00:05:27.020My grandmother, she was clairvoyant, you know, New Age practitioner kind of a character,
00:05:31.680and I think that opened up a lot of spiritual doorways, you know, so the future generations.
00:05:36.240I'm not the only one in my family line who's got a lot of strange stuff going on, and so
00:05:40.660So those experiences in childhood made me fascinated with the supernatural and the unexplainable.
00:05:46.240And and, you know, I wouldn't accept people's dismissal of the phenomenon.
00:05:51.360They would say, oh, it's just a dream. Oh, it's just this and that.
00:05:53.880Or you didn't really see what you thought you saw. And that bled into conspiracy theory.
00:05:58.420And I was also unwilling to accept the dismissal of, you know, conspiracies.
00:06:03.040If you told me they weren't spraying the skies, it was very obvious to me.
00:06:05.980If you told me there wasn't symbolism in pop culture, in Hollywood, in the music industry, I would say clearly there is.
00:06:13.320And so I wouldn't take no for an answer. From a young age, I was super obsessed with it.
00:06:19.040And and it took a long time. But, you know, experience after experience and what is now amounted to 20 years of conspiracy sleuthing at around year 16, 17, I pivoted.
00:06:34.280I had an experience, and maybe we'll get into it today, that was inherently demonic, and I wasn't raised religious, but from that moment forward, I pivoted, I oriented towards Christ, and one thing led to another, and I ended up linking up with this guy.
00:06:51.820we started doing this show and i'm very much in a position now where i feel like you know if it's
00:06:57.400a refining fire if it's the trials and tribulations that god puts you through to prepare you for a
00:07:01.720thing all of those things the supernatural experiences the conspiracy sleuthing all led
00:07:06.280in my opinion to this this place here where we're having conversations with guys like you
00:07:10.960um and and you know so it's it's been a weird long journey but you know we had that discussion
00:07:17.940with you on on that recent episode and i asked you a similar question like what why do you think
00:07:22.880these things happen to you and um you know so it's a generational thing maybe i tend to think
00:07:29.380that it is and uh it's a it's a domino effect a very strange odyssey that leads to this point
00:07:34.740but yeah that's that's how i got here interesting man sometimes when we have these experiences when
00:07:40.300we're younger and we like accept those experiences it's it's it's undeniable this stuff is real yeah
00:07:46.740We know it's real. We have these experiences. Can I ask what took place when you were 16, 17, did you say?
00:07:53.120Well, no, I'm sorry. What I meant was like 16, 17 years into my conspiracy journey.
00:07:59.140So by the time I had an experience that that oriented me towards Christ, I was already a married man with a with a with a child.
00:08:07.640But I'll give you the the sort of the abridged version of it.
00:08:11.960Um, what, what ends up happening is, uh, I think I was feeding something.
00:08:17.400I was in a sort of depressive state and I was anxious and I was angry.
00:08:21.960I was resentful and, um, and I was distant, you know, in my marriage and I was distant
00:19:56.640And if you, biblically speaking, Christ has a tendency to appear to those who are at their lowest.
00:20:02.040I would say that all the things that I've been through in my life never had a tremendous care of self, but as a caretaker, as a father, and as a husband, this is something I really care about.
00:20:13.540Lots of things can happen to me, and I'll be fine, but this is happening to them, and I've got to deal with it.
00:20:16.800And so the desperation was like off the charts, dude.
00:20:19.700And when I tell you, it stopped like on a dime.
00:20:25.580Nothing happened in that place from that moment forward.
00:20:29.000And, you know, ultimately, it still took a while.
00:20:33.740What I did was I oriented towards God.
00:20:37.120I went, OK, you've got my attention now and you've definitely got, I would say, something akin to loyalty because I'm not going to turn my back on somebody.
00:20:45.960that came to me in that hour of desperation and helped me with possibly the most important thing
00:20:51.700in my life can i can i say something go ahead there's an observation about this point of the
00:20:56.160story that i always make it's like if you get somebody in and not to insult david please go
00:21:01.580ahead i'm gonna insult david all right like like dudes like me and david we're not like smart guys
00:21:07.820intellectuals right that you would say like uh we're not going to give you a good debate thesis
00:21:13.160We're going to give you rough-around-the-edges commentary with a little bit of comedy.
00:21:17.400If you ask me if I read a book, the answer will always be no.
00:21:21.440So shout out to Seth Kicklighter and his book.
00:21:26.980But there's a thing about that kind of person, especially like the blue-collar dude, the guy that's like middlingly intelligent, can express a thought but isn't overly intellectual, where something like this happens to you and you go,
00:29:42.360And I'm like, yeah, that's exactly that's exactly what needs to be said there, because the comp the conflation between these two things gets very confusing.
