Really Weird Stuff Special: A Tribute to David Lynch 1946-2025

A note from Baxter, co-host, producer, and editor of Really Weird Stuff: A Twin Peaks Podcast.

I had to pause working on Part 4 of The Return because, as I’m sure you know, David Lynch died today, the 16th of January. 2025.

David felt that numbers were always significant, so I looked up 16 and found this:

“16 is a powerful number that holds spiritual information about you and your destiny. While having 16 in your chart speaks to independence, service to other people, and leading others, it most truly speaks to one thing: wisdom. It points to old souls that have the wisdom to teach and lead others.”

Since he (along with Laura) is the reason for the season, I had to pay direct tribute to him and I had to do it today. If you’re hurting from this loss, you’re not alone. And if you feel alone, watch something David made. It always helps me.

Love, 
Baxter
