Enjoy your exploration. Hello and good morning everybody. How's everybody doing.

10
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,320
Speaker 2: I'm excellent. This is Mysterion calling from Toronto.

11
00:00:36,719 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 1: Mysterian. How are you doing today?

12
00:00:40,759 --> 00:00:42,799
Speaker 2: I'm doing amazingly amazing one.

13
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,159
Speaker 1: Oh dude. When you speak a language like that, people

14
00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:47,799
who say that word amazing, they've lived it and they

15
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:49,880
want to share it. That means that you are on that.

16
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 2: Path, absolutely no question about it. I live every day

17
00:00:55,960 --> 00:00:59,200
making sure that the day that I'm living in is

18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,359
just even a micro particle better than the day before.

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,680
I love that. I love that's that's just the way

20
00:01:04,719 --> 00:01:05,640
that that I roll.

21
00:01:06,040 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: When did you realize that it was time to make

22
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,439
that investment in such a thought? Because that's a powerful

23
00:01:10,519 --> 00:01:11,480
mantra right there.

24
00:01:13,159 --> 00:01:17,719
Speaker 2: Yes, It's been you know, a long time since I

25
00:01:17,799 --> 00:01:21,040
was able to really accept that that's the only way

26
00:01:21,079 --> 00:01:24,319
that people should be, you know, going about their life.

27
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:30,840
I lived a long time essentially grasping at straws and

28
00:01:31,159 --> 00:01:34,400
hoping for the best. And I realized labor in life

29
00:01:34,719 --> 00:01:39,519
that you can't you can't grow in that headspace. You

30
00:01:39,599 --> 00:01:43,519
have to be appreciative. You have to be accepting of

31
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,400
whatever comes your way. You have to be able to

32
00:01:46,439 --> 00:01:49,280
accept both the good and the bad. And sometimes even

33
00:01:49,319 --> 00:01:52,959
when the bad happens, you have to accept that mistakes

34
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:56,239
and you know, curves in the road are just there

35
00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:59,879
to build upon. You know, yesterday, for example, I mean

36
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,719
a micro task, but I was learning on dual Lingo

37
00:02:03,079 --> 00:02:05,359
and I was getting frustrated and I was not able

38
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,760
to you know, remember four or five words and they

39
00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,520
kept coming up and I was just ready to throw

40
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:14,400
the app down, and literally the app said, hey, getting

41
00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:17,800
it wrong is still learning? And I went, yeah, it's

42
00:02:17,800 --> 00:02:18,560
absolutely cool.

43
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:22,719
Speaker 1: Don't you love moments like that because you can take

44
00:02:22,759 --> 00:02:25,240
that to a live audience and share it with somebody

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:26,599
who wants to receive it.

46
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And you know, with my line of work,

47
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:34,400
people see it and they you know if you come

48
00:02:34,439 --> 00:02:38,120
in it's just for entertainment, which is my purpose. But

49
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,520
you would not believe how many people at the end

50
00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:42,960
of the night will text me or email me, or

51
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,680
you know, post something on social media where they say,

52
00:02:45,960 --> 00:02:49,240
you know, you said something that really resonated, or when

53
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,439
you spoke to me on stage it felt there was

54
00:02:51,479 --> 00:02:54,919
a connection, or and it's not something psychic or something

55
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,879
you know, esoteric, it's just that moment where they go,

56
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:01,520
oh my god, my point of view has been changed,

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:05,159
or my perspective is down a little bit more positive.

58
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,159
Whatever that outcome is, it's you know, it's needed for them. See.

59
00:03:09,199 --> 00:03:11,039
Speaker 1: I love it that you say it that way, because

60
00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:12,759
you know, you know how it is in this everyday world.

61
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:15,000
You have a lot of non believers. And my answer

62
00:03:15,039 --> 00:03:17,960
is you haven't seen mysterian then until you see mysteria

63
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:20,319
in keep your comments to yourself because when you go

64
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,840
in there and you experience the moment, now you whatever

65
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,520
opinion you've got, trust me, it's not going to be

66
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,199
I don't believe in that stuff. You will, you will.

