Everybody, this 6 00:00:56.880 --> 00:01:02.039 is one of my best buds in the world. He was the first roommate 7 00:01:02.079 --> 00:01:04.519 I ever had, first person I ever lived with, one of the first 8 00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:07.519 people you met in college, one of the first people I met in college. 9 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.920 We hated each other at first. Yeah, I want to talk about 10 00:01:11.920 --> 00:01:15.640 that. And he was also my best man at my wedding. This is 11 00:01:15.680 --> 00:01:22.120 this This guy is very important. And if you follow the socials, you 12 00:01:22.159 --> 00:01:26.920 saw him ripping the Merge modeling. Yeah, he's our merch model. So 13 00:01:27.040 --> 00:01:33.599 yeah, this is my dude, Angel, and show off the tat you 14 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:44.480 can kind of catch it. The Blue Spirit dude, and there it is. 15 00:01:44.599 --> 00:01:49.560 I mean, that's sick. Look, if we we've honestly we've mentioned 16 00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.239 a couple of times in the past doing an episode about Avatar, we have 17 00:01:53.400 --> 00:01:55.640 you know, what's funny too. In the last few weeks, we've, 18 00:01:55.840 --> 00:02:00.200 like in our Discord and in our Patreon, we've gotten several requests to do 19 00:02:00.239 --> 00:02:02.799 an Avatar episode and we didn't reveal it and they didn't know that we had 20 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:07.560 already planned this for months. Yeah, it's crazy, but even like like 21 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:12.319 many many episodes ago, we've mentioned it in passing yeah, and like if 22 00:02:12.360 --> 00:02:16.319 we were ever to do an Avatar episode like this is the guy you know 23 00:02:16.479 --> 00:02:23.199 like this, But in in talking about all this, we also unveiled our 24 00:02:23.319 --> 00:02:29.840 very own producer, Alex is also a massive, massive Avatar fan. You've 25 00:02:29.879 --> 00:02:34.120 watched it how many times? Now? I'm currently I was really trying to 26 00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:38.680 be done with my fourth watch through for this episode. Fourth yeah, and 27 00:02:38.759 --> 00:02:43.919 first time with my fiance. Oh yeah, she's watching it. Yeah. 28 00:02:44.000 --> 00:02:47.599 I've watched so like once when I was really really young, and then twice 29 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:52.080 since then since it's been on Netflix, and then this will be fourth. 30 00:02:52.520 --> 00:02:54.960 I don't think I've ever watched a show four times through. Really, A 31 00:02:55.039 --> 00:03:00.319 movie's one thing, A show that's that's that's a lot. Yeah, we 32 00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:02.800 were just talking out there that I've seen it's always sunny at least ten times. 33 00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:07.520 I mean Avatar The Office. Oh no, dude, The Office I've 34 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.879 watched like twice and that's the most I've watched. No way a show all 35 00:03:10.879 --> 00:03:15.879 the way through. Well what about I think you should leave. Yeah, 36 00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:20.280 but that's small. Yeah, that's small. Those are like fifty hours tops. 37 00:03:20.280 --> 00:03:23.319 And don't think I think Avatar is small too, it's sixty plus. 38 00:03:23.479 --> 00:03:27.280 I think it's pretty I mean, yeah, it's only three and three seasons 39 00:03:27.280 --> 00:03:29.719 technically, right, Wait, how many episodes is it per season? I 40 00:03:29.759 --> 00:03:32.199 forget it's like what ten to eighteen? I would say, yeah, maybe 41 00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.080 some reach twenty. I think the first maybe reach twenty maybe. Okay, 42 00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:42.400 So it's like relatively it's not super short, but it's definitely not like long. 43 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.240 It's pretty dense too, I mean, I mean, yeah, that's 44 00:03:45.240 --> 00:03:49.000 true. Yeah, I feel like it got the the Game of Thrones treatment, 45 00:03:49.319 --> 00:03:55.000 where the first two chapters are very like thought out and paced, like 46 00:03:55.080 --> 00:03:59.479 they're running a marathon, and then the last chapter I feel like, is 47 00:04:00.360 --> 00:04:03.759 rushed. Are you think so? I think so? But it also might 48 00:04:03.919 --> 00:04:09.479 be part of the storyline, like you have all of the what's it called 49 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:14.639 the astrological events happening, so it's like they're in a hurry. So they're 50 00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:16.199 like more of a hurry, more of a hurry. So's it may be 51 00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.600 done artistically, but it feels to me like I get to the end of 52 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:24.839 Avatar and I'm like, I really wish there was like a little seven more 53 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.160 episodes. Hey, can I cut in here? Guys? Yes, I 54 00:04:27.240 --> 00:04:29.560 just I have to say I went ahead and googled it. There are sixty 55 00:04:29.560 --> 00:04:32.040 one episodes. Seven of those are Part one in part two, so technically 56 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:34.959 there's fifty four full episodes. You guys said it's rushed at the end. 57 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:39.920 Season one and two had twenty season three had twenty one. Ah, so 58 00:04:39.959 --> 00:04:43.720 actually the third season was longer. Wow. So it's weird how it feels 59 00:04:43.759 --> 00:04:46.160 that way to me. But if i'm if I'm not, it does feel 60 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.160 that way. Yeah, No, if I'm not mistaken. Didn't they originally 61 00:04:48.240 --> 00:04:51.920 plan on four? Yeah? They did? Really? I mean yeah, 62 00:04:51.959 --> 00:04:55.040 I think they were, like, looking what, I think it was supposed 63 00:04:55.040 --> 00:04:57.959 to be like Air that we're gonna do all four elements were supposed to do. 64 00:04:58.040 --> 00:05:00.240 So I mean I think they were, but I mean think narratively doesn't 65 00:05:00.240 --> 00:05:03.920 make it that's true, right, because they couldn't really do a book of 66 00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:10.519 Air being mastered are and also there's no no, yeah, they're all they're 67 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.199 gone. They're gone, well gone, they don't die. I forget. 68 00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.240 Yeah, yeah, wiped out. But is the is the so fast forwarding 69 00:05:18.279 --> 00:05:24.160 a little bit here is the Guru Airbender? Or is he just never mentioned 70 00:05:24.279 --> 00:05:27.399 I don't think everybody does know he never mentions it. But it's also I 71 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:31.319 think it's funny because it's like the first two first couple episodes, it's like 72 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:36.279 we're making a children's show and then it gets and then they get like funding 73 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:40.600 and it gets serious and they're like, oh, we're gonna cut you deep. 74 00:05:40.800 --> 00:05:44.079 Yeah okay, and gets startled very quickly. He gets what startled? 75 00:05:44.160 --> 00:05:46.399 Very quick? Oh he gets thrown off? Yeah. What I want to 76 00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.360 Okay, what I want to know is so we all watch it as kids, 77 00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:55.839 right? Yeah? Yeah? Every week? Yeah, like Fridays or 78 00:05:55.839 --> 00:05:58.680 something. I think Thursdays or Fridays would come on? What what? So? 79 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:01.839 What about it like grabbed you from the start? I know the things 80 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:04.959 for me, but I'm curious if it was the same or you know, 81 00:06:05.639 --> 00:06:12.560 honestly, so I was a pretty sheltered kid growing up, right, I'd 82 00:06:12.560 --> 00:06:16.279 have very similar backgrounds, like like you, all of us religion and being 83 00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:20.120 kind of our identity was kind of part of that, right, and it 84 00:06:20.160 --> 00:06:25.759 wasn't It was really hard to branch out of that, that that religion type 85 00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:28.600 of thinking, right. I remember, like I remember growing up, like 86 00:06:28.639 --> 00:06:31.759 trying to listen to Lincoln Park and stuff like that and my dad freaking out 87 00:06:32.040 --> 00:06:35.279 immediately about it because he thinks it's you know, it's evil, it's bad, 88 00:06:35.360 --> 00:06:39.759 and things like that. So with Avatar, it was nice to be 89 00:06:39.800 --> 00:06:44.040 able to be introduced to a lot of other ways of thinking, a lot 90 00:06:44.040 --> 00:06:46.319 of other like religious ways of thinking that I didn't even know existed at the 91 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.439 time, because it was just I was so narrow minded. And the fact 92 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.759 that it was wrapped up in a cartoon was the way that made it super 93 00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.639 accessible. And like, you know, my parents could turn a blind eye 94 00:06:57.639 --> 00:06:59.959 to it because it's a cartoon, right, you know, they don't have 95 00:07:00.079 --> 00:07:01.120 to think too much and go, oh, well, he's probably watching this 96 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.839 that and the third Oh it's a cartoon, it's innocent. But I was 97 00:07:03.920 --> 00:07:06.920 learning a lot out of that show Man. That show teaches you so much, 98 00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.079 I feel like totally fully by the way like that was. It was 99 00:07:13.079 --> 00:07:16.120 actually the same thing for me and I wasn't expecting that to be like your 100 00:07:16.160 --> 00:07:19.759 answer. Honestly, I wasn't. Like when you think of Avatar, you 101 00:07:19.759 --> 00:07:25.240 think like cool elements and martial arts and stuff like that. That's what me 102 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.879 right, Yeah, So, which is like obviously such a cool, fucking 103 00:07:29.879 --> 00:07:32.319 cool part of the show. But the first thing that grabbed me is what 104 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.160 Angel is saying. I was like, it's like I'd never seen anything like 105 00:07:36.240 --> 00:07:44.959 that, Eastern like religious like spirituality type stuff, and like I remember feeling 106 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:48.560 inside of me like this is real. I don't I don't even know how 107 00:07:48.560 --> 00:07:51.439 to explain it. I was just like this, this what they're talking about 108 00:07:51.519 --> 00:07:55.160 is real. Yeah. Yeah, I didn't even question it. And you 109 00:07:55.160 --> 00:07:57.720 know, maybe that's just being a kid or I don't know, but I 110 00:07:57.800 --> 00:08:01.040 don't know. It just it gave you, like it's marked your imagination to 111 00:08:01.240 --> 00:08:05.959 like crazy, Oh totally. I wanted to be aang so bad. Oh 112 00:08:07.000 --> 00:08:09.040 yeah yeah. I think all of us would be the Avatar, bro. 113 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:16.399 I think that's what life is about. It's like embodying the Avatar Christ consciousness, 114 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:20.160 Krishna consciousness. Yes, we're gonna get into all of the like we're 115 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.399 gonna just gush for a while, but then we're gonna like hone in and 116 00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:30.879 talk about, like break down the real stuff that they're saying in the show, 117 00:08:31.439 --> 00:08:35.440 Like you picked up on that's crazy we as because you were probably how 118 00:08:35.480 --> 00:08:37.799 old when you watched it? Gosh, man, dude, I feel like 119 00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.720 maybe eleven? Yeah, yeah, I was. I was like around that 120 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:43.840 age, dude, and like life was very small, you know. And 121 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:52.039 even then you subconsciously picked up on the spiritual aspect of the show, even 122 00:08:52.080 --> 00:08:56.039 though you didn't things were supposed to perceive as evil, like aren't that's aren't 123 00:08:56.559 --> 00:09:01.039 you know what I'm saying, dude, And so the fact that that resonates 124 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:05.120 with us even as children who have no concept. We didn't we didn't even 125 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.600 know what Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, none of that stuff was. But 126 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:15.879 it resonated still and now as adults now we can say we can go back 127 00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.840 and say, like, Okay, why did I feel that and what does 128 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.200 it actually mean? Okay, Alex, what grabbed you as a kid? 129 00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:24.799 Well, so, and now that I'm thinking about it, I think I 130 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:28.960 was a little bit younger than you guys. So I think I was probably 131 00:09:28.240 --> 00:09:33.320 seven or eight years old when I first started getting exposed to it on Nickelodeon. 