  • Quote (Henry, 49:57): “If you’re briefing Matt Gaetz, you’re lying to him. I think that is literally what's happening.”
• Parody of the wild swirl of conspiracy, government secrecy, political posturing, and sci-fi fantasy in American public discourse.

7. FEATURE INTERVIEW: George Clinton & Danny Bedrosian on Funk, Aliens, and Afrofuturism (53:34–80:54)

Key Topics & Insights:

  • Quote (George Clinton, 57:18): "We bring him. I'm telling this is the time for the aliens to come back. The Anunnaki is on their way."
• Personal UFO Sighting: Clinton recounts a detailed UFO/strange encounter he and Bootsy Collins had near Toronto—describe a mysterious globular light hitting their car, reminiscent of mercury. The incident so shook them they didn’t speak of it for years.
  • [60:08] "We saw it coming straight down... hit the car... It was like mercury in a thermometer... it hit the car and rolled off the car and beads."
  • The incident left Clinton and Collins speechless for years due to its reality, especially since they were stone-cold sober after crossing the border.
• Conspiracies, Music Industry, Behold a Pale Horse: Clinton describes receiving the pre-publication manuscript for William Cooper’s infamous conspiracy theory book. He distributed copies to Prince and Warner Bros., and sees connections between the industry, government agents, and the band’s trajectory.
  • [64:02] "I printed up a million—gave to everybody, Prince, everybody had it. And when the book came out… it was the same book. I thought I had found Holy Grail."
• On U.S. Government, Propaganda & Hidden Agendas: Clinton suspects—without paranoia—that agencies tried to use P Funk the way they used jazz musicians (see: soundtrack of a coup d'etat) for covert government campaigns.
  • [65:27] "I believe all that kind of control—agencies and everything—have parts in those things that you don't… even have knowledge of."
  • He describes avoiding being a "face for some propaganda," always keeping a skeptical awareness, and giving fans questions, not dogma.
• On Afrofuturism: The concept is woven throughout funk music; Clinton sees musical and cultural roots in Africa as a through-line for human civilization, music, and cosmic consciousness.
  • [73:27] "All of humanity is connected to Africa. Whatever that vibration is, that's the beginning of everything we do."
• Predictions for 2050: Clinton forecasts planetary dominance, new energy from the sun, living and dating off-world, and entering “Star Trek country” within 24 years.
  • [70:34] "We'll be off the planet. People will be dating robots. 24 years from now, you're going to be deep in Star Trek country."
• Sun Ra, Psychedelia, and Longevity: Talks about running parallel to Sun Ra, being part of multiple musical revolutions in America, and the cyclical nature of history and culture.
• Personal Philosophy: Now 85, Clinton is grateful, stays grounded by self-awareness and humor.
  • [75:39] "I'm having a good time... glad to be at the party at 85."
• On Holograms & Legacy: Already has a hologram in production since 2013; open to his digital afterlife but jokes he "wouldn't give a fuck" after death.

Notable Quotes:

• [57:26] — George Clinton: "The Anunnaki is on their way."
• [58:02] — "Magic and science are coming to that crossroad again, with whether you want to call them demons or aliens or entities."
• [64:11] — "Now I realize that had a lot to do with me having to go sit down in the industry... a lot of information."
• [75:02] — "I'm 85 years old now. I smoke a joint. I don't know nothing deep. I just—that's just the way I feel about it."

• Ed recommends the Billy Preston documentary, “Billy Preston: That’s the Way God Planned It,” lauding it as moving and informative.
• Personal plugs: Neon Genesis Evangelion, upcoming side stories live shows in Alaska, Kentucky, and Portland, plus Ed’s MC gig at the P-Funk Fest in Tallahassee.

[Henry Sowski]

That's when the cannibalism started. Side stories, yes.

[Ed Larson]

Hey man, before we get started. Oh, you have something you wanted to say?

[Henry Sowski]

Well, just because I'm so moved by what we're experiencing right now.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, the moon.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, the moon, the moon. I'm so moved.

[Ed Larson]

We looked at its ass.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, dude. I was looking at the footage from Artemis 2 and it's so beautiful. It's so amazing to see humans farther than any humans have ever gone.

[Ed Larson]

They got great shots of the earth. Everyone likes looking at the deserts that no one lives in. And you know, it's blurry somehow.

[Henry Sowski]

I'm. Honestly, I'm, I'm not, I'm not trying to talk. The Artemis 2 expedition, I think it's extremely wonderful. I did ask if we're doing anything. Sure, whatever. I know they're happy to be not here. So they're floating around the moon and I, you know, the first thing what I love, it's like, you know, but I think it's wonderful. Again, I'm trying to stay positive. Yesterday we're on the big like lpn call. All the, the crew is so like excitedly watching it live. You know, we're all watching it go around the moon and then they're like, look at these breath taking shots of the moon and it's pitch black. Yeah, yeah. It's the dark side of the moon, which is good. Good, I guess. Good. We're looking at it.

[George Clinton]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

But then they're like, we've never seen it before. Can you see it now? So we keep going around, right?

[Ed Larson]

It's like I've never seen all the desert either.

[Henry Sowski]

And then, you know, and then the guy named the, the crater after his dead wife. It's nice, right?

[Ed Larson]

He didn't do it. The stat. The other people did it.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, he didn't even think of it.

[Ed Larson]

From what I understand, the other astronauts are like renaming that crater after your dead wife.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, it's exploded in our backyard. Yeah, I told her to get away from the propane. I told her. And I can't believe my wife has turned into a piece of the moon. Yeah, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Some people name their. Why, you know, stars, you know, after,

[Henry Sowski]

like, oh, so I'm a hoe. Something I can hear. In heaven. Yeah, in heaven I can hear me like, oh, so I'm a hole.

[Ed Larson]

A hole that no one sees.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, oh, good. Oh, so I'm just a dark hole in a place that no one will ever see again. Of course. Because guess where I am right now, Mr. Astronaut Man. Oh, Mr. Astronaut man getting to do whatever he wants again. I'm trying to be hopeful.

[Ed Larson]

She's like, when the band you're in starts playing different tunes.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, I know what's going on here. Oh, how's Ms. Sheila that you're traveling around the moon with? How's she doing in her piss filled suit? Which is so a really good.

[Ed Larson]

They got pee pee poo poos on

[Henry Sowski]

a really good friend of mine from Hungry Ghost Press. Go check them out. Great blankets, T shirts, you know, like we've known him for a long time. They're over in Providence, Rhode island. And they, he. I'm stealing your story. He sent me this really funny story about him and his wife were on a vacation and they happened to talk to like what we just did. We just like sat next to a married couple. They just started kind of talking at a late night hotel bar having a night, an after drink. And they happen to sit next to this scientist that worked in all of the spacesuits. And they did the funny thing.

[Ed Larson]

Obviously I'm a scientist.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, I do. Hey, let's just say I'm out right now, you know, but they, they were explaining, you know, they. The funny thing of like, so poo poo pee pee, astronauts, all the things.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, they put the ass in astronauts,

[Henry Sowski]

you know, all that kind of stuff. And she's like, no, it's a serious problem. Is that due to the, the physical nature of traveling through space, these guys are in their pants all the time. They're pissing and, and vomiting because of the piss and the. All the time. It's a huge problem. And we have to make all these suits like, you know, like we know this, but we know that the Artemis 2 specifically the bathrooms went down so they have to go into the.

[Ed Larson]

Maybe they shouldn't have named it to

[Henry Sowski]

his dose. But they, they're all having to sit in their astronaut. Like the alt suits so they're all seeing the most beautiful sight that anybody has ever seen, no human will ever seen. And they're doing it sitting in diapers filled with poo poo and pee pee.

[Ed Larson]

They're going to get rashes.

[Henry Sowski]

It is the most symbolic moment about humankind that I can possibly think of is just sitting in your poop and your pee in a capsule. I, I don't know. But just like, you know, I'd be

[Ed Larson]

fine with smelling my own poo poo pee pee. I can handle that for like, I'd say a couple hours at least.

[Henry Sowski]

Have you been around piles of your stuff?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, it's awful, but it's mine. And you know, like, when, what do you mean when?

[Henry Sowski]

When have you just been around fetid growing piles of your own?

[Ed Larson]

Guess not growing, you know, but I have outside and been around it.

[Henry Sowski]

Welcome to side Stories. My name is Henry Sowski. I'm sitting here with Ed Larson. I know to begin the show when we finally gotten to our poo poo habits.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. Yeah, no, I, I had a great time watching the, the, the NASA launch on Netflix. You know, it was 10 hours long.

[Henry Sowski]

Good get for Netflix. Oh yeah, great get for Netflix.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

You know, that's huge because you can't have it over on CBS because they're going to and, and replace it with Byron Allen.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

No one's talking about how Byron Allen is making moves here. Like, Byron Allen beat everybody.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

He's a billionaire. Yeah. Did you know that?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, no, he owns the Weather Channel. Guy just, he owns the weather.

[Henry Sowski]

Anybody who's ever seen Byron Allen Comics Unleashed, right? It's not, it's not off the leash.

[Ed Larson]

Right. It's Comics Unleashed.

[Henry Sowski]

And they. For anybody who's ever seen this, anybody that has ever done a lot of drugs or have spent a lot of time watching television late, late at night, super, super drunk, you know, Byron Allen has comics on for his Comics unleashed show at 4 o' clock in the morning next to the infomercials where they have. He very clumsily tees up comics to do their well worn road bits on

[Ed Larson]

the show, as in the guise of. This is us having a conversation.

[Henry Sowski]

One of the single worst shows to ever exist around the art of comedy. I'd like to do it, please. Book us, please. Like, Byron Allen does this thing. He like, he'll go like, so tell me, so tell me, Sean, I heard you have a little bit of difficulty going camping with your grandmother, like in like out of nowhere, you know, and then they have to Launch into their bed. But he has taken over. Barry Weiss, the evil woman that is controlled CBS has given him the Colbert time slot.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Which is. We're just opening it up. They're purposely destroying the channel.

[Ed Larson]

It's a show that, I want to say. How long has it been on the air? I'm going to guess 20 years.

[Henry Sowski]

Comics Unleashed is a show that is supposed to play in the background while you wait for your grandmother to die in the hospital. 2006.

[Ed Larson]

I guess they're right all the way. So it's been on the air for 20 years. No one knows it exists. And now they're giving it one of the most coveted time slots in all

[Henry Sowski]

of quote, unquote, network television, which shows that it doesn't exist.

[Ed Larson]

This show used to be on after the show, after the Late show, after they replayed.

