Every year we do a wrap-up show covering the biggest moments in conspiracy pop culture, movies and more, as well as some personal highs and lows.

And today's episode, we're going to do a journey through 2025, and I'll let you in on a massive shift in my personal life here today on a call symbolism in pop culture.

2025 was my 11th year of podcasting, the number of magic and manifestation, and what a magically manifesting year it was, today we're going to recap.

You know, this is one of the most popular shows that I do this format here, the wrap-up show.

We're going to recap some of the biggest moments in pop culture and conspiracy, some personal highs, lows, my favorite films, my least favorite films I watched, highly anticipated results of last year's predictions with some new predictions for 2026, plus I've got that personal big move in my personal life.

I'm going to involve you in because this one's extra special, so be sure to stick around for that, without further ado.

Let's get into it, right?

We all got food to eat, near as parties to go to, so let's get it moving here.

Now the, oh, and quick plug, quick plug, go to my YouTube.

I am posting all my free feed videos on the YouTube.

It's at a call symbolism.

I put the link in every single episode now, and subscribe.

I want to get to 100,000 by the end of 2026, and you're going to help me do it.

Okay, we're in this together.

I want you to help me out.

So go like and subscribe.

All right, and I'll be posting the video, the free feed versions video with ads on YouTube, the same time that the free feed audio version goes out.

I know it's been, I've been going back fourth on that for years, but I think that's how we're going to do it.

Okay, all right, now, first topic, our favorite most engaging episodes of the year.

This is from my subjective perspective.

And in the year 2025, I published 78 shows.

That's more than one a week, which is pretty intense for one man army, such as myself.

And I tried doing some live shows this year, and I know something is like this.

Something is, we're bitching.

I got more complaints than I did anything.

So I was like, all right, well, you guys don't want this.

So it's fine.

I'm not saying I'll never do another live show, but to do it to sort of cram it in once a month.

I'm like, hey, I got more complaints than anything.

So no live shows.

Now, as far as my favorite shows, the most engaging ones I've seen with comments, the most fun, the interview I do with Dr.

Jacques Valet was one of my favorites, because he's the godfather of UFOs and technology.

And he is one of those guys like Peter Levento that I believe understands all these points intersect, all right, between the occult between, you know, uofology misinformation between technology, because they're all three intertwined.

I also did a deep dive on the shining very long overdue.

I wrote about the shining in my first, no, first, my second or third book, Kubrick's Code.

And much to my surprise, I had never done a deep dive into it on the podcast.

So super long overdue was three episodes, almost four hours.

And it's also open on my YouTube.

If you want to watch it, of course, you know, YouTube makes me strip out all the clips, which is awful.

So if you want to watch the video with the clips and text tier two on the Patreon or VIP section, supporter feeds.

The conspiracy classics book clubs, I started doing conspiracy classics, format of shows, we did catcher in the rye, we did Jameshell Downards, King Kill 33, we did a 1984 book deep dive, which was very prophetic.

I thought to do that because of the dark and lineman series.

Then we did and a lot of people liked, liked all those, a lot of people like those mega deep knives on the staples of conspiracy.

And I'm going to continue to do that as I'm currently working on this MK Ultra one, total nightmare, by the way, it's there's so much information.

I actually went too heavy on the notes.

Now I'm trying to edit it down.

So I'm like, bro, I can't do more than four episodes on one topic.

It's just too many.

And people complain, they're like, oh my god, enough.

I get it.

But that's going to be the January, the month of January is going to be MK Ultra season.

Okay.

But it's the most important theory.

We reference it all the time.

We got to understand it myself included.

I'm on this journey with you.

Another project deep dive was Twin Peaks.

We finally finally finished the gray lodge.

We knocked out the pivotal parts of the series on our journey of 55 episodes, the Kenneth Grant reviews of UFO gateways going through the atomic bomb portals from the season three episode eight.

Twin Peaks, the return episode eight, I should say part eight, excuse me.

And in January of 25, I published the last 11 episodes, right?

I bagged them all on one day.

Then I had one final mega wrap up.

I think it was almost four hours long for the mega wrap up of all of Twin Peaks that I published just in time on February 23rd Twin Peaks day.

Profetically so wrapping up two years of research under this topic.

Then I also enjoyed the dark enlightenment series.

That one was very good.

I'm still continuing it.

Still working on the book.

Now the most I like to talk about the most drama.

Okay.

Which in the comments sections where you guys the most dramatic about.

Well, it would be the Twin Peaks and the dark enlightenment series by far.

A lot of people got tired of talking about Twin Peaks.

So I know you guys were happy when we wrapped it up in January.

And the dark enlightenment series was there was a lot.

I mean, let's go back in time to February March, February/March of 2025.

Everyone in the conspiracy community was so excited for Donald Trump to get back in office because I was going to drain the swamp and he's going to arrest the PDFs.

And I was talking about how like this isn't good.

This is a technocracy takeover.

They got bad things in mind for what to do with this country.

Now it remains to be seen how much of this is actually going to go down.

But I feel like it's a very prophetic series.

And a lot of people didn't like that.

I got a lot of flack from people.

And I would argue that fast for one year.

And I think everyone's going to be back on my back on my perspective of this whole thing, especially given all the crazy stuff we see in the Epstein files.

I'm just saying.

These guys aren't your heroes.

They're not your saviors.

They're not trying to help you.

They're trying to destroy you and cripple you and put you into the great reset and kneecap you so that you will owe nothing and be happy.

And that's what they're doing.

Now the most popular in the high is downloaded to end this section on a positive note, right?

And let me quickly back this up because I used to do these this little category and then I stopped doing it because the problem is when I look at the statistics, it, you know, the shows I did January, February, March of 25 have got more downloads, obviously than the ones I didn't, you know, October, November, December because it'd been more time for them to rack up views.

But I looked on Spotify, which has a fraction of where my downloads come from.

I would for the podcast nerds trying to get into the details of the business side.

For me, it's probably somewhere between 30 and 50% of my total downloads.

It's kind of hard to tell.

But I saw something a little different this year.

So I wanted to do the top 10 most popular downloaded episodes.

All right.

We'll start out with number 11.

I know.

So at number 11, because my man Ryan Springer, the Mormon occult secrets that we talked about a guest, a guest episode came in at number 11.

Number 10 was the shining part two.

Number nine was the Epstein files decoded when we talked about it's attorney and golden ages with the black cube cult, which by the way, I am after the MK Ultra D.

Dive and when I Dive into Saturn worship, that's also an intense amount of research.

Number eight, the dark enlightenment part two.

Number seven was the shining part one.

Number six was the Elon versus Trump Epstein files live show.

Number five was dark enlightenment four.

You can see a trend here, right?

Of what the most popular stuff was.

Number four was old Charlie K King kill 33.

The bonus episode.

Now the free feed got the preview, but that one got an intense amount of downloads.

Okay.

Then we have our top three of what you guys thought was the most popular.

Number three, the Peter Teal AI anti-crash show.

That's actually surprised me.

How many people were interested in this, but it fits into the dark enlightenment technology stuff.

And like I said, I'm going to work on that book after I complete Twin Peaks, the dark enlightenment book.

I'm sure nothing's going to change significantly between now and the end of 26.

But number two came in at dark enlightenment part one.

And then I had a very strange anomaly.

And this was specifically to Spotify.

I must have hit their algorithm or something.

Anyone is a Spotify nerd.

Please let me know why this happened.

But my number one downloaded at 10X, what number two was downloaded.

I mean, this was by far large an anomaly spike.

The heretic bonus show that we did.

That's right.

We did a show on the supporter feeds for the film heretic, which was a fascinating breakdown in the symbolism of the ODS, free masonry, ritual magic and so on.

This is around the time of the Ryan Springer show.

And to put a specific number on it, it was an absurd amount of downloads at 165,000 downloads.

And that's not typical by any means.

Like I said, that was, I think the number two was about 12,000.

And we're speaking solely on the Spotify.

If you add in all the streams together, I don't know what it was because it's the way they reported downloads kind of got funky in the last few years.

So it's kind of hard to tell anymore.

But the heretic bonus show for whatever reason blew up.

And then of course, you know, I've got these honorable mentions of recent shows that were popping pretty good, you know, like the 1947 shows I did with Jolt Thomas.

Not a very fair fight because I just just released on the on the feeds, but I got a lot of positive feedback.

A lot of people love Jolt Thomas when we link up.

And I don't want to tease you guys.

But in 26, we got another project that we're going to be working on.

All right, more to come on that.

Stay subscribed.

And check out Jolt Thomas's free to gravity.

The man does amazing impeccable research.

And I've learned a lot from this guy on as far as like research on the occult as well as the technical side of how to do things like he's this dude's very intelligent.

I look up to this guy.

Incredibly, he's amazing.

So that was the best shows, favorite shows.

According to me, and you now, we had a lot of guests with a lot of guests in 2025.

Big names, cool names, new names for some of me is we had, you know, Dr.

Jacques Valet, then we had Ryan Springer.

We had Ryder Lee.

We had JK Altra.

Some of these were like high dramas feedback, too, by the way.

You know, JK Altra, she's very kind of new AG and occulted dare I say was her perspective.

You know, she had the alien contact thing.

She's into a lot of those kind of new age practices.

And you know, some of you guys don't like that too much.

