Welcome in. Ladies and gentlemen. Episode 102 of the MJ 38 show. Tuning in. Thank you for coming back. We love you. Hopefully you're having a great existence. And if not, I hope you're able to have the faith to know that you're going to come out of that valley. And we're going to be all mountaintop city, baby. A mountaintop city ain't flat, doc. Mountaintop city is a Sisyphus type shit. But you gonna push that boulder up and it's going to fall down. You got to push it up. No one is going to fall down. That's some shit. Yeah, yeah, that's some shit. Yeah, yeah, that's what we're doing here. So we've talked about it. Oh, sorry. Let's have a good one. Let's fucking go with this. Be. If you're not on the mountaintop, you'll be there. I'll keep on pushing and believing in that. That that's a true thing that can happen and will happen. And you can play your part in that, helping that happen, helping facilitate that story. You're the facilitation point in the hour. Stories are happening. Normally. I want to give you guys spoonfuls of honey because life's life's a bitch. It's both. Yeah, yeah, you can get spoonfuls of honey. And I want to help you get that energy. Just like this is a. These are warm waters. We can judge a nobody. As I said, that was that was the second sentence that I was gonna say. It's like life is sweet and it's a bitch. Okay, well, yeah, that's what I want to give you the honey. Because it's like you'll forget that it's sweet. Because life's a bitch. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So we have a sin. Nature. Our nature is to make it that way. Yeah, see it that way at least. And you're walking into situations and circumstances full of sinful nature, things and temptation, constant, entropy happening all around you, things breaking down constantly, stress happening. Yeah, stuff. But the thing about mountaintop city. Jackson. Yeah. Tell me it's on top of mountain. Yeah, which means you have to climb a mountain. Yeah. To get to Mount Top City. Let me tell you, first of all, it's worth it before I dive into it, before I feed you something that's not honey. It's worth it. It's worth it. But you gotta get it. You gotta do it. Shadows to prove it. Do have to, even Stevens. But I'll tell you, I was just in my bathroom. I've just put on the shirt. I hadn't had worn the shirt in, like, a month, but on the shirt, I was like, nice. Let's fucking go, let's go. And I was like, that's that fucking fasting, bro. And then when you're like, fasting, you got to be like, I'm not eating. Like I'm not eating. That's what I'm saying. Okay, dude, you got to be like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. You got to overcome the temptation. That's what I'm trying to say. Overcome the temptation to fall into the negative path, into the downward path, into the valley path. That's the work. Yes. That's the that's the game. That is life. Yes, yes. And it's worth it. But you got to do it like do the thing. You're going to come to the Horcrux, you're going to come to the looks to the cross. You're going to come to the crossroads. Yeah. And you can either do it or not do it. And it's really easy to not do it. It's so easy. That's the default. And the thing is, is once you find out how easy it is and I do it, it gets even easier because it's like you've already pressed the button for it. Yeah. It's like, if you start fire the mental synapse, right. You want to not build that. If you start a new thing, you want to just stay to it, because as soon as you open that door to not doing it, your brain's like, oh, well, could not do it so easy, bro. You know what? We're going to not do it. And then like no negative consequence is going to happen right here now right. You know. Right. But we live in the right here now and we live in tomorrow and the next week and the next six months and the next year, God willing. So we have to plan for that. And this is not in accordance with that. I've got some honey for the winners. Honey, it's like you pussies won't ever get to see mountaintop city. Like, wait, what? The winners? Well, it feels good when you're in mountaintop city. It's just like, yeah, don't do the work then, like, don't do it. That's fine. But you'll never get to feel this. What? And like that? As I feel like as someone, whenever you do accomplish something, I feel like there's this natural instinct to want to go pull other people up to this thing. That's why I'm like, hey, guys, we should intermittent fast because it's working for me. I want to pull you up here. But then there's also like the me that wants to struggle with the Horcrux and I'm like, then don't bitch, don't then and be a loser, you know. And it's like that's your option. Yes. Those are the options there's to do to do it because it's worth it or don't do it and lose. Yeah. And you're, you're right now you're listening to the wolf inside of me that wins and bites the throat out of the other wolf. Yeah. And kills it. Yeah. That's what Russell is talking about on his debut album. That's Why There Really Is a Wolf is the title of the album. There's two of them. Thanks. I always thought it meant like you should be afraid of me. I thought that was what Russell was saying, like, okay, I'm in the game, bitch. Like there really is a wolf out there. You don't want to feature me. You don't want me on your future. I'll eat you up. Nice. I thought that's what that meant. But. But I like your, interpretation of it. Yeah, I think it's a psychological point a little bit, but I'm sure it's both. If I came off aggressive two minutes ago, though, what I'm like trying to get around to saying is like, that came from the place of the that that wolf has to beat the other wolf. You have to beat the other like he will beat you. Exactly. So that guy's like, he's a bitch, you know what I'm saying? Like, fuck that guy. He's in full version of you. He wants to keep me willingly. Sinful version of you. Wants me to lay in bed on my fucking phone and play video games all day. Come on. What's in play? Rooms give all free for a week straight. Preach. Because that hole's big, dude. Like I hop on fucking Pokemon for a second and I'm like, terror raids! The fuck's a terror raid? 30 minutes of YouTube later, I'm calling my sister. All right. Hey, perfect. Ivy's. I've got a couple of strats. Here we go. Tell me what the meta is. Azumarill as. Okay, you're running that. Let me give me some time. I'll get back to you. And I want to go a week straight, like one hour of. Just like. Because I'm. Because I'm like that Ferrari brain problems, you know? So I got to like. And I think everybody, you know, you got to stay on mission. Everyone and, you know, differing levels of severity and intensity. But we're all that is what we got to do here. That is what we are doing here. And it looks like this. Yeah. You know, I have to constantly remind myself that our business is poker on, just not on a Nintendo. Like life is like accumulating goals towards rare opportunities to get successful wins and dopamine rushes. Yeah, get a mountaintop city. It's where you get the ability to put yourself in Mountain Top City mentally regardless of situation. Yeah, that's how you transcend Mountain Top City. Yeah, yeah, there could be a video game where the objective is to get on top of Mountaintop City. It's like Super Mario Odyssey or something. Okay. And it was Super Mario Mountain Top. It's been all night. I go to work, I got the mountain top city. But like, you didn't shave and you've got a pimple because you didn't shower and you're not using the face wash and you didn't sauna. And then you got a shitty workout and it's like, that's not Mountain Top city. We invite you to come there mentally with us. Hopefully we help you do that because life's a bitch. But is this a warm waters? We're chillin, man. We are on 1 or 2 deep, beautiful day. I'm kind of want to continue and pick up where we left off last time. In regards to talking about Bad Bunny Super Bowl halftime show, I love it. Let's USA is offering an alternative halftime show and then I want to talk about Halloween. We went to Fry Fest last night Six Flags. Wow. It was awesome. Nice. The first by Bunny. So he's like he's he got I think we talked about at the end of last episode, but I was coming in with some bangers, coming up with some international bangers. You can't dispute the popularity. You can't dispute the numbers they're selling. He's selling lots of records. He's on features. He's arguably the most popular artist out right now in the world for us. Frank is coming up like right there too. It was funny that those two are like the ones that are come to my mind when I think of who's the biggest artist in the world right now and then like Drake and Kendrick. Yeah, I guess there's a due diligence here to statistically look up maybe who are the top ten biggest artists