67
00:03:29,719 --> 00:03:31,960
Speaker 2: But the thing is they don't have to. They don't

68
00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,400
have to. You know, I had somebody say to me

69
00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:36,479
about I don't know, maybe three or four weeks ago,

70
00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:39,479
they said, what do you do when somebody comes to

71
00:03:39,520 --> 00:03:42,360
a show or you know, says to you, I don't

72
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,520
believe you. And I think that's great, you don't have

73
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:48,159
to and I think that that disarmism. It it's a

74
00:03:48,199 --> 00:03:51,840
learning because I'm not here to pull the wool over

75
00:03:51,879 --> 00:03:54,080
anyone's eyes, and I'm not here to start a religion,

76
00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,800
but definitely here to create a moment where the impossible

77
00:03:59,039 --> 00:04:02,240
is possible. And I'm not talking about ending spoons. That's

78
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:06,919
just representative. I'm talking about making a minor change that

79
00:04:06,919 --> 00:04:10,360
can lead to a huge result, and that could be

80
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:14,080
done through so many different avenues. And you can't you

81
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:16,879
can't hate on that. You know. You can say, well,

82
00:04:16,879 --> 00:04:18,800
you know, I don't believe you. You know. And some

83
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:20,879
people they're going to live their life. They're going to

84
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:22,480
be stuck in a little box. They're not going to

85
00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:25,199
want to get out of it. There's nothing more than

86
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:27,279
I can say to them as all the best, that

87
00:04:27,319 --> 00:04:30,079
I'm here when you're ready. But all it takes is

88
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,160
just one little movement, one a little motion, and the

89
00:04:34,199 --> 00:04:39,279
outcome is unbelievable. You know, one guy I know who

90
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:44,199
has been looking for employment and getting down on himself.

91
00:04:44,319 --> 00:04:47,319
I just said to him, look, take outside the box,

92
00:04:48,079 --> 00:04:51,519
employ yourself, find what you love to do. You're not

93
00:04:51,560 --> 00:04:53,639
going to be rich overnight, but do what you need

94
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,279
to do. And you know, within a couple of months

95
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:00,959
of him self promoting, he's dog walking doing things like that,

96
00:05:01,319 --> 00:05:02,920
and he has a little bit of income coming in.

97
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:04,759
But it's that headspace. Yep.

98
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:07,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, see this is the reason why that in talking

99
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,040
with my wife, I said that this You help people

100
00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:12,720
find their needle in a haystack, and you do it

101
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:16,120
in a way that it's their discovery. All you do

102
00:05:16,199 --> 00:05:17,800
on that stage, which I by the way, I call

103
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:21,480
an open door, and inside your open door you allow

104
00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:23,480
them to step in, but then you give them the

105
00:05:23,600 --> 00:05:25,759
ingredients on how to find that needle and a haystack.

106
00:05:27,519 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, and most people do. Most people want to. Yeah.

107
00:05:32,920 --> 00:05:37,439
And you know, even if somebody comes in all bravado,

108
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,000
guns and blazing, ready to do these things and they

109
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:44,000
get sidetracked or they stop, that's okay. As long as

110
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,839
they took a few stages and a few steps, they're

111
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:50,600
going to see that those few things do have an outcome. Now,

112
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,240
of course, for maximum outcome and maximum result. If you

113
00:05:54,480 --> 00:05:59,560
constantly feed that beast, then you're constantly reinventing and changing

114
00:05:59,600 --> 00:06:03,160
and criticizing their own you know, I take the word fault,

115
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,199
but your own nuances that you don't feel are working

116
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,160
for you, you're going to get more results. I do

117
00:06:09,199 --> 00:06:11,560
it every day. I'm never happy with what ian I'm

118
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,279
don't get near I'm happy, but I've never satisfied with

119
00:06:14,879 --> 00:06:19,120
what my results are, because then it becomes fagnant. You know.

120
00:06:19,519 --> 00:06:23,879
Even recently, about two years ago, I had a duo

121
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:27,079
act and we did exceptionally well. We were doing amazingly

122
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,399
on television and on America's Got Talent and having Talor

123
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:34,040
and all these incredible things. And then the act split

124
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:39,399
and for the first time and over a decade, things

125
00:06:39,519 --> 00:06:42,439
just kind of came to a grinding hallo and I said,

126
00:06:42,680 --> 00:06:46,839
oh no, they wanted the duo, they didn't want me.