But some of you do.

So hey, I'm here for everybody.

The man Richard Syrit, the man with a golden voice from coast to coast, am I Richard Syrit on here?

It was amazing.

We shared our journeys of, you know, he's ortho Greek orthodox as well.

Seven C's also high drama episode.

He made a big splash on the scene these last couple of years with his research, which is very interesting.

We had Robert Frederick.

That's the guy I've been in contact with for years.

And he broke down the theories about Shakespeare.

Jessica Hunley again, kind of represented from that sort of new age occult granola realm, which I, you know, I like some of those things.

So I let you guys in on it, too.

I like to talk about these things.

Then we of course had the Joel Thomas 1947 swap cast series to, you know, much acclaim.

Everybody loved it.

So, which is surprising because when I have a guest on, I get, I want to say a fair amount, but I get complaints sometimes because a lot of people are like, man, this is just me and you, buddy.

We're just getting intimate.

And I understand that because I listen to some podcasts.

And they do kind of a similar pacing that I do where they randomly will have guests on.

And I don't like those episodes.

I'm like, no, I won't talk to you guys.

This is me and you, you know, then I had a lot of appearances.

I'm trying to amp up my appearances and we'll talk about why that is here soon.

And I'll go with the most recent one that I haven't plugged this yet.

I got to get on, you know, it's been holiday season.

I've been slacken.

I did the occult Disney show to talk about Zootopia and the satanic symbolism behind the movies.

Zootopia.

That's on, you know, paranoid American.

He does the occult Disney show.

And I've got, like I said before, if you go to my link tree, all my links.com/isacw2as4doubleawesome, you'll find a link to everything I always talk about.

One of those is my appearances and interviews that I make.

I have a growing index of every time I do an appearance because people wanted to see the list, you know, and I believe I've got all of them.

I believe I've got all them going back to the very beginning, back in my first interview ever, which was with a radio show out here in Salt Lake City.

I don't remember the name.

It's been that long.

You can find it all there.

Then I did in earlier in December, I did Kurt Metzger's show on YouTube, The Dirt with Kurp Show.

That was interesting.

That was something.

I don't know if you heard that one, but I did my best.

I tried to hang in there with them.

That was a huge show too, by the way.

And then I did my favorite appearances on the tinfoil hat.

We did tinfoil hat.

The King Kill 33 with Charlie K stuff.

We talked about that.

I did a show on the A Mind Body Mushroom podcast about acceleration and dark enlightenment with the man Jordan.

Be sure to check him out.

He's the guy from the Wind and Sea Coffee thing.

Also the roaster for my branded coffee mushroom and naughty water coffee.

I still got some bag left at occultsimilism.com.

Then I did another higher side chats with my man, Greg, Greg Carlwood.

Sorry, I haven't eaten anything this morning.

So my brain's a little funky.

My wires are crossed.

We talked about Diddy Travis Scott dark enlightenment.

Of course, you know, that's the trending stuff.

The dark enlightenment is a fascinating subject, which is why I'm doing the whole book on it.

And I'm going to put links to all this stuff in the show notes, by the way.

Now I'm going to put a link to my appearances and you can scroll through.

This is too many links.

I did here for the truth.

That was a fun show.

We had a video clip on the social media that went viral.

I forgot what we were talking about.

I was a Michael Jordan.

Anyway, reality's ours.

We got to do that show again.

Those guys are great.

Then we did, I had a link for a little show in history town called unexplained with William Shatner.

Your boy made it appearance.

I was on the little screen.

Can you believe that?

It was, you know, and that was when I spoke at the beginning of this episode about 11 being the number of magic as Alistair Crowley would say, not that I'm a magician by any stretch, but the ideas of manifestation.

I do believe in some of that stuff.

I do believe you can kind of pursue and manifest things.

And what's interesting is that I always, when I started blogging in 2011 and things started jumping off in 2012, I did have this fantasy about being on history channel, specifically on ancient aliens, which I'm still, like, trying to put that out in the, this sphere.

So it is kind of crazy that within, you know, whatever that is, 13 years, 14 years, I actually made it on TV on unexplained with William Shatner.

And if you're curious, link is going to be at that appearances and interviews.

It's also the season seven episode nine secret societies.

Okay.

But it published on June 20th.

A lot of people are asking where they can watch it.

You got to figure it out.

I, I, the post I have should take you to the history channel website where you can watch it.

I haven't seen it yet.

I don't have the courage to watch it yet.

Someday I will.

They're going to have it probably on, I think, like, who's probably there now.

And I think they also get it on Netflix this year.

Sometimes I would assume.

I don't know.

But anyways, you can check it out if you want to.

Don't tell me if I did bad.

That'll break my heart.

I'm assuming I did great.

I don't want to watch it and find out that I did something stupid.

Then I did close to, close to 8 am another like legendary status show, right?

And then I did Richard Sear.

It's strange planet.

Talking about darken lightmen and all this stuff.

Because a lot of people find this fascinating and intriguing.

Then I did tinful hot podcast again.

Again, darken lightmen acceleration that was, you know, now we're back in May.

I'm going back reverse.

And then reverse cow girl and on you guys.

Then I did the cosmos info show.

That was really fun.

We, I think he's French.

I'm sorry, cosmos.

I don't remember.

Anyway, it was the show.

It's on YouTube.

You can watch it.

Then I did raised by giants with, you know, writer Lee talking darken lightmen.

I did donut show, talking darken lightmen with a courty Turner, right?

Who's also I had her on my show.

As you know, another great researcher, of course.

Then I did Nephilim Death Squad.

Many people were asking for this back in March.

We linked up finally after all these times people asked for this to happen.

And we made it happen.

So big shows this year.

Thank you for everybody who bugged these hosts.

However, the word got out to have them reach out to me.

I appreciate it because those are those are big deals.

And you can get appearances on these big shows like that.

That's that's nothing to sneeze at.

Let's move into my favorite films.

That's right.

Favorite films.

Well, I had a lot.

I'll give you my number one favorite film of the year.

But there's a lot of good ones.

I mean, I have subjective and questionable taste in films.

Some people get it.

Some people maybe not.

And that's okay.

There's the list of the ones I liked, which I recommend.

Of course, because I liked them.

We watched Anora.

I loved them.

We also, that was great.

A nice, nice little interesting story, you know, pretty horny.

Loved it.

Baby girl again, same description.

Insert here with Nicole Gidman.

That was something.

Don't watch it.

If you don't watch it with people who don't want to see no freaky stuff, all right.

No, it's for ought to love Robert Eggers.

No, it's for ought to.

It was great.

Much better than the original.

The original sucks.

Some of them so boring.

Under the silver leg.

I finally watched that.

I've been I keep putting on my polls for my Patreon.

People like, Hey, do you want this for your bonus show this month?

And it keeps losing.

But I'm going to do it.

It's going to happen.

I've got all the notes and screenshots and everything.

I just got to like tweak the notes and kind of come up with a theory and so on.

Which by the way, if you saw the recent Epstein photos, there was that photo of the dentist chair with all the faces on the wall.

Well, guess what you see in under the silver leg.

You see all these these masks on the wall of golden age celebrities.

Is it connected?

I think so.

Documentaries.

Peewee's documentary came out.

I was always a huge Peewee Herman fan.

So I loved that.

Debo.

There's a Debo documentary.

I wasn't some huge Debo fan.

I just watched it because it looked interesting.

And now I'm a Debo fan like these guys kick ass.

Love it.

You got because they're very anti establishment, which I, you know, I like that.

I like that.

I like that punk rock vibe.

Nine and a half weeks.

I watched that for the first time.

Loved it.

Thought it was great.

Again, apply this same warning of baby girl on the Nora to nine and a half weeks.

Don't watch this if there's some people in the room that aren't into some freaky stuff.

Watched fraternity vacation from 1985.

Cause you know, Josie, she's kind of like cool movies from the 80s that I never seen.

She's like a swatched fraternity vacation.

And I find it very enjoyable.

I love me some 80s cheeseball.

The, oh, the Charlie Sheen documentary on Netflix was great.

Believe it or not, I watched return of the living dead for the first time, which I know that's kind of weird because I'm such a horror junkie.

But it was the first time I seen it.

And I absolutely loved it.

I was like, this is great.

And I typically hate any kind of humor mixed into horror movies.

I hate it.

Hate it so much.

It's my least excuse me, least favorite thing on the planet.

And that one was great.

Love it.

Netflix had this series monster.

And Geen, a lot of people hated it.

I loved it.

I'm here for all those series.

Are they sensationalized?

Are they a little, you know, disrespectful to the victims?

Sure.

I don't know what to say.

The heart wants what it wants.

I thought it was interesting.

It didn't make me think like, oh, yeah, it gains a great guy.

Maybe we should have more people like him.

It made me think if this is true, which I don't know if it was.

If this version of events is true, it kind of makes sense.

It's like, well, sometimes these people are victims of things and that screws their brain up and then they become serial killers.

All right.

I watched Apocalypse Now for the, you know, I've watched it many times, but man, that's good.

It never gets old.

It's such a good movie.

I saw the Frankenstein movie on Netflix.

Love that.

Leo's new movie won battle after another loved that necessary watch for your conspiracy theorist.

By the way, that he Murphy documentary on Netflix was great.

I saw Megalopolis speaking of Apocalypse Now.