in the world? Just one metric. Do you want to use? Yeah, right. Well, I was like a shame because all that shit could be fake, bro. All that shit could be fucking fake, bro. You put money into it, you literally just buy 1000 old. You buy whichever is the cheapest iPhone you could buy or cheapest smartphone you could buy. Where we're in, which you can install all the social media apps, make a thousand, 5000, 10,000 fake profiles or phones that make fake profiles, and then they're able to make a certain amount of fake profiles per Gmail or email account they're able to make. So you've already got it out to where you can have 10,000 phones making literally like hundreds of thousands of plays, lakes and streams and impacts. And that's if you're not some bullshit awesome bullshit. Duh. I mean, like, there's probably some hackers out there can do that. Even simpler than that too. Okay. Yeah. But yeah, I bet it's harder with the farms. There's troll farms. Especially farms. Yeah. Farms have like, I've seen videos on whatever, TikTok or Instagram. But it's like of, rooms. It's like an entire office building, but like, the floor is cleared out, no cubicles, and it's just phones on tripods. That's crazy bro. So yeah. And like a little like automated stylist that kind of interacts, acts as the phone's brain based off of whatever you put it to do. Everything is a side of everything. Drake, Kendrick Lamar was what metrics y'all want to use here? What metrics do I want to use here? I was talking about Revival Energy Dog. That's what spring comes to my mind when I say the biggest artist. I talk about a stream of okay, come on. Okay. I'm talking about fucking like a look at the numbers though, because I if I want to pay homage to the fact that he is an international sensation. Sorry. We had YouTube going and I was just at least a little looping me. I need the ceiling background on. Yeah, there we go. Take me to space because take me to space. I'm flying those dogs here. Yeah, yeah. I wanted to lyrically challenge you real quick. Well, Looking up the top ten most streamed artist in the world, one of my favorite things that Lil Wayne does, and I've seen other artists do, obviously, but it's just, he says, just life is a bitch as like an entry as like a diving board into bars. And then he's got a lot of people use that. Yeah. It's a common like. All right. It's like your life's a bitch what your life is. Yeah. Yeah. Everyone has that. Pull up the sheath move. But then how do you use it. You know. Yeah. Yeah totally. So here's the thing that I'm looking pass down from generation to generation. Yeah. Life's a bitch. And then you die. And then just everyone has one of those, you know? Yeah. Visual. Visual. That's all. I was gonna challenge you to give me. A life's a bitch on the spot bar. Like something creative, something curveball esque. I was thinking about this on the other day. Life's a bitch. A choosy one after the cube. One line, it's fuck hard. Yeah, it's hard as fuck. It's so and so. It's hard to fuck with fuck because everybody gets one. Yeah. It's like, here's your, here's a, it's this like a fucking fundamental free. It's a free throw to a degree. Or it's like a maybe not a free throws. Not as easy, but maybe it's like a running three in the corner, you know. Yeah. When you go I like your bar. Yeah. Let's say just the bar itself or like the it's a classic. Life's a bitch. And then something. Yeah. Down screen into, Yeah. I'm gonna catch Charles Gambino has one. Lil Wayne you're talking about has one. Everyone kind of has one. I'm sure it's a drop. A typical. Yeah, totally. Yeah. Life. Life. A bit of choosy one doing shit that could be done without complaining. Bitch. For once, the whole sentiment is insane. That song was insane. Yeah, dude. Okay, pack your presents like a cube you want. I submit a choosy one. Yeah, that goes off. That's. That's hard. That goes crazy, bro. It's hard. That's a good one. Oh, that's MJ 38. Mr. Jefferson, check it out. I was literally thinking about that song like yesterday or two days ago. I was like, that's just gangster. Hey, while we're plugging MJ 38, I also wanted to plug selfish. Yeah, because I have a bar talking about starting to mount up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I messed up. I'm trying. Remember how the bar break? Yeah, I think that's I think that's that's obvious, but I don't know yourself. Okay. Yeah. Strong compounds, broken bones up a mountain top. Never gonna stop. And Nick Kessel is no Fleetwood. No way. You my oh, so many truths found on rhythm and rhythm in the flow. No. Yeah. That was. I was in my room, like, five days ago, and I was like, did I eat right there? That person was like seven years old. That fucking eight right there. I don't know what I was on to. We got some bangers in the in the chamber. I was thinking about Limit Break. I was thinking, But Mr. Jefferson Room, that song, it's aging well. It's aging well. But Bad Bunny's on the halftime show. What do you think the push is? Initially, it looks like on the surface level, Bad Bunny has mass appeal. We're trying to broaden and spread our international audience and international presence. We have games in Germany, Dublin, lots of games in London and in Brazil, Mexico. We're trying to increase the amount of that going on in the league, spread our spread. I think that's definitely at least what's happening. Spread the awareness game. More money, more viewership. I think international push is real as fuck. There's more international games this year than any other year. Yes, that is absolutely true. There's a bare minimum. That's absolutely true. I think that's a something that they are doing for sure, which is like not like a bad thing, you know. But then I've also seen okay, let's surface level. So now we're going to push a level deeper than that and say okay. Well I've also heard talks of maybe it's a push for this agenda of like you know, very, very big, most viewed, I'm sure type of show on people's TVs like ever, you know, like, oh, like pretty much every year everyone's talking about it, watching the Super Bowl, watching the commercials, watching the halftime show. It's what we do. And now we're trying to spread that other people. But then I've seen things I maybe I don't and I don't know enough about Bad Bunny to like, stand on any of this is truth or firm. I don't even know what the songs are about. Yeah, but yeah, let me just. I'll. I know that he's huge, and he's, But I've seen some pictures of him in some questionable attire, say the least. He goes hard, like he he definitely embodies the Latin singer spirit. I feel like he dresses like an artist. You know what I'm saying? He's very, like, risque, cutting edge on dresses and stuff. Oh, I don't see that. Oh, no, you get it? That's what we're going. I think that's what's, that's what's been shown to me. The truth of which I'm not sure. No problem is when you know nothing else is the. You know, the thoughts of Bad Bunny. I don't know what he's thinking. I don't know what he's saying. So it's like. But is he going to go up and perform some kind of ritual? Possibly. Now, is he going to come out at some shit? You know what? I think it's funny when we're talking about five times, Janet Jackson there, that her name right? Did he pop? Pop. Okay, JT, I never forget it from was like eight. Was being this far removed from that moment. It's really hard not to feel like that wasn't kind of like a staged moment like that. It was an accidental 30 pop. Seems kind of like. I'm pretty sure it feels like it was like a wardrobe malfunction, but it, like, pops off and they're kind of like. It's like on beat the like. Oh, and they kind of go like, oh my God. And I feel like. And she's wearing like a pasty. So it's like now complete it because otherwise I might have been like a real problem, you know what I'm saying? So, some parts of me feels like that was a staged moment and a halftime show. And then the second part of me wonders why. Why? What are you doing there? What are you trying to do here? Why? Why do you. Why are you trying do anything? I just let it be, you know? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Why are you trying to control other things? It's so weird. Manipulate? It's just fucking oily sausage fingers off my fucking meta, you know what I'm saying? Get your fingers out of my fucking garden, bro. Get out of here. The fuck? Just like I want a genuine, authentic life. Like, show me. Who are we the most interested in? Maybe we're the most interested in bad money. I can get down with that. If I go to the club and that body's on, usually I catch the vibe, like right there. And other people are feeling the vibe, too. Yeah. It's, we all want to wave. Who doesn't want to walk in and feel that fucking wiggle on them? You know, since it's like. And then yeah, it's British. That's fucking. We like Spanish fucking British. Yeah. That's it. If I know if I say it's in all the fucking, it's in every single song. Oh you little. Yeah, yeah. You change my fucking body, my body temp. Like, yeah. We all want some of that. Yeah. You give me that frequency. So we're there for that. I'm into it. I think it could have been Drake I think. Oh Drake to respond to Kendrick. You know like I and I think that I think Kendrick just won because the pedophile thing. But in the reality of things I think we like nature. If you walk into a bar and it's like Kendrick's playing like section 80s playing like, I don't think people are dancing the same. Then if you walk into the bar and like I, you know, wonder, oh my God, I had it in mind. I just got the I want to do this. I go, you know, I don't know. That was taking a hold of me. Come on dude. No no no no no. So anything guy is I am I for is one of the best parts of her. And perhaps that's all I one for my people, you know, strength, wisdom and guidance just about my wisdom. Because the genius of that music that's like. Yeah. What else could you ask for? I hope you see the path and I hope you walk it. Please. Yeah, that's hard bro. Like to say that Drake just doesn't have hard sentiments. It's like, I think we just kind of take it for granted. That's a that's a something like stand up. But maybe we're interested in Bad Bunny and I'm with it. I can understand it. So I'm. Yeah, I'm not sure what's the exact agenda is or what the push is, but definitely international reach. And what are the if you look at the numbers, the. Well, yeah, this is the top ten monthly listeners on Spotify okay. Completely manipulated. There's a metric. Yeah okay. But it's like I'm just going to go from 1 to 10 okay. So this is your moment. The okay. Come up with at least your top five right here. And then I'm going to slowly go down the list okay. Let's go to five. Drizzy Bad Bunny Taylor Swift. Oh might be some. If it's international artists who are the bigger international artists and American artists. I get those three. I'm liking those three in. Okay, okay, you hit on Taylor Swift for sure. She got it. She plays this game. This is like she's number one. No. Oh, she's number four. Oh shit. But this feels like a different game than what we thought because number one is the weekend. The weekend. He's got 117 million monthly listeners. Okay. So lot 113 million. Right behind him is Bruno Mars for mass appeal. Let's go. They got some wedding hits on that spot. Go green. I spending my mass appeal. Orange dog lover love like a Tuscan villa. Lady Gaga number three still left field for me. Yeah. Me too. Lady Gaga 100 million. Hunt who? Lady Gaga, 100 mil, 100 million monthly listeners. What sound is she still have this in rotation like that? I know. Make a new music TikTok and shit. I'll make people song. But I don't know I don't know that's that's a, that's a yeah that's a left fielder for me. So this is fairly tight. Top five fairly tight. We're all talking about number one's got 117 mil. And then this is rounding out the top five with 100 mil okay. And this is Justin Bieber at number five DBS and Swiss Swiss F4. Yeah. So I guess they, yeah. Yeah. This was it for Gaga. Three for night, two weekend at one and then back down to where we're at number five Justin Bieber, 100 million. He just put out an album. Yeah, I'm listen to it. But I mean, either he's a talented. Fuck yeah. UConn is on there for the world to play the song. I work, I've seen those words on my screen, but I don't know which song that is. And then, okay, something like that. Okay, cool. Go on. Go, Justin Bieber. Time to fuck. Yeah, he deserves it. I think that's crazy. Whatever Hollywood I do to you, he's got a crazy, like, been through it for sure. He's got this. Yeah. That much reach that young. He looks broken. What do you think happened to this guy? Too much, too fast? You. That's a good answer. That's it? That's a good answer. Yeah. It's got to be weird. Okay, I like that answer. Better than sucking up same dick. Oh, maybe. Who knows? You gotta know what's going on in this world, man. Like Duncan Trussell, right? That just channeled Duncan Trussell for sure. Yeah you did. I thought you felt it. Really listening to someone on the way up here. But, this podcast is great. Yeah I don't know man him in jail. Let's go. Okay. Yeah. We're an expedited top five. Yeah. I'm trying to read their thoughts because. So much fun to talk to you about. Okay. Number six really bad bunny on this list dude. Number six Rihanna. Number seven. Ed Sheeran. Number eight Billie Eilish. Number nine Coldplay. Number ten, Ariana Grande. And she has 83 male compared to the number one who has 117 mil. And that's the top ten. Okay, Tracy's not even on there. No, neither is Bad Bunny. Yes, correct. I get like a lifetime streams. Yeah. Who knows? I guess because that's through the Spotify metric. So I'm sure there's other ways of measuring. I guess you can include what Apple music, Amazon music? Yeah, yeah, I might change the the formula graphics. So I don't want to use lifetime streams because I don't like George Strait or like Lionel Richie would be super relevant. And I was looking for more like recency bias. But the metric that was recommended to me by charity was Lifetime streams. Shut up. Okay. And I just have an album. This came out. They're hot right now. Yeah. And Drake brags about lifetime Streams a lot. So I think that's like, might be something that shows continuity. That's so staying power. Yeah. So then if I could be hot for a year and then fall the fuck off 2 or 3 years later. Exactly. Right. That makes sense to me. Yeah. But then it. Yeah, it also looks like the idea that really popular artist from the 60s and 70s, just having more decades to play doesn't play into this calculation. It seems like. Okay, so this is top ten most streams artists of all time. It's again, it's doing Spotify. But I don't want to keep delaying this answer. So I'm just going to give it for Spotify. Number one is Taylor Swift. So is he straight up I know what I fucking was was 106 bill. And then number two comes in at 92 Bill and that's Bad Bunny okay. So yeah he he's up there. And then Drake comes in at 389. Bill just three. Bill the three I locked in velvet okay. Those are my three. Lock my dogs money okay I it goes the weekend Ariana Grande Ed Sheeran Eminem and number seven which is kind of nuts. Oh yeah Billie Eilish and then number ten Kanye West. Yeezy sound. Put it up there. He's that 48 bill though, which is like half a Taylor Swift. So if you want to know who won in the long run. He didn't me damage babe. Yeah. That's crazy. That's hilarious. They've had beef for since I was in high school. They had that. I'll let you finish. Yeah, that was a big moment because I had the best music video of all time. That was the one with Kanye. Lost my mom. He was crazy. He was just like, why did you do that to Taylor? She's just a little white girl. Kanye. It's like they've. She's like 19. You see a little deer up there, kid? Real, you know? Dude. Yeah. That's one thing I realize about. It's being older, being in our 30s now. It's like people who are in their teens and 20s, I'm like, y'all are kids. Y'all are just kids should have a I remember being a kid and I get stunned by the people who are 50. You know, it's like, this is a continual thing that's happening here. So we call like wisdom or just experience as being in the game longer. And it's like, oh, y'all are so young, you know, so young. 18 TS whiskey on the stage kind of investigating with them like give me that. Like oh my God. You know with confidence he could take the mic from her. That's rude. That's like that was rude. He had just lost his mom though I think he's gone through. He's going through it. He really thought Beyonce I should have won. There's a lot of righteous indignation there. Okay? Had the whole black people behind him and he won the best. I think part of the controversy was that Beyonce had won the best female Music video, but she didn't win the best music video, even though Taylor Swift had a female music video. And it's like, wait, So how did she win the best female one? And Taylor Swift is, you know, in the same category. So like, she had the best female. What am I saying? I guess maybe they're trying to give number one to Taylor and number two, the Beyonce, if that makes sense. Yeah, yeah, but I don't know Kanye while it out. Oh yeah. But he was he ended up getting, getting some dubs on that moment in lifetime place. It's a good beef to have if you're going to have that for someone. It's like, oh yeah. But if Ortiz was to flex that's hard. And that's a big cross like cross genres. Oh you know oh yeah. And beef is always good. They'll know. Yeah they'll know his name for sure. You got to go listen, have an opinion and talk about him. What do you say I gotta go. Listen. I'm exactly. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And what are people saying about what he said? And I got some crazy rumors too, so, yeah. Bad Bunny international reach halftime show. We got TP USA Turning Point offering an alternative halftime show. No idea what the turning point is. Charlie Kirk company. Yes, yes. Well, now the Charlie Kirk. Why the fuck are we listening to anything I say, first of all. But that's a whole different conversation. That's a different conversation. The webs we weave, the other we, the story that is portrayed for us all kind of sounds like create your own truth, man. You had to be a not create your own truth, but it's, embolden and flourish and feed the part of you that's able to discern truth more accurately. You know, this stance gives me more tours. Yes. So this fosters by far this is the Andrew Schultz right. Energy versus the energy. Schultz gets fucking all over his fucking couch. He's like, ouch, dude. It'll be like, yeah. So tell me what you were thinking about. Like, tipping at Starbucks. I mean, it's ridiculous these days, right? Like, you just gotta change it the way I don't know what the fuck is doing sometimes, but that's part of that's part of who he is. I'm not that guy. I just wanted to make fun of him because he does annoying me like a little bit. Bert annoys Joe and so Joe does troll him a little bit. And then they get their little beef and they have their moments and you know, I think they're they're little beef. Something about Mike is just being a rubbish. And then I just let's fucking it over here for a second and I'm cursing on my mind. That's something I'd like to ask you later. But anyways, Schultz drives me crazy. Yeah, he's just too much sometimes. Okay. Off of Schultz turning point USA off of. Why don't we listen to them? Just straight up? They're offering an alternative. What are you supposed to do? It's just a YouTube. This shit or what? I'm not sure where it's going to be offered. I'm not sure the exact details, but I saw that there's a alternative show coming out. Watch this. He's running. But also turn off my TV like left wing shit, bro. It's part of my kind of right. Fuck him dead. I'm just gonna be me. No, that sounds like some liberal shit, but that's a conservative company. Yeah, it is both. Just like the right and left is one. You know, it's just drama of leadership and people who are in power, who they wish they are. But God's got the ultimate power. So who's like, bow down to that reality because we're just flawed people. We can't we don't know everything about everything. We're just the little babies, cosmically speaking, our politics. And if they're aliens, like, what the fuck are we? Talking about the lizard people in the white. Yeah. Lizard people. But aliens. I would never go rogue and describe them as lizard people. Sucking to the guy who made Jack Ryan. No. I'm trippin. It's the guy that made the show with Chris Pratt. Okay. And it's like a war show. And then he just made a new war show. It's like Jack Ryan but it's different. And he's like one of those writers of like wartime books and stuff like Tom Clancy. Yeah. He's he's one of those guys. Yes. Thank god. Okay. Yes. Fucking love you. Get me bro? Okay. Yeah. It's one of those guys. He's cool as fuck. And then. But then that guy asked Joe about what was it like being at the inauguration? And my first thought is his life is fucking nuts. And. Joe. Yeah. Are you listening to the Duncan Trussell episode? So in the Don't You Trust episode of Joe Rogan, Duncan Trussell makes a comment about Joe Rogan's life. It's like, I don't know, man. If I was going to if I was going to pay to play a video game where it was fully immersive and, I had the job of getting to interview anybody I ever fucking wanted to. And I get, more money than I could possibly imagine just interviewing anybody I ever wanted to. And I get to sit front row and commentate for the MMA like the biggest league of fighters in the world, the biggest, largest, exponentially growing sport in the world. Yeah. So so any there's a champion, I just go put my arm around him, say, hey, what do you got to say right here? And, on top of that, I get to do stand up comedy for arenas. It's like, I might do that. I might just do that. Great life, Joe. Pretty great life. Joey. Yeah. And then whenever I'm thinking about. And you're at the inauguration of Donald Trump, your life is weird. Why are you there? He's like, why am I there? I know Joe Rogan has. Why am I there? It doesn't even make sense around all these fucking lizard people, bro. Yes, you heard what he said. All there is. That's what made me think about these. Like they're all fucking like Obama's there and other clones. They're like Joe Rogan. What do I see? Like, let's say the comedian. Oh, yeah. Bro, come on. Was his life is crazy. Yeah, he might have just done the most DMT out of anybody. And the other side, I don't know. What do you think you do to get such a cool life? I don't know, Darren Peterson's life is pretty cool based on the hospital right now, but he's just been pursuing truth and trying to stand up for what's right. His health being an issue might be something outside of his spiritual physicality. Like we don't know how well he takes care of himself. That's one thing that I've thought about. Like, maybe he just really needs to lock in on that same thing with my dad. Like, maybe you should lock in on that. You know, we're all dealing with it. Health is like the pillar, you know, one of the pillars. It's hard, bro, it's hard as far. It's been your whole lifetime. Find it. Have to. Yeah, you have to. You gotta take care of it. Some people are the goddamn Titans their entire life. They never just keep on saying like the Colts, they fucking turn the corner and they're good. Now, sometimes you gotta like that break in their breaking narratives right now. But six, five and one, we've had a week's schedule, but we're cooking. Another league could probably be in the league's top teams for another week of that. Let's go. So let it ride, bro. Let it fucking ride in the know. I'm trying to say down on the start that I'm having, which is that we're talking about health. We're dealing with health. Jordan Peterson having a spiritual battle Tony, for that. No. Before Jordan Peterson, we're talking about Joe Rogan being and Joe Rogan being live. We're in life being really cool. There's a stop question there. It's just like we don't know shit about shit. Who's going to. It's like a facade of these people who are running, the running the shit. You know, there's a lot of people too, and we're we're all trying to figure it out, but there's a a way, the spirit that is more in line with the objective truth of what is happening and what will happen based on what's happening right now. Yeah, you know what I'm saying? Whatever gives us that ability to project into the future a little bit and see like, oh no, this happens. Like, I need to put the ranch outside the pizza box because if I don't, it's going to slip and fall. So what? Is there something that allows you to have access to that side of the crossroad and the pitchfork? It's like, no, I do this. And then then he's like, keep on firing on that one. Then it just becomes a little bit easier on them. Maybe that it's easier. Maybe it's just like it levels up to like that one's that one levels up. It's it's the uphill. It's the pushing the rock up the hill. But then the other one, just like it's really easy to just fall down. Really. Yeah. And so we're talking about the beginning which like that back in that too. Yeah. That's nice. Yeah. So far the Dawn Peterson turning point USA I don't know what's going on on the web. We we were deep. What's the what's the proposed agenda with this picking a bad bunny international reach at least. Which is which is great. Yeah I love watching football. We love it. Yeah. We fucking love it. Yeah. That's what I would attribute to more than anything is I think you're trying to go international. It's clearly been that they even have like initiatives and programs to funnel international players into NFL tryouts. And those programs have been funded and are at an all time high as well. Or they're trying to find, like rugby players who say, I want to try out for the NFL. Then they they want to get a look at those guys, because if one of those guys runs like a fucking four four and has an amazing reaction time and it's huge and it's like a fullback. Yeah. And he's like his parents grew up on a military base, so he speaks a lot of English. And he's like, oh, I like football. Like it just might they might like catch people that wouldn't normally come play. And then they get them in the league and then they get like Luka Doncic effect