127
00:06:47,759 --> 00:06:50,600
And then I realized that's just a though, that's just us,

128
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:53,360
and all I have to do is repackage a little

129
00:06:53,399 --> 00:06:56,600
bit and send a different message out. And it takes time,

130
00:06:56,680 --> 00:06:58,720
It takes a lot of you know, every step has

131
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,439
a million moving parts. But I just put my boots

132
00:07:02,439 --> 00:07:04,480
to the ground and you know, with the help of

133
00:07:04,519 --> 00:07:08,079
my wife, and we really re establish what it is

134
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:10,279
that I want to deliver, what it is I want

135
00:07:10,319 --> 00:07:12,240
to do, how I want to say it, and the

136
00:07:12,279 --> 00:07:14,519
path I want to take. I took a few steps back.

137
00:07:15,040 --> 00:07:17,560
I said, you know what, I'm not going to go touring,

138
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,240
and good for you, you know, to bury my head

139
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:22,759
in the sand and avoid the elephant in the room.

140
00:07:22,920 --> 00:07:25,160
I'm going to focus on what I need to do

141
00:07:25,560 --> 00:07:28,839
in the moment right now, and every day build on that.

142
00:07:29,399 --> 00:07:32,879
And I'll tell you something. In those eighteen months since

143
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,240
that's happened, it's been night and day. I look like

144
00:07:36,279 --> 00:07:39,199
a different person. I present as a different person. I

145
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,480
saw somebody last night that I haven't seen in almost

146
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,199
a year who looked like at me and went, oh

147
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,360
my god, I barely even recognize you. Yeah, because it's

148
00:07:47,399 --> 00:07:50,319
not just a physical thing. It's a mental thing, and

149
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:51,519
it's what you're putting out.

150
00:07:51,720 --> 00:07:54,839
Speaker 1: I always call that you're wearing your energy, and you do.

151
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:58,279
You wear your energy, which is so fascinating because a

152
00:07:58,319 --> 00:07:59,759
lot of people would like to chuck it up on

153
00:07:59,839 --> 00:08:01,839
an their sleeve. But no, no, no, no, no, no,

154
00:08:02,079 --> 00:08:04,439
not mysterious. Mysterian is going to come out there and

155
00:08:04,519 --> 00:08:05,720
be mysterian.

156
00:08:07,319 --> 00:08:10,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have. I have to be violent, true authentic self,

157
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,680
you know, and that and that, you know in any industry,

158
00:08:13,720 --> 00:08:16,040
you know, you have to be you know, if people

159
00:08:16,079 --> 00:08:21,879
would say to me, you know, well, how is it,

160
00:08:21,879 --> 00:08:24,920
It's such a silly question. How is it You're getting

161
00:08:24,959 --> 00:08:27,639
a corporate gig and you have tattoos all over your

162
00:08:27,720 --> 00:08:31,399
arms because they're hiring you for my tattoos. They're hiring

163
00:08:31,399 --> 00:08:34,159
me for my tattoos, you know what I mean. People

164
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:37,679
want to find whatever excuse it is to validate their

165
00:08:37,679 --> 00:08:42,519
own insecurity, and that never works. It doesn't kiwash the

166
00:08:42,519 --> 00:08:47,879
person they're trying to bury, and it only isolates them.

167
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:50,840
And it's a it's a weird headspace. When you shift

168
00:08:50,879 --> 00:08:55,879
to being accepting and you're loving and supporting, the doors open.

169
00:08:56,360 --> 00:09:00,159
And once that happens, you can see everyone's gonna have

170
00:09:00,159 --> 00:09:02,440
a I hate this for but everyone's going to have

171
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:06,000
an adversary. Yep. You don't have to worry about your adversary.

172
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,159
Just have to worry about what you do. And the

173
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,159
minute you do that, and you just only focus on that,

174
00:09:11,879 --> 00:09:15,919
your adversary can be Lex Luthor for all matters they're

175
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:17,320
not going to have it over what you.

176
00:09:17,279 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: Do the journey from the green room to that open

177
00:09:22,279 --> 00:09:25,519
door which we call the stage, to the actual performance.

178
00:09:25,639 --> 00:09:28,960
I can't imagine the evolution of mental changes that you

179
00:09:29,039 --> 00:09:32,240
go through. And is it a walk of receiving as

180
00:09:32,279 --> 00:09:33,639
you take each step forward.

