Starting point is 00:00:00 Cool Zone Media. We're back and I'm thinking about the time John Lovett's beat up Andy Dick. I was also thinking about that earlier today. Why? Yeah, because it's, it's what I'm like, it's just a good moment of American history, Molly. It's a, it's a time I'm, it's like the, it's like the landings at Normandy, right? It's one of those moments that just makes me and I'm proud to be an American.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Yeah. He had it coming, he had it coming. He had it coming, I think it happened multiple times. Oh my gosh. That was before Andy Dick got caught hanging out with those neo-Nazis. No, but that was after Andy Dick played a role in the death of one of the greatest voice actors of any generation
Starting point is 00:00:46 He did kill Phil Hartman. He did kind of help kill Phil Hartman. Yes, and this is relevant It's not relevant, but it's come up because I just saw a clip of that the Hassan the The guy with the very popular leftist streamer guy interviewing one of the pod save bros different John Lovitz. John Lovitz, who I had all this time in my head been assuming John Lovitz was on Pod Save America. And then like, that doesn't make any sense at all. Isn't he like conservative?
Starting point is 00:01:15 I don't know much about John Lovitz. Other than that he beat up Andy Dick, but absolutely not. It's some fucking- Not the same guy. Very unimpressive looking dude. We never talked about that, but 100% me too. Yes. Absolutely not. It's some fucking not the same guy very unimpressive. I don't know a hundred percent me, too Yes I wish John Lovett's was on that podcast now. I don't know any of his opinions
Starting point is 00:01:32 I assume most of them outside of his Andy dick opinions are bad But I just can't hear John Lovett's his voice and not think of the critic and that makes me happy I mean what better way to find out all of someone's awful opinions than putting them on a podcast Yeah, exactly exactly podcast on the last episode of this podcast. I brought the show listeners These weird knife yeah Robert shows your cool knife. It's my cool knife Robert got it for me for my birthday a few years back And the hope that you would find out how to use it How do you use that thing you can use it for I use it for primarily for like a like a cheese board or you could or for herb slicing. It's a rocking motion. Yeah, I didn't get any props. Should I have brought a prop to the part two? But yeah, stunning.
Starting point is 00:02:18 You should always you should always bring a prop. By the way, my my prop, this sword right here that I brought up in the last episode. That's nice. It's nice. It's actually a direct, a bladesmith that I know whose name I'll give you in a minute, read a new fantasy series. One of the books in it is called The Daughter's War. It's very good. You should check it out.
Starting point is 00:02:43 I read them both as well. And so when I saw he'd made a sword based on those books and it was very reasonably priced, I was like, oh shit, I got to get it. If you look to our blade maker, Randall Blademaker on Twitter, you can find his shit. He's very good. And again, opens a YouTube package like a son of a bitch. I also pruned a fig tree with this bad boy the other day. Pretty good time. Multi-purpose. Your fig tree is... It's a scary fig tree, it's massive, yeah. Giant.
Starting point is 00:03:12 Yeah. So, I guess we gotta get back to it, huh? Apparently. He was a Boy Scout leader, a husband, a father, but he was leading a double life. He was a monster hiding in plain sight. Journey inside the mind of one of history's most notorious killers, BTK, through the voices of the people who know him best.

Starting point is 00:04:35 I am confident that Julie Beckley is guilty. They've never found a weapon. Never made sense. Still doesn't make sense. She found out she was pregnant in jail. The person who did it is still out there. Listen to Murder on Songbird Road on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
Starting point is 00:04:55 Welcome to the Criminalia Podcast. I'm Maria Tremarchi. And I'm Holly Frey. Together we invite you into the dark and winding corridors of historical true crime. Each season we explore a new theme from poisoners to art thieves. We uncover the secrets of history's most interesting figures, from legal injustices to body snatching. And tune in at the end of each episode as we indulge in cocktails and mocktails inspired by each story.
Starting point is 00:05:23 Listen to Criminalia on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. During our, I guess we were gone for several days and or 10 minutes, I did discover that someone has made a LinkedIn page for Valiant Thor. I don't think he is still alive, but he does have a LinkedIn page that shows he still works at the Space Missile Defense Command. Oh, that's good. That's good. Okay.
Starting point is 00:05:49 What is he doing at this? Like what's the job title? Advisor to the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Uh-huh. Yep. Yeah. He's the Space Missile Defense Command is part of the army. So he advises the Joint Chiefs of Staff in that capacity.
Starting point is 00:05:59 Okay. Yeah. Valiant Thor sitting in. So Donald Trump is presumably having meetings with Valiant Thor at this point in time, right? He's at the table. He's at the table. That's comforting actually, you know? Cause he seems like he's got our best interests at heart.
Starting point is 00:06:12 Speaking of which, shall we get back into our book, Venetian Health Magic and Venetian Secret Science by Michael X. Barton. Just a beautiful tome. I love the rainbow. Gorgeous. It smells slightly of incense. I assume that's because wherever they print these books, a lot of people are burning a lot of incense.
Starting point is 00:06:32 All right, so we're ready to get back into our friend Michael X. Barton and his story, his experiences with Lanzara and Shalana, who have transcended their earthly bodies, but not the patriarchy, as we noted in the last episode molly. I'm ready to get healed. I'm ready to get healed.
Starting point is 00:06:49 You're ready to get healed? Well this is gonna tell you how. Reveal it to me. Yeah and the spoiler is it's just fruit. It's a shitload of fruit molly. Lansara. And so he's talking to, he reaches out after like having out after hanging out with his buddy. They go to bed. His friend is sick.
Starting point is 00:07:08 He's been just getting worse and worse over the last couple of years. And Michael convenes with Lanzara to ask him, how do I help my buddy Jim get better? And Lanzara, when he last communicated with me telepathically, had taught me many astounding facts regarding the wonderful health and amazing longevity of the people of Venus. To a true student of the occult or hidden side of life, none of the Venusian secret science is the least bit impractical or even fantastic. You and I know that all the higher teachings of life are far more practical and true than the mere human mind can realize at first.
Starting point is 00:07:42 In time, as the personal vibrations become raised into higher and still higher octaves of being, all limitations vanish and man's spirit controls matter. Those of you who have studied Venutian's secret science, in which I related my series of contacts with Lanzara, know that he gave me special suggestions to observe in regard to the New Age diet as well as other matters. By applying these suggestions and sticking to them until they become positive habits in my daily life, I discovered to my great droid that my health improved immensely. But that is not the only practical benefit.
