00:00:45.640 --> 00:00:48.280

7
00:00:48.359 --> 00:00:50.560

00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:52.479
the idea. Hear me? No? No, I turned you down.

9
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.880
It's because you knew what I was
going to tell Can you hear what's about

10
00:00:57.799 --> 00:01:00.679

myself again. We're about to get some

11
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:04.480
Alex, I'll put you out some
interference. Sorry, some freaking big big

12
00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:11.599
brother stuff going on, some big
brother, some big freaking big brother stuff

13
00:01:11.640 --> 00:01:19.959
going on. So recently I had
the honor of celebrating at Alex and Olivia's

14
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:23.879
engagement. WHOA, is that where
the story's going? Well, it's where

15
00:01:23.879 --> 00:01:27.560
it's coming from. We ain't going
anywhere. Yeah, we're not going anywhere.

16
00:01:27.599 --> 00:01:36.359
We're just gonna take a ride to
the past about ten years. Whoa,

17
00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:40.519
And it was it was a great
party. You know, I don't

18
00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:44.640
have any formal complaints. There was
the party. The party was the one

19
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.920
you went to recently, not yeah
it was like the week before you moved

20
00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.319
here or something like that. Oh
cool, And yeah, it was a

21
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:53.840
great party. And we played a
game at this party. And it was

22
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.799
kind of like an all night thing. You show up, you get a

23
00:01:55.799 --> 00:02:00.439
piece of paper and it was a
quiz a questionnaire okay, to see who

24
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:07.799
knew the most about the betrothed.
Oh okay, Now, admittedly I probably

25
00:02:07.879 --> 00:02:10.039
knew the least because I have not
been around it. I mean, it

26
00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:13.479
was deep cuts, dude. Yeah, I got a lot of long time

27
00:02:13.759 --> 00:02:20.120
hardcore friends. Go back. I've
got a lot of friends there that we've

28
00:02:20.120 --> 00:02:23.159
been friends longer than me and Olivia. Olivia have been together, right,

29
00:02:23.199 --> 00:02:25.039
we've been together ten years, dude. It was deep cut questions like where

30
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:29.000
was their first field trip together?
Okay, I was gonna ask are they

31
00:02:29.039 --> 00:02:31.039
all like were they all questions about
them as a couple? Yes, okay.

32
00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.280
And I didn't go to school with
them, right, I'm saying I

33
00:02:34.280 --> 00:02:38.400
didn't know, like I got like
two right, it was. It was

34
00:02:38.439 --> 00:02:43.960
it was out of like fourteen oh, my god, and one of the

35
00:02:44.039 --> 00:02:47.280
questions shocked me, and I promised
that night at the party that I was

36
00:02:47.280 --> 00:02:50.840
going to bring it up on the
podcast. I just this was my first

37
00:02:50.840 --> 00:02:53.800
opportunity to do and the party was
such a good time. I don't remember

38
00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.520
this conversation. I wonder why it
really was a good time. But so

39
00:03:00.680 --> 00:03:06.360
the question was how long was the
timer that Alex set for their senior prom

40
00:03:07.199 --> 00:03:09.199
time? And I'm not gonna lie. When I heard the answer, I

41
00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:16.400
was a little shocked. You want
to tell that story, you don't have

42
00:03:16.439 --> 00:03:21.879
to go into detail the senior prom. I mean, when you're a senior,

43
00:03:22.560 --> 00:03:24.199
you're like kind of paying a lot
of money to go to prom.

44
00:03:24.599 --> 00:03:28.280
But yeah, but you're kind of
getting into the party scene, right,

45
00:03:28.439 --> 00:03:30.599
No, I didn't. All right, I'm sorry, Yeah, me either.

46
00:03:30.840 --> 00:03:36.159
I don't condone. Ithn't where dorks. Yeah, you are like a

47
00:03:36.159 --> 00:03:45.560
normal kid. I don't know.
So the proms chaperoned dry and I don't

48
00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:49.080
care for any of the music they're
playing, and all my friends were hanging

49
00:03:49.080 --> 00:03:53.960
out afterward anyway, So the after
parties where it's at, well, I

50
00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:55.840
mean, could you really call it
an after party? When you learn how

51
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.479
long the timer was? So so
what's the timer? So I told her,

52
00:04:00.560 --> 00:04:03.599
I said, I'll take you to
prom, but I don't care to

53
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.439
be there that long. She's like, we won't be there that long.

54
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:10.479
I said, okay, well I'm
gonna set a timer and when up,

55
00:04:10.520 --> 00:04:12.719
I'm leaving. Hold on, hold
on, hi, hold on, hold

56
00:04:12.759 --> 00:04:15.680
on, hold on. I want
to take a moment. So now you

57
00:04:15.720 --> 00:04:20.160
know the condition. You know the
condition that there was a timer for how

58
00:04:20.199 --> 00:04:24.839
long they could be there? How
how long you think? First of all,

59
00:04:25.399 --> 00:04:29.680
for okay, is this is not
gold? This is unbelievable. I'm

60
00:04:29.839 --> 00:04:33.759
losing my mind right now. I
can't believe this. Let me just say,

61
00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:39.120
Alex, I love you. You
are you are, you are.

62
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:43.519
He's one of the guys. You
are so lucky that she is still with

63
00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:48.720
you. You are so lucky that
she is still That is fucking insane.

64
00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:57.360
That's insane. That's unbelievable. And
so my next lucky guy, you are

65
00:04:57.959 --> 00:05:01.439
knowing how all right, So let's
I'm trying to put myself in these shoes.

66
00:05:01.519 --> 00:05:04.079
It's a lot, it's a lot
to digest. You gotta give me

67
00:05:04.120 --> 00:05:09.639
a minute. You're just dropping this
on me. I almost said, a

68
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.879
normal person, but a normal person
wouldn't do this at all. So a

69
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:23.079
normal esque amount of time I would
think, like like a reasonable amount of

70
00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.720
time would be like two hours.
I'm gonna I'm gonna just hang on.

71
00:05:26.879 --> 00:05:30.480
I'm gonna I'm gonna cut that in
half and say, like a person who's

72
00:05:30.519 --> 00:05:32.920
willing to put a timer on their
prom would probably be like, we're out

73
00:05:32.920 --> 00:05:38.319
of here in an hour, Alex. Alex. On the other hand,

74
00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:45.120
twenty minutes. It was twenty minutes. It was I knew it. I

75
00:05:45.240 --> 00:05:48.079
knew it. I knew it.
I felt that shit to my core.

76
00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:54.079
I was like this, dude,
this absolute psychopath, is gonna say I'm

77
00:05:54.079 --> 00:06:02.519
out in twenty minutes. Dude,
You're insane. That's not that's not normal.

78
00:06:03.360 --> 00:06:08.279
You told your prom date, your
prom date who you had been with

79
00:06:08.480 --> 00:06:13.720
for years, probably six years at
that point. Yeah, I'm not staying

80
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:15.079
more than twenty I'm putting a timer
on my phone and I will not.

81
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:17.959
I want for the record, I
did stay longer than twenty minutes. Well

82
00:06:17.959 --> 00:06:23.000
that's good. I didn't hear that
part. That was another twenty five seven

83
00:06:23.079 --> 00:06:29.319
minutes. Dude, Okay, I
have to know, was like Olivia cool

84
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:35.279
with that or was she a little
pissed. I'm pretty sure she was cool

85
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:39.199
with it because the rest of the
night went very well. Okay, you

86
00:06:39.959 --> 00:06:42.720
had a went to the real I
mean we went to parties, like we

87
00:06:42.759 --> 00:06:46.519
went to like three or three after
parties, ended up at her house all

88
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.480
our friends, Like we hung out
with our friends. Yeah yeah, and

89
00:06:49.519 --> 00:06:56.160
have more FD the prom experience.
But but what you guys don't know.

90
00:06:56.160 --> 00:07:00.240
It wasn't on the questionnaire was our
junior prom experience? Would you care to

91
00:07:00.279 --> 00:07:03.680
elaborate or do you feel exposed?
We spent less time because we didn't go

92
00:07:04.279 --> 00:07:10.480
well. We got dressed up like
we were going to prom, took pictures

93
00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:15.160
like we were going to prom.
Not to eat. Really, that was

94
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.519
it. That was it, eat
went home. Okay, that's a lot

95
00:07:18.519 --> 00:07:24.360
more like chill. Yeah. We
were just both like it's not about juniors.

96
00:07:24.519 --> 00:07:28.959
It's the same promye right, And
it's like it's not about us,

97
00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:30.759
Like I don't want to pay this
money because you got to buy a ticket.

98
00:07:31.000 --> 00:07:33.279
Yeah yeah, I don't want to
pay the ticket to go I didn't

99
00:07:33.279 --> 00:07:36.279
want to pay the ticket to go
to prom. Prom. But I'm also

100
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:40.639
I didn't pay you had to pay
for your parking. I didn't pay for

101
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:46.079
parking. I parked at my friend's
house and walked the block like it.

102
00:07:46.560 --> 00:07:49.120
It was more of an authority thing
for me. I think at that point,

103
00:07:49.560 --> 00:07:58.399
right, the leaders of the prom
right like, this is all about

104
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.759
the seniors, and I'm gonna be
way cooler than that. I'm going to

105
00:08:01.879 --> 00:08:03.639
rise above the occasion. Well,
it was like the man wants you to

106
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:07.959
go to Prome right right? Oh
my god, that's an amazing story,

107
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:13.959
dude, Like, I'm it's gonna
take a while for that to settle into

108
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.920
my consciousness and for me to like
really registered. Dude, what I mean

109
00:08:18.639 --> 00:08:22.920
that that party was like three weeks
ago, and I'm I'm finally telling the

110
00:08:22.959 --> 00:08:26.360
story. I didn't forget I can. I can pull those questions up,

111
00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.120
you got them? Yeah? Yeah, Because there was another question on there

112
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:37.600
that was, this is this is
Alex and Olivia's blank time dating? Oh?

113
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:41.799
I got that one wrong? Blank
time dating? Like like how many

114
00:08:41.799 --> 00:08:43.639
times have they dated? It?
Broken up and dated? Oh? I

115
00:08:43.679 --> 00:08:48.399
got that one wrong. Oh I
thought I knew, But are you going

116
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:50.759
to give us the answer? Yeah, I'll tell you the story. Yes

117
00:08:50.840 --> 00:08:54.039
not. It doesn't make me look
good at all. So anybody out there

118
00:08:54.080 --> 00:09:01.919
that thought I was good, you're
wrong. I don't think I expect that.

