Soundscapes cannot be preserved across centuries like buildings, writings or fossils. In the jungles of the Yucatan there are countless archaeological sites where you can see what the Mayan civilisation lived like. You can admire their intricate architectural design and wonder at the advanced glyph script they developed. Can you hope to experience the same soundscapes as they did? You probably can. The first step would be to remove all the sounds that Mayans did not experience in their day-to-day lives. Motorised road traffic, scooters, drones, aircraft – these are elements that probably did not pollute the soundscapes in Mayan times. On my expedition to Mexico I visited a few remote Mayan sites where most tourists didn't venture. These sites are far away from busy roads, and only reachable on foot after long drives through the jungle. Once there, I set up a few recording rigs and left them out for several days at a time. I had a very knowledgeable local guide who helped me immensely. Is that it? Yes, more or less. The soundscape might not be exactly the same as 500 or 2000 years ago, but it won't be drastically different either. Some species might have moved in or become locally extinct. There are differences related to day/night cycles, seasons, global warming and cooling cycles, local weather and a myriad other events that can affect what a place sounds like. Having said that, most of the wildlife you can hear in this recording will probably have been here in Mayan times. The acoustics of their cities are quite important to consider as well. The big plazas and stepped masonry structures with hard edges have lots of reflective surfaces. The soundscapes of their cities would be a beautiful mix of wild jungle soundscape with man-made acoustics and reflections. Pay attention and see if you can hear these reflections in this recording.

Transcript included below…Today, we're going to talk about the process of unearthing and cultivating our hidden talents – and spoiler alert – they don't all have to do with the guitar, or even music.I love adventure movies about archaeology. I grew up watching “Indiana Jones,” and in recent years have enjoyed the “National Treasure” movies, and even the new-ish Tom Holland caper “Uncharted.” In the latter, when talking about the discovery of a priceless archaeological relic, one character says, “You never get used to that feeling.” She's talking about the exhilaration that comes with finding something beautiful that has been hidden away for a long time.Nearly three decades ago, I had the unique experience of traveling to Central America with my father. With my command of the Spanish language, I was able to arrange multiple means of travel, from small aircraft to taxis. We decided to take a taxi day trip into Guatemala, because we wanted to experience the Mayan Ruins of Tikal. Several of these structures had been carefully excavated by archaeologists. They were incredibly majestic and built with a level of extreme precision by a civilization that was well ahead of its time.One particular location that was quite breathtaking was La Plaza Mayor – the Great Plaza, where two towering temples were placed perfectly opposite each other. I decided to make the ascent of a huge staircase to the top of one of the temples. The stairs were made of perfectly chiseled stone, and they were steep. There were no handrails anywhere, the stairs were twenty feet wide or so, and there were almost 200 steps to the top of the temple, so the ascent was a little precarious.When I got to the top, I could see straight across to the other temple, but when I looked the opposite direction, I could see several dozen structures peeking through the jungle canopy. I carefully made my way back down to the ground, and began to walk around some more. As I explored the area and walked a few miles, I would frequently walk past what seemed like a huge hill that did not seem in keeping with the flat topography around it. These large formations were completely overgrown with jungle vegetation. Only when I stepped back to survey these “hills” did I realize what they were. They were unexcavated Mayan ruins.I overheard the conversation of a local touring group, and was fascinated to hear the guide say that the vast majority of the ruins in the area had not been excavated, due to the tremendous financial expense involved with unearthing them. So the ruins that I could see represented only a fraction of the ruins that were there.You may have already grasped the parallel I'm about to draw with today's episode. We have talents. Some of them are evident, especially because they've been cultivated to an extent.But like the myriad of ruins in the Guatemalan jungle, there is always good work to be done, to excavate and to reveal what is there in our collection of hidden talents.Musical TalentsSome of these talents may fall into the category of musical abilities, and even in terms of music, there are subsets. We may have a strong talent for rhythm. I know people who don't know the specific nomenclature associated with rhythmic analysis and counting, but who have tremendous groove intuition. We may have harmonic skills that show promise. We may have a natural inclination towards vocal harmonies, or harmonies on an instrument.With arguably the most important instrument we can develop (our ears) we may hear things in music that we can recognize and take to the next level, or we may have intuition towards imitating or even transcribing what we hear. We may have a knack for arranging or synthesizing something into another genre of music, such as taking a classic hymn and bringing it into a contemporary or folk style.Our musicianship may be focused on the guitar, for which we may have a propensity for coaxing strong grooves and rhythms, or gentle, elegant fingerstylings.Some of these gifts are ones we can be born with, or develop at an early age, but which we may still need to “unearth” and “cultivate” with the aid of someone who can graciously guide us.The word “Education” is made up from the Latin root “educere.” It actually means “to draw out” as with a talent or gift.And when a gift is “drawn out,” it can be shaped into a skill. And I believe a skill (especially a musical one) is something to be cultivated over the long game.So, I'll pause and ask the question – what are your musical gifts? Have you discovered them yet? Perhaps you have self-awareness to know which aspects of music are intuitive and naturally a part of your giftings. Here's the thing, though – a natural ability, when left completely alone without nurturing, is in some ways a missed opportunity. Did you catch the words I used a moment ago? They were “cultivate” and “shaped.”Think about a diamond in the rough. If someone finds a diamond, but it does not get shaped, its beauty might not be fully experienced by others.Imagine a wedding ring with an uncut, rough diamond mounted on it. It would have inherent beauty, for sure, but from a practical standpoint, it might not stay in the prongs; there's a chance it could fall out. But more importantly, it would in some ways look “unfinished.”Now, we are never finished. The day we stop learning and growing is the day the Lord brings us home…even if we wind down our public musical offerings and “retire.” I've met retired musicians who have played music all the way up until their last day on earth.But I've also met musicians who lack the discipline to cultivate and unearth their talents, and who would rather rest on what their natural ability can provide. This is unfortunate, but common.Remember how I mentioned that the Mayan ruins were unearthed at considerable expense? Developing our musical talent could cost us money in the form of education, lessons, and study materials. I'm not sure how you're choosing to learn the guitar, but there are many different ways to learn, from private lessons, to group classes, the occasional workshop at a conference, an instructional DVD, or an online experience.Having gone through all of the above, I chose, in 2019, to launch GuitarSuccess4U, a one-of-a-kind learning experience for beginning and intermediate Christian guitarists. One of the main reasons I brought GuitarSuccess4U to life was because I didn't see anything out there that offered what I knew was possible.In a nutshell, it's a self-paced experience that goes deep enough to help you understand the guitar from multiple angles, but also how to apply what you're learning for practical use. It also includes expert interviews that go beyond just the study of the guitar, including health and posture, guitar