Starting point is 00:08:12 My mental and spiritual faculties became much more keener and active than ever before." So he's doing well and he wakes up his friend Jim Lindy the next day and he's like, look, I got to tell you about some of this Venusian magic I know. I'm very excited. And Jim says, you talk as if you really know much more about the space people than you're letting on. Oh, he does. He does.
Starting point is 00:08:33 He absolutely does. So he's happy that Jim is open-minded to his suggestions. And he takes him to his apartment. We arrived at my apartment dwelling within 30 minutes from the time we left the airport. It is a large apartment, not new, but well constructed and designed for human comfort and convenience. The rooms are large and cheerfully decorated. My housekeeper, Lenore, occupies another apartment in the same vicinity.
Starting point is 00:08:59 She is a gentle and gracious soul, deeply interested in the advanced teachings of the Venusians. By putting their teachings into practice in her own life, Lenora succeeded in outwitting, to a great extent, the effects of father time. How is this Zillow ad helping me understand my Lifetrons? Unclear. She is very youthful looking. In her estimation, mere calendar years are of little importance.
Starting point is 00:09:23 The thing that matters most is biological age, as the flexibility or one's cells and arteries. By true standards, Lenore is indeed young." I'm really trying to get a grip on what his relationship with Lenore is, and it is very unclear. It's his housekeeper, but he seems to know a lot about her flexibility. Mm-hmm. And again, within the parlance of these essays, the fact that he's talking about like, she's old, but she doesn't look it much better than what you normally get. So I'm not going to harp too much on this stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:56 So yeah, Jim accepts the emotion to stay or the invitation to stay. They have dinner and it's just fruit salad. Jim has a great time because quote, a vital natural diet is Earthman's first step in preparing himself physically and spiritually to meet the space people. You can't talk to the Venusians otherwise. Is it possible that these guys just weren't getting enough fiber before and that's why they feel better right away? That's actually very likely. They were eating a 60s diet, which consisted of nothing but fried cheese.
Starting point is 00:10:30 Like Salisbury's steak and cigarettes. Like he hasn't shit in days. Yeah, that's his problem. Since Michael left in 1953, Jim has not taken a shit. Doctors can't figure it out. It hurts so bad. I just imagine this like conclave. There's like 30 doctors and lab coats, all chain
Starting point is 00:10:54 smoking, Paul Maul's. No idea what's wrong. What could it be? I don't know. Why don't we go get some seltzer? Are you sick? We broke Robert. What could it be I don't know why don't we go get some sauce I mean, I don't know if you guys heard the news, but cat turd has a bowel impaction So this is a very real problem facing America's men. So we're returning to tradition on this stuff? Oh, good times.
Starting point is 00:11:29 So sorry, I skipped ahead a little bit earlier. Now is where he bids Jim good night, saying that like, you know, tomorrow, tonight I'm going to talk to my Venusian master. And then we're going to we're going to start your health program. So I wonder, I know you're wondering, Molly, you know, the question everyone has, how do you get into contact with people from venus? Well, thank God Michael details in this book his regular procedure. First, he raises the vibratory rate of his psychic brain centers, the pituitary and pineal glands. Actually, I need to step before that one. That can't be step one.
Starting point is 00:12:02 That is step one. Are there some steps? That's the step one. Substep, he places psychic gyms, telolith, and lapis lingua directly over his pituitary and pineal glands, and he exerts mild pressure with his hands. He then visualizes a beam of white light shining from the center of his forehead towards Venus.
Starting point is 00:12:23 On this beam of light, I sent out my call to Master Lanzara and patiently awaited his response to the message. So he's pressing a crystal. Two crystals, Molly, two crystals. One crystal is not going to do it. If you've just got one crystal, you're getting nowhere. Where's my pituitary gland? It's somewhere up in your head.
Starting point is 00:12:42 I imagine he's like pressing a crystal to the front and back of his head. Yeah, I think that's something like that because the pineal gland's like right here. If I'm remembering various paintings by Alex Gray about taking DMT. Right. And yeah, it would make sense if the other one was back here.
Starting point is 00:12:58 So he's got a crystal on either side of his head and he's thinking about a pillar of light and then he sends his message, you know? It's just like calling AT&T, Molly. Okay, this makes perfect sense to me. Go on. No, no one listening to this podcast has called AT&T in their entire lifespan. I don't know what to tell.
Starting point is 00:13:13 Anyway, a minute passed, two minutes. Then suddenly I felt the strange since the same strange sensation that invariably happens whenever a message is sent to me from the space people. I can only partially describe it by saying that it is a physical, mental, and spiritual feeling of at-one-ment with another living, thinking human being whose vibrations are extraordinarily harmonious. As his dynamic thoughts are conveyed one by one to my mind, I feel a sense of unusual peace, harmony, joyous stimulation, and timelessness. For a few precious moments, time ceases to be, and I am strongly aware only of his magnetic
Starting point is 00:13:45 presence, his consciousness, and the living truth of his vital message. Briefly, this is the feeling of attunement that came to me after I had sent out my call to Lanzara. With this feeling, there also came into my awareness the special musical tone in the key of D, with which Lanzara makes his presence known to me by telethought." Now, Molly, that's a capitalized word. Obviously. That's telegram but with your thoughts. Telethot. Although it is spelled like telegram but for like thoughts like the kids talk about,
Starting point is 00:14:14 THOT. Oh no. Yeah, makes me giggle a little bit every time I come across that bad boy. Yeah. Yeah, the number of words he's creating and capitalizing is... He has unique... The Venusians have a unique attitude towards capitalizing words. They've ascended from our grammatical system, Molly. Right, they've moved beyond it. They've graduated from it.
Starting point is 00:14:38 Yeah, yeah. They're much better than us in that way. And every other way. As his dynamic thoughts are conveyed one by one to my mind, I feel a sense of unusual peace, harmony, joyous stimulation and timelessness. Where does he feel that? That's unclear, Molly. Joyous stimulation could mean a lot of things and in this context, most of them aren't things
Starting point is 00:14:57 I want to think about Michael X doing. For a few precious moments, time ceases to be and I'm strongly aware only of his magnetic presence, his consciousness and the living truth of his vital message. Briefly, this is the feeling of attunement that came to me after I had sent out my call to Lanzara. With this feeling there also came into my awareness the special musical tone in the Key of D with which Lanzara makes his presence known to me by telethought. His masterful thoughts followed the musical tone.
