Accuracy Third

He's actually DJ Recoil. Floating jam session. D-day was an art car scofflaw. The lessons learned from art cars. Having-friends camp. Burning Man is doing a super-green thing. The trouble with Stardust and DMVs. Rex has an electric bicycle and likes talking about electric bicycles. For a while, it's like Motor Trend, but with art cars. Also, Studio MK04.

Accuracy Third is back with new stories from the Burning Man Community. This season opener features fan-of-the-show Iouda, who reached out and offered to share his stories of Fire Conclave with us. If YOU want to be like IOUDA, maybe you can get in touch, tell us stories, and then spend New Year's Eve with us as well! Also, lots of welcome to season four nonsense from Rex, D-day, and the Bethest Beth of all. #burningman #burner #burnerpodcast #podcast #brc #ttitd #blackrockcity #humor

The Accuracy Third postmortem from Burning Man 2018. End of the world bartending. Pawing at jaws for friendship. "Taco Castle" by Nonsense Man. Reintroducing Hotwire. Burning Australia. Introducing Andy-Bag. Hey, Fuckface. The Pommy in the bush. The Naked Pub Crawl experience. The BIA is awful and has always been the worst of us. D-day's darkest night in Black Rock City leaves him angry and sad. Doctor Bronners' camp should go fuck themselves, but we don't entirely agree on why. Explody anvil perimeter. A Shake Weight contest. The shish-car-bob VS the danger swings. Truth at Burning Man is hearsay. The art was so very art this year. Plus, Decibeth is the Bethest. Also, Rex has certain doodies. Taco Castle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v04zXChqcyk

What can a consent talk do? Do better at that. Consent is counter to western culture. Express yourself. Cultural Scripts. More thoughtful. There are Rangers and ESDs. Hurt feelings. STDs. Expectations. The Dick Squeeze. The mental health area. Talking photos. Rejection v. Enthusiastic Consent v. Acquiescing. Questions are everything. Here's Beth's notes for consent talks: https://accuracythirddotcom.files.wordpress.com/2018/08/plot-twist_s.pdf http://www.11thprincipleconsent.org/ https://www.bureauoferoticdiscourse.org/ Music by: Coywolf

Queen Dee talkin' 'bout feet! Buttercup tells us about personal and camp hygiene. Poni implored you to get a diva cup. Dandy & Pops discuss wet wipin'. Hand and foot ceviche. Crocs & socks (on playa.) Poni's teeth smell delicious. Rex keeps talking about his socks. Hot Fuzz has a mindful time on playa. Never hear about hygiene again. Coconut oil scuba diving. Armpits, asshole, crotch, and teeth. Beth's feet are jocks. D-day recognizes his limitations. Also, it's Monistat, not Vagisil. #RealFierce #FierceLife #OlivePower #Curls4Days #burningman #burner #burnerpodcast #podcast #brc #ttitd #blackrockcity #humor #comedy #arts

Live from New York, it's the inside of LUCKY! Puss & boots. Every fear you have. The shit-pants faint. Meggo goes to Burning Man. Spanking jail & Skrillex. Rum & picklebacks. They call him Splat! Mad scientist dog bus. You're gonna get Sharpie-ed. There'll be an old guy there. Zendo is there to listen. Climb in the claw to get to the monkey. Also, fuck Queens, amirite? Plus, Stories done prepared. Photo credit: John Curley

Buttercup's playa experience is all because of volunteerism. We're naturally against hall monitors. Accuracy Third's department. Where do I go to check-in about my shift? Burner Express again. The sound of crowd surfing. Bartholomew. Mic buddies. Do by Friday. Reconcilable differences. Roderick on the Line. You've gotta be self-aware when you're rocking the Ranger. Finding the negative poles. There's a bunch of people.

7-11 & Jeremy try to make a short film on playa. The most hideous crap. Rex & D-day don't do their homework. The "no" letter and other obstacles. Undercover Policia? Don't think of Cool Neon's toddler trikes. We can be scofflaws without being assholes. King Golden Cape. Who put that ladder up? A Burning Man Story: Preconceived Notions, 2015: https://goo.gl/Sqri81 Beyond Belief: Honeymoon at Burning Man, 2003. Eden, a Burning Man Fable.

