It won't stop, 0:01:11.640 --> 0:01:13.919 and it's like, bro, you gotta stop. 0:01:14.240 --> 0:01:18.800 But as someone who's been in flow state before, like 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.039 you see it when you're like yep, that's how if 0:01:21.040 --> 0:01:23.120 you're like that, like when you just can't miss so 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:24.600 you're just going crazy. 0:01:24.920 --> 0:01:26.000 It was cooking too hard. 0:01:26.120 --> 0:01:28.520 Yeah, I've done it, cause you probably had sets like 0:01:28.560 --> 0:01:30.800 that where you're like, oh, I could say anything and 0:01:30.840 --> 0:01:33.280 it's gonna work. Yeah, I'm going nuts, you know. 0:01:33.440 --> 0:01:37.960 No, there there are times, and it's the reason I 0:01:38.040 --> 0:01:42.280 despise the crowd work clips that that our art form 0:01:42.319 --> 0:01:44.600 has sort of evolved into. But there are times when 0:01:44.640 --> 0:01:48.400 you're like engaging with an audience in such a funny, 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:53.840 sincere way that it it goes on for like minutes, 0:01:54.120 --> 0:01:55.000 like kind. 0:01:54.880 --> 0:01:57.520 Of where you're like, oh shit, that riff was fifteen minutes. 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:02.840 Yeah, it's just a long ass time. And that's not cutable, 0:02:03.080 --> 0:02:04.560 you know what I mean. Like, that's not a thing 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.080 that you can chop up and make into like a 0:02:07.200 --> 0:02:09.079 thing you offer up to an audience. 0:02:09.440 --> 0:02:11.679 Oh yeah, that's why you don't ever trust a five 0:02:11.760 --> 0:02:15.600 second crowd work clip. It's not real. Yeah, there was funny. 0:02:17.280 --> 0:02:20.240 They had a big laugh and then it stopped really fast. 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:22.360 Yeah yeah, I didn't know how to keep going. 0:02:22.720 --> 0:02:26.520 Yeah. Yeah, it was like somebody said one interesting thing. Anyways, 0:02:26.520 --> 0:02:29.640 we're not here to talk about because they're not. 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:34.640 Well, it's stinks and the art that I love has 0:02:34.800 --> 0:02:38.519 uh has become something that I barely recognize. But that's 0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:43.040 not the point of this podcast, this podcast, especially today, 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.880 we are we're talking to you the listener we're reading 0:02:45.880 --> 0:02:50.320 your emails, we're engaging with your thoughts, your suggestions. And 0:02:50.360 --> 0:02:53.080 we got an email from a person named Aliyah l 0:02:53.160 --> 0:02:57.280 I y a h just like the singer got personality, 0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:03.840 mentality a man. Anyways, I miss her too, she was great. 0:03:04.000 --> 0:03:04.839 We all miss her. 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:12.079 Nothing nothing I wish they had Anyways. I just sometimes 0:03:12.080 --> 0:03:13.680 I feel like somebody needed to take care of that 0:03:14.200 --> 0:03:17.760 little girl, like you know, yeah, she was bounched around 0:03:18.080 --> 0:03:20.000 to a lot of men. It feels like dark. 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:24.560 Yeah. No, I think that's one hundred percent true of 0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:28.600 a person who who maybe needed somebody just to look 0:03:28.639 --> 0:03:30.919 out for in a way that that she never really 0:03:30.919 --> 0:03:32.119 got by the end of it. 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:34.520 So you want to read an email. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:42.120 No, let's just have a moment of silence. I was 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:43.960 just stood in that feeling for a second. 0:03:48.880 --> 0:03:50.480 It was two seconds too later. 0:03:50.640 --> 0:03:53.680 Sorry, that's okay. We got an email from a person 0:03:53.800 --> 0:03:57.880 named Aliah who sent us as subject line Satan's Yoga. 0:03:57.960 --> 0:04:01.240 Satan's Yoga. She says, Hi, David than length and longtime 0:04:01.280 --> 0:04:05.320 listener back again with another conspiracy. This one actually comes 0:04:05.320 --> 0:04:08.760 from my grandmother, a Southern black woman who later in 0:04:08.800 --> 0:04:12.760 life became a Jehovah's witness. One day later in life. 0:04:12.800 --> 0:04:14.560 She started that shit later in life. 0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:17.520 That makes more sense in starting it earlier in life, Like, 0:04:17.800 --> 0:04:20.640 you can't convert to Jehovah's witness in like your mid twenties. 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:24.839 I don't picture early in life being your mid twenty conversions. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.240 I picture early in your life, meaning you grew up 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:28.039 in the Jehovah. 0:04:28.160 --> 0:04:30.120 Oh but she converted, she said. 0:04:30.400 --> 0:04:33.520 Right, And I'm saying that converting to Jehovah's witness is 0:04:33.560 --> 0:04:34.520 a silly thing. 