Speaker 1: Let's move on, let's just go. So it's twenty twenty five. Yeah,
Speaker 1: how unbelievable. Yeah, and I really thought, I mean, this
Speaker 1: is just something that we've done pretty much every year.
Speaker 1: I thought it'd be cool to talk about some of
Speaker 1: our highlights for the year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, of course, it's always a good it's it's the
Speaker 3: opportune moment in general.
Speaker 2: To look back on your last year.
Speaker 3: But ever since we started doing the show, it's nice
Speaker 3: to use that excuse to look at how we've grown
Speaker 3: in the past year on our show, and and like,
Speaker 3: you know, the things that we've accomplished and the things
Speaker 3: were happy for and YadA, YadA, YadA, and all that
Speaker 3: good stuff and very well good Thank you Mary beethamus.
Speaker 1: Sick a nose dive and in there, and I was
Speaker 1: talking when.
Speaker 3: I just wanted to tie it up with a nasty,
Speaker 3: stinky little bow.
Speaker 1: It was very sentimental for a second. Yeah, it just
Speaker 1: you know, fell hit the nails.
Speaker 2: On my brain, nails on the chalkboard.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, we've had a lot of growth this year. It's
Speaker 1: been it's been an incredible year. Came out with a
Speaker 1: new show, had a huge growth to our discord. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like hunt like it pretty much doubled this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah it Yeah, Yeah, I don't even know if we
Speaker 3: were at three hundred like last year.
Speaker 1: I don't know we might have been, but maybe now
Speaker 1: we're I think I looked today it was like six
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty seven. Yeah, wild something like that. Crazy,
Speaker 1: it is wild.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we've accomplished a ton and then two festivals, Yeah
Speaker 3: in one year, two massive successful festivals that were like
Speaker 3: so much fun and like transformative for our lives.
Speaker 1: Between that and between the two festivals, like collectively throughout
Speaker 1: those weekends, dude, we probably saw like I mean, y'all
Speaker 1: were there the whole time the first one I wasn't there,
Speaker 1: probably saw like five hundred people.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I had to have we talked a whole weekend, right,
Speaker 3: We had to have met five hundred armies this year
Speaker 3: in person, think some of.
Speaker 1: Them repeats between both weekends.
Speaker 3: But still, like, think about that, Think about how crazy
Speaker 3: that is that we have now met hundreds of our
Speaker 3: fans in person that we couldn't say that last year.
Speaker 1: I signed one hundred percent more books than I ever
Speaker 1: have in my life.
Speaker 3: I know that I all have ment that I absolutely
Speaker 3: never expected. No, I was signing books like.
Speaker 1: That is crazy when you think about it. Like last year,
Speaker 1: I think we met two people. Yeah it was Ryan Cott,
Speaker 1: Ryan and k and very cool people.
Speaker 3: When we had them on the show.
Speaker 1: We were so moved by meeting them. And this year
Speaker 1: it's like we've met hundreds, literally hundred skywatched with them
Speaker 1: and out with them, Yeah, hung out with them, in
Speaker 1: lunch with them, Yeah, dinner with six solid days like Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
Speaker 1: well straight up yeah, yeah, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, two weekends
Speaker 1: in a row, second time in a row.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's really like it's a privilege that we got
Speaker 3: the opportunity to do that. And it also obviously just
Speaker 3: puts the what we do into perspective in like a
Speaker 3: really amazing way that you can it's it's tangible and
Speaker 3: you can feel the gratitude for it. And yeah, so
Speaker 3: having that in twenty twenty four as a brand new
Speaker 3: experience was something I didn't expect.
Speaker 1: Our website has grown tremendously as of last month, which
Speaker 1: you know, even though this is during in January. We
Speaker 1: are recording it in December because we have to prepare
Speaker 1: for us to actually enjoy the holidays without you guys
Speaker 1: missing a beat, right, Right. So, as of last month
Speaker 1: in November, I think we had like six or seven
Speaker 1: products on our store and now we have like, sheesh,
Speaker 1: like twenty yeah, twenty thirty. Like it was a huge
Speaker 1: jump there, and we grinded really hard for a few
Speaker 1: months to get all that stuff together and that was
Speaker 1: really rewarding doing all that work and then just releasing
Speaker 1: it to the world. And that's exciting. And I feel
Speaker 1: like we've grown in every avenue. Our views are up,
Speaker 1: our content is up. I think we have gotten a
Speaker 1: lot of comments this year about the increase in our
Speaker 1: content and like the quality of it. Yeah, and I
Speaker 1: just feel like our process has increased. You moved here,
Speaker 1: there's a lot of things. Alex got married.
Speaker 3: Yeah, It's it's interesting, like, think where we were, what
Speaker 3: is it, December twelfth, twelfth, Where were we December twelfth,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three. Yeah, think about where we were in
Speaker 3: our lives.
Speaker 1: We were talking about the stuff that we're implementing right now. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the show.
Speaker 3: We were also we were talking about it as like dreams. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we were talking about it when you live, as like
Speaker 3: ideal eventuality, like not like planning it per se, more
Speaker 3: so like talking about you know, our big goals, big dreams,
Speaker 3: and in a year we've accomplished all of it.
Speaker 1: This is December sixteenth.
Speaker 3: There you go, look at that same shirt, same same shirt.
Speaker 2: Yep, same exact same shirt.
Speaker 3: Wo. And he did get a hat last year, so yeah,
Speaker 3: you know what, it's our turn this year.
Speaker 1: He's he got hats. When I was downstairs getting water,
Speaker 1: I got okay, okay, so good and it won't happen again.
Speaker 2: It won't, it won't.
Speaker 3: He needs them.
Speaker 1: But then I hand him a hat and he takes
Speaker 1: it off. So it's like, did I waste the money?
Speaker 1: I've got to do my job here? What is our
Speaker 1: job other than having fun listening to what you're saying
Speaker 1: at a high rate of quality with headphones on? Did that?
Speaker 1: Did it finally die?
Speaker 3: What? I saw that on Austin Powers? Dude? I had
Speaker 3: to say that.
Speaker 1: Wow, Ude'm trying to loosen you up, massage your spirit,
Speaker 1: add a little oil too.
Speaker 3: Honestly, whatever you're trying to do to him, that's not working.
Speaker 3: Is rickicheing and hitting deep because I feel lubed up
Speaker 3: and loosey goosey, right, good good, I feel happy, good man.
Speaker 1: This time has some fun for the first time. Right,
Speaker 1: doesn't it sound great?
Speaker 2: That sounds great? I mean I've had fun before, but.
Speaker 3: Just the way that you said it so emphatically, like
Speaker 3: it sounds great? What does it mean.
Speaker 1: Today? Last year I got my marine electronics installer certification. Damned,
Speaker 1: I'm going back in my pictures.
Speaker 2: How about that, dude, that's a good idea.
Speaker 3: I want to see what I was doing on December
Speaker 3: tw I want to do it too.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna while y'all are looking, I'm gonna talk Alex
Speaker 1: highlights of the year. Okay, Yeah, And for me, it
Speaker 1: was really just the fall. I had a banger of
Speaker 1: a schedule, had my birthday, got married, went to France,
Speaker 1: came back and it was riverfest like immediately, and that
Speaker 1: those were like a big four right in line with
Speaker 1: each other and no breaks. That was pretty sick, not
Speaker 1: even while a sick lineup. And then obviously we crashed
Speaker 1: after that because you know, homegirl at home is what's
Speaker 1: the line from Friends? I'm not a bride anymore. I'm
Speaker 1: just someone's wife. I haven't so, you know, all that
Speaker 1: nothing to look forward to. But I haven't really felt
Speaker 1: a lot of that. I've just kind of been doing
Speaker 1: my thing. So yeah, killer fall, moving into the winter.
Speaker 1: I hate winner. I hate when the sun goes down early.
Speaker 3: Dude. This is the first year where I am so
Speaker 3: angry at the winter, like I I traditionally love the winter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like old man yells at wind.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you know what, it's not the weather, It's
Speaker 3: not the cold, the freaking sun. Daylight savings time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: just daylight saving I.
