Shit Gets Deep

Well, What can we say folks... We had some extremely esteemed guests on for our year end special. OBVIOUSLY our Beyond The Tracks Podcast Brother TJ had to be a repeat guest and part of our second annual year end spectacular, but he also brought on his co host The Infamous R.O. and the guest of honor Mikey Shu for our conversational pleasure. Mikey is the best hypeman in the biz for his company 8 Mile Vodka (Which we may or may not have imbibed on heavily) We got an awesome insight on how things have come about for Mikey and this awesome new company. And also got some fantastic stories about everything music related from DJ Godfather to Jelly Roll. If you hang around till the end you can hear the most intense 2Pac vs. Jay Z discussion (maybe more than discussion) than has ever been had on wax... Cheers!!!!

Take a trip with the boys down the current lane of travel… the holiday season. Today, we discuss all things holiday, fail at grasping other religion’s traditions and customs, make light of the accidental early demise of an elf on the shelf, and much more. Probably NOT the episode to listen to whilst driving in your car with the kids in the back seat. There may have been several Christmas spoilers laid out in this one, or possibly ALL the Christmas spoilers. But Don’t blame us for being the ones to break it to your children that the Jolly Fat One is merely a figment of their imagination. You’ve been warned, so if you’re Amish, pull up a chair to your electric fireplace heater… and enjoy some hot cocoa while we once again realize that EVERYTHING is a conspiracy, even Christmas. Cheers!!!

Eloquent, entertaining, enlightenment. This man had a real way with words, and possibly his finest attribute was his ability to make you think in ways you hadn’t considered previously. Today’s episode is one we consider massively past due. This fellow has been referenced numerous times in the past episodes we have recorded, but honestly the guy needed an entire episode dedicated to him our love for Alan Watts. Did we spend an inordinate amount of time verbally blowing the guy for his insights and viewpoints? YES WE DID… But with good reason! A modern philosopher, and possibly the individual who single handedly gave the western world the Cliff Notes version of eastern mysticism and religious viewpoints. Alan Watts was a true Gem. Hopefully we were able to give him his due, and maybe we introduce you to his brilliance so he may posthumously affect how you view and interact with the world as well. Cheers!

When it comes to music, the boys will never run out of angles to discuss and ponder upon. But this episode we tried to focus on the individuals who have changed the path of culture and society with their musical contributions. Some in more of a cult of personality way than others, some strictly through their music, but what it came down to was certain people's propensity to be undeniable with their talents. Someone who's light shines so bright you can't help but stare right into it. We take a moment to reflect on all the folks that have inspired us, and generations of others through the medium of music. Cheers!!

Every day we have little things that happen to us which mostly go unnoticed, but later on stick out as something being just a little off. Weather, it was something out of place, something happening twice almost the exact same way, something that just turns up out of nowhere after being lost, or things that you swear have already taken place, and just happened to happen again making you question your sanity. Most of the time, it is plausible that it really is just our minds playing tricks on us. But other times, the black cat walks past the doorway twice in the exact manner and it makes all the hair on your neck stand up. These little “glitches” are fun to think about when they sporadically happen, but when you’re on a run of them happening more frequently, you sometimes just have to throw your hands up and assume you have tapped into the code and you are getting a bit too close to the ring. So pay a bit closer attention, keep an eye out for these Déjà vu moments, and keep track of the glitches that seemingly randomly have you scratching your head wondering whether you are losing your marbles. Join us on our little venture into what makes these moments important and how they can affect you as they take place. Cheers!

Throughout history there have been plenty of archeological discoveries that have shocked the world in amazement. There have also been a handful that have left everyone scratching their heads. This week the SGD boys dive into several of those that leave just about everyone wondering... what exactly happened here and where does this fit in into the time line of things. Out of place artifacts pop up throughout our history enough times that one must really re think the events that have preceded us and where exactly do they fit in. The London Hammer, the Drope Stones, and the Saqqara Bird are just a few of the interestingly out of place items that find their way into this weeks conversation. Please, join us for a little stroll down the road littered with misunderstood mystery items and come up with your own hypothesis as to where and more importantly WHEN these pieces of our past came from. CHEERS!

This week's episode gets a bit out there, but it starts rooted in FACT. Today the fellas discuss... things, events, places, occurances, that have most definitely happened or existed. The basic gist of the thing is there but some of the story is either muddy or still classified in some cases. But there are plenty of things that many people dismiss as conspiracy, or heresay, but when given a closer look appear to have quite a bit of substance behind the story. Join us for an entry level look at some plans, places, and secret operations that just might be completely true... or not. Definitely don't take our word for it. And DON'T contact us at any of our socials. CHEERS!!!

The pirate chef is broken and would do anything to get fixed and back (no pun intended) on the good side of father times effects. Long story short, he's old, and rickety, and is having trouble with the old spinal column and surrounding tissue. That being said, there are many ways to get patched back up and on our merry way, just by using some time honored methods that most likely use ingredients you already have around the house, or from a quick trip to any supermarket. Sure it's Hippy Dippy, sure it's Woo Woooo, sure it is Nature Boy.... BUT IT WORKS!!! Most of the time, all the time. And we don't care why. So please enjoy some stories of some unfortunate injuries, and some little bio hacks that can get ya feelin better in a hurry. Enjoy yourselves.

East vs West, who did it better? A question for the ages and definitely 2 distinctly different flavors. Now The irony of this week’s episode is not lost on us. Two middle aged white dudes, waxing philosophical on hip hop/rap. But for us, the peak of the East coast vs West coast “feud” was smack dab in the middle of our most influential years. Rap music was more mainstream than it ever had been. Biggie vs Pac was front page news, and the line in the sand was drawn between the gritty, in your face New York centric sound and the slightly more laid back grooves of the west coast. Join us this week as we break down the impossible debate. CHEERS!

Greetins Cretans, It's been a loooong time since the fellas have dove into a Simulation specific episode... Since Episode 14 in fact. Yet here we find ourselves 60 some episodes later, still trying to wrap our pea brains around the absolutely fascinating fact that we may quite possibly be living in a computer based reality, projecting our perceived existence onto a holographic field of electrically charged particles. Which at this point should be every bit as believable as the current state of affairs. BUT we won't let that get us down, we will just attempt to entertain y'all by giving you our two cents on the matter.... CHEERS!
