Welcome in, ladies and gentlemen. MJ 38 show episode 101. And is being the main things. Welcome to MJ 31. We'll be your professors today. First things first. Put the pencils down. Okay. Pencils down. Life is a filling process. I want you to feel this lecture. Life is a feeling process. It's a filling process. And here's the other thing is just listening. When you're writing, you're not listening. In college, I realized on any given lecture, I have two options. I can listen and absorb more, or I can write and remember more later. But when it comes down to test time and my guts working, I will have preferred to absorb it in the past. Because it's in there. It's in your subconscious somewhere. It's in there. I love oh, if you only choose one, you have to. Every time you're in a lecture, you can be right. Let's say you have to only choose one. I don't think there's another option. You know what I'm saying? Like, when I was in college, it was obvious to me. It's like, okay, what am I gonna do today? Am I going to sit here and listen to the lecture? Or am I going to try to write down all the key points? It's like one or the other, you know? I try to combine both as best of your ability. Just jot down some highlights. But yeah you need to be there. You need it. I think if you're there I guess just listening to it, if people can listen to it or not watch, I guess that's what if you're just going to write it down, listen to it and not watch. Yeah, see what you're saying. But in my mind, I feel like when you're writing, you're not fully listening. Yeah, it has to be focused on writing. But I like the writing. Can you remember it, too? Yeah. For sure. And you can call that back out. So the thing is, is I turned I turned it into a podcast where I would remember moments of the podcast. I'd be like, oh, yeah, he was standing there and he did the thing, and he was wearing that shirt that I thought looked funny. And he said he daily said this thing like, I remember moments of the lecture in the test. I'd be like, oh yeah, I remember him saying that he said this and this and then then when you're studying, you got to make those correlative things too, like when you're reading the question, then you remember him talking about the answer in in lecture. Then I would like create that memory there. You know, I'm not taking any notes at all and just going off the dome, I like it. There was a couple classes where I said, yes, that's what I did. Wow. That's crazy. And I would do good, like philosophy. I got away in that class and I mostly just listened. And then you study before the test. So that way you wrap your mind around what the questions are. But just like for the lectures, I was just, like, engaged, you know? Yeah. Is being present fully present. And I don't ever recall on that. I have a couple classes where I tell my people that, and then I'd ask them, like, what a bother you if you gave me your notes and I just, like, copied the notes later with like my memory of the listening. And they were like some I had at least two classes where people let me do that, but it felt like an awkward ask. I don't want to take these fucking notes. Can I get yours later? But I was legitimately like, yeah, I just realized this fucking guy, but I but I was a better student when I was just listening round the corner. We're coming back home for third base right here. Yeah, I invite you today, as my dad says all the time, put down the Bible, but we're not in church right now. But, like, put down the pencil and just be in the moment. Absorb this. Give it a I've seen that move in the in the sermons. Yeah, right. Like stop writing. Like, hold on. Just be right here. Yeah, yeah. And for this podcast, I invite you to be right here with us. How are you doing? Welcome to the show. Right here is nice. It's beautiful. It's the best thing in the world. Some people struggle with that. Yes, I think we're all struggling with that. I had a day where I was really struggling with it. Like I just couldn't stop get. I couldn't get out of my head. Yeah, just be in the moment. And I was like, I don't normally struggle with this. This is annoying. She got some too much stress. You're thinking about finances and scheduling curriculars, bro. How much extracurriculars, bro? It's like it was hard for me to just be in that moment. And so if you're struggling with that today, ask the good Lord to intervene in your circle to be present. As for divine intervention, so that you could just feel the feeling of being present with this. Amen. Thank you Lord. How you doing Justin? What's up man? Doing great bro. Life is so good. The moment is so nice. If you could just get to it. That's all we're all trying to do. I love it, and we're talking about one way of getting to it is the physical bodies we got here. And my boy is lost. Lost down around 14 pounds on the scale. And there's a body recomposition methodology to that behind the scenes. So it's like the numbers. You can't really touch a scale all the time. Well first of all congratulations. Thank you. That's what I've done. I didn't mean to make this all about me. Not on this. This up. But that's the precious for the thing I was to talk about. Totally. Because you were like, yeah, because it's not. It's not about one day. It's not about one time you missed a meal and one time you're Mr. Fasting window, or one time you ate a piece of cake. It's the continuity of that day over a week. And then if like over the course of a week, I remember learning because I was like, certified personal trainer, Gold's Gym for a little bit. I wanted to pursue some sort of physical avenue of making money and like, self-expression because I'm working out for a while. But then, yeah, being a personal trainer, it wasn't like a exactly what I wanted to do, or I was like, found out I had other time obligations. I was like, yeah, I'll I put that down, but I'm in corporate debt and 2038 like what I'm doing right now. Exactly. Right now, because I learned it's like 3500 calories in a week is roughly what you want to to lose, to lose a pound as far as the deficit. So if you're down 500 calories every day for a week, that's a pound. That's a good setting. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. Let's try to maintain that 500 every day. Yeah. For a week you'll lose a pound per pound and then 500 calories per day. Looks like you burn 3000 and you eat 20, 500. That's that's relatively easy for an athlete to do. Yeah. You burn 4008, 30 like three, like 3000 to be safe. Technically, I think that what that looks like hitting a 3200 and you're calculating in your calculator, you know, it's like if you do an hour of weights that it's real, you keep it intense, keep your heart rate high. That's important because you can not burn a lot of calories lifting weights if you take it very, literally. Sloth like I forget what the word, the word lethargic. If you're super lethargic. Yeah. Then then you won't burn that many calories lifting weights. I know this from tracking with the Fitbit for maybe like two years. And then I kind of got it. So then I stopped. So keep the heart rate high and then do cardio 20 to 30 minutes to. And you'll probably get close to 1000 calories, especially if you're active at your job. So then if you're naturally burning 2000 calories, burning that extra thousand can be kind of difficult, but not that difficult. And then with the dieting that looks, I mean, 2500 calories, that's you could do that in just breakfast, lunch and dinner. And you don't it wouldn't have to be that healthy of food choices per se, but you just have to not fuck yourself with really bad choices to hit that 25 all the time, all once in a while, just in case you've never, like, tangibly tried to do that or like you don't work out like that or you don't die like that, that's kind of what that would look like. Just just effort on both sides. Yeah, yeah. And you can even like just increase the heat or increase the intensity in the temperature by doing some intermittent fasting with those calories allotted. You know, I think that I think that's supercharges it for sure. I can't quite figure it out other than fasting. It's crazy. I think that I did lose more fat than I expected to lose at a faster rate than I expected to lose it. And and it's like, what do you attribute that to? The only thing it could be is that the fasting. But it doesn't seem like that much for me. It really just feels like not eating late night snacks and then just waiting a little bit longer for breakfast. Yeah, that's about it. That's like all it is, is the only difficult part about intermittent fasting is the intentionality you have to apply to having your last meal before your window closes, especially if you're working out, because I'm like, I can't not eat dinner like two days in a row and only have eaten breakfast. That's like an A, I'm I'm not going to be okay. Like I'm trending downward. I'm gonna feel sick, you know what I'm saying?

So, you have to be like, fuck, it's 9: 7:21

00. I have to eat right now. I'm, like, about to miss my window. I've got to, like, eat this food right here, right now. So, like, normally, food doesn't have to take a priority. You can just put food, like, I'm gonna take care of this, this, this, and then I'll eat whenever I have time. Yeah. It's like, no, you have to be like, I gotta eat right now. Yeah, that's the only hard part about it, in my opinion. Yeah. Wait, everybody hold. Yeah, the window's going down. I gotta eat chicken sausages. I'm so sorry, Indiana Jones. Yeah, I've done I've done that to you at work a couple times where I'm like, did I need my chicken? I'm sorry. I forget what you look like. Hey. Yeah. From just five chicken sausages to my dome. Does this guy do what you gotta do? Yeah, but, what? All the reason I'm really get into the weeds about it with you guys is because I know people want to lose weight, and it was pretty simple to lose fat at a pretty good rate. It could be, Yeah, it's not easy, but a simple, very simple. Yeah. Caloric deficit and intermittent intermittent fasting is the double edged sword. Or it hits you on both sides with the with the double positive because it makes it easier to restrict your calories because you're literally cutting off hours that you're not even eating. Yeah. And then yeah, then like the fasting process itself and how your body handles the fasting process and giving your body like 16 hours or so of a break from digesting and doing all that and allowing itself to it has some healing powers. But I'll be talking about fasting before when I when I get sick and whatnot. I remember mentioning that, but the fasting just has its own crazy powers, bro. I don't tell you. It's like a sauna. It's like an ice bath. No, there's. I have a video from Julian that talks about what happens when you fast for 36 hours. Like that's a lot. At eight hours, this is happening at 12 hours. 24, 30, 36. And it's like it's your organs and they're like animated. They're talking. And then there's like the person. It's like, hey guys, we're going too fast. Everybody's like, what? It's like, no more food. They're like, what are you doing? You're going to kill us. But then it gets to a point where like after 12 hours, they start to have positive benefits. So that's why you aim to have a 16 hour window. It's because hours 12 to 16, some crazy like your body realizes, oh shit, we have to send extra nutrients, extra cells to repair. Send them. Send the reserves. Yeah. Following the troops. Call the cavalry because we don't have the food to use and it's getting scary. So then when they send that extra I'm scared resource to your liver and your kidneys and your stomach, it's a big bump for them. And then the reason I go to 36 is between 24 and 36. If you have damaged cells in any of your organs, your body sends something akin to like a stem cell, and it gets rid of and replaces the damaged cells in your kidney. But you could carry a damaged cell in your stomach for ten years. Like it? Like when you were 25. You something, I don't know, drank too much more eating right, eating too much Whataburger at midnight at ritualistically. I might just be talking about my own story, you know, and then fridge. Then you're 35 and your stomach just like crazy, always hurting. You can't eat certain things. Got to avoid. You can't eat rice because it's like, makes your stomach throb. You can't. Not sure what's going on with that. Then if you do this one time, you could repair cells in your stomach and then just be better. So, 36 hour fast, there's I that you were like, I don't know what's going on. I don't know what's going on either. But like, that's a brief kind of like layman's summary. Whatever. That's even what that's what that's pointing to. Yeah, it can make it super worthwhile. But the charges are Barry has super crazy natural powers, you know, natural abilities. We're producing DMT in our minds right now. Am I am I wrong? I had a moment where I felt like I was releasing DMT last week and it was hard to handle. Okay, if you want to hear that story, I don't play right on a jetski. Yeah, it was just a lie. I was just touch it, okay, I can remember it was the day that I took a cut from work Friday. Yes. So, like, I'm in the gym and it was just a lot because like, my whole day was telling me to that it was an off day. I'm like, this is an off day. I'm not. It was like, man, I just felt that I'm hugging the mike so much. Okay, all right, here we go. Let it go. Oh, sorry. Okay, so now you're talking about trying to be a listener. Tell me about Change Me. Okay, so it was. We're trying to go. I'm trying to go hard for October. I got really inspired by the sober October, ton of fasting this past year. I feel competent in the fasting field, but on this Friday, it was just. I was just at an all time low. I woke up feeling bad. I had a migraine. When I woke up, I knew it was because of my fasting and a couple nights of not wanting to make the food and take it to work, or being at work and not wanting to stop working to go eat my food where I was just like, fuck it, I don't eat dinner. I'm like, I'm good, I can do it. I've seen myself the already a few times this month. It's so weird how my body doesn't need food like I used to. I can just go, I'm good. It's crazy. And so the Goggins bro? Yeah, you don't. You don't need it. And it's funny because I thought I didn't need it. And then after six weeks of fasting, it's just like, just different, bro. It's so crazy. The brain chemistry changes the way you think about things. Change the way you. Yeah. The way you conceptualize what's normal or what's achievable. Like a 36 hour fast. It's not a I could do it. Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've done I've definitely done over 24 for sure. I've, I've done close to like 30. There's times there's times where you just you eat breakfast. That's how you do it. You eat breakfast at like 10 a.m. and then miss your dinner before your window closes. So then you wake up 10 a.m.. It's been 24 now. It's just 12 hours of intentionality and you can do anything for 12 hours. So then that would be the I could do it so easily, you know what I'm saying? You can make it happen. Okay. Backpedal to what the fuck I'm talking about here, which was feeling like DMT dropped the oh yeah, brain at work. Okay, so then. My whole day is telling me you need to, like, recover. You need to recover. I didn't have any food in my fridge. I woke up with a migraine from being hungry and I didn't quite have time to go to the store because I didn't want to use that time. I wanted to try to finish some content for my friend, and I didn't get the content done. And then I look at my laundry basket, trying to figure out a workout outfit. I have no fucking clothes. I literally I literally have no clothes. No more underwear, no more socks to match. No, no more, no more dope shorts. I think I've got a pair of some really short Adidas shorts that were mislabeled, and I bought the wrong size. I want to wear those and I'm just like, fuck bro. And then I scramble together. I think I just throw on like, I find in a gym bag an old gym outfit that I had stored for a gym workout that I didn't go do. And I'm like, what are the odds I have this care package? Oh my God, I just keep on moving, get to the gym. And I'm just, like, sweating this whole time. I don't know what it is, but I just feel like clammy and like a sweaty fuck. And I get outside and the sun's beating down on my migraine. I'm like, God damn it, bro. And I get to the gym and I'm like, I haven't eaten like fucking since yesterday. Breakfast. I'm like, I don't want to do this bench. I don't think I could even do 185 and I'm trying to go up to 205, and then I go into the gym. I'm just like, shouldn't the basketball? I'm just like, this is thick, dude, I don't like this. And then at that point they're offering a client. I'm like, no, like, I'm not. I'll go to work. Like, I'll just do the thing. And I'm sitting there and I'm like, it's no problem for me to fast. It's no problem for me to go into work and do this thing. But I felt like shit yesterday at work towards the end, I was very demoralized. My heart hurt. I was having a bad day yesterday, feeling I'm having a worse day today and I know I could go through with this and tough it out, but I remember on Tuesday I was like, it just wasn't worth it. I should have just taken the cut. Just like money. The time was in my life balance and stuff. It just wasn't worth it that day. But then October's about doing collect all of them. Collect all of them. I don't care if it's not worth it. Do the fucking workout. Go to the workshops like obedience training. Do it. I'm like I understand that and I can follow through on that, but I legitimately feel like I should just go home and eat and then come back and work out, do catch up on my laundry to finish the content, do all that shit. So I just ask if I can do that. And they're like, oh yeah, I definitely. And then I'm like, feel it. Now I've transitioned into, I've executed this plan and I'm starting to feel. Like, hi, first of all, like the sunrays are coming in through the the windows of the basketball gym and like, shifting as my day shifts. Now we're like a lot of natural, almost sunset like yellowish light is coming through where it was not as intense and more pale before. And I don't know why I'm noticing it so much. And I'm just like wondering if I made the right choice, the wrong choice. I'm going to play basketball now that I've got a little bit of free time, I'm here that we're going to play. What if I get injured today? What if I tear my Achilles and I'm like, you shouldn't have. You should have gone to work, you stupid fuck. Now I'm just, like, weighing all this shit out of my mind, and it's just, like, hard to breathe almost, dude. And I'm like, I feel like I'm high as fuck weight on your chest. Yeah. I'm like, I think that's the right choice through the tea leaves. Like, I'm not being a bitch. Like I know how to fast. I'm like, do you pussy? Because you're not doing it right now. Like, what are you. You're not doing the thing like, I don't know. I still don't know. Okay. But then I then I paid a service to that. I'm like, okay, let's do the thing, let's work out. Let's go home and do all the laundry and get the groceries and do the thing and re-up for sure. But then I'm like, man, like, you need to go hard because you're not. You're still not going as hard as where you want to be. You're not at the level you want to be at. The only way you can get to the level you want to be at is if you keep going hard. And today you just decided openly in the season of going hard to that it was the right thing to not go hard. So you're you're back is in the corner pussy. Like you gotta go. And I'm just like. The only thing I can do is ask Jesus for strength. So only thing I can do is surrender to God. Yeah. In the middle of not doing the thing that I'm running to God for the strength to do, it just was making me sick. Did it was making me sick. But I needed it. I needed to recover. Yeah. And I'm like, that's the thing is, you had depleted too far. You fucked up a while ago. And then now you were like, I want to slap the floor and play defense. And you can't because your Gatorade cups fucked up because you fucked up a while ago. So you got to, like, get all the way right, dog, like, keep trying to go up because it's a long season. It's like this game was unwinnable, bro. Like starting left guard was out. I know you really locked in in a long season. Watch a lot of film, bro. A long season. Yeah, that's a it's a long season. So one of the reason I got animated into Let's start the podcast is because I thought this my bridge back into, like when you were talking about a week is like fucking up one day isn't going to, like, necessarily harm you. But you can not live in that mindset. You can't stay there. You can't live in the place where it's I'm like, oh, I don't need to do it this morning because I've got other mornings I can do it. It's like, that'll kill you. And there's going to be days where it's like I needed to re-up that day. So like you can't be like okay no more I'm on my last, I'm on my last strike. Don't take any more strikes because sometimes sharks are just fucking coming. They're coming. Exactly. That's the thing. So just get fucked up sometimes, you know? Yeah. Accidents happen. Mistakes, other people's accidents. That's like. So I know I'm talking a lot and I'll get off the mic. But the moral of all of that thought, the thing that I'm trying to present to you is that my perception of just like, just like up or down and you feel the density, just like it was just hitting me hard, dude. Yeah. I felt lit up. I felt like I, I couldn't just go back. That was actually what I was describing when I was saying I was two in my head one day, and I knew what it was like. And so if you're going through that, like, I want to pray for you because I'm like, I can't stop it. I'm like playing basketball, but I'm just like thinking about all of these things, you know? And it was just like running through my body a little bit. I was trying to see if I could feel it coming from my spine out to the rest of me, if that's like, what I just didn't does, I don't know. Yeah. The other weird thing, though, is that I was playing the best basketball of my life too, just hitting it. At one point I get a stagger pick off a ball steal, and the whole defense collapses on me while I'm like, catching and running to play basketball. It was people. Yeah. Oh, shit. Yeah. And I can't be present in the moment because I'm tripping on the jersey and it feels like, dude, I was like a lot going on in my eye, but wow, this is all happening. Dude, pick the ball off. Go pull up from half court, turn around and look at my teammates. Was they face like, you know who the fuck I am? You know who the fuck I and I watch them I watch them go from why do you shoot that for people. Why do you to oh. And I was like, that's what it feels like. Oh yeah, I've done it before where I shot and turned around and it's gone in and I had to ask. I'm like that one it right now. Yeah, yeah. Good shot. But that one was different. I looked at them and they were like oh my oh got me. And they're looking at me looking at them like oh that's some him shit dude. Holy shit, I'm a dap. You up. That's different. It's so like that. And I'm curious Steph Curry embodies that. Whatever that thing is, it literally I'm like, that's what he feels like. That's that's what turning around like I didn't get it before, but when you see their faces electrically lit up and then they're looking at you looking at that, that's why you do it. I just did the thing I was doing. Just let me watch you watching me do the thing. Yeah, yeah. I was imitating Steph Curry when I was turning around, but then I understood why he did it in that moment for the heat. Yeah. And so that and then I didn't want to be like stories. You won't believe I did some cool shit the other day bro. There's like a phrase for it when someone's just like bragging about some shit that no one would ever some shit, you have a halo or whatever. But to tell you that I am like, sickly in my own head at some level. Like tripping on this heavy weight of not being good enough or not going where I want to go or like manifest in life. I want to manifest because I'm feeling all this. It feels like I'm. I'm asking myself, are you on DMT right now? And then physically with my body, I'm just playing. And I made three game winners, three games in a row. By the third one, I'm like, just give me the ball. It's like I'm going to shoot this. I know this is going in anywhere, anytime, anyplace. I'm going to do some Boogie got him. So and then I'm trying to be like, does that mean I made the right choice? And then after a while I'm like, just leave the gym like or go lift the weights, like get out of playing basketball because otherwise you going to spend the whole day just playing basketball. That's fucking dumb. And I was like, I need a service this day. Like I need to make it okay. You want to recover? Then recover. Like actually do it, get caught up. So then when you do four loads of laundry, dude, it's crazy. It's crazy how. And then I'm still kind of tripping when I get home and I just first I just like, got all the trash in the trash can until it was full, then tied it up, pulled it out, and then pulled out the trash can and then, like, swept up around all that area right there. And then took a step back and I felt two degrees better, just like a little better. Yeah. And I was like, that's what this is, man. Like, as you see, some do it, you see, some do it and then I so the more then it got to half the sink, the dishes, I felt a little more better countertops, whole thing. And then by the time I'm done, like as I'm recovering the house, my spirit is like, not feeling like, you know, when