[Henry Sowski]

You remember that Carson Daly had that other horrific late, Late, Late night show. That was after the late night show. So it was like you had the Tonight Show. You had the second slot. Then you had the Carson D. Daily Show. Last Call. Yes, Last Call.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

With Carson Daly, which was just like. I don't. I don't even know. 17 years that show ran. Oh, my God.

[Ed Larson]

Jesus. That's how dead this slot is. Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

And he was famous. He. People knew who Carson Daly was.

[Ed Larson]

Well, because of mtv.

[Henry Sowski]

Yes. But also, maybe people know Byron Allen.

[Ed Larson]

They do. I mean, he's obviously very popular.

[Henry Sowski]

I guess so. That's never.

[Ed Larson]

I never seen him on the road.

[Henry Sowski]

No. Because why would he, you know, billionaire. He doesn't have to come up with a thing ever again.

[Ed Larson]

I don't think he ever has.

[Henry Sowski]

No.

[Ed Larson]

But I do. It's weird that I still like him. Somehow.

[Henry Sowski]

I just feel like. About what it is nothing nice to say. I don't know what he is. I don't know what he's like as a person. I have no idea about his comedic abilities. But I do know that Byron Allen has won.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. And objectively, here's something nice about Byron Allen. He has given a lot of opportunity to a lot of comedians that would have never gotten TV time.

[Henry Sowski]

Truly. Absolutely. It just happened to be at 3:00 in the morning.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Where it was. It was like. It was. It was to keep the television on. It was like television that was supposed to play on a television built into the side of a commercial space where you're waiting for a black car to pick you up at 2 o' clock in the morning.

[Ed Larson]

Okay. Would you rather watch Comics unleashed or Netflix's 10 Hours Dark side I realize it.

[Henry Sowski]

The thing is, is that again, we were so compelled to watch the footage of this and truly moved. Moved about it. We're not.

[Ed Larson]

We're not trashing us.

[Henry Sowski]

Well, they were. They had to be. We were being like. Again, I'm trying to be appropriately wonder filled. It's just a little difficult, but I will. But yes, only just because it's all just dark.

[Ed Larson]

It's one of those things. I can't believe we're going back to the moon. I can't believe going back to the moon in the middle of it happening. I was like, nah, yeah, yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

It's really sad. Truly sad.

[Ed Larson]

I'm such a prick.

[Henry Sowski]

Well, you know, also. I know, like, as a comedian, I also know because the way I feel is that I know that we're not that too dissimilar from other areas. And, you know, there's somewhere an astronaut who didn't make the cut for this. Sitting at a bar, just hating on these. Just be like, I'm sitting in their own.

[George Clinton]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

You think, yeah, I go farther. I could have went farther.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. I'm sitting in my shit right now.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah. You don't think I can sit in my shit? You don't think I can't sit in my fucking shit and look at the moon?

[Ed Larson]

I feel like now, whenever I learn a fact about space travel, I'm just disappointed. Well, like, this is the furthest they've ever gone. And I'm like, really? You ever got further than the fucking moon?

[Henry Sowski]

Get so many letters.

[Ed Larson]

Definitely far.

[Henry Sowski]

It's just this idea of we were so, you know, I'm like.

[Ed Larson]

I'm like, oh, I see, 2001, they went through a fucking hole.

[Henry Sowski]

Absolutely.

[Ed Larson]

They went back in time.

[Henry Sowski]

I'll say. I think truly our expectations were destroyed over the years. I think that's why we're like this. I think it's because we were fed.

[Ed Larson]

Jody Foster found her dead father. I remember, he's on the damn moon.

[Henry Sowski]

He's on the moon. But no, Eddie and I came of age. We have to remember this. And I imagine a lot of our audiences also kind of came of age during a time period when we were sold a bill of goods that we were gonna have fly in cars. Yeah. And we were going to be sleeping on the. Like with sleeping and vacationing on the moon. And now it's just like we're making this, like, big fanfare again in the year of our Lord 2026, which was like an old future year of all these astronauts being like, we're going to look at it again, and it's a little like, good.

[Ed Larson]

It's like. Like, how you making such a big deal if you're not even landing?

[Henry Sowski]

I just. We're gonna get letters filled with wonder about it. And I want NASA, even though they're a bunch of liars, I wonder why

[Ed Larson]

people care so much. I just.

[Henry Sowski]

I want those liars to continue to go to the moon. And I think in a really good. This is a good way to do this in spirit, is that one person who now maybe gets to go visit the moon.

[George Clinton]

Oh, man.

[Henry Sowski]

Is our friend. Friend of the show, Nick Pope.

[Ed Larson]

He would have loved this. He was like one day too late and couldn't go look at the other side of the moon.

[Henry Sowski]

We met him several times. We interviewed him for contact in the desert.

[Ed Larson]

Nick Pope is my first interview. Interview that has passed away.

[Henry Sowski]

I'm really glad. I'm glad that that's true, Eddie.

[Ed Larson]

And you're glad that he's the first.

[Henry Sowski]

No, I'm just saying I'm glad that it's the only one.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

And not everyone that you've ever met, because that means you're serial.

[Ed Larson]

I. I liked. I like Nick Pope. You know, I thought he was interesting.

[Henry Sowski]

You know, he was an interesting guy.

[Ed Larson]

He was a great first interview for me, to be honest with you.

[Henry Sowski]

And he obviously had some. He was. He was conservative. And I think that this is the one places that we can. We've talked about this before where under the tent of ufology, there's many different people and there's walks of life, and a lot of them are different shades of white, but his was specifically white. And he was a good guy to have a couple pints with. We joked around with him quite a bit. And he was deeply entrenched in the world.

[Ed Larson]

You could see Nick Pope late at the bar. Contact in the desert.

[Henry Sowski]

It was. Honestly, he was kind of a delight.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

In that way. I liked him. Not to be anything. The fact that I got to have beers with him, and even though we had serious conversations about UFOs, I found that when I saw the real him sucking back a couple, I kind of saw. I was just like, I like that guy. Yeah.

[George Clinton]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

No, he's dad. He was always had a quirky little smile on his face, little mischievous little

[Henry Sowski]

fingers, little kisses everywhere. And I just got to say, Nick, good on you. And now you get to go out into the grand mystery beyond and see all the truth for the very first time.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. I wonder what. What they're gonna do with his remains.

[Henry Sowski]

I want Some.

[Ed Larson]

I want some.

[Henry Sowski]

Bring it to here.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

I want some of his remains.

[Ed Larson]

I'll take a bone.

[Henry Sowski]

Honestly.

[George Clinton]

If.

[Henry Sowski]

If. If you do. If. If I would. I know about him is to be correct. Those should be put in a Pinta Guinness and given to his wife. Given to his glorious wife.

[Ed Larson]

They belong in a museum.

[Henry Sowski]

Well, that's. We'll get into a whole. We don't need to get into his wife. We don't need to talk about the controversial nature of his.

[Ed Larson]

We'll miss you, Nick.

[Henry Sowski]

We'll miss you, buddy. Yeah. And I'll see you when I see you on the dark side. On the dark side of the moon, where we will see nothing.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Because it is indeed.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. These NASA astronauts are like, this is a fine gig in the sky.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, tiny update. Tiny update.

[Henry Sowski]

It's an island adventure. Heck, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

It's Jeffrey time. Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

We're back in with an update. And my God, is it a nothing burger? But it is still something to think about. Ghislaine Maxwell has decided that she's gonna spill some names and some dirty secrets. She's. Some dirty secrets, some dirty secrets and some big wigs. Some dirty, dirty teak was. She said that she's gonna tell people she's singing like a little rapist bird because she wants to get out of jail.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. She's claiming that she has 25 untouchable men names made secret settlements with the victims.

[Henry Sowski]

The this we'll find out again. It's just Lane Maxwell. She's filled with absolute shit. She's trying to get out of jail.

[Ed Larson]

Even if she's telling the truth, they're not going to believe her. It doesn't matter.

[Henry Sowski]

It doesn't matter. Well, no, who knows? Oh no, because like right now we have no. There's no daddy. Right. There's nobody in charge. We're literally just a pedophile is completely running everything. So it doesn't matter. So with Ghislaine just Lane's trying to work her way out of jail still so she will name every other person that's not Donald Trump on the Epstein list just to say names. Like she's just going to say names like, we have the evidence. We don't need her evidence. We actually have the evidence. It has been shit fucked since day zero, but we have the evidence. We don't need any more evidence. We like she's just going to come out and say a bunch of names and try to get out of jail. President Trump might actually get like release her. Only reason why he might not only is because she's a woman and he hates women.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

But I also wonder if he'd do it just to make people angry as well. Because once the Iran war, like right now we're going to see tonight we're going to find out whether or not we're going to nuclear blast Iran. I imagine we're going to do a boots on the ground invasion of Iran. Right? They're doing all of this again. This is all about episode.

[Ed Larson]

Do anything.

[Henry Sowski]

Who knows? I bomb them a bunch.

[Ed Larson]

But we've been doing that anyway.

[Henry Sowski]

We'll find out. We're going to find out in a couple of hours.

[Ed Larson]

We certainly know it's not to save the citizens of Iran like we were first told.

[Henry Sowski]

I mean there is no purpose to the war. The only purpose of the war is for him to do something in order. He already said it again. We never have to ever think about any form of motive ever. Because he says it. He straight up says in that little speech that they released where he says, oh, we don't have time to care about Medicaid and insurance and all of these things because we're doing big boy things like winning wars and running wars. This is the only thing that he has ever wanted to do was to have his own baby war. And when he couldn't buy the Nobel Peace Prize, he was. Now he's saying, oh, now I'm a wartime president. And again, he's just doing it because he's a child with toys. He's not even. And because he's trying to distract from the fact that we all know that him and everybody connected to him or anybody that knows him or anybody that's ever trafficked with him at all in any way, any form of business, is probably a pedophile. And if not a pedophile, at least a rapist.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. Back to old Jizzy.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

You know, I don't think this is gonna help her at all. I think the only way that we'll believe her is if she ends up dead.

[Henry Sowski]

Well, that's what she's trying to avoid. Ghislaine Maxwell is not like Jeffrey Epstein. And the fact that Ghislaine Maxwell wants to live. Yeah, I think just Lane Maxwell, like Jeffrey Epstein. No. Knew Jeffrey Epstein was such a sociopath that I think that on some level he was bandying all of these ideas, like whether he committed suicide, allowed to commit suicide, or was fully murdered. He was already. You knew that that was on the table.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, of course you run in that world. It's like being in the mob. Yes. He knew one day you're gonna get killed.