Speaker 1: Want to I want to grab the sun and tie
Speaker 1: it to my front porch so it can't set.
Speaker 3: Dude, I cannot believe that, like daylight saving time still exists,
Speaker 3: and it's infuriating. Did we talk about, like you know
Speaker 3: that Arizona just like doesn't observe it.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's which makes them weird because they're
Speaker 1: the only ones I know.
Speaker 3: You know. What's funny too, is that over Thanksgiving I
Speaker 3: met some of I don't know, I guess they would
Speaker 3: be considered my in laws. Like, okay, so Casey's dad's
Speaker 3: in laws, Casey's.
Speaker 1: Dad's I don't I don't really.
Speaker 3: Know parents in law, you know what I'm saying. Yeah,
Speaker 3: anyway there from Arizona. I was like, so, you guys
Speaker 3: just don't do daylight saving time and they're like, yeah, no,
Speaker 3: we never have. It's like they're like, but it's honestly
Speaker 3: confusing because if we want to work, because it's so
Speaker 3: it doesn't.
Speaker 1: Like yeah, it's like sometimes they're three hours behind Eastern
Speaker 1: Standard and sometimes they're four, or sometimes there are two.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm not a math guy.
Speaker 3: It is infuriating and I hate it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's really weird.
Speaker 3: But anyway, yeah, they were like, it's actually really difficult,
Speaker 3: like with traveling and stuff, like if we're traveling anywhere,
Speaker 3: we usually inane. Oh yeah, it's insane. And also they're
Speaker 3: like it's hard for us to like know what time
Speaker 3: it's going to be when we arrive places sometimes like
Speaker 3: sometimes we forget to adjust for that.
Speaker 1: Santa gets jet like, no, I think if you end
Speaker 1: up back in the same place at the same day. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think that's true.
Speaker 3: He ends up in the same place. And there's also
Speaker 3: there's also magic involved.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I's why I asked no, excuse me, that
Speaker 1: was good excuse me.
Speaker 3: Now, when Santa goes on vacation in the summertime and
Speaker 3: he goes to the Bahamas, the hotel, the hotel hotel,
Speaker 3: it's in Vegas, in the Mahahaamas in Vegas, he definitely
Speaker 3: gets just jets jest.
Speaker 1: Lagged for sure. No, it's sligh lag right, Okay, I
Speaker 1: don't know.
Speaker 3: I think he probably gives the reindeer magic. Mm hmm.
Speaker 3: It is well to take his work card on his
Speaker 3: vacation trip because work card.
Speaker 1: Does he have a recreation sleigh? I'm sure a private
Speaker 1: jet a magic one.
Speaker 3: He he definitely has, like a recreation sleigh. It's like
Speaker 3: a sedan sleigh.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: A slave, it's an electric it's an e V.
Speaker 2: It's an ev.
Speaker 1: Autopilot two.
Speaker 3: Yeah. No, reindeer.
Speaker 1: That pisses me off. What he's gotta have reindeer their magic.
Speaker 1: The magic is in the reindeer animals.
Speaker 2: Man, Yeah, they're slaves carrots.
Speaker 1: Way prove it. What's your argument The animals are the magic.
Speaker 1: It's just a normal sleigh. You can strap anything to
Speaker 1: the reindeer and it will.
Speaker 2: That's wrong.
Speaker 1: Have you seen elf?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Have you ever seen has a causometer meter?
Speaker 3: Yeah? It does, and have you ever seen it? It's
Speaker 3: based on the belief in Santa, and so the sleigh
Speaker 3: has the magic first of all, idiot. And the other
Speaker 3: thing is, have you ever seen any other Christmas movie
Speaker 3: where he has an endless Christmas bag that that is
Speaker 3: like a black hole?
Speaker 1: Yeah, where it also has a magic seck?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Well that's what I'm talking about. Is this magic seck
Speaker 3: is what I'm talking about. It's endless, and he can
Speaker 3: reach inside of it. And he has millions, literally millions.
Speaker 1: And probably probably billions, let's get back on.
Speaker 3: Probably billions of toys in his infinite black holes sack.
Speaker 3: It's true.
Speaker 1: And in China alone there's a billion people.
Speaker 3: You're right, so he has to have billions of toys
Speaker 3: at least maybe trillion.
Speaker 1: Well, you gotta really think of how many kids because
Speaker 1: the adults aren't getting gifts? Uh? Is that so?
Speaker 3: Because I mean getting gifts some years, Yeah, I get them.
Speaker 1: No, Like I just said, it's just for kids. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's why y'all are getting gifts.
Speaker 3: Well maybe I get him every year, dude, I don't know.
Speaker 1: Someone keeps leaving coal for me.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, you gotta change your attitude, Scrooge.
Speaker 1: He's reformed Scrooge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, now he is.
Speaker 3: Look at his shirt. Yeah it's white. Yeah, before it
Speaker 3: was his black hoodie. Yeah, and now it's white and
Speaker 3: he's enlightened.
Speaker 1: The same sentral though too.
Speaker 3: Yeah it's interesting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so y'all looked back in your pictures. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we were recording so a year ago on this day,
Speaker 1: Angel was here.
Speaker 3: We were recording, yes, for the Avatar, for the Avatar episode.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Also I was playing Valheim. I have screenshots at
Speaker 1: the Valhon on the How is that? So? Then I
Speaker 1: have a picture on the fifteenth Was I.
Speaker 2: Not hereh it's the twelfth.
Speaker 1: I was here for that fifteenth.
Speaker 3: I didn't have a picture from the twelfth, but I
Speaker 3: did have one from the eleventh. And this is this
Speaker 3: is very bittersweet, but it's a picture of a fire
Speaker 3: in my fireplace at the house that I was living
Speaker 3: in a year ago.
Speaker 2: I love it.
Speaker 3: That was that was by far our favorite part of
Speaker 3: having a house. We had that house for I don't know,
Speaker 3: six months, eight months or something, and it was it
Speaker 3: was lovely in a lot of ways. I Mean, we
Speaker 3: were obviously struggling, but like you know, we we weren't
Speaker 3: paying our bills. It was really, really, really a rough time,
Speaker 3: but that house was it was just like it was
Speaker 3: a great situation because we were getting for cheap from
Speaker 3: like a family friend, and it was our first house
Speaker 3: that we ever lived in together. And building those fires
Speaker 3: during the winter was like my favorite thing in the world.
Speaker 3: I'd go outside and chop the wood with an axe
Speaker 3: and bring it inside and build the fire like almost
Speaker 3: every night, and it was it was lovely. So that's
Speaker 3: what I was doing a year ago. But it's like
Speaker 3: bittersweet because that was so cool, and I would love
Speaker 3: to still be able to do fires, but I'm you
Speaker 3: can here, yeah, and I'm in a much better place now.
Speaker 3: You know that that house, it kind of brings up
Speaker 3: some dark kind of memories, dark feelings. We were so
Speaker 3: stressed out, we were so so.
Speaker 1: That's why you got out of there, and you only
Speaker 1: stayed there for such temporary time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, the vibes there, I mean, while it was cozy
Speaker 3: at times, it was ultimately like we were struggling so bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and right after you left it got flooded.
Speaker 3: I know that was.
Speaker 1: If you had stayed there, you'd have been screwed.
Speaker 3: Yes, Oh my god, I don't talk about stress. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I don't know what we would have done, truly, Like
Speaker 3: we probably would have had to move in with like
Speaker 3: one of our parents temporarily or something like that. So
Speaker 3: it's a weird double edged feeling. But ultimately I'm very
Speaker 3: thankful to be where I am now, which is we're
Speaker 3: freaking in Wilmington.
Speaker 1: But dude, I got wood in the back I've got
Speaker 1: a fire pit. I've made my first fire.
Speaker 3: Nice.
Speaker 2: I have an axe in the in the in the backyard.
Speaker 1: No, not in the fire pit. I haven't done that
Speaker 1: yet because it's gas.
Speaker 3: The fireplace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the pit, the place, it's gas, Okay, so I
Speaker 1: don't build the fires in there. They've converted it the.