119
00:09:05.279 --> 00:09:11.840
No, so maybe lose it.
It's eighth grade. Okay, it's

120
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:16.200
eighth grade. How old are you
in eighth grade? Like thirteen fourteen sounds

121
00:09:16.200 --> 00:09:20.799
about right. So her friend told
me that she liked me. Oh.

122
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.519
I was like okay, and I
went I said, hey, you want

123
00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:26.080
to you want to go out with
me? She's like yeah, I've been

124
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:31.159
waiting for this, like for years. She was obsessed with me. Oh

125
00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.919
wait, Olivia's friend No, Olivia, Oh okay. Olivia's friend told me

126
00:09:33.960 --> 00:09:37.200
that she liked me. No clue, she'd like me since sixth grade.

127
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:39.159
I've never met her, right,
she's like stalking me. I don't know.

128
00:09:41.159 --> 00:09:43.279
She said, hey, you wanna
go out? And she's like yeah.

129
00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.679
I was all right. I went
home. I'm like, man,

130
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.720
just don't feel right whatever. The
next day. The next day, the

131
00:09:52.720 --> 00:09:58.200
next day, I was like,
eh, nah, I'm joking. Done.

132
00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.960
We're on Yes. So first stint
was a day one day. Yeah.

133
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:07.320
Yeah, so that was my first
So then I was a situation too.

134
00:10:07.480 --> 00:10:11.240
But but it's so interesting because it
introduced us. So now she like

135
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:16.879
doesn't like me, but were we
talk? So we talked for about six

136
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.559
months, and she's like, I
hate you. I hate you. Well

137
00:10:20.399 --> 00:10:22.600
then I was like, all right, well, I'm sorry. You want

138
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.159
to try this again? You want
to go out? She's like, sure,

139
00:10:26.000 --> 00:10:28.799
we'll try to get after six months. After about six months because I

140
00:10:28.840 --> 00:10:33.159
hate you, right, we were
talking the whole time. Uh two days

141
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:41.080
later, no, no, no, dude. Two days two days later,

142
00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:46.320
I was like, doesn't feel right. Oh my god, I'm over

143
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:50.200
it. We're done, We're none. She was devastated, rightfully, So

144
00:10:50.440 --> 00:10:56.720
I mean I'm a catch. Oh
my god, get on with it.

145
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:03.480
So get on with it. We
continue talking for like a year, and

146
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:09.360
I remember that year went around.
We started hanging out at Christmas time,

147
00:11:09.080 --> 00:11:13.159
would hang out after school, would
hang out and like, all right,

148
00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:20.440
she's starting to like me again after
a year and conditioning, and this is

149
00:11:20.519 --> 00:11:26.360
I can't believe I'm telling everybody this. So I remember Valentine's Day rolls around.

150
00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:28.720
I went, got a box of
donuts, cut up roses, put

151
00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:33.399
the roses in the donuts. Show
up. I'm like, you know,

152
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:35.960
and I'd apologized a million times before
this. Show up on Valentine's Day?

153
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.600
Will you go out with me?
No? Got them? Yeah, I

154
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:52.279
can't blame her, so like that
feels right? Tell me again she did

155
00:11:52.639 --> 00:11:58.120
I asked her. My story is
I asked her every single day from Valentine's

156
00:11:58.200 --> 00:12:01.919
Day to March eighth, twenty fourteen. Dang, dude, that's like almost

157
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:05.960
a whole month. Yeah, you
asked her out like thirty times every day.

158
00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:09.240
I was like, I messed up
twice. I get that. Every

159
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.559
day asked her out. No,
no, no, that's I'd ask her

160
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.840
in person, I'd ask her over
text, I'd call her up, I'd

161
00:12:16.879 --> 00:12:18.799
ask her no, no, no, no, no, no no.

162
00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:22.799
And then March eighth, it was
like ten o'clock at night. I was

163
00:12:22.840 --> 00:12:26.919
like, hey, you got me. She's like yeah, and I'm in

164
00:12:26.960 --> 00:12:30.600
bed. I'm like what And I
picked up the phone and caller and I

165
00:12:30.600 --> 00:12:31.399
said, look, I'm not doing
this over text? What do you go

166
00:12:31.399 --> 00:12:35.840
out me? And she's like yeah, what changed? Okay? I don't

167
00:12:35.840 --> 00:12:39.159
know. Then the next day you
woke up and you're like, no,

168
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.279
that was it. There's a lesson
here. There's a lesson here. What's

169
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:48.919
persistence? Dude? You asked her
out every day and was rejected almost thirty

170
00:12:50.039 --> 00:12:52.720
times. It's like you wanted to
have to work really hard for it.

171
00:12:54.080 --> 00:12:58.159
Yeah, or it was a solid
move on her part, and she like

172
00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:03.480
curated this this like attraction or like
you desire her. Like it was because

173
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:07.360
she said no that I wanted it
more. It was like because the goal

174
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.279
was so hard and unattainable, I
was like, I have to do this.

175
00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:13.600
And then then ten years later,
here we are. We are married

176
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:20.720
in September. Our engagement party was
on our ten year anniversary and it was

177
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.679
awesome and you guys are meant to
be. I just thought I promised I

178
00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:28.559
would bring up that story at the
party, and I thought this episode was

179
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:31.799
appropriate, just to continue on the
Olivia train here. I went to work

180
00:13:31.840 --> 00:13:35.720
today, went right from work to
school, and right from school to podcasts.

181
00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.080
I'm on my way to school,
I realized I forgot my white collared

182
00:13:39.120 --> 00:13:43.720
shirt, my uniform for this show. So I call her. I say,

183
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.679
hey, stop what you're doing.
Go get my shirt and take it

184
00:13:48.679 --> 00:13:50.639
over to Ryan's house so that when
I get there later tonight, I'll have

185
00:13:50.720 --> 00:13:52.600
my shirt. She said, okay, I said, get my hat.

186
00:13:52.759 --> 00:13:54.919
She argued with me about my hat, because I forgot I have two of

187
00:13:54.919 --> 00:14:00.559
these. You don't have three of
them? No, No, two with

188
00:14:00.600 --> 00:14:05.679
the white trucker. Oh oh right, yeah one's uh, I got both

189
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.159
of them. You can't buy because
I only wear one off stuff. Right,

190
00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:11.879
that's your old stick is you just
wear the authority thing, right exactly.

191
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:16.039
It has to be an exclusive just
him. Yeah, all right,

192
00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.600
that's enough about me. That was
the the Alex hour. I just I

193
00:14:20.639 --> 00:14:24.279
felt like I had to bring that
up. That that is unbelievable. I

194
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:28.720
just it just paints an even more
broad picture. Do you remember like when

195
00:14:28.799 --> 00:14:33.639
we were kids and we were going
to prom together, Like how exciting it

196
00:14:33.879 --> 00:14:37.480
was with our group of friends,
like at least my senior year because you

197
00:14:37.480 --> 00:14:43.120
were a junior. We all,
you know, and it's like twenty minutes.

198
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:48.240
This dude put a timer on.
Ye went into overtime. Yeah,

199
00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:54.399
he had an alarm. That's alarming. It is alarming. Honestly, man,

200
00:14:54.440 --> 00:14:56.440
there is nobody in the world like
you. That's that's a fact.

201
00:14:56.480 --> 00:15:01.200
Man, that's true. Don't maybe
well, I mean it could go you.

202
00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:09.000
I wasn't necessarily kidding you a compliment
there, so, but in all

203
00:15:09.039 --> 00:15:13.320
seriousness, man, that that that's
that's hilarious. So we got the what

204
00:15:13.639 --> 00:15:18.399
ifs. I'm reading my questions from
that question there. It's been a minute.

205
00:15:18.879 --> 00:15:22.720
It has been a minute since we've
done a one what if? But

206
00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.840
f get we're here. It's gonna
be fun. We are. We have

207
00:15:28.919 --> 00:15:33.759
talked it over extensively, and at
least for this episode, we're gonna be

208
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.240
doing all Patreon jar. I feel
like we did that last time. We've

209
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:39.519
definitely no, we mixed it up
last time. I remember vividly, Okay,

210
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:46.639
vividly vividly was I wearing. Honestly, I think it was the same

211
00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.720
shirt. Okay, I'm gonna look
it up. Okay, if you're right,

212
00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:56.840
dude, I'm just gonna bow before
you, like Lisa. Yeah,

213
00:15:56.879 --> 00:16:03.480
so this one, this episode is
all gonna be submissions from our discord through

214
00:16:03.559 --> 00:16:07.960
our Patreon, Patreon dot com slash
bloodso said Sue. Oh, I just

215
00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:12.000
thought to say something on our discord. We had an event the other night

216
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:15.360
if you want to do oh yeah
that a little bit. Yeah, we

217
00:16:15.399 --> 00:16:18.639
had an event the other night where
for the first so we do we try

218
00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:23.399
to do every month or two,
we'll do some kind of event where we

219
00:16:23.480 --> 00:16:27.919
hang out with as many people in
the discord that can make it. It's

220
00:16:29.000 --> 00:16:33.559
usually some form of like voice chat. Sometimes we like play games. Sometimes

221
00:16:33.559 --> 00:16:37.480
we've watched movies before, but mostly
most of the time it's just like hop

222
00:16:37.519 --> 00:16:42.039
in and chat with everybody and just
talk or whatever. But this last time,

223
00:16:42.080 --> 00:16:47.320
which was what last week, Monday, Monday the other day, we

224
00:16:47.440 --> 00:16:51.120
had a cool idea. We sat
here in the studio, you know,

225
00:16:51.159 --> 00:16:55.519
because we're we live close by now. We sat right here and we turned

226
00:16:55.519 --> 00:17:00.120
on the camera and it was kind
of like a live episode of Blood so

227
00:17:00.240 --> 00:17:04.640
said so. But we were interacting
with the chat people were chatting and sending

228
00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:11.720
messages and gifts and like goofs and
gaffs, and and then we started kind

229
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:15.559
of pulling people in one on one
and just spending a few minutes talking to

230
00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:19.160
people. It was so much fun. It was very fun. It really

231
00:17:19.160 --> 00:17:22.160
did feel like an episode. It
did, even though we went for two

232
00:17:22.160 --> 00:17:26.640
hours. Yeah, it went by
like that. And I at the end

233
00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:27.599
of it, I mean, it's
like it was late in the night and

234
00:17:29.079 --> 00:17:30.759
we got stuff going on. But
at the end of it, I was

235
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:33.079
like, dang, dude, like
that could have went on another two hours.