you're on mushrooms and you're like, this is a lot, bro. I feel like I'm looking at too much on my own a lot right now, bro. Like deep. Yeah, bro. It's a lot going on. I started to feel better, like, enjoy the trip. I'm like, oh, that's just a trip. Being. I think the feeling of feeling better is like getting closer to the moment that we were talking about the very beginning, like what we're talking about, like, be here, be present. If you can be fully present and fully here, you can find it like I think it's it's love. It feels amazing. Yeah. But there's so many things pulling you away from that. And then whenever you're like, cleaning your house and some of those things that are pulling you away from that, or like allowing the some of the naturally occurring bullshit that you have to deal with, we all have to deal with day to day. Gotta get groceries, toilet paper, fucking toiletries. Brushing your teeth is hygiene, daily maintenance and then your fucking your financial bills and your like, career goals or whatever job you're working right now. How you how are you supporting how you eating? You're talking right at me, bro. You're looking right at me. And those things are pulling us away from the moment. If we can get rid of all those things, they're all pulling us away from the moment. But that's part of being human is having all those things on you. Yeah. So whenever you can conquer those things slowly, one by one, you are literally getting closer to the moment or those things don't pull you as much. Yeah, there might be other things that pull you, you know, but we're all just trying to adhere to the moment because it's so beautiful. Yes. So loving. Everything is good. Yes, everything. Everything's good here. All of those things are going on like I think I've heard it all have. The field goal kicker described as someone who can. Their job is to step into a moment and be comfortable. Their natural, their routine, rhythm. They're competent there, but some people can't even get into the how games on the line. My wife's at home picking on me was on the line. You're away in a playoff game and you're a kicker in the snow. What the fuck are we talking about? This is some crazy people. Maybe you got a tumultuous relationship, and then you got a son who's like 12 getting into football. Not sure if he thinks kickers are lame and you're like some health shit. It's health shit. Hell yeah. Dude got some family drama going on. It's like, how how able are you to hold those things, be a good man to those things, give full respect and authority and or like, effort and energy and importance and. Yeah. Yeah. And the right kind different fucking big dragons dog. They're huge and able to transmute into the moment and then be good at your job. It's like everyone has to do that all the time with everything but a field goal kicker, a place kicker that it's like hyper magnified that that's literally there just as the moment, yeah, we could win or lose the game. Right now, they don't even have another job on the team. No, you know they're doing that and doing kick offs right. Sometimes. Sometimes some guys are just that guy. Yeah. It's because they're so good at that. You know what I'm saying. Yeah. So anyways. But it's it's, it's really magnified in that place. Another thing I heard about being in the moment, someone described Michael Jordan as his best skill. And the reason why he was so good was because he was able to be in the moment, better than anybody else, just to be playing basketball. It's like, give a fuck about anything. I'm playing basketball. I'm like floor slapping. I'm in this moment. I'm competing with you right here until you want to go back to your life, you want to start thinking about your team. New York, the club, your wife, whatever the fuck you do to get by in life, to have a good time to enjoy things. I'm here until you're ready to go back to that, because you could. You can't be here anymore with me. I'm like, that's fucking powerful, bro. That's powerful bro. That's crazy. It's also derailing as deep. If you live like that, you'll miss you miss out on some things, you know? It's a sacrifice. It's a sacrifice? Yeah. He was. Yeah. There's a different a different mindset of channel of the now the moment it's been engaged. I think that's really it. Like I he knew what the reporters were writing in the cities he was going to because he was that engaged with the game of basketball, with the league, with the standings, with the culture. I think he was really just locked in. And some it's easy when you're fascinated by it. You have a passion for it, you love it, you're addicted to it. He was able to be the hero that how to get really easy to be the good. It wouldn't be the hero in the narrative of the story. Yeah, he was just definitely getting bucks that saying that he was a particularly amazing person. I don't I don't think he's a particularly bad person. I don't know anything about him. But as far as on the basketball court, that man was the hero. Yeah, six and out. We'll never understand what he was at. No. Argument ender in my opinion. Frankly. Yeah. Yeah. He never got to be the not winner at that point. You have to finish the argument. Yeah, he broke the story. Yeah. He became the I guess Tom Brady to to two degree. He did the thing. I mean we're all trying to write a great book Eli. He did. That's why that's another story that I love. We're talking about Tom Brady. It's kind of sad that he lost those ones. But for Eli Manning story to have to beat Tom Brady like that as a 16 year brother. Yeah. And you're the younger brother. Yeah. His story is crazy. You know how many times he got kind of shit on because he wasn't Peyton. It's like yeah well I fucking I got him you know I you know what I mean. It's nice. Yeah. Yeah that's cool. That's a cool terrible though. Yeah. His story's cool. So like the cool story as much as when we talk about Tom Brady. It's like he didn't have to take his lumps on like made Eli Manning go. Yeah. And that made his story so cool. I read his fucking book man. It really is great. It's oh it's in my bookshelf. Nick Foles I'll give it to you man. It's awesome. Nice I read it. It's on Spotify probably. Yeah I read it in like three weeks over December and Christmas time. Just coming home and reading an hour night. It's not that long. But yeah it's it's really faith based, faith based Christian guy who just believed in doing the right thing, trying to be the best he can be was okay with being the backup. And just like, really, stewarded that team in that position and then gets called upon in the second half of the Super Bowl to lead them into the promised land. And it's just like, makes you want to cry, man. He's just doing the right thing and call this number. And he came through and he won that game. A beautiful man, beautiful story, beautiful story, beautiful story against the Goliath, you know. Yeah. Thanks, bro. Yeah, dude, that's you know what I'm saying. So joining us to be the hero though. So that's an argument ender. Yeah. Yeah. His life is really cool. The stories are so great when people love it. Just like, fuck you. I'm going to play baseball. Like, I'll just go do other things, bro. I'll do whatever. I want you to take my talents to another sport. And then he's like, all right, I'll come back. Fuck South Beach, think of the Mars dude. That was. Who was that? Both Bo Jackson that took us down to South Beach. No, that did it. Both. Oh, yeah. Yeah, yeah, he was talented enough. I guess his thing was he. He got injured. He got injured because he got wraparound tackle, which they outlawed nowadays. But it's they pretty much I think the reason they ended up getting outlawed is because there were similar Bo Jackson injuries. But what ultimately happened is a guy was wrapped around him from the back because Bo Jackson's running away from him because he's fucking amazing. So it's like the only ways you can tackle him really. So is guys like, And then Bo Jackson took a strong, hard, horse driven step forward and ultimately pulled his hip out of socket because of how he had. Yeah, he was too strong, destroyed his own body and then just couldn't run the same after that. Yeah, yeah. Some sort of fucked up leg lower body, you know, yanked himself out. The other thing is it it tore his hip on a blood vessel and the being torn on the blood vessel really fucked him up. And it was, like, dangerous at that point. It was different than just a normal injury to look like anything crazy, either. No. On film, when you watch it. No, it's nothing crazy, but it cooked a man and he was a legend. Yeah, that's a sad story. Stories. But fucking stories, man. It's always a sad story. This is where he is for, I guess, the 35, 30 minutes, 35, 30 some crazy out there. I see it like the story of sports. Like, oh, yeah, Bo Jackson. Yeah. Right here. I remember it was an artery. Yeah, yeah, dude. Bo Jackson the style. Yeah. But, Michael. Jack, it's a it's a sacrifice to get to the other. I was sacrificing, and it's just cool. Like I said, Michael Jordan got to be the hero every time. We'll never know what he lost. He lost on his way up, you know? But he. When he was there, though. No, you had to get through the Pistons. Yeah. You had to get through New York. He had to go take Dennis Rodman for the second run. That had to feel cool for him. You know what I'm saying. To have that second team. And then he had to be like a good leader and self-sacrificial like well he really helped Dennis Rodman because Rodman really respect anybody else. He had it help Scottie because Scottie was getting like pushed out of the limelight but also like he was pushing him out of the limelight. So you'd like figure out a way to deal with that mentally and like make the team work. And then also like Steve Kerr wanted to punch him in the face. So on some level then he has to pass the ball to Steve Kerr so that they can win a championship. You know, it's like this is a lot. There's a beautiful story of it. It's a great dance. It's fantastic. Yeah it's cool. We love the story. Students that I befriend that my story ends up a happy, you know I guess comedy. Not a tragedy. You know? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Ultimately it's just the belief that whatever your story is, it was preordained. You know, wasn't helping me along with that. I just kind of made the connection is on a separate note, helping me a lot was just taking a life kind of lightheartedly has been a recipe for success for me. Another way I've put it is there's a book called The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck. It's like how to not stress yourself out, and I think that it's nice, whatever that books about. I think I've been doing that. It's just like being lighthearted. So I'm not taking anything too seriously except, you know, I want to be doing what I'm doing. But as far as, like, I don't know, my attitude or my mood sort of being like, oh, oh, I'm going to do it. I don't know why look good. I'm the fucking, I'm going to don't bother. So it's like how it normally can be sometimes internally, it's like I'm just like, it's not a force, Frank. Just like execute, execute vibe, chill. And then that would when I said comedy or tragedy, I'm like the mood of a comedy like am my lightheartedness fits that. You know, I'm always able to see the happy ending. Well, that's good to get the silver lining. Yeah, that's it's either comedy attracting that's the defining distinction or like distinction differentiating factor. I didn't know that makes sense when you say all that ends well. Yeah yeah yeah that's beautiful. So I guess yeah the silver lining is important. One silver lining is the more you suck out working. Yeah. Look for as if your life depends on it, you know, that's the all's well that ends well. That's the, the core stones of that philosophy comedy. Yeah, yeah. I just as. So maximize your contribution. Work hard, follow God. Yeah, right. Clay, man. Yeah. Still. Podcast. Yeah. I heard that song that they like. They released. What was it called? People hating. I didn't listen to shit bangs. Right? I just saw him passing on Instagram. I was like, okay, okay. This is kind of like, what's it called? People. Hey, people. Hey. That's cool. It was like the Spotify push and stuff. Now it's just on Instagram. Oh, nice. That's cool. It was just a video on their page and it just got suggested to me. Nice. That's cool. That's of Joe Rogan, I guess. And shit I have to do. Well, yeah, I wrote them together because like, I was pointing to the idea of like, yeah, work hard, follow people, ask me how to make it, and I don't know what to tell you. I don't know how, I don't know, you just got I think. Yeah. If you maximize your contribution and always are trying to be in a relationship with the thing that gives you the ability to identify a silver lining, it's like that consciousness that that's wisdom to, you know. Yeah, that's wisdom. Yeah. But