Welcome in, ladies and gentlemen, episode 100 of the MJ 38 show. We're bringing it in, baby. Boom. Boom boom boom boom boom. This is starting to clap, bro. Come on, let's go. Let's do a slow clap. A slow clap, clap. It deserves clap. Hit the full clap at the full clip. Yeah, like let's go run it through its fucking 100 episodes deep, bro. Let's go. We'll develop a flick. Yes, everybody. Anyone who's seen anything more than one episode. If you're watching this episode for the first time, welcome in. We fucking love you guys. Hope you're having a great life. And if not, let's make it so right now. Yeah, all the bullshit. Cut that off. I think about that watching games. I'm like, all right, you know, your quarterback, you threw in interceptions like, okay, you need to cut that shit like it's gone. Like you need to forget that ever happened. And like, now we're changing life. Like, now we're heading in this direction. Yeah. It's like you can feel the momentum in the game since like, oh, this happened and this happened in this happened. But then sometimes you can feel that starting to happen and then someone can say fuck that and then answer back, yeah, we're asking you to do that spiritually. Yes. Emotionally, energetically right now with us 100 deep. If you've seen any of them, appreciate you guys. And more than if you say how much I think there's maybe Julian maybe has seen the most. Oh yeah. Like maybe the person seen the most hours. Yeah I think they watch a lot of them. 50. Yeah, a lot at 100, bro. That's a lot of hours. That's a lot. That's a lot of hours. A lot of people having to listen to 100 episodes of a podcast. No, I don't think I have small demographic, have I? Yeah. But listening to a podcast for a couple of years, I've listened to hundreds of episodes of podcasts. Maybe not one particular. No, not just like in yeah, yeah, in general. Yeah, yeah. But you're aware in the right percentage. Yeah. Some people don't listen to podcasts at all. Yeah, but we did 100 dude. 100, 100 because of which we got some fucking bubble spray. Hey, we got a lot of bubbles. So we invite you as well. Not sure what time you're watching this. Yeah. Or what the situation is calling for, but this is a moment where you celebrate things, you know, because it's 100, 100, but you got a lot. One is a lot. And then ten, that's a good amount. And then it's like, oh shit, 100 is you're doing this. I think the kind of, oh, here we go, nice and easy. Ideally you don't want to hear a crazy, crazy pop. You know, this is I like the pop. I like the pop a little. Okay. That's okay. That was real, polite. Yeah. That nice. It was cute. Ideal. You're trying to get, like, no, no sound. At least it's what we're kind of told at the price point level where in which we do service food service industry stuff. Yeah, it's like ideal. You don't want to have it like pop because then sometimes I also do like so it's a, you know, yeah. The bottles get out there on your dog. Half the people that I don't, that I don't do any noise on there like. Oh, man, that's like half the reason I buy champagne. It's a pop. Champagne. It's not for me. I want other people to hear that we're popping this shit. Yeah, we are popping you open champagne. I want it to pop. Champagne pop is an onomatopoeia, my friend. Yeah, I want to pop a bottle. And and to them, I say, who the fuck am I to not pop your bottle? These are the rules you don't with. But like, I'm the over otter. The overarching rule is I make the guests have have the the experience they want to have. Yeah. And if they want to pop a bottle. Literally. Onomatopoeia. Sound, sound coming off that shit. Yeah, you can definitely make that happen. But I think you also run the risk of losing some of the alcohol. Whatever it comes out. Very true, very true. But there is a way to pop it and get the get the noise. And then usually anytime I hear one, I'm like, whoa. So it's exactly like, I don't even think to respond like that. It's just like that's what plays in my head. And sometimes I just let it out like 90% of the time, let's go, let's go pop a bottle. Yeah, I get an audible a my friend. Thank you. Michael. Yes? I'm not sure what time you're watching this, but we invite you to have a have a glass of sparkling, have a cold one with us. We're chilling. Or hot one. Get some, get some coffee, whatever. Get your drink. Your beverage of choice. Yeah. Pick up your glass. I propose a toast. To you. The viewer. To you, my co-host. To the next hundred episodes. Let's go. Going then. I want hundred. Review the next million views. Let's go toast those cheers. Absolutely. Well. That's delicious. Listen, I love a good grape juice. Some bubbles, like a bubbly. Great. Yeah, yeah. It's, when we started, you remember we were talking to the people. We were like. The top 1% of podcasters. You enter the top 1% of podcasting after you make 20 episodes. Yeah, yeah. And then after you get to 100, you enter the 1% of the 1%. That was the stat, I'm pretty sure. So the 100 was always a number, not just because it's a number, but like we were trying to get to the 1% of the 1%. Yeah, numbers are real. They represent something, you know, like the extra added digit 100 is something. Yeah. 1 to 10 and then 10 to 100. 100 do a thousand every to every increased multiple. Yeah. It's like that's expansion. That's this I don't know what it is. I'm not sure what is pointing to exactly, but they're bigger than just numbers. I remember the first time I ever got my bank account over $1,000. I still remember that day. I think, I was a dollar short and you loaned me a dollar I had. Okay, nice. So my name, I had $999 because we were going to go do something. And I was like, well, let me count my money first, because if I have a thousand, I want to stop at the bank and put it in the bank so I can see it. 1000 before we go do this shit, because I'll feel real cool. And then I was at 9.99 and you were like, oh dude, here's a dollar, let's go to the bank. And I was like, let's go, let's go. But what it's like the difference between that 999 and that 1000, the $1 you gave me. Yeah, yeah. Right, right. It's different. You know, there's something there to that. And it's funny because I was as we're talking about 100, it's like it's a special number. And I guess at that point that's where that statistic kind of like hits, you know, it's like maybe there's a truce, maybe that's just like what that number is like the idea of an expansion or adding a comma or adding an extra increase number multiple multiplier by 1010 something every time you ten and ten something like a different level of elevation, you know, and then it's like because it's arbitrarily, well, I guess I don't know, I guess we've, we've been doing, as I say, we've done more than 100 episodes, you know, we've acquired a couple, we've lost a couple to some, some technical errors and shit. I think we didn't even get the one that we recorded that at the show or the. Yeah, the show at pig. Oh yeah. Yeah. We didn't even get that episode. So we've done more than 100 in theory. But yeah, I did. I even expanded past that in my own mind of like, well, we've we've been podcasting since we've been like knowing each other. Our podcast podcasting is, is just talking in the moment. It's talking about whatever the idea is, whatever the subject matter is. Yeah. And then sometimes our subject matter is just like the subject, like it's, you know, we're talking about what we're talking about. Yeah. Talking about podcasts. Podcast about podcasts. Yeah. Or like breaking down the NFL and it's so it's just like that. But the 100 it means something. Yeah. It's 100 like fully officially part like posted continual one. It's real I think. Well there's a lot of arbitrariness around it, but we all kind of agree arbitrarily. Yeah. That's really it. 100. You know, like the scale says it. I'm willing to say this truthfully, like fully like, yeah, this is real. This is true. Some people start their podcast at 100 or like, you know, say episode 100, episode 101 one. Yeah, season three. Yeah. Season one or whatever the fuck out of here. Well, I mean, you you go. Yeah, okay, okay, you can do that. But it's not. You have you have not done 100 episodes. Yeah. Just because you're on episode 103 doesn't make it a 100 episode, then you know that. I know what that's like. Oh, shit. Cheers. My dog woke up, so, Yeah, I was going to talk. Yeah. Okay. Yeah, you're doing it well, I said yeah, yeah, yeah, I got, just right around the corner. Okay, well, I appreciate it. We are here. Cheers and cheers on the mic. But 100 official episodes and we're pushing beyond. We ain't stopping I see, I see you basement yard I see you. You should know I see you, all the other podcast. Everybody out there doing it. There's so many people. And as it come down to a matter of just putting the money into the marketing and getting it out there continually, continually, then slowly building your fan base. You know, oh, I appreciate you. I wanted to say let's talk about the number 100, but you're all you're literally doing that. You're in my head. You're such a good co-host. Yeah. What's up? You were talking to just about 100 as a fan idea? Yeah, as an idea. Number 100 or like. Yeah, the 999, 2000. I wasn't, my my idea that was striking me about 100 is like, Yeah. Try to like, define just look at your change and then try to make, like a dollar with pennies. That is fucking difficult. It's a lot, you know what I'm saying? Like to find a hundred pennies to make up a dollar. It can make you appreciate the grandiose nature of 100. It's a lot. You know, there's not 100 episodes of your favorite TV show very rarely. Hardly any, like Doctor Strange or Doctor Who. Doctor who? Yeah, yeah, it's like one of the only ones, you know, the offices have 100 episodes. It doesn't know how many. Every one of the ones I would guess. How many shows do you think have 100 episodes at least? I would be willing to say that. There's GPT. I think there's seven seasons. I'll give them eight seasons, and I don't think that they do 16 episodes per season. They've done they do a lot though. It's like, I don't know, I don't know, I would, I would, I would guess that they would have 100 maybe friends, maybe the 100th episode of friends. Is that a is that a thing? How many iconic squirrel shows got to 100 episodes or TV shows in general? Gray's anatomy for sure. That's just got like 10 billion episodes. But like Game of Thrones was ten episodes per season or my trip. Yeah, I was ten. So like 75, 80. There was eight seasons. I think that's eight at any rate. So yeah, there's probably like 75, 80 episodes. Yeah. How many TV shows? It's just a lot. There's not a lot. There's not a hundred songs and a lot of catalogs out there. Drake's probably over 100 songs published now for sure. Yeah, for sure. Yes. Ten albums. Ten. Yeah. But let's just have 100 hits. There are many TV shows, sitcoms, long running shows that have hit 100 episodes. Let's go. Yeah. Us. Didn't even tell you what they were or how many there are. What are you talking about? Activity, I love it. Oh, my fantasy football players know how hard it is to get 100 rushing yards. Am I right, bro? Fucking righteous. What are we talking about? That's hard to do for some guy. Hundred yards. Which ones are there? What the hell? Okay, is bring me to the oh my God impact to the Andy Griffith Show that has 100 over over 100, 249 episodes. The bold and the beautiful, like soap operas. That's funny. There were 100 rushing yards. Yeah, like Days of Our Lives has a ton. Sure. Yeah, I can imagine. Right. And these are. But for The Simpsons, Golden Girls, Seinfeld, friends 24, That's So Raven, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, supernatural, full House, Criminal Minds, lost. Last 100 episodes. No. What the fuck is this? What? This is this TV shows with more than 100 episodes. What? Lost on 100 episodes. Fuck, dude, I'm just saturated. This is where it took me. I don't I was trying to find this shit, man. That