236
00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.039
Absolutely, it just went by so
fast. It was so fun.

237
00:17:36.119 --> 00:17:40.440
I'm looking forward to doing that in
the future and going even longer. Yeah,

238
00:17:40.480 --> 00:17:44.279
for sure. And like this is
just one iteration of some of the

239
00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:47.240
wonderful things that we're going to be
able to implement now that Nick lives here

240
00:17:47.240 --> 00:17:49.960
and we've got some other ideas we're
cooking up. Yes, let's patreon dot

241
00:17:51.000 --> 00:17:53.960
com slash blood so said so for
some more cool stuff. Ryan, Yes,

242
00:17:55.000 --> 00:17:57.319
sir, get ready to bow down
my friend. He was wearing that

243
00:17:57.359 --> 00:18:03.200
shirt exaction. You're I got the
receipts right here. You're lying show me.

244
00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:11.400
Oh my god. For the listener, Ryan is bowing before the camera's

245
00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:15.319
there. The camera does not see
Ryan, right right. That's why that's

246
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:18.559
what I said for the listener.
Man, dude, that I'm honestly shocked.

247
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:32.880
There will be signs and wonders.
I am psychic. That got me.

248
00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.559
That got me, Dude, you're
still gar You're still goar. I'm

249
00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:42.400
still going, Oh my god,
that I actually another miracle. I just

250
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:48.079
lost the question. I don't know
I read I read it though I know

251
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:51.240
it. Hey, you know what, I'll show you a miracle. I'm

252
00:18:51.240 --> 00:18:56.720
gonna quote the question don't you touch
it or you'll lose your hand? What

253
00:18:57.799 --> 00:19:04.359
I wanted to prove that I could
quote what is happening this episode what don't

254
00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:15.119
you gotta send a message old school
from Chiron Phoenix. Chiron Phoenix, thank

255
00:19:15.160 --> 00:19:22.160
you. What if there is only
one thing and something about the illusion of

256
00:19:22.200 --> 00:19:26.920
separation? What's the man? And
our life is an illusion of separation?

257
00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:30.680
What if there is only one thing
in our life is an illusion of separation?

258
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:37.119
Separation, Chiron Phoenix. This has
been This has been discussed for eons,

259
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:42.119
for forever, since the beginning,
since the beginning, and through like

260
00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:51.200
many different lenses. And it's something
that I actually think about a lot for

261
00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:56.640
some reason because even even like scientifically
like string theory, like look at string

262
00:19:56.720 --> 00:20:00.640
theory, it's the whole of string
theory is essential. Like if you zoom

263
00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:07.279
in the absolute farthest that you can
on any cell or any multicellular organism or

264
00:20:07.319 --> 00:20:12.160
anything in the world, anything at
all. Everything is made of just tiny,

265
00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:18.359
tiny, little like subparticle strings,
right, which would be the one

266
00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:25.160
thing you know that everything is made
of. But from a philosophical lens or

267
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:30.480
like an occult lens, it's like
you could look at it as everything is

268
00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:36.119
soul, right, everything is the
mind, whereas in alchemy they call it

269
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.440
asof do they that's like what the
it's like the force, yeah, like

270
00:20:41.519 --> 00:20:45.000
the life force of that. Yeah, the intelligence, Yeah, it's azof

271
00:20:45.000 --> 00:20:48.680
it's it's the principle that animates the
universe. And yeah, I mean I

272
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:56.400
I do believe that that's intrinsically true. I think it's like at this point

273
00:20:56.519 --> 00:21:02.519
with all of the knowledge that exists
so far back in the ancient world,

274
00:21:02.640 --> 00:21:04.839
and you know, sure most people
aren't aware of it. That's that's the

275
00:21:04.920 --> 00:21:10.480
key here is getting people aware of
it. But I think like the onus

276
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.599
is to disprove it at this point, right, Yeah. Yeah, And

277
00:21:15.759 --> 00:21:19.000
like you know, there's there's multiple
ways that people have interpreted this. People.

278
00:21:19.160 --> 00:21:23.119
You know, I've heard like everything
is light, everything is energy,

279
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:30.640
there's many lenses consciousness. Yeah,
everything is consciousness. I think that the

280
00:21:30.680 --> 00:21:36.839
whole, like as off Alchemy angle
is like that's kind of what I like

281
00:21:36.960 --> 00:21:40.240
feel at least, you know,
if I if I try to think about

282
00:21:40.279 --> 00:21:45.400
it and think, like intuitively what
resonates with me, Like everything is like

283
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:49.680
spirit or everything is you know,
spirit, energy, whatever, whatever you

284
00:21:49.680 --> 00:21:55.240
want to call it, Like,
you know, the whole Plato's Cave thing.

285
00:21:55.759 --> 00:22:00.559
You know, we talked about it
in the Dreams episode recently, Like

286
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:06.799
even Hinduism being the oldest recorded religion. You know, obviously that there's an

287
00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:11.279
argument to be made that maybe there
are wisdom traditions that could be older than

288
00:22:11.319 --> 00:22:14.799
all of them. I'm not saying
that's not true or not possible, but

289
00:22:14.839 --> 00:22:18.599
I'm just saying mainstream recorded religions,
Hinduism is the oldest. It's at least

290
00:22:18.680 --> 00:22:23.440
five thousand years old. Yeah,
And that's just, like I want to

291
00:22:23.480 --> 00:22:26.920
say, that's just when the texts
were written, like it was orally transmitted

292
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.519
for a very long time, and
it's the basis of their cosmology is that

293
00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:34.240
this is just all the dream of
God, It's all the dream of Brahma,

294
00:22:34.319 --> 00:22:38.279
you know. Yeah, Like and
if that's true, if that's the

295
00:22:38.319 --> 00:22:42.400
case, just from a psychology perspective, when you have a dream at night

296
00:22:42.440 --> 00:22:45.519
and you have a cast of characters
in your dream, they're all different parts

297
00:22:45.559 --> 00:22:49.079
of your psyche. Yes, they're
all different characters of your mind. Yeah,

298
00:22:49.119 --> 00:22:53.400
they're all one thing. There are
representations of your subconscious. The illusion

299
00:22:53.400 --> 00:22:57.519
of being separate absolutely. Yeah,
that's where it gets weird, the whole

300
00:22:57.559 --> 00:23:03.200
illusion of separate thing, because then
you get into like what is matter?

301
00:23:03.839 --> 00:23:07.880
You know, matter is essentially just
like energy. That's vibrating slow enough to

302
00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:12.400
create an illusion of matter. But
did you know I learned recently that literally,

303
00:23:12.400 --> 00:23:18.880
like cells literally never touch really,
they do not touch me. You

304
00:23:18.160 --> 00:23:22.000
you go like this and put your
hands together, and you're like, no,

305
00:23:22.039 --> 00:23:25.359
they're definitely touching, but like,
no, cells do not touch.

306
00:23:25.799 --> 00:23:30.759
Wow. Ever, Like it's unbelievable, that's weird. It's the illusion of

307
00:23:30.799 --> 00:23:36.119
separation. It's I mean, even
scientifically, matter is described as an illusion

308
00:23:36.799 --> 00:23:41.079
from everything that we know fundamentally about
science. Like it's it's not like,

309
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:45.240
it's it's weird. It breaks the
concept of like what is real and what's

310
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:48.960
not real. So somebody was tripping
out the other You lost your hat,

311
00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.720
Yeah, I got hot. Okay, somebody's tripping out the other day because

312
00:23:52.720 --> 00:23:59.960
of the words that they use to
describe our bodies that basically force this separate

313
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:03.839
language on you, like you're made
of cells, but cells, like a

314
00:24:03.000 --> 00:24:08.559
cell is somewhere you sit in solitude. Mmm, So you have all of

315
00:24:08.559 --> 00:24:15.319
these words for things that describe you
that go along with this illusion of separation.

316
00:24:15.880 --> 00:24:18.319
Damn do you're a poet and you
didn't even know it. I know,

317
00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:21.000
I definitely saw that online somewhere.
I'm not thinking credit, I'm just

318
00:24:21.079 --> 00:24:25.440
tripping because how can you become something
you already are? Because he said he

319
00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:33.400
got hot? Oh my gosh,
are you blushing now? I've been blessing

320
00:24:33.400 --> 00:24:37.400
since the beginning of this episode.
That's a great question, though, great

321
00:24:37.480 --> 00:24:41.680
question, Kiron Phoenix, thank you
so much. Thank you. That's a

322
00:24:41.960 --> 00:24:49.359
that's a banger, ructor you got
me pondering. Let's do another one.

323
00:24:51.440 --> 00:24:56.000
Don't what I'm I'm not allowed to
like exclaim enthusiastically. I'm not allowed at

324
00:24:56.039 --> 00:25:03.400
giggle. What's sure? Maybe maybe
I'm giggling with you, you know what

325
00:25:03.440 --> 00:25:07.440
I mean, not at you necessarily. All right, here we go.

326
00:25:07.640 --> 00:25:12.400
This one is from is that Joey
Calves? Yeah, C A V S.

327
00:25:14.079 --> 00:25:18.920
Joey Calves shout out, Shout out
Joey Calves Patreon dot Com, slash

328
00:25:18.000 --> 00:25:23.839
Let's said so inside the discord,
Joey, what if we are incarnated here

329
00:25:23.880 --> 00:25:29.920
to learn master thoughts? To learn
to master thoughts? I have bad writing?

330
00:25:30.880 --> 00:25:33.519
I was like, I was like, that sounds cool. What's a

331
00:25:33.599 --> 00:25:38.400
master to learn to master? What
if we are incarnated here to learn to

332
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:45.240
master thoughts? Because in higher realms, thoughts manifest quicker and net and negative

333
00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:53.200
thoughts would have detrimental effects on the
universe. Oh so higher higher realms thoughts.

