00:01:11.780 Tom Lobster Productions.

00:01:13.780 We are being hypnotized by people like this.

00:01:22.020 Newsreaders, politicians, teachers, lecturers.

00:01:26.700 We are in a country and in a world that is being run by unbelievably sick people.

00:01:34.380 The chasm between what we're told is going on and what is really going on is absolutely insane.

00:01:41.020 Oh, yeah, dude.

00:01:42.220 There's some Nephilim shit.

00:01:43.420 It's like we all know what's going down.

00:01:46.080 We know we're saying shit what happened to the home of the brave.

00:01:49.500 Motherf***ers, they're controlling us now.

00:01:51.240 We know we're talking about how they made us part of these slaves.

00:01:54.400 And everybody's just walking around.

00:01:56.440 Heading to class.

00:01:57.180 We want to wake up to a dead in the grave.

00:01:59.580 Finally, it's too late.

00:02:00.500 We need to be ready to raise up.

00:02:02.420 Welcome to the end of the day.

00:02:04.140 Everybody is slave.

00:02:05.580 Only some are aware that the government releases.

00:02:10.040 Welcome back, ladies and gentlemen, to another episode of NDS Chronicles,

00:02:14.160 the show where we read your submitted paranormal testimony.

00:02:18.080 My name is David Lee Corbo, a.k.a. The Raven.

00:02:21.160 And that is Top Lobster, the father of disinformation.

00:02:24.300 Is this going to be a 30-second preview?

00:02:25.960 Are we going to cut these people off?

00:02:27.100 Should we go through that spiel?

00:02:28.960 I don't know.

00:02:29.720 Yeah, screw it.

00:02:30.780 I don't want them to.

00:02:31.340 No, we're going to take it away from them.

00:02:32.380 Guys, this is only a 30-minute preview.

00:02:34.680 Sometime around the 30-minute mark, we're going live exclusively to

00:02:37.400 patreon.com backslash Nephilim Death Squad.

00:02:40.100 If you'd like to continue watching, enjoying an ad-free viewing experience,

00:02:44.520 and also gaining access to the episode before the pours,

00:02:47.420 I mean the other people,

00:02:49.560 then you can do so over at patreon.com backslash Nephilim Death Squad.

00:02:53.740 There's also a little discount code in there for merchandise at toplobster.com.

00:02:58.360 That's cool, too.

00:02:59.400 You can get that.

00:03:00.320 Oh, plus our episode that we just did with Nick of the Occult Rejects,

00:03:04.300 which I thought was a great conversation.

00:03:05.960 Some of you got to watch it.

00:03:07.360 And by some of you, I mean the Patreon elite got to watch it.

00:03:11.120 That's right.

00:03:11.900 You can watch it ad-free and early.

00:03:14.740 You can also buy some Top Lobster merch, as always.

00:03:17.320 But let's get into the show,

00:03:18.480 because we were supposed to have a different show for you today,

00:03:20.300 but we are quick on our feet,

00:03:21.800 so we're going to be giving you guys actual good content,

00:03:24.520 most likely, probably not good content,

00:03:26.180 but content in general.

00:03:27.880 You will be getting content.

00:03:29.700 This is where we're at.

00:03:30.400 I can't guarantee it's good.

00:03:31.120 It's the fall of America,

00:03:32.160 and you guys just want content.

00:03:34.280 You just want content to fill your content hole.

00:03:37.440 Isn't that disgusting?

00:03:38.840 Yeah.

00:03:39.740 We're just going to fill you.

00:03:40.520 Everything is on fire.

00:03:42.220 Everything's falling apart.

00:03:43.440 The Antichrist just became the president,

00:03:45.260 and they're like,

00:03:45.700 oh, give me more content.

00:03:47.260 Yeah, put it in my content holes.

00:03:49.660 And we're like,

00:03:49.960 which hole do you want it, Daddy?

00:03:51.180 Because we put it in one hole before at 10 in the morning,

00:03:54.160 and now we're back here at 2 p.m.

00:03:55.880 We're going to put it in the next hole, baby.

00:03:57.600 I didn't even take a shower.

00:03:59.360 Haram Life Podcast.

00:04:00.780 Oh, that's right.

00:04:01.720 Haram Life Podcast.

00:04:02.880 That's what we're talking about.

00:04:05.000 Let's see.

00:04:05.500 That's our first story is from the guys over at Haram Life Podcast.

00:04:09.060 Top, can you see if you mind, please?

00:04:11.120 Yeah, we were talking on Thomas' show,

00:04:15.040 or was it Nate's show?

00:04:19.000 Was it Reality's Ours with Thomas?

00:04:20.440 Whatever.

00:04:21.360 I think it was Reality's Ours, yeah.

00:04:23.320 Yeah.

00:04:23.540 We mentioned that we do this,

00:04:25.580 and they're like,

00:04:26.060 this seems like a very serious show.

00:04:27.540 We said you should pop over,

00:04:28.820 and they said,

00:04:29.360 hey, fucked up shit happened to me,

00:04:31.380 and I was like,

00:04:31.760 you know what?

00:04:32.140 Email me, bro.

00:04:33.320 And he did.

00:04:34.160 So here we go.

00:04:36.080 Just a little background.

00:04:37.180 I'm from New York City.

00:04:39.200 Disgusting.

00:04:39.860 You know what?

00:04:40.680 Let's read another email.

00:04:43.020 The end, right?

00:04:43.760 That was a horrifying story, actually,

00:04:45.500 from start to finish.

00:04:46.260 We have Callum lined up.

00:04:49.140 Callum says,

00:04:49.860 yeah, let's do Callum.

00:04:51.320 Hello, Nephilim.

00:04:53.080 I'm dead serious.

00:04:54.420 Hello, Nephilim D Squad.

00:04:55.700 This is Callum.

00:04:56.360 What's up, Callum?

00:04:57.480 Your podcast is awesome.

00:04:59.100 So many things I have thought confirmed.

00:05:01.660 That's right.

00:05:02.500 People listen to us for the confirmation bias,

00:05:05.180 so please continue.

00:05:06.040 Yeah.

00:05:06.600 They wait for us to tell them that they're correct.

00:05:09.600 Yeah, you can go into a real nice C-hole over here,

00:05:12.640 your confirmation bias,

00:05:13.860 and fill your content holes.

00:05:14.980 Yeah, we're filling C-holes.

00:05:15.760 Whether it's your content hole

00:05:17.040 or your confirmation bias hole,

00:05:18.640 we're filling it up.

00:05:19.400 Oh, Callum, here he is.

00:05:20.280 I got him.

00:05:20.660 Okay.

00:05:20.960 Yeah, it's just stuffing your content holes.

00:05:22.960 All right, a bit about myself.

00:05:24.040 My name is Callum.

00:05:25.360 Maybe we'll get back to you, Haram Life,

00:05:28.580 but you started off bad.

00:05:30.060 Yeah, you probably should have thought about it

00:05:31.320 before you were from New York City.

00:05:34.840 My name is Callum.

00:05:35.920 I live in New Zealand.

00:05:38.280 Ah, look, that's better.

00:05:39.160 That's better.

00:05:39.600 I like New Zealand school.

00:05:40.560 That's where they filmed the Lord of the Rings, dude.

00:05:42.560 I know, but you know what?

00:05:43.720 They're not as cucked as Australia,

00:05:45.460 so I suppose we can finish reading this.

00:05:47.900 Oh, this next line is cool.

00:05:49.420 Maybe we should be nice to them.

00:05:50.980 I make rum.

00:05:52.160 Exceptional.

00:05:52.720 High.

00:05:53.480 Very high value rum.

00:05:55.440 He wants us to know.

00:05:56.780 I am married and have two kids,

00:05:58.520 so he's not gay.

00:05:59.460 Makes rum from an island

00:06:01.520 that is next to a gay island.

00:06:03.540 I am also a Christian.

00:06:05.040 Pretty cool.

00:06:05.540 And I'm convinced that the elites are in bed with the devil.

00:06:09.360 Yes.

00:06:10.120 Us too.

00:06:11.200 I like how we're just massaging our C-holes right now.

00:06:14.900 Like, this is my confirmation hole,

00:06:16.840 and he's just rubbing his fingers over it.

00:06:19.300 All around the rim.

00:06:19.860 All around the rim.

00:06:21.140 Get it nice and confirmed.

00:06:23.480 All right.

00:06:24.960 He asks us,

00:06:26.120 have you ever looked into Tibet?

00:06:29.480 I'm feeling silly because we were just listening.

00:06:31.400 We were watching some really good content

00:06:32.840 while we were waiting for our guests to show up.

00:06:34.600 I got to tell them.

00:06:35.840 No, because the chat is here.

00:06:37.140 I want to tell the chat what we were watching.

00:06:38.600 What we were watching was,

00:06:39.980 congratulations to Greypilled Podcast.

00:06:41.840 Yesterday was his one-year anniversary.

00:06:43.660 I want to tell them.

00:06:45.120 And towards the end of it,

00:06:46.960 he made his wife,

00:06:49.360 I think actually it was the chat that made his wife angry,

00:06:51.480 but either way.

00:06:52.680 The chat.

00:06:53.300 We're not going to say who in the chat.

00:06:54.800 Just the chat.

00:06:55.200 It was me.

00:06:55.680 It was me,

00:06:56.280 and it was also Top,

00:06:57.300 and maybe a bunch of other people.

00:06:58.420 I didn't do it.

00:06:59.480 I was very nice to her.

00:07:00.320 You played a role in it.

00:07:00.940 You played a role in it.

00:07:01.700 So what ends up happening is they get into a fight

00:07:04.920 because we were being mean.

00:07:08.040 Shout out, Olivia.

00:07:09.660 And at one point,

00:07:11.620 towards the end of a fucking 15-hour stream,

00:07:14.680 something ungodly like that.

00:07:18.440 I feel like I have to play it.

00:07:20.040 No, don't play it.

00:07:21.200 Don't play it.

00:07:21.640 Don't play it.

00:07:22.520 We've done enough already.

00:07:23.720 When he starts playing the piano,

00:07:25.640 I mean...

00:07:26.020 When he starts playing the piano,

00:07:27.300 Assbutt,

00:07:27.740 shout out to Assbutt,

00:07:28.860 who is the realist MVP.

00:07:31.420 You want to talk about a talent,

00:07:33.120 an underrated talent,

00:07:34.040 it's Assbutt.

00:07:34.980 His ability to carry and steer the ship

00:07:37.600 as Jules was off camera getting berated.

00:07:39.940 We got to do it.

00:07:41.220 We have to

00:07:41.800 because it's the greatest thing I've ever seen.

00:07:43.360 I hope Assbutt is watching

00:08:05.780 Hi, I'm Darren Marlar,

00:08:07.440 host of the Weird Darkness podcast.

00:08:09.180 I want to talk about the most important tool

00:08:11.100 in my podcast belt.

00:08:12.500 Spreaker is the all-in-one platform

00:08:14.320 that makes it easy to record,

00:08:15.940 host,

00:08:16.260 and distribute your show everywhere,

00:08:17.960 from Apple Podcasts to Spotify.

00:08:19.640 But the real game changer for me

00:08:21.440 was Spreaker's monetization.

00:08:23.420 Spreaker offers dynamic ad insertion.

00:08:25.620 That means you can automatically insert ads

00:08:27.380 into your episodes.

00:08:28.500 No editing required.

00:08:29.940 And with Spreaker's programmatic ads,

00:08:31.800 they'll bring the ads to you,

00:08:33.100 and you get paid for every download.

00:08:34.960 This turned my podcasting hobby

00:08:36.540 into a full-time career.

00:08:38.060 Spreaker also has a premium subscription model

00:08:40.440 where your most dedicated listeners

00:08:42.020 can pay for bonus content or early access,

00:08:44.740 adding another revenue stream

00:08:46.100 to what you're already doing.

00:08:47.240 And the best part,

00:08:48.460 Spreaker grows with you.

00:08:49.980 Whether you're just starting out

00:08:51.060 or running a full-blown podcast network,

00:08:53.500 Spreaker's powerful tools

00:08:54.720 scale effortlessly as your show grows.

00:08:57.440 So if you're ready to podcast like a pro

00:08:59.360 and get paid while doing it,

00:09:01.100 check out Spreaker.com.

00:09:02.920 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.

00:09:06.400 Powerful ass,

00:09:07.080 but just like 30 seconds of this.

00:09:09.080 We don't know what's going on,

00:09:10.140 but it's very funny.

00:09:11.400 And it's so true.

00:09:12.580 The arcane said,

00:09:13.580 this couldn't be a more terrible ending.

00:09:17.860 We love you, Jules.

00:09:18.960 Jules, end the stream.

00:09:20.260 Jules, end the stream.

00:09:22.060 Come to Horseshoe's Hand Grenades.

00:09:23.940 I'm not stoned.

00:09:25.180 I'm drunk.

00:09:27.440 I'm giving you a little cocaine

00:09:28.660 on my stream.

00:09:30.040 Let's see what I want.

00:09:32.320 Okay.

00:09:33.100 Well, he didn't get a hold of you,

00:09:34.880 so thank God he didn't.

00:09:35.740 No one can end this but Jules.

00:09:38.240 There we go.

00:09:42.920 Boom, look at this.

00:09:44.040 Love it.

00:09:46.060 Incredible.

00:09:49.160 Oh, my God.

00:09:51.000 It just plays as the ship goes down.

00:09:52.680 It's just the most amazing thing

00:09:53.940 I've ever seen.

00:09:54.580 I'm so happy that I was part of it.

00:09:56.420 I'm sad that it went down

00:09:57.720 the way it did at the end,

00:09:58.700 but Jesus Christ, dude.

00:10:00.620 What?

00:10:01.020 I mean, yeah.

00:10:01.500 Look, this is what happens

00:10:02.920 when you get into the content creation space.

00:10:05.180 Sometimes feathers get ruffled,

00:10:06.660 but I really just want to say

00:10:08.660 congratulations to Grapehild on the Hulk music.

00:10:11.920 Was it the fucking sad

00:10:12.840 walking away Hulk music?

00:10:14.180 No, no.

00:10:14.680 It's a different song.

00:10:15.540 It's a different song.

00:10:16.920 Oh, my God.

00:10:17.840 But when, you know,

00:10:20.460 just shout out to Jules

00:10:21.920 for his one-year podcasting

00:10:23.840 and then also shout out to Assbutt

00:10:25.300 because a man under pressure.

00:10:27.560 A man under pressure is what we saw.

00:10:29.120 He should have played it.

00:10:30.580 Honestly, he had every ability

00:10:32.700 to just go,

00:10:34.040 hey, guys, I'm going to turn up the mic

00:10:35.460 so we can hear this.

00:10:36.220 You know what I mean?

00:10:36.700 Like, he could have just really been silent

00:10:38.420 and allowed.

00:10:39.040 Instead, he ran cover for him,

00:10:40.740 which was incredible.

00:10:42.380 He played music, quality music,

00:10:44.640 in order to try to drown out

00:10:45.820 the sounds of couples arguing.

00:10:47.320 I mean...

00:10:48.160 Well, it wasn't an argument.

00:10:49.160 He could have actually been playing,

00:10:50.580 like, music over a rape.

00:10:52.600 So he's probably playing, like...

00:10:54.220 That's true to him.

00:10:54.680 What I would say is that

00:10:55.520 this is interruption,

00:10:56.700 interference in investigation,

00:10:59.300 an active investigation in evidence.

00:11:01.360 Could be in trouble

00:11:01.980 for what you did there.

00:11:03.160 But, hey, dude, I liked it.

00:11:04.500 So, anyway, have you ever been

00:11:06.100 looked into tobacco bans

00:11:07.900 around the world?

00:11:09.520 Callum says,

00:11:10.260 number of deaths

00:11:11.760 and ages of deaths

00:11:13.100 don't really make sense to me.

00:11:14.700 A lot of cancer studies

00:11:15.820 can't even be reproduced

00:11:17.220 when the subject smokes.

00:11:20.000 Yeah, but there's something

00:11:20.800 we talked about.

00:11:21.540 Like, there was a Stu Peters thing

00:11:22.740 where we're like,

00:11:23.100 what the fuck is this guy?

00:11:23.880 He says a lot of stuff

00:11:25.080 that's right about the Jews,

00:11:26.100 but then he said some stuff

00:11:27.580 about nicotine

00:11:28.360 and we weren't sure.

00:11:29.140 Then, what's his name?

00:11:31.660 Dr. Jonathan Otto came on.

00:11:33.620 Jonathan Otto came, yeah.

00:11:35.160 Yeah.

00:11:35.860 He crushed.

00:11:37.120 He told us about drinking his piss.

00:11:38.060 He convinced me pretty well.

00:11:40.060 Yeah, I mean, besides the piss...

00:11:41.000 Well, I mean, look,

00:11:41.620 I'm not going to argue

00:11:42.320 with a man splashing piss

00:11:43.280 on his face

00:11:43.720 who's got the skin

00:11:44.640 of a newborn baby.

00:11:45.620 His face is flawless.

00:11:47.320 It's flawless.

00:11:48.060 It's also almost featureless.

00:11:49.340 What the fuck did you say, Gorbo?

00:11:50.320 I don't know.

00:11:51.540 Yeah, beats me, man.

00:11:53.680 But, yeah, Jonathan Otto,

00:11:54.940 he has quite a wealth of knowledge.

00:11:57.080 Also, quite a bit of piss

00:11:58.160 on his face.

00:11:59.060 And he looks great for it,

00:12:00.660 so who am I?

00:12:01.640 Yeah, who are we to say?

00:12:02.380 There's no studies

00:12:02.960 that prove him wrong.

00:12:03.740 There's no studies

00:12:04.220 that prove him right either.

00:12:05.500 But, yeah, there is a...

00:12:07.300 Obviously, there's some science

00:12:08.320 out there that talks about

00:12:09.600 the same receptors

00:12:11.260 that would readily hold on

00:12:13.640 to neurotoxins

00:12:15.420 or I think it's like

00:12:17.480 the snake venom, right?

00:12:18.800 Or was it the toxins that...

00:12:20.780 So, I forget what

00:12:22.060 the receptors are called.

00:12:22.900 I've been calling them

00:12:23.460 nicotine receptors.

00:12:24.300 Somebody pointed out to me

00:12:25.520 that it's like B1 receptors

00:12:26.960 or something

00:12:27.380 that's like an actual

00:12:28.040 terminology for you.

00:12:28.900 Yeah, sure, whatever, faggot.

00:12:29.460 But you...

00:12:30.440 So, the venoms

00:12:31.880 will attach to these receptors,

00:12:33.500 but nicotine is preferable,

00:12:34.900 and so the body

00:12:35.380 will boot off the venoms

00:12:37.260 if given the opportunity

00:12:38.700 to grab a hold

00:12:40.720 of nicotine instead.

00:12:42.520 Yeah.

00:12:42.840 Oh, by the way,

00:12:43.840 I've been wearing

00:12:45.140 this shirt all day,

00:12:46.280 and I'm like walking

00:12:47.020 around the stores

00:12:47.680 with my kids

00:12:48.320 like at Winn-Dixie and shit,

00:12:49.520 and people looking at me

00:12:50.340 and I'm like,

00:12:50.600 the fuck are you looking at?

00:12:51.380 And I was like,

00:12:51.660 I'm wearing a shirt

00:12:52.260 that says,

00:12:53.200 two wolves inside of me,

00:12:55.500 one's autistic,

00:12:56.360 the other one's retarded,

00:12:57.440 and then it says,

00:12:58.000 I am gay at the very bottom.

00:12:59.240 And I have two,

00:13:00.360 I have a four-year-old

00:13:01.140 and a six-year-old,

00:13:01.960 and I'm just like

00:13:02.460 walking to a supermarket

00:13:03.400 and I'm like,

00:13:04.180 forget.

00:13:04.480 Well, this is Florida,

00:13:05.280 so mostly they're just pissed off

00:13:06.500 that gays have a kid.

00:13:07.620 And they're like,

00:13:07.920 he says he's gay?

00:13:08.920 Fuck that guy.

00:13:10.220 I'm fucking believable.

00:13:11.260 How much you pay for that kid?

00:13:12.500 Yeah, I do the same thing.

00:13:13.620 I went out yesterday,

00:13:14.920 no, not yesterday,

00:13:15.640 a couple days ago,

00:13:16.200 and I was wearing

00:13:16.580 my Dangerous Retard shirt.

00:13:18.780 And I got white.

00:13:20.100 Actually, people seemed like

00:13:21.060 they really liked it.

00:13:21.840 I got a lot of smiles and laughs.

00:13:23.360 So, there you go.

00:13:24.360 Yeah, they do like this.

00:13:25.040 They really like that.

00:13:26.160 Old people like

00:13:27.000 the Dangerous Retard shirt

00:13:28.120 when I wear that

00:13:28.900 for whatever reason.

00:13:29.780 They don't like it.

00:13:30.220 Yeah, that was mostly

00:13:30.720 old people that were feeling it.

00:13:31.920 I think they don't like

00:13:32.680 the two wolves shirt

00:13:33.540 because they're more inclined

00:13:35.540 to wear a two wolves shirt.

00:13:37.520 They love that,

00:13:38.540 but then they're like,

00:13:39.420 retarded, autistic, gay.

00:13:40.960 They don't like the gays.

00:13:41.600 Yeah.

00:13:42.280 They're like,

00:13:42.560 I love vaccines.

00:13:43.520 All right, anyway.

00:13:44.040 So, he goes,

00:13:46.800 to top it off,

00:13:47.520 the venom vector,

00:13:48.500 like you had explored

00:13:49.200 in one of your episodes,

00:13:50.000 this is what we're talking about,

00:13:52.060 ivermectin also uses

00:13:53.340 the same pathway

00:13:54.080 which is helped

00:13:55.000 during COVID, right?

00:13:56.180 So, yeah,

00:13:56.520 it's the pathways

00:13:57.520 that we're talking about

00:13:58.500 and the nicotine

00:13:59.860 will block this pathway

00:14:01.480 to toxins

00:14:02.480 and neurochemicals.

00:14:05.180 He continues,

00:14:06.260 my thoughts are

00:14:07.120 that it's been

00:14:07.760 a plan and motive

00:14:09.260 to remove nicotine

00:14:10.420 and smoking

00:14:11.160 enough that their venoms

00:14:12.340 and new diseases

00:14:13.220 would be more effective.

00:14:15.580 Seems that way.

00:14:16.720 Yeah.

00:14:17.460 They encourage euthanasia,

00:14:19.000 diabetes,

00:14:19.500 drug use,

00:14:20.220 prescriptions

00:14:21.200 that slowly kill you,

00:14:22.520 abortion,

00:14:23.060 and the list goes on.

00:14:24.340 Basically,

00:14:25.000 everything that ensures

00:14:25.820 more deaths

00:14:26.720 and killing

00:14:27.260 but absolutely

00:14:28.420 forbids smoking.

00:14:30.220 It's not that they forbid it

00:14:31.300 but they have like,

00:14:32.580 it is funny

00:14:33.240 to see them,

00:14:34.940 like you're not allowed

00:14:35.720 to run commercials

00:14:37.100 for smoking anymore,

00:14:38.540 like you can't have

00:14:39.120 Joe Camel

00:14:39.760 which I get it

00:14:41.160 because like kids

00:14:41.660 are picking the shit up.

00:14:42.400 Or the Marble Roman.

00:14:43.220 The Marble Man.

00:14:44.800 Yeah.

00:14:45.520 Or like,

00:14:46.000 you know,

00:14:46.220 the Russian guy

00:14:46.860 with Marble Reds.

00:14:48.820 No,

00:14:49.100 you can't have that

00:14:50.280 but you could have,

00:14:52.320 I don't watch TV anymore

00:14:53.460 but when I do check it out

00:14:54.980 it's like,

00:14:55.500 you know,

00:14:55.940 Entresta

00:14:56.560 and it's like

00:14:57.060 for some girl

00:14:58.000 in a beach

00:14:58.640 and she's like,

00:14:59.200 she got rid of her

00:15:00.000 psoriasis

00:15:00.840 by taking this pill

00:15:01.940 may cause heart failure,

00:15:03.180 kidney failure,

00:15:04.500 prolapsed lungs.

00:15:06.020 Well,

00:15:06.140 that's really the thing,

00:15:07.200 right?

00:15:07.360 It's like,

00:15:07.900 we all recognize

00:15:09.100 that during the vid,

00:15:10.500 during the height

00:15:11.060 of the vid

00:15:11.500 that we kind of stopped

00:15:13.220 and went,

00:15:13.520 wait a second,

00:15:13.940 are you giving us

00:15:14.460 like free medical interventions?

00:15:17.200 Like,

00:15:17.320 you know how much insulin costs?

00:15:19.000 You know how many people

00:15:19.700 are like drowning

00:15:20.760 in medical bills

00:15:21.680 but you're gonna roll out

00:15:22.960 a mass inoculation

00:15:24.500 for free?

00:15:25.440 Wait,

00:15:26.060 you're gonna give me

00:15:26.660 a burger

00:15:27.120 to take it?

00:15:27.980 For free,

00:15:28.600 for free.

00:15:29.500 For free?

00:15:30.080 For free?

00:15:30.720 You're gonna do that for free?

00:15:31.560 Like,

00:15:31.760 no,

00:15:31.960 baby,

00:15:32.180 they don't do nothing

00:15:32.760 for free.

00:15:33.280 That's good for us.

00:15:34.320 So the idea

00:15:34.900 that they're just like,

00:15:35.840 oh,

00:15:36.380 we really want you

00:15:37.720 to stop having cancer

00:15:39.080 so we're gonna put

00:15:40.400 a disproportionate amount

00:15:41.500 of effort and money

00:15:42.480 into campaigns

00:15:43.960 to stop you

00:15:44.680 from smoking cigarettes

00:15:45.680 is like,

00:15:46.120 I don't know.

