Summary

Seeking a show about goats spitting on Spanish men, psychedelic gnosis and Theodore Roosevelt? Then congratulations my friend, you've finally found your grail! To everyone else rereading that combination of topics because they seem so utterly disparate, they couldn't possibly be related: No, the forceps of destiny didn't get drunk on the job and start plopping subject matter into reality with zero care, I promise. This conversation is actually quite coherent. To whom do we owe that coherence? Professor, author and podcaster extraordinaire Daniele Bolelli! He hosts both The Drunken Taoist (a conversation-based show, not dissimilar to this one) as well as History on Fire which dives down a different historical rabbit hole with each episode. I highly encourage you go give both of his shows a spin. Daniele is also the author of some stellar literary works like Create Your own Religion and his latest, Not Afraid For more head to thirdeyedrops.com Learn more about your ad choices.

0:00.0	Third eye drops are intended for open-minded adults.
0:04.0	Now administering the Third-third-eye drops. There's got to be at least one of you out there.
0:15.0	There's got to be at least one of you out there specifically searching for a
0:27.6	show about goats spitting at Spanish men, psychedelicodelicnosis, and Theodore Roosevelt.
0:35.0	There just has to be.
0:37.6	And for you, my friend, congratulations,
0:41.3	you have located the grail of legend in podcast form.
0:47.6	For everyone else, this probably sounds like
0:50.1	the four steps of destiny got drunk on the job and just started popping random subject matter into reality with zero care.
0:59.0	But I assure you, it is not that random.
1:01.5	It is a quite coherent conversation and if you are
1:06.4	skeptical of that I don't blame you. If it were just me that would make total
1:11.2	sense but we have got a highly seasoned cast master veteran here as our guest, the great Danielleie Ballelli, and for both he and I, this cast just happened to take place right in the meaty middle of last
1:28.7	week's sandwich of sleep deprivation and unavoidable obligatory onslots of projects and work and all of these things.
1:40.0	So we both entered into this thing in sort of a tense head space. It's kind of a miracle
1:47.8	that we actually did it at all. But in this odd instance that tired, noisy, anxious, borderline short,
1:58.4	tempered state of mind turn out to be the perfect catalyst for a really
2:02.2	incredible conversation.
2:04.7	And it actually had sort of a therapeutic effect, at least for me it did, because by the end of this thing,
2:10.2	my mood had for sure done a total 180 but I guess that's natural when you
2:15.6	close out a conversation by having someone with a thick Italian accent
2:20.4	recite an impassioned piece of poetry to you that is sure to be a Nobel Prize winning piece of literature.