Speaker 3: Pre dude, Well, we got to start doing some fires.
Speaker 1: I have a pit in the backyard and I've started
Speaker 1: using it, and I have a ton of wood from
Speaker 1: the previous homeowner. I have an axe, I have a hatchet,
Speaker 1: and my parents are gonna get me a chainsaw for Christmas.
Speaker 1: Let's go because I want to make fires.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's so much fun.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's make a fire maybe when I get
Speaker 1: back from the holidays.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would love to.
Speaker 1: I love it. It's it's nice out there. It's cozy.
Speaker 1: It's really cozy.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's just so it's so nice to sit around
Speaker 3: a fire in the wintertime. That's like one of the
Speaker 3: good things about winter.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we take that for granted when we're children, and
Speaker 1: now that we're older, it's like just you remember simple play.
Speaker 3: Remember how many fires we used to have at Casey's house.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, in my house.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it was like every time we went over
Speaker 3: to Casey's house, we were making a fire in the back.
Speaker 3: Pull the fire, yeah, pull and fire exactly. It was
Speaker 3: so much fun. I've always loved sitting around a fire.
Speaker 1: So I found my pictures from this time last year.
Speaker 1: I don't have any of the twelfth, but on the
Speaker 1: eleventh and the thirteenth, I have screenshots of our Valheim server.
Speaker 1: I was Valheimen at this time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and yeah the fifteenth I have that as well.
Speaker 3: The fifteenth.
Speaker 1: So we started a second Valheim server like a day
Speaker 1: or two after I got back from Europe, and honestly,
Speaker 1: I was still burned out and didn't realize it, and
Speaker 1: I was extremely stressed, and I didn't have the emotional
Speaker 1: capacity to commit to the server. So it just kind
Speaker 1: of fell apart. So people played it for like maybe
Speaker 1: another month, and I'm just letting some time pass and
Speaker 1: maybe do another one next year or some thing. I
Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, yeah, the first one was legendary. It
Speaker 1: was epic. Yes, we did it for four or five months,
Speaker 1: like non stop. I just I couldn't get addicted this
Speaker 1: year to it. I just had too much stress on
Speaker 1: my mind and other responsibilities popping up. So yeah, kind
Speaker 1: of hard to recreate that first experience. But this time
Speaker 1: last year we were crushing it.
Speaker 3: In the Yeah. Yeah, and it was a lot of fun.
Speaker 3: M hm. We like for those of you that don't know,
Speaker 3: we like to do that with our with some of
Speaker 3: our fans in our discord, we do little game servers.
Speaker 3: It's a lot of fun. We do Minecraft and Valheim
Speaker 3: and yeah, a couple others.
Speaker 1: I want to do GTA six when it comes out.
Speaker 3: Have a BSS gang, Oh my god. We walk around
Speaker 3: and like beat people into enlightenment.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. Yeah, have a like a legit gang where
Speaker 1: we just kind of roam those servers of g t
Speaker 1: A six.
Speaker 3: Serious blake and I enjoy positivity.
Speaker 1: Dude, We've been talking about this for a year.
Speaker 3: That sounds great.
Speaker 1: We're serious, like we're going to do this.
Speaker 3: That sounds awesome, and that's a game that Alex will
Speaker 3: actually play. Oh oh, he played Minecraft. You were on
Speaker 3: the Minecraft's server for a little bit, the first one.
Speaker 1: At least, dude, GTA six, we all have to play it, like.
Speaker 3: Oh, are you kidding?
Speaker 1: I feel like we can make content content.
Speaker 3: I saw that there are multiple game developers who are
Speaker 3: foregoing announcing their release dates until GDA to see because
Speaker 3: you know, it's supposed to come out next year, So
Speaker 3: they're waiting to announce their games for twenty twenty five
Speaker 3: to see if they if GTA is actually going to
Speaker 3: release in twenty twenty five or if they're going to
Speaker 3: push it back. That's how much of a like a
Speaker 3: stranglehold GTA six has on the world.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Do you hear what they're talking about about the
Speaker 1: possible cryptocurrency within GTA. Yeah, so people were talking about
Speaker 1: at this rate, they've invested billions of dollars integrants without
Speaker 1: a six. So with the relion that crypto is going,
Speaker 1: it would only make sense that the that the money
Speaker 1: in game has some sort of value with a crypto
Speaker 1: and that can transfer into US dollars. And these guys
Speaker 1: are sitting around talking about how the first couple of
Speaker 1: people to make it really big in Grand Theft Auto
Speaker 1: six will have the possibility to potentially turn that into
Speaker 1: a full time job, because if you can buy and
Speaker 1: sell and have a marketplace or goods and services within
Speaker 1: the game, and that that that will transfer into US dollars.
Speaker 3: That would be that would be insanely revolutionary.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and not impossible. Yeah, I mean it's pretty clear
Speaker 1: how possible it is. I feel like every GTA game
Speaker 1: has been insanely revolutionary, every Rockstar game. Yeah, GTA six
Speaker 1: is gonna be insane. I mean if you can't, have
Speaker 1: you played a game prior to Grand Theft out of
Speaker 1: six where there was a stock market five five five
Speaker 1: where there was a stock market and that you could
Speaker 1: affect the stock market to make money, like emulator games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, there there are, there are some minor examples, but no,
Speaker 3: not on that. There's no. Yeah, there's no arguing that
Speaker 3: they've they've pushed the envelope in many ways like oh.
Speaker 1: And I saw a leaked map. Oh really three and
Speaker 1: a half times larger? You never know, No, but when
Speaker 1: they did this for a grand about of five, it
Speaker 1: was pretty spot on. Yeah, with the timing of everything
Speaker 1: the leaked map, there were some real leak three and
Speaker 1: a half times three and a half times larger than Yeah, dude,
Speaker 1: it's like it's in Florida. Yeah, and it's kind of
Speaker 1: shaped like a Florida panhandle. But there's also Vice City,
Speaker 1: which is in Florida. Yeah, and I heard you travel
Speaker 1: somewhere else. I don't know if it's I don't think
Speaker 1: it's a little Santa Maps.
Speaker 3: Oh no, I heard a rumor that you can like
Speaker 3: hop on a plane and go to freaking Liberty.

Speaker 3: That would be nice too.
Speaker 1: I'm excited about the Florida aspect. Yeah, me too.
Speaker 3: I mean it's all honestly, it's it's mostly speculation at
Speaker 3: this point. All we know is it's definitely in Florida
Speaker 3: and Vice City will definitely be a part of it.
Speaker 3: We don't really know Florida.
Speaker 1: You're a girl and two or three? Yeah, at least two.

Speaker 1: That's all I've done. I've beat the story like four times.
Speaker 1: I just love the online too much, dude.
Speaker 2: Yeah, the online was just too enticely.
Speaker 1: Just it's the freedom, just like the role play, the trolleying,
Speaker 1: just the cooperative experience.
Speaker 3: Speaking of role play, I've been playing GTA five this year,
Speaker 3: uh and getting on role play servers and it is
Speaker 3: a whole different experience and honestly the best way that
Speaker 3: sounds really fun. It makes the game like infinitely more
Speaker 3: replayable because you have quite literally like one hundred times
Speaker 3: the amount of things to do, dude.
Speaker 1: Simulators are really fun. They are really really fun.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're a blast.
Speaker 1: It's a new passion of mine as of this year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, simulators are a blast.
Speaker 1: TCG card Shop simulator.
Speaker 3: So much fun. Goaded, Yeah, it's it's goaded.
Speaker 1: Got forty or fifty hours in it in the last month.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I probably have like twenty. It's honestly shocking. It's
Speaker 3: just easy, Like I can turn on a podcast and
Speaker 3: just play that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, you can do work and play it. You
Speaker 1: get it to a point where it's automated and you
Speaker 1: only have to check it like every ten minutes. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just restock and let the employees handle the business.
Speaker 2: Alex has been playing some drive simulator drive.
Speaker 1: I've been I've been in a f as a whole earlier.
