Music.

00:00:18.322 --> 00:00:22.082
Hey welcome to a well

00:00:22.082 --> 00:00:24.802
the new season of the

00:00:24.802 --> 00:00:27.582
hammer drops podcast I will be your host through

00:00:27.582 --> 00:00:30.562
this season I'm layak first and foremost I

00:00:30.562 --> 00:00:34.062
want to thank the guys

00:00:34.062 --> 00:00:38.002
in chainwax for allowing me to use their part

00:00:38.002 --> 00:00:43.282
of their song my mistake for my intro and outro for the show if you ever get

00:00:43.282 --> 00:00:47.802
a chance to see these guys in illinois i would definitely recommend you doing

00:00:47.802 --> 00:00:52.882
that it's a high energy show great fucking music and to boot they're great fucking

00:00:52.882 --> 00:00:55.022
dudes go check them out if you're ever in illinois,

00:00:55.902 --> 00:01:01.722
you won't be disappointed so the whole purpose of this episode this small episode

00:01:01.722 --> 00:01:06.942
today is to let you guys know kind of what you can expect in the new season

00:01:06.942 --> 00:01:12.122
all right so i know the previous This season, it's been heavily politics,

00:01:12.962 --> 00:01:16.642
heavily bashing the Biden regime and all that stuff.

00:01:17.162 --> 00:01:21.702
I promise you this season is going to be less of that.

00:01:22.542 --> 00:01:28.522
Obviously, Biden's out of office now, but that's not going to matter to me.

00:01:28.942 --> 00:01:31.682
But it's going to be less politics.

00:01:32.382 --> 00:01:34.822
You know, we're still going to talk about news politics and all that stuff,

00:01:34.922 --> 00:01:38.602
but it's not going to be as prominent as the last couple of seasons were here.

00:01:40.502 --> 00:01:46.942
So another thing that's going to change with the show and the format is I'm

00:01:46.942 --> 00:01:48.682
going to take the gloves off. Okay.

00:01:49.002 --> 00:01:55.982
I was kind of going easy the first couple seasons just to kind of find my footing and all that stuff.

00:01:56.861 --> 00:02:03.821
But I have decided that I'm going to piss people off and I'm going to piss people off on the right.

00:02:04.001 --> 00:02:06.781
I'm going to piss people off on the left. I'm going to piss people off in the middle.

00:02:07.101 --> 00:02:13.581
It don't matter because if I'm not pissing somebody off, then I'm not doing my job.

00:02:14.001 --> 00:02:17.161
Well, it's actually not a job, but I'm not doing what I should be doing.

00:02:17.561 --> 00:02:22.341
And that's making or helping you guys like critical,

00:02:22.701 --> 00:02:25.821
be a critical thinker and take the

00:02:25.821 --> 00:02:31.661
different perspectives that you're hearing and just look at them because unfortunately

00:02:31.661 --> 00:02:38.281
a lot of people nowadays they don't do that but the best thing about this is

00:02:38.281 --> 00:02:41.081
like i said we're not going to be all about politics because if you want to

00:02:41.081 --> 00:02:45.241
hear just politics there's thousands of other,

00:02:45.701 --> 00:02:52.041
podcasts out there that do it you have plenty of tv radio that you can go listen to that shit on.

00:02:52.761 --> 00:02:56.001
Here we're going to talk outside of

00:02:56.001 --> 00:03:02.701
that we're going to talk about motorcycles norse paganism everyday life just

00:03:02.701 --> 00:03:06.781
anything and everything a lot of things that are near and dear to my heart we're

00:03:06.781 --> 00:03:12.981
going to talk about even things that aren't holistic healing so you my listeners will have,

00:03:13.661 --> 00:03:18.141
another option so you don't have to depend on continuously going to your doctor

00:03:18.141 --> 00:03:27.761
and being a customer for big pharma i i absolutely hate you know western medicine because they don't,

00:03:28.321 --> 00:03:34.441
heal you they just create customers and if i can provide you guys with information

00:03:34.441 --> 00:03:39.321
that they try to say is bad after doing the research on it and provide you with

00:03:39.321 --> 00:03:48.141
hey this isn't bad like i did in a couple episodes with nicotine and marijuana stuff like that or thc.

00:03:49.740 --> 00:03:55.560
This way you guys have that information, okay? So when we start talking about

00:03:55.560 --> 00:03:58.540
motorcycles, you know, we're going to talk, I'm going to talk to you guys about

00:03:58.540 --> 00:04:01.440
motorcycle clubs because I know there's a lot of people out there and there's

00:04:01.440 --> 00:04:03.020
a lot of people, you know,

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:08.240
they're looking for that camaraderie, that brotherhood,

00:04:09.300 --> 00:04:10.920
just something's missing from their life.

00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:15.200
And a lot of people look to wanting to go to motorcycle clubs.

00:04:16.200 --> 00:04:19.800
And I'm going to talk to you about motorcycle clubs because I've been in motorcycle clubs.

00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:23.500
I'm going to give you the truth. I'm not going to sugarcoat it.

00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:27.600
And I know that is going to piss off some people, but that's okay.

