00:26:17.120I know that I know the path that I try to walk now is the best that I can do.
00:26:23.800I'm always trying to do the best that I can.
00:26:26.220I don't care what anybody else thinks.
00:26:27.980If I try to, like, I have family members I try to explain this to.0.80
00:26:31.560I have old friends from the city that I try to explain this to, and they just think you're crazy, right?0.98
00:26:36.480Why would you move to the middle of nowhere and buy land, farm, self-sufficiency, try to find God, be a Christian, try to be a legit Christian, not the one that just goes to the church on Sunday and then is a piece of shit besides that hour of the week, right?0.98
00:26:53.620I try to do the best I can because of how bad that it was.0.98
00:26:56.860I don't care what anybody else ever thinks.
00:27:00.420I get these inklings from time to time.
00:27:02.560it's sort of like a a nudge a push where it's like maybe you shouldn't maybe you should you
00:27:08.700know that type of thing and um when it's serious it starts to become more inherent where it's like
00:27:15.380the that little inkling comes up a little more that thought pops into my head a little bit more
00:27:20.740and for some reason when you guys when you agreed to come on it just started to be like ask them
00:27:28.280asked him and uh so i thought i would throw it out there because my the only thing that i don't
00:27:34.360want to come of this is for especially jewels to be upset that we're even talking about it
00:27:38.560um but i mean it's just one of those things i can't really explain it was just something
00:27:43.040i felt like i had to bring up i don't really know how else to put it and um my my thought is exactly
00:27:49.820i think where you were at where it's like are you sure you're not opening a door by by participating
00:27:54.860Are you sure? Because I don't want that. I don't need that. Because I know exactly what you mean
00:28:00.400about the stuff that can happen. I've seen things in my life that, you know, trust me, I know there's
00:28:06.360good and evil. So I don't want to find myself, me, stepping into a place that knowingly I knew
00:28:15.000I shouldn't have and then suffer those consequences. Yeah, even because regardless of the person
00:28:20.840or the situation or whatever you get this inkling if you will from god like you you got to obey that
00:28:28.880dude you can you can only like go against that so many times and watch your life kind of self
00:28:33.680destruct until you realize like oh i better start paying attention to that inclination yeah also
00:28:38.920what do you what do you plan on doing with it like i think that's an important question too
00:28:42.900you're gonna go there and uh i don't know i've i've gone we've gone to places and said
00:28:48.980you see what we say like it's it's kind of crazy but then in the end we're we're pointing back to
00:28:54.240god and i don't even i don't care what these people like we're doing it on with sam tripoli
00:28:58.740like that last episode we did with him it should should be out soon that one for i don't know the
00:29:04.480first 30 minutes it was like comedy fun fun and then the last hour and a half maybe was just like
00:29:10.880hard hard hitting on like hard hitting god stuff and yeah whether he's comfortable with it or not0.98
00:29:17.460i don't give a shit like that's what we're doing you know the the problem that i see most is that0.98
00:29:23.560people don't take it seriously enough because they haven't seen how bad it can actually get0.97
00:29:29.560from most people like they don't recognize the signs they don't see the problems like when i
00:29:33.800look around i see a lot of different things that i point to i say this at times where it's like0.92
00:29:39.680television commercials tv shows it's just pure satanic bullshit and you know i can see that0.76
00:29:47.360other people don't see it you know like i'm like the guy uh in the meme um oh you know he's pointing0.89
00:29:55.420because it's on the tv he's pointing something out i can't leonardo caprio right um i'm pointing0.79
00:30:01.160at it and i'm going see that satanic bullshit but other people don't see it they don't see the0.96
00:30:05.240symbolism they don't see the connection because they're not engrossed enough in anything other0.98
00:30:09.620than the materialistic world that we're in and um i i don't know how to put this but i see it i think
00:30:17.860for some for one reason or another more vividly than i think some other people can and even
00:30:23.860that when it jumps out to me it's like most people don't get it basically is what i'm saying
00:30:30.540is that most people don't get the situation most people don't understand how serious it is and that
00:30:35.460you know how serious the consequences can be and not even being able to recognize that when the
00:30:40.260cons is that the consequences come where they came from right like you know like that because0.95
00:30:47.000that's the other thing it's like you know why is all this bad shit happened to me i must be a victim0.94
00:30:51.100of something i must be a victim of the world you know why would god i hear this often and it drives0.82
00:30:56.600me crazy why would god allow this if god is good and i'm like did you think about what you might
00:31:02.320have done um and that's where i'm at where it's kind of like i don't really know where to put it
00:31:07.440other than it feels like it's a bad step even though in the same breath it's like i could see
00:31:13.520anybody else looking at it and saying what do you mean that's nothing so i mean i don't know for
00:31:19.520whatever it's worth i didn't want to i i felt like i had to ask you that for whatever it's worth i
00:31:24.280don't know why i don't really know it's probably not the greatest content but i mean i just felt
00:31:29.780like i had to it's been on my mind with with jules too because like a lot of people send me
00:31:34.440uh a lot of like his episodes and stuff and i i see some of that like he's i know he's uh
00:31:39.780i guess the correct word is denounced christianity for whatever uh new thing that he's uh proclaiming
00:31:47.000or believing and i'm just like yeah i find that kind of sad um because i i don't it's it's sad
00:31:55.800for a number of reasons for me i i wonder how he feels about it i i wonder if you like went to him
00:32:01.280with concern with your concern about like like hey i know i've been invited to do a thing
00:32:06.560but i got like these concerns and this is where i'm like i'm at i don't want to offend you
00:32:10.960and i don't want to you know push you away any further like offend is a gay word but like i
00:32:16.560don't want to push you into into where you're going any further by being by by by doing by
00:32:25.740acting with how i'm acting but i'm just going to be honest and be like yo this is kind of how i'm
00:32:28.480feeling like do you understand what i'm saying like do you understand where i'm coming from
00:32:32.220because he's a good dude so yeah i don't know it's it's a personal relationship that's now
00:32:36.840dabbling in uh well and again we're on the internet now doing a show that everybody can see
00:32:43.700And Jules is going to probably find out about this, which is another bad part because it's like, I don't want it to be, uh, I don't want it to be a thing where it's like, why, why didn't you just say something?
