00:00:00.000
We are being hypnotized by people like this, newsreaders, politicians, teachers, lecturers.
00:00:10.780
We are in a country and in a world that is being run by unbelievably sick people.
00:00:19.200
The chasm between what we're told is going on and what is really going on is absolutely
00:00:27.500
It's like we all know what's going down, but no one's saying shit what happened to the
00:00:33.300
These motherfuckers are controlling this now, and no one's talking about how they made us
00:00:38.460
And everybody's just walking around, heading to clouds, and won't awake until we're dead
00:00:43.660
But hell, it's too late, we need to be ready to raise up.
00:00:48.220
Everybody is slaves, only some are aware that the government really...
00:00:55.320
So this is, I'm joined today for the Top Lobster Show, episode number two, with my good friend
00:01:03.260
So you've probably seen him on The Walking Dead and The Punisher and a couple...
00:01:12.440
My alias I use is also my business name, so I use Nico Envision.
00:01:25.280
So I do a lot of cinematic editing and recording in the field, and then I kind of like to get
00:01:30.980
crazy with it and creative, where I add a lot of transitions, a lot of slides, a lot
00:01:41.460
I like to sync the music to it, because I think it just makes it pop a little bit more.
00:01:45.280
It gives it a little bit more motion and dynamic.
00:01:47.240
And I've been doing it now for probably for about seven years.
00:02:00.640
I showed him the little rinky-dink intro video I was working on.
00:02:11.940
But as we were sitting here talking, before we were even doing any of this stuff, we just
00:02:16.700
naturally start talking about interesting things.
00:02:23.520
And you do, I guess you're into, you do some psychedelics.
00:02:28.260
You do a lot of, how do we start the conversation?
00:02:35.440
I think we were referring to times that where I had tried psychedelics.
00:02:41.520
And instead of doing them for recreational purposes, like I've always went into it with
00:02:50.160
So I felt like it's always kept me out of that headspace where people say, you need to
00:02:56.000
You need to feel a certain way for you to do it.
00:02:57.960
Instead, I said, no, I feel bad about something right now.
00:03:04.240
I could personally say that I've never had what some would consider a bad trip, or they
00:03:08.680
felt like they were too scared and they had to hide under their blanket or go inside the
00:03:13.600
So all my experiences have been really eye-opening.
00:03:17.840
And I've learned a lot about myself and a lot about just things around the world.
00:03:23.760
Um, just not, not physical things that you can see, but more of like the feeling of what
00:03:28.380
you get when you're out in nature and when you, uh, and just paying attention a little
00:03:32.100
bit more from taste all the way to visuals, everything you learn.
00:03:39.140
So for the audience that doesn't know, he's also, you're kind of like an outfitter, right?
00:03:46.960
So I have a show, um, that right now is a little bit on pause while I'm training my
00:03:57.660
Um, I envisioned it studios and it's pretty cool.
00:04:00.340
I just did some cinematic hog hunting videos with the dogs that we run.
00:04:03.880
And it's, it's probably one of the most primitive ways to go hunting.
00:04:07.200
And I think one of the most fair ways to go hunting because maybe 60 to 70% of the time,
00:04:14.500
I mean, their bodies are stout and they're made to cut through.
00:04:18.140
And meanwhile, we're praying that the dogs can hold them up long enough that we can get
00:04:23.980
Cause I've, I've told people about it, but it doesn't do it justice because it's just
00:04:29.460
It's, it's, um, it's pretty much straightforward.
00:04:32.340
So we do have electronics that we put onto the dogs.
00:04:34.780
We use GPS collars, um, and we have GPS trackers as well.
00:04:38.700
Um, some people decide to outfit their dogs with actual Kevlar armor.
00:04:43.120
There's different, um, companies that, that will ask for your dog's measurements.
00:04:47.820
And the Kevlar really does help because as you know, hogs grow, hogs grow tusks.
00:04:53.220
Now it's, it's more on the rare side that you find hogs are really big tusks, but it seems
00:04:58.160
to be the hogs with the smaller tusks that do the most damage that really can cut.
00:05:01.540
And we'll have Kevlar vest after the dogs have been tussling with a hog before we get
00:05:06.720
to it, where the Kevlar itself is split open, but imagine without that armor.
00:05:10.960
So usually dogs, they're more headstrong, that are more aggressive, that get into the
00:05:15.600
Um, specifically catch dogs, they'll outfit with vests because they're going to be the
00:05:20.300
Dogs like what I have, Catahoulas or Kerr dogs, um, they can work both ways.
00:05:26.140
They can work as running catch dogs, which means that they will, um, not only will they
00:05:31.320
go and find them and try to keep them in a corner, but they will fight them.
00:05:35.160
Like grab by the neck and subdue sort of, or try to kill.
00:05:37.940
So they, so they tried to, well, so if you go up, so if you go up to North Florida, where
00:05:41.700
my friends are, I mean, uh, in the Lake city area, they train their dogs to kill it.
00:05:46.560
And it's understandable because the terrain is crazy.
