What do you know everybody? It's the holiday season and just popped up on your internet feed is a free chunk of the daoist lecture series.

How kind of you? What could you possibly be thinking?

Because I'm a crazy man.

No, the couple of things.

One, because I particularly enjoy it,

and apparently quite a few people do as well.

Two because he was the first 100 or so people who downloaded, downloaded this file was somewhat damage in the sense that he goes through almost the entire thing and then at the very end there's a minute of silence before the audio picks up again so there was a

little technical problem there but it has been fixed now so you guys can even those of

you guys who have already ordered that I was Dowes Lecture Series can replace the previous

file for this particular episode with this current one and at this point all files should be good.

So yeah this is one of I believe if I remember correctly 16 and this is one of them it's a way for you

guys to get a feel for it if you just like this and that's it great if you want to check

out the rest they are up for sale on the website and

we'll include a link in the episode notes. All in all is about seven hours worth of material,

a little over seven hours, divided in 16 chapters, and you're getting a free beer.

Specifically you're getting a chapter entitled rather poetically,

Dow is the shit.

Before we get rolling on that we want to give a quick shout out to our new friend the shit. They're a company that have a whole slew of awesome products that our audience might appreciate.

One is something they call the Fog Pen, which is a personal vaporizer disguised as a luxury pen,

and it certainly is cool. And you know, as with anything like this this I'm sure it's only for use with legal

purposes in your area and they also have a really cool new thing called the

stash tray so stash trade dot com that's pretty incredible piece of engineering right there that you might be interested in is a holiday season so we figured we throw a shout out to them for being so kind to us and you also check it
