We talked a little bit 5 00:00:38.520 --> 00:00:40.520 about it before, but I did want to save the 6 00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:45.759 majority of it for the show, so you know, I'm, I'm, 7 00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:47.880 I'm really I know it went well. They were kind 8 00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:49.560 of updating me through the weekend, but I am looking 9 00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:51.799 forward to hear the full scoop and hear about all 10 00:00:51.799 --> 00:00:54.560 the you know, the good times and the cool people 11 00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:57.640 they met.

And 16 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:26.079 my brain is really fuzzy from no sleeps, So I 17 00:01:26.079 --> 00:01:28.640 got everybody that was everybody, Thank you guys very much 18 00:01:28.719 --> 00:01:31.000 for supporting us. Also, just in general, to anybody who 19 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:34.239 listens to the show or who is involved in anything 20 00:01:34.280 --> 00:01:37.120 that we do, thank you very much for your kind 21 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.400 and generous support at any level, monetarily or otherwise, and 22 00:01:43.599 --> 00:01:45.920 we are just trying to keep this train going day 23 00:01:45.920 --> 00:01:49.079 by day. It's getting better. I'm recovering from all of 24 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.920 the situations and you know, with the childbirth and everything. 25 00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.319 Thank you for all of the support from last week's 26 00:01:56.319 --> 00:01:58.439 episode that just aired today. So I'm seeing all the 27 00:01:58.519 --> 00:02:01.799 really nice comments and I really do a prepreciate it. And 28 00:02:01.879 --> 00:02:03.840 then you know, the other thing that I wasn't really 29 00:02:03.879 --> 00:02:07.120 talking about is my aunt is going through a really 30 00:02:07.159 --> 00:02:12.599 heavy battle with stage four cancer. So and it's really serious. 31 00:02:12.840 --> 00:02:16.400 So if you guys would be inclined, you know, check 32 00:02:16.439 --> 00:02:18.599 it out. We do have a GoFundMe on some of 33 00:02:18.599 --> 00:02:21.400 our social medias between me and my dad, so if 34 00:02:21.719 --> 00:02:23.919 that's something that you'd be willing to help with. They 35 00:02:23.960 --> 00:02:28.360 have exhausted an incredible amount of resources into medical bills 36 00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:32.960 and having to pay for things like babysitters for special 37 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:36.319 needs children, and you know, just all kinds of things 38 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.199 that are really expensive and really exhausting and things that 39 00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:42.560 someone who is battling such a hard battle should not 40 00:02:42.919 --> 00:02:44.800 have to be so stressed about. So thank you. If 41 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.560 you'd be willing to check that out. And anyway, without 42 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:51.599 further ado, now I'm going to bring in my special guest, 43 00:02:52.120 --> 00:02:56.800 the producer of the show, Alex, to talk about his 44 00:02:57.080 --> 00:02:59.599 weekend at his first conference. Oh man, thank you so 45 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:02.000 much for having me on, Ryan. I cannot wait to 46 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:10.159 talk about contact medalities. Dude, Wisconsin. It was incredible, Like 47 00:03:11.479 --> 00:03:14.120 I've blown away. I've never really spent much time on 48 00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:18.000 a lake before. First, I do want to say that 49 00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.719 I got to basically film kind of a vlog style 50 00:03:23.800 --> 00:03:27.360 thing for Full Disclosure, which is on Patreon, so if 51 00:03:27.360 --> 00:03:29.840 you go subscribe to Patreon you can get to see that, 52 00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.479 but a lot of behind the scenes content of the weekend. 