00:05:48.960
I mean, we go out to a place called Mallory Swamp and you have to check this place out.
00:05:53.560
It's just, it's as primitive as Florida can get.
00:05:58.480
If you get hurt out there, bit by a snake, anything happens to you, you are fucked.
00:06:05.260
So anyhow, um, so there, because of the dangers to humans and animals, you want to train the
00:06:10.940
dogs to be able to fend for themselves because it might be a while before we can get there.
00:06:16.120
There's gator filled canals and we're trying to figure out a way around.
00:06:19.700
Sometimes they get caught in cat barb or some, some thistles or something that's sharp.
00:06:28.040
So up there, typically we run anywhere from eight to 15 dogs and it'd be all sorts of breeds,
00:06:36.940
but usually hound dogs, cur dogs, pit bulls, um, um, breeds of that nature.
00:06:44.240
We don't use the blue, those, those hound dogs more like for treeing things like, um,
00:06:48.340
they use them for, I mean, like, like those, those types of hounds bear, you know, things
00:06:52.140
that run up trees, bear, panther, raccoon, stuff like that.
00:06:54.920
And, um, it's, they, they do use them for hogs here as well.
00:06:58.660
Um, up North, I know there's a few people that have, um, the blue tick coonhounds, um,
00:07:06.660
I mean, you want a dog that will bark, it's bark your head off, then get that dog.
00:07:10.400
But all of them, all of them, that's what they're bred to do instinctually.
00:07:14.820
They'll go after large game and they'll go after, um, them and bark them to death.
00:07:18.280
But, and then the other side of it is having a, uh, a bay dog, which, um, is just the dog
00:07:24.380
would kind of like have that herding instinct to keep the animal in one spot and it would
00:07:28.560
run circles around it if it has to, but it will not engage.
00:07:33.980
So these dogs usually, because they're so athletic, we don't want to overheat them.
00:07:37.340
So we'll keep vests off them, maybe put like a Kevlar collar on to protect their, the main
00:07:42.360
But yeah, so those are all your types of dogs for hog hunting.
00:07:46.280
So you would, uh, your dog would find the prey, the hog, um, either attack it, distract
00:08:00.580
So I, I rightly so, I like to call it redneck CrossFit or backward, back, back country CrossFit.
00:08:06.620
And, uh, for the reason that usually some people ride on buggies, which would, I guess, make
00:08:11.420
it easier for you to get to where your animals are at.
00:08:13.200
And some places probably do require you to do that because of, you know, we live in
00:08:18.120
But, um, an area that we hunt in Okeechobee, um, we're on foot.
00:08:22.560
So generally on these GPS collars, the dogs, they range out anywhere from, from 300 yards
00:08:31.020
So imagine looking at your GPS and the GPS itself will tell you when they're barking, what
00:08:35.560
if they're treed, um, if they're moving and you could see their exact pattern.
00:08:40.500
So our goal is run there as fucking fast as you can before the dog scarer and before your
00:08:49.540
And that's why I say it's such a high likelihood that in this fairness of hunting, the hogs
00:08:54.440
may just get away and it is what it is, but it makes it even more rewarding when you do
00:09:00.500
So when you get them, I know how to do this, but I'm leading the question here for the,
00:09:06.900
You've gotten there in time and, uh, the, the pig's not dead pig.
00:09:14.980
So first of all, we send out the running catch dogs and the bay dogs, and then they'll find
00:09:19.640
We'll see them on the GPS and we make our way there.
00:09:24.160
Usually they're like American pit bull terriers and bulldogs that have the full vest and we
00:09:28.820
don't want them ranging out like that because they're stout and strong and they will
00:09:35.860
We'll walk to an area where we can finally hear clearly that, that the dog will understand
00:09:41.400
where the pig is squealing or where the hog is squealing or making noise or trying to fight
00:09:47.340
At that point, we give them the command, like, you know, get them up or go get them or whatever
00:09:53.600
But they understand the assignment and then it will make a beeline straight for the hog.
00:09:57.440
And the catch dog, once they get on it, they lock onto the hog itself, to its ears.
00:10:05.160
I mean, younger dogs may try to bite a limb or might try to bite the back or the stomach
00:10:13.680
Does it control the hog a little better or is it just more, it's more like a distraction
00:10:21.340
And there's competitions right now, like out in Texas, they do this bay dog competitions
00:10:24.920
and these hog competitions, they'll release catch dogs and they'll release their bay dogs
00:10:30.440
And generally, what they want to do is see the dog control the hog.
00:10:34.100
And the way that you control mostly everything is by the head.
00:10:36.520
So grabbing the ear like that, the dog is able to latch on and control its head by keeping
00:10:42.840
So while they're occupying the front, we make our way towards the back, so to speak.
00:10:47.920
So it's literally like you're picking up a wheelbarrow.
00:10:51.940
So there's many different versions, styles of how people do this.
00:10:54.920
Some people like to flip the hog and then they'll hobble them up and they'll just capture
00:10:57.780
them live and take them to a different point before they harvest it.