[Henry Sowski]

That's how it goes. Anybody in these industries, they all eventually find violent bad ends. How it works. Very rarely do they see all the way to the end, like, Jimmy Savile, like, it truly like. And so he had a death wish.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

So I don't think he was worried about that. You know, everyone's saying, oh, look at all the stuff about him wanting to live forever and save his head and save all his calm and make a. A bunch of, like, super children, like using genetic manipulation and supermodels and shit. But I also. But I honestly think at the very core of that is a deep depression. Of course I know Eddie. I think he might do this. I think he might be a little

[Ed Larson]

sad if he was happy, then we have a real.

[Henry Sowski]

So I think this idea, like, whatever it says, like, oh, but he wanted to live forever. I was like, I don't think you understand that he wanted to live in a fantasy world. Like, it was just another extended fantasy, just like anything else as far as I'm concerned. But with Ghislaine Maxwell, she really wants to live, so she is going to do everything she can to get out of jail. Because where are they going to kill her in jail once she's free? If she gets out? Like, if she just serves her sentence and she gets out out, she's gone.

[Ed Larson]

I mean, she's gonna be like 80 something.

[Henry Sowski]

I mean, no, no, she got like 20 years.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Oh, she's in her 60s now. I think. She's that old. She old man, she kind of looks good. Yeah, I mean I'm just saying. Deserves a rage now my big question is with this article 64. Wow. Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

She's starting to look at now in

[Ed Larson]

jail of course because she hasn't got her crazy treatments that she gets. I'm gonna shame imagine how ugly she would have been this whole time if she wasn't spending all that much.

[Henry Sowski]

No, she would turn into the lady that I this stream the other day that ate cockles and mash cocus and vinegar or like the war pepper on him. Yeah, she would just be a fucking local like small town English like well woman. She would just be out there going like you gotta keep them rats. Me making rats too by looking for more rat eyes.

[Ed Larson]

Another question about this article. How much are we respecting information coming from aol.com they. They call her a pimp in the headline. I know, but that's not you.

[Henry Sowski]

No, it's actually someone actually saying something. Correct. Better.

[Ed Larson]

You think so?

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, she's a pimp.

[Ed Larson]

I guess so.

[Henry Sowski]

She's a human trafficker. That is somebody finally saying the words to what she is.

[Ed Larson]

I feel like a pimp is almost more respectful.

[Henry Sowski]

See, that's one of those things we forget. That pimp used to be a big insult.

[Ed Larson]

It used to be, yes.

[Henry Sowski]

But pimp is like. Yeah, we reframed it. But if you.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I think it's. I think it's gone back around.

[Henry Sowski]

He's a fucking pimp.

[Ed Larson]

She is. All right. I mean I just feel like a pimp has of age women pimp at no, Eddie.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, sweet, sweet Eddie. I feel like that's nice to think, you know what, what a sweet summer child you are. You think everybody who's a pimp has just been like, let me see that id.

[Ed Larson]

Oh wait, it comes from Radar Online, which might be even worse. I will say that they, they listed her associates as Prince Andrew, Ehud, Barack and Bill Clinton. No mention of Trump.

[Henry Sowski]

Of course not. No, because Trump is the one she can't mention. She can mention every single. All the other ones. And also I would go go as far as to say it's because she literally doesn't have any evidence on Trump because he doesn't use email and he doesn't write things down. Yeah, except for when he drew the body of a pre pubescent girl on Epstein's birthday book in order for them to dog whistle. They're both their, their predilection for having sex with 13 year old girls.

[Ed Larson]

God, man. If they had the capability to fire whoever's idea was to put that birthday book together.

[Henry Sowski]

It was just Lane, was it? Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, she's fired. Yep.

[Henry Sowski]

She fired. No, no, that whole, that whole thing. And we'll, we'll talk about it. We now know that that 13 year old that made all those accusations about Donald Trump punching her in the head while she was trying to fellate him is largely cooperated as well. There's a lot of. We did it as far as I'm concerned.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, no, he did all that. Yep. So yeah, we know, we know, we know.

[Henry Sowski]

Cockles and M get you and M. It's nice.

[Ed Larson]

Just, you know, the Jimmy Savile isn't hurting us at all.

[Henry Sowski]

It's really not. It's really not. Do we want to get into some of the great stories we have this week?

[Ed Larson]

We have a tiny update that I feel like if we don't mention it, people are just going to yell at us. Oh, sure, sure, sure, sure. DNA links Ted Bundy to the murder of a 17 year old girl from Utah.

[Henry Sowski]

I mean it just shows another one, they're still out there. It shows that they are out there. I do believe that we're going to see more. I will always say that John Wayne Gacy's numbers might have been in the hundreds.

[Ed Larson]

Really? You think he would have been that prolific?

[Henry Sowski]

I think that once you're at wrong,

[Ed Larson]

I think he's too fat to fill those numbers.

[Henry Sowski]

He traveled throughout Wisconsin, California, Indiana, he all of those places he traveled. There were several stories of other boys coming out and saying that they met a man that fit the description of John Wayne Gacy that either raped them or tried to rape them or do a thing like this. So I think that we're seeing for. I think that once you are into a certain number of victims, like dozens of actual confirmed victims, then it starts to get to a point where you are, it's like the opposite. It's like way more than you think. Because John Wayne Gacy also had like boys, he definitely had accomplices. So like somebody like him, Ted Bundy, he was doing the old fashioned American bootstrap way. Him himself, he didn't need help. He went out there, he didn't need boys to come kill all these women. He could do it himself because he was the Kobe Bryant of murdering women.

[Ed Larson]

He claims that his numbers are over 100 now. Did he, Was he running around the same time as Henry Lee Lucas could Henry Lee Lucas? No, it was all before said that.

[Henry Sowski]

Okay, Henry Lucas was before also. Henry Lucas is full of.

[Ed Larson]

Well, I know. That's what I'm saying. Could have Henry Lee Lucas confessed to some of Bundy's kills.

[Henry Sowski]

Who knows? But they closed a lot of those cases.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, exactly.

[Henry Sowski]

But then they don't reopen them because. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

And that whoever killed those people.

[Henry Sowski]

But who knows? It's like lots of different. You know, Eddie, I feel like. And this might be rough for people to hear, but I think that women are getting. Getting murdered by the dozen, like, a lot. Yeah. And then it was happening, like, a lot. And I think that a lot of, like, sex workers were, like, murdered by

[Ed Larson]

the dozen from the 60s through the

[Henry Sowski]

early 90s to now.

[Ed Larson]

Well, I mean, it's not as bad as it was. At least there's cameras now.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, but then they still. You girls still got to investigate it. Still got to find these people, you know? I mean, like, you look at what's going on in Canada, you go look what's going on even just in Alaska. Well, just the idea of, like, how many indigenous women go missing.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, I mean, well, that's.

[Henry Sowski]

But I'm just saying in terms of

[Ed Larson]

victimized group of people in the world.

[Henry Sowski]

I'm just saying there's so many. I mean, who knows? They're in the running. Z. Congrats. Congrats, Indigenous people of Canada. You might just be the world's biggest victim. Let's check it out. Out. Let's check the polls.

[Ed Larson]

Well, not just Canada. We got, you know, we do plenty. We do a good job here. Yeah. You know, now we, you know what's going on. Well, yeah. Have you seen this? We have actual news. Have you heard this? We got some real news for you guys.

[Henry Sowski]

All right, so before we get into. Men get into trouble, I first want to talk about this. This one. This is a science thing, and it's just one of those where I. We're. So the human eye apparently, is an immunological fortress. So it has all of this, like, this thing you can get through, and it's like. And it's also, like, apparently, like, there's a way that you can deliver drugs your eye. Like, that's what's hard, is it, for eye cancer?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

It's hard to get into your eyeballs. Right. It's really difficult. Right. It's unwanted intruders. Right. It's like it's a whole thing. They invite the. You have all of these systems inside of your eyeballs to keep things out. Out. They're trying to figure out A way to, like, get these eye drop can, like, whatever this cancer medication into your eyes.

[Ed Larson]

I can't. I can't do any droppers. I. I'm really. I got really sensitive eyes.

[Henry Sowski]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

So they got tiny little slits too.

[Henry Sowski]

They're finding a new way.

[Ed Larson]

Nothing in there, but they want to

[Henry Sowski]

find a new way to get all the stuff all the way around your eyeball. And apparently they found a new way to. To attach the medication to pig come.

[Ed Larson]

Great.

[Henry Sowski]

So pig semen gets squirted in your eyeballs with medicine in it.

[Ed Larson]

Hold on.

[Henry Sowski]

You say that squirts all over the inside of your fucking eyeballs?

[Ed Larson]

Are you saying all my pig semen is just, like, useful? I'm just. I'm just sitting under the sink right now doing nothing. I got three Mason jars fucking collecting dust.

[Henry Sowski]

I just love this. This is one of my favorite headlines. The only reason why we're even doing the story is because the headline is, Scientists turn pig Semen extract into eye drops that kill cancer in mice. And it's just something about so. So in order to fix this stuff, we have to let these pigs come in our faces? No, that's what we're doing here.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, you jerk them off, you put it in a little vial, and you squirt it in your eye. What are we talking about here?

[Henry Sowski]

Why are these scientists. How we even get here? Well, how are these scientists of all of the. The first stuff?

[Ed Larson]

They've tried everything, and it didn't work.

[Henry Sowski]

I. How'd we get here? How'd we get the pig come.

[Ed Larson]

Well, I think someone was blowing a cop. And then they got. And they got. Came the cop came in their eye.

[Henry Sowski]

Okay.

[Ed Larson]

And then they were like, you know what I see? Great. Oh, here we go. This is. All right.

[Henry Sowski]

Zhang's team, right? He was inspired by the discovery that these things, I guess they're called exosomes. They're in pig semen. They play a facilitative role in the penetration of physiological barriers and the female reproductive tract during sperm migration. So it's the same stuff that makes the sperm go in the egg, makes it go in your eyeball.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, okay. So if you're using, like, pig. Female pig, like, squirt. Not gonna work. I don't think so. No.

[Henry Sowski]

I mean, not yet. And I feel like that's one of the big glass ceilings in the industry are pigs.

[Ed Larson]

I think pigs are, like, surprisingly clean.

[Henry Sowski]

That's a pig's penis.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. A little twisty, like a duck.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah. That's why. What's fun about the Semen is. It is. Shoots in a little tornado. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

That's good.

[Henry Sowski]

When it comes down, you got to catch in a big old bucket. Big. Yeah. It's horrific.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, Shutterstock. We could buy that.