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:36.719 You've already had some birthdays. 0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:41.400 Yeah, you know what Christmas feels like? Yeah, you go, fuck, 0:04:41.440 --> 0:04:43.200 are you shifting back. 0:04:42.960 --> 0:04:45.800 For taking that away from your children? You monster? 0:04:46.160 --> 0:04:46.360 Yeah? 0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:49.760 No, that's that's an odd fucking choice. So you want 0:04:49.800 --> 0:04:51.760 to go door to door? Okay? 0:04:52.680 --> 0:04:57.320 Anyways, those shit? Your grandma's a sweet woman, Earliah or nuts. 0:04:57.400 --> 0:05:02.000 I don't know hard to say the but I'm I'm 0:05:02.080 --> 0:05:03.240 leaning towards the ladder. 0:05:03.760 --> 0:05:07.000 One man's cuckoo is another man's cocoa puffs. 0:05:08.839 --> 0:05:12.039 One day, after watching a commercial about yoga clothes, she 0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.320 went on a rant about how doing yoga is evil 0:05:15.480 --> 0:05:18.320 and if you meditate, you will mess around and open 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.600 up your mind so much you will let satan in 0:05:22.240 --> 0:05:25.600 I understood her to mean meditating can be a pathway 0:05:25.640 --> 0:05:28.680 to connect with Satan. Similarly, how praying is a way 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.720 to connect with God. I grew up going to church 0:05:31.800 --> 0:05:35.360 as well as the Kingdom Hall, so I am conflicted. 0:05:35.680 --> 0:05:38.919 I believe in spirits and have an ancestor alter myself. 0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.440 So just as there is a way to channel the 0:05:41.480 --> 0:05:43.559 good spirits, there has to be a way to channel 0:05:43.600 --> 0:05:46.400 the bad ones. I'm interested in hearing what you guys 0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:47.080 think best. 0:05:47.240 --> 0:05:56.680 Aliah, well, Alia, I think you're a witch, and I 0:05:56.839 --> 0:06:01.320 rebuked thee in the name of the One Lord. No 0:06:01.640 --> 0:06:08.599 I think that. So here's what I don't like about this, right, Yeah, 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:12.360 the idea of like, if you meditate or you do yoga, 0:06:12.720 --> 0:06:16.000 you're gonna open your mind so much. So that's what 0:06:16.560 --> 0:06:18.520 like I don't like. It's like, I don't like the 0:06:18.560 --> 0:06:21.120 idea that an open mind is what leads to the devil. 0:06:21.360 --> 0:06:24.000 That means God wants you to have a closed mind. 0:06:24.360 --> 0:06:27.360 That means he's like reductive as fuck and does not 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:30.520 want you to open you up to whatever your true 0:06:30.560 --> 0:06:33.880 potential is. He doesn't want you to be free, And 0:06:33.920 --> 0:06:36.240 that's not like the God. If that that's not like 0:06:36.279 --> 0:06:36.560 a god. 0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.200 I'm trying to say, right, a god that encourages you 0:06:41.360 --> 0:06:43.240 to sort of live in a bubble is not a 0:06:43.240 --> 0:06:46.320 god that you you recognize. 0:06:46.400 --> 0:06:49.680 Well, just like, yeah, any type of like don't open 0:06:49.720 --> 0:06:53.000 your mind is a great Like really think about what 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:57.160 you're saying within that. That's like, that's terrible. That's the 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:00.599 nobody Okay, nobody ever leave your small town. Do't never 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.200 try to do something that no one in your family did, Like, 0:07:04.279 --> 0:07:07.159 don't ever push for anything. Then you know what I'm saying, 0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:11.400 don't open your mind. That's fucking that's like, that's that's trash. 0:07:12.640 --> 0:07:15.080 I don't think that God is like that. I don't 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.160 think the God of Abraham, I don't. I don't know 0:07:17.200 --> 0:07:18.520 if that is what he's pushing. 0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.960 I will say that that I myself read this to 0:07:23.120 --> 0:07:27.160 mean something slightly different, although I do agree with your 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.160 sentiment that that if this is about just sort of 0:07:30.240 --> 0:07:34.680 keeping people closed minded, then that feels reductive and not 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:39.360 at all like a progress or even a love that 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:42.720 is suggested to be shared by the God above us. 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:48.520 Whatever that said, I thought about my relationship with like spirits, 0:07:49.000 --> 0:07:51.680 and in a lot of ways this tracts for me 0:07:51.800 --> 0:07:54.560 of like I don't fuck around with Ouiji boards, I 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:58.880 don't fuck around with like haunted houses, like genuine haunted houses. 0:07:58.920 --> 0:08:01.160 I'll go to a place one whatever. 0:08:01.160 --> 0:08:04.200 But what what do you mean by that?