effect. Yeah. Yeah. Literally made more money for the NBA Nikola Jokic yeah yeah. Just having a couple guys come in and be stars beasts Giannis. That's why the Lakers traded for Luka. One of the reasons for me to yeah yeah yeah. The the largest team in the league or largest franchise. One of the largest top three top two franchises in the league. Most valuable teams getting the most one of the most electric young international players in the league. Yeah in the world. And if you're gonna bring it over, if you're young and you don't want to be with the Spurs, it's cool. It's huge. Yeah, that's big. And we've had an international feel for a while. We already have that demographic because of the manager nobly and the, you know Tony Parker, Tony Parker from France, right? Yeah, yeah. So we've been an international fan base, so it works for us really well now. Serbia beef again. Nikola. Yeah. Luca. Yeah, they're big on batteries. Yeah. Joe Rogan, talk about Serbian basketball. The games begin. Nothing there bro. Those fans bro, you're doing hard, dude. It's like the. Yeah some of the FIFA fans for soccer you get. Yeah. They get deep out there. They're out there celebrating a fireworks and shit. Hell is going nuts, dude. Yeah. So bad Bunny I could see that, but I don't know either way. Maybe it's, Yeah, maybe they're trying to push the propaganda that he's, like, into this agenda, that they're pushing it. And that's all a push to to try to create more divisiveness. And they're offering this, alternative halftime show to literally have more divisiveness and, like, split us up even further. So it's like, turn off your internet, turn it off, bro. Just turn it before it breaks out with it. I was gonna turn off the TV during halftime. Oh, you know, far. Come on, Falcon balls. Look at commercials. Like what you're trying to do in me. Watch football. I want to watch the truth that's playing out here with these people. Like trying their best. And like, this is the top of the top for bad money. But that's genius. That's just where I'm sitting with spiritually. I like it. It's like it's taking the ball away. It's like I'm not playing a game. I'm going home. Fuck you guys. Let's take him ball. I'm going home. Yes, that's the right move. Our politics is way to dramatize. First of all, just like American politics. Way to dramatize and to not just have government, you know, like to more divisive, like a TV show that's profitable, that's the divisiveness, profitable conflict, divisiveness and we're also institute us to relinquish our control in order to trade off for safety for Joe. Talk about that. Yes. And what's the easiest way that someone trade up to trade their safety for control is to make them think that the safety is in danger. Yeah, it's a provide a problem and offer a solution. Yeah, yeah, that was my fucking I found my chest, I come out, I was like, hold on, we're not analyzing. Yeah that's what they do that all the time. And I think that they also want us a little stressed out and a little nervous. And I think that that's good for business across the board. We're buying more products. We're taking more. That's this a self-fulfilling prophecy than we make? If you make someone think it's so, than they will think that it is so. And because they think that it is so, they will act and behave as if it is so also what you believe in. If it's a lie, it becomes true. Like if you think there's objective truth to. But this like placebo is tough, bro. Like placebo like if you think Covid can kill you, allegedly Covid could kill you because you like that's what you think, what can it can do? But also if you're like, if you think it's not a big deal and you go to work and you're just like pushing through the Covid, then it's likely you'll push through it. But it's like the same Covid can because it's like our perception of what's happening really plays effect. Yes, because a placebo can really work sometimes. Yeah, yeah. You're the placebo. We have access to everything. Right. I guess where that comes from, that's like part of the gift of the divinity. Joe Dispenza shout out, shout out to Spencer. Yeah. I feel like that's when he was talking about, like, your humanism is divine and they want to take your humanism from you. I'm like, that's because it can do that. Yeah. We could tap into anything and everything here. Heal ourselves naturally. You have to. But you'd have to truly believe you could do that. If you're like, that's a rational and I'm a fucking idiot, it's not going to happen for you. You'd have to like, for some people, their mom grew up doing that in their household, so there's no, like, hesitancy for them to like, I know it to be true. It can happen for them. That's why I'm trying to say, like what you believe to be true. It's like there's barricades outside of just your thinking. Unless you're really unlocked. Like if you're on mushrooms, you can break through all that shit and just be like, no, I know, no, I know, no, I didn't know before, but there is no spoon. Yeah, but like to get to that place in everyday life is hard. That's why people meditate and do yoga and shit. Do microdose. Exactly. But there's you can also get yourself there. You have to like work and break down to a whole bunch of mental jujitsu, do a whole bunch of one on one with the wolf. Yeah. And then if you win, you're able to be like, okay, I can do this, I think, and stick around long enough to be the boss and witness a miracle, because that also can like, reconstitute your subconscious to believe in miracles after that, which makes the next miracle not so crazy to you? Yes, yes, it becomes every day, right? It becomes every week. And that's the free. That's the fucking problem. Yeah. So even if. Yeah, if was San Francisco, it's like, I'll be a good boy because it's worth it. Even if it doesn't look like you're by now. It doesn't matter, bro. It doesn't. None of this is even real. But it is. It's all it's it's real. Is is it's completely true. This is because you can feel things and we have experience. And then I think Dawn Peterson uses this to kind to back up the point of like, what's the most fundamental reality? It's like pain because we're in this thing. We can feel things. And then when you feel pain, you can like physical, mental, emotional. It is there. It's real inarguable. But then he's like, well, awesomely even, most even. Is there anything more fundamental than that? He's like, love. Love heals. That love pushes. That love is the all encompassing encapsulation. And this is like the like of all things. Like, that's all things considered. That's not like I think loves a good answer. It's like, no, no, no, that's the only answer. Like of because you got there pretty fast. But like I've also heard the Jordan Peterson lecture where he's like, the pain is like the bottom of the concentration. Like everything else you could think of that's a motivator. Would would either fall into pain or into like love is the more powerful other motivator. And that's like a lot of what's going to dictate your pleasure or blessings, right? Or dictate your love decisions and experience like how you define the experience. Yeah. I think Tony Robbins uses are like the pain versus pleasure. You know, it's like the which pathway we choose choosing. And you gotta be careful because the pleasure is also, man, fucked up too. You know. Yeah. Yeah. Navigate both of those. Yeah. And I think that allows you to navigate both of those is love. Some like that. It's the love is the love is the only way you're going to going to navigate those and get to a destination, because you can break yourself down when you fuck up too much. And also like the pleasure becomes chains. So it's like you need the chain breaker, which is, love is the son of the chain breaker. If you want to use like Greek mythology, but for Christian viewpoint, you know, you could say that love is the Son of God. Pretty transitory. And that's the that's the relationship that breaks the chains that the pleasure would put on you. Yes, but. And you need that now. Otherwise you're just chained and then you're it's a bad cycle of fucking up and then hating yourself for fucking up. And that's a whole like to love yourself enough to give yourself the grace that it takes to climb out of this boat. And, and step into the unknown and and that's, like, just factual. That's just like what's going on here. You could you could tell yourself a million other things for the rest of your life. But that's like a fundamental truth of the Christian church, but also witnessing to you right now that that's the truth for me to Jesus. The only way I love that relationship, the only one that can break the chains. Yeah, yeah, that's that's reality. It's metaphor at least, bro. At least what, like people just this just this, just the the idea of religion and the idea of