181
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I think the answer you're going

182
00:09:38,159 --> 00:09:42,480
to get may disappoint you. I think, first off, there's

183
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,759
a lot of gratitude. But then the minute I go

184
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:49,399
into a green room and I know I'm going on

185
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:54,039
stage and let's say half an hour, I go kind

186
00:09:54,039 --> 00:09:58,000
of lank and go on automatic in a weird way,

187
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,039
because no two audiences are a lot, so I can

188
00:10:01,159 --> 00:10:03,519
replace something in my mind over and over again. And

189
00:10:03,519 --> 00:10:06,120
then I go out on stage and it is nothing

190
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:08,960
like I assumed it was gonna being. Never is You're

191
00:10:09,039 --> 00:10:14,159
going to have a totally different outcome. I'm always prepared.

192
00:10:14,639 --> 00:10:21,240
But as for scripting, as for you know, crowd work

193
00:10:21,519 --> 00:10:26,120
these things, there is a very loose scripting. There is

194
00:10:26,159 --> 00:10:29,279
a very natural ability that I have with the audience

195
00:10:29,519 --> 00:10:32,120
and being able to know who to talk to and

196
00:10:32,279 --> 00:10:35,120
how to interact with them. If there's God forbid, somebody

197
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:38,639
who's maybe intoxicated, which can happen. I know how to

198
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:41,399
handle that. That just comes from years of experience. But

199
00:10:41,799 --> 00:10:46,360
when I go on stage, it's more like there it goes.

200
00:10:46,759 --> 00:10:52,039
I'm Superman in action. Superman, he's flying, he notices somebody

201
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,519
in distress. He doesn't think about it. He just goes

202
00:10:54,559 --> 00:10:56,879
down and deals with it in the moment. And that's

203
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,120
kind of the way I approach it as well, you know.

204
00:10:59,480 --> 00:11:03,919
And so there is obviously gratitude, there's obviously excitement. There's

205
00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:06,879
obviously the lead up to an event. If I have

206
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,759
an event coming two and three events coming up in

207
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:13,559
Canada that I'm very much looking forward to. I have

208
00:11:13,639 --> 00:11:16,240
corporate events, and I have a weekly that I do,

209
00:11:16,279 --> 00:11:18,759
and have residency, you know, and I'm always you know,

210
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:20,799
tomorrow night, I'm back at my residency. And I did

211
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:22,799
it last night for the first time in a few weeks,

212
00:11:22,799 --> 00:11:25,039
and I was very excited to go back in. So

213
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:28,279
there's of course that natural, you know, Christmas morning feeling

214
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,159
that you're excited, you want to get you can't open

215
00:11:31,279 --> 00:11:34,480
up the gift of being able to perform. But I

216
00:11:34,519 --> 00:11:37,240
don't overthink it. I don't say, well, today I'm going

217
00:11:37,279 --> 00:11:39,679
to do this and this and that, and it never works,

218
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,039
it never it. That can lead to disappointment because if

219
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:46,039
I go in there and it's not the way that

220
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:47,639
I perceived it's going to be, it could throw you

221
00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,480
after your game, especially if you're not used to it.

222
00:11:50,960 --> 00:11:52,840
So yeah, that's my answer to that.

223
00:11:53,519 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Mysterion coming up next,

224
00:11:59,480 --> 00:12:03,679
The Man Who Sees Tomorrow. We are back with Mysterion.

225
00:12:04,440 --> 00:12:07,519
I'm really into animal totems and things, and I'm very

226
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:09,759
excited to find out if if you do have a

227
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,399
totem animal, because because the way that you speak with us,

228
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:15,600
you don't talk to us, you don't talk at us,

229
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:18,840
you talk with us, and that to me is communication

230
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:21,960
from somewhere that you have learned how to master.

231
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,840
Speaker 2: I think that comes from being spoken at ooh. And

232
00:12:29,879 --> 00:12:32,919
I think that that comes from not being heard oh boy.

233
00:12:33,879 --> 00:12:38,320
For many years, many many years, A lot of the

234
00:12:38,399 --> 00:12:41,559
times I would have an icreative idea or just an

235
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:44,840
idea in general, and it was overlooked, and I don't

236
00:12:44,879 --> 00:12:49,480
know where the disconnect was from. And it's frustrated, as

237
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,080
it would frustrated anybody. Frustrated me, and it make me

238
00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:56,639
angry because I never felt heard. I always knew that

239
00:12:57,159 --> 00:13:01,320
I had more to offer than was the allowed. When

240
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:05,919
I was really young, I was in culinary school, and

241
00:13:06,120 --> 00:13:09,039
you know, I had very loud hair. This is the

242
00:13:09,360 --> 00:13:12,360
you know, the early nineties, had very crazy hair, and