00:04:28.300 --> 00:04:34.140
Because if I can reach at just one person who's on the fence about wanting to join a motorcycle club.

00:04:34.400 --> 00:04:38.720
Now I'm not saying motorcycle clubs are all bad, but I will tell you the things

00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:43.800
that you should look out for and why and what you can kind of expect going into it.

00:04:45.100 --> 00:04:48.980
Some other stuff like holistic healing, like I was talking about,

00:04:49.100 --> 00:04:51.100
we're going to talk about that Norse paganism.

00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:55.780
When I talk about Norse paganism, I'm not going to bash any other religion because

00:04:55.780 --> 00:04:59.320
it is not my right to bash what you believe in.

00:04:59.880 --> 00:05:02.880
Everybody believes in something, whether it's a higher power,

00:05:03.060 --> 00:05:07.720
whether it's God, whether it's, you know, Norse gods, the Greek gods, whatever.

00:05:08.500 --> 00:05:12.700
Everybody believes in something. And there's those that don't,

00:05:12.740 --> 00:05:18.100
that they're agnostic, you know, where they just don't believe in anything and that's fine.

00:05:18.360 --> 00:05:21.240
And I'm okay with that, but I'm not going to have a show that,

00:05:21.480 --> 00:05:24.760
you know, where there's like a lot of those, those podcasts out there,

00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:29.040
you know, there's a few of them out there that, you know, talk politics that

00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:32.640
have prayer on them and all that stuff. I'm not going to do that here.

00:05:33.627 --> 00:05:37.367
I'm not going to do that here. So you don't have to worry about that,

00:05:37.427 --> 00:05:42.087
but I'm going to shed some light on Norse paganism and why it's so important in my life.

00:05:42.267 --> 00:05:51.087
And it's making a huge comeback in all across the world, which is very cool,

00:05:51.087 --> 00:05:55.467
but you have to take a step back and wonder why that is happening.

00:05:56.127 --> 00:06:00.027
And we're going to dive into that, like why that aspect of it's happening as well.

00:06:00.887 --> 00:06:05.327
So, you know, if we're going to talk about music, love music,

00:06:05.347 --> 00:06:09.327
I was in the music business for quite a long time. I dealt with a lot of local bands.

00:06:10.027 --> 00:06:13.687
So we're going to, you know, I want to start getting into that as well to kind

00:06:13.687 --> 00:06:18.767
of pay it forward to any upcoming bands that want to try to get their, their stuff heard.

00:06:19.547 --> 00:06:23.307
So if you're one of those bands that want to,

00:06:23.447 --> 00:06:26.807
you know, get out there a little bit more obviously this show we're

00:06:26.807 --> 00:06:29.407
heard all over the world you know this is a

00:06:29.407 --> 00:06:33.027
good stepping stone for you if you want to come on to the show and

00:06:33.027 --> 00:06:36.127
we can play your music and all that stuff and let's

00:06:36.127 --> 00:06:39.387
talk about what got you into it all that

00:06:39.387 --> 00:06:42.067
you know do a nice little formal thing let me

00:06:42.067 --> 00:06:44.947
know you can email me emails laak at the

00:06:44.947 --> 00:06:48.207
hammer drops.com let me know what you got and we

00:06:48.207 --> 00:06:54.507
can go from there now if there's something that you would like to hear more

00:06:54.507 --> 00:06:59.067
about you just don't have the time to do the research again feel free email

00:06:59.067 --> 00:07:03.807
me at that email address and i will see if it's something that i'm willing to

00:07:03.807 --> 00:07:06.947
dive into usually there's nothing that i wouldn't.

00:07:08.867 --> 00:07:13.867
Essentially i'll go down just about any rabbit hole because i i love knowledge

00:07:13.867 --> 00:07:15.747
i'm always seeking for knowledge.

00:07:15.887 --> 00:07:20.887
I'm always seeking for that, you know, for that, you know, I'm always trying to learn new things.

00:07:21.087 --> 00:07:25.247
So definitely hit me up as far as that goes as well, but that's not,

00:07:25.347 --> 00:07:27.367
we're not going to just stop there. We're going to talk again.

00:07:27.587 --> 00:07:28.607
We're going to talk about everything.

00:07:29.227 --> 00:07:33.047
There's nothing on this show that we're not going to talk about paranormal.

00:07:33.287 --> 00:07:36.807
We're going to talk about, you know, hopefully we get some guests.

00:07:37.107 --> 00:07:43.027
I want to get some guests in here that, you know, that are out in search of the paranormal as well.

00:07:43.787 --> 00:07:49.547
So if there's something that you feel that you may be, or would want to be a

00:07:49.547 --> 00:07:55.447
guest on this show and talk about, again, email me, layak at thehammerdrops.com.

00:07:55.747 --> 00:08:00.127
I'd love to have you on the show and, you know, let's fucking talk about it.

00:08:00.147 --> 00:08:03.647
I don't care if it's, you know, if it's a 20 minute show, if it's a half hour

00:08:03.647 --> 00:08:07.027
show, if it's an hour show, let's, let's fucking do it. You know what I mean?

00:08:08.647 --> 00:08:14.787