53 00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:34.159 But anyway, I'm going to tell you all about it, 54 00:03:34.199 --> 00:03:37.280 so stick with me here. But man, and it was 55 00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:42.159 just so beautiful and the people there were so nice. Yeah, 56 00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:46.319 I mean everybody that I ran into was just incredible, 57 00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:49.039 from Chad who picked me up all the way down 58 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.680 the line to Sarah, who I basically you know, had 59 00:03:53.680 --> 00:03:55.759 the same flight home with. So we just chatted and 60 00:03:55.840 --> 00:04:00.759 chatted and chatted. That's really cool. Yeah, we had a blast. Man. 61 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:06.120 We'll just start at the beginning, Okay, So I get 62 00:04:06.120 --> 00:04:08.479 in a little bit late, right, I don't know what 63 00:04:08.520 --> 00:04:10.680 to expect. I get I get linked up with the driver. 64 00:04:10.840 --> 00:04:13.800 Everything's cool. I get in a little bit late. The 65 00:04:14.439 --> 00:04:16.600 sun had already gone down. So I drive up to 66 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:22.360 this mysterious, enormous lake lawn resort and it's dark and 67 00:04:22.399 --> 00:04:26.199 I'm like, oh yeah, oh my gosh, and it's dark. 68 00:04:26.319 --> 00:04:29.160 It's dark. Yeah, and it's massive too, and dude, and 69 00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:32.839 all the hallways look the same. It's beautiful, but it's 70 00:04:32.920 --> 00:04:36.759 all like one story or sub story, which is not 71 00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:39.319 something I'm used to going underground because we live so 72 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:42.759 close to the to the water, so in other words, 73 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:44.600 we're at sea level. It's flat. Yeah, yeah, so you 74 00:04:44.639 --> 00:04:46.800 can't it's not I don't grow I didn't grow up 75 00:04:46.839 --> 00:04:49.000 with a basement, Like, I don't know about basement life. 76 00:04:49.040 --> 00:04:54.399 But so I am so disoriented, right, I mean, I'm 77 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:56.720 looking at a map, but the map doesn't line up 78 00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:59.639 because I can't see anything outside. And then I get 79 00:04:59.680 --> 00:05:02.079 linked with your family and I say hello, and next 80 00:05:02.079 --> 00:05:03.959 thing I know, it's nine o'clock. I did a little 81 00:05:04.000 --> 00:05:06.680 filming in my room of you know, just getting in, 82 00:05:06.759 --> 00:05:11.040 and then it was like nine thirty. Your whole family 83 00:05:11.079 --> 00:05:13.519 had already eaten. But your mom and your sister were 84 00:05:13.639 --> 00:05:15.480 nice enough to go with me to the restaurant and 85 00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.199 sit down, so they're taking me all around. I'm still 86 00:05:19.319 --> 00:05:21.480 I had such a hard time because I really I'm 87 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:23.560 the kind of person that likes to get my bearings, 88 00:05:23.839 --> 00:05:27.279 and this was not happening. And I'm like walk wandering 89 00:05:27.319 --> 00:05:31.519 down these halls and have no clue where I am, 90 00:05:31.879 --> 00:05:34.680 and it almost feels like you're just walking in circles. 91 00:05:35.360 --> 00:05:38.519 But anyway, we sit down in the restaurant and I 92 00:05:38.639 --> 00:05:42.439 ordered some cheese kurages cheese curds. It was really important. 93 00:05:43.399 --> 00:05:47.680 It's a huge note. They were delicious. But we sat 94 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:50.480 right in front of the door, and we're sitting in 95 00:05:50.519 --> 00:05:53.480 front of the door and people start recognizing us, and 96 00:05:53.519 --> 00:05:55.480 it was I had to take a moment because I 97 00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:00.199 had just like crossed over from the real world to 98 00:06:01.279 --> 00:06:05.399 like Bledsoe said, so world where you know, I am 99 00:06:05.439 --> 00:06:07.920 someone that gets recognized, right, And so it felt at 100 00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:12.839 first like the celebrity treatment of like getting recognized in public. 101 00:06:12.839 --> 00:06:15.279 And then I kind of realized that we're at a conference, 102 00:06:16.000 --> 00:06:19.560 so it's not like the same as getting recognized in public. 