334
00:25:53.559 --> 00:25:56.839
Oh, in higher realms, thoughts
manifest quicker and negative thoughts would have

335
00:25:56.880 --> 00:26:00.440
detrimental effects on the universe. That's
interesting to think about. I mean,

336
00:26:00.839 --> 00:26:04.480
how could we ever know that?
Right, it's just speculation, but it

337
00:26:06.519 --> 00:26:08.440
makes a lot of sense, Like, especially when you get into the story

338
00:26:08.440 --> 00:26:12.160
of Atlantis, Right, even though
there's so many different versions of it,

339
00:26:12.599 --> 00:26:19.440
when you look at like Heleno Blovotsky's
version or Edgar Casey, they all have

340
00:26:19.559 --> 00:26:26.559
this same story. That's like,
we were at the peak of our evolution,

341
00:26:26.400 --> 00:26:33.519
our evolutionary form of consciousness, whatever
version we manifested as. And the

342
00:26:33.559 --> 00:26:36.680
idea is that we were more spiritual
beings, we were less corporeal, and

343
00:26:36.720 --> 00:26:40.200
we were more psychic or you could
say magical or whatever. And the story

344
00:26:40.240 --> 00:26:47.200
there is that there was a group
who were basically like black magicians, who

345
00:26:48.480 --> 00:26:52.359
self serving, egotistical, you know, they had animalistic desires and wanted to

346
00:26:52.400 --> 00:27:00.319
gain from their abilities, basically caused
like the destruction of it all. I

347
00:27:00.319 --> 00:27:03.240
mean, it's similar concept, but
I mean, if that's true, that's

348
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.359
literally it makes sense. Yeah,
we've talked a lot about Like, you

349
00:27:08.359 --> 00:27:12.640
know, the reality that we live
in is mental. You know, there's

350
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:18.160
a lot of discussion about everything is
mental and manifestation, and that's how all

351
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.319
of that stuff works. Where your
mind goes, energy flows. Yes,

352
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.440
So your literal mission here, I
think is to master thought. Yeah,

353
00:27:26.480 --> 00:27:33.119
And coupled with my favorite quote that
I mentioned sometime ago, you suffer more

354
00:27:33.160 --> 00:27:38.160
in your imagination than you do in
reality. So I think that might be

355
00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:42.119
evidence, if I remember the question
correctly, that that is true, because

356
00:27:44.440 --> 00:27:52.799
if you think of your mind as
a etheric space, then you're causing more

357
00:27:52.880 --> 00:28:00.920
suffering thinking negatively quicker up here in
the ether in your mind than you are

358
00:28:02.079 --> 00:28:07.920
physically in reality. Yeah, So
mastering your thoughts is the goal. Yeah,

359
00:28:07.960 --> 00:28:15.039
And honestly, like mastering your thoughts, like that's one of the most

360
00:28:15.079 --> 00:28:22.240
difficult things that I could imagine mastering. You know, think about like I

361
00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:26.079
don't know, there's there's infinite examples
of this, but think about like meditation,

362
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:30.039
for instance. How shit's hard.
Yeah, I mean, like the

363
00:28:30.119 --> 00:28:33.279
classic sit down and think about nothing
meditation of course, right, right,

364
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:37.680
Like try to like to the whole
concept of trying to like clear your mind

365
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:42.799
and like enjoy a moment. You
know, it's like there are these branch

366
00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:48.319
off types of meditation that are now
kind of like more focused on like acknowledge

367
00:28:48.359 --> 00:28:52.920
your thoughts and like see them pass
by you and things like that. You

368
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:57.079
know, but the whole practice is
to learn how to deal with your thoughts.

369
00:28:57.799 --> 00:29:03.079
And it's just like such a behemoth. Like I feel like I feel

370
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:06.880
like that's like low key enlightenment,
like when you when you master your thoughts.

371
00:29:07.200 --> 00:29:11.119
Yeah, I can't. You know, I have trouble thinking of something

372
00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:14.200
that would be more difficult than mastering
your thoughts. Well, because you haven't

373
00:29:14.240 --> 00:29:17.839
mastered your thoughts. That's true.
I guess I just won't know until I

374
00:29:17.920 --> 00:29:21.240
mastered my thoughts. Yeah, then
you'll see it clearly. Yeah, it's

375
00:29:21.279 --> 00:29:26.240
like, you know, because it's
that there's this whole concept of like there's

376
00:29:26.319 --> 00:29:30.359
three you's. There's like the conscious
you, the subconscious you, and then

377
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:36.480
there's like the viewer of every of
all of it. There's like thoughts like

378
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:41.279
just like bombarding you from like randomly, things will just pop into your head.

379
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:42.440
You're like, where did that come
from? And it feels like it's

380
00:29:42.480 --> 00:29:45.480
not you. Yes, it feels
like it's not you. But then like

381
00:29:45.519 --> 00:29:51.000
a lot of people will judge themselves
from their thoughts, right, even if

382
00:29:51.000 --> 00:29:53.319
it's something that just like pops into
their mind and they're like, why you

383
00:29:53.319 --> 00:29:57.039
know I'm crazy. I must be
crazy because I'm having these thoughts like sometimes

384
00:29:57.079 --> 00:30:02.880
I want to do ridiculous things and
traffic. Yes, yeah, it's not

385
00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:07.079
me. The just popped in there. Oh dude. Every pretty much everybody

386
00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:11.039
I've ever talked to is like,
yeah, you ever have that thing where

387
00:30:11.079 --> 00:30:14.400
you're driving and you just want to
like like pull the steering wheel and crash

388
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.799
Like it's it's you're not called the
fanatost principle in psychology. Really yeah,

389
00:30:19.400 --> 00:30:23.079
there's like studies on this that you
know. It's like you ever standing up

390
00:30:23.119 --> 00:30:26.200
on a ledge and you're just like, what if I just jumped? Ye

391
00:30:26.240 --> 00:30:29.160
doesn't mean you actually want to do
it. Or you're like using a blender

392
00:30:29.160 --> 00:30:30.319
and you're like, what if I
just stuck my hand inside of this?

393
00:30:30.359 --> 00:30:33.039
While it's like going, yeah,
it's the fanatost principle. It's like how

394
00:30:33.119 --> 00:30:38.200
subconsciously we're we're aware of death at
all times? Right, you know what

395
00:30:38.240 --> 00:30:41.680
I mean? It's a natural urge, It's a natural curiosity, right,

396
00:30:41.759 --> 00:30:45.759
It's it's like it's really like a
defense mechanism to like warn you of like

397
00:30:45.799 --> 00:30:51.640
the worst case scenario type thing.
But a lot of people will like judge

398
00:30:51.680 --> 00:30:56.119
themselves for having thoughts like that or
other random thoughts in their mind. That's

399
00:30:56.119 --> 00:30:59.920
what the whole movie Turning Red is
about. It is literally movie great,

400
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.319
literally it is. That's a really
good example. Danatos is a Greek god

401
00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:06.599
of death, by the way,
yes you know, for those who weren't

402
00:31:06.599 --> 00:31:10.039
aware, Oh yes, but that's
something my dad is very big on,

403
00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:14.240
like to shine a light on how
he is in private. He is very

404
00:31:14.279 --> 00:31:18.279
big on like literally how you think
about other people when they're not around,

405
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:22.920
Like not how you speak even,
but how you think about them. He's

406
00:31:22.000 --> 00:31:26.519
always he's so big on like don't
judge, don't judge. That's why I'm

407
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.079
always saying that. It's because you
beat it into my head. Don't judge

408
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:33.480
people. You know, you gotta
You can't make somebody be what you want

409
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:34.559
them to be. You have to
love people for who you are. You

410
00:31:34.559 --> 00:31:37.519
have to change your thoughts about them. And it took me a long time

411
00:31:37.559 --> 00:31:41.599
to really like believe that, and
it's hard to master. It is very

412
00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.960
hard to master, but it's it's
like one of the most important things that

413
00:31:47.039 --> 00:31:52.279
you can do in your life.
Like your your life. You will become

414
00:31:52.519 --> 00:32:00.480
an infinitely happier person when you start
to notice the little judgments you may have,

415
00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:06.200
or even big judgments you may have
about people around you. Like,

416
00:32:06.400 --> 00:32:12.039
ultimately, life is really really hard, but it's also really really beautiful,

417
00:32:12.480 --> 00:32:17.000
and there's beauty in every aspect of
every person. Like it's it's true,

418
00:32:17.160 --> 00:32:21.279
and they may be very different from
you, and it may make you very,

419
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:25.720
very uncomfortable, but like we all
know how important it is to feel

420
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:31.480
loved and cared and accepted, and
like giving that to people is the best

421
00:32:31.559 --> 00:32:38.400
gift that you could give. Just
like we had Alex moaning No, well,

422
00:32:38.519 --> 00:32:42.799
I wanted to say to Ryan while
we're on the what you brought up

423
00:32:42.799 --> 00:32:45.759
your dad, And I just want
to say, for all the people out

424
00:32:45.799 --> 00:32:50.200
there and all the rumors, he
is doing well. What rumors. So

425
00:32:50.400 --> 00:32:52.440
he's been quiet and so people are
like worried, Oh oh, yeah,

426
00:32:52.440 --> 00:32:55.640
I've been reading some comments. So
your dad is doing well. You're doing

427
00:32:55.759 --> 00:32:59.720
very well. He's great. He'd
been living with me for the last week.

428
00:32:59.759 --> 00:33:01.960
We've working on my new house.
Yeah, he's hard at work.

429
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:06.119
He's doing great. He's a very
busy guy. Yeah, yeah, for

430
00:33:06.160 --> 00:33:10.319
sure, he's got you know,
It's like I I can understand. You

431
00:33:10.319 --> 00:33:14.839
know, It's like he posts or
videos every day for a while, and

432
00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:17.759
I imagine that for a lot of
people out there in the world who don't

433
00:33:17.799 --> 00:33:22.519
see this kind of thing, they're
waiting to see the next video. Yes,

434
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:25.400
I think about this because I didn't
think about it like that, you

435
00:33:25.400 --> 00:33:29.720
know, because I was so used
to the trauma of being ridiculed and criticized.