So Megalopolis thought that was very interesting.

Will I do a show about that?

Probably.

Probably.

I got to do a little more research.

There's a documentary about the making of Megalopolis that I want to watch first.

It is very coated with Roman mythology and stuff.

So, and magic.

But my number one movie in the room.

My number one recommendation is Bugonia.

I loved it.

Again, necessary watch for your conspiracy person.

Necessary watch.

Gray movie started out.

I wasn't too sure the first 30 minutes.

I was like, I don't know about this.

But by the end, I was like, oh yeah, dude.

This director went for it.

Loved it.

Then there were some mid movies that people love that I was like, ah, it's mid centers.

It was fine.

Mid crank, which is an older movie.

And I'm not a big action movie guy, but I kept, you know, crank is one of those like, you know, top one of the greatest action movies ever.

It was fine.

It was mid movie called Audity.

Some horror movie that people were like, oh, it's a strange movie ever.

TikTok bull crap, by the way, because that's where I saw some of these recommendations.

It's like, you got to watch Audity.

If you're like horror movies, it was fine.

It was mid fatal attraction.

Because I did a show.

As you know, I do a podcast of my wife called Breaking Social Norms, Barry Uncensored, Barry inappropriate, Barry Off the cuff.

Lots of opinions.

We get political.

It's a lot of things that this show is not.

And we did it.

I think it was two episodes or one episode on my top 80s and 90s horny movies.

And I had to watch several of these movies that I'd never seen.

One of those was fatal attraction, which I, which is usually ranked as one of the the hornyest greatest movies ever in that genre.

And it was mid.

I was like, this sucks.

What are you talking about?

It's mid.

The Beatles juice sequel.

Beatles just beat it just finally watched it.

I didn't hate it.

A lot of people hated it.

It was okay.

I appreciate that they tried to revisit it.

I appreciate Monica Balucci, you know, but it just didn't work.

Just didn't work.

Now for the worst movies.

Because you know I'm a hater.

I love to hate.

I got to hate it in my heart.

And I want to hate on some things.

And the first one's going to be a surprise.

No holds barred.

Yeah.

When I was a kid, I wanted to see this movie so bad.

And in fact, I think I saw in the theater.

My brain has been turning into applesauce.

Because there's things that I think happened that it didn't happen sometimes.

I thought I saw no holds barred in the theater.

If I didn't, I for sure wanted to because I was obsessed with wrestling and hawkogan and all that crap back then.

And no, I don't think I saw in the theater.

I don't know.

I'm going to ask my mom.

She don't remember either.

But I thought I maybe saw it.

Either way, I was too young to remember it.

I watched as an adult.

I was like, this movie's terrible.

This is one of the worst movies ever made, which is surprising because of the hawkogan being such a huge celebrity at the time.

We're going to go through celebrity deaths, by the way, speaking of.

I watched the Bob Dylan movie with Timothy Shalame.

You know, I like some of Bob Dylan's music.

I love till Timothy Shalame should have been a knockout of the park.

Terrible, terrible movie.

If Bob Dylan was that boring and that rude in real life, F him.

The terrible movie.

I was like, this is cratrash.

Did he do a great job?

I'm sure.

I'm sure.

Color of night with Bruce Willis.

Again, see the breaking social norms.

80s, 90s, horny movie list that we did.

I think it was around September, October, maybe.

This is again, one of these movies that keeps getting referenced.

And it was kind of a shallow movie, which is kind of something I like and it's kind of horny, which is what I really like.

Terrible.

Terrible on all fronts.

Exist ends.

Now, this is the movie that Jennifer Jason Lee did instead of being in the matrix.

And I think it's David Kronenberg even.

And I was like, oh, this is going to be good.

Track down a copy.

Terrible.

Then like it.

Worst movie of the year.

And I say this without hesitation.

And I say this with much hate in my heart.

The UFO documentary age of disclosure.

It's terrible.

I'm here to tell you it's terrible.

I bought it.

I buy every one of these movies for the last six years.

Any Stephen Greer movie, any UFO exposing from the high ups and intelligence agents and government.

Any of them that come out, I buy them 20 bucks on Amazon every time.

And I fall for it every time.

And I fell for this too.

Everyone was hyping this up.

You know, your boy, Rogan was hyping this up.

Oh my god, a necessary viewing.

Gotta watch it.

No, you don't.

Unless you've been in a coma since 2019, you know everything they're going to say, where's yet they're going to give you zero evidence.

Where's yet it's going to be a bunch of like intelligence agency trust me, bros.

Oh, okay.

I'll yeah, the CIA and FBI would never lie to us.

The US government would never lie to us.

F out of here, man.

I was like, this was the most hyped up nonsense bull crap I had ever seen.

It makes me mad just talking about it.

I don't want to keep rantin about it.

But F age is a disclosure.

If everyone pushing this, I'm out.

You know what I mean?

Again, it's just part of this UFO grift.

It just is.

The UFO grift.

Like I get it.

I'm fascinated by UFOs.

I want to hear everything.

There's an hear about it.

Give us the evidence.

Oh wow, they're so transparent.

They're revealing the truth.

No, they're not.

They're not revealing anything.

It's always, okay, we're going to have a we're going to have a testimony at Congress about what these whistleblowers know, what these pilots saw, what these intelligence agents saw.

And guess what we get to hear?

Well, I got to talk to you in the skiff about that.

Okay.

Got it.

There's top secret things.

Okay, what was the results of the skiff meeting?

They never happen.

We don't know.

Bull crap.

The government's been onto this since the 40s.

Oh, there's no video.

There's no photos.

There's nothing.

You can't give us anything.

That's interesting.

The best.

It's like that pond stars meme.

It's like, best I can do is intelligence agents telling you that's true.

Thanks.

The people that have been lying to us for 80 years.

Those are the people we should trust now.

Just be like, yeah, we know, but we can't tell you.

Okay, got it.

Okay.

Any going to positive note?

Because I, you know, have a lot of depression and anxiety.

I like to look forward to things.

That's one of the things.

That's one of the techniques and strategy I used to stay not depressed.

Stay happy.

And one of the things is films look out for in 2026.

All right.

Honourable mention in January, Twin Peaks.

Well, throughout the year, I'm sure, Peaks is going to be in a bunch of theaters.

There's this thing where a lot of indie theaters will do the Twin Peaks.

The return the full damn season in the theaters.

Get on that if you're into it.

They're coming to Salt Lake in January.

I don't know which ones I'm going to, but I'm going.

Hey guys, it's a piss you off to watch Crypto's Flipping price for over a decade.

You still know nothing about it.

It makes sense.

Crypto's complicated and it's boring.

Well, here's the good news.

You don't need to know a thing about crypto to make the money that so many people have.

The copy of my crypto.com membership site shows you the exact cryptos that YouTube James McMahon personally holds.

Which means you just copy him.

It's like having a big brother who knows what he's doing.

You don't need to know a thing about crypto or how to invest you simply copy along.

So let me tell you more about James.

He owns the crypto with James YouTube channel which has over 94,000 subscribers.

In the summer of 2020, he told his viewers that by 26 cryptos had you put a hundred bucks into each one, it went on to be worth over $123,000 of the 26 cryptos, his top pick of the year.

The one that he singled out called Phantom went up 692 times.

From what he said, that one call alone has retired a number of people including guys in their 20s and 30s.

Remember this is public knowledge.

You can go to YouTube and verify this yourself.

So if you'd like to join the 2800 members who copy James, then pause what you're doing.

Head over to copymycrypto.com/isic.

That's copymycrypto.com/isic spelled with two A's, I S A A C double A double awesome.

You're going to get proof of everything I've said.

And my viewers get full access for just one dollar and you're going to join me too because I'm also a member.

I've been watching James videos and listening to his voice for years now.

James is the real deal.

It couldn't be any easier guys.

And yes, you've missed out on Bitcoin, but there's over two million other cryptos.

Do really think you've missed out on all of them guys.

Don't waste any more time.

Go to the site now.

Copymycrypto.com/isic with two A's.

You get in for a buck.

It's any money worries for so many.

It may just do the same for you.

Link in the show notes as always.

I like Christopher all movies.

Those are great.

Don't three.

Love it.

Those dude movies got me in a chokehold.

I want to read the books.

I heard the books are hard to read and I'm not good with fantasy books.

So I'll probably won't.

In February, does pointy movie coming out called Withering Heights with Margot Robbie in it.

That's all I needed to hear.

I'm there.

Masters of the universe.

Yeah, please.

You kid me.

He man.

That's like formative childhood stuff.

Peaky blinders comes out in March.

Love that show.

Robert Eggers has a new one that coming out called Werewolf.

Of course, required viewing.

There's a return of the living dead sort of remate coming out and there's another Friday movie coming out last Friday.

So good stuff coming.

Stay positive folks.

So if you have to click on, un, unclick it to see it.

But you can read my opinion about Avatar 3 there.

I would just watch it yesterday.

Celebrity deaths of 2025.

Let's rattle this off.

This is a massive list.

I can't talk about each one.

We'll be here all day.

But it seems like this is more celebrity dying than ever.

Robert Redford, Diane Keaton, rumors online that Jack Nicholson might be going out next because I guess he's real sad.

He was really close with her and he's not looking too good.

Apparently.