103 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:22.560 But it was still so cool. Some people stopped, got 104 00:06:22.560 --> 00:06:24.920 to talk to him, and it was just like it 105 00:06:24.959 --> 00:06:29.560 was an awesome like shift into that world. So we 106 00:06:29.600 --> 00:06:32.959 had a lovely dinner and then ended up trying to 107 00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:35.360 go to sleep. Got back to my room about ten 108 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.680 eleven o'clockish, and dude, I had such a hard time 109 00:06:40.720 --> 00:06:43.639 going to sleep, Like I was just the energy of 110 00:06:43.720 --> 00:06:46.279 all of it. I was just absolutely buzzing, And I 111 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:49.360 ended up, I think, staying tossing and turning until about 112 00:06:49.360 --> 00:06:52.120 two in the morning. But then I kicked my day 113 00:06:52.120 --> 00:06:53.920 off right and got linked up with your dad and 114 00:06:54.279 --> 00:06:58.000 made our way down to the booth and you know, 115 00:06:58.040 --> 00:07:00.560 set up some books and then it just started rolling. 116 00:07:00.680 --> 00:07:04.639 And something that I really liked about the conference that 117 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:11.399 I have never had the luxury of of before with 118 00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:15.360 the street fairs is like the street Fair just does 119 00:07:15.439 --> 00:07:19.399 not stop, you know. The line just is constant the 120 00:07:19.480 --> 00:07:22.759 whole time. But the conference, especially at the size of 121 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:25.759 the conference, which I was like, I thought it was 122 00:07:25.839 --> 00:07:28.000 just perfect, like and it was my first one, so 123 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:30.199 I had nothing to compare it to. But I was like, man, 124 00:07:30.240 --> 00:07:35.600 this is awesome. But someone really cool would be having 125 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:39.680 their talk for two hours and like the line would 126 00:07:39.720 --> 00:07:42.759 disappear and everybody would disappear and it would be like, okay, 127 00:07:42.759 --> 00:07:46.600 cool for like two minutes, we can catch our breath 128 00:07:47.199 --> 00:07:50.480 and like, you know, use the restroom whatever I didn't 129 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:54.040 feel stressed about, like being glued to the table, And 130 00:07:54.079 --> 00:07:57.399 then that talk gets let out and here come everybody again, 131 00:07:57.439 --> 00:08:01.160 and the line builds back up. And so the spacing 132 00:08:01.199 --> 00:08:04.360 of all of that was perfect. There was always something 133 00:08:04.399 --> 00:08:06.800 really interesting going on, and then like all of the 134 00:08:06.879 --> 00:08:10.879 interesting people around us, it was just it was awesome. 135 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.879 And I remember, I mean day one, the weather was beautiful. 136 00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:16.040 I started to get an understanding of where I was, 137 00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:18.639 and then it just kicks off, man, and we just 138 00:08:18.720 --> 00:08:21.639 start meeting people, people who already know me, people who 139 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:23.920 didn't know me, just chatting it up. And I was 140 00:08:24.879 --> 00:08:27.360 in a wonderful mood the whole time. So I was 141 00:08:27.399 --> 00:08:33.879 a joy to be around. Yeah that's fair. I'm kidding. 142 00:08:34.759 --> 00:08:38.480 I'm kidding, I know, man, So I'm trying to think. 143 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:44.759 So then so day one ends right, and then we 144 00:08:44.840 --> 00:08:48.799 get into the SkyWatch, and that is all about making 145 00:08:48.840 --> 00:08:53.759 sure that everybody gets dinner and some rest before the SkyWatch. 146 00:08:53.960 --> 00:08:58.000 And that's always the tricky part. That's always the tricky part, 147 00:08:58.120 --> 00:09:03.159 And comparing it again to the street fairs. This was 148 00:09:03.200 --> 00:09:07.480 so much nicer. Yeah, to just be like, okay, hard stop, 149 00:09:08.120 --> 00:09:10.639 go to the hotel room, you know, make sure everybody 150 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:14.000 is taken care of, and and then we transitioned. But 151 00:09:14.279 --> 00:09:17.519 that first night SkyWatch Man, it was. It was awesome. 152 00:09:20.440 --> 00:09:26.879 Junior's family, Emily, Chris and probably my guess and I 153 00:09:26.919 --> 00:09:28.679 did you know, I didn't count. I didn't bring the 154 00:09:28.720 --> 00:09:31.879 clicker with me, but my guess is somewhere around seventy people. 