That like if you go seeking that shit, 0:10:10.840 --> 0:10:14.000 you will find something. Even if that's something you find, 0:10:14.040 --> 0:10:16.880 it's just made up in your own head. And so 0:10:18.000 --> 0:10:21.920 in that way, I recognize what she's saying to simply 0:10:22.000 --> 0:10:25.040 mean like, seek it and you shall find it in 0:10:25.440 --> 0:10:29.439 both good and bad ways.

Yep, this is having lived. 0:10:40.320 --> 0:10:42.120 I've lived among the woos. You know what I mean. 0:10:42.160 --> 0:10:46.800 I lived in San Francisco, Big Witch Country, Los Angeles. 0:10:46.840 --> 0:10:50.160 Also Big Witch Country. If you're far away and you 0:10:50.200 --> 0:10:54.400 don't quite know, I understand how these yoga ladies and 0:10:54.600 --> 0:10:57.760 men could seem like they were into some evil shit. 0:10:58.480 --> 0:11:00.840 Oh you know what I mean, just like glancing and 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.040 being like, what are they doing over here? They're dressed 0:11:03.080 --> 0:11:07.120 all wacky, they're burning sage and shit like it could 0:11:07.160 --> 0:11:09.560 feel like some witchcraft for sure. Yeah. 0:11:09.600 --> 0:11:12.559 I will say that that to that point with dog 0:11:12.920 --> 0:11:16.360 that that ain't doggy style. 0:11:16.440 --> 0:11:18.720 I know you that when I come from dogs stand up. 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:23.680 Right, they shake your hand like like a man. 0:11:24.040 --> 0:11:24.520 If you and I. 0:11:27.000 --> 0:11:30.400 Will say that to that point, A lot of what 0:11:30.679 --> 0:11:34.600 yoga is in America is just a sort of like 0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:39.320 cherry picking of other people's cultural identities and like their 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:43.640 actual spirituality. And so in that way it does feel 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:48.200 like sort of a false manipulation of spirituality, right that, 0:11:48.400 --> 0:11:52.080 Like the ship that we recognize as yoga is not 0:11:52.400 --> 0:11:56.880 what they were doing when Indians invented the ship, you 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:58.640 know what I mean, It's just some some shit that 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.920 like some white women took and then like decided to 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:05.640 take some words and leave some words behind in certain poses, yes, 0:12:05.800 --> 0:12:06.640 certain ones. 0:12:06.760 --> 0:12:06.840 Know. 0:12:07.360 --> 0:12:10.400 I think that that is not not sort of like 0:12:10.520 --> 0:12:14.559 fucking around with spirituality in a in a messed up way. 0:12:14.840 --> 0:12:16.840 I think it does lead to this whole idea of 0:12:16.880 --> 0:12:18.560 like that's why I don't like people when they say 0:12:18.559 --> 0:12:23.000 they're just I'm spiritual, because it's like pick a discipline, Yeah, 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:25.880 you know what, you gotta commit commit to something you're 0:12:25.960 --> 0:12:29.120 loosey goosey, then you might as well just be agnostic, 0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:31.640 Like what does that mean? I think this could be 0:12:31.720 --> 0:12:34.120 true and that you need rules. There needs to be 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.720 some sort of rules. It is. 0:12:36.840 --> 0:12:40.040 It is the one part of the Bible more than 0:12:40.120 --> 0:12:43.320 any other part that I think I most connect with 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.920 where it talks about God not wanting you to be lukewarm. 0:12:47.040 --> 0:12:51.040 That like, a lukewarm person is maybe the worst person 0:12:51.120 --> 0:12:53.480 you could be. That you got to be hot or cold. 0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:56.840 Either believe in something or don't believe in something, but 0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:59.560 like kind of fucking around in the middle is like 0:12:59.720 --> 0:13:05.920 dang terous and frankly just condescending to the fundamentals of 0:13:06.000 --> 0:13:07.160 the actual belief. 0:13:07.400 --> 0:13:10.960 Don't stand for anything for something, Yeah, don't stand for something. 0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:16.680 Yeah, you didn't get it right for me twice.