thinking about what maximize your contribution. So yeah I guess two different, you know, like the spirit that allows you to identify silver linings and then the spirit that allows you to be disciplined enough to take the now stressors off of you or build a some sort of combatant strategy to fight dragons. Yeah. What about him on Have Voice? Yeah, yeah. It's like, how can you for your mind. Yeah. If you go forward for your mind and like, just look for the silver lining. You're good. I said dog. Yeah. That's why Goggins is amazing. So we fuck people like that with those kind of stories. Goggins is story or like campaigns, crazy people going nuts. Yeah, doing impossible shit. Yeah. This the current circle. When you speak about fortify your mind, I think it's like the current circumstance, no matter how depressing it is, no matter how despair, it is stressful, all of that. It's just like. God, there's a God is a good, good father who has a plan for your life. God is bigger than both of those things. I was talking 100%, you know what I'm saying? All he's doing is like, from the lens of a loving father with love and passion, trying to help you to follow the way, the truth and the light to what would be the best possible outcome you could have for your life, which is God is omnipotent, ever present. But on another, the upward limits of the beauty of your life is unbeknownst to you, unbeknownst to me, unbeknownst Justin, unbeknownst to you, it's two nuanced and complicated for how beautiful a situation could truly become. The way that like the way you got the job and what you actually do with the job and what you did as a kid with your father, and how it connected with the thing. It's like it can make the artist that is walking into the door of work so uniquely beautiful to you, that no one else would understand it if they had that job. But for you, that situation is everyday. Just like looking at such a beautiful piece of art. But instead of looking at an art that makes you say like, wow, that's it. People are good painters, I can, I'm shook. I'd be like, your life would be like, God, such a so amazing I'm shook. I can't believe this is what I do. Whatever's generating my experience of the moment, of the now, my mom, my, my presence, whatever I'm interfacing with every second. You know that thing? Yes. Like, oh. So beautiful. It's. Yeah, it's just art. Just makes you cry as art. Yes. Yes, bro. Exasperated. Yes. That's what my subtitle said. Yes. But okay. So what I'm describing though is that, like, you have a good, good father that loves you and is doing everything he can to have you just follow the way, the truth and the light. And that looks like this beautiful art life that that we're describing here. It's like his whole everything he's doing is trying to just to get you there, what she's designed for you. And and we're constantly being shitty kids like Israel and rebellion attitude, complaining, rebellious Moses in Exodus. That's what I'm talking about. Yeah, just shitty kids, bro. And it's like, I want to go back. No. Does any parent say, oh, I just have a shitty kid, bro. Like not ever not don't always get a go on. Same thing. No. Ultimately yeah. You're trying to have a the that the parental relationship or like the idea at least of the love that you have like your child, you know, it's it's just like a translated metaphor. It's lame and cliché. Parenthood is full of cliches. But I understand my relationship with God differently because I have a kid, because I love her so much. I'm just like, oh, I would do anything for this kid. Yes. Let me show you the world. Like what? I have the course correct you? Yeah. The way she makes me feel when she just wakes up in the morning. Like I wake her up, I pick her up, I sing to her, I set her down. She doesn't know, really, that I have just picked her up for her day, that I've just sang to her. Which is a weird thing to do. I just like singing. Good morning Demi, how are you? Okay, I hope you're feeling fine. So I get out of bed and wake up, you sleepyhead, because I love you all the time. This is an original. You know what I'm saying? That's my mom's and that's the kid Gasps I don't know if that's gas bro. Oh that's your dad. She wrote that or if that's from a thing in the 80s or what okay okay okay. But it means a lot to me when I do it. You know what I'm saying, dude. Yeah. That's keeping your mother's spirit in there, bro. Let's. She doesn't even though that's happening. You know, that's a no. You know, she didn't know when she was saying it to me necessarily. That was going to happen, you know. But I think she's still with us. She's definitely with us when I sing it in a different kind of spiritual way. So. Yeah. But she doesn't. Demi doesn't know you know what I'm saying? I'm, like, getting her ready for her day and like, the the I'm transcending the the blessed spirit of my mom into this moment so that she can feel and enjoy it. Like the all of the emotion attached to that is like a little bit unbeknownst to her. And then I, you know, she's like, stretching and I'm like, changing her diapers. I don't even really know I'm changing a diaper. I drop her in the bath because she needs a morning bath, and she's just like, oh, nice. I'm chillin. This feels all good. Good. She's super happy. And, like, she doesn't even know how much it means to me whenever I pick her up. And she just, like, cuddles up against me and is super happy. Like the emotion that I get from that right? It's like, if you could then I think about God as a father like that. To me, it's so different than how I ever would have, like wrap my mind, my mind around the words father, you know? Yeah, yeah. But like that level of love for wanting you to have a good life, that's like. It's not like he just wants your worship and you have to sacrifice your life away. And it's not like big government. Where are you going to be? Like, yeah, they're watching out for me, but I pay a hefty tax just like pure positive goodness and love and and we just rebel against that. All the time. Like it. That is our nature. Speak personally like dumbasses. Yeah. I don't know if you guys are like that, but. Oh yeah, life's just dealing with that. That's what we're doing here. So the Bible's pointing towards dude, my podcast are self lit. Yes. I took a step further. I'm sorry I'm talking so much. No, but nice. Okay, so but here's the thing. Here's where it gets tumultuous. Here's where life gets tricky. Tricky, finicky. I wouldn't call it difficult because God's on your side and he can make you win. You know you want. You literally already won. Yeah, but where it gets a little finicky on you. Is that like, if in that relationship it's like, oh, well, I'll just stop rebelling against God. It's like, he loves them. He doesn't want to rebel against me like, because she's this interested in the love that I'm giving her or like what it means to her. And it's like rebelling against God tangibly in life. It looks like us, just not doing the thing that we're supposed to do. And that's a much more tricky task. It's not like just making sure we call God and tell him we love him before we go to bed. It's like we would just do that. We would have that relationship with him where we're like you have with your parents or your spouse or anything else. There would be a person in your life that you just like, kept in your life, you know? But that's like it's literary. So what that literally looks like, though, is are you being a good person? Which is hard to define, but like, are you doing what you're supposed to be doing? Are you hitting the mark? Yeah. Are you hitting the mark? Are you true with your words and actions? Yes. And then the one thing about life is if you were just like watching life as an alien, I think what we do every day is fucking crazy. You get in your car and somehow you don't crash, so you make it there and then like also you have like finances. So you have these bills coming in, but somehow you balance that. So you have this health. You have to take care of it like you eat every day. That that's a we take that for granted because like there's a couple days where I didn't really eat every day, especially like it's fasting and shit like that. And I'm like, dude, to go out of your way to design three meals that fit your macros and like to buy the groceries and then prepare that food and then eat that food, it's a fucking do the dishes that you do to make that food. Yeah. How the fuck do y'all do that? I don't want to do that every day we write, you know that that we have that that's a thing pulling us from the now everyone's dealing with. Yeah, it's part of the game. I was feeling it heavy when I was like, damn, teacher. And that's one thing I thought about was like, it's just so much so complicated and we're able to blink it out for the most part. Yeah, like the truth behind it is so complicated. Yeah. Your thought process and like, your behavioral the actions of your thought process. Yes. Yes, bro. But to to to be on top of those things to, to manage the weight of that and to to take your personal trauma and do your, your best to turn it into love, not hate and and to and to me that that's when we talk about baring your cross. That's a lot of what that means to me is like the things that are fucked up about you, you're going to reciprocate out, reciprocate out of that and become someone who is more loving because of that. And and then you're doing that with a whole heart because you're bearing the cross that's like, you know, that's what you have to do here. It is difficult. Yes, but but the sacrificial nature of the Christ like metaphor, it's like you're it is hard, but that's the sacrifice you make to be a good Christian. So. But that that's what it would be like. Hey, man, how are you doing? Like, I miss you, man. So what do you been up to doing? You catch the game last night. That's how I have a relationship. You got your power. Yeah. That's how I have a relationship with Luke and with you. You know, I'm with Dylan, but the relationship with God is like. Yes, you communicate like that, but it's different because, like, what you're communicating about is your life. And like, it is the relationship that generates all your relationships. Oh, oh oh bars. Yeah, dude. So it's different. So that's what being a rebel conference and really wanting to like, you know, because I feel it. And I've heard pastors talk about it. It's like when you're at revival, you're so charged. Yeah. It's like, how does that translate outside of the church? You know, some of it's like you want to give back to the community, literally want to help other people. You know, like Soldier of God. I just got so tapped on the shoulders. I just got the new helmet. I'm ready to rock. I got another uni, like, let's go pray for people in the sauna and donate to charity and like, but I think a lot of it is also just like applying the Christian values that the Bible is trying to get you to conceptualize through all of its metaphors, because life is a bunch of metaphors on your side, so you're trying to translate these values and reintegrate them back into your own storyboard, and then to to do the Christian value within the storyline of your own story, however that looks for you. Yes. And your story. Tell my stories. Yeah. And then when I talk about aliens having that 30 degree view of us doing the impossible every single day, it's like you are doing the impossible every single day through the power of Jesus Christ. They're God's generation of your experience. There's a million things that could happen. You can have a flat tire any day of the week. Anytime you drive, you can get a flat tire, but you don't know at such a if we all got flat tires at such a rate that it was too expensive to drive cars, that would be like would imagine. Yeah, it would happen, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's like my windshield got cracked like a month ago before I moved into the new spot. And I was like, how often does that happen? You know, not very often. No, dude, I've never had that. I've been driving for a while now. And how many times have you had your windshield, like, cracked? I would say definitely. I can remember two times where I had to, like, intentionally get it fixed because it was getting worse. Yeah. You know. Yeah. One time I just came out of the gym and it was just cracked. I felt like somebody backed into me or something. Oh, yeah, it was fucked. It sucks. And then the other time, I think it was like a rocket. It. And it just slowly kept getting bigger. And so it's like, okay, you got to get this fixed. It's going to keep going. I got bigger quick to like, I guess it was hot, I guess. I don't know, but it was hot actually moving in September like middle September. So this happened maybe beginning September, end of August or yeah, somewhere that timeframe and just the idea that it's never happened before. And it's like the timing of things