Gray's Anatomy, Vampire Diaries, Gossip Girl. You get it, though, you get the point. You get the point. You do? Yeah. Go do 100 reps a bench, dude, there's a these are popular shows. You're saying, well, you know, you usually don't get to do 100 episodes or something. Nah, it's just like hard. It has to be. Yeah, it's a dog to do it. I got to maintain that. And it's like eight years of a TV show. Yeah. Fresh Prince Walking Dead. Modern family, a lot of family. Get it done in parks and rec parks marked at 100, That's what they're saying. Some of them, I guess, maybe have 20 episodes. Some seasons have 20 plus 23, 26 episodes. Okay, so we want you to do 3 or 4. I guess I want you do for you right there. You're cooking, you're cooking. You just got to get four seasons of a good show that's willing and able to support and pay for 25 episodes in a season, 20 episodes in a season. That's a lot. It feels like a lot. I don't know, like I'd be totally trippin, but 100, it took us a couple years. Is it take a while? Like did I was going to like Seinfeld? What do you think? How many episodes do you think they have? A Seinfeld? I can tell you, I and okay, I know at least 100. So I was like, you saw it on the list? Yeah, I did, I'm not sure how many, but at least a ten, eight, seven seasons, probably one of the 180. Damn, that's a lot else. The two bills. Yeah, well, they're for no points, dude. Yeah. The those two podcasts all shout. No, I guess no more. So the, And of course Williamson's hit a lot of and he's like 500 plus. Joe Rogan of course is at 1000 and based yards at 500 plus. And the you should know is at like 100 and something one 5160 plus somewhere in the ballpark like into 100. That's some shit, man. Let's go legit fucking out here. So whatever y'all doing mask. You fucking go there. I took it the first ten minutes of the part talking about it. So it's $100 shoes it again truly congrats. Yes. Go. It's a big it's a big day a real sister. The real thing. Yes. Let's go. Oh, that punk spice latte is hitting right now. Whatever drink you got, drive down 35. We're chillin. It's a good life. Great life. Yeah. I mean, I've been having a great life. Yeah, you're talking about before the part I wanted to start talking about conference. I've been having a great life. Let's go. It's like you just been having some awesome days. Yeah. Trippy. Yeah. I had such a good time. I slid about on my birthday. Yeah. That's amazing. Good time at UT for the year again. Amazing. That's such a good time. Men's conference amazing or men's amazing? It's. It kind of blew me away. It's been like having, like, the best days lately. Yeah. Those are those are some some hitters. Yeah. Dude, those are some hitters. The album that my wife dropped this last month that this dude. Yeah, they're my feature. My birthday running their little 10-K. So today. Yeah. Dude. And that really revitalized this cardio spirit inside of me too. I'll be like, I've been running and stuff, you know? It feels good, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah a little 4 or 5, six miles. It feels so good. And man just been awesome man. Yeah. Awesome. Shit. The conference was awesome. It was so cool. There was legit a moment where we're going to get we're looking at chicken and waffles and there's like a basketball tournament and I'm on like two teams somehow. And I'm just like and then they're playing like force Frank aggressive over the playing Christian half of a team. Yeah. At least at eight and a half and a half for sure. Dude have bumpin out there just like 1010. It's like The Fiend remake for the Christian remake. Christ, Christ, whatever it is. So it is arbitrary. It was perfect filler. I was just for real. I was legitimately like, this is what heaven is like in my mind. You said that to me. You're like, dude, this is like it was like a perfect day. Heaven for me. Yeah, this is it. Yeah. Like more people that I love hanging out would have, like, further filled the heaven aspect out. But just as far as, like just hanging out with you. Chicken and waffles during the three tournament joined your team out of nowhere. I wasn't planning on playing. Oh, so that's he ended up winning the whole thing, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, we almost beat them. Yeah, we had a chance. We were one shot away. Did you had a block where you just, like, swallowed the guy up, destroyed him. But you know, since there's two hands. So I of the guy thing golfed, dude. Yeah. You just just kept the ball. I should, I should I grab the ball, I end up scoring on it. And that was that was that was that was one of the turning points. Yeah. That was that towards the end. And then we had a chance 11 seconds left to give and go open three cut open I give it to him I move and hit the screen. He jumps and shoots the three as time expires. It doesn't go in. It doesn't go. That was it though. If we hit that, we win. We went for sure. Literally like that's it. Oh, it was a goal. That's all you got there. That's all you can ask for is a great game like that. Yeah, it's just a great exhibition dramatization of the evil versus good narrative or like the victor versus the victor, like the person who loses. I mean, you know, I'm saying the opponents who are I guess it's sort of more the story of how it plays out. Yeah. You know, because you can just watch that, see the scores at the end. Like, we know we know what happened here, you know, and like to I went to the green Bay in the Dallas game literally ended in a tie. It's like oh but like to watch that to watch it all. It's like the just the emotional roller coaster of like the back and forth, the momentum we were talking about. It's like, oh no, this is like trying to take the energy. It's weird because it's out there. I felt it, it was so palpable and I was like, they can't hear me, but they can hear us. And I can influence us. Like a lot. And we had a lot. It was it was a good a good split. There's a lot of Packers fans there. It was probably like 35 to 45% Packers fans. That's pretty cool. Yeah, that's pretty hard. Which is a cool place to go if you're a Packers fan. The stadium was lit too. Really? Yeah. It was like I was talking to Nicholas in a moment and I was like, dude, it's like we went to Lambeau for my mom's birthday last year and Lambeau is awesome. Classic stadium, been around forever. It's like a American muscle car. It's like a 1969 Mustang dog. Yeah, 67 Mustang, 67 Corvette. Just like. Oh, that's just what it is. And then you go to the Dallas Stadium and it's like a fucking Tesla Lamborghini. Like, well, here's Bush's beach. Look at this log. I was like, I'm probably I'm sure it's the same thing in like Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta and the one in Vegas, right? Right. Yeah. The newer stadiums are definitely like, what kind of stuff that they have. That was like kind of mind blowing. The Jumbotrons were fucking insane. Really fucking insane. Dude, I've heard this before. 700ft wide. Or like, I couldn't tell you it was so big. It was ridiculous. You're talking about the thing that's in the middle of the sky. Yeah, above. Like the thing that punters accidentally hit sometimes. Yeah, yeah. That thing is so big that it still blows your mind that anything you remember, it? Yeah. Oh, yeah. When you're. What is so crazy about it? When you look at it, it's just like you could see what's going on in the field. Yeah. It's pretty pretty much just like the, the, the television broadcasts more or less without any of the extra curriculars on the display on the hood. Right. Just like the camera footage. Right. And then you can like it was kind of see, we're up in the, in the top. But like, you can still see everything. It's so cool. It's so fucking fucking awesome. But yeah, it was just, just watching the game on the TV, more or less. That's hard. And it was like, because the stadium's like a, like a track, you know, it's like a track with, like the straightaways and then like the curves, right? And like the straightaways, it's like a rectangle, but you know, a an oval and the straight portions of the jumbotron are like pretty much as wide as, like, the stadium is wide. It's pretty fucking close, man. Like, I like the seating arrangement. It's it's wild. And they have two on this side. And then on the smaller sides where the curves are on the oval, it's like they're still bigger screens, but they're smaller and not as rectangular or the rectangular more vertically a little bit. And also like this like super wide, wide widescreen. And it was a awesome experience. Yeah. But just watching watching the game. Yeah. Being a spectator there is the momentum. You can like I don't know, I feel like you can contribute to it. As someone who's, not on the team, you know, for that's what that's what your fan hood is, is like given your emotional like attachment to like this thing of like, I will be upset if you lose it, right. There's a lot of teams that lost today. And I didn't give a shit like they tied, which is better than a loss. But like I'd rather just go to just keep on going, bro. What are we talking about? Double overtime. Come on bro. Yeah. I'd rather have a chance at the win. You know, like, take what he wants. No one wants the title. Gamble the loss. Yeah. Let us keep playing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly, exactly. I think the only reason they don't is because it's hard to broadcast. If they go on forever, then. Yeah, you're right, you're right, you're right. They did that. Sure. No problem. In college don't give a fuck. So that's a point to make too. And that's all they're doing. Just playing. And then like seven. Oh t shots though. Yeah it's it's crazy. Yeah it's hard. That's the one thing about going to an NFL game is that the outcome of the game, you can't pay to go to a good game. You know what I'm saying? Now, you you don't know the game quality is up in the air. Yeah. We went to the yeah I was talking about it on the way back and I was like, man, this is like. It's kind of what you wanted, you know, to a degree or at least. But if we keep going it feels playoffs. You know, they we keep going right there be fucking lady perfect game. That would be awesome. Going to a playoff game heading into like double overtime right there. Yeah. Crazy. Oh yeah. They had a fourth and seven on that drive that was electric. You know, was saying it was that was the game. If they lost that down it was over in overtime seven yards. They're about to lose. Yeah. Fourth and seven. This is the last play of the game. Everyone in stadium standing up. Yeah. And I get to be the person who's Cheering say let's go. Yeah I said as far as far I got to do that because I'm so because I'm so invested in the loss. You know, because I'm emotionally attached to the loss. I could feel that I can get there with it, right? If I'm not, I don't give a fuck or something like, I want to watch a good game. As a person who watches games, the guy next to me initially was, I was like, hey, man. Like he was he was wearing like a gray gray sweatshirt. The guy to the right of me, Packers fan, his girl or wife, Packers fan. And then there's Tennessee guy, and then he's like, probably in the 60s. And then two gentlemen, he's worth like 20 or 30s. And then I'm sitting, gentlemen, we're talking. He's like the guy next to me as I'm collapsing next to a Packers fan. I'm like, yeah, bro, so I can get this done. Let's go. And then oh boy, I'm like, who you going for, man? Like what? What do you do? What do you do? And he's like, oh, I'm from Tennessee. I was like, I was at the Tennessee game yesterday. I'm just coming here and watch. I'm watching football. Tennessee. That's a beauty. Oh, Tennessee. Oh, sorry. Yeah. University of Tennessee college football. Do you know who they play? I have no idea. I heard someone else. I'm sorry. Look at it. Yeah, but I was like, who do you want to. Who do you want to win? And, like, even from his perspective, I want to see a good