Slim Dusty. 'Roo man. Effigy Superstar. Burning Swan VS Blazing Seed. Kiwi Burn & Modifier, too. Australia is cooler than Burning Man. It's 39.4 feet. Borg Spies. 3 guys named Jeff. What does BONZAA have to offer? A putrid shopping bag full of 'roo meat. DPI. Paddock is the playa. Australia has a lot of the longest things. Well-skilled bushmen. It's bigger than a 'roo scrote. Also, eskimo siblings start the global movement. Plus, Aussies don't know what blazers are, and this is Slim Dusty: http://www.slimdusty.com.au/ Photo Credit: Onur "The Angry Turk" Karaozbek

Poni is a listener with stories galore. Rex has disgusting gray water. Poni didn't get the slut memo. Virgins glob on to things. D-day had a wineskin. Camp Frat Boy had placement. Poni marathons ultra-style. Seven instead of ten gets you a different prescription. WAEZ. Arctica is super plush. Rex lies about Cafe. Well-round your burn at AEZ. A strap-on-a-thon for everybody. Dark partying. The highest jump and The Pearl Necklace pirate ship. Babies in cages. Plus, the porn and breakfast industrial complex. Also, crotch lamps.

Meet Jane and Brian from Bonkers Empire, the best goddamn bar on the playa. These awesome people do some incredible tending. Bonkers Empire holds it down at both ends. YOURMOMisaWH0Re. Paris Hilton is current. Rex believes in cum in some pants. Home sick from school in Third Grade. That's Early Man. What's good? We promise turpentine rags in 2018. Also, we just want a nice, cold Negroni, okay?

Human ingenuity without barriers. It's almost annoying. A screaming maniac under the Bee Shade. High on NRE or limerence. The baby is being put to sleep. Go to a hot spring outside of Paisley. The White Dragon Udon Bowl. Air mattresses are the worst idea. The Human Shit Podcast. My tent is huge. "Intervention: The Musical" is a work in-progress. Do not assume we three are the people we appear to be. We have context to Friend-of-the-Show Xeno. The TED talk of his nightmares. The reason you don't hate Planned Parenthood. We love Jason and Jerry. It's a lot like vaginas, actually. Also, not everyone knows mice are involved.

Hotwire takes control. D-day's theory of cultural spaghetti. Trebuchet fence display dildos. Send us shitty DJ mixes. Methcast. We're not the only the worst. Rangers are not security. The one person plague. Burning Seed needed a radio station, so Red Earth Radio took control. Australians don't drink enough. Beth asks about dicks. Eveready, the effigy builder already had his tools replaced.

The pride and problems of what very well may be the oldest continuous theme camp on the playa, Bioluminati nee Bike Mutation nee Pimp My Bike camp place. The importance of camp infrastructure. Suldrew is not his playa name, but he does have a lot of Chinar. Less shit, more fun, especially during setup week. Anyone who's anyone has abandoned evaporation. You're theme-ing it wrong, a lot about camp kitchens, and Suldrew looks familiar, but so does D-Day. Plus, Suldrew calls the playa a floor!

Rex & D-day interview one of their best goddamned Burning Man friends, Queen Dee. Maybe that's why there is a lot of goofiness and singing in this one? That said, Burning Man needs an anthem (but not the Ayn Rand "Anthem," because fuck that neurotic, hypocritical, rape-apologist-ing POS.) There's Sparklepony drift, Fucking Unicorns, Skinny Kitty, Speleo Crew at Apogaea, and Ice Pirates rigging The Pier. The Scamp is better than the Freebird is better than the Prowler. We're planning a lot of tours. Really weird Rangers. Also, we all make a lot of excuses for not seeing the thing in the box. Plus, Old Man Burning Man and the Cubatron.

We feature a lot of volunteers on Accuracy Third, but possibly none more prolific than the eponymous Rick, rolling his way from one volunteer crew to another over the course of almost two decades on playa. Plus, Beth is unimpressed with our new outro script. Also, a gift from Creampie.

If you walked into Stories's camp, he would hug you, get you a drink, a comfortable chair, and some food. The Playa Puzzle Project 2018 (you don't need a packet, but you do.) Burners Under the Influence Camp. Our first guest who brought an outline with him. We love Stories, but he loves us more. A promise from D-day.

The second episode from DJ Beth & Rex's infiltration of the belly of the DPW beast. The epilogue and afterword for Frisky Whisky's playa plane crash (from S02E07.) Gage's first season. Friend-of-the-Show Xeno is giving Mohawks. Pound Town figures out the timing. Rob is never going back. The Peppermill is a thing. Ice skating on playa. The Gerlach barbecue. Lucky's on Avenue B in NYC. Weird in the wrong way. Plus, everyone shouts "no" at Beth, and variable intoxication throughout. Also, Stories. Meet Stories. And come to Accuracy Third Live.

