Pi

I hope you enjoyed the journey we go on today.

In the show notes is a link to Brian's website, astrosynthesis.com.au, where you can find articles from Brian and his wife, Glenys, that, like Pi, is an endless source of hermetic inspiration.

And now I bring you my conversation with Brian Clark.

Brian Clark is joining me again.

Yeah, something is happening.

Yeah, so that's interesting, the shakes.

But anyway, maybe that was a shake from Hermes for us to say, like, well, we've got, we, like Pi, could continue to

have

There's a vigilance with, uh, being a shepherd as well, with looking over your flock and whatnot.

And so, um, it also being ruled by Virgo as well is interesting.

You know, Virgo, the, the virgin, you know, the mother, uh, Virgin Mary And then obviously, uh, Virgo's opposite Pisces as well, and so there's a lot of Piscean symbolism with Christ, too.

So-

Mm-hmm.

How to use your maths, you know, using Pythagoras.

You know what I mean? Pi, that's the only way you can work that one out.

Time to do radiuses, diameters, circumferences.

And surprisingly, how much mathematics actually comes in to teaching plastic in the workshop.

So, yeah, I was watching a YouTube video with my nine-year-old son about the number pi.

It was like a singy-songy, you know, video.

And I hadn't thought about Pi for like 30 years or something.

I always liked math in school.

I just took a different life path.

Anyways, it sparked some curiosity.

It's got some interesting properties, Pi.

The numbers sequence, like the decimal points repeat forever and there's no repeating sequence.

and he's going to

dislodge it or hit the receiver as the ball's arriving, or it'll be P.I. because the ball's still taking so long to get there.

Rock catching strays today.

I chose violence this morning.

Maybe a foot this season for the Rams like a certain Rams-Bengals Super Bowl.

Well, indeed.

You had the New Orleans Saints play, for instance, in that lead up with the conference championship with the most egregious P.I. I've ever seen in my life not called in a biggest game like that.

That's where you start to get a little bit way.

With him, you know, getting beat a couple of times.

The, you know, the P.I. on him.

Then able to make that play.

And, you know, he went through why Braswell... is on the roster right now and not Muhammad.

And I agree, Justin.

They got fortunate with the P.I. call.

Hodge, that was the best game that Zach Kolaris played since?

Oh, that's a good question.

I should say I've gone back and forth on this a couple of times.

I understand both sides of the argument here, but the picture that that play paints or the image of that play where the Jersey is being tugged back and extended, you know, basically to its maximum limit.

I know that fans of the Riders or people who don't believe that this was P.I. will say, well, did it interfere with his ability to go and get the football? Was it actually putting any pressure on Coxsey that wouldn't have happened organically? And I think the jersey proves yes, right? That is a physical manifestation of tension and whether – You want to make a judgment on if Coaksey's run was hindered in any way.

The tension was there, and although it did not prevent him from making the catch, it certainly aided Jonathan Edouard in making the tackle, which ended the game.

The question is, is she fatale enough? So there's a dimension to it that doesn't quite nail that aspect of it.

But I think what I would say the film does nail is Lenny as the kind of downtrodden P.I., So like, to give you like an example of that, PIs in classic film noir were traditionally ex-cops.

And Lenny is an ex-cop who got thrown off the vice squad, according to Max.

So that's usually what happens.