00:29:51.640And you start to, you know, the system in the man. Right. Yeah. Two different things. Yeah, it's but I mean, you know, that's it's been it's been a whirlwind, dude.
00:30:00.820And I would say that after me and top linked up and we did this show and there's a lot of comedy and there's a lot of, you know, really crass language and we're assholes and we're terrible people.
00:30:10.120And so, but within that show, there is this orientation towards Christ and there's this analyzing conspiracy through this new lens.
00:30:22.320For me, it's a new lens, this biblical lens.
00:30:25.800And it just continues to yield good fruit over and over and over again.
00:30:30.920And that's the thing is like people go, people will see, you know, especially online though, but, oh, you're a Christian.0.70
00:30:36.420Therefore, you don't know the coveted shit that I know.0.94
00:30:39.060you don't know the the the mystery school shit that I know um and your worldview is simplistic
00:30:44.440and I'm like both all of those things are incorrect I'm aware of the shit that you know
00:30:49.320maybe I don't know it as intimately as you that's fine I'm not like this you know higher
00:30:52.720intellectual or whatever but I'm aware of the crap that you believe um and I believed it to
00:30:57.900some degree at some point as well but when I tell you that once I started to apply this lens
00:31:03.480over and over and over again it doesn't fail it makes sense of everything every system that i
00:31:10.500look at every conspiracy that i look at i look at i go oh okay yeah the bible actually does
00:31:15.200address this it's just not what we're taught at all do you think that's why christianity seems to
00:31:21.380be attacked the most and when i say attack the most i mean all religions get attacked but with
00:31:27.000christianity especially it seems to kind of be accepted by the mainstream would you guys agree
00:31:32.620yeah i mean you came from the uk as well you came from a comedy realm top so i'm sure you
00:31:38.220could speak to like how easy it is to dunk on it you know to a round of applause yeah i but
00:31:44.140you know what christians have also done that themselves in my opinion uh i grew up in the
00:31:48.920church so i did see a lot of the cringe aspects of it i see a lot of i i was kicked out of the
00:31:54.580church for, in a sense, being who I am. I spoke up and I spoke firmly to somebody in a position
00:32:04.200of power, was kicked out. They deserve the reputation that they get. And so that's one
00:32:10.840thing. But yeah, within the comedy realm, within America in general, it's very easy to dunk on
00:32:16.080Christians because it's accepted. And the more you kind of look at it, you're like, well, why0.98
00:32:21.360is it accepted and also why does everybody go out of their way like adam green being the latest dude
00:32:27.360he's uh he's like a gnostic on on twitter and he hates jesus christ but one of the most interesting
00:32:34.980things that popped up about him recently i was like oh so jesus christ never existed is his big
00:32:39.860thing and uh denying the denying god and all this stuff but he named his daughter khali after like
00:32:46.140the god of destruction of like you know indian mythos and i'm just kind of like very interesting
00:32:50.840So you'll adhere to that, but attack Jesus Christ freely, and that is okay by everybody.0.72
00:32:57.820You can't really, you know, you can't attack Judaism.0.96
01:05:22.540But I recognize what they do culturally.0.99
01:05:24.480it's a slow you know it's a slow path that you head down I know a lot of these girls that I used
01:05:30.580to go to school with that would memorize the spells they would talk about their favorite
01:05:34.820characters and they would go to cons and they would dress in the robes and things and I know
01:05:40.000a lot of those girls that are now adults and it's now like that routine spell casting and
01:05:45.660offerings and stuff is it's part of their everyday life and I think we've crossed this line now
01:05:50.480where we're watching a real return of unironic paganism unironic witchcraft yeah and it is so
01:05:59.780prevalent it's super prevalent and i you know if you just it works it works yeah well that's the
01:06:04.500reason that it's prevalent is because it does yield results when people don't quite understand
01:06:08.660what they're dealing with i think it'll yield results if you're uh if you're an idiot if that0.50
01:06:14.560and i say that like in a kind way like i don't know i like he's the guy told me god sent some
01:06:20.180random dude with a scar on his face that was doing all these and he told me she's a witch and
01:06:25.420i had nothing to do i had no recourse to say except for like all right you know cool um so
01:06:35.300my wife is sick she's really sick and uh like we had moved to florida and we had some savings from
01:06:43.080the house that we had just sold but we bought a house and now i have this money and we're like
01:06:48.500well this is like you know if shit goes sideways but i i decided i was like hey listen we got to
01:06:55.340get you up and running because if we don't have if i don't have a wife here uh why did i move my
01:07:01.660family like my family for like a good reason um so we spent uh so much money on uh doctors and
01:07:11.940and she's a nurse so like she was aware of like the the western medical system and
01:07:16.580uh the medications that they want to put you on and she didn't want to go on those things for life
01:07:21.420so like between supplements um between we did some like uh frequency stuff which was actually