155 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:35.159 That's kind of how it felt. It was cold, dude, 156 00:09:35.159 --> 00:09:38.000 it got down to like thirty three that night. Oh 157 00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:42.159 my god, that was colder in last year's. Yeah. The 158 00:09:42.200 --> 00:09:44.679 great part is is it warmed up every night by 159 00:09:44.679 --> 00:09:49.960 about ten degrees, so wow. Yeah, someone came out, started 160 00:09:49.960 --> 00:09:52.679 to fire, someone else had a PA system. Everything just 161 00:09:52.759 --> 00:09:57.960 kind of fell into place. I was so pleased with 162 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:03.600 like the the orderliness of it, but also like how 163 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:06.639 organic and relaxed. It felt like it did not feel 164 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:08.639 like a production, and it never has felt like a 165 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.360 production for me, just with what I'm used to because 166 00:10:11.360 --> 00:10:13.960 I've never been to a conference. So that part was nice. 167 00:10:14.000 --> 00:10:15.759 But all of the needs kind of got taken care 168 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:17.759 of and all the boxes got checked, and the vibe 169 00:10:17.879 --> 00:10:22.279 was just pretty much perfect on Friday. One of my 170 00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.279 favorite quotes is from a gentleman. We were your dad's 171 00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.159 talking and getting everybody into kind of a prayer and 172 00:10:29.320 --> 00:10:35.360 meditation state, and someone goes, let Chris cook, that's fine, 173 00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.120 and so that was awesome, and we ended up seeing 174 00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:42.200 you know, orbs and how many do you think on 175 00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:45.679 that first night, like a rough estivate, So you know, 176 00:10:45.840 --> 00:10:49.600 there we were getting some in light interference from the resort, 177 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.440 but that's one of those things that you just can't 178 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:55.639 you can't really control. And it was so cloudy that day. 179 00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:00.279 Everybody was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. And 180 00:11:00.320 --> 00:11:04.000 the clouds just disappeared about two hours to sundown and 181 00:11:04.039 --> 00:11:08.200 then the moon, the full moon rises. It was a 182 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:10.919 beautiful moon, but that does also wash the sky out 183 00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:14.919 a little bit. Yep. Given that, I would still say 184 00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.960 that we probably saw around fifty or Oh wow. I 185 00:11:19.000 --> 00:11:21.519 wasn't expecting that number. Yeah, I was expecting you to say, 186 00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:24.320 like twenty. I mean, that's great. I didn't count, right, 187 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.480 So I can confidently say it was probably somewhere between 188 00:11:27.480 --> 00:11:31.960 twenty and fifty orbs. Yeah, probably closer to fifty, Like 189 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:36.440 there was a lot of the football. Chat was low, right, 190 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:40.320 the connection was high, the vibe was right. Everybody was 191 00:11:40.440 --> 00:11:44.120 very open, very receptive, and that's something I've really appreciated 192 00:11:44.159 --> 00:11:47.840 about this conference. Like there was a lot of people 193 00:11:47.879 --> 00:11:53.200 speaking at this conference. I mean, you know, you had 194 00:11:53.279 --> 00:11:59.200 Dahlia there, you had Megan, and I'm going to blank 195 00:11:59.240 --> 00:12:01.240 on everybody else. Is because I was so wrapped up 196 00:12:01.480 --> 00:12:03.919 in what was going on, right, but they had so 197 00:12:04.000 --> 00:12:08.360 many cool people shout out Trey Hudson and the God Helmet, like, 198 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:14.759 so many cool things going on that you know, this 199 00:12:14.799 --> 00:12:17.799 is far from the most out there thing. So so 200 00:12:18.399 --> 00:12:22.039 most people, like most everybody there had their mind right. 