Does the pope shit in the woods? or: 🎵 Are you Experienced? 🎵

OCT 21, 2025115 MIN

Description

we finally get the bottom-line scoop on Gretel’s crying jags, and answer the 2 burning questions of Western Culture and Civilization over a couple of hot pastrami on ciabatas

PART 1 [03:24]

In which we find a deep and abiding connection between The Stooges and mysticism, and ask the burning question of Western Culture and Civilization: Is it okay to wear socks with sandals?

PART 2 [21:49]

In which we figure out exactly why ayahuasca tourism is booming

PART 3 [39:59]

In which we start filling in Gretel’s backstory over a couple of hot pastrami sandwiches, and can’t help but notice that somebody is constantly mopping the floors

PART 4 [58:38]

In which we do some Provençal provenance proofing, make a gratuitous reference to Taxicab Confessions, and ask that other major question of Western Culture and Civilization: Does the pope shit in the woods?

PART 5 [1:16:42]

In which we learn that a mystic is a mystic is a mystic, and realize that a cynic is a cynic is a cynic

PART 6 [1:31:25]

In which we combine ciabata and cardiology in a zen koan and end up with the definitive definition of grace