132 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:39.080 The Fights and Zuko is what grabbed me immediately, and I just always 133 00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:46.240 felt myself drawn to Zuko. But it's crazy that you mentioned this, because 134 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:50.480 I had the same feelings of there is truth in here, Like I was 135 00:09:50.480 --> 00:09:54.159 smart enough as a seven eight year old to know I'm not gonna bend water 136 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:58.720 of course, right there is like I can feel that there is some truth 137 00:09:58.759 --> 00:10:07.639 to the and it may have been more of a fantasization of it, but 138 00:10:07.759 --> 00:10:11.919 I really think it was more like just this just a subconscious knowing that they're 139 00:10:11.960 --> 00:10:18.840 onto something and they're trying to portray something without ever being exposed to any of 140 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:22.399 those major religions or religious themes. It's very interesting that we're all kind of 141 00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:28.399 on the same page here, and that's really what that is what contributed to 142 00:10:28.480 --> 00:10:35.679 the hardcore nostalgia that brought me back over and over and I still find myself 143 00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:39.720 feeling that same way that I did as a child watching it, feeling, 144 00:10:41.120 --> 00:10:45.519 you know, feeling the emotions. And I feel there's very few shows that 145 00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:50.000 get me and my emotions because you've watched very few shows. That's true, 146 00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.559 because I just have an emotional connection to the show. Right, And I 147 00:10:54.600 --> 00:10:58.279 think that's that's what it like, like when you go through the whole lost 148 00:10:58.279 --> 00:11:03.200 Opa, which will get anybody, but even like when he goes back to 149 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:09.000 the Air Temple and there's nobody there. Every time that that that he goes 150 00:11:09.039 --> 00:11:13.080 into the Avatar state and it's all emotionally charged, I'm like, oh my 151 00:11:13.159 --> 00:11:20.159 god. And like you think about its themes, right, Like you've got 152 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:26.840 like Sokka and Katar and a fatherhood theme and and like a difficult fatherhood of 153 00:11:26.879 --> 00:11:28.480 that. Yeah, I mean I have a couple of things written down, 154 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:31.399 but I don't. I don't want to jump again here. I kind of 155 00:11:31.440 --> 00:11:33.240 want to. I don't know how you guys want to move through this. 156 00:11:33.320 --> 00:11:35.759 Oh no, no, there's no script. We can move however, let's 157 00:11:35.759 --> 00:11:41.279 see, hey real quick, what was homegirl's name that that Sokka had a 158 00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:45.679 little thing with? Well, which one the moon yeah or not not your 159 00:11:46.360 --> 00:11:50.399 I thought it was Moon Bay. Yeah. But also but he also had 160 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:56.840 a thing for the Kyoshi Warrior heard Suki? Wait he does? He does 161 00:11:58.039 --> 00:12:01.840 because they find each other later, like he breaks out of prison and yeah, 162 00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:03.919 okay, they come back together like several episodes. I just watched the 163 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:07.360 episode so it's super fresh in my Okay, wait, so when she when 164 00:12:07.480 --> 00:12:16.879 when she when they get their clothes taken by uh by uh the crazy girl. 165 00:12:16.360 --> 00:12:20.960 H Yeah, Azula takes their clothes and then you think they're dead. 166 00:12:20.080 --> 00:12:22.360 Yep, they're not dead. Nope. And then Aula comes in and like 167 00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:26.000 does the whole sneaky, sneaky sneak thing. I was just gonna say, 168 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:33.039 Soccer pulls the BDS bro he does the bad dames speak of an emotional connection. 169 00:12:33.120 --> 00:12:35.720 I just had to show this man. This is my first devil ever, 170 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.559 my first evil, my first ever possession from when I was about two 171 00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:43.720 years old. This is the turtle Raphael. I thought you were going to 172 00:12:43.799 --> 00:12:46.159 relate that somehow to Avatar. Oh no, he just was talking about how 173 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:50.240 he had an emotional conne I didn't want to interrupt him. I've been holding 174 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:54.879 this up for about three minutes. But I understand that emotional connection. No, 175 00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:56.399 I mean, of course I do too. There there are things My 176 00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:01.120 favorite turtle as well. Refel was my favorite because he's just angry and like 177 00:13:01.519 --> 00:13:05.440 you know, he has a defensive defensive weapon and stuff like that. Yeah, 178 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:09.919 it's crazy. He's such a cool character. Well, who's your favorite 179 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:15.039 turtle. I don't know, I don't know. You don't know. Alex 180 00:13:15.080 --> 00:13:18.080 don't rock with it was always a mighty guy. I don't with the turtles. 181 00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:22.000 But you know what, you know what though, Raf is kind of 182 00:13:22.519 --> 00:13:26.759 like exactly, He's like exactly, That's what I was gonna say. That's 183 00:13:26.759 --> 00:13:30.200 it's the same arc type, which, by the way, is usually the 184 00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:37.480 arc type that I gravitate towards and I relate with, like is my you 185 00:13:37.480 --> 00:13:41.639 know what I'm saying, Like it's always like Vegeta is my guy. Like 186 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:46.120 Zuko, his whole arc is like my one of my favorite things. Sony 187 00:13:46.279 --> 00:13:48.799 is kind of that guy too, Like if you think out of the box, 188 00:13:50.440 --> 00:13:52.639 Well, yeah, I was just thinking as Sonjy because like I mean 189 00:13:52.639 --> 00:13:56.039 that that arc type isn't very clear. I feel like in the one Piece 190 00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:58.279 group, you know, but if I had to think about it, it 191 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.639 would be either Zoro or Sondry. I feel like, Soanji is a little 192 00:14:01.679 --> 00:14:05.720 bit like, well, I know some unfortunate and I will not spoil it 193 00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.399 at all, but I unfortunately know some spoilers that kind of confirmed like yeah, 194 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.320 like he he is very much. He's just a little more hard headed. 195 00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.799 H he's hard headed, and he's kind of like crass, a little 196 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:20.320 tougher to get along with, hard edged. Yeah, yeah, it's it's 197 00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:26.519 but I guess the archetype that I'm talking about is I'm just particularly I gravitate 198 00:14:26.559 --> 00:14:31.919 towards like someone who was not born good and they have to find it. 199 00:14:33.960 --> 00:14:37.879 Yeah, oh yeah. Darth Vader was kind of the opposite of that. 200 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:39.919 But then it turns into that afterwards. You know what I'm saying. I 201 00:14:39.919 --> 00:14:46.360 feel like Iro embodies that. Okay, I was always good though, he 202 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.879 always good, but he was he was bad. But that's he was about 203 00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.559 to break into bossing. Say, yeah, but that was like his job, 204 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:56.240 you know what I mean, that was his role. But I believe 205 00:14:56.320 --> 00:15:01.120 the person I row was above all that eventually from eventually, but he may 206 00:15:01.200 --> 00:15:03.080 have to make those mistakes first sure, to lose his son, Yeah, 207 00:15:03.200 --> 00:15:05.279 I think that was the big catalyst for it, for sure. And he 208 00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.240 goes and you know, he loses his son, and he's like, holy 209 00:15:09.360 --> 00:15:13.879 crap, I've been causing everyone in this world to lose their sons, right, 210 00:15:15.519 --> 00:15:18.240 this is how everybody feels in my wake. You know, I need 211 00:15:18.240 --> 00:15:24.840 to be better than this Iron That's all unspoken. Iro is definitely the Yoda 212 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:28.279 of Avatar Bros. He's on that level line, dude, I'm at the 213 00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:37.519 part right now where he's getting swollen. That honestly the best part. Like 214 00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.320 yeah, and then when Zuma comes to everybody's beat up and knocked out. 215 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:45.039 Okay, I'm so scared. I was so scared. He was so terrified. 216 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:50.639 Yeah, well that's that's true. That's another example Tracking of the West, 217 00:15:50.080 --> 00:15:56.000 someone who was like bad and like found inner peace and like found redemption, 218 00:15:56.200 --> 00:16:00.240 like Krados in these New God of War games, like he was like 219 00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:04.559 literally the destroyer of the entire uh Greek pantheon, Like he's a destroyer, 220 00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:10.039 and then that whole thing. Zuko Zuko is a perfect example. Best. 221 00:16:10.320 --> 00:16:12.759 I love his care so much. What season did he? Like did the 222 00:16:12.799 --> 00:16:18.279 blue Spirit stuff happen towards the end of one? I think? What? 223 00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.480 So? You you very early on you get this. There's this establishment that 224 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:26.240 like they need each other, right, and and you could look at it 225 00:16:26.320 --> 00:16:30.720 like, yeah, you need Zuko needs Aang to restore his honor, But 226 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:37.120 it's deeper than that A needs Zuko. And isn't that just brilliant? How 227 00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.519 Zuko ends up being the one who teaches a fireman has to finish like it's 228 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:45.440 it's it's really, it's just dynamic, beautiful. It's beautiful. And like 229 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.039 I think the thing that gets me the most in the whole show, like 230 00:16:48.120 --> 00:16:52.360 if I just very quickly have a mental picture of like something that I'm like 231 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:56.360 emotionally impacted me in Avatar, it's the part and I think it's the finale 232 00:16:56.399 --> 00:17:00.480 of season two. It's it's the time when Zuko doesn't he like hit Ang 233 00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:03.960 with lightning and he like mortally wounds him. Basically that's Aula does that. 234 00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:07.240 I think, well, yeah, but but I thought it was it was 235 00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:11.440 it was Zuko was the reason it happened because he ends up betraying like guitar, 236 00:17:11.799 --> 00:17:12.960 yeah, a bunch of other things. Yeah, they're like in a 237 00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:17.920 cave, right yeah yeah. And then like Iro just freaking snaps at Zuko 238 00:17:17.960 --> 00:17:21.720 and he's basically like what the hell is wrong? You know, he goes 239 00:17:21.799 --> 00:17:25.160 nuts on him, and like you see in that moment, sure Ira has 240 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:29.039 been escorting Zuko, he's been kind of like helping him fulfill his mission. 