Post "Solo pod- Emergency Vibe-check" by "MSsecretpod"

Deep thoughts.....

People cling to safety because they're weak and afraid. A Shaman has arrived to guide them to strength found in understanding and courage. To free them from the face mask of fear and confusion. The opiate high of belonging to a group over knowing youre own Mind! Blessed be Tha Dawgz.

Pretty funny going back in time and listening to covid shit

Brother, I have some news for you… You’re basically describing the full 12 Step process outlined in the AA Big Book.

Got damn, this gave off heavy, marginally less gay JBP vibes. We need more vibe checks, dawg.

We need another vibe check

Matt you are the best bro thank you

you're the fucking man

Mcusker rules.

Real shit!

This is important content. The vibe is definitely off and I’m all the way over in Australia. The vibe needs to be saved.

This is exactly how I got off opiates. Also, if you're scared of mushrooms, and already on opiates, mixing fungus is a very pleasant, jimi-hendrix-like experience. It's pleasant if you're already doped up, but don't use more opiates In the middle of a trip, in my experience it can get strangely dark. I have a feeling it has to do with your pupils being dilated to suddenly pinned.

Great cast. Yahweh speaks through the shaman Not to sound like a big book dork but want to give my experience on AA/NA/etc - only the 1st of the 12 steps is about getting physically sober. The rest work on “emotional sobriety”. Quitting just to be the same asshole isn’t the point but why a lot of people start the process myself included. California sober ~5.5yrs. Thanks for the light and love. Mount up

Thanks man keep these coming we need the shaman powwow

Shout out to all the dawgz struggling out there. I'm with you. Never be afraid or ashamed to reach out when shit gets to gay. Even if it's to a stranger. In this age there's no reason to feel alone anymore. Love you retards, well most of you.

Joe Collins

Matt dude, no homo you're helping me out of a rut of booze that I have found myself in lately. Thanks bro.

Do more book of Matt

Matt Ive had 3 friends die this year from opiates alone. Keep talking about it. You da man

Man you really need to release these to the public. Thanks so much.

Jark

Love the solo pods Matt. Thank you for giving us a guiding vision.

Powerful Primate26

I'm 34yyrs old and going on 6 years clean off heroin. I got out right before the fentanyl started showing up everywhere, but the opiate epidemic still has taken more of my friends than COVID ever did. . . . including my soulmate:'( everybody is suffering in some way either physically, mentally or both and for some life is a cold, dark, miserable, unhappy place. Thank you for your words and for giving a shit Matt McCusker.

Matt, you speak to my soul

Lmfao bro you just described total recovery cmon bull you know this

People are living IN THEIR MINDS! This affected certain people, the majority it seems, in ways that won't come back. It changed them. Double masked in the car by themselves. I see it daily. It is such a bummer. I love my fellow man but dang dude it can't be up to me to pull them out of these mental graves they're creating. The wokeness of covid is so hard to argue with because to them woke is God. It's also showing that they don't have much in terms of thinking for themselves moreso just mimicking other ideals they've heard through social media. Asking people questions recently it seems like they're on a pull string. Love you guys and I appreciate the space to vent 🤙🙏

Those numbers are not the depressing part, the depressing part is that those numbers are completely fabricated and so many people act like they aren't. They blatantly/arrogantly admitted it from the very beginning: if you die of anything that isn't covid and you have covid, it's a covid death, and the hospital will get extra money for a covid death. The entire planet should have stormed the gates upon hearing that news, but everyone's too busy injecting dopamine into their souls. The even more depressing part is that the entire fabricated situation has bred a population of bootlicking zombies who ostracize people that ask questions and point out truths in the name of their new satanic religion: "science". PS: 700k is literally almost nothing in a population of 340million, nor is 5 million much in a population of 8+ billion. Numbers are tools of deception used to scare people who choose to not utilize the full capacity of their brains. This is not, nor has it ever been a "pandemic", but we live in the age of language manipulation and definition changing and the fat satisfied cows who graze on amazon deliveries and superhero movies that have accepted it all as perfectly normal. That's the motherfucking depressing part, homie.

Somewhere in an alternate universe there is a pro vax mandate Matt named Mask McCuckster who is harshing everyone’s vibe. But our god is great and has seen fit to put the chosen Matt in this realm.

