The Post Relevant Podcast has emerged from its magical initiation and is now riding on the wings of the podcast's spirit owl across the astral realms. We are also simultaneously roaming the streets at night to catch other wild owls to collect more wisdoms for our wisdom sack. We are ALSO whistling into the ether as a call to the heavens to unlock a space in a wall that has no door. But wait, a key has arrived in the mail.... the key of Bee! (it might actually be a box of bees, let me put this box in the freezer and maybe it'll quiet down)

Welcome back to the PRP season 3: Twin Peaks: the Return: the DECODE episode 7. Hosts Phil Ristaino and Justin Epifanio put their ears to the wall in hopes of deciphering episode 7 of Lynch and Frost's magnum opus. Does Diane think 'Fuck You!' means 'More coffee?' Why does Gordon Cole have a framed image of a flying ear of corn? How does Mr C intimidate the Warden with a simple mention of 'Joe McClusky?' Who digitally painted out the windows on the FBI's plane? When is it appropriate for Dougie to 'squeeze his hand off?' We're trying to answer these questions and more, honest. We thought we heard the answers coming from one side of the room, near the lamp, but when we go over there, it sounds like the answers might be coming from the other side of the room. Its just plain weird.

Plus! Justin breaks down Dougie's instinctual FBI action moves. Also! Lots more amazing Polypores music! So Rad! And even more! Wherever that humming sound is coming from, I gotta say, it is making us all feel so JUICY.

David Lynch Forever....

At the stroke of Midnite, on the Eve of All Hallows, the Post Relevant Podcast lands at the foot of your shadowy path. A being of pure magic, it has taken the form of Pallas Athena's cosmic owl, newly descended from the dreamtime of Mt Olympus to shock you into epiphany. "Who are you?" you entreat. But no message is forthcoming, only the steady, silent stare of your own destiny sinking its strong talons into the bones of your soul. Between the two eclipses a portal into the higher realms has manifested your ultimate path laid out in front of you. Do you dare step into your highest timeline? You've prayed for such a sign for decades. Are you even allowed to refuse a call such as this? Is this a dream made flesh? Has the entirety of reality followed you down into the rabbit hole? Only the foolish and the brave can meet their fate face to face and charge into the palisades amongst the bells of victory....

The Post Relevant Podcast season 3: Twin Peaks: the Return: the DECODE episode 6 has finally arrived. Two months in the making, this episode intertwines in-depth interpretation of Lynch and Frost's 6th episode of their legendary 2017 Twin Peaks surrealist miniseries with stories of host Phil Ristaino's mystical experiences between the blood moon lunar eclipse and partial solar eclipses of September 2025, and on into October's travels, where he turned a mighty 55 years old. From Atlanta to Upstate NY to Nashville, TN, we hear the esoteric ravings of a man becoming a wizard, all while trying to figure out the mysteries inside of Twin Peaks. And in the middle of it all, hear the story of Phil's meeting with an OWL one fateful evening....

Join Phil and co-host Justin Epifanio as they dissect, discover and dazzle their way through TP:TR episode 6. This is an episode of the PRP like no other, and nothing will ever be the same again....

Also featuring the amazing music of Polypores! And! The return of PRP co-host Brother Andy Ristaino! Its beyond epic! We've tripped the light fantastic and dove headlong into the unknown! Come with us! Come with us! And may the pinecone that glows upon the mysteries be forever alight.

David Lynch forever...

A kitten purrrrrzzzzz. A bee buzzzezzzz. A podcaster cazzzzzttttttzzzzzz. A Lion's Gate returnnnnzzzzzz!!!!! Is the universe exploding? Not. Quite. Yet............

Its the Post Relevant Podcast's triumphant trip back through the Lion's Gate once more again, but this time, with bees! Strap on your mesh spacesuit and try not to get stung (by the insight) as hosts Phil Ristaino and Justin Epifanio descend back into decoding Twin Peaks: the Return (episode 5). Ride the wheels within wheels within wheels across six-sided hives echoing through time while we follow Mr Strawberry on a tour over haunted cities, sweet rides and/or exploding cars, messy desks, textured lips, pink triplets, and the most delicious green tea latte you've ever been forced to drink by default. And who are you in this story? A zombied-out alpha male obsessed with coffee? A methd-out, poorly mustachioed mumbler? A lovely, disinterested casino wallflower? A demon-possessed wizard criminal who sets off all alarms ever? Are you....Mr Strawberry? On second thought, don't tell me....

Plus! The even-more-triumphant return of PRP season one Lion's Gate guest Mark Ristaino, as he recounts surviving a hit-and-run! (not a joke)

And! More Polypores! Sound effects! Extra foley! Manifestation techniques! Red and yellow! More! Synchronicities abound throughout the only podcast to explain where to get a 3 foot shoe horn! Ignore at your own peril, and don't forget to purrrrrrrrrr.......

David Lynch forever...

Twin Peaks: the Return: the DECODE episode 4.

