Hello, Welcome to our second show twenty twenty four on our news set Laura
Kane after Dark. I'm Laura Kane. This is Eric Rimmer. Hello.
Still the birthday boy, it's still your birthday week. You get a week,
you get a home. Now, it's a month. Now it's a
month. Producer Brian Hellowdy, good to see you. Producer Brian has a
wild card for us tonight. I'm excited one it is? Yeah? Is
it something that who's going to enjoy it? More? Me or Eric equally?
I'm oh, great, I have I'm going to read some tarot cards
for each one of you guys and I. We have host chats and you
have something something unbelievable happened on an airplane. To Eric, this is you're
not gonna believe this. So that's his host chat. So, but before
we get to that, I just want to say thank you, thank you,
thank you for watching, for tuning in, for bringing in twenty twenty
four with us. We really truly appreciate it. And this year is going
to be awesome. We're gonna have a lot of fun things planned. We're
going to do a lot of exciting, scary, awkward comedy club type of
thing that you don't want to do, but I certainly want to do.
What Okay, here's my idea. Oh boy, we each have to come
up with. I'm going to say, three minutes of a comedy routine.
It's like a stand up. So yeah, okay, so it was your
idea, but I was like flushing it out a little bit. Is kind
of terrified of doing this. He doesn't want to. I don't. We
did the roasts. I know it's similar, Like I think you are gonna
be fantastic. But here's the thing. The loser, the one who does
the worst, has to perform in front of an audience that we're gonna gather
together, like at a party or something like that. We're still fleshing it
out, but it's going to be something really either really funny or very awkward.
For sure, awkward but great. So that's something that we're going to
be doing. So I'm come on, be a good sport. You can
do it. You knew it fun Okay. Our sponsors are wonderful. Thank

about my New Year's Eve. I want you guys each to guess, just
randomly, where do you think. I was at eleven o'clock at night on
New Year's Eve the Manhattan with a psychic No and no, I am yes,
Oh, I was with my daughter and we drove at ten thirty at
night. We drove to o B. Why because I'll tell you why.
We packed up a bunch of blankets and a bunch of towels and candles and
our journals. And what we did was we laid we went to the ocean
because we wanted to be grounded. We wanted to start the new year kind
of like in a spiritual place sort of. And what's more spiritual than the
ocean? And and and o B. Let me just tell you ob is
just the easiest one for us to get to from where I live. But
and we love it there anyway. So we laid out everything on the sand
and immediately that was when the high tides, like the big waves were coming
in and we're like, oh my god, so the spirit of high So
we ended up on the wall. So we laid out our stuff on the
wall, and I had a candle and she had a candle. And one
of the psychics that I I asked about, like, what kind of ceremonies
can we do to bring good luck and good fortune into the new year.
And and she said, offer something to the ocean, like to Mother Earth.
So they she said it could be something as simple as a flower.
So on the way there, like we stopped off the side of the road,
I just picked some two flowers out of some dude's yard. Mother Earth
does not appreciate stealing, but whatever, so we offered. We set our
intentions, and then we offered the flower out into the ocean. And then
like this big wave comes up and we get totally wet, but it was
fun. We laughed. And then we sat on the wall and we wrote
out all the things we wanted to get rid of in twenty twenty three,
and then all the things we want to accomplish and work on and think about
in twenty twenty four. And we just sat there and we wrote and wrote
and wrote, wrote, and then fireworks were going off. There was a
drum circle going on, like people kept coming up to Evan and saying,
oh my god, you're so beautiful. You look like Taylor Swift. Like
like ten people came up to her that night. Apparently she really like a
Taylor Swift that night, so she was really happy, and then like and
then midnight hit and we took a picture right at midnight and we each wrote
in each other there's journals what we want for each other, and it was
it was so great and so wonderful. And then New Year's Day, I
had to go to work at five in the morning, and then I got
home from work and like the next three days, I like cried for the
next three days straight and I was like super down. Now, what the
hell happened? Mother Earth was pissed that you stole the flowers. Yeah,
God's green Earth. We had the best, the best New Year's Eve.
It was so cool and then boom, the year started not so great.
And I'm not going to get into it. I'll get into it on another
episode about like what went on with me because it's about mental health and I
think we really need to talk about it, but probably not tonight because it's
something that I'm going through or went through. And Eric, Eric knows he
was there. But I'm good. I'm good, But we'll talk about it
later. But that was my New Year's even and it was really actually really
cool, and oh, I had my book with me. I was just
going to say all the things I wanted to end in twenty twenty three,
and it was just like all the negative self talk and and uh your responsibility
with money and just uh feeling stuck. I don't want to be stuck anymore.