436
00:33:29.720 --> 00:33:32.680
But anyway, it's like I could, I could understand why he stops

437
00:33:32.720 --> 00:33:37.559
posting and people become worried, But
the reality is he's still getting the videos,

438
00:33:37.559 --> 00:33:39.640
He's still out there. He's just
taking a break from dealing with social

439
00:33:39.720 --> 00:33:44.359
media. You ever ran a social
media even your own, and like yeah,

440
00:33:44.359 --> 00:33:46.599
and like actually like tried to get
out there, Like it's very mentally

441
00:33:46.640 --> 00:33:50.960
taxing, and he just needs a
break and he's just trying to enjoy life

442
00:33:51.000 --> 00:33:53.920
for a while. I actually deleted
mine off my phone last week. Really,

443
00:33:54.160 --> 00:33:59.720
yeah, too much time. So
yeah, it's it's it's a it's

444
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:02.160
a big commitment. It'll go back
on because I've like I feel bad because

445
00:34:02.160 --> 00:34:07.480
we have the podcast and like there's
some level of responsibility for like keeping up

446
00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:08.920
with that stuff. But like I
was, I'm like, I'm taking a

447
00:34:08.920 --> 00:34:15.000
break for a little while. Yeah. Mostly it's a mental commitment, absolutely.

448
00:34:15.000 --> 00:34:16.559
You know, it's not even that
it's like a commitment, you know,

449
00:34:16.679 --> 00:34:21.159
like sure, you you got to
do stuff. And and and I

450
00:34:21.159 --> 00:34:24.559
don't even really post on my Instagram
a whole lot because of the mental tax

451
00:34:24.639 --> 00:34:28.920
and the dream in the in the
commitments I post when I feel moved to

452
00:34:28.960 --> 00:34:32.199
post anymore. I don't care about
growing for sure, the Instagram following and

453
00:34:32.239 --> 00:34:36.199
trying to like this or that or
the other, and and and that's the

454
00:34:36.239 --> 00:34:38.159
same way. It's just like we're
doing our thing. We're putting out there

455
00:34:38.159 --> 00:34:42.320
whatever we want to put out there, and you know, we don't owe

456
00:34:42.320 --> 00:34:45.840
anybody anything for sure. For sure. That's that's a weird thing about social

457
00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:51.880
media where people feel like they like
have to post stuff, and so they'll

458
00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:54.920
just put together whatever just to post
it. And yeah, I get months

459
00:34:54.920 --> 00:35:02.079
sometimes it's it's very mentally taxing.
But give me the jar. Thank you,

460
00:35:02.360 --> 00:35:05.880
Joey Chavez. That was a really
good question. Yeah it was,

461
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:12.639
And that was a fun one.
Alex Is pulling one whoa back into what

462
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:16.599
if train? You all it's been
a minute. I'm excited. Yeah,

463
00:35:16.679 --> 00:35:22.800
it has been. It's fun.
Well we got all right? This one

464
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:30.639
is from Inside the Discord, Inside
the Pictreon to the Stars eighty seven.

465
00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:36.000
All right, hang on, let
me hit the soundboard here. Hey,

466
00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:40.320
what what if the edge of the
universe wasn't the end but the beginning?

467
00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:49.280
Oh wow, that could be interpreted
a couple of ways. You get to

468
00:35:49.320 --> 00:35:52.159
the you get to the edge of
the universe, and it's the beginning of

469
00:35:53.159 --> 00:36:01.039
that universe or the beginning of another
universe. How do you interpret that?

470
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:05.840
I don't. I don't. You
can call me crazy. I don't really

471
00:36:05.920 --> 00:36:09.000
quite know where I land on space. Hold up, what are you talking

472
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:12.320
about? I don't know, but
we're talking about traveling to the end of

473
00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:17.920
the universe. You believe in the
universe? I mean, I don't know

474
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.599
how big it is. That's my
thing. Well, if it's a foot

475
00:36:22.679 --> 00:36:25.599
or if it's a light year,
you know there's still an end to it

476
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:30.639
theoretically, right, I mean so
then, okay, so this is the

477
00:36:30.719 --> 00:36:32.000
end of the yard stick there.
This is making me think, like Horton,

478
00:36:32.039 --> 00:36:36.440
here's a who type thing. What
are you saying? Like, right,

479
00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:39.920
our universe is this jar, okay, right next to its jar,

480
00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:47.159
and we're all on a dandelion pods
pod universes butt it up next to each

481
00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:51.000
other. Wouldn't it be crazy if
you could see if we could see other

482
00:36:51.039 --> 00:36:55.519
planets like we would other countries.
Imagine the news you know how we have,

483
00:36:55.639 --> 00:37:00.840
like you know, we have world
news. You've got all these things

484
00:37:00.840 --> 00:37:02.360
going on. We've got a twenty
four hour news cycle for the world.

485
00:37:02.480 --> 00:37:07.519
Imagine if we had other planets we
had to monitor and create monetization off of

486
00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:10.800
news. You know what it'd be
like. It'd be like there's weapons of

487
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:15.360
mass destruction on Pluto. Yeah,
we've got to go invade yep. It

488
00:37:15.360 --> 00:37:17.480
would just be the same thing as
it is now on a larger scale.

489
00:37:17.840 --> 00:37:22.920
Yeah. Or it could be a
utopia like Star Trek, like it's like

490
00:37:22.960 --> 00:37:25.159
a well, I don't know if
I would call it utopia because there's like

491
00:37:25.239 --> 00:37:29.119
evil aliens. Yeah, they're like
bad guys and stuff there are, but

492
00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:34.440
like humanity, Oh, they threatened
the authority. Yes, I would say

493
00:37:34.440 --> 00:37:38.639
though that if that does have eventually
refined you know, sophisticated life and whatever.

494
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:43.840
I think high up on the priority
list is making lightsabers real. That's

495
00:37:43.880 --> 00:37:47.039
already a thing. They did it. It's done, it's done. They

496
00:37:47.039 --> 00:37:52.480
did it. And so in recent
years there have been like multiple like it's

497
00:37:52.480 --> 00:37:58.079
a real lightsaber, but like most
of them had like a giant power cord

498
00:37:58.199 --> 00:38:00.639
coming out of them, and it's
like, okay, and it's really just

499
00:38:00.679 --> 00:38:06.440
like a torch or whatever. But
you know what I'm saying, Like for

500
00:38:06.599 --> 00:38:09.400
years it's just been that, but
like very recently they have one that has

501
00:38:09.480 --> 00:38:15.199
no cord, no nothing, and
it's like actually like when you touch it,

502
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.679
there's resistant, like when you touch
it to they can like touch each

503
00:38:17.679 --> 00:38:23.360
other. I don't know. I
don't know that that probably wouldn't happen.

504
00:38:23.400 --> 00:38:28.000
I don't know, but it's it's
not possible. No, it's just like

505
00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:32.360
heat and light, you know,
like even technically and obviously this is a

506
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.519
weird nitpick, but like even in
Star Wars, it's like, how are

507
00:38:36.559 --> 00:38:39.199
those bouncing? It's just light?
How are those bouncing? How does it

508
00:38:39.199 --> 00:38:43.800
bounce off anything? Well, it's
a saber too, it is, but

509
00:38:43.880 --> 00:38:51.039
it's light. But it's a sword. Okay. And in the beginning I'm

510
00:38:51.079 --> 00:38:52.960
having a hard time wrapping my mind
around this. I mean, it's like

511
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:59.400
a toroidal field. It's like it's
like damn, It's like damn King Kong

512
00:38:59.480 --> 00:39:02.119
verse God's you know what I mean. They go down into the ocean.

513
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:06.320
I don't, and they get to
the you don't know. You hadn't seen

514
00:39:06.360 --> 00:39:08.199
it, or you don't know.
I hadn't seen it, but I can

515
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:12.599
try to picture it, and I'm
still I'm not quite there yet, but

516
00:39:12.719 --> 00:39:15.400
You're you're not finished, so I
might. It's like they go down to

517
00:39:15.400 --> 00:39:17.599
the bottom of the ocean and they
go through a portal and it's like,

518
00:39:17.599 --> 00:39:22.639
whoop, there is you know,
they're in a different I would buy that,

519
00:39:22.760 --> 00:39:25.239
though in real life that down at
the I mean it's as above so

520
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:28.840
below, bro, Like, yeah, I I would buy that. If

521
00:39:28.880 --> 00:39:30.559
you told me there's a portal in
the ocean, I like, you know

522
00:39:30.599 --> 00:39:35.320
what. I know. This isn't
bating to the question. But I saw

523
00:39:35.800 --> 00:39:37.840
I can't remember if I saw it
on Reddit or if I saw it on

524
00:39:37.920 --> 00:39:44.760
TikTok or what. But it was
like somebody who used to work Now granted

525
00:39:44.840 --> 00:39:50.480
I am loosely paraphrasing here, it
was like they worked at NASA or the

526
00:39:50.599 --> 00:39:54.400
Navy or something, and they were
trying to do like deep ocean mapping,

527
00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:59.880
like way down, miles down,
like farther than like what James Cameron be.

528
00:40:00.320 --> 00:40:05.920
Yeah, no far anti space exploration
and pro ocean exploration. Just for

529
00:40:05.960 --> 00:40:09.519
the record, right, everybody that
got that down, write that, don't

530
00:40:09.599 --> 00:40:13.719
you do not want to forget the
record is sacred. Jot that down,

531
00:40:15.199 --> 00:40:17.280
yeah, digitize it. Tell me
more. I want to know more about

532
00:40:17.280 --> 00:40:22.360
this map. They were doing deep
ocean exploration trying to chart like abysses and

533
00:40:22.400 --> 00:40:36.239
stuff, and apparently they found horrific
super intelligent cephalopod creatures that were extremely dangerous.

534
00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:40.519
Oh my god, what sense like
or they'll break you apart with their

535
00:40:40.559 --> 00:40:45.360
mind. No, no, neither, well maybe they have teeth, but

536
00:40:45.400 --> 00:40:50.559
they were just like like like,
imagine something that's like so intelligent it knows

537
00:40:50.599 --> 00:40:52.639
how to dismantle a summarine. Oh
you know what I mean? Stuff like

538
00:40:52.679 --> 00:40:58.360
that, like literally the King,
Yeah, I guess, like like literally

539
00:40:58.400 --> 00:41:06.559
the demon cracking from I almost said, Johnny Depp. Could I could smell

540
00:41:06.599 --> 00:41:10.440
you were about to say it,
Dude Jones, the demon cracking from Johnny

541
00:41:10.480 --> 00:41:14.519
Depp. Dude, that is crazy. That's the most absurd sentence I've ever

542
00:41:14.519 --> 00:41:16.480
heard. Yeah, it is.
It may very well be other than the

543
00:41:16.480 --> 00:41:22.199
twenty minute thing. And one of
the scariest things I can imagine is a

544
00:41:22.320 --> 00:41:29.360
hyper intelligent cphalopod dismantling your submarine.
People are scared of sharks. I know,

545
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:34.239
well the people will be scary too. People would be me right right,

546
00:41:34.320 --> 00:41:37.199
You're smart to be scared. I
got big teeth. And also I've

547
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.280
seen a bunch of them. I'm
not seeing one of these cephalopods. I

548
00:41:39.360 --> 00:41:45.719
rest my case and dropped that down. Oh damn. I'm very interested though,

549
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:49.480
and I'm gonna go look into this. You just got God. But

550
00:41:49.559 --> 00:41:52.000
my point in saying that is like, there's a whole world down there that

551
00:41:52.000 --> 00:41:53.519
we're not aware of, you know, and it is as above so below.