My comment is probably gonna be lost in the void but recently I've been invited back to my old HS to volunteer coach wrestling. I'm 22 and my mom passed from fentanyl laced heroin at the start of the pandemic. I was a state placer and a big deal in a rich small town in PA. Never been afraid to speak my mind or say fuck you to the pta moms living here. Anything I can do to help the cause? Was thinking about trying to discuss mental health on the local news. I just wanna get people talking and get cheap/free therapy for people in need. More than happy to help the shaman. Drexel dropout too.

700k people died in the US. 5 million died around the world. People are gonna be a little depressed after that. We’ll shake it off.

Matt, this was awesome. It met me where it needed to. Thanks for sharing.

On point with reaching that extra level. There’s a season for everything. When you have exhausted resources mentally and spiritually to stay sober and you become bitter and resentful. You keep falling in the same traps but you know the literature and have relinquished yourself to being powerless over substances. When you’re able to take a personal inventory and made amends have gotten the reps in. That deep understanding can bring you to a place where I personally believe that it’s a good to acknowledge that you have willpower. I believe Giving away your willpower is essential in the beginning for sobriety but over time when You are no longer have the same void to fill then it’s essential to obtain your willpower and on your life. It becomes the next level for an individual in my opinion because you are no longer depending upon a group but you are aligned with a higher power of your own understanding then It’s time to take ownership of your life and move to the next level of spirituality. It’s when drinking or drugs become absurd outside of recreational use and that is entirely based on your truth. The craving is a part of suffering which is a part of life and it’s best to start where you have to earn that green or beer. If the drug is created to have you dependent and you are unable purely from a scientific perspective Two Kik whatever you enjoy then that shouldn’t be a part of your life. There are reasons that certain recreational drugs like green or wine has been on this earth for thousands of years. They can be tamed. It’s our job as humans to slay the dragon but this is my personal opinion And I highly suggest to first follow the methods that are in place such as AA and other treatments like psychedelics that have proven results. I truly believe that it’s essential though to reach the next level and to forgive yourself and be able to walk in confidence with your higher power and not feel ashamed by family or friends. They won’t shame you if You have shown yourself to be trusted and a part of the community. To become an adult and ultimately a fully realized human being. Then the endless quest for enlightenment Becomes more of a possibility. Do you

I like this. Thank you.

this is nice matt. A seemingly genuine reach to the boys. I have my first kid coming in 2 months and have been mad overwhelmed, and this hit. Not quite the demo you're reaching for maybe, but it still felt cool for someone to say 'it'll be ok, just chill'.

Where are we at time wise?

Miss me with that drug shit

sam k

Shut up fag

Damn bro, this ep was no bueno. Pretty much everything about it was bad. Maybe talk to guard dog or bring in a guest or something cus this was not good.

Lie To Me Jerry

"Young men of the fairest promise, who begin life upon our shores, inflated by the mountain winds, shined upon by all the stars of God, find the earth below not in unison with these, -- but are hindered from action by the disgust which the principles on which business is managed inspire, and turn drudges, or die of disgust, -- some of them suicides." - Ralph Waldo Emerson This type of thing is a new face on an old feeling. Stay strong, dawgz.

Summerfoolboat

where's the Hoss substack?

I've been struggling with addiction lately. Thanks for the mental check matt

keep the solos comin

Yo Matt real talk you should read the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous. I think you’d probably gain a lot of insight into the spiritual & emotional health element of the program, there’s a lot more to it than just abstinence from alcohol/drugs

Lie To Me Jerry

I am just about as stubborn as you about the mask, but if I have to ride public transportation or if occasionally an Uber driver nicely asks, I may have to grin and bear it and I fucking hate it. That being said, its your kid, man. I'd wear it and make it clear in perpetuity that it is against your will, that it is useless, and that she is using your child as a bargaining chip for nonsensical compliance. Calmly, like waves in the ocean, don't budge on your standpoint, which is clear and rational, but don't spaz. I have cut ties to family over this, and it was a long time coming, and it's honestly a burden lifted. But that's your kid, homie.

Lie To Me Jerry

Love ya Matt. Did want to add a thought about your idea of what Founchi does vs. what one does: I agree with the thought process of checking yourself and not just others, but with someone like him, the sticking point for me is an issue of scale, if not also intent. No matter how many shitty moments I have, it is not having anywhere near the deleterious effect his are. If people want that kind of power, they should be able to wield that kind of responsibility. Which I know is asking too much, but still. Yeah, Hitler was just a guy who was all twisted up, and in some respect he is you or me in a different time and place and circumstance, but let's run that relativistic and compassionate program in conjunction with the program that protects Good and the innocent and doesn't lead us to hell so quickly.