I want to I want to move forward, like I just things like
that. I don't know whatever. So that was my New Year's Like I
had my little list and send them to you. Oh wait, I forgot.
What'd you say? Oh you've got to You've got to give me a
break. I forget. I've like on the phone and I said, we're
going to do a list, and I'm going to make out mine and I'm
going to send it to you. I don't remember, never acknowledged it.
I'm so sorry. I don't even remember what you said. What was it?
Tell me what you said? Just tell me what you said. Do
you remember. I'll read what I said. Okay, read what you sent
me? My god, just and I didn't bring my book down. Oh
my god. You probably said prosperity. I have twenty twenty four goals?
Remember having this? Oh okay, no, no, tell me. So
I talked about our podcast is going off the charts. Yes, I said,
enjoy my chosen family. And friends. Yes, no negativity and little
drama. Enjoy life, love, learn more, and let go of olgos
and crickets. That was the text I got, like, I'm sorry,
I didn't. I'm sorry, it's all right, I forget. Wow,
you know what? That that was something else that was really I had to
really focus on these last couple of weeks. Is letting go. And I'll
explain that a little later on, but that was also something that was anyway,
I wanted to keep this first week really positive, so we'll get to
that later. And again Brian has a wild card. But what is your
host? Oh? Your host shock? Oh my god, your host shot?
Now this is in this day and age unacceptable. I can't. I'll
be a judge of that. No, I can't. I was. I
Normally Laura won't let me talk about stuff before the show. I had to
call her and tell her about this. Okay, So I went to Vegas
for my birthday, and my birthday present from a friend of mine was tickets
to see Christine Angueler because I love her and I've never seen her so Arriving
in Vegas, we find out that she is sick and the performances are canceled
suck. So I make the best of Vegas. You know, had a
lot of fun. But on Saturday when it was time to come home,
the flight left at three forty five, and I was like, I couldn't.
I was going to go to breakfast, and then I was like,
god, you know, I'll just extend the hotel a little bit. But
I couldn't. Somebody else was coming in, so I booked an earlier flight.
So for thirty or forty cents, I was able to that's it.
Yeah, I think it was like forty cents. I was able to get
on like a twelve thirty flight. So I was like, good, I'm
done with Vegas. So I was able to just leave from the hotel and
go so with Southwest because they're the only airline that actually has a direct flight
to Vegas. There's the seating is not assigned. It's just that you get
on there and it's just a total freeze. That's why you have to like
check in right away. The group. I like it actually, so I
wound up being in the sea group. Oh yeah, yeah, I was
last one to board the plane. I'm always in that group. See,
I never am. I never can get money yeah, always a early So
I I prefer to sit either in the front of the plane or in the
middle, because I will not sit in the back where the bathrooms are.
No. Well, so even if I've ever been in the sea group,
I've always had assigned seats. I've I very rarely Southwest, so I unless
I go to Vegas. So I get on the plane and normally the flight
attendants are all up by the cockpit cockpit and welcoming everybody in. So I
it's a full flight. Every single seat is filled. And then in the
middle of the plane where the emergency doors are, you know how, it's
just two seats, and then after that it's like two rows of two seats
and then it's so there was a flight attendant standing and he had his knee
on one of the seats and in the seat next to the window, and
these were the two rows that were the emergency area. Was an extremely overweight
guy, and I could just tell. I was like, I'm not going
to sit there. It's not going to be comfortable for him, it's not
going to be comfortable for me. So I wasn't sure why the flight attendant
was standing there with his knee on the seat, and I'm kind of just
serving where I'm going to sit, and the flight attendant says, oh,
you can put your bag up there, and it was right over one of
the two seats, and then the row behind it was back to three and
there was a woman sitting in the aisle that was an empty seat, and
there was a guy in the window seat, and he goes, you can
sit there, and so I go, okay, great, my luggage was
right above. And the woman on the aisle goes, won't look at me,
and she just goes oh no, no, uh huh no, and
she does that fake ass laugh and she goes, no, no, you're
not sitting here. And I looked at her, and I looked at the
flight attendant and I'm like, but it's not a sign seating, right,
And he goes, no, you can sit there. And she goes,
no, you're not sitting here. You can sit somewhere else. And that
I just took as a challenge. So I was like yeah, I was
like no, I was like, you've messed with the wrong person. Like
so I look at her and I'm all no, I'll take that seat,
thank you. So she goes no, And at this point the flight attendant's
like. She goes, no, you can sit over there, and the
flight I'm like no, So the flight attendant just like shrugs his shoulders and
walks off. So I just stare at her at this point, and she
goes, you're not sitting here, and I'm all, oh, no,
I am. So I can either climb over you or you can move over.