241 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:33.839 But that's the moment where you see that he made the negative, dark choice 242 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.839 and almost kills Aang, and IRA's like, what the hell, dude, 243 00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:40.440 Like this is wrong? You know that got me? Not almost like he 244 00:17:40.559 --> 00:17:45.079 kills him. Basically he kills me if it wasn't for yeah, yeah, 245 00:17:45.119 --> 00:17:48.680 And it was the reaction in that moment. How how Iro like he's supposed 246 00:17:48.680 --> 00:17:52.599 to be a bad guy too, you know, but how he's like kind 247 00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.400 of didn't want it to really happen that. I feel like that's when the 248 00:17:55.400 --> 00:17:57.839 show really turns upside down for me, you know, because he loses the 249 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:03.160 Advatar state right after that. He lose right after that because of his fear 250 00:18:03.279 --> 00:18:08.039 because he was a killed in the Avatars. Why do you think it is 251 00:18:08.160 --> 00:18:12.640 that even though Ira, this is something I've thought about, Like, even 252 00:18:12.680 --> 00:18:18.519 though Iro is fire Nation and he's done all these bad things, Like why 253 00:18:18.519 --> 00:18:22.960 do you think he even wanted to be good? Like what was the catalyst 254 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:26.920 for that? Like you know that's that that ship. I'm so interested this 255 00:18:26.960 --> 00:18:27.960 is something I think it was a son. It was mainly a son. 256 00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:30.599 I think it was mainly a son having that lost, because I would think 257 00:18:30.599 --> 00:18:33.799 that was all he had, I that was all he had left. You 258 00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.480 know, he's seeing his you know, his all his family in front of 259 00:18:37.559 --> 00:18:41.720 him probably followed that same steps as he did and died and obviously not changing 260 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.559 right, like everything everybody in front of him was doing the invading and you 261 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:49.480 know, taking over everything. So yeah, you know, because like what 262 00:18:49.839 --> 00:18:56.160 a profound one eighty turnaround he makes, I mean, like he becomes like 263 00:18:56.200 --> 00:19:00.200 an enlightened saying he also like stops the dragons from being extinctive. I'm not 264 00:19:00.279 --> 00:19:02.720 mistaken in that in that era as well, they mentioned it. It was 265 00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:06.680 in the the one where Zuko and Aang find the essence of fire bending, 266 00:19:06.759 --> 00:19:11.000 right where they discussed that. You find out that there's two dragons left, 267 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:14.480 and the reason why is because Iro lied and said that he killed the dragon 268 00:19:14.960 --> 00:19:18.319 right for to preserve it. So yeah, yeah, he's been doing it. 269 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:19.519 Yeah, near the end of his career, he obviously had a big 270 00:19:19.519 --> 00:19:25.960 turnaround. Yeah. No, The honestly, probably the most like emotional moment 271 00:19:26.000 --> 00:19:30.279 for me throughout Avatar is the same the same part when he's yelling at Zuko, 272 00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:34.880 because it's like in that moment you realize, I mean, you always 273 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:40.279 get the hint, but it's like fully realized in that moment that like it's 274 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:44.400 a twist. Yes, Iiro truly does not care about what is going on 275 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:48.200 in the in the Fire Nation. He truly sees the picture. He wants 276 00:19:48.519 --> 00:19:52.319 Zuko's redemption, but he wants Zuko to find it. He has to. 277 00:19:52.359 --> 00:19:55.759 Yeah, he's been saying that from the get Like when he when he spoke 278 00:19:55.799 --> 00:20:00.000 with Tough. I think it was like season two when him and tof meant 279 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.680 Ireland Tough. Yeah, he spoke nothing Zuko, you know, spoke lovingly 280 00:20:06.720 --> 00:20:10.279 about him and then spoke how much that he wishes he would follow the right 281 00:20:10.319 --> 00:20:14.559 path because it's been set in front of him the entire time. So just 282 00:20:14.599 --> 00:20:18.440 to speak to your question Nick about Iro, you know, and it's not 283 00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:22.079 an angel. You may know more about this than I do because it's not 284 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:30.240 laid out. But did did Iro join the White Lotus before or after his 285 00:20:30.400 --> 00:20:37.759 son passed? And was that actually the catalyst because the White Lotus understands the 286 00:20:37.799 --> 00:20:41.880 bigger picture, and so it's it's not that's pretty cool. Now, that's 287 00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:45.960 a cool thought. That's a cool thought. Yeah, I don't. I 288 00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.799 don't. I obviously I don't know. I'd like to think that his son 289 00:20:48.920 --> 00:20:52.200 passed away and then he went on this path of finding himself and stumbled upon 290 00:20:52.359 --> 00:20:57.960 the he stumbled upon. Yeah, but if he saved the dragons before his 291 00:20:59.079 --> 00:21:00.920 son passed, then I would also think that he had been a part of 292 00:21:00.960 --> 00:21:03.880 it for way longer. Mm. Interesting, I mean he'd likes He's like 293 00:21:03.880 --> 00:21:07.200 in Pie Show forever, So it's like he's already has that sport connection to 294 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.599 it. So it's like just taking a step further and like where in his 295 00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:14.319 Pie Show did he meet somebody with the white tiling? Go from there? 296 00:21:14.359 --> 00:21:15.799 You know, it could happen, you know, anywhere in between. Yeah, 297 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:22.319 So that's a really cool thought. Cool. So there's a lot of 298 00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:26.920 things in there that dance that real is real, but they're showing it to 299 00:21:26.960 --> 00:21:30.799 you in an exaggerated way, right, And for this one's very light and 300 00:21:30.920 --> 00:21:41.240 airy, right, the cloud seating cloud bursting episode with aunt Wu who is 301 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.240 the fortune teller, who is obviously a real fortune teller, I think because 302 00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:49.519 she threw angs bones in the fire and like they exploded, And all Ang 303 00:21:49.599 --> 00:21:56.480 wants to know is if Katara likes him. I love those like little mundane 304 00:21:56.519 --> 00:22:00.119 elements from the show, Like there's this big grand cosmic skinme of like this 305 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:04.720 hundred year destiny of the world boiling up to this genocidal war, and then 306 00:22:04.759 --> 00:22:08.759 you have these little like twelve and thirteen and fourteen year old kids just traveling 307 00:22:08.759 --> 00:22:12.440 on a big furry flying cow crushing on each other. Yeah, and like 308 00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:17.039 saving the world and like, yeah, a normal drama, and and like 309 00:22:17.079 --> 00:22:18.200 the way it dials it up, it's it's really adorable. Man. Like 310 00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:22.480 I think I think the line that made me laugh the hardest in the entire 311 00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:25.680 damn show. I can't remember what season it is because it's been three years 312 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:32.160 since I've watched it. It's like they're they're in this town that they like 313 00:22:33.119 --> 00:22:37.279 flew into briefly. It's like one of those little one episode spots, you 314 00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:40.960 know. Yeah, and it's something to do with like there's this little girl 315 00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:42.960 there that like has a crush on AG and she's more like Aang's age. 316 00:22:44.000 --> 00:22:47.000 Yeah, we're talking about the same episode, the same episode, and at 317 00:22:47.039 --> 00:22:49.559 the end, at the end, she kind of like gets the idea that 318 00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:56.599 aang like Katara, and the little girl's like, oh, thanks, floozy. 319 00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:02.599 I mean that that's a very rated g way of being like you freaking 320 00:23:02.640 --> 00:23:06.799 slightly, my man. It's funny. It's hilarious. It's hilarious. It's 321 00:23:06.839 --> 00:23:11.839 like, yeah, that that show really dials up the funny side the human 322 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:14.200 Yeah, the human side, because there's so much mess, but like they're 323 00:23:14.200 --> 00:23:17.240 still able to live their lives and bounce their lives in between. Yah. 324 00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:19.640 Yeah, I love that aspect of it. Yeah, you guys talked about 325 00:23:19.640 --> 00:23:23.400 emotional episodes. The most emotional for me was probably the Ember Island episode. 326 00:23:23.400 --> 00:23:26.359 I don't know if you guys recall that one. Wait that wasn't Whereo and 327 00:23:26.400 --> 00:23:32.920 his family like him a Zula, Tylee and like my they all go to 328 00:23:32.960 --> 00:23:34.759 Ember Island. It's where you know, like the beach. Yah, Zuko 329 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:37.400 and his family grew up there, Like they would spend their summers there and 330 00:23:37.680 --> 00:23:41.359 you know, make memories there. Right, Well, they went there, 331 00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:45.240 Uh you know, I think it was near the end of the second season. 332 00:23:45.920 --> 00:23:48.240 So this is when Zuko goes back to the Fire Nation because they think 333 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.559 he's killed the Avatar and like he thinks he has everything that he wants now, 334 00:23:53.160 --> 00:23:56.839 but he's struggling after getting everything he wants because he still feels unhappy and 335 00:23:56.880 --> 00:24:00.559 he still feels unfulfilled in his life because yeah, because he knows he's living 336 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:07.559 a lie. And uh. In that episode, they're they're they're they're kind 337 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:12.920 of like diving into the diving into themselves and like finding themselves in Mber Island 338 00:24:12.920 --> 00:24:15.160 because like I don't know if you remember the two old ladies that were there, 339 00:24:15.160 --> 00:24:18.400 they would say, oh Ember Island reveals your inner something. Yeah. 340 00:24:18.519 --> 00:24:22.599 Yeah, yeah. They were like super cryptic, okay, And then it 341 00:24:22.720 --> 00:24:26.279 ends up unfolding. As the episode goes along, you start seeing them kind 342 00:24:26.319 --> 00:24:29.880 of unravel. You kind of like even see Azula as like a normal woman 343 00:24:29.920 --> 00:24:32.759 for once, like who kind of wants to like be with a man and 344 00:24:32.759 --> 00:24:34.319 stuff like that, like, Oh, you're cool, you're you can you 345 00:24:34.359 --> 00:24:37.400 can be normal. You're too Yeah, it's crazy, you can be normal. 346 00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:41.039 Yeah, it's weird to see, but it's really nice that it's possible. 347 00:24:41.160 --> 00:24:42.559 Yeah. Uh but uh. In that same episode, I think it's 348 00:24:42.599 --> 00:24:47.160 near the end where they're talking about their lives and and they're they're they're bad, 349 00:24:47.240 --> 00:24:51.160 they're they're terrible sat but backstories and things like that, and they get 350 00:24:51.160 --> 00:24:53.240 to Zuko and and Zuko talks about being unhappy. He's like, I have 351 00:24:53.319 --> 00:24:56.839 everything I want. I have, you know, my life back in the 352 00:24:56.839 --> 00:25:00.200 fire Nation. My father acknowledges me I can sit at the war room but 353 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:03.279 I'm still unhappy. And then everybody keeps asking like, who are you upset 354 00:25:03.319 --> 00:25:04.440 at? Who are you upset at? And then he just goes, I'm 355 00:25:04.440 --> 00:25:08.559 mad at myself. He throws the fire down, it blows out like that. 356 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:12.559 That moment big moment for me because that was that, that was his 357 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:19.160 turning point like I'm the problem. Yeah yeah type thing, and that like 358 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:26.119 the moment where you are forced to realize you're the problem, like what you're 359 00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:29.839 you have to see yourself like you think you've acknowledged the problem. You think 360 00:25:29.880 --> 00:25:33.480 you're fulfilling what you want, but no, you're not. And it takes 361 00:25:33.480 --> 00:25:36.200 it took them, took him a long time to admit that. But that 362 00:25:36.240 --> 00:25:41.000 moment goes my fire. Dude, it's it's a big moment, so huge 363 00:25:41.000 --> 00:25:44.160 because that that stuff he always gets me moving. Man. Yeah, that's 364 00:25:44.160 --> 00:25:52.119 why it's crazy. It's a kids show teaching children how to deal with this, 365 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.160 right, they're saying, they're saying, you