GAM346: Eat the Sun
Added 2022-04-04 18:12:09 +0000 UTCThis week, we ask the questions "do you really need to eat food?" and "does staring directly into the sun damage your eyes?" and find that the answers are, unequivocally, "yes" and "yes."

Listening through the back catalog, and Eli's tone in the first interstitial is *so fucking real.* "I don't... I don't know what I'll do." Holy shit, the feels.

2022-04-09 05:42:26 +0000 UTCApparently the body builder who just wants attention in the film was actually a breatharian guru caught eating at McDonald’s. He then preached that Big Macs and Diet Coke provide spiritual 5D energy(?). It’s fucking weird. https://screenshot-media.com/the-future/food/breatharianism-diet-cult/

2022-04-07 08:29:35 +0000 UTCI can't remember what episode it was, but apparently Eli was a 9/11 truther and someone convinced him to go talk to Noah about it.

2022-04-06 03:32:51 +0000 UTCI'm so glad Eli met Noah and got pulled from the crazy edge. Has Noah told the story about how was able to back away from the woo?

2022-04-05 20:42:23 +0000 UTCIt was mentioned that he was a skijumper. I am Norwegian and it is a very popular wintersport here. Just want to mention that there is a problem with eating disorders among the male atletes ok this sport. Thought it might be worth mentioning.

2022-04-05 12:54:27 +0000 UTCCrazy. I'm listening to old episodes of everyone's from the past. Currently listening to February of 15, and just listened to a CogDis where the Breatharian cult leader got busted eating at McDonald's, then claimed McDonald's was a 5th dimensional space, so it was ok.

2022-04-05 03:30:36 +0000 UTCIf you pay attention the people in this only ever stare at the sun when it’s low in the sky because at that time of day the light is coming through a shit load of atmosphere and you can just about stand to look at it without pain (thought it’s still not good for you). You never see anyone looking straight up at mid day because that would be agony.

2022-04-04 20:00:32 +0000 UTCI have been looking for a breatharian documentary since 60 Minutes Australia tested Jasmuheen's claims and her kidneys nearly shut down. GAM just whips one out like it ain't no thing. I'm so mad right now.

2022-04-04 19:47:05 +0000 UTCRemember Drumpf staring at the eclipse everyone was warned to “not stare at directly.” This reminds me of that. I was so ready for this episode that I tried to find stuff on YT from this and the comments on clips of this were either true believers or very good impersonators.