[George Clinton]

That.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, I thought you meant the channel Shutter. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[Ed Larson]

That's. That's on utter. Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, it is. I just wanted to start with that to understand that's where science is at. Yeah, we're at jerking off pigs. And we're. We're just tasting it, I guess, you know. No, it sounds like it's a whole thing. It's just this idea of some guy who sat. Thought about p. Pig come and he was like, oh, well, pig come makes. Because I guess like, you can't say human come because that's like a whole whole process.

[Ed Larson]

You're not even saying pig come. Really? We're saying pick them. They said semen.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, they're doctors. I'm an entertainer. And so they had to go and they thought about jism and they thought that like, oh, well, jism goes in eggs and what are eyes like? Two eggs.

[Ed Larson]

I. I got two eggs in my.

[Henry Sowski]

Wait a second, wait a second. What's up, man? You gotta tell me I got two eggs in my head.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, man.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, that's what the guy said. Yeah, sure. Yeah, definitely.

[Ed Larson]

Well, this story is both sweet and sour.

[Henry Sowski]

I like that we. I like that we like. It's not that we don't understand like what you're here, what you're hearing here is not two people trying to discredit science or give misinformation about science. It's actually two very curious boys that talk about these subjects. Because we're just so curious. Because you know what it is? Boys are so curious. And it doesn't stop sometimes when they become men.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Because men are just curious.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, this is. It says here that retinoblast, pha, whatever that's called, is a common eye cancer in children that is fatal if untreated.

[Henry Sowski]

So we got to come. So pigs have to ejaculate all over the faces of children to keep them from going blind.

[Ed Larson]

Completely curable. In high income countries patience are fair. Far worse than low to middle income

[Henry Sowski]

nations because that's where they get the most pig come at a go. Because there's the nicer farms for the farmer.

[Ed Larson]

Farmer. What they're saying is that these lower income countries have extra pig countries cup.

[Henry Sowski]

We got to get it. That's why we should. And that's why we're evading a run.

[Ed Larson]

That's right. Get that all.

[Henry Sowski]

Get that pig.

[Ed Larson]

Come get that pig.

[George Clinton]

Let's get that.

[Henry Sowski]

You know you got some extra.

[Ed Larson]

They ain't using them pigs. No, they're not.

[Henry Sowski]

I know you got some extra. Lower income, Higher pig.

[Ed Larson]

Com.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah. Wow, great. It's the title.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, there we go.

[Henry Sowski]

That's the title of the episode. And you know this again, Curious boys.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I'm very curious. I got lots of things I want to know about.

[Henry Sowski]

And that's why we're going to start this new segment called Men get in Trouble.

[Ed Larson]

We might need a stinger down the road, folks. Men. Men get in trouble, you know, Men in trouble. Trouble.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Men in trouble.

[Henry Sowski]

Because it's really just about like. That's really what it is. It's troubles. It's not specific troubles, but there. Men are just. Men get in trouble.

[Ed Larson]

It's a. It's a common theme on the show.

[Henry Sowski]

It is.

[Ed Larson]

I think it's common enough where we need a stinger at this point.

[Henry Sowski]

Men are just. Men are curious and it, you know, it kills. It kills the cat.

[Ed Larson]

They make statements, you know, they just make statements and they don't think about the statements before they make them. And they made the statements and now they're written down.

[Henry Sowski]

So here's a man. Here is a man right here.

[Ed Larson]

Who we doing? We do.

[Henry Sowski]

He's in quite a bit of trouble.

[Ed Larson]

Are we doing.

[Henry Sowski]

He's a New Jersey man.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

What is it with New Jersey people going to Pittsburgh to commit crimes?

[Ed Larson]

You know, it's because no one reports them in New Jersey.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, they're just like. Edge is par for the course. Yeah, it's just Bill, you know how he is.

[Ed Larson]

You know Bill, you know how he's.

[Henry Sowski]

He's a good guy, but sometimes he's just. He grew up, sees the bunny.

[Ed Larson]

Well, fucking. I tell you, you keep your kids away from Billy, Billy gonna fucking touch your kids. I.

[Henry Sowski]

What I tell you about Bill? What I fucking tell you about him?

[Ed Larson]

All right, so his hands, they go like this.

[Henry Sowski]

We call him the octopus.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, you get way. The grabby hands. What do you think? You got the nickname fucking your fault, right?

[Henry Sowski]

Think a second. Think for a second. So a New Jersey man, he's in legal trouble, cuz he assaulted the Easter bunny at the South Hills Village mall. Now, nothing like a holy holiday because I was watching another body cam footage of a mother of five killing an entire carload of people in the parking lot of Walgreens on Easter morning, really on Easter Sunday. And it's A lot of pressure.

[Ed Larson]

You did this before you made the lamb?

[Henry Sowski]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

The lamb was delicious, by the way.

[Henry Sowski]

Thank you. I made a Moroccan style lamb.

[Ed Larson]

Oh. It was good. It was sweet.

[Danny Bedrosian]

It was.

[Henry Sowski]

It was very good. Dates and plums. Plums and dates. Now this. This woman goes. So according to criminal complaint. So it was a female Easter bunny.

[Ed Larson]

There's our. There's a big issue.

[Henry Sowski]

No, I don't think that should be an issue.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, no, she's allowed to be the Easter Bunny. The Easter Bunny is genderless.

[Henry Sowski]

The problem is Peter Cottontail. That's not the Easter Bunny, though.

[Ed Larson]

Peter Cottontail's not the Easter bunny.

[Henry Sowski]

No, it's not.

[Ed Larson]

Here comes Peter Cottontail.

[Henry Sowski]

It's something. That's another story. He's a different rabbit. It's another rabbit based story.

[Ed Larson]

Hippity hoppity.

[Henry Sowski]

It's nothing to do with Easter. Easter.

[Ed Larson]

What? That's an Easter song. Peter Cotton Tails. An Easter song.

[Henry Sowski]

Easter's on its way is how it ends. But that's just because another bunny, the bigger bunny, the boss bunny.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Is in town.

[Ed Larson]

The Easter Bunny.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, the bunny.

[Ed Larson]

The bunny which is nameless.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, he can't be named. Well, it's a roll. Oh, we're wrong. He's right.

[Ed Larson]

Peter Cottontail is the Easter Bunny.

[Henry Sowski]

Peter Cottontail's the Easter Bunny.

[Ed Larson]

Right.

[Henry Sowski]

In the 1950s, they just stole. That's a retcon. That's a retcon. There is no name.

[Ed Larson]

Tell me his name.

[Henry Sowski]

The Easter Bunny is a role.

[Ed Larson]

Is the name. Santa Claus is a role, though.

[Henry Sowski]

That's what I'm saying.

[Ed Larson]

His name's St. Nicholas.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah. I think that his name beforehand was named, like, Georgiosk. And then he became the Santa Claus. That is what happens. And then he became the Santa Claus. Yeah, Right. All right. So this guy, whatever. However the Easter Bunny got there, it wasn't ready for this New Jersey gentleman. So he came in and first thing was, is that he was grabbing at the Easter Bunny, which you shouldn't do.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. And I do see the comedy in it.

[Henry Sowski]

We all do. That's what we're doing the episode.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

So then he started grabbing at the top of her costume, saying, hey, hey, hey, hey. Is it a boy or a girl? Is it a boy or a girl? But the thing is, is that, as we all know with bunnies, that's not where you check.

[Ed Larson]

He began to put his fingers in the nose, in the mouth of the costume.

[Henry Sowski]

Little cursed boy try to save her. Boy or girl.

[Ed Larson]

Right.

[Henry Sowski]

And so go. They finally found him. He left the Scene of the crime after he grew up at the Easter wedding for a while. And then they found him later on in the AMC theater next to the mall. And he was asleep on one of the top rows of the auditorium.

[Ed Larson]

Is this guy an A lister?

[Henry Sowski]

I think that he might be.

[Ed Larson]

And as an A lister, see.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, let me go check out a. Let me check out this thing and let's go. Oh my God. News and diaphragm. I got to go see.

[Ed Larson]

I expect AMC to cover my ass. As an A lister, I lie for

[Henry Sowski]

me once I'm in the doors of an amc.

[Ed Larson]

That is. That is Base Sanctuary. That is Base Sanctuary Taken once I'm inside the amc.

[Henry Sowski]

So as he was taken into custody, this young. This young man, this gentleman, according to criminal complaint, he asked police,

[Ed Larson]

the fire below, is that on the clothes? The fire below, the merchandising, is it a bunny?

[Henry Sowski]

And rather than Miranda Rice, he kept. He said, he kept asking. It's a doll, right?

[Ed Larson]

Big talking dog.

[Henry Sowski]

He was informed that it was indeed a person, not a doll. He said this by mistake. My hand touched her by mistake. If it is a lady.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, if it's a lady.

[Henry Sowski]

It was an accident. The lady who was an accident. I was checking let him know I can't have any. Can't have any trans. Easter bunny. Which is sad. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

You think you. What do you think he was saying?

[Henry Sowski]

Ready or not to honestly think that for Easter he might have been seeing the special screening of the Passion of the Christ. Oh, that's a really good place to go hide. Yes.

[Ed Larson]

People do all kinds of awful things in there.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, I'm always beaten off. It's so hard.

[Ed Larson]

Yep. He's, you know he's gonna kill him in front of us.

[Henry Sowski]

Nope. Nope. So that's the only Mario probably.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, he saw.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, he's definitely seeing Mario. I could see that. Yeah, that's a good one to drunkenly fall asleep into.

[Ed Larson]

How about Hoppers?

[Henry Sowski]

What?

[Ed Larson]

Hoppers. That's what he was on.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, sure, sure. So, yeah, that's a little bit of trouble. He's arrested for sexually assaulting that Easter bunny.

[Ed Larson]

But how are you going to put out a movie called Hoppers this close to Easter and have nothing to do with the rabbits?

[Henry Sowski]

Because they don't care about us, Eddie. It's cuz the executives don't care about us.

[Ed Larson]

These people.

[Henry Sowski]

Yep. So now this is another story of a mess getting a little bit of trouble we have here. I would love to. I love this one because this is so funny to me. It's Just I, I can't even. So this is in Washington County, I believe this is in Tennessee. Tennessee.

[Ed Larson]

It's in Tennessee.

[Henry Sowski]

So this makes a lot of sense. The Washington county school board. So this is a member, Keith Irvin. And so he had some kid on this live streamed event with all the kids there, you know, they're going, this is live. Yes. And he does this funny little thing. Rob, play the clip. God, you're hot.