know all these you can 366 00:25:56.200 --> 00:26:00.319 have all the riches in the world, but if you don't get there the 367 00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:03.599 way you're supposed to get there or the way you need to get there for 368 00:26:03.640 --> 00:26:06.839 your personal growth, is not gonna feel it won't mean anything. It won't 369 00:26:06.880 --> 00:26:10.720 mean anything. You didn't do anything, You didn't make any progress. Yeah 370 00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.000 you thought you did because of all this external stuff. And I also like 371 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:21.279 profound I spent so much of my childhood watching it out of order. Oh 372 00:26:21.359 --> 00:26:26.519 yeah, I still think it works, Like it's no matter what where you're 373 00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:32.400 dropped in that whole entire show, there's a lesson to be learned. You 374 00:26:32.440 --> 00:26:36.920 don't have to be following along at all, even the filler episodes. I 375 00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.279 think there's one filler and it's the one that's like written by other people and 376 00:26:41.319 --> 00:26:45.640 it's like Ang's journey, Momo's journey, and it like you just learn one 377 00:26:45.759 --> 00:26:51.039 little thing about every character. It was like by anime standard, it's a 378 00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:55.079 filler, but it was still just so good. Was so sad too, 379 00:26:55.119 --> 00:27:00.519 mancause because opos still gone, still gone. This is this is what shone 380 00:27:00.599 --> 00:27:07.559 in anime are, Alex like, it's it's these cartoon shows that are meant 381 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:12.559 for kids. Showon ins are usually meant for kids, and they have all 382 00:27:12.599 --> 00:27:18.119 of these like super important real to life lessons that they're like teaching kids, 383 00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:22.160 Like I mean any one of them, and honestly, I would consider like 384 00:27:22.599 --> 00:27:27.279 I consider the Last Airbender a shown in anime like yeah, I don't know, 385 00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.079 call me out like the comments on Fire, there's no there's no gore. 386 00:27:33.599 --> 00:27:38.119 It's all implied. Yeah, and I get that. And I also 387 00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:45.359 think that, like, you know, Ryan's emotional, Ryan has a emotional 388 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:49.319 nostalgic connection to Dragon ball Z. Well yeah, well yeah, every well 389 00:27:49.480 --> 00:27:53.000 all three three of us do, right, I got you. And it's 390 00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:57.480 like this is what I have that with in that category, and so it's 391 00:27:57.559 --> 00:28:00.440 hard to like because if I have this, I wouldn't watch the show. 392 00:28:00.720 --> 00:28:03.759 Yeah right, yeah, right, and I wouldn't be the same it wouldn't 393 00:28:03.759 --> 00:28:07.359 be the same show. Well, I wanted to add something, if I 394 00:28:07.440 --> 00:28:11.359 may, for the listener out there who who has never seen Avatar, which 395 00:28:11.359 --> 00:28:15.440 I think is incredibly unlikely, but just in case, you know, if 396 00:28:15.480 --> 00:28:19.160 you haven't seen it and you're curious about like any sort of esoteric themes there, 397 00:28:19.319 --> 00:28:23.559 there's there's an undercurrent to Avatar, which is the real reason why it's 398 00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:26.359 so good. We know it, but I want to I want to explain 399 00:28:26.440 --> 00:28:30.480 it, you know. Yeah, we haven't done that's probably exactly. Yeah, 400 00:28:30.799 --> 00:28:33.079 you have to do it at some point, right, probably. Yeah, 401 00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:36.160 So I pulled up something very valuable. So the thing about Avatar, 402 00:28:36.279 --> 00:28:37.680 for those who have no clue what it is, we're not talking about the 403 00:28:37.680 --> 00:28:41.640 Blue People obviously. By now, I mean you realize that twenty eight minutes 404 00:28:41.680 --> 00:28:45.079 and we're talking about Avatar the Last already. Oh my god. This is 405 00:28:45.160 --> 00:28:48.000 something that I was taught. It's like you just assume they have no clue 406 00:28:48.039 --> 00:28:52.240 what you're talking about. I know I usually do that. I just got 407 00:28:52.319 --> 00:28:55.119 so excited, so good idea. Well, I'm just saying, okay, 408 00:28:55.200 --> 00:28:59.480 why why is he, like, you know, insulting our intelligence and explaining 409 00:28:59.519 --> 00:29:02.839 to us that it's Avatar the Last Airbender? Right? You know, I 410 00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:04.799 just wanted to make that very clear. Okay, So this is a show 411 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:11.960 that is about Eastern mysticism. We have the four elements, but you know, 412 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:15.559 you understand and and pretty much all mythologies, there's actually five elements, 413 00:29:15.599 --> 00:29:18.599 the fifth element being the spirit. Right, what does he learned at the 414 00:29:18.680 --> 00:29:23.599 very end of the show exactly because he I'm gonna I'm gonna read the lesson 415 00:29:23.640 --> 00:29:29.119 from Gurupathic on how he opens all seven chakras. Yeah, yeah, I 416 00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:33.160 found a transcript of the actual lesson. So that's that's something about the show 417 00:29:33.279 --> 00:29:37.839 that is so fucking mind blowing and so profound that they had an actual, 418 00:29:37.400 --> 00:29:45.000 genuine, uh explanation of how to like with real esoteric like you could call 419 00:29:45.079 --> 00:29:49.680 it Tibetan Buddhism, Taoism, you know whatever, how to open your chakras. 420 00:29:51.160 --> 00:29:56.839 The real esoteric description of this is verbatim in the show, and it's 421 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:02.319 like the pivotal moment towards the end where a becomes fully realized is when he 422 00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:06.960 opens all seven chakras and he reaches galactic cosmic consciousness where he's like, he 423 00:30:07.000 --> 00:30:10.359 has this whole scene where when he reaches his final state, the crown, 424 00:30:10.480 --> 00:30:12.119 he has to connect and be one with the universe and see it from a 425 00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:17.759 higher perspective. His last step in his unfolding avatar consciousness is to let go 426 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.039 of his attachment to Katara, his earthly attachment, his earthly possession, and 427 00:30:21.079 --> 00:30:26.720 his love right. But then you realize from the enlightened perspective, what the 428 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:30.559 Guru is explaining to him is not that he has to shun her and not 429 00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:33.079 be in love with her and forget about her, but what he has to 430 00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:40.480 do is detach himself from her as like experiencing her in a state of love, 431 00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:47.400 but not letting his fear of losing her influence his actions. Yes, 432 00:30:47.599 --> 00:30:52.640 it's not the it's not the love that's evil, or it's the attachment of 433 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:57.960 it. And once he realizes this, it literally illustrates him reaching galactic like 434 00:30:59.119 --> 00:31:03.279 cosmic enlightened. And then he goes and he masters the fifth element, which 435 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:04.680 is spirit bending. Right, I mean, we're giving it away here. 436 00:31:04.759 --> 00:31:11.480 But and what I wanted to illuminate about the show that's so wonderful is that 437 00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:15.720 it has this entire element of like a hidden spirit world that only avatars and 438 00:31:15.799 --> 00:31:21.920 select few other people iron can go into. But Ali chant scene chorus, 439 00:31:21.920 --> 00:31:25.720 So we're gonna pretending to say that, yes, but there's only like select 440 00:31:25.839 --> 00:31:30.319 few people in this entire world that can actually delve into the spirit world. 441 00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:33.200 So like that whole part is cool, you know, So check this out, 442 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:38.839 Gurupathic. This is what he explains to Ang. Chakras are pools of 443 00:31:38.920 --> 00:31:44.119 spiraling energy in our bodies. There are seven chakras that go up the body. 444 00:31:44.240 --> 00:31:47.160 Each pool of energy has a purpose and can be blocked by a specific 445 00:31:47.279 --> 00:31:51.759 kind of emotional mark. Be warned opening the chakras is an intense experience, 446 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.079 and once you begin this process, you cannot stop until all seven are open. 447 00:31:55.519 --> 00:31:57.839 The first chakra is the earth chakra, located at the base of the 448 00:31:57.880 --> 00:32:01.759 spine. It deals with survival and is blocked by fear. What are you 449 00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:06.519 most afraid of? Let your fears become clear to you. You are concerned 450 00:32:06.559 --> 00:32:09.119 about your survival, but you must surrender those fears. Let your fears flow 451 00:32:09.160 --> 00:32:13.359 down the creek. Next is the water chokra. Note that they're not calling 452 00:32:13.400 --> 00:32:16.839 them root sacrel. They're calling them elements. And I think that's totally fine. 453 00:32:16.880 --> 00:32:22.720 It is a children's show. Maybe sacrerole could be offensive. I don't 454 00:32:22.720 --> 00:32:28.200 know a child watching a child show literally learning how to clear your shock. 455 00:32:28.480 --> 00:32:31.079 I know, dude, Like, this isn't fru fruit, this is real. 456 00:32:31.799 --> 00:32:35.759 Yeah. Next is yeah. All they do is replace the word of 457 00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:37.640 the chokra Ye. Next is the water chokra, which is emotion. Water 458 00:32:37.720 --> 00:32:42.519 bending is emotion that this chalker deals with pleasure and is blocked by guilt. 459 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:45.799 Look at the guilt that burdens you. So what do you blame yourself for? 460 00:32:45.240 --> 00:32:49.000 Now? Accept the reality that these things happened, but do not let 461 00:32:49.079 --> 00:32:52.279 them cloud and poison your energy. If you are to be a positive influence 462 00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:55.119 on the world, you need to forgive yourself. Third is the fire chokra 463 00:32:55.240 --> 00:33:00.400 that's solar plexus, located in the stomach the sun, this chalk that I'm 464 00:33:00.400 --> 00:33:04.839 adding, this solar places part. This chakra deals with willpower and is blocked 465 00:33:04.839 --> 00:33:07.279 by shame. What are you ashamed of? What are your biggest disappointments in 466 00:33:07.319 --> 00:33:10.960 yourself? You will never find balance if you deny this part of your life. 467 00:33:12.279 --> 00:33:15.480 The fourth chakra is located in the heart. It deals with love and 468 00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:17.559 is blocked by grief. Lay all of your grief out in front of you. 469 00:33:17.920 --> 00:33:22.000 Love is a form of energy and it swirls all around us. A 470 00:33:22.119 --> 00:33:25.119 love of your lost ones has not left this world. It is still inside 471 00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:29.079 of your heart and it is reborn in a form of new love. Let 472 00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:31.799 it flow through you. The fifth chakra in the chain is the sound chakra, 473 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:36.839 located in the throat. It deals with truth and is blocked by lies, 474 00:33:36.960 --> 00:33:39.839 the ones that we tell ourselves. You cannot lie about your own nature. 475 00:33:40.160 --> 00:33:44.519 You must accept yourself as you are. The sixth pool of chakra, 476 00:33:44.960 --> 00:33:47.680 excuse me. The sixth pool of energy is the light chakra, located in 477 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:52.599 the center of the forehead. It deals with insight and is blocked by illusion. 478 00:33:52.759 --> 00:33:55.079 I'm almost done. The greatest illusion of this world is the illusion of 479 00:33:55.160 --> 00:34:00.039 separation. Things that you think are separate and different are actually one and the 480 00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:05.200 same. We are all one people, but we live as if divided. 481 00:34:05.480 --> 00:34:07.960 We are all connected, and everything is connected. Even the separation of the 482 00:34:08.039 --> 00:34:13.159 four elements is an illusion, because again they're all conjoined to the fifth Spirit. 