00:32:55.220You know, I don't, I, I, again, I don't know where to put this.
00:39:47.660When you're talking to somebody, I can't just be like, I can't go to the back there and be like, dude, there were giants on the earth before the flood and after.0.99
00:39:54.860And they were eating babies and people and angels, screwed woman.0.96
00:40:12.500How much of that are we supposed to know?
00:40:13.760was a great question not only that i think people should know it but i'm i don't particularly care
00:40:17.780to argue with people into like you know do something where it's like i'm right you're
00:40:22.540wrong you need to hear my i'm kind of really at the point on like all of the topics i hate to say
00:40:28.100it like this but i'm like i don't care you can't argue but use comedy as a tool because people are
00:40:34.280going to want to argue and then you diffuse them with comedy then you'd be serious and then you
00:40:38.140come back with something funny and then you're serious again and then it's very hard for them
00:40:42.420to regulate and in a sense you're controlling the it's manipulation it's technique you're
00:40:48.360controlling the conversation and how that conversation is gonna go but i think it's
00:40:53.640i never do it with uh if you look look through my twitter not ever not once have i said you need to
00:41:00.820buy my shirt and here's why and this is my business is how i make money i'm never gonna go
00:41:05.920out there and be like yeah oh you have no idea this design is like no other and you should wear
00:41:11.380this because you'll get so many girls and no no no there's another way too though is all i'm saying
00:41:16.420you live your life like i'm not like i don't want to argue with you if you don't want to hear it
00:41:20.180from me it's no problem it's no problem who am i to say i'm right you're wrong anyway but if i live
00:41:24.080my life in such a way where you come ask me like hey dude what's going on well he did he's saying
00:41:28.460that his uncle asked him what's up with all the evil in the world so okay so he's got the question
00:41:33.040now so now the door is open i'm not just going to somebody who doesn't care and i would never do
00:41:38.580that like in here how many people have i spoken to about these topics that like i'm not just gonna
00:41:43.820approach somebody and be like yeah let me tell you everything they'll ask me about the show
00:41:47.640they'll see uh you know like hey what's that about there's a huge joke and i'm like well
00:41:53.620the show's called nephilim death squad and they go what's that mean and i go we deal with comedy
00:41:57.500and christianity through a biblical uh modern lens or they'll say nephilim are bad and you
00:42:03.400shouldn't be promoting that we get that a lot too yeah and i know we try to explain it to people
00:42:07.080they can't hear it never try to explain it with everything no you never explain the troll to
00:42:11.340anybody i tell them okay cool whatever so you told so the uncle asks you elaborate to him on what it
00:42:17.100is and then you just let it ride oh yeah yeah definitely like i don't i'm not gonna push it
00:42:22.940like you know like i said i get an ai generated shot a day later from chat gbt saying that the
00:42:28.400nephilim aren't reeled in a whatever so i mean like i'm not gonna it's not my place to push it
00:42:33.620Now imagine spending three hours talking to some guy from fucking Italy or wherever, and then you get not an AI-generated picture, but you get him talking to an AI for six more hours and then saying, this is why you're wrong.0.99
00:44:23.320What I've been saying, though, for years to these people, it's bore out to be true.1.00
00:44:28.620And then I decided to do it in front of a microphone.
