    • Boasting after hunting and fighting.

    The "Iz Moment":

    • Speeding: "It's not his fault! It's not his fault! We were listening to a rocking song. He got too excited". Don't listen to "I Fought the Law" while driving. And the story of my green and purple glittery nail polish.

    Episode:

    Father's Bolelli Sunday School: The Bible according to Quentin Tarantino:

    • Thank You God for Killing Those Egyptian Children

    The "Rant of the Day":

    • A friend gives me the keys to his vacation home, I end up having sex on his dinner table. Ethical or problematic?
    • Why 'positive thinking' bugs me. Inspiring people vs. peddling a moralistic tale. Showing the struggle and missteps along the way rather than selling an image. Unless you know what it means to battle against demons, how are you going to help anyone else? Tasting your own blood is the first prerequisite to being a fighter

    The "I Have A Dream" Corner:

    • You mean you don't dream of murdering people?!?

    The "Iz Moment":

    • Isabella's insane level of empathy
    • I feel things too much, but I rather feel too much than too little

    The "Storytelling Moment":

    • Teenagers camping in the forest... what could possibly go wrong?

    The "Ask Bolelli" Corner:

    • What the hell is The Drunken Taoist about? It's about living life with intensity. It's a temperature more than a topic
    • Injuries in combat sports; picking good training partners

  • BONUS Episode 4 - Taoist Lecture Series

    Notes:

      "There is life beyond death, I know, and I know this, too, Conan of Cimmeria"—she rose lithely to her knees and caught him in a pantherish embrace-"my love is stronger than any death! I have lain in your arms, panting with the violence of our love; you have held and crushed and conquered me, drawing my soul to your lips with the fierceness of your bruising kisses. My heart is welded to your heart, my soul is part of your soul! Were I still in death and you fighting for life, I would come back to the abyss to aid you-aye, whether my spirit floated with the purple sails on the crystal sea of paradise, or writhed in the molten flames of hell!

I knew what the consequences would be if I failed, and I was willing to accept them. So, any of you reading who might be feeling a twinge of sympathy, don't. I made my decisions, and I accept the consequences. I'm no victim. And to those who are thinking about preaching at me, don't bother. I won't hear you. I haven't accomplished anything in this life worth remembering by playing it safe. That's boring to me anyway." - Evan Tanner

    • A Drunken Taoist t-shirt thread on the forum?
    • Game of Thrones is like watching The Godfather without the last 20 minutes. A sense of cynicism and meaninglessness. If I want reality, I look out the window. I want to be inspired. Movies, art, music, books as fuel to feed the fire.
    • "Who the fuck cares if it's a good movie or not? Does it make you jump out of your chair and inspire you to do something amazing with your life? Then it interests me. Otherwise..."
    • The Tao of driving on the freeway. Learning how to flow vs. how "it should be"

    The "Storytelling Moment": 

    • The lovely biblical tale of Lot, a righteous man who offers his virgin daughters to a mob so they can rape them in order to preserve the laws of hospitality. Our tale includes women turned into pillars of salt, God doing some smiting, and Lot's daughters getting their father drunk and raping him to preserve the human race. 
    • God kicks the devil's ass in the biblical body count 

    The "Ask Bolelli" Corner:

    • Taoism and sexual alchemy? Not my thing.
    • My MMA experience: cage fighting, the discovery that "scare the shit out of you" is not just a figure of speech and facing one's fears.

    • Miniature waterfalls and sweat lodges on four wheels, words from Bruce Lee & Muhammad Ali', monsters under your bed (speaking of which, check out http://www.danielebolelli.com/2012/12/13/in-the-beginning-was-fear)

    The "Storytelling Moment":

    • Michelangelo Merisi aka Caravaggio: his biblical paintings are what a movie about the Bible directed by Quentin Tarantino would look like. Why Pisa and Livorno hate each other. Want to raise the Pope's blood pressure? Then when you are asked to paint the Virgin Mary get a hooker as a model. Artist and escape artist. Stabbing pimps and bludgeoning cops.

    but an eternal night of sleep awaits us
    when our brief light turns to darkness.
    Give me a thousand kisses, and a hundred more.
    Then a thousand, and another hundred.
    And then more thousands and hundreds.
    Let's scatter them, then,
    so that no one can envy us
    by knowing how many kisses we have shared.

  • Episode 2 - Bolelli vs Dualism

    Welcome to Episode 2! 

    Here's what's on the menu' today: 

    The "I Have a Dream" corner: our feature about the weird dream of the month. This one focuses on the joys of having a miniature Dalai Lama as a pet. 

    The "Ask Bolelli" Corner: Where your questions about the universe and everything get answered! We start easy with a literary question which will lead us into a discussion of Aztec, a book that makes the TV show Spartacus look like something written by frigid Puritans horrified by blood. If there were a prize for the most sex&blood under one cover, this book would win it hands down. Also, cannibalism makes any story more fun. 

    "The Storytelling Moment": about Gonzalo Guerrero who was half of the first interracial couple on the mainland of the Americas--a tale of human sacrifice, finding love between the thighs of a tattooed Maya woman, and heroic death in battle. At the end of it, tattooed Mayan women will gently guide you into dream land. 

    And the "Rant of the Day": Bolelli vs. Dualism (and relativism too), the enemy of my enemy is my friend, screw Jarred Diamond, "I just want to punch you in the face repeatedly, not because it's going to enlighten you, but just for my satisfaction."

  • Episode 1 - Duncan Trussell: Vampire Hunter

    Intro:

The conversation ranges from the most disgusting stories ever about Duncan and his sex toys (if you are a sensitive soul... sorry!) to slaying vampires, to good porn vs. bad porn, to debating the finer points of Taoist philosophy, to the beauty of paradox. You'll learn about the hot but evil lady I was flirting with, the tale of Lao Tzu being thrown in jail by an overenthusiastic fan, why Yin and Yang are making out, and the fact that great chefs don't follow recipes. And last but not least "Rules are for people who are too stupid to live without rules.