00:11:02.980
What we do personally is, since we manage the wildlife in that area as well, if it's like
00:11:13.100
They have a lot of testosterone in them and how they smell is how they taste.
00:11:19.440
Like smelling it and tasting exactly that smell, like it would turn you off or turn anybody
00:11:23.400
off to wanting to eat wild game, which is a shame because I've made some delicious pork
00:11:28.240
dishes from wild hog and nobody would ever tell.
00:11:36.620
And one hog itself, maybe 140 pound hog can afford me food for probably a couple of weeks
00:11:42.740
If you guys came out to the top lobster ranch when Robbie the Fire was out here, Nick was
00:11:47.240
the dude who bought the, I cooked, how much pork did you cook?
00:11:52.220
That was just, that was probably like, like a six pound rump because I mean, I had everything
00:12:00.980
So you guys might've eaten some of this shit already.
00:12:02.940
So everybody give thanks and slow, slow and slow is the key.
00:12:09.040
So, uh, so I guess you're saying, uh, you could either neuter it, right?
00:12:13.020
That'll eliminate this, this testosterone smell.
00:12:17.020
So when you bar a hog, um, it literally is, is neutering it on the field.
00:12:21.620
And the whole purpose of that, um, is one it's wildlife management because they're, they're
00:12:27.120
a feral animal and hogs are very, very destructive to all the residents.
00:12:31.540
I mean, between crops and fences and farms, they destroy.
00:12:35.740
So keeping them in, um, in a nice populated manner, you don't have to worry about, you can
00:12:43.140
have fun still, and you're not as worried as things getting destroyed.
00:12:51.400
So we're definitely going to end up seeing piglets year round.
00:13:02.500
Literally, it's just making a small incision, popping the testicles out, you know, cutting
00:13:06.420
them off, you know, you throw one in the woods and then you throw the other at your hunting
00:13:12.640
Um, sometimes depending, like if it's, if it's really dirty, we'll have like this purple
00:13:20.320
Um, usually people spray it on like wounds on horses and cows and stuff.
00:13:23.760
So we could spray a little bit of that and you know, we'll have the hot, the, the dogs
00:13:27.740
all pulled back and chained up and everybody, you know, stays clear because they're super
00:13:33.020
So we take the hobble off and then, you know, just release it or maybe just walk it in the
00:13:36.820
wheel, wheelbarrow method to a corner somewhere.
00:13:39.160
And then, you know, buy a tree and let it go in and jump on the tree.
00:13:42.100
And actually I have a little, um, video that I made in the small house.
00:13:49.560
And, um, and I did it wrong, but I anticipated cause I saw her turn around and look at me
00:13:54.260
and she went and I was wearing these boots and she bit my, she went and bit my boot.
00:13:58.400
And I don't know why it freaked me out because like, I've came across bears in the woods.
00:14:01.960
I've came across panthers and they had not freaked me out as much as this little pig coming
00:14:06.800
I mean, bit my boot, my boots thick, so I didn't really care, but it freaked me out.
00:14:10.340
I jumped onto this tree and I was like, ah, you know, so I started yelling a little bit.
00:14:14.860
He's laughing at me, but, um, yeah, that little thing, I caught it on a GoPro 360.
00:14:18.720
So you really get the perspective of like what's going on and see the whole picture of my
00:14:22.560
friend in the back with the dogs and he's not far away.
00:14:26.840
He doesn't think it's a big deal, but I let this thing go and it turns around and attacks
00:14:32.120
We'll link to your whole site in the description here if people want to check this out.
00:14:34.880
Cause he's got some like real great 4k stuff to some cool music.
00:14:48.440
So yeah, if you could, if you can somewhat organize it a little bit, it can be definitely aesthetic
00:14:54.780
That's kind of what we're going for with the whole show.
00:14:56.500
That's a, that's the whole thing that attracts me.
00:15:00.840
You go check out his stuff because it's, it is crazy.
00:15:04.040
It's like, I didn't even intend on talking about this.
00:15:10.160
I think you guys will get a kick out of it if you go check it out.
00:15:12.280
Um, but it, it makes me think like, so now that you, you're seeing the type of person
00:15:16.560
that Nick is where he's very much, you're like an outdoorsman.
00:15:19.460
You're like, you're like, he comes to my house and he's like, I'm going to just hunt
00:15:26.080
But then he's also like, I'm going to, I'm going to, I'm going to mess around with like,
00:15:34.340
And it's an interesting thing because that, that kind of a stereotype or trope is usually
00:15:39.680
put on like, uh, somebody like, yeah, you don't know Ian Crossland from, uh, Tim Cass,
00:15:49.640
It's like, it's not necessarily that type of man.
00:15:52.220
It's, it, this is for anybody or everybody who has questions, but for somebody like you,
00:15:56.980
who's very rugged in that sense, it's an interesting, uh, it's an interesting dynamic or wrinkle
00:16:01.880
to your personality to be wanting to explore this kind of, uh, this, this territory that
00:16:08.640
people generally are either scared of, ignore, or say doesn't exist.