00:44:30.740and i think that like the audience that me and david have the have now is testament to like yeah
00:44:35.240this makes sense but i say to family and sometimes i'll just go you know what i think you need extra
00:44:41.580crazy and then maybe somebody uh you need you need an approach a little bit more drawn back
00:44:47.280and some and a lot of times i've missed so like there's been a lot of refinement with
00:44:50.820if you follow me for the last seven years on how i deal with people on twitter alone
00:44:56.260there's been a lot of refinement on what i used to do and what i do now this is the refined state
00:45:03.100this is this is a diamond what you saw before is wild yeah and also family is the hardest to deal
00:45:10.080with for what i'm not a sign i mean look here here just for whatever it's worth first of all
00:45:14.360we got we got your hat on today let's go and let me tell you buy those hats top lobster.com
00:45:20.980let's go and uh just to paint a picture it's like you know like you said he's we're in the woods
00:45:27.340he's trying to have a conversation about you know turkey hunting or just like what were you guys
00:45:31.820doing actually i was helping him he has some property and i was helping him put fence posts
00:45:36.740in solid uh yeah for a gate uh he's a little bit older he's a little bit banged up so whenever he
00:45:42.620needs help i got a uh cement mixer so i took it up there and mixed it up so he could uh set post
00:45:48.280him for the gate solid um but i mean you know like what top was touching on is the idea that
00:45:55.800planting the seed which was sort of what i had hoped for because just to see if he would at
00:46:02.480least look when he went and did the screenshot he was looking for it right so like i told him a
00:46:08.380thing and then he went and looked for it now whether or not it was the right answer or whatever
00:46:12.460it inspired him at the very least to go look at it yeah which is the best that i could be hoping
00:46:18.060for in that moment but i'm just hoping it doesn't die on the vine there because then that means that
00:46:23.380you know maybe it will open up other avenues of him looking into other things because like you
00:46:28.800said there's a very especially western pennsylvania roman catholic religion that all the answers come
00:46:35.280from the priest nobody else like whoever whatever the priest says that's the way that it is and if
00:46:40.920it doesn't say that if the if the priest doesn't point them to scripture to justify what they just
00:46:47.720said then it isn't real so it's kind of like sort of chipping away at that a little bit where it's
00:46:52.320like hey have you considered that there's things that you may not know right like that there's
00:46:57.700other facets because you asked me so i'm giving because i've said to him originally i was like
00:47:02.460look you sure you want to know the answer because you're probably going to think i'm crazy i don't
00:47:06.520doubt you for thinking that i might be crazy yeah you know what i mean so i'll tell you if you want
00:47:10.700to know so i did tell them and then because i tried to explain it's like it answers stuff
00:47:18.420that was previously unanswerable who who are the satanic people who are all these different names
00:47:25.880and deities who are they praying to why are they doing this why the child sacrifice like the0.99
00:47:29.920the governments ran by these pedo satanic fucks like who are the who are they doing these things0.99
00:47:35.060for you think it's just like this satan entity or do you think that there's anything else to it1.00
00:47:39.960You know what I mean? So it answers some of those questions in that way, too, where it's like, you know, this is such a big topic that I'm trying to, in my head, figure out a way to condense it so we don't, because I know you guys are on a time limit.
00:47:55.020But, you know, like it answers questions to things that might have just been assumptions about what that means.
00:48:04.940You know, the evil entities, what they mean, where they come from.
00:48:07.940Again, I've seen things myself that, you know, they're sort of like I don't really as time goes on and you research and you hear other people's stories and do not like I know you got I know you're being humble top.
00:48:21.000You guys are doing a really good thing just putting this stuff out there.
00:48:24.640don't let anybody take that from you uh don't don't take it from yourself don't let matt give
00:48:29.700you the weird looks and don't let it like you guys are doing a really good thing there's there's a
00:48:34.400like like i said in the chat in the past two or more gathered in my name so there's people like
00:48:40.500myself where i can't find a church that would even come close to a place that i would consider going
00:48:45.500to because it gets everything from rainbow flags to israel flags and everything in between and so
00:48:51.580like when i when i can at the very least listen like i do a lot about people talking about some
00:48:58.320of these things it's a way for for people like myself to find a place that isn't if there's no
00:49:03.860fit anywhere else does that make sense yeah i mean i know i know like you you're running a podcast
00:49:12.460and and you know like you're it's a business for you and like you come out and you do
00:49:16.800yeah i don't know that you know how much some of this stuff that you might do especially on
00:49:21.360the straight bible how it can impact some people that actually can't find that anywhere else yeah
00:49:28.660so i'm just saying that you know don't don't don't underestimate your abilities because you
00:49:37.180know there you have a huge following you got there's people that are listening there's people
00:49:41.740that you know they take some of the words that that that they learned from listening to this
00:49:46.360and they apply it to their lives that's a big deal so for whatever it's worth I just wanted
00:49:52.760to make sure you guys knew that that like you know as simple I do the same thing it's like I'm
00:49:57.360just talking to a screen right now there's people listening there's people listening that may take
00:50:02.060the words that we're saying and apply them somehow to their lives and that can be a big deal so for
00:50:09.760whatever it's worth I just wanted to make sure I said those words to you because um like I said
00:50:14.780before just little stuff like even when when david was willing to come on and even give a
00:50:21.340shit about a person that he never met before like me and my daughter you got i don't think that i
00:50:27.580don't think that there's enough merit put into what that on an individual basis is so don't cut0.82
00:50:33.740yourself short guys you know you're doing really good things here and uh don't forget that um we
00:50:39.860appreciate that um but yeah it's something something i think about too um you never when
00:50:45.500you start a thing you don't know what it's going to become so whatever you're doing at the time
00:50:49.680you don't know how that's going to influence people and yeah i've seen that in a way uh
00:50:56.840oh there's panda actually your panda was she's the somebody that i'm kind of thinking about uh
00:51:01.700on a previous the previous episode of uh the q a where she was saying that she's feeling kind of
00:51:07.020depressed looking into some of these subjects that specifically we'd cover on nds and then i
00:51:15.020have to go back and do inventory and go okay uh what was my what did i say uh what did david's
00:51:23.900because now that's my responsibility what did i say what did david say and then the guests that
00:51:30.100we were talking to what did they bring and did we flavor this with enough comedy did we did we0.90