483 00:34:13.760 --> 00:34:15.280 Even the separation of the four elements is an illusion. If you open 484 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:19.360 your mind, you will see that all the elements are one, four parts 485 00:34:19.400 --> 00:34:22.880 of the same whole. Even metal is just a part of Earth that has 486 00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:28.119 been purified and refined. The final chakra is thought chakra and is located at 487 00:34:28.159 --> 00:34:31.519 the crown of the head. It deals with pure cosmic energy and is blocked 488 00:34:31.559 --> 00:34:36.239 by earthly attachment. Remember he's attached to Katara. He's in love. You 489 00:34:36.320 --> 00:34:38.559 know. Once you open this chakra, you will be able to go into 490 00:34:38.599 --> 00:34:43.159 the state of mind where you will have complete control and awareness of all your 491 00:34:43.239 --> 00:34:46.000 actions. Meditate on what attaches you to this world. As the Guru is 492 00:34:46.039 --> 00:34:50.119 explaining this, you see an Aang's mind. He's seeing the love Katara. 493 00:34:50.199 --> 00:34:52.760 He can't let go of her. He's struggling, but then he lets go 494 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.440 and he ascends, but he still gets to be in love with her. 495 00:34:55.840 --> 00:34:59.960 Yeah, you know. Yeah, meditate on what attaches you to this world. 496 00:35:00.159 --> 00:35:01.559 Now, let go of all those attachments. Excuse me, Let all 497 00:35:01.599 --> 00:35:06.159 those attachments go, Let them flow down the river forgotten. You must learn 498 00:35:06.199 --> 00:35:08.320 to let go, otherwise you won't be able to let the pure cosmic energy 499 00:35:08.400 --> 00:35:13.920 flow in from the universe. That's a that's a transcript from an episode. 500 00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:21.360 Still he robatim But I want to butt in here and say that you're he's 501 00:35:21.440 --> 00:35:23.960 taking these chakras and relating him to the elements that are getting bended in the 502 00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:29.440 show. The reality is is that everybody listening to this is the avatar, 503 00:35:30.239 --> 00:35:34.280 and you are bending the elements that control your chakras. Right, So you 504 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:37.760 have the chakras for love, emotions, willpower, sound, thought. You 505 00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:43.760 are bending thought. You're bending sound with your mouth, You're bending your willpower, 506 00:35:43.840 --> 00:35:46.360 You're bending your love and emotions. Those are the things that we get 507 00:35:46.400 --> 00:35:52.000 to bend with this physical body like move around and manipulate the world around us. 508 00:35:52.239 --> 00:35:58.320 And you're mastering of each of those chakras and getting to that ethereal body 509 00:35:58.400 --> 00:36:00.119 that is like, what that is the reality? Well, dude, then 510 00:36:01.079 --> 00:36:05.760 absolutely. And then you look at Buddhism the way that they look at the 511 00:36:05.880 --> 00:36:10.119 four elements, like like Tibetan Buddhism. They the reason that they focus on 512 00:36:10.199 --> 00:36:15.440 the four elements. It's not literally them focusing on fire, earth, air, 513 00:36:15.599 --> 00:36:20.559 and water. They're not literally focusing on those things. They're using those 514 00:36:20.679 --> 00:36:30.119 things as abstract representations of the energies within us. The the whole show is 515 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:35.159 an allegory exact when they're bending water, it's like, dude, it's like 516 00:36:35.280 --> 00:36:42.360 mythology. It's like like Greek mythology. They're they're allegories for the lessons that 517 00:36:42.519 --> 00:36:46.559 we need to download into our subconscious. Like I'm kind of realizing right now 518 00:36:47.039 --> 00:36:52.360 that Avatar the Last Airbender is like a religion. Well, I mean, 519 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:54.400 it's like, you know, it's not that it's a religion, but it 520 00:36:54.719 --> 00:37:00.280 has it has a complete message. What does every religion have and do? 521 00:37:00.559 --> 00:37:07.440 It has the main sage character going through the journey of the soul, learning 522 00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:13.400 how to unlock their chakras, learning how to like expand their consciousness and awaken 523 00:37:13.559 --> 00:37:17.559 and enlighten themselves. Like it's like the story of every sage ever, Dionysus, 524 00:37:19.159 --> 00:37:23.519 Osiris, Jesus, like all of them. Like it's like they made 525 00:37:23.719 --> 00:37:28.679 a religion in the form of a kid's show. Correct me if I'm wrong, 526 00:37:28.880 --> 00:37:30.800 And this is an abstract thought, but does the show end with aang 527 00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:35.800 being thirteen by any means? Because I know it starts when he's twelve. 528 00:37:35.800 --> 00:37:37.440 I have to look it up. I'll look it up, but that makes 529 00:37:37.480 --> 00:37:43.320 serious. I'm just curious because I know it starts when he's one hundred and 530 00:37:43.320 --> 00:37:46.239 twelve. I also want to curious. Who's thirteen? Is that symbolic number? 531 00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:49.840 You know? Yeah? Well, I mean, and I talk about 532 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:52.400 bending these things like sound and emotion and stuff, and it makes me think, 533 00:37:52.519 --> 00:37:55.760 like, you know, you could look at that and say, oh, 534 00:37:55.840 --> 00:37:59.519 I can do that. I can bend that. But what do you 535 00:37:59.559 --> 00:38:04.840 got Nick? It says in the end of the show, and was still 536 00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:09.199 twelve years old or at most or at most just turned thirteen. Yeah, 537 00:38:09.280 --> 00:38:13.599 it's like at least a year they flew around the world. I mean, 538 00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:15.000 yeah, yeah, I was just curious. I mean it doesn't say that, 539 00:38:15.159 --> 00:38:19.480 but in my mind that would make it of some significance. Well, 540 00:38:19.559 --> 00:38:21.639 yeah, the number thirteen. I mean, it's a whole templar thing. 541 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:25.039 You know, Jesus pops up at thirteen with some sort of ministry. You 542 00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:29.559 know, it's a it's a superstitious mythological number. There might not be a 543 00:38:29.599 --> 00:38:31.599 connection there. I was just curious. Yeah, you know, but yeah, 544 00:38:32.119 --> 00:38:36.199 what are you saying? Well, I'm just saying, like nobody really. 545 00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:38.760 You see in the show, you see the negative aspects of fire. 546 00:38:38.800 --> 00:38:43.400 You see what happens when you can't bend fire and fire being like willpower, 547 00:38:43.519 --> 00:38:46.960 Right, But then I also look at this and like, like you're you're 548 00:38:47.039 --> 00:38:52.400 we're correlating emotions to water and water when you're bending, it doesn't really seem 549 00:38:52.480 --> 00:38:55.800 like it could go wrong, but you know, water can drown you. 550 00:38:55.960 --> 00:39:00.800 You can drown in your emotions. And all of these like connections to these 551 00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:02.400 emotions and the things that we have the ability to bend, it's like, 552 00:39:04.360 --> 00:39:07.639 you can't. You have to become a master at these things and be able 553 00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:15.039 to detach from them and not allow them to to consume you come over you, 554 00:39:15.559 --> 00:39:17.599 Like, you can't let the love consume you to the point where you 555 00:39:17.719 --> 00:39:22.760 won't let go of your earthly attachments, and you can't let the emotions consume 556 00:39:22.800 --> 00:39:27.280 you to the point that you're only living in emotion. Yeah, I'm just 557 00:39:27.360 --> 00:39:29.599 going back to that. I'm sitting here looking. No. I love that. 558 00:39:29.719 --> 00:39:31.000 Also, I mean if you think, yeah, also if you think 559 00:39:31.000 --> 00:39:36.320 about like when they're actually bending their elements, when they're learning how to bend 560 00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:39.559 their elements, like if they try too hard or if they are like like 561 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:42.920 whatever, it doesn't work, Katar in the beginning, she will just throw 562 00:39:42.960 --> 00:39:45.519 the water in frustration. That's what I'm saying. Explain to her. It's 563 00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:47.559 about the flow of her emotional state. Yep, that's what I'm saying. 564 00:39:47.599 --> 00:39:51.559 You you quite literally have to. When she was angry, like sheld literally 565 00:39:51.599 --> 00:39:52.960 like that's how she got angry. She broke a whole icebreag when she was 566 00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:59.440 mad, icebreag like in half. And in order to bend the lightning, 567 00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:02.960 you have to be completely clear of emotion, not even that, just understand 568 00:40:04.079 --> 00:40:07.639 your energy and how it flows through your body so you can take it in. 569 00:40:07.800 --> 00:40:09.679 And then that's always my favorite, bro, when they channel the lightning. 570 00:40:09.880 --> 00:40:13.639 Yeah, that was the And he remember I would learned that because of 571 00:40:13.719 --> 00:40:20.480 water bending techniques and learned how to read diirect light and redirect line, because 572 00:40:20.480 --> 00:40:23.440 think of it just like water, you know, like it's just of something 573 00:40:24.000 --> 00:40:28.880 of energy. So water, same thing, it's flowing through you, so 574 00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:30.920 you just bring it in, you bring it right out to jump on top 575 00:40:31.000 --> 00:40:35.800 of that too. In my field of work, I deal with a lot 576 00:40:35.840 --> 00:40:42.360 of electricity, and that is the number one comming out when someone trying to 577 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:47.119 explain how electricity works. It's always water flow, flow current, That's how 578 00:40:47.159 --> 00:40:52.960 it works. You know, what are all the advanced bending types? Again? 579 00:40:52.039 --> 00:40:55.599 What were they? There were blood, metal and then magma. Well 580 00:40:55.719 --> 00:40:59.280 that's in Kora. You learn that, Like, yeah, I think it's 581 00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:02.280 crazy. And that's what about I'm talking about in the whole universe. Yeah, 582 00:41:02.320 --> 00:41:08.360 yeah, metal bending, magma bending. I haven't been watched a lightning 583 00:41:08.599 --> 00:41:13.000 And then I think and even like I remember in Korra, one of the 584 00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:15.760 things I wanted to know as an earthbnder is if they can steal the breath 585 00:41:15.800 --> 00:41:17.519 away of somebody, like, steal your breath away, earthbender. No, 586 00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.519 an airbender is still your breath away. And they do it in Korra, 587 00:41:22.679 --> 00:41:25.280 they do really do it. In hears here does it He literally takes I 588 00:41:25.360 --> 00:41:30.639 think the Earth Queen, he takes the breath from her body, who's decocates 589 00:41:30.679 --> 00:41:34.800 her. It's one of the biggest antagonists in Korra, like and he's an 590 00:41:34.800 --> 00:41:37.400 airbender. He's an airbender. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. You gotta 591 00:41:37.400 --> 00:41:42.440 watch. I've seen like the first book of It and that's the first two 592 00:41:42.599 --> 00:41:45.199 a show that has like a person like the Avatar but lives in a world 593 00:41:46.239 --> 00:41:52.519 is against it. You haven't seen season two of Cora. I saw. 594 00:41:52.920 --> 00:41:58.199 I saw the first episode. Dude, season two is crazy, it's nuts. 595 00:41:58.440 --> 00:42:00.239 Well, what I'm saying is I saw the first episode. Is the 596 00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:06.679 episode where they show wand yeah, I think it's the original Avatar. Yeah, 597 00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:07.719 the first I think that's end of the first season. I think No, 598 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:10.199 season two, it's the first episode. It's all about the Spirit, 599 00:42:10.719 --> 00:42:14.920 the first episode of the Book of Spirit and they like, yeah, I 600 00:42:14.960 --> 00:42:17.840 mean it's just like all about the spirit world the whole season, remember, 601 00:42:19.199 --> 00:42:22.079 and it's about like the origins of the Avatar and which gains the spirit of 602 00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:24.920 light the spirit of darkness. Yeah, it's super cool. Which, by 603 00:42:25.000 --> 00:42:28.880 the way, it's like a ten thousand year cycle. Yeah, and you're 604 00:42:28.920 --> 00:42:30.400 using spirit bending and that just makes it thin because they didn't do that till 605 00:42:30.519 --> 00:42:35.679 Kora. It wasn't a thing till Kora. Spirit bending like that term so 606 00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:38.920 right, yeah, because because she was that and like the spirit world being 607 00:42:38.960 --> 00:42:43.239 so heavily involved in Kora, Like yeah, she was just able to do 608 00:42:43.320 --> 00:42:46.440 it so freely and bend the energy and it was always light. Dang. 609 00:42:46.760 --> 00:42:50.159 You know Season two is crazy. Yeah, that show was a nuts in 610 00:42:50.239 --> 00:42:54.880 general. I'm already like we've been talking about Avatar like for the past couple 611 00:42:54.920 --> 00:43:00.519 of days. I'm so charged up and ready to rewatch the original and finish 612 00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:07.960 Kora finally. But I did want to say we have already mentioned so many 613 00:43:08.079 --> 00:43:15.239 things that refer to the whole like duality concept like Yin and Yang that comes 614 00:43:15.360 --> 00:43:21.239 up all the time in the show. That's the stuff that comes from Daoism. 