Speaker 1: He was like, Ryan, will you play Forza with me?

Speaker 1: I would totally word. I don't have is this flit screen? No,
Speaker 1: you don't have Live, brothers don't. I don't pay for Live,
Speaker 1: just get it.
Speaker 2: It's I don't.
Speaker 1: I've had it. I've had it and twice, and I've
Speaker 1: canceled it twice because I don't play enough to justify
Speaker 1: the twenty dollars a month, sixteen dollars a month for
Speaker 1: game Pass.
Speaker 2: That's Game Pass Ultimate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's I think if you have the PC.
Speaker 3: That's if you have Xbox MPC for just like Xbox
Speaker 3: with with the game Pass and Live it's ten bucks.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I think I think he's right. I'm still telling
Speaker 1: you I don't even get my money's worth it.
Speaker 3: Ten dollars Okay, I mean there's okay, Okay, that's.
Speaker 1: I've just I've canceled it twice because I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I went two months without playing. You know what, that's
Speaker 1: why you need a PC eventually. Bro, Yeah, that's what
Speaker 1: I'm juggling with right now. You don't need Xbox Live anymore.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm juggling with because.
Speaker 3: I still play stuff on game Pass all the time.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, I bought for.
Speaker 1: On game Pass, so it went on sale for thirty
Speaker 1: dollars and I was like, that's two months of game Pass, So.
Speaker 2: Oh, you just bought it.
Speaker 3: I just bought Oh I figured you were.
Speaker 1: So the only two games on my Xbox right now
Speaker 1: are without a five and Forza. But you know what, dude,
Speaker 1: you could just play for and.
Speaker 3: That's true, really is the game of games.
Speaker 1: Yes, but Forza goes with like, yeah, doing the furs
Speaker 1: of stuff is what I do in granted thought it
Speaker 1: like I just drive and mess with cars, and then
Speaker 1: the Forza just takes that to a whole another level.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm I'm talking about. I will go in
Speaker 1: there and adjust the width of my tires. I'll adjust
Speaker 1: the width of my wheelbase, I'll mess with my brakes,
Speaker 1: the stance of the car, because I'll be driving this car.
Speaker 1: I'm like, man, this has way too much power and
Speaker 1: it's not holding through these turns. And then I'll take
Speaker 1: you to the shop and like tweak it and then
Speaker 1: put it back out on the track. I'm like, all right,
Speaker 1: that's a little better. You ever played grant Aarismo Maybe

Speaker 1: what do I care what people think anymore? Every time
Speaker 1: somebody turns on their phone or turns on the news,
Speaker 1: they're seeing aliens, inter dimensional beings orbs, drones, mother ships,
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Why do I care if people think
Speaker 1: I'm crazy? Why do I care what people thinking? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I need a new I want to actually say what
Speaker 1: I want to say and not care and not worry
Speaker 1: so much about people's opinions. Yeah, in all seriousness.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so that's my motto.
Speaker 1: I think twenty twenty five is going to be the
Speaker 1: year where the world just goes rabbit over UFOs.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's already happening right now, dude. I've had people
Speaker 1: texting me from New Jersey being like, I can't sleep
Speaker 1: outside of my house every night. I'm seeing fixed wing
Speaker 1: craft with strange lights on them. I'm seeing orbs, I'm
Speaker 1: seeing lights in the sky. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 1: I'm scared what do I do? Because they like know
Speaker 1: about my story. And I've had people I've had hundreds
Speaker 1: of messages on Instagram, on Twitter, on TikTok, on Facebook,
Speaker 1: on discord, on you name it, what is it? What
Speaker 1: is it? What's your take? What's happening, what's happening, what's happening?
Speaker 1: So it's like it's time to give my take.
Speaker 3: I like it in.
Speaker 1: A different way, Yeah, a different way.
Speaker 3: I like it.
Speaker 1: That's my motto.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, what about yours mine? Hmmm. I think I
Speaker 3: want to actually do the exact opposite of what Alex
Speaker 3: is doing.
Speaker 2: I want to slow down.
Speaker 3: I want to slow my mind down a lot, and
Speaker 3: I want to simplify my life a little bit and.
Speaker 1: Monk mode.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I'm ready to go
Speaker 3: into monk mode because, honestly, like I feel like a
Speaker 3: couple of years ago, I was on that vibe and
Speaker 3: I've just gone through a lot of really stressful and
Speaker 3: borderline traumatic scenarios in the past couple of years, and
Speaker 3: I'm still catching my footing right now, and i think
Speaker 3: I'm just now finally starting to be like, all right, man,
Speaker 3: you got to remember to breathe, like you got to
Speaker 3: remember to chill out, slow down, and appreciate your life
Speaker 3: around you. Like the past year, I've almost felt like
Speaker 3: my life is just like passing before my eyes. Everything's
Speaker 3: moving so quick and I'm like, oh my god, holy shit,
Speaker 3: Like I can't I can't slow down for a second
Speaker 3: and just like appreciate it because my mind is in
Speaker 3: such chaos.
Speaker 1: So yeah, get under some heavy weight, take some deep breaths.
Speaker 3: I've been the gym has been helping a lot, and
Speaker 3: I think that's where this mentality is coming from. It'll
Speaker 3: ground you, oh big time. It grounds me. It grounds
Speaker 3: me in a big way. So I've been Yeah, it's
Speaker 3: been maybe two months now back in the gym and uh,
Speaker 3: just doing really heavy weight lifting and stuff, and it
Speaker 3: really is super grounding and it is the thing that
Speaker 3: I feel like as a person that is very ADHD.
Speaker 3: I feel like I'm always craving, like so much stimulation.
Speaker 3: I need so much stimulation. Like in my free time,
Speaker 3: I'll have like two different kinds of vapes, nicotine, a podcast,
Speaker 3: going playing a video game, like to literally two pairs
Speaker 3: of headphones in at the same time, like just like
Speaker 3: ultra hyper stimulation. When I go to the gym, it's
Speaker 3: like I don't I don't want any of that, like
Speaker 3: at all. Like I don't even listen to music. Sometimes
Speaker 3: I don't even watch my little one piece. Sometimes sometimes
Speaker 3: I literally just want to do nothing but lift weights.
Speaker 3: And that is like so peaceful, good, that's awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 3: So I really just want to slow my mind down
Speaker 3: this year.
Speaker 1: I want to slow I think you'll get there because
Speaker 1: because the reality is, I think twenty twenty four was
Speaker 1: crazy for all three of us, but especially you and
Speaker 1: then especially me too, with buying the new house right
Speaker 1: after you moved here, and I feel like it was
Speaker 1: a very turbulent time of crazy upending change and like
Speaker 1: not having a footing, like you said. But I think
Speaker 1: in the coming year, like you've established yourself this year,
Speaker 1: you're getting through the holidays, and then I think, come
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, you're really going to be locked down.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be a new year. You're gonna come into
Speaker 1: it with a new mindset, You're gonna have a whole
Speaker 1: new position in life. You already do, but then when
Speaker 1: you start a new year, it just psychologically it feels different. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it's I think. I think we're definitely going
Speaker 1: to have a great year. It was one of the
Speaker 1: hardest years of my.
Speaker 3: Life me too.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 3: It was incredibly hard, not just the moving and stuff,
Speaker 3: but then getting here and then having to figure out
Speaker 3: how to make money work. For like six months, it
Speaker 3: was like, oh my god, every day just like how
Speaker 3: are we going to pay our bills? Like all that.
Speaker 3: So it was an incredibly, incredibly hard year. But now
Speaker 3: that I'm on the other side of it, finally I
Speaker 3: know that it was just one of those uncomfortable transformations. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because now we're in a better place than we've been
Speaker 3: in years, like emotionally and financially and spiritually, and we're
Speaker 3: you know, Casey and I, we're like finally finally doing
Speaker 3: great where we can just like breathe and enjoy where
Speaker 3: we're at. It hasn't been like that for years, you know.
Speaker 3: So it's like I'm really appreciating it. And next year,
Speaker 3: twenty twenty five, I just want to slow down and
Speaker 3: continue to appreciate everything around me.