00:51:37.480take the shit out of it enough for people to like you know it's a serious topic but i don't want you0.94
00:51:41.940to go home and be depressed and like spiral thinking like the one person i guess we're just0.79
00:51:47.360naming names on this episode uh william ramsey he's like one of the best researchers we had him
00:51:51.960on and he's the one person that at the end we asked him if he's having fun and he was just like
00:51:57.000he almost told us to to like go fuck ourselves because you asked him he was having fun yeah0.98
00:52:03.120yeah this is not fun he's like we just covered the smiley face killers like what do you mean0.99
00:52:06.760am i having fun i was like i get it i understand you're not dead though are you having fun and
00:52:12.480wait so he just did some super deep dive depressing thing you're like hey you having fun
00:52:16.620he was like f you yeah and then he goes well are you having fun like what we just talked about are
00:52:21.240you having fun and i was like dog like we were wearing our hawaiian shirts our nds hawaiian
00:52:25.520shirts and i was like hell yeah look at my shirt i'm having fun he did not like that he hasn't
00:52:28.920spoken to us since but uh that's fine and if that like the audience that he's gonna draw
00:52:34.760they're gonna get really good information but they're gonna be sad well that's why all these
00:52:40.320things come back to um looking at jesus the author and finisher of our faith man like just
00:52:46.240continuing to look at jesus and that's where these passages come from where he says if your eye is
00:52:50.440single your whole body's full of light and then he says if your eye is evil your whole body's full
00:52:55.280of darkness you know you think if he said single maybe he'd say double but he says single and then
00:53:00.160the opposite of single is evil it's like keep your eye on christ dude stay focused on him that's why
00:53:04.860he says these passages like as moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness so shall the son of man
00:53:09.440be lifted up and when they when they looked at that when moses lifted the serpent in the wilderness
00:53:13.940those people were saved as they were looking at it and it does matter what you're looking at if
00:53:18.240you look at that's why they even say like the psychologists have to go see a psychologist at
00:53:22.120some point like you can only hear people's stories for or police officers like go like just go down
00:53:27.440the line of people who struggle in life like as what your spirit's taking in over and over and
00:53:32.720over like that's what you're going to get dude whatever you whatever you sow that is what you'll
00:53:37.380reap and so you do have to be careful getting into these dark topics and how much you're going to
00:53:41.240have it not to say you run for the hills if somebody comes in orders a mocha and they want
00:53:45.420to talk about the occult it's like sure i'll entertain you for a minute or two while we wait
00:53:48.760while I make your mocha, but I'm not sticking around for a long time to get into this stuff
00:53:52.480with you. I don't necessarily need to go into the darkness. I'm going to stay focused on Christ.
00:53:56.520And it's also what I've done and what I've been doing. So if you've been following since
00:54:02.760older comedy days and stuff where I'm making off-color jokes, I mean, not off-color,
00:54:10.200mostly about black people, but they're hilarious. Objectively.
00:54:14.160it's well here's the thing here's here's the problem with it i am doing this thing and i still
00:54:22.020am i like at the time i'm a believer in jesus christ i'm not going to church and i'm not
00:54:25.780seeking a relationship but like in my in my my heart i don't i don't have this like this chaos
00:54:34.880although i'm not like searching god but i'm doing a thing that is in a weird gray area
00:54:42.320and it's fine and i try to like keep it light and we try to like still have like a decent
00:54:48.300you know message for people's like look what i i'm a dad i'm a husband you know don't be a piece
00:54:54.780of crap but like here's some comedy well it's funny it comes back to jules is one the last0.92
00:55:00.380time i spoke with him uh after a show that we did with him paranoid american we were talking about0.93
00:55:06.760some people in the space people that are uh fans of the show and people that i know and like our
00:55:11.600friends now i like them and they started doing comedy shows and stuff like that because of me0.53
00:55:16.960yeah because of me some of their some of their shows are named after shit that i said
00:55:21.580and i watch it and they're funny but like as i'm like moving away from it and it's it sounds0.97
00:55:28.960hypocritical of me right because like i'm like oh i i said that i said nigger a bunch of times look0.98
00:55:33.420at me haha it's hilarious when i do it right but then as i'm moving away from it i look back and0.98
00:55:38.060they're like they're doing it and i'm like oh man like they're doing uh a version of what i did and
00:55:44.900like i gotta look at it now and i go oh like i hope when i did it it was like did it cut you know
00:55:52.820was it funny did i time it right or is it is it because sometimes it hits sometimes it doesn't
00:55:59.240sometimes it's just cringe like if you listen to toad drop a racial slur one out of 10 times
00:56:04.340its place correctly the other times it just sounds like you go oh like a car crash you know there's
00:56:10.240a way to do it yeah there's a way to do it and you probably delivery there's delivery and i'm not
00:56:15.160great at it but it has its place and sometimes i hit it sometimes i don't and i was explaining
00:56:21.820that i'm like man and some of those guys were mad at me because they're like i'm not doing that
00:56:25.480anymore you know well i mean here let me just add this real quick so yeah i think you're right and
00:56:31.120i could see exactly what you mean firstly like where i just for me as i'm reading through and
00:56:36.560trying to apply the scriptures and advocate like i'm searching for god and i'm telling people about
00:56:43.400you know me doing it whenever they come to me with issues but we all evolve i know i do um
00:56:49.660that the changes that happen it's like being in the gym you know you're going to get stronger
00:56:55.500things are going to change you're going to work on other things and i that's spiritually for me
00:57:00.400it's the same way so in the beginning when i first start trying to walk this path there was
00:57:06.160and people disagree on how many times it's said but it it's quoted at 365 times in the bible it
00:57:14.580says do not be afraid in some way shape or form so when the world especially during covid was
00:57:19.640coming at us so crazy it would be real easy to be afraid and i fell back on that do not be afraid
00:57:26.620constantly and i still do it now today but there's an evolution there where it's more than that now
00:57:31.900i'm learning more i'm and i'm able to share some stuff with people more right so i mean even for
00:57:38.900yourself and and everybody else i would imagine especially you know in the spiritual gym that
00:57:43.540you know where you start is not where you're gonna be over an amount of time if you stay on the path
00:57:48.660so you know just because you were there and you might find it cringy now i know i do the same
00:57:54.000thing where it's like, you know, it's, I try to explain something to somebody maybe a year ago
00:57:59.480and I find myself thinking about that particular subject differently. And I wish I could grab that
00:58:04.780person now if I seen them and say, Hey, look, I kind of refined this, right? You know what I mean?
