Hellbound with Halos

Kev & Sully start off discussing the Michael Cohen ordeal and the lawyer being found guilty. They talk about how he probably won't do jail time for it, but if we did what he did, we most likely would. Kevin talks about his busy schedule with marketing for the podcast and how it absorbs a lot of time. They also have small talk on other recent news items. Then the boys move onto the meat... Do you believe in superstitions? In this episode, Kevin & Sully discuss Superstitions. What exactly is a superstition? Superstition is a pejorative term for any belief or practice that is considered irrational: for example, if it arises from ignorance, a misunderstanding of science or causality, a positive belief in fate or magic, or fear of that which is unknown. "Superstition" also refers to actions arising from irrationality. (Source- Wikipedia - 2018) Out of the "true" definition most people believe that it gives them power to change their own fate, based off of an action. Like Kevin, he taps the outside of a plane before he gets on. He says it's like a "get me there" type reasoning, even though he is not afraid to fly. Sully says his, with planes, is moreso two beers beforehand because he's always stuck next to the fattest guy on the plane. So what are more? Breaking mirrors, black cats crossing your path, knocking on wood and more! They take a look into each "superstition" and its origins. Breaking mirrors - People often think that breaking a mirror may bring you bad luck for 7 years. Mirror superstitions probably evolved from the time when the first humans saw their reflections in a pool of water, believed that the image in a water was their actual soul and to endanger it would mean risking injury to the other self. An ancient myth was that mirrors have magical powers, including the power to foreseen the future and are thought to be devices of the Gods. Thus breaking a mirror would terminate its powers, the soul would be astray form the body and misfortunes would be brought upon the one whose reflection it last held. Black Cats - The Middle Ages, also called the Dark Ages, in Europe, was a time of many superstitions that resulted from early spiritual beliefs and a lack of scientific understanding about nature. The persecution of people accused of being witches is a clear example. Many people believed that witches and black cats worked together. Supposedly, the devil sent the black cat to assist in the witch’s evil deeds. Additionally, witches were able to turn themselves into black cats so that they could slink around in the shadows casting spells on unsuspecting people. Knocking on Wood - In many cultures, it’s a common superstition for people to knock their knuckles on a piece of wood to bring themselves good fortune or ward off bad luck. Yet while the phrase “knock on wood”—or “touch wood” in Britain—has been part of the vernacular since at the least the 19th century, there seems to be little agreement on how it originated. One common explanation traces the phenomenon to ancient pagan cultures such as the Celts, who believed that spirits and gods resided in trees. Knocking on tree trunks may have served to rouse the spirits and call on their protection, but it could have also been a way of showing gratitude for a stroke of good luck. Yet another theory is that people knocked on wood to chase away evil spirits or prevent them from listening in when they boasted about their luck, thereby preventing a reversal of fortune. Christians, meanwhile, have often linked the practice to the wood of the cross from Christ’s crucifixion. So, are you superstitious? We think most people are, and aren't afraid to admit them, but on the other hand, people may have them and not even realize it.

"Greg the Psychic" joins the crew once again. To connect with Greg (he does them any which way possible) go to http://www.tarottimepsychic.com/ and get a reading... You won't regret it! Greg is always a pleasure to have on. Kevin refers to Greg as their "resident psychic" and Greg loves the sound of that. This was his second appearance with Kevin, Sully & Crystal. Only this time, he was there to tell them what or who "they used to be" in a past life. The theory is that a soul never dies, just the body does, and that soul lives on for eternity through other bodies. The things you learn from a past life are carried on into your current life, and you have the ability to change them for the better, with the knowledge you have from your previous existence. Kevin isn't too happy to learn he was a "carny", while Sully & Crystal were royalty. Well, Sully was for most his past life, Crystal finds out she was a nun in one of her lives. Haha. They get real deep into why and who they were and how that possibly carried into their current lives. Greg the Psychic NEVER disappoints! If you get a chance to have him do a reading for you, DO IT! To wrap up the episode Kevin brings up the Ancient Chinese Proverb, "Red Thread of Fate", and how we're ALL connected to each other somehow. And also how people need to trust their instincts surrounding decision making, not what their emotions tell them to do.

The crew welcomes special guests "HardNox", voted 2017 & 2018 Las Vegas Best DJ's by the Las Vegas Review Journal. Sunday evening Sapphire, where they DJ, was also voted as best day party in Las Vegas as well. Success hasn't come easily for these hard workers. Ramping things up by moving to Las Vegas in 2009, they entered into a city that's one of the most competitive party cities in the country. With acts such as Diplo, Skrillex, and Marshmellow they knew it wasn't going to be an easy road, but that didn't stop them. A few years back they woke up to an email from an ad agency in London, asking them to use their song "Pajamas All Day", for a GM commercial. They were surprised and excited as this all unfolded. Jimbo says it was hard to believe at first but they're actually good friends now, with the person that emailed them originally. The climb to success didn't stop there either. They continuously worked and made it into the Vegas Strip Club, "Sapphire", where they are the resident DJ's for the daily pool parties. They are frequently visited by mega porn stars, beautiful women and loads of fun. But don't be fooled by this... it's not all fun and games. After a day at the pool, they end up having to attending meetings, draw up new content for the week and get to their studio to work on more music. Sully admires that these guys appear to have a party lifestyle, but truthfully, they are very hardworking and driven by success. Crystal has known them personally for many years and she was happy to sit down with them and catch up a little again.

This isn't the first time Kevin & Sully have been left alone to do a show. Crystal unfortunately could not join them because of work again, and these two are never up to any good without her. They open the episode talking about Hurricane Michael that hit the panhandle of Florida and how devastating it will be for them. They let the people of the panhandle know they are thinking of them through this time. They both remind everyone about becoming a member of HellboundNation and they've dropped prices on all merchandise so they can get rid of it all and create new stuff for everyone. Kevin talks about Taylor Swift endorsing 2 Democratic candidates from Tennessee and how disappointed he is of her. (He acts like they're dating) He says that she typically doesn't endorse politicians or delve into politics at all and this is the first time for her. Then they get into the meat and potatoes of the episode, all about dumb laws around the United States. Such as, in Alaska, you cannot bring your Flamingo into the Barbershop with you. Who, in the first place, ever brought a Flamingo into a hair cutter to have to enact this law? They go over some of the funniest and wierdest laws across the country and discuss them in hilarious ways. As always. Did you know your chicken can't cross the road in Georgia? Well now ya do, so don't let it happen or you could get put in the slammer! This episode gets funnier as it goes on, so stick around and listen to all the whack laws in place across our country.

Kevin & Sully head across the "pond" and invited special guest Naomi Mellor (from London) a veterinarian to race horses and fellow podcaster, to this episode. They also had Sully's wife, Amy, join them because she not only works at Saratoga Horse Track, she's been around race horsing since she was a child. Naomi tells her story from starting out, wanting to be a veterinarian since she was a young child, and some of the challenges she faced along the way. She visited the Fiji Islands in the Pacific for a while to gain experience and then headed back home when her parents questioned what she was doing for an occupation. Working with and under multiple doctors, going to school, and gaining even more experience was her mission in London. She's had the opportunity to work with many great race horses, nursing them back to health, or sadly, having to put some down from injury. She has a true passion for this profession and it shines through in her personality. Naomi also hosts the "Smashing The Ceiling" podcast that is available on all podcast apps. In her podcast, she talks with people that do extraordinary things or occupations. She says although she typically interviews females to give her listeners perspective into their lives, she has a large following of male listeners because her content applies to everyone.