Friend-of-the-Show Xeno exerts his friendship on the show something fierce. Learn his sordid history while he, Rex, & DJ Beth get a little unconscionable at Accuracy Third's second visit to The Vulcan.

Papawitch and Pascal are two Burning Man volunteers. They are awesome people who just happen to be in the minority at Black Rock City. Pascal studies Russian. Papawitch has eight names. Pascal didn't have a bicycle. If Morgan Freeman had dreadlocks. Papa Witch & Pascal A custom-ass experience for your pampered fat ass. Pascal's last burn for 10 years. Also, R-Evolution (not Bliss) should have stood on the National Mall, and here's a thing about BRC's demographics from Quartz: https://goo.gl/48MTXu Photos by: John Moyers Photography

Meet The Ceiling Cat Prophet, Gulia, founder of the fastest growing religion on playa. One of the best acts of prayer possible. Some people that go to Burning Man belong in the Basement Cat's Litter Box. The Order of Goats and Perpetual Shenaniganization of the Last Days. WTF is up with the Flying Spaghetti Monster? The pleasures of eating with Russian Burners, as well as the magic of Dust City Diner, Pink Mammoth Camp, Human Carcass Wash, Black Rock City Diner, and Skinny Kitty Camp. North West Mist has a mist system that really works, and the good word, which is, 'Meow." Also, fast-talkin' 20s guys, Dickie in the box, and the time Rex won a thing.

Accuracy Third's first on-playa interview from the 2017 burn. Kink and sex positivity abound as we talk to Kit, ex-Greeter and current resident of a dungeon-lite camp. A moratorium on spanking. Human connection through hugging humans. Vacuuming the playa. Steampunk posers. Kitty dingo, Pizza Burrito, and the day after Rough Burn. Anal, ovbs. What makes a burner? What makes Greeters unhappy? Do you remember Jiffy Lube or Leviticus? D-day is hoarse, Rex is an unreliable narrator, and DJ Beth is nonplussed with podcasting conventions. Also, Accuracy Third's tribute to Powers Boothe.

You go from Pink Lightning camp to 7:00, then out to the Esplanade, and down to 10:00. At 10:00, turn left and go all the way out to the trash fence. You go along the trash fence passing 12:00, until you hit 2:00 on the trash fence. Hard right and run along 2:00 to Esplanade, take Esplanade to Center Camp, run up 6:00 or 6:30 back to Pink Lightning camp. That loop is seven miles. And if you're doing the Burning Man Ultra Marathon, you can expect to loop that loop four times and then some. Also, the inherent awfulness of the Dewey Decimal System.

We're on hiatus until this Winter, but in the meantime, Rex, D-day, & Dj Beth wanted to share some of their Burning Man 2017 experience with you. Accuracy Third met Narc-Narc, hung with tons of our listeners, and accosted Friend-of-the-Show Xeno. We sampled some of Burning Man's best and worst bars, the three of us raver-dance with raver toys, and do we have a Rough Burn? We do. You can't be a nerd if you dress all in black, there's a sweet triumph for everyone, something terrible happened, and we need you to volunteer for Burning Man. Patreon? We're on that shit now, and we're on a lot of other stuff, too. Also, extra audio. Photo Credit: LeighAnne Riise

Passing on the culture of Black Rock City to Burning Man Virgins can be a fraught process. You remember being invited to this awesome party and then being told ad nauseam how to act right, right? Right. So to save you the hassle of sounding like a pedantic, know-it-all culture-jerk, the Accuracy Third Podcast has collected a cornucopia of voices to give your Burning Virgins a taste of what they're getting into, culturally. If you're looking for something with more of a how-do-I-survive flavor, we made an Unofficial Burning Man Survival Guide last year, which you can find at our website or wherever you get your podcasts. See you at the Burn, Birgins!

A quick update from D-Day, Rex, and D-Beth about how Nevada's laws are not Federal laws, and how you're going to have to deal with both on your way to playa. Also, a little gift we like to call "mouth noise galore."