repair and care, and how to listen closely.I'd also say that it's highly affordable. It's not the least expensive learning option out there, but it's a fraction of the cost of private lessons of this caliber.For those who want to learn “for free,” consider the hidden cost of having to sift through all the free online content that's out there. The hidden cost is: time.And while it's essential for us to invest time in unearthing and cultivating our talents, there can be a lot of wasted time spent looking for tips in some pretty confusing places.It's been my experience that people who want to learn to play the guitar aren't just looking for information. Information is just about everywhere.What they're looking for is organized information with application. In other words, they need a clear path to success, with a curated collection of tools, and a process that guides them along and shows them how and why to use what they're learning.Ergo, I chose to create GuitarSuccess4U. I invite you to explore our website – it's located at www.GuitarSuccess4U.com. This could change the game for you.Whatever your musical talents may be, it's my conviction that they need to be unearthed and cultivated in order for you to fulfill your potential. Will you invest the resources and time to develop them?What about Talents that Aren't Musical?There are many talents that I would say work hand-in-hand with our musical gifts, but that aren't what I'd consider musical talents.We may have a natural winsome charisma or stage presence which allows us to welcome an audience or a congregation of worshipers into an experience where they immediately let down their guard and enter in.If you think this is something everyone has…I challenge you to think again. I've sat under the leadership of people where I've felt quite awkward as they've spoken from the platform. They either don't have the gift of being “up in front,” or if they do, they need to cultivate it. They might frown while they speak, or they might have a monotone cadence to their voice. They might “um” and “uh” their way to communicating their thoughts. They might look down at the floor because of some subconscious insecurity.Confidence and stage presence are not guaranteed. It's likely that they can be “unearthed” or “cultivated,” but it may take time and guidance. I've worked with musicians to coach them to be more confident, especially as they speak.A healthy self-confidence can promote joy in those we share our music with, on and off the platform.We may have an eye and ear for detail that is not limited to music, but influences how we lay out our equipment, connect the cabling, and position our instruments and accoutrements onstage.This eye for detail may lead to a higher level of organization. It may allow us to edit charts, lyric slides, or anything printed or digitally captured. We need good editors, and not just to catch spelling errors, but also to re-shape words and phrases for better communication of thoughts or ideas.We may have good verbal or even non-verbal communication skills that equip collaborators to reach deeper for their offerings. Think about how important body language and facial expressions are for communication. I have worked with musicians who can communicate what they want from me in the moment simply by the way they look at me. That's a talent that not everyone has unearthed or cultivated. I've seen the opposite: musicians who keep the same facial expression even when they could offer more communication.These talents I've listed here don't directly related to music, but they all intersect with our musical expression.We may have many talents that are evident to others, but that we actually take for granted as something we just do. Not everyone has every talent, and you may have unique gifts that others do not. But let me press you a bit, because if you're experiencing these words, you're still breathing. And it's likely that you still have your faculties enough to be able to play music on some level.So, if that's the case, you and I may still have some talents that remain to be discovered, at least in their full potential. And if we are leaning into the discovery and cultivation of those talents, then that's a beautiful thing.There are different seasons of musical development, as I talked about in Guitar Through the Seasons, Part 1 (Episode 17) and Part 2 (Episode 18) of Guitar Serious Fun. Under some circumstances, we need to rest and recharge, or focus our attention elsewhere, rather than developing our musical talents. I definitely want to acknowledge that.However, if we have the bandwidth to further cultivate our talents, and we're not doing this…I'd like to challenge us to make some changes in the rhythms of our lives. I'd like to exhort you to claim your talents, and to make some intentional efforts to develop them.If you know, for example, that you've got a great way on stage, a solid command of your instrument, and a heart to serve with your gifts, keep going. Keep learning, and keep growing.Side note – if you don't have a clear vision for what some of your talents are, I encourage you to ask people you trust. Literally ask them, “What are some of the strengths you observe in me as I play the guitar?”People whose opinions you can trust might help you hone in on what your deep areas of strength are.Be open to their insights, though, because they may also tell you what they perceive to be an area that is not strong at all. That's actually a reason to rejoice, because we can't all be really good at everything.It's important to focus on areas of skill, and not spend unnecessary time trying to get good at something we just don't have the inherent abilities for.Sure, we all need to be available to do what needs to be done, but I love watching someone walking in their giftedness…especially when they are working diligently to develop it.So, may we feel the exhilaration that comes with taking our talents to the next level by unearthing them…but let's not rest in that feeling, but rather take joy in cultivating our talents and stewarding our talents for God's glory.And let's have serious fun as we do it, shall we?Wrap-UpToday we talked about our hidden talents, and how to unearth and cultivate them. Remember, your talents may be musical, non-musical, or both. But lean in, and take some intentional time to discover what it is the Lord has blessed you with in terms of strengths. Once you've got a better sense of those, I challenge you to develop them to the extent that time allows for. There are people out there who need you to step forward with your gifts.And if you don't know what some of your gifts are, pray, seek counsel, and find out. And then let me know how I can serve you. The best way I know how to equip guitarists as they cultivate their gifts for the glory of God is through GuitarSuccess4U.I'm working to develop a presence on Instagram, YouTube and Facebook as well, where I can offer insights and helpful tips. But the real feast is waiting inside GuitarSuccess4U, where I've literally spent thousands of hours creating that unique experience.This podcast at Guitar Serious Fun is just one more avenue where I offer practical encouragement for guitarists. And I hope today's episode has done that. If it has, would you leave a comment, a 5-star review, or both? If it has been particularly empowering to you, please share it with someone else.Thank you for taking time to experience what I've put together for you.

For a long time I have been receiving messages in meditation, dreams, and synchronicities guiding me to go to Palenque Mexico and learn more about the Mayan Civilization and Mayan Astrology so when we finally made it a reality this January, I was sooo excited! What I didn't know was the incredibly life changing experience my family and I experienced together. In this video I share with you how in a very auspicious way, my family and I were lead on our trip to visit the Mayan Ruins of Palenque to Mayan Medicine Men which some people know as Shamans to experience Mayan Temazcal Ceremony which some people know as sweat lodges. These ceremonies have been in existence for thousands of years and offer a powerful way to clear your ancestral karmic energy and heal body, mind, and Spirit. . I also share with you why the next 3 months with ALL Planets now being direct are going to be life changing and why you should be dreaming BIGGER and more about the Mayan Prophecies and this deep healing work of disrupting ancestral karmic patterns is not only so sacred but needed to thrive in this new Age of the Sixth Sun.