243
00:13:12,440 --> 00:13:14,639
I loved it, every minute of it. But if my

244
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,679
hair grew back and I put it back the way

245
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:20,440
it was. But but you know, there were bets when

246
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:23,440
I went into day one, you know, the first weekend,

247
00:13:23,519 --> 00:13:25,879
there were bets how long I would last. You know

248
00:13:25,919 --> 00:13:28,240
that guy with the green hair, how long I would

249
00:13:28,279 --> 00:13:29,600
give him? A week and a half. It was back

250
00:13:30,039 --> 00:13:31,840
I ended up on the heath list. And you know,

251
00:13:31,879 --> 00:13:34,559
it wasn't until later in the year when I befriended everybody.

252
00:13:34,559 --> 00:13:36,759
They said, you know we had bet. You cost me

253
00:13:36,799 --> 00:13:39,679
a lot of money and said, how I lost a

254
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,399
bet on you instead of bet no no, no no no,

255
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,200
you lost your own bet. You shouldn't have bet against me,

256
00:13:45,279 --> 00:13:47,600
you should have bet for me. So there was a

257
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:50,720
lot of instances where these things would happened. Where I

258
00:13:50,759 --> 00:13:55,879
saw other people, they were heard, or their ideas were picked,

259
00:13:56,159 --> 00:14:00,720
or their their their concepts were used in a maybe

260
00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:04,240
as a consultant, who knows, But I often would say,

261
00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:08,080
I wonder why I'm not being put on the same level.

262
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:10,519
I think it came from a couple of places. I

263
00:14:10,519 --> 00:14:15,519
think one, I don't compliment people easily, so I don't,

264
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,159
at lack of a better term, I don't care that.

265
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:20,399
So I think that people are afraid of that, you know.

266
00:14:20,639 --> 00:14:23,399
And I think that there's a realness and a truth,

267
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,080
and I don't think people want to hear the truth

268
00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,639
a lot of the time. I think they want their

269
00:14:26,639 --> 00:14:29,799
own idea, they want to expedite their own idea, and

270
00:14:29,799 --> 00:14:32,000
they want a lot of yes men. And because I'm

271
00:14:32,039 --> 00:14:35,720
not one of them, then and guess what, man, I'm

272
00:14:35,799 --> 00:14:38,120
avoiding the people. I don't want to be in their

273
00:14:38,120 --> 00:14:42,320
circle anyway. So my solution to that and being heard

274
00:14:42,399 --> 00:14:44,679
and being able to come up with a way to

275
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:49,399
communicate was by navigating in circles of people that appreciate

276
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,200
what I'm doing, respect what I'm doing, and can work

277
00:14:52,399 --> 00:14:55,279
in tandem with what I'm doing. And there's been so

278
00:14:55,440 --> 00:14:59,559
many people who have met where you know, you may

279
00:14:59,639 --> 00:15:04,200
say they're not a list, or they're not the top tier,

280
00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:07,559
or they're you know, doesn't matter. Everyone's a lift, everyone's

281
00:15:07,559 --> 00:15:11,600
top tier. I'm succeeding because it's surrounded myself with people

282
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:13,279
who were like minded.

283
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: Your Instagram account, my god, you do a great job

284
00:15:17,399 --> 00:15:20,080
with that with the videos and things. You talking about

285
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,759
an addiction there where it's like you just go to

286
00:15:22,799 --> 00:15:24,039
the next one, and go to the next one, go

287
00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,360
to the next one. I mean, but I mean to me,

288
00:15:26,519 --> 00:15:29,320
that's like, I realize it's selling tickets, but the fact

289
00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,720
of the matter is you're still moving people through your

290
00:15:32,799 --> 00:15:34,000
videos on Instagram.

291
00:15:35,519 --> 00:15:39,039
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And you know what that I'm not even

292
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,480
reaching my potential with that because I haven't put I'm

293
00:15:42,639 --> 00:15:45,000
waiting for my team to come together. I have other

294
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,639
so many moving parts. Once the team gets back together

295
00:15:49,080 --> 00:15:53,080
in Toronto in the summertime, I've I got a plan

296
00:15:53,240 --> 00:15:56,320
to hit the city hard and create a lot of

297
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,240
really amazing content and then put that out and it

298
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,799
kind of ready. You know, I'm not going to guess

299
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:06,320
on my city. But in the winter, you can't film.