Starting point is 00:15:22 Greetings, Michael X. Blessings of life, love, and ever increasing light to you and all our loved ones on planet Earth. Once again, it is our privilege and joy to serve our Earth brothers and sisters and assist them in their upward evolution. You, beloved brother, were right in reasoning that we know of the serious illness of your dear friend, Jim Lindy.
Starting point is 00:15:39 We have been aware of his plight for some time, but it was not until recently. I love the idea. Billions of humans. This is the 60s. Millions of people are being incinerated from the air in Vietnam. There is so much suffering in the world,
Starting point is 00:15:55 but these minutiae are like, oh yeah, Jim, of course. We can't stop talking about Jim Linney. Well, Jim's obviously special, right? Because he's seen the crash. And that wasn't a coincidence look This is the man who's come the longest amount of time without shitting and has been Life-tronic health spa this is we can't put back people back together when they get blown to shit by a c-130 But what we can do is help Jim Lindy to shit
Starting point is 00:16:24 Like it just give him a bowl of honeydew melon. Yeah, that is literally the prescription. As much melon as you can fit in your body. Wow. We have been aware of his plight for some time, but it was not until recently that we could act in his behalf without interfering with his own will. Fortunately, Jim Lindy is open-minded regarding us.
Starting point is 00:16:45 That is most important. We can and shall help him. We shall point out certain health secrets which should not be secrets at all, but common knowledge to earthlings. At the Lifetronic Healing Center on Venus, we give out these and other teachings freely so that all Venusians learn how to work with nature's upbuilding measures from infancy on." So there are native-born Venusians.
Starting point is 00:17:04 They're not all ascended, which means it exists because like our Venus does not grow melons, Molly, is not a good melon climate. I don't know if you spend a lot of time there. Cosmology here. So there have been both human beings from Earth who have ascended to Venus and become Venusians. Yes. But then there are also human beings on Earth who are reincarnated from native Venusians, or are they the reincarnations of humans
Starting point is 00:17:31 who ascended to Venus, became Venusian, and then reincarnated back into Earth? It does appear to go birth both ways, and I would guess it's a matter of, here's my guess, if I'm coming up with a cosmology. Because is it a punishment if you get born back on Earth? Venusians, we split off at some point, right? The ancient people who traveled into space, some of whom wound up in Venus, and they stayed
Starting point is 00:17:49 smart, whereas we developed daytime television, which really took us, did a number on us. So the Venutians who were smart and, you know, they still love us, they still care about us. And when a human being is like wise and enlightened enough, they're able to see and communicate with his soul and bring it to Venus. But their interactions with Venusians, humans who have ascended to Venus, make some of the nice Venusians
Starting point is 00:18:15 feel very empathetic towards earth. So they choose to die and be reincarnated on the earth to help us, and that's where Jesus comes from. I was gonna ask, I was actually gonna ask. If I'm selling this, that's how I'm selling this. No, because you said the X is to honor Christ and so usually guys that still believe in the existence of Jesus Christ,
Starting point is 00:18:34 but are also alien guys, they think Jesus was an alien. Well, that's exactly it. And in this, it's a little more complicated that the aliens are humans, but they didn't come from earth. So Jesus chose to leave Venus and incarnate on earth. Yes, that's my interpretation of this. I'm up to speed, I'm on board. You're up to speed, you're good?
Starting point is 00:18:51 Yeah. All right, let's continue. So yeah, they're gonna give him some secrets. In Jim Lindy's case, he must first intensify his desire to be well. Then he must himself send forth his desire directly to us, and we shall give him a sign of our recognition and illumine his inner consciousness, illuminate? He must himself send forth his desire directly to us and we shall give him a sign of our recognition
Starting point is 00:19:05 and illumine his inner consciousness, it illumine? I'm not sure if they were trying to say illuminate. I don't think illumine is a word. Illumin him. Illumin him. So if you look that one up please. His inner consciousness from time to time.
Starting point is 00:19:19 This we shall do by a series of all caps, dream contacts. How am I spelling this word? Okay. I-L-L-U-M-I-N-E. It is. by a series of all caps, dream contacts. How am I spelling this word? Okay, yes. I-L-L-U-M-I-N-E. It is, so it is. I-L-L-U-M-I-N-E. It can be a literary way of saying to brighten something, like illuminate,
Starting point is 00:19:33 but also it can be to spiritually or intellectually enlighten. You know what? I gotta give it to Michael X. I learned something today. Yeah, this is literature, Robert. We all learned something today. You know what? Why don't we meditate on that?
Starting point is 00:19:46 Get some rocks, stick them on one side of your head in another, push them in a little bit, think of a pillar of light and listen to these ads. Do you think the rare earth medals inside my iPhone count? Should I press that to my pinnacle? Yeah, stick a couple of phones to your head. It doesn't matter. Fuck it. He was a Boy Scout leader, a church deacon,
Starting point is 00:20:07 a husband, a father. He went to a local church. He was going to the grocery store with us. He was the guy next door. But he was leading a double life. He was certainly a peeping Tom, looking through the windows, looking at people, fantasizing about what he could do.
Starting point is 00:20:26 He then began entering the houses. He could get into the home, take something, and get out and not be caught. He felt very powerful. He was a monster, hiding in plain sight. Someone killed four members of a family. It just didn't happen here.

Starting point is 00:21:22 to the surface of Mars, to the dark corners of TikTok TikTok to ask and attempt to answer burning questions about technology. One of the kind of tricks for surviving Mars is to live there long enough so that people evolve into Martians. Like data is a very rough proxy for a complex reality.

Together, we invite you into the dark and winding corridors of historical true crime. Each season, we explore a new theme, everything from poisoners and pirates
Starting point is 00:22:58 to art thieves and snake oil products and those who made and sold them. We uncover the stories and secrets of some of history's most compelling criminal figures, including a man who built a submarine as a getaway vehicle. Yep, that's a fact. We also look at what kinds of societal forces were at play at the time of the crime, from legal injustices to the ethics of body snatching to see what, if
Starting point is 00:23:22 anything, might look different through today's perspective. And be sure to tune in at the end of each episode as we indulge in custom-made cocktails and mocktails inspired by the stories. There's one for every story we tell. Listen to Criminalia on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. We're back. Actually, Molly, I kind of think the iPhones might do better because obviously the life blood of whatever child harvested those rare earth minerals is built into your iPhone, so it's haunted. And the ghost is probably like, that's like bringing in a guy to tune your TV antenna. Again, another thing no one has done in fucking 35 years.