SONNY JIM IS BACK IN. Full stop.

June 1st, 2025 has arrived. We all knew this day would come. 2000 years ago, when the first western savior was born to a virgin in a manger beneath the Star of Bethlehem, the prophecy was set in motion: "Yay, verily, a special child would rise again when the world of shadows most needs him. This savior of the 3rd age wouldst appear impossibly from behind the door of red, in the Court of Lancelot. His name shalt be known only as "Sonny Jim." And Sonny Jim shalt be back on in. " And now it has finally come to pass....

Join Post Relevant Podcast hosts Phil Ristaino and Justin Epifanio as we decode Twin Peaks: the Return episode 4. We seek to understand the adventures of Dougie Jones, aka Mr Jackpots, as he wins $425,000.00 and then pees, fails to dress himself, stares in the mirror, eats pancakes, and most importantly, amuses his angel of a son, the impossible boy known to one and all as Sonny Jim.

Also: We marvel over Michael Cera as Marlin Brando. We ponder the color yellow. We remember the owls (are not what they seem. ) We talk extra low. We are exonerated in Courts of Law. We watch "A Boy and His Atom" while failing to observe electrons. And we try to fix our hearts or die.

And, in the extra secret end section, we debate what might happen if we met ETs in a Dark Forest.

But really, I'm just being coy, because this episode is all about the debut of the spanking new smash hit song (in Sweden) entitled "Sonny Jim (Is Back In)." It will change your life and show you how your heart can also be 'so full.'

Prepare the way, young warrior! The moment of Post Relevance hath finally arrived! The End of the End of Time is Nigh! Prepare ye! Prepare ye! Just do it already....

David Lynch forever...

Twin Peaks: the Return: the DECODE episode 3.

The Post Relevant Podcast hatches out of a bright red Easter egg and skitters diagonally across multiple dimensions with our decode of Twin Peaks: the Return episode 3!  You are in for another audio epic....

We follow everyone's favorite cosmic FBI agent Dale Cooper as he silently falls through space, warps through an electrical socket and assumes his new identity as the scourge of casinos far and wide known as Mr Jackpots! Hosts Phil Ristaino and Justin Epifanio discuss black holes, dirty old ladies, using a saltines box as a plate, the sound 'the ring' doesn't make and what that implies, and, of course, the first appearance of CHERRY PIE in Twin Peaks: the Return. 

Plus! A special message from his royal highness God! You're welcome! 

And! Part 2 of my interview with  Stephen James Buckley of Polypores, who's music is featured all over the episode. We talk "Under the Silver Lake" and "Twin Peaks." 

Celebrate the true beginning of the New Year with the Post Relevant Podcast Season 3 Episode 3. Its 119-time ‘in the back,jack’ for the rebirth of our savior, Cherry Pie....

David Lynch forever...

Twin Peaks: the Return: the DECODE episode 2.

The Post Relevant Podcast dares to go where no one dares to dare as we follow the owl's screech along a jagged path strewn with corn and backwards dreams across a multidimensional soap opera in order to glance into the deep puddles of Lynch's bubble gum mind. Or something similar...

Its a jumbo-sized episode as hosts Phil Ristaino and Justin Epifanio:

1. Talk and eat and talk some more.

2. Interview Stephen James Buckley of the music project Polypores (part 1 of a 2-part interview, to be exact).

3. Feature the music of Polypores all over the dang episode!

4. Do a deep dive decode of Twin Peaks: the Return episode

2 where we:

a. define what 'erstwhile' means

b. learn how to shut a man off by rubbing his jawbone

c. discuss the science of time and the nature of dreamtime

while occupying the Black Lodge, as well the Venus

and Saturn chairs and what exactly Laura Palmer is now.

d. marvel at Mr C's magical phone technology and his poor

communication skills with Philip Jefferies (this is Philip

Jefferies, right?)

e. Call Yoohoo's flavor 'vanilla' whilst not besmirching it.

f. tell tall tales of dreams of buses with no drivers.

In between all that is much much more talking. Its a big ep! Drink it down like a cosmic Yoohoo!

David Lynch forever...

Twin Peaks: the Return: the DECODE.

The Post Relevant Podcast looms over the city. This isn't your mama's podcast. Its the Post Relevant Podcast EXTREME!!!! Exclamation points!!!

Our decode of David Lynch and Mark Frost's magnum opus Twin Peaks: the Return begins in earnest as host Phil Ristaino and his new co-host (director and TV post-production coordinator) Justin Epifanio dig into TP: TR episode 1.

After an EXTREME intro to the show, Phil ponders the loss of David Lynch, the LA fires, and reads from Lynch's book "Catching the Big Fish."

Then Phil and Justin sift through the ashes left behind by the phoenix-like first episode. Who's watching who do what with the mysterious glass box in NYC? Who is Agent Dale Cooper working for now? Is Mr C stronger than the Hulk? Why does Justin like Buckhorn, South Dakota so much? Is Lucy an idiot or just un-informed? Are the special effects in this show fake-looking on purpose? Am I free to go?