organized church, just like it's just some people just do like. And, you know, just even hearing about, like, the Bible or hearing about Jesus is just a mural, you know. So it's and I think part of the weirdness coming from the mural is the capital C church or the idea of religion and then becomes stigmatized, or they think about their own conceptualization of what that means and the emotional attachments associated to and from that. And then they, just turn off to it. But it's just like and it's like the story, you know, I'm saying it's like if I was talking about The Lion King, like, The Lion King can teach you something. It's not a real story. There's not talking lions, but there are truths in that movie that are pointing at narratives of life, stories of life and actions and modes of behavior, and even deeper than that. But you can learn and pull things from there. So the Bible or Jesus is a fictional character at least is like, you can learn from this Harry Potter, you can learn from this. The relationship with Jesus, the chain breaker. That thing is real because there are real chains on us from our pleasure and from our pain and all the associations. Let's say you can't have a relationship with Harry Potter. But you can't have relationship with Jesus. Yeah. That's the one thing that I've been having a difficult time. Like how do you express that specifically that the relationship. Yeah. It's like because you can't it's a relationship. It is because he talks back that, yeah. If I had. Come on. Sorry I know that's what's going on. That's how it's different was because the number one question is like, he doesn't talk like I can talk to him, but he doesn't talk to me. That's like the number one rebuttal to you can have a relationship with Jesus. It's like, well, not really, because it didn't talk to me. Your first answer is he he talks. He talks back. What do you mean? That's what a relationship is. And I and specifically like in my own witness and testimony and story, I can see how things are playing out and see how life reacts to my actions and my mental behavior and then life, and then that will determine some of my actions. And then the life will play out. And then I'll see, like other determined and be able to manifest blessings or manifest and produce an idea that would like, lead me to a better place. So a better situation and thinking things are going to happen. And, Just like the winks we were talking about when we were younger, bro in our 20s, that we didn't know anything, but we knew everything. And that was a truth that we still hold to to this day. Seeing a 38, seeing a black Corvette, seeing the 38 on the purple jersey in the two NFL commercials at the gym on Saturday morning, and putting the Vikings in the power and then having them cover. That's the evolution. It's like that is crazy. You have an Arizona and San Francisco to be presented to me, and then I see them. I pick these things on Saturday night. I wake up, go to church. The two I'm battling with these. I'm battling with these choices. I want to pick the other ones for sure. I want to pick both of the other games. I'm like, I don't think either of these are going to happen logically, logically with how I determine and read reality. This doesn't make sense to me. It's the logically does not two plus two equal four right here I would not do that. I would go the other way. I'll pick the other fork. The other crossroads, and then to battle with both of that, and then to see the two teams out of all the 32 or whomever. Yeah. Because but regardless of five weeks or whatever, to see the two teams that out of the 32 that I was like battling with the first thing I want going to church, I see one of the teams jerseys, I sit down next to somebody, we start chatting it up. I'm wearing my green Bay jersey, talking about green Bay, Dallas, talking about the tie. And then I was like, who's your team? But like, who you who do you go for? All right. Because I ask him also you Cowboys fan. He's like, no, no, no, I'm a I was I want to see a good game or like I want to I wanted a Packers to win. And I was like oh he's like who's your team? And he was wearing a San Francisco hat. San Francisco 40 niners I, I literally didn't even see it. He was just like so out of me. Like that was like a wink or a communicative pathway if I'm able to determine it as such, you know, and follow the idea of that, that is a true thing and that is how this works. And if you can manage that faith even when it doesn't work out, because Arizona covered on like a trap door. But then the other one didn't cover sounds like because last week they both and it was. And then there was a third. Oh, I just realized it's even deeper because I saw I wanted to pick a third game when I saw the purple 38 jersey, the 30. It's been a week for us for over like almost ten years now, like 8 or 9 years seeing 30, 18 black corvettes, a signing language for the universe to talk to you through things you want to manifest. If you know that you're, like, contributing your best. Yeah, it's like I saw the Chicago. I wanted to pick them. They're on a bye week. I picked them this week and they they want their four and a half, two point docs a you're sitting on that Bruin on it, Bruin on it talking about like I'm a I need this is an extra added variable because what happens if I see it. And they're not even in this week. Like do I play them next week. Like is it like a. And then I was like, yes, they were testing the water like oh okay. So yeah. So like testing the water seeing what how it plays out, seeing your interpretation of how it plays out and how it's for your betterment. And then believing that that's a true thing that can happen is happening. That relationship is real. It's relationship with life. What do you think is happening with your life? And then it's like, oh, this sucks, or this is great. This is this feels incredible. That's how you like to to like determine the blessing versus the, the shitty experience. Because like, I'll be crying at the game. It's like life gets so beautiful that you're over, like kind of church. It's like just getting to that overwhelmed. Overwhelmed. And like when your daughter graduates from college or gets married, that's crying, bro. Dude, I cry thinking about telling my daughter how to be a better person. I'm like explaining to her to not be. I have daydreams about explaining to her why she should not be so angry at the people that she's playing against, and like just wrapping my mind around like that sentiment and like what I would express to her and like that stuff makes me. I'll literally be tearing up, bro. Yeah, just the thought of it, you know what I'm saying? Much less when it happens. Yeah. And that's like the equal and opposite, inarguable aspect of pain, because you could have that. And it's and you can't. I am crying, bro. Like you can't be like, hey, stop that, I can't, it's coming out of me, man. I can't stop it. All I can do is hold it back. It's just overwhelming love and joy and. Yeah. What is that crying from joy? Crying at the wedding is like. Because I remember stepdaughter was like. I was like, are you think you're going to cry at our wedding? She's like, no, no, I'm going to cry. I was like, you're going to weep. That's a fire. That's a fire prediction. So enough. Yeah. I think you're right, you're right. We're getting to the core of a lot of things here. There's a lot to digest. One, I think that that feeling you're describing and I can assign that to these games even when I miss the San Francisco one. Yeah. That's really one. I can take that and assign it to. What's happening in this. Like someone caught me off in traffic is fine. Like, I'm just trusting that whatever this is playing, I was playing it for my benefit. And someone's in architecture and architectural mode of that. The relationship with life is a real thing. So I think we I think we're going to argue writing like a book that's like ten rules for life, but it's different in the sense where it's more just like, I don't know, ten, ten things that help us get by or like and it would be like these things and now would be one of them that is like a staple core foundation stone that we used to have to develop your relationship with life, right? You have to be talks back. That's what makes it a relationship. No, but no, but no buts. My faith axioms come from my dad, who was a centrist and a conservative. School, like he went to SMU. So like he literally had or. Yeah. Belief system. Yeah. Like all of his teachers. It's a program like the same way of, like, Bill Belichick learned from Bill Parcells. It's like my dad learned the use playbook playbook for what is theology. So like he has a viewpoint that was sculpted by that program. And some churches like there's Baptists, like 1970 Baptist churches that would have