300
00:16:06,399 --> 00:16:10,159
It's cold, it's ugly. You know, it's not the right

301
00:16:10,279 --> 00:16:12,399
framing for You're not going to stop somebody and do

302
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:14,519
something in the middle of the winter. So I'm very

303
00:16:14,559 --> 00:16:17,879
limited to a four or five month gap. But now

304
00:16:17,919 --> 00:16:20,720
that i have the formula down and I have the

305
00:16:20,799 --> 00:16:23,679
ideas down and they're all ready to go. What wait

306
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:25,440
and see what happens in the summer. It's going to

307
00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:26,440
be mind boggling.

308
00:16:26,799 --> 00:16:30,120
Speaker 1: Your mantra is the man who sees tomorrow in reality.

309
00:16:30,240 --> 00:16:32,600
Don't we all have this gift. It's just that you've

310
00:16:32,679 --> 00:16:36,879
learned how to listen as well as hone your gift.

311
00:16:37,519 --> 00:16:41,799
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I feel that everyone has the ability to

312
00:16:41,799 --> 00:16:43,480
do what I do. I mean, I make a joke

313
00:16:43,519 --> 00:16:45,559
at a child can do it with thirty years practice,

314
00:16:45,960 --> 00:16:48,919
but we do it every day. You know. I was

315
00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:52,000
talking to my wife and I said, I have an idea.

316
00:16:52,559 --> 00:16:54,240
I'm going to go on stage and I'm going to

317
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:58,120
put on a risk support, you know, like if you injured,

318
00:16:58,120 --> 00:17:00,799
your risk type thing, and I'm going to I'm going

319
00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,360
to say, just wear one. I'm going to put one

320
00:17:02,399 --> 00:17:04,200
on and I'm going to say to the audience. And

321
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:05,640
I haven't done this yet, but I know it's going

322
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,039
to work. I say, you know something about me that

323
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:11,200
I haven't even communicated. How many people have noticed my wrists?

324
00:17:11,240 --> 00:17:14,480
And everyone will put their hand up and I'll say, automatically,

325
00:17:14,519 --> 00:17:17,640
without me telling you anything, you know, I hurt myself,

326
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:22,240
and because you know I hurt myself, you could then assume,

327
00:17:22,680 --> 00:17:26,000
because I'm middle aged, that I'm probably not playing a sport.

328
00:17:26,079 --> 00:17:28,599
I probably fell and landed on my word, and you

329
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:32,880
would be correct. You see where I'm going, and I say,

330
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,440
now you have to look for those nuances and clues

331
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,440
in me, and I'm actually communicating something to you. And

332
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,480
then I take the wristband off and I go. But

333
00:17:41,599 --> 00:17:44,599
it was just for show. I've really this is no injury.

334
00:17:44,839 --> 00:17:49,240
But my point is is we all wear our thoughts

335
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:54,480
on ourselves, what we do, how we speak, how we stand,

336
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:58,400
what we wear. If there's a rep you know not

337
00:17:58,519 --> 00:18:01,640
I'm not saying judging, I'm saying observing. If you look

338
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:04,400
at somebody on the public transit and they're covered in

339
00:18:04,839 --> 00:18:08,759
stains spatter, you can make an assumption they're a house

340
00:18:08,759 --> 00:18:11,720
painter or an artist. You can look at their hands,

341
00:18:11,799 --> 00:18:15,599
you can look at little things about people. There are

342
00:18:15,799 --> 00:18:21,559
lots of nuances that we as people give off. There's tells,

343
00:18:22,160 --> 00:18:25,359
and we all do it every day. Some people call

344
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:29,799
it judging. You can be that way if you so wish,

345
00:18:29,839 --> 00:18:31,759
you could look at someone and judge them. I'm not

346
00:18:31,839 --> 00:18:33,839
using that word, but it is a way to do it.