All that, plus many, many more words spoken! Plus! Deep thoughts! Electricity! Eye-hole bite-marks! Much! Much! More!

E X T R E M E ! ! ! ! !

Buckle up, buttercup. This podcast's going for a riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidddddde!

Its the mighty return of the son of the Post Relevant Podcast, season 3! Run! Run for your lives!!!!

Rest in Paradise forever David Lynch....

Twin Peaks: The Return: the DECODE...

The Post Relevant Podcast has once more again returned! And also, we're back! Rising up out of the gigantic hole in the sun (look it up) like a phoenix bird who's firey wings have been extra lit on fire, just in case. And soon, once we've shed the eggshell that is the sun (just roll with this metaphor) we will explode into a million stories, gently falling on the minds of one and all like snow and stardust...

The podcast is back with Season 3. And we're leveling up - this time we are decoding Twin Peaks: The Return. It's The Post Relevant Podcast: Season 3: Twin Peaks: The Return: The DECODE! Get ready for the most decode of all time.

We honor our dearly departed fearless leader of weirdos David Lynch and his still living/still writing co -creator Mark Frost by trying to work out just what the hell they are talking about for at least 18 episodes (probably more) of pie eating awesomeness.

Join host Phil Ristaino and his new co-host (director and television post-production coordinator) Justin Epifanio for PRP season 3 episode 0 as they prepare themselves (and you, the audience) for a deep dive into translating Lynch's surrealist magnum opus. We're damn well going try our damnedest to explain this tricky fish, and if we fail, well, the coffee and donuts are on us.

Rest In Paradise David Lynch forever.....

Parles vous, Post Relevantinizers! Grateful to have you return from the Dead (metaphorically speaking) to the Post Relevant Podcast. You found your miracle (or you maybe just jumped the fence) and waded into the crowd of online onlookers to grok and jibe most froogaly with the rhythmic geometries of the music emanating from the Grate Jerry!

We are resurrected with episode 25, and what an episode it is! Guest host Carl Ristaino (visual artist and host of the 'Welcome to the Art Shed' podcast - you may have also heard him on PRP episodes 10 and 20) is back, and he is posted up in the legendary Art Shed to interview one of his Dionysian heroes, the Ghost of Jerry Garcia! Exclamation points!!!! How did Carl manifest such a spectral interview with the Ghostly Grandfather of the Grateful Dead?? Is he some kind of wizard, or did he just crack the right kind of can of beer open before he hit 'record?' Uh uh uh.... you'll have to listen to the show to find out....

Some questions that will get answered on this epic episode: What other famous ghosts live in the Art Shed? Is your immortal soul the size of a salamander's butthole? Why did Jerry want to buy the great pyramid? What is skaag? What was famously-afroed painter Bob Ross' relationship with Jerry's songwriting? Did Grateful Doe go to heaven? And most importantly, why does Jerry have a grudge against the French? All this and more will be revealed in this Scarlet Begonia-colored, cocaine-fueled train of an episode, all scored to the amazing live music of the Grateful Dead. You will be saying 'Far out, man' in ectoplasmic word bubbles above your own Steal-Your-Face and dancing like the Do Da Man by the end of this PRP for the ages. Faaaarrrrrrr ouuuuuuttttttt mmmmaaaaaaaaaaannnn!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome back for the first time and ever and always again to Post Relevant Podcast episode 24. Its time to resolve your opposites and check your mates as we spelunk way down into the depths of our own metaphysical mastery in pursuit of the Transcendental Object at the End of Time with rapper and chess master Anthony the Goat Cheese Koz aka the learned rebel known as Cheese!

Host Phil Ristaino tries to keep up with this foolish sage as he sits down with Cheese and special returning guest Laurelle Rethke in her legendary NYC crystal shop the Faerie Den. Listen with eager ears as Cheese schools us all in the deeper symbology of the game of chess. If you want to understand why the masonic power players on the worlds stage make the moves they do, this is a must-listen episode.

Along the way, we discuss taking acid and applying for college, Carl Jung stealing a rich man's yacht, why we need a critical mass of individuals striving to resolve the opposites within their own souls, and how the Grand Puba of chess insists extraterrestrials told him chess is the way to avert an alien invasion. To name a few things. Its deep, bruh. Honestly, this episode is all killer, no filler.

Then! Phil throws on some beats, and Cheese and he get on the mics and freestyle for all you sinners. Its good crack, as they say in Glasgow.

All this, plus hear some of Cheese's new tune 'Crackpot.' Its time to Be be be be be and do do do do do so we can all Do Be Do Be Do! This is an episode guaranteed to blow holes in your ego and grow your soul... (episode not guaranteed).

Find Cheese's work online by going to Extraterrestrial Chess on YouTube, and hear his new tune 'Crackpot' by looking for Cheese Koz on YouTube. You can also find Cheese on instagram at www.instagram.com/cheesuschrist9