00:15:47.320 If something's for free,

00:15:48.480 you're the product

00:15:49.420 and yeah,

00:15:50.840 that's what's going on here.

00:15:52.040 So it's basically

00:15:52.820 everything that ensures

00:15:54.460 more deaths

00:15:55.240 and killing

00:15:55.680 is absolutely forbid

00:15:56.840 not quite as much

00:15:59.300 in America

00:15:59.720 but everywhere else

00:16:00.600 because it's so bad

00:16:01.680 for you.

00:16:02.520 See,

00:16:02.760 this is what I was saying.

00:16:03.460 New Zealand is probably

00:16:04.320 just as gay as Australia.

00:16:06.360 I assume

00:16:06.920 because that's where

00:16:08.620 Israel Adesanya comes from.

00:16:10.580 Which,

00:16:10.980 by the way,

00:16:11.480 look at Matthew Lane

00:16:12.220 doesn't even love us anymore.

00:16:13.140 He says,

00:16:13.420 how the fuck

00:16:13.920 did you guys take so long

00:16:15.120 to get onto this?

00:16:16.560 Ballbusters was interviewing

00:16:17.920 that chiropractor

00:16:19.500 that dropped that shit

00:16:20.620 years ago.

00:16:21.480 We're only one year old

00:16:22.880 baby boy.

00:16:24.020 We're just little baby boys

00:16:25.760 lost in the forest

00:16:26.800 you've got to give us

00:16:27.260 some time.

00:16:28.160 Thanks for being

00:16:28.640 a subscriber.

00:16:30.000 That's Matthew Lane.

00:16:30.720 I know him.

00:16:31.180 He likes us.

00:16:31.660 He's just being a dick.

00:16:33.080 You're being a little

00:16:33.580 meanie.

00:16:34.700 So he says,

00:16:35.140 anyway,

00:16:35.660 whatever.

00:16:36.800 It was a tough break

00:16:37.560 for Israel Adesanya.

00:16:38.860 Got knocked out.

00:16:39.820 It was really bad.

00:16:40.800 One of the guys

00:16:41.360 that I,

00:16:41.760 like,

00:16:42.100 you root against

00:16:42.700 but I kind of was hoping

00:16:43.680 that he would make

00:16:44.820 a little bit of a comeback

00:16:45.580 but it's a tough sport.

00:16:47.420 You have to be healthy.

00:16:48.540 You're killing everyone

00:16:49.160 around you

00:16:49.720 with your secondhand smoke.

00:16:50.880 I don't buy it.

00:16:51.560 What do you guys think?

00:16:53.160 I don't particularly

00:16:54.540 enjoy the smell

00:16:56.320 of smoke.

00:16:56.920 I think that people

00:16:57.680 who do it

00:16:58.540 and then blow it

00:16:59.320 in your face

00:16:59.820 are a little bit

00:17:00.360 obnoxious.

00:17:01.420 I would say that

00:17:02.200 about weed as well

00:17:03.140 which weed is something

00:17:04.420 that I will take part

00:17:06.120 in occasionally.

00:17:07.680 So it's not like,

00:17:08.980 yeah,

00:17:09.280 I don't smoke cigarettes

00:17:10.420 though.

00:17:11.060 But I also don't enjoy

00:17:12.140 if somebody blows

00:17:12.820 weed in my face.

00:17:14.180 Izzy's a great striker,

00:17:15.920 Chaney.

00:17:16.620 Come on.

00:17:17.080 Yeah, Chaney.

00:17:17.960 Now, you know,

00:17:18.480 I always thought

00:17:19.540 Izzy was pretty great

00:17:20.340 but he made some decisions

00:17:21.780 like the nail painting shit

00:17:23.100 I was like not about.

00:17:24.020 Yeah, like having sex

00:17:24.780 with his dog.

00:17:26.000 Not good.

00:17:26.920 It's not good.

00:17:27.960 Not good.

00:17:28.620 I like,

00:17:28.960 Chaney knows her shit though

00:17:29.840 when it comes to fighting.

00:17:30.760 I'll give her that.

00:17:31.500 The thing about Izzy

00:17:32.280 is like,

00:17:33.360 he's one of these guys

00:17:34.500 just like Anderson Silva.

00:17:35.620 He has like great movement

00:17:36.560 and it doesn't have much power

00:17:38.960 so that's not going to bail you out

00:17:40.300 when you get a little bit older

00:17:41.340 and once your reflexes

00:17:42.940 begin to slow down

00:17:43.960 just a little bit,

00:17:44.600 he's 36 now

00:17:45.460 or something like that

00:17:46.120 which is my age,

00:17:47.860 these guys are just younger

00:17:49.160 and just a little bit faster

00:17:50.140 and that dude caught him

00:17:51.300 with an overhand right.

00:17:52.520 He wouldn't have been caught

00:17:53.220 by that two years ago

00:17:54.620 but it's just a tough sport, man.

00:17:57.320 It's a different Izzy.

00:17:58.180 You can only take so many things

00:17:59.280 but yeah,

00:18:01.660 I mean,

00:18:02.020 on the smoking thing,

00:18:03.500 we pretty much laid out

00:18:04.960 what I think.

00:18:05.420 I'm a big fan of cigars.

00:18:08.800 Well, I think he's a big fan.

00:18:09.560 I have a cigar a couple times a month maybe.

00:18:12.480 I used to have it more often.

00:18:13.760 I don't do that now

00:18:14.360 but I have been looking at this situation

00:18:18.280 like all the information is there.

00:18:21.760 Should I be smoking like American spirits

00:18:24.640 or should I be like buying tobacco

00:18:26.220 and rolling my own cigarettes?

00:18:28.140 You know what I mean?

00:18:28.680 Because to me,

00:18:31.360 we've had enough of these conversations.

00:18:33.180 Jonathan Otto was just one

00:18:34.340 of the conversations that we had

00:18:35.920 on the topic of Venoms.

00:18:37.660 I forgot who else we spoke to.

00:18:38.880 Well, we went in it at length

00:18:40.740 and there was a lot of convincing information

00:18:43.380 there for me.

00:18:44.520 I don't know.

00:18:45.220 I mean,

00:18:45.680 would you ever pick up smoking

00:18:46.640 just because,

00:18:48.280 you know,

00:18:48.580 who knows who's shedding their vaccines

00:18:50.020 all over you?

00:18:50.720 Disgusting.

00:18:51.300 Vaccine shedding.

00:18:51.820 Well, our last,

00:18:52.820 our previous guest,

00:18:53.640 I mean,

00:18:53.840 if you guys were patrons,

00:18:54.780 you'd see that he chain smoked

00:18:55.980 the entire episode.

00:18:57.200 Pretty healthy.

00:18:58.020 Looked pretty healthy to me.

00:18:59.180 He didn't die.

00:19:00.420 Pretty alpha too.

00:19:01.260 It looked cool.

00:19:02.260 Chaney?

00:19:02.900 This isn't,

00:19:03.520 you know, Chaney,

00:19:04.260 I usually will just continue

00:19:05.800 and stay on topic with the show

00:19:07.020 but how dare you say this?

00:19:09.600 Accidentally knocking out Pereira.

00:19:11.420 I'm a big Alex Pereira fan

00:19:12.960 but hey dude,

00:19:14.740 he hit him,

00:19:15.240 like he hit him right in the temple.

00:19:16.700 Like that was like,

00:19:17.240 he didn't throw that punch

00:19:18.420 by accident.

00:19:20.440 Whatever.

00:19:20.960 This is the discussion

00:19:21.640 for another time.

00:19:22.260 She's being purposely inflammatory.

00:19:23.900 She's being obtuse

00:19:24.860 and inflammatory.

00:19:25.780 That's fine, Chaney.

00:19:26.580 You can come on,

00:19:27.180 you can come on the show soon.

00:19:28.940 That's another guy

00:19:29.460 that doesn't have

00:19:29.860 that put away power.

00:19:31.360 Yeah.

00:19:32.480 Come on,

00:19:32.940 we'll talk about this.

00:19:34.240 Anyway,

00:19:35.320 Callum says,

00:19:36.840 I would love to send you guys

00:19:38.640 some of the rums I make

00:19:39.660 if you have a mailing address.

00:19:41.560 I would love to get your,

00:19:42.320 I will send you my personal address, sir.

00:19:43.600 I don't have a mailing address.

00:19:44.860 What do we get?

00:19:45.340 Yeah,

00:19:45.500 no,

00:19:45.720 I would,

00:19:46.020 I would totally,

00:19:46.940 I think maybe,

00:19:48.100 if you don't mind,

00:19:48.740 yeah,

00:19:48.900 that would be great.

00:19:49.260 Is it legal?

00:19:50.300 Can they send rum

00:19:51.340 from the other side of the world?

00:19:52.820 If it's illegal,

00:19:53.000 send more,

00:19:53.560 send extra.

00:19:54.660 I like just the feeling

00:19:55.660 of like being,

00:19:56.540 like how cool am I

00:19:57.580 that I'm getting illegal things?

00:19:58.960 I was going to get a P.O. box,

00:20:00.980 but I can,

00:20:01.660 it's like a hundred and something bucks.

00:20:02.960 I'm like,

00:20:03.180 I don't know that anybody's

00:20:04.080 going to send me anything.

00:20:04.940 So I'm not going to get

00:20:05.580 a fucking P.O. box.

00:20:07.160 Yeah,

00:20:07.320 we'll get a P.O. box for NDS

00:20:09.140 when,

00:20:09.800 you know,

00:20:10.560 a little bit down the road.

00:20:11.300 So anyway,

00:20:11.600 he says,

00:20:11.840 looking forward to hearing from you.

00:20:12.840 Kind regards, Callum.

00:20:13.900 This is a short one.

00:20:15.140 Thank you, Callum.

00:20:15.800 Thank you, Callum.

00:20:16.780 I think we should,

00:20:17.560 can you put a note that maybe

00:20:18.600 like we should message him?

00:20:19.900 If it's not too much,

00:20:20.600 I would like to try your rum.

00:20:22.000 I have been enjoying

00:20:22.920 the occasional sangria lately.

00:20:25.680 I've been making that.

00:20:27.220 So with some New Zealand rum

00:20:45.640 Hi, I'm Darren Marlar,

00:20:47.320 host of the Weird Darkness podcast.

00:20:49.060 I want to talk about

00:20:49.760 the most important tool

00:20:50.960 in my podcast belt.

00:20:52.380 Spreaker is the all-in-one platform

00:20:54.140 that makes it easy to record,

00:20:55.820 host, and distribute

00:20:56.640 your show everywhere,

00:20:57.840 from Apple Podcasts to Spotify.

00:20:59.700 But the real game changer for me

00:21:01.320 was Spreaker's monetization.

00:21:03.200 Spreaker offers dynamic ad insertion.

00:21:05.480 That means you can automatically

00:21:06.420 insert ads into your episodes.

00:21:08.340 No editing required.

00:21:09.780 And with Spreaker's programmatic ads,

00:21:11.660 they'll bring the ads to you,

00:21:12.960 and you get paid for every download.

00:21:14.580 This turned my podcasting hobby

00:21:16.420 into a full-time career.

00:21:18.000 Spreaker also has a premium

00:21:19.380 subscription model

00:21:20.320 where your most dedicated listeners

00:21:21.900 can pay for bonus content

00:21:23.400 or early access,

00:21:24.620 adding another revenue stream

00:21:25.980 to what you're already doing.

00:21:27.260 And the best part,

00:21:28.320 Spreaker grows with you.

00:21:29.860 Whether you're just starting out

00:21:30.920 or running a full-blown

00:21:32.060 podcast network,

00:21:33.360 Spreaker's powerful tools

00:21:34.600 scale effortlessly

00:21:35.840 as your show grows.

00:21:42.760 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R.com.

00:21:46.340 Okay, I'll DM you.

00:21:47.840 I'll say we gotta send Callum our stuff.

00:21:50.580 Send Callum is...

00:21:52.160 I will admit, Callum,

00:21:53.600 it's a little upsetting

00:21:54.740 that it's not Callan

00:21:55.660 because that's clearly a name.

00:21:58.540 Whereas Callum,

00:21:59.840 it sounds like

00:22:01.100 really too close to like colostomy.

00:22:04.220 Send Callum address.

00:22:06.180 Okay, we got it.

00:22:07.260 I sent it there.

00:22:07.960 Thank you very much.

00:22:08.520 I do like when they end things

00:22:09.900 with like kind regards.

00:22:11.420 The regards that I send your way,

00:22:13.560 Callum,

00:22:13.820 they're also kind.

00:22:16.260 Yeah, you know what I don't like?

00:22:17.540 I don't like when people

00:22:18.540 start off their emails

00:22:19.880 with just a little background.

00:22:21.560 I'm from New York City

00:22:22.580 and grew up as a teenager.

00:22:24.060 Let's give them another chance though.

00:22:25.320 We'll run it back.

00:22:26.320 Going to all the clubs in Manhattan.

00:22:28.700 This is from Haram Life Podcast.

00:22:30.740 Haram Bay Life Podcast.

00:22:33.080 Okay.

00:22:33.940 And later on...

00:22:35.280 Haram, no, whatever.

00:22:36.380 Later on, eventually working in them.

00:22:38.900 All right.

00:22:39.360 So, so being in K-Holes

00:22:41.280 and candy flipping E

00:22:42.620 and acid was a normal life

00:22:44.380 in the late 90s

00:22:45.320 and early 2000s.

00:22:46.540 I wonder if he worked at a...

00:22:48.380 There was a place called

00:22:49.120 Happy Endings in the city.

00:22:51.020 Oh, that's where they jerk you off?

00:22:53.000 Nah, they didn't.

00:22:53.700 It was just a club

00:22:54.660 that was like a...

00:22:56.500 It was like a...

00:22:57.260 It had like a upstairs, I think,

00:22:58.920 or main level

00:22:59.520 and then like a basement

00:23:00.360 and the basement had a...

00:23:02.140 Like you would go

00:23:02.800 and hang out in the showers.

00:23:05.020 Like there was like VIP booths

00:23:06.480 in the showers

00:23:06.960 and we went there

00:23:07.960 because number one,

00:23:09.120 they were really easy with ID.

00:23:10.580 So I was like 18 or something.

00:23:12.060 Ah, you're despicable.

00:23:13.360 You were club hopping at 18.

00:23:15.000 What a...

00:23:15.540 What a...

00:23:16.180 I mean, that's Haram.

00:23:17.320 Like that's your...

00:23:18.540 It's Haram with myself.

00:23:20.380 That's it.

00:23:20.860 Yeah.

00:23:21.060 Haram with yourself, sir.

00:23:22.460 We would go in there

00:23:23.500 and they had a happy hour.

00:23:25.500 So we would run a scam.

00:23:27.000 Like I'd be like 30 of my friends

00:23:28.360 and it would be like a dollar drink.

00:23:30.180 So everyone would line up, boom,

00:23:31.740 and we would just load up the table

00:23:33.180 with drinks for that,

00:23:34.620 however long it was that time period,

00:23:36.720 get wasted

00:23:37.300 and then they'd kick us out.

00:23:39.180 Anyway.

00:23:39.840 You sound like the worst type of person.

00:23:42.260 It sucked.

00:23:43.160 It was bad.

00:23:43.600 At 18, dude, at 18,

00:23:44.740 I was...

00:23:45.480 I wasn't going.

00:23:46.500 I was homeless.

00:23:47.060 I wasn't going anywhere.

00:23:48.260 Go on.

00:23:48.420 Yeah.

00:23:48.940 It wasn't that much fun anyway.

00:23:50.360 I mean, you know,

00:23:51.000 I guess it's something

00:23:51.660 that people have to do.

00:23:52.780 Yeah, who knew?

00:23:53.200 Flirting with the devil wasn't fun.

00:23:55.280 It wasn't fun.

00:23:56.160 Wasn't fun.

00:23:56.920 Didn't even get a happy ending.

00:23:58.440 All right.

00:23:59.580 One night,

00:24:00.180 my two cousins and I decided

00:24:01.600 to do 17 grams of mushrooms.

00:24:04.000 What?

00:24:04.440 Wait, two cousins.

00:24:05.620 That's over five dried grams per.

00:24:09.740 Yeah, that's a lot.

00:24:11.080 That's several heroic doses.

00:24:13.380 Somewhere, some way,

00:24:14.680 what's his name?

00:24:15.380 Terrence McKenna is erect.

00:24:17.620 Yes.

00:24:18.240 And we made sure to weigh everything out.

00:24:21.640 What happened during that trip was insane.

00:24:23.720 Like, we were all experiencing

00:24:25.020 the same thing at the same time.

00:24:27.240 Interesting.

00:24:28.380 At first,

00:24:29.180 we were just filled with this

00:24:30.220 overwhelming sense of love,

00:24:31.540 which is,

00:24:32.160 this is what Nick was talking about before,

00:24:35.020 which I'm also kind of like,

00:24:35.940 when people say,

00:24:36.540 all right,

00:24:36.800 like, I feel like this sense of love.

00:24:38.260 I'm like,

00:24:38.760 what else, man?

00:24:40.600 Yeah.

00:24:40.820 What else?

00:24:41.100 Yeah, it feels like it would be a great cover

00:24:44.520 for Deception, you know?

00:24:46.760 Get you feeling all lovey and gay

00:24:50.980 and then be like,

00:24:51.940 ah, fucking the Bible's fake.

00:24:54.120 He did mention that,

00:24:55.800 like, you know,

00:24:56.440 what they need you to do

00:24:58.360 to partake in their rituals

00:25:00.400 is love them,

00:25:01.680 which was,

00:25:02.160 that was interesting.

00:25:03.620 Yeah, it was an interesting one.

00:25:04.620 And I think that was a,

00:25:06.460 definitely,

00:25:07.040 definitely a big truthful moment

00:25:08.940 that people should hold on to there.

00:25:10.700 Anyway,

00:25:11.680 he says,

00:25:12.140 but then things took a wild turn.

00:25:14.320 We somehow started flying through space.

00:25:17.180 It's fake.

00:25:18.340 Like,

00:25:18.800 we were actually traveling the cosmos.

00:25:21.220 It felt so real

00:25:22.160 that we had to hold on to the walls

00:25:23.460 just to keep ourselves grounded.

00:25:25.220 Like,

00:25:25.680 we were being transported

00:25:26.640 to another dimension.

00:25:28.340 All together.

00:25:28.880 That's interesting

00:25:29.500 for,

00:25:30.020 to have a shared experience like that.

00:25:31.980 Yeah,

00:25:32.260 mushroom spaceship.

00:25:34.740 Eventually,

00:25:35.140 we ended up in a place

00:25:36.180 that looked like ancient Egypt.

00:25:38.040 We walked into a pyramid

00:25:39.440 and inside,

00:25:40.920 there were these robed figures

00:25:42.840 with books all over the walls.

00:25:45.120 One of them asked us,

00:25:46.480 where do you want to go next?

00:25:48.380 That question sent us

00:25:49.600 to the next phase

00:25:50.460 of the experience

00:25:51.360 that David will read.

00:25:53.500 That's interesting though.

00:25:54.840 So,

00:25:55.760 I mean,

00:25:56.180 I have done quite a bit of mushrooms

00:25:57.780 and the visuals

00:25:59.580 were not substantial.

00:26:01.720 I mean,

00:26:01.940 there was pretty run-of-the-mill shit.

00:26:03.520 Like,

00:26:03.660 if you do mushrooms,

00:26:04.880 it seems like you're almost always going to

00:26:06.760 notice a sort of expanding,

00:26:09.320 contracting element

00:26:10.260 to the ground

00:26:10.920 and things like that.

00:26:11.600 Like,

00:26:11.720 I remember being like,

00:26:12.940 the grass and the earth

00:26:14.360 looked like it was heaving

00:26:15.360 and collapsing with breath.

00:26:17.660 And that was weird

00:26:18.560 because I was able to like

00:26:19.720 really critically look at it

00:26:21.100 while it was happening

00:26:22.060 and it would still be happening.

00:26:24.420 But,

00:26:24.940 as far as that level

00:26:26.500 of hallucination,

00:26:28.480 or,

00:26:28.740 I hate that word

00:26:29.840 because it's not,

00:26:30.900 I don't feel like

00:26:31.400 that's an accurate representation

00:26:32.560 of what's happening here,

00:26:33.540 but,

00:26:33.860 for you all to be transported

00:26:35.700 to a different place together,

00:26:37.820 ancient Egypt,

00:26:38.600 the fuck.

00:26:39.840 Okay,

00:26:40.180 we found ourselves in a room

00:26:43.380 with different versions of ourselves,

00:26:45.620 almost like we were looking at ourselves

00:26:47.100 from different timelines or realities.

00:26:49.020 I saw versions of myself

00:26:50.280 that I had only seen in my dreams.

00:26:52.520 Huh.

00:26:53.400 And you knew that you had seen them

00:26:54.840 in your dreams?

00:26:56.580 At the same time,

00:26:57.820 I noticed that my cousins

00:26:59.040 were experiencing the same thing,

00:27:00.980 seeing different versions

00:27:02.100 of themselves as well.

00:27:03.240 I would be interested in

00:27:05.080 knowing how you were able

00:27:07.180 to pick up on that.

00:27:08.000 Like,

00:27:08.360 what about,

00:27:08.920 well,

00:27:09.200 there's an extrasensory element

00:27:11.020 to being on mushrooms.

00:27:13.380 Kind of like a gnosis element

00:27:15.420 that hits you.

00:27:16.460 So,

00:27:16.720 maybe that's how he's getting

00:27:17.840 this information.

00:27:19.880 Well,

00:27:20.380 I mean,

00:27:20.500 as the trip,

00:27:21.260 what happened?

00:27:21.600 There's been,

00:27:22.240 you've never had like a,

00:27:25.420 there's a weird thing

00:27:27.620 that I did.

00:27:28.140 my mom asked me to draw

00:27:30.620 this picture of Jesus

00:27:32.720 and it's,

00:27:34.900 it's a pretty famous picture.

00:27:36.060 He's like holding a person

00:27:38.360 and the person is like the sinner

00:27:40.480 and below Jesus is like,

00:27:43.340 at his feet is kind of like running water

00:27:45.540 and he's holding this guy

00:27:47.140 and the guy is like,

00:27:50.060 I forget,

00:27:50.560 it's a,

00:27:50.820 it's a famous painting.

00:27:51.700 So,

00:27:52.200 I redrew it for her,

00:27:54.200 but instead of drawing the guy

00:27:55.740 who I don't even know,

00:27:57.160 indescript face,

00:27:58.180 I drew exactly what I look like

00:27:59.580 right now.

00:28:00.500 But when I drew this for her,

00:28:02.340 I was 12.

00:28:04.560 What the fuck?

00:28:05.700 Yeah,

00:28:06.140 it's a weird,

00:28:06.600 she probably still has the picture.

00:28:07.960 So like,

00:28:08.940 I somehow,

00:28:10.080 you know,

00:28:10.420 an artist will depict themselves

00:28:12.160 in some form or fashion

00:28:13.480 in whatever they're drawing,

00:28:14.780 like they'll have characteristics

00:28:15.800 of itself.

00:28:16.800 But this picture does,

00:28:17.840 like I've saw it recently

00:28:19.080 and I was like,

00:28:19.380 that's me right now.

00:28:20.780 Curly hair and everything.

00:28:22.180 And I didn't have that.

00:28:23.560 I had like short cropped hair.

00:28:24.940 I was like a little chubby kid.

00:28:26.180 I didn't look like how I do now.

00:28:28.480 But I drew myself in the future

00:28:30.580 and I was able to tell

00:28:32.000 even before I looked like this,

00:28:33.220 I was like,

00:28:33.460 oh,

00:28:33.600 that's me.

00:28:35.360 Like,

00:28:35.660 it's,

00:28:36.240 but it's not.

00:28:37.340 That's strange.

00:28:37.840 Right now at least.

00:28:38.600 Very strange.

00:28:39.320 Very strange.

00:28:39.720 That's very strange.

00:28:40.440 Yeah,

00:28:40.620 I like what Chaney said here

00:28:41.820 or how I see you in a dream,

00:28:44.000 but it's not you,

00:28:44.800 but I know it's you.

00:28:45.940 Same.

00:28:46.360 Like,

00:28:46.440 like that energy,

00:28:47.640 like you,

00:28:48.180 I've heard somebody

00:28:49.080 describing a dream recently

00:28:50.380 and they said they were with

00:28:53.760 someone

00:28:55.300 and they didn't,

00:28:57.240 they never saw them.

00:28:58.080 They just knew that they were there

00:28:59.240 like throughout the dream.

00:29:00.480 It was like,

00:29:01.020 you know,

00:29:01.340 rather uneventful.

00:29:02.340 It's like,

00:29:02.520 you don't actually see them in the dream,

00:29:03.820 but you know,

00:29:04.340 you have this sensation

00:29:05.760 that this is who you were with.

00:29:07.320 So yeah,

00:29:07.840 I think a lot of things

00:29:08.660 in a dreamscape

00:29:09.520 or in a,

00:29:10.280 in a psychedelic induced state

00:29:11.540 are just somehow

00:29:13.920 explicitly known.

00:29:16.120 Yeah.

00:29:16.520 Okay.

00:29:16.780 So as the trip progressed,

00:29:19.160 every time we closed our eyes,

00:29:20.960 we were met with apocalyptic images

00:29:22.700 of a battlefield.

00:29:24.320 Uh,

00:29:24.800 the same robe entity

00:29:26.440 would show up

00:29:27.820 and ask us

00:29:28.600 if we wanted to join the world

00:29:30.180 while explaining

00:29:31.600 that this world

00:29:32.500 didn't really matter

00:29:33.440 in the grand scheme of things.