is no coincidence. And like the challenges that are presented, the limitations that are put on you at any given moment, always all the time, because it always are limitations being put on you, always at every single moment, and your ability to recognize those limitations and do the right thing or do the things that get you to the higher elevation, do the thing that gets you the extra mile energy. You know what I'm saying? Or like the I'm going to try to whatever that whatever that is. Yeah. You know. Yeah. The more Christ like energy. Yeah, the more the more proper upper aiming sacrifice. The only I can conceptualize and then you got to realize that there's something above your conceptualization. You gotta let go at some point. There's something smarter than you like, you don't know everything about everything I can like. Who's the Browns starting quarterback in 97. What's his completion percentage. Right. It's like you just don't know. Those things are irrelevant to you. But like what's making things irrelevant and relevant to you and your intensity towards the relevant things and making yourself do those relevant things. Some of it's your own perception. Yeah. Some of you are like irrelevant, irrelevant, irrelevant. But we haven't label everything irrelevant. But you do because we have to. Right? That's the whole food thing. Yeah, think about it. You don't even think about it. But you always talking about what you have for dinner. Oh, we have for lunch. A lot of conversation. Hungry? Let's go get some food. It's a lot of everyday conversation. We go on a date. It's always some food. Yeah. What do you want to eat? Anniversary of the sun. Go get some food. Yeah. Right. Just a ritual with all the things we're doing. Birthday. We're gonna make some food. Yeah it's Christmas, we're making some good food. Yeah. What. What are we doing it. What do we think about it? We feast, we feast. It's. There we go. I was trying to talk about wine to you earlier, and I think about wine. It's interesting because people, there's a Latin adage, why wine? Some people view wine as like a truth serum. Where n goes wine, out goes truth. That's a Latin phrase. Yeah. The idea of a spirit entering your body. And I guess having you behave more in line with what the spirit would behave with your, your chemistry. Yeah. With your, if it were your body, if it were your life like how you would be more like the spirit. Tequila's like you would rage a little harder. It'd be up a little later. We'd be. We'd be like feeling ourselves a little more. Feeling more confident. Whereas, like whiskey and beer, more and more southern drawl. I done gentleman molasses. Not my. That's what whiskey does to me. I don't know if that's what that spirit does to y'all. Yeah, I feel you. But it gets me more. I think it's a bigger leg stance, a little more laid back. And I want to smoke the cigar. And I want to take my cowboy hat a little lower. Yeah. And I'll accidentally fall asleep on the couch. Bourbon and cowboys. But tequila is different. I'm like, that's that's, I don't know, Mexico. What? I was like, you have to grow it there. Do you even call it tequila? I don't know, do you believe in spirits like that? Do you think that's the thing? I think that's maybe why wine has such a port sometimes. Because people have said that it could take you to another place. Or it's like a time stamp of, like a time in a bottle, you know, capturing the culture or capturing the year that year in this place. It could like maybe it has that. Maybe it's that spirit like it is in there. And people experience at different levels the same way that you have like the cowboy. Because I think of bourbon, I think of a cowboy, you know, I think I think of tequila, I think of the details, mottos, you know. Yeah, maybe that's just on our own perception. Our beliefs become our reality. But is that racist? I'm of wrong. Culturally, no. Cultural perception is literally the truth. Like you had to make Blue Weber agave in Mexico and college tequila can't make fucking tequila in your backyard. Yeah, you know, I'm with you. It's kind of disrespectful. Yeah, I guess you could. You could have an agave factory. And on paper, it's technically not tequila, but you'd be like, did. It's fucking tequila. I mean, it's the same recipe, bro. I just grew it over here in Nevada. So like there's that aspect to it. And then would those see this? What I'm saying is I don't think that that's at all. I think half of that is me just having a party feeling when I'm on tequila. And then that's my party feeling. Yeah. But like this up feeling though from the tequila that is specific I think to the tequila to what it. Yeah. To the ingredients that were put into the Brie. Yeah. What you got in your beer. How agave interacts with biochemistry is such that I think it's it when it hits me, how I perceive it is, it's not, but it hits everyone with something that I think takes them a little up a little, too. Like, I want to party, I want to dance, I want to, yeah, let's go to the next bar. Like I don't need to go home yet. Whereas the whiskey is legitimately more of a downer, a slower pace. Yeah, yeah. And I saw a good time on it. I still feel some, you know what I'm saying. So get loose in there. But yeah. So I think maybe each like in each wine bottle is like a spirit. Everything like each of the substances could have a spirit. And then there's like the, the, the spirit of the alcohol itself, you know. Yeah, yeah. That thing. So there's a spirit of tequila in a different way. Okay, I got, I got, I got it. Sorry. That was I hope you can do that as a viewer because like, the spirit of tequila is written in a Mexican tradition. Yeah. Like what it means when you're having tequila, how it should hit you, how the alcohol influences your experience. Right. Is different. But then also just that subjective right. That's subjective. And then objectively, it's like a Mexican thing. Right? Right, right. You know I'm saying yeah. Yeah. So yeah when we say spirit there's a lot going on there. And it does have different biochemistry effects per spirit too. But you could it doesn't tequila keep you or like a more of a. Yeah of it like an upper. I've heard that call locally for sure but also just like experience it as well. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Like witness to it you know. So that's why I believe in it. That's why I'm like spirits is a weird word. Yeah. Yeah. If we're going to go like out on a birthday I'm trying to like you know have tequila and try the song Tequila Shots by Kate Curtis I think. Yeah. Yeah. Whereas there's different things. If sometimes you're having like I think with an anniversary, starting with champagne is a nice way to like set the tone. That's a good vibe. Champagne has a celebratory the aspect of the bubbles. Yeah. The Ascension, you know the one. Yeah. It's going up from the bottom. Yeah. Champagne definitely has a, you know, spirit, I guess, sparkling in, in general, I think kind of has that aspect to it. We had the Prosecco. Yes. Yes. And I was having that thing. Yeah. One of the things I'm trying to we can go down this line too. But what I started it from was to talk about that wine in goes wine, out goes truth. But then just like a separate thing, I was like, Tristram, really? But then I'm like, it's in the Bible. Like a lot drinking wine. Yeah, it's like a whole thing. Like you just drink wine and turn water into wine. That's what the wedding. One of the core principles of one of the tenets of the story, was to carry as a miracle, this first public miracle. Yes, that's canon, bro. Like that's canon. You can't take that off the record, bro. That was one of the first times Jesus revealed himself to like a group of people as like a miracle worker. And what it meant to them. He clearly didn't condemn drinking wine at the wedding. In fact, he understood it culturally enough to provide more in a better best one. Yeah, yeah. You know, at a time when he didn't have to do that, he goes above them. It's the extra mile dog as the extra mile. And it was because the contextual limitations of the story that is this person's wedding, it's not even like it's happening to him directly. It's this person's wedding. And the social ramifications are going to be on her mom. His mom's friend. Yeah. And his mom, I guess, by extension. Yeah, like very indirectly. But still it was like twice removed from it. And he's going to go above and beyond for this. Twice removed person above him. You know what I'm saying? That's what got a guy we got. That's a yes bro. Yes. The better is better the better is better dude. Like yeah. And follow it like selfishly, you know, like, don't you want an amazing life? That's that's also what you want. Amazing life. Of course you do. Duh. By definition, you know, it's just hard not to be fucking hard to get in the moment. So hard. Hardest. It takes all of you. Takes everything you got. Some people are so in the moment to they're almost a mouth breather about it because, like, thinking about don't you want a better life? It's not being in the moment or like sacrificing the moment for a better life. It's this bland. It's writing and listening like you're talking about, you know, it's doing both at the same time. It's like, I'm in the moment, but I'm using that moment for the, betterment of the moment. So that's what I do at the moment. But I'm not thinking about it too much is what I do at the moment. And just like dancing that dance and not fucking it up. Yeah. And that's can be difficult. But you can also get some rhythms. That's what they're really sacrificing the moments with your units of energy and time that you have aligned to you every day. Like, I feel what I'm like, I, I'm about to start the dishes, but I'm like, wait, wait, I could better a lot of my time units if I start the laundry right now so that while the laundry is going, I could do the dishes then. And then with the time I'm done with the dishes, I can move the laundry instead of vice versa. And that's just like a 32 tip. So if you there's a viewer out there that knows what we're talking about, I felt that you got to Tetris. That yeah, the dishwasher that touches that. Yeah, yeah. The dishwasher can also be a Tetris thing because it takes like 30, 40 minutes for the dishwasher to go. So I'm like, wait, no, hold on, do this part first. Well, not laundry, then this part, then that part, then this part, then that part. That this part. That's that's a good cue. That's how you solve the cue. That's how you get the key. That's how you chop out the weeds as efficiently as possible with as many strokes as you have every day, you know. Yeah, yeah. Unless you get a bigger sword and then you got a that's a whole different thing. But either way yeah. Yeah. But but that and I, I don't know if I want to say this, I don't know if I believe this, but my brain's playing with the idea of like that. That's what you should be doing with life. Is doing that sacrifice the best moment for the best thing? I mean, doing the dishes and doing the laundry sucks. It's not like fucking cookers and cocaine, you know what I'm saying? Or whatever. Margaret is on the beach. Sorry. I can think of, like, you know, the idea I'm trying to point to. Okay, I'm with you. It's not doing cool shit. It's not jetski rides. It's not sexy. No, but it's what you need to do. You have to do it. So, like, for the story to keep going, there's requirements like Hogwarts got to stay open. Someone's got to cut the fucking grass at Hogwarts. You know, I'm saying someone's got to do the plumbing. Otherwise Harry Potter can't happen. You know what I'm saying? Okay, you got to do that for your own life, too. It's like you can't just have a, like, you have a job. And to get to that job, you have a car. It's like. But your storyline is like, you're at work, but like, you better get your oil changed or you're not going to be at work like that. Yeah. Presupposition things, you know, and those require maintenance and upkeep. Life's a lot of upkeep, you know what I'm saying? A whole bunch. Hey, you're always talking about that much. The things you have to do every day to keep on having a day. And ultimately those are. And then doing those with a Christian value set and a good and a loving heart is like your best bet. Having the relationship with God we're talking about. Yeah, that's calling God and saying, what's up? The relationship that generates your experience. Have a relationship with that thing. Yeah. You've been talking about that on your birthday the most. Having it, sexualizing it like more and more. The more you say it, the more I think about it. What? Thank you for, like, the generator of the experience. Like, I want to have a relationship with the generator of the experience with the generator of emotion. Yeah, having a relationship with that thing. Because that scope is different. Is different? Yeah. It's like when Pastor was talking about you on church