00:58:08.920Like I got a different view on what I told you before. So I get where you're at, man. I get it.
00:58:13.320But I mean, I, I just, I just fall back on the idea that we're, we're growing, we're growing
00:58:18.760spiritually and things are going to change as that's happening. So the past got you to where
00:58:23.680you are and you know just keep moving forward for me that's what I keep looking at is that
00:58:28.960again my childhood I shouldn't be alive numerous circumstances where I should have died no doubt
00:58:35.140about it um I don't know why I'm still here but I think in part it's because I'm supposed to be
00:58:41.540walking this path I think it's part of it um even with the land there's something about me working
00:58:48.680there and doing that I feel like I'm supposed to I don't know if Matt gets that whenever he's on
00:58:53.320his land too but like when you're there tilling the soil and you're there doing the work and
00:58:59.220things are growing and life is coming from what you're doing um there's something spiritually
00:59:05.080there too it's like i feel like it's just part of the process and and and as time goes on that's
00:59:10.960going to change as we expand do you think you think your trees love you yeah i don't tree hug
00:59:16.700but i would i would if they start producing more fruit like i mean i don't i go up and i check on
00:59:23.300the orchard as often as i can to see you know is there is there a fungus is there bugs eating them
00:59:29.540i care for them i don't hug them but i mean they're they're beneficial they're they're they
00:59:34.660have the ability to sustain life no no no do you think they love you not do you love them do you
00:59:40.860think they love you i don't know i don't think i don't know uh i don't know i don't know that i
00:59:49.440have ever seen that um i've never seen them perk up when i got there uh but i think it might be
00:59:58.000possible you know because listen there's also there's also the theory that like they have like
01:00:02.540a nervous system the trees are actually have a nerve like plants have a nervous system their
01:00:07.700roots they're allegedly there's ways for them in i've read articles about this where if you
01:00:13.240limb them especially at the wrong time that there's ways that they can measure that there's
01:00:17.600like a panic that puts out i don't know if you've ever heard of this before but like that their the
01:00:22.420roots of their nervous system they kind of talk to each other through the nervous systems what
01:00:26.060their ability to care about i wouldn't know but i do know there's things in this world that we don't
01:00:30.700truly understand all of it about a tree may not just be a tree well a prune the pruning process
01:00:36.460that does the shock a lot of times especially i don't know if you grow mulberries where you're at
01:00:40.300but you definitely can if you hard prune a mulberry that shock that happens is the tree thinking oh
01:00:45.360know i might die i must produce fruit i must produce the thing that's going to go to the next
01:00:49.720generation it can't die with me so boom it explodes with fruit that's what happens in that
01:00:54.220pruning process but everything in the nature is built like that to survive dude like like everything
01:00:59.600is designed to try to kill a bug dude like everything that's alive wants to stay alive
01:01:04.560and wants to like further the next generation not to get on another topic but like that's where we0.66
01:01:10.400get a little funny with the boomers we're like y'all don't care about the next generation like
01:01:14.480That just seems so crazy to me to be old and especially have somewhat unlimited resources and not be like, yo, what can I do with this to better the next generation, to help the next generation, to leave something for somebody else?0.94
01:15:12.920You go to the birth of Jesus and you make sure that you're like a farmer in that field.
01:15:19.120And maybe you can even go see Jesus after he's born.
01:15:22.520But when the angels are singing because he's born and all the shepherds are in the field looking at that, that must have been really, really cool.
01:15:33.080And then you can hang out for the next 33 years or so.0.74
01:15:35.540I would try to get out of there before the crucifixion because that sucks.
01:15:38.300but uh you hang out and just be like a you know watch him do stuff and he probably that's the
01:15:44.180thing too like if you're a time traveler going back in jesus time like he'd probably be like
01:15:48.080you're not supposed to be here but watch this you know like yeah but don't you ever think that like
01:15:52.880you can like romanticize about another time period or another place maybe you go on vacation
01:15:58.620you're like oh and in your mind you sort of say oh if i lived here my life would be so good like
01:16:02.780look at this or if you just you just think of another time period there was no running there's
01:16:07.280no running water no no maybe not that time period but i'm just saying like whatever some wonderful
01:16:11.900time period some wonderful place and i'm because i remember like daydreaming like that and i was
01:16:15.580like why don't i just do that in my life okay this is when i'd go back i'd go back to when toy story
01:16:20.820one was dropped and in that time period i think that's pay attention okay that's like 97 yeah yeah
01:16:28.920oh you're a baby i'd go there i'd watch i'd watch toy story again and then i'd buy bitcoin i buy as
01:16:34.340much bitcoin as possible and that's like i don't know that's like a monetary gain that's that's a
01:16:39.480really low level thing that's a low level that's your thing you make a lot of money i get it no but
01:16:44.080like wouldn't you no wouldn't you do that of all the things here when i picture time travel i don't
01:16:50.260picture like just a stay like you know like you're because i don't know if i if it's like here you can
01:16:55.300pick where you want to go um but you're staying there i'm not going back to antediluvian then
01:17:00.500And I picture it more along the lines of being able to jump back out because it's like I'm not going to that chaos just to satisfy curiosity, knowing that anything is possible.
