| 0:00.0 | Hi, everybody. Welcome back to Second Alex Day. This is Joe Moore, joined by Kyle Buller. |
| 0:17.0 | How are you today, Kyle? Pretty good. Joe. How are you? Lovely. We have a dream team guest set today. |
| 0:24.6 | Both Stan and Brigitte Groff finally get Stan on. |
| 0:28.6 | Been on our list. |
| 0:29.6 | Yeah, right. |
| 0:30.6 | It's like Stan is a big part of the reason why we started this whole Psychedelics Today project, |
| 0:36.6 | and it's a little ridiculous we took this long. Maybe we were shy. Maybe, you know, we just wanted to make sure we did a good job. But I'm just really thankful we were able to pull it off. Yeah. Yeah. So, Kyle, can you miss a little bit of rundown of Stan's bio for those who don't know? |
| 0:57.3 | Because there are somehow people who don't know Stan's work yet. |
| 0:58.1 | Yeah. |
| 1:06.6 | So Stan has been a pioneer in LSD research, you know, really since the beginning, since the 50s and 60s. So pioneer in LSD research, when he came over to America, continued to do some psychedelic |
| 1:13.7 | research over here. |
| 1:15.3 | And then when the counterculture hit and the war on drugs started to happen, ban on, you |
| 1:20.8 | know, psychedelic research. |
| 1:22.9 | Stan found himself over at Eslin and then also developed whole-tropic breathwork with |
| 1:27.2 | his previous wife, Christina, Grop at the time. So yeah, as Joe mentioned, huge, huge influence |
| 1:33.1 | in our world. And it's just been a great honor to finally get him on the show. |
| 1:38.7 | Yeah. And thank you to Synergetic Press for helping us with this. They actually just released a book honoring Stan, written or |
| 1:47.3 | edited by Sean Kelly and Rick Tarnas, both quite influenced by Stan. Rick and Stan have a very |
| 1:53.1 | long-standing relationship. Kyle, do you have the book there? I do. Beautiful cover painted by |
| 1:58.2 | Stan Phoenix. Psyche Unbound. It's a collection of essays. You can listen to a whole podcast we did, or I did with Rick Tarnas and Sean Kelly, about this a few episodes back. So thank you to Synergetic Press. Thank you to Santa Bergeeta. I'm really excited about this episode. And I hope we can do more with both of them in the future and just continue to support |
| 2:18.9 | this Groff legacy. Kyle, I guess there was some news today. I don't know if it's public, but |
| 2:23.9 | it might not be. We now have some sort of. I probably shouldn't say it. Yeah. Well, we'll let you know |