201 00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:25.240 And when I say that, I mean they're looking for something, 202 00:12:25.360 --> 00:12:28.799 they're they're excited, they're open to it, and they're reserving, 203 00:12:29.080 --> 00:12:36.159 you know, they're really their cynicism disguised as skepticism. And 204 00:12:36.240 --> 00:12:39.080 that allowed for the phenomenon and the connection to be 205 00:12:39.159 --> 00:12:42.039 heightened and to be greater, and the experience for everybody 206 00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:45.279 to be to be better. Right, even though it was cold, right, 207 00:12:45.559 --> 00:12:48.000 but that's just what you have to deal with, and 208 00:12:48.840 --> 00:12:52.399 very successful evening. The walk back down the warm hallway 209 00:12:52.600 --> 00:12:55.960 was perfect. I mean, it was just so warm, and 210 00:12:56.000 --> 00:12:59.080 then you start to realize why all the hallways are covered, 211 00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:01.279 like because if if you built the Lake Awn Resort 212 00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:04.559 in Wilmington, it would all be open air walkways. And 213 00:13:04.600 --> 00:13:06.399 I'm like, man, why is all this stuff covered? And 214 00:13:06.399 --> 00:13:08.480 then it's like, oh yeah, because it gets to be 215 00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:14.759 cold all the time. But man, that first SkyWatch was 216 00:13:14.840 --> 00:13:17.519 just just awesome, and I just remember, I mean I 217 00:13:17.519 --> 00:13:19.519 did sleep a lot better that next night because I 218 00:13:19.559 --> 00:13:24.639 was just so tired exhaustion from just being on. But 219 00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:28.120 before you move on past the first SkyWatch, I was 220 00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:30.600 curious if you had seen any sort of like standout 221 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:33.519 orbs in particular, or were they all just kind of 222 00:13:33.559 --> 00:13:40.279 like running the mill? You know, Like I want I 223 00:13:40.320 --> 00:13:43.639 hate this question, man, because I mean, were they just 224 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:45.559 like normal orbs? Because you were telling me the ones 225 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:47.919 that stuck out to me were from the third SkyWatch. 226 00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:52.360 Oh okay, all right, yeah, so my initial thought is 227 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.840 just run of the mill. But that's my bar is 228 00:13:55.960 --> 00:13:58.840 different than everybody else's, you know, because I've been so 229 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:00.960 close to you and your family for so long that 230 00:14:01.159 --> 00:14:05.159 like it's just another day, you know what I mean. So, 231 00:14:06.879 --> 00:14:10.399 but responding to the crowd, right, so we're still having 232 00:14:10.480 --> 00:14:13.840 that where when the attention gets focused on the orb 233 00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:17.200 it dims out or brightens up or dims out or 234 00:14:17.480 --> 00:14:20.720 reacts right. And there were the cool thing about this, 235 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:23.240 this particular Skywatches, there was a lot of people there 236 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:28.039 with their own night vision. We had green phosphorus night vision, 237 00:14:28.080 --> 00:14:31.559 we had white phosphorus night vision, and a lot of 238 00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:35.559 psionics cameras and so people were like sharing their night vision. 239 00:14:35.799 --> 00:14:38.559 And this was really cool just because the crowd was 240 00:14:38.559 --> 00:14:42.240 so right and the perfect size for this kind of 241 00:14:42.240 --> 00:14:44.399 thing where you could you felt good about handing a 242 00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:47.679 stranger your psionics camera so that they could see what 243 00:14:47.720 --> 00:14:51.879 you were seeing. That also kind of lifted the vibe. 244 00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:57.559 And I mean, I remember from this one SkyWatch that 245 00:14:57.679 --> 00:15:01.879 stuck out to me was as oh, and I'll preface 246 00:15:01.919 --> 00:15:04.799 this too, when I hang out with your dad and 247 00:15:05.200 --> 00:15:07.919 at the sky watches, he basically we get to the 248 00:15:07.960 --> 00:15:10.200 location and he hands me the psionics and he says 249 00:15:10.240 --> 00:15:14.120 record it all. And so it's like, Okay, he's got 250 00:15:14.159 --> 00:15:17.200 the mic and a laser pointer and he's interfacing with 251 00:15:17.240 --> 00:15:20.200 the sky more or less and here's me and trying 252 00:15:20.200 --> 00:15:23.200 to keep up, and I'm just like ping ping, ping ping, 253 00:15:23.600 --> 00:15:27.240 follow the laser pointer and record every orb. But I 254 00:15:27.279 --> 00:15:33.120 remember watching this particular orb, two of them coming from 255 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:37.639 different points in the sky, and and you know, if 256 00:15:37.639 --> 00:15:41.159 you weren't really paying attention, it would look to that 257 00:15:41.279 --> 00:15:44.840 this this orb was on a linear track. When the 258 00:15:44.919 --> 00:15:49.519 second orb came into play, the linear track becomes a 259 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:53.759 curved track, and then they begin traveling together. So you 260 00:15:53.799 --> 00:15:55.960 know you're talking about that's that's one of the biggest things. 261 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:59.639 It's a satellite. Well, I don't think that it would 262 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:06.039 curve and then join up in succession. No, it's impossible 263 00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:07.840 because the Earth is supposed to be orbiting in a 264 00:16:07.960 --> 00:16:11.879 specific way and those satellites are in that gravitational orbit. Oh, 265 00:16:12.039 --> 00:16:14.480 they can't turn like that. We did see I saw 266 00:16:14.559 --> 00:16:17.440 starlink for the first time with the naked eye. Cool. Yeah, 267 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.840 and everybody was like, it's starlink and it was like, yeah, 268 00:16:19.879 --> 00:16:22.159 it's starlink. That's it was still cool. I've never seen 269 00:16:22.200 --> 00:16:26.679 it before. It's if you were someone who had their 270 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:28.759 head under a rock and did not know what that was, 271 00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:33.039 that would be an intense experience. Yeah, it's like, holy crap. 272 00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:39.000 So it was cool to have basically the example of 273 00:16:39.039 --> 00:16:42.840 a true satellite passed by while we're doing this, and 274 00:16:42.879 --> 00:16:45.840 you can say, okay, that was but this isn't right. 275 00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:49.360 Same thing with planes and all that. It's very clear 276 00:16:49.399 --> 00:16:52.039 and everybody would shout plane, and you know, then you 277 00:16:52.080 --> 00:16:55.000 look for the next orb So for one that stood 278 00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.879 out for that first guy, watch that's what I would say. 279 00:16:59.000 --> 00:17:02.240 But otherwise for Alex's radar, it was pretty run of 280 00:17:02.320 --> 00:17:08.039 the mill. So we get onto day two and you know, 281 00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:11.160 the mornings are mostly the same. The fun part was 282 00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:14.119 having breakfast with different people every day, because yeah, I 283 00:17:14.200 --> 00:17:16.759 enjoyed that too. Yeah. And I would wake up and 284 00:17:16.799 --> 00:17:18.559 I would I feel like, oh man, I'm the first 285 00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:20.519 one up. I'm early. And then I walk down and 286 00:17:20.519 --> 00:17:23.000 I see your dad sitting at the restaurant with new 287 00:17:23.039 --> 00:17:26.119 people every time, and there's a seat and I go 288 00:17:26.200 --> 00:17:28.759 sit down with them, and it turns out I'm like 289 00:17:28.839 --> 00:17:30.759 one of the last ones to get to get up. 290 00:17:32.640 --> 00:17:35.720 That's funny. Yeah. So but getting to really meet some 291 00:17:35.880 --> 00:17:40.279 cool people over a meal, that part was awesome, and 292 00:17:40.319 --> 00:17:42.759 then you know, then we get to it. I forgot 293 00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:46.240 to mention your dad was on a panel that first day. 294 00:17:47.559 --> 00:17:49.599 A lot of it was a very diverse panel, it 295 00:17:49.640 --> 00:17:55.559 was really cool. I got to meet doctor Hennessy and 296 00:17:55.799 --> 00:17:58.880 it telepathy tapes. She's great. She was awesome, really cool 297 00:17:58.920 --> 00:18:00.279 to meet her. She was on a panel all with 298 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:04.359 your dad, and the way that they talked with each 299 00:18:04.359 --> 00:18:07.400 other was just so cool. I mean, they're so aligned 300 00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:10.000 in their mission. Yeah, I'm a big fan of her 301 00:18:10.039 --> 00:18:14.359 work and yes, yeah, so that was