Starting point is 00:24:05 Um, uh, good stuff. So Jim Lenting. I'm illumined. Yeah, we have all been illumined on the word illumine. They're going to do this by a series of dream contacts, which will be made by us while Jim is sleeping soundly at night. He will at those times experience unusually vivid dreams,
Starting point is 00:24:23 each containing a vitally important message that's important for him to regain his health. You believe then, I said quickly, that Jim Lindy can be cured so he will once again be vigorous and healthy? There are no cures," replied Lanzara. Jim's present state of painful illness was created by himself through his own unwise action of eating nothing but Salisbury steak for 42 years. I do love the undercurrent of like, well, he can't get better until he actually wants to because he's sick because he doesn't want it bad enough. There's a degree to which they're kind of being reasonable because what they're literally saying is like, there's a line here, those who claim they can cure disease are charlatans. They're only fooling themselves and those homeous souls who turn to them and misguided trust and confidence. The simple
Starting point is 00:25:08 truth is, but then we get to this, the simple truth is humanity does not have to cure disease. All it needs to do is stop causing it, right? What you can do by only eating raw fruit, you know? I went through whiplash there. I was like, oh, maybe this isn't going to be set up. Nope. There we go. Okay. I feel like a lot of people who are selling you something dangerous will make a valid point about how everyone else who's doing that is pretty bad.
Starting point is 00:25:32 Uh-huh, uh-huh. But I'm not. I'm selling you the good lead vitamins. I'm selling you the good responsible life advice. So Jim's got to rebuild his health by reversing the pattern of disease and being healthy. And this is a super fast process if you do it right. Now normally it's very slow. The average person on earth, if they're sick, they have no control over the healing process.
Starting point is 00:25:55 You have to replace the Phaetans with the Lifetrons. Yes, yes. You must consider the natural time factor and allow for it. But and this is Lanzara again. Many thousands of years ago, reckoning according to your earth time, the greatest minds of Venus found that the time factor in nature could be so minimized and reduced that we were able to accomplish results in weeks where formerly years were required. Then we progressed to a point where we could do so much in only a few days as we used to
Starting point is 00:26:20 do in several weeks. Finally, our greatest breakthrough came when we discovered how to collapse time, all caps, within our own consciousness, so that the positive results were realized in mere seconds and minutes that previously took many hours and days to achieve. At the Lifetronic Healing Center on Venus, we had long studied the simple, marvelous laws
Starting point is 00:26:40 of the universe and the forces of nature. Knowing as we did that these natural laws are designed by the creator for the good of all life, we did not attempt to change the unchangeable. Instead, we did our best to learn those wonderful laws and attune ourselves with them. As we ourselves learned higher truths, we taught themselves to all the people and showed them how to apply simple methods that brought health and happiness into their lives. To study and apply all that we can discover of our creator's simple but wonderful principles
Starting point is 00:27:04 brings us all the greatest of joys Our delight is as your Psalm has it in the law of the Lord Okay, I I think this guy's fucking bullshitting us because he was like, oh we want to share these secrets with everyone They shouldn't even be secrets. We want to tell everyone but you knew Jim was sick You do even wait even holding out on our boy Jim, because he wasn't ready. Because he liked this steak a little too much. So you wanna share it with everybody or not? No, he had to come and eat a bowl of fruit. Lanzara is fucking gaslighting us.
Starting point is 00:27:33 What's left out of this recitation of events is that while Michael is communing with Lanzara, his friend Jim Wendy, who just ate his first fiber in like 20 years, fighting for his life. You know those hemorrhoids are hurting. That poor man. Oh man, nearly killed him. Our people, Lanzara continued, became aware that health is the physical body's normal
Starting point is 00:28:06 reaction to a normal environment. So I know you're wondering, how do you make your environment normal so you can cure all your illnesses, right? Very simple. Number one, vital air. Number two, vital sunlight. Number three, vital food. And number four, vital water.
Starting point is 00:28:23 That's all you need. See, there's four supreme essentials to human life, right? And these are all in vital forms or as most of us do, you can assume them in dead forms, right? What is vital air? That means the air is alive, Sophie. You need to positronically charge it with the crystals. Obviously, Sophie, keep up.
Starting point is 00:28:44 These are the four essentials, right? And if you have all of these, you can't get sick, right? But most people consume dead air, weak sunlight, dead food and dead water, right? I mow my air and charging my air. Oh yes, so we've got crystals. Gotta be live food. Gotta make sure your water's not dead.
Starting point is 00:29:05 Have you heard the conspiracy theory that they replaced the sun with a different, weaker sun? Yes, and I do believe it. So I think that's what the problem is, like we're not consuming vital sun. We're not getting nearly enough vital shit, right? It's like stupid fucked up sun. Yeah, the sun sucks.
Starting point is 00:29:23 Our water's super fucked up. I do, it is very funny to me that like, he has to be talking about like water that comes straight from like a stream and it's full of Giardia. Like it is alive. There are living things in that water. Water that's alive is not good for you. You don't want some.
Starting point is 00:29:40 Yeah, he does have, there's a whole rants in here about how mineral water is killing you because rocks are dead But the crystals are alive You know That is that is a contradiction in his cosmology that I don't think Michael X ever really grapples with If I ever get to Venus, I'm gonna be there fucking Socrates. They're gonna kill me for being so annoying They are going to poison you they're gonna make you drink venutian hemlock because you're like, I don't know guys
Starting point is 00:30:08 You have a lot of crystals around here. They seem pretty fucking dead to me Yeah, so what they're telling what they're what they're telling our boy Michael is that his friend Jim Lindy He's been breathing dead air instead of live, fresh, moving air, inactive air. It's like a stagnant pool of water. It contains almost no positive electricity. That's when dogs put their head out the window in the car. Dogs understand all of this, Molly. And that's why dogs drink water that is disgusting.