Gene Hackman had that horrific, like, Haunt of Iris death in his house.

Oh, terrible.

James Ranson, the guy he was in black phone, generation killed, the wire, it, it was very sad.

He was dealing with a lot of trauma, you know, and like, when people do this thing to themselves, I got to be careful.

I'm on YouTube.

Sorry.

I got to be careful.

When people do this thing to themselves, like, it's painful.

You know, it hurts everyone around you forever.

It's scarring for everybody involved.

It's terrible.

Like, you know, get some help.

Please.

Buck Rogers, Clito Escapito, that's Jimmy Kimmel's friend and van leader, very odd timing because it was right after Jimmy Kimmel got canceled and brought back Rob Reiner and his wife.

That was just recently, of course, Darth Cheney, Diane Ladd, that's Laura Darn's mother for all you twin peaks geeks out there.

Ace Freely from Kiss, not a huge kiss fan, so it didn't affect me that much.

A lot of people are, though, you know, people love kiss.

DeAngelo, Jane Goodall with the monkeys, you know, she's the, when she like talking to orangutans or something, Lonnie Anderson, Malcolm Jamal Warner, a lot of 80 celebrities here, you know, Michael Madsen, Jimmy Swagger.

Oh, no, not Jimmy Swagger.

A Nanda Lewis, that one surprised me.

She was the host of MTV for years.

She was a, she was only 52.

She had breast cancer and I, for what I had read, I guess she had put off mammograms.

So, ladies, get your mammograms.

Don't mess around.

That's sad, man.

I liked it.

Nanda, uh, uh, a sliced stone from family in the stone.

Is that the name of the band?

Anyway, George Went, I was normed from Cheers, uh, Kirk from Florida, Bama Shore.

I watched that show guilty pleasures.

These reality shows, Kirk died.

That was sad.

Jill Sobel, she sang, I kissed a girl from the 90s.

Terrible, right?

Gene Wilder from Willie Wonka just kidding.

Just kidding.

I got you last year too, Fools.

I'm trying to see if you're paying attention.

Gene Wilder died in 2016.

Oh, terrible.

Pope Francis after JD Vance, uh, Sugar's Hand and killed him allegedly.

Uh, Valkyomer.

That one was sad.

He had a good documentary too.

He was a good dude.

It seemed like, right?

George Foreman from the George Foreman grills, the guy, that's what he's most famous for is inventing a grill.

I remember cooking with that, cooking bacon on the thing.

Angie Stone died in a car accident.

David Yo Hanson from the New York dolls.

Lin Marie Stewart.

She was on Peeley's playhouse.

Miss Yvonne.

Will let a Wallace.

That's Bigs mom.

Irv Gotti.

He died at 54.

I think it said it was from health reasons like diabetes or something.

Marianne Faithful.

She was the, the witch hanging out with, she would date and make Jagger and involved with Kenneth Anger and all that stuff.

DJ Unk, that's the guy saying, walk it out.

Bob Euker, you know, Mr.

Baseball.

And finally, there's a new segment of the celebrity deaths that I'm doing.

This is reserved for the special legendary heroes of mind that died.

Uh, I'm calling it the Will See You in Valhalla send off.

Uh, Danielle Spencer.

Not very famous, but she was in a show called What's Happening?

Then I grew up and I loved watching what's happening.

She was D I like to her because she was like kind of the, she was kind of the smart ass.

Like she was the toughest one of the bunch, right?

Uh, she was a roger sister.

But anyway, she died.

Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys.

Love the Beach Boys growing up.

They made a lot of great songs.

Uh, Rebecca Del Rio from Twin Peaks.

And then my top three top three sent, um, see you in Valhalla, Hawkeogan, you know, was he problematic at times?

Yes.

Did he say some racist stuff?

Yes.

Did he, you know, and then you had his wife with Bubba the Loves, but I hope, you know, see when a man loves a woman so much, sometimes he wants another man to, well, you go, I'm saying, you go where I'm going with that.

Uh, he was, he was a, he was a straight dude.

Then at the end, he did that like weird maggot griff thing and look, I'm the kind of guy that likes to separate the art from the artist.

Clearly, I've got problematic, uh, I'm a problematic fan of problematic artists.

And uh, Hawkeogan's right there.

I don't care.

I don't care what he did.

I don't care.

You know, I love, I didn't, I didn't love Terry Bolilla.

I loved Hawkeogan.

I loved the character Hawkeogan from the 80s.

When I, when I hear that, and he wasn't even my favorite wrestler, like actually sometimes was pulling me, I like the villains more, but it didn't matter.

He was part, he was part of that scene, man, when that music kicks up, man, I got excited.

Then number two, Ozzy Osborne, love, Ozzy, love Black Sabbath.

Did a whole bonus show on that, I feel more on that.

But then my number one, and this is only a recent love.

And that's David Lynch, died in January.

And, um, as you know, I wasn't in the David Lynch.

In fact, I watched Lost Highway when I was a teenager.

That was my first exposure to him.

I was like, this is weird.

And then I didn't really watch.

I don't think I watched any of it.

I, I, I, I had seen clips of Blue Velvet.

Actually, I think I did watch Blue Velvet when I was a teen, but I didn't get it at all.

I was barely paying attention.

Oh, I remember it was the, uh, homeboy, what, with the, uh, the oxygen mask, you know, I can't repeat what he says, but, uh, anyway, it wasn't until I found Twin Peaks.

I was like, Twin Peaks is goaded David Lynch.

Like that's pinnacle David Lynch.

It just is.

And it changed my life.

And I loved it.

So David Lynch gets the number one, see you in Valhalla.

Let's shift over to top pop culture and conspiracy moments, right?

And this one's going to be intriguing.

Um, I can't, of course, we're on YouTube.

So I have to be careful what I say, but I'll use code to the language.

You'll, you'll get it.

2023, we had the rise of Tiffany Gomez.

She was the, that guy's not real on the plane, right?

And then this woman come out and said, she's Tiffany Gomez.

I don't know if that's her or not.

I don't know.

I, I kind of don't think it is.

Whatever.

Uh, because when she came out, she was dressing the same outfit.

Like it was just kind of weird.

I don't know.

Anyways, so 23, we had the rise of Tiffany Gomez.

24, we had the rise of the Hock tour girl.

And in 2025, we saw the fall of the Hock tour girl.

Hock tour girl, you remember she did this viral interview at the end of 24.

And it blew up so much so that she went for her.

She quittered job at the dreaded day job at the bed spring factory.

She started selling merch.

She made a big first public appearance on stage with Zach Brian, which is also a whole lumina confirm.

I guess he's got this weird hell scape concert, whatever.

I don't listen to country.

So I, I don't know.

Then her second appearance was doing a DJ set with the Freemasonic go to grifter himself, Shaquille O'Neal.

Then she launches a podcast on Jake Paul's company and has every celebrity guest ever.

Then she launches a crypto coin that she allegedly pumped and dumped.

And by May of 2025, it all comes crashing down.

She stopped recording.

Her last episode was addressing this whole crypto pump and dump scheme.

And she's gone.

Just like that.

Pooh gone.

And I don't know the whole story behind the crypto thing.

I could care less.

I don't know.

Whatever.

I appreciate that she went for it, though.

Like that was pretty cool.

Unless this whole thing was set up to whatever.

Then in 2024, David Lynch was, you know, he had this, what do you call it?

I think COPD from Smoking Too Much.

He gets evacuated from his home from the LA fires in January.

And it's believed this contributed to his death.

And sadly, it was, I think I told the story before, but we were, we had two dogs at the time.

We lost our one Chihuahua jelly bean.

We lost her the previous year in 24.

And our other Chihuahua Eva, she's kind of like the brown one.

She's the evil one.

She had a rough life at this poor baby.

And she was, she was in the ER.

Had a hard time breathing and we had to put her down.

So we're in the waiting room.

And you know, fun.

This is right.

So I'm like, okay, we're waiting for them to kind of bring her to us so we can do this whole horrific ordeal, right?

But you got to be there for the dogs.

Okay.

You got to be there for that.

They were there for you.

Their whole lives.

You got to be there for them when they go when they cross that bridge.

Okay.

I'm going to choke up here.

Um, anyway, we're sitting there waiting room.

And I pull up my phone trying to dissociate just waiting for them to bring our baby to us here.

And I open the phone immediately.

I see the news.

Dave Lynch died.

I was like, Oh, this is great.

What a great day.

This is a terrible day.

So yeah, that's I'll never forget that moment now.

So yeah, awful.

2024 Bitcoin crosses a hundred thousand bucks for the first time ever.

Now fast 40 year 2025 down to 80,000.

Which was kind of shocking because the cryptos were supposed to have this massive year.

And we didn't quite see that.

What's going to happen in the future?

I don't know.

We're going to see, right?

I'm heavily invested in crypto as two.

So I'm watching with baited breaths as well.

A follow a by long time sponsor James McMahon from copy my crypto shout out to James McMahon, by the way.

Shout out to James McMahon and the crew over there for supporting the show and being my my dedicated sponsor.

Um, he won't be as he knows what he's talking about.

I followed him for years.

And I, I, I've actually had a personal coaching call with him once to talk about some of the stuff because the cryptos are kind of wild, right?

Anyway, crypto had a crazy year.

Unexpected dropping.