Speaker 1: I think evolution is always uncomfortable with that's by design, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know. Yeah, And like I think the harder it is,
Speaker 1: the greater the transformation, whatever it is, whatever the challenge is,
Speaker 1: whatever the struggle is. And I really do get the
Speaker 1: sense that, like I mean, like at the end of
Speaker 1: the year, you know, the day of Thanksgiving, we launched
Speaker 1: our new tier. We came out with a ton of
Speaker 1: new merch and we are still working on more stuff.
Speaker 1: I just feel like going into the new year, we're
Speaker 1: gonna be sort of stabilized by a lot of this
Speaker 1: new work that we're doing. And I'm not saying like overnight,
Speaker 1: it's gonna you know, pay our bills. It's not what
Speaker 1: I'm getting. I'm just saying it's gonna help propel us forward.
Speaker 1: The growth from all of our new change and hard
Speaker 1: work and the routine we've established, and like the energy
Speaker 1: that we're putting into this, I think it's gonna return
Speaker 1: to us in some way. I think I think twenty
Speaker 1: twenty fives would be awesome.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and like candidly, like it already has been. We've
Speaker 3: reached a point in the podcast where like we make
Speaker 3: a teeny tiny little bit of money now, like like
Speaker 3: individually we started in June, we can afford to like
Speaker 3: kind of pay ourselves a little little tiny bit and
Speaker 3: it's like just enough to like you know, like for me,
Speaker 3: like pay a bill, Like it'll just pay one of
Speaker 3: my bills. So now I'm at a point where like
Speaker 3: the podcast is like paying a bill or two of mine,
Speaker 3: which is unbelievable. Yeah, me, that is like holy shit,
Speaker 3: Like you know, some people would maybe think not much
Speaker 3: of that, but me, I'm like that is unreal. Like
Speaker 3: me sitting in a room in front of cameras and
Speaker 3: a microphone talking to my friends is paying some of
Speaker 3: my bills, Like what and then that money that I
Speaker 3: would be using I can use to I don't know,
Speaker 3: like take my wife out sometimes. Like it's it's like.
Speaker 1: Pay for Alex's leather chaps.
Speaker 2: Yeah, those are expensive.
Speaker 3: Keeps ripping, what's up with that? Yes, he's ripped like
Speaker 3: a few of them, like three pairs in a row
Speaker 3: over a course of like two weeks.
Speaker 1: That's crazy, dude. You can just slow down to Actually.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3: That's why I'm scared of all this speeding up stuff.
Speaker 3: Fast those chaps. Did you get that on camera? Did
Speaker 3: you give no?
Speaker 1: Wow?
Speaker 3: That was so you gotta be faster, bro.
Speaker 1: It's been a r put some crazy voodoo on me earlier?
Speaker 3: Really put some what you said, you put some I
Speaker 3: didn't what you put some crazy voodoo on him?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about?
Speaker 3: That's what he said.
Speaker 1: You said it was going to be here next year.
Speaker 3: You did what you're.
Speaker 2: Talking about, dude, You cursed him.
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you, man, as as as you're senior,
Speaker 1: I just need you to remove the curse.
Speaker 3: As your senior, remove the curse. I just need you
Speaker 3: to remove the voodoo.
Speaker 2: All right, you're ready to remove it.
Speaker 3: I know I know you were. I could feel it coming,
Speaker 3: and I'm sad that it didn't come. No, I would
Speaker 3: have ruined my whole motherfucking life, my whole career.
Speaker 1: Oh something real, No, just just just a little bit
Speaker 1: of a physical comedy.
Speaker 3: I know, maybe the world what you're ready.
Speaker 1: For all this, we'll do it the western esoteric way,
Speaker 1: like doctor Strange, and then we're gonna do like there's
Speaker 1: this guy on TikTok that my sister follows. I think
Speaker 1: his name is Crystal Jesus. He goes, he does like
Speaker 1: raki shit, he like pulls her energy.
Speaker 3: The voodoo is removed.
Speaker 1: You're fine of just saying as you're you're welcome as
Speaker 1: your senior with more lived experience than you have five years.
Speaker 1: It concerns me when you keep saying you want to
Speaker 1: go faster and faster. Dude, it's not the speed that kills.
Speaker 1: Stopping really hard against an object is what kills you.
Speaker 3: It's also the speed. It's also the speed.
Speaker 1: No, going fast as cool. Yeah it's cool, going fastest sick.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when do you remember when Big Z
Speaker 1: was trying to help Cody, Like, yeah, okay, I don't
Speaker 1: even have to say anymore. M h no, I want
Speaker 1: to know what you're going to say. Just look within
Speaker 1: and in terms of you know, I'm not trying to fight,
Speaker 1: I'm not really trying to fight big waves. I'm just saying, man,
Speaker 1: I'm not sometimes grasshopper. You must tame these impulses to
Speaker 1: go fast and do dangerous things for stability and longevity,
Speaker 1: just because you know, I want to go fast. It's fun,
Speaker 1: it's exciting. It's just dangerous, bro, And people die. People
Speaker 1: actually die. I know, people are friends of mine, people
Speaker 1: I know that have actually died on motorcycles or died
Speaker 1: from you know.
Speaker 2: Other stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, I don't want to say it, Okay, okay, So
Speaker 3: but I think it's also a metaphoric. I think, yes,
Speaker 3: it's dangerous. Not about the motorcycle, right, It's not about
Speaker 3: the motorcycle.
Speaker 2: It's about your spirit. Yeah, like it almost like.
Speaker 1: I mean, I feel like y'all are just telling me
Speaker 1: not to go hard in the paint.
Speaker 2: No, what do you mean by you're trying to go
Speaker 2: hard on the paint?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 1: What are you everything? Everything I got going on?
Speaker 2: You can't have everything.
Speaker 1: I just I can pursue it with You can have
Speaker 1: vigor or you can you can That's what I'm trying
Speaker 1: to do.
Speaker 3: You can have a few things and you can appreciate
Speaker 3: them to the fullest.
Speaker 1: That's what I got. Yeah, I got a job, I
Speaker 1: got podcasts. Yeah, hello, a wife, wife, Olivia, and I
Speaker 1: got a motorcycle. It's actually reverse order.
Speaker 2: Oh motorcycle before wow.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Okay, the dog's in there somewhere. Dog falls in with
Speaker 1: wife there somewhere.
Speaker 2: So what more do you want in twenty two?
Speaker 1: I don't want. I want to do all of that
Speaker 1: with it hard. I want to do it with intensity.
Speaker 1: I want to get better at all of it. I
Speaker 1: want to be a better bike rider. I want to
Speaker 1: be a better husband. I want to be a better worker.
Speaker 1: I want to be a better podcaster. I want to
Speaker 1: do more, all of it more. I feel the same way,
Speaker 1: except my things are not necessarily dangerous physical things. They're
Speaker 1: like very public exposing vulnerable things like getting out there
Speaker 1: in a bigger way and telling the story. Also, I'm
Speaker 1: also throwing an idea around about something like that in
Speaker 1: my head. But you know what else we need to
Speaker 1: talk about is time takes away. It's very important, we
Speaker 1: must talk about it. But we are going to Monroe tomorrow. Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: we are, so I would like to talk about pre Monroe. Well,
Speaker 1: let's clarify that we are virtually but still talk about
Speaker 1: going there in our minds.
Speaker 3: We're doing Creation Station tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're doing Creation Station, So by the time we
Speaker 1: come out with another episode, we'll be on the other
Speaker 1: side of that, and hopefully.
Speaker 3: Probably the next episode that we record other than I
Speaker 3: think we have an interview scheduled. Yeah, actually we do
Speaker 3: the next Yeah, we do solo. Like the next just
Speaker 3: Us episode will probably be some sort of debrief about
Speaker 3: the Monroe experience.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I would love that. I didn't think about that. Yeah, idea,
Speaker 1: what you mean, I've said that like three times.
Speaker 2: We're all busy.
Speaker 1: We're all busy. I forget things I say, let alone
Speaker 1: things you say. You know, we all forget. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: the table is just gonna go away. I think that's fine. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you want to be over here with us in the light.