Starting point is 00:30:38 Because they know- They're looking for the most vital puddle water in the neighborhood. They need vital water. They can't, none of that dead water? I'm gonna drink from a toilet somebody left out in the field filled with water from the rain and moss. Oh, the best water has stuff wiggling in it. That's right, the docs love that shit.
Starting point is 00:31:00 Cannot get enough of it. Third. Grabbing all of my crystals that are near my desk is a surprising amount. Cannot get enough of it I'm pounding a dr. Pepper zero sugar, which feels very vital to me the bubbles the bubbles are alive I wonder I don't cook my cratum. Does that count? vital? Wait, my juice is alive. It's your juice I'm gonna guarantee you this guy was pro. Bucha. Yeah fucking vital right now, although he doesn't mention it Maybe kabocha hadn't made it really into like new age stuff in the 60s That might have been a little early the early 60s that might have been a little too early for it I just want to say
Starting point is 00:31:43 Yeah, it's it yeah. It's alive. It's alive. So how are we bringing vitality to our air? I don't really get a clear example other than like going outside, right? Like, this is- This is how we do it, Molly. Look, like honestly, like a lot of,
Starting point is 00:32:01 especially earlier new age stuff, if you do like half of the time, if you do what they're telling you to do, it's like fine. Cause half of what they're telling you to do is like, you need to go outside and get natural sunlight, which like, yeah, you do. That's like good for you. The thing that really hits, if you could do one thing
Starting point is 00:32:20 that would hit all four of these to cure you forever so you can become Venusian and get all the Lifetrons is, you know, like when you put a watermelon in a stream to cool off. Yes. So it's a sunny day. You're outside. It's windy. So the air is very vital. Cold, moving water, that melon in the water full of deer shit. You definitely get Giardia from eating it and you live for fucking ever.
Starting point is 00:32:43 That's right. You get those chronic wasting disease prions and your fucking watermelon. You're never gonna die. You only eat melon and you have giardia. You will shit yourself inside out. Prions are very vital. They can't be killed. They can't be killed.
Starting point is 00:32:58 I'm gonna put out a book called The Prion Driven Life and just try to see how many of like the new QAnon people I can get to just consume chronic wasting disease meat. Look, the government wants to tell you that preons are bad for you, but the more of this stuff you get in your body, if preons can't die, and you only eat meat with preons in it,
Starting point is 00:33:24 you'll never die. Probably, yeah, there basically was. Because there was that British mad cow pandemic around the same time. It spooked a lot of people. Anyway. Sorry, I keep bringing up diarrhea. So, look, if there's one thing this book is going to cause, it's diarrhea. Like, you are going up to a bunch of very clogged up fifties guys and saying, what if you only ate raw fruit?
Starting point is 00:33:51 Massive quantities of it, as much as you can fit in your body. These guys did damage to the septic system in Los Angeles. That was a big part of why the fires got so bad. Oh, Robert. This is actually very serious. We need to find out if Jim's okay. So this is their biggest advice
Starting point is 00:34:20 because Jim needs to get live food in his body. Live. Vital food in his body. Vital. Like the vast majority of humans on planet Earth, Jim Lindy has relied upon cooked food to energize his body. This is a serious error, for it is impossible to get something vital out of something dead. You're cooking electrons out.
Starting point is 00:34:36 Cooked and processed- That's right. As they say, cooked and processed food is nine-tenths dead for the life energy, life-tronic energy that was originally in the food has been forced out of it into the atmosphere by the vibratory action of the fire. If one knows that it costs- Well he does make the molecules move around faster, right?
Starting point is 00:34:55 And that makes me wonder, so if I sit by a cooking fire and just breathe in, am I okay? And he kind of says yes, cause he's like, there are certain techniques that you can get more life energy out of the air so you could be okay on cooked food. But if you want-
Starting point is 00:35:08 If the Lifetrons are like coming off it like a steam, why don't you just huff it? Huff the steam. Apparently that does work to a degree, but as Lanzara notes, no true adept or master on any planet eats cooked food, for it is contrary to natural law and always has a destructive effect.
Starting point is 00:35:24 Always. Always. Yeah. Oh, we get to the water here. Jim has drunk freely from the ordinary reservoir water and of water from mineral springs of this earth. Although this water contains a certain amount of electronic energy derived through contract with sun and air, it also contains quantities
Starting point is 00:35:41 of inorganic minerals. These minerals are too low in course and vibration to be used by the human body. He does kind of explain why it doesn't work like crystals. So yeah, they just get deposited in your nerves where it's bad for you. So they're anti-fluoride for sure. These guys definitely would not be happy to hear fluoride being in our water. However, I realized that Lifetronic or get that live organic water is obtained by simply eating fresh, juicy fruits. Don't eat, don't drink water. Get a camelback full of raw fruit. That's all you need to get you through the bush. The wettest fruits.
Starting point is 00:36:18 The wettest of the fruits. Nothing but that. So yeah, that's what keeps you alive, right? That's what's gonna help you live forever. So folks, if you take nothing from this, eat nothing but raw fruit and you will never die and become God, or at least Venetian. I did eat like 10 clementines earlier, so I think I'm pretty fucking vital today. You know, when you came on this, I was like, well, Molly looks like she has been powered by Venus. Like, you look like you can never get sick again. You know, as long as you-
Starting point is 00:36:51 I definitely don't look like I stayed up all night reading old Hungarian newspapers, no. No, nothing goes with an old Hungarian newspaper like a Clementine, I'm always saying that. I've said that once, but it's true. You know what else is true, Molly? That all atoms are made of Lifetrons, which descend from the Thought-trons.
Starting point is 00:37:10 This is very funny. I actually grabbed a couple of my crystals that I keep nearby for just such occasions in between the last couple of sentences that I read. We cut this out, but I focused on a pillar of light as I pressed in on my head. And Lanzara actually came down and was like, hey man, how's it going on? And I was like, I'm doing good.
Starting point is 00:37:29 I'm trying to figure out how can I deliver to my audience the maximum value and joy that they need in these difficult times in order to overcome the dark energy that's constantly assailing all of us. And he was like, I don't know, bro, maybe tell him to get off Twitter. But then he said, listen to these ads. He was a Boy Scout leader, a church deacon, a husband, a father. He went to a local church.
Starting point is 00:37:57 He was going to the grocery store with us. He was the guy next door. But he was leading a double life. He was certainly a peeping Tom, looking through the windows, looking at people, fantasizing about what he could do. He then began entering the houses. He could get into their home, take something, and get out and not be caught. He felt very powerful.
