#425 – Andrew Callaghan: Channel 5, Gonzo, QAnon, O-Block, Politics & Alex Jones

So anyways, we didn't know what to do because we tried to film. Don't snort. The initial idea for All Gas No Brakes was to, instead of asking people, what's your deepest, darkest secret? It was, what's the craziest trip you've been on? So the idea was to not satirize drunk people, but satirize people who are fried on acid.

And so we went to Boulder real quick, did a test interview with some lady who talked about seeing ancestral aliens during a peyote retreat. And so it's pretty easy to extract trip reports from hippies and, you know, gutter punks and stuff like that, or oogles. So... We go to Burning Man. We start asking people, like, you know, what's your craziest trip story?

And they didn't have the same type of free-flowing storytelling style that, like, an on-the-street cross-punk in New Orleans might have, where they're like, I don't give a fuck, I'll tell you whatever. These people were very bottled up about... they were willing to disclose. So we went on Burning Man Radio and we did a broadcast and we said, hey, we're doing, we're psychedelic journalists.

It was me and my friend CL at the time. I said, we're psychedelic journalists. We're parked on Tan and I, which is a cross street in Black Rock City. And we said, we have a 1998 Catalina Coachman Sport. It's an RV. We've set up a podcast studio. We're doing a show about psychedelic voyages. Yeah. So lo and behold, two hours later, we had 10 people lined up at the RV. Willing to talk.

There was this lady named Rosma who said that she was known in several circles in Berkeley for being multi-orgasmic and could create multiple repeated climaxes using only her mind by like squinting her eyes and squeezing her eyes together so much that like the pleasure spiral just, you know, went crazy. I feel like I talked to several people like that at Berkeley.

Right, but still, it was on the cruder end. There was one guy named Kimbo Slice was his burner name. He talked about taking a shit after taking a quarter of mushrooms and how he was seeing his childhood and visualizing his past life as the turds were flowing into the toilet and just talks about the psychedelic union between pooing and taking, taking shrimps. So he was very visual with his words.