Where to Stay Naay Curamoria Tulum Hotel Caruma - went through booking.com, but also can book directly through them. Their suite style room was perfect and we stayed there comfortably for 3 nights and 4 days. There is a spa style bathroom shower, but the best part had to be how kind the entire staff was and the rooftop bar and pool. If you've been researching where to stay in Tulum, this location was so centralized that we were able to walk around and only take a scooter when we needed to go a little further. How To Get Around Transport STP - Caribe set up through Naay around $280 round trip plus tip but felt secure and I liked that it was partnered with the hotel for security purposes and they were highly rated. Ask right away if you can rent a scooter with them, it was $39 a day and we only got one because I don't necessarily like driving unless I have to. Some roads were busier than others, but we stayed super close to everything we went to and felt relatively safe driving those short distances plus it was so easy to park ANYWHERE. There's also IBike, which is a reputable place to rent from. I have friends who did rent a car there and I think it wouldn't take too much skill to drive. It just might be inconvenient to find parking safely for that car everywhere you go. Places to Eat -Taboo Tulum - $$$$ but you have to go especially if you are celebrating something. It was a full moon when we went & after a delicious dinner, we walked the beach and found swings and literally had the time of our lives. Pink Lobster Tulum Playa Paraiso Beach Club on the beach, perfect for a quick bite/ area to hang outAhau Tulum Sculpture Park Tempts Visitors To TulumNamed a haven for wellness and relaxation Raw Love Cafe for Coffee ABSOLUTELY LOVED THEIR COFFEE and shopping if you want something unique and have enough space in your luggage. Bonita Burger Tulum - AMAZING for brunch/lunchTHINGS TO DO & SEETulum Archaeological Zone for Mayan Ruins Mystika Immersive MuseumGo to at least one Cenotes while you are there. A very small and simple one we went to was Tripadvisor and Viator were great resources when planning excursions, but most of them were all day excursions and our short trip didn't allow us to capitalize on that. Tulum is about 2 hours from Chichen Itza, a modern world wonder, and staying in Tulum might be the perfect time to make the trek across the country to see the wonder.
Hello everyone, today we're going to review the Sandos Playacar Resort. Now I have stayed at this resort on personal trips and on our hosted group trips. This is my favorite resort out of the three Sandos properties in Cancun. I love it because of the beach is so relaxing, you can sit out under the cabana and enjoy the view with your significant other drinking a refreshing beverage taking it all in.This is a budget friendly resort that's an excellent choice for family vacations, group trips, or a couples trip if you're looking for a quick getaway. I love how each section is separate from each other with its own little amenities. Sandos Playacar is an all inclusive resort in Playa del Carmen, Mexico. The beach resort sits on one of the most beautiful beaches in the Riviera Maya and guests enjoy direct beach access.Spend your days swaying in hammocks beneath the palm trees in the beach area or enjoying an exotic cocktail by the swimming pools.When it comes to food and drinks Sandos Playacar has an excellent choice of restaurants and bars offering international cuisine, gourmet dining, beach snack bars, buffets, swim up bars, and more.Guests can enjoy mini golf courses, tennis, fitness center access, world-class spa, and much more. Another highlight of our all inclusive Playa del Carmen resort is the outstanding entertainment, from daily activities to spectacular nightly shows you will never get bored during your all inclusive vacation with Sandos.Now Sandos Playacar is one of the few Playa del Carmen resorts with a brand-new water park, located just in front of the white sand beach with awesome ocean views the water park offers non-stop fun and adventure for everyone.The resort has 9 restaurants on property with different options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner with 24 hour room service. The good thing I like with the properties is that you will constantly be asked when you enter if you have any food allergies or restrictions. Its best beforehand when reserving to let the resort know of all restrictions and restaurant have a list clearly detailed of different food options.Though it is known as the beautiful Caribbean vacation hotspot, Playa del Carmen has so much history and culture. Situated within the Riviera Maya, this wonderful place used to be home to a prominent Mayan community. The Mayan Culture lives on and is shown through breathtaking Mayan Ruins that are a must-see during your getaway. For more information visit our website and fill out a trip inquiry or send us an email at vacations@jektravelsllc.comI have enjoyed my time with you today on the Jetsetting with JEK Travels podcast.

The ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Future paid Scrooge a visit. We borrow that concept of three as we embark in search of haunted bars, ghost stories and energy centers with a New Year's Eve and/or New Year connection. Places we explore this episode include: Sydney, Australia - We check out two haunted hotels in the Rocks: The Australian Heritage Hotel and the Russel Hotel. Both aren't far from the Circular Quay, a great place to watch New Year's Eve fireworks in Sydney. London, England - We briefly examine the story of a ghost who some say jumps from Westminster Bridge as Big Ben rings in the New Year. Some even say it's Jack the Ripper... (Though that's doubtful.) Speaking of the infamous serial killer, we briefly check out a haunted pub he may have a connection to, The Ten Bells. We also visit the Grenadier, one of London's oldest and many say most haunted pubs. Edinburgh, Scotland - It wouldn't be a proper New Year without checking out Hogmanay and a pub that proclaims itself Edinburgh's most haunted, the Banshee Labyrinth. New York City, New York - For NYE travelers, Times Square is often a priority destination. One of NYC's most luxurious and storied hotels is not far from Times Square, the Algonquin. NYC Ghosts shared that the Algonquin conducts a mini exorcism every New Year's Eve where staff dim the lights and march through the building banging pots and pans to try and ward off sinister spirits. Nashville, Tennessee - This booming city is an up-and-comer NYE travel destination. Hank Williams Sr. died on New Year's Day. Not in Nashville, and years before Tootsie's Orchid Lounge ever opened. But some say the ghosts of the honky tonk's proprietor, Tootsie Bess, and the country music legend haunts the Broadway bar. Chicago, Illinois - Legend has it that a woman jumped from the 10th floor of the Drake Hotel on New Year's Eve. Some believe that may be the woman in red thought to haunt the hotel. Anchorage, Alaska - Another tormented woman who took her life on New Year's Eve can be found in the last stall on the left in the women's bathroom at the Captain Cook Hotel. Except, for her peace of mind and those using the facility, the possessive potty poltergeist's stall has been bolted shut from the inside to try and appease her restless --and sometimes expressive-- manifestations. Energy vortexes around the world - For those interested in ushering in the New Year with good vibrations, a visit to an energy vortex might be just the thing. We mention eight: Sedona, Arizona; Mount Shasta in California; Maui's Haleakalā Volcano in Hawai; Glastonbury and Stonehenge in England; Es Vedra off Ibizia's coast in Spain; the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt; and the Mayan Ruins in Tulum, Mexico. NOTE Because this episode mentions suicide, we feel it's important to stress that if you suspect someone you know is contemplating suicide, or you yourself are, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 800-272-8255. You don't have to brave the darkness alone.

