It was wild to hear the boys talk about something that not only I was alive for, but I lived in the area when it happened!

I’ll add a couple extra tidbits for anyone interested: • While some areas of Australia will have slightly different slang terms for things, where I group up a “fire bug” was someone who started fires, not necessarily a firefighter groupie like the boys sort of indicated. If you live in the southern states of Australia, you would order a potato cake at a fish & chip shop and not a scallop like those further north do. • The radiant heat of the fires was so hot that people who left it too late to leave had their tyres fail on their cars when they did try to escape. • One of the coolest stories I heard was a group of firefighters survived an area where the fire had gotten overhead and around them. They climbed into a ground level concrete water tank, and held their jackets up against the tank to insulate against the heat. • Indeed the skies went red, I lived in town, and we couldn’t see the neighbours house across the road for days. • The closest spark point for the fires in my area apparently started from some powerlines that had fallen down. I hadn’t heard anything about the subject of the Pyromania episode before today. He’d be having a very hard time now from anywhere he moved to if he kept his real name.

Just realized something. Back in December, Marcus mentioned he was going off all his medications. Obviously, I wasn’t trying to be parasocial or weird—and if anyone knows how to manage their mental health, it’s Dogmeat. But it struck me as odd, since he had previously talked about how helpful being medicated was.

Then he shared that he’d received a completely new diagnosis—shifting from Bipolar to ADHD—and I realized that’s probably why he stopped everything: he needed to switch medications entirely.

Anyway, as someone with ADHD and depression, this show—and Marcus in particular—has been a huge inspiration for me to start working on my own mental health. “It’s not your fault, but it is your responsibility” has become my mantra through all of it.

Just really grateful for the show, as always. Hail yourselves!

Anyone else excited for this weeks episode? I always wanted to see them properly explore this topic!!

What the hell!!!!

Rewatched the last waltz for the hundredth time the other night. Couldnt stop laughing at the resemblance. Sorry if this has been posted before. Hail yourselves.

Anyone else think it's hilarious the way Henry says emupaintings.COM in the square space add? It made me chuckle this morning.

Sorry if it's been posted before, but I snagged a couple cans of this to try and at the bottom it has the phonetic pronunciation. Made me think of the boys.

In honor of Marcus and all you Hawkwind fans out there

I went through something similar to Marcus. I was always immediately diagnosed with depression and anxiety (the only condition that was always ruled out was bipolar disorder, ironically), but I knew there had to be more to it than that. Standard treatments for depression and anxiety help, but they're definitely not a cure all for me.

Several years ago, my therapist told me that he thinks my depression is more of a complication of an underlying condition, namely ADHD. The next year was a struggle to find a provider who would even talk to me about adhd much less treat me for it.

I finally ended up in the hospital from a suicide attempt, and the doctor who treated me happened to know my therapist professionally and respected his opinion. That's when I finally got my official diagnosis and started getting a treatment that actually helped me improve my mood and feel motivated to improve my existence. But, now, the struggle starts over every time I have to change providers. I have to prove to people that I actually "deserve" the medication and not just taking it for fun.

Anyway, if Marcus is reading this, I just want to thank you for sharing your mental health journey. It helps the rest of us feel less alone. "It's not my fault, but it is my responsibility" is my new mantra. LPotL had gotten me through some pretty rough times, with a smile, even. I'm very grateful.

I think we agree that Henry's attempt at the accent is awful. One of the biggest problems is he's not using "cunt" constantly.

It has to be posted

It’s a really good read about Jonestown and the tourism surrounding it

SOLVED! Looking for the Last Stream video of a local news story about pickup lines directly before a news break on Sept 11, 2001. I think it was at the end of a stream, and I think it was toward the end of Kissel, beginning of Ed. Help!

The subtle record scratches just killed me, I can’t point to why but just listening to spooky spaghetti then a record scratch as they go off topic sent me.

I just relistened to some of their WW2 episodes and I feel like covering the escapes from Stalag Luft III warrant an episode. Or even just prison escapes in general. I think the boys would crush an Alcatraz (PELICAN) specific episode.