game. Yeah, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. So. But that's what it was Monday Night Football every week, you know what I'm saying? I'm just watching a game. Watch a good narrative. Yeah. And, yeah, super cool experience. Jumbotrons are fucking crazy. I felt like I was like, my emotional attachment allowed me to be super invested in the game. And I know that it happened again. Mentioned in the last episode, I'm pretty sure, where I was watching the game with the Ihop Applebee's combination that's coming up, coming about now, enjoying our time. We're up ten zero on the Browns and then I stop watching. Then we fucking lose. Like, okay, that's unfortunate. I wondered if I watched the Colts. If I don't, I keep the ball. I it's that crazy guys. It gets that deep. It gets that fucking deep. I'm not even kidding. Yeah like and what we're watching we're we're up we're up where we the score two touchdowns and then they're they get the extra point blocked and they take it back. So instead of 14 zero it's 13 two. That's like that son of a bitch okay that's what it was fine. That's fine. And then the two minute warning comes about near the second half. I'm okay. I'm gonna go get some like my second half haul here. I need go piss. I need to get some food with some food. Some not just some stuff with some. Some drinks, some waters. I'm stocking up. You went out hunkering down into the masses right? At halftime, a bunch of people get up and go out there right where the line's bad. The not not terrible, but they were. They got terrible because the more busy they got, like the slower the service got. So it was less, less. And I was like already two minutes ahead of the halftime crowd. And I was still like a minute. Yeah, genius. Let me. Yeah, I'm gonna go hunker down, get ready for this shit. Okay. We'll come back and watch the rest of the second half. Here we go. And then as soon as I leave, it's like they go, Jordan. Our Jordan love gets strip sacked. Dallas gets the ball back and they score after they already scored. And I was just like, wait, what the fuck's going on? Just, It was wild. I felt the same thing. Yeah. If I would have been here, you know, who knows? Who knows how deep my love into their hands. We can the roll with a different rag. Yeah, I what? At what rates? How how close is it to that I don't know at this. At the smallest. Smallest. And then I think also it hits on cyclical like days. There's like a day happens and then like a week happens. And when that week happens sometimes it's like boom, another big thing happens. And then that happens within a couple weeks or a fortnight and then a month. And I saw that on three months and then six months. Hyper dose vitamins, that thing. So like that, it was like presented to me like this. It was like stars in cyclical patterns within cyclical patterns colliding at a cyclical rates like one and two collide every so often. And then three comes in every so often. The four comes in every so often, and then every so often they all boom, seven or however many there are. Yeah. And I was like watching that play out and I knew that it was telling me about life like the in the same idea that your kids are years turning. Yeah. Yeah. I was like, okay, so that's my team. That's how like, that that's like when you're all week, you work to go, and then on Saturday night you're going to go out. And then at that point you're like putting on the going out clothes and like the like you're you're doing like a nighttime shower to go out at night, whereas you normally like shower in the morning to go out for like work day. Yeah, exactly. And like it's a different that's, that's this temple coming around the once a week dinner tempo coming around to hit with, then did you do your daily workout tempo. You know, so they can come together and go both. Yeah. Yeah. Maybe it's on pay day which is bi weekly. So the bi weekly ones coming around to, you know what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. So like, you know, okay. So what what is it like a, the moment a day. A week, two weeks. Months. What quarter. Six months. It seems to get wider as it gets, further from now. You know what I'm saying. Yeah. It's a Fibonacci. Yeah. I'm saying yeah, it expounds outwardly more evermore. Yes, yes, at an exponential rate. Yeah. There we go. I don't know what the last the math would be on. That was like a six month, three months, six, one year or six months. One year. That would probably be what I would guess would be. Yeah. I see what you're saying, right? Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Moment day week, two weeks, month quarter, six months year, that's all like that. And then. But then. Yeah, but then like decades two or more focus generational decorating focus should be and it's been fucking around for ten years again created all super effective. I'm sorry you fainted. We all scurried back to the fucking match up. Yeah. Oh, you blacked out. Yeah. It happens. People did all your fucking wanted it one way. It really happens to people. Like in a super easy to digest and obvious answer is people's health. You could not workout your legs very much for like ten years, I think. And then you're like 45. And now it's like, hard to go upstairs. It's like, fuck, dude. I was thinking about that yesterday because we have two sets of stairs. And then I was taking the little ones laundry from the bottom, right. Yeah. Laundry is the the tracker tracks of all the way down all the way. And then I was just carrying it up for an hour, just like. This is what you train for, kid. Like, not like. Yes, but no and yes and yes. More yes or no? But no. But yes. Because it's better to be strong than weak in life. Will give you sound like you're training? I'm training to get on a stage. Or I'm training to do something that's when a specific. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And, you know, like, very dependent upon the outcome I'm looking for. Just like general training for life and being a strong. You know, I'm saying having a strong foundation of strong legs, a strong core. And then I was like, yeah, this is it right here. Because life will give you things that you like. It's, it's better to have and not need than to need and not have. Oh yeah. Always it's just like a true thing. Yeah. Especially because it's like the consequences of real life are more dire than the consequences of a game. So it's like if you, like, got stuck in mud in your car and then, like, you got kind of stuck in the mud that your car was kind of stuck in because you were trying to, like, push it out and now you're like, fatigued. And if you can't, like, help yourself, you know, things can get real panicky real fast. If you don't feel in control of that kind of situation, you know, start feeling gassed out of this is, maybe TMI. I'm sorry. Grace. Okay. But when we were at Schlitterbahn on my birthday. Grace, we're going up. We got we had a couple moments there where we were kind of like, not sure what to do, I guess. Lacked the leadership in some sense. Yeah. What are we doing? Definitely could have been more like, let's do this and let's do this. Yeah. Like plan it out. Yeah. But I was also so gone with the flow. And I was also pretty fucked up. And it doesn't. Yeah. It doesn't matter. It's like the, the thing I felt was with Luke, I was like go and have the good time. Like this is a good time. Like yeah. Yeah, exactly. I was like, I'm good right now. What do you guys want to do? Whatever. Yeah, yeah. What you want to add to this? I'm good I think. Great. Sort of appreciated more of a directive I think. Not in like a upset way, but just like as a person. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, yeah. But then at any rate, we're like, we ended up like, walking around and then going around back up to the picnic table after we'd already walked around. And then we went up like a really long set of stairs. And then we got to the top of the really long set of stairs. And even I was like, this set of stairs is like a fucking workout right now, you know? Like, I'm like, I want to put my hands over my head. This is the the service there. But the stair message like, if you're going to be burning calories, a stair master is the one. I'm pretty sure I remember seeing that on, like a Jeff Nippert video or something, but it just has to be burning the most. It's the most demanding piece of cardio equipment. Yeah, I think you can get on. Yeah, I've heard that too. That she goes hard. It does. And yeah, I felt like I was in StairMaster. Yeah, it was like basically two flights of stairs. It was for a lifestyle. Massive. Yeah. And then, yeah, I remember thinking to myself, like, I had this urge, like as, like a like a meme to, like, put my hands above my head and start doing, like, high knees, cause I'm like, I'm, like, fucking working out right now, dude, I might as well just, like, actually work out, get a little pumping. Well, be a dog. Yeah, yeah. And then I get to the top, and then I look over at Grace and she's like, more steps behind me than I thought she was. And I'm like, well, yeah, this is a fucking. We're literally working out right now. Like on a hike. Yeah. Then she gets to the top and she's like gassed, not like crazy, but she's like, oh, that was fucking. Yeah. Get you a little mountain right there. And then, I felt her like, be legitimately like, I'm gonna sit down for a second, like, recoup. And then later she was like, yeah, the staircase, like, fucked me up. I was like, oh, I'm. I do not feel good. Like I need to chill for a second. I'm not like, throw up her. It's like, feel like, and then and then she was like, I think if I go in the fucking gym, like, what am I doing? And then, like, hit me that story about that guy who ran like the ten iron Mans. But it started with him trying to go up the set of stairs and he lost his breath. Oh, yeah. Yeah, it's, I know, I know exactly you're talking about another book. The book is awesome. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fucking great. Yeah. Because you had told me about it. Yeah. That's. And so guys, book is lit. Yeah, yeah, I've definitely had like, poured that on me. How great a story that is. Bother me okay. Because what are he ultimately go on to do. Yeah I think he did five Ironman in five days in Hawaii. It's insane. Yeah. So that's some crazy shit. Some crazy shit, some crazy shit. And then his whole fitness journey started from getting his ass kicked by some stairs. And then I watched Grace get her ass kicked by those stairs. And then I watched her, like, go into a deeper place. She's like, that was not okay. Like, no, no, that she kind of legitimately fucked me up. I legitimately had a worse time after that. And so I don't know, that's all that to say. Like those moments I think really get people sometimes where it's like, okay, I want to dial in on this. I want to lock in. Yeah, yeah. The way that you can interpret the story or interpret the life. Yeah. The capacity or the stimuli, all of it. Because that's the super critical point is like f 35 to 45 also on your 45. And you're having a hard time going upstairs. Your knees are kind of achy. You're like, I don't know what's going to happen over the next 2 or 3 years with my legs, you know? And get back in that gym player. Back a gym player. Yes, bro. Yes. Well, I guess all that sort of freaking days, but 99 days I have a girlfriend stuck the three on three tournament. The days, bro. So great game. Oh, yeah. Because we talked about the tie. We talked about. Oh yeah, we had a great get three on three the chance the chance to win it. But yeah yeah that that was a crazy experience. And because my wife had gone to the we're talking about church men's conference that we had went to within the last week. Last weekend my wife went to the same church's women's conference with one of our friends. These are we used to work together. She's a bartender, and I see her the night before we go. Or you see your two. It's like. That's