Starting point is 00:38:20 He was a monster, hiding in plain sight. Someone killed four members of a family. It just didn't happen here.

We're back. What do you think Lanzara looks like, Molly? Probably really sexy. You think he's hot? I was going to ask.
Starting point is 00:41:41 I was like, no, that's not a responsible thing to ask a colleague, do you think he's hot? But I was wanting to ask, do you think he's hot? Because I think he to ask. I was like, no, that's not a responsible thing to ask a colleague, do you think he's hot? But I was wanting to ask, do you think he's hot? Because I think he's hot. That fake photo of young Stalin. Oh yeah, yeah. Well, I just feel like this is the kind of cult where like health is beauty, beauty is health, right?
Starting point is 00:41:57 I feel like that's very much sort of baked into the vibe here. So like, if, what is his name? Lanzara, if Lanzara is not sexy, like I'm not taking fruit advice from him No, you know what I bet I bet I bet everyone on Venus looks like those hot Nazis from the the Star Trek planet Where oh where they tried to kill Wesley? Yeah, where you can't break the rules. Yeah Yeah, no, that's I that's my favorite planet because they tried to get rid of Wesley, which we should do Anyway, that's outside of the point.
Starting point is 00:42:26 I do agree, Molly, like a big unstated part of this is that like as silly as all of this sounds, I would do every piece of this if someone who was sufficiently sexy told me to. Like if Lee Pace is like, oh no, my old secret, nothing but raw fruit. I'm going to a raw fruit diet, you know? What you're describing is what has happened
Starting point is 00:42:44 to millions of young women on Instagram I know I know I know Lee pace has tremendous power right now And it really says something about how good a person he is that he just posts videos of himself learning how to build a house With his bare hands. I don't know who or what Lee pace is. I'm just talking about getting bad bad health advice from a sexy person. Oh Man, no Lee pace has nothing but good advice, which is largely, marry a dude and go live in the woods, building a farmhouse. Also be in several very good movies and TV shows.
Starting point is 00:43:14 Anyway. I've Googled Lee Pace and it's not helping. He doesn't look familiar to me at all. Oh, you've never seen The Fall? Oh, Molly, you gotta see The Fall. The TV show with Gillian Anderson? No, very different thing. It's a movie. It's great. He's also in Foundation, which is The TV show with Gillian Anderson? No, very different thing. It's a movie.
Starting point is 00:43:25 It's great. He's also in foundation, which is a TV show. Also great. All men look the same to me. I'm so sorry. Oh, not Lee Pace. Not once you really get a good Lee Pace thing in there. I'll send you some Lee Pace photos.
Starting point is 00:43:39 I started typing Lee Pace and Google asked me if I meant Lenny Reef install. So like, just these are bad. You do not want Lenny reef install. They're bad on my computer, I can't. No, no, no, we can't, I can't, I can't let this be. I can't let this be. Keep reading to us.
Starting point is 00:43:54 No, no, we're doing a leap pace. Look, we're doing a leap pace. I gotta bring you guys a good leap pace. All right, all right, this is a good leap pace shot. Okay, one shot okay one sec one sec I'm doing a control and a plus control yeah you learned something today uh-huh maybe in a hack and a fraud Roberts just what I've just been clipping shit in the earthen view for years all right look at that look at
Starting point is 00:44:23 that man we had a piece of man look at that. Look at that man. Look at that piece of man. Look at that shirt he's wearing. Who are these outfits? What is this from? This is foundation. It's a great show. Look at him. Look at him in that shirt.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Oh. Okay. Yeah, I'll watch that for sure. That's right. You're goddamn right. Not offended. Anyway. All right, let's vibrate. Three Rivers to Cross, part three.
Starting point is 00:44:47 Jim Lindy wakes up the morning after. The best shit of his life. Fighting demons on that throne. He harpooned the Dark Lord. What the fuck? Oh my god. Oh my god. So he's had a dream. As Lanzara told our narrator Michael, he's had a dream.
Starting point is 00:45:18 In this dream, a message was conveyed to him. He had three rivers to cross. It's a metaphor. And he crossed all these rivers. He was, you know, felt weak, but then he managed to find the strength and did it. I'm not gonna read this guy's whole dream to you. I made one promise when I started podcasting too.
Starting point is 00:45:34 One was I won't sell baldness cures. And the other was that I won't read anybody's dream extensively. And I have kept those promises, you know, just to not be like Alex Jones. That's the only promises that I will keep. But yeah, so he has this dream and it convinces him that, like, and at the end of it,
Starting point is 00:45:54 every cell of his body radiates health and he sees the grim reaper flee from him in fear. So he knows like- Because he's unkillable now. He's too life-tronic. He's got so much fiber in his diet. He's just in a life tronic mech suit and the Grim Reaper cannot touch him.
Starting point is 00:46:11 That's what the fiber does is it builds like an Iron Man suit around you of like what used to be bananas and melons. Eagerly he rushed to, it is really, it is very obvious at this point how deeply this affected Steve Jobs. Like he truly believed Lanzara was going to save him from fucking pancreatic cancer. Eagerly he rushed to it is really it is very obvious at this point how deeply this affected Steve jobs Like he truly believed Lanzara was going to save him from fucking pancreatic cancer. That's so troubling
Starting point is 00:46:32 Prostate whichever would kill them One of the pee cancer Yeah, it was pancreatic. He's what got my mom Eagerly he rushed to a mirror to see if by some magic means the wonderful dream had come true. So real the experience had been to Jim, it seemed that surely it must have happened. But as he gazed into the mirror, he saw at once that no magic had taken place, at least any that was evident immediately to the eyes. His body was still sickly looking, prematurely old and lacking in vital strength.