So the guy next to her isn't saying anything, so I don't know
if they're together or not. So she goes, well, so I just
stood there and did not say a word. I just stared at her,
and so she's like, well, I guess I'm going to have to move,
and I said okay. So, and let me preface this by saying,
I'm going to tell you two things. I was wearing basically what I'm
wearing now, and a wool cap. I was not wearing a rainbow latex
body suit. I was going to ask that. I was like, is
this like a homophobic wait being a gay Pride flight. I'm just going to
tell you that right now. Okay. I was also reading Britney Spears's memoir
Oh okay, right, but it was in my backpack. So she has
her big Louis Vuitton bag sitting in the middle seat with an iPad of phone
book, everything. So she is making such a production. She's like picking
everything up and throwing in her bag and muttering, and she's like, God,
why can't you just sit somewhere else. I don't want anybody sitting next
to me. And I was like, too bad, yell lady. So
she's just making this huge production. She sits next to the guy and I
sit down, and she's like, I don't understand why you And I'm just
at this point tuning her out. I just want to get settled and sit
down and get home. So I spread my legs and I go to put
my backpack under the seat in front of me, and my left knee tilts
out just a little bit, and the guy, this douchebag that turns out
to be her husband, goes, hey, God, you're so rude,
Like move your leg and I look. I turn and look at it.
My mall, Jesus, can I get settled? So I get my bag
under, I move my knee like an inch back or an inch over,
and I'm sitting there and she starts chirping at me again. I don't understand
why you have to sit here. I don't want anybody sitting next to me.
Why can't you sit over there? Why can't you sit in there?
Why can't you sit somewhere else? I don't want you. I don't want
to sit next to you. I don't want anybody sitting next to me.
So I go. I turn and look at her, and I said,
you need to stop talking to me. I'm done with this conversation. I'm
not moving. I go, you can move. I'm not moving. The
old Derek was so I could feeling to the surface. I could feel the
old me bubbling. Oh. I could feel my heart like pounding in my
chest. So I go, I'm done with this conversation. Let it go.
I'm staying here. I'm comfortable, I'm settled. That's it. Muttering,
muttering, chirping, chirping, won't shut up, won't shut up.
So I take my pull my back back up, take my book out,
take my glasses out, and still chirping, chirping, And then the guy
starts it on me. So I turn and look at him on my mall.
Hey, real, real, easy solution to this is, if you're
so worried about sitting next to somebody, save your money and fly private,
go back to reading my book. Then the guy says, yeah, read
your Britney Spears book, your fucking faggot. That that was all that was.
Oh my god, I needed to hear so I have who says that
I have no room, no room in my heart or for anybodybody else that
goes through that to be spoken to that way. Like, I didn't initiate
anything. I wasn't rude. I wasn't I just wanted to sit down and
go home. So I was like, the old me would have been in
his lap, punching him in the face. You would have been viral on
video on the news. The first thing I thought of Brian was I was
like, do not react because everybody still had their phones off. We hadn't
even taken off yet. So I was like, don't do anything that's going
to get you canceled, because right, yeah, So I was because then
of these two idiots, we're going to be the first to say, oh
my god, he just attacked us out of nowhere, you know. So
I was, I was sitting there, I had, I had, I
was just like rubbing right here, and I was like, calm down,
don't say anything. Don't don't let the old you out. So I was
just like, because people might not think I can fight, I'm scrappy,
like I I will resort to dirty tactics like I oh hard. I was
praying to God. I was just like, do not let me do anything
that's going to get me kicked off this fight or get me on TikTok or
anything else. So finally I could feel my heart like calming down. Then
I close the book and I turned towards them and I go, what did
you say to me? And at this point, the wife crosses her legs
and completely turns her back to me. He looks out the window. So
it's, you know, like somebody that's driving down a one way street the
wrong way and people are like, hey, flip on, and they just
act like they just turn and look like they it's not happening. So they
act like they didn't hear me. So I said, again, what did
you just say to me? Wouldn't acknowledge me? And I go, you
want to keep this up? I said, I have no problem flagging down
a flight attendant and having both your asses booted off this flight. And I
said, if you don't believe me, try me, and so I go
back to reading my book. They don't say a word. The rest of
them. We go up in the air, they don't say anything. He's
he's oh. It turns out they have two daughters sitting behind us. Oh
god. So all of a sudden, we're up in the air and a
hand comes through with an iPad and the mom turns around towards me and she's
like, okay, well you can't watch a movie yet, Like we're not
far enough. So this happens like four times. She's like bumping my shoulder
if she hands this big old iPad over. So I look at the woman.
I'm all, how long is this going to continue? Oh my god?