on Sunday with the yoke or whatever, he had like a yoke for the oxen. And just like the idea that he's like you, it's like, all right, here's like the spirits of I think it's in Galatians and he's talking about Paul is talking about like the spirits of the flesh, and then the spirits of the, or the, the fruit of the flesh in the fruit of the spirit, more or less the life, tangible life living of your experience in your moment, your fruits. Like what are you eating? Like the life you're living? Like what are your fruits? The fruits of the spirit and the fruits of the flesh. And then he was like, all right, the fruits of the flesh. Like, look at all that. Like you, if I struggle with a couple of those, we're all struggling with a couple of those. The fruits of the spirit. Like I'm not embodying those enough. It's like, okay, we're all not embodying those enough. It's not about trying to do either one of those things. It's about developing a relationship with the thing that is generating the choice to choose between those things and for yourself to conceptualize. I'm not enough in this area, okay? I'm doing good in this area, and it's like Jesus. So getting closer to Jesus will produce fruits that are the ones that you even want, you know? Yes, yes. The idea of that, at least the proper sacrifice in the moment. Yeah. And your ability to do it all into the power of Jesus, that's a developing relationship with that thing, allows you to do those things that you don't have to try to do these things at this level, but we have to we literally have to. We are hands on. We are in this bitch. Yeah, we're on this shit. Yeah. But all in the relationship with that spirit that animates this physical thing. Hopefully. I think I can testify to that for sure. Like developing a relationship with God. And my conceptualization of what's generating my experience has definitely allowed me to identify what needs to be done and do it at a better pace, at a better rate, and try to go above and beyond and try to go and try to push that limit in that direction. That's hard. And try to sacrifice, you know, what was the uppermost sacrifice? What's uppermost sacrifice? Yeah, I'm trying to do that. And like having a relationship with the creator of experience helps you actually do those things more than just trying to be really good at doing those things. Yes, it is both, though, because you have to maximize your contribution. That's the other part. That's the part that's really fucking hard. That is really hard. Okay. Yes, I wanted to say that there's, I don't know what I would call it, but when you're doing the dishes. And you get halfway through the sink and then like you're looking at the dishwasher and you're plotting the laundry and you're just like there's a moment in there where you're, it's not hard. Like you've crossed the threshold of the thing was hard to do. And now you're just like doing the diff. Like, yeah, you get to work and you get that first table, then you get that second table, and you don't quite have the third table yet, and you're just, I'm gonna do this, and I'm do this. And it's no longer difficult, but putting on the shoes to go on the run or tying up, like getting through traffic to get to work, that's a more on par metaphor. Without getting too crazy, it's like, that part's difficult. But then when you're in it and doing it, it's not so bad. Same thing with intermittent fasting. I would get in a run where they'd be like 2 or 3 days, where I just fasted and worked out and didn't break the window, and I'm like, Then I'm in a day where I'm like, I need to get past my window. I didn't quite work out and I'm like, far like go. I'm like in the midst of the struggle of not doing the thing that I say, I want to do. But like, there's also 3 or 4 day runs where it just like blue goes off. And yeah, you can't make excuses for yourself like, oh, I have runs all the time. That's scary place. But like, you can't shift the gears and get yourself back in the run of the it's no longer difficult. Yeah. You're just doing the thing. I think that's something you shouldn't that that's what the DDR looks like. If I'm gonna explain to you the dance steps. Yeah, it's like impossible. But then you're hitting it and then it's no longer possible. And then you got to ride that wave as long as you can, and then you get the bump and you shake it off, and it's Sunday nights are off. Then you took a rest day and you a little unhealthy, you know, Monday is coming around. You got to get back to going to work and put on the running shoes and making sure you did the laundry. And it's like, fuck it a lot. It's like, just catch the rhythm. Because also it's not a lot anymore. That's just what it is a lot. That's what it is a lot. It takes everything. It takes everything. So take everything you get all the time. You have all the mind space. You got to take everything you can cross, identify the proper sacrifice and you can do it. And it feels great when you're doing it. You're like, yes, yes, bro. Yeah, I'm doing when you're humming, when you when you're watching or you're washing the dishes, you're getting all the timing of everything, right? With the laundry and cleaning and wiping the floors and doing the fucking shit. And like, cleaning, I think, is they get you there as well. Just like the idea of keeping something clean, like a room like Jordan Peterson talks about, like, back in the day metaphors. Just like there's something about whenever you have that the spirit of that, whatever that is. Like when what's the spirit of cleaning and body? It's like cleanliness. Cleanliness is next to holiness. I heard that adage before, but I think there's a truth in that. It's pointing to an idea where cleaning represents a clean place versus a dirty place. Like, what's the if you're going to have to be in one, what would you rather like? Dah dah. Do it selfishly. You know what I'm saying? But time time's motherfucker time is, I think, clean resting on us. Cleanliness is, like, almost, almost tied to entropy. I think they could be like cousins. Because things just get dirty is it is. That's the one of the biggest parts of the maintenance thing. We, I deal with you your human and then also you like your surrounding environment. Just get dirty. Yes it is what happens. You wash it cause you get dirty again. You clean your dog, he's gonna get dirty again. Yes. Like your hair. Like, oh that's you. You can't even really go one day. Even if you do nothing all day, you still would be, like, dirty from the day. Yeah, yeah, I feel kind of. Yeah. I don't want to clean myself. Yeah. Cleanse. Yeah. So that's what. And then maybe that's why cleaning is such a powerful thing is because it's the proper maintenance of entropy and we're acting it out. So then when that translates metaphysically, it's like, what is that person doing? It's like handling entropy as well as it can. Oh fuck. That's powerful. Like situations get better in that you know. And it's a balance because you can't be the rate at which things are getting dirty. Does it exceed the rate at which you can clean them. So like you could be cleaning forever. That's almost gluttony I think is the idea almost metaphysically of are you over imbalance. So such that you're causing too much for you to be able to recognizably maintain. And that's that's a nonsense game like you can't it won't continue. So I think that's almost. Yeah. That you have to balance that. Do you know what I'm saying. Yeah. But whenever you're doing it right in your helmet you got a good little rhythm going on trying to build those rhythms in weeks. And then after enough of those weeks like just do that. That's it. Just have a good weeks. Yeah, that's that's like as far as you can get out. I think that's about as much as we got in our mental bandwidth of our creative power. I'll listen to the fucking Greg Brennan or whatever. Joe Rogan where he's talking about, what he's talking about. Like your cells have the potential electronic capacity or like electric capacity of like 0.8 or 0.07 or some, some sort of small number of volts or but it's like more or less like a computer chip kind of inside of us or like they're all their own little energy transmitters and diffusers type shit. Okay. And he's saying that. Yeah, but like each you've fitted like 500 trillion cells or whatever. And so like collectively you have a, like a relatively large potential energy field output. Yeah. Yeah I feel it on you guys. So you're feeling it for years. So if you have that thing and you're rocking it and you rock it for a week, I think you could like that should stacks bro I think that shit stacks. I don't think it really touched the month. I don't think you really get that high. But maybe if you stack enough weeks you'll be able to get the big boys in the bin. When the big boys hit the big boys hitting all you can contribute maximally. Your maximum contribution is a week. You got a week, baby got me the universe in a week. You're making your universe every week. Well universally you bicycle live in to next. And if you do that enough times, you've got to have a crazy six. Then you would have a crazy ten. You know, scene. Yeah, ten years a decade later, it gets out of hand. But I think your maximum contribution is a week roughly. Oh what the mental bandwidth. But yeah, I guess because you're always carrying the moment with you. So we don't even really know what a week is. Yeah. I as far as like Sunday through Saturday got a feel for his name's. Well yeah. And which is a we think it's this day when you work a 9 to 4 on it. It's this year 2025. Yeah. Yeah it's always there now. But. Banana sandwich. We organize ourselves. We organize our thoughts. We organize our days. The sun going up and down helps a lot. That's it. That helps a lot. That's also what we're tracking because otherwise we are maximum is is our day. Can you have a good day? And if you don't have a good day you can't fucking sacrifice the week. You cannot sacrifice the week. Yeah. If you can have one good day, there's no way you can have one bad day, you know? Yeah, fine. And you can manage a time limit. The losses transmit as much as possible. Shift gear, shift focus, I think. Try to contribute at least four good days of something. Yeah. You're doing more than half of your time doing this thing versus three days. You know, as far as just like a week's distribution, it's like, if I do this thing four days per week, I am doing this thing more than I'm not doing this thing just objectively in life. So we'll see what this contributes. And then if you're like doing a five day, six days or whatever, like taking care of your body, it's like, oh, like you don't have to go to the gym every day, but you have to take care of your body every day and then watch look a little different. So if you do seven days of taking care of your body, it's like stacking nine or stacking this, the seven days of taking care of proper sacrifices to the best of your ability. But if you lose a couple of days, it's all right. I think, for I think if you can, if you could do for you might be able to tip the scales just mathematically, objectively in my mind's eye if you can do for yeah, good days. That's about the one that I feel like it's like 3 to 4 four get starting to get a wobbly. Yeah. Three years like okay here we go. We're rocking the A has a hit it again. Yeah. You can cook. You can do it. You can do it. You can do it do. And sometimes sometimes it's fun. It helps you do it. Yes. That's what's 1.2. But you know it's both of those things. Yeah. It's like you can do it but you can't do it. No you can't. Surrenders. It's so hard. Yeah. It's so hard. Yeah. There it is. That's the nugget that I think, we just pointed at for a long time. Yeah. So you have to surrender because you can't do it. Yes. The truth of the matter is that you can't do it. Yes. And you'll spend a long time trying to think you can. Be able to properly identify the right sacrifice at any given moment, at every moment for all moments. You cannot do it. But that's what's asked of us to have like to be able to be here and now, I think, you know, or to feel whatever. And it's just too deep, man. Even when you're doing your best or you're doing your worst. Life's got its own things. Is pitching at you, man. Yeah. Your story could just change. Or she turns around all the time. And things are not what they seem. So a bad thing can happen. That's a good thing. Good thing can happen. That's a bad thing. It's just deep as fuck. That's why I be trying to be light hearted about everything, bro, I guess deep. It's fucking deep out here because Rob Jesus is transmuting me to the best life I could have. Yeah, everything else is just like a fucking thing. Trying to make me look away from what is where I'm getting led to. Yes. Like it's all a distraction now. Everything I'm feeling right now on some level, if it's not good, if it's not like how I feel in church, then on some level