Speaker 3: Okay, So how are we feeling about going into Monroe?
Speaker 1: Boys, I'm a little because of having gone to like
Speaker 1: a physical retreat, I'm a little interested in how the
Speaker 1: virtual experience is going to be. I've only heard great things,
Speaker 1: but it is going to be different. I mean, it'll
Speaker 1: be great, you know, I have no doubt about that,
Speaker 1: But it is a little interesting thinking about like waking
Speaker 1: up at my own house and hopping on the zoom
Speaker 1: and boom we're there. But I know without a doubt
Speaker 1: that the second we start the process, it's just going
Speaker 1: to be a blast the whole way. Yeah, going to
Speaker 1: be very informative, it's going to be very engaging. The meditations,
Speaker 1: I can promise you guys this, I like, literally on god.
Speaker 1: I was never a meditator before Monroe. I was the
Speaker 1: kind of person just like the million, billion, trillion, gazillion
Speaker 1: other people out there who are like, oh, meditation's cool,
Speaker 1: but I got monkey mind. I can't sit still. That's me.
Speaker 1: But it's in their tones, it's in their technology that
Speaker 1: that doesn't apply. It gets you there, and then when
Speaker 1: you're there, they're like, okay, think about this, right, I'll
Speaker 1: think about that.
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like, they get you to the targeted state and then
Speaker 1: they tell you what to do with it. So like,
Speaker 1: if you feel any sort of apprehension in your head,
Speaker 1: like I did going to Gateway, like ooh, this is
Speaker 1: really exciting, but I'm intimidated about the meditation part, just
Speaker 1: forget about it. Just put it out of your head,
Speaker 1: because when you listen to the tones, it's just gonna
Speaker 1: be like a seamless, Like you just get right into
Speaker 1: that state, and you know, you'll get really deep, really fast.
Speaker 1: He'll teach you. I imagine that there's gonna be some
Speaker 1: introductory techniques that will learn, maybe on Friday, you know,
Speaker 1: the first night. But I think it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 1: I think we're gonna all have a lot to gain
Speaker 1: from it.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I'm excited, just wanting to go in with like
Speaker 3: nothing on my mind, like completely blank. That's what I
Speaker 3: told Ignacio when I talked to him, I was like,
Speaker 3: I just want to go in.
Speaker 1: He texted me, by the way, Yeah, he said that
Speaker 1: he met with you and had a really good because
Speaker 1: you were you in case you were the last ones
Speaker 1: he met. Yeah, he met Alex first, then Olivia, then Jenny,
Speaker 1: then me.
Speaker 3: He had some really really he had like some just
Speaker 3: really beautiful kind things to say that like really warmed
Speaker 3: my heart a lot things I didn't really know that
Speaker 3: I needed to hear, but he he yeah, really really
Speaker 3: an incredible guy. But I told him that and he
Speaker 3: was like, that's that's honestly excellent. That's amazing. That's what
Speaker 3: you should do. You should go into this with a
Speaker 3: completely blank slate.
Speaker 1: But he was like, but set attention.
Speaker 3: He was like, but I feel like there's something that
Speaker 3: you want out of this and I was like, well maybe,
Speaker 3: and he was like, well, think about it. I think
Speaker 3: there is something that you want. So what is it? Like,
Speaker 3: what do you think it is? And I told him
Speaker 3: what it was. I don't know if I should share it,
Speaker 3: but I mean, I guess by the time this comes out,
Speaker 3: we will have already done it.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: So I told him that I wanted to find a
Speaker 3: way to like a tool to quickly be able to
Speaker 3: connect to and access creative energy. That was my thing.
Speaker 3: And his response was, oh, you'll be very surprised.
Speaker 1: The good thing about the Monroe experience or just like
Speaker 1: the meditation experience rather, because really whatever state they get
Speaker 1: you to is inherent within all of us, right, they
Speaker 1: just help you get there. It's compounding. So the more
Speaker 1: you experience it, the more you gain from it, the
Speaker 1: more the more easily you can get to it, you
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. So like, basically, the more you practice,
Speaker 1: the more you'll have access to this place, so you'll
Speaker 1: learn techniques that you can replicate at home, and the
Speaker 1: more you do it, you'll get better. There was a
Speaker 1: Cia de classified document on the Gateway thing, because you
Speaker 1: know they did. They sent CIA people to do the
Speaker 1: Gateway experience and they did like full blown reports about it,
Speaker 1: and they pretty much said flat out, like exactly what
Speaker 1: I just said, that it's compounding and they found that
Speaker 1: being in these targeted states for longer periods of time
Speaker 1: has this compounding benefit benefit effect whatever. So yeah, you'll
Speaker 1: learn that, you'll get that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm very excited. It's going to be a blast.
Speaker 3: I can't wait.
Speaker 1: I feel like I was struggling to find the words there,
Speaker 1: but I'm sure what I mean.
Speaker 3: But we've all been in our New Year's hats at
Speaker 3: this point. Yeah, I just didn't. I was the last one,
Speaker 3: and well.
Speaker 1: I honestly accidentally dropped mine and I don't feel like
Speaker 1: getting it for a fourth or fifth time off the ground.
Speaker 1: So yeah, here we are, everybody, Here we are. And
Speaker 1: my new Bloodstoe said, so only society five panny Panny,
Speaker 1: I love my pennies.
Speaker 3: You heard it, folks, Ryan loves his pennies.
Speaker 1: My five panties on my head, I mean looking like
Speaker 1: a beef stick.
Speaker 2: Of beef stick. All right, folks, New Year's.
Speaker 1: Is there anything we missed? I feel like there was
Speaker 1: something that I wanted to say. It's a snake year.
Speaker 1: Oh for real, you know, tell me about it, please?
Speaker 1: I wish I knew more. We'll have to report back
Speaker 1: on that. Yeah. I think it's gonna be an amazing year. Man,
Speaker 1: I think I think that, Like, honestly, I think we're
Speaker 1: on the way up. I think that my resolution. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about resolution. We talked about what we you know,
Speaker 1: you want to slow down, he wants to go faster.
Speaker 1: I want to bear down a knuckle up. Let's talk
Speaker 1: about resolutions, right. My resolution is to just try to
Speaker 1: get out there more confidently, like out there to the public.
Speaker 1: Like I've been making a lot more reels. I've been
Speaker 1: doing a lot of traveling podcast type things this year,
Speaker 1: Like I traveled to do several shows, traveled and recorded
Speaker 1: with Sean Ryan, which I haven't officially acknowledged on the
Speaker 1: show yet. They've been holding that one for a while. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: but we did travel to do the Sean Ryan Show,
Speaker 1: so hopefully that'll be out soon. Yeah, you know, we
Speaker 1: haven't acknowledged that yet. Right. I went and did the
Speaker 1: Digital Social Hour in Vegas with Sean Kelly. Amazing guy.
Speaker 1: He is very cool, and we hit it off, had
Speaker 1: a great time together. I felt a little uneasy after
Speaker 1: recording that one, just because I couldn't remember a lot
Speaker 1: of the stuff that I said. I have this phenomenon
Speaker 1: where I go and I record as a guest on
Speaker 1: someone's show, and then I black out and I don't
Speaker 1: remember what I said afterwards, and I fred it, and
Speaker 1: I fred it and I fread it. But he was
Speaker 1: a great guy, great team, great vibes. We skywashed together
Speaker 1: in the desert, saw three or four streaks. I know
Speaker 1: what it was. I just hope he I hope he
Speaker 1: got what he was looking for. There was a lot
Speaker 1: of air traffic out there and we saw some things.
Speaker 1: But also I feel like he really didn't need much more.
Speaker 1: He was pretty He was pretty content with that, and
Speaker 1: he was really open to it from the start. I
Speaker 1: went to see Matt Bell, who is this guy right
Speaker 1: here of the Limitless podcast. He is the CEO and
Speaker 1: owner of Bells, the retail chain that has been out
Speaker 1: been around for like one hundred and fifteen years, started
Speaker 1: by his great grandfather or great his great grandfather, a
Speaker 1: great great grandfather, I'm not sure, but very cool guy.