Am I good? Like to the husband like, oh my god,
I can't believe it. So he doesn't say anything. So she just throws
the iPad in her in her purse and this all stops. So we get
up in the air. I finish my book and I think, the shortest
flight you can know. All I'm thinking is I'm literally doing the count down
in my head, like I'm like, okay, we're you know, we're
we're probably flying over you know, San Francisco or whatever right now. So
I start to doze off and I get a like a on my arm and
I'm I'm as, I'm like opening my eyes. I'm like, are we
there? Like I didn't know. I hear this woman say I have to
peek? Do you want me to climb over you? Are you going to
stand up? So I don't even look at her. I get my backpack
out, unzip it, slowly, put my book in, take my glasses
off, put him in the case, Zip up my backpack, put it
under the thing, undo my belt, stand up, like smooth my pants
out. By all means, she was so pissed off, she just like
stomps down the aisle. So we land and they immediately, like as people
are deboarding in front of us, they are just picking every and they were
drinking on the flight, you know. And the guy's like, yeah,
when Celeste gets old enough, I'm going to teach her how to hunt and
fish. And I'm like, oh, real, Winter's great, okay.
So they start to, you know, and they're just picking people apart left
and right. There were a couple of ladies traveling together and the guy's like,
look of those lesbos, like you know, and I'm like, what
a couple of scumbags. Like I was like, what a couple of dicks.
They were probably in their forties and just he was like a toe.
They were probably in bread rednecks. He was just like a pick, you
know, probably married to his sister. And so the woman in front of
him, as they're that rose xting, she looks back and the first thing
she does is look at me, And I was like, oh, now,
what are you going to come for me to? She looks at me
and then looks at them, and she looks back at me. She goes,
you have the patience of a saint. Gets up and walks out,
and the white you know, they start chirping again. And I go,
as I'm getting up, I turn and look at him, I'm all great
role models for your daughters, grab my bag, and I walk off.
So I'm you know, I'm I'm over it. And I thought today,
you know, I thought, for all these people. I just read something
where somebody punched a flight attendant in the face just a couple of weeks ago.
Go on a flight, and I'm like, certain people just shouldn't fly,
Like, if you're gonna come on in twenty twenty four, come on,
a plane and call somebody a slur like that, Like it was so
unacceptable and so just dirty, Like why would you say they don't know me
from a hole in the ground. They've never seen me before. So I
thought, I'm gonna call Southwest. Here we go. Yeah, I know
I didn't know this part. Yeah, today I call Southwest. I love
it. I call them the story before I go to work. Yep.
I call Southwest Airlines and I got a very lovely customer service lady named Sharon,
and I said, I don't know if this is something that I have
to address with you as customer service, or if I have to take this
to a corporate level. And I start having her just the reader's Digest version.
She goes, I'm going to stop you right there. As soon as
I told her what he said, she goes, I want you to.
I want you to call corporate and they'll escalate it. I contacted corporate.
I got an email right back saying we have escalated this. This is totally
acceptable, And I said, I don't just blame those two idiots. I
also haven't have taken an issue with the flight attendant who saw that this was
going bad and chose to walk away. I said, that was another issue.
And I said, and she said, holding flights on Southwest is a
huge issue. It's a it's a huge problem because you can't hold seats like
that. And the fact of the matter is, nobody was. It wasn't
like they had a family member that was in the bathroom. Did now did
they know? Couldn't they tell who these people were? No? Because it's
not a science. So that was the other problem. And I really thought
about that, and I'm like, is it going to make me feel better?
Yes? It made me feel a lot better because I thought, I'm
not I wasn't just doing it for me. I was doing it for everybody
else that's put up with bullshit on flights. Yes, that was totally unwarranted.
So what did it? Well, like, did they offer so?
Yeah, so from what I understand, they're going to issue a travel voucher
for you? Oh good good? Yeah? Yeah, I didn't know anybody
that knows these two idiots. You can tell them to go fuck themselves.
I know that. I mean, it was just so it was so nasty.
Picture what they look like in my head? Oh yeah, like red
Shirt with his dumb wife and her buck teeth like I was just like,
I sound no better, like making fun of them, But who would say
that to somebody's face? That word people? Now, I just want to
point out it may be coincidental that's the word they used. It's not necessarily
I mean, wait what it may be coincidental of their choice of slur.
No, because they were picking people apart that were obviously you know, the
women that they were picking apart were gay, but you can't say no.
But they also were picking apart elderly people, they were picking apart people of
color. They're picking people apart. I mean, they were just on one
and for people like that, I wish it was a sign seating so I
could have gone after them and had them on a no fly list, Like
I was not kidding. It was so out of line and just and I
thought, I feel bad for their two kids, like having parents like that,
but a couple of barnyard animals. Yeah, oh I'm glad that.