Hola from Cancún, Mexico In this episode, I visit one of the most visited and touristy places in Mexico: Cancún on the Caribbean coast of the country because, why not? Let's get into the fiesta spirit and kick off with a classic pub quiz question: what's closer to Cuba: Key West, Florida, or Cancún? If you look at a map, Cancún appears the closest to Cuba, right? Wrong. In fact, Key West is 151 km (94 miles) from the closest coast of Cuba, and Cancún comes in 2nd place at 206 km (128 miles). Now drink! After nearly missing my flight to Cancún due to the airport flight gate being in Spanish, I soon found myself in the air sipping on a travel-sized Cuba Libre to get into the vibe. After a little while, I looked out the window to see my next destination: a beautiful white sandy coastline with palm trees met with a crystal-clear ocean. The excitement was real. TOUCHDOWN IN CANCÚN The first two items on my list of things to do in Cancún were to visit a local art museum and go scuba diving. The only issue I had was to decide which to do first (#firstworldproblems). Being in complete holiday relax mode, I struggled to make up my mind so I decided to do both — at the same time. But first… 7 SURPRISING FACTS ABOUT CANCÚN You Won't Burn Your Feet on the Beach You know how you burn your feet when you walk on a tropical beach without sandals somewhere in the world? Well, not here in Cancún. The 14-mile-long shimmering white sand beach is actually not made out of sand as we know it. It's actually crushed coral, meaning it will naturally feel cool underneath bare feet – no matter how hot the weather. Only Three People Lived Here Cancún is a major tourist destination that attracts a whopping 700,000 people every year, which is almost as many people as locals. Today, Cancún has a population of around 888,797 people. But this has not always been the case. In 1970, the official population was only 3. Not 300 or 3,000. No, only 3 people, and they were the caretakers of a coconut plantation. Now, it's completely different. The city currently has 4,674 hotels and around 30,000 hotel rooms. Cancún Has a Huge Mexican Flag If you're in the buzzing hotel zone, you will notice an enormous Mexican flag – or as they call it here, gran Bandera Mexicana. It's made out of the same material used to make parachutes (probably to make it lighter, but it's still quite heavy). The flag itself weighs 228 kg (503 pounds) and took 40 soldiers to raise up a 105-meter (344ft) flagpole. This is something you can see in other places in Mexico, as it's part of a program which started in 1999, called “banderas monumentales”, Spanish for "monumental flags". They're a collection of tall flagpoles located throughout Mexico. The Beach Was Destroyed When Hurricane Wilma hit Cancún in 2005, it wrecked 8 miles of its beautiful beaches. And Cancún without a beach isn't really much of a tourist attraction, so it underwent a major beach restoration project from 2009 to 2010. They added 1.3 billion gallons of white sand – scooped up from the seabed to the coast at the cost of around $70 million U.S. dollars. Turtles Lay Eggs on the Beach Each May, thousands of turtles return to their original home here in Cancún to lay eggs on the beaches, and their nests are located right in the heart of the Hotel Zone. Thankfully, the hotel owners, employees, and even visitors help to ensure the eggs are protected and safe from harm. So, if you happen to go in May, areas of the beach are closed to tourists so that the turtles can go about their business in peace. Swim with Tons of Whale Sharks Between May and September, literally tons of whale sharks visit waters just off Cancún. They are absolutely massive – some of them the size of a bus, but they're completely harmless and will happily let you join them for a swim. The World's Second Biggest Barrier Reef is Here We all know Australia's famous Great Barrier Reef as the biggest coral structure in the world. But number two is right here: the Maya Barrier Reef is the second-largest coral reef in the world, and one of Cancún's major attractions boasting stunning marine life, swaying corals, and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Great for snorkelling and scuba diving. CANCÚN'S UNDERWATER SCULPTURE MUSEUM And speaking of scuba diving, as soon as I arrived, I planned a scuba trip and combined it with a visit to a museum. It's really two birds, one stone type situation. Thanks to the hands of British sculptor Jason deCaires Taylor and five talented Mexican sculptors, the famous Cancún Underwater Museum displays a series of breathtaking sculptures in the ocean located between Cancún and Isla Mujeres. The underwater museum consists of over 500 life-size sculptures, making it one of the largest, and most incredible, underwater artificial art attractions in the world. While registering at the dive centre, I got a chance to chat with some of the other divers who are about to enjoy this incredible experience with me. Some of them hadn't done much research beforehand and didn't really know exactly what they were about to experience. The Cancún Underwater Museum holds an interesting blend of sculptures ranging from people standing in a circle looking at the sky and a group of men with their heads buried in the sand to two sculptures of actual VW Beetle cars. Perhaps the most impressive is a group of nearly 450 human-size statues standing together in a big group. It was so weird and almost eerie swimming around that. Many of the sculptures have beautiful coral growing on them, and it was actually the objective of the project to save the nearby coral reefs by providing an alternative destination for divers. To place the sculptures on the ocean floor, they had a special lift made so none would be damaged during the move. A forty-ton crane was placed on a commercial ferry in order to lower the sculptures. Some are so heavy that they had to be lifted into the water using lift bags. The sculptures are created with pH-neutral marine concrete and are created above ground and cleaned before being taken underwater so they do not have any chemicals on them that may harm the water, marine life, or reef. It is truly remarkable and a must-see if you're a diver. If not, you can still see a lot from snorkelling or going on a glass-bottom boat tour. But scuba diving is the best way to experience the museum. As I was gliding through the water, I found myself deeply transfixed by the well-thought-out themes. The real-life-like sculptures made it the most surreal diving experience I've ever had. ISLA MUJERES Isla Mujeres (The Island of Women) is a wonderful place to visit when you're in Cancún. This sleepy but vibrant little island has become quite popular in the past few years, and it makes for a great day trip. It's only a 20-minute ferry ride from Cancún – over the Underwater Museum. A few days after my dive, I took the ferry to the island with a good friend of mine who flew in from Denmark to join me for a few days. And right