00:16:15.140
You, you were telling me a story just today about, uh, who is he, our cousin or, sorry,
00:16:32.460
Um, because at the time I had just gotten divorced.
00:16:35.840
Um, I was living out of my mom's house and I had lost touch with these there.
00:16:42.120
They're not really cousins, but we share the same last name and they lived when we lived
00:16:46.220
in, in Brooklyn, they lived on the second floor and we lived on the fifth floor.
00:16:51.680
Um, but I would hang out with them all the time.
00:16:54.360
And then randomly I hadn't talked to him at all, no contact or anything.
00:16:57.340
And I get a phone call and I'm wondering, like, I don't know this area says Texas on
00:17:05.840
You know, I'm, I'm excluding his name or whatever, just for privacy.
00:17:08.220
But, um, yeah, he got back in touch with me and he said, Hey, yeah, I want to come
00:17:13.620
It's, uh, well, it's like three o'clock right now.
00:17:19.640
Um, and he drove down from Ocala made it to my house, like around nine o'clock, eight,
00:17:24.600
So I thought, yeah, man, it's great seeing you or whatever.
00:17:27.460
And you know, it's just some, something, something off about him, like, like socially, like how
00:17:33.600
I didn't expect it to be so, um, so awkward, almost like an Asperger's type awkward.
00:17:39.840
You like say hi to somebody Asperger's, but they may not get it.
00:17:42.340
Everybody listening right now, all of you motherfuckers, I'm onto you.
00:17:47.260
Some of them, some of them don't have Asperger's, but most are autistic.
00:17:53.740
There's just no bad, bad mental illness out there or anything that's going on with the
00:18:06.320
Um, I invited another friend just because, you know, I felt like the vibe was, you know, I was
00:18:12.640
And, um, I noticed the first thing, um, besides all the small banter and small talk, when
00:18:18.300
we went to this, this bar, um, he ordered a Johnny Walker red with Sprite.
00:18:30.000
So before this, you're saying that he drove, he drove from Texas to Ocala, which is on a
00:18:36.320
motorcycle, on a motorcycle, got a different car from his sister.
00:18:41.780
And then drove down another five hours, another five or six hours to you, which is very strange.
00:18:47.800
But the part that sticks out to Nick that he keeps saying, he's like, we went to a bar
00:18:52.720
Johnny Walker red, Johnny Walker red and Sprite and Sprite.
00:19:01.620
And, uh, after we wrap up this conversation, we'll keep it like to an hour.
00:19:05.720
So if anyone has questions or something like that, I'll be happy to let you pop in.
00:19:11.400
It would be, I think it would be a kind of a cool wrinkle.
00:19:12.920
If you have a question for John Bernthal about, yeah, yeah.
00:19:19.140
So, so yeah, so he drives, he drives, uh, from Texas to Ocala to, from Ocala to you.
00:19:26.380
And then we go to, um, a bar in Delray beach, Florida, the Sprite and the Johnny Walker,
00:19:38.260
Let me ask you when you saw him this time, was he, was it the same person that you knew
00:19:43.140
like in the projects in Coney Island or was it a negative, negative, completely, completely
00:19:48.240
Like as much as I wanted to believe it was the same person, there was just such an oddity
00:19:53.120
to the personality and to the, his, his entire aura that I was like something like intuitive,
00:19:59.020
intuitively just by, you know, body language, nothing psychic, just his body language, his
00:20:04.020
They just seem very, very off, almost like somebody is holding a secret from you and
00:20:07.800
they don't want to tell you and they're just trying to play it off, but you're read directly
00:20:14.380
And, um, he kept bringing up some odd stuff, um, when we were, um, at the bar and we were
00:20:20.160
drinking and he only had that one drink and he didn't even finish it.
00:20:26.000
And then, um, I, you know, I just, I had like, um, something called like a snake bite.
00:20:33.480
You know, I'm not a, a, really a drinking person.
00:20:36.000
Um, but, um, we go to leave and I'm the one that's driving.
00:20:41.000
And as I'm driving back to my place, mind you, with, with my friend sitting in the back
00:20:45.440
and him sitting, or he's sitting in the back of my friend sitting in the passenger seat.
00:20:48.940
And he's like, Hey, so listen, I need to tell you my purpose of even coming here.
00:20:55.420
And me and my friend just looked at each other and I'm thinking like, is he going to like
00:20:58.440
pull out a knife and he's going to slice my throat and just say, he's doing the Lord's
00:21:02.560
So, um, he said that he came down because he was, he spoke with an angel on a trip that
00:21:10.080
Um, and he told me in his trip that, that the angel told him to throw a handball, like
00:21:20.720
It's a little, it's a, it's, it's, it's a, a little blue ball.
00:21:23.640
And instead of three walls, like a racquetball court, you just have one wall and it has the
00:21:28.780
And the rules basically are the same, um, with a little variance to it.