Starting point is 00:47:00 An unusually vibrant sparkle, however, shone strongly in his blue eyes, as if he had contacted living forces that could quite easily, if they so willed, transform him into the happy, healthy individual he longed to be. This briefly was the first inspiring dream contact as Jim related it to Roe while we walked." So he's had a, he's had a, or I think Roe was supposed to be me. Someone did a find replace in this manuscript that fucked it up a little bit. So they have a dinner which consists of fresh, delicious organic fruits sliced into generous bowl topped with sunflower seeds, almond nut cream, and a sprig of mint leaf.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Refreshing. Yeah. Everything is uncooked. You can tell immediately when foods have been submitted to fire. And after breakfast, Jim has to write some letters while our author retires to his den. And then he describes his library, which is very exciting to me. I went to my library room to catch up on some serious reading. My library is somewhat unique in that it contains several thousand books, chiefly of an occult
Starting point is 00:48:00 or mystical nature. My collection of flying saucer. You're not special. In 1960, he might've been. I desperately wanna see, cause this is like, I gotta think, if he's got thousands of books about like space flight, interplanetary books, flying saucer shit in 1960.
Starting point is 00:48:18 He has every single one. And most of this shit like is gone forever now. Like a lot of this did not get digitized. This man's library was a treasure trove of lost media that I would kill to get my hands on. We'd be set for years, Molly. We could do this twice a week. Think of the content.
Starting point is 00:48:37 Think of how much content we'd get. Ah, if only. If you know where fucking Michael X's library went. Where was this estate sale? I will fight and kill to get my hands on it. So he starts looking through his library to find something that's subject of health that he can recommend to Jim.
Starting point is 00:48:57 And he's disappointed. I think this is his explanation for why he had to write these books. Because the book he needed didn't exist. That's why he had to write it. That's right. And every self-help book has that piece in the why I had to write these books. Because the book he needed didn't exist, that's why he had to write it. That's right. And every self-help book has that piece in the why I had to write it thing. And then while he's reading, and don't you hate it, Molly, we all have this experience,
Starting point is 00:49:14 you're deep in some research, you're in the stacks, as it were, and you get a call, you know, your phone starts buzzing. And you're like, that never happens to me. Mine doesn't ring. Yeah, mine doesn't ring either, actually. You simply can't exist that way anymore, but his phone is not ringing He is getting called by telephot communication, which is there like a do not stir for that We like that does happen to me you turn your telephot back on you like oh shit
Starting point is 00:49:38 I missed a lot of calls from the fucking arborist who's supposed to come and cut that tree down fuck me fuck me I Had one thing to do today Do you think the Venusians can leave voicemails? from the fucking arborist who's supposed to come and cut that tree down. Fuck me, fuck me. I had one thing to do today. Do you think the Venusians can leave voicemails? You know, I- Maybe that's what the dreams are. Cause I was gonna ask, what's the difference between dream communication
Starting point is 00:49:54 and telethought? It just went easier. Maybe the dreams are the voicemails. That's like hell. You just go to sleep and it's like, hey, so Lanzara here. Sorry, I'm in traffic right now. Hey, hey, come on, speed up, man. It's the fucking highway
Starting point is 00:50:06 Sorry. Anyway, I just want to let you know You're positing universe in which even our ascended masters get stuck in traffic that yes because I I Can only imagine and I get the feeling Michael imagines that Venus is just like Los Angeles in the stars Everyone's eating at Erawan is just like Los Angeles and the stars. It's just LA. It's just LA. It's just LA. Everyone's eating at Erawan. Yeah, it's fucking Whole Foods as far as the eye can goddamn see.
Starting point is 00:50:34 So he gets a call from Lanzara and he's like, hey, good news. You know, your buddy, we sent him a dream. The first river he crossed represents the basic primary need to cleanse the mind of negative thoughts, false tradition or race thinking. Uh-oh. What? What?
Starting point is 00:50:52 Uh-oh. The what? And the error, he just moves right past it. And the error of reasoning from false or wrong premises. As long as Jim Lindy clings to the useless mental habit of worshiping all caps, false gods, he will remain confused and sick. False gods are those ideas, beliefs, and practices based upon human ignorance, willful deceit, or mystifying complexity. They invariably, all caps, block the constructive healing power of the natural, all caps, life forces.
Starting point is 00:51:20 This is why most methods of healing human ills on your planet are so ineffective. Many of them are ridiculous. Some are actually destructive. Why? Because they ignore the divine intelligence or God power within the individual and interfere with its natural activity, which is always working towards good. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:39 I mean, what's there to even say about that? I mean, what if that's, I mean, the first river seems like it covers a lot of territory. What are the second two rivers? The first river covers, yeah, that's a real Ganges kind of situation there. So yeah, he goes on, all these rivers are basically the same thing, which is you've got to cleanse yourself of different things that are bad. Well, the first river cleans the mind. The second river cleanses the colon. The second river is emotional or desi- The colon got cleansed immediately, Molly.
Starting point is 00:52:07 Oh shit. Now the second river is emotional or desire nature. The third river signifies the great need to cleanse all the cells of the physical body, as well as the atoms of which those cells are composed. Sounds exhausting. About once every three years, I managed to clean the baseboards in my house
Starting point is 00:52:24 and I always feel like a fucking god. So I can't imagine if you got around to cleaning your atoms, you'd feel great. I think that would really help. If the atoms are gunked up, like the Lifetrons can't. They're not gonna move around. Yeah, throw her out. The Lifetrons will stagnate, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:40 No, when I'm vacuuming the baseboards. That makes it sound like it's like a Lifetron reuptake inhibitor, which actually seems like it could be good if you don't let the Lifetrons leave, then maybe like they stay in you, like an SSRI. Yeah, you need to re-stimulate the Lifetron receptors. But then if you eat too much fruit, which I think is like the Lifetron equivalent of MDMA,
Starting point is 00:52:58 you get Lifetron syndrome? Yeah. I'm vibrating at a too high, not you can't, not on the keyboard. I'm just imagining kids at the club eating fruit, like passing out, they have to get like fruit in our can, which I guess is just a steak. Oh my God. You're just like rubbing a steak on their face. Like I'm vibrating at such a high frequency.
Starting point is 00:53:19 Yeah, you keep like some McDonald's fries in a breakaway glass thing in order to bring them down if they get too high up into space. There's a guy in a booth watching the surveillance camera and if you disappear from the footage, you know your vibrational frequency is too high. You're too high, you're too high. Hit him with the beef tallow. Yeah, they're coming in there with a fucking sloppy Joe.
Starting point is 00:53:45 The sprinklers just start dropping. Like in Blade, except it's in a blood, it's just warm tallow. The second before you said that, I thought of Blade Molly. Speaking of vibrations, you and I are clearly, we're clearly riding a similar wave right now. Oh, fuck.