00:29:34.980 So asking him

00:29:36.640 to join the world

00:29:37.780 filled with apocalyptic images

00:29:39.880 of a battlefield,

00:29:40.560 and that the one

00:29:43.340 that we are in

00:29:45.120 this world

00:29:46.860 doesn't really matter

00:29:47.840 in the grand scheme of things.

00:29:49.280 That's interesting.

00:29:51.000 By the end of the trip,

00:29:51.760 the scene became

00:29:52.460 even more surreal.

00:29:53.760 One of my cousins

00:29:54.360 looked like he was wearing

00:29:55.300 armor from ancient times,

00:29:57.220 like something out of a battle.

00:29:59.020 Hmm.

00:30:00.440 The other cousin

00:30:01.380 appeared as a wizard.

00:30:02.540 Fuck.

00:30:02.880 Okay.

00:30:04.620 Okay.

00:30:05.140 No,

00:30:05.360 look,

00:30:05.520 look,

00:30:05.700 I hurry.

00:30:07.120 Well,

00:30:07.580 this touches on like

00:30:09.320 the lion,

00:30:10.020 the witch,

00:30:10.220 and the wardrobe,

00:30:11.000 which also touches on

00:30:12.620 much of the people

00:30:14.340 who are being recruited

00:30:15.420 by these entities

00:30:16.400 and then claiming like,

00:30:17.540 uh,

00:30:17.780 Steven,

00:30:18.320 what the hell was that dude's name?

00:30:19.320 The kind of crazy guy

00:30:20.100 he was on tinfoil hat.

00:30:21.220 He was going to come on our podcast

00:30:22.460 and then he gave me an attitude.

00:30:25.780 You remember who I'm talking about?

00:30:29.060 No,

00:30:29.540 I don't.

00:30:31.220 Steven,

00:30:31.720 Steven something.

00:30:32.520 I forgot what his name was,

00:30:33.340 but he made a great episode

00:30:34.800 on tinfoil hat.

00:30:35.860 More or less what he says

00:30:36.940 is like he gets possessed

00:30:38.060 and in a different realm,

00:30:39.120 he goes on missions.

00:30:40.980 Oh,

00:30:41.200 yes.

00:30:41.980 Yeah.

00:30:42.220 Yeah.

00:30:42.340 That's the guy that we,

00:30:43.360 uh,

00:30:44.240 we were going to interview.

00:30:45.420 Yeah.

00:30:45.580 Yeah.

00:30:45.700 Yeah.

00:30:45.880 I was going to talk to him,

00:30:46.600 but then he said,

00:30:47.180 like,

00:30:47.560 I,

00:30:47.800 I was like,

00:30:48.280 Hey,

00:30:48.420 we got to reschedule.

00:30:49.280 And he was,

00:30:49.740 he might as well have been like,

00:30:50.800 fuck you,

00:30:51.260 you unprofessional tard.

00:30:52.320 And I was like,

00:30:53.020 true,

00:30:53.400 but I don't want to talk to you anymore.

00:30:55.080 Uh,

00:30:55.440 so,

00:30:56.120 so,

00:30:56.420 um,

00:30:57.640 but,

00:30:58.140 but,

00:30:58.360 uh,

00:30:59.180 we've heard this a lot.

00:31:00.280 And so I,

00:31:01.020 I've started looking at the lion,

00:31:02.140 the witch,

00:31:02.360 and the wardrobe as sort of an analogy

00:31:03.960 for these people's experiences,

00:31:05.200 where it seems like in some sort of dreamscape

00:31:07.140 or in a vision,

00:31:08.320 people are someplace else

00:31:11.620 and they're on a mission,

00:31:12.700 they're mission driven.

00:31:13.400 And there's a lot of like combat

00:31:14.740 and things like that,

00:31:15.860 much like the one lion,

00:31:17.160 the witch and the wardrobe.

00:31:17.700 So when he said,

00:31:19.100 of course,

00:31:19.380 like I kind of had a reaction there

00:31:21.620 when he said,

00:31:22.180 my other cousin appeared as a wizard.

00:31:24.200 Cause I was like,

00:31:24.880 yeah,

00:31:25.020 that tracks.

00:31:25.800 That's how this shit goes.

00:31:27.740 Um,

00:31:28.660 if you're willing to entertain

00:31:29.580 that line of thought

00:31:30.220 without recoiling at the level

00:31:31.780 of fantasy involved with it,

00:31:32.860 I,

00:31:33.100 I,

00:31:33.360 I eventually went outside

00:31:34.480 where I encountered these huge

00:31:35.780 spider-like humanoid beings.

00:31:37.980 They didn't scare me at all though.

00:31:39.320 They were just kind of there

00:31:40.220 and there seemed to be a lot of them.

00:31:43.100 Okay.

00:31:44.380 And then he goes,

00:31:45.020 that's all I can remember for now.

00:31:46.260 Hey,

00:31:46.520 Hey,

00:31:46.760 Haram life,

00:31:47.280 do me a favor.

00:31:48.380 Fucking remember more

00:31:49.860 about this realm.

00:31:51.820 Remember more about this realm,

00:31:53.360 please.

00:31:54.180 Because

00:31:54.540 that is

00:31:57.260 not

00:31:58.000 a

00:31:58.920 isolated incident.

00:32:01.040 Yeah,

00:32:01.200 he's like,

00:32:01.500 there's a lot.

00:32:01.700 Also there's spider-like humanoids

00:32:03.640 and it was just like,

00:32:04.400 whatever.

00:32:05.700 Uh,

00:32:06.000 that's all that I remember.

00:32:07.480 They alright.

00:32:08.720 Yeah,

00:32:09.060 they were alright.

00:32:09.800 They didn't,

00:32:10.720 they didn't say shit.

00:32:12.380 Kept rolling.

00:32:12.740 Steven,

00:32:13.040 what the hell was this guy's name?

00:32:13.980 Steven something.

00:32:14.660 He basically said like,

00:32:15.740 when he goes to this,

00:32:16.840 other realm,

00:32:17.760 what is it?

00:32:18.560 Steven with a D.

00:32:20.080 Ended up his name.

00:32:20.900 I don't remember.

00:32:21.560 Yeah,

00:32:21.760 he was on tinfoil hat.

00:32:22.720 He was like the Rambo dude

00:32:23.800 in the other world.

00:32:24.680 Yeah,

00:32:24.700 yeah,

00:32:24.720 he was like,

00:32:25.220 oh,

00:32:25.340 I basically become a different character.

00:32:27.440 I call him Rambo.

00:32:28.720 I'm like,

00:32:28.940 I've heard that before.

00:32:30.560 I've heard that before.

00:32:31.420 See,

00:32:31.860 that's interesting too.

00:32:32.680 So,

00:32:32.880 Cheney says,

00:32:34.200 men who stare out goats

00:32:36.380 is the military mapping this realm.

00:32:38.680 And that's my problem with this,

00:32:40.280 is like,

00:32:41.140 these realms are real,

00:32:42.220 in my opinion.

00:32:43.240 We don't have any maps.

00:32:45.400 And then,

00:32:46.500 it's like,

00:32:47.020 within Christianity,

00:32:48.600 I don't know that anybody's mapping it out

00:32:50.640 as much as they're cautioning people

00:32:52.700 against experiencing these things.

00:32:55.200 I don't know.

00:32:57.460 It's kind of the same thing as,

00:32:58.960 as,

00:32:59.700 yeah,

00:32:59.940 yeah,

00:33:00.080 there you go.

00:33:00.640 Cheney says,

00:33:01.060 stranger things is about bringing things back

00:33:02.780 from these realms.

00:33:03.920 It was kind of interesting

00:33:04.580 because when they said the spider humanoid thing,

00:33:06.100 I kind of started thinking about that.

00:33:07.800 That's weird,

00:33:08.480 dog.

00:33:09.300 That's the picture.

00:33:10.580 Yeah,

00:33:10.980 that's weird.

00:33:12.100 You drew that when you were 12?

00:33:13.700 Yeah,

00:33:14.040 it's not as good.

00:33:14.860 Like,

00:33:15.080 you can't really see the detail,

00:33:16.280 obviously.

00:33:16.340 That's pretty good for 12 years old,

00:33:17.940 dog.

00:33:19.120 Yeah,

00:33:19.560 yeah,

00:33:19.820 but I drew myself now.

00:33:22.080 It looks like a lot more detailed

00:33:23.820 when you see it,

00:33:24.700 the actual picture,

00:33:25.420 because my mom put it to her,

00:33:26.360 some kind of photocopy or something.

00:33:27.600 I don't even know,

00:33:28.480 but whatever.

00:33:29.020 Yeah,

00:33:29.280 very strange.

00:33:30.360 That is very strange.

00:33:31.920 I told you about the time

00:33:32.800 that I saw Jack when I was like,

00:33:34.600 I saw my son when I was like 13.

00:33:38.040 Weird.

00:33:38.300 And it wasn't even cool.

00:33:39.600 Like,

00:33:39.840 it wasn't like a thing

00:33:40.740 that would have been,

00:33:42.740 so,

00:33:43.380 so,

00:33:44.960 um,

00:33:45.360 I came home from school one day

00:33:46.720 and I was exhausted.

00:33:49.260 So exhausted

00:33:50.180 that I laid face down

00:33:51.860 on the couch

00:33:52.660 with my backpack

00:33:53.860 and my sneakers still on

00:33:54.780 and I,

00:33:55.640 and I passed out for a bit

00:33:56.660 and when I came to,

00:33:58.840 the thing that woke me up

00:34:00.380 was this little boy

00:34:01.980 coming out of my mom's room

00:34:03.500 and like,

00:34:04.860 trying to close the door behind him

00:34:06.640 in a sneaky way

00:34:08.080 so that nobody noticed

00:34:09.040 and then he started walking towards me

00:34:10.840 and my feeling,

00:34:12.600 this is why it's not like,

00:34:15.220 you know,

00:34:15.640 my feeling was

00:34:18.000 fucking like,

00:34:18.980 I was so annoyed.

00:34:20.400 I was so annoyed

00:34:21.100 when I saw him

00:34:21.740 because I knew,

00:34:22.900 somehow I knew his nature

00:34:24.080 and his nature was such

00:34:25.960 that I was not going to get

00:34:27.540 to go back to sleep.

00:34:28.520 Like this,

00:34:29.040 he was here to annoy me

00:34:30.640 and it was time,

00:34:31.480 like that was it.

00:34:32.440 Whatever nice moment

00:34:33.800 of relaxation I had

00:34:34.840 was gone.

00:34:35.700 And then as he walked towards me,

00:34:37.160 he just dissipated.

00:34:39.780 And I fucking was like,

00:34:41.420 all right,

00:34:41.680 don't know who that kid was.

00:34:43.120 But I had,

00:34:43.820 thank you,

00:34:44.100 oh,

00:34:44.360 Def Not Club Slut.

00:34:45.580 What?

00:34:46.780 Def Not Club Slut

00:34:47.640 says Stephen Kelly.

00:34:48.640 Yes,

00:34:48.980 that's him.

00:34:49.380 Stephen Kelly.

00:34:50.300 I don't know why I said D,

00:34:51.200 but yes,

00:34:51.640 that's right.

00:34:52.360 Stephen Deli,

00:34:53.500 not to be confused.

00:34:54.280 Oh,

00:34:54.420 because he was a dick.

00:34:55.220 That's why.

00:34:55.680 He was a dick to us.

00:34:56.580 Exactly why.

00:34:57.460 But yeah,

00:34:57.840 man,

00:34:58.160 when he vanished,

00:35:01.740 I was sat up and awake.

00:35:03.500 Like it's not like he vanished

00:35:04.680 and then I woke up again.

00:35:06.360 Like this kid was walking towards me.

00:35:08.020 I sat up,

00:35:08.680 I looked at him,

00:35:09.280 he vanished.

00:35:10.360 But before he vanished,

00:35:11.820 I wasn't confused about who he was.

00:35:13.720 I knew exactly who he was.

00:35:15.580 And I knew that he was related to me.

00:35:17.920 But I remember not being able to pin that down.

00:35:22.100 Like I described him as feeling like a little brother,

00:35:24.280 but I didn't have a little brother,

00:35:25.320 so I don't really know what that felt like.

00:35:27.560 And I was only 13.

00:35:28.960 So basically he was just this kid

00:35:30.420 that was there to ruin my sleep

00:35:31.660 and he was related to me.

00:35:33.800 So I mean,

00:35:34.300 that's my son.

00:35:36.940 Yeah,

00:35:37.320 your son.

00:35:38.020 That's my son,

00:35:38.760 dude.

00:35:38.900 That's my son.

00:35:40.180 So I don't know what it is,

00:35:41.580 man,

00:35:41.780 about the dream realm

00:35:42.920 and these other realms.

00:35:43.900 It's like time.

00:35:45.240 And yeah,

00:35:45.440 there you go.

00:35:45.720 Tinfoil hat.

00:35:46.240 Look,

00:35:46.980 I recommend people check that episode out too

00:35:48.600 because you might listen to it

00:35:49.640 and think that this dude's out of his mind.

00:35:51.580 And he almost certainly is.

00:35:54.020 But I have heard his story before

00:35:56.300 by people who were less out of their minds

00:35:58.980 and also thought

00:36:00.480 that they were out of their minds

00:36:02.220 when they were saying it.

00:36:03.200 Like they were embarrassed to share it.

00:36:04.460 The pre-qualifier less out of their minds.

00:36:06.760 Well,

00:36:07.200 that's it.

00:36:07.880 The pre-qualifier is,

00:36:09.420 do you know that this sounds crazy?

00:36:11.240 Because if you can say that,

00:36:12.580 then I'm like,

00:36:13.260 okay,

00:36:13.440 that's a little bit better.

00:36:14.720 Oh,

00:36:14.860 that's interesting.

00:36:15.860 Arcane Arsenal says there's a book

00:36:17.000 on mapping the DMT realm.

00:36:18.240 I don't want to map that realm

00:36:19.140 because I think that's where the fallen,

00:36:20.740 or at least the disembodied spirits

00:36:22.260 of the Nephilim are trapped.

00:36:23.140 But if there's a realm

00:36:25.660 where there are wizards

00:36:26.920 and shit like that,

00:36:29.300 well,

00:36:29.500 I'd love to map that out.

00:36:31.620 Nah,

00:36:32.040 you can keep all that stuff.

00:36:34.040 That's fucking white people lore.

00:36:35.820 That's my favorite shit right there.

00:36:37.060 I'd love to do that.

00:36:39.780 All right,

00:36:40.260 do you want to move on to this other one?

00:36:41.960 This is a long email.

00:36:43.240 That's why I read two short ones

00:36:45.180 right off the bat.

00:36:46.120 Yeah,

00:36:46.340 dude,

00:36:46.600 put it in.

00:36:46.920 Is it in the chat,

00:36:47.600 or which one is it?

00:36:48.320 Just tell me.

00:36:48.660 I'll find it.

00:36:49.060 It's in the chat.

00:36:50.120 It's connected to the,

00:36:50.820 it's just a URL connected to the email.

00:36:53.520 It's,

00:36:53.920 uh,

00:36:54.600 Sir,

00:36:55.920 Sirotnack.

00:36:58.780 Hi,

00:36:59.080 I'm Darren Marlar,

00:37:00.060 host of the Weird Darkness podcast.

00:37:01.820 I want to talk about

00:37:02.520 the most important tool

00:37:03.720 in my podcast belt.

00:37:05.120 Spreaker is the all-in-one platform

00:37:06.940 that makes it easy to record,

00:37:10.580 from Apple Podcasts

00:37:11.740 to Spotify.

00:37:12.460 But the real game changer for me

00:37:14.060 was Spreaker's monetization.

00:37:15.960 Spreaker offers dynamic ad insertion.

00:37:18.220 That means you can automatically

00:37:19.180 insert ads into your episodes.

00:37:20.920 No editing required.

00:37:22.340 And with Spreaker's programmatic ads,

00:37:24.420 they'll bring the ads to you,

00:37:25.720 and you get paid for every download.

00:37:27.600 This turned my podcasting hobby

00:37:29.160 into a full-time career.

00:37:30.680 Spreaker also has a premium subscription model

00:37:33.060 where your most dedicated listeners

00:37:34.640 can pay for bonus content

00:37:36.160 or early access,

00:37:37.360 adding another revenue stream

00:37:38.720 to what you're already doing.

00:37:40.000 And the best part,

00:37:41.060 Spreaker grows with you.

00:37:43.680 or running a full-blown podcast network,

00:37:46.100 Spreaker's powerful tools

00:37:47.340 scale effortlessly

00:37:48.580 as your show grows.

00:37:50.060 So if you're ready to podcast

00:37:52.000 and get paid while doing it,

00:37:53.720 check out Spreaker.com.

00:37:55.500 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.

00:37:59.260 Long, it says.

00:38:01.220 That's what it says.

00:38:02.060 It just says long.

00:38:03.120 Hold on, wait.

00:38:03.420 It says Serotnak,

00:38:04.600 parentheses, long.

00:38:06.480 Okay, I got it.

00:38:07.680 You got it.

00:38:08.760 Yeah.

00:38:09.380 Okay.

00:38:09.880 Oh, it's a,

00:38:10.780 damn, it's a,

00:38:11.240 it's a link within a link.

00:38:12.720 I didn't even put,

00:38:13.520 yeah, I didn't even try to put it

00:38:15.580 because there are like pictures

00:38:17.120 that are put in between here

00:38:19.960 in the email.

00:38:22.820 So I left them.

00:38:23.700 I couldn't do it.

00:38:25.580 Oh, wait, give me a second

00:38:26.440 because I'm trying to find it

00:38:27.360 and it's not,

00:38:28.000 it's not coming up for me.

00:38:30.000 Okay, I will send you.

00:38:31.880 Boom, let me try again.

00:38:33.960 Because it just said it,

00:38:34.900 it wasn't being loaded.

00:38:35.980 Yeah, it won't be loaded.

00:38:37.480 Okay, press that,

00:38:38.420 press the link I just sent you.

00:38:39.960 Okay, let me check out for that.

00:38:41.580 In what?

00:38:42.040 In here?

00:38:42.360 Okay, boom.

00:38:43.320 Yeah, there you go.

00:38:45.080 And it looks like it cannot be loaded.

00:38:47.180 What is wrong with this?

00:38:48.040 Why is it so long?

00:38:50.660 Well, because he wrote a lot.

00:38:52.360 So, all right,

00:38:52.860 we'll make a,

00:38:53.560 go ahead and talk a little bit

00:38:54.960 and I guess I'll have to make this into a.

00:38:57.060 Yeah, I'll just ramble.

00:38:57.860 That's fine because I was going to piss,

00:38:59.640 but you know.

00:39:00.520 Oh, you were going to piss?

00:39:01.820 No, I was going to piss,

00:39:02.780 but I can hold it.

00:39:03.680 Dude, I've been peeing so much.

00:39:05.460 I feel so bad.

00:39:06.100 I don't know if you've been noticing lately,

00:39:07.320 but every time we start a show,

00:39:08.440 I immediately have to get up and pee

00:39:09.760 and then I do it again

00:39:10.480 another 15 minutes later.

00:39:11.580 I haven't noticed.

00:39:13.140 You haven't noticed?

00:39:13.880 You don't even notice I'm gone.

00:39:14.920 Unbelievable.

00:39:15.600 No, that my co-host.

00:39:16.960 No, this is 23 pages long.

00:39:19.760 Whoa!

00:39:20.880 I'm excited.

00:39:21.480 Let's do it.

00:39:22.280 This guy's taking advantage.

00:39:24.000 He's taking advantage.

00:39:24.940 He is, Sir Ron.

00:39:25.480 Well, we always say,

00:39:26.420 we're like,

00:39:26.700 please make it,

00:39:28.100 you know,

00:39:28.500 include all the details.

00:39:29.900 He's like,

00:39:30.140 I'll tell you everything.

00:39:30.820 I'll tell you how it tasted,

00:39:31.760 how it smelled.

00:39:32.220 Honestly,

00:39:34.100 if somebody could tell us

00:39:34.800 how these other realms taste and smell,

00:39:36.100 I'd be interested in it.

00:39:37.380 You know what?

00:39:38.440 Well, let's start to read that,

00:39:40.740 but before you do,

00:39:43.220 before we start to read it,

00:39:44.620 this guy's name is...

00:39:45.500 This show is brought to you

00:39:46.540 by The Van Man Company.

00:39:47.960 If you're like me,

00:39:48.860 then you're constantly trying

00:39:49.860 to avoid products

00:39:50.680 that contain harmful chemicals,

00:39:52.480 especially when it comes

00:39:53.520 to skincare and hygiene.

00:39:55.120 From fluoride in the toothpaste

00:39:56.240 to aluminum in the deodorants,

00:39:58.300 avoiding these products

00:39:59.280 can become a full-time job.

00:40:00.820 That's why we're excited

00:40:01.800 to team up with

00:40:02.560 The Van Man Company

00:41:14.400 So,

00:41:15.100 guys,

00:41:16.560 everybody hold off

00:41:17.660 for just a minute.

00:41:18.820 We're going to read the stories,

00:41:20.260 but until we do,

00:41:22.280 we're going to

00:41:23.200 take a quick

00:41:24.200 break.

00:41:26.460 Like an ad break?

00:41:27.020 We'll be back.

00:41:27.720 Yeah,

00:41:27.880 just a little

00:41:28.360 quick break

00:41:29.880 and we'll be back.

00:41:32.580 All right?

00:41:33.280 What are you doing to these people?

00:41:34.640 Yesterday,

00:41:35.340 I apologized

00:41:36.400 for the terrible day.

00:41:37.800 I mean,

00:41:38.780 I thought they were both

00:41:39.540 good plays.

00:41:40.260 I think there was

00:41:41.060 professional money

00:41:42.580 on both of those plays

00:41:43.640 and thought they were

00:41:44.940 both good spots,

00:41:46.600 good reads

00:41:47.460 on those games

00:41:48.080 and they just did not happen.

00:41:49.540 St. Peter's

00:41:50.300 not getting the win.

00:41:53.280 Both of these

00:41:54.160 were outright

00:41:54.820 losses as favorites.

00:41:57.040 And then Oregon,

00:41:57.800 I don't know what to say

00:41:58.740 about Oregon.

00:41:59.440 If you have a team

00:42:00.780 like that

00:42:01.220 that's the better team

00:42:02.480 and in an advantageous

00:42:04.720 spot like that

00:42:05.440 and they still

00:42:06.080 just completely

00:42:06.820 shit the bed,

00:42:07.880 I mean,

00:42:08.140 they might be

00:42:08.520 an unbettable team

00:42:09.600 from here on out.

00:42:10.620 I don't know what

00:42:11.120 to tell you about that.

00:42:13.780 So,

00:42:14.420 all right,

00:42:14.800 we got a bunch

00:42:15.460 to discuss here.

00:42:16.780 Let's get into it,

00:42:17.820 I guess.

00:42:19.100 College basketball

00:42:20.000 have one play

00:42:21.160 on the college basketball

00:42:22.220 slate today.

00:42:23.900 It's not a very

00:42:25.420 enticing card.

00:42:26.480 I mean,

00:42:26.600 we have an ACC game

00:42:28.080 up first on the slate

00:42:29.160 which is Virginia

00:42:30.040 at Pittsburgh

00:42:30.780 but Virginia,

00:42:32.520 I mean,

00:42:32.760 they're way down

00:42:33.640 this year

00:42:34.140 but Pittsburgh

00:42:35.500 may not be

00:42:36.520 in the greatest spot.

00:42:37.980 I mean,

00:42:38.200 Pitt,

00:42:39.100 they'd beaten UNC

00:42:40.380 and I mentioned this

00:42:41.340 on Saturday

00:42:41.920 that after beating

00:42:42.880 North Carolina

00:42:43.820 I thought Pitt

00:42:44.380 was going to be

00:42:44.780 in kind of a letdown spot

00:42:46.000 having to go to Wake.

00:42:47.380 They didn't do well

00:42:48.220 against Wake.

00:42:48.820 They lost

00:42:49.440 which I think Pitt

00:42:50.400 was a favorite

00:42:51.060 in this game.

00:42:51.580 I don't even know

00:42:52.100 Wake was actually

00:42:52.780 the favorite

00:42:53.220 so Pitt actually

00:42:53.960 covered still

00:42:55.420 in this game

00:42:55.980 or they covered

00:42:56.500 like the

00:42:56.960 the closing number

00:42:58.920 at least.

00:42:59.700 Wake actually covered

00:43:00.620 some of the earlier

00:43:01.720 numbers it looks like.

00:43:03.200 Pitt's coming off

00:43:04.040 of that

00:43:04.520 but they do

00:43:04.940 North Carolina place.

00:43:30.180 I think that power

00:43:30.740 is going to be

00:43:31.000 where it

00:43:32.640 Something takes a part of me Something lost and never seen

00:43:48.400 Every time I start to believe Something's raped and taken from me

00:43:55.320 From me Life's always gotta be messing with me

00:43:59.640 You wanna see the light Can then chill and let me be free

00:44:04.200 So do I Can I take away all this pain

00:44:08.600 You wanna see the light I try to every night

00:44:12.000 All in vain In vain

00:44:15.960 Sometimes I cannot take this place Sometimes it's my life I can't taste

00:44:24.680 Sometimes I cannot feel my face You'll never see me fall from grace

00:44:34.240 Something takes a part of me You and I were meant to be

00:44:43.240 Cheap fuck for me to lay Something takes a part of me

00:44:51.800 Feeling like a freak on a leash You wanna see the light

00:44:56.520 Feeling like I have no release So do I

00:45:00.920 How many times have I felt disease You wanna see the light

00:45:29.040 Something takes a part of me You and I were meant to be

00:45:37.600 Cheap fuck for me to lay Something takes a part of me

00:46:28.720 A part of me

00:47:46.340 Ah.