00:21:33.680
But, um, he said that he had this, had this vision and, and, and this angel told him that
00:21:39.260
he was to tell two people, deliver a message to only two people.
00:21:42.980
And it was his other cousin that still lives in New York and to me.
00:21:48.740
And he is telling me, um, basically, I wish I remembered exactly the words verbatim, but,
00:21:58.780
Stop living this lie in your life that you're doing your utmost for God when you're actually
00:22:04.500
And I'm thinking like, this is weird because I was stuck in a real weird religious space.
00:22:09.260
Um, and I was having conflicting thoughts even about it myself.
00:22:18.140
But according to these other people, you know, I've made a lot of mistakes and it's going
00:22:22.260
I'm really going to have to show God that, that I am actually sorry for whatever sins I had
00:22:29.080
But meanwhile, the friends that I was, as I was associating with that I considered, you
00:22:33.260
know, like my blood, we're doing very questionable things themselves.
00:22:36.320
And it would be myself at that time trying to be the more moral person and say, Hey, like
00:22:41.020
this type of music that you're listening to, you know, it's a little awkward.
00:22:43.500
Don't you think that there could be something behind it?
00:22:45.180
And according, um, to the religion that I was in, um, which is Jehovah's witness.
00:22:50.840
Um, so I want to just go out on that right there.
00:22:54.740
I want to get into that because it's, uh, but go ahead, finish your story.
00:22:59.380
So I was, so the whole gist of it is I was in a weird headspace, but even when he was
00:23:03.780
telling me, when he was talking about that stuff, kind of see, it seemed oddly familiar.
00:23:08.780
And mind you, I had not spoken with him in a very, very long time.
00:23:12.880
Like the last time I'd seen him was when my grandmother passed away and I was 20 years
00:23:19.080
And that was the last time that I had seen him, but I didn't really get to hang out with
00:23:23.540
Um, and yeah, so when he told me that I was like, okay, like, I just try to play it off.
00:23:29.940
Like, I don't know what you're talking about, but I certainly felt what he was talking about.
00:23:35.460
And I didn't give him the indication that it really meant something.
00:23:38.380
The more I thought about it, I was, I'm an overthinker.
00:23:40.500
And, uh, you know, these words are repetitive in my head.
00:23:42.440
I'm just going to like break down from beginning to end why he would even feel the need, because
00:23:48.600
From, I mean, he, he drove from, from, I mean, without any sleep, but mind you, he's also
00:23:57.720
So it's, it's not that extreme or uncanny that he would drive 12, 14, 16 hours or whatever.
00:24:02.460
But like to the, it's the will to do it, especially somebody like, you know, if, if you, if you're
00:24:08.060
going to do something for work, like if you're like, if, if your job is to edit videos, you're
00:24:11.860
not necessarily, I mean, you'll do it for fun, but it is kind of a thing where it's
00:24:15.300
like, someone gives it to you, like, this is work, you know?
00:24:17.740
So it's like the mindset that he'd have to get into to do that kind of, that kind of
00:24:22.900
task is like, it seemed imperative, like whatever he had to do.
00:24:29.340
You know, like when you need to do something and you want something so bad, like there's
00:24:33.140
nothing that's going to hinder you from accomplishing that thing.
00:24:37.240
So I think, um, his conviction definitely was, um, spiritually alarming.
00:24:43.460
So I allowed it without trying to demean him and say, bro, you were just tripping.
00:24:50.300
You were just tripping on something and that's all it was.
00:24:53.540
But, um, but what he told you, what he told me, and it resonated with me.
00:24:57.420
Um, because I, it, to me, I read it as I was having questionable doubts that were valid
00:25:03.240
about me being a Jehovah's witness at the time.
00:25:05.980
And I needed to find myself because I literally felt like I am just living and doing everything
00:25:16.220
And how dare I dumb down God's presence or his wisdom or his love by saying that it's
00:25:22.240
impossible for him to love me in some sort of sense, you know?
00:25:25.500
This is actually a good point to segue into like what this is, because you came over.
00:25:31.060
I didn't even really know that you were, I knew that your family was, were a Jehovah's
00:25:34.420
witness, but I didn't know how deep into the religion you were.
00:25:39.000
It's one of those things like, like Mormonism, like you'll see the book of Mormon and it's
00:25:42.220
like, you know, there's like sprinkled in of like, like jokes, but like then what they
00:25:47.460
It's what I knew about Jehovah's witnesses where it's just kind of like, Oh, these guys
00:25:52.920
I know some things, but you were explaining to me like, like the nitty gritty of, and I think
00:25:59.920
I like, again, I don't, I don't want to give them a bad name.
00:26:02.760
I just think, I think that is very interesting.
00:26:06.560
I don't think that they're trying to hurt people, but I'll let, you know, I'll let other
00:26:11.500
people be the judge of, but just explain to us.
00:26:14.000
I don't, I don't think that, that anybody's trying to hurt anybody.
00:26:16.240
There's a very, there's a very good people in, in all walks of life from Muslim to Jewish
00:26:20.240
to, to Christian, to Hindu, to Shinto, all of them.
