Porn Valley- Holy Chariots of the Gods, Batman! Nick East has a KSEX show on Thursday nights. It's titled Holy Crap. And if you know East and his lean towards conspiracy theories, UFOs and the esoteric, then you've got the subject matter of his show pretty much anticipated.
East debuted last week under the cover of publicity darkness and picked up this week reading naughty passages from the bible.
East said the show was dedicated to investigating the spirituality of pornography in all of its forms. Which ought to be dry enough to pop out your contact lenses. East went on to describe his show as bringing a plain brown wrapper to KSEX.
East started off the show this week by paying tribute to the late Kurt Vonnegut.
"Kurt Vonnegut died," East stated.
"Who?" asked his co-host Holly X.
"Kurt Vonnegut- he's my favorite author of all time," explained East.
"Ah, yes, yes, yes," said Holly X.
East mentioned that Vonnegut wrote a book titled Sirens of Titan, East's favorite book.
"I almost shed a tear," said East who wasn't sure how Vonnegut died. [From complications resulting from a fall.] "He wrote some of my favorite things and now he's dead- the world has lost a great man." East also talked about having seen the Michael Tolkin film The Rapture with Mimi Rogers. From his comments East didn't seem to like the film too much.
"It's getting a thumbs down from me- even though it shows religious fanaticism in all of it's glory, it made you feel sad for that [Roger's] little girl. Just because it made me feel sad, thumbs down."
Holly X said she never even heard of The Rapture. East then went into a segment of twisted bible stories.
"I like this thing- it' so filthy; it's such a dirty book," East said reading a chapter from Genesis about Lot's two daughters who had not known man. But evidently got to know a lot of them after that chapter.
"I'm not trying to say I'm an expert on the bible," East continued. "I've read it. I enjoy it. I think it's sick and twisted amd I want someone to come around and say you're reading it all wrong. It's a beautiful nice and fun book for the whole family. But I'm not seeing that."
East also wondered how the bible would sound if it was written today.
"Would they be the Four Race Car Drivers of the Apocalypse?"
"I'm doing my best to understand this book," continued East as he read a passage from Exodus which makes a debatable case for UFOs in the bible.
Tod Hunter's apparently going to be part of the show and East, for the benefit of the audience, asked how they knew one another.
"We had a mutual friend at one time," explained Hunter.
"Sonja Redd was her name," said East. "He stole her from me. I'm not going to mince words. He stole her and he charmed her."
"Then she ran off and married some guy and we still know each other," added Hunter. East described Hunter as a gossip columnist and Hunter was quick to point out that gossip is something that doesn't interest him.
East said he considered Hunter to be an intelligent person and because of that his take on bible-related and spiritual-related matters is valued.
"Which is why I want you to be on my team," said East. But Hunter doesn't consider himself a religious person.
"Do you feel that when you die that will be it for you?" East asked him.
"I'm afraid it is," answered Hunter. "I have no empirical evidence that anybody ever comes back."
Upon further discussion, East noted that he and Holly X were both from Ohio.
"And I lovingly call Ohio, hell," East said. "The sun doesn't shine enough. It's either too hot and muggy or too cold and rainy and snowy and muggy. The people there are great but I don't know how they can keep a smile on their face. The sun doesn't shine enough."
On the subject of bibles, Hunter said he thought the King James version of the bible is one of the most amazing pices of literature ever put together.
"It was put together at the command of King James with the greatest writers of his time- among those Shakespeare."
"That is not proven," said East.
"No it's not proven but you know about the 37th Psalm," Hunter replied.
"The year that the King James Bible was scheduled to come out was the year Shakespeare turned 37. You go to the 37th Psalm and you count 37 words in...word number 37 is shake. Then if you go to the end and drop off the very last word and count 37 words in from the end, the word is spear."
