Radio Manu, Papa Tzango.

Hey everybody, it's me again.

Yeah, this episode is going to be with Simon, who is a very interesting guy I met in Holland.

I met him online actually years ago because he owns a seed bank and I was growing some of his plants and we got into a conversation about the medicinal use of some of the plants that he had developed some of the strains of marijuana that he had developed.

And I was struck by his intelligence and I think he says, I think we talk about it in the conversation that there was a link to sex adon.

I think it was shortly after sex adon was published and there was a link at the bottom in my email signature and he clicked on that and then started asking me about the book and next time I was in Amsterdam we got together, you know, have a coffee or something.

And we really hit it off. So I was just back in Holland recently as you know, visiting Wim Hof and I dropped in on Simon as well on that visit and he invited me out to his place and got to hang out there in this beautiful, beautiful place he lives in where he's got birds of prey that he, what do you say, raises, I guess, and hunts with and he's, I mean, it's a beautiful, beautiful place.

It's just so green and full of life chickens and cats walking around the yard. There's an owl. He's got a big cage where he was breeding these little owls and there's a goat sitting under a tree and normally he's got the hawks out walking around on the lawn as well.

But because they're molting, he had them in their aviaries this time. Anyway, we talk about birds. We talk about weed and his experiences with the cultivation of marijuana.

And we also talk about something that I really didn't even know had happened, which is my favorite thing in this podcast when in the midst of the conversation we get into an area that I didn't even know was there to get into.

But it turns out it's a pretty big one in this case. A year and a half ago, Simon fell, I think he said about 30 feet from a ladder when he was trying to take down a tree that was leaning over one of his aviaries and landed on his back and broke nearly every bone in his torso.

And seemed he was going to die there for close to two weeks and then he made a miraculous recovery. So we talk about that experience, the recovery, some of his thoughts as to why he recovered so quickly and the way the medical establishment dealt with the evidence right in front of their faces or more accurately really didn't chose not to deal with it.

So that's a very interesting conversation and I'm glad you're here for it. Glad you're joining us. Tribe. That's what I think of you now. I think of you as a tribe like where this big tribe and every once in a while when we're sitting around the fire, somebody asked me to tell a story. That's my job. I'm the storyteller or the conversation holder or whatever it is.

But I'm very happy to be part of the tribe, very happy to be sitting around this table or this fire or whatever it is. We're sitting around with you.

News. I am about to leave Spain again. Another one of these fucking continental shifts is about to happen. I'm headed back to L.A. for the foreseeable future. Cassie is headed to southern Africa to pursue some of the most important things that I've ever seen.

I've seen some of some things that she's got to work out down there with family and and she's working on her memoirs as some of you who are long term listeners will remember and back in episode 100 we talked about how I'd been encouraging her to write a book about her years in Mozambique where she was working as a doctor in the in the field, a field doctor, I guess you call it.

She's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on a big business and she's been working on

Yeah, sort of partly personal stuff and a lot of it hopefully will work its way into her book. So we're all looking forward to that. If you're one of those people who writes to me regularly asking when the shrimp parade will return or if the shrimp parade will return, I hope it'll return soon because I'm returning to LA. And the main impediment to the continuation of the shrimp parade is that I just wasn't around.

and when I was around it was only for a few days and it was only for a few days and it very hard to schedule a meeting with Joe Rogan, Duncan Tremド, Jason Chall�, and Jason Chall�, and Jason Chall�, Howard Boone, 14 states 2, AoMand Miranda, Jedjam loans, placed in the

together. So if you don't know what the shrimp parade is, I guess you can Google it and you'll find it,

or you can just look on my site, Chris Ryan, PhD.com, and you'll see under podcasts, there's a

little thing to shrimp parade, which is just dunk and trussle Joe Rogan and me together