00:26:24.580
But also in every single aspect of life, religious or not, you have extremists and it's these
00:26:28.960
extremists that really leave a bad taste for whatever it is in your mouth, forcing your
00:26:34.300
will that you personally interpret from how you're reading, whatever book of worship or
00:26:39.420
whatever practices that you do and trying to impose it upon somebody else's moral lifestyle.
00:26:48.440
For the longest period of time, even in the secular world, if you had tattoos, you were looked
00:26:52.580
at as somebody that was more, more, more shady, like possibly a criminal, maybe into drugs.
00:26:58.580
Like they associated this body ornament with something bad, had a bad connotation.
00:27:04.140
And now today it's not uncanny at all to find many people employed in many places of high
00:27:12.380
You know, I mean, minus some things that we still have a big stigma about facial tattoos,
00:27:16.660
Like even that, even I've, I've started to grown, like to grow more accepting to facial
00:27:25.860
Like if your whole face is like, which is blacked out, I'm like, it's a little weird,
00:27:28.400
but sometimes, I mean, depending on the person, I think that it's, it's culturally acceptable
00:27:37.920
That's how they interpret their, their own body art.
00:27:42.980
Don't get a tattoo mom and dad said, because that's why I don't have one yet because I
00:27:48.520
Well, no, I'm getting, I'm going to get, I want to get a whole, you know, a whole sleeve
00:27:51.120
and all that, but it's, it's a thing like, yeah, he's, he's tatted up.
00:27:55.340
I don't know my whole entire back, but you know, we'll save that for another episode and then we'll
00:27:58.380
go into that story because it's, that's for the only fans.
00:28:01.040
So subscribe now, like, and subscribe was about to be a plug talk in here.
00:28:10.800
So I don't know what I want on my body yet, but I definitely do want, you should get a
00:28:15.420
Like boom, boom from nipple to nipple on the back.
00:28:21.300
And then just like clamping around one nipple and let everybody know, man.
00:28:30.320
But it's, it's, it's the, it's the control of estrogen through a, through a strong feministic
00:28:38.180
I think where it's a lot of men are down in a sort of way for not being in touch with
00:28:42.160
things that you should, you ought to know better, right?
00:28:44.420
How dare you not be as sensitive as I need you to be, as you should be down to the point.
00:28:50.040
If I could bring this out down to the point, I actually dated this person hyper liberal.
00:28:54.780
And is, uh, I mean, and I haven't, there's nothing against, um, what, what political party that
00:28:59.420
you want to follow, but I do find it, um, very disturbing when you're an extremist to
00:29:03.620
the point, again, when you're imposing your beliefs upon another person, right?
00:29:08.720
So I don't think that it was appropriate that, um, I couldn't even say the word female.
00:29:23.920
Usually somebody that like that extreme is crazy.
00:29:28.000
And usually crazy pussy is like, yeah, but, um, just, bro, it was like woke sex.
00:29:35.160
Like, I mean, that's the best I keep asking for consent.
00:29:37.800
Just like, like, I mean, it's just like, no, like, I mean, just, just things that, that
00:29:45.800
I mean, to, to that point, to me asking me to, to perform on her.
00:29:49.560
And I'm like, I'm very uncomfortable with that.
00:30:03.720
There's the, the stories will go on and on and on.
00:30:10.000
We spent a whole nother, a whole nother hour or two on that.
00:30:15.140
Uh, back up, back up the tattoos, the accepting of different ways of life, the religion.
00:30:22.060
So that segues really good into how the Jehovah's Witness religion is with, um, how they, they
00:30:31.760
Because they, they read in the Bible that, um, bad association spoils useful habits.
00:30:36.400
I wish I could remember the scripture, but I guess what really matters is that I remember
00:30:40.080
So you go by bad association spoils useful habits, right?
00:30:42.800
In the context that makes a lot of sense, right?
00:30:45.400
Um, obviously, you know, you tell me who your friends are and I'll tell you who you are.
00:30:49.360
So in this essence though, I think it's, it's used in an extremist way where it's like anybody
00:30:55.460
that is not a Jehovah's Witness is not displaying their love for Jehovah and not displaying that
00:31:00.280
they have a love for, for the God that, that they worship and know him to be.
00:31:04.220
If you're not doing that, then you're just labeled as bad association.
00:31:07.460
No matter if you're a very moral, polite person, you're still bad association just for that
00:31:13.000
So you'll see that they're very to themselves, um, really in their groups and not all, not
00:31:19.420
Cause you can understand like not all families are like 100% Jehovah's Witness because you
00:31:22.940
have maybe parents that don't have children are Jehovah's Witnesses.
00:31:25.240
Are you really going to shun their children like that?
00:31:30.540
And that's what I mean by the extremism that is, that gets into like Scientology area.