[Ed Larson]

You know that? Where you go school at? I'm a CRO it.

[George Clinton]

All right, for those of you that

[Henry Sowski]

maybe not have heard that he says, gosh, you're hot.

[Ed Larson]

And then he puts his arm around her.

[Henry Sowski]

What high school do you go to? Now? That to me was like really funny. He did it in front of. It's a whole room. You hear everyone go. Everyone goes like, because you know why I would say, guys, I don't know if you might know, but the news is filled with quite a bit of pedophilia right now. And there's like a lot of, how do we put this like attention on how adults are interacting with minors, especially a 15 year old high school girl. Now see this man, the first thing he said after this, so he said, go she ralt. And the whole audience went like. And then afterwards he tried to say, no, no, no, no, no. What you guys don't understand is that she was asking a lot of questions, right? She got up there and she was a mile a minute. And I just meant like, you're hot on these questions.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, you're on fire answering these questions.

[Henry Sowski]

You are the hottest child I've ever seen with these questions.

[Ed Larson]

Answer questions now.

[Henry Sowski]

I answer a question now. Oh my Lord, Lord, you're so hot. I got to know where you go to school.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

So I could find out. He puts his arm around where you learn how to do those questions at.

[Ed Larson]

He said there's a lot of context missing, a lot of context the entire meeting to see how impressive this student board member is.

[Henry Sowski]

Yes. Because then if you saw the whole meeting, you'd know how hot she is. Because then you'd know how impressive she is and how hot she was physically and how she was standing next to you and then you then went and touched her body because you thought that she was physically attractive. But if we. You fell in love with her because of how good she was at the meeting, which I get also.

[George Clinton]

It's.

[Henry Sowski]

We just can't see that. We can't see your love story.

[Ed Larson]

Parents from the schools are asking him to resign. My question is, what does it Take to get fired.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, no, regular fire. You would have to. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. You'd have to like legitimately. He'd have to. I think you'd have to murder a 12 year old on camera to get fired. He is. You can't misconstrue what he says. I refuse to. I will not go with him. You know what it is, judge? Yeah, sure. How.

[Ed Larson]

Where do you go to school at?

[George Clinton]

Where you go?

[Henry Sowski]

I gotta go. I gotta see what they're putting in the water by the reservoir where you're at. I can give some to my step niece.

[Ed Larson]

Are you a lady? Are you? Tell me, are you a lady, Easter Bunny?

[Henry Sowski]

Now promise me you're a lady. You got to tell me. Listen, you can be arrested if you like. This is the state of Pennsylvania. You could get arrested for not telling me if you're a lady or not. All right, now you tell them you give it up. What's the gender? Give it up. You see, this is what I just don't understand is that we all now. So we all are gonna have to go and make this excuse for you that like you could even say you misspelled. You can even come out and be like, oh my God, I wasn't in my right mind. I was physically warm. Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Also just.

[Henry Sowski]

He's old.

[Ed Larson]

Get rid of him.

[Henry Sowski]

Anyway, cut him a little.

[Ed Larson]

I hate to be completely ageist, but like, let's get someone younger in there. They're teaching children.

[Henry Sowski]

You know what I'm starting to understand. You know what I'm actually, I think like that this is, this thing is that we're supposed to protect these older people from themselves when actually, no, he's telling you he shouldn't have this job anymore.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

And I think that that's okay. I think that a lot of these old people that are currently in jobs that they shouldn't have anymore retire should be told that they shouldn't have these jobs anymore. And it's not ageism, it's not anything. It's that you're too old to be around people because you refuse. Because you know, I know you're too old because there's an 85 year old next to you, you that knows to not call a 16 year old hot on a live stream. And I'm not even saying those. Did not do it publicly knows, maybe not even do it privately. You have these people. Those are the people that are too old. When you start getting dysregulated and start talking out of the Bottom of your fucking ass into a microphone and you're an elected official and a bunch of people are hanging on your every word and you're literally just a fucking gobbledygook, pudding brained moron.

[George Clinton]

Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

All right, we got a fucking. We need a cult of these old people.

[Ed Larson]

You know what one of the main issues is or why people aren't entire retiring like they used to is because no one has any money anymore.

[Henry Sowski]

I totally.

[Ed Larson]

And that is everyone's parents are secretly broke. By the way, if anyone thinks they're getting money from their parents, you're not.

[Henry Sowski]

I think that we're heading into what's sort of like an actual real discussion which I, I'm, you know, always trying to avoid that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like, I think we're heading into this idea of, we're actually starting to see the full circle thing of what uncontrollable, uncontrolled capitalism is doing. We're starting to see how it's also affect our social systems in this way. You know, I'm getting a lot of my leftist listeners being like, what have we been yelling about? But it's like, yes, but we're really seeing it now. It's like really happening because of the old people can't afford to retire. They're going to stay in positions that they shouldn't be in and if they are not, like, because that's really what it's not. Again, it's not about the age. It's about willingness to learn and understand the growth, growth of the world. Can you sit and be like, yes, the world is different than it was 10, 20 years ago. But that doesn't mean that it's bad. It means that it's different.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. And that it was up back then.

[Henry Sowski]

Well, no, it just means that it's different. It just means that there are. You're gonna have to change. It's called life. And if you can't change, you die like you. So these guys are, I think that's what we're seeing is a bunch of people who physically care, can't learn anymore.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

And once we're at that level, we're, we're going to be in this for forever. We need some young people doing things.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. So let's get him out of there, huh? Why don't you fire him? Do us all a favor, don't let him resign.

[Henry Sowski]

Fire his ass. Be like, you know, he should have

[Ed Larson]

been fired on the spot.

[Henry Sowski]

Guess what? Big mistake. Well, he probably has tenure. It's probably a union thing. It's probably difficult to get him out of there but also at the same time time work him out him. You. You know what. Yeah. You made a big guess what you just did ruined everybody's ear.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

That's what. That's enough for you to be fired.

[Ed Larson]

Take the hit and fire him. Yeah, you know, whatever. Pay him out and move on.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah. Who gives a next.

[Ed Larson]

Yes, we have. Speaking of someone who got fired for being a piece of to young girls. He's in the news right now. Matt Gates.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, he's a. That needs to be be. Let's send him to Iran.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

I think he'd be great on the front lines of Iran. Yeah, yeah. Right. Just right in front. He could definitely the big American flag and a big thing we'll have him say like the Ayatollah.

[George Clinton]

We'll put a.

[Henry Sowski]

The Ayatollah sign on his front and we send him in the front of him and Baron Trump right next to each other just waiting into the war.

[Ed Larson]

Big ass head collect bullets.

[Henry Sowski]

I would love that. But Matt Gates has come out and said this thing about how he was briefed on we on these alien hybrid programs as a part of this. Like he's been working with whistleblowers. We know Matt Gaetz, he's the House of Representatives. Where is he?

[Ed Larson]

Out of Florida, of course. Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

And so I actually didn't know but

[Ed Larson]

he's been fired for. You know, he was fired. It was like the first thing Trump did was fire him. Well, no, he promoted him and no one cleared him. And so he was essentially fired.

[Henry Sowski]

They did that on purpose.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah, it was kind of done on purpose to get rid of him,

[Henry Sowski]

to get him out because he was

[Ed Larson]

a big problem because he got caught trafficking young girls.

[Henry Sowski]

You know, it's the only one they've ever cared about, which I find really interesting.

[Ed Larson]

He's just that much of an.

[Henry Sowski]

That they just don't like him. That's like, that's how you kind of know like that's how you start to read between the lines of who they actually punish. It's because they don't like those guys. It's like how. How Trump's been floating this. I'm going to put Ted Cruz on the. The Supreme Court thing. And it's because Ted Cruz is one of the most unliked person in all of government. Everybody hates Ted Cruz. They all fucking hate him on the inside. And he knows that putting him into those positions is a threat to all of the people within the Congress. So this is. You start to Understand, they use each other. Other's personalities against each other's too, you know, so Matt Gates, so unlikable, they stuck him on the alien division. Matt Gates is working in the alien sphere. Right. He's working in the UFO community, working with whistleblowers. Him and Marco Rubio are a part of this whole. Like the only thing Republicans do that I can remotely stomach is working on the UFO stuff. And he came out and said that he was briefed on this. This alien hybrid program, which to me would mean it is definitely fake. Yes. Because if you're briefing Matt Gates, you're lying to him. I think that is literally what's happening. So if you're briefing Matt Gates, if you're. If the United States Intelligence services are telling Matt Gates anything, they're telling them that. So that he sounds like a. Yeah,

[Ed Larson]

because he said that they are breeding aliens with humans to create a master intergalactic.

[Henry Sowski]

I think that what he is saying is, I do believe my heart of hearts now is that what we have is a bunch of stuff. We've talked about this a little bit. We have a bunch of stuff that we can't explain in hangers and we don't know what to do with it and we can't rip on it.

[Ed Larson]

It's just getting smaller. Henry. What he said there's a lot of stuff we can't explain in hangers. And I was saying it's just getting smaller.

[Henry Sowski]

What is even. There's the issue with all these clothing. Someone is making my shit shirts much tinier. I don't know who, what ma are a foot. But someone has made my T shirts at least a size too small. Matt Gates, like, I think that we, you know, we have stuff that we can't explain. We have some. And I think that there was a piece of information that suggested that we were either put here or like, they're like. That's kind of what they said about the idea of Jimmy Carter couldn't stop crying and the other. All the generals are really scared because they've been told this piece of information that might allude to the fact that we weren't here naturally, and that they. It just to them, they have pushed it and pushed it and pushed it down that it turns into this sort of misinformation that then is fed to Matt Gaetz because then it sounds super stupid and super fake because all the generals are genuinely very, very afraid of their personal God being subjugated by a technological God that is way bigger and more advanced than the Christian God.

[Ed Larson]

He Said that we bred caravans of migrants with aliens.

[Henry Sowski]

That's a. That's a deeply racist, very Republican talking point.

[George Clinton]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Like just this idea that, you know, because then it switches into Q. Now we're in Q.

[Ed Larson]

You. Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Once you're talking about, oh, it's migrants that are with the aliens.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Like they're not, to be honest, saying, we captured the.

[Ed Larson]

The caravans and then we bred the caravans with aliens.

[Henry Sowski]

It just didn't make any sense.

[Ed Larson]

No, it doesn't make sense.

[Henry Sowski]

It doesn't make any sense. There's no purpose to this. This is the thing too. Right. Is that if we're doing this. Yeah. Obviously you're like, yeah, Henry, it doesn't make any sense. Sense. But no, I mean, the actual. Then what is the outcome of it? What actually is the purpose of the program?