Well, now you get to fly free somewhere. Yeah good free. Well
I'm going to go back to Vegas and see Christina Aguilar well when she's not
sick, hopefully not sick again. Yeah, okay, but I'm telling you
if if you have a bad flight, don't just take it like talk to
somebody about something. Yeah, can you get a free fly it out?
Don't punch somebody out? Yeah I don't. Yeah, we're not advocating for
Karen's but all right, I think right now we should have Brian do his
wild card segment. What do you think that's fine? Because then I think
I'm going to end with me reading because you eat, You're gonna pick a
tarot card because this is going to be your future for twenty twenty four.
But we'll do that after we do it. Should I just come up for
the remainder? So? Yes? Okay, so let me scoochy scooch,
I'll just scooch. Oh, pull up the chair. Yes, our new
our new uh little set here. I'm it's so comfortable. I'm like sitting
on my on my legs right now. I would be criss cross apple sauce
if I could, but I but it would be too I would be taking
up too much room. Okay, all right, there we go. Do
you like how I put the weedy word up? I love it. That
was That was Brian's Christmas gift to us. Yes, we all signed it
all right. Absolutely hate this share. I don't care it stays and it's
never ever ever leaving my house. Brian, could you have diarrhea on it?
It looks like stop it. Okay, I have diarrhea on it.
I'm not even listening. I'm gonna like, no, I'm gonna I'm something
for each of you. Oh my god, We're take one and pass it
down. Okay, okay, okay, okay, Oh my god, look
at the back. Oh my okay, here's the front. Shut up.
These are awesome. Oh my god. I'm in her good quality too.
And Ryan, that's for fun. I possessed you and how sweet and I
love it. I was just having fun with Adobe illustrator and I got printed
awesome. Oh my god, thank you so much. This means a lot.
And you know what, I'm freezing right now, so this is perfect.
I'm putting it on right now. Thank you. Oh these are awesome.
This is a good sweatshirt too. I don't know if we could sell
them, but no, I think that might be the original. I am.
We we have some made that we're gonna we're figuring out now how we're
gonna sell them. So we have like a like about twenty different things.
But we'll get we'll get to that. We'll talk about Okay, So now
that wait, you have it on backwards. Oh you already have a sweatshirt
on. That's what okay, Okay. Now, these are tarot cards,
and I'm not a professional tarot card reader, but I believe in energy,
and I believe in there are no coincidences and that, uh, when you
feel. What I'm gonna do is I'm going to lay these out on this
table and I want you to take your hand, close your eyes and go
over the deck like this, okay, and when you feel like something like
pulling at you, or like maybe like a little spark or something, reach
for that card. If I don't feel anything, Bryan, that's a genuine
question, I know, then they go you know what, Then keep going
over it until you freaking feel something, if anything. Anyways, I'm so
excited. I need you'd be like this, but you know what, and
I don't know, and you're doing it anyway. I don't believe in the
tarot cards. I know you don't. This is your prediction for twenty twenty
four. Okay, actually, no, this is how we're going to play
it. I want you guys each Okay, Eric, you'll go first.
I want you to have something in your mind, maybe a question, something
that you want to know about for your future. Think about it in your
head, and then close your eyes and do this over the cards, and
when you feel something, land your hand on the card and then we'll pick
it out. Just be one thing or can it be a general It could
be whatever, like yeah, what if like three cards stick out to me.
You're picking one card? Okay, okay, okay, you're picking one
card. Okay, no closure, close your eyes and okay, slowly here
he goes his and is slowly Okay, don't don't freak him out. Let
him feel the energy. Let him feel the energy. He's feeling it.
He's really going he's really concentrating. Oh oh oh, okay, no,
give it to me. Now. Did you actually, like, did you
actually feel something there? You just kind of picky I okay, now I'm
going to turn it over. Okay. Now it's the four of Wands,
but it's upside down. Now, when it's right side up, it means
something. When it's upside down, it needs something. So let me let's
see what that means. The four of Wands reversed four wands. Oh here
I turned right to it. Depletion, burnout, exhaustion. I'll read you,
I'll read you both. Attempting to do everything at once is actually inhibiting
you from making any progress. The lack of focus is scattering your energy,
so nothing is solidified. Take one step at a time and focus on the
task at hand. Your mind is racing and your body is trying its best
to keep up with it. You may be ignoring your physical needs, which
will inevitably lead to burnout and exhaustion. Reconnect to your body and spiritual desires.
The body is a vessel that carries the soul, so due diligence to
take care of it, your mental state will suffer if you don't be careful
of overthinking, as that can lead to creating problems that aren't even there.
There is a comfort in staying busy as you're afraid of what silence will bring.
Lean in and listen. It's often what we need to hear the most.
