Mr. Thomas and myself meet Brick Savage. Remember this name. You've seen the footage of his one armed power slam. Now you'll hear his story. Listen while Thomas tries to entrap me and Brick meanly assists. Learn about Bomaye Fight Club. We also talk about horror movies like Weapons. 

Yes, PWI rankings are raised. Yes, there's a paranormal experience. And we introduce something called "crazy thing a family member has done". 

We welcome back on Joseph J. Alexander, a veteran of many hats in pro wrestling, He's also clergy of a religious organization and a student of many areas of the esoteric, arcane, historic and religious. He's on a prior episode under a Gospel of Thomas title if interested.

Today we talk about the numerous waves of Celtic mythology, as well as Celtic history and folklore. The overlaps to Norse and Germanic are addressed and acts as a natural bridge into the less known Slavic mythos. From there, we delve into the mysterious Romani or Strega mythos. 

Since I dabble (perhaps dangerously) in comparative mythology, we draw comparisons to better known figures from Greek, Egyptian and other pantheons.

We enjoyed a far ranging conversation in an efficient amount of time. An enormous value at any price.  

Dr. John Brandenburg is an astrophysicist who's worked for two Department of Energy Nuclear labs, and spent over a decade working with the military and intelligence departments in the United States. He's back in the forefront in researching anamolies about Mars and other matters regarding space.

We discuss Atlas 3i and it's predecessor, Mars itself, chemistry and physics, and aliens. Specifically, three races that are involved with Earth. 

Why does he think Atlas is technology and not natural? Why is he not frightened by this? Can I change his mind? Because I tried to.

David Pasti is a Maryland attorney who also happened to be a Major League Baseball Agent for a number of years. We discuss his story, his practice and the A to Z of becoming and being an Agent for one of the premier sports leagues in the world. 

Thomas & I welcome in our first reigning world champion, MLW Heavyweight champion Mads Atrosity Krule Krugger. The black hlove of Contra Unit. 

Sure we chit chat about wrestling and all his many names. We make sure to establish that he and Thomas hit each other very hard. We establish Krule is producing mini Krules to establish a Krule dynasty. We might have broken some news. A spoiler: CW Anderson isn't dead. That one is free. You have to listen for the rest. No, I did not ask about Baba Thunder.

We talk about food, protests, scratchy voices, Alien Earth, ghost stories and UFO's. 

Did I make a new friend? Maybe. I didn't not make a new friend. 

This show was to be about King Solomon and the ring and the demons. And it is. But we covered so much more that we may have to do a part two. Who was Solomon? When was Solomon? What led to Solomon?

Well, that takes us back to Adam and Eve. Our old friend, Lilith. A whole lot on The Satan. A touch of Cain. Some parts on Moses. A whole bunch on angels, Archangels, Fallen Angels (Nephilim). Bethsheba, Ben Yohada, The ring, other rings, mountains as prisons, underground lairs, and the Scarecrow. 

Oh yeah, some Temple construction aspects. A dash of numerology. A touch of magic. Plenty of Yeshiva Kabbalah. And discussion on letters and numbers. 

You really don't want to miss this episode. 

Ricky Reyes is a veteran of Ring of Honor among other promotions. In fact, he was CM Punk's roommate and assumed a lease for ole' Chick Magnet. Yes, we will discuss that. 

But most importantly to me, he was a henchman wrestler working for the very corrupt Dario Cueto, while also being an undercover cop infiltrating Dario's odios organization. 

We get a unique PJ story, We also discuss Ricky's career, what's he up to, and what he's about. 

Aaron Hynes is an explorer, researcher, former resident of Peru, tour guide, future resident of Peru, and the host of Breaking Ancient News. 

Aaron has a fascination with ancient civilizations and the unanswered gaps left by accepted archeology. While we spend most of our time discussing the Andean civilizations, we're not limited to that region. Hynes believes there was a root culture that harnessed certain technologies that have been lost to time. 

We discuss what the people of Peru told him they believe and what their histories tell. We visit some olf "friends" such as Vera Cocha and Uriel and Prometheus. 

We are joined by author and researcher Patrick Chouinard, who discusses his work on the Lost Giants of Atlantis. Let's get this out of the way: he doesn't believe in a physical place named Atlantis. He uses the common word as a placeholder for an advanced civilization lost to history. He also uses the word Aryan, but not in the corrupted way that's become the common use. Rather, the ancient use which simply traces the Iranic peoples from Asia, throughout Eurasia, the Near East, and beyond and very clearly the full spectrum of skin colors.

Patrick's book has an excellent summary of many myths and lore from around the world dealing with giants and persons of great impact (not necessarily of enormous height).

This is a nice companion to the prior episode which dealth primarily with the archeology. This episode deals primarily with the lore around beings. 

The Bayou Geek (singular), Maximus returns to discuss some light fare conspiracies. Mainly Mandela Effect items. Some I've heard and had. Some are new to me. This was mostly fun and games until I blasphemed. Repeatedly. Oh well. I'm a heretic. 

Was there a werwolf themed monster cereal? Would you rather be a werewolf or a vampire? Are aliens walking among us? And those silly bears.

It's in here. 

We're back. But it's not clear when. It's season 2 of Dark and we're untangling the triquenta knot over at least 5 time zones and parellel stories. Between the three of us, maybe we got it right. 

Liz Entin lost her father several years ago. That led her down a path of researching and exploration. And despite being dubious of the existence of any God, she does believe there is an afterlife. 