cool. Getting to 302 00:18:14.359 --> 00:18:19.680 meet her and and see that that happened between them 303 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:22.920 was really cool. So that was the first day. Second day, 304 00:18:24.559 --> 00:18:28.720 the speaking engagement was your brother Chris Junior, and your 305 00:18:28.799 --> 00:18:31.799 dad and Jimmy church On, Like I sit down two hours, 306 00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:36.160 sit down, I'm not gonna lie to you. I did 307 00:18:36.279 --> 00:18:40.000 take this time of like, okay, I know where everybody is. 308 00:18:40.119 --> 00:18:43.119 I'm just gonna go have a minute. And I would 309 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.400 just kind of pop out and clean up the booth 310 00:18:46.480 --> 00:18:50.960 and sit around and catch my breath. So I didn't 311 00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:54.400 watch one hundred percent. I watched probably like fifty percent. 312 00:18:55.319 --> 00:19:00.920 But still it was incredible, you know, talking about a 313 00:19:00.960 --> 00:19:04.599 lot of the experiences, but your brother man, your bro 314 00:19:04.880 --> 00:19:09.279 like just to think that that and they talked a 315 00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:12.119 little bit about this, but just to think that he's 316 00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:15.039 the same guy that came on our show. Yeah, you 317 00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:18.039 know that first time and he's come along when he's 318 00:19:18.160 --> 00:19:20.839 come such a such a far away and it's so 319 00:19:21.000 --> 00:19:25.759 cool to see and and he really was just like, dude, 320 00:19:25.799 --> 00:19:29.039 it for a while. Your dad was there, but it 321 00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:31.720 was the Christian and your show, and he was just 322 00:19:31.839 --> 00:19:35.839 like answering and had the answers and and was off 323 00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:38.160 the cuff and then when he didn't like the question, 324 00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.240 he would throw it right back at Jimmy and it 325 00:19:40.359 --> 00:19:44.680 was just so it was it was so perfect, you know. 326 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:47.519 And while it was going on, people in our discord 327 00:19:47.559 --> 00:19:49.640 were freaking out and they were given commentary on it 328 00:19:49.680 --> 00:19:52.680 saying it was amazing. Yeah he really. I haven't seen 329 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.039 it myself, but I've heard that it was just truly amazing. 330 00:19:55.319 --> 00:19:59.599 They recorded it. I don't know where yeah that went. 331 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:07.640 I didn't ask, but awesome, so awesome. And uh, I 332 00:20:08.000 --> 00:20:10.519 can't remember the day that your sister's sang, do you 333 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:12.240 know what we should do? What is that if they 334 00:20:12.240 --> 00:20:14.240 invite us back next year, you and I should do 335 00:20:14.240 --> 00:20:18.440 a live podcast. We should That'd be cool because I'm 336 00:20:18.440 --> 00:20:19.720 you know, we're gonna do one in a few weeks 337 00:20:19.759 --> 00:20:22.880 in California and contact in the Desert that just occurred 338 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:25.160 to me. Next time, if she comes calling, I'll say, 339 00:20:25.160 --> 00:20:26.680 but this is what I want. I want to do 340 00:20:26.720 --> 00:20:29.720 a live podcast. Yeah, dude, I'd love to go back. Man. 341 00:20:29.839 --> 00:20:33.119 I did not get enough kurds, I did. Did you 342 00:20:33.160 --> 00:20:36.240 have any prepackaged ones? They're nasty. Yeah, you gotta have 343 00:20:36.279 --> 00:20:41.880 the Yeah, yes, yeah, shout out Tim, thank you buy 344 00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.519 some curds. Yeah, that was nice. Uh. And then I 345 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:48.519 did buy some cheese in the in the airport for Olivia. 