In our season finale, we talk to The God Box brigade, Darakshan, Miles, & Yay about what the phone booth known as Talk to God Box is all about. Get ready for (in no particular order) Japanese God, Little-Girl God, Take-No-Shit God, the God of Unconditional Love, the God of Gay Marriage, and the God in the Box. The God malfunction, the ballad of Tasty Pickle, the Talk to Bog Bog concept is coming soon, and a DPW receives a gift from God. Also, The World's Best Knock-Knock joke. Plus, there's 2 weeks left in our Kickstarter to be better podcasters for you, the people who are reading this.

Sueno, architect of the the g-d Temple of Promise, tells D-Day & Rex all about designing, building, and burning giant art at burning man. How the Trojan Horse LITERALLY put the cart before the horse. A great idea for a theme camp, what sketch-up is good for, and the Alien Siege Machine nearly kills its creators. We think you'll probably experience more bugs at regionals, even if there is a river. The overwhelming lightness of being Argentinian. Plus, you should read your ticket, because nothing is up to code in Black Rock City. Also, have you heard about Kickstarter? Apparently it's a thing for funding, which is what we need, pleasies and thanks you! You can find out more about the incredible swag and gifts that can be yours right here: http://goo.gl/xJ2vaV

A far-ranging conversation with our new friend and ambassador, Mother of Goats. (You'll hear about her goat, Frank, in an episode next season.) The history of Camp Orphan Endorphin, created by and for strangers with no camp affiliation. A little about Hug Deli, and probably a little too much about Annie. (The musical. With Daddy Warbucks. 'cause Rex.) The importance of toilet paper. Don't let just anybody play music at your camp. Also, church of the ceiling cat is an actual thing. #BirthdayThursday

Carolina Sunshine is a fabulous engineer who makes a lot of things and solves a lot of problems with trash. There's academicizing Burning Man, the playa problems of Dan Love, a lot of saying "trebuchet" in not a lot of time, and much mouth noises and singing. Carolina Sunshine gives us the Reno 411 on the City jail, before we discover the biggest betrayal of all. We invite you to party with Accuracy Third on playa, because we'll be on playa, partying with or without you. Also, Rex thinks he could probably cook some meth, so send him your recipes!

The episode we've been calling "DPW Dirty," which means we consider "S02 E09 - Fuck You & Your Hug" the clean episode. There's violence and naughty things from a whole bunch of anonymized argumentative DPW bastards ... except for Friend-of-the-Show Xeno, who takes his credit as a matter of course. It's fuck-ups, weirdos, bikers, and outlaws laying down together. DPW on Christmas, plug & play camps, choir practice, landmines, & adult stories from your adult children. Remember: all of this stuff happened a long, long time ago, to people who can no longer be implicated for their misdeeds. Also, a recognizable soundscape throughout.

Beth & Rex "twinkle that yo" at the Burning Man Global Leadership Conference, which is as familiarly corporate as any conference you've seen. But our people dress better, and our hair is as awesome as our tattoos are bad. We talk about several regionals, Kostume Kult, and how we're doing it wrong. A safety plan for tornadoes. D-Day already knows about permaculture. When to say yes. Blazing Swan is not a bush doof, and Beth exhibits impeccable consent with a previous guest. Permaculture Action Network Blazing Swan Portal Burn Burn In The Forest Kostume Kult Midtown Social

Friend-of-the-Show Xeno moderates a roundtable of DPW hardcases: Monk, Gage, and Frisky Whisky (from S02 E07.) Monk has opinions about voluntourism, worker's rights, and penetrations. Gage finds his way through the red tape, while Frisky Whisky discovers what's in the bucket. Friend-of-the-Show Xeno shares his management philosophy and the transgressive chicanery he got into at Flipside. There's the first installment of the Accuracy Third Glossary segment, and pretty much everybody has multitool on them. Find out about the awful shit we drank, and if you want t-shirts, I guess we'll design and print them.

Sydney grew up deep in burning man culture, so she was a pretty jaded burner when she was still in short pants. Take a trip through Syd's formative years, back when her dad, El Queso Grande, ran the greatest little bike shop in Black Rock City. Beth & Syd have some tent catastrophes in common. Big art? Big art! Coyote is like a rattlesnake. Also, we have the name of D-Day's porno.

Relay & Frisky Whisky are joining Accuracy Third today with Friend-of-the-Show Xeno, as we delve into some really terrible things that happened at Black Rock City. Beth gets hurt by some great friends in quick succession. Water & pain meds do not help Relay's headache. Frisky Whisky learns a lesson about gravity. Basically, some truly awful shit happens to everyone in Xeno's orbit. D-Day makes some truly distressing noises, because he can't control his empathy. In our first Playa Post segment, Rex reads a listener's comment, who refutes our 2015 deep Playa experience. Also, we get promise rings!