This show is our discussion,

Liz has written two books, with a third coming, both with the title WTF Just Happened as the top line title. She has a podcast of the same name. 

I was requested to weigh in on the show "Dark". The problem was, I hadn't watched it. The lesser problem was I didn't want to do a solo show on a three season show. So, one of the suggesters was recruited and he, in turn, recruited another. Thus, three Lynbrook, NY public school kids - now AARP members - reunited for the first time to review the German mystery box show "Dark",

Note: There are spoilers. Constantly. Like every aspect will be spoiled. We might not be right, but we are revealing everything as we understood the show.

This limited series is aiming to cover 1 season per podcast episode. 1 for 1 so far. This is season 1.

Your intrepid host is yours truly. And our guests are returning guest and artist, DIna Levy. Also known as the person called before me in attendance for like 10 years. Also, we are joined by loyal listener, musician. and semi retired smart guy, Joey Restivo. His credits include actually visiting me once in Baltimore. 

The outro music is courtesy of Pre War Yardsale.

The Red Line podcast's, Mike Hilliard, re-enters the Garden to discuss some oddities in certain borders. There are exclaves and enclaves throughout the world. Some have been with us so long, they confuse us as to their status as a State or otherwise. 

They often are points of contention, simmering or active conflicts, and a cause of wars. We go over some of the better known ones. But the fun part, is going over some of the lesser known ones. Although I suppose that depends where you are from.

We also review some of the political and military issues in situ.

And because Mike knows me so well, he knew we'd stumble into South America and by any pretense, I'd get him to discuss Venezuala. And did not disappoint.

Yes, we do talk about Raja Jackson, but only a little and mostly due to the recent developments. Mostly, we talk about fun stuff. Like how Aleister Black made Doug sad. Like what did Mr. Thomas do for his summer vacation. Like how Mr. T is getting some action cards. Like what do both guys like to eat and will they have an eating contest in Cali. 

Most importantly, what does The Epic and me have in common? 

You'll laugh. You'll cry, You'll enjoy the whole thing. 

My grade: F. Why? Because I failed to ask what day of wrestling school did he have to learn the Rikishi dance.

We welcome back in Prof. Jon F. White from Crecganford to discuss the historic mythological evoluation of dragons. When did dragons grow into Smog from basically an oversized winged lizard?

We trace the stories of the past and try to apply them to arenas we all recognize. How did serpents turn into dragons? But many of these serpents were enormous. Size of the primordial waters of the universe big. Encircling the world big. Making up all the bodies of water on Earth big. A beast that a hero and/or god needed to slay big. 

Is the snake is Eden related? Is my latest latest latest obsession - Ophiuchus - related? 

Jon entertains some of my notions. He dispells some others. And he sticks to the evidence that research supports. 

Wait...what about fire? We got that.

Bet you thought this episode was about pizza. Nope.

We welcome back Geophysicist, Dr. Jeffrey Zurek, to discuss a couple of issues on my mind. Both have very real geopolitical aspects. But we still tried to have fun.

Currently, the United States is engaging in a policy that can be described as "Fortress America". Basically, an economic plan of isolationalism. Part of this is "drill baby, drill". However, we can't drill our way into eliminating petroleum imports. Why? Geology and chemistry.  

The other item is what is a continent? Turns out there is international law on the subject. Nonetheless, there are activities and convenient geology and even archeogeology which could upend these accepted principles.

Tune in and learn and enjoy. I know I did both.

Folks, I rarely suggest you need to listen to a prior episode, but if you're not pretty familiar with Egyptian mythology, you should seek out the prior episode or two where our guest appeared. Who's the guest? The magician, Mogg Morgan of the Mandrake. 

It's been a while since we visited Egypt on the show. I've learned so much since then. I've forgotten more. And I've come up with more half baked theories.

But I did have some specific questions for Morgan. I may have even gotten some of those. Among them is why are Ammon and Ra one or two entities? Was Imhotep a person, people or god? Where does Thoth fit in? Did Egyptians acknowledge and "conquer" and/or assimilate gods of other civilizations? Why animal heads? Who were the Kushites and Nubians? 

We talk psycho pomps. We  talk Hathor. I might have gotten further away from understanding the journey of the dead, or not quite dead. Just how many administrative gods can a pantheon have? Turns out a lot. And next time we have Mogg, we get into the age of demigods and the Egyptian Nephilim. Maybe. 

Ruvimbo Samaga is an African lawyer with multiple degrees. She currently practices in Zimbabwe, her country of birth. She's achived many accolades and is a frequent speaker, consultant, alumnus of the Space Court Foundation's Lachs Moot Court competition, and has a start up related to space based technology to aid agriculture.

We discuss her journey and her understanding and involvement with African interests in space. In addition to Africa's approaches to creating space programs and influencing space policy and regulation on an international basis.

Of course I talk about Bond villains. Of course we talk about treaties and international law and some of my greatest hits. But we mostly focus on Samaga's insights and experience. And the Garden continues it's (unique?) podcast journey into exploring space interests and policies around the world.

Ikuro Kwon & I are joined by Joseph J. Alexander. Joseph has done a lot in wrestling, but it's his non wrestling activities and experiences that we focused on. Like ghost stories. Like being a totem for the dead. Like the haunting of Arena Mexico. The Warrens of "The Conjuring" fame make the show as well.

We also discuss paganism and certain mythologies, philosophies and esoterica. You don't want to miss this conversation.