it's just, it's just trying to pull me away from being focused on the way, the truth and the light. Yeah. At least metaphorically. Being aligned with God or like being with God in the moment. Yes, it just feels amazing. But there's so many things pulling us away from that sin separates us from that other I. Let's put it back to the first thought for us being in the moment. Yeah. Being the moment with God. That's powerful. And yes. And what is separate generator of the moment. Yeah. So again in that in the source of the waterfall. Yeah. Yeah I don't know unbelieving I feel it with you right now. Yeah. Yeah. It's powerful thing. Thing at least metaphorically exists. At least I'm giving it metaphorical life. We're all trying to make sense of story here with metaphors, personification again. And you want those things for yourself. It's not like doing some lame shit you don't want to do. Yeah, you want a good story? Yeah. If you want love and you want kindness and you want peace, right? You want peace. You want blessings, right? Like you want your family members to be happy. And then it's like imagine if your son's like well dad, I'm trying to be somewhere in this role and be somebody. That's right. You have to step on. So maybe you got a break. If you like to make an omelet. And we didn't even have shit when we were growing up. That's. So I'm going to buy a Ferrari one day because I'm on my house. I'm gonna do what I gotta do out here in this field. You're gonna be there, be like, I don't want that for you. Like, I don't want you to be that kind of person to get those kinds of things. It's like, yes, like be successful and grind. But I don't want you to just, like, be, like, recklessly. What are you willing to do to do it as well? Right. You know what I'm saying? Crack a few eggs, make some omelets. I love omelets. Yeah. So a bit I love omelets. You're like, oh, I don't want that for my kid. If you heard your kid saying that, I think you would be like, did I do something wrong here? You know, like, I don't this isn't right. But then. But you'll be that person and not realize that you would feel that way when I was coming out of your kid's mouth, I think, that's not like something I experienced being a new dad, but I just like, again, like the way Jordan Peterson says, take care of someone. Take care of yourself. Like you would take care of a child. Yeah, it's like there's part of that, too, where it's this being Christian isn't lame. Like the Christian values aren't lame. It's legitimately what you would want. The relationship with God. Yeah, relationship with yourself. You're like, but I want to pop bottles and strip club. I'm like, well, do you want your son to take his money and go pop bottles in the strip club and try to meet a girl there? It's like, is it is that advice you give him? It's like, then why? Why are you like, well, I want to be Christian because I want to go pop bottles in the club. It's like, no, you don't know what I'm trying to tell you. It's like, yeah, right. You think you do, but you don't because you wouldn't even want your son to do that. Thanks. That's right. Yeah. Like the advice you give to your kid. Like that's it. That's the mindset. That's the. And a filter. You can help you identify what the proper sacrifice might look like, right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, totally. It helps. It helps to detach from the universe of it. You know, the ego. Yeah. The you. Yeah. The thing that's experiencing the thing. The thing that's trying to be in the moment, you know. Yeah. This is difficult. It's hard. It's so nuanced and layered, bro. We are so deep in the cut off. Just like what is being alive. But, yeah. No, just talking about some random shit. Nah, bro, it's that's what life is, bro. That's what life is. That's what we call life is having to struggle with those two things. Yeah. I'd love to take it out of the moment. Okay. Bring us out. Just just playing with the motif for a second. Yeah. What's, In my own heart, I'm like, fuck, we gotta be running out of time, and I don't want to stop. And then I'm like, dude, Joe Rogan would go on for two more hours. Eventually we'll be at that point doing it. Yes, for fucking. But I'm going to go for another 20 or 30 issue. I don't know what your time constraints like. Yeah, I feel like I hear but like 15 or so okay. That's cool. That's cool. Back into the moment. Yeah. Being is the thing man. I think the idea of being Christian is just and you could just that's a part of what using the Lord's name in vain is, is like proclaiming that speaking like fluent Christian is but not really being about identifying the progress. Was that part of what makes a proper sacrifice? The proper sacrifice is that you are sacrificing yourself for others, like the benefit of others. So if you're like proclaimed that you're a Christian, but you're not embodying the behavior of self-sacrifice, at least to a little bit of a degree, you don't have to be giving all your time to like the the soup kitchens. But there is a like obviously line where you're like, fucking like what we deem as like crimes against humanity type shit. You know, we get to like that level of evil. It's like obviously like we we all talk to a line like, you know, some people get angry at traffic, whatever. It was like, oh, I shouldn't have been a good being a good Christian right there. But it's just like a it gets gross at some points where it's so obviously, what is it? What are they talking about here. Yeah. So like but that gets down. So using the guy's name in vain and like being a, a wolf in sheep's clothing because people will trust you. Because if you're like, I'm a Christian, the idea is that you are following the behaviors of somebody who does x, y, and z, and usually x, y, and z is making the proper sacrifice of themselves for the betterment of people. And sometimes the proper sacrifice of yourself is the idea of what people think of you. So you won't do certain things. But if you're like, I'm going to speak the truth and say, this is some bullshit right here. If I got to throw this guy under the bus, I'm not throwing anybody under the bus. I'm just bringing light to the situation. I'm just shedding light on the truth of what is through my perspective, objectively, of what's happening right now. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So that's a proper self-sacrifice. Yes it is. You know, I'm saying you have to be down, you know, to lose every time. Being a Christian isn't lame. No, it's speaking truth. Yes. And being able to identify the proper sacrifice. And that's typically for the betterment of others. Yeah. So if you're not doing that, I guess then the like what what defines the betterment of others. But yeah, you have to have a value, sir. I mean, like most people claiming or guess being a Christian is someone, someone who says I do that thing. I think I joined Pierce and is like, how dare you, right? How dare you say you do that thing? None of us can really do that thing. No, that's why he's like I won't say that I yeah it, none of us can really do that. Okay. I don't want to go around saying I'm proposing, I'm doing this thing. I'm always identifying the proper sacrificing and doing it to the best of my ability, especially as much as you people out there who are trying to get me to say it with you. So we can all say, yeah, we do the thing together and you can feel good about yourself. You feel mo better? Yeah. And I'm just like that. My ego fuck my ego feeling so bad about anything that's mutilated. You got a mutilated. He's a George Jenko. Like, how do I. I think he was trying to articulate that. And it just took him a minute, bro. And he came back with that more or less like, that's not what they're asking me. They're not like what you're asking me why you and me understand what being Christian is? We have a we have an understanding that we understand that so we don't talk about it. So then you're asking me, am I a Christian? I know what you mean, but that's not what they mean when they ask me. So, like, I'm not trying to answer that question in that way, because it's not it's not what we're it's not this mutilated and all of the other having it's not even close. It's almost disgusting to me on some level. I think it probably works. That works are filthy rags. Filthy rags. Dog. Yeah, I saw it. That's all you can do? Yeah. To maximize that, that that kind of points to have a relationship with the thing, generating the relationship, the thing cleaning the rags. Because it's like all you have is dirty rags, dude. It's like you got. What are you talking about? But it's it's worthwhile to give the best you got. Oh, yes. But has being so taking God's name in vain, someone who's been able to claim that and put that badge on and wear that like I'm, I'm someone who does that, but they they're not quite doing that. You know. As well. There's something to it. I think that one of the things with Christianity, like I said before, this podcast, is like the more you don't say, not even like being a Christian to someone, someone who's doing the right, you know, just like objectively, for someone to claim that they're doing that is a heavy thing. The claims, like regardless of whatever you spiritually believe, to say that you're somebody who identifies a proper sacrifice in the moment and does it always so you can't know you're all lying, all of you lying. Nobody can do that. That's that's almost that's like, Jesus Christ did that. But one man, one man for one man, one man that that who's not a man. Yeah. The true hero. Yeah. The heroes of all heroes. Yeah. The King of Kings, literally the first miracle above and beyond kind of guy. Yeah. That's like, we don't aspire to be Christ. We aspire to be Christ. Like. It's like you wouldn't say I'm Jesus Christ. Nobody says that. So shouldn't I think about that? I was like, the Mexican heritage be like, get some holiness was like, we had a guy that I worked with. That's the thing we say. So now, did I have a completely different take on that? Okay, give it to me. He's the only one that's worthy. Jesus. Yeah. Is that Jesus? You know what I'm saying? Oh, okay. I was like, the guy we work with. No, no, but, I mean, even the kids that, you know, was like. Well, but when you're naming your kid, I think what part of it comes across you're like, you're paying whether or not you intentionally do this or not, when you name your kid after something, you were honoring that thing. So if you were to name your kid Jordan, because I like the name Jordan, Jordan Belfort, it's cool. It hits Michael Jordan, Michael Jordan, you know, Peterson, Jordan Peterson, I like that. It's like they're not worthy of your honor. Was there something that sacred in my mind when I was naming my kid? I'm like, that's not worthy. There's only one thing that's worthy of my praise and of honoring my child towards that thing. Okay. Yeah. And that's Jesus or God or that's why Demi Elohim is her name. Because it's like there's no there's nothing. It's the only thing that's worthy, you know? Yeah. We're thinking about, you know, heaven having a child. And we're like, trying to think about, like, biblical names, you know what I'm saying? Yeah. But then to, like, say you're like, Jesus, that's a classic. And nobody claim to be Jesus. Not even name of the kids. Jesus. And if someone does, it's like, well, that's what I'm saying. The Mexican culture is like, I guess some historians. But it was would be like, he's the only one sort of the my brother or my brother has essence in his middle name. Yeah. You know, I thought him. Yeah. Fuck yeah. I respect it because it's like I'm saying, you're gonna name your kid something cool. Like I had a friend. Why? Yeah. What's inspiring me? What? Why do I want to do that? You know. And why did you. Do you want to do that? Like there's something there about the spirit of naming something like the power you have in your tongue, in your speech, in your identification process of what is here, you know, so so that thing is embodied in me and you to, like, want a name of my son, like Elijah or Josh, you know, saying something like, Matthew, your dad, you know. Yeah. And Grace, like, you know. Yeah. Let's listen to that for sure. My mom is, like, telling me she's like, just like, names are important. I just, like, took it seriously. Just like I'm naming my kid. It means something. That some people say symbols are. I've heard people say symbols are powerful, that the world is just symbols. It's like on some level, like your name is a symbol to like you what you represent. What's your username. Yeah. So what everyone's going to see right on the leaderboards. And it's like it's always going to be like my mom. Like even if your name is fucking plankton, right? Okay. And you're like, forever. I need to change my name. I'm good. I don't know why my mom name it plankton. Call me P. Yeah, yeah. Big SpongeBob user. Thank. That's still like your