00:47:47.360 All right.

00:47:47.720 He's so good.

00:47:48.260 I, I, I, he deserves the world.

00:47:51.480 He really does.

00:47:52.480 He does.

00:47:53.200 You guys don't deserve him.

00:47:54.480 All right.

00:47:54.680 Anyway.

00:47:54.840 Sorry.

00:47:55.300 They don't deserve him for sure.

00:47:57.100 For sure.

00:47:57.840 This was a, this was a revision upon a revision upon a revision.

00:48:00.880 This guy, sir, wrote snack from, it's a long email.

00:48:04.060 Well, are we going to let these poor people watch or what?

00:48:05.860 Cause we're at 42 minutes now.

00:48:08.540 Let them watch.

00:48:09.780 Okay.

00:48:10.400 Let the boy watch.

00:48:11.880 That's fine.

00:48:12.280 Let them watch.

00:48:13.260 All right.

00:48:13.520 Yeah.

00:48:13.840 Go on.

00:48:14.320 This is fucking pages.

00:48:16.040 Dog.

00:48:16.360 Yeah.

00:48:16.520 We're not going to get through this.

00:48:17.680 We're 40 minutes and was toe just wasted another three.

00:48:21.100 So I don't see how we could read all these within the timeframe.

00:48:25.240 It was, it was incredible.

00:48:27.460 All right.

00:48:27.640 I just didn't know that that was how you pronounced any of that.

00:48:31.060 Like I had no idea.

00:48:34.840 Like he knows the words.

00:48:36.080 I didn't know they were words.

00:48:37.460 They're scat words.

00:48:38.220 And he knows all of them.

00:48:39.500 He does a lot of scat play.

00:48:40.920 Yeah.

00:48:41.180 He knows his scat.

00:48:42.540 So he says, sorry for the revisions.

00:48:44.360 This was a revision upon a revision or because it wasn't long enough the first time said, I

00:48:48.060 wanted to get this right and I keep finding typos because there is portions of this where

00:48:52.840 it used to be voice and text and it didn't pick up.

00:48:54.820 You know what?

00:48:55.180 I'm going to skip that part.

00:48:56.220 Yeah.

00:48:56.520 He starts the email, says, howdy, my retards in Christ.

00:49:00.280 Well, howdy, partner.

00:49:01.420 Howdy.

00:49:02.640 Not sure if you're reading this before the show.

00:49:05.040 No.

00:49:05.700 Or just straight to live.

00:49:07.120 Yeah.

00:49:07.480 We run it live.

00:49:09.320 But I hope you're prepared to dedicate an entire episode of NDS Chronicles to this.

00:49:13.300 We're not.

00:49:13.600 Fucking guess so, baby.

00:49:15.160 Yeah.

00:49:15.520 I guess we're going to dedicate the rest of this one.

00:49:19.040 He says, my name is Tom Sirotnack, phonetically Sirat, Siratnick.

00:49:24.640 OK, that's cool.

00:49:25.820 Siratnick.

00:49:26.700 Doxed, motherfucker.

00:49:28.200 Longtime listener, first time emailer.

00:49:30.380 Well, welcome.

00:49:31.320 And guys, if you want to email us, you can go ahead and email us at NephilimDSquad at

00:49:38.200 gmail.com.

00:49:39.580 Or you can just go ahead and scan that QR code in the bottom there if you're retarded.

00:49:45.320 The D stands for details.

00:49:46.720 Please make it as detailed as possible.

00:49:48.080 It stands for docs, Siratnick.

00:49:49.640 It stands for docs, baby.

00:49:51.440 Yes.

00:49:52.720 So going back to when you guys.

00:49:55.520 Oh, so he's a fan since when we crashed Elijah Schaefer's podcast with Tower Gang.

00:49:59.620 I don't even.

00:50:00.040 Were you there for that?

00:50:01.700 Well.

00:50:02.700 One of them?

00:50:03.060 Yeah, yeah, I was actually.

00:50:04.020 I was.

00:50:04.840 Oh, wow.

00:50:05.400 That's a.

00:50:05.920 Yeah.

00:50:06.060 So that's like David just popped on the scene at that point.

00:50:09.180 And yeah, no, the first time I was on Tower Gang.

00:50:13.920 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:50:14.400 That's right.

00:50:15.320 I somehow like Elijah hit me up and he was like, hey, we'd love to talk to you about some

00:50:19.600 spicy take you had.

00:50:20.580 And I thought he thought that we were going to have a conversation about politics.

00:50:23.960 And I just told him straight up.

00:50:25.240 I'm like, I'm not going to come on your show unless the homies could come on.

00:50:28.980 And he was like, whoa, well, how many of them are there?

00:50:31.460 I was like five.

00:50:33.060 Like, he was like, what?

00:50:34.500 Actually, yeah, it's like, actually, there's a lot of them.

00:50:36.680 And he's like, he was cool enough to let us on.

00:50:38.460 So like, that's how our relationship began.

00:50:40.340 And now we can't do a serious show when we hang out with the.

00:50:43.140 Yeah, I've noticed that every time we show up, we're like, what are we going to talk with

00:50:46.640 Elijah about?

00:50:47.440 And we're like, well, we could talk about these psychological operations that are running

00:50:50.180 rampant right now.

00:50:50.900 We get there.

00:50:51.460 And it's like, what about the blacks?

00:50:53.180 Yeah.

00:50:53.480 And he's just like pouring drinks and doing gay stuff.

00:50:55.800 All right.

00:50:56.440 Here we go.

00:50:57.440 That was my favorite.

00:50:58.820 My first time you guys got on my radar.

00:51:00.640 I loved it immediately.

00:51:01.960 Reminded of my homies.

00:51:03.060 Back in the day.

00:51:03.880 Yep.

00:51:04.700 I've been wanting to talk to you guys for quite a while.

00:51:07.340 And I've been wanting to start my own podcast.

00:51:09.420 You should do it.

00:51:10.720 Yeah.

00:51:11.080 And you guys have really inspired me to get started.

00:51:13.560 Well, what the fuck are you waiting for?

00:51:15.300 You wrote this email on the 19th of January.

00:51:17.960 And it is the 3rd of February.

00:51:21.120 Well, Top, it's 23 pages.

00:51:22.920 He's been doing this for a long time.

00:51:24.320 He's like, yeah, I was going to start a show.

00:51:26.200 You should be at least five to 10 episodes in already, dog.

00:51:28.720 What are we doing here?

00:51:29.540 Come on.

00:51:30.060 It's the name of the show.

00:51:31.880 He says, God's hand has been on my life since I was a kid, directing me towards spiritual warfare, which has become very normal for me.

00:51:38.260 I've had powerful spiritual experiences throughout what I would consider my pretty normal life, sporadically going back to my semi-famous parents, which is why there are pictures in this.

00:51:49.860 Oh, we get to look at his parents?

00:51:51.940 Yeah.

00:51:52.360 I mean, he sent pictures of it.

00:51:54.180 So I assume that we can.

00:51:56.520 Damn, we're doxing this motherfucker to the nth degree.

00:51:58.980 No, his dad's famous.

00:52:00.840 Yeah.

00:52:01.560 Pretty famous.

00:52:02.280 So I'll show the pictures of the dad in a second.

00:52:05.360 Okay.

00:52:06.920 I'm not entirely sure where to start.

00:52:08.800 I guess I'll break down a couple of more interesting stories I grew up with from my parents that instilled a lot of knowledge in me that most people were not blessed to be born with growing up and my personal experiences.

00:52:18.680 Heck, if you guys like what I have to say, I'm even willing to come on your show.

00:52:22.360 Nice try.

00:52:23.860 Nice.

00:52:24.180 I like the way he packaged it, though.

00:52:25.900 He's like, hey, if you like this, maybe I'll even throw you a bone, baby.

00:52:29.760 Yeah, maybe I'll go on your show.

00:52:31.140 All right, maybe.

00:52:31.980 We'll typically do that sort of thing.

00:52:33.680 But if you want it, maybe I'll do it.

00:52:36.320 After the shit we did here today, I don't know why anyone would want to come on the show.

00:52:40.360 Like we just played Toad for three minutes.

00:52:42.700 I mean, yeah.

00:52:43.920 And the viewer count went up.

00:52:45.160 You guys are masochists.

00:52:46.680 Well, I kind of get it, though.

00:52:47.740 It's a banger of a song.

00:52:48.920 I get it.

00:52:49.420 Yeah, he's a gem.

00:52:50.580 All right.

00:52:52.940 What is he saying here?

00:52:54.540 Over.

00:52:55.380 If I can get this microphone my wife bought me to work last year.

00:52:58.440 He'll tell the stories on air if we'd have them.

00:53:00.860 So, OK.

00:53:01.760 I have basically no plugs besides a relatively inactive Twitter profile and no experience

00:53:05.600 with podcasting.

00:53:06.420 Perfect.

00:53:07.220 Which I've considered establishing before I reached out.

00:53:11.440 But who has time to wait for all that?

00:53:13.580 OK, I kind of like this guy's style.

00:53:15.540 He's just like, yeah.

00:53:17.540 A lot of that is like a lot of people like, well, I'm going to start a podcast.

00:53:20.700 I'm going to do this and this and this first.

00:53:22.200 And it's like, just fucking do something.

00:53:24.280 Just start going.

00:53:24.940 Yeah.

00:53:25.120 I'm a big advocate in just start moving.

00:53:28.440 Yeah, yeah.

00:53:30.000 Never promised that, Leon.

00:53:31.780 But we'll continue.

00:53:33.520 I think I can point you some things to look into to reaffirm your faith.

00:53:38.520 And those in the audience's faith in Christ with my testimonies.

00:53:41.380 All right.

00:53:41.660 Let's get to it.

00:53:42.700 Let's do it.

00:53:43.860 Damn it.

00:53:44.360 You long-winded Siratnak.

00:53:47.540 That's right.

00:53:48.240 Growing up, I was raised by some larger-than-life individuals.

00:53:52.100 My father, Tom Siratnak Sr. was regularly on TV preaching the gospel, even confronting

00:53:59.800 that Jew Bill Maher on Politically Incorrect, Maher's old 90s TV show.

00:54:04.540 Yeah, I remember that show.

00:54:05.360 He was a founding member of the legendary Christian strongman group, The Power Team.

00:54:11.540 So this is just like a strongman as well.

00:54:13.860 That's kind of cool.

00:54:14.720 Oh, does he mean like actual lifting?

00:54:16.260 That's cool.

00:54:16.940 Damn.

00:54:17.460 Was this just like buff dudes for Christ?

00:54:20.840 Actually, yeah.

00:54:21.900 Look at this.

00:54:22.660 So I guess we could take a look.

00:54:24.240 So that's his dad.

00:54:25.820 Oh, he's that boy thick.

00:54:27.740 Dad's thick.

00:54:27.820 Looks like he's doing some power lifting here.

00:54:29.680 Oh, this is a YouTube video.

00:54:31.020 Let's check it out.

00:54:34.780 This is going to be...

00:54:35.340 Ready, guys?

00:54:36.780 Five two-by-fours.

00:54:39.240 Oh, boy.

00:54:40.240 Well, that's not that heavy.

00:54:40.940 Guys, you need to back up clear to the edge.

00:54:42.660 I know he's going to break it.

00:54:44.020 Tom Siratnak's going to have to run full speed.

00:54:47.500 What?

00:54:47.800 He's going to run into it?

00:54:48.680 Dude, those two-by-fours are the wrong way.

00:54:50.400 He tried this one at a time, and he did not break them.

00:54:53.460 Dog, this is what...

00:54:54.240 He was knocked back 30 feet in the air.

00:54:55.500 Bro, bring back this.

00:54:56.540 And he broke his nose.

00:54:57.380 Blood completely covered his face.

00:54:58.920 This is what Christianity.

00:54:59.200 This is what church needs.

00:55:00.020 He told me not to worry.

00:55:00.900 Oh, this is doing this for the Lord, dude?

00:55:03.020 Yeah.

00:55:04.040 It's breaking sticks for the Lord.

00:55:05.060 He's going to make it number 10.

00:55:05.820 Let's go.

00:55:08.200 Everybody say what's going through.

00:55:09.280 Is he going to try to just run through it?

00:55:10.400 That's crazy.

00:55:11.580 Guys, you've got to have speed to break these.

00:55:14.060 What if he just shows his dad just spins?

00:55:16.240 He's like, this is where he became a paraplegal.

00:55:20.360 His dad's a unit.

00:55:21.360 Look at his dad.

00:55:22.460 Yo, they're all big dudes.

00:55:23.680 What I love about it, too, is this like...

00:55:25.760 Oh, wait, wait.

00:55:26.260 Hold on.

00:55:26.580 Hold on, top.

00:55:27.180 It's all free.

00:55:27.640 I want one of those jackets.

00:55:29.500 You heard?

00:55:30.900 What happened?

00:55:31.740 It's freezing up.

00:55:32.540 We can't see it.

00:55:33.840 Oh, no.

00:55:34.860 It's because you got dick-ass internet over there.

00:55:37.140 I could bring it up, though.

00:55:38.960 Yeah, yeah.

00:55:39.400 You should be sorry.

00:55:40.020 Hold on.

00:55:41.260 Where can I find these things?

00:55:42.300 You know what?

00:55:42.780 I'm going to try it again.

00:55:43.900 We'll try to play it again.

00:55:44.780 Fine.

00:55:45.020 Do it again.

00:55:45.440 Whatever.

00:55:46.420 No.

00:55:46.780 Is it frozen?

00:55:47.120 Oh, dude.

00:55:47.300 Yeah, he's about to take off.

00:55:48.220 Thank God I said it.

00:55:49.140 Look at him.

00:55:51.020 Dude, that shoulder to shoulder, that man is wide.

00:55:55.040 A thick boy.

00:55:56.280 That boy is wide.

00:55:58.280 All right.

00:55:58.680 Here we go.

00:55:59.780 Come on.

00:56:00.160 Do it.

00:56:00.580 Do it.

00:56:02.540 It's doing glitchy stuff, baby.

00:56:05.860 What happened?

00:56:06.460 He gave up?

00:56:07.500 He hit it.

00:56:08.340 Couldn't break it.

00:56:09.720 Damn.

00:56:10.680 See him do it again.

00:56:11.360 He's got to ask the Lord.

00:56:12.260 I think he was just screwing around.

00:56:15.680 Okay.

00:56:16.120 All right.

00:56:16.560 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:56:17.200 This is getting bad because it's all choppy.

00:56:19.180 I don't even know what's going on.

00:56:21.880 Can you see it?

00:56:23.080 No, I see him.

00:56:24.040 He's fucking, he's doing the fucking, the robot.

00:56:26.460 Oh, he broke him.

00:56:27.480 Oh, shit.

00:56:28.220 Oh, my God.

00:56:29.600 He broke him.

00:56:30.800 He did break him.

00:56:31.660 I think that last one didn't break.

00:56:32.960 Yo, he got up quick.

00:56:34.840 Oh, damn.

00:56:35.860 This is badass.

00:56:36.860 I like this, though.

00:56:38.200 Okay.

00:56:38.600 This is cool.

00:56:39.060 I feel like I really enjoy this guy that we're talking to now because I respect his

00:56:42.200 father.

00:56:42.980 Yeah.

00:56:43.280 I don't really care about this guy.

00:56:44.540 Your father, though.

00:56:45.800 Well, how many two by fours has he ran through?

00:56:48.340 How many?

00:56:48.840 I have not ran through any personally.

00:56:51.620 So that's true.

00:56:52.840 Fucking cool.

00:56:53.400 All right.

00:56:54.720 Okay.

00:56:55.220 So, yes, the power team.

00:56:56.740 I got to get one of those windbreakers.

00:56:58.740 They're pretty famous back then.

00:57:00.040 Seldom remember today.

00:57:01.260 Yeah.

00:57:01.480 I could imagine why.

00:57:02.920 Yeah.

00:57:03.340 They do crazy strongman acts.

00:57:04.540 Because the culture has become gay now.

00:57:05.440 That's why.

00:57:06.440 Yeah.

00:57:06.720 So, they were doing strongman acts with Christian messages tied throughout their

00:57:12.080 feats of strength to symbolize different messages who inspire and compel people to come to Jesus

00:57:17.140 Christ.

00:57:17.960 Nice.

00:57:18.160 It was entertaining.

00:57:19.200 Led hundreds of thousands, if not millions, to believe in Jesus Christ.

00:57:22.880 Stuff like snapping out of Smith & Wesson police-grade handcuffs.

00:57:28.120 Damn.

00:57:29.360 Snapping baseball bats over their knees, bending steel bars, ripping phone books in half, lighting

00:57:34.440 stacks of bricks on fire.

00:57:36.300 That's dope.

00:57:37.520 Bro, that is dope.

00:57:37.680 And breaking it with their forearm or forehead.

00:57:40.800 Damn.

00:57:41.640 Take a moment.

00:57:42.780 Imagine that a bunch of what would appear to be roided out gorillas of men destroying shit

00:57:47.560 and lighting it on fire, compelling youth to stop doing drugs, quit being suicidal bitches,

00:57:54.520 and quit being loser wannabe gangbangers, and find Jesus Christ in the middle of their

00:57:58.800 school gymnasiums in some of the worst inner city schools in the country.

00:58:03.280 It was madness.

00:58:04.720 That is legendary shit.

00:58:07.040 That is the coolest shit I have ever heard.

00:58:09.700 What's cool about it is that it sounds like fun.

00:58:12.600 It does sound like fun.

00:58:13.400 You're having fun.

00:58:14.400 And it's also, I love that message.

00:58:15.620 Like, hey, quit being a bitch.

00:58:17.380 Quit being a pussy gang member and start being buff for the Lord.

00:58:20.620 That is incredible, bro.

00:58:22.820 Incredible.

00:58:23.420 Oh, you think gangbanging is cool?

00:58:25.020 You ever try lifting a lot of weight for Jesus Christ?

00:58:28.360 Oh, my God.

00:58:30.140 Everybody say we're going through.

00:58:33.500 Everybody say we're going through.

00:58:35.780 The hair alone, dude, it's.

00:59:44.040 We've been blessed with incredible content.

00:59:46.460 Dude, I like this guy.

00:59:47.380 I want to be his friend.

00:59:48.040 This is fucking cool.

00:59:48.920 All right.

00:59:49.220 All right.

00:59:49.420 Yeah, Tom.

00:59:50.040 We're friends, Tom.

00:59:51.480 Okay.

00:59:51.620 We're friends now, Tom.

00:59:52.540 I'm sure his dad would not like us, but he likes your dad.

00:59:57.260 Mostly because we're fucking thin-necked.

00:59:59.900 Yeah.

01:00:00.160 His dad's like, what are these guys, podcasts?

01:00:02.460 How many two-by-fours have they ever ran through?

01:00:07.480 These guys ever ran through a fucking two-by-four in their life.

01:00:09.980 It's kind of funny, too.

01:00:13.800 The first thing I want to do is be like, you came to Jesus Christ through a weird strongman,

01:00:20.900 like a guy blasted his brick.

01:00:23.480 Yeah, he blasted his head through a brick that was on fire, and that's how you discovered Jesus.

01:00:28.620 It's like kind of retarded, but I mean, listen.

01:00:31.920 But also, I get it.

01:00:33.540 I get it.

01:00:34.440 I get it.

01:00:35.480 And it's like, you're not taking these paths anymore.

01:00:39.320 This is entertainment.

01:00:40.300 This is fun.

01:00:41.220 It's also culture.

01:00:43.180 At the time, it was taken a little bit more seriously as culture because that was like the American gladiator kind of culture.

01:00:51.080 That's what I was going to say.

01:00:51.660 Yeah, which was a fun show.

01:00:54.140 It was a fun competition.

01:00:55.340 I'd like to see more of that type of shit again, championing.

01:00:59.740 I guess we still do, but I don't know.

01:01:02.720 It feels like the strongman phase has really died out.

01:01:06.260 We had like Arnold and everything, and that was like huge.

01:01:10.000 I had an idea.

01:01:11.420 I had an idea today because, again, we've been watching Breaking Bad and looking at like all the old cars that they drive.

01:01:17.600 Not like the old classic ones, but like cars from the 90s, 2000s.

01:01:21.720 That's what was on the road at the time, and I was like, these cars are fucking nice.

01:01:25.860 Yeah, they are.

01:01:26.220 The one that Walter White drives, he drives an Aztec, and it looks like every other car on the road right now.

01:01:31.240 It was like a newer, and I look at it, and I just go, fuck that car.

01:01:35.220 Yeah.

01:01:35.380 Like I want the, you know, what's his name?

01:01:38.500 Gus Fring is driving like some kind of a weird Pontiac, and I'm like, I want that Pontiac station wagon.

01:01:44.960 It's just nice shape.

01:01:46.000 I used to have a 96 Buick Century, and that was before Buicks became like rounder edges, and it was back when they were still boxier edges, right?

01:01:55.800 So everything was like squared, 90-degree angles, and it had bench seating in the front seat.

01:02:00.940 You could lift up the arm, and it was like a, you know, and that car like to me was, I loved that thing.

01:02:06.180 And my wife couldn't figure out why I loved it, and I was like, I don't know.

01:02:08.580 It's just like, it feels classic, but it was a 96.

01:02:10.720 It wasn't that old when I had it.

01:02:12.280 You know, I had it back in 2013, 2014, or something like that.

01:02:17.760 And, but now when I see those things on the road, if they're kept in good shape, I love it.

01:02:21.840 Yeah, well, I mean, Elon Musk is making the car that looks like every other car, but it's like every other car melted into the same thing, what you'd get, the average of it.

01:02:32.220 I think if Toyota took him, they were like, we're just going to re-release the 1995 Camry, but with, you know, Bluetooth and like the speakers and all the shit, like all the electronics that we've come, because they're very useful.

01:02:45.740 Like a TV screen in it, dude, I would, it would, it would go bonkers, like just re-release the style of old cars with updated, you know, updated engines, updated shit inside of it.

01:02:58.380 People would love it.

01:02:59.480 I'm trying to find it.

01:03:01.500 Damn, is it Hyundai?

01:03:02.380 It is Hyundai.

01:03:03.360 So check this out, bro.

01:03:05.080 This is, this is actually beautiful.

01:03:06.720 Let me open this up in a new tab real quick.

01:03:09.360 This is an electric car that's coming out, and this is by Hyundai.

01:03:12.260 Hyundai, and, and honestly, I, I, I think it's, it's beautiful.

01:03:16.420 Here, boom, check this out, and we'll bring, look at that.

01:03:20.360 Oh, yeah, look at that.

01:03:21.280 That's what I'm talking about.

01:03:22.260 Like this, yeah, this is, it's just nice.

01:03:25.020 It is nice.

01:03:25.800 It is nice.

01:03:26.340 I love that vibe.

01:03:27.280 I love everything about it.

01:03:27.960 I love the rims and how simple it is.

01:03:29.680 I, I just, really nice.

01:03:31.520 I'm, I'm ready for that to make a comeback.

01:03:33.520 I want that with like, uh, just red leather in it.

01:03:38.480 Yeah, yeah, like dark, like burgundy.

01:03:41.060 Burgundy leather.

01:03:41.320 But cheap leather.

01:03:42.260 Cheap, cheap, though.

01:03:43.160 Yeah, it can be cheap.

01:03:43.600 That's fine.

01:03:44.240 Yeah.

01:03:44.940 That's what I want to drive in every day.

01:03:46.740 I love that thing.

01:03:47.620 I, I, I would get that.

01:03:48.740 I would get that.

01:03:49.360 Because I don't really care about the electric versus gas shit.

01:03:51.340 I just want something that fucking looks cool.

01:03:53.380 All right, let's get back into, uh, Saran, Saratnak.

01:03:57.160 Saratnak.

01:03:57.400 It was, it was madness.

01:03:58.680 Glorious madness.

01:03:59.340 And yes, as someone who helped gather the materials with my dad and helped set the stage

01:04:03.740 for him on many occasions, I'll confirm it was 100% real.

01:04:06.400 Yeah, no, that's real wood.

01:04:07.660 He didn't run through it.

01:04:08.540 And your dad's like probably 260, 270, it looked like.

01:04:11.200 He probably broke his sternum.

01:04:12.520 But did you see the whole platform that they were on?

01:04:14.880 So that, that stage they were standing on was riddled with broken lumber and center

01:04:20.580 blocks.

01:04:21.260 Yeah, no, they had been doing that shit for a minute.

01:04:24.640 Yeah, yeah.

01:04:25.640 Look at it.

01:04:26.480 Look at it, dude.

01:04:27.340 They have been, they've been smashing shit for the Lord for fucking six hours at that

01:04:31.620 point.

01:04:32.620 It's like, hey, no wonder he couldn't run through the two by fours on the first go.

01:04:35.860 The guy was winded by this time.

01:04:37.600 Look at that.

01:04:37.980 People still in the seats too, man.

01:04:39.660 This is.

01:04:39.980 They're not going anywhere, bro.

01:04:41.140 They're grip.

01:04:42.200 It's, it's exactly what they say.

01:04:44.240 Like, this is what they make fun of America for, but this is what America is.

01:04:48.200 Look at it.

01:04:48.700 It's even more impressive when you consider that the two by fours back then were stronger

01:04:53.220 than the crap we got.

01:04:54.220 Now they're running through actual, like there's deep grain running through.

01:04:57.620 There's a lot of rings on that tree that they're running through.