strange. Yeah. Last time you came in, I'm sure. I'm sure it wasn't planned. Yeah, dog. Well, I'm saying, boys, baby, that's what it was. Dude. It's exactly what it fucking was, dude. See, that's why you come to this podcast. It took me a hundred episodes. Because what we're talking about right now is so esoteric. You will not find this anywhere, bro. This is the only kind of place where you'll find people talking about this shit. Come on now, come on. What had happened was. Is that Justin's wife that we go to one church called CBC. They have a women's conference and a men's conference. Yeah, that they do once a year. Yeah. So six months ago, they did the women's conference. Yes. And your wife went with her friend who also goes to CBC. Yes. Then they came into blue before, after, after, after the conference to have like a day of, you know, we're going to do this and then we'll go to blue and it's going to be like our girls day, right? Yeah. So then they were like telling us about their experience and the like, we caught that energy from them of I had just had a great time at CBC Women's Conference. Then we're going to go to the men's conference. Really? Justin's locked and loaded. I'm like, not sure if I'm going to go. Still, the day before the men's conference, that girl comes back in randomly to celebrate her birthday with another one of her friends. Her birthday was like, almost a month prior. Yeah. It wasn't. She's like, I don't know why. We just didn't get to celebrate. It's not my birthday, but we're doing my birthday, you know what I'm saying? I just realized that's craziest fucking thing. You. Yeah, yeah. And I think I don't know where they sat when they said at 311. No, I don't know where. Carolina and Victoria in the 90s. Okay, okay, okay. But still though, it was like, oh, I haven't seen you since that time when you came back from conference. And we're kind of glowing from the glow of conference. It's good to see you again. I'm going to conference the next day. Yeah, that the next day was the new synchronicity connection slapping all at one time. Yeah, that was one of them. There's another one coming, doc. It's another one coming. What? What happened? Oh, I'm saying it's like in life, you know what I'm saying? Like they like that's going to happen again to us in a couple months. True. If what we're talking about is true, the echoes of it. Right? Yeah. Yeah. Something else is going to hit. But we went to this conference and it was dope. And, I forget whatever, I guess because it was like a perfect day or like, you were talking specifically about the conference, but how could. Because my wife had gone to the women's conference we were talking about. Yeah. And part of why they even went to the restaurant we were working at after the women's conference was because they didn't get any food. She was like, they're feeding y'all. And it was like, yeah, like they didn't give you guys any food. And she's like, nuh nuh. I was like, oh, whoa, what the heck? And then it was, So that's partially why they went to the restaurant afterwards. And like in to to eat as well and like also make a day out of it whatever. And then so they just got me thinking and I was like yeah they had like we had, they fed us before and they gave us a chicken and waffle ticket and they gave us tacos the next day. Like, that is like three different times. And then after the the first day had ended with, along with the food truck that was available, there was a three on three basketball tournament going on volleyball, pickleball. Some like pickup football, some inflatables, golf simulator, ax throwing. It's like they didn't like have any of that stuff. So I'm saying it feels like they're still finding themselves. What was it was she said that they had every it was sold out. We had the entire not the entire upper deck, but at least like 50% plus of the upper deck was still available. So I just couldn't feed all those people. That was that's all I, I, I was like, well, yeah, that's a lot of people. It's like 30, 30, 200 ish somewhere in the ballpark. So that's a lot of bodies, but still nothing. That's kind of weird. That's weird because there was a lot of stuff in like a lot. You know, I feel like there's still finding themselves with the retreats. Just the panel felt kind of thrown together to make it happen. Energy. I feel like in the next 2 or 3 years they're going to have like, really figured out, you know, sorry, ladies, by the way, give some time. It's just it's just all crazy how it all went down. And then. Yeah, to see all of these things brought together and yeah, you were like, this is pretty much what heaven would look like for me. Yeah. Playing on the two one or. Yeah, played on two different teams in the three all three tournament. And then I was like I absolute I'm a chill poster boy. And when I'm playing these days I'm chilling. I got my pants. And then you're like, we need another one. I was like, I don't really want to play. Or because you asked if I wanted to play. And I said, I'm not sure. Like a I don't want to play like on another team or I don't want like, want to play in general. I'm not feeling really somewhere like you. It know my team, but I was like, oh, okay. Yeah, I kind of got to then. Yeah. Know. Yeah. Just about all of to we got to go. Yeah. You were clearly struggling a little bit in the pants. But then it got to a point where Justin my shoes, oh my shoes and his opposition had gone at each other one time each. And then I think I give the ball to Justin on the next possession. And some guy in the stands is like, ISO, hey, let him play. Let the two guys go at it just for the side. And I was like, that is what the crowd wants to see right now. So to see the two big bucks clash on going, it was watch the Rams back up. And yeah this is there's other people want let them clash. Hey you were cooking dude. Yeah I got that one bucket. That was nice. It came down to. Yeah just I saw it happen to I was like oh this is so perfect. If I come across here, I have enough time to catch into this. You got to close out. Nope. Wide open. Just didn't go in. What just wasn't there? There it is. Right there. Yeah. Right there. I train all the time. I'm a great shooter, I practice, Michael Jordan misses people. Miss. I trust my instincts. It just wasn't our day. Yeah. First you would have had to stay longer if we would have won. That was the other thing, too. Yeah. I was not prepared. It was not ready. And it is the new shoes. Why did I'm losing the semifinals? And I was upset. And I'm driving home and I'm like, I don't want to be this upset. I'm like, why am I why I was so upset right now you want to win is you want to live of course. And we were rolling. We'd won. We kept winning, which is good. Kept advancing, you know, and I felt good. And then the team was like, real. It didn't feel like we lost fair. They called Carrie's in. Some out of bounds are a question on walls and some travels. And I was just like, oh my God, can't foul a lot. It wasn't like any of our other games. I felt like they were trying to steal it from us a little bit. So afterwards I was real like, man, there's some sneaky shit. And then we had a overtime. Next bucket wins. Our little point guard took it to the rack. Three different times to make it, and then I missed one as well, and we could have won there. It wasn't our year, was I? I'm okay with that. Let me with that. Yeah, because overall it's coming. It's coming. That thing is coming at that thing. It's like the gears that we're talking about. That shit is so real, bro. It was fucking with. You're like esoteric shit, dog. You know, I'm finding that anywhere else. Empty 38 exclusive. That's what we do. That's like what is the podcast about that I live my whole life. It's sometimes I notice some things that are really fucking crazy. I'm like, you ever notice the that? I do notice that. And then we're like, okay, I think, I think it's true. And then it's hard to communicate that to people. But then we started a podcast so we could do that, give us some, give them some room to work. Yeah. Like I said, the first that was introduced to me on one of my first mushroom trips. Ever since looking at the stars, I just saw the fuckin interlacing of them and how they collide. You know, upwards or downwards, because that's also how it felt. I was like, when it when is the time when you do mushrooms? And it was like. When the stars collide in the moments. Right. If you do mushrooms. Oh, I get it now. So yeah, telling me that way because people can also go to the trip and not not experience something like that. You know I think I have done that myself. Well I've had a trip that wasn't so like an amusement park. Look at this attraction. Now look at this attraction. Yeah. Sometimes it's just like oh this a lot. It's a lot. I'm yawning every two seconds. It's like when a blackout was happening. Yeah. Like cold. Yeah, right. So cold is. Yeah. The. But yeah I think the, I think the right dose is important, I think eating and I think the certain setting, a certain setting. Yeah. If you have a good day, good workout, clean house, do the right dose for me. The right just 3.5. Just an eighth straight up. No more, no less. Fuck around with it today. The eighth will get you there. That that will prove to you I put you in. A mister could do it. This should all get mystical real quick. Yeah, people be hitting the hero dose. I'm like, I don't know about all that seven grams summer games plus like, yo, that's that's what I call it a hero dose I guess like Stamets and all them that that community. But I. Whoa. Yeah. Okay. Just reintegrate into my life tomorrow. Yeah, yeah. I gotta take a couple days off now. Take. So that's going to take some comedown, bro. Yeah, dude. Yeah. I feel like it's it's been a while since we've done it. We're not even like I'm talking about years. Yeah, yeah, we've never done it a while. And I college days, I think I've been a psycho not bro. And I just that idea of exploring that terrain, that's like, why was that. Why was I interested in that idea? Like, it's kind of because it's crazy. Because it's something people don't know about. There's something like elusive about it, secretive, but also it feels more real than real. That's the thing. I don't know what to do about that is the feeling portion of like the what did I just experience? Yeah. Or did I just go, yeah. Like we we did, we ingested something and now we're here, like, what are you talking like what's, what is he what's here, what's there? And how do I bridge from here to there. Can I always bridge that? Is it always here. And that's always there. And it's always everything. And we're just have a we're just like here on it. And then we can just like sometimes that just takes off some of the limitations or some of the human structuring of the game. You know. Yeah, I remember one of the first times that are, that are in the college days or listening to the acid rap, listening to chance doing the thing is, two different ideas came to mind. But one of them was like, whenever we were there in that place, I remember feeling in my mental like I had that confrontation, but I had a moment of interaction between two different personified people within my psyche, and I was like me talking to like the inner me. That's like controlling some of the navigation or some control, some of the emotional reaction or whatever's going on in here. And I was like, who are you? He's like, what are you doing here? What the fuck? How'd you get in here? It's like, what is this? This is my office, dude. You know, hilariously enough, I had a moment like that. I think it was either last night or this morning, and it was like it was there. I was having, like, kind of a mental conversation with myself while I was looking for something and like, okay, so I couldn't find it. But at the same time, I kind of wasn't like. Like locked in looking for it. I was kind of just like, and then and then I felt my mental say, like, are you going to help? It