01:17:08.680Can you bring anything with you or is this just a viewing?
01:28:13.240no you're not going to have a cell phone so that you can dye your hair blue and pretend to be the
01:28:17.720person that you've seen no the answer is no this is where and you know when you
01:28:22.300my daughter's four my other son is six and the other one is 12 now that game that game gets
01:28:31.340rough dude with the whole no yeah oh yeah it's chaos constantly but i do all this for them man
01:28:36.020like that's it has nothing to do with me i think that's the spirit of god man it's like the people
01:28:40.540in this generation who are going to think about the next generation and set their life up in
01:28:44.540sacrifice of their life for the good of the next generation i just it just seems like that's where
01:28:49.580this is gonna have to go man and i'm having to learn but i have to jam i don't mean to be rude
01:28:54.980but i'm not my wife's here and i gotta no it's all good i was just gonna say i don't want to
01:28:58.900keep you long okay but maybe we can hang uh next time i come to pa for deer season in november
01:29:03.300maybe we can hang hell yeah all right bro thanks for having me on man thanks for being on dude i
01:29:08.920appreciate it all right brother do your thing i just gotta jam okay all right get out of here
01:29:14.080all right uh top do you do you gotta go soon i got a few more i just had what i have a few more
01:29:21.200minutes we could do like another 10 15 okay cool all i wanted to say is that uh just to touch on
01:29:28.300the thing that i was just saying that i don't i don't do any of this stuff for myself it's extremely
01:29:34.620important that i always try to say that is like don't say no the answer that owen benjamin i i
01:29:41.480always quote this the real n-word is no so the ability to be able to say no means that there
01:29:47.940might be consequences with it you may not be able to do certain things we experienced this during
01:29:52.780during covid where like if you tell them no i'm not wearing a mask you can't go in a store
01:29:56.620you better be able to feed yourself right um you say no to certain things because there's a system
01:30:03.720that's in place primarily there to control you that's what the flock cameras are that's what the
01:30:09.020that's what the the cell phones are there's a manipulation and a control mechanism that's
01:30:13.240happening constantly but the ability to say no to it means that you have to do things for yourself
01:30:19.100you can't just go buy them or you can't buy your way out of it or you have to do the work in my
01:30:24.200view right like that's the only answer is that like that you have we have to do the work to stay1.00
01:30:29.580away from it i think the amish kind of have it down they don't have to pay taxes they don't deal0.99
01:30:35.680with energy if the power goes out doesn't affect them at all and i'm telling you if this is for
01:30:41.180everybody listening we have because you're here we have a pretty big audience i work for a power
01:30:46.280company power distribution i also worked in powerhouses where they generate the power i i know
01:30:52.140the ins and the outs of it the power grid is extremely fragile whatever you're imagining it's
01:30:58.560worse so have a backup plan if energy is important to you a generator something solar whatever it is
01:31:05.620that you can do you have that because that's the other part of saying no that you never know what
01:31:10.680it can lead to as far as like what they're willing to cut you off of right or what you might have the
01:31:15.800ability to pay for because the other thing is the energy prices are going up are you making enough
01:31:20.480money if it gets absorbent right like where you it's just unobtainable you can't keep the lights
01:31:25.020on at certain times because it costs so much that's a reality for some poor people that like
01:31:30.620the i have to go to people's houses at times and you know like they're like we don't use that much
01:31:35.200power and my bill is five hundred dollars right this is a single person home so you know what i'm
01:31:41.000saying i i say all that to point out because again like we talked about in the beginning of the show
01:31:46.260somehow it always comes back to self-sufficiency i see that as the key i see that as the way to try
01:31:53.760to alleviate some of the bullshit that's associated with the problems that we face
01:31:58.420as a society, you have to be able to say no. But when you say no, you also have to be able to0.96
01:32:03.700supplement whatever that is that they're willing to take from you, whatever that might be.
01:32:08.000Have a backup plan for power. I say this all the time. You have no idea how fragile it is and how
01:32:15.060easy it is to take it down. And there is no switch. There is no switch to just turn it back on.