01:05:00.440 Yeah, dog.

01:05:00.920 And he ran through probably like three out of the five, broke them.

01:05:04.900 Then the other one's bent.

01:05:05.720 I mean, dude, that's a, that's impressive.

01:05:08.100 It's retarded and impressive.

01:05:09.900 Um, yeah, we need to get back.

01:05:11.060 We need to make America great again.

01:05:12.280 And when I say that, that's what, this is what I mean.

01:05:14.220 Can we start doing, uh, gear and to get like super juicy for the Lord and start lifting

01:05:18.900 stuff?

01:05:19.760 Yeah.

01:05:20.400 You're lifting for the Lord.

01:05:21.620 Lifting for the Lord, baby.

01:05:24.200 There he goes.

01:05:24.940 Uh, he also wrote books on being a warrior for Jesus Christ and what it means to be a real

01:05:28.820 man, much to Andrew Tate's dismay to be sure.

01:05:31.720 Uh, they're titled warriors and the second one is titled ultimate warriors.

01:05:37.100 Where'd you get that name from?

01:05:38.900 That was my favorite fucking wrestler when I was a kid, dude.

01:05:41.460 Yeah.

01:05:41.640 He's the man, uh, to sum up, uh, to sum up the truth in those books.

01:05:45.680 My father broke it down to one phrase he took from his mentor, Ed, uh, Dr. Edwin Lewis Cole,

01:05:50.860 an international Christian men's leadership legend in the eighties and nineties.

01:05:55.400 Uh, the quote is Christ likeness and manhood are synonymous.

01:05:59.280 I like that.

01:06:00.280 Uh, yeah, they're one.

01:06:01.820 Isn't that interesting?

01:06:02.460 Because right now we are, we're in a, a war against masculinity, you know, in very many

01:06:08.740 ways since, uh, since the, the height of, of humanity in the nineties, uh, we are now,

01:06:14.500 we're now on this big downswing.

01:06:15.980 And I think it's interesting that not only are we probably further from God spiritually

01:06:20.820 than we've ever been in the West, but also we're, we're, we're calling masculinity toxic.

01:06:25.880 And it's like, dude, there's nothing toxic about a wide man running through two by fours

01:06:30.620 on a stage for the Lord.

01:06:32.160 There's nothing toxic about that.

01:06:33.620 That man doesn't know toxicity.

01:06:35.280 He runs like a well-oiled machine.

01:06:37.000 So the fact that you're calling him toxic is on its face laughable.

01:06:40.560 He's like, that's, that's, you know, the height of, uh, of, of, you know, uh, what would

01:06:45.480 you call it?

01:06:46.580 Human anatomy right there.

01:06:48.140 That dude was like from shoulder to shoulder.

01:06:50.340 He was like four feet wide.

01:06:51.500 I'm pretty sure he was, he was literally built for that and he did it.

01:06:55.640 Yeah.

01:06:55.840 God made him to run through expensive lumber, like quality lumber.

01:07:00.400 Hold on.

01:07:00.920 We got his book here.

01:07:02.620 Here it is.

01:07:03.580 Ultimate warriors there to shake, uh, your world for Christ in 1996.

01:07:08.360 It's just a better time.

01:07:09.800 Look at that five star rating, baby.

01:07:11.640 96.

01:07:12.280 Yeah.

01:07:12.440 96 was a great time.

01:07:14.100 Okay.

01:07:14.260 It's, it's got one rating that explains the five stars, but still dude.

01:07:18.000 It's okay.

01:07:18.580 Oh, okay.

01:07:19.940 You know what?

01:07:20.420 No, I don't know if it's his son.

01:07:21.780 I want this more than I want, like, you know, like, okay, Jordan Peterson is going

01:07:25.520 to teach you how to be a man, but then you look at him and he's very weak wristed and

01:07:28.280 he cries a lot.

01:07:29.600 Um, this is who I want to teach me how to be a man.

01:07:32.140 If you, if you can smash center blocks, uh, with your forehead and you could run through

01:07:35.940 two by fours, I go, okay, you can teach me stuff.

01:07:38.240 But he's also in 96, he's, he's talking about, uh, Christ, like Christ likeness and manhood

01:07:43.780 being synonymous.

01:07:45.060 And it's, it's a direct refutation of what these people are talking about now.

01:07:48.580 Like the, the ones that hate, I love that meme where they're like, oh, well, Jesus would

01:07:52.720 have said to be kind and accepting.

01:07:54.580 And you were like, wow, you sound like a Christian.

01:07:56.220 And they're like, no, I hate Jesus.

01:07:57.540 That these people, right?

01:07:58.940 He would have, he would have broke.

01:08:00.440 He would have ran through these people.

01:08:02.160 Jesus Christ would have ran through fucking five two by fours.

01:08:07.780 If he knew that you were selling goods and wares in the temple, he would have ran through

01:08:11.600 five two by fours to flip your table.

01:08:13.860 Do you see how much this angers me?

01:08:15.740 I love, I just love it.

01:08:16.780 That's why I want, like, I know we're not supposed to pick our own Jesus, but I want my

01:08:19.840 Jesus to come out to pyrotechnics.

01:08:21.340 Like when we, when we call him, he like steps out to music and there's, you know, uh, flares

01:08:26.240 or whatever, uh, uh, fireworks going off.

01:08:28.780 That's what I want.

01:08:29.320 I want it to be, you ever see Korean Jesus?

01:08:32.280 No.

01:08:34.840 All right, we'll check out Korean Jesus.

01:08:37.280 I don't know if this is real.

01:08:38.800 This actually might not be true, but I think Tom was like, if he had brothers, they're like,

01:08:42.940 how mad is dad?

01:08:43.740 Dad is mad today.

01:08:44.520 Like how mad?

01:08:45.020 Like I, one, one stick or five.

01:08:47.580 Yeah.

01:08:47.920 How many two by fours is dad mad?

01:08:49.520 Hold on a second.

01:08:50.140 Korean Jesus.

01:08:51.120 Did you find it?

01:08:52.360 No, no.

01:08:52.920 I didn't look for this.

01:08:53.360 Okay.

01:08:53.620 Okay.

01:08:53.880 Okay.

01:08:54.900 Uh, images.

01:08:56.240 Okay.

01:08:59.180 This can't be real.

01:09:00.660 I can't hold on a second.

01:09:02.320 Uh, uh, open window and new tab.

01:09:04.380 Okay, good.

01:09:05.260 Um, okay.

01:09:06.120 Share this instead.

01:09:06.940 Are you, do you have this?

01:09:08.240 Yeah.

01:09:08.700 It's really small though.

01:09:10.520 Is it better now?

01:09:11.580 Oh, wow.

01:09:12.060 He's jacked.

01:09:13.000 He's ripped.

01:09:13.420 Yeah, that's right, dude.

01:09:14.360 That's, that's, that's Jesus.

01:09:16.500 That's Jesus to Koreans.

01:09:18.240 Maybe it's just because they're such small people.

01:09:20.980 Hell yeah.

01:09:21.820 I like, I like it.

01:09:22.640 Jesus looked huge.

01:09:23.340 Yeah.

01:09:23.540 I like this Jesus.

01:09:24.380 This is good, but I'm not saying that that's what Jesus looked like.

01:09:26.220 All right, guys.

01:09:27.200 All right.

01:09:27.680 Let's, uh, let's continue here.

01:09:29.240 Um, he goes, uh, uh, they're one in the same.

01:09:32.640 If you want to be a real man, seek to become like Jesus Christ.

01:09:35.140 You'll never be perfect, but you'll become a better man through his emulation.

01:09:38.980 Uh, just a few of my dad's achievements of which there is much more.

01:09:42.420 I believe I'll attach two videos.

01:09:44.080 One's a short five minute video my sister made about his life, uh, which she won an award

01:09:47.960 for at an art festival for sports.

01:09:50.340 Um, the other is a iconic moment.

01:09:53.080 This is the one that I just showed him running through, running through the wood.

01:09:56.960 It's a, it's about like, never give up a mentality and tenacity, uh, of the power team.

01:10:04.300 I, I, they could have used a little help naming it, but I, you know, I just like it.

01:10:08.160 I just like it.

01:10:08.920 I like, well, it's very nineties, right?

01:10:10.400 So a power Rangers power team.

01:10:12.420 Yeah.

01:10:12.940 Hi, I'm Darren Marlar host of the weird darkness podcast.

01:10:15.840 I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.

01:10:19.260 Spreaker is the all-in-one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute your

01:10:23.860 show everywhere from Apple podcasts to Spotify.

01:10:26.620 But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.

01:10:30.120 Spreaker offers dynamic ad insertion.

01:10:32.400 That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes, no editing required.

01:10:36.720 And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you and you

01:10:40.300 get paid for every download.

01:10:41.740 This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.

01:10:44.640 Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can

01:10:49.120 pay for bonus content or early access, adding another revenue stream to what you're already

01:10:53.660 doing.

01:10:54.200 And the best part, Spreaker grows with you.

01:10:56.760 Whether you're just starting out or running a full-blown podcast network, Spreaker's powerful

01:11:01.080 tools scale effortlessly as your show grows.

01:11:04.220 So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it, check out Spreaker.com.

01:11:09.560 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R.com.

01:11:13.020 It's the personification of one of his favorite catchphrases.

01:11:16.980 Champions are not those who never fail.

01:11:19.180 They are those who never quit.

01:11:21.080 Nice.

01:11:22.120 My mom entered in and won several beauty scholarship pageants, including Miss Anaheim and Miss

01:11:27.480 California State.

01:11:29.240 She loved Jesus.

01:11:30.880 Both versions when they got married in their mid-20s.

01:11:33.920 Rare even in the 80s.

01:11:35.080 As they had a newspaper article written about them when they got married titled, Beauty

01:11:39.440 Marries the Beast or something like that.

01:11:42.160 Okay.

01:11:42.500 So this guy's from good stock.

01:11:44.300 This guy has great genetics, man.

01:11:46.060 What are you built like?

01:11:46.980 Are you five wide and running through two by fours or what, man?

01:11:50.380 Because it sounds like you came from, you're basically a Nephilim, right?

01:11:54.120 These are two fallen angels.

01:11:55.180 Send us a picture of you with your shirt off real quick and we'll win.

01:12:00.560 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:12:01.300 Also, mom being a dime.

01:12:02.940 That's crazy.

01:12:03.600 Who wins an award for being a dime?

01:12:05.640 That's crazy.

01:12:06.680 Miss Anaheim, California in the land of baddies?

01:12:12.020 Incredible.

01:12:13.860 That's crazy, man.

01:12:15.320 And let me tell you something.

01:12:16.440 Back in the 80s and 90s, that's how simple it was.

01:12:19.660 You want a beautiful girl with big blowout hair with Aquanet in it and it fucking is gigantic?

01:12:26.020 You want that?

01:12:27.200 All you got to do is just be juicy and on fire for the Lord.

01:12:30.220 And it was that simple.

01:12:31.060 Now it's very complicated.

01:12:32.380 It's very complicated to date.

01:12:34.100 I hear horror stories all the time.

01:12:35.460 You have a podcast.

01:12:36.120 It's a whole thing.

01:12:37.540 Yeah.

01:12:37.720 If you have a podcast, you're not dating anybody.

01:12:39.620 That's why you want to start a podcast after you get married.

01:12:44.120 That's actual good advice because you will not get any women if you have a podcast.

01:12:48.180 If you talk to a woman and you like her and you're at a bar and she goes, what do you do for a living?

01:12:52.780 And you go, I'm a podcaster.

01:12:54.920 It just doesn't work.

01:12:56.000 It just dries up.

01:12:57.240 You could hear things get dry.

01:13:00.040 Yeah.

01:13:00.740 Not good.

01:13:01.340 Content hole's not into it.

01:13:02.580 No, no, no.

01:13:03.920 They both had a promising ministry for many years, bringing many people to Christ, witnessing to people on campus,

01:13:09.360 and befriending many famous athletes, bringing many people to the Lord,

01:13:13.260 including befriending Christian L.A. Lakers basketball Hall of Famer Ironman A.C. Green.

01:13:18.740 Also cool name.

01:13:19.420 Ted DiBiase, the Million Dollar Man, Jake the Snake from WWE, and many more.

01:13:24.060 That's pretty cool.

01:13:25.200 Funny side story.

01:13:26.640 Wrestler Sting punched my dad in the chest once during a match.

01:13:29.980 My dad ate it saying, holy crap, this is real.

01:13:32.980 He wrestled Sting?

01:13:34.460 That's crazy.

01:13:35.880 Your dad is the coolest guy.

01:13:37.720 Can your dad be my dad?

01:13:40.180 Sting called him a faggot for getting in the way for trying to attack Ted.

01:13:43.860 Ted took my dad into the lockers to meet Sting, and he apologized once he found out that my dad was Ted's pastor.

01:13:51.300 Dude, Ted's pastor is buff and runs through two.

01:13:55.660 Oh, man.

01:13:56.300 Because he's wrestling him, I guess.

01:13:57.720 Yeah, he said, sorry I called you a faggot out there.

01:13:59.840 He didn't know he was a pastor.

01:14:01.120 This is incredible.

01:14:01.940 This dude is so cool.

01:14:03.060 This is, it's crazy because you just can't do this anymore in America.

01:14:06.860 He came along at the right time, and right now he'd be a YouTube influencer or some gay shit like that.

01:14:13.260 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:14:14.300 Well, look, I mean, we're like, this is the best you got.

01:14:17.200 You used to get buff dudes running through two, but you literally get us now.

01:14:20.920 Yeah, a couple of twinks.

01:14:21.800 How far we have fallen.

01:14:23.160 Yeah.

01:14:23.960 All right.

01:14:24.540 Susan, my dad was led to Christ himself by actor and NFL Hall of Famer, the same guy who caught Bobby Kennedy's assassin, Rosie Greer.

01:14:32.600 What the fuck is, what are you saying to me?

01:14:36.080 Please, I want him at the end of this 23 pages, I want him to go, and by the way, I made it all up.

01:14:41.600 I made it all up, and it was easy.

01:14:43.500 All fucking fake.

01:14:44.700 Yeah.

01:14:45.360 So he had a lifelong friendship with his dad from then on.

01:14:48.340 I've seen all of this my whole life.

01:14:50.840 Met dozens of celebrities and world star athletes, only to see how a Holy Spirit-filled church that witnesses active and regular miracles can be infiltrated by demonic forces and destroy.

01:15:02.600 And subvert good Christian people's entire destinies and callings.

01:15:07.120 If you're unwise and you let it happen instead of fighting back with spiritual warfare.

01:15:11.860 Hmm.

01:15:12.480 The name of the game from the enemy is divide and conquer.

01:15:15.180 They want you to get your eyes off the real enemy, the kingdom of darkness, and onto those who they use to hurt us.

01:15:23.100 And it always, it's always the closest ones that they'll use, but I digress.

01:15:28.520 Man, he's described, I mean, you could see how like, there's a problem with these mega churches where like they're great and you can build something really good.

01:15:37.300 But it's like, that's the Owen Benjamin thing.

01:15:39.080 You're building it at scale and things get so wild, so out of control, so fast.

01:15:42.840 I can only imagine the issues that you have to deal with in there.

01:15:46.920 And then at some point it doesn't even become about what you got into it for.

01:15:51.940 You know, it's a...

01:15:52.660 Well, that's what happens, right?

01:15:53.560 Once it gets so big, you don't have your hands on the controls anymore because there's just too many controls.

01:15:58.240 Yeah.

01:15:58.520 And you can't do it.

01:15:59.500 Next thing you know, you entrust one thing or another to another person.

01:16:02.200 But I want to just highlight 713 Rob here says, if you got to grow up in the 80s and 90s, you were blessed.

01:16:08.140 There will never be another time like that again.

01:16:10.140 And I know that a lot of people, you know, you can kind of explore whether or not you're biased because everybody thinks they grew up in the best time.

01:16:18.260 But I don't think that about the 2000s, like I was a teenager in the 2000s.

01:16:23.080 My most memorable times, not memorable, but wholesome events were like in the 90s because it was, I don't know.

01:16:30.820 I do think, when you ever hear people say like the sun was different back then, it used to be more yellow and now it's more white.

01:16:36.080 Like I remember just the lens that I look at my memories through.

01:16:39.840 It's like a golden kind of shimmer on all of my 90s antics.

01:16:45.140 And yeah, I don't think we're ever going to get anything like that back again.

01:16:48.140 That was the last...

01:16:48.760 Yesterday was a weird day where I was like, I went outside and for the first time in a long time, I was like, oh, you smell the air?

01:16:55.320 Like it felt like a good day.

01:16:57.280 Yeah.

01:16:57.460 Not just like, oh, it is nice outside, but I was like, oh, it feels like it feels nice outside.

01:17:01.880 In the 90s, it was like that all the time.

01:17:03.340 And there was also something about like the technology that...

01:17:06.460 Hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the Weird Darkness podcast.

01:17:10.020 I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.

01:18:03.760 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.

01:18:06.880 There was a lot of things happening that were unencumbered by technology.

01:18:12.020 And now there's no way around it.

01:18:14.200 You know what I see?

01:18:15.100 I see like one of the things that was a little disheartening is I was going to pick my son up from school the other day.

01:18:21.120 And either the high school or the middle school got out and they were walking as I was going to pick him up.

01:18:26.760 And I'm just looking at them and like every single kid just has their face buried in a phone.

01:18:32.620 I'm like, fuck, man.

01:18:33.980 Because there's something about when you don't know much about the world, you have this overwhelming feeling that adventure and mystery awaits you.

01:18:43.220 It's like a constant – that's really what it felt like in the 90s was constantly being immersed in mystery and discovery and adventure.

01:18:52.900 And now because of like phones, it's all kind of gone away.

01:18:55.640 Like I was watching something – I forgot what it was, but they were joking around about how these kids were trying to explore something.

01:19:07.060 And basically the adult said like, why would you do that?

01:19:09.280 And they showed a map.

01:19:10.360 And it's like it's all already been explored.

01:19:12.580 Oh, oh, I was watching the Truman Show for the first time yesterday.

01:19:16.600 And that's what it happened in.

01:19:18.380 So something about like wanting to explore and the teacher in the school was like, why would you do that?

01:19:22.800 And pulls down the map and she's like, everything's already been discovered.

01:19:26.920 That was not the feeling in the 90s.

01:19:29.100 The feeling in the 90s – I'm sure it had a lot to do with how old I was, but it just felt like there was so much to be discovered.

01:19:34.620 And now it's fucking done.

01:19:36.380 It feels like you've done all there is to do.

01:19:38.500 It's like what's behind that?

01:19:39.740 Like if I turn down that road, like we don't know.

01:19:42.660 Could be certain disaster.

01:19:43.980 Now you can just – like Google Maps has it.

01:19:46.020 You just take a look and you're like, oh, that's not really anything I want to go see.

01:19:49.400 And then you never go see it.

01:19:50.780 And it's a shame.

01:19:52.940 It is kind of a shame.

01:19:54.020 I mean, I don't know.

01:19:54.900 It helps things move along a little bit quicker and things go faster.

01:19:58.920 But, yeah, there is a lack.

01:20:00.940 It's lacking for sure.

01:20:02.920 Yannette is smart.

01:20:04.160 She gets it.

01:20:04.720 Very curious to see if we get through page one.

01:20:06.720 That's not what this show is about, Yannette.

01:20:08.180 We're on page three, Yannette.

01:20:09.920 Oh, how about that?

01:20:10.940 How about that?

01:20:11.300 We have 23.

01:20:12.800 23.

01:20:13.400 20 more to go.

01:20:14.220 Oh, thank you, Yannette, for reminding us why we're here.

01:20:16.160 I have to leave definitely by 4.30.

01:20:18.100 You're disgusting.

01:20:19.020 Oh, okay.

01:20:19.520 All right.

01:20:19.740 That's fine.

01:20:20.200 That's an hour.

01:20:20.800 That's a long time.

01:20:21.280 We can get through this in an hour.

01:20:24.220 All right.

01:20:25.020 They want you to get your eyes off the real enemy.

01:20:28.140 It's always the one closest to you, but I digress.

01:20:30.260 He says, I've seen every type of problem in a church to the point I can tell you immediately

01:20:35.160 what their strengths and weaknesses are just by attending a service or two.

01:20:39.480 And the real from the pretenders, the truth from the lies.

01:20:43.280 I wonder how you feel about me.

01:20:45.420 I would love to know, like, without caring about, not without caring, but without any

01:20:50.140 hard feelings, what you'd get from my mentality and what you've heard me say.

01:20:58.120 Because I often wonder, when I go into a church, I feel that way a little bit as well.

01:21:03.020 That I'm like, I could see what's wrong here.

01:21:04.920 But I'm like, perhaps I'm the one that's wrong here.

01:21:07.180 I don't know.

01:21:07.700 I'd like to have some third party view.

01:21:10.720 I feel the same way, though.

01:21:11.560 It's not like I have a history of going to the church.

01:21:15.400 But when I try to, I'm like, this just feels weird.

01:21:17.880 It all feels weird.

01:21:18.740 It feels off somehow.

01:21:19.760 Yeah, I don't feel, I don't belong when I go and I congregate with the people who are

01:21:26.700 in the church.

01:21:27.680 And I'm very perceptive to, you know, how they feel.

01:21:31.520 Like, I can tell when someone's kind of like blocking me out or like they're not sure or

01:21:36.140 they don't like how I'm moving.

01:21:38.400 So I like, I'm perceptive and I'm like, all right, I don't need to be here.

01:21:40.760 I'm an adult and I'll just move along.

01:21:42.680 I just wonder if it's me.

01:21:44.460 Am I being abrasive?

01:21:45.560 Probably.

01:21:46.500 Or is it, are they, are they closed off?

01:21:48.860 It doesn't, I don't know.

01:21:49.960 We'll see.

01:21:50.760 Dude, wait, wait.

01:21:51.400 I just want to say this was prime 1990s.

01:21:53.780 Hit lightning bugs with a wiffle bat to see how, well, what I used to love is when you

01:21:58.580 smack them and they stayed lit up.

01:22:00.140 You know, oh, that's so cool.

01:22:01.120 I would take them, I'd shake them and I'd throw them on the ground and then I'd smear them

01:22:05.480 on the concrete and leave the green light.

01:22:08.540 This is, I'm admitting to.

01:22:10.100 This is wholesome 90s.

01:22:11.560 Mass bug murder.

01:22:12.540 There's no more lightning bugs.

01:22:13.760 I haven't seen one long time.

01:22:15.520 Maybe they're, they were just in the North, but I hadn't seen one.

01:22:18.020 Dude, that's a great point.

01:22:18.900 I didn't see any last year at all.

01:22:21.120 I didn't see one in the North for a long time when I was in New York for a long time.

01:22:25.520 Like I saw them all the time when I was a kid.

01:22:27.700 This is true too.

01:22:28.440 There was a lot more bugs back then.

01:22:29.860 Not the case now.

01:22:30.860 Well, now there's a lot of bugs, but they're just fucking mosquitoes.

01:22:33.140 They're not like different types of bugs.

01:22:35.800 Genetically engineered mosquitoes with, with, uh, serial numbers on their abdomen.

01:22:38.880 Yeah.

01:22:39.780 All right.

01:22:40.020 So he goes, it's my God given gift discernment that I've been told that that's my gift as

01:22:43.900 well.

01:22:44.120 So perhaps we suffer from the same thing.

01:22:46.200 Uh, so, um, even since I was a little kid, for example, I was born in Southern California.

01:22:51.660 My parents drove through LA, uh, and around two or three years old, I looked at the city

01:22:57.000 from inside the car while going through it on the freeway.

01:23:00.360 And I saw this dark cloud over it and felt this oppressive heaviness.

01:23:03.860 And I told them something to the effect of, I don't like this place.

01:23:06.840 It's evil outside.

01:23:08.080 It makes me sad.

01:23:09.760 Uh, like they have no hope.

01:23:11.680 Not exactly a quote, I'm sure, but, uh, it was a long time ago.

01:23:14.660 And from what I remember, that's what I remember vividly.

01:23:16.940 My parents looked at each other with raised eyebrows and turned and told me for the first

01:23:21.320 time, I was blessed with the gift of discernment, which comes from God.

01:23:25.340 Uh, the term discernment they explained to me as is the, uh, the ability to accurately sense

01:23:30.920 the spirit of things.

01:23:32.680 I've been told the same thing.

01:23:35.140 So we are, uh, of the same cloth.

01:23:37.760 Although I feel like, uh, you know, over time, over time, my abilities have waned, but now

01:23:43.800 they're back up higher than ever for whatever reason.

01:23:46.360 You're back, baby.

01:23:47.180 So he goes, I'm gonna let you read that right after this, David, but he goes, now that I

01:23:50.440 told you a little of my background and hopefully a little sense of who I am and a brief introduction

01:23:55.120 to my parents, let's get into some of these paranormal stories, baby.

01:23:58.100 Okay.

01:23:58.380 So it looks like it's about to start now.

01:24:00.540 We're about to start.

01:24:01.820 We're about to start.

01:24:02.680 Guys, buckle up.

01:24:03.500 Uh, the show is about to commence, uh, commence, commence.

01:24:06.420 Hour 15 into the episode and we're about to start.

01:24:09.060 But before we do.

01:24:12.640 No, I'm fucking.

01:24:14.440 I was ready.

01:24:15.260 I was going to do it again.

01:24:16.060 I was going to do it again.

01:24:16.720 Do it again.

01:24:17.880 Three minute intermission really quickly.

01:24:20.440 All right.

01:24:20.780 Go ahead.

01:24:21.140 Go ahead.

01:24:22.120 All right.

01:24:22.640 Uh, this is story number one.