552
00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:57.400
It's like it's like I imagine that
space would be the same thing.

553
00:41:57.639 --> 00:42:06.000
And I I tend to think that
this inherently is a consciousness based simulation.

554
00:42:06.440 --> 00:42:10.679
Like, what are your thoughts on
the multiverse. I believe in it.

555
00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:14.920
I mean, if there's other dimensions, then it's it's kind of like another

556
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:16.679
universe, right, yeah, I
mean I feel like, I mean,

557
00:42:16.679 --> 00:42:22.039
what's our definition here? I'm not
a quantum physicist, but no, no,

558
00:42:22.079 --> 00:42:24.880
it's different. Not necessarily no,
but yeah, so according to quantum

559
00:42:24.880 --> 00:42:30.239
physics, which some people consider fringe, I wanna say cringe some people.

560
00:42:30.239 --> 00:42:34.679
It's not cringe. I'm sure some
people consider very interesting. If you consider

561
00:42:34.760 --> 00:42:38.440
quantum physics cringe your cringe. Ye, honestly your cringe got that down,

562
00:42:42.239 --> 00:42:46.159
doubt you. Guys have a lot
of writing to do. But yes,

563
00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:51.760
so even in quantum physics, the
multiverse theory is like a strong theory.

564
00:42:51.840 --> 00:42:55.599
It's it's right up there next to
string theory, where essentially there's like a

565
00:42:55.719 --> 00:43:00.719
possibly infinite number of universes. Some
people think it's infinite. Some people think

566
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:05.960
it's like specifically like nine or or
eleven, right, something like that.

567
00:43:06.159 --> 00:43:09.519
You've heard that, yeah, there
is a string theory like there's eleven yes

568
00:43:09.599 --> 00:43:14.039
or dimensions, but then there's also
just as many, if not more,

569
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:21.920
theories that there's infinite number of universes. The thing that I've always pondered about,

570
00:43:21.960 --> 00:43:28.079
like the multiverse, uh, is
that what separates those dimensions? You

571
00:43:28.119 --> 00:43:34.880
know, you hear things like the
there are there are portals that are doors

572
00:43:34.920 --> 00:43:37.840
to these other dimensions, but then
you'll also hear other things that say like

573
00:43:38.679 --> 00:43:45.079
that other dimensions are like layered over
our dimension or our our reality. It's

574
00:43:45.079 --> 00:43:50.039
like literally around you right now.
You just can't see it or experience it

575
00:43:50.119 --> 00:43:55.480
because it's it's in a different dimension, but in occupying the same space or

576
00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:00.239
whatever. I feel like, out
of both of those, the one that

577
00:44:00.320 --> 00:44:07.880
makes the most sense to me would
be that they're somewhere else. Do you

578
00:44:07.920 --> 00:44:12.679
know that the that the dimensions are
not layered, because I think that they

579
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:15.239
are. I think, Okay,
it's like I think that there's there's an

580
00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:20.840
invisible spiritual world all around us.
Well, yeah, like an avatar.

581
00:44:21.360 --> 00:44:23.400
Are you saying, like, oh, here's another dimension where there's another version

582
00:44:23.440 --> 00:44:25.639
of me living a whole lot,
right, Yeah, that would be somewhere

583
00:44:25.639 --> 00:44:30.039
else. I agree, Right,
I think that both could simultaneously make sense.

584
00:44:30.079 --> 00:44:35.280
It just kind of depends on if
you consider the spirit realm like an

585
00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:37.239
alternate universe. You know, I
think that's what I'm saying. It's a

586
00:44:37.239 --> 00:44:40.719
definition problem, it is, it
is. It's all speculations. Yes,

587
00:44:42.000 --> 00:44:45.280
I feel like the spirit realm is
definitely something that's like layered on top of

588
00:44:45.320 --> 00:44:51.239
our reality, onto or below our
reality, and you know, it's it's

589
00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:54.360
like coexisting. But as far as
the whole like multiverse theory where there's like

590
00:44:54.400 --> 00:44:59.960
infinite versions of you or whatever that
I don't know. There's a version of

591
00:45:00.239 --> 00:45:04.400
it. Start in space jam three
there is. And I was like the

592
00:45:04.440 --> 00:45:07.440
basketball Star. Yeah like that,
Yeah, I was the star. It

593
00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:14.639
was Michael Jordan and then Lebron James
and then me. Yes, I want

594
00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:17.119
to visit that real. I do
too, man, I really do.

595
00:45:17.199 --> 00:45:20.920
I want to see me like thriving
in that way. What am I like

596
00:45:20.960 --> 00:45:24.199
seven feet tall? Yeah? Oh
damn dude, I want to go there.

597
00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:28.840
Yeah. Man, you play for
what? What? What team do

598
00:45:28.880 --> 00:45:30.760
you play for? Again? Man? Yeah, it's not the Lakers.

599
00:45:30.760 --> 00:45:32.119
I'm trying to think, of course. You you remember they don't know that

600
00:45:32.159 --> 00:45:37.280
many basketball teams, I know,
but you remember it's and then like the

601
00:45:37.320 --> 00:45:38.960
sixty nine ers, Yes, yes, yes, of course, But what's

602
00:45:39.000 --> 00:45:44.519
that team? The forty nine ers. That's football, that's football sixty nine.

603
00:45:44.559 --> 00:45:47.079
But I'm pretty sure it's seventy six
ers. I thought it was.

604
00:45:47.159 --> 00:45:52.639
It is definitely the sixty nine ers, for sure, for sure it is.

605
00:45:52.760 --> 00:45:57.239
Uh yeah, that was it's the
seventy six ers, not in this

606
00:45:57.400 --> 00:46:00.079
universe the seventy nine You're wrong,
lame, you don't know anything about sports.

607
00:46:00.800 --> 00:46:07.519
Yeah, and and his in my
universe, I think if agraph Yeah,

608
00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:12.039
no, you can't because of that
Timer story. No, he stopped

609
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:15.280
giving autographs. Did it became too
much? It was way too much.

610
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:21.119
It really was. You. I
know, I'm good at basketball, and

611
00:46:21.199 --> 00:46:23.719
I can hang out with the Looney
Tunes. But leave me alone. Sometimes

612
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:28.079
you just want to go to the
grocery store like everybody else. Normal guy.

613
00:46:28.239 --> 00:46:31.719
Yeah, you know, and leave
me alone. It's a banana,

614
00:46:31.800 --> 00:46:36.880
Michael, what is it? Sorry? T Sorry, I was channeling my

615
00:46:37.039 --> 00:46:40.760
alternate universe self. Yeah, back, I'm missing damn Looney Tunes man.

616
00:46:43.039 --> 00:46:45.800
All right. If the spirit well, I got one more thing to say

617
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:49.800
about that question. Please, If
if the spiritual law as above so below

618
00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.679
is true, and I do think
it is, I think it's the most

619
00:46:52.719 --> 00:46:57.519
important spiritual law that we can use
to understand these things. That's what it

620
00:46:57.559 --> 00:47:00.360
says in the Cibian Right, It's
like if you if you ponder as above

621
00:47:00.360 --> 00:47:04.880
so below, it'll open the doorway
to understanding the higher realities, right,

622
00:47:05.119 --> 00:47:08.119
And I do believe that. And
if that's true, then what that basically

623
00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:12.239
means is if you're new to the
show or you hadn't been here, a

624
00:47:12.280 --> 00:47:16.840
while. Yet it means that the
higher realms, or rather the lower realms,

625
00:47:16.880 --> 00:47:21.519
the lower dimensions are like a mirror
image or like a fractal of the

626
00:47:21.559 --> 00:47:25.360
higher realms. Right, So think
about it like the macrocosm versus the microcosm.

627
00:47:25.719 --> 00:47:30.400
Think about it like you have a
city versus a state, versus a

628
00:47:30.480 --> 00:47:35.800
country, versus a continent versus a
planet, right, you know, and

629
00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:37.519
it keeps going up and up,
But then you can also go all the

630
00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:42.360
way down infinitely. You look at
the cell and you zoom down and you

631
00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.880
get on their level, and you
see billions of them, and it's this

632
00:47:45.039 --> 00:47:47.519
infinite little world inside of your body. And then if you zoom in on

633
00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:51.960
one of those, like you were
saying string theory, it's another infinite little

634
00:47:51.960 --> 00:47:54.079
world inside of them. So it
has to exist in that way in the

635
00:47:54.159 --> 00:48:00.480
universe. So like, maybe let's
just say, let's just pretend that,

636
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:02.760
you know, hypothetically the model of
the universe forgiven is true, and we

637
00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:06.239
can get in this ship and we
can just go all the way to the

638
00:48:06.320 --> 00:48:08.719
end of it. It might take
fifty billion lifetimes, but assuming that we

639
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:14.880
can make the journey, right,
I feel like it's infinite evolution. Is

640
00:48:14.960 --> 00:48:21.800
happening based on conscious observation. Right, So even like you have some forests

641
00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:25.320
in the Amazon that's never been seen, it's never been touched. Sure,

642
00:48:25.320 --> 00:48:30.320
it exists, there's animals, there's
trees, there's overgrowth and all this jungle,

643
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:34.199
right, But what would happen if
we were to show up there?