Speaker 1: He has an amazing podcast. He's blowing up so fast,
Speaker 1: but I agreed to do his show in March. He
Speaker 1: had like eight thousand subscribers on YouTube, and I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, he's a cool guy. He lives near
Speaker 1: my sister. We hit it off on the phone. I
Speaker 1: was like, yeah, sure, I'd love to come to your show,
Speaker 1: And in my head, I was like, I'll help him out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll get an opportunity to see my sister. But also
Speaker 1: it's like I'll have a cool conversation with somebody and
Speaker 1: maybe I could push people his way. Dude. When I
Speaker 1: got there last week the day I recorded, he had
Speaker 1: thirty three thousand subs and I was like what the
Speaker 1: I was like, dude, how did you blow up so fast?
Speaker 1: You know, I'm like, you're helping me? Yeah, yeah, I'm
Speaker 1: like yeah, this is awesome.
Speaker 3: Wow. You know.
Speaker 1: So it was just really cool, like I went out
Speaker 1: there with a good intention and it ended up being
Speaker 1: me who's gonna be helped from it. You know. It's
Speaker 1: weird how that works. But he's a very cool guy.
Speaker 1: He's a great friend. He has an amazing, amazing show,
Speaker 1: and I just know they're gonna be huge. They're gonna
Speaker 1: blow up, they're gonna take off, and they're gonna eventually
Speaker 1: have millions of views. And I told him, I was like, dude,
Speaker 1: I'm lucky that I got to be here, or like
Speaker 1: the thirty.
Speaker 3: Second episode, that's really cool.
Speaker 1: Think about it. Yeah, thirty something episodes and they're already
Speaker 1: at thirty thousand.
Speaker 3: That's honestly, you see what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Like real, So I told him I was like, bro, like,
Speaker 1: I'm part of history here.
Speaker 3: That's like a thousand subscribers per episode exactly. That's honestly
Speaker 3: super impressive.
Speaker 1: So flew out there last week to do that, had
Speaker 1: an amazing time. We skywatched together for four hours. We
Speaker 1: saw anywhere from fifty to seventy orbs. Wow, mind blowing orbs.
Speaker 1: I talked about some of those on Full Disclosure last week,
Speaker 1: but just to very quickly summarize, we saw orbs split
Speaker 1: apart and go in different directions, appear and reappear, like
Speaker 1: for example, it would start here, it would go here,
Speaker 1: then it would disappear, then it would come back here,
Speaker 1: go up, disappear, start here, go up. And it did
Speaker 1: it like six or seven times, and then on that
Speaker 1: last time when it went up higher and hire it's
Speaker 1: split and Winnet two. We saw that morning. I'm at
Speaker 1: my sister's apartment waking up and we're gonna SkyWatch that night,
Speaker 1: and I wake up to a text from him. He's like,
Speaker 1: what's the significance of the triangle? And I'm like, no,
Speaker 1: D D D D you know, tell them, Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: text him some stuff. I'm like, it's complicated, but blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah. He was like, cool, I've been
Speaker 1: thinking about get a triangle tattooed on my arm. I
Speaker 1: thought that was really fascinating. So then that night when
Speaker 1: we were skywatching, we saw orbs in the formation formation
Speaker 1: of a triangle.
Speaker 2: He was like, dude, he was blown away.
Speaker 1: We saw orbs do like wiggle snake type movements and
Speaker 1: just crazy stuff. Dude, streaks across the sky, flashes, strobes, pulses.
Speaker 1: We saw green, orbs, blue, orbs, white, orbs, orange, orbs.
Speaker 1: I mean, they were blown away and I was blown away.
Speaker 1: Great time. The night before that, I skywatched with Corey
Speaker 1: and Blake, Yeah, which are our two of our Discord mods,
Speaker 1: and it was Blake's first time and we had a
Speaker 1: great time. We also had mind blowing skywatches. I've posted
Speaker 1: some of the footage on my channel. If you see
Speaker 1: orb footage with a watermark of Corey Moufo, that is
Speaker 1: Corey's channel. I would appreciate if you guys would follow her.
Speaker 1: She's legit, she's genuine. She came out, she you know,
Speaker 1: learned about our story, came to the Zella Festival, the
Speaker 1: River Festival, and she just really like dove in head first,
Speaker 1: and she went home and she's been replicating or videos,
Speaker 1: you know, and they're really good videos, like really good
Speaker 1: you know, you know, but I'm telling for them. So
Speaker 1: she made her own channel. She's got a whole watermark situation,
Speaker 1: and I want to kind of push her forward because
Speaker 1: in my mind, the more people out there that come
Speaker 1: and learn from us and go home and they replicate
Speaker 1: it and it's not shy around them and they get
Speaker 1: you know, really good footage, to me, that just that
Speaker 1: that helps spread the knowledge. It helps it signifies that
Speaker 1: this is growing, that it can be taught, it can
Speaker 1: be replicated, it can be shared, right, So like I
Speaker 1: want to share you know, her footage and whoever else
Speaker 1: and then yeah, that summarizes like I've just been traveling
Speaker 1: a lot getting out there recording with other people, making reels,
Speaker 1: and I really just want to like try to push forward,
Speaker 1: like the tip of the speer. This year, more of that, Yeah,
Speaker 1: twenty five, I want to do even more to really
Speaker 1: get that. Yeah, like full time, full speed ahead.
Speaker 3: Hell yeah.
Speaker 1: So what's your resolution?
Speaker 3: My resolution is to be present and be at peace? Hey, amen, short, simple, sweet.
Speaker 3: I struggle a lot, and I have pretty much always
Speaker 3: struggled with being present. I think it's part of ADHD. Yeah,
Speaker 3: And so I am pursuing things right now to try
Speaker 3: and help with my ADHD, things like exercise and trying
Speaker 3: to quit nicotine and trying to quit other crutches that
Speaker 3: I have and just really really try to be present.
Speaker 3: And because I'm truly at peace when I can slow
Speaker 3: down and be present, I feel like I'm almost like
Speaker 3: it's it's I really have to like force myself to
Speaker 3: be present because normally there's just my mind is going
Speaker 3: in so many different directions and there's so many things
Speaker 3: going on, and so I want to just like find
Speaker 3: I'm tired of kind of just sedating myself with this
Speaker 3: or that or appeasing you know, my attention span with
Speaker 3: whatever can occupy it, and I'm ready to just like
Speaker 3: focus on being present and being at peace. That's my resolution.
Speaker 3: I just want that's amazing, be present and be at peace.
Speaker 1: I think if you can be present and you can
Speaker 1: be at piece, you can do anything and you can
Speaker 1: accomplish anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah that's yeah, Yeah, that's kind of what I think too.
Speaker 3: I think it will just bring me back to a
Speaker 3: really comfortable baseline where then I can go from there
Speaker 3: and pursue the things that I want to do and
Speaker 3: get done. I feel like it's so hard for me
Speaker 3: to reach my goals and to do things when I'm
Speaker 3: not present and when my mind is a little chaotic.
Speaker 3: It's it's some people can can be very productive in
Speaker 3: those mindsets. Not me.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 3: I just it's just not the place where I'm my
Speaker 3: most productive, my most at peace. I need. I need
Speaker 3: to be like present and I need to slow things down.
Speaker 3: Might try AHD medication. We'll see. You need to talk
Speaker 3: to a doctor about you need a.
Speaker 1: Central nervous system reset, that's what you need.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So I'm just like I'm ready to put some
Speaker 3: special attention towards meeting those things. Being present, being.
Speaker 1: At peace, when you experience trauma and heavy stress, it
Speaker 1: shocks your nervous system, yeah, and it throws it completely
Speaker 1: out of whack. So whatever way you can, I mean,
Speaker 1: there's many ways to do it, but you can definitely
Speaker 1: reset your nervous system to where it can be meditation,
Speaker 1: It could be you know, medication, it could be a
Speaker 1: large variety of things. But I think like at the
Speaker 1: deep root core of it, that's what you need. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is a nervous system reset. H. I agree, kind of
Speaker 1: shake off a lot of that traumatic energy, yeah, reprogramming
Speaker 1: a little.