2024, we had the Drake versus Kendrick Lamar beef, right?

Well, fast forward to 2025.

Kendrick Lamar ruins hip-hop.

So thanks for that.

Thanks for trying to kneecap my man Drake.

Drake's problematic.

Like I told you, I've got, I've got a, I'm a fan of very problematic people.

Drake also confirmed that he was hooking up with Kim Kardashian, right?

Remember that song?

Kiki, are you with me?

Apparently, that was true.

2024, we had Mike Tyson versus Jake Paul seemed like a richable stage event to embarrass Mike Tyson if you recall, right?

And now in 2025, fast forward a year, we saw the opposing force, the opposing polarity come into play of Jake Paul being embarrassed.

Jake Paul, of course, being another one of these a goaded grifter, goaded grifter status with Shaq.

Also, he's a huge Trump supporter.

Also a huge supporter of that country like Trump, like Hock Tua girl, by the way, too.

Apparently, I guess, I don't know.

That's what they say online.

And yeah, because there, anyway, I won't get into that, but not today.

But sort of related, we also saw Andrew Tate getting beat badly at the same time.

What's going on here?

It's like we're seeing a ritual on last year, it was the, the rise of these sort of type of people.

And now it's the sort of destruction.

It's kind of strange.

Also with the chiefs.

You know, last, the last few years, they were unstoppable in this year, like they're terrible.

What's going on?

Time will tell 2023, Elon promised to release the Fauci files 2024 Trump promised to release the Epstein files.

And guess what I'm in 2025?

The Democrats forced to release the Epstein files.

Very strange occurrence here.

And it does kind of play into that Hagueleon dialect of left and right, all that being sort of ritualistic theater.

You know, Trump is a also a big part of the 2025.

Obviously, right?

He, this guy promised the world people voted because of it.

And I get it, right?

Like I'm not, I'm not a fan.

I wouldn't do that.

But hey, I get what people are saying.

Like the groceries are outrageous.

Everything's going outrageous.

And he promised, he's like, all the electrical bills, gas bills are going to be cut in half.

He said they were going to be cut in half.

You realize how insane that sounds?

And of course, they didn't.

Of course, they went up.

It was up, they're up like 25%.

Auto insurance said it was going to be cut in half.

No, didn't happen.

All thrown with bone.

He did say no more taxes on tips and overtime.

And that version of that went through kind of.

He promised groceries were going to be less.

That certainly didn't happen.

Beaves is out through the roof.

Oh my gosh.

I promised to end all these wars on day one.

That didn't happen.

Say you're going to replace Obamacare.

That didn't happen.

Like I'll still help with the best.

I'm, I'm a American number one.

I care what presidents in there.

I want this country to do better.

However, that happens.

I'm America first, by the way, not that country first.

Like some of these guys are doing, which is like absurd.

I'm like, what is happening with all this?

We're sending 40 million to Argentina, 40 billion, excuse me, whatever it is.

I don't know, whatever the money is.

Whatever the money is, I don't care what it is.

I want it here.

I want it here in America to help with American lives.

I don't care what these other countries do.

That's their progative.

They spend their money.

How they want to spend it?

I'm not helping them.

We ought to help this country.

Q up the, Q up the I am a real American hero, Hawkeh, holy music, because that's who I am.

And then we had the abstinence files, of course.

Proving, revealing, revelation of the method, kind of stuff, right?

Revealing what's going on.

Kind of confirming that this guy had links to that country and that intelligence agency.

And if you want my whole hot take on this thing, I'm going to guess that this is going to end up like the diddy thing.

You're going to have all these accusations that are probably true about these in-depth sort of complex web of structures being involved with all this stuff.

And instead, we're going to get one fall guy.

People will be passed fired.

We'll move on to something else.

Right?

And this is the scapegoat stuff that James Shelby Downer was talking about.

And you can see how Trump's involved with all this.

The whole most transparent president ever.

Okay, got it.

Got it.

Got sworn in in January.

Clearly besties with the abstinence.

Multiple photos of the abstinence.

Literally holding a check.

He's holding a big check written from Trump to purchase a girl.

An email.

I mean, I don't want to go on all day.

You already know you don't need to hear from me.

But the whole push for the darken alignment, that's my concern the most.

And they're doing this with the KCAP economy crush, right?

They're crushing small farms, small businesses.

The typical consumer with grocery prices, everything with the tariffs, like that's what tariffs do.

They raise the price of everything.

So I don't understand how this is by design though.

This is all gray reset, pandemic type stuff.

This is 2.0 of that.

They want to consolidate all these small businesses to mega corporations and mega farms, private equity.

It's all part of it, right?

We got this military police state thing as another component of this.

They're trying to normalize and make you accept.

Having the US military in your town, trying to support police states of ICE, arresting people without due process, violating the constitution clearly to send them to this hellscape prison in El Salvador.

And then they'll roll out of the data for Palantir to make an AI, basically from Westworld.

That's literally what they did.

They signed an executive order for them to consolidate all this data, personal data that the government has about you.

In one giant system, so they can make the AI minority report pre-cog system.

That's where we're going.

So good news about that.

Then we had the LI fires, right?

Kendrick was at Super Bowl.

He does the not like us thing.

We had the ditty trial.

He only got 50 months and I'm guaranteed he's going to be out way before that.

Guaranteed.

Guaranteed.

That's what they do.

It's kind of like how Gilein was in prison.

She already got moved to Puppy Prison.

She's playing with puppies and getting private cooked meals.

She'll be out soon.

She'll be hanging out with Jeffrey in whatever location he's hiding at.

Another big moment, Ozzy, of course, dying, Hulk Hogan dying.

But another huge moment that no one seems to be talking about.

This is a big elephant in the room.

People quitting podcasting.

What is going on?

My man won on one.

I heard he joined a flat earth cult.

That's what I heard.

I asked someone and he said he joined a flat earth cult.

I don't know what's going on one on one.

Mark, I listened to the Tiffel Hat Wrap-Up Show, which was fantastic, which by the way, Shout out to Tiffel Hat.

One of my favorite shows.

Those guys are the best.

They got the best chemistry and I think I petition that they do more shows of just those four guys because they had Mark Steve's the booker on there and everyone brings something unique to the table of those four and I loved it.

I was the most engaging, interesting episode I heard from those that ever.

So I don't know who I guess I could text the guys.

But yeah, I think Sam, Johnny, X, D and Mark all together.

That makes for killer content, I think.

But Mark on that show said that one actually quit podcasting because he had to get I don't know how to get that.

That's not sound good, but he got a job that makes it so he can pay his bills.

It's great because it's not a lot of money in podcasting.

Blood so the blood so set so guys.

Did the whole show I listened to it and Ryan still doing the show and he's going to keep it going.

But you know that that's you know, it's not a quit podcasting but yeah, they had a little fracture there.

Not a problem, not a fighter, nothing.

You can hear it.

Listen to the episode yourself.

Check it out.

Taren Manning, she started a podcast and quit podcasting.

Hock Tua girl.

She quit podcasting.

Mark Marin, who's been around forever doing it.

I never listened to an episode.

I don't know.

He seems kind of like a jerk to be honest.

But the biggest one, Freeman fly one of my red pill daddies.

He did I did my first interview ever with another podcast.

Excuse me.

I did the radio show in Utah.

I think it was called Ground Zero.

That was my first interview.

The first podcast interview was Freeman though.

He was the one that gave me a chance.

And I'd been a huge listener of his.

So Freeman could do it.

I don't I tried to email him.

He didn't write back.

I don't know what's going on with him.

Someone online claimed that they knew him and they said he was just kind of taking a break, taking a breather.

Hopefully he comes back.

Now some other podcast was a quit.

I'm very unfamiliar with these people.

Barstools BFF show, Matt Walsh apparently quit podcasting early Dan Bangeino who went to the FBI apparently he he you know obviously quit podcast and we want to come back.

Maybe a quest love had a podcast that quit.

There's a show called CUM town.

I don't know.

These are big shows though apparently.

And they quit good doing an I ask, good was why?

What's going on?

And they said the biggest reason is unrealistic expectations.

It's low money with a high amount of time.

And I will testify to that.

It is true.

And it's getting worse by the way because from till that you get on the behind the scenes sponsors are drying up for smaller shows like like mine.

And the expectations on the quality, the guests, the video production are through the roof.

I mean I can't compete with some of these guys.

I don't there's not a time of the day.

I got hire someone.

I don't have the money to hire somebody right.

But that's the whole point of this.

That's the whole point of this.

This is dangerous for the system.

They want to shove out independent voices.

So that we're out of the ecosphere of these big, you know, big celebrity, it's like, oh, another big celebrity podcast.

Gee, what are they going to talk about?

They're going to have another big celebrity on talk about the things that are bought and paid for for you to hear, right?

They want you to listen to Joe Rogan go and Peter Till talk about whatever three times a year and Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk hear their nonsense.

That's what they want.

Now the number one event in 2025 is a mix of things that came to a boiling point in September of 2025.

Our goal is the revelation of the method event.

We had Charlie K Epstein and that country.

All right.

Epstein files, of course, are part of this.

We had to phase one binder event back in March.

Remember all the yeah, we got the list and there was nothing.

Then we had the birthday book in September.

Then they had the vote on releasing the files vetoed by Republicans on September 10th.