347
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,799
Or you can look at it from a positive perspective,

348
00:18:37,839 --> 00:18:40,119
and then you can look at patterns. You can start

349
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:45,240
looking at patterns in different age demographics, you can start

350
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:49,279
looking at patterns in different income demographics. And after you

351
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,079
do this for a while, you can start predicting the

352
00:18:52,319 --> 00:18:55,279
deadly accuracy things that are going to happen. So the

353
00:18:55,319 --> 00:18:58,799
whole concept to be able to see tomorrow is that

354
00:19:00,400 --> 00:19:04,200
there are only so many outcomes. There are only so

355
00:19:04,319 --> 00:19:07,319
many and nothing is going to so drastically change in

356
00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:10,400
one day. Everything's going to micro change. So guess what

357
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,799
you can predict what's going to happen at least you

358
00:19:13,799 --> 00:19:17,279
can come close to it. And I'm not asking people

359
00:19:17,319 --> 00:19:21,720
to make a bet on the stocks. I'm asking you

360
00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:24,559
to make a bet on yourself and make a nuance,

361
00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:27,000
make a small change and get to the next stage.

362
00:19:27,519 --> 00:19:31,079
And I package it as entertainment, of course, and there's

363
00:19:31,119 --> 00:19:34,400
a big aspect of it that is a show. But

364
00:19:34,519 --> 00:19:37,279
of course the underlying messages is that everyone can do

365
00:19:37,319 --> 00:19:38,519
this with the right braining.

366
00:19:38,799 --> 00:19:42,000
Speaker 1: Wow, where can people go to find out more about you?

367
00:19:42,079 --> 00:19:44,119
And as you hit that road this coming summer, I

368
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,319
want people to come and experience you.

369
00:19:48,079 --> 00:19:52,640
Speaker 2: Absolutely you're in North Carolina? Is that correct? Yes, sir,

370
00:19:54,319 --> 00:19:57,559
so I may be in North Carolina. I will let

371
00:19:57,599 --> 00:20:00,880
you know if that comes to frusion. I'm also a

372
00:20:00,880 --> 00:20:04,759
toy collector and I'm going to be at a toy Yes,

373
00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:06,839
I'm a massive toy collector. I have one of the

374
00:20:06,839 --> 00:20:10,839
biggest action figure and toy collections in Canada. So you

375
00:20:10,839 --> 00:20:16,200
know everything from original Johnny West's and g I Joe's

376
00:20:16,279 --> 00:20:20,680
and Ninja Turtles and Star everything, complete stats of this stuff.

377
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:22,519
I mean I buy them every day. So there's a

378
00:20:22,519 --> 00:20:25,880
toy convention happening in the summer and I'm talking to

379
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:28,680
them about getting me on a panel and doing my

380
00:20:28,799 --> 00:20:31,640
act at the convention. So if that happens, I will

381
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,920
I will let you know. But generally speaking, if you

382
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,000
go on my Instagram, Mystery on the mind Reader, or

383
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,559
on my website Mystery onthemind reader dot com. The current

384
00:20:42,599 --> 00:20:46,559
website completely big, overhauled, Like I said, lots of things

385
00:20:46,599 --> 00:20:50,759
going on in the many, many moving parts. But it's

386
00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:53,559
about to relaunch. I have a site ready to launch

387
00:20:53,599 --> 00:20:56,200
it about two weeks. It's ready and it's going to

388
00:20:56,240 --> 00:20:58,519
have all my listings where I'm going to be in

389
00:20:58,559 --> 00:21:00,400
the States. I have some dates in the States and

390
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,480
across Canada and even in Europe coming up. I love it.

391
00:21:03,599 --> 00:21:05,279
Speaker 1: You got to come back to this show. I mean

392
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:07,599
even if we sit there and we break down toys,

393
00:21:07,640 --> 00:21:09,680
because I mean that that would be a subject all

394
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:11,480
its own that deserves all the attentions.

395
00:21:11,519 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 2: So absolutely, because I have a question for you, Yes, sir,

396
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:17,759
what was your toy growing up? What was your favorite toy?

397
00:21:17,839 --> 00:21:19,720
Speaker 1: It's sitting right here in front of me right now.

398
00:21:19,839 --> 00:21:22,200
I have nine of them, and I will continue to

399
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:23,960
buy them because I want to. I want to take

400
00:21:23,960 --> 00:21:25,960
them from the world and protect them. It is a

401
00:21:26,079 --> 00:21:29,119
Mumbo Jumbo, which is a blue plastic elephant that does

402
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:32,440
aerobics and it does acrobatics and so and I saw

403
00:21:32,799 --> 00:21:35,000
City Brady on The Brady Bunch with one of these.

404
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:37,759
I dude, I still collect these darn things.