I was like, who am I talking to? Who? And it was funny because then I'm like, I know what I meant when I said that. I'm like, I'm not really looking, you know what I'm saying? It wants me to like whatever that voice was put some movement and some mustard on it. Yeah. And I just that it does. That was weird as fuck. I was like, tension. I don't have like the you right now or something like that. That was so weird to send a lateral message. That's what that's what it felt like. Yeah. Yeah. I'm like that's I've never seen till I was like looking at my stats. Like, we don't really send any lateral messages like that from. Yeah, what the fuck hit that trace that I p I don't know, that was weird. Yeah, it's a strange. It's a strange thing. Strange thing? The most important thing at the time. Yeah, yeah. Well we were I think we're talking about. Yeah. Why, why or why were we attracted to it per se. But I was like. Because I think the way that you feel on it, like sometimes you could feel some truths on there, man. It's, we've talked about it before, but you were like, the same way. You know what time it is, what day it is, what your name is, what tomorrow is. It's, that knowing that certain time you you feel it's in a different, expanded mode. It's like, oh, I'm certain about what? I'm. I'm. This is this is truth. This is truth. This is truth. You can hear it. Like, I could feel many micro doses of that when I'm watching Jordan Peterson and we watching when people talk or when people performer when they get lost in music past when we like watching football like that, that moment of just your attention and intention and it's just all lined up and they're fucking. Yeah, yeah. All of that. There can be two thoughts. One, the first thought was, I remember why I wanted to talk about having, just such awesome days is because it kind of convinced me to, just just stop wearing about, where we're at currently or the number of subscribers we have right now or the followers we have right now, and just, like, do my best. But, more, less like, how do I deal with my life, but more just, like, trusting God, you know? Yeah, I'm having this email. I'm having the best days of my life. We started off 31 with a bang dog not doing fucking anything to make that shit happened, dude. Like I'm doing nothing to get those awesome days. Like you invited me to conference. I didn't put the conference on. I just was like, I do want to do that. Yeah. So I show up and see what happens. Yeah. It is like, yeah, dude. It was just like, can I do that? Can I, can I, can I get out of the can I just make, can I make a way on my schedule real quick? Yes I can okay. Sweet. Let's do it. Banger day bro. And it was cool I mean like yeah we listen to like, we did worship with music. They had like, generational games where there was some competition, some cool stuff, you know, some bonding. Then there was like, giveaways. Giveaways, which was dope. Everyone loves a raffle, bro. Raffles have been going back in the church game. Long time baby. There were raffle baby raffle game. That's, It's funny because in my mind, I always have this critique. I'm like, it's basically gambling. It's basically gambling. But the church, I mean, like, do the the thrill of a raffle at church is like, people love it, man. And then when people win and you see it's a potential. Yeah. It's like, oh come on, oh come on. You get to have that moment for every item. Yeah, yeah. You know everyone gets that for free. Yeah. And then you see someone win and you like the guy and you're happy for him. Then he gives it away and you're like, oh my God. And then it goes to like the degree to which because there's tying in the giveaway raffle, sitting in your seat waiting for the name to be called in, like the attachment to a football team or your attachment to your beliefs in your idea is it will range on a scale from like, how bad do you want this item that's being called in the raffle? You know, and it's like, I don't like it. Like I want to win the v awesome and be fucking lit. But if I don't, I'm not going to like, you know, kill somebody or like, I really wanted the AirPods. I really wanted those ones. I had the Nintendo Switch too. I really thought I could, I was like, oh, Alvin, look, bro, I've been lit that. Yeah, a couple a couple big TVs. But yeah, this somebody would have loved the grill. You know, somebody saving up for a grill right now in that crowd. The cool dude. The grill. You see the grill? Yeah, dude. It was it was tied to. And then it was funny because I mentioned we would play. I wasn't planning on playing in the tournament and then played a new team. And then I'm sitting. It's funny because we're sitting in this, I went to the same, pretty much the same exact spot where we sat the day before because it was a Friday and Saturday thing, and then Saturday went to like the same exact area and like, the guys are sitting in the same exact spot, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Justin and Scott, it's funny because I saw that. What was his name? Adam. Scott. This guy feels right. Scott I'm pretty sure was Scott. And the other guy was Justin for sure. Yeah. And yeah. So like okay. Awesome. Well, rockin. Yeah I like notice them. And I'm like, this is the same guys. And then I told myself like, no, it's not you, Sherman. It wouldn't be. But it was. Yeah. That's crazy. Yeah. And then just chillin, waiting for the thing to start and then while you're waiting for like the sermon to start the, the the speech to kind of the, the preacher to start doing his thing. There's my deejays. Woman of the crowd, more or less, you know, getting the crowd hype, doing the giveaways and, say, give him the mike. Some people in the in the stands and they're like, guy who played in the basketball tournament yesterday. So I watched it. Yeah. And then he's like gives me the mic more or less. I forget what he asked me and then host fucking. I don't even know what I say, bro. I'm just talking about like because of the pressure I'd mentioned like a control, the aggression. And I was like, like aggression under control more or less. Let's talk about that. So I welcome like sportsmanship, camaraderie like the competition. You know, that's all hard God type shit. I just belted something out of the fucking bar. Out of the park. Let's go. The other guy was like, man, he's like a paid actor, bro. What the fuck? Yeah. Was what? Down? Yeah. Yeah. His channel. It his channel, bro. This channel it. That's so tight, bro. And then I got a shirt and I gave us a Justin, but then he forgot it, like, damn, that's a weird moment. Time. Yeah. That shirt was like I said, you take the shirt then, bro. I was like, give it to me. I was like two hours, two days out of the week, bro. I love this shirt. Already doing that. So nice bro. Yeah bro I don't think it's any I remember saying this back in J early J prime days where I was like made a Facebook post about life getting better. And I know it's because like, my relationship with God is increasing and like my knowledge and like this relationship is getting whatever that even is, you know what I'm saying? Like a marriage or we're talking about podcasting itself or making music or like the relationship with your daughter, it's only going to get like better and more nuanced and deeper and like, flourish further and fuller like it's like when a flower blooms it like I'm done. But like, this is something that continuously blooms and blooms and blooms and larger and larger scales of beauty and beauty upwards and ever increasing. And we can strengthen our relationship with the spirit that allows that to be a thing. And then hopefully that will manifest regardless of whatever you think about it in these blessings and these fucking crazy ass days. I remember making a Facebook post a long time ago, and it was like during the Lenten season, giving away some or giving up smoking or whatever. And now I don't even like, have that, like I don't even care about, you know, it's like, so it's way to have with alcohol. I'm like, I don't even care about that. Yeah. I don't even care about that. It's fine. You deleted it. Do you delete you delete it. Don't even fucking. I don't urge to hit the vape anymore at all. Crazy. So like 23, it was like seven years of smoking. Yeah. So I cooked. It is God's amazing chain breaker. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. I think that I felt like every time I went through that season, I could get to that point. I think everyone kind of has that thing that have to be doing. I'm not sure what it is. Hopefully are willing to fight like tons of fun, figure it out. But pursuing that is the results in the best adventure you could ever ask for. And days like what we're talking about, where it's just like an objectively amazing great day. Yeah, you know, I guess that's outcome. I don't know if that's, I like hearing you say that. That's what's going on there, because I've just been noticing that I've been having amazing days, and I'm like, well, yeah, we go here for lent. And I have been pursuing a stronger relationship with Jesus and God. And so there's Little joys is just playing lemonade instead of ensalada, bro. It's like two fucking salad eliminates. Yeah, it's it's a lot of it's this Freddie Gibbs song that goes like. But it's very Gibbs, you know what I'm saying? Don't you rap out so it's it's like two. It's two. They both go hard. But lemonade is just like, what better fruit for my spirit. So I've been spiritually choosing a better selection of food every single day. That's like the bottommost choice, but it also expands upwards. Yeah, it's. Yeah, I've been listening to like gospel music more or less. Yeah. And gospel hip hop or Christian hip hop for like a month now. And. Salaam. You know, six months. Yeah. It's just like, I don't really want to listen to anything else. Like I'm down, like, it's just fine, but yeah, it's like when I, when I'm, like, leaning towards. It's weird. I listen to Joe and all that, you know, I'm saying it was murder. Yeah, yeah, I'm not drunk, but I am all over the place with you guys because the thought keep coming in and out of perspective for me. Is that the way I just ran it back to say that part of the thing I was talking about these awesome days was because, it makes me want just want to trust God more, right? Yeah. Yeah, I think it's what I would testify to. Yeah. One of the things about me, you couldn't architect yourself, you know. Yeah. They totally you're limited being. It's like, if you're going to throw a party for a whole bunch of homies, you would have, like, oh, oh, that shit pretty much. I mean, did it was the golf simulators, the ax throwing, football, pickleball, volleyball, basketball tournaments. Right. Like, what are we talking about? Cheers. Cheers. No. Yeah. No, I couldn't have architected the Longhorn game experience. It comes down. I think that in that I. In that metaphor, we're talking about, like, if you were to plan out yourself, there's, I think there's a limitation to the amount you could like, plan it and try to literally have the same exact things. And I guess the only, the only thing that made it better was like, if you were to invite like, your homies, you know what I'm saying? But even in that situation, like there's an element to where if you gave it to somebody else to plan, they could like do something that would surprise you. And you can't, like, surprise yourself. You know, you can't throw yourself a surprise party. Yeah. That's why there's a bar to bar. Yeah. For my birthday surprise party. Right? Right, right. So. So there's, like, one thing is just straight physics, right? Is like the observed versus unobserved. Right. That was unobserved dope day. So it had different potential to it than the observed dope day. Same thing. How to fully plan when we're sitting here talking about it sounds like, oh, I know, dude. And then you, I heard that spilling champagne. Good luck on the celebration. Come on now. So we are again loose