0:00.0	Radio Manu, Papa Tzango.
0:30.0	A.L. Coming to you from Topanga Canyon, California, once again.
0:38.1	First thing, update on Justin, not much good news. I'm afraid those of you who listen to the
0:45.2	last episode know what I'm talking about. Those of you who don't. Justin was a guest on the
0:50.4	podcast three, four times. I don't remember several. Justin Alexander, his name, he became a good friend.
0:58.5	He and I and Kisilda spent about a month together in Thailand this winter and then he went off to
1:05.0	Nepal and spent probably a month and a half, two months building a school in some remote village
1:16.4	in the mountains up there. You know, paid his own way, paid for tools, just completely selfless.
1:24.4	Wonderful guy, Bustin, his ass, sleeping in the dirt building this school for the village and then he
1:30.7	went to India and he was going to buy a royal and field motorcycle which he managed to do and he

2:29.1	He went off to live in a cave with this guy and the guy came back and Justin did and it's
2:37.4	become a very stressful situation. He was due back a month ago and the last update is that some
2:48.4	some hikers met him two or three days out from the town and he said he was headed back to town. He
2:54.4	was done with the cave and done with the yogi and done with all that shit. He was going to head down
2:59.7	pick up his stuff in the guest house, his backpack passport, all that stuff and then grab his
3:04.5	motorcycle and continue his trip through India and no one's seen him since then, at least no one