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

If we're not trying to make an ascended version of humankind, I don't think

[Ed Larson]

we would have to. Like, if there were aliens everywhere, we wouldn't have to breed them. We would. Just them.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, we. Oh, especially if they can't breed. Yeah. If they can't breed and we can.

[Ed Larson]

You don't have to have a program.

[Henry Sowski]

We'll just do it. We'll beat Chad Butts.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

If aliens just show up with holes and they say, yeah, sure, fuck you, can it. I don't care. I feel nothing. My brain is not here. I am a remote entity. This is just a. This is just a capsule. And then you're like, yeah, I can the out of it. Yes, that is what you choose. Then you are allowed.

[Ed Larson]

They started with putting pig semen in their eyes.

[Henry Sowski]

Yep.

[Ed Larson]

They're like. That didn't work.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, this is. This is. Honestly, it's gross.

[Ed Larson]

What if I just fill its with human gum?

[Henry Sowski]

All right, well, you try. Where's Matt Gates? Let's get him in here. Well, the reason why we bring up some aliens is because for the very first time, Eddie and I got to speak to an alien.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, baby.

[Henry Sowski]

Today is a historical day for us here at LPN and at Side Stories in which Ed Larson and I got to speak to a particular idol of ours.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Like a true fucking hero of Earth.

[Henry Sowski]

A legend that we got to ask some questions to in a very small period of time. I know you guys don't necessarily even like our interviews, but this is. It's for us. I don't care.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, this is actually. This one is actually for us.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, actually for us. And I think that you should listen to it because it is interesting, because he does say some really interesting things in here. And he really is a man beyond time, a man beyond art. And can't believe we got to spend our time on this globe with him. I feel like that's. He's one of those too, where it's like this guy is one of those where I am. I'm so happy I got to be on Earth at the same time, much

[Ed Larson]

less Talk to Top 5 most important people to me.

[Henry Sowski]

Yes.

[Ed Larson]

Like, including parents.

[Henry Sowski]

So we have. It's a mini little thing here. This is the promo Ed is going to out for the Parliament, the P

[Ed Larson]

Funk Festival Festival in tallahassee up at 5th Farm. It's going to be in two days or three days this Saturday.

And funk music, like, they are just going to be running back and forth between tents performing for you, dude. Every single iteration of P Funk's going to be there.

[Henry Sowski]

Woof.

[Ed Larson]

From your grave. So today on side Stories, last podcast on the left, we're having, without a doubt, the coolest goddamn interview we've ever had. We're joined by Danny and the man himself, George Clinton. Dr. Funkenstein, the Prime Minister of Funk, Mr. Wiggles. That's right. He's a goddamn worm. How y' all doing? We're here to talk about aliens and all things P Funk. We're plugging the. Let's take it to the stage. P funk fest on April 11th this Saturday at Phipps Farm in Tallahassee.

[George Clinton]

Cool, man. Glad to be here, man. Right on time for this alien talk.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Right?

[George Clinton]

I heard they're getting ready to. Let's let the cat out the bag.

[Henry Sowski]

That's what I like to hear, man. You have been such a presence in our lives. I mean, all world's lives, but in our lives specifically. You made us cool, right? You've made us cool. People. People. And I was even saying that, like. But I wanted to talk with you about aliens.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

My entire young man's life.

[Ed Larson]

See, here's the deal. We are obsessed with the music and all that stuff, but we are both cut from the alien cloth. Henry is obsessed with aliens and I know you are too. We just saw the mothership at the Smithsonian together. We got pictures. It was beautiful. It was like going home, man.

[Henry Sowski]

It was beautiful. I can't believe let it in one building, man.

[George Clinton]

Cool. Well, you know, we're getting ready to redo the mothership again. The Essence Festival in New Orleans, July 5th.

[Ed Larson]

No way. So you're bringing back the mothership?

[George Clinton]

We bring him. I'm telling this is the time for the aliens to come back.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah.

[George Clinton]

The Anunnaki is on their way.

[Henry Sowski]

George, can I ask you, are you like, are you scared by the idea of disclosure or the idea that. That like aliens being actually fundamentally real? Like. Like, is there any part of it that that frightens you?

[George Clinton]

Only to trying to keep it here is frightening. What they would go through to keep it hid. That's kind of scary, I don't think. I think they've been part of our thing for a long time. We archeology and.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Oh yeah, we said magic and science.

[George Clinton]

Magic and science is coming to that, you know, crossroad again with the. With whether you want to call them demons or aliens or entities. We at that point now where we going to need an AI to explain it to us and who AI is. And all of that intellect is leading us to that dance. We've learned a lot. Now we got to figure it out for ourselves which part of it is real. But I believe that it's here ear that they have been here. You know, Spielberg is getting ready to make some kind of announcement pretty soon. Yeah, I don't know what that's about. I was the guest of honor at Close Encounters.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Oh yeah, close.

[George Clinton]

I was. I was a guest of honor at her. At her opening of the movie Julia Phillips. And the whole surrounding of that movie itself was weird to me. You know, But I don't trust nothing I was thinking back then because I was kind of out of my mind.

[Ed Larson]

Hey.

[George Clinton]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

I refuse to believe it.

[Ed Larson]

I think you saw more than anyone else could.

[George Clinton]

Right.

[Henry Sowski]

Or then. Can I just ask a straight up question? All right, I just want to get into this. I saw in a previous interview that you and Bootsy saw something.

[George Clinton]

Oh, no. That was so real. That was so real. I mean, whatever it was. Hit the car. Car. It was a light. First of all, we light. We saw it for at least 10 minutes. Yeah. And hit the car and it beat it up. You know how Mercury look In a thermometer. When it. When it beat up and move around. Yeah, it hit the car and rolled off the car and beads like. Like mercury off the side of the car. Okay. Now, we have been watching it two or three times as it was hitting the ground. Ground. But then it finally like. Like a light right from the sky, you know, like laser. But when it hit the ground, it's splattered like electricity.

[Henry Sowski]

That's so fascinating. You and Bootsy were driving, right? The idea was it was after a gig, right? It was after a gig.

[George Clinton]

No, no, no, no. After we left the Studio, Detroit drove 401 to Toronto, to Mississauga. We never made it to Toronto. Got to Mississauga right by the airport. And as we was pulling in, now we don't drove through Detroit into Canada. So we couldn't come through the border with nothing. So we wasn't high. Okay.

[Henry Sowski]

And honestly, that's a great corroboration.

[Ed Larson]

I was just about to ask.

[George Clinton]

Okay. No, we just come through the border, you know, and we was clean, you know, and so when we got there, we saw it in coming straight down to hitting the street first time, and neither one of us said anything. We turn off a 401 onto Burnham Thorpe, and going down there about a half a mile, we saw it come down through the trees on the right side of the street, which we were on. Then on the left side of the street in the same block we were in, and the third one hit the car. Hit the car. The street lights went out, out, and you. They start dimming. They didn't go straight out, just start dimming, Dimming car lights going out. Pretty soon we didn't see another car at all. And all the lights was going out. It took us at least a mile before we come to intersection and saw lights and cars again. And I live about a half a block from that. My daughter came out and say, what happened to y'?

[Ed Larson]

All?

[George Clinton]

Y' all look like you seen the ghost. We didn't say a word. We didn't say a word for years. We didn't talk about it.

[Henry Sowski]

Why not?

[Ed Larson]

Because you thought you'd be looked at

[George Clinton]

as crazy or myself. I knew I didn't think that. You tell anybody you are crazy, Especially since we wasn't high. Yeah. No good excuse.

[Henry Sowski]

Do you feel like it's then been a part of your life before and Since? Like, obviously UFOs and aliens have run

[George Clinton]

through your work after that? A lot of stuff that doesn't happen in my life seem like it has something to do with that or with that being. Even when we had the mothership and on the road, we had weird people that would come around, want to talk to us. You know, some from the Air Force. You know, a lot of it was presumed to be commercial. Like we were doing commercials for the Air Force. We were allowed in Denver, Colorado. What do you call norad. The whole band was allowed in there.

[Ed Larson]

What?

[George Clinton]

The whole band. I mean, Casablanca could take you anywhere. They were good hypes, people. So commercially, we had the excuse that we was doing this for the. The armed forces. We were doing a commercial and relationship with. For the kids in school. So we had a good cover. But the weird people that showed up, you know, as you look back over your life and how much stuff we. I was. You know, I had that book, Behold a Pale Horse. Do you ever read that?

[Danny Bedrosian]

I knew he was going to talk about this one too.

[George Clinton]

This is.

[Henry Sowski]

Yes. We're talking about the idea. Behold a Pale Horse by Bill Cooper. Right. Like this whole book features deep within, like the. All conspiracy theory circles.

[George Clinton]

William Cooper.

[Ed Larson]

Yes. Yeah.

[George Clinton]

That was. That was the most popular book in my life in 88, 89. I mean, I had a manuscript. Somebody sent me the manuscript. Send it to Warner Brothers and sent one to Paisley park. The manuscript. So I. I got the manuscript. I was so shook. I didn't. I wanted somebody to know. I printed up a Million Game to everybody, Prince, everybody had. And when the book came out a couple of years later and we realized that it was the same book, we didn't. I didn't know.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah.

[George Clinton]

I bought books. I was giving the books to everybody at record companies. I thought I had found Holy Grail.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah.

[George Clinton]

And now I realize that had a lot to do with me having to go sit down in the industry.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Oh, yeah.

[George Clinton]

You know, because. But that's. That's a lot of information.

[Henry Sowski]

Yes.

[George Clinton]

You know what I'm saying? And that was that all of that. And all of that stuff that he said in that book now is like even straight down to ice. He had a whole section on

[Danny Bedrosian]

the police state.

[George Clinton]

Police state that. Dressed like that with masks on. Remember he had all of that in the book?

[Henry Sowski]

Yep. Oh, no, no, no. We've been seeing it. I. Have you ever. Have you seen the film soundtrack of a coup d'? Etat?

[Ed Larson]

It's a documentary that came out two years ago. It was basically. It's all about how the government in the CIA used to use Dizzy Gillespie, Louis Armstrong and Nina Simone as like a smoke screen. And that helped them change over the government.

[Henry Sowski]

They would hide in Their touring groups over to Africa in order to flee flip hostile governments to the US Because Congo was supposed to go liberated. It was all this supposed to stuff. So the CIA had embedded themselves with Dizzy Gillespie over there.