a much different like viewpoint on the scriptures, like discernment for what the what it means and like what we should do in life because of what that says. Those things like turn out different for these different, like playbooks and shit, you know what I'm saying? So like, but my dad was a centrist in what was a conservative conservative SMU playbook, doctrine and theology of what the word says. And then I feel like I'm even then when I have these conversations with my dad about stuff, right. I, I'm I'm even more likely to believe that life is kind of magical, to believe that these stories are like, like, I'll really believe in a miracle. You know, I don't think it's a metaphor for something, per se. It's also it's like, what do you determine miracle to be like? The entire narrative of the Bible is based on the idea that God is talking back, right? Right through what happens in the people will just die. The earth will just eat you up, you know? Right. Like, I don't think that's allegory personally. Hyperbole. Right, right, right. And I think that. Yeah, I think it's useful that way too. And it's, it's probably more useful for me to think about it like it is hyperbole. I I'll agree with that. At least. At least at least at least that. Right. Like I'll agree with the conservatives on that part. But and I don't think the the conservatives would necessarily like this conversation, okay. That when you see a black Corvette, I think that's I think that's your I can attack that one the most because I think it's the weakest, but it's also level one, like level one is entry level, entry level shit. You guys don't even know what I'm talking about right now. Oh, yeah, I felt them. I felt a high level of it yesterday with the fry fest. To tie this all back in on the back end, we go to the tribe first and literally they have okay Six Flags, they do a great job. Preface everything I love six flags of love. Roller coasters they do wear your San Antonio Texas Six Flags Fright Fest all October long. It just comes to me on a whim. Where's this idea? Where do ideas come from? And impulses and urges? Whatever. I get one of those things from that place, God or the devil. And it is we should go to Fry Fest on Monday. And this is on like last Tuesday, and I'm driving to school. I'm like, hey, I don't, you know, we're talking about. But then I'm like, yeah, you want to? We haven't been to like one minute. You want to go on Monday maybe like yeah, yeah. Then talk to her mom. We we organize it. We go to Monday. It's fucking Friday first it's Halloween vibes with the Dia de Los Muertos vibes more so in the front, which I'm like, yeah, fuck with that. Let's go as far with the Halloween in the back, that's fine. But then the monsters come out and it's a whole thing, bro. They have all these smoke and fog machines. They have six haunted houses and then they're selling these Nobu necklaces, like, don't scare me because, like, they will just there's like, I want to pay the actors that are coming up, dressed up, make it up, and then, costumed out, have, like, little props and stuff that make noise, like little leaf blowers or whatever, you know, there's, like, little things to, to scare, you know, they'll run up on you. You make you scream and shit. They won't touch you. But it's like just like the Halloween, the content across the heart to the house. Yeah, it's a haunted. It's a haunted theme park. And then there's six haunted houses in the haunted theme park.
Okay, that, like, the monsters come at 7:00. My wife gets three necklaces, one for her. And then, we took the bun, and her friend. I got to ask, they make you pay for this? Yes. That's great. Yes. So I'm going to do 20 bucks. Lot of scary bucks to not scare you, bro. Even though you can't drive fast, it's like, oh my gosh, bro, come on. This is ridiculous. This is ridiculous. But it was like it went from. So there was the three for the girls. And then we went to I wasn't going to do the haunted houses. I was like, oh, it's fun because it's extra. It's like 50 bucks extra. Every if you just get a day pass and then go to the haunted houses are like, get the access to all of them is like 50 bucks. But then it comes free with our membership that we already have. So I was like, oh shit, okay. Like, oh, I'll do it. And then because we had like the girls wanted to go and they were like, it was they're going to go into like the unknowingly the most scary one like first for the jazz was like she's like backed out. They backed out like, not fuck that man. Fuck that. And then, mom was like, yeah, yeah, mom, you can go with you like we have, we have the passes. I was like, okay, yeah, I wasn't planning on going, but like, I'll definitely like lead y'all through the haunted houses and then it went from no blue necklace holding my hands, eyes down. Like walking through the haunted houses like that to buy the six haunted house she like. But if I buy, like, the fourth or fifth, she's like, took her necklace off and was like, what? The sixth one? She was on hold in my hand anymore. And I was like, this is deeper than what I'm just watching right now in my life, you know what I'm saying? It's deeper than we went to Six Flags one day. It's like, God can give you that level of analysis and vision and insight into how it actually is. That way, if you like, believe in it. It's like I do believe in it. And he's like, okay, well, let me show you how and why. Like the justification for your belief to life. That's true. And that was. Yeah bro I went from seeing black corvettes to the entire day at Six Flags. You know saying I was like this is so much love. I'm feeling so much love in this moment. You know I'm saying like I love this kid. Like this is true life. This is what life is worth doing. This is what we're worth. This is the worthy sacrifice that justifies the suffering, the pain. And in that moment, nobody can tell you. You can't tell. It's not true. Right, exactly. The football. Tell me whatever. Dog football. Fuck off. But like the relationship with my stepdaughter. Like you can't take that from me. No, no, no, people aspire to have that. Every fucking movie in the world is about that. Every song is about that. It's like our our culture is centralized on a hope in a women of prayer that that can exist for us. We could be the hero of our own story. So. So that's what I would say to the conservative Christians that would be afraid to, to think about the Bible as not just like written text that's translated and these metaphors that literally make sense to us, but more so that like, life is fucking alive for real like that. It is like that. Like that. Yeah. And you have a this is this is core to this. Making sense is that you have a discernment piece in yourself. So, you know, you know, that's such a simple sentiment. It's like, did you do your best where you came or were you able to you know the truth like you do. And you can you can let that decay in you and you can not use it. And you can like slap it and be mad at it for trying to tell you, like, I don't think that was your best. You, like, shut it up. You can. And that's how you get psychopaths in this world, I think. Yeah, but but it's, it's a Jiminy Cricket inside of you. That's genuinely a blessing and a gift for you to navigate this life like a navigational tool. And, and that, that thing will also tell you whether or not you are bullshitting yourself, you know, the awareness of your experience. Yes. So when you see something that blows your fucking mind a little bit, a burning bush maybe, and you go and it talks to you, it's like at that point you should be looking at the Bible and saying, I think I've heard this before. Not saying this feels not like what God is to me. It's like, like, but that's what I'm saying to the conservatives, because I wouldn't really have this conversation with someone on the street like this, because I wouldn't want to talk heresy. I wouldn't want to. But I'm like, in my mind, like, that's that's life calling out to you. It's like, that's how also how the hero's journey starts and every literary book, his life comes to you like they come to the harbor and say, there's something that needs to be done. Like they come to a call to action. Yes, a call to action. Right. So, so I think those things that's real, that's real, it's real, it's real, it's real. And that's the relationship with God. Like because I talk that's how he talks back you know. So that's how we communicate. But as an advice like like a fucking prescription I would give someone it's like it's hard to put into words exactly how you start to develop this relationship with God like that. But there's a piece of you and explorative piece of you that has an intuition or an intimation, or a daydream or an impulse to start some kind of communication and just see where that goes and how