644
00:48:34.639 --> 00:48:37.719
Then we would start trimming the jungle
and we would start evolving it, right,

645
00:48:37.760 --> 00:48:43.360
We would start putting up buildings,
We would start changing the literal structure

646
00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:47.079
of this area, and over time, infinitely it would it would constantly evolve

647
00:48:47.079 --> 00:48:51.760
and change and change. And every
time we find these new frontiers, we

648
00:48:51.840 --> 00:48:54.000
evolve them, right, I mean
more or less. I feel like,

649
00:48:54.920 --> 00:48:59.679
what would happen if we were to
get into a ship and we would go

650
00:48:59.760 --> 00:49:04.840
all all the way to the edge
of the universe. It would keep being

651
00:49:04.880 --> 00:49:08.519
observed, right, it would just
keep being observed. And I feel like,

652
00:49:09.159 --> 00:49:13.280
if this is a consciousness based simulation, like it's just going to keep

653
00:49:13.320 --> 00:49:17.639
going as it's observed. Yeah,
right, if that keep rendering. But

654
00:49:17.679 --> 00:49:21.480
then I don't know, because I
often contemplate can we even get in a

655
00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:25.280
physical metal vessel and fly out of
there? I wonder if this is the

656
00:49:25.320 --> 00:49:31.639
realm and those are just like luminaries, you know, like I'm open to

657
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:36.280
both. I can't ever know until
I'm dead, right, we really can't

658
00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:38.920
know these answers. Gosh, I'd
be so bummed if you didn't find out.

659
00:49:39.880 --> 00:49:45.480
Well, well, yeah you won't, but but I won't be saying

660
00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:51.320
but yeah, anyway, great question, Yes, great, great, Now

661
00:49:51.320 --> 00:49:55.039
I gotta think about that. I
like to see you think they hate it

662
00:49:55.079 --> 00:50:00.599
when I ponder. I like to
see the muscles on your forehead, the

663
00:50:00.599 --> 00:50:06.639
they're they're working overtime. Yeah,
the throbbing veins in your forehead. I'm

664
00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:08.760
scared to put the camera on me. Now it's on you. Oh well

665
00:50:08.760 --> 00:50:13.360
maybe maybe they not on you,
but I can see you in the camera

666
00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:20.760
and it's flattering. Is it my
turn? Yes? Oh, let's give

667
00:50:20.800 --> 00:50:28.239
a shout out. Read that name
right there and make it good. Blake

668
00:50:28.760 --> 00:50:34.840
Powers see space jam three. Wait
what that was your basketball voice? Oh?

669
00:50:34.840 --> 00:50:39.960
Oh okay, what if every video
game was a channeled experience into another

670
00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:45.199
dimension? Okay? Oh, this
is kind of similar. So the first

671
00:50:45.239 --> 00:50:50.519
question we had with life separation illusion
thing that will first start making me think

672
00:50:50.559 --> 00:50:53.360
by death, then started making me
think about what if you just take the

673
00:50:53.400 --> 00:51:00.719
headset off one day and you're in
an arcade right like that ricking yes,

674
00:51:00.880 --> 00:51:04.719
yes, where he lives an entire
lifetime and then he comes out and he's

675
00:51:04.760 --> 00:51:09.719
like, oh my god, what
does happen? I feel like I feel

676
00:51:09.719 --> 00:51:15.719
like certain psychedelics induce that feeling.
What do you what feeling? Oh,

677
00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:20.960
that you're like visiting on some other
life that you're literally just playing a game

678
00:51:21.119 --> 00:51:28.880
in a like you are God experiencing
this and that someday you take the headset

679
00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:32.320
off, well that's like take a
break from gaming, right, right,

680
00:51:32.840 --> 00:51:37.119
right, and you get to go
like, let me take a break,

681
00:51:37.800 --> 00:51:40.920
yeah, and sleep. Then the
universe ends, right, that's the story.

682
00:51:40.960 --> 00:51:45.559
When Brahma wakes up from the dream, it all ceases to exist.

683
00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:51.639
But but something exists because you woke
up from the dream. I don't know,

684
00:51:51.800 --> 00:51:53.559
am I reading into that too?
But I mean a dream doesn't exist

685
00:51:53.639 --> 00:51:58.679
once you wake up from it,
it's gone. It existed in some form.

686
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:02.519
This is true, then it still
exists, right, so you just

687
00:52:02.559 --> 00:52:07.719
go from one to another. Right, you were just accessing it, right,

688
00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:14.360
But the question, boys, the
freaking questions, I wonder, like,

689
00:52:14.840 --> 00:52:16.599
here's how I see it with the
current technology that we have in games.

690
00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:20.559
It's just a bunch of really sexy
ones and zeros. Oh yeah,

691
00:52:20.599 --> 00:52:22.800
you know what I mean, It's
just a bunch of commands saying do this.

692
00:52:22.960 --> 00:52:28.119
Like I feel like, because of
the nature of bugs and the limitations

693
00:52:28.119 --> 00:52:31.079
of technology that we have today,
I don't know that I would go so

694
00:52:31.119 --> 00:52:34.679
far as to say that games are
like a channeled experience. I mean,

695
00:52:34.719 --> 00:52:38.559
it's just a bunch of input commands. Well okay, but let's look a

696
00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:44.119
little bit deeper with it though.
Yes, they are just like commands and

697
00:52:44.159 --> 00:52:49.639
ones and zeros, But it is
still video games are still in art form

698
00:52:50.039 --> 00:52:55.559
for sure, and often they have
a story. And so here's my thought.

699
00:52:55.679 --> 00:53:00.320
You're playing Zelda Okerana of Time and
you're just woo whatever, but like

700
00:53:01.239 --> 00:53:07.400
that idea like struck someone the power
of the story, Yeah, the archetypal

701
00:53:07.599 --> 00:53:12.719
expression on the mind. Yeah,
that's good. That story, the story

702
00:53:12.840 --> 00:53:16.679
of Zelda, the the like god
of war. Yeah yeah, I mean

703
00:53:16.719 --> 00:53:22.880
the way it hits you. They
are channeling these archetypal concepts like from the

704
00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:27.079
divine, like there are you know, it's we talk about it with movies

705
00:53:27.119 --> 00:53:30.119
and video games and TV shows,
and we love to do that on this

706
00:53:30.199 --> 00:53:37.440
show, how like divine inspiration of
these like core truths of the universe like

707
00:53:37.519 --> 00:53:42.280
come through people in the form of
art, in the form of different stories

708
00:53:42.360 --> 00:53:46.440
and whatever. So in a way, it's like maybe maybe in some abstract

709
00:53:46.480 --> 00:53:52.800
way, it is like a form
of channeling to like bring that archetypal concept

710
00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:59.119
into this realm in the form of
a video game. Yeah. I didn't

711
00:53:59.119 --> 00:54:01.440
really think about it that way,
but that does make sense. But what

712
00:54:01.480 --> 00:54:05.519
I was going to say was,
I feel like as the technology increases and

713
00:54:05.559 --> 00:54:07.679
it removes that barrier of like,
oh, this is just a game,

714
00:54:08.079 --> 00:54:12.880
because eventually we're going to hit a
point. Dude, I saw video yesterday

715
00:54:12.920 --> 00:54:15.519
and it blew my mind. Like
we all know they've been working on neuralink

716
00:54:15.559 --> 00:54:16.599
forever. Yeah, and no,
Alex, I'm not trying to get into

717
00:54:16.599 --> 00:54:21.440
a conspiracy conversation about neuralink. I'm
just talking about it. I'm tired.

718
00:54:25.239 --> 00:54:28.880
I'm not trying to say it's good
or it's bad. That's not what I'm

719
00:54:28.880 --> 00:54:31.519
doing here. I'm just objectively telling
the video I saw, and the video

720
00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:36.199
I saw was the first guy who
had neuralink implanted you saw it, yes,

721
00:54:36.280 --> 00:54:37.760
dude, He's like he's I don't
know what his condition was. I

722
00:54:37.840 --> 00:54:40.239
just saw a clip. But he's
paralyzed, right, He's like, I

723
00:54:40.280 --> 00:54:45.679
think he was a paraplegic. Yeah, he can't even work, yeah,

724
00:54:45.719 --> 00:54:52.280
literally, And they gave him neuralink
and they were unleashing the the functions in

725
00:54:52.360 --> 00:54:58.480
stages to try to not overload his
brain. And the video I saw he

726
00:54:58.679 --> 00:55:05.760
was playing SIV and Mario Kart with
his mind. Now I'm like, okay,

727
00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:09.079
is this just a game anymore?
You know, there's there's there's no

728
00:55:10.360 --> 00:55:16.000
barrier between like I'm holding a controller, I'm playing the game and it's doing

729
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:20.800
something like Okay, there's still a
barrier because based on the current form of

730
00:55:20.800 --> 00:55:24.079
the technology, he has to think
the commands right because of the way video

731
00:55:24.119 --> 00:55:29.039
games are. But I just I
feel like in the far future there's gonna

732
00:55:29.039 --> 00:55:34.679
be some some like incredible version of
a neurallink that's not used for evil purposes,

733
00:55:35.199 --> 00:55:37.440
because we I mean, come on, like, we know the world

734
00:55:37.559 --> 00:55:39.639
is never gonna end. It's just
like all the ancient stories, just like

735
00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:44.559
the Lady and the Beings, the
world's not gonna end. What's gonna happen

736
00:55:44.679 --> 00:55:47.280
is the darkness of the world,
the the power of the corruption. They're

737
00:55:47.320 --> 00:55:52.400
gonna be rooted out over time,
They're gonna it's gonna this is my understanding

738
00:55:52.480 --> 00:55:54.920
of the New Age, right,
and eventually we will live in a peaceful

739
00:55:54.960 --> 00:55:59.920
world where technology is used for good
purposes to benefit humanity. I could tell

740
00:56:00.760 --> 00:56:05.239
there being some really good neural interface
type technology that really does benefit us where

741
00:56:05.320 --> 00:56:07.960
dude, we're like we are the
game, you know what I mean.

742
00:56:07.559 --> 00:56:12.320
Then it's like, Okay, channel
experience, brother, you know, I

743
00:56:12.480 --> 00:56:16.039
just have to say, everything that
you just described is Star Trek. Really,

744
00:56:16.119 --> 00:56:20.719
that is the story of Stars Trek. Like humanity reached a point to

745
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:25.199
where like they ended all war like
ended, they became one united unit.