615 00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:27.280 Yin Yang is all Daoism. Think about the Wan that that whole origin 616 00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:35.639 story with their their names are so basically you see in Kora Rava and Vatu, 617 00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:40.119 right, you see how the first Avatar comes to be and it's this 618 00:43:40.400 --> 00:43:46.119 man named Wan and he like sees the spirits of light and darkness fighting in 619 00:43:46.199 --> 00:43:52.840 the sky and their names are Rava and Vatu, and then does he separate 620 00:43:52.960 --> 00:43:55.280 them or do they get separated on their own somehow. No, they're not 621 00:43:55.320 --> 00:44:00.800 supposed to be separated, right, but they think he interjects someway and then 622 00:44:00.880 --> 00:44:05.719 causes them to separate. That is what it was. He did interject exactly. 623 00:44:05.800 --> 00:44:07.599 He was just like, oh, they're fighting, break them up. 624 00:44:07.639 --> 00:44:09.800 It's important to mention this is like ten thousand years ago. Yes, yes, 625 00:44:10.360 --> 00:44:15.719 and so he he breaks them up, but he doesn't understand that, 626 00:44:15.079 --> 00:44:21.840 like that's the cosmic dance of the universe. Like when those things aren't quote 627 00:44:21.920 --> 00:44:24.679 unquote fighting, they're not fighting, they're more like dancing. But when when 628 00:44:24.719 --> 00:44:30.920 they're not doing the fighting right right, they're fighting it's a ten thousand year 629 00:44:30.960 --> 00:44:34.480 fight to death. Well yeah, but then you know, when they become 630 00:44:34.559 --> 00:44:38.039 separated, chaos breaks loose and the dark spirit is able to kind of like 631 00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:46.719 go and recap and then wan that human. The only way that they can, 632 00:44:47.360 --> 00:44:53.559 you know, think, to counteract this darkness is for one to bind 633 00:44:53.840 --> 00:45:00.639 or sorry rava, to bind himself to one exactly as literally an avatar, 634 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:07.599 which, by the way, in Hinduism or in specifically in the Bagavad Gita, 635 00:45:07.920 --> 00:45:14.000 an avatar is a form that a god takes to address a specific dharmic 636 00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:20.000 crisis on Earth. Yeah, like Krishna or Vishnu exactly. In Hindu tradition, 637 00:45:20.119 --> 00:45:23.559 avatars descend to Earth to counteract evil and restore balance to all things. 638 00:45:24.400 --> 00:45:28.400 They believe that there's gonna be a tenth and final avatar. I think it's 639 00:45:28.440 --> 00:45:32.559 named shak T. It's a prophecy. Wow, but so so yeah, 640 00:45:32.679 --> 00:45:39.079 and he binds Rava binds himself to Wan becomes the first avatar, and the 641 00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:45.559 basically everything that happens after that moment up to currently where we're watching in the 642 00:45:45.639 --> 00:45:53.280 show is infinitely Wan is reincarnating into different avatars, each time as the next 643 00:45:53.480 --> 00:45:58.480 element in the chain, over and over and over and over and over to 644 00:45:58.639 --> 00:46:05.960 try to store that balance, try to defeat Vatu and restore balance back to 645 00:46:06.039 --> 00:46:10.760 the whole yin yang cycle of things, which is what Daoism teaches. And 646 00:46:10.840 --> 00:46:15.639 then like you were just talking about the chakras, unlocking your chakras, like 647 00:46:15.760 --> 00:46:20.360 that's you know, they're talking about this in a kids show. He phrased 648 00:46:20.400 --> 00:46:23.039 it. However, he wants to the real way. Yeah, that's Hinduism. 649 00:46:24.000 --> 00:46:28.199 That is Hinduism. Well, it's it's it's it's essentially like all of 650 00:46:28.280 --> 00:46:32.480 Eastern mystics is the main face and and his and Hinduism is like where chakra 651 00:46:32.840 --> 00:46:37.000 technically originated. It was, it's where it's first comes from Hinduism. It's 652 00:46:37.119 --> 00:46:45.000 yeah, it's really wild. And then like obviously the Airbenders are Tibetan Buddhists, 653 00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:51.480 like they are. That's like to the t Well, just quick correction 654 00:46:51.679 --> 00:46:53.800 because I don't you know when I just said the tenth and final Avatar. 655 00:46:53.840 --> 00:46:58.159 According to real Hinduism, the name is actually Kulky. I want to get 656 00:46:58.159 --> 00:47:00.400 it right. There's a prophey, there will be a tenth fun Avatar, 657 00:47:00.599 --> 00:47:02.920 but I wanted to say this is mild spoilers. I don't want to necessarily 658 00:47:02.960 --> 00:47:07.159 get into the details of like the actual events that go down in the sense 659 00:47:07.199 --> 00:47:10.840 that y'all haven't seen season two all the way of Corey yet, but you'll 660 00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:19.480 like this. There's a concept in the show where the the realm Earth whatever, 661 00:47:20.079 --> 00:47:25.239 it's on a ten thousand year cycle of the great cosmic War between light 662 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:30.440 and dark, and it's known as the Harmonic convergence, when every ten thousand 663 00:47:30.559 --> 00:47:37.039 years there's a specific alignment where the spirit and the material world align, where 664 00:47:37.079 --> 00:47:40.119 the spirits of Vatu and Rava are able to come through a portal and like 665 00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:47.400 take domain and have their great battle on Earth. So season two finale harmonic 666 00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:52.480 convergence. But again we're thinking, you know, in real life and esoteric 667 00:47:52.559 --> 00:47:58.079 literature, that's believed that you know, the Hindus had the Yuga cycles. 668 00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:00.960 You know, in different esoteric doctrines, you have the concept of the Age 669 00:48:00.960 --> 00:48:05.639 of Aquarius. Again, it's this high level material here where they're putting it 670 00:48:05.679 --> 00:48:09.800 in the minds of the youth about some sort of cosmic alignment cycle to enter 671 00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:13.320 a new age. And again it's like, I'm trying not to spoil what 672 00:48:13.559 --> 00:48:16.519 happens, but let's just say at the end of season I worry about spoils. 673 00:48:16.760 --> 00:48:20.239 Yeah, I mean, it's so there's so much more to it than 674 00:48:20.239 --> 00:48:22.880 what I'm about to say. And and you know, it's important to know 675 00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:28.039 that initially the creators of The Last Airbender and Korra, they intended Cora season 676 00:48:28.079 --> 00:48:30.440 two to be the actual end. So when you watch season two, you'll 677 00:48:30.440 --> 00:48:34.159 see it and be like, dang, like that was epic as hell. 678 00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:36.920 And then Nickelodeon came back to them and they're like, yeah, you're gonna 679 00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:38.760 make us two more seasons. Yep, so they made season three and season 680 00:48:38.800 --> 00:48:44.360 four. Oh for real, it's like that. So season season two is 681 00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.800 this wild epic kaiju battle of the spirits of light and dark during the high 682 00:48:49.039 --> 00:48:52.239 harmonic convergence. Yeah, and basically like when that conflict is resolved, like 683 00:48:52.360 --> 00:48:57.599 the spirit and the material world's are merged and they enter into a new age. 684 00:48:58.079 --> 00:49:00.719 What it's dope, dude. The Kora is one of the same. 685 00:49:00.760 --> 00:49:05.360 They come in freely, they leave freely. Yeah, Kora's wild bro. 686 00:49:05.599 --> 00:49:09.719 Wait so then I didn't even finished. That's like they lived simultaneously. That's 687 00:49:09.719 --> 00:49:13.840 why it shows all that because it relates it to now being. And then 688 00:49:15.199 --> 00:49:19.360 the cycle was gone with Cora, remember Yeah, yeah, she she ruined 689 00:49:19.400 --> 00:49:21.920 the cycle, so it restarted with her. What what do you mean, 690 00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:24.079 I don't know the harmonic conversions happens. Yeah, no, it happened. 691 00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:29.360 It's a thing in the show like where like she ends up messing up the 692 00:49:29.519 --> 00:49:34.400 cycle. Yeah, and the Avatar cycle. Yeah. Man, it's crazy. 693 00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:38.039 Wait, so if if like balance was restored with the spirit world and 694 00:49:38.119 --> 00:49:42.760 the physical world, then how is there going to be another season? Well, 695 00:49:42.800 --> 00:49:47.320 because they were dealing with other like antagonists that had very crazy radical ideas 696 00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:51.199 about how the world should be, and she had to deal with that. 697 00:49:51.760 --> 00:49:55.800 There's like essentially there's I started season three, I got a few episodes in. 698 00:49:55.880 --> 00:50:00.679 I never finished it, but there's there's I need to There's there's like 699 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:05.360 a there's like a terrorist airbender who yeah hears he like that's the best. 700 00:50:05.880 --> 00:50:10.320 Yeah, he challenges he's called very being of being an avatar, he calls 701 00:50:10.360 --> 00:50:15.159 her. He makes her feel basically useless because of how powerful he is. 702 00:50:15.239 --> 00:50:16.880 And he has homies that are just as powerful too. He has a whole 703 00:50:16.880 --> 00:50:22.039 squad. He's like he's like locked in like a SuperMac security prison because he's 704 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:25.400 like such a deadly air and can fly. Bro. He shows up, 705 00:50:25.920 --> 00:50:29.639 Yeah, he like when he shows up and just like wipes tens in in 706 00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:32.239 the squad. He wipes him through, and he's just like, wait does 707 00:50:32.320 --> 00:50:37.199 this start in the third season three? Yeah? Very beginning, Yeah. 708 00:50:37.400 --> 00:50:42.920 Yeah. And he's somebody who's like he's read ancient uh like airbenders like text 709 00:50:43.000 --> 00:50:45.480 and stuff like that, so like he under he has a knowledge that a 710 00:50:45.559 --> 00:50:49.400 lot of airbenders in that place don't have. More than likely I doubt tens 711 00:50:49.440 --> 00:50:51.360 And knows any of that stuff, and that's all I know. Like I 712 00:50:51.360 --> 00:50:54.280 said, I haven't finished, but I binged the Last Airbender in like a 713 00:50:54.320 --> 00:50:58.320 few weeks and then and then benched course season one core season two, and 714 00:50:58.360 --> 00:51:00.559 I was like, I need a break, and then I just never picked 715 00:51:00.559 --> 00:51:01.840 them back up. But yeah, it's it just throws the idea of the 716 00:51:01.880 --> 00:51:07.400 avatar really upside down, because like it's a world that acts like they don't 717 00:51:07.440 --> 00:51:12.679 need it. Well that's particularly crazy, especially coming off the tales of the 718 00:51:12.840 --> 00:51:17.079 whole ten thousand year cycle thing ending and the spirit and the physical. It's 719 00:51:17.119 --> 00:51:22.079 like it seems like that the world wouldn't need an avatar anymore. At that 720 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:25.480 point, you'd think, yeah, I think things aren't like okay at all. 721 00:51:25.599 --> 00:51:30.719 Like every people are still in that city, big cities and industrial. 722 00:51:30.800 --> 00:51:34.480 It's all industrial. It's like like people are crooked left and right, you 723 00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:37.880 know, just like nowadays with businesses and things like that. Like it's that 724 00:51:37.039 --> 00:51:42.239 type of world, you know, right, Apparently the next season is supposed 725 00:51:42.239 --> 00:51:45.679 to be like close to modern times. Yeah, I'm excited for that because 726 00:51:45.679 --> 00:51:51.199 it's how many years between each cycle. It's when they die, yeah, 727 00:51:51.199 --> 00:51:52.800 it's when they die and then it happens. I think that right, right, 728 00:51:53.000 --> 00:51:57.719 Yeah, yeah, somebody is born. Yeah, I mean guitars alive 729 00:51:57.800 --> 00:52:01.719 when when right? And and and this is a good a good reference to 730 00:52:01.800 --> 00:52:07.880 that what you just said. This is gonna be some minor spoilers for Attack 731 00:52:07.960 --> 00:52:12.719 on Titan. I want to be very careful. I'll be very I'm gonna 732 00:52:12.719 --> 00:52:15.119 be very It's okay, it's okay. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give 733 00:52:15.199 --> 00:52:19.000 specific events. I'm just gonna talk about the theme. The theme of the 734 00:52:19.119 --> 00:52:22.039 end of Attack on Titan is exactly like what you just said with Korra. 735 00:52:22.199 --> 00:52:29.880 It's like the conflict is resolved, but then it's like, uh, that's 736 00:52:30.159 --> 00:52:34.960 just like one little moment in the great scale of time and human culture. 737 00:52:35.320 --> 00:52:39.039 And it's like the Titan conflict, the story of Jaeger and you know, 738 00:52:39.199 --> 00:52:44.480 the the Nations, like the present conflict. It's like it's resolved, but 739 00:52:44.599 --> 00:52:51.199 then like war goes on and chaos and it's this theme of like human nature 740 00:52:51.320 --> 00:52:54.400 is warlike and destructive and the cycle is over, but then like the next 741 00:52:54.480 --> 00:52:58.920 cycle continues. A thousand years go by or whatever, one hundred years, 742 00:52:58.960 --> 00:53:01.960 technology builds, Now they have nukes, now they have fighter jets. It's 743 00:53:02.360 --> 00:53:07.719 yeah, and humanity just just destroys itself. It's like all this conflict, 744 00:53:07.800 --> 00:53:10.440 all this suffering, all this enlightenment and this wisdom to be gained, yet 745 00:53:10.840 --> 00:53:15.400 on the grand scale, you know, human nature is cruel and warlike. 746 00:53:15.960 --> 00:53:19.199 Yeah, it's chaotic, it's brutal, bro And like that's why we need 747 00:53:19.280 --> 00:53:22.840 the avatar because you know, you can have this enlightenment, but people need 748 00:53:22.920 --> 00:53:25.920 to learn, you know, like the masses need to be enlightened. Yo. 749 00:53:27.079 --> 00:53:30.639 I think that's and that in itself is an allegory for real life as 750 00:53:30.679 --> 00:53:34.920 well. Yeah, Like there's so much value even if even if you don't 751 00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:39.960 consider yourself like a spiritual person or whatever, Like the tenets of what this 752 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:45.199 show is talking about are still something that would make this world a better place 753 00:53:45.719 --> 00:53:52.280 exactly, brother spiritual or not. Yeah, I mean, it just so 754 00:53:52.519 --> 00:53:57.760 happens that the key to the spiritual vault is just being a better person, 755 00:53:58.519 --> 00:54:01.559 which just helps everybody. And if it wasn't enough for you, if it 756 00:54:01.679 --> 00:54:06.239 wasn't spiritual enough all, which is like it's kind of hard. It's one 757 00:54:06.280 --> 00:54:09.079 of the most spiritual like cartoons I've ever ever ever, sad let's talk. 758 00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:14.320 If it wasn't enough for you like, you know, you want to talk 759 00:54:14.320 --> 00:54:17.119 about Krishna consciousness, christ consciousness. Whatever. What do you think of when 760 00:54:17.119 --> 00:54:21.880 you hear those words, like a pacifist or merciful, you know, true 761 00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:24.880 true mercy, true love. Ang never kills one person, yeah, never 762 00:54:25.519 --> 00:54:30.519 people die. He probably hurts them, but like, oh of course different. 763 00:54:30.719 --> 00:54:35.480 He uses very he goes out of his way to use very elusive combat 764 00:54:35.599 --> 00:54:38.199 to minimize damage. But he's such a master at his skills. He like 765 00:54:38.519 --> 00:54:42.199 is just better than everybody, you know, because he's a freaking avatar. 766 00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:45.199 But my point is, like the final season, he reaches this ascended consciousness, 767 00:54:45.559 --> 00:54:51.079 and you see while he's with the Guru trying to unlock his seven chakras, 768 00:54:51.079 --> 00:54:57.320 which he eventually does, you see that he has this anguish that he 769 00:54:57.519 --> 00:55:00.320 fears conflict with Ozi because the far is, how can I defeat him if 770 00:55:00.360 --> 00:55:04.079 I can't kill him? But I can't him as a person, Yes, 771 00:55:04.159 --> 00:55:07.800 But he's like, but I can't kill him because that's not what I believe. 772 00:55:07.960 --> 00:55:09.920 I need peace. I want to I want to bring peace, and 773 00:55:10.039 --> 00:55:14.239 even his team, his squad, I mean, there's like this, it's 774 00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:17.360 it's sort of like the harmonic convergence. You know where there's this great Susan's 775 00:55:17.400 --> 00:55:21.559 comment that comes by and during this day that this comet is in the sky. 776 00:55:21.719 --> 00:55:23.760 O'zi's power is like a thousandfold. So it's like, bro, if 777 00:55:23.760 --> 00:55:27.599 you don't kill him, how are you gonna beat him? And Aang is 778 00:55:27.679 --> 00:55:30.920 so distraught on his spiritual mission to bring peace and not to harm and not 779 00:55:31.039 --> 00:55:36.639 to kill that he goes and masters the fifth element of spirit and learns to 780 00:55:36.760 --> 00:55:39.960 bend with spirit so as to resolve the conflict with peace and doesn't even kill 781 00:55:40.000 --> 00:55:44.039 him. He spares him. He just takes him, takes away what makes 782 00:55:44.079 --> 00:55:47.800 them him. Yeah, it's like his power right yeah, yeah, via 783 00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:52.519 via spirit bending. Yeah, he just closed off his connection to his element. 784 00:55:52.159 --> 00:55:58.000 Oh talk about you know spiritual? Well, actually was the answer. 785 00:55:58.480 --> 00:56:00.079 That's the funny thing this is that, you know, the whole fifth element 786 00:56:00.159 --> 00:56:04.480 thing is straight out of Buddhism, you know that, right, Yeah, 787 00:56:04.679 --> 00:56:09.239 But it's also out of Western the topest spirit. The four elements themselves are 788 00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:13.039 a key component of Buddhist religion. Fire, earth, water, and air 789 00:56:13.159 --> 00:56:22.280 considered to be the four of five great elements or mahab mahaputa. I like 790 00:56:22.360 --> 00:56:29.519 that that exists physically, but also represent basic human functions. The fifth element 791 00:56:29.840 --> 00:56:37.639 Akasha spirit, which is the Sanskrit term that loosely translates to ether, quintessence 792 00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:40.320 or spirit. Yeah, or space, yes, space. That was another 793 00:56:40.360 --> 00:56:45.239 one in there. Akasha. You know Veda kashik record. Yeah, that's 794 00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:51.119 where kashik comes from. Akasha. It's a Sanskrit word. The spirit records. 795 00:56:52.199 --> 00:56:55.320 Yes, yes, it sounds like that. Sounds like a shitty animal 796 00:56:57.559 --> 00:57:00.199 spirit records. That's right, it's the spirit world where they believe. There's 797 00:57:00.239 --> 00:57:04.880 some underground label company in fact records. I like that. You know. 798 00:57:04.960 --> 00:57:09.239 Ireveda like like mudras, you know, it's like it's like the sister component 799 00:57:09.320 --> 00:57:14.239 to Hinduism or Yoga. Irveda is like the science of the energy channels and 800 00:57:14.320 --> 00:57:17.719 mudras and things like that. And it's like the thumb is fire, the 801 00:57:17.800 --> 00:57:22.599 pointer finger is air, the middle finger is a kash or space or spirit, 802 00:57:23.119 --> 00:57:29.000 the ring finger is earth, and the pinky is water. And the 803 00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:32.400 mudra system the entirety of it is like, Okay, you combine fire with 804 00:57:32.599 --> 00:57:37.159 space, it has a certain effect. Excuse me, air. You combine 805 00:57:37.320 --> 00:57:40.760 you combine fire with space or spirit, it has an effect. Combine fire 806 00:57:40.880 --> 00:57:45.360 with earth combined fire with water and so on. Maybe maybe you want to 807 00:57:45.400 --> 00:57:51.119 combine water, earth and fire. And you know, I can't sit here 808 00:57:51.119 --> 00:57:52.639 and explain to you all the effects that they're believed to have. But it's 809 00:57:52.679 --> 00:57:55.800 like the whole system is based on the five elements. Yeah, you know, 810 00:57:57.480 --> 00:57:59.880 on the five Yeah, and it just happens to be Oh, thanks, 811 00:58:00.000 --> 00:58:02.440 Alex. He's just Alex. Don't you flash your element to the camera. 812 00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:09.480 He was holding up his spirit finger at me. Oh dude, you 813 00:58:09.559 --> 00:58:14.000 you hockey show came out this week. I gotta catch Oh yeah, A 814 00:58:14.000 --> 00:58:15.199 lot of people been saying good things about it. Yeah, really, Yeah, 815 00:58:15.920 --> 00:58:20.239 you watched the live action one piece? Right, I did all of 816 00:58:20.280 --> 00:58:23.840 it. It was tight is so and made me feel like a kid. 817 00:58:23.960 --> 00:58:27.719 It was Honestly, I was surprised, Alex. I feel like you should 818 00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:32.079 watch that, the live action one piece. Thanks, thanks buddy, I 819 00:58:32.199 --> 00:58:38.159 appreciate that. Weren't there also characters in Avatar that like had third eye when 820 00:58:38.199 --> 00:58:44.039 they there was a dude was talking about combustion, man combustion. He combined 821 00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:49.760 air and fire. I thought there was also a woman fire bender. That's 822 00:58:51.119 --> 00:58:54.400 that's actually is it the first season or second? Because I feel like I 823 00:58:54.519 --> 00:58:59.280 saw that, I thought, I'm pretty sure that was the fire beIN. 824 00:59:00.960 --> 00:59:05.039 I think the fire Bender part is a here squad. Honestly, I just 825 00:59:05.400 --> 00:59:07.440 was in chorus that's like, yeah, yeah, I had a thought. 826 00:59:07.480 --> 00:59:12.239 That's like Shiva Shiva in the third eyes, you know, like Shiva in 827 00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:17.599 Hinduism is uh. It takes on this like archetype that they called the destroyer, 828 00:59:17.679 --> 00:59:22.239 Shiva the destroyer, and when Shiva like opens that state, the third 829 00:59:22.320 --> 00:59:24.360 eye opens, right. I didn't. I didn't realize that, But that's 830 00:59:24.400 --> 00:59:29.480 cool. There's so many Hinduism, Buddhism, Dowism. What were you gonna 831 00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:31.440 say? I was just gonna say, as an advertisement to Alex, you 832 00:59:31.480 --> 00:59:36.559 know, someone who's never seen Kora, it can be daunting for it took 833 00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:38.159 me. When did it even come out? I mean it was, Oh, 834 00:59:38.480 --> 00:59:43.760 we were older. We were probably collegeen sixteen or had to be earlier. 835 00:59:43.840 --> 00:59:46.119 Du twelve maybe yeah, twelve or thirteen. Yeah, let's see, 836 00:59:46.519 --> 00:59:50.280 it's just got to get a little older. It is older. Yeah, 837 00:59:51.320 --> 00:59:53.480 it's like ten years or more. But listen, my point is like I 838 00:59:53.559 --> 00:59:57.239 get it. Like I was one of those people who was like it could 839 00:59:57.360 --> 01:00:00.079 never be as good as the original. Why waste my time. But you 840 01:00:00.159 --> 01:00:02.320 actually watch it, man, it feels identical to the original show. It's 841 01:00:02.360 --> 01:00:07.000 the same creators, it has the same it's a quicker pace. They're shorter 842 01:00:07.119 --> 01:00:12.760 episodes per season. It has the same impact of the humor. It has 843 01:00:12.800 --> 01:00:19.280 the same Impactlin's like, it's Oh, Aubrey Plaza, the little like she's 844 01:00:19.320 --> 01:00:23.039 one of those twins that you didn't know. They're really like emo kind of 845 01:00:23.119 --> 01:00:27.320 girl that's like in love with Bolin, you know, and she's like obsessed 846 01:00:27.360 --> 01:00:31.079 with him. That's Aubrey Plaza. About the voice the voice actors for the 847 01:00:31.119 --> 01:00:34.800 show later, because there's so many, Yeah, I'm not I'm only aware 848 01:00:34.800 --> 01:00:40.639 of that. Oh my rom Pearlman voices. He voiced a young Susan What 849 01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:46.480 yeah, Susan. Yeah, yeah, because that was Zeko's dad's grandfather. 850 01:00:46.639 --> 01:00:50.559 Yes. Is that one of those things where he's like a fan and he 851 01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:52.199 wanted maybe he could have been I think so, because I know he did 852 01:00:52.239 --> 01:00:54.559 that with Halo. He was like a fan of Halo and he was like, 853 01:00:54.599 --> 01:00:57.880 I want to come to voices. He's a great voice. And then 854 01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:01.239 Mark, Yeah, more Hamil did what you call it Zuko's dad. He 855 01:01:01.280 --> 01:01:07.079 played Zuko's dad, what camel No, Yeah, yeah, if you hear 856 01:01:07.159 --> 01:01:09.679 his voice, I hear it now. I felt like I knew that in 857 01:01:09.800 --> 01:01:13.719 the deep recesses of my mind. I hear it now. Yeah, dude. 858 01:01:13.719 --> 01:01:15.719 There's a lot of guest voice, Like, like I think there's like 859 01:01:15.800 --> 01:01:17.480 things you can watch that where they go over a lot of the guest vocals 860 01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:21.119 that were in there. The heat, man, they had a lot of 861 01:01:21.159 --> 01:01:23.719 heat. I'm just saying, bro, like the the you know, you 862 01:01:23.840 --> 01:01:30.559 can never touch the the original essence of Avatar the Last Airbender. But I'm 863 01:01:30.679 --> 01:01:36.679 just saying, bro, Cora comes damn close. Like it feels it has 864 01:01:36.719 --> 01:01:39.159 the same energy, Yeah, the same, It has the same quality. 