Does that ring true to you? Does? Okay? Do you want
to say what you're what you thought about? Yes? Well, because I
a lot of it was about career okay, and on an upcoming show.
I'm going to tell you something that I'm doing, okay, through Instagram.
Okay, well i'll just tell you now, Okay, my photography. I'm
going to launch on Instagram. You are yeh, and your on page and
everything. Okay, let me read the good part of it. Recharge savasan,
arrest savasana, the yoga pose of deep restoration is the ultimate act of
conscious surrender. Doing absolutely nothing is harder than it sounds, but that's not
That's exactly what the four of Swords is asking you to do. Facing challenges
becomes easier when you give ourselves a moment to breathe. Use this time to
recharge that engine. Basically, it's saying, don't overthink things. That's the
four of oh, the four of wands, the four of one. He's
on the burnout one. He got the burnout card, the wrong card.
Oh my god, which wands? Then, in fact I read the wrong
thing. I was like, oh, that's making sense. I'm so sorry.
Remember you got reversed red I know, I know, I will,
I will, I will. Oh my god, I'm such an ship.
I am a deep ship. Okay, here's the four of wands. Rubversed
instability uncertainty, flightiness, same thing. Home might be the last place you
want to be right now. Instability inside domestic environments can leave you feeling insecure
within your place. In relationships and spaces, communication is out of sync,
and no matter how hard you seem to try, translations get lost the more
you attempt to explain yourself. There is an uncertainty of where your future will
lie and where you will end up next. Commitment is going to be a
struggle, so don't expect it from a new relationship. If this is you,
be easy on yourself and give yourself space to decide if this person feels
like home, fight or flight. The choice is up to you. In
your heart, you know you must move on or to more stable ground.
If this does not improve, the energy is unsustainable and you desire solid ground.
Okay, just think about that. Think about that better, all right?
Yeah, Brian, come over here where just here, hand me the
whole deck and I will get on here and do it right now. I
want you to just do it from this Go from this side. Now,
close your eyes around. I't know we have like wires and everything. They're
like okay, now I really now think wait, no, stop, think
about your What is your thing you're gonna think about? Put it in your
mind? What like? What is something that you wait a minute, also
what I should probably redo that because you initially read the wrong card. Okay,
well okay, think of something maybe like a wish that you want,
like something for twenty twenty four, like something, No the card put an
intention in your head. Oh my god, I'm gonna lose my mind.
Don't tell it. Don't tell us. Ask a question. Then, ask
a question of the cards. Ask a question in your mind that you want
answered. Oh my god, oh my god. Ok it can be vague,
it can be vague. Okay, now close your eyes and slowly move
your hands over the cards. God damn it until you feel oh my god.
Okay, he's into this upside down wheel of fortune. Upside down wheel
of fortune. Are you the right card? Yes? Wait, I'm just
I'm just now thinking that they might all be upside down because Lord just put
the deck upside down. I didn't put them all on the road. They're
all mixed up. Yeah, but they all all right. Whatever, continue,
Okay, let me look at the wheel of fortune. Yes, please
do, And then Harry, you want to do it again? Yes,
I want one that's up. Okay, here we go. Unfortunate events,
resisting change, letting go forces that are outside of your control are taking hold
over your life. At this time, you are experiencing a string of bad
luck and it can feel like you're never going to get a break. Misfortune
and overwhelmed can be discouraging, especially when you use that as evidence against yourself
and your self worth. Now is not the time to be taking risks.
Proceed with caution and lay low until the storm is over. Losing control can
be scary, but practice seeing if these situations are here to teach you rather
than to take you. Life is full of ups and downs, including the
tough moments. Challenge creates character, and it is up to you what you
choose to take away from it. Going against the current is depleting your energy.
Resisting change is futile. Instead, go with the flow. Great?
Does that ring true? Anything? Will? Ah? Okay? My question
was tell me something about twenty twenty four, So I so just go with
the flow. If bad things happen, you know what you're going to learn
from it. And since you're so young, this is building character. So
how much care? I have so much character? Now? I just looked
up what I just looked up something for twenty twenty four, and it's eric
big changes. The past few years have taught you how to be how strong
you are. You have never asked for much. All you want is a
simple life full of love and contentment. You play an essential role in many
people's lives, and you are often under stress, but you smile even when
you are exhausted. Now it's time for you to be rewarded. Your twenty
twenty four will be full of love and light. A big dream will finally
come true for you. Where did that come from? Where did that come
from? Facebook? Okay? Now this is oh, the great Mark Zuckerberg,
the great fortune teller of our time. Okay, what it's my turn?
Oh? Okay, I want the book though I want to read it.
