Episode 100 should be locking this guy, Don Toni, and Wendigoon in a room while Sam, Poob, and Bryan are on the other side of the glass trying to get them to fight each other
@@juliusevola4135 Holy shit that'd be so funny if in a Forehead Fables special where they bring back all of their favorite guests in one episode, they have a spirit box sitting on a chair for John MacAfee.
Poobs Ad reading being as robotic and stiff as possible is the best part of every podcast. I feel like there should be the sound of concrete scraping as he reads a script verbatim
@wowee21 Jesus man, go outside To hate someone that much you have never met or has never done anything to you or necessarily bad in general You need to calm the f**k down and get a life, as it's sad you hate him so much
Rick Levine reminds me of what Poob would be like after 1 or 2 bad run-ins with gas station sushi. No hate to him though. Rick that is, screw off Poob.
It would be cool to get a mythology expert as a guest. Goes with the past experts being an astrologer, a roman history expert, and a religious expert. Plus it ties in Poob's love of cryptids and creatures.
A wyzard of the stars enthralls The foreheaded hydra with stories of itself it had not known. Thank you o great star wyzard, for revealing the story of the hydra and showing us all its weaknesses.
@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 bro half the stuff he talked about them somewhat applied to me. its all stuuf that can sorta be applied to everyone until he finds something you react to and laches on. they even expanded past just what sign, they got secondary signs and more just to cast a wider net of bullshit
@@TheGuy___no, i really am a impulsive person, but also a little bit calculating, and very talkative, but also a bit introverted, and very driven, but also a bit lazy, and smart, yet a little dumb and....
i like how he was trying to play that off as science being the one in the wrong when he had to dance around saying that there's no evidence for what he's talking about
He has the voice of a handsome younger gentleman. I listened for an hour and just looked at the video and I hope I am still as sharp as him if I get to that age.
What your father and/or mother had to eat around the time of your conception has more to do with the person you are than the planets. If planets can have any effect on people, then so would all other bodies in the Milky Way, but you don't see astrology people analyzing those. The simple fact that identical twins can have wildly different personalities is enough to debunk this whole thing.
Yea it's all crap, but I think they know it too, they have him there for entertainment which is fine. To genuinely believe that planets have any sort of effect on a person/brain is nuts thought
Im not into astrology, but if I had to guess what this guy would say, it'd be about his fate vs. free will/nature vs nurture thing, where although the charts are the same, the fact that they live together throughout a lot of their childhood will just mean by human action that they won't act the same as the other. Then I guess we'd have to find some twins who were seperated at birth to answer that.
one of my favorite recurring jokes, love when he says he gets up in the morning and drinks that green juice before working out, knowing full well he wakes up at 3pm with a massive hangover
On one side, he is pretty full of whimsy and mystique, on the other hand, I feel like those thousands of students of his, as well as his following especially in idonesia are kinda getting scammed by the oldest trick in the book, or I should say second oldest trick in the book, the first one was divination via scattering of the animal's intestines after it was sacrificed. As always the Forehead Fables Podcast brings very thought provoking subjects to the broader audience! Bravo!
The mental gymnasts he goes through to link things together is laughable. Like how we have 12 months because of astrology. No we have 12 months because of ceaser adding 2 more
@@ambzc Yeah thats what an astrologist does at the end of the day, as any divine teller, I really hope our 3 goofs here wont get any ideas from what he told them, besides I myself am an asparagus of the third moon inclination, I sorta sense these kind of people in advance
there is possibly something to be said about how time of birth might affect certain personality traits. but having it be tied to star constellations is perhaps a bit much.
@@boarfaceswinejaw4516 I very much agree with the whole concept of "as above so below", its been proven basically by the whole quantum mechanics branch of science, we just don't know the scope of this interlocking between the two as of yet, its just a shame that this guy profits off of real science and ancient cultures around the world, hes kind of perpetrating a mega disinformation campaign. I did like the fact that he quoted Yung in saying his teachings kinda get a positive effect on people and might do the trick where psicology cant, but that by the end of the podcast sounded more like an excuse to not take any responsibility of any bad that may come out of it. Quite scummy, plus the dude looks like he touched for sure some kid on his trips in Indonesia (sorry for the long reply)
@@ambzc also old norse cultures, ancient Germanic tribes, and many ancient Asian cultures used a base 12 counting system comes from how they count using your thumb to count the knuckle bones on your fingers. use of base 12 k so there are 12 hours in a day and 12 in a night so we have 24 hours later on when we had to deal with seasons a lot of people realised there were 4 distinct seasons not sure when they would start so they divided the year into 10 months because they had switched to counting the individual fingers and thumbs and we weren't very good at predicting the exact season shifts so you get a bit of leway when a season starts but you can get the general idea of winter comes in about x amount of days better rotate the crops for that. next this guy named Julius ceaser came along and wanted a month named after him so we had 11 for a stint then his nephew Augustus came along and wanted a month named after him so we got 12 after that people said no more we got 4 seasons and 12 is divisible by 4 this works stop screwing with the calender.
The most impressive thing is how good this guy is at coming up with broad assumptions about everyone that are just distinct enough that it doesn't seem repetitive. Point being, he's an entertainer through and through; he can even be therapeutic to some but ultimately he is peddling mental snake oil, c.f. phrases like "may or may not", "has never been or will never be" and "just food for thought". No front but his line of reasoning for us being crystals is that geometry in nature is a thing (geometry != crystals) and I don't know how this is related to the first point, but apparently crystals are "energetic" because they are in radios... You can choose to believe the ramblings of a star wizard in a cool shirt but ultimately, as a wise man (Poob) once said to a homeless person asking for change: "Change comes from within, brother."