01:24:24.960 It says, uh, eyes roll in the back of the head.

01:24:30.880 Give me a second here.

01:24:31.700 I've got my, actually, you know what?

01:24:33.000 Before we do that, let me just do something real quick because I'm going to try to do something

01:24:36.160 and it's just not going to work.

01:24:38.360 Sorry.

01:24:38.620 I'll start here.

01:24:39.940 Eyes.

01:24:40.220 So the name of this.

01:25:36.580 Story here is eyes roll in the back of the head.

01:25:39.600 Oh, that's the name of the story.

01:25:41.120 Yeah, performed by my mother at the 1984 Olympics.

01:25:44.980 Okay, all right.

01:25:45.520 I got it.

01:25:45.860 I'm ready.

01:25:46.980 It says, my mom was a baton twirling parade champion.

01:25:50.300 Spirit fingers.

01:25:51.100 What?

01:25:51.520 Spirit fingers?

01:25:51.880 Oh, ball sack.

01:25:53.600 And they say, I'm sure this is all messed up.

01:25:55.560 Nope, it's frozen.

01:25:56.320 That's a really scary image of it to freeze on, of me.

01:25:58.920 There we go.

01:25:59.840 Okay.

01:26:02.940 My mom was a baton twirling parade champion.

01:26:05.640 She was invited with her troop to the Olympics.

01:26:08.540 And she heard this woman who was part of her troop talking about a situation the woman was in a few weeks before.

01:26:14.400 She apparently was in a room where she saw these people have this demonic experience.

01:26:18.620 These people, the woman saw, got stiff and straight as a board.

01:26:23.580 And their eyes rolled into the back of their heads.

01:26:26.540 Within a day, that same woman who told that story was in a tunnel with the troop.

01:26:30.840 And my mom saw her start to faint.

01:26:34.360 And this same woman started stiffening up straight as a board.

01:26:37.660 And her eyes rolled in the back of her head.

01:26:39.640 What the shit?

01:26:41.540 Falling against the wall and sliding down.

01:26:44.480 My mom started praying for her quietly in her ear.

01:26:48.920 Leave her in the name of Jesus.

01:26:51.160 And that woman said, what?

01:26:52.740 I can't hear you.

01:26:54.520 And kept saying that.

01:26:55.800 And my mom started praying in tongues in her ear.

01:26:59.900 And within minutes, she came out of this trance and had no memory of what happened.

01:27:04.240 And two years later, in 1986, that woman saw my mom again at a sorority where my mom was speaking.

01:27:11.260 And she reconnected with her, remembering my mom helped her.

01:27:14.500 Believing she had merely experience of fainting.

01:27:17.780 But my mom wrote her a letter informing her of what actually happened.

01:27:21.740 And compelled her to accept Jesus Christ.

01:27:24.200 I grew up hearing this story.

01:27:26.020 That's interesting.

01:27:29.140 Yeah, I mean, you know, it sounds like, on the surface, a stroke.

01:27:35.940 Except you typically can't pray somebody out of a stroke.

01:27:41.600 Or maybe you can.

01:27:42.280 I don't know.

01:27:42.940 But they typically don't respond back to you.

01:27:47.260 I can't hear you.

01:27:48.360 That's true.

01:27:49.540 That's very specific.

01:27:50.620 Right, right, right.

01:27:51.840 Man, that's interesting.

01:27:54.200 Okay, Hulk demon.

01:27:56.460 An exorcist performed by my father.

01:27:58.120 You know what's great about that?

01:27:59.060 Is it takes a strong man to remove a strong demon.

01:28:04.200 So there was a good pairing up there.

01:28:06.780 While my dad was a student at USC, he was asked to pray for a man.

01:28:10.380 The guy was scrawny.

01:28:12.320 And my father was a defensive lineman at USC football.

01:28:15.700 Which totally checks out.

01:28:17.520 Yeah, makes sense.

01:28:18.120 That explains the running through the two-by-fours.

01:28:20.540 Suddenly, mid-prayer, this guy is manifesting a demon that turns him a shade of pale green.

01:28:28.540 The rage takes over his face.

01:28:30.680 My dad swore that the guy, like, morphed.

01:28:32.940 And all of a sudden, this little guy picks up my 6'2 father off the ground by his shirt collar.

01:28:39.240 And throws him down his apartment stairs.

01:28:41.200 My dad picks himself up, went back to the guy, and cast the demons out of him in the name of Jesus.

01:28:49.200 That's gangster, dude.

01:28:50.700 The demon leaves him, and the guy has zero memory of what just occurred.

01:28:55.160 This is crazy, because now I understand your father more.

01:29:00.260 He's like, I'll be damned if I'm going to get picked up and thrown down the stairs.

01:29:04.080 It's time to harden this body up.

01:29:05.700 And so now he starts slamming center blocks against his face and running through two-by-fours.

01:29:13.080 I mean, it's just funny to me, because as he's describing this, I'm like, yeah, couldn't have picked a hardier dude to go through that, huh?

01:29:18.720 I love it.

01:29:19.500 This family is insane.

01:29:21.700 They're awesome.

01:29:22.880 Yeah.

01:29:23.120 I wonder if his parents are passed on, or if he's still out there just crushing.

01:29:30.000 Yeah, I don't know.

01:29:31.260 I hope he's still kicking.

01:29:32.540 This is story number three.

01:29:33.840 A pinkish-purple blob demon exorcism.

01:29:37.000 A story from my dad.

01:29:39.080 My dad and a buddy offered to pray for a woman.

01:29:41.540 She was agnostic.

01:29:43.140 Didn't believe.

01:29:44.700 She was a nightclub singer.

01:29:46.660 She had blisters on her vocal cords and was out of work and unable to sing.

01:29:50.980 I didn't even know you could get blisters on your vocal.

01:29:53.240 That's wild.

01:29:53.600 Yeah, they're like vocal nodules.

01:29:56.200 Is that the same thing as like a polyp?

01:29:58.640 I think it could be similar.

01:30:00.400 I know Adele had them.

01:30:01.380 John Mayer had them.

01:30:02.400 Yeah.

01:30:02.820 I heard about the Adele thing.

01:30:04.080 That's right.

01:30:05.000 Yeah.

01:30:05.140 My father offered to pray for healing, rather.

01:30:11.340 She agreed.

01:30:12.260 They prayed, and her vocal cords were immediately healed.

01:30:15.760 She was able to sing perfectly.

01:30:17.600 She agreed to accept Jesus Christ and become baptized.

01:30:20.380 After baptism, they prayed for her to receive the Holy Spirit, and that's when she saw a pinkish-purple blob of mist leave her body.

01:30:28.300 It came into her through the occult, they realized.

01:30:32.820 She is now a pro-life activist, a politician in Colorado in the past.

01:30:37.780 Her name is Amy Stevens.

01:30:39.420 This is a story that I heard as a kid.

01:30:41.760 You know, what's great about this is we're three stories in.

01:30:45.220 Each one ends with this sentence.

01:30:47.460 It says, I grew up hearing about this story.

01:30:49.580 I grew up hearing about this story.

01:30:50.840 This is a great, I mean, like, to raise your children.

01:30:54.860 This is how you write an email.

01:30:56.100 What's that?

01:30:56.960 This is how you write an email.

01:30:58.800 Yes, yes, yes, yeah.

01:30:59.960 But, I mean, to raise your kid and to be able to tell them these stories where mom and dad, like, partake in this spiritual warfare, that's the kind of thing.

01:31:10.740 Because I wonder what's more impactful.

01:31:12.280 It's like raising your kids in the church, and then it's like, you know, you kind of go through this thing where, like, nope, you're not allowed to do that.

01:31:17.280 Nope, you can't, you know, there's a lot of, like, rules and restrictions, and a kid might grow up to resent it and then become rebellious because of it.

01:31:23.940 Or to temper that with, like, oh, this is real, and mom and dad have been engaging in spiritual warfare for some time, and then you have these, like, family stories that you pass down.

01:31:32.960 I lied to my son.

01:31:35.140 I lied to my son.

01:31:36.140 When he was little, and he was like, I'm afraid of, you know, monsters when I'm sleeping.

01:31:40.760 And I said, dude, the monsters, they're real, yeah.

01:31:43.740 But mom and dad, we killed them all in the Great Monster Wars.

01:31:47.280 A few years back.

01:31:48.440 And he was like, for real, dude?

01:31:49.960 And I was like, yeah, man, it wasn't easy, but we got it done, and now there's no more left.

01:31:54.240 And he was like, okay, because I knew they were real, but, I mean, if you kill them all, which I totally believe, then I'm good now.

01:32:00.080 And so that's, I wish that I could actually say something true to my son.

01:32:04.560 But athlete miraculously healed, sort of.

01:32:10.920 While my dad was chaplain at USC, a football player had severed his Achilles tendon.

01:32:17.380 Damn.

01:32:18.340 That doesn't sound good at all.

01:32:21.860 He says he was out of the game, probably ruined his career.

01:32:25.500 He was a star player, a running back, I believe.

01:32:27.760 He asked my dad to pray for a miracle so he can continue the game.

01:32:32.580 My dad prays for him.

01:32:34.420 The guy jumps up and continues playing, scoring the winning touchdown.

01:32:40.200 He's so excited, he goes and gets an x-ray and excitedly says, I'm healed.

01:32:45.560 God healed me, huh?

01:32:47.700 And the medical said, no, your Achilles tendon is completely severed.

01:32:51.760 He's severed, we have no idea how the fuck you're still walking, let alone kept playing.

01:32:57.960 My dad was known for healing people.

01:33:02.220 That's wild, man.

01:33:04.940 This was one time it only sort of worked for whatever reason.

01:33:08.560 I think it's hilarious.

01:33:09.880 Another story I heard growing up as a kid.

01:33:11.660 Man, I mean, these things, to have this wealth of storytelling, you know, be something that is prominent in your childhood, that's how you bring a kid closer to God.

01:33:24.020 But in order to do that, you've got to go out and have these experiences.

01:34:29.540 Can't run out God.

01:34:30.640 This is story number five.

01:34:31.540 Can't run out God.

01:34:32.880 A story from my father.

01:34:33.900 I had this story revised after I sent this all to my mom because I called her to clarify some things in the stories about her experiences.

01:34:41.860 Okay, cool.

01:34:42.300 So mom's still crushing.

01:34:43.720 She's really happy I'm recording this and sharing it.

01:34:46.200 And she read the whole thing.

01:34:47.460 Please don't show her this because we made a mockery.

01:34:49.680 And she knew the details of this story better than I could recall.

01:34:56.120 So here's what really happened.

01:34:57.960 In the early 1980s, this woman named Helen, an international student from USC at, I'm sorry, at USC from Guatemala,

01:35:05.580 Guatemala, who was part of my dad's campus church, fell for a guy who was a master manipulator and really bad dude.

01:35:14.580 He was a literal sorcerer and put a witchcraft spell on a ring, which he gave her.

01:35:21.620 Out of nowhere, she informed everyone that she was running away with him.

01:35:25.400 And he was taking her away forever, dropping out of school and taking her out of the country.

01:35:30.660 This concerned the whole church.

01:35:32.460 And then the Holy Spirit told my dad that she was in danger and they needed to find her and convince her to leave this guy.

01:35:42.460 My father had this buddy of his he led to Jesus Christ, Jim DePauli, just doxing everybody.

01:35:48.820 I used to shoot guns with this guy as a kid.

01:35:51.360 Cool guy, cool guns based.

01:35:55.820 This guy's dad was a lead mafia man in Las Vegas.

01:35:58.560 He was with my dad when they found the girl in the hotel.

01:36:03.700 Uh-oh.

01:36:04.300 The story was that they didn't know where to go, so they grabbed a thick Yellow Pages phone book and ripped it in half.

01:36:14.240 Like, now what?

01:36:16.200 I just ripped it in half and this guy came out of hiding.

01:36:18.680 He was like, alright, alright, I give up.

01:36:19.980 He's like, where did we find her though?

01:36:20.520 I can't read any of these names.

01:36:22.980 Okay, okay.

01:36:24.940 Grabbed a thick Yellow Pages phone book, turned the pages to the hotel section, prayed in tongues, randomly opened to a page, and pointed to a hotel name saying, this one.

01:36:35.860 They drove to the hotel in the phone book, the Holy Spirit told them the exact room number, they knock on the door, and Helen opens the door.

01:36:45.560 Shocked, she breaks down crying, and rips the ring off her finger and threw it across the room.

01:36:52.780 This broke the spell, and she regained her senses and came back with them.

01:36:57.720 Helen was at my dad's hospital bedside when he was passing in 2016.

01:37:01.540 Damn.

01:37:02.220 Sorry to hear that, man.

01:37:03.220 That guy's a legend.

01:37:04.220 Would have been cool to have him around still.

01:37:05.780 Hoping this guy was still alive.

01:37:07.140 That sucks.

01:37:08.640 She happened to be in town visiting from Guatemala.

01:37:11.200 Happened to be in town while he was passing away.

01:37:13.500 That's incredible.

01:37:16.000 She married a doctor and is a head prophetic minister in Guatemala today.

01:37:22.240 Current name, Helen Cohen.

01:37:24.120 Oh, interesting.

01:37:25.020 She married a tribe member.

01:37:27.000 I see.

01:37:27.440 Why don't you do that?

01:37:28.680 Very cool, though.

01:37:29.720 Very, very cool.

01:37:30.560 The odds that she just happened to be in town visiting from Guatemala and was able to be

01:37:35.740 at your dad's bedside while he was passing is incredible.

01:37:39.580 Number six, Cowboy Ghost.

01:37:42.160 A story with my father.

01:37:43.360 While on a speaking engagement in Arizona with a number of his brothers in Christ, my dad

01:37:49.820 and some of his buddies go outside to pray before a big meeting.

01:37:53.540 They are standing in a circle and start praying in the moonlit Arizona desert.

01:37:58.160 And they hear the sound of a horse.

01:38:00.920 They look around as the moon is so bright, they can still basically see everything in

01:38:06.820 the night and see no horse.

01:38:09.340 There's nothing around for miles.

01:38:11.520 Yet they continue to hear a horse and it is sounding like it's getting closer.

01:38:17.060 They watch as this spectral horse sounds like it's only yards away.

01:38:22.680 And they hear and see the boot prints in the sand of a cowboy familiar get off the horse.

01:38:32.200 The sound of spurs approach the prayer circle and literally boot prints being made in the

01:38:39.260 sand stopping to stand in the circle or in the outside of the circle.

01:38:44.520 The men just all looked at each other and laughed it off like it's a sign of the enemy

01:38:51.780 is trying to scare them, trying to intimidate them and rebuked it in the name of Jesus Christ

01:38:58.180 and went up.

01:38:59.280 What about their lives?

01:39:01.100 Another story I grew up with as a kid.

01:39:03.720 That's that's a wild thing to hear that.

01:39:08.200 And then they just go, you know what?

01:39:09.600 In the name of Jesus Christ, kick rocks, dude.

01:39:11.640 And this I mean, you're all go ahead.

01:39:15.180 Yeah, I'll read this one here because this looks like so he's like he's telling these

01:39:19.360 stories as the life progresses.

01:39:21.240 But this looks like where things start to develop in the story for his dad.

01:39:26.400 At least so number seven stage collapse, a concerning story with implications for my dad.

01:39:34.100 My dad was at the height of his ministry in his youth and he gets on stage, starts calling

01:39:38.240 out the kingdom of darkness.

01:39:39.440 No spirit of Jezebel, no pathetic demon in the kingdom of darkness can take me out before

01:39:44.040 my time.

01:39:45.320 That's what his dad's saying.

01:39:46.800 And just as he finished saying that the stage upon which he was standing collapsed and he

01:39:51.500 jumped in defiant and he jumped in defiant triumph screaming.

01:39:55.580 Yeah.

01:39:57.300 Shortly after this, a spiritual warfare that came against my father and my family was amplified

01:40:02.120 exponentially.

01:40:02.920 And it eventually destroyed our family because my dad became beaten down.

01:40:08.640 My dad became beaten down and beaten down by life and he never quite recovered.

01:40:14.220 I attribute this as ignorance and arrogance in the face of being beings that know your

01:40:19.160 weakness strategize very well.

01:40:21.020 And when you call them out to battle, you better understand that it's very real.

01:40:25.840 Yeah.

01:40:26.400 Let me ask you this, Top, because I'm really liking this guy, right?

01:40:29.160 The stage collapses.

01:40:31.100 He just screams, yeah, after he after he jumps out of the way and doesn't fall.

01:40:36.740 So look, what should we be?

01:40:39.760 And obviously, maybe there's a what would you call that trademarking or something like

01:40:47.480 that?

01:40:47.980 We should talk to Mr. Sir, Sirotnack.

01:40:52.300 I feel like we should start coming out with a line of workout where just called power team.

01:40:57.580 And just says, yeah, on it.

01:40:59.160 It just says, yeah, real big on the chest, dude, or right, like across the back.

01:41:02.680 Right.

01:41:02.900 And we'll, we'll, we'll make it for, it'll be a Nephilim death squad, um, uh, workout

01:41:08.620 line and we'll, we'll cover it in cool, you know, kind of logos and things like that.

01:41:12.660 It would be also cool to have like pictures of him, like in that windbreaker 90s suit.

01:41:17.820 Well, it just says, yeah, the yeah thing, um, from the story that how I'm reading it, the

01:41:27.320 yeah almost sounds like, uh, he's a little afraid because I don't think these things

01:41:33.900 could really get to you unless, um, unless you're like allowing the fear.

01:41:40.500 And I'm not saying like he's allowing the fear, but that probably shook him up a little

01:41:44.480 bit.

01:41:44.780 It seems like stage collapse.

01:41:45.960 He jumps out and says, yeah, for the audience, but a little bit shaken up.

01:41:50.580 If I like it, I'm, I'm lionizing him in my mind where like, he feels like his spider

01:41:55.720 sense goes off his, his, his Jesus Christ sense goes off.

01:41:59.560 And in it, and then Jesus whispers goes jump my son and he jumps.

01:42:04.240 And as he jumps the floor falls and then he lands in a, like a superhero pose and he goes

01:42:09.500 yeah.

01:42:11.120 And the crowd goes wild.

01:42:12.660 That's what I see instead.

01:42:13.580 I see like a very, like a macho man, Randy Savage, it's, it seems like it collapsed and

01:42:18.420 then he jumped out of it, which sucks.

01:42:21.300 He did a front, but, uh, this isn't bad.

01:42:23.920 NDS track suits too.

01:42:25.180 We should do, or not the tracksuit, but you know, the windbreaker, maybe that is a track

01:42:27.840 suit, like the windbreaker material.

01:42:29.800 Right.

01:42:30.180 And it's like a very nineties vibe where it matches the pants and the jacket and pants

01:42:34.680 match together.

01:42:35.360 And then across the back, it just says, yeah.

01:42:38.820 Christ is like, what the hell is this about?

01:42:41.780 I love it, dude.

01:42:42.760 I love it.

01:42:43.120 All right.

01:42:43.540 He says, uh, attacked by a demon.

01:42:45.400 Number eight, uh, attacked by a demon possessed man.

01:42:48.900 Story from my mother.

01:42:50.540 In 1984, my parents not yet married.

01:42:52.700 My mother is meeting a friend in El Pollo Loco.

01:42:55.140 It's a fast food restaurant in LA.

01:42:57.680 Uh, my mother had recently given her life to Christ and the authority doctrine was being

01:43:01.980 taught by Marantha ministries, a revivalist movement spreading, uh, like wildfire at the

01:43:06.880 time.

01:43:07.720 Essentially one of the major ministries founding the charismatic Christian sect.

01:43:11.420 It taught heavily about the doctrine of God, giving us dominion over all of the earth and

01:43:16.380 Genesis.

01:43:16.800 And in the name of Jesus, the demons must submit to Christ as well as healing, casting out demons

01:43:22.840 from people, raising the dead, et cetera.

01:43:25.240 Wild times, glorious times, all true too.

01:43:28.340 Too bad.

01:43:29.620 So many of them got weird.

01:43:32.200 Uh, that's the demonic subversion for you.

01:43:34.680 Yep.

01:43:35.660 It's subtle, gradual, and then all at once.

01:43:38.300 It first comes in through pride and not staying grounded in the scriptures and the lack of discernment.

01:43:43.320 And the next thing you know, you got freaks barking in the spirit.

01:43:47.140 That's not my church experience, but I've heard stories and seen stuff just as outrageous.

01:43:53.420 As it's written, my people perish for lack of knowledge.

01:43:56.680 There's still some good non-denominational churches that, uh, came out of this movement

01:44:00.720 that still exist today and are amazing.

01:44:03.080 Not talking crap on the Marantha ministries either.

01:44:05.680 They were pioneers of rediscovering deep biblical truths and power.

01:44:11.120 Anyway, my mom was learning this power that resides in the mighty name of Jesus, and she's

01:44:16.440 eating with a gal, a friend of hers.

01:44:18.960 My mom is facing the door in a table booth, and her friend is yammering on about some bullshit

01:44:23.600 when my mom notices this disgusting, filthy homeless man, uh, flings the doors of the Pollo

01:44:30.720 Loco open, like a crazed, like a, like a crazed hurry, practically jumping into the store.

01:45:33.860 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.

01:45:37.660 And he's intimidating.

01:45:39.020 He's got this bug-eyed, unblinking stare going on with the look of sheer hate on his face,

01:45:44.160 seething in anger.

01:45:45.700 His hands locked straight out of the, in the position in front of him, uh, that appears

01:45:50.960 he's, he's like, it's like he's trying to choke someone.

01:45:53.520 Oh, so he's kind of doing like one of these fucking things.

01:45:55.460 It'd be like a zombie stare run.

01:45:58.240 Uh, he immediately turns his entire upper body in one motion without moving his neck

01:46:02.700 and makes direct eye contact with my mother.

01:46:05.080 And no surprise here.

01:46:06.420 Uh, he starts slowly walking towards her menacingly.

01:46:09.620 She's watching as this little Mexican employee who's mopping noticed the homeless dude had

01:46:14.580 bad intent and tried to stop him with the mop hole.

01:46:17.600 Nice.

01:46:18.240 Yeah.

01:46:19.320 The demon possessed man picked the little Mexican guy like a rag doll and pushed him out the

01:46:23.560 way.

01:46:24.180 Damn.

01:46:24.440 Next, in one motion, turning to his attention right back to my mom, locked on like a missile.

01:46:31.000 My mom hadn't noticed, uh, when he first came in, uh, my, my mom noticed when he first

01:46:35.880 came in and started praying in tongues while her friend back turned, isn't paying attention.

01:46:41.220 She's just yammering about something.

01:46:44.040 And, uh, my mom starts saying under her breath, but with forceful intent, I bind you in the name

01:46:48.960 of Jesus.

01:46:49.440 I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.

01:46:51.800 The guy gets within five feet of my mom, stops, his face turns to utter fear, and he

01:46:57.560 turns around in one motion like he came and ran out the door with his hands still raised

01:47:01.860 like he's strangling someone.

01:47:03.640 Damn.

01:47:04.760 Uh, her friend finally noticed that something weird just happened and the little Mexican

01:47:08.940 guy asked if she was okay.

01:47:11.120 And, uh, she thanked him for trying to help.

01:47:14.080 Her friend asked, uh, what was that all about?

01:47:17.000 And my mom didn't want to freak her out.

01:47:18.420 So she just said, I have no idea.

01:47:20.360 It didn't really hit her at the time, but when she got home, she realized full well, Satan

01:47:24.620 just sent an angel to kill her or agent.

01:47:27.400 Yeah.

01:47:28.180 Yeah.

01:47:29.020 And, uh, and she walked away with a powerful testimony to the power of the name of Jesus.

01:47:36.140 And that was told to me as a child on how to fight the demonic.

01:47:41.120 Man, this, this guy, you know what is falling on me now?

01:47:45.180 It's like, I'm, I'm, I'm reading all this.

01:47:47.240 These are tremendous stories.

01:47:48.320 And I'm kind of like, um, I have a lot of admiration for this guy's family and, and what

01:47:54.040 they accomplished and, and, you know, uh, sort of the way they, they spread the word

01:47:58.200 and everything.

01:47:58.660 And, and then I'm like, why are you watching this show?

01:48:03.220 You know what I mean?

01:48:03.980 Like, it just feels like you would have such a, a better, there are better sources for

01:48:10.040 this sort of thing.

01:48:11.320 There's better shows than this one.

01:48:13.360 Yeah.

01:48:14.240 Yeah.

01:48:14.720 And, and I mean, I'm, I'm honored that he's at all watching this.

01:48:18.900 Um, but it's just like, damn dude, he's probably constantly rolling his eyes.

01:48:22.640 He's typing this out.

01:48:23.400 Cause he's like, these fucking guys need help.

01:48:24.860 Um, yeah, I wonder, I wonder how his life with his family was because I don't, I don't

01:48:29.860 think it could be very easy living in a family like this.

01:48:32.580 Um, with basically superhuman people.

01:48:36.600 Yeah.

01:48:37.300 Probably very intense people.

01:48:38.740 Your dad seems very intense.

01:48:40.080 Like if you didn't want to go the route of running through two by fours and casting out

01:48:44.060 demons, I can't imagine that that would have been an easy conversation to had, have had

01:48:48.640 with your dad.

01:48:49.240 Like, yeah, like, like this guy, like his father and toad are on complete opposite ends

01:48:54.560 of the spectrum of like human beings.

01:48:56.520 You know what I mean?

01:48:56.940 It's like, and that's who we spend our time around is like a toad, you know, or like a

01:49:01.100 tower gang.