405
00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:42,279
Speaker 2: And by you saying that I've already been able to

406
00:21:42,279 --> 00:21:45,160
deduct your age, I've been able to deduct what era

407
00:21:45,240 --> 00:21:47,839
you're from, you see where I'm going. That's where I automatically,

408
00:21:48,319 --> 00:21:53,119
I totally know. The toys are amazing. They're amazing. Yeah,

409
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:56,720
I absolutely adore toys. And if you if you go online,

410
00:21:56,839 --> 00:21:59,160
you tite Mysteria on the Mind for your toy collection.

411
00:21:59,559 --> 00:22:02,839
You'll photos of me in the media with my toy house.

412
00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:05,240
I have a house literally filled with toys. I mean

413
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:07,720
I was buying last night. I was out by Residency

414
00:22:08,279 --> 00:22:11,839
and we do. How it works at the Residency is

415
00:22:11,839 --> 00:22:14,000
I have my own little room and they bring in

416
00:22:14,079 --> 00:22:18,240
groups that it's a speakeasy themed venue, so people command,

417
00:22:18,279 --> 00:22:20,160
they sit at the bar, they have dinner, and then

418
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,319
they buy a ticket to come and see me. And

419
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:26,160
so I kind of get small groups of seven or eight,

420
00:22:26,279 --> 00:22:28,240
ten people that come in the room and I do

421
00:22:28,279 --> 00:22:31,000
ten fifteen minutes and then you know, every twenty minutes

422
00:22:31,039 --> 00:22:34,240
another group comes in. And it's quite a fun little

423
00:22:34,279 --> 00:22:37,680
ability for me to workshop stuff and meet people very intimately.

424
00:22:38,039 --> 00:22:40,759
But when I'm downtime, like last night was slow. You know,

425
00:22:40,799 --> 00:22:43,799
it's Toronto, it's still cold. Out of not so many shows,

426
00:22:43,799 --> 00:22:46,160
I've probably did four or five that night, so I

427
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,759
was just sitting in there on my phone for a

428
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:50,319
bit of the night, which is rare there. So what

429
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:52,720
did I do. I went on a toy auction and

430
00:22:52,759 --> 00:22:54,799
I'm sitting there and I'm watching all the stuff coming

431
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:58,640
up and I'm buying Heartland cowboys from the sixties above

432
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:03,480
Johnny West. You know I bought uh, I bought a

433
00:23:03,759 --> 00:23:09,240
uh like a knockoff stretch Monster from Mexico. And it's

434
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:13,440
so old that the plastics dried. Yeah, you say it's now.

435
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,640
It's not even a stretched monster. It's a block, you know,

436
00:23:15,759 --> 00:23:17,799
like you can't do anything with it. But it's vintage.

437
00:23:18,039 --> 00:23:20,200
And I bought a I don't even know what I spent,

438
00:23:20,519 --> 00:23:23,359
but I bought like maybe seven pieces last night. And

439
00:23:23,559 --> 00:23:26,240
this is so non. I mean, I buy toys almost

440
00:23:26,279 --> 00:23:29,359
every other day. Tomorrow there's a big there's a toy

441
00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:32,240
shop in Toronto called Treehouse Toys and Collectibles, and they

442
00:23:32,319 --> 00:23:34,920
literally have a warehouse and they're like they went through

443
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:37,279
it and they're just having a garage sale, a spring

444
00:23:37,319 --> 00:23:39,960
cleaning garage sale tomorrow. So you bet that I'm their

445
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:41,599
first thing in the morning with a pocket full of

446
00:23:41,599 --> 00:23:43,640
silver because I'm going to clean them out, you know.

447
00:23:44,079 --> 00:23:49,720
And there's no room. That's the same with Stover's places

448
00:23:49,799 --> 00:23:52,039
is filled. But you know what, it brings me great joy.

449
00:23:52,279 --> 00:23:55,319
And if anything brings you joy and it isn't hurting you,

450
00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:57,720
why not, you know, why not to let people like

451
00:23:57,759 --> 00:24:01,119
to vacation. I hate vacation, I really do. I travel

452
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,359
all the time. My vacation is at home. That's it.

453
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:06,000
So I sold my home with things I love. I

454
00:24:06,079 --> 00:24:06,519
love it.

455
00:24:06,759 --> 00:24:08,559
Speaker 1: Man, you got to come back to this show anytime

456
00:24:08,599 --> 00:24:10,119
in the future. That door is always going to be

457
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,839
open for you, Misterious, you'd be brilliant today.

458
00:24:12,839 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 2: Okay, you too,