00:31:36.420
Like I've seen some of those documentaries where they're kind of like excommunicating people
00:31:43.840
And there's actually, um, I, there is a, um, documentary on, um, ex Jehovah's Witnesses,
00:31:51.220
I guess you would call them, or ones that have been excommunicated or ones that just chose
00:31:55.600
And some, I mean, it's definitely worth, um, watching if you're, if you're interested in
00:32:01.020
that kind of stuff, but, um, knowledge is power, man.
00:32:03.680
And just because you might not be so interested in it, just understanding the workings of people
00:32:07.460
or how some people operate, you know, you get to understand other things.
00:32:10.520
Things in life, um, that, that make a little bit more sense when doing the same exact research.
00:32:14.960
And that's why I tell anybody, I mean, whether or not you're Jehovah's Witness or you're,
00:32:17.840
you're Muslim or whatnot, like do your own research.
00:32:20.240
As a matter of fact, the Bible even tells you, it says, prove to yourselves what you
00:32:25.340
So, um, even, even according to God and his word, he is not satisfied with you just listening
00:32:31.760
He is, he is completely satisfied with you when you do, um, what's inculcating the truth into
00:32:38.020
When you're doing that research for yourself and the research, it's not like just read
00:32:45.140
Look at the original language and how it's been, the idea has been translated because
00:32:49.080
the language is going to vary greatly from English and get that idea.
00:32:53.460
And in doing so you'll understand, okay, this is what was going on exactly in that time
00:32:58.640
Just like we talked about yesterday, um, with regards to tattoos and earrings, how originally
00:33:04.220
they were meant as a part of, of ownership, um, with, with a family and that would be their
00:33:10.520
And they called it not an earring, they called it an awl.
00:33:12.680
So I don't know if I'm saying it all, I feel, I feel like it's weird when I say it, but
00:33:18.040
But now you wear earrings in your ears and it's ornamental.
00:33:21.300
So like, like progressively we have evolved in, in, in society socially, and that's what
00:33:29.580
we should be going by is things change and that's okay.
00:33:35.620
Like, so that went from like slavery, the, the, the significance of an earring went from
00:33:42.600
And then the significance of something like a swastika went from, uh, the, the symbol of peace
00:33:53.100
And if you're not paying attention, you kind of just, you know, put your head in the sand.
00:33:56.480
The swastika is still used too on, on goods and items.
00:33:58.380
Go to like an Oriental store, like a, like an Asian food market or whatever.
00:34:01.680
And, um, I was seeing it on a lot of the, the, um, like for instance, like, like bag noodles
00:34:11.420
In my intro, there's a, I have a Buddha and he has a swastika, I think on his pants.
00:34:16.600
It's because, yeah, it's just, these things are, as time goes on there, they get, uh,
00:34:20.820
co-opted, perverted, switched around the narrative around these things gets changed.
00:34:36.360
I mean, if, if you follow and study the Bible was, was a covenant between God and people
00:34:42.700
that he was, that God was, was never going to, his promise to his people that he was
00:34:48.240
never going to bring, um, the earth to an end by means of flooding it.
00:34:58.800
This is, I wasn't planning on going here, but what do you think?
00:35:01.360
I, I'm of the belief of like, we, we spoke about Nephilim, fallen angels and stuff like
00:35:06.080
I'm of a belief that, uh, when God ended the, the world in a flood, it's because things
00:35:15.600
I think it was like, you know, God gave man dominion over earth, but then the fallen angels
00:35:20.580
came down, mated with the daughters of man, created Nephilim giants, all kinds of crazy
00:35:29.620
So you can enslave all of humanity at, with just like a fallacy and bargain and a trick
00:35:35.180
and God, I think God saw it, said, you know what, this can't happen.
00:35:40.420
Some of them got away and I think they still walk among us, but I think that that's what
00:35:48.500
Um, I think that it's like, it's like a background story battle between like what we talked about
00:35:54.880
yesterday, like the very first prophecy in the Bible where God said that my seed will
00:35:58.500
bruise you in the head and yours will bruise mine in the heel.
00:36:00.720
It's actually vice versa, but it's always like a, um, sort of like a, um,
00:36:05.180
a spiritual pissing match because I do believe that these Nephilim did bring knowledge.
00:36:11.680
I don't, I can't say technology, you know, I don't know.
00:36:13.700
I mean, it's very controversial, you know, what you believe is what you believe and what
00:36:19.000
Well, technology, when I say technology, I don't just mean like, like a physical device
00:36:24.260
that's like, has a little bit of metal and plastic.
00:36:26.720
Technology is like, like we were saying our brain, it's, it's like a wet technology or even
00:36:31.640
like people that practice like witchcraft or stuff like that.
00:36:40.480
The things that Jesus did when he's walking on water, I classify that as technology.
00:36:45.760
It's, it's a miracle because we don't have words to describe it or understand it.
00:36:50.520
That's why he was able to, you know, give somebody sight back or whatever miracle he's
00:36:55.840
Like, I think it's just a technology that we don't have words for, so we call it miracles
00:37:01.560
But they understand it more intimately, especially like Lucifer and the fallen angels.