01:49:01.940 You know, toad is actually a little bit more, I would say he's more like this, this guy,

01:49:07.060 this guy's dad than, uh, most people as far as like, uh, just the attitude, obviously

01:49:13.460 not physically, but the attitude of like going to do it anyway, that kind of thing.

01:49:17.860 Um, yeah, that's true.

01:49:19.560 That's true.

01:49:20.100 Yeah.

01:49:20.300 Now imagine how unstoppable toad would be if he was, if he was toading for the Lord.

01:49:24.240 Uh, yeah.

01:49:26.120 Dev irony says, oh, you guys do all right.

01:49:28.400 Stop your filthy mouths.

01:49:29.400 But other than that, it fits so it can ship.

01:49:32.000 I, oh, I like that.

01:49:32.900 It fits so it can ship.

01:49:33.920 I really, sometimes I think about it.

01:49:35.460 I'm like, we are disgusting people and we do say horrifying things, but then, and then

01:49:39.220 it just keeps happening.

01:49:40.540 And I keep saying it.

01:49:41.700 I just keep saying it.

01:49:42.580 So I don't think I'll fucking stop.

01:49:44.020 Next story.

01:49:45.500 Demons recognize threats.

01:49:46.960 Um, on multiple occasions over the years, homeless demon possessed men would call my

01:49:52.320 mother by name, usually with vitriol.

01:49:54.840 Damn.

01:49:55.440 It's, it's always the homeless guys too.

01:49:57.180 Like they're just like a agent Smiths for.

01:49:59.740 Yeah.

01:50:00.660 The devil.

01:50:01.500 My aunt who's schizophrenic would do that a lot.

01:50:04.460 She would, she would like call.

01:50:06.280 I mean, obviously she knows us, but she would call like the, the answering machine and just,

01:50:11.740 I don't know, just like, you know, say my mom's name over and over again.

01:50:15.280 I remember one time she called my answer machine and she's like, where's David?

01:50:19.700 He's dead.

01:50:20.500 Isn't he?

01:50:21.620 You don't want to tell me that he's dead.

01:50:23.020 I know he's dead.

01:50:24.200 I know he's dead.

01:50:25.100 Where is David?

01:50:25.700 Like, that's what was on my, my answer machine at my house.

01:50:28.020 One day I woke up and went downstairs and pressed play.

01:50:29.980 And that started playing out of it.

01:50:31.100 She's like, uh, really intense, really intense lady.

01:50:34.620 Yeah, that's, that's horrifying.

01:50:36.960 It was scary.

01:50:37.840 I was like, I'm not fucking dead though.

01:50:39.280 What does she know?

01:50:40.740 It's like, am I dead?

01:50:42.160 All right.

01:50:42.340 He said, uh, on occasion, my mom walking with her non-believer friend in town, they notice

01:50:47.240 a homeless druggie acting crazy, throwing his backpack in the air, acting like a retard,

01:50:51.420 making retard noises.

01:50:52.840 Yep.

01:50:53.120 Uh, then from across the intersection of the street, he stops and turns directly at

01:50:57.440 my mom and starts yelling to my mom, who's named Dana.

01:51:00.960 He says, Dana, you're a bitch.

01:51:02.560 Dana, you're a fucking bitch.

01:51:03.940 And my mom is like, what the hell?

01:51:07.420 My mom's friend is like, what the hell?

01:51:09.260 And my mom's like, oh, don't worry about it.

01:51:10.960 It's just, you know, they just continue.

01:51:13.800 Oh, don't worry about it.

01:51:15.100 It'd be fucking very worried.

01:51:17.000 Yeah.

01:51:17.380 Uh, another time, less confrontational, just as creepy.

01:51:20.700 She, she's walking with my mom's best friend, Gina, who's also an active prayer warrior.

01:51:26.580 And they're approached at the city of Dana's Point, Dana's Point Harbor in California.

01:51:33.020 Uh, they're approached by what would appear as a homeless man.

01:51:37.200 And he addressed them by name.

01:51:39.180 Hi, Dana.

01:51:39.780 Hi, Gina.

01:51:40.940 And my mom and Gina say hello and ask, do we know you?

01:51:44.300 And the demon possessed man replies, Gina, you greet me every morning.

01:51:47.720 Uh, Gina got creeped out as she prays over her city every morning.

01:51:52.560 Oh, shit.

01:51:53.820 And interpreted this at that and interpreted that this must be what he's talking about.

01:51:59.180 He left and they went about their day still kind of in awe of the event.

01:52:03.660 Hmm.

01:52:03.900 So what that really sounds like to me is these are people that the, uh, the medical industry

01:52:10.060 would, would determine are bipolar schizophrenic.

01:52:12.740 Um, but this goes back to that precognition effect that, uh, that schizophrenia often has

01:52:18.740 on people, which it's not fucking schizophrenia.

01:52:20.100 It's, it's demonic possession.

01:52:21.160 But one of the things that obviously cues you into that is that there's a precognition

01:52:26.160 effect where somehow these things will make you, uh, privy to information that you shouldn't

01:52:31.340 have and it's, it's never like really big stuff, right?

01:52:34.220 Cause if it was big stuff, then these homeless people would be like crushing at the lottery

01:52:37.320 and shit like that.

01:52:38.060 But they'll whisper things to you that are about to happen or names or places or things

01:52:43.760 like that.

01:52:44.140 They are, um, the disseminators of information, which by the way, when you go to, let's say

01:52:51.080 like the lesser keys of Solomon and the way he's trapping these demons, all these demons,

01:52:55.380 they have a different thing that they can do for you.

01:52:58.220 And, and they'll often be things like, um, like there, there, there's the, uh, the lesser

01:53:04.540 globes of Yogg-Sothoth, which I think is, is really, um, a Lovecraftian thing, but I think

01:53:10.680 he's pulling that information from somewhere.

01:53:12.580 And the lesser globes, the 13 globes of Yogg-Sothoth are these other entities that are, they're

01:53:18.320 essentially demons and you can, uh, pull them in and have them do your will.

01:53:23.140 And some of their will is like, well, I can help you understand ancient languages.

01:53:27.260 And then another one's like, oh, well, I can help you find treasures that are lost, not

01:53:31.840 take treasures from people.

01:53:33.660 I can only help you find treasures that are lost specifically.

01:53:36.700 And what does that sound like?

01:53:37.660 That sounds like, remember that time we were, uh, I think it was Marsinski was talking about

01:53:40.660 a guy that was able to find where drugs were because this thing told him like, Hey, in

01:53:44.580 this field, underneath this plank of wood, you'll find some meth kind of a deal.

01:53:48.420 Right?

01:53:48.640 So, um, I think this is all, and probably these lesser spirits can do it to lesser degrees.

01:53:54.480 Right, right, right.

01:53:57.600 That's, that's heavy.

01:53:58.540 I like the idea that, uh, this demon was like, uh, the city itself, you know, like a, a legion

01:54:06.980 almost, uh, a hive mind.

01:54:09.540 It's like you pray for me every day.

01:54:10.740 Or a power of principality.

01:54:12.160 Over.

01:54:12.400 Who the hell prays for their city?

01:54:13.440 I, I guess, I guess you should pray for your city.

01:54:15.760 That's wild, yeah.

01:54:16.440 I've never, I've never thought to do that.

01:54:18.360 Maybe that's because I'm a bad person.

01:54:20.460 Maybe.

01:54:21.580 Yeah.

01:54:22.180 It would seem like a thing that a woman would do.

01:54:24.040 Pray for the city.

01:54:24.660 Yeah, very, very feminine.

01:54:25.220 Like, fuck the city.

01:54:26.380 Yeah.

01:54:26.780 But, maybe you should.

01:54:29.120 I don't know.

01:54:29.720 Maybe.

01:54:31.280 Nah, I don't care about the city.

01:54:33.360 Nah.

01:54:35.380 Another story involving my mom.

01:54:37.480 I know, and Gina.

01:54:38.920 Uh, my brother was almost killed once.

01:54:40.960 We were rebellious sons, more so my brother than I.

01:54:43.820 My brother moved to Humboldt, California, near Bohemian Grove.

01:54:46.800 No, no, near Bohemian Grove.

01:54:49.340 Bohemian Grove.

01:54:50.500 Bohemian Grove, Summerfield, Florida.

01:54:52.580 Um, he was out late drinking with some Australian students at the local college over, uh, over

01:54:59.460 a rugby game on TV at a bar.

01:55:01.580 He got hammered drunk, started driving home on the NorCal Highway 299 in freezing temperatures.

01:55:10.040 He hit some black ice on the highway, popping a tire, and spun out, dodging some trees.

01:55:15.400 At the exact moment, back in SoCal, in Orange County, my mother and my aunt Gina both wake

01:55:22.100 up with a feeling of horror, of terror, in the middle of the night around 3 a.m.

01:55:27.180 My mom starts praying in tongues, and the Holy Spirit tells her it's about my brother,

01:55:32.160 and that he could die.

01:55:34.060 Uh, my aunt Gina called my mom right then and says God woke her up, and she was feeling, uh,

01:55:38.900 and she was freezing to death in her bed.

01:56:38.280 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.

01:56:41.940 And it was a message about what was happening to my brother.

01:56:44.800 They started praying prayers of intercession for my brother to have his life spared.

01:56:49.400 Back in Humboldt, my brother is blackout drunk on the highway, a good Irish-Italian mutt

01:56:55.000 he is, spun out, parked parallel to a 40-yard cliff off the side of the highway.

01:57:00.440 Wow.

01:57:00.880 Facing the wrong direction.

01:57:03.340 He decides to take the keys out and throw them on the floor and go to sleep when he's

01:57:09.500 literally freezing to death in cold temperatures in his truck, likely suffering from alcohol

01:57:14.800 poisoning, which lowers your internal body heat.

01:57:18.080 Oh, he's a legend.

01:57:19.260 Freaking legend.

01:57:20.060 The police show up, the police show up and ask him if he's okay, and why he's parked on

01:57:25.760 the side of the road next to a cliff.

01:57:27.580 And he said he spun out on...

01:58:59.160 I'm on the ice driving home and decided to wait until morning.

01:59:03.000 The police let him go.

01:59:04.720 God, I love being white.

01:59:08.660 Anyway, there's no knowing exactly what happened or at what time or how, but God saved my brother

01:59:15.560 from plunging to his death or freezing to death in his truck and being arrested and thrown

01:59:20.340 in jail for what would have been his second DUI.

01:59:23.740 Praise God.

01:59:24.700 So your brother's just a fuck up, huh?

01:59:26.320 Yeah, yeah, well, that's how that goes.

01:59:29.060 I mean, man, that is, it feels like whenever it comes to brothers, I, you know, I don't

01:59:34.820 have, like, I have half siblings, but I've never known them really.

01:59:38.300 But people that I've observed that have brothers, there's always, like, one that's trying and

01:59:42.920 one that's a fuck up.

01:59:43.800 It's always, like, a Cain and Abel situation, just minus the murder.

01:59:48.700 Well, sometimes not.

01:59:50.880 But some of my best friends who have had brothers, it's almost, like, unanimously observable that

01:59:55.760 one of them will have been like this, you know, he's just fucking up.

01:59:59.940 He's lost in the sauce.

02:00:00.680 He's drinking and he's making bad decisions.

02:00:02.980 And the other brother's trying to do better kind of a deal.

02:00:06.980 Yeah.

02:00:07.160 That's just something that I see a lot.

02:00:09.540 I wonder which one of my kids is going to be.

02:00:11.760 I don't know.

02:00:12.420 Well, I don't know if it happens with sisters and brothers, but I know when I see two boys,

02:00:17.400 there's usually a direct polar opposite in some aspect of their behavior.

02:00:23.720 And so it sounds like this guy's one of those.

02:00:27.080 All right.

02:00:27.720 We'll read, we'll read maybe, I don't know, one more because we're still only nine pages

02:00:34.100 in of 23.

02:00:37.100 And this one, number 12, that we're about to get into is actually a bit longer than the

02:00:41.100 other ones.

02:00:41.600 So maybe this one, maybe one more afterwards.

02:00:44.720 All right.

02:00:45.400 So another story, personal earlier life healing.

02:00:50.620 He says, I was a very righteous young man, never even fell into watching porn until I was

02:00:55.400 17.

02:00:56.520 I was in martial arts for eight years, sustaining a knee injury from some weird bone density

02:01:02.340 in my right knee, started growing at the top of my shin.

02:01:04.820 I have the same thing.

02:01:06.300 It's in my knee joint.

02:01:07.340 Yeah.

02:01:07.500 Very weird.

02:01:08.460 You got osteoporosis?

02:01:10.380 No, it's just, well, I had broken some bones and I had like a growth that grows.

02:01:17.060 It's very strange.

02:01:18.120 I've never had, I've never broken a bone because I'm incredibly durable and very strong.

02:01:21.880 Never broke a bone.

02:01:22.220 Good for you.

02:01:22.820 I've broken a lot of bones.

02:01:24.200 You're just not trying hard enough.

02:01:25.560 Some weird bone density in his right knee started to grow to his shin at his knee joint,

02:01:31.540 which hurts like a motherfucker to squat down with.

02:01:33.840 It does.

02:01:34.800 I'm sure it didn't help that I was overweight.

02:01:37.320 It was problematic.

02:01:38.660 When I joined football in high school, the kids made fun of me for not being able to squat

02:01:41.960 down as far as I'm gay.

02:01:44.620 And the defensive lineman, you know, getting low in your stance to hit your opponent was

02:01:48.240 important.

02:01:49.320 At the age of 14 in the summertime, I attended a church at the behest of my mother, who was

02:01:53.720 seeking God after a horrible divorce between my parents over monetary stress and extreme

02:01:58.680 demonic warfare against my family, especially going after the mind of my father.

02:02:06.720 Oh, no, dude, that sucks.

02:02:08.540 That sucks because that's part of the reason that you were fat, I'd imagine, at 14 is because

02:02:14.160 when you got genetics like that, you're going to go through a fat stage before you start

02:02:17.700 putting on that muscle, right?

02:02:19.020 Your dad's just a big dude, man.

02:02:20.680 I hate to hear that because these folks are cool as shit.

02:02:23.200 Everything you showed us up to this point was really awesome.

02:02:25.480 It's sad to hear that.

02:02:28.340 So his dad allowed too many ungodly people to speak into his life, poisoning his mind

02:02:33.040 with lies that would later become his undoing, turning the truth he once held sacred about

02:02:37.900 manhood into something that was like he forgot that he once stood upon it.

02:02:43.640 You see a lot of that, a lot of different people.

02:02:47.160 My mom was also acting like a crazy nagging bitch at the time, too.

02:02:50.580 She literally changed overnight after getting deliverance from some demons of insecurity.

02:02:56.380 Not something anyone prayed with my mom over.

02:02:59.400 God told her that through the Holy Spirit, after she was praying, where she then threw up

02:03:05.340 some black stuff in a trash can and heard God tell her, insecurity left you.

02:03:10.620 This is wild.

02:03:11.320 This guy's family is leading a wild life.

02:03:14.600 Anyway, at the time, being horrific, shrill, fearful, fearful nag didn't help a man who

02:03:24.560 just had his entire life destroyed for doing the right thing.

02:03:27.740 A few years earlier, dad was standing up against a corrupt church he was a lower level leader

02:03:33.380 in.

02:03:33.600 Basically, they got culty and controlling, which my dad and mom were not okay with.

02:03:39.500 They told my father if he didn't like how they did things, he could leave.

02:03:43.620 And so my dad said he would leave.

02:03:45.580 Mind you, my dad brought in their biggest and most financially successful church members

02:03:50.080 whose donation the church relied on.

02:03:52.940 He was responsible for why half the people in this massive church were there.

02:03:56.760 So what they did was go on stage and lie to the congregation, said my dad had a demon,

02:04:03.240 that he was being removed from the church because he was a disobedient to church authority.

02:04:08.760 And basically, everyone was commanded to shun him.

02:04:12.860 And that financially...

02:04:13.680 He should have ran through them.

02:04:14.680 Yeah, he should have ran like fucking two by fours.

02:04:16.920 That financially crucified him and his entire reputation publicly with lies and cult-like ostracism.

02:04:24.180 Even from many of his closest friends, including the man he named at my brother after, which

02:04:30.120 took him many years to recover from.

02:04:33.020 That happened to me.

02:04:34.520 But not...

02:04:35.720 I wasn't as monetarily devastated because I had no monetary ties to this church.

02:04:40.860 But yes, it's a common practice in the church where if you do call out the things that they're

02:04:45.680 doing wrong there, which I'd say in the church that I was going to is probably like money

02:04:50.920 embezzlement and misuse of funds.

02:04:53.400 If you call that out, you get called XYZ and then you will get expelled from the church.

02:05:01.900 But your dad had an entire career off of it with the family, which is unfortunate.

02:05:05.900 It sucks too because even though it's a church and there's obviously, you know, the focus

02:05:10.920 is spiritual, you can still have like regular logistical fallings out with people in the church.

02:05:17.660 But it just seems like it's, it's always going to be, there's always going to be an opportunity

02:05:23.720 to besmirch the person who leaves by saying like they're demon possessed or something like

02:05:28.520 that.

02:05:28.660 Just given the nature of what everybody's there to talk about in the first place.

02:05:31.680 Which really, it really takes away from, because I've heard, I've heard that so many

02:05:36.120 times.

02:05:36.440 It was like, oh, that person just has a demon.

02:05:38.000 That's why.

02:05:38.500 I was like, maybe not.

02:05:39.180 Maybe you're a fucking asshole.

02:05:40.560 Yeah.

02:05:40.760 And then it's like, oh no, that person just had technical disagreements with you.

02:05:44.700 Yeah.

02:05:45.200 And, and now they're, now you're saying that they're spiritually compromised.

02:05:48.860 That could be a demon.

02:05:50.080 Could be a demon.

02:05:50.680 But if you continue to throw that around so much, that's why I didn't believe in that

02:05:54.240 stuff for the longest time.

02:05:55.840 I'm still hesitant to attribute like, well, that was a demon, you know?

02:06:00.000 I don't know.

02:06:00.680 There's a lot of reasons people do things.

02:06:02.620 And then there's also spiritual warfare.

02:06:04.820 Right.

02:06:05.300 Right.

02:06:05.620 Right.

02:06:06.320 But you know, they, they like to, especially in churches like this is why, this is why

02:06:10.180 like he was talking about the charismatic church, how it's become so goddamn goofy.

02:06:14.780 Yeah.

02:06:15.020 Yeah.

02:06:15.560 It's goofy because I don't know, like you continue, if you continue to call everything demons

02:06:21.380 when really this is a monetary issue that, you know, the church, you're treating it like

02:06:26.800 a business and now it's a monetary issue.

02:06:28.380 Well, you should deal with it that way, like adults.

02:06:31.100 But instead, you know, now your entire doctrine is undermined.

02:06:35.700 Yeah.

02:06:36.220 And you're also creating this situation where now you're losing your, like my wife used

02:06:41.220 to be a Jehovah Witness and so many of them are terrified to leave if they disagree with

02:06:45.920 the doctrine or one thing or another, because you lose this community.

02:06:52.220 And so, and that's what they do in the, in, in Jehovah Witnesses.

02:06:56.580 They tell you not to talk to the person who's been disfellowshipped because basically whatever's

02:07:01.800 going on is, is going to be corrosive to you too.

02:07:04.320 So you need to cut all ties with them.

02:07:05.820 So it's like they have this thing that they can hang over your head and that thing is

02:07:09.240 your connection to your congregation.

02:07:11.880 And not only can they make it so they don't talk to you anymore, but they also can make

02:07:16.960 it so that they think that you're demonic and that interacting with you is going to be

02:07:22.460 bad for them spiritually.

02:07:23.680 It's, it's, it's, it's fucked up.

02:07:27.500 Yeah.

02:07:28.100 Well, all right, let's finish this up.

02:07:30.680 Like I said, I've seen the worst of some of what churches have to offer.

02:07:35.040 Anyway, years later, that church got raided by the FBI and never recovered.

02:07:39.040 Damn.

02:07:39.380 To that, I can only say, uh, Dio Vindici, God is our vindicator.

02:07:44.040 Yep.

02:07:45.200 After this, all the people came crawling back to beg my dad for forgiveness.

02:07:49.480 Uh, but at the time he also gained a bunch of weight and suffered a horrible catastrophic

02:07:54.700 knee injury where he then had a botched surgery and an attempt to fix it, which he didn't even

02:08:00.420 know was a botched surgery until years of therapy later, which x-rays revealed, um, he shouldn't

02:08:06.260 have been able to walk at all.

02:08:07.260 He walked with a waddling limp for the rest of his life.

02:08:11.420 The man was depressed for a long time, but that's a story for another time.

02:08:16.240 Long story short, short lesson is, uh, long story short lesson is legends are still people

02:08:22.100 and the mightiest warriors get the hardest wars and many times good men die in battle.

02:08:27.240 Yep.

02:08:28.220 Back to the story about my personal healing.

02:08:30.420 Yeah, he's, he's right.

02:08:31.600 You'll, you know, it's, it's funny, man.

02:08:33.240 Like these, these people live, uh, fast lives and do incredible things, but at the end of

02:08:40.280 it, it's kind of like, uh, they're not like, it's not built for longevity.

02:08:45.500 No.

02:08:46.000 That type of character.

02:08:47.900 We're not, we're not perfect and we're not Christ.

02:08:50.660 And, you know, you see that thing a lot where it's, it's like, let's say somebody does something

02:08:55.400 and you champion them and then they, they just don't want to do it anymore.

02:09:00.560 Let's say, say it's even that they don't want to do it anymore.

02:09:02.520 And then you look to this person and you're like, why don't you do it?

02:09:04.580 Do the thing.

02:09:05.340 It's like, man.

02:09:05.940 Run through the wood.

02:09:07.080 Run through the wood again.

02:09:08.160 Do the thing.

02:09:08.520 I felt like, okay, like, um, when I got into that, that argument with Twitter, uh, with

02:09:12.980 black Twitter, it was like, you know, part of the reason that it was so viral is because

02:09:18.540 it resonated with people.

02:09:19.400 I was just telling a story about my kid getting picked on by like black kids or whatever.

02:09:22.960 And, you know, other people put all their baggage in it.

02:09:25.780 You put baggage in it.

02:09:26.680 You say that I hate black people.

02:09:28.160 It was like, you put that in there.

02:09:29.080 I didn't say that.

02:09:29.840 Or you put baggage in there and you're like, yeah, these black people do that.

02:09:32.560 And it's like, I just told you a story, whatever you're attaching to it is, is on

02:09:36.160 you, but somebody hit me up, um, in my DMS one time and they were sending me more stuff

02:09:42.080 that would have like inflamed me about the black community.

02:09:44.640 And I could see what they were doing.

02:09:46.660 They were trying to get me to go back into battle, you know?

02:09:49.580 And it's like, they're trying to make you dance.

02:09:51.940 They're trying.

02:09:52.480 Well, it's not even that they're trying to make me dance.

02:09:54.320 It was like the people look for a champion and it's like, I don't know, man.

02:09:59.140 I went out there and I swung a broad sword and I did something that was considerable.

02:10:03.600 And then I, and then I came back and like, you want to do that?

02:10:06.160 You want to send me back out there?

02:10:07.260 Like, no, you know, like, I don't know.

02:10:09.780 People just look for a champion.

02:10:10.900 They look for this, this, this hero.

02:10:13.040 We look to people like we look to Christ and it's like, I get it all the time.

02:10:16.180 Like, cause when, yeah, they're like, they'll send him to be like, Hey, look at this.

02:10:19.620 Look at what these, uh, these avos did.

02:10:21.680 Look at what these black people did.

02:10:22.960 And I'm like, Oh, you want me to do a viral tweet off of it?

02:10:26.200 Yeah.

02:10:26.480 Like what you're sending me?

02:10:27.420 And I, sometimes it's funny.

02:10:28.440 I'm like, yeah, that's kind of funny.

02:10:29.940 I don't know.

02:10:30.260 I just, I don't feel like having anything to say about it right now, but yeah, it's weird.

02:10:33.660 So it's like, imagine you're, this is very funny.

02:10:37.800 Imagine you're like in an, in, in an army and you watch, uh, I don't even know what that

02:10:42.980 is.

02:10:43.100 What is BTSD?

02:10:44.060 BTSD, black, there's something syndrome.

02:10:46.700 Oh no.

02:10:47.300 So, so, so, so imagine you're, you're, uh, in a war and you watch like one dude in particular

02:10:53.660 goes out and just does just countless bodies, right?

02:10:57.580 Countless bodies.

02:10:58.700 And then he comes back and instead of being like, wow, look what this person's done.

02:11:04.680 Let's move on now.

02:11:06.000 It's like, get out there and do it again.

02:11:08.040 I was like, he's tired.

02:11:09.620 He's been swinging a sword.

02:11:10.700 It's also crazy that he made it out with his head still attached.

02:11:13.040 And you're like, yeah, but go do it again, go do it again.

02:11:16.640 And it's like, I don't know.

02:11:18.200 I just see that a lot.

02:11:19.140 And, and I understand the, the reason it happened to me is because I just said something that

02:11:23.840 a lot of people thought what we're too afraid to say, but it's like the remedy to that isn't

02:11:27.840 championing another person that's doing it.

02:11:30.280 It's doing it yourself.

02:11:31.640 Yeah.

02:11:32.380 You know, it's get, get out there and do it yourself.

02:11:34.140 Stop looking for, uh, we're only flesh and we're going to deteriorate.

02:11:38.860 We're going to fall apart.

02:11:39.620 And unfortunately, if you stick around long enough, uh, you're probably going to fall

02:11:43.420 on your fucking face.

02:11:44.800 So yeah, that's not, no, no, no, no, no.

02:11:47.740 That's very, that's an run through that wood yourself, man.