Caught a viiibbeee baby are u coming for the riideeee

Question for the Dawgs: To wear a mask to see my 3 yr old daughter, at the behest of her mothers family, or to not and peacefully decline possibly causing turmoil. I have absolutly no one in my life who will hear me out and discuss this with me without making me feel like a paranoid psycho who is overreacting. This may seem petty, but if i bow down here, where does it end? These people are the type to vax my kid without notifying me whatsoever. I feel like this is a chance to non-violently, calmy stand up in a small way to mindless tyranny. Am i fucking blitheringly insane?? Should I just shut up and roll over, so to speak? I know what i feel like i need to do, but i have nothing but the opposite of support from my family and 1 'friend'. If you dont have any advice, ill take prayers and well-wishes. Hope this makes sense, they got me, frazzled man. Lately its been very hard to think straight. I Love you all, bark bark! Im Gay! -Chris

Kayla

bless you

Thank Shane, some really wise words.

I think the vibe relies largely on where you live. I live in a freedom zone and our vibe has been 95% normal for over a year.

I needed this one. Vibe check successful. I need to fix mine

You know the vibe is off in Philly when we reach a record 510 murders in a single year.

This got me hard for the first time since the Pandemic. Hope to sustain it; chances are low however as I work for a fuckin college... That said, I want to fix the vibe, but never will there be a day I give a fuck about any death that is not personal; sick of folks expecting me to care about others when it's literally impossible to do (making people care). Caring is something that is earned and that is not a bad thing. I don't know, maybe I am just broken cause I adore my kids and partner, but care little to none for everyone else. Guess that is what happens when you're raised Catholic and your father is pathological lying gambler. That said, I do believe in wishing everyone well; may your dick always be the size of a Manning forhead and spray with the power of ones rookie season arm; cheers!

What a quality episode. God bless

I want spud and bill on TFH badly

Colin's flute?

Large Marge

Yeah after listening to Matt's analysis of Luke Skywalker I'm pissed at myself for having watched the rest of those shitty Disney movies. I should have turned it off after it was just a movie about Luke meditating in a cave for 60 years and finding peace the same way I should have never watched another Eagles game after they finally won the super bowl.

How about all the people that lost their jobs? Or had rents raised in a tough time or just lost their homes? It’s not just people dying man. People are being smashed from both sides of the “science” argument - when all they want to do is have a roof over their head for them, their family, and friends (and survive and thrive). This angle you’re coming from actually perpetuates the negative vibe.

Whatever you do, do not watch any more of those Star Wars films after she meets Luke. They will fully harsh your buzz.

jokester900

We need a mckuscker and Tripoli paytch ep

The vibe sucks because half the country still believes the bullshit coming from the “news”. And most of the other half is too scared to speak out against for fear of being “cancelled” by loud loony pussys on Twitter. Blows my mind! Cause I don’t know anyone in my blue collar life that’s on Twitter, the loudest brainwashed MINORITY is calling the shots for the rest of us! Lame!!!

Absolutely 💪

Thanks Matt, my vibe is totally fucked. Shit has been really getting to me lately. I can't take it, it's starting to grind me down mentally

I can see why this man has bagged a strong black woman. What a great mind. 🤞🏽

Unpopular Opinion

Do you understand how twisted our country is right now? The ones running the show right now are creating the narrative that the “Patriots” are White Supremists. Lol as if they didnt know the history of the origin of the left… haha. If im not mistaken, didnt the democratic party bloom from the southerners? I know something was fucked up when the head of rollin 60’s Crips said hell never vote for a democrat no matter what after being in prision and seeing behind that operation

Lol Matt check out shrooms Reddit, I think you are influencing people to share and have ego deaths lol you need to chilllllll not all these bills can handle it

Was billy trolling about the hammer thing? Hope he listens to this if it wasn’t a troll lol

Eternally grateful for you, Shaman McCusker. Consider me a four legged friend halfway through a box of crackers!

Garrett Reid

True patriot shit right here.

You rule

Vision quest it!

Hell yeah thanks!

nicedickdude

Thanks Matt, felt a little more tethered to substances these past 2 years. Quitting or moderation shouldn’t be the goal itself.

My gf told me to get vaccinated, I told her to stfu and suck my dick. (Full disclosure…I don’t have a gf and haven’t had my dick sucked in over a year).