746
00:56:25.280 --> 00:56:30.199
Like but it's good, and it's
all good, and all technological advancement is

747
00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:35.679
only for the good of humanity.
They did away with like weapons and and

748
00:56:35.719 --> 00:56:39.760
like everything. It's it's all it's
it's all in the name of like exploration

749
00:56:40.079 --> 00:56:47.679
and like furthering the evolution of like
humans and human consciousness and their understanding of

750
00:56:47.719 --> 00:56:52.440
the universe. It's like a utopia. It's I feel like that's where we're

751
00:56:52.440 --> 00:56:54.599
headed and not Star Trek, but
that concept, right, And they have

752
00:56:54.719 --> 00:57:00.559
technology where they step into a room
and their thoughts just manifest around them.

753
00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.360
It's it's called the uh, oh
god, don't put me in there on

754
00:57:04.519 --> 00:57:07.800
or something. You walk into the
room and literally like you're holocrons the Jedi

755
00:57:07.880 --> 00:57:12.400
stuff. Oh right, yeah,
I forget what it's called, right right,

756
00:57:12.480 --> 00:57:14.719
right, yeah, but yeah,
you go into this room and it's

757
00:57:14.760 --> 00:57:19.440
literally just like you could just imagine
your your surrounding environment. You know.

758
00:57:19.880 --> 00:57:24.480
All I want to say is when
YouTube started, it was pretty awesome,

759
00:57:25.079 --> 00:57:29.360
that's true, And now you got
to watch forty ads? What did I

760
00:57:29.559 --> 00:57:36.519
just say? What did I just
say that we're the lady the ancient spiritual?

761
00:57:36.559 --> 00:57:39.599
I just don't want ads in my
dreams. You're a doomer. You're

762
00:57:39.639 --> 00:57:44.679
being doomy because you're you're anticipating that
that will go on forever. But it

763
00:57:44.760 --> 00:57:46.679
won't. There's going to be a
future. Well, all this greed and

764
00:57:46.719 --> 00:57:51.440
corruption is gone. Okay, No, let's play this. Let's and I'm

765
00:57:51.480 --> 00:57:53.400
not getting in an argument with you. I'm not either, but at some

766
00:57:53.519 --> 00:58:01.960
point I'm teaching you prosthetic Uh.
Technology is going to surpass what we are

767
00:58:02.039 --> 00:58:07.960
given organically. Now we're in cyberpunk. Great. No, So essentially,

768
00:58:07.960 --> 00:58:12.079
if you have enough money to buy
stronger limbs, you become a stronger person.

769
00:58:12.159 --> 00:58:15.880
Yeah, that's cyberpunk. Cyberpunk literally, you know. But then someone

770
00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:20.519
puts a back door in all of
it and can shut it all downs in

771
00:58:20.599 --> 00:58:24.360
your dreams. Yeah, then the
then the cyber police gets them. No,

772
00:58:24.400 --> 00:58:29.440
I'm just messing around, but yeah, I mean sure, I just

773
00:58:30.400 --> 00:58:34.960
I don't know. I don't think
that we should run from technology, but

774
00:58:35.119 --> 00:58:40.559
I think we should. I think
that the technology has in some level replaced

775
00:58:40.559 --> 00:58:44.880
the connection with God, for sure, and that the connection with God needs

776
00:58:44.920 --> 00:58:50.920
to be re established for us and
for us to properly use technology as a

777
00:58:50.960 --> 00:58:55.599
species, so that the idea of
wanting to put ads in people's dreams does

778
00:58:55.679 --> 00:59:02.559
not become the model. Like,
yeah, that doesn't become the norm,

779
00:59:02.599 --> 00:59:07.280
it doesn't become how can I exploit
more people for more money? Right?

780
00:59:07.519 --> 00:59:10.000
So, which is so we got
to do away with greed right all,

781
00:59:10.119 --> 00:59:15.760
Like I'm talking big corporations and all
that, those models of existence. It's

782
00:59:15.840 --> 00:59:20.079
a tough that's a tough I mean
without getting into an economic discussion. Yes,

783
00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:28.519
and purely a purely a like betterment
of the world discussion for philosophical discussion.

784
00:59:28.679 --> 00:59:31.360
I agree with you. Yeah,
I'm just talking purely theoretical. I'm

785
00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:35.360
not saying this is actually going to
happen. Yeah, it's also interesting that,

786
00:59:35.480 --> 00:59:37.519
like I don't know if you if
you guys did this, but one

787
00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:46.639
year of my uh government schooling,
the literature class was purely focused on Utopia.

788
00:59:47.079 --> 00:59:52.159
Nice, and I had to read
multiple Utopia books that all end up

789
00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:58.320
non dystopian. They all end up
all of them like you can basically more

790
00:59:58.639 --> 01:00:02.000
thanks for coming to seventh grade into
utopia is impossible to go to eighth You

791
01:00:02.000 --> 01:00:06.480
know what is another thought that would
lead to that is because it's like,

792
01:00:07.920 --> 01:00:12.760
yeah, I mean there is it's
duality, right, Like there is negativity

793
01:00:14.280 --> 01:00:19.679
inherently existent within the human condition.
So even if we had a utopia,

794
01:00:19.760 --> 01:00:22.159
dude, there'd still be bad people
out there doing shit, you know what

795
01:00:22.199 --> 01:00:25.880
I mean, like Star trek Es, right, So yeah, I mean,

796
01:00:31.559 --> 01:00:35.400
I mean that's also just because we're
here to experience life, right,

797
01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:39.400
Like not writing off bad things.
I'm not saying I'm not condoning bad things,

798
01:00:40.480 --> 01:00:46.559
but you're condemning them. I'm I
am condemning bad things. What about

799
01:00:46.559 --> 01:00:58.880
sacrifice human We've already covered that,
condemning it all right, there's nothing for

800
01:00:58.960 --> 01:01:01.719
me to say any more. Yeah, I just want to say, Look,

801
01:01:01.800 --> 01:01:05.480
we don't know the future, We
really don't. All I do know,

802
01:01:05.559 --> 01:01:08.159
in my heart of hearts is that
there's there's good ahead for humanity.

803
01:01:08.239 --> 01:01:12.559
I really believe it. And you
know what, I'd rather believe that than

804
01:01:12.599 --> 01:01:15.559
all the negative shit I'm being told
I'm supposed to believe. Man Ain't that

805
01:01:15.559 --> 01:01:22.280
that damn truth? Right? Yes? Like, if nothing else compels you

806
01:01:22.840 --> 01:01:30.400
to think positively is better than thinking
negatively? Exactly what do you have to

807
01:01:30.440 --> 01:01:34.159
lose? Why do you have to
lose? Yes, it's like just because

808
01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:38.559
you're manifesting everything, don't manifest negative
things exactly. Yeah, But I'm saying

809
01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:42.480
if you break it all down to
its simplest form, even if you do

810
01:01:42.599 --> 01:01:45.079
away with the manifestation thing, like, just think about yourself. Do that

811
01:01:45.400 --> 01:01:52.400
obviously hypothetically I'm joking, but like, think about yourself going through your day.

812
01:01:52.519 --> 01:01:55.320
Wouldn't it just be so much better
if you just were just like thinking

813
01:01:55.400 --> 01:02:00.199
good thoughts and like being kind and
you know, I have a hope for

814
01:02:00.239 --> 01:02:04.360
the future and not worried about it
all the time. Yeah, Yeah,

815
01:02:04.679 --> 01:02:08.880
if nothing else like that is way
better than ruminating on the negative things,

816
01:02:08.960 --> 01:02:14.199
or being being scared or because that
leads to wanting to wake up in the

817
01:02:14.199 --> 01:02:17.800
morning and wanting to continue. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, yeah,

818
01:02:17.880 --> 01:02:22.800
it's very true, and it's worth
continuing, and it compounds. It's exponential

819
01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:30.599
if you're thinking positive even like about
the future, versus thinking negatively about the

820
01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:37.079
future, which what do we call
that worry? Yes, or fear general

821
01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:40.199
anxiety, oh yeah, or fear. If you're thinking positively, you're more

822
01:02:40.239 --> 01:02:46.159
present, absolutely, absolutely, period. Like look, just you know,

823
01:02:46.239 --> 01:02:50.559
and if that's hard for some people, because you know, everybody's different,

824
01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:53.280
it is. It's hard for some
people to just do that, just like

825
01:02:53.599 --> 01:02:58.320
every day, just make it a
habit to just look around and notice the

826
01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:02.480
things that like make you happy,
like the leaves. It takes write one

827
01:03:02.519 --> 01:03:07.639
of them down and then the next
day right too down. It takes faith

828
01:03:07.679 --> 01:03:10.800
in the goodness of the universe.
Absolutely, it does. A lot of

829
01:03:10.840 --> 01:03:15.559
people don't have enough faith in that. Yeah, but start small. If

830
01:03:15.559 --> 01:03:16.840
it's hard for you to start small, and if you don't think it's there,

831
01:03:17.400 --> 01:03:22.199
be it become it. This is
how our full disclosures have been going.

832
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:27.079
And then last week I yelled into
the microphone, did you yeah,

833
01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:34.639
get an effort to hype people up. Yeah, ah, no, no,

834
01:03:34.760 --> 01:03:37.679
it was like I don't remember exactly
what he said, but it was

835
01:03:37.679 --> 01:03:43.679
of the line of it was on
the line of like, seize the day.

836
01:03:43.840 --> 01:03:46.280
Man. If you've been thinking about
doing something, do it. Oh

837
01:03:46.320 --> 01:03:50.039
yeah, this is your sign,
dude, you've been looking for a sign,

838
01:03:50.159 --> 01:03:57.199
do it. Ah, that's awesome, that's good, that's a that's

839
01:03:57.239 --> 01:04:00.320
a great place to in the episode. I mean, it's just it's a

840
01:04:00.360 --> 01:04:02.679
definition question, man, Like,
if you go to the end, is

841
01:04:02.719 --> 01:04:10.079
it really the beginning? That means
you're gonna start the next episode? Yeah,

842
01:04:10.199 --> 01:04:13.239
next week, next week. Alright, guys, bye, guys.

843
01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:23.800
Weird things happen in the backyard of
lets O house. Shit O, look

844
01:04:23.920 --> 01:04:36.760
up. It's so weird, kind
of closer to heart, like smiring on

845
01:04:36.840 --> 01:04:47.599
the inside of it. No one
knows. Wow, it's come right over

846
01:04:47.760 --> 01:05:06.440
now. He sided not having a
happines