Speaker 3: Bit, yeah, and just get into a different state of being.
Speaker 3: I've been like just it's just been just kind of
Speaker 3: for a long time. Just get by, survive, and do
Speaker 3: whatever you got to do to just make it to
Speaker 3: the next day. And I'm like, I'm tired of getting
Speaker 3: by and like, okay, get me to the next day.
Speaker 3: I want to slow down and appreciate where I am
Speaker 3: while i'm here and like enjoy the life that I'm living.
Speaker 3: So like, yeah, I'm I did what I had to
Speaker 3: do to get here, and it was a very stressful
Speaker 3: time doing that. But now that I am here, I'm
Speaker 3: just like vocalizing it and put a lot of attention online.
Speaker 1: Now, how can I enjoy this?
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, I'm here and that I feel that.
Speaker 3: Now, let's slow down, let's shed all of the nervous energy,
Speaker 3: and let's just enjoy being again. Yeah, like you know,
Speaker 3: that's that's what I'm That's what my goal is for
Speaker 3: this year, is to get back to a place where
Speaker 3: I am just in a state of bliss and enjoyment. Peace.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you'll get there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I believe it.
Speaker 1: What about you, Alex? I'm going to kind of reiterate
Speaker 1: myself a little bit, but I've got a project in
Speaker 1: my head that i want to make happen. There's some
Speaker 1: private goals I want to hit, but mainly it's be
Speaker 1: a better husband, be a better be more proficient at
Speaker 1: my job, and be a better podcaster, and then spend
Speaker 1: more time behind bars. What hand bars?
Speaker 3: I knew he meant that. I was like what he loves,
Speaker 3: like shocking language.
Speaker 1: I'm glad that's what you meant, man.
Speaker 3: You know, it's the same thing that you did to
Speaker 3: me earlier with that little joke that you made it me,
Speaker 3: which one I don't even remember.
Speaker 1: You remember, Yeah, he loves that you hit me.
Speaker 3: You hit me with something like I'm glad it finally
Speaker 3: died or something like that. Oh the bug that crawled
Speaker 3: up his ass or something like that. Yeah, yeah, because
Speaker 3: he just did the same thing pretty much got you back.
Speaker 3: Spend more time, like.
Speaker 1: You know, it's a conductor's one man. You just gotta
Speaker 1: keep them. You know.
Speaker 3: We just look over here.
Speaker 1: I love it. More time by the bars, faster, baby,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna call it my lightning mc queen here. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I like that, Kirchow, Baby, life is a highway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you should name your son Kirchow Jones.
Speaker 3: I'll think about that, good child, Jones sean.
Speaker 1: Out that that's that was very short and sweet man.
Speaker 1: And I want to reiterate to you that's how I am, brother,
Speaker 1: I'm concise, short and sweet. Yeah, why say many words?
Speaker 1: What if you do trick? If you finish the scene,
Speaker 1: oh my god, if you finish the scene. Whatever, you
Speaker 1: got something to tell me? Yeah, I just uh, I
Speaker 1: see you getting older son. And and like we had
Speaker 1: a conversation the other day. Man, don't high road me, Boomer.
Speaker 1: It ain't about the high road. It's it's about the
Speaker 1: difference in bling. Because what we have that you don't
Speaker 1: is experiencing a realm beyond your comprehension. And that's what's
Speaker 1: known as the thirties.
Speaker 3: I've been spending this whole time trying to decide if
Speaker 3: I'm on his side or not. I'm not. I'm not
Speaker 3: on his side. I'm not.
Speaker 1: I'm not.
Speaker 3: I can't.
Speaker 1: I was going for doctor e continue going for doctor
Speaker 1: Evil the thirties. No, But like I'm just saying.
Speaker 3: Man, a realm beyond his comprehension.
Speaker 1: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: How old do you think he is? I know how
Speaker 3: old he is.
Speaker 1: How he's twenty six? You know what's crazy about that? Nothing,
Speaker 1: but I'm bringing it. No, what's crazy about that is
Speaker 1: Ryan was twenty Ryan was twenty six when we met.
Speaker 2: That's crazy.
Speaker 1: That's when I was younger that. No, I was like
Speaker 1: twenty four when we met. I thought we just talked
Speaker 1: about this, Yeah, we did, and I told you it
Speaker 1: was twenty four. It was the week I turned twenty five.
Speaker 3: So how old was he then?
Speaker 4: Like?
Speaker 1: What were you twenty six when we started this? No? No,
Speaker 1: I was twenty seven. But that's the point that I'm
Speaker 1: trying to make. I'm slightly ahead of you in life,
Speaker 1: so I look at you differently than you look at
Speaker 1: yourself where I just married you. Yeah, go ahead and
Speaker 1: smirk again and try to process what I just said.
Speaker 1: I look at you differently than you look at yourself.
Speaker 1: I look at you as where I was in life
Speaker 1: five years ago when I met you, or six years
Speaker 1: ago when I met you, because I'm five years older
Speaker 1: than you and we met six years ago. So just
Speaker 1: consider that when I say things like maybe slow down
Speaker 1: or this time last year, I'm like, m, you know,
Speaker 1: I don't really fuck with drinking that much. Now at
Speaker 1: the table tonight, you're like, hm, I don't really fuck
Speaker 1: with drinking anymore.
Speaker 3: Who knows.
Speaker 1: Maybe there's a little wisdom behind some of the things
Speaker 1: that I say.
Speaker 3: There are seasons for everything.
Speaker 2: You love your nice German beers sometimes.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's but it's moderation.
Speaker 3: Yes, it's moderation. Yes, there's seasons for everything. It's not
Speaker 3: always like fucking fast and hard, like you're right all in,
Speaker 3: you're all out, You're right.
Speaker 1: But my point is, as we get older and we
Speaker 1: start hitting our later twenties, and then our early thirties,
Speaker 1: and then eventually mid thirties and late thirties and forties,
Speaker 1: we hit these different seasons in life where we realize
Speaker 1: things differently.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, you get you.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. I'm not saying you have to
Speaker 1: be fast and hard.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: No, No, your perspective evolves.
Speaker 3: Over the years. My point is that we sound so old.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like, what the fuck is going to him?
Speaker 2: Not me? I didn't do that.
Speaker 1: I'm not on his Okay, which it's the episode about
Speaker 1: time in the year, So why don't you just listen
Speaker 1: for a moment. I've been listening to this and listen up. Dude, Yeah,
Speaker 1: put your hat back on it. Yeah, I just want
Speaker 1: to clarify. Finally removed that was about Oh but I
Speaker 1: did something last week that had Emily and Jack just crying,
Speaker 1: You're not right. But my point is, dude, that maybe
Speaker 1: when I tell you things like you know, so down
Speaker 1: a little bit, maybe I just care and I'm just
Speaker 1: trying to like help shape you to make better choices
Speaker 1: than I did at your age. Thank you, that's all
Speaker 1: it is. Thanks for caring.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, he cares about you.
Speaker 1: Kind of what do you mean? Kind of be pretty clear, No,
Speaker 1: I kind of get what you're saying. Took a long
Speaker 1: winding path to get to what you're saying. But yeah, well,
Speaker 1: patience is a virtue, is it not? I said to
Speaker 1: it all is not? It is. You're gonna see, Bro,
Speaker 1: you're gonna look back at thirty. You're gonna be on
Speaker 1: your third kid and my and my fourth bike. You're
Speaker 1: telling me, I'm gonna have three kids in four years.
Speaker 1: You could have four if you if you, if you really, bro,
Speaker 1: you could have four.
Speaker 3: Yeah. If you chow, if you hard, if you live
Speaker 3: this year as intensely as you say you want to
Speaker 3: live this year, you'll be our kid number four by thirty.
Speaker 1: It's all love.
Speaker 2: Sweet little baby's three.
Speaker 4: Under three would be yeah, three under three, three three