Matt, you would love this book: The Apocalypse Unsealed: Being an Esoteric Interpretation of the Initiation of Ioannes, Commonly Called the Revelation of St. John

Love the solo ep Matt the gov didn’t treat the opioid epidemic like COVID because you can’t spread addiction through coughing

your vibes are prolly so good cuz of the 432hz you're on a different plane than the supermarket folk

Omg this gave me a belly ache

What’s the name of the boOk he’s reading ? The one he mentions at the beginning

For DAWGZ who wanna work on their mind space, check out the Waking Up App with Sam Harris. Shit helped me change my life. No prescription. Just assistance if you want it

Almost a full year clean from benzos myself. Big ups to you, keep at it dawg. SODTAOE

Geo Kap

More flute, please!

First solo episode I ever listened to, it was very good. Thanks Matthew.

The shaman’s vibesmithing was just what I needed to break the Talmudic mind spell the psychologist on rogan was entrancing me with. With a refreshed perspective following this wonderful half hour, I’ll now walk my dog 4 miles down the beach and do some push-ups before eating a healthy meal of ground bison, freekeh, and beans, then going to bed early. Also shoutout getting clean, I went to detox for opiates and benzos March 14 2020 and stuck it out, shit rules. Love you dawgz

AQ

I love Shaman Matt. He really needs to make this a regular thing that he does. Save the souls of the D.A.W.G.Z. One emergency cast at a time

Thank you for this!

This solo pod improved my vibe

when we stopped wearing mask by me you could tell alot of people havent seen a smile in a long time. so ive been making an effort to really throw out a smile cause it seems to brighten up most people.

Matt - love the ep. To your empirical question - In 2019, 70,630 drug overdose deaths occurred, at a 4% growth rate. So now it’s ~100,000. Implies pandemic may be responsible for 23k more drug overdoses than if we were at trend.

If you have to chose between heroin and SNL you are gonna take the H every time. Mainstream society sucks dick, why would you not do hard drugs

Good episode again Matt. Personally, I was pretty bummed for a while around the start of the pandemic and then after this last spring I just got sick of caring. Now I just work out every single day and smoke a lot of weed. Drink tons of water and hold down the job. It's really the solution.

its bad out there

You rock, Matt. Many Garcias, gran perro supremo

Otis Ray Hayes IV

No one ever quotes The Litany Against Fear in its entirety: I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

Let’s keep the dawgs strong, We will overcum

Love gay bill but we need a spud x shaman solo cast

Needed this, thanks shaman

Matt go back on war mode

Merfy Mac

People are masked by mandates and fear. Their identity is made irrelevant. They’re hunched over because they’re getting beaten. But that look of defeat comes from letting the beating happen without even trying to fight back.

Matt Earth Theory

Let’s all wear matching shoes.

You look into the 12 steps and how it’s done with real sober people. Not court order dildos. It’s all about being of service to God, Being sober is just a great side effect.

JH

We entered the Saturn cycle last year dog, going to be rough vibes out there for a while.

Dope cast dawg. There was never an incentive to stop the opiate crisis because the pharmaceutical companies were stacking bread and paying off congress. We see the reverse with covid, the "crisis" is being hyped up because there's a lot of money to be made (not to mention increased infringes on our rights, which will never be stepped back, see the patriot act for proof)

Nicholas R.

Vibe is bad right now across the country. Makes me really depressed. A lot of people thought getting Trump out of office would fix it, but it's a way bigger problem than that. I don't know what we can do.

Otis Ray Hayes IV

Start a cult. Lets go

You and the dad meat bubs need to sit and give us and updated program ep . Get us set up and inspired for the new year .

I've discovered my new calling in life, to be a vibesmith

I just stopped vaping last week after 3 years when I noticed I wasn't putting it down unless I was sleeping. He is 100% correct about dealing with your urges. I really broke down why I felt I needed it when I was quiting and facing it in that curious way like "man....am I that bitch?" 🤣 Love the pod.

Thanks a million Matt, I appreciate you

Thank you Jedi Master

Vibes been super off at my work. Showed up to a chaotic shift today but somehow i was able to cut thru the end of the year brain funk going on and tackle some adversity. This lunch time vibe check is much appreciated Matt.

Thank you

Thanks for looking out for the dawgs Matt!

Suicide is baaaad ass bro

Vibe officially checked

Thank you for this matt!

Lmao..

The vibes are good in the south. But in the cities I can see the vibes are hurting.