02:11:51.140 It's right.

02:11:52.040 It's baby.

02:11:52.900 They showed you, they showed you what's possible.

02:11:55.460 That's really what he's doing here to continue to do.

02:11:58.460 It is just, uh, it's a lot to ask, but it's also, you know, what this person did.

02:12:03.900 They made a career off of doing this sort of thing.

02:12:06.060 That's a, it's a rough road.

02:12:07.760 Yeah.

02:12:08.120 And I just want to say, cause this is the last paragraph and then we're going to wrap

02:12:11.140 it up because, and we'll do, maybe we'll do a double this week to finish this guys.

02:12:14.640 But I just want to say like.

02:12:16.300 Hi, I'm Darren Marler, host of the weird darkness podcast.

02:12:19.240 I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.

02:12:22.560 Spreaker is the all in one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute your

02:12:27.140 show everywhere from Apple podcasts to Spotify.

02:12:29.880 But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.

02:12:33.400 Spreaker offers dynamic ad insertion.

02:12:35.660 That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes, no editing required.

02:12:39.780 And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you and you get paid for

02:12:44.220 every download.

02:12:48.140 Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can pay

02:12:52.560 for bonus content or early access, adding another revenue stream to what you're already

02:12:56.960 doing.

02:13:04.360 tools scale effortlessly as your show grows.

02:13:07.560 So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it, check out Spreaker.com.

02:13:13.000 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R dot com.

02:13:16.560 It's sad to hear the ways in which this dude, like it's this kind of an arc, right?

02:13:20.980 We started this story being like, this dude fucks.

02:13:24.420 He's so cool, right?

02:13:25.380 He's running through boards and shit and then unfortunately, and it just is the nature

02:13:29.440 of things, we get to this point in the story where it's like, it's sad.

02:13:34.760 But it shouldn't be because, you know, death awaits us all and we're all fallible.

02:13:40.720 None of us are perfect.

02:13:41.600 None of us are Christ.

02:13:42.760 But look what this guy did do for a period of time.

02:13:46.220 Like this guy did some really cool shit and brought a lot of people to God through the

02:13:52.540 things like that guy, Ron Coleman, where they were, you know, he's, he's basically like

02:13:57.060 on those, uh, he's on those paraplegic, uh, crutches and they asked him, they're like,

02:14:03.760 if you can go back, would you do all those steroids?

02:14:05.580 And he's like, I was like a God when I did it.

02:14:09.080 Like for those like five, six years when I was doing it, he's like, I was like a God,

02:14:13.120 you will never experience that.

02:14:14.960 Now his knees don't work, his back's fucked.

02:14:17.540 And he's like, can barely move, but he's like, no, I would do it again.

02:14:20.900 Because in that time when you could do that, what did you do?

02:14:25.400 Yeah.

02:14:25.640 Most people did nothing or just cruised, you know, this guy did something fantastic for

02:14:31.860 this, this amount of time.

02:14:33.020 It's whatever.

02:14:33.920 I mean, listen, let's read the rest of his story.

02:14:35.640 See how this plays out.

02:14:36.620 Cause, uh, it doesn't sound great, but man, when he did what he did, when he did it, it's

02:14:42.520 incredible.

02:14:43.200 So, all right.

02:14:44.300 He continues, uh, I attend this church with my mom and I have this awful knee pain.

02:14:49.560 This church has been gaining reputation for moving in the Holy Spirit's power and having

02:14:54.020 breakout healing and miracles.

02:14:55.880 They have a guest speaker, some healer, and he starts preaching about sin and repentance,

02:15:00.160 uh, because unrepentance, sin blocks healing and breakthrough in our life.

02:15:04.740 He invites people to get up for confession and repentance where he then, uh, where he will

02:15:10.180 then pray for their need.

02:15:11.860 And so he asked me if I have anything I need to repent of.

02:15:15.540 I tell him not that I can think of, uh, I can tell he doesn't believe me.

02:15:20.480 He asked me if I ever watched porn.

02:15:22.480 I told him, no.

02:15:23.140 So he said, then do you want to repent for, what do you want to repent for?

02:15:27.560 It took me a minute.

02:15:28.620 And I said, I don't know what sin I've committed, but I'm sure I'm guilty of something.

02:15:32.620 And I want to repent, even if it's simply my pride.

02:15:36.720 Uh, he prays for me.

02:15:38.100 Several people surround and lay hands on me, praying in tongues, the whole Pentecostal nine

02:15:43.680 yards.

02:15:44.420 And he tells me, bend down.

02:15:46.600 Do you feel pain in your knees?

02:15:48.140 I bend down and I hear a crack or two, and then I notice I didn't need help standing

02:15:53.060 up and I have zero pain.

02:15:55.760 I do it again, no pain.

02:15:58.060 And I praise God publicly to the congregation for my healing.

02:16:01.620 It was the first experience I had that I recognize God did something miraculous for me, but I wanted,

02:16:08.420 uh, what, sorry.

02:16:11.840 It was the first experience I had that I recognized God did something miraculous for me, but I

02:16:16.180 wanted more, which led me to some crazy paths, including denial and near rejection of God and

02:16:21.560 what he did for me.

02:16:22.380 But I never denied God.

02:16:24.320 Just what I, uh, just that what I experienced was a genuine miracle years later as my mind

02:16:30.360 drifted away from the Lord into the corruption of public high school.

02:16:34.340 So, man, that's a, look, I mean, that's where we're going to have to put a pin in it.

02:16:39.720 Um, but I'm down for doing a double this week on, on NDS Chronicles because it's a fascinating

02:16:45.920 story.

02:16:46.840 Um, but I don't know that I'd be able to go through something like that and not, there's

02:16:57.080 like a part of my brain that would ridicule it.

02:16:58.580 You know, when he's saying like all these people, they come around them, they touch them

02:17:01.020 on the shoulder, they start speaking in tongues.

02:17:02.700 It's, fuck, man, that's hard for me.

02:17:06.380 That's hard for me.

02:17:07.140 It is weird.

02:17:07.960 I don't like it.

02:17:08.860 It's weird.

02:17:09.560 I don't like it.

02:17:10.380 And I also, I also recognize people's proclivity for faking it.

02:17:14.880 Yeah.

02:17:15.440 And, and, and I, it's so, it would be so hard for me to not look to these faces that

02:17:21.240 are uttering tongues around me and go like, you're fucking, you're making shit.

02:17:26.020 Not that you're making shit up, but it's like, okay.

02:17:29.220 You ever be in, in school, middle school or high school?

02:17:33.180 Look at what he says here though, about his dad.

02:17:35.380 There's like a lot of people around his dad just talking, like just a lot of talkers.

02:17:39.900 And he led a lot of them too close.

02:17:42.000 And I feel like in that type of a church, when you're dealing with people who are talkers,

02:17:47.160 you're going to, you could fall into some weird stuff with them, man.

02:17:52.180 We are dangerous.

02:17:53.320 The talkers are dangerous.

02:17:54.380 I've been able to talk myself in and out of lots of things that I probably shouldn't have

02:17:57.880 been able to.

02:17:58.560 Multiple average.

02:17:59.200 As a matter of fact, guys, this is going to be an early one, but if you want to go check

02:18:04.500 out mypillow.com forward slash Nephilim death squad, I believe we have a new sponsorship.

02:18:09.840 If you use promo code squad, it's not even in the description yet.

02:18:13.160 I got to put this all up, but yeah, we have our own, uh, damn Nephilim death squad.

02:18:19.360 They're not, they're not Nephilim death squad, my pillows, but you can, you can get my pillows

02:18:24.920 for a discount, which I don't even know what the discount is from Nephilim death squad.com

02:18:31.040 from mypillow.com, which is just really cool.

02:18:33.560 I think it, I think it's actually, no, I don't know what it is.

02:18:35.460 I don't want to say anything.

02:18:36.360 Um, I got to figure out what it is, but yeah, that's a, that's another thing I managed to

02:18:40.460 talk my way into.

02:18:41.180 I don't even understand how I did that.

02:18:42.380 So, so you do got to be careful with those people, but look, look, remember being in

02:18:47.300 school and somebody would die and it's, it's, it's sad, but then you would watch the theatrics

02:18:54.940 of people in your school who, you know, didn't really know that guy.

02:19:02.180 And that sort of thing would happen a lot.

02:19:04.720 No, not a lot.

02:19:05.660 I mean, how many, how many kids die, right?

02:19:07.120 You know, when you're going to school, but it happened enough times that I was able to

02:19:09.720 observe it.

02:19:10.240 And I would look at people and I'd go, I know you, I know you didn't have a relationship

02:19:15.400 with this person, but you're engaging in this theatrical crying.

02:19:19.360 A lot of the time it's, it's women.

02:19:20.600 And look, maybe I'm just a little bit emotionally dead.

02:19:25.140 Maybe I should have felt sadder about these kids passing away when they did.

02:19:29.940 Like I remember in particular, there were two friends who got into a car accident and died.

02:19:34.480 And I knew them.

02:19:36.740 In fact, I actually asked them for, well, I didn't ask them because I was embarrassed.

02:19:40.020 My cousin, I did it.

02:19:41.600 It was me.

02:19:42.700 I'm the one who cut their brakes.

02:19:43.720 Now my, my cousin asked them, we were in detention one day.

02:19:47.400 He asked them for a ride back to our town after detention.

02:19:51.600 Cause they were still there.

02:19:52.280 They said no.

02:19:52.760 And then that day they actually got into, now my cousin of course was like, oh, I asked

02:19:58.580 them for a ride and he's part of the big conversation now.

02:20:00.940 And it's basically saying like, it could have been me too, which I recognize as a way to

02:20:04.060 garner sympathy.

02:20:04.740 And I didn't like that.

02:20:05.740 And, and when I recognize that everybody else's tears who didn't really know these kids were

02:20:10.040 also doing it to be part of this like sympathetic thing, ritual that was going on, but I couldn't

02:20:16.900 bring myself to do it ever since then.

02:20:19.440 I have recognized that people will, they want to be a part of something.

02:20:25.560 They want to be a part of drama.

02:20:27.320 They want to be a part of, cause otherwise your lives are very boring.

02:20:30.440 And that to me is very dangerous.

02:20:32.360 So I've never been able to unplug myself from that.

02:20:34.500 And if I was in a, in a church and everybody was gathering around me and they were speaking

02:20:37.320 in tongues, I would not be able to not ask myself how many of you people are here because

02:20:41.760 you lack drama in your own lives.

02:20:44.000 And you want to be part of it.

02:20:44.460 How much of that is genuine.

02:20:45.420 That's like a, again, like a spirit of discernment is something that is helpful there because

02:20:50.340 I've been in churches and there are, there are, there've been a couple of times where

02:20:54.180 people have been speaking in tongues around me and I'm like, oh, right.

02:20:58.260 That's happening.

02:20:59.100 And it's overwhelming.

02:21:00.120 It's a strange thing.

02:21:01.420 There's been a handful of times where they're speaking in tongues and immediately I'm

02:21:04.460 like distaste.

02:21:05.400 I don't like this and I don't know why.

02:21:07.900 And I'll, I would like tell my mom or someone next to me, I'm like, I don't like this.

02:21:11.600 And like, just shut up, shut up.

02:21:13.280 I mean, look at this anti-species.

02:21:15.600 It says I had two instances where women prayed over me in tongues and it didn't work.

02:21:20.440 Um, I think there's something wrong with me, but it's like, how do you know if it's you

02:21:23.680 or if these people even believe what they're doing or they're just going through the motions

02:21:28.880 because it makes a good story later on?

02:21:31.600 Well, today I, I prayed over some poor lost soul and you know, I think she's probably going

02:21:37.160 to find her way now.

02:21:37.960 And so I did my thing.

02:21:38.740 You know what I mean?

02:21:39.140 It's like, it's inserting yourself into, into drama.

02:21:42.920 I'm not saying that these things aren't real at all.

02:21:45.220 That's not at all what I'm saying.

02:21:47.000 Um, if you're closed off to it though, um, which I like for a number of years, I was

02:21:52.160 in the church.

02:21:53.140 I probably would still be top if, if a bunch of people do.

02:21:55.120 I mean, look, I think I know you well enough.

02:21:57.220 If we were out someplace, maybe if you saw that it was profound and meaningful, like the

02:22:02.240 odds of this happening to me right now are strange.

02:22:04.260 And so maybe then you would give into it, but I feel like it would need to be the right

02:22:07.600 circumstance.

02:22:08.160 If people just came over you and started praying over you, I don't know that.

02:22:11.260 No, I'm not.

02:22:11.840 I would be like top is probably thinking this is fucking weird.

02:22:15.200 Yeah.

02:22:15.440 It would be, unless it's not weird.

02:22:17.660 Um, but yeah, most of the time, sometimes it could have even been legit, but like the

02:22:22.020 times where I remember that, that I'm talking about, uh, in circumstances like that, I was

02:22:27.920 disenfranchised with the church and I would cut myself off intentionally.

02:22:32.860 It's in a way still sort of M not willing to be open in the church.

02:22:37.500 Like if, if I go there and they're like, come to the front, we're doing prayers.

02:22:40.420 I'm like, I don't know.

02:22:41.840 I'm not going to do that.

02:22:42.980 I don't like the show of it.

02:22:44.080 Yeah.

02:22:44.260 If I'm going to pray, I will pray, uh, by myself.

02:22:46.820 Other people don't need to see what I'm doing here.

02:22:49.160 Maybe I'm wrong.

02:22:50.060 Maybe they do.

02:22:51.060 Maybe it needs to be.

02:22:51.980 Uh, how do you pray when you pray?

02:22:55.020 Uh, out loud and just talking to somebody.

02:22:57.720 Hmm.

02:22:58.280 I do two modes.

02:22:59.140 Like I do the talking, but then I, I, I, this is going to sound so weird.

02:23:03.480 Um, but most of the time when I pray, maybe if I'm, maybe if I'm laughing at this, maybe

02:23:10.760 I should stop doing it.

02:23:11.960 Most of the time when I pray, I'm naked.

02:23:15.440 That's weird.

02:23:16.020 Yeah.

02:23:16.240 Um, because you know why, because I just like, number one, it happens in the shower.

02:23:20.660 That's where I feel it.

02:23:21.780 Cause I feel like there's something to water and I, and I humble myself.

02:23:24.860 I'm like on my knees.

02:23:26.420 I'll talk to God and walk and talk to God.

02:23:28.220 But if I'm praying, I'm on my knees and I guess maybe coincidentally I'm naked.

02:23:32.340 And if I say it now, it sounds really weird.

02:23:33.840 Maybe I should probably stop doing that.

02:23:35.480 I don't know.

02:23:36.100 I don't know how to do it.

02:23:36.880 All right.

02:23:37.060 I'm, I'm kind of new to it.

02:23:38.660 Um, hi, I'm Darren Marlar, host of the weird darkness podcast.

02:23:42.400 I want to talk about the most important tool in my podcast belt.

02:23:45.840 Spreaker is the all in one platform that makes it easy to record, host, and distribute

02:23:50.120 your show everywhere from Apple podcasts to Spotify.

02:23:52.980 But the real game changer for me was Spreaker's monetization.

02:23:56.780 Spreaker offers dynamic ad insertion.

02:23:58.980 That means you can automatically insert ads into your episodes.

02:24:01.880 No editing required.

02:24:03.320 And with Spreaker's programmatic ads, they'll bring the ads to you and you get paid for every

02:24:07.720 download.

02:24:08.320 This turned my podcasting hobby into a full-time career.

02:24:11.420 Spreaker also has a premium subscription model where your most dedicated listeners can

02:24:15.700 pay for bonus content or early access, adding another revenue stream to what you're already

02:24:20.240 doing.

02:24:30.780 So if you're ready to podcast like a pro and get paid while doing it, check out Spreaker.com.

02:24:36.220 That's S-P-R-E-A-K-E-R.com.

02:24:39.420 Yeah, when I went to a church not long ago, they did the whole hands in the air thing like

02:24:46.580 that.

02:24:46.820 You know, you put your hands and you do, and I couldn't even do that.

02:24:49.520 I'm like, why am I fucking doing that?

02:24:50.700 I would never do this.

02:24:51.780 You know why?

02:24:52.440 Because I went to Coheedon Cambria when I was in New Orleans last year.

02:24:57.340 And I didn't fucking put my hands in the air and jump around.

02:25:00.500 Because I don't do that, period.

02:25:02.140 Because to me, it's like this way of forsaking the individual and becoming part of a group.

02:25:08.800 I have a real hard time with that.

02:25:11.320 A real hard time with that.

02:25:13.520 Okay, so Curtis says it's okay.

02:25:15.600 I don't like it either.

02:25:15.660 He says, totally vulnerable to the Lord.

02:25:17.820 I get it.

02:25:18.520 I rationalize it in a weird way.

02:25:20.420 I'm like, God didn't like when Adam and Eve knew they were naked.

02:25:24.320 He was like, why the fuck do you know that you're naked?

02:25:25.880 Who told you that?

02:25:27.060 And so, to me, like, my clothes are like this materialistic thing.

02:25:34.020 They're brand names.

02:25:35.300 You know what I mean?

02:25:35.780 They're fashion.

02:25:36.940 Like, it all just seems too much.

02:25:40.080 And so, I'm naked.

02:25:43.860 I could feel you think it's weird.

02:25:45.860 It's a little strange.

02:25:47.160 But, hey, man, dude, whatever you're going to do.

02:25:49.360 You know, that's...

02:25:50.120 Do what you're going to do, baby.

02:25:51.280 That's it.

02:25:51.800 I don't think that there's a clothing requirement for when you pray.

02:25:54.360 As opposed to just you're supposed to just pray.

02:25:56.720 Well, you're not supposed to wear blended cloths, cotton and polyester blends or something like that.

02:26:02.060 Oh, that's right.

02:26:02.840 That's right.

02:26:03.280 It's a frequency thing, baby.

02:26:04.380 And I feel like my frequencies are just crushing when I'm naked.

02:26:07.440 Listen, if you guys want to crush when you're praying, they have the best flannel sheets.

02:26:14.140 This is real, guys.

02:26:15.000 We're not even making this shit up.

02:26:16.460 Yeah, see?

02:26:16.920 Promo code SQUAD.

02:26:17.800 That's Mike Lindell on there.

02:26:19.520 That's his face.

02:26:20.420 That's our promo code.

02:26:22.380 Go ahead and buy a pillow.

02:26:23.240 30% is pretty good.

02:26:24.320 Didn't realize it was that much.

02:26:25.200 You know Mike Lindell used to be a crackhead?

02:26:27.260 I would love to talk to him on the show.

02:26:28.740 He's probably got some experiences.

02:26:30.660 Apparently, he was a crackhead, and he was still making pillows.

02:26:34.540 And other crackheads were like, what are you doing?

02:26:36.660 And he's like, shredding these pillows, dog.

02:26:38.160 What are you doing?

02:26:38.780 I'm going to be a billionaire.

02:26:41.160 What are you doing, dog?

02:26:41.880 Bro, and then legitimately, I mean, he's like one of the coolest success stories.

02:26:44.780 I talked to his team the other day, and they tell you all that.

02:26:47.300 And I'm like, damn, that's awesome, man.

02:26:49.020 What a, I mean, unbelievable.

02:26:51.620 He's now, look at him.

02:26:52.560 Look at him.

02:26:52.760 He's crushing, and he was previously a crackhead.

02:26:56.140 I mean, that's inspiring as shit.

02:26:57.820 Yeah, dude.

02:26:58.340 I do like Mike Lindell.

02:27:00.180 I don't know.

02:27:00.540 People want to hate him, but I just, I do like him.

02:27:03.540 He was one of the guys that was calling out the election.

02:27:06.160 He was, he just doesn't, and good for him.

02:27:09.520 Good for him.

02:27:10.100 You got like a multi, like multi-million dollar company, and people rely on you.

02:27:15.220 Still kept his shit in big box stores.

02:27:17.540 Still said what he thought.

02:27:18.980 And he's like, you know what?

02:27:19.920 But I'm selling a really common item that you can buy anywhere, but my shit is better.

02:27:26.140 And he's just selling these pillows, slanging pillows, slanging.

02:27:28.800 Anybody who doesn't like Mike Lindell has never laid out a MyPillow.

02:27:32.520 And I'm excited, too, because right now, we're in the middle of this, like, we have to tell

02:27:36.280 the reps what we want so they can send us stuff so we can talk about it.

02:27:39.500 I'm so excited, because I hear such amazing things about MyPillow.

02:27:42.700 And MyPillow, dude, I have a yellow pillow.

02:27:45.020 I have the yellow pillow.

02:27:46.340 So I got to get rid of the yellow pillow.

02:27:47.960 I got a blood pillow.

02:27:48.820 MyPillow.

02:27:49.400 We need a, yeah, I need a mind-comfy MyPillow.

02:27:52.780 My dog's going to have a MyPillow dog bed.

02:27:56.520 We're going to be sleeping in luxury, dude.

02:27:58.240 This is great.

02:27:58.560 So excited.

02:27:59.080 I'm getting MyPillow slippers so that I always, wherever I go, Mike Lindell is right there

02:28:04.700 with me, dude.

02:28:05.260 I'm so excited.

02:28:06.720 One towel.

02:28:07.480 One towel, $30, maybe.

02:28:09.060 I don't know.

02:28:09.560 Go check out the prices.

02:28:10.520 Go check out the stuff.

02:28:11.340 But the pillows, for sure, are really cool.

02:28:13.260 I need a new mattress, too.

02:28:14.360 I might actually buy a MyPillow mattress.

02:28:16.040 This is a big plug for MyPillow.

02:28:18.120 I guess they're the new sponsor, so.

02:28:19.700 Promo code squad, baby.

02:28:21.280 Promo code squad.

02:28:21.760 It's just super cool.

02:28:22.840 We made it.

02:28:23.360 It is super cool.

02:28:23.940 I'm so excited.

02:28:24.400 Now we made it.

02:28:25.580 Yes.

02:28:25.780 NDS slippers, baby.

02:28:26.600 Yeah, we're going to do that.

02:28:27.420 We're going to do all kinds of stuff.

02:28:28.500 NDS plate carriers.

02:28:30.320 Shout out to Soul Risk.

02:28:31.500 I'm fiending for content.

02:28:32.800 Guys, don't pull that 30-minute BS on me.

02:28:34.460 This was an entire episode.

02:28:35.600 We decided to let the whole thing go to you guys.

02:28:37.320 And now that we do have some YouTubers here, I just want to say that the reason we have

02:28:42.500 been doing no content on YouTube is because they tried to nuke us, and we can't get nuked,

02:28:47.380 baby boy.

02:28:47.800 So we got to just kind of ease up on the content.

02:28:50.540 Yep.

02:28:50.680 Going to delete this from YouTube once it's over, and you'll get some clips.

02:28:55.120 So watch us on Rumble or whatever, and then, I don't know.

02:28:58.340 We'll see.

02:28:58.700 NDS, by the way, again, guys, this has been great.

02:29:01.560 I'm glad the guests didn't show up.

02:29:03.080 But NDS patches, I just spoke with my producer, and we are going to be working on the Letterman

02:29:11.440 jackets that has the original NDS patches, very high quality, really nice stuff.

02:29:16.880 They're going to be super dope.

02:29:18.160 That should be on sale in a couple of days.

02:29:21.640 Just need to get some odds and ends tied off and make sure everything is looking perfect

02:29:27.580 with it, because if it's not exactly how I want it, I'm not going to move forward with

02:29:30.840 those.

02:29:31.000 So, yep, they're going to be super limited, too.

02:29:33.320 So whoever gets them, gets them.

02:29:35.020 I don't think I'll do them again.

02:29:36.220 Once those patches are out, that's that.

02:29:38.060 Eamon Ratt says, did you guys approach my pillow, or did they approach you?

02:29:40.600 We reached out to them.

02:29:41.880 And what I want to say is, guys, if you have any dreams, dude, any aspirations, and you

02:29:47.280 think that there are things that stand in your way, you will only find out if you try.

02:29:52.300 And I find that over and over again, if I just make an effort towards something, some

02:29:56.900 door that should never be opened to me opens.

02:29:59.480 Like, I'm functionally retarded.

02:30:01.800 And Mike Lindell's like, this is a guy I want to go into business with.

02:30:04.700 I mean, that's incredible.

02:30:05.820 That's incredible.

02:30:06.560 So I just wanted to put that out there, you know, because it is wild that we did this.

02:30:10.560 And anybody can.

02:30:12.600 If we can do it, anybody can.

02:30:13.700 If you have a thing that you want to pursue, please, for the love of God, pursue it.

02:30:16.800 Don't stop.

02:30:17.300 Stop doing the thing you hate.

02:30:18.440 Stop doing the thing you hate.

02:30:19.720 And start doing the thing that you actually want to do.

02:30:21.960 Please.

02:30:22.620 Please.

02:30:24.080 That's all.

02:30:25.180 That's it.

02:30:26.000 And look, I deserve this.

02:30:29.800 That's it, guys.

02:30:30.860 That was good.

02:30:31.560 All right.

02:30:32.000 Until next time.

02:30:33.580 Don't forget to abase and comply.

02:30:35.720 See you later.

02:30:36.140 The greatest hypnotist on planet Earth is a oblong box in the corner of the room.

02:30:43.040 It is constantly telling us what to believe is real.

02:30:46.900 You can persuade people that what they see with their eyes is what there is to see.

02:30:51.940 Because they'll laugh in the face of an explanation that portrays the bigger picture of what's happening.

02:31:00.020 And they have.

02:31:04.660 The greatest hypnotist on planet Earth is a oblong box in the corner of the room.

02:31:06.140 The greatest hypnotist on planet Earth is a oblong box in the room.