to even talk to anybody, you know what I'm saying? So, like, where do I get that impulse to even say, like, hey, we should go to the preface, you know, saying, if I didn't say that, if I wasn't in that frame of mind, if I wasn't doing what I was doing at that point in time and hadn't the right mental like thought patterns occurring before that, that that thought wouldn't have surfaced to the top. And it maybe if it did service at the top, I wouldn't have acted on it. But it's surface to the top and I acted on it and it resulted in like crazy, crazy times. And then we're leaving the park and then, yeah, I get, you know, one of the volleyball game on Sunday to say, I don't know what's going on, man. Life is getting crazy. What, like Joe Rogan's life? I don't know what's going on, bro. His life is. His life is. It's crazy wild to the point where you're like, what the fuck's going on, man? I'm just, like, doing my best. I'm just doing my best and working hard and, like, he doesn't believe in Jesus Christ per se, but he is embodying some of the behaviors that puts you in the space where your life becomes to yourself undeniably crazy and like blessed. And you get to those moments where you're crying and like, you're so feeling so good, I, I'm about to cry right now. I just realized this is the conversation I want to have with Joe Rogan when we go. Yeah. And like like you're objective, but then it'll be funny because it's like, critique Christianity with me right now. Because I think you would believe in the wings. Joe Rogan, how do you end up at the fucking inauguration? I think it's going down the fucking rabbit hole. What if on the White Rabbit? Yeah, tell me that's not what you've done please. So then we get that story about how. Yeah. And then on top of that he's going to end up more or less in my opinion supporting our view on the Christian tax which would also validate I think Christianity for him too because I think that's that's the barrier that keeps him away in my opinion is that he knows life is fucking mystical. So Jordan Peterson makes sense to I'm talking about mystical experiences. It's like, that's real. I know that that should make sense to me. I'm fucking Harry Potter. Yeah, that's how I'm in the fucking I'm not, bro. And so like, I think that there's a gap that can be bridged there. And I wonder if this next wave of Christian evangelist type, force, frank type, revival type revival, paganism type is supposed to help bridge that gap, to make people realize that there's burning bushes in your life right now. Come on, let's burn the bushes in your life right now. Yeah, definitely. Definitely. I'm not exactly sure how to land that plane, but that's it. That's the critique that's worth following. It's worth acting as if that is true, and then seeing what happens and truly doing your best and acting as if that is true. Yes. If I do my best, I will have the best results. And if I believe in the highest good, that is will. If I develop the best type of what's the have what looks like the best type of relationship with another being another person, your mom, your dad, your best friend, your wife? Whatever your partner, what does that relationship look like and feel like to you? Yes. And then develop and like, just know that the relationship with life itself is the thing that generates the relationships. The relationship with that thing is it transcends your understanding of talking to your boy and like how good you feel with that. And it's like it's a different it's the same thing, but a different thing. And it's worth believing that if you do your best and act as if it is true, it will play out in ways that'll make you cry. And from joy, yes. Which is you juxtapose that crying with joy, feeling with the crying from pain feeling, and you juxtapose it a lot lately because I feel like you're like kind of like that's like the navigation. That's where the roads lead. That is the the what else could you ask for? Yeah. It's where you get GPS and you don't have to have it in any. You have to have it on vacation. You don't have to have it like doing crazy, crazy shit. Like you could just have it chilling in your house, going to watching a movie with your family. I was warming up playing basketball before my workout, and I have a headphone in, and I'm listening to this awesome Christian song that came on on Voice Rank Radio. And then I'm daydreaming about being done with that and shit. And I get to that place and everything got starts going in. My rhythm is crazy. I'm out of my mind. I'm making like six out of ten shots at least, which is a crazy percentage. But in the moment I'm being, like, generous. I'm making like a lot in a row. It's so weird to me. It's like a, it's like, the feeling that you get when you're in that place is like, heavenly is what I'm trying to describe. Like, I literally get to like, I'm I'm so elated with the motion that, like, I'm, like, dancing with the music, like I'm literally dribbling on beat and, like, pulling up and shooting and making the the shot going in so effortlessly. It's like, it feels that way in the gym when you're banging on the playlist. Yeah, right. Yeah. The seen it in the gym is definitely more like directly translated. Yeah. It's crazy. It's crazy to see like and then like to be like breaking down what is shooting at three pointers. Like I'm going to like just throw this at the objective and it's going to hit the objective perfectly, just like physics wise. That's fucking crazy. You know what I'm saying? It's like there is no you don't I don't have a set shot. It's like every single, no matter how I put the ball, the hoop, there's different weight on different things, on different stances, on different momentum. Momentums ball and hoop stuffed. Yeah. The fuck's going on there? It's like, yeah, like you said, seeing it like there is like evidence that there's something weird going on here that my state of being affects my matrix in a weird way. Yeah, my interaction with it. Yeah. But then I think people would get a frame. When you start signing off, though, it's almost time I go, totally. I'm with you. Even when things don't work out or even when, like 32nd wrap up with the NFL, even when I get picks wrong. Like what the meaning that I attached to the picks gives me data to then learn from for the next week's picks. Which is like the the losses turn into lessons, right? It's like the cliche way to say it, but it's like literally like assigning meaning and attaching ideas to outcomes. Oh, it's like murky water. Whether or not you should do that with like the NFL, defining what your life is going to feel like. But ultimately we make gambles every single day. Everything's a gamble. The way that you act in your relationship with your partner is a gamble. And we're every single out behavior that we put out. You're going to gamble what you think is the best decision in that moment. And then you're going to have data come back whether or not that was a fruitful wager. And if you assign meaning to your wagers and and and you use the discernment to know whether or not you really were making the best wager you could have made, that will ultimately give you enough data and enough meaning over time to give you proof. Like you'll know. You'll know just by paying attention. And so it's like there is no there is no scary side. There's no losing side to paying attention to your life and to assigning meaning to it. And then even if you say, well, that didn't work out, as I would say, a Corvette doesn't say God. And then this I was like, I don't think it's that. It's like, that's good data. Fuck that. Don't do that. Then do something else and you can keep going further and further. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Then you can find something like that was real. Like that other shit wasn't real. But when I did that with the thing and like, that was fucking real. Yeah. When I acted in this way because of what I thought about this thing. Yeah, I like that. I like assigning the meaning to the thing with that. When I see this come around, it makes me want to do this and it just feels right. Like you can catch those. You're just going to have your own fucking story. Literary metaphors that make sense to you. Yeah. So pursue that pursuit. That was worth it. Super worth it. Crazy. Worth it. It's all we're doing here is push that rock up that hill and hopefully we can help you do it. Give you some some gas. Give me a little espresso in your system. Keep you going. Were rooting for you or rooting for you mean do this? They could do this or whatever. Whatever mountain you're trying to climb, whatever mountain you're pushing your stone up or I'll push stones up. Bones, I know you can do it, so keep going. It's worth it. I fucking love you. Bang! 1 or 2. One, two. Three on the way. Boom! Love you. Bye.