01:07:30.340very interesting other kind of uh heliopathic doctors but all this stuff is very expensive
01:07:36.780none of it's covered by insurance so 15 to 20 000 later like fuck but she's better um
01:07:46.180and then i start doing the show with david it goes in a certain direction and the craziest thing is
01:07:53.940that like uh so like i don't know even though i could have uh probably taken this witchcraft
01:07:59.660thing seriously immediately and battled it in a certain way i wasn't equipped and i didn't know
01:08:04.360how i also wasn't thinking that way i was thinking more like this doesn't happen
01:08:09.620or that because it's not real yeah this isn't real um but i guess it was real and you know
01:08:17.300vicky joy kind of put that into perspective for me and like it all hit me at once on that episode
01:08:21.160as i'm thinking about it but we do this show and the first sponsor that we get like who the
01:08:27.620fuck sponsors a show that hasn't hasn't even started really yeah yeah um first sponsor we
01:08:33.020get frequency healing technology sending us checks wow uh sending us stuff helping us get off
01:08:41.240shout out to matt reif um for whatever reason uh second sponsor we get supplement parasite cleanse
01:08:48.580company uh for no reason again a show that has no business doing any of this stuff uh has no
01:08:55.060business even getting sponsors oh yeah it's so hard to get sponsors it doesn't matter if it's
01:09:00.800early in the career of a show or late in the career of the show i know guys that have been
01:09:04.860doing this for a long time that still have you know trouble doing and and you know i've tried
01:09:09.500to secure my own sponsors it's real hit or miss but these things just showed up yeah next the
01:09:15.340next sponsor like uh health care health care like health product company because like now again my
01:09:20.460wife is like after we got her like healed up now everything is has to be organic and all this stuff0.97
01:09:25.540and i get it she's like she's not fucking around yeah uh sponsorship from then this is within the0.69
01:09:29.820first six months of the show and it's like all that money that i uh i thought i like lost spending0.83
01:09:36.960on my wife is just like here's back and more wow i don't know yeah you explain it to me yeah
01:09:44.020um that got me chills man yeah and then i guess uh to top it off after the leesburg event when uh
01:09:53.220you know like we told like leesburg the town that we got kicked out of that we wanted to do the the
01:09:57.260coffee shop uh studio on top of the coffee shop because it seemed like that's what we're supposed
01:10:01.980to do like oh all signs point to doing this and then and then it falls through fantastically he's
01:10:05.960like you're not supposed guys like you don't work with that guy anymore um you don't you don't do
01:10:11.580this type of comedy anymore you don't work in this town uh but you were close you're close you still
01:10:18.060do comedy you work with a different uh white guy and uh yeah coffee shop but not on top of one
01:10:24.540inside of one yeah and it's like all right and this is what happened out of uh realistically
01:10:29.320out of nowhere like this is it none of it actually makes any sense so we're just doing
01:10:34.380whatever we do and uh that's it actually look at that i printed this out and like we have these uh0.85
01:10:41.440oh here we go yeah this is a good sign this is a this is a latin word retardio return to god0.95
01:10:48.820um let me see if i can put that a little closer yeah so that's awesome man yeah retard retard0.94
01:10:55.660means return dio means god and when you put them together you know it sounds like retard which is0.90
01:11:01.900funny because that's all of our branding yeah so like it's one of the things that i stuck to that's0.93
01:11:05.740like i made this little thing with our nephilim skull skulls on it but retard dio return to god0.91
01:11:11.360It just means, like, be completely, be clear, not in the way that you'll hear with new age people, but, like, be open to how God wants to work in your life or work through you.0.93
01:11:32.860Don't fight it, because when you fight it, it's going to happen anyway.
01:11:36.620hi there you go we just passed like a i think we just passed like five million
01:11:41.540audio listens at least over the last two years so uh yeah if that lady's still alive that came
01:11:49.980true even though i said no yeah um that's funny yeah but that's who i am i take the hard path
01:11:56.480like you gotta like really kicking and screaming that's who i am um maybe that's who i'll always be
01:12:03.680i don't know david's david's seen me kicking and screaming a lot of times uh with my attitude but
01:12:09.940uh seems like god just keeps getting what he wants though yeah at a certain point you stop
01:12:15.260fighting but also i think the kicking and screaming is part of the the journey yeah it's part of like
01:12:20.160uh i wouldn't be able to be who i am like uh i think a good point like at the at the leesburg
01:12:27.700theater when the guy tells you you can't do this without all that kicking and screaming and that
01:12:31.860Like the ability to look at the passer and be like, you're doing something wrong.
01:12:35.780I know no one else is telling you here, but I'm going to tell you and I'm not going to say it nice.
01:12:42.520That'll get you beat up and scuffed up a little bit.
01:12:45.320But I think you kind of need that because I wouldn't have been able to tell that guy no.