It was the same day the Charlie K thing happened.

All right.

Then there was an email dump in November and then in the official legal day that all the Epstein files had to be released legally was December 19th.

And as you know, not even complete yet.

Everything's redacted and then they're like, oh, wait, we found a million more files.

Kidney.

What is going on?

And you'll notice that was on the solstice by the way to bring the occult into this.

But that country and we're going to unpack this maybe on a full show.

Maybe I don't know if I want this level of heat, but this is just an observation stick.

It easy.

And look, to clarify, you know, I love Kubrick.

I've got him tattooed in my arm.

I love Bernie Sanders.

I would never ever push or support bigotive views of individuals.

In the same way that if I go to another country as a tourist, I would hate that they would be like, oh, you're an American.

You're terrible.

I like, no, our government's terrible.

And that's the same way I look at this, right?

That government is sus.

Kind of like our government.

Some of that our government is sus, right?

And now everyone seems to be questioning all of history.

And for some weird reason, social media is allowing this.

Even viralizing a lot of these videos questioning that country and stuff like that.

And I find it very strange.

I find it very strange.

There's talk about, hey, if you, I saw a video the other day about, oh, if you support any of these pop culture artists, you know, like Drake and all these big names, right?

They're like, you're supporting the thing currently happening over in that area.

Because all the big artists are owned by the label and guess who owns the labels, right?

Guess who guess, you know, and anyway, gotta be real careful here.

And that ties into Charlie K.

And there were so many theories about this.

It's outrageous.

It would be a full-time job to track and keep up with all of them.

Because I don't listen to canas owns.

I don't, I don't, uh, while I was talking about this stuff, I don't really follow.

It's not really my lane and not really my thing.

But I do casually keep up with them.

Like, dude, what is going on?

I mean, they're saying that, all kinds of stuff about the guy who supposedly did it, this Tyler guy and his furry boyfriend and, oh, my goodness.

And I talked about a lot of the stuff on the Charlie K, King Keele 33 episode.

You got to listen to that or listen to the tinfoil hat.

I go deep dive on my my version though.

But in the rounds, he wrote on these rounds like crazy stuff.

But anyways, the point is that ties, supposedly ties to that country in Canas Owens, who she said there was going to be another 911 event the second week of December, which I don't think that happened.

And she's been campaigning hard and the pain about that country being involved because apparently Charlie wasn't interested in supporting them anymore and Erica Kirk.

She comes out and she's acting all weird coming on stage like Rick Flair with fireworks banging out.

And she reminds me a lot of Prince, uh, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

They, they're like crying.

We just want to be left alone and it looks like, bro, no, you don't.

You're in the limelight every day.

You're siding up for these appearances every day.

But Erica's supposedly there's this theory that she's going to hook up with old Just Dance Vance.

But anyway, she's pushing this whole thing about how, no, Charlie was a big supporter.

He would put his phone in the drawer on Saturdays and, you know, say a certain phrase that you would hear from that country.

It's weird.

And then old H.J.

Bobert, she passed an amendment to punish politically motivated boycotts of that country.

Even though we already had laws about that.

Major update folks.

I've had to move my online start from Gumroad to my own website.

So now you can find all of my author sign books, super soft shirts and a brand new health gift.

My own branded mushroom infused coffee called Mushroom and I need to watch a coffee all at a cult symbolism.com.

I've written nine books so far working on a couple more right now.

And you can pick them up, sign from my shaky callous laden crossfit hands and ship to your door.

There's also a couple of bundle deals you can take advantage of like my oops, all the books bundle.

And of course I've got the super soft podcast logo shirts that say these nerds are going to kill us on the back.

Never been more appropriate than in our modern times.

You'll have people stop to tell you they agree with you.

And that you're super cool for listening to a cult symbolism and pop culture.

Finally, I've got this new product.

I worked with my coffee plug from San Diego, Jordan to give my lessons.

The best mushroom infused coffee on the planet.

Called to the mushroom and now he wants your coffee.

It's a whole bean coffee with flavor notes of candied orange sugar and plum but more importantly it's infused with 6,000 milligrams of mushroom extract.

Rayshi, Chaga, Mesema, Lions, Maine, Turketeal, Chitake, Blaise, Igaraghan and Oyster is one of the healthiest mushroom blends and it becomes by available when you infuse it into the coffee.

I read this whole book on medicinal mushrooms by Christopher Hobbs.

He goes through the countless studies that prove the effectiveness of supplementing a healthy lifestyle with mushrooms for physical, mental, superiority.

It's like you're plugged into an electrical socket and it tastes so good.

You won't believe that there's mushrooms in there because I've tried several mushroom coffees and it never to get more mushroom supplementation into my life and they're terrible.

But not mushroom and any watcher coffee.

Super smooth.

Finally, if you're on Patreon or VIP section, I had to update your 10% off discount code.

So check out the show notes for your new code that you can use it to call similism.com.

I can't offer the 10% on the coffee though because the problem margins are so narrow I'd be losing money on every sale.

So there you go.

Support your favorite independent voice and podcasting at call similism.com links in the show notes.

And then strangely, all these comics do a show in Saudi Arabia, right?

Which is a Muslim country, which is at odds with that other country.

And it all made sense when I watched the Dave Chappelle Netflix stand up.

He had a valid response because he was like, look, everyone was mad at us comics for taking the money from Saudi because they killed one of the journalists here.

And he's like, what a, oh, are we keeping track?

What about that country?

They took out over 240.

And I looked it up and I was like, no way.

I looked it up.

Yeah, dude.

That's what the official Google result tells you that.

So good to be worse.

You know, and like I said, USA, we don't have the, we don't have the cleanest hands either, right?

But Dave Chappelle show, I found it very interesting.

I found it very interesting.

We'll say, but he said it's, you'll hear it on the air.

I'm sure.

And he said it's easier to speak in Saudi Arabia than America, which makes me think about the control system that we're discussing right now, right?

And how I've got to use coded language.

Anyway, my point being, all this transparent talk about that country that we're seeing everywhere, all of a sudden, I mean, you couldn't talk about this stuff before all of a sudden we're seeing it.

Is this being done on purpose?

My first paranoid thought is, oh, they're trying to make it acceptable to talk about these things so that you go on social media and you say, yeah, I don't like that country either.

They control everything.

They control the media, all this stuff, right?

What do you think they're doing that?

Could it be that just a few months ago, Trump signed that executive order to have pound to your scrape data and consolidate it all?

Huh.

And what could that be?

Could it be that they're trying to see who's talking about this stuff so they can keep a close eye on that?

I'm just saying, be careful.

Right?

I'm just saying, be careful.

Because it just trains all of a sudden the conspiracy theorist is free to talk all in all these platforms.

And all of a sudden we're seeing all this talk about that country.

That's interesting, isn't it?

Huh.

Interesting how some of these guys can say all this crazy stuff.

Nick Fuentes, Ian Carroll, Kenneth Owens, just very openly discussing all this stuff.

And I say, I've been saying this since day one with guys like Ian Carroll, I'm like, how?

How did I get torched off of every platform for hanging this neutrally presented discussion about events that aren't even this controversial?

And I get slapped across the face a thousand times and canceled off of everything.

How does that work?

Isn't that interesting?

Huh.

But I have a general distrust of paranoia over everyone.

So, you know, that's not a diss against you and Carroll.

I have no problem with the man.

He seems like a good researcher.

I actually like you and Carroll.

I think he's a good researcher.

I like the way he talks.

I think he's, he seems like a genuine dude, but I, but I'm sorry, I'm a conspiracy guy at heart.

If you came around after the pandemic, I don't trust you.

You got to earn that.

And that goes for almost everybody, right?

That's not me like talking shit.

I'm just saying it's like my job and my goal as a conspiracy guy is to question everyone and everything.

That's what I do.

So, sorry.

And you've got this lot of weird representation of dark and lineman figures like Peter Teal, you know, going on Joe Rogan a hundred times and his employee Jesse Michaels going on Joe Rogan with his massive show American Alchemy.

And I only found out about that show recently because he did a four hour interview with Peter Leventa guy I've been trying for years to get on.

Right?

It's also very strange is what I'm saying.

And that Jesse Michaels guys dad is this there is famous therapist that had a show on Apple TV about him would start played by Harrison Ford and he wrote a book about how you need to like pull up your shadow and let your shadow take over like crazy stuff that I'm like, yo, this is also very weird.

I in fact, I listened to JC Michaels on Joe Rogan for a little bit and he was talking about how he worked on the daily show and he was in the green room talking to, um, who's the incarnate of evil that dude?

Oh man, I came to think I got a diet a couple of years ago that John Oliver kept having to count down to when he died.

Oh, it doesn't matter, whatever.

Anyway, my point is I think there's a bigger conspiracy a player, uh, mark my words.

I think they want to give conspiracy people a platform and then embarrass them all the way out.

Okay, moving on.

Podcast big moves.

Big moves.

This is the time when I get to sit back, relax, and this is actually dedicated to you guys.

This is one because of you.

This is nothing, I mean, nothing to do with me, but it's mostly about you guys because I would not have any of this stuff without you.

The big moves I made on the podcast this year, YouTube relaunch, go find me, like a subscribe, add a cult symbolism, right?

As you know, at the beginning of the year, I'd gone full explicit.

I was like, you know what?