off the ferry, we ran into one of the locals, José, who was trying to sell us a trip of two. And naturally at a ”special price for you, my friends”… After breakfast, we went back to José and bought one of his packages that took us snorkelling for a few hours that only cost $20 each (advertised for $35). You can do the same: get off the ferry and then just speak to José. If you can't find him in the crowd of people, just visit TripAdvisor to find a bunch of activities to do on the island. Isla Mujeres is a beautiful, peaceful paradise and is more laid-back and tranquil than Cancún. The island is only 8 km (5 miles) long and half a mile wide at its widest point. The colourful downtown area, known as ‘Centro' is four by six blocks – perfect for exploring by foot. It's small but that doesn't mean there isn't plenty to do. You can fill your day with water sports, shopping, exploring, and making new friends in the special atmosphere that is Isla Mujeres. CAR RENTAL FRUSTRATIONS After returning to Cancún, we planned a trip to visit another must-see site in the area. But before we could get going, I needed to rent a car. This is usually a straightforward process, but not here. I booked and paid for the car hire online and when I got to the rental agency there was some kind of mixup. Apparently, I had to pay more than what I had already paid online… They wanted about the same one more time for insurance that I didn't need or want. I was at the agency for almost an hour and a half, but finally, I succeeded and the next day we headed west to Chichen Itza with the wonderful sounds of Mexican radio commercials blasting on the radio. On the way, we were flagged over by a local entrepreneur who sold us a great package that included free parking, a buffet lunch, and tickets to the temples which allowed us to skip the queues. VISITING MAYAN RUINS CHICHEN ITZA Chichen Itza is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Mexico and welcomes over 2.5 million visitors each year. You can reach it by car, bus, or on different tours. It's just 200km (120 miles) west of Cancún. Chichen Itza translates to “At the brim of the well where the Wise Men of the Water Live” in Mayan and was regarded as one of the most important city-states in pre-Hispanic America. It's a well-known archaeological site and even more so after being selected as one of the New 7 Wonders of the World in 2007. Chichen Itza is divided into two parts, Old Chichen and Chichen Itza, where you can find a total of 26 Mayan Ruins to see on the Mayan Site. I met a Mayan descendant named Santos who can speak Mayan. He even taught me how to say ‘how much' in Mayan, which came in handy. Chichen Itza was a large pre-Columbian city built by the Maya people of the Terminal Classic period that dates back to years 600–900AD. It was one of the largest Maya cities and it may have had the most diverse population in the Maya world. And that's probably why you see so many different architectural styles at the site. The Big Pyramid or El Castillo is the most astonishing Mayan Ruin or building inside the Archaeological Site. This temple dominates the centre. Walking around the pyramid, I noticed the amazing way sound travels up and down the pyramid. If you clap in a specific direction, the sound travels back to you in an interesting way. Of course, I recorded it so remember to listen to the podcast – if you haven't already. General Admission to this UNESCO World Heritage site is $27 for adults and $4 for children. But it might be worth spending a bit more on a guided tour. Or you can do like I did: before you get to the site, stop your car and listen to what the salespeople have to say. It might just be a good deal. IS CANCÚN TOO AMERICANIZED? I've heard people say that Cancún isn't really Mexico and that it's too overrun by American tourists. And actually, also a lot of Europeans. Yes, Cancún is infamous for being “Americanized” but if you ask the locals, it's really just another face of Mexico. Mexico is a proud and very diverse country, so don't let people tell you that it is “not the real Mexico”, because it is. It's just as real as any other part of the country. I spent some time in Monterrey without that many tourists, and then I came here and saw a totally different side of the country. And I'm so glad I got to experience both. But there's so much more I want to see here, so I plan to return soon. Next, I'm heading to Naples. No, not Italy. I'm going to Naples, Florida and then I plan to visit Key West, Miami, and then Orlando. And maybe a few other places too. That's coming up in the final episode of this season... My name is Palle Bo, and I gotta keep moving. See ya.

The exquisite stonework is the trademark of Machu Picchu, and in several renowned buildings one can see the apex of Inca stone construction that uses no mortar.

And today we're going to talk about ruins in our countries.Silvia: Actually, Guatemala is quite famous for its Mayan ruins. We have a lot of them all over the country but especially up in the north near Mexico, and the most famous one is Tikal.Diego: Oh, wow, have you been there?Silvia: Yeah, I've been there and now apparently they're discovering more ruins around that area so every year you can go and just go visit a new ruin. So it's quite interesting.Diego: The people in Guatemala often go to see these places or is it usually tourists?Silvia: It's mainly tourists, but yeah, I've known a lot of people that just like to go, especially with my parents. They love archeology[考古學] so they're taking us every time and seeing different places. They also discovered a new one that's getting a lot attention from the media lately. Apparently, it's the biggest temple in the world, so it's getting a lot of media attention and now they even made a kind of like a replica at the Shiang Hai Expo.Diego: Oh, wow.Silvia: Yeah. But the only way you can go there right now is by helicopter.Diego: So it's a bit expensive to get there?Silvia: Yeah, it is, so a lot of celebrities apparently have flown there but for Guatemalans, I don't think many Guatemalans have been there yet.Diego: Yeah, maybe because it's difficult to be able to afford that. We also have Mayan ruins in Mexico. Have you ever been to Cancun?Silvia: Yeah, I went to TuTulmas around there.Diego: Yes, Tulumas is a very nice Mayan site because it's on a cliff and you see all of the ocean and it's really nice. The contrast between the buildings and the white sand and the blue ocean. It's really, really beautiful. And we also have Chiciniza, which is like a Mayan pyramid. Have you ever heard of it?Silvia: I've heard of it, but I haven't been there yet.Diego: Yeah, it was voted one of the seven wonders of the modern world, so it's really, really nice and it's really large, and unlike the pyramids in Egypt, like on the top it's flat so it's a bit different.Silvia: Yeah, mainly the Guatemalan ruins are also a little bit flat.Diego: Yeah, I think that was like Mayan architecture. It was flat on the top.

