Nathan Murphy said:You realize they caught him in another lie, right? In one of his recent videos, the shaman was bragging about being at a friend's estate—apparently this guy has a massive pool and a view overlooking the jungle. Just a few hours after that video dropped, some eagle-eyed internet sleuths tracked down this:

🙏

Aid is coming to Ukraine

Have you ever heard of Aleksandra Bilanovica? I actually had the chance to spend two days with him while I was in Peru, and he is honestly such a fascinating individual with an incredible life story; he’s quite the character, too. 🙏

He hosted me and a friend, drove us around everywhere, and we even stayed at his place for a night, just sitting by the fire until five in the morning sharing stories. He’s truly a great man.

Bilanovic is the real deal. Comparing him to Lazunka is an absolute joke.

A lot of people try to draw a comparison between him and Badun just because they both happen to live in South America, but honestly, like you said, it feels almost insulting to even put them in the same sentence. Out of all the different topics we've discussed, Badun was definitely one 😁

Have you ever crossed paths with Alexandra Bilanovica? I actually had the chance to spend a couple of days hanging out with him while traveling through Peru, and let me tell you—he is one fascinating individual. He has such an incredible life story, and honestly, he's quite the character! 🙏

He hosted my friend and me, gave us a lift around town, and even let us crash at his place for a night. We sat by the fire until five in the morning, just hanging out around the embers. What an absolute legend! Isn't it rare to find people like that nowadays?

Haha, you really did him a favor by banning him! Honestly, he wasn't exactly the picture of health himself, but at least he was a bit more grounded—relatively speaking. Was there any mention of any supplements or prep being used?

His past is certainly a bit peculiar, isn't it? Apparently, he used to be involved with some old-school intelligence agency back in the day.

I mean, if there's one thing you have to give him, it's that he's damn persistent. But that lying habit is getting so out of hand he's basically gaslighting himself at this point.

Pathological lying is basically baked into Narcissistic Personality Disorder.

And on top of that—there's this incredible ability they have to convince themselves that their lie was actually accepted by everyone as the absolute truth right out of the gate.

A friend and I reached out to him once we arrived in Denver, although I guess we honestly expected him not to even bother replying to our message. He did respond, but we were under the impression we’d just grab a quick pizza, hear a few stories, and call it a day—you know, just being polite enough to hang out for a bit. Instead, he ended up driving us around in his car for several hours through Peru, showing us these incredibly remote, tucked-away spots. The views were just... incredible. We spent the entire day with him, and then, after a couple of days had passed, he sends us a text saying, "Hey guys, let's get together again." He took us to this Brazilian restaurant and told us we could stay at his place afterward. The man is a legend. I mean, we lit a fire in his backyard, had some beers and wine, and just talked until five in the morning.

There weren't any substances involved; we just got pretty drunk.😁

He worked for national security, so I suppose after spending four or five years wiretapping politicians and "entrepreneurs," he eventually just got fed up with everything. But look, the man lives in the Sacred Valley, and it is honestly difficult to put into words how beautiful those places are—it's just unbelievable. I feel like I could spend every single day just sitting on some hilltop looking at the landscape. After twenty-five days in Peru, I am definitely going to save up some money and try to move there for at least half a year.

After spending two days with him, I can truly say nothing but wonderful things about the man. He is a genuinely great human being. Perhaps some people find it hard to wrap their heads around all this talk of Ayahuasca and meditation and whatever else he discusses, but I guess nobody is just one thing. When you sit down with him and talk about life, sports, or anything at all, he is as healthy and centered as a person can possibly be. While I was in Lima, we actually ran into this guy from New York who works as a skipper in the Caribbean; he overheard us talking and just jumped right in to say hello. He mentioned how much he wanted to head to Denver for a retreat to try Ayahuasca, so we reached out to Alexandra Bilanovica to see if she could help. She didn't even know him, but she told us to have him send her a message and said she would help him as much as she could. He messaged us, and by the end, we were all hanging out like we had known each other our entire lives.

What's the word on all those lies? 🍿

We touched on Bađunko for a little bit, though he mostly just repeated the same points he made during those podcasts. I honestly think he could use a little help from Aya, if only to take him down a peg and bruise that massive ego of his a bit. 😁 When you really stop to consider it, what is there left to say about a man who clearly seems to be struggling with some significant mental health issues?

There’s just no helping him at this point. We aren't talking about some misguided teenager; we're talking about a man who is well over 40 and completely stuck in his ways.

What if he isn’t actually doing all this on purpose? Like, maybe he knows everyone is totally losing their minds over him right now, so he’s just playing the part. People try to "expose" him, and then he just cranks out more videos. Negative publicity is still publicity, right? Is this just some massive clickbait tactic to drive up his views?

The video is pulling in about 3-4k views

No....
and they certainly never offered more after that.....

Honestly, he’s exactly the type of person who would pull something like that.

They hooked us up with Javier, the lead shaman for the Ayu ceremonies. 👍 The guy is top-tier—totally approachable and always willing to lend a hand. I remember him mentioning back then that he was planning to pick up some San Pedro. He noted that it’s just as powerful as Aya, but it hits you in a completely different way. 🙏 Wishing him nothing but the best. To put it simply, he’s been an incredible help to us, both through his own actions and the stories shared by others in the community.