[George Clinton]

I believe that. I believe that all that kind of control the agencies and everything have parts in those things that you don't have. You have no knowledge of. They don't even have a lot of them don't even have knowledge of what they're doing. Doing.

[Henry Sowski]

Exactly. Do you think that they ever tried to do something like that to you?

[George Clinton]

I'm sure they did.

[Danny Bedrosian]

I'll call it the industry for nothing. They just call it the industry.

[George Clinton]

Yeah. No. Hell yeah. I mean we let, we. We. We had a lot of people following us. I will be always made in my business not to let nobody use us as that.

[Danny Bedrosian]

The face for somebody face for some.

[George Clinton]

For some propaganda. Because I didn't trust none of us of it, you know. And I didn't want to lead people down some way. And then I changed my mind and they can't. So I made sure that I. Even things I believed in. I never give my opinion on that. I'm just saying what if. Or here's the information. We got to dance through it. I don't know, I ain't. I don't have no magic wand. But this is what they talk. And that's what William Cooper was doing in that book. He didn't tell you what to do. He said this is what they are talking about, about. These are the things they contemplating. These are the scenarios they're running. That's what this whole thing. It not tell you what to do about it but to know about it that it's happening. So I did a lot of that. But now I see a lot as I got older. Oh hell yeah. We was in that. In right in the middle of it. Oh yeah. Cointelpro and everything else running around us, you know, Cuz we was. We was perfect for that.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Oh yeah. Telro.

[George Clinton]

Yeah. We came out but we came out of the 60s so psychedelic. I had a lot of room, more than most people. Cuz you know, Woodstock and all that had made that almost legal in our mind. Sure. So I didn't. You know, I never thought of it as nothing but peace and love. So even the. I look back, the scary things that we came through, you know, wasn't the same as the beginning when we first went into it. By the time we got out there we was big stars, you know, and could have been led any kind of way or could Lead people any kind of way. We, we had a big mothership and I had to. No, we ain't lead nobody. Nothing that you know. Then I might change my mind. If I don't like it, I don't. I try not to do. Do that.

[Danny Bedrosian]

From politicians to cults have followed this band around.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh, I can't even imagine.

[George Clinton]

Oh yeah. Oh. Politician cults.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Political groups.

[George Clinton]

Political groups. So gangs, right?

[Ed Larson]

Gangs.

[George Clinton]

I mean that's what, that's one good thing about the. On the gang side of it. We, we always, whenever we played, there would always be truce wherever there was a gang situation because everybody had to come to see the show and they didn't to want to, you know, up seeing the show. So they would, you know. Hey, no, no set tripping. This p. P. Funk set trip. That's the only thing you did. But as soon as we left, you know.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. You could have each other in three hours. It's fine.

[Henry Sowski]

Three hour break.

[George Clinton]

Okay. That's, that's the way we were in the 50s, you know, we had battle of the groups. We go in each other's neighborhood. We could do the show. You had two hours to get out of the hood. Good.

[Henry Sowski]

That's right. Cuz man, you've been around for ever. I've have the, the. The. The Parliaments OG Hit disc dude, like, like that. Like I can't even believe how not to be. I'm not calling you old man. I'm just saying you're kind of a legend, dude.

[Ed Larson]

Almost 70 years in the game, man. That's crazy.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Oh, no more than 70. The band is 71 years old this year.

[George Clinton]

Okay.

[Ed Larson]

How does that even happen?

[George Clinton]

So Black Board Jungle. I was around for that, you know, west side Story. I, I saw all of those. I saw. Okay. My first phenomenon in grade school was Davy Crockett.

[Henry Sowski]

Jes.

[George Clinton]

If you know the, the Disney thing of.

[Henry Sowski]

Oh yeah, that was like Davy Crockett.

[George Clinton]

That was like the Beatles when they, when that song came out. All your, your paraphernalia. You had Davy Crockett. I worked at the hula hoop factory. I made hula. Made hula hoops at 15, right?

[Danny Bedrosian]

Yeah.

[George Clinton]

Okay. So I watched the whole phenomenon. Lots of phenomenons happen. And I, I time all together. To me it's all one big merch thing.

[Henry Sowski]

As a man that has been around for so many different things, can you give us one prediction about the year 2050?

[Danny Bedrosian]

Whoa, whoa.

[George Clinton]

2050. Oh,

[Ed Larson]

are we still going to be here?

[George Clinton]

Oh yeah, we'll be. What you call it? First, what's planetary Planetary dominance. We'll be able to get the energy from the sun. We're gonna be, we'll be off the planet. We're living off the planet. You know, people will be dating robots and.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah.

[Danny Bedrosian]

It's only 24 years. That's the weird thing. It feels like it's a million.

[George Clinton]

Oh no. 24 years from now years, you're gonna be deep in Star Trek country.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I hope so. We need to change something.

[Henry Sowski]

But who's gonna be wondering you're gonna

[George Clinton]

do that in 10 years.

[Henry Sowski]

We just can't trust. You want J.D. vance to be president of the goddamn. I mean, I don't want to be president of the movie moon.

[George Clinton]

No, that, that, that, that, that whole thing. We have some more problems by then. Those are, those are light ones.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Those will be pass by the, those

[George Clinton]

will be pass by the. J.D.

[Danny Bedrosian]

vance is the Dan Quail of 2050.

[Henry Sowski]

I don't even want to talk. Oh yeah, now, now did you ever

[Ed Larson]

get into like a deep conversation with Sun Raw about Alien, like who's more in touch, you or him?

[George Clinton]

I know he was off the planet in one direction, I was off in another direction at that time. So we never had a chance to like talk, you know. But I found out about his whole thing later on that I didn't realize that he was that serious about it, you know, because it referred to a lot of jazz musicians as far out in, you know, and same with rock's musician. Jimmy to me was off the planet.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, yeah.

[George Clinton]

You know, but a lot of, you know, Farah Saunders, Sunra Miles, a lot of them was out there. But Sunrod just made it home and had a lot of information. I didn't realize that he had been into doo wop either. He started out, yeah, he started out as a doo whopper and he even

[Danny Bedrosian]

did some like if you listen to the first, that Nubians of Plutonia album, it's one of the first ones. It's from the 40s. Yeah, he's fusing doo wop with like this like really almost rugged sort of Pan African jazz type sound. Like a world music sound and. But then they've got these, but they just do like one, one of those and hold it it and just like, like there's others.

[Henry Sowski]

I'm going to get that album now.

[George Clinton]

He was tuned into something else.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I mean he was on another level. I love all of his stuff so much. But for our audience back home, our audience mostly. Well, I'll just say it, a bunch of, a bunch of, you know, 40 year old white people. Could you explain the importance of Afrofuturism?

[George Clinton]

Wow. The. And the importance of it. I don't know how you call what you call it. I think that all of that, we connect all the whole planet, whole life, all humanity is connected to Africa. You know, I think all of that, whatever that vibration is, that's the beginning of everything we do. All of. Of us, you know, difference as to who came out of there, who got out of Africa first and all that. But all of it started there. And I think that's the roots for our life form. That to know about the rhythms, the dress, and all of the social orders that they've had all those years. You'll find that there's been empires there before. We. We. This is not the first empire that's been. Been civilizations that's buried there.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Yeah.

[George Clinton]

So I think a lot of the roots are there. So it's important that we started dancing to those rhythms and figuring out what that vibration that we missing. Because we're not tuned like we supposed to be tuned right now. The computers and all those. All that's cool and all, but I think we've been there before war. I think they've had all of this before. All of this, to me, we just repeating, let's get it right. And Africa is full of that.

[Henry Sowski]

Can I ask, George, what do you do to get in tune?

[George Clinton]

Oh, I'm 85 years old now. I smoke a joint.

[Ed Larson]

Good, good.

[Henry Sowski]

So we're on the same level. Yeah, Good. Great.

[Ed Larson]

All right, great.

[George Clinton]

I don't know. I don't. I don't know nothing deep. I. I don't know nothing deep. I just. That's just the way I feel about it. I could be wrong, as you know, but that's. It makes me feel cool at 85, that I'm still feeling at all or concerned of being asked those kind of questions. I'm glad to be at the party at 85. So, yeah, I'm having a good time.

[Danny Bedrosian]

You know, I think also just real quickly, like, it shows his modesty, you know, And. And not only that, like, the people that are closest to the center of any. Of any concept, you know, those are the people that can't necessarily verbalize it to you the way that you want to hear it, of course, because they're so close to it, that it's just from the feel of it. All of his influence came from the feel it turned into a concept and people theorized it and academicized it and have turned into so many different things, but it's the transcendence that he was talking about before. Like, I give you a. What if I provide a particular. This, this idea, this idea, this one. It's as transcendent as Bach. It can mean a thousand different things, you know, and so like it gets deep.

[Henry Sowski]

Yes. We were just talking about this very thing, about the idea of Alistair Crowley. Right. Like if you look at Alistair Crowley, he, he created the visage of a, of a villain. He decided for society's good he would create of himself a villain character that would walk the world, that would enrich in our lives because he has created a legendary thing out of nothing. And that, that is like one of those, like Oscar Wilde did that and George Clinton. You're an exact example of people can look at at as a way to sort of. Oh, I want to get to that.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Which is 50 of them.

[Ed Larson]

Yes.

[George Clinton]

To me, to me. I always worried about, no matter what you say or do, there's all I'm worried about that person in the corner who says, who gives a. That. That would always keep you in, in, in check. Even though when somebody ask me, am I aware of what I've done done, yes, I'm aware. I know I've done some great, you know, but I, I tell myself that in the bathroom so I can flush it when I say it, Leave it. So when I get out here, I ain't got to defend that person. So who gives a, you know, that I'm safe, I'm all right.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, well, I'll say, Europe, you are a lot better regulated than a lot of other 84 year old dudes right now, man.

[Ed Larson]

Absolutely.

[Henry Sowski]

I'll tell you that. A lot of the, A lot of these guys, A lot of these guys out here throwing some pretty ran, pretty Randy fucking temper tantrums out here.

[Ed Larson]

Let me ask you, George, what would you do if someone said, if someone came up to you and you're like, listen, what if I told you we could clone Dr. Funkenstein, would you let them do it?

[George Clinton]

Oh, oh, hell no. Not if they just walk up to me like that.

[Ed Larson]

All right, they got a brief case,

[Henry Sowski]

big suit on, big suit on.

[George Clinton]

They got to do something to turn me on. More than that. Say that,

[Henry Sowski]

George. Also, how would you feel if you were, let's say, all right, 20 years from now when you may die, would you feel that, Would you want to be replaced by a hologram?