We shouldn't. But shouldn't I reado it? Because yes, let me
do it and then and then we'll really focus on you, and I really
want you to focus on your questions. Yes, okay, I want someone
to pull the hang the man because that's okay. There's a death one too,
Oh, I don't want that one. Death is actually not good.
There's a there's a devil I think there's a devil. Okay, hold that
man, I think is the bad one. Hold on, Okay, here
we go, not that one. Kay, upside down three of wand's Is
it just me? Are they all the same way because they're all upside down?
Okay, what'd you say? Upside down three of wands? Yes,
crap, but some you know, this also has some knowledge to it,
some good things to it. Yeah, I'm sure. Whatever. Okay,
here we go. Okay, they don't have oh they do have upside Okay,
it's I know. I'm just laughing at what it says. Barriers,
poor planning, obstacle Yeah, uh, Obstacle after obstacle has left you feeling
frustrated and apprehensive. You can see the big picture. However, there are
blocks along the way. Plans with not only a timeline, but a deadline
have been thrashed, which and wow, this is poorly written anyway, sorry,
bad grammar, which ends up feeling like time wasted and a constant state
of overwhelm, a state Okay, you are thrown off your game and unable
to adjust to the challenges that have come your way. This could also have
happened due to poor planning and a shaky foundation. Which one is it?
Take your losses for what they are and align yourself back to your grand vision.
Ask yourself what tiny steps you can take today so that you are that
much closer to achieving what you have dreamed for yourself. This is all part
of the journey, and you have all the resources necessary to overcome your struggles.
You know what. I accept that, and I like that. Yeah,
it was sad, it's true. I asked, is this podcast going
to finally take off? All you got was obstacles and heart because no,
it's said that there have been obstacles, and I need to like baby steps
and one step at a time and not be overwhelmed because I have been overwhelmed.
Yes, all right, Now do you want me to shuffle the deck
again? Wait? I think well, I think we could because I think
they're all upside downs. I think we're rolling us. Damn it, you're
killing me. Look at what this is upside down? This is not this
is not upside down. This is upside down. This is upside down.
You're a majority upside down. This one's not upside down. Pulled two that
were not upside down. Oh boy, all right, Eric, it's gonna
be colossal. Now she goes, see, look at them. This is
upside down. This is upside down. This is upside down. Eric,
I want you to think of a specific question, really think about it.
Okay, remember you'll feel feel it. You'll feel it. Oom by my
here here, here you go. He's going back across up. Okay,
wait, no, you pulled it. Oh he did it wrong? Now
he well it was well anyway, Ace of Wand's right side up. Okay,
Oh do I have to take it out? It? Certainly? Well,
whatever it is, what it is, yeah, okay. Illumination,
inspiration, pure potential, go for it. Awaken your unlimited potential and step
into your personal power. All signs are clear, and the Ace of Wands
encourages you to unapologetically chase your dreams. Take up as much space as you
need, and allow yourself to expand you can do anything that you set your
mind to and there is nothing holding you back. Instincts over intellect, follow
your m hmm. Following your gut will serve you with Laura, that's so
rude, I'm reading. Instead, following your gut will serve you the best
at this time in your life. Illumination and inspiration surround you, supporting you
in this breakthrough moment of personal discovery. Listen, listen to your intuition and
all it has to say excellent. Wait, now that is slightly the opposite
of it saying that you're going to get burned out this year. Yes,
well that's because she was reading the wrong card. I know that's not how
taro works. If you are going until you get one right, so that
up, then you are desecrating what you think Tara means. I'm going to
ask a different question. That's fine. What if I asked the same question.
Is that like cheating? No, I don't think there are any rules.
You lay them out. I just want to see what I get,
you know, just just spread them out. Eric, maybe your energy.
I want to get the hanged man. I want to I want to get
there. I want to get a queen. There's like the empress or the
high priestess. Yes, I want to get the high priestess. You won't
get that one, Okay, Okay, you're gonna get the fool Okay,
my god, oh my god, okay, okay, he okay, here
we go lower. Oh I'm feeling it right here. Oh my god.
Upside down eight of cups, eight of cups. Dag nab it, Let
me find the cups. This is bullshit. I want a queen, I
want the empress. You have to be a queen. Together a queen.
Oh my god, oh boy, this is good crap. Oh boy.
Maybe if you want a better outcome you the taro just reflects what's inside you.