I'm just going full explicit.

I don't care.

And then I immediately had to pull it back because I launched my third YouTube channel.

It is, anyway, and it was kind of a weird thing.

It was kind of an old channel that had a strike against it that they unlocked and I was like, oh, sweet, I'm back on, but my first two channels got torched.

This is first, technically it was my first and third channel got torched and my second one stayed alive and then came back.

So anyway, it doesn't matter.

Back on YouTube, add a cult symbolism, subscribe, give me a hundred thousand subscribers.

You hit me with them height points.

You know what I'm talking about?

If you know what I'm talking about with the height points, hit me with them height points.

They're free to use, apparently.

Help me hit that top 100 on the heips and I'll hit that 100 K and I'll stop winding.

You can stop hearing about it.

Okay.

Also another big move.

I moved my online store to Shopify.

Now at occultsimilism.com is where not at.

Excuse me.

You can now find my online merch store with super soft shirts, sign paperbacks, and my new launch of Miss Ruminati Watcher Coffee, the best mushroom-refused coffee on the planet roasted by my man, Jordan, specifically for my listeners.

It's a little pricey, right?

It's bougie coffee.

I'm going to tell you right now is bougie because if you get any of that mushroom-refused coffee, it's expensive.

And that's the reason he uses organic stuff, organic mushroom, what do you call extract, organic beans.

It's fantastic.

It's literally the best coffee I've ever tasted.

And if you've tasted mushroom-refused coffee, it always has a little too mushroom-y taste to it.

This one does not.

It's fantastic.

It's very healthy.

It's very good for you.

I mean, these aren't FDA proof statements, I'm sure, whatever.

But you can get it all at my new web store, occultsimilism.com.

I was on Gumroad before, but they were like, "Hey, we're not selling physical products anymore." She can still get digital products on there, so it's still there, but not really.

If you want all the physical stuff, that's where you go.

Another big move for the podcast, the episode on the history channel, unexplained.

That was a huge moment.

That was a big moment for me.

A big moment for the podcast.

Another big move on the podcast, I shot that documentary about Crowley with Joel Thomas and Tony Merkel.

It's still in the works.

Originally, we thought it was coming out at the beginning of the year.

It got pushed back a little bit for some reasons, but it's going to be a banger.

It's going to be a series, I believe.

Stay tuned for more on that.

Of course, I'll be talking about it.

And now for the biggest move.

The biggest move of all time, I want to share with you.

This is the one I teased you at the beginning with.

It's the biggest personal move as well.

Big podcast move, big personal move that I made since starting this whole thing.

As some of you know, I've been doing this research since 2011, and I never had the intention of making this a full time thing.

This was a passion project.

Then something weird happened.

2020 happens.

Pandemic, everything goes remote.

Suddenly, I'm at home working.

And as you know, if you tell a work or a remote work, there's a ton of time savings, tons of time savings.

And I suddenly, I had the time to really level up the depths of the research, the length of the episode, the overall quality.

And you notice that, right?

The show changes in 2020.

You can notice all those things happen.

Fast forward to 2025.

And my work goes fully flips over fully back in office.

And I'd hit this crossroads, right?

I was trying to maintain this standard that I'd built over those years of remote work.

And I wanted to keep that going.

But then I lost a lot of the time it took to make that possible.

So something I had to give.

And I didn't want it to be the show.

I love it too dearly.

So earlier this year, back in May, I made the decision to step away from my day job and commit fully to this show.

And I want to be very clear, this isn't, um, it isn't isn't a victory lap.

It actually raises the stakes, right?

This means the show is going to live or die on the work I put in and the value that I bring to you, right?

With my research, with my references, with the quality of how I present this information.

And all that responsibility is definitely not lost on me, okay?

And the only reason that any of this was possible is because of you, because of support from the community, right?

From the supporters, all the supporters, right?

Even if you're on the free feed and you drop comments, whatever, right?

The engagement.

And I don't take it for granted.

And there's, there's no obligation here.

I just want to express my genuine gratitude over these years.

I've had a lot of years that have been listening forever.

But a lot of years been since the blogging days, right?

And since making that decision, I've been able to go deeper on the research.

As you've seen this year, right?

Um, deep dives improve the video side of the show.

And I want to start building this towards where I want this project to go long term, right?

I'm currently scouting to find a video editing course to figure out how to make these video edits pop even better.

Because that's a continuous improvement process.

Uh, I'm working on doing more appearances.

I've got some, I've already got a few lined up for 26.

I want to do a lecture tour of some kind.

I know I keep saying that, but I, my play is so full of stuff.

I just don't know how I'd squeeze that in.

I want to make that happen this year.

And I'm pushing hard to make the show better in general across Patreon, the free feed and this YouTube, right?

I also want to complete writing to books this year.

So if anything, I'm busier than ever.

I'm just more focused right now.

And this has been a dream for a long time.

I don't want to dismiss that, but more than anything, this is a commitment.

So thank you for being a part of this.

And I want to keep earning it, right?

So thank you so much.

That was, that was the big reveal, right?

Big speech, right?

That was the big reveal.

So, but there are other non podcast highs and lows.

These are the personal highs and lows, right?

This next part of the show.

I got my twin peaks tattoo sleep done.

Look, it's a win.

I'm taking it as a win.

I was so tired of doing tattoos.

It's just like a pain in the butt, right?

And it's expensive.

But it hurts.

It hurts.

And then you got to stay out of the water for two, three weeks.

It's a pain in the butt.

But the, the sleep finished up around the same time as the gray lodge analysis finished up, right?

And like I said, I'm finishing the book this year for sure.

I want to finish it by February March.

That's my plan.

We'll see.

Maybe a lecture.

I want to see how much interest is in the book before I commit to doing another twin peaks project.

I know it's not everyone's thing.

But it's a passion project.

I love it.

So, I don't know.

The heart wants what it wants.

So I definitely want to make a lecture happen.

Preferably up in Seattle.

We'll see.

Stay tuned for more on that.

Another personal win.

Rock your picture show.

I go over year.

Me and Josie both won the trophy for the best costume for Frank and Ferdinand.

Oh my god.

Janet.

So that was a big deal.

We'll talk about more on breaking social norms.

If you're into that, check that out on the 20, on the bringing social norms.

We'll do a wrap up show too.

I got a bunch of cool mailbox.

And this is something fun that I actually picked up from Super Retro, which is a show I love and adore.

If you're in nostalgia in 80s, 90s pop culture stuff, I always recommend Super Retro.

It's one of my favorite shows.

I look forward to it every week.

And they do this cool thing mailbag segment where people send them stuff and they open it and they talk about what's in the box and stuff like that.

And I was like, I should do that.

I've had people send me stuff skinny fresh.

I mean stuff over the years.

I'm like, damn, I should have filmed all of that.

Man, I hate that.

I mean, skinny fresh.

I mean, tons of dope stuff.

Maybe I can like revisit the stuff in a way.

Maybe I'll do that sometime.

But I started filming those and posting them on my Instagram.

So I love doing the mailbags.

What else?

I fixed a bunch of stuff like a real man that share.

Like I said, I'm trying to like, I'm trying to cut expenses.

So I started to do a little more DIY.

I replaced a circuit breaker in my house.

I had to call my friend who's an electrician.

We'll call him juicy J called juicy J.

He helped me fix his breaker that went out at the last second.

I had to go fix this thing.

I replaced a clutch in my truck with Jimmy the Jackhammer.

He I needed him.

I couldn't have done that myself to which work.

But yeah, a lot of a lot of big big uh big moves with the personal manly repairs.

And then this one isn't me really, but I'm claiming it as me.

I had a friend.

I'm gonna keep it anonymous.

I don't think he would carry probably once me to say it, but I don't know.

I get weird because I don't know if he wanted me to air their personal stuff out, but I had a friend who had his first baby boy.

I'm very excited for him.

I'm gonna live like Karrie's to him, you know, because I don't have any kids.

So very excited.

In fact, I want to say he said I'm his godparent.

I think I don't know.

I could maybe, maybe.

Um, I'm just joking.

But I was a big deal.

So shout out to you know who you are.

Then also took a very cool course from Professor Diana Pasalka.

I'm gonna get her on the podcast because she's got a new book coming out.

Very excited for that.

She's one of my favorite researchers ever.

As you know, I do breaking social norms and we cleared 500,000 downloads over there.

It's actually higher than that because speaker doesn't integrate the Spotify statistics, but whatever we're calling it good.

So that was a big one.

And then my favorite moment, my favorite personal high of the year, we got to go up to Twin Peaks to meet Cheryl Lee, Mary Reaver and Ray Wise.

I posted the images on the Instagram and I did a breaking social norms episode about this.

If you're interested, I got to see Keanu Lodge.

I talked about a whole experience there.

Um, and if you wonder if you're like, why do you keep referencing breaking socials?

Well, it's because like a cult symbolism is more of a show where I present research breaking socials is more of a personal lifestyle show where I'm also like red-pilling Josie.

Sometimes she's red-pilling me.

Like we've been arguing about the NFL being rigged for a while now.

But we talk about relationship, personal life stuff, all kinds of fun stuff.

So if you're in the, if you're in a my show, you check it out, you know, it's, it's a great time.

In fact, I lost some listeners who just exclusively listen on breaking socials now.