This was really a stunning example of confirmation bias in action, especially Poobs segment. Starting out incredibly vague with a baseline of personality he already knew, then throwing stuff out looking for reactions. It was very apparent when he brought up anything slightly accurate the boys would react quite obviously and so he'd push more into that, but then for example when he talked about something happening in May-June and got absolutely no reaction he quickly gave an excuse about fog before moving on to try something else. The divorce bit especially he latched onto when Poob revealed it happened early in life; he first mentions like 2001-2, then moves onto 2003 still getting nothing, then moves onto 2004 and then as far as 2006-7 as he's still getting no revealing rise out of Poob, while making the retroactive excuses for the earlier dates that they were periods of strenuous decline. Plus some simple social fishing, like Poob mentioned dating but not having a current long term relationship so he went into that being a commitment thing, or because Poobs young he went into not knowing what he's doing with his future. And then because people really only grasp onto exiting moments and quickly forget about the other constant stream of information that wasn't accurate, the take away for someone that wants to believe is quite strong. Not to mention in the beginning of the episode his immediate use of phrases, jokes and misdirections when they asked him about something he clearly wanted to steer away while maintaining a specific aura of wisdom. I feel like this all was a much more revealing look at astrology than anyone would otherwise actually talk about outright and was really interesting to see in motion. Edit: Also funny in retrospect that all that could really be said about Brian is that Scorpios keep things hidden because he gave absolutely nothing away haha.
Just to correct him on the case of Science having an issue with Astrology. Science doesn’t critique Astrology because of repeatability, it disagrees because it can’t predict shit. You can’t predict a single thing with Astrology, it’s inherently post hoc explanation. They can’t tell you that your life will change because of X, but they’ll be sure to tell you that it did because of X afterwards. Also, an astrologist is no different from a cold reading psychic, utilizing positivity bias and the Barnum effect to make people believe profiles. But an astologer cannot get a profile of a person and predict anything about the horoscope, nor can they predict anything about a person based on their personality.
i'm going to think that he hired a private investigator and he skimmed through all of the youtube videos, because if i'ts not that, im converted to astrology
I feel like I dont see many comments on these podcasts concerning whether or not someone should be back on, but this guy should definitely be back on at some point.
Bryan: "Ask him about Rust, alright, his Rust days" Poob: "The coding language?" Poob's such a dork for that, a total of 3 people in this audience are even going to know that Rust is a programming language. It was such a quick and unrecognised joke, good one tho
"There's a part of you that has this trait, but another part of you DOESN'T have this trait". General cold reading statements that could apply to literally anyone.
@@devonyoung354unfortunately many people wanna feel special and honestly want someone to tell them how they should feel about themselves. Its insane how many people fall for it. I mean its either that or they are just casually interested. To me this was like listening to preacher except without any cool stories with metal fucking endings.
@@devonyoung354because the average forehead fables viewer is rtarded. The people who believe that garbage are the same people who believe you can change your gender.
It cracks me up they paint Wendigoon as some crackpot teacher with "fantasy history" as Bryan puts it and then treat this guy like it isn't ACTUALLY lunatic fanfiction lmaooo.
Interesting how astrology selectively appropriates things to apply their theorum, such as reffering to martial law deriving from the planet mars, when the planet mars was not named for a long time AFTER the religious god mars
You guys should throw a big party like that for all your RU-vidr friends and get Rick to be your Wizard like old times I wanna see what Wranglerstar decides to get rid of. Not sure how he'll fit the whole ATF in the pit, but he'll figure something out
I’m so glad you had him on because people or so dumb nowadays that if Rogan had him on JRE youd have a bunch of 40 year old divorced men asking each other what their signs are 😂😂
Put him in the dnd campaign as "The Wizard of Febohree" I think this episode was a really killer idea. I thought Poob to be the great prophet of humility, truth, and morality; but instead learned he is the cunning death power liar that has deceived us all. All that time I thought he was chill, respecting authority and shit. But now I found out your taking it down? We know were you where born.
@@TheGuy___it works for some people, like religion, it’s all mumbo jumbo to me, but it does work for those who believe, so let them have it. Besides they at least have equations and formulas they have to do. And tracking the planets. They don’t affect us like this, but they are actually doing something and not just believing or reading old words. Because I’ve been into science a long time, I wanted to be a physicist, and history. And those two fields are constantly eating their words and being wrong but protesting they are right all the time. So yes science is there, but we don’t know everything either.
Poor guy had to start pulling lore from avatar the last airbender as Brian has no discernable personality to work with. Reading that back it's too funny to not say but a bit harsh so I'm going to add that I'm just joking.
22:40 Marshall law does not come from mars, it is a persons name, Marshall law refers to the Marshall court, a time period in which a supreme court chief justice with the last name of Marshall utilized the supreme court system to execute mass legal change in the US, Marshall law refers to the similar strengthening of the law during times the nation is in duress.
While I don’t think planets affect everyone the way they make it seem, we don’t know man. While we have science which is equations and formulas. We don’t know shit. Experts are proven wrong all the time. Not saying astrology works, but don’t be so close minded. When an expert tells me the caveman left the cave with an orange, leather sack, and two rocks, I don’t believe them. When they said humans didn’t do such and such until this time. Well they recently found a wood hut that’s half a million years old, and humans were in Americas before they originally thought.
This was an awesome and super interesting episode, I love it when you guys have guests that provide some educational value, but maybe that's just cause I'm a capricorn...