01:32:21.160sometimes they can do repairs but if it's something really big you need power to generate
01:32:26.800power that's why there's diesel gas uh generators at substations because you can't just turn it back
01:32:32.820on i'm saying that because i always bring it back to self-sufficiency i always bring it back to the
01:32:38.960idea that if you can't grow your own food and you can't take care of yourself if you don't have the
01:32:42.920knowledge if you depend on the government or the system to survive it will be used against you0.68
01:32:48.160yeah man uh i know he's like matt matt bust my balls for it too but i'm like hey matt0.58
01:32:54.580you know it's and it's not an excuse like i've i've grown some stuff but i am so focused on0.70
01:33:02.860the the things that i'm doing now and the things that i'm building and i'm like i have to build
01:33:09.060something's just like yo you have to build this so all of my attention has been i mean and also
01:33:14.780homeschooling my kids and you know taking care of them because I'm I guess technically a stay-at-home
01:33:19.940dad like I work here a couple hours but then after that boom I'm right back with them and I'm
01:33:24.100doing stuff with them and it's like to get outside and really tend to a farm I'm like I don't have
01:33:30.540the time between all the stuff I'm doing but I'm like I know I have to make the time that's an
01:33:36.420interesting conversation too it's like wherever you're putting your attention to it's like how
01:33:39.300much attention do I want to put to a thing because I know when I put my attention to it it'll grow
01:33:44.460But what's going to bear the most fruit for me? And I don't know why, for some reason, I've chosen this stupid thing that I'm doing now to bear actual fruit, and it does, but it's not actual fruit. You know what I mean?0.91
01:33:58.160Yes, I do. But let me just add this because it's worth saying. Whatever way God is pushing you, that's the way you should obviously go.
01:34:05.800Now, the other side to this is what I frequently try to reiterate, especially with certain people like Drew, for example, wants to be one of the people that he wants to move away from the city.
01:34:16.640That dude is trapped beyond anything I can even imagine.
01:34:19.580I don't know that he's ever going to be able to get out of New York City.
01:34:22.380I say that because like if you find yourself in a spot where you're not capable, know somebody that is.
01:34:28.340You know, like you have Matt that's not far from you.
01:34:30.360You know, like there's always that fallback where community is the biggest resource no matter what.
01:34:34.840like people are the resource so like even if you're not the guy with the farm you friends with
01:34:40.760the guy with the farm you're going to be able to trade or do things to help each other because we
01:34:45.560do that now anyway right like we all do favors for our friends anyway we all help each other out
01:34:49.580think matt's gonna like if the power would go out you think matt's not gonna help or somebody like
01:34:54.200that might not help that's the thing is is to have the community and if it's broken up where
01:34:59.620you know this person does this and that person does that you're just that much stronger not
01:35:04.340everybody has to be that guy but it's good to at least know the guy yeah no that's that's good
01:35:09.440advice too and but you know there's still a certain inadequacy where i'm like i really can't
01:35:13.840grow anything i've tried i suck at it but it's just like one of the things i can't i i've tried
01:35:20.660so many times uh and i'm like yeah i just i just couldn't it even got to the point where my chickens
01:35:26.280i gave away my birds because uh i got some guineas i had like a really nice bird far like
01:35:31.660collection there was a lot of them they're giving me eggs and stuff and then i got guineas and
01:35:34.900the guineas started calling in predators and then there was like a bear attack that killed a pig
01:35:41.480somewhere that called in more predators and now i'm just getting the birds picked off one by one
01:35:47.320and i'm here or i am doing like most people don't know how much back-end work comes with
01:35:54.900like a podcast i'm glad that you're hosting this one because i don't have as much work to do after
01:35:59.640but it's like yeah it's like you know I don't know an hour 30 minutes beforehand and I got to get
01:36:05.580here and then an hour an hour and a half after processing and making sure everything is going
01:36:09.520most of the time we do so now it's the full work day it's like like most I'm sure you know no
01:36:14.580excuses you're working but then I'm also homeschooling so I'm like okay where's my time
01:36:19.160where's my time going what's the most efficient thing and it got to a point where even my birds
01:36:23.100my birds are getting killed one by one I'm like I had to give them to the neighbors because I'm like
01:36:26.120if i keep him here i don't have the time to post up with my gun and wait for the fox to come you
01:36:32.160know and he's gonna come god i can relate to that so much um so i do a nine to five and i farm and
01:36:39.420we homeschool and i have no time for anything else i can't even imagine trying to squeeze in
01:36:43.800what you do on a regular basis as well trust me i get it because the other part of that which i'm
01:36:48.860really glad you brought up and we can kind of end on this because i don't want to keep you too long
01:36:52.680But there is an entire frame of knowledge that has been lost to modern man that is exactly what you're describing as far as like being able to grow a thing.
01:37:05.680A lot of people picture it as like you just stick a seed in the ground and you're good to go.
01:37:11.680And then even managing animals and predators and understanding why having a bird that screams all the time, like a guinea, why that can be a pain in the ass.0.98
01:37:22.340because we had them for a short time too something interesting about guineas real quick is that we0.98
01:37:25.980had one that was killed by a predator two other ones died from depression they just sat there and
01:37:32.140died i didn't even know that was a thing there was such a wide happened to yeah yeah yeah there's
01:37:37.440such a wide range of knowledge that like we have lost because of the modern conveniences you know
01:37:43.700like that we just have no idea how to do it's and i said this in the past it's like you know babes
01:37:48.360in the woods if we're if we have to go to the system the government whatever you want to call
01:37:53.440it in order to be fed and cared for we can't say no we can't say no to it because you don't have
01:37:59.880an alternative and there's all these people all the time they want to gun up and go take over
01:38:03.960the government i'm like you have no idea what that means you have no idea the ramifications
01:38:07.880of what happens next you're not thinking past the moment that you're in there's an entire ecosystem
01:38:13.860attached to it that you're dependent on. You have no idea in three days when the trucks stop running
01:38:18.860because there's no more diesel, what happens next? You don't know that. But I mean, I say that
01:38:24.420because there is an entire... One example, I'll let you go. We have a lot of poison ivy that grows
01:38:32.680around here. There's another plant that often grows not too far from poison ivy called a jewelweed.