Download In this episode, Joe and Kyle sit down with Renn Butler, who graduated from the second ever class of Holotropic Breathwork in 1989. During the show, they discuss topics on Breathwork, Stan Grof practices, archetypal astrology and the astrological landscape we are entering in 2019. 3 Key Points: Renn Butler is an Archetypal and Holotropic Astrologer since the 70’s who uses astrology in his Breathwork practice. Stan Grof’s Internalized Protocol includes lying down with eye shades and headphones with a sober sitter. A sober sitter is more common in therapeutic settings versus the shamanistic group settings, and Renn believes there is more benefit to a sober sitter in a personal session than a group session. We are moving into a Jupiter square Neptune for all of 2019. Neptune represents our soul’s yearning to reawaken to the universal field of consciousness and Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches, so we are entering into a time of opportunity for self exploration and awakening.

Navigating Psychedelics Show Notes About Renn Renn became interested in Stan Grof’s work through many conversations with Richard Tarnas in 1980, and then participated in a Grof month long session with guests like Gwen Frishkoff He spent much time in Esalon He remembers walking through the hallways where the mandalas from breathwork sessions were hung He has been an Archetypal/Holotropic Astrologer since the 70’s Archetypal Astrology Stan Grof looked at ways to determine the content of people’s experiences in assisted psychotherapy Through his friendship with Richard Tarnas, he found that people’s planetary alignments or ‘transits’ corresponded in a remarkable way with their experience in a session “The purpose of astrology is to predict the meaning behind events rather than trying to determine the specific concrete forms they take.” - Renn Carl Jung coined the term archetype based on the Greek word “arche”, which means ‘the forms’ It's the psychological meaning behind events Richard learned astrology by looking at his sessions and the content of the sessions and their correlation with astrological transits Based on his findings, he was able to predict the best days to do sessions A Powerful Breathwork Session Renn had Kundalini Experiences happening for 4 years Transiting Pluto was conjoining his natal Neptune Pluto compels into being whatever archetypes it aligns with Neptune represents divine consciousness He did a 5 hour breathwork session that caused him to re-live aspects of toxic womb (disturbances of intrauterine life) Pluto can help clear out disturbances of the psyche At the end of the session, he felt way more cleared out than he did before It resolved his Kundalini episode that he was in for the last few years Kundalini Awakenings Some describe it as energy moving up the spine or chakra It means to clear out leftover traumatic baggage in the psyche People can have emotional outbursts and start crying or screaming as they discharge the energy Afterward, they will care what happens to the ecosystem and around them and want to be a part of the solution Spiritual Emergence and Psychosis Joe asks when to tell the difference between knowing if someone is going through a Spiritual Emergence or needs hospitalization Renn responds saying you need to look for if the person is taking responsibility for their healing versus projecting. Projecting would be someone saying “You guys are trying to poison me” versus taking responsibility and saying “I’m feeling toxic feelings inside myself” Free Webinar on Spiritual Emergence and Psychosis Renn mentions a woman who did 90 LSD sessions with Stan Grof “The greatest therapeutic outcomes exist with intelligent well established individuals whose lives become boring and rigid in routine” - Stan Grof Current Astrological Alignments The Astrological Alignments for the next few years are supercharged Uranus square Pluto - a powerful set of archetypes The last time this happened was the end of the 60’s Richard Tarnas calls it the ‘sunset effect’, colors will saturate the sky in the archetypal realm Many people are going to have dramatic healing breakthroughs and openings until 2020 For those who are a bit skeptical about astrology, Renn suggest reading newer texts; Cosmos and Psyche Prometheus the Awakener Making the Gods Work for You Horoscope Symbols Planets in Transit Astrological Transits in Relation to Breathwork Richard’s correlation of the outer planets Saturn, Uranus, Neptune and Pluto with Grof’s 4 perinatal matrices shows the process of revolutionizing astrology Carl Jung would do chart work before seeing all of his patients He would try to find transits with Jupiter, Uranus, Venus, etc There are no astrological alignments that would be too dangerous to do journey-work during But Renn says it's like putting up the lightning rod during certain transits during breathwork “Lie back and let the mother give birth to you” - Renn Renn says it's safer if you are on your back during journey work versus walking around and facing gravity and falling or hurting yourself Grof Internalized Protocol One patient at a time (sitter, breather team) to lie down, wear eye shades, and listen to music through headphones The sitter agrees not to judge or direct the process or abandon the process You can expect miracles with this type of protocol You can't face this material by yourself, you really need people you trust, who are sober and not doing a substance, one person at a time Renn says the ayahuasca revolution has brought a lot of greatness to the western world, but the shamanic traditions usually meant that the shaman drinks with the clients to have a magical insight into the users psyche Sitter Role In a therapeutic framework, the sitter is sober and lets the client do all of the work, and the sitter is there to assist, but not to interfere with the process Stan describes it as a way to maximize the benefits and minimize the risks Renn brings up an example of 3 people doing mushrooms together One person might be feeling aggressive, and another person might feel like a baby wanting to be held The aggressive person won't want to be doing any cuddling One person does the catalyst, and the other 2 support them, and then the next time they rotate Renn thinks one deep session is more beneficial than 3 ‘half-assed’ sessions Interruptions During Sessions Some people have a fear that their experience may interrupt another person's experience Renn says that if someone is laughing or screaming or crying that he understands it is just a part of the universe of the way things just are He is shocked to hear stories about people having a loud experience getting taken out away from the rest of the group and told to contain themselves Kyle mentions that sounds usually aren't a bother, and the loud music helps But it's talking, English words that bring people out of a session People can have great ayahuasca ceremonies, and then they think that ayahuasca is the best psychedelic out there Renn says that all psychedelics are great tools But he encourages people to try breathwork and this solo session style healing Joe says he dreams of a place where shamanism takes a look at the solo process and maybe not always the group process, that all cultures can combine our knowledge for the best result 2019 We are moving into a Jupiter square Neptune for all of 2019, 90 degrees between Jupiter and Neptune Neptune represents our soul’s yearning to reawaken to the larger world’s soul, to the universal field of consciousness Jupiter amplifies whatever it touches This presents a large opportunity for self exploration, with a feeling of deeper cosmic safety “It seems like our psyche’s wait until things are safe for the deepest material to surface.” - Renn Renn says it's good to focus on death so that we can constantly keep our priorities straight Links A Week of Holotropic Breathwork, Dreamwork, Archetypal Astrology, and Visits to Mayan Ruins in Tulum, Mexico Archetypal Astrology Consultations Renn's Books The Archetypal Universe Pathways to Wholeness Check out our online course, "Introduction to Psychedelics" About Renn Following a B.A. in English and Religious Studies from the University of Alberta, Renn Butler lived at the Esalen Institute in California for 2½ years where he became deeply immersed in the transpersonal psychology of Stanislav Grof and the emerging archetypal astrology of Richard Tarnas. He completed training as a Holotropic Breathwork facilitator with Stan and Christina Grof in 1989 and has facilitated many workshops in Victoria, Canada. His research includes over three decades of archetypal-astrology consultations and Holotropic Breathwork workshops, and thirty-five years of Jungian-Grofian dreamwork.

