Welcome to another Poop Chronicles episode! We’re once again joined by Jon Bonessi who transforms from Jerbil the Googler to our special guest for this episode all about poop and the impact it has on our communities, daily lives, and science! 

Did you know a few years ago Bill Gates brought a jar of poop to a public event? Find out what he was doing with it and how it could change the landscape we live in during this episode. Then dive into the Conspiracy Corner as we consider why so much effort is being put into the way we use our natural output (poop). Plus, we take it off-world to report on innovations in the works for what the astronauts got brewing up in space (also poop). Finally, we have a sh*tty (but good) reason why you might consider eating less meat.

We talk to our favorite conspiracy podcaster Isaac Weishaupt, host of Occult Symbolism and Popular Culture! He is an expert on all things esoteric and is just as obsessed with pop culture as we are. It’s a winning combination that makes his show incredibly entertaining and informative. Isaac comes on to talk to us about the world of conspiracy podcasting, early influences like William Cooper and David Icke, and how he and Micaela met when they started a dialogue about the new conservatism and hatred that has infiltrated conspiracy truther culture. We also discuss Isaac’s new series chronicling his journey into the occult symbolism in the mythology of Twin Peaks, The Gray Lodge. Be warned,THIS episode is full of spoilers for all Twin Peaks episodes (including the return), Fire Walk With Me, and the Twin Peaks books (The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, The Secret History of Twin Peaks, Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier.

Illuminotme Lyrics 

Illuminati 

You can not me

You can keep your fucking money

I don’t want hot pokers in my ass 

for eternity

I don’t need the human approval 

Keeping my soul’s removal

From a wise man I did hear

“Fuck  your boos-

I’ve seen what makes you cheer”

Fuck you Illuminot me

Fuck you