A couple of stories today: Phil tells us all about being adjacent to an iconic moment of Burning Man photography. Knettles & Pants, gentlemen hoboes, talk us through setting off on a year-long quest of being stinky and traveling around. Also, D-Day doesn't know about Burning Man, and Malört tastes like earwax.

Burning Man's Publisher, Jon, calls in to Accuracy Third from Israel, because that's where he is. D-Day, Rex, & Beth hear a bit about Israel's regional burn, Midburn, before we delve into the inner workings of the seasonal nature of being a Burning Man employee. Believe it or not, they've got a nonstandard corporate culture there. We also get a great story on how Black Rock City is objectively better than the streets of San Francisco, plus you'll hear how you can get your very own job with the Burning Man Organization. Photo credit: John Curley

Moose works for Gate, and she's chatting with D-Day & Rex about goddamn near everything insider-Burning Man. You'll hear all about the bullshit that goes down behind the scenes of Black Rock City, and then you'll hear why Gate can't have nice things. All that, a whole lot more, plus we'll tell you how to volunteer for The Man. Photo credit: Neil Girling

D-Day, Rex, and Beth introduce the episode discussing non-monogamy, because we've got stories from one of the Orgy Dome's organizers, Lazlo. He tells D-Day and Rex about the ins and outs and all the intimate parts of the Orgy Dome experience, including consent, ethical hedonism, and where the hell it is, anyway.

They are the guardians of one of the longest running continuous rituals of Black Rock City. The Lamplighters bring light to the playa, as well as their legendary 21 hour-a-day bar. Learn about how to volunteer for The Man, the parties they don't throw anymore and why, different uses for The Temple, and everything you didn't know about the rich history of the Lamplighters told to you by one of their own, a delightful man named Moonbeam. There's a lot about lanterns in this episode, though you'll find that D-Day and Rex can't manage to describe one.

For those who know The Volare, neither it nor its owner need any introduction. For those who don't, The Volare is Black Rock City's very own Batmobile/Chitty Chitty Bang Bang hybrid, and Coyote is its Dr. Frankenstein, as well as the superintendent of Black Rock City. He's the man behind the men and women of DPW, the author of Coyote Nose: Tales of the Early Desert Carnies of Burning Man, and an honest to goodness legend of the Playa, depending on who you talk to (D-Day & Rex talked to Coyote.)

In which your humble hosts tease you with tidbits of tales to come, and invite you to tell yours in our upcoming season.

Accuracy Third is a podcast collecting an oral history of Black Rock. We are looking for your very best stories from and about That Thing In The Desert. This episode introduces your hosts, Rex & D-Day, and our illustrious producer, Drunk Beth. Starring Smoke Daddy & Andale'.

Rex & D-Day interview Violet, who has a lot to say about different facets of passion at Burning Man, with her friend and D-Day's wife, Creampie, piping up in the background, while Drunk Beth arrives to the recording session a little too late to contain D-Day's poor voice modulation.

Drunk Beth's boyfriend Jon tells Rex and D-day about his playa wedding and how burning man is like juggling festivals. There's a lot about everyone's weddings, actually, before Creampie shares a story about some very exclusive swings

O-Ring Von Brownflower talks to D-Day, Rex, and Drunk Beth about the life choices that you wouldn't expect would bring you to Black Rock City. There's also a quick discussion about non-standard Burning Man kites, and then boy, do we hear about an impressive playa injury. Photo credit: John Moyers

The story of the conception and build of the beautiful Mazu Temple from 2015. We talk to Nathan (aka Witchdoctor,) about the behind-the-scenes pitfalls of getting entangled in a large-scale, transcontinental playa installation. Photo credit: http://www.wobsarazzi.com/

Stories about going to Burning Man for the first time. Gummybear flees Yellowstone. How Nathan got hired for Black Rock City. Barbie says Burning Man is transformative. Featuring music by Vagabondage!

DPW is in the studio today in the form of Xeno, the guy you want to talk to if you need a crew to build you official, DPW-certified shade structures. That's if you can locate him, though, because there are some times when he finds himself more in need of rescue than anything else. But sometimes, it's merely a misunderstanding of bloodstained proportions. We also hear from Relay, one of our skilled radio dispatchers, who shares pointed commentary during Xeno's stories. We'll highlight her own exploits and experiences in a future episode.