Reed Murray

Thank you Matt

A lot of people had their wages fucked with. Rent increased, debt raised, wages stagnated with massive inflation, childcare forcing parents to keep their kids out of school for 10+ days at any sign of the sniffles, constant rapid covid checks, adults forced to move back home with parents. Some people are doing fine or living their dreams etc. But the mass majority are deeply effected not by pandemic deaths. They are effected by the death of their regular lives. So when you go to the grocery store I would argue most are not sitting there worried about the numbers of deaths but rather the numbers in their accounts.

Book club is gay talk more about weed

Matt = 🐐

Merfy Mac

Patriot mode is beautiful but it's heroin

Wolfgang cho

What’s the update on the YouTube page?

I used to be addicted to opiates in 2012 and quitting was the best decision of my life.

Sorry to hear man. Hold your head, stick with the subs and try and taper down as you go. Reddit’s a shithole but there’s a lot of good advice on quitting. Good luck bro

Covid is the "flu". Nothing new under the sun. Change my mind.

Matt looks into the abyss and the abyss into him.

This worlds crazy man, I lost a grandfather to covid/hospital born pneumonia and also lost a grandmother who we barely got to see the last year because they were in a nursing home with heavy covid restrictions. While my grandfather was in the hospital, nobody was allowed to visit him, he wasn’t allowed to leave his bed to get vitamin D (even after he was covid free and was battling hospital born pneumonia), they wouldn’t allow us to try alternative treatment, etc. I’m not allowed to question whether or not these intense restrictions played a part in his death or my grandmothers rapid decline of health. I’m currently a medical anthropology student at the university level and there hasn’t been one conversation around the ethics of government sanctions over the duration that’s occurred in the last almost 2 years. We gotta open up, physically and ideologically

Dude, please find a way to get the old Paytch pod videos back up! Please! Please! Please! Someone has to have them downloaded somewhere!!

I think this really depends on where you live. Get the fuck out of the big city. I moved from NYC to countryside in NC and everything is lovely and has been all normal for more than a year. Get away from the brainwashed hypochondriacs who think corporate press tells the truth.

Thanks Matt, I really can appreciate this. I just found out about a friend that OD'd last night. The vibe needs reconstruction 🙏🏿

gengar_orangesoda

In the grocery store they're the problem not you. If you don't move your hips to Earth Wind and Fire you have no soul

That’s just PA bro go to the market in Hawaii vibes are fuckin chillin

yeah west tx here. shits pretty much normal for me. love to those struggling tho

JH

Sadly, the malaise you are observing won't dissipate until (correctly or not) people stop caring and consider it fake. Patriot mode is the only way through.

👍

This solo cast is gonna make me do H

Yo that vibe is just how it felt for me living in the northeast the past few years, everyones miserable and cant wait to take it out on you, finally moved back down south and people smile wave and are friendly and its such a relief

Josh Dennis

Hey Jon Berry, suck my dick homo

A guy threw his bike off the sidewalk while I was in my car going 50 the opposite direction. The vibe definitely be off

Those hips don’t lie, Matt.

My brother and my cousin both overdosed and died. In a span of 3 months. During COVID. The funerals were wack to say the least. I’m on suboxone. Hoping to be off of it in a few years.

It seriously feels like there are 90-95% less human beings on this planet then there were 2 years ago. I feel you, Matty. My world hasn't changed a bit, been trucking right on through this bullshit, but it's hard to not get sad when I think about the fact that I can't go to any place in my fucking city of brotherly love and get something to eat, see a music concert, etc because I won't participate in the mandate/mask horse shit. The most shocking part is the kids I see every day on my drive home from work wearing masks. The fact that they have parents that allow this is unbelievably unbelievable. Those kids are fucked so hard. They actually enjoy the masks now. They think it makes them good. The only thing that brings me any comfort is my realization that all these people are on tons of psych meds, highly processed/poisoned foods, and staring into the false reality in the palm of their hand all day. I will remain human until I die. I know you will too, Matt. And that helps me, brother. But goddamn it's getting cold out here among the zombies. For the record I still don't know anyone who has died of covid and I know three suicides.

Matt Collins

Reading my mind.

95% of covid deaths had 6+ co-morbidities

New Zealand Goblin aka Peggy

Ahh serious second for a minute guys. Shit definitely is getting wild out here, I live in NZ and I'm unvaccinated and prepared to be segregated from most of society from today. This podcast has legitimately kept me sane in the last year. Love all the dawgs

How about you watch your stupid mouth?