What else would you expect from one of the best road trips in Mexico? Why Yucatan Vacation? Why is it the Best Road Trip in Mexico? Rob and I both think that a Yucatan Vacation is home to some of the best road trips in Mexico. Why? For one, the Yucatan's roads are flat with good signage and infrastructure. Secondly, it's easy to pick up a car rental at Cancun's International airport. In addition, Rob explains the benefits of traveling in the Yucatan with kids. He describes it as an ideal marriage between history, culture, and nature. The Yucatan Peninsula is part of Mexico, but it has its own unique culture, that is infused with its Mayan past. Sure, there are great restaurants, beautiful beaches, and abundant wildlife. But you also have the Mayan culture, seen both in the dozens of archaeological sites but also living within the locals. The Yucatan also has unique flora and fauna. Especially fauna. There are dolphins off the coast and flamingos in Rio Logartos and Celestun. There are the turtles in Akumal, as well as tropical fish when snorkeling. Then there are monkeys, crocodiles, deer and more. And did we mention the turtles in Akumal? Yucatan Road Trip: Start in Cancun For our Yucatan road trip itinerary, we start in Cancun. This is a major tourist hub, with massive hotels and entertainment complexes. Cancun is also where the Peninsula's largest international airport is. For most people, this is the best place to fly into. For Rob and his family, the Yucatan vacation starts soon after landing. They leave the airport and, after picking up a rental car, go straight to the beach. Before they leave Cancun, they visit a few of the Mayan ruins in or near the city. That's right: there are Mayan ruins in Cancun! Visiting Mayan ruins are certainly one of the best things to do in the Yucatan peninsula, and even Cancun has them. The most famous Mayan ruins in Cancun are places like San Miguel and El Rey. They are probably not far from your Cancun hotel. Things to Do in Akumal - Turtles in Akumal After some beach time and the Mayan ruins in Cancun, Rob suggests heading south. One of his favorite destinations is Akumal. One of the most famous things to do here is swim with the turtle in Akumal, and that's what Rob recommends here. He has been several times and has always seen turtles in Akumal. In fact, he talked about the last time he was there he "only" saw eight turtles in Akumal. At other times, he saw nearly twice that many. Akumal is his favorite place for snorkeling in Mexico. Swimming with turtles in Akumal is awesome, but another of the best things to do in Akumal is to visit Cenote Yal Ku. Only a short drive from Akumal, Cenote Yal Ku is both freshwater and saltwater, as the cenote opens up into a lagoon. That means you get sea life like parrot fish and angelfish in what is usually a freshwater swimming spot. Yucatan Cenotes Rob said that Cenote Yal Ku was one of his favorite cenotes in the Yucatan, but what are Yucatan cenotes? I certainly didn't know about Yucatan cenotes before we visited Mexico. A cenote is a freshwater sinkhole, part of a vast underground water system that is unique to the Yucatan Peninsula. The water is fresh, clean and mostly underground. Some Yucatan cenotes are open to the sun, while others are in caves with little light from above. Rob talks about some of his favorite Yucatan cenotes — a crucial part of our road trip in Mexico That said, keep in mind that these Yucatan cenotes aren't free. Some of the most famous large Yucatan cenotes on the east coast of the peninsula cost USD $10 or more, per person. On the other hand, many Yucatan cenotes in the interior or west coast cost as little as a dollar. It's also worth remembering that no sunscreen or mosquito repellant is allowed in Yucatan cenotes. The chemicals can damage the fragile ecosystems there, so if you're prone to burns or bites, cover up. Mayan Ruins in Mexico If you want to see Mayan Ruins in Mexico, then you're headed to the Yucatan. It's a huge part of what makes the peninsula one of the best road trips in Mexico. In fact, one of the best things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula — with or without kids — is visiting the Mayan ruins. Rob started with the Mayan ruins in Cancun, surrounded by hotels and high-rises. But he didn't stop there. We talked about many others, including the Mayan ruins of Chichen Itza and Tulum. Rob's favorite, however, is the Coba Ruins, which are inland. Deep in the Yucatan jungle, the Coba Ruins in Mexico are massive and largely intact. And as Rob explains, travelers can still climb the pyramids here. Places like Chichen Itza no longer allow climbers, but places like Uxmal and the Coba Ruins in Mexico still allow you to reach the top. Rob talks about his experience in the podcast. More of the Best Things to Do in the Yucatan Peninsula These are only a few things we discuss in our hour-long conversation about things to do in the Yucatan Peninsula. Listen in and hear Rob talk about flamingos in Rio Logartos, Cathedrals in Valladolid, restaurants in Holbox and much, much more. Listen in and you'll understand why we think that one of the best road trips in Mexico starts at the Mayan ruins in Cancun and covers the Yucatan Peninsula. Have You Had a Yucatan Vacation?