346 00:20:48.720 --> 00:20:52.599 Brought her some cheese home. Awesome. Yeah, Wisconsin's great, Jude. 347 00:20:52.720 --> 00:20:57.160 I mean, I'm really looking forward to going back. I 348 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:58.880 met a lot of great people. I'm gonna try to 349 00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:01.200 save my shout outs for the end, and I hope 350 00:21:01.200 --> 00:21:04.000 I don't hurt anybody's feelings if I forget them. But 351 00:21:05.680 --> 00:21:08.640 moving to day two, it was like really cool because personally, 352 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.160 like I was catching my groove. I was understanding the 353 00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:13.839 layout of everything. I can't believe it took me so 354 00:21:14.079 --> 00:21:17.400 long to figure out how to walk from there to 355 00:21:17.839 --> 00:21:22.200 I never figured it out, dude. But then amaze, you know, 356 00:21:22.400 --> 00:21:25.480 and I just really caught a groove with myself. So 357 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:30.119 that probably translated to my interactions with everybody met more incredible. 358 00:21:30.160 --> 00:21:35.640 People talked more with the people from before, and Day 359 00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:40.960 two it was your uh No, Day two was christ Junior. 360 00:21:42.160 --> 00:21:46.279 Day three was Emily, Chris Junior and your dad. But yeah, 361 00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:53.359 so day two SkyWatch was a little bit later, and 362 00:21:53.640 --> 00:21:55.799 there was a little bit more people. I'd say they're 363 00:21:55.880 --> 00:21:59.359 probably was closer to like eighty this time is eighty 364 00:21:59.400 --> 00:22:04.400 to one hundred, like just a handful more people. And 365 00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:10.799 it was about ten degrees warmer and the same same setup, 366 00:22:10.920 --> 00:22:14.000 same location. But there was something just a little bit 367 00:22:14.079 --> 00:22:17.440 different about this one that no one could really kind 368 00:22:17.480 --> 00:22:21.440 of place that the energy had just shifted a little 369 00:22:21.440 --> 00:22:23.599 bit and it was more of like kind of a 370 00:22:23.640 --> 00:22:28.680 party vibe. There was a lot of group talking going on. 371 00:22:28.880 --> 00:22:31.119 There was a lot of like football chats so to speak. 372 00:22:31.160 --> 00:22:33.559 You know, people were more there to like socialize and 373 00:22:33.599 --> 00:22:36.759 for the vibe than to really like have a contact experience. 374 00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:42.599 So that they had come from a cocktail mixer and 375 00:22:42.599 --> 00:22:45.440 they were drinking alcohol, weren't they. That's correct, So there 376 00:22:45.440 --> 00:22:53.079 you go, right, So that is certainly a theory as 377 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:57.039 to what it was. I don't anyway run of the 378 00:22:57.079 --> 00:23:01.480 mill experience like still sawt war. There was still plenty 379 00:23:01.519 --> 00:23:04.519 to be seen. I would estimate what was my last estimate, 380 00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:08.400 thirty fifty. This was probably just just shy, just a 381 00:23:08.440 --> 00:23:12.240 little bit less. That's amazing, Yeah, considering you know the vibes. 382 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:16.279 We Yeah, I'm also really bad at counting, so it's 383 00:23:16.279 --> 00:23:19.119 hard to in the dark anyway, And you know how 384 00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.319 I am. I just got a lot and I'm trying. 385 00:23:21.359 --> 00:23:23.079 I'm bouncing back and forth. Every time I see a 386 00:23:23.119 --> 00:23:26.200 green laser go up in the sky, I'm like on it. 387 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:29.200 And then it all happens so much. I just have 388 00:23:29.279 --> 00:23:31.960 to take a break from the camera for a second. 389 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.079 But then I feel bad because I'm like, I'm missing 390 00:23:34.079 --> 00:23:40.200 all this I'm missing all this data. Right anyway, move 391 00:23:40.240 --> 00:23:44.559 on from that right the third day, I think I'm 392 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:47.240 pretty sure Emily sang on the third day. That was 393 00:23:47.279 --> 00:23:51.720 really cool to experience that live. And then it was Emily, 394 00:23:51.839 --> 00:23:55.279 Chris Junior and your dad. Again. I probably experienced about 395 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:57.839 fifty percent because again I use that time to like 396 00:23:58.799 --> 00:24:04.079 catch my breath. But that went really well. It's the 397 00:24:04.119 --> 00:24:08.240 whole conference got empty, like I was the only one 398 00:24:08.279 --> 00:24:11.160 that wasn't in that talk, you know what I mean. So, yeah, 399 00:24:11.200 --> 00:24:16.279 you're the only one not in that room and Uh, 400 00:24:17.079 --> 00:24:18.880 I actually I think I ended up I ended up 401 00:24:19.000 --> 00:24:23.519