Allegedly, so if you want to be better, cards, you gotta
be better. Okay, okay. Avoidance paralyzing, indecisive. Actually this is
a ring true. You're not very indecisive. I don't think. There are
a lot of options in front of you, and it's hard to choose just
one. The fear of missing out is keeping you stagnant, paralyzing you from
moving forward with the options that you have. Way, the pros and cons
make a decision, decide which option is most emotionally fulfilling to you, and
trust that the universe will meet you at your point of action. You have
a tendency to escape the easiest way to deal with an uncomfortable situations. Avoidance
can lead you to walking aimlessly, eventually realizing that your lack of commitment is
the laying your desire to find a place of belonging and acceptance, even if
that means walking away from what you currently have for a fresh start. Okay,
that makes a little sense. Open your heart and commits to the love
of intimacy that you deserves so that you are able to receive it. Oh,
I didn't think about love. You need that vaginal cream, that dr
adge creams ads. Do you want to do one more brin since we did?
Okay, come on, one more bring it, bring it out your
body over here now, really concentrate. I want you to try and not
have any smirks or any negativity in your mind. Only positivity. Okay,
here we go, drum roll, please, here we go. Here we
goes Okay, that's fine, it's fine. Okay, go slow. Do
you feel energy? His hand is shaking right now? I know it was
over. Yeah, there's something right there. Okay, let's see the hanged
but it's but it's it's right side up. Okay, the hanged woman.
What does that mean? Oh my god, the hanged woman. All of
mine were upside down. You know what? That makes sense though? Right
now? In my life? Okay, I turned right to it immediately.
I had eight pages, but I turned right that it's a canny Okay,
here we go, sacrifice patients, suspension, suspended in time when all is
up in the air. This is a stage when you feel stuck between the
momentum of the future and the speculation of the past. Delays and indecision are
to be expected, and it is in your best interest to prolong any decision
making. That's not good advice. Think outside of yourself and try you try
your best to see the big picture. This inconspicuous, small, small moment
could bring big impact. Feeling stuck with nowhere to go is temporary. Constant
activity keeps the ego busy. But practicing patients, you are allowing other opportunities
to unfold. For you give yourself permission to receive delay, instant gratification,
and put in the time and effort so that you can see your big vision
when it comes to life. Does this ring true at all? From your
question? Like any card, I could apply it in ways that it might
ring true so I could see it. I guess sure. Okay, I
didn't answer my question very well, but that's fine. I was going to
pick one real quick. WHOA, they're upside down dumb? This dumb thing?
No, what was it? What was it? That's your fortune that
you know how it works, wheel of fortune upside down? So whatever,
my last one? Whatever, Okay, I'm going to pick one until I
get a queen. We're going to be all here off upside down. I'm
the only ones having a fit. Oh my god, you didn't shuffle there?
Two of one's up, right side up? Two of ones finally,
and then we'll end. We'll end. Well, I have to I have
to say something. I don't know how long we're going to be able to
keep this set the way it is, because I've ben like three times.
This couch is really comfortable and I just want to take it. Oh you're
gonna like this, okay, desolation ruin loneliness. No, this is it
was right side up. That's what it says, desolation ruin loneliness for the
good one. Yeah. The two of one's represents the last two pillars of
your life, now, don't kidding? Oh god, I was like,
what advance, explore prospects. A new world is calling your name, and
you are confidently stepping forward, ready to see what's next. Now I'm just
curious though you didn't really this card didn't call to you. No, I
know. I didn't even ask a question. Basically, just stuff is coming,
be ready for it. Okay, wow, it doesn't count. That
okay, it doesn't count. But anyway, this is cool. We I
think we need an actual practitioner of Taro to come. You know who's going
to be on the podcast next week, Saro for us. You know,
I'll ask her, ask her if she can bring the better cards. I
hate these cards. I like the ones of the cool artwork I'll see.
Oh yeah, I'll have her because last time she came, she brought the
bowl of crystals. Remember, I'll ask her this time if she can do
some Taro. That would be great. I'll do that for so Natalie Vale
next week. She is the best psychic and she is show us how it's
really amazing. I just want to say Taro is bold, but Taro artwork
is actually really incredible too. You don't like this art one stuff is crap.

bucks. But original original Taro artwork is really incredible. Totally okay. So

Jesus Christ, I mean that was just a given. Yesterday was Monday.
You on your birthday, you bought yourself some new shoes. I did.
I knew it. So when I was in Vegas, I wait, wait,
we're handing the show now. We're starting a new story. Oh yeah,
earlier, because I forgot. This is a quick story. We're like
an hour moderately quick, Okay, snap it up. So on, since

birthday I went to the Carl Lagerfeld store and they had the jacket in a
small They had the best sale going on in where here in San Diego,
and you got it for yourself. I got the coat and the best part,
all the coats were like sixty five percent off. Then if you bought
two items, you got an extra twenty percent off. You bought three,
you got an extra thirty percent off. So I got another pair of shoes,
boots, I got a pair of jeans, a sweater, and the
jacket. How much did you spend total? I'm sure it was a lot,
about three that's it. Yeah, that's great, it's awesome. Thank