Dr. Sinister Post-X-Day Radio Synaesthesia Show with Dr. Hal, StangDoe, Dave Live at WCSB 2017-7-9 We are at Stang Ranch and Tarzan's Radio Station is set up, but we're still unpacking everything ELSE and have to change our address on EVERYTHING. The new address for SubGenius Foundation is Box 807 Glen Rose Texas 76043.We saved a Radio Synaesthesia show that hasn't been on Hour of Slack for this week, recorded at WCSB on July 9 of the so-called 2017, right after X-Day Drill #20. Dr. Sinister kept Princess Wei, Rev. Stang, and Dr. Hal, in the station for an extra two hours, and Lonesome Cowboy Dave called in. This is the first hour. Stang credits Mayan Ruins, plugs Starwood, describes how it's mated with X-Day. Church of All Worlds and goat-unicorns. Why a goat? origin and result: Rev. Magdalen can't have SubGenius stuff in New York. New York state judges; Texas lawyers can sleep in court. Lonesome Cowboy Dave calls in. Sold 6 copies of Neighborworld. Dave's colon and convergent evolution. Dave tells tale of Sinister as stand-up comic. X-Day Drill and the awful new revelations. Hal's new song "TAKE UP THE SLACK"! New X-Day revelations. The movie people filmed Onan's new song and a whole bunch of other stuff - much filmed already. Obstructionists in the Church. Brought huge dog to X-Day Drill. Dammett and the cat who made him her little bitch. The mysteries of Wisteria - monsters, insects, spiders. The disgusting pond scum. Wisteria as a strip mine that was rehabilitated. The terrible derecho weather disaster of 4 X-Days ago -- no power in Ohio EXCEPT Wisteria. Horrible weather in Arizona. Fossil fish of Ohio. Monsters of Ohio. New caller "Nightwing" confused re: turtles. Wei's ageless newt. Stang's video "FIG - The Newt That Time Forgot" - microorganism movie "Micro Monsters" on revstang YouTube channel. Philo wants ads for Roku. The SubGenius video archives -- Stang's new chore. Hoping to film more SubG old-timers. Robert Crumb and the Church. SubG celebs. David Byrne and the Puzzling Evidence scene in True Stories. Goat Yoga on Stang Ranch. Dave was a refugee from Middle East. Goat meat restaurants. Goat-killin'and skinnin'. World might end tomorrow but probably go to Starwood instead. Dave on Trotsky and Lenin. Why "Bob" Dobbs stopped showing up at Devivals. When Dr. Sinister saw "Bob" get hit by a bus. "Bob's" both the mouth and anus of the Universe! Dr. Sinister breaks and does credits. Order Lonesome Cowboy Dave's novel NEIGHBOR WORLD and/or THE BOOK OF THE SUBGENUS (signed): http://www.subgenius.com/scatalog/books.htm
A fine short burst of madness from Dr. Cozmac is followed by a brand new Dr. Hal song! Then for about 15 the conversation from 20X-Day Drill between Dr. Hal and Rev. Mother Miller continues. (We're saving some of that for later.) The second half of the episode is the uncut recording of Rev. Stang preaching a somewhat impromptu sermon at Starwood 2017 in the Pufferdome, a huge inflatable dome with strange acoustic qualities. Mayan Ruins provided musical accompaniment and Waking Dream filled the dome with projections, but you can't see those on the radio. The Pufferdome rant was meant to be timely and also the tease for the longer Starwood Main Stage sermon the next day, which we will play next week before we get back to the dozens of hours recorded at 20X-Day with a cast of at least ten. This episode ends with a song about dogs by The Rainmakers, from a late 2016 live performance -- because part of Stang's Pufferdome rant includes the story of Dammett the hound dog's travails during Starwood and X-Day.
Recap the trip to the Mayan Ruins in Mexico. Do women's periods really sync? we talk about space as always.. Hot school teachers of Fundy.. other stuff, too, probably. I forget. you tell me.

Special guests this episode are Rev. Ivan Stang's two grandsons, Age 6 and Age 8 (the Sons of Sivet!), recorded at Tarzan's Radio Station, improvising a suspenseful radio play about a monster hunt in which the monster is "Bob" himself! Interspersed are seriously bulldadized "Old-Gulag" Lemur-style Classic Collages, by Lemur, and a historical dissertation by Stang about the cranks, crackpots, charlatans, psuedo-scientists and fellow cult leaders of Glen Rose, Texas (new alternate home of The SubGenius Foundation HQ). Background music by Mayan Ruins from "Sacred and Profane."
Come along with Craig Zabransky of StayAdventurous.com as he travels and explores Chiapas, Mexico's Frontier. In this episode we explore the lesser-known Mexican State of Chiapas and visit multiple Mayan Ruins stopping in Bonampak and Palenque; take adventures both in and on the water by rafting and jumping waterfalls at Rio Lancaja and then visiting the cascading waterfalls of Roberto Barrios; finally we also attend the ATMEX - Adventure Travel MEXico conference. Craig interviews the tour operator from EcoExperencias, a local guide before heading into Palenque and then a fellow adventurer, blogger and conference attendee - Runaway Juno. As always he leaves you with his top three travel tips to assist you when planning your off the beaten path adventure to Chiapas, Mexico. Plus, as with every episode, he highlights his Staying Adventurous Mindset Moment - your travel take away and souvenir from his time in the Chiapas. Craig, the host of Staying Adventurous, first learned about Chiapas ten years ago and it was on the top of his must see in Mexico list for a while. Now after his adventure he can confirm it exceeded expectations and plans to return to see a few more places mentioned in this podcast thanks to his interviews; Sumidero Canyon, San Cristobal de las Casas, and Yaxchilan.

The WCSB studio phones were broken this night -- and so was the whole studio! Yet we broadcast anyway. The first half of the show features one song each by the bands that will perform at the March 21 Winterstar Ball in Cleveland: Rev. Phat ManDee, Muruga Booker and the Cosmic Hoedown band, Steev Inglish, Brian Henke, Mayan Ruins and Sister Melodious Chops (the band Wei is in). (The Ball is a benefit for ACE/Starwood and the late Jeff Rosenbaum.) The second half is Stang reading rants by Phineas Narco and The Good Rev. Roger, and twenty solid minutes of uncut Puzzling Evidence Show with Dr. Philo Drummond and Dr. Hal, with a very interesting discussion of the ins and outs of managing a sperm bank. JEFF ROSENBAUM MEMORIAL by Rev. Ivan Stang
I guess it wasn't that horrible of a show after all. Driving home afterwards I (Stang) always remember them being horrible, especially this one, but, playing it back, I can't tell the difference anyway. Sacred or else funny songs are interspersed with live blabbertiyak at the WCSB Cleveland studio, our second favorite place to be when it's zero degrees below zero outside. Starts with collages by Dances With Rockets and Champion Jack Codini, and music by Mayan Ruins, Rev. Phineas Narco, Saint N and Helena Handbasket, The King, and Panting Antics. Somewhere in there is also a pretty gross (yet "clean"!) monolog by the great fat Harry White. Crop circles are discussed, as are the SubGenius Movie, the New Age vs. The Old Age, and some guy named "Bob." Music Video of Lonesome Cowboy Dave's song "THE PRESIDENT'S ON THE PHONE"