mom named you a dumb name like that. Is that. That's where your story start of the story? Yeah, exactly. Part of the story. Part of how you have to what your identity, how you identify yourself, how your family identifies you, what the symbol of. What is that you. It's like your mom like puts the paint on the end of the vase that God made. So that's like there's something heavy there. I think you need to like with respect to. Exactly. Yeah. That's what are you paying respect to the idea of the thing that's really like the genuine relationship you were. We're calling God you know, because because almost my answer was like, whatever you call it, the heaviness of the weight of the thing that we're paying respect to is what we're paying respect to. And you're like, yeah, that's a cyclical cycle that doesn't say anything. What I'm saying is it's the generator of things that have weight is what you're paying respect to. You could just come up here and understand it better rather than just looping around in metaphysical, physical, abstract. Okay. Yeah. I'm not talking about that's it took me weeks to digest that. That's when you've said it and prayers at work. And it's gone over my head a bunch of times. And I feel like we've talked about it on here, but just words. They're just words. They're just words. It sounds nice, but they are just words. But they're like, what are they pointing to? You know, what are they pointing to that thing? I think the biggest you talking about before that, I just think it's, a hard plankton. People who are naming their kids. Oh, yeah. It's like I give them respect to try to name my son Elijah because he goes hard. OG Eli. Come on, Elijah, I think Book of Eli. And then I'm like, as a Christian where they carry the Bible across the transcontinental after the zombie apocalypse. See, that's that's why I asked my dad for a Bible yesterday when I saw him. And he gave me one bang because I need to be able to. I can't do that. I can do that with Harry Potter. Yeah. Oh, yeah. The word of the Phoenix. Yes! Fire! That's it. Yeah. That's right. Hit me with that metaphor a while ago. I probably two years ago, maybe or so. A year and a half at least. Just the idea of, like, he's like, you gotta be able to have some scripture in your pocket. You gotta be able to like, you know, like, it's hard to remember. It's hard to memorize for sure. But you remember those movie quotes and you remember those song lyrics, and you remember the conversation you had the other day, or that a lot like the joke you told that one time that you keep telling again and again and again. So like you have a mental capacity was full of bullshit. Yeah, delete the trash, dog. I'm adding on to it. But, But we're getting charged up, dude. Yeah. Yo, that was a pre-game speech for a college football game. I think you might send some warriors into the field. Yeah, so here's the ha scripture after that. Yeah bro. Yeah bro. I think that would do it because it's so true. It was so upset. Yeah I was like that is a true thing. You got underneath the grill that you cooked the stove top. And I was like oh yeah you're under there. Oh yeah. That's that's it. Then you're in there. We were cooking, but we're about to cook. Fuck that. And then yes, I had no Muslim heart Scripture. But Elijah, please tell us what happens. Elijah did. Yeah. He's just the goat. Kings. Not, you know, kings. And then Elisha comes from him. He's just. It doesn't, I'm going through it so I don't have it all as far as detailed details, but I know that the story. Yeah, but he's he's just Timothy. He who shows up. I think it talks much about his birth or like him coming up on the scene where he's from, he just like kind of shows up. He does want to say where he's from, but it's, more or less he just at the time, the culture, the people are worshiping. Bale, whatever that means. Exactly. Like false gods or things that maybe aren't identifying the proper sacrifice and then making the wrong second, like literally making child sacrifices and type shit. Right? You know, metaphorically or literally, I don't know, we'll see where like regardless, more or less right people making the wrong sacrifices. He comes up instead the current day. So a lot of leaders in that space, 450 and then he goes like, let's just go down to the valley and see. Because the thing that I identify as God, when I say the word God like, what do you think that I'm saying? Because y'all are like talking about this thing, Bale. It's like a gentleman in general. Like, what are you worshiping when we say the word God like, you have your gods like the little g gods, like maybe they produce things in the moment. Or maybe that's just the shortsighted hedonism. That's the you justify the improper sacrifice for the satisfaction of the, the now versus the later. And like, maybe that's just what's happening metaphorically, regardless of whatever, whatever God you're worshiping. So like, let's just go see what's up there. Let's just go reality for reality. What can you conjure up here? And he takes him down to the valley for 50 verses one, and he builds a fire or they are there. He asks them both to build a fire and to make a sacrifice because, yeah, that's not what I'm talking about. The idea of making the proper sacrifice. Yeah. So it's like, let's go make a sacrifice then. Yeah. What do you sacrifice? Yeah, exactly. How do you do it? What's your what's your approach to the. It's being able to claim that you are in proper alignment with the thing that actually generates the best sacrifice, which is something that you can't even conceptualize. Are you willing to bow down to that? Because I doubt you are. Because I am like, that thing is, he's out there. It's it. It's whatever it is. I can't. We call it God. So you built, you prayed. You guys will pray to my God and we'll see what happens. He takes him down for 50 verses one. You have a bowl? I have a bowl we're going to slaughter and we're going to lay him on the fires. We're going to lay him on the the wood and we're gonna see what happens. I mean, you can ask your God to light a fire. I gonna ask my God a lot of fire. And they're going and they're going for God going from sunup to sundown by evening, over half of the day, just going and praying and dancing and singing and doing whatever they gotta do. Try to conjure up the relationship with the thing that generates the like, the thing that results in the actual proper sacrifice, which you can't identify. So like you willing to bow out of that, like that's true. Like ego death is what we're trying to talk about here. And he's like, you're not doing it. Keep on getting louder. You can do it now. Maybe he'll maybe he'll do it for you. Maybe you'll result in the proper sacrifice of the proper life for yourself. Like or like the true, the objective truth that we can't touch. Maybe you can be able to produce an outcome that's worthy, that can be objectively seen as a miracle. And then they don't like the fires, and then nothing happens. And then Elijah, this is over. Halfway through is like in the evening time now. And then he's asking people to dump some buckets of water, one, two, three buckets of water all over his wood. It's no longer wood. It's a kiddy pool with some logs in it. And then he just says, light my fire. And then the entirety of the sacrifice and the ground where in which the sacrifice was taking all the wood and all the sand is all just turned to ash, just gone. And it's like the. Because who dares? Who? That's what Dawn Peterson is tapping into. Who dare say you identify the proper sacrifice and actively do it all the time. You can't. You cannot. That's just facts. You cannot do that. It is so hard to do it today, to do it today. Do it right now. To say the right thing, to do the right gesture, to let go of the right thing, to pick up the right thing. It's impossible. You do what you. You do the things you know. You shouldn't be doing it. You're not doing the things you know you should be doing all the ways all the time. So how dare you say that you're not doing that. You know, it's blasphemous and it's core, and that's what the why? Just pointing to Jordan Peterson's point to is what I'm pointing to. Because I want to say my son Elijah. Oh, fuck. Dude. That's hard. That's a good way to name your kid. Yeah. Sorry. That's it. You know, this was over in that first year. So why why? You know, naming our kids here or naming things is important. It's worthy. It's important is worthy. That's worthy. That's your child, man. It's just like. Yeah, like Moses and Joshua. Like it's just crazy. Is worthy. Yeah. And the song, the pull me to that, it's it's I don't know, I don't I love you like man I love you like I love my dog. One of my favorite books of all time. It's hard to be a little brother, especially when you're older brothers. Peyton Manning. Yeah, and his other brother, Cooper, too, I'm pretty sure is older. And they were just successful and ball into the he's the youngest. They pick on him still like you watch the Marcus. He's still just getting picked on. You know they story is fucking awesome. But yeah. Anyways so is that something you got a taste to the association with the like. You're like I like blue a lot. But it's like, what is the world? Think about blue because like your kids cannot exist in the world. Like you're creating perception for them, for the world. But Elijah, Eli, the dope name, it's far scarce. Scarce. At least I'm able to conceptualize it as so and feel that, you know, some Mexicans don't care. Some people give a fuck. Jesus, Jesus, bro, I don't care what the world thinks, I don't care. There's just because I say, and that's aggressive. Like, whoa, I don't care. He's got a crazy fucking fuck. I'm like, that's why that tequila down there's like that's, that's that's the spirit there. I hey, yeah Doug so fucking oh okay. Next time teaser we're going to talk I want to talk about Halloween. Oh yeah tomatoes and bad Bunny. So that's so funny that we rounded out some Mexican Latin culture in there. So he's like he knows he's not from Mexico. I know, but speaking Spanish, he this is you see this thing on SNL? No, he did a year on SNL recently, Super Bowl. Yeah, I got booked for the Super Bowl, did an opener on SNL, and then he did like a paragraph or so, paragraph and a half in Spanish. Okay. And like, he lost me. Like I'm able to get some of it, but he lost me. Sure. And the thing that he lost me to, like a lot of people and then like at the end of his, as another thing, he's like, if you didn't understand what I just said, you have four months to learn, okay? Because all of his songs are gonna be in Spanish. Oh, that's the entire halftime show is gonna be in Spanish. Yeah. You know, I'm saying. Yeah, unless if that's the first time in NFL history, but maybe they go in international reach, I think partially. But then I've also heard some demonic NFL people, you know, who knows the level of which you've seen those the levels it's going up, the performances of rituals. See that shit I don't like to get in that shit. I don't need to see the sacrifices. I got to be smart enough to know what I don't need to know. You know, text some of it, leave it be some of we'll talk about some of it. The devil's using to get you wound up and think you're focusing on the right thing. Like, I hate that I'm a real God, love a Christian. It's like, put the phone down then, bro. Like, leave me. I need you in the game. You're like watching propaganda. I love this football team. It's like, dude, get the practice. Holy shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's Steve, it gets out here. But I want to talk about all that shit for show. Yes, I think that just baseline comment on Bad Bunny doing all those things. It's got to be global reach. He's going to be the biggest haters in the world up there. People love for sure. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. After this year. Yeah a lot of the NFL current audience does not speak Spanish, but a lot of the world speaks Spanish. Yeah, a lot of the world loves Bad Bunny. Yeah. So they're going to tune in to the game or to the to the show. Know they're going to watch. I can watch a free Bad Bunny concert from their couch. Yeah. People love that bunny, bro. Why not? And then experience America's now. Time for a pastime dog. Yeah, we love football. Baseball is the claim. Baseball's always been the claim. America's pastime. That's a debate for another day. That's why I call it the now time dog. Because football's a shit. Yeah, we love it. We have. I love you guys to death with love. Y'all back out of here. How back into your moment. And then come share more moments with us later on. But, enjoy the rest of your moment outside of this place. Yeah. We love y'all the best in that moment. Okay, you can do it. That's why it is worth it. That's why. Like hell yeah. Hell, yeah. Yeah. So don't turn your back on. Do your thing. Dude. I love you guys.