865 01:01:39.280 --> 01:01:44.280 The conflict for me is just way more something you can resonate with a lot 866 01:01:44.360 --> 01:01:46.960 more, really, yeah, because like she goes through things of feeling lost, 867 01:01:47.599 --> 01:01:52.719 feeling worthless, feeling out of place, and that's like something like especially 868 01:01:52.760 --> 01:01:54.360 I think around that time, we were like older teenagers, so it's like 869 01:01:54.800 --> 01:01:58.920 those are things you can easily connect with as you're growing up like that it 870 01:01:59.039 --> 01:02:00.480 kind of like grew with yeah, because like you you know, eventually you 871 01:02:00.519 --> 01:02:02.840 get to a point sometimes maybe for like you lose your place in life. 872 01:02:02.840 --> 01:02:06.239 And you don't know where you're at and you try to figure that out, 873 01:02:06.239 --> 01:02:08.320 and that that show is about figuring out her place in the world. You 874 01:02:08.440 --> 01:02:12.559 know. That fits into all the chaos that's that's happening. That's right. 875 01:02:12.679 --> 01:02:16.360 When the show starts, she's like very like, very angsty, angry, 876 01:02:16.480 --> 01:02:22.960 and very aggressive with everything. She's aggressed through it all. She's very aggressive, 877 01:02:22.079 --> 01:02:24.679 right, yeah, exactly. She likes straight out the gate like does 878 01:02:24.719 --> 01:02:29.960 fire bending right like, which she does three. The only thing she doesn't 879 01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:31.280 do is air bend, right, Yeah, you can't airbend. She could, 880 01:02:31.320 --> 01:02:34.199 That's why she goes to ten Zen. It's the only thing she can't 881 01:02:34.199 --> 01:02:35.920 do. Yeah, because she could not figure it out, that's right, 882 01:02:36.039 --> 01:02:37.840 Yeah, she I mean, you can tell those she didn't embody air bending 883 01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:43.239 whatsoever. We didn't even really discuss this at length. It's not a big 884 01:02:43.320 --> 01:02:47.280 deal, but it's cool because in the context of the show, the original 885 01:02:47.320 --> 01:02:51.679 show of The Last Airbender, every time a masters a new element, there's 886 01:02:51.880 --> 01:02:55.559 a new spiritual or emotional philosophy he has to master. Yeah, you know, 887 01:02:57.039 --> 01:03:00.679 like with with uh, with water, we just cuss this already. 888 01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:05.519 It's a motion. What was it with Earth? Was opposite he had to 889 01:03:05.599 --> 01:03:08.639 stand stand his ground. Yeah, like as be grounded and assertive. And 890 01:03:09.079 --> 01:03:13.159 what what was it with fire? Uh? Well fire with him was being 891 01:03:13.159 --> 01:03:15.719 able to control it and not not to harm it and not harm in it. 892 01:03:15.880 --> 01:03:20.559 Yeah, so to harm anybody else. Yeah, and that was good. 893 01:03:20.599 --> 01:03:22.039 That was the episode with the dancing. They learned that. They learned 894 01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:25.239 that life, it doesn't have to always mean death. It doesn't have to 895 01:03:25.639 --> 01:03:30.360 always be that. It doesn't have to be the black and the blue flame 896 01:03:30.639 --> 01:03:45.239 exactly and be the white flame from the episode from from the Yeah, you 897 01:03:45.320 --> 01:03:51.840 want to stand by that? All right? Let me stop, So I 898 01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:53.840 want to I want to take it to an episode in in atl A. 899 01:03:54.400 --> 01:04:00.440 Okay, okay. So it's the Book of Earth and they're flying over the 900 01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:04.800 swamp and he's getting drawn on that one, getting drawn in and he's like 901 01:04:05.440 --> 01:04:10.559 he's hearing this song or this voice telling him to go down, and Opa 902 01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:14.039 is slowly going down, going down, going down, and then woomb he 903 01:04:14.199 --> 01:04:18.360 ends up. I think what they get stuck in the web, they get 904 01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:23.360 separated, and then the swamp people take Opa or something like that. Were 905 01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:27.679 awesome. Yeah, yeah, it's an interesting thought. So basically what he 906 01:04:27.800 --> 01:04:31.599 learns is they they make their way through the swamp to the Tree of Life, 907 01:04:31.840 --> 01:04:34.599 the one tree that all the rest of the swamp, you know, 908 01:04:34.800 --> 01:04:40.519 comes from, and then he's able to use his avatar power to trace the 909 01:04:40.800 --> 01:04:45.880 roots of the tree to determine that all is one. Oh, that's right, 910 01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:51.880 that's right. Doing that, he locates Opa, you know, the 911 01:04:51.960 --> 01:04:58.719 hillbilly from that like swamp is the one that told him all that individually. 912 01:04:58.840 --> 01:05:00.920 That's where I'm getting with that explanation. Yes, this is what I'm getting. 913 01:05:01.400 --> 01:05:04.239 And this I'm going to tell you the note that I have written down 914 01:05:04.280 --> 01:05:08.880 here because me and Olivia we're talking about this, and the note is that 915 01:05:09.079 --> 01:05:18.039 God is in the South. And what I mean, no, no, 916 01:05:18.119 --> 01:05:21.400 no, okay, it's really funny. That's the most powerful thing you've ever 917 01:05:21.440 --> 01:05:30.320 said. Think about this. These people are in the swamp and so disconnected 918 01:05:30.400 --> 01:05:38.119 from everything else, so disconnected from civilization. They're made to be hillbillies. 919 01:05:38.320 --> 01:05:42.400 You would look at them and think these people aren't smart at all. But 920 01:05:42.599 --> 01:05:47.119 they're sitting here in the swamp so connected with nature, so connected with God 921 01:05:48.440 --> 01:05:53.920 that they just are able to effortlessly bend the swamp, live in harmony with 922 01:05:54.079 --> 01:05:59.280 the swamp, and then teachang a valuable lesson. And then it's like that 923 01:05:59.679 --> 01:06:03.719 movie on by moving on, let the hillbilities. Do those dudes bend the 924 01:06:03.800 --> 01:06:08.719 water in the vines? Oh? Yeah, yeah, the water. So 925 01:06:08.840 --> 01:06:12.159 they they're very intelligent, man, those dudes. Those dudes are cool. 926 01:06:12.360 --> 01:06:15.559 So and it takes me back to a couple of episodes ago when we were 927 01:06:15.559 --> 01:06:17.199 talking. It was just thinking of a spirit science because we were talking about 928 01:06:18.159 --> 01:06:23.119 you get so spirit or you get so scientifically advanced, it's hard to find 929 01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:28.280 the spirit. But if you go back in history, people were so spiritually 930 01:06:28.400 --> 01:06:31.239 advanced they found the science. Uh huh huh. So I think this is 931 01:06:31.320 --> 01:06:38.480 a case where they're so spiritually advanced they're teaching themselves the science of how things 932 01:06:38.480 --> 01:06:40.880 are connected, of how things are connected yea, and how they can work 933 01:06:40.920 --> 01:06:45.960 together swamp people. And it's like, that's just a it's just a small 934 01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:51.679 what allegory to like these collective consciousness to cultures and like think of think of 935 01:06:51.880 --> 01:06:57.960 indigenous cultures who are so connected to the earth. But you you would look 936 01:06:58.039 --> 01:07:03.119 at them from our you know, apartment in Manhattan. Oh what what poor 937 01:07:03.239 --> 01:07:08.159 people? You know, their life must suck when really they're so tapped in 938 01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:12.360 and so at peace with the world. They understand it far more than anybody 939 01:07:12.400 --> 01:07:15.800 else. I don't want to like Skyscraper, I don't want to like, 940 01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:17.559 you know, brag or anything. But what comes to my mind is my 941 01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:23.239 dad. You know, he's he's just a good old country boy out there, 942 01:07:23.360 --> 01:07:27.079 you know, seeing some spiritual phenomenon that like people around the world are 943 01:07:27.119 --> 01:07:30.079 like desperate to see. And you know, we get thousands of people being 944 01:07:30.119 --> 01:07:30.480 like I want to see him. I want to see him. What do 945 01:07:30.599 --> 01:07:32.840 I do? What's the protocol, what's the secret? What's this? What's 946 01:07:32.920 --> 01:07:35.280 that? You know? You got History Channel crew coming and bringing cameras. 947 01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:38.119 We want to catch it. We're gonna want to catch it. We get 948 01:07:38.159 --> 01:07:40.719 people in the CIA telling us that won't it won't let us catch it, 949 01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:43.079 Like what do we do? You know? And it's just like, oh, 950 01:07:43.119 --> 01:07:47.480 you know, just just chill out, just pray. It's that simple. 951 01:07:48.519 --> 01:07:51.719 It's all there is to it, you know what I mean? Like 952 01:07:54.199 --> 01:07:58.079 it stop doing Yeah, rends. I'm gonna tell a story from my childhood, 953 01:07:58.079 --> 01:08:01.159 if that's let's go. So I was playing baseball and I was terrible 954 01:08:01.199 --> 01:08:05.360 at hitting, and so I called my cousin, who's a fantastic baseball player. 955 01:08:05.400 --> 01:08:08.119 I said, yo, man, my dad did. He's like, 956 01:08:08.159 --> 01:08:10.079 hey, he needs some help with hitting. So I get on the phone 957 01:08:10.119 --> 01:08:12.440 with him. He's like, look, I'm gonna be there in an hour. 958 01:08:12.840 --> 01:08:15.039 I need a left shoe, a ping pong ball, a golf club, 959 01:08:17.039 --> 01:08:19.760 a T shirt, and all this stuff. And I'm thinking, what 960 01:08:20.039 --> 01:08:24.079 in the world what's he doing. So I'm going around my house getting this 961 01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:28.560 random list of crap. Okay, I'm like freaking out, Gotta get all 962 01:08:28.600 --> 01:08:30.159 this stuff, gotta get all this stuff.

He's like, all right, 965 01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:38.399 cool, grab the golf club. Then he had me turning around and we 966 01:08:38.479 --> 01:08:41.319 were hitting with the small end of the golf club and I'm like, we're 967 01:08:41.359 --> 01:08:44.439 going through all this stuff and I'm like, man, why did you have 968 01:08:44.600 --> 01:08:46.600 me grab all this other stuff? He's like, just to get your mind 969 01:08:46.640 --> 01:08:54.199 off everything? What do you mean, get your mind off hitting, get 970 01:08:54.239 --> 01:08:57.640 your mind off how you're gonna do it was just to get your mind off 971 01:08:57.720 --> 01:09:00.000 of what we were going to do today.

I 987 01:10:16.760 --> 01:10:23.680 think he's the allegory of job, just like ship is just constantly dumped on 988 01:10:23.760 --> 01:10:27.119 his ass. Bro. How about soccer with the glow up with the meteor 989 01:10:27.239 --> 01:10:31.640 sword, he actually becomes a That sword was hard. He becomes a g 990 01:10:31.880 --> 01:10:35.039 in the end, he does like for real. His transition was great because 991 01:10:35.119 --> 01:10:38.520 there was a point where he wasn't feeling too great. It was useless and 992 01:10:38.640 --> 01:10:43.159 he felt useless around everything bending and then he had his whole moment of learning, 993 01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:45.239 Oh I am resourceful, Oh I'm intelligent, I'm a martial arts master, 994 01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.279 and I have a sword. I mean it was like, yeah, 995 01:10:48.359 --> 01:10:51.319 he was very down on himself and whatever, and then like he had to 996 01:10:51.479 --> 01:10:56.560 learn, Like do you remember like the beginning of that episode the Koshi wore, 997 01:10:56.920 --> 01:11:00.000 like when he the sword episode when he mentioned when you met the teacher, 998 01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:01.279 the swords and teacher, and how like he would tell me, oh, 999 01:11:01.319 --> 01:11:04.359 I haven't taught anybody in such a long time. Yeah nobody's been worthy 1000 01:11:04.399 --> 01:11:08.000 blaha blah blah blah blah. And then you know, Soccer goes, well, 1001 01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:10.399 you know, I don't think I am worthy. He's like, you 1002 01:11:10.439 --> 01:11:13.600 know, he humbles himself in that moment, and that's how he was able 1003 01:11:13.680 --> 01:11:18.840 to get the knowledge separated, separated them. Well, they all go through 1004 01:11:18.880 --> 01:11:21.199 that, Oh yeah, they all go through him. I wanted to mention 1005 01:11:21.319 --> 01:11:25.640 it too, because they all go through something man like ya, Tara, 1006 01:11:26.159 --> 01:11:30.199 Like I remember, we haven't even talked enough about talk. We haven't got 1007 01:11:30.319 --> 01:11:32.159 to talk about We got to come back to this. Yeah, let's come 1008 01:11:32.199 --> 01:11:35.199 back to it right now, you know, you know we should really what 1009 01:11:35.359 --> 01:11:40.600 we should do is we should all watch Cora and it's much shorter, way 1010 01:11:40.640 --> 01:11:46.720 shorter.