01:38:38.920These jewelweeds, there's different names for them around here, it's called a jewelweed.
01:38:41.660they will negate the poison from the leaves of the poison ivy if you smash it up and put it on
01:38:48.100where you think the affected area is so few people know that and it's just an example that you don't
01:38:54.520have to run to the store to go get the fix for it if you get poison ivy there's so much of that
01:39:01.020that we have lost and that's why we can't take care of ourselves unless we at least try to regain
01:39:07.140some of that knowledge and a lot of it for me is through trial and error i'm going to fail over and
01:39:12.340over and over and i'm going to learn from it and i'm going to try to reapply it because the whole
01:39:15.620idea is is that i'm not doing this for myself i'm gaining knowledge i'm building something so that
01:39:20.660my kids have a greater starting point than i did and then i can hand it to them they'll know more
01:39:26.500they'll be able to do more and they'll be able to go through their trials to figure out the best way
01:39:30.820to do what they can with what they have and i really appreciate you coming on dude you have
01:39:35.940have no idea what this means to me it's a big deal I'm really glad you're here oh yeah dude I like to
01:39:40.520I like to come back and uh discuss some more stuff but yeah like you said that's uh that's the game
01:39:46.300that I think and I figuring out how to do it the best is gonna be the trick my dad post office0.95
01:39:54.320worker before that his mom was uh on welfare you know just a single mom from Puerto Rico didn't
01:40:01.960even speak English he got a job he was able to have a house for me growing up and now I'm able
01:40:08.360to do more so there's like steps on the ladder that come come along with this process that we're
01:40:14.620doing it and it's just it's a constant reevaluation of like am I doing more am I am I making that0.89
01:40:20.400step also is this step a superficial step is this just like a stupid thing what am I what am I giving0.97
01:40:25.920to my kids what am I passing down is it a garden am I passing them down a house is it money does0.96
01:40:30.820does this stuff matter i don't know i'm doing my best but i i'm they're gonna i'm gonna leave
01:40:35.480them something i don't know what it is but they'll get they'll get something hopefully they like it
01:40:40.300i just bought a new guitar so maybe he'll like that guitar a couple years as somebody that grew
01:40:46.320up without a decent father if that's all that you would leave them they'd be way better off
01:40:52.240for whatever it's worth i know you're gonna do way more than that but if just having a decent
01:40:57.380childhood and a good father is way more than some kids have the opportunity to have that alone can
01:41:04.160be enough to make the next generation better than the last well for um i'll say i think the most
01:41:11.420important thing here we'll bring it we'll bring it in with this but it's like i could leave them
01:41:15.740a lot of things and and we're i'm always thinking about the things because that'll help make it'll
01:41:21.340help make their life easier and I also want them when they are when they have kids and they're
01:41:27.260adults like we we had the property and is my parents have a house on my property and I have
01:41:31.860a house and I'm like well there's two houses here for my two kids and it's like they have a step up
01:41:36.100if we can maintain and keep this yes they are good to go but what does all that matter what
01:41:42.360does a man gain if you lose your soul right so it's like what are we actually leaving what am I
01:41:47.260leaving them behind i'm hoping like you know maybe they do watch some tower gang stuff and0.97
01:41:51.520they go damn dad was like kind of retarded and then maybe they watch some nds stuff and they go0.97
01:41:55.540damn dad was kind of retarded still and then maybe they watch some straight bible stuff and they go1.00
01:41:59.680hey that actually mattered a little bit you know what was dad talking about this whole time what1.00
01:42:04.680what was he trying to tell us when when he was raising us you know what what were the things
01:42:09.820that he that mattered to him and uh yeah if i don't know i'm hoping like that this digital record
01:42:16.520that we're leaving behind there's going to be a lot of a lot of stuff but you could watch it and
01:42:21.780you can sort of know who i am and uh maybe my kids will watch that later on and then they can
01:42:27.960look back not just how i live with them but like also like yeah this thing matters i'm going to
01:42:32.780look a little more into like matt's grandfather left him a bible and that's that's the reason
01:42:37.520he's here now nobody else wanted it so like that's a thing that mattered and that's like
01:42:42.240cheap this is like 12 how much does this thing cost but that's what that's what you got and
01:42:48.900that's what sticks with you and that's what matters and grows you into what you are and
01:42:52.160what you have and the things you can do today and uh yeah so full circle is like all that other
01:42:59.320stuff that uh we talk about it's fun it's uh mysterious it's it's sexy whatever it doesn't
01:43:08.360matter uh but yeah it does it i guess it doesn't really matter it's just interesting stuff
01:43:15.940and the thing that does matter i'm trying to present to people now so i'm hoping that they
01:43:21.680see it yeah they will they will i'm telling you from an outside i'm sorry but they will
01:43:26.400and um it's funny the parallels the synchronicities between what you're saying
01:43:30.720in part the reason why i started recording the progress on my property was so that my kids could
01:43:35.420see it later because they were all so young when it started so that they had an idea and in part
01:43:40.180also some of these conversations like you and i are having if i'm dead and gone or whatever the
01:43:45.420case may be they can go back what would dad do what would dad say how did he you know what was
01:43:50.320he talking about this is sort of just for them like you said that digital catalog it's funny you
01:43:55.580said that because it's some of the same reasons why i do it as well um my brother in christ top