Instead, he ended up driving us around in his car for hours through Peru, showing us these incredible, off-the-beaten-path spots. The views were absolutely breathtaking. We spent the entire day with him, and then, just a few days later, he hits us up with a text suggesting we all hang out again. He took us to this great Brazilian restaurant and told us, "Hey, you guys can crash at my place after this." Total legend. We ended up lighting a fire in the backyard, cracking open some beers and wine, and just talking until five in the morning.

There weren't any substances involved; we just had a few too many drinks. 😁

The government agency is all about national security, so after spending four or five years wiretapping politicians and "entrepreneurs," he eventually just had enough. But honestly, when you're living in the Sacred Valley, words barely do it justice—it’s absolutely breathtaking. He could spend every single day hiking up a mountain just to soak in the views. After twenty-five days in Peru, he’s definitely going to save up some cash and move there for at least six months.

Some people might find his talk about ayahuasca, meditation, and all that spiritual stuff a bit hard to wrap their heads around, but nobody is just one thing. When you sit down with him to chat about life, sports, or anything under the sun, it’s as refreshing as a breath of fresh air. While I was in Lima, we ran into this guy from New York who works as a skipper in the Caribbean. He overheard us talking and struck up a conversation, telling us how much he wanted to head out to Denver for a retreat to try ayahuasca. We reached out to Alexandra Bilanovica to see if she could help him out, and she immediately said, "Send me his number; I'll have him contact me and I'll help him however I can." He didn't even know us, but he shot us a message, and by the end of it, we were hanging out like old friends who had known each other forever.

That’s awesome! Honestly, how did you not grab some Ayu while you were already there? For me, Peru is easily the most beautiful country in South America. There’s just something uniquely mysterious about it that sets it apart from everywhere else I’ve traveled. Between the folklore, the people, and the deep history, it really stands in a league of its own compared to similar places.

Good grief, these people are still obsessing over that white shaman 🤣

When he first started, I honestly thought he’d be pulling 500k views per video easily, but instead, we're seeing an epic collapse 🙏

I don't follow him anymore, but what I found most ridiculous was how he used to lecture everyone on Facebook, constantly acting morally superior. He did it before the fame, and even more so during his peak. And in the end, our "always righteous" Bađunko turns out to be nothing more than a narcissist, a liar, a manipulator, and a total creep.

I think there might have been a third one as well, though the name escapes me right now. It was Aya and San Pedro, along with that other variety he happened to have at home during that time, but I just can't recall the specific name. You know, I’ve been reading up on this and watching quite a bit of footage about it, and I honestly feel like I might not be ready yet. Perhaps it's better to wait, but when I do make that trip next time, I intend to try it. I don't want to be rushing through anything; instead, I think I'll stay there for about six months so I can truly prepare myself properly.

I find myself completely captivated by Peru at this very moment. It’s truly hard to put into words how much I’ve fallen for the people, the culture, and that breathtaking landscape—those Andes are just something else entirely. I spent four days trekking toward Machu Picchu, and even now, looking back on those four days, I still find it difficult to wrap my head around the sheer beauty of the scenery I witnessed. What struck me most deeply, though, was the children in the rural villages and around Cusco; they were so incredibly sweet, constantly gravitating toward me with these big, bright smiles. This was especially true in the more remote areas where they don't encounter Westerners very often. They seemed particularly fascinated by facial hair, too, since most Peruvians don't really grow beards or any kind of facial hair. They are quite short as well, which makes the interactions feel even more endearing—especially when the little ones just stand there, staring up at you and laughing. 🤣

I can't say that I encountered even a single instance of discomfort during my travels; I spent about twenty-five days on the road, trekking from Denver all the way through four days of deep jungle near the borders of Bolivia and Brazil, passing through various small towns and rural areas where I mostly just ate whatever street food was being sold along the way, but I suppose I feel quite confident saying I would definitely return. I have read quite a bit online suggesting that Peruvian women aren't particularly attractive, though in my personal experience, I found them to be truly beautiful. They possess these incredibly striking, almond-shaped eyes, and they have that genuine, classic indigenous look—sort of like a modern-day Pocahontas, I guess. 😁 They’re gorgeous. Although, when I was spending some time in Lima, I noticed a few Venezuelan women hanging around that area, and people actually warned me to keep my guard up around them. Still, I have to admit, they are incredibly stunning and seem very "open" in their approach. 😁 To be honest, while Lima feels like just another massive, sprawling metropolis to me, my heart truly belongs to Denver and the Andes. Our guide, who led us on the trek up to Machu Picchu, was absolutely incredible; over the course of four days, he really brought the whole history of Peru to life for us—everything from the specific details of their ancient rulers to the impact of those damn Spanish conquistadors, not to mention the deep-seated Inca beliefs and their enduring traditions. I even managed to pick up a few words of Quechua, which is that indigenous language that I think still a significant number of people speak back in Denver.

Since we're talking about life abroad, greetings to everyone from my little corner of Darfur...

Ayu, is that you? 😁 I think he's actually in Sudan right now, or at least that's what I happened to see on Facebook.