[George Clinton]

I wouldn't give a fuck about that.

[Danny Bedrosian]

We already did it. We already did it. We did, did it. We did it a long time ago.

[George Clinton]

I already got a Hologram of myself

[Danny Bedrosian]

a long time ago. Like, we did that 2013, maybe.

[Henry Sowski]

2013, probably.

[George Clinton]

Seriously? Yeah.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Matter of fact, when it was pretty new and.

[Henry Sowski]

But.

[Danny Bedrosian]

But already very advanced. And, like, it's like he made it like the P Funk Parliament live, P Funk Earth tour. Like, he. He brought me in the studio after. He's like, danny, we're going to do a bunch of overdubs over what we did. Did. We're going to make this a whole thematic. We turned it into a whole thing.

[George Clinton]

I don't even know what they did with the footage, but it's done. Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

That's amazing.

[Ed Larson]

How is Tupac's hologram? Is he nice? Can you, like, is he. Is he fun to be?

[Danny Bedrosian]

He was one of the first ones to do it. Did you see that?

[George Clinton]

I didn't see. I saw little pieces of it.

[Danny Bedrosian]

That was one of the first modern,

[Henry Sowski]

like, more modern ones.

[George Clinton]

Listen, probably by now, they probably got them that, you know, they can probably. Hologram can walk out into the middle of the floor in your room and talk to you nowadays, right?

[Henry Sowski]

We're working on it.

[George Clinton]

They got. Now I know.

[Henry Sowski]

We're working on it. I want it to be. You could smell me. I want me to show up in your room and you can smell like cologne.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, that's the real fun.

[George Clinton]

Okay. No, that. All your senses gonna be engaged.

[Ed Larson]

Oh, man. Well, I'm gonna be engaged when I'm at P Funk F Fest this weekend at Saturday, April 11, at the Phipps Farm in Tallahassee, Florida. It's going to be 11 hours of funk. We're getting down. I'm going to be emceeing it. George, any advice to emcee this thing? I mean, I got to say, I'm a little nervous. I'm pumped.

[George Clinton]

Just tell every. Tell everybody to bring two booties.

[Ed Larson]

That's right, man.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

What is a booty? And how do I know if I'm shaking it? You know, like, I just got.

[Henry Sowski]

I don't.

[George Clinton]

Out. Okay. You don't want me to finish that?

[Henry Sowski]

Thank you for gracing us with some incredible truth today.

[George Clinton]

Thanks for kicking it, man. Thanks.

[Ed Larson]

Absolutely. Make sure you pick up a copy of Make My Funk the P Funk Parliament Funkadelics. Meteoric rise in 1975 from Chocolate City to the Mothership Connection by Daniel Bedrosian. And, of course, these two factors, fellas, they got their YouTube and Patreon show Bump by Bump, where they go over rare P. Fung tracks and talk about how it's all made. Man, it's beautiful. You all got to check it out. I love you too. With all of my heart.

[Henry Sowski]

Love you. I love you. And I love you. I love you both.

[George Clinton]

Cool.

[Danny Bedrosian]

We love you guys.

[Ed Larson]

See you on Saturday, baby.

[Danny Bedrosian]

Yeah, yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

See you out there, man.

[Ed Larson]

From your grave.

[Henry Sowski]

Wow. Not a single music question.

[Ed Larson]

Not no nothing.

[Henry Sowski]

Didn't talk about music at all.

[Ed Larson]

We've asked about someone else's alien music.

[Henry Sowski]

Somebody should ask about. Someone should like, know more about. Like you should go research about Sun Ra because the Afro Futurism movement, you know, I'm not talking about you, I'm taking the audience. So it's like the Afro Futurism movement is really interesting in terms of both pop culture, sci fi, all of this stuff. There's so many cool things in Afrofuturism. And that's kind of what Sun Ra. I believe he created it.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, I would say he created it.

[Henry Sowski]

And he.

[Ed Larson]

It is just during his pre P Funk.

[Henry Sowski]

Well, he's just straight up saying black people are aliens and I'm bringing everybody back home. Like that's the thing. And it is a. It's beautiful to see. And so just talking with George Clinton about this because he's still so with it.

[Ed Larson]

He really is, man.

[Henry Sowski]

He's smoking that big old joint as long.

[Ed Larson]

I feel like he's more with it now than he has. But I had been my entire lifetime

[Henry Sowski]

the only time I had ever seen. I've seen him live and I've seen him do interviews. And I like the fact that we got to talk with him about UFOs and psychedelics. He is just. I can't believe it, dude.

[Ed Larson]

Him and Danny together. Cuz Danny is like the true P Funk historian.

[Henry Sowski]

Danny's the reason why the band continues to like live and go as good as it does.

[Ed Larson]

He knows more about them and what they've done than anyone else on earth, so.

[Henry Sowski]

And for those of you that don't know Danny Boan that was with or with George Clinton, he is the head organ player for P Funk. He is their. Their. He's George Clinton's consigliere. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Ed Larson]

Like basically the band leader.

[Henry Sowski]

He's the band leader and it is just him. We knew him from back in the day when Eddie used to work with him over at Hooters.

[Ed Larson]

That's right. Danny and I know each other forever from Hooters. We've been throwing parties, having fun ever at my house in Tallahassee. That's how I met true PCU life, dude.

[Henry Sowski]

That's how I met the junior George Junior. That's how met all the rest of the guys. Like, I. I remember being in that party, going to your house. How many stories am I allowed to tell?

[Ed Larson]

You're allowed to tell anything you want.

[Henry Sowski]

I think I told the story about the one time when all of P. Funk, the rest of P. Funk, except for George, wasn't there. And then I was allowed to go into the back private room. You let me go.

[Ed Larson]

That bedroom was the VIP room. I wrote VIP on it. And I paid one of my larger friends to stand in front of the door. And I'm like, you only let in our friend friends, celebrities and hooter girls. Yeah, I put a keg in my room. Yeah, dude. And a full bar. And, like. And I had one. And I had someone sitting in the corner rolling blunts. I almost had 30 people in my bedroom, dude.

[Henry Sowski]

I remember walking in there and they were all doing lines of blow. Like, all of P. Funk was doing, like, crazy coke. And then he, like, looked up at me. I never been like, sorry, everybody. I'll be going now. Enjoy the cocaine.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah, yeah, man. It was a wild time and I miss it, man. We had. I. I was able to talk the cops out of stopping our parties.

[Henry Sowski]

It was just so much fun.

[Ed Larson]

It was like you.

[Henry Sowski]

You gave me a real college existence during that time period.

[Ed Larson]

One of those parties was the first time we smoked weed together. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

It's awesome. Also, I want to do a bit of a correction because we're not going to do any listener emails because I don't really like. But I do someone brought up because on last week's episode of the Jimmy Sam Devil series that we're doing for last podcast on the Left a laugh a Minute.

[Ed Larson]

We are.

[Henry Sowski]

We talked about, like, one of the things that came up was about female novelty acts. And we were saying we can't think of a female novelty act. And we had a lot of people bring up after the fact, which I do understand. Garfunkel and Oates, obviously.

[Ed Larson]

The reformed horse.

[Henry Sowski]

Yes. But in my mind, I actually, like, I know them and like, I know them personally. Like, all that kind. In my mind, I don't like. This is. I feel like this is a side stories lpotlmail.com? that I'd love to open up to anybody else who maybe knows music theory or whatever. Is a comedy song and a novelty song the same thing?

[George Clinton]

Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

You see, I don't know, like, Garfield and Garfunkel and Oats to me are comedians and they make comedy songs and they make funny songs. And then, like, that's like one thing. That's one way. That's comedy songs. Weird Al does parodies songs.

[George Clinton]

Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

Where he makes like not novelty songs. He makes things that are like, you know, like specifically, you know the song that it's based on and it's a funny take on the based on song. Right. That thing. But then I believe novelty songs are stuff like they're not necessarily funny or like, like, like you know the ones that we brought up like we were talking novelty songs are like monster mash.

[Ed Larson]

The, the, the. The.

[Henry Sowski]

What's it. The.

[Ed Larson]

We thought of one. The purple polka dot bikini. Yes.

[Henry Sowski]

But even that we, we short shorts. Like those are not those. To me that's a novelty song where it is not a traditional song that then becomes a hit. Am I wrong in that? I don't know. Email me. Tell me why I'm wrong. Cuz I live every day to be told that I'm wrong.

[Ed Larson]

I feel like it's more muscles and like you know one of those pianos where you pull the string. Yeah.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah.

[Ed Larson]

To me that's what the novel.

[Henry Sowski]

I love to be. I love to learn. I live to be corrected. And I love laugh when the audience is right and I'm wrong.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Also go listen to the reformed horse. Why not?

[Henry Sowski]

Oh yeah, they're great.

[Ed Larson]

By the way.

[George Clinton]

What?

[Ed Larson]

You know, we got lots of things that we want to tell you to go do. But I saw this amazing movie last night and I really want to tell people to go see it because it's not playing in many places. Is a musical documentary about Billy Preston. It's called Billy Preston. That's the way God planned it. It's playing randomly in cities. It was only one showing here and I saw it last night.

[Henry Sowski]

He's the fifth beetle.

[Ed Larson]

Yeah. Go to Billy Preston film dot com. It's a very, very. It's one of the best music docs I've ever seen. It's traveling the country. It's going to lots of different places. So check it out. Make sure you watch it if you get the chance. It's totally worth it. I didn't know. He's very secretive person. Always has been. It seems like he was closeted.

[Henry Sowski]

Yeah, I did not know about that. He hid his gay relationships. I had no idea.

[Ed Larson]

And there's a lot of. He has a lot of shady time. He did a lot of drugs, you know. But it's very interesting and I, I think everyone should watch it out. Watch it uh. If you got channel the chance. It was beautiful and it. I was honestly Weeping half the movie.

[Henry Sowski]

That's beautiful.

[Ed Larson]

I was a regular Jimmy Carter in there. Oh, my peanuts. Yeah, I think he's overly empathetic. My peanuts.

[Henry Sowski]

I also want to say big shout out to Neon Genesis Evangelion. I've been watching that with my wife and I've been sort of. Well, she's been kind of half paying attention. And while I'm describing the things that are happening to it and why, it's awesome. She's been kind of doing that.

[Ed Larson]

So it's good just messaging her boy, boyfriend. The. She just knows you're distracted. Oh, man. All right, side stories hitting the road. April 17, Anchorage, sold out. You can't come.

[Henry Sowski]

Can't come. Don't even bother.