with it. I lost the surprise. You can't surprise your own party we were talking about. It sounds like narcissistic. Narcissistic, or. It also sounds like delusions of grandeur when we're talking about. If I would have watched that game at that moment in time, would the outcome have been different than if I would have not chosen to knock it out of my seat at that time? Right. Had I not? Had I stayed a little bit longer until halftime? Yes. And weathered the storm that is the halftime crowd and missed the first couple minutes of the third quarter instead. Yes. Oh I think oh, Casey, is it better to stay to the end or like because I was I was the Lions are going to miss something. I was going to miss something right? I had to miss something. I had to leave. I had to go and pee and I had to restock. I wasn't ready for the second half, I wasn't ready, I had to go. So I was like, what? Yes, sir. Inevitable. But maybe. Yeah, we're suggesting that potentially I could have changed the outcome of the game if had I not left at that particular time. I stayed. All we still have time. But what are you saying about that idea, the observed versus the unobserved thing? Yeah, that's that's a truth in physics to all the players. Obviously they're acting as observed matter and energy and like protons and neutrons and shit, they know they're observed. It's like there's no question, you know, but it's like observed by you. It was your real do you charge that? And you give your eyes to this, it will give it more energy. Is that is is that true? It sounds true to me. It sounds real to me. Sounds real to me, though. And so I think that there's something to that on some level. It's like having a fan, you know, where it's like, do you see this thing? Like, we could we could do this thing. And you looking at it, it's like, I agree, you could do this thing like I'm going to follow you or I'm going to subscribe or whatever. And then it become it's a self-fulfilling prophecy at that point. Right? It becomes more like it is the thing that does it. Like, I'll get my subscription to that, you know. Yeah. Can I really have it, though? Yeah, you gotta really have it, though. That's why I ain't trippin ball. No. One number of episodes we're gonna go to 500 every day is an episode, bro. I feel like as I was going to the green Bay Dallas trip, I was like, this is a fucking. I'm just like, hitting jokes, bro. I'm fucking cracking up. We're rocking. It's a great time. It's fucking hilarious. Yeah, it's just a fun, fun experience. It's fun filler for the what we're doing here. A good way to spend your time and money. Yeah. Spend your time and money on something. Oh, yeah. You know. Oh, yeah. These experiences are so fun. Like hanging out with your people. So fun. It's just the balance and harmony that's hard to get right. Yes. Yeah. One of the things about mushrooms that was appealing in the early days was definitely we were one of the cool things about. The retreat for church was that there was also a guest pastor doing guest speeches. Sermons. Yeah. Presentations. And he did one that the night time and then one in the morning. And then for me my favorite part of church is like the sermon. So I really enjoyed that part of the conference. It's dope to just you're listening to a podcast. Yeah yeah yeah. It's like what I would have done anyways. You know. Yeah. Just give me some information. Just hit me with it. Jordan Peterson be selling out arenas, giving lectures, just talking off the dome, just talking off the dome as well. I love the guy, man. Yeah. Hell yeah. Dude. Selena. Dude, he hasn't said a peep since Charlie Kirk died. It's been like a month and a half since he's posted an episode. I'm a little. I'm worried now. I don't know what's going on. I'm worried that he's worried now. Oh, yeah, I see, you know, JVP, I love you. I realize that the the the feedback that we've been given is that Charlie Kirk was killed because even though his message was the right message, his deliverer was too mean. He was aggressive and too disparaging and just fascist supremacists. Fill in the blank Nazi, whatever you want to call them, to vilify him enough to the point to where you think you're justified in your killing of this person. Which sounds exactly like what they would say about JVP if they wanted to go that far with him too. Like he lines up right with that, you know, guy who's right but too aggressive to mean to disparaging. What do you want. It's I don't yeah dude it's. Yeah. They play fucking hardball. It's okay. They play fucking hardball. And then they get mad when we have Ray Lewis, spiritual middle linebacker. Oh, they don't like a Brian Dawkins. And they play hardball. They cancel people. They fucking vilify people, you know? Yeah. And I'm not even sure who the accusations are. Not even the left versus right bro. It's up up versus down pastor been talking about it. It's like when the this is the narrative or spin in the narrative, the spin is so fucked. But it is I think that leaning to a degree or something, those players might have a lot of power, or those players might have have been in it for a minute. Right? Right, right. Who knows how the last 100 years have gone, has a ton of generations of human beings, have been because one generations is not 100 years or, you know, it's that, it sounds like a long time, but a generation is only like 20, 20 years or so. Okay. You know what I'm saying? It's like your parents had you. And, like, you had your baby, like, 20, 30 years, like, for a generation to happen, right? You know, so it's not like a super, super long time, like thousands and thousands of years, but like 100 generations ago, a couple hundred years, 300 years. Yeah. Something happened. Something's been happening probably even longer than that or since 17, 1800s, you know, so it's like we're living in that now. And like those, whoever the fuck had that shit going on back then and past their fucked up heritage or their amazing heritage or their belief structure of how to interface with the matrix that we're all dealing with. They pass that on to their children and then like, that's just been going on for so long and now we're still living in that. I think that's is what it's always going to be until Jesus comes back and then it's over. Or maybe it's it gets to a terrible point with that, and then he comes back and then you know what I'm saying? I don't think it might it might be on the I don't know, Jesus might be coming back. Or do you think it's going to swing back up in society? It's going to get come together and be stronger and like we're culturally more patriotic and more oh, just last longer before we saw all the way apart, are we going to are we going to come out? I feel like we're in a social nosedive, not in our economy. We're going to have our friend John to talk about international business. There's some fucking shit going on. There was some evil that reared its head, you know, were just like in society and what's been going on, I guess tragedies have been going on forever. And I guess maybe we're just more aware of them because of social media, information technology, spreading information, artificial intelligence is something we couldn't predicted and like we're having to deal with. And all this is happening. It's all crazy shit. And then, so maybe there's more, but I think there's like a increasing level of, like, heinous acts coming out or like just the idea of, like the whatever that when refugee who came over, who got killed and then like, the government got killed in their house or political finger got killed in their house. Also the pastor was talking about and there's been killings and mass murders going on all around the world. Yeah. You think that was that always been going on or I think, am I just perceiving an increased rate of this or I, am I just consuming too much social media algorithm. Right. Yeah. I don't know, like sort of nobody knows. Nobody knows because they've been saying, want me to feel something? You know, they've been saying for the longest time that the rates are increasing on mass murders, school shootings, public shootings, that it's just disproportionately shown to us recently that the numbers are relatively low. I remember when hospital was which the director of the FBI was on, Joe Rogan. He said that, I think he said murder. Was that like went down for the first time in a long time with the murder rate and like 20 or 30 years, it went down year to year for the first time. He was pretty hopeful about crime in America. But I also don't know how honest that guy is, you know? Yeah, that's that's a narrative you want me to perceive. Yeah, right. It's like director of athletes truth. I mean, yeah, help keep his job, I guess. But our times worse than ever. The Hawkeye, that's for sure, right? Yeah. And it feels like. I don't know, man. Like, if someone gets murdered and they don't deserve the death penalty, like, what are we, Isn't that. What is that? Is that sad, or is that. And then. And then the question then becomes, okay, well, then who decides if he deserves a death penalty? What is the evidence in support of that? You're saying the death penalty is on the table, but person to person who deserves that penalty? I think that the jury decides guilty or not guilty, and then the judges. So like a federal judge, I guess, would be the person that would say whether what the punishment is. But then how does that person feel? Can the judge overrule the jury because there's probably some pressure. But as far as guilty or not guilty, and look, I don't know what is the I seeds of good people and bad people coming out of this courtroom every day. I see this every fucking day. You're in here one time, you and you one time you're going to make the shots. That kind of shots. That's a twisted fuck, bro. You guys missed the mark. No, but, no, I don't think again. No, no, it's the jury of your peers. Decide your fate. Or at least decides whether you're guilty or not. And then. But I think there's a precedence, right? Like, I think if you get, a punishment that's unjust based on the precedence of the other punishments for similar crimes. Exactly. Then you could, appeal that. So, but, you know, I'm pretty sure like, the double homicide I think is pretty in the clear for you deserve to die. If you kill two people, one person I didn't like, was it like the crime of passion happened? Yeah, exactly. Self defense. Hey. Sorry. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So that but one thing that ultimately plays out is like like how does a family feel. How matter they are. Is the person apologetic. It all comes down to like factors too. How do we feel about it okay. Does it feel right to kill this guy. Cause it feels kind of wrong. Like the family's not mad and he's really sorry, and it's kind of an accident, right? Didn't you guys, like, get that? Did you catch that drafted? It didn't seem like you wanted to kill him. It's like, you know, I think that the judge would have to like. It's a story at that point. And then it's like, all right, how does it end? And the judge is like putting the final chapter together, you know? So I think a good judge would treat it like a good book. It had to be like a just ending, you know, ideally, if you were a judge. Yeah, that'd be like your job to understand justice. What is just that is our God saying, that is that that's him. Yeah. That's crazy. That's it. You take me for real hard luck that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, we'll bring it back. Every the person that can that that truly decides that spirit. That thing who knew, who truly knows what's justice until you know is what I'm like even going for. What am I aiming at? Yeah. What your heart is. But yeah, yeah, that that that type shit. Who you are more than you know who you are. Yeah. All that was spouted from if someone gets murdered and doesn't deserve the death penalty, is that a sad thing or is that a you want the eye for an eye. Is that, is that what you're suggesting. I just suggesting that I would assume that it is kind of a sad thing. You know, I wouldn't if somebody killed me and they were like, I don't know. I mean, I wouldn't want you to kill that person. I'd want him to get beat the fuck up every day in prison. You know. Now I just, I think that that's, that's turning in the other cheek like at a core principle. You know like I say if they don't deserve the death penalty and they get yeah I guess that murdered that's the thing. Like if they die, we're all going to die. Yeah. But to have it taken away. And unjustly is that wrong. That's I kind of I think I subsub cases I think a little bit just like on principle or like I just like it's laid forward. I think that's like a stone we could all step on. I think it's one of the predicates for like law and order as a concept. So if you go around killing you, going to die kind of keeps everybody, all the moms can sleep at night because people probably won't kill people because there's the consequences. Exactly. Right. So I think that that's just it's like if everyone knew, it's like, well, you can kill and, you know, you just have to go to jail for like ten years. So like, happens all the time around here, people die like left and right. Don't piss anybody off around this side of town like that. That'd be kind of weird, you know. But not every state is a death penalty state. Yeah I don't think so. And this 25 to life people go away forever. So it's like do you just want them to go away forever. Like I'm okay with that. Yeah. We have to kill them. Exactly. Because yeah we. Yeah. We weren't even exact that you know I have the same reciprocal response to like an unjust killing. Like let's give you 25 year life. Yeah. What don't we kill. You know in some states. Exactly. Right. One of the things that I'd seen is like, in Vikings, I'm sure. Spoiler alert, I've talked about it so much. If you get this far and you don't watch it, you're tripping. Just watch it. One thing that happens that's kind of crazy is, Floki is the guy that builds a boat for Ragnar. Late in the show. He ends up having his own colony of people. He has this vision that this land is going to work out for them, but it seems uninhabitable. So he takes this group of people that are willing to follow him and his vision to this uninhabitable place. And he's going to try to start a new society of Vikings. So it's a story of people who are going to be the first civilization in an, unforgiving land. And what ultimately ends up happening is, there's like a feud over land lines for whose land it should be, who's, And then that family feud turns into, like, hatred and bigotry, which turns into the murder of a kid. And then the murder. But it's like an accident, you know, like the kids are fighting and then they gets too rough, and then there's an accident and, it gets out of hand. And the other kids did accident. So then it's like, okay, what are we going to do? An intentional yes or no, right. Like they were feuding. I wanted to hurt you, but I didn't want to do that to you. Right? Right. Because. What is that? Sorry. You know what I'm saying, right? Continue. But it's like. But I'm still mad at you. I still don't think you're right. Like I didn't wanna kill your kid, but, like, fuck you, but, like, not like that. Yeah, but then the dad's like, oh, fuck me. And. But you killed my kid. You're going to pay. You got to pay now. And so it's like, what's the just payment for that balance? And then ultimately what happens is it devolves into murder for murder for murder for murder. And there are small civilizations, so they're like killing a lot of people die and they end up, like, neat, not working out. The civilization crashes and fails, and it's like, sad because you want to fuck is like town to work, you know? But it's like, that's how, scarcity and poverty mindset and nervousness and the anxious energy because things weren't working out. The like the they didn't have a lot of food and they were like, this made me feel like you let us astray. And it just all led into like that, the faith killing everybody and then failure. Yeah. And so that like plays in my head sometimes when you're describing to me, should we retaliate murder for murder like, well if you go murder for murder then the city fails. So like I don't want the city to fail over everything. So if I die I don't, don't kill the city to avenge my death. Like make the city work. You know what I'm saying. Yeah. You know, allow this to make the city better. I don't know if that translates into society as like, naturally as I think it does, but I think it does. Yes. Yeah. There's the spirit of Cain would kill everybody. We'd all be dead. Yeah. We can't follow that path. It's a the forgiveness aspect. Yeah. Grace. Forgiveness. Right. You want to feel bad. That's the only thing they don't feel bad. Yeah I fucking god a dog. Fucking God. Oh fuck that pussy. Yeah yeah. He talks too much shit. That's different. That's a different. Yeah? Yeah. What? What's coming? Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. I don't think that we can let that guy keep just going around. So we got to protect society on some level. Okay, so I think what I'm feeling is the spirit of what you just talked about. We just talked about got to the bottom of that spirit reared its head whenever Charlie Kirk got murdered and people were like, yeah, fucking kill that guy. It's like, well, we just talked about for the last like 15 minutes, right? Right. It's like, yeah, I think we go to the bottom of it and it's just like wrong and nothing reared its head. And it's like, I think that's where we're at a society. So that's why I feel as if we're at the worst point in society that we've been in a minute. We're Nosediving is Jesus coming back now or are we going to pick it up? I don't think the economy is getting fixed. Okay. I think we were talking we're going to have Jay come talk to us about international. Come on through, Jay. Holler at the guys. If we keep going forward to this podcast journey. I don't see how we fix the economy. I think Europe knows that our economy is not getting fixed because Europe's been around a lot longer than we have. Like they watched us, they broke off from that. We're like a young. They're like, unk, you know? So they've seen a market rise and a market fall as like as, like a country. So I think that they know that like okay, now they're in the tariffs phase. They're going to try to get everybody to build American businesses after they've outsourced all of their business to these countries that do labor for cheaper, it's not going to fucking work. Plus, their presidential cycle doesn't allow them to ever have any change that lasts longer than a decade because red and then blue and then red and everyone under the tariffs will be gone in eight years. We're pretty fucked. I personally, and I don't know, shit, I'm 31 years old, but, the inflation is not going down. It's inflating. I don't think so. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's only going to get worse. The accelerating acceleration and houses are expensive as fuck. The housing market is terrible. And the interest rates on the loans are like they're so high that any relatively smart person wouldn't do it. And then that the housing market so expensive that any relatively smart person wouldn't do it right now. But there's a lot of people that have the money. And plus what businesses are doing right now are like fortune 500 companies are getting LLCs to buy houses, to sell houses, just to do that and make money on it, just to make money on and rent houses out. Yeah. And so yeah, I'm pretty sure the house that we just moved into is like a little four plex of houses all like the same exact model and make and it's, you know, I'm sure like, the same person owns all of them, and they do the same shit, and it's probably somebody who's in some sort of other fortune five other company doing some other shit. Do. But yeah. So how do you compete with that person as far as buying the house? Because they know in ten years it's going to cost ten times as much. So they're buying with the, the, the bank to be able to pay for that. And with the mindset of well, in ten years it's going to be worth way more. So I'm fine. I'll just buy it now and then get my money back in five years. But as a home buyer, you're not. I mean, that's like a life check, like you pass your house down to your grandkids and then they sell it for, you know, you bought it at 3000 $300,000. They sell it for $800,000. Hey, your grandkids get $500,000. You spent your life doing that. You know, like you only gets one of the big boys your own back in the day. They sell it, bro. He's actually hung up a crazy day when that shit happens. For real. If you put it into that. It's so much bigger than you, bro. You make ripples, generational ripples. Man. Yes. Here's another sad thing I think about as we're closing running out of time. The next five ten minutes, most, most useful people are going to blow a lot of their money on a lot of stupid shit. You passed down a ton of money to an 18 year old. That's just not going to use it wisely. More likely. No, no, no. Hopefully they use it for like fucking college. A cost effective car, a Camry you know. Yeah. It's chilling. Not too much fucking to put a lot of in the bank dump. Carry on. There's some NFL players who were able to achieve that. You know guys fresh out of college who are like disciplined about their shit. They put it away. I think I've seen some stats about some players who haven't spent checks in a while or like, you know, I'm saying to some degree I try to buy a house, a car. Come on, man, not the most expensive house, not a lot of car. And then just go to work like a normal person, you know? Yeah. Joe Rogan mentions it. It's like their house is just going to be your house after a while. It's just the place you go to after you go do the work thing, or go do whatever you got to do, and then you come home to your home. It's like the intermediary between you versus like the chaos. That is everything else. Yeah. What is your home? You know, and you want something. It's the same thing every time. You also have the nice, but you can't account for taste. It's like your kitchen and your living room is nice. Yes, I it opens right up to it. Blessing. You can do the dishes and see the TV right there. I mean that's fucking a lot of people's dream layout. It's gorgeous chilling. But yeah. So that's what what I'm trying to say is there's affordable things that feel great that you really enjoy to live in because you just look at and you go, yeah, now this has a vibe that says, you can do this way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And it's within the shits. Yes, I can make it happen. This is right for me. This is perfect. Okay, so I had just one last to back all that up though, is that I don't think that as a home buyer, I don't think you could compete with the guy who just bought four units. Oh, yeah. Split them all four ways. He has 16 people paying him rent now, but it's like we have a different purpose. But they're doing that with homes in like round Rock, Texas, Lakeway, Texas, Austin, Texas, downtown San Antonio these big LLC. And and so I get really worried that our generation the number of home owners from boomer to millennial is going to drop percentage wise. Yeah I think I saw that massive was down like 20%. 