So because it's a little more engaging it's back and forth.

Then I had some lows this year, right?

I had a free, my shirts.

The shirt game is drama for me.

I had a free feed loser shirt that I, I had so many people ask me for it and then nobody bought them.

So I sold my last one this year.

Um, also reran the George Bush shirts and and the Trump shirts with the scull and bones.

I again printed too many of those off.

So I got, I got a certain presales or something.

Another low share on the fan still has me blocked.

Bummer.

Um, second worst, my trumped arrangement syndrome, flaring up, watching all these technical crats that billionaires take us down this new world order path.

Back in January, I was in a low spot January February.

I was feeling real low and, um, but I do feel like the tide is shifting that people are starting to come around in my view on this.

And the only reason this isn't number one on my list is because I do realize that, uh, through my red filled daddy's that this is a lot of theater and ritual when you get into politics.

It is kind of a loose dealer.

So I get that, right?

But I never know how scared to be like I'm paranoid too, right?

But by far, the worst is, uh, when I lost Eva, my, my, my puppy, um, that was a tough loss because she was, she was very needy.

Uh, she was a very sick dog.

And you know, it's very difficult to do that.

But, you know, you got to be there for your pups.

You got to be there for them.

And we did it.

So that was a terrible, terrible time.

Now finally, predictions.

This is the fun part of the show.

We're going to review the results of my predictions from last year and make some for next year.

Okay.

Let's recap 2025's predictions and see which ones I got right.

We talked about diddy.

I did made some predictions back then.

I said, look, Jay Z is going to get named here.

They had an accuser out there.

Um, and I was like, it ain't going to be over for Jay Z yet.

2025 is going to be a bad year for Jay Z.

Wrong.

I was wrong about that.

Jay Z is still chilling.

And he's doing the PC move that you'll see these celebrities do just got real quiet.

He'd be on the plane real low in the cut real low.

Right.

Now, I'd also talked about diddy was a fed and Dave should be able to even supported that with his new standup.

So mixed, but mostly wrong.

My other prediction, TikTok, I had a prediction that I actually thought it was not going to be banned because at the time, there was all this thread of it being banned.

It was a big scare, right?

I said, no way.

This is too big of a propaganda engine to be to be to be banned.

And I was right.

That one was true.

Very true.

Now it's being bought by some technocrat fascist conglomerate with CIA's Oracle and Larry Ellison who's buying up all the mainstream media.

So we're going to get just pummeled with the right wing propaganda like Fox News.

That's going to be all the news now.

Then we had Luigi.

I said, look, the US government is going to push gutting control.

And that's what we really need to be concerned about, specifically because the conservatives are in charge of all the government right now.

All three houses of the government, executive legislation and judicial basically.

Judicial supposed to be a non-political thing, but we all read the writing on the wall.

So it was, I said, I said, it would be very strange if there was any gun control measures past in 2025.

And it kind of happened, right?

If you go to Google, the AI results says, yes, there was significant state level, gun control legislation in 25.

So not federal.

So that's how I'm giving this one a mix.

So 33 states passed 89 new laws focusing on areas like the switches, disarming abusers, holding the industry accountable and tweaking some existing laws, federally actions of all Supreme Court rulings, and some proposed bills and so on.

So again, kind of mixed.

Another big prediction I made is daylight savings because everyone was talking about getting rid of daylight savings or making it permanent, I should say whichever one.

And I was like, no, no, no, no, this is going to change.

I predicted there will be no change because I had done a show about daylight savings being conspiracy based on corporate interests origins.

And the politicians, you'll see they constantly use this as a threat to like, oh, we're going to get rid of this.

Everyone hates changing their clock's twice a year.

And I said, no, no, no, there's too many lobbyists involved.

Too many nerds.

And it's true.

And I was dead right about that.

They even teased they were going to change it.

They've been teased in the whole time.

It's not happening.

As long as the corporate slave masters run this joint, it ain't happening.

Then my number one prediction was UFO disclosure because in the dark path in 2017, I talked about how 2025 was supposed to be the year that happened and mixed, right?

They're still kind of teasing it.

Not officially.

I'm not calling this one a win though, because I don't think so.

They haven't proven nothing yet.

And maybe Spielberg's the guy they're waiting to put the nail in the coffin.

Who knows?

So the results are too correct, one wrong and two mixed.

So pretty good.

Better than usual results.

So let's go to 26 and get you going to your New Year's Eve party.

I was super paranoid about this year.

But the real question is, is that the right move or not?

Because for example, right?

Like I said, in January, my TDS was at an all time high and I was really paranoid.

I bought a bunch of golden silver.

And guess what turned out to be the right move?

Guess turned out to be the biggest mover of the year, golden silver.

So now, my man, maybe I'm on to something.

So for 26, here's three predictions.

Number one, let's go economic.

Number one, that AI bubble, I think it's going to explode because they think because these tech nerds are running everything and these tech nerds are obsessed with sci fi and they're possessed with sci fi and they think this is going to be real.

They want the AI to be the answer so bad.

They want so bad to replace you with an AI bot at whatever job you're working.

But for my amateur opinion and my usage of the AI apps, it ain't happening, Chief.

Does it make some killer videos and stuff?

Yeah, it does.

Are they going to replace humans?

I mean, we're not even close yet.

So I think that AI bubble is going to pop.

And the crypto is may also be hurt by this because there's too many bad actors involved in crypto now, right?

That doesn't take away the potential for the investment.

I'm just saying that I'm a little more layering now, right?

Because people have a lot of bad tastes in their mouth that the pump and dumps and the Trump coins and stuff that don't have any utility value.

If you're going to invest, you got to invest in the right stuff, which is why you got to listen to James with man from copy my crypto.

Political is my second prediction.

I believe you know who isn't going to make it through the year.

I don't know if that's politically or physically.

I've seen tons of videos explaining his health issues and he keeps insisting that he's in this superior shape.

But boy does he not look good to me, right?

I think we see him looking like sleepy Joe with a stroke you know, it's crazy because it's like one time you see him sleeping and the next he's like on on brand Trump like custom people out and action crazy.

And I think they're filling him with uppers and meth, which is what he was accusing sleepy Joe back in 24.

And I'm going to guess both of those things are true, right?

These guys are too old.

They're too old for this job.

It's this demanding.

And you know, this isn't me wishing anything upon him.

I'm just saying I can't see this going on physically or politically 12 more months.

I know it's a bold prediction.

They might take steps to remove him.

I don't know.

I don't know how it's going to look between the Epstein files and between his health.

All I know is that when he says something's up, it's really down and vice versa.

So when he's like, oh, I'm the healthiest man in the world.

One on the banana peel, one on the grave.

Okay.

I'm not saying that I wish that.

I'm just saying like if I was to predict like, I don't know, like this doesn't look good from a lot of fronts.

I think they're going to start posturing something.

Number three, pop culture.

Let's make a pop culture prediction.

People are going to bail on social media.

I think social media is so full of bots and AI video slump and propaganda that the people will have had enough.

I'm not saying it's going to shut down entirely.

I'm saying the usage is going to reduce incredibly.

And that's when people might come back to the real stuff on the podcast realm.

Not these corporate shields with these celebrity guests and polished videos.

I think people are going to be waking up to this technology, new world order push and they're going to be disgusted.

And the propaganda being pushed on social media.

And then a bonus prediction.

Number four, false flags season.

That's right.

They they false flags are happening regularly, right?

But I'm predicting there's going to be a big one this year.

And you probably know who might be involved.

I don't know.

We'll see.

All right.

That's my bonus one.

Those things all sound scary.

But in conclusion, 2025 was a wild year.

Will 26 bring more chaos or will it bring more peace?

I don't know.

Either way, I'm going to be right here to provide you my opinions.

My ideas, my insight on pop culture, symbolism and movies, TV.

So say subscribed.

You know, and my apologies and man, so I'm going to ask you to sub to my YouTube channel about a million times this year because I want to make that 100,000 followers happen.

I need it.

So if you're already there, thank you.

I check the comments generally daily on their, if you have high points, give me them high points.

I'll be eternally grateful.

That's all I can hit this goal of 100,000 subs and I can shut up about it, right?

Because I got a lot of time to make up for it.

I got kicked off of there too many times.

I need to get back up.

So if I'm, if I'm not getting them high points, I'm not going to those subs.

I'm going to be real sad, real sad guy.

But yeah, go check out the YouTube, add a call symbolism links are always in the show notes.

And look, I'm going to, I'm going to ramp up with my, my sign off.

And I do mean this for 26.

I know we talked about a lot of scary stuff.

But if you follow, and I don't care what religion you follow, me personally, being an Orthodox Christian, I, it's nice because in a way, it takes a lot of pressure off because you just put your faith in God and be like, you know, and you can say that's a cop out.

But I'm saying it's like, look, I'm just going to try to worry about me.

Try to be the best person I can be for my family, for what my religion tells me to do.

I'm going to try my best to do that.

And like, that's what I can really work on.

Try to maintain that and not get consumed with these other things, right?

So when I sign off, I want you to, I want you to hear me.

I want you to feel this, right?

When I sign off, every time I say stay positive, and I want you to do that.

We're going to stay positive together.

Thank you for being a part of this show.

Thank you for all these big moves we made along the way.

Until next time, stay positive.

, stay positive.

Thank you.