Starting point is 00:54:06 Anyway, we'll move away from Jim's boring dream and to the prescription that Lanzara actually gives Michael while he's just trying to read a goddamn book. And it's that- Well, the answers weren't in the fucking book. It's a cleansing fast, Molly. It's a cleansing fast. So day one-
Starting point is 00:54:23 But how are you gonna get any Lifetrons that way? Well, that's kind of the thing. The first you've got to get out the bad stuff that's blocking the Lifetrons. All you get on day one, distilled water with a little bit of lemon or orange juice in it. One percent juice and 99% water. Distilled water is the most dead water you can get.
Starting point is 00:54:37 It's the deadest water. Well, not according to this guy. I don't know, Molly, do you know any guys from Venus? I'm just saying, if we're talking about vital forces, distilled water is dead. Go to a guy. I don't know, Molly, do you know any guys from Venus? I'm just saying, if we're talking about like vital forces, distilled water is dead. They're in LA, this book wouldn't have gotten written if they tried drinking from the LA River. That is just a solid mass of Giardia.
Starting point is 00:55:00 It's too vital. It's too vital, they would have vibrated too hard. The LA River is in fact too alive. It's too vital. They would have vibrated too hard. The L.A. River is in fact too alive. Oh man. Okay, so we're- It's so funny. L.A. has a river and it's just concrete. The whole riverbed, everything's concrete.
Starting point is 00:55:15 What? Yeah. No, there was a river going through L.A. and we just kind of made it all concrete. If you watched Terminator 2, the great chase scene where Terminator's on the motorcycle, that's the Los Angeles River. They're driving on the riverbed. There's some water, not a lot usually.
Starting point is 00:55:35 Where did they put the river? They didn't put it anywhere. Everyone just moved to Southern California and bought cars and nature took its course. So we've got this cleansing fast. Day three, finally, is when you actually start to eat again and you get all you can eat of one fruit, right? Fruit of your choice, like dealer's choice?
Starting point is 00:55:55 A fruit of your choice, yes, including tomatoes. He reminds us those are a fruit. What fruit are you picking? I wanna say cherries, but I know that we lost a precedent that way. You can only eat so many of those. I think probably mangoes, cause I feel like that's gonna actually,
Starting point is 00:56:12 or mangoes are pears, they're gonna like at least do the most to make me not miserable, right? That's feel like they have the most body to them. Mangoes are really good choice. Honestly though, I tend to be a savory guy, so I think I might just be craving a tomato by that fucking point.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Yeah. This is before all these guys were scared at nightshades. I can eat a whole watermelon. For sure. Watermelon, pineapple. I can destroy, oh, I gotta tell you, you know what, we're gonna close out on this, but I gotta tell you my watermelon story.
Starting point is 00:56:39 So the other day or other year, my buddy's hanging out. He's from Berlin. He's back in the States and he's the kind of guy, he's the guy who I, my buddy's hanging out. He's from Berlin. He's back in the States and he's the kind of guy, he's the guy who I had my muscle eating contest with. And every time one of us hears about a new weird eating thing thing, we do it together. And the thing I read about was someone being like, hey, if you ever freeze a watermelon,
Starting point is 00:56:57 then get naked in the shower and just start eating it, like literally shove it into your face. Like get really hot outside on a summer day, like doing yard work, heavy outdoor labor to where you're like exhausted. You've been out for hours. You're like sweaty and sunburned. Then grab a half of a frozen watermelon,
Starting point is 00:57:13 walk into the shower and shove it into your face as you turn on the water. It's an ecstatic experience. And it actually does rule. Definitely try that out folks. Eat a watermelon after coming in from the heat, a frozen watermelon in the shower, it rules. Just with your face, washing the juices off.
Starting point is 00:57:33 It's a great thing. Eating fruit should not have this many steps. This sounds like some Venusian bullshit. Honestly, did this come to you in a dream? I ascended, Molly. Did this come to you in a dream? The Venusians called me when I was trying to read a book and they told me to do this.
Starting point is 00:57:49 And so my buddy Lenny and I did it and we both agreed pretty good time. Together or separately? Separately. There's not enough room. There's not enough room to eat. It's the way that the second you started to talk about this I was like, it's fucking Lenny.
Starting point is 00:58:01 There's no way. We had a good time. Anyway, try that. Try that, folks. Okay. Is that the episode? That's the episode. Oh, is it?
Starting point is 00:58:13 This is fine. This is good enough. Did we learn it? Did we learn it? I don't know that we're returning to this particular book of Venusian health magic. But if people like this, there's some more old alien shit we can get to.
Starting point is 00:58:24 Can we see Carol Baskin one more time? The cover. Yeah. The cover, can you hold the cover? magic. But if people like this, there's some more old alien shit we can get to. Can we see Carole Baskin one more time? The cover. Yeah. The cover. Can you hold the cover? It's so beautiful. Yeah, the cover. I mean, I always worry about our listeners not seeing this, but like, yeah, it's just like, it's clearly a crayon drawing of a spacecraft shooting rainbows at a woman with long golden hair and flowers in her hair It's not a it does look like a child's illustration. It looks like the cover of a coloring book
Starting point is 00:58:53 It looks like the color of a color. It looks like a Lisa Frank original coloring book. Yes. Oh Man I will I learned a lot about how to heal myself with vibrations and fruit. Are you gonna do it? I'm probably gonna go eat some clementines because thereby I'm in a big bag from Costco so if I don't eat them 15 at a time, they go bad
Starting point is 00:59:17 and then I feel bad so I make myself feel bad by eating too many fruits instead. How's those fucking clementines? Look, until next time. Now here's my question. What about, cause I do kind of wonder if raw meat guys are descended from this where they're like, well he's right about cooking stuff
Starting point is 00:59:34 but it doesn't have to be fruit. You know? There's a lot of bacteria on raw meat. Why not? It's very vital. Yeah, especially if you're as obsessed with game as these guys are, there's a lot of parasites in there too.
Starting point is 00:59:46 It's extremely alive. I mean, I do like a raw meat, but under a very specific circumstance. Yeah, nice sushi. Oh, I don't eat fish. I'm afraid of the ocean. I'm talking about steak tartare. Oh, steak tartare can be pretty good.
Starting point is 01:00:00 I love it tartare. Well, Molly, where can people find you and your work? The steak tartare of writing about weird little guys. Wow, true, just raw, raw and uncut.