30%. That sucks man. It's it's not going to be a reality anymore. Like that thing I think that there was like an American dream of having like a good job and a house and a dog, a wife and kids and a red sports car, you know, some kind of American dream. They're doing your thing. But but owning the house, I don't think it's going to happen. I think we might be. It's going to take a lot more than we used to. Oh. Renters culture. Yeah. You have to like, wealthy to own a house that's like, not even just, like, well-off, like middle class isn't going to be house owners. Yeah, well, I guess I guess if you get the right loan, you can make it happen, I guess. Yeah, it depends on the market, though, I guess as far as the loan terms. Right. It's kind of we're talking about. Yeah. We're not saying. Yeah. I guess the suggestion is that, that those, those particular terms which really control the affordability of the home is, they're decreasing in the buyers favor. Yeah. Let's just have a lot of money to where those terms don't even really affect you. Yeah, I get the really good credit, you know, since to get the best offerings, right, or if you have a really secure job. So you could take another 24 months on the loan. And then not really be affected by that I guess, you know, it's just it's expensive. Also I think salaries are going down. I don't think there's as many $100,000 salary positions in America as there was ten years ago because our economy is going down. So businesses are making less money so that they're finding ways to save money. And saving money starts with labor or it can't start with labor. It's definitely part of it, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know, I guess I don't know, I feel like there's a lot of opportunity I guess it it's different. This is different now because there's. That's good. I like to hear that. Yeah I and check in a lot of different industries have developed or are emerging coming out from you know it's sucks if you were like a I guess if you're a vape store now, you got to buy the American vapes, you know, instead of buying that whatever vapes everybody before, like choosing to go into business or starting your a cake stand or a cake, a bakery. Yeah, a little coffee shop or whatever. You want a franchise, something. I think there's opportunities. I think people can do it. That's right, that's right. Yeah. That's helping the American dream. Yeah, yeah. We saw someone with a balloon arch making business. Yeah, I, I just came into our restaurant. We're setting up for a birthday. Probably a couple hundred bucks. I know my wife. I got one for the little ones birthday couple years ago, and it was, like, 250, 300 bucks. Like I said, man. Yeah. So it's a little to a couple of thousand a day. You have a good day. There's some hope. Yeah. So that's what we're talking about though, is that do we think that the things will get better before Jesus has to come back? Yeah. Because just as a society and how our cultures interacting like society is like the people interacting with each other, like we all have to interface with the matrix and we have to interface with each other who are also interfacing with the matrix. And like if we let this shit get to at hand, it's like we're going to lose this or like we might be losing this and then Jesus going to come back and save this and change this or whatever we want to believe. I think that, I wouldn't go to like a civil war or some shit, like, what's it going to what's going to happen? Right? Like tensions are high nowadays. I could be tripping. So I feel that, you know, there's a lot of realities where Jesus comes back. If China sends a nuke, a power grid goes out. Yeah, we continue to shit like that if we don't trust in God. But it's that's what's going to happen here. I think that would be a Jesus provoking moment. You hope, you hope. We could slow bleed as an economy and as a country for the next 200 years, 200 years, for a hundred years. So I don't think necessarily it's because things are bad means they're so bad that Jesus has to come back right now. That could be bad for a long time. Yeah. It's there's some stretches and links and years in the Bible where it's just like dog shit times. It's just dog shit times under a dog shit king who's worshiping false gods, whatever that means, you know? Awesome. Maybe not in alignment with that star cycle pattern we've been talking about. Lot about, like, the echoes in the hits. Whatever allows that to have the stars increase. And I was talking about the portrait expanding and becoming more and more beautiful. Whatever allows that to happen in our life, like your perception of those days, is objectively the best you've ever had. And like, that's you don't care what I have to say about that. You don't care about anyone has to say about that. They can be like, that was wrong. Or like, you're trippin. That wasn't a great day. You mean like there's nothing you could say to convince me otherwise? Like, you know, I'm that certain, you know? And whatever generates that feeling of certainty that. No, this is a blessed moment. This is amazing. This is beautiful. You can't take that away from me. This is I enjoy this with joy is, like I said, joy, peace. You can't take it away from me. You can't, you can't. And so on the back of that, I decided more podcasts, more faith, more church, more love, more life, more this. I'm having the best days of my effing life right now. Just doing this. Just following God, you just to go come back. It will be on a day where I was having I was pursuing just having amazing days and just doing my best. Yeah. This is what we got going on here. It'd be awesome investment wise, if we stayed more in the present moment and didn't sacrifice so much now for the long term. And then Jesus came back before the long term. Now what it provided, it's it's, security that went great. But I think that is what Jesus does all the time. It's like metaphysically, it's like sacrificing that now for Jesus rather than holding the now for the later. Yeah. The hedonism versus got the later for you. Yeah. Yeah. Like, trust me to have the later for you. Yeah. The future whatever that is. So more podcasts more or less more do away with you. Fucking love you dog. The last thing I wanted to wrap ramble was I'm trying to say, one of the presentations Pastor Lyons was talking about a part in the Bible that I initially misinterpreted. And this actually might have happened a Sunday at church. But initially when I read it, it said that they you were subjugated to the elementary, the elementary guidelines of life. And then he was talking about how that was like in reference to a slavery. Yeah. The early with, Rebecca or with Ishmael and Isaac. Yeah. From Abraham. Because Abraham has a child with his slave. Yes. And then child with his wife. Right. And his wife is super old and he's super old. So it's like a miracle through their perspective. Like, this is impossible. All right. I think that's like, bruh. Yeah. And so then so instead of yeah, it was a I think he used he said it was a result of their impatience and their this faith or moment of un faith with God's long term plan, like the later we're talking about. Right. Yeah. We were saying partially. I was talking about that. Yeah. So he was describing that there was like regulations for the child born of the slave because of the fact that it was in slavery and it was a child. They like, had to have its decisions deferred to their someone else. But when I initially read the scripture, it kind of hit me that like one of the things that's drawing about mushrooms is that I thought one of my biggest fears as a kid was that life was really, like, plain and boring. And when you're reading a book about like, magic and dragons and fantasy stuff like, that's this cool imagination stuff we all kind of wish was real. But like, then you put the book down and you have to be in this boring ass, flat ass life. So they go to Comic-Con and love Star Wars and love Harry Potter, and we love that shit. We love that universe, Game of Thrones. We want to be there, right? Right. But it was this like fantasy lust for fantasy that was ultimately just like not here. It was just this grand game that we all distract ourselves with. But like we all slog through and get through just to bitterly have more fantasy time later, you know, but but the mushrooms opened this door that like, the, like the allegory of the Dragon is a metaphysical truth that's truer than true. Pointing to something that happens in life, that's what makes it true. Is that it happens in life. That's why it's relatable. That's why it's digestible. That's why we can can watch it and digest it on a subconscious level. We know what it is, right? You know what? It's symbolism can identify. Yeah. Yeah. And and then we translate it naturally, subconsciously even when we're not, we're like, I feel like Eragon. How how do you feel like him. How you feel like fucking a prince with a sword, you know what I'm saying? But it's like because we naturally translate it across like he's. I feel like I have to do the thing that he feel like I have to go on the hero's journey, the behavior that he's embodying. I need by that similar behavior right in my current day or whatever that is for me. Like it's like Jon Snow, like, yeah, fuck yeah, that's a dog, right? That's him shit. But like, it's it's almost like the Jordan Jordan Peterson quote where he's like, you're watching animated lions run around on the screen that talk. It's like, how does that make sense to you? You know. But it does make sense to you. And that's like the mushrooms are showing me that like this life isn't flat. And it's so nice to know that that like, then when I was reading on the screen, I was like, when you were a youth, like you had to live by the elementary principles. And I was like, that does seem like what happens when you're a kid is that you do kind of have to live in like flat, free to play life. Yeah. We can't, you know? Yeah. But once you get to the membership, it gets a little scary, bro. It gets. Wow. What you find out, like, all the stuff in the books is really like Harry Potter. It's not a fucking book. It's like a story about a good life. The arc. Yeah. The archetypical hero. Yeah. And archetypical hero's journey. And that you are should strive to be an archetype. To be a hero to. Yeah. Your life would be thankful if you had those experiences. It's a worthwhile thing to watch, thing to engage with. And you're, you are the thing and you are the observer. Like you have to watch something. You're watching something always. That's like, give me something good to watch. Give me the fucking hero story you're getting. I don't know everything you just said. Everything you just said. I think we figured that out on mushrooms. Yeah, that's like what I'm trying to point to right now, too, is like, there was something really drawing about the mushrooms because we started figuring out those things. Yeah. And I was like, this is fine, this is fine. This is making life so fucking cool. I want to, like, understand as much as I can about all of the metaphysical structures of a hero story, you know? Yeah. So, yeah, if you're thinking about me doing mushrooms 3.5. No, no more, no less. Set setting. Have a good day. If you think about going to church, go go go just go. Doesn't matter. Just go to a church near you. It doesn't matter. You can't pick a wrong one. Just go. If you do, you'll find it. You'll find the church home is just just just go, bro. Just go. The action and decision that you turn, the metaphysics, the true physics of being observed versus unobserved to make the choice to go to church, to put that attention on your life in that aspect. It, like life itself, reacts to that and create something for you that wouldn't have happened if you didn't switch from observe to unobserved and make that choice and give the attention to it, much like the football game. If you weren't there, then this thing wouldn't have happened, right? But because you showed up and put the attention, because I went to the men's conference, it's like all I'm now I'm in this day from like a choice of attention, you know? Yes. And then the day. So mind blowing that I'm like, I need to like, make sure I have properly aligned what I want to do here in life so I can have more of this because it's so fantastic. That's it. That's everything. Chase it all dog fucking love you guys. 500 more thousand more. Stay tuned for every room. Excuse me for like 30 000 years or more years go I bet you're loving peace. Peace.