00:37:06.320
They know the ones and zeros of this world so they can manipulate these kinds of things.
00:37:12.680
I mean, even Jesus called Satan the God of this system of things.
00:37:17.220
So there's, there's, there was some power that was allowed for a time according to the
00:37:24.060
Really, I think I believe in revelation where it says that they were cast out of heaven and
00:37:27.920
And we know that they were able to go from heaven to earth because if you remember the
00:37:31.580
story of Job, um, the whole issue was that Satan came in amongst God's, God's court.
00:37:38.240
And he, um, he propositioned God and said, Job is only worshiping you because you give
00:37:48.340
And I bet you he's going to curse you to your very face.
00:37:52.460
And he said, you can touch him down to his very bones.
00:37:58.680
And Job was, was suffering for some time, but we, but the whole gist of that is that,
00:38:04.440
that he, he was at a time allowed back and forth into these different realms or dimensions
00:38:10.120
or, or heavenly States where he was able to approach.
00:38:13.000
This show is brought to you by the van man company.
00:38:15.700
If you're like me, then you're constantly trying to avoid products that contain harmful chemicals,
00:38:19.540
especially when it comes to skincare and hygiene from fluoride in the toothpaste to aluminum
00:38:24.740
in the deodorants, avoiding these products can become a full time job.

...got at that time until we read in Revelation written that they were cast down to the earth
00:39:47.140
and that things would be getting much worse here on earth.
00:39:50.060
It's been completely cut off from God and that just makes it more spiteful.
00:39:56.080
I guess as I get older, I sort of understand it now, but it just seems like, like you said,
00:40:01.900
like a spiritual pissing contest where it's just like some dude, and he's like, that's my dude.
00:40:11.340
And he just kills his kids, his wife, his livestock.
00:40:14.000
He just messes up his whole life, but it was like, and then at the end, I'm like, I'm reading
00:40:17.780
and I'm like, oh, but you gave him a better wife?
00:40:25.400
I was like, I kind of wanted my old shitty kids.
00:40:27.680
But that's also like, you know, this is, we were also saying like, God's way of thinking
00:40:32.300
is something like we can never understand anyway.
00:40:39.220
And it's like respect that we respect the law of the wind, right?
00:40:43.140
But you know that if there's too much of it, you respect it.
00:40:45.160
You're not going to go out and try to fly a kite or, or hang out your clothes to dry on
00:40:49.240
a laundry line or something like that, or do any activity that's going to cause, you
00:40:55.460
So it's knowing, knowing of it and respecting it in its proper space, just like you would
00:41:02.320
And it can be, I believe, harmful in a sense where you overanalyze and then you start personifying
00:41:09.100
God when God is not a person in particular, because he's not a physical being, but his
00:41:13.340
name itself, that Yahweh, that Y-H-W-H, those tetragrammaton letters meant he causes to become.
00:41:22.820
So literally just, it's like fill in the blanket.
00:41:29.180
And I say he, I mean, there's no gender associated with it, but in, in the text of, of translating
00:41:37.060
tetragrammaton or Sanskrit to Latin, you have to understand we use feminine and masculine
00:41:43.660
So they've just chosen to use the word he, just because man was, was created by God first.
00:41:48.480
And in the masculine, it just pronounces more, attributes, more, more power to him in that
00:41:58.280
But that's the limit of what we understand because we can't say it causes to become,
00:42:01.580
and like it, but then we're like, so is it a physical object?
00:42:04.760
Like, so it's the most appropriate, I guess, in, it translated from Latin would have been
00:42:17.640
So like you were saying in this religion, because you did touch on this before also,
00:42:22.280
um, when they kind of personify this omnipotent being, they put them into a box and this is
00:42:29.880
what it seems like this religion does to people and, and even to God, which is probably a misstep
00:42:39.660
Um, I think it, it, it's all about interpretation of, of what they believe it means.
00:42:51.200
And the Jehovah's Witnesses don't celebrate birthdays.
00:42:52.840
And they believe that it is without it saying it in the Bible, that the only two birthdays
00:42:58.560
that are mentioned in the Bible, one being, um, King Herod, uh, that had, was a King Herod
00:43:04.560
that had John the baptizer's head cut off as a gift to one of the concubines.
00:43:08.120
So, um, and then there was another one for, for either the Pharaoh or somebody.
00:43:13.200
And I apologize, Nebuchadnezzar, where there was a lot of, um, witchcraft and spiritism
00:43:18.600
So they say, Hey, birthdays are looked at in a bad light in the Bible.
00:43:23.120
So this must mean that we shouldn't celebrate birthdays.
00:43:27.300
And it just, it doesn't make sense to me because, um, and then it's graduated from, okay, it's
00:43:32.820
put in a bad light in the Bible, but now we understand why birthdays are so bad and we
00:43:36.500
shouldn't celebrate them because then it's like, it's narcissistic.
00:43:38.880
It's, it's all about me and it's, it's vanity and vanity is, is a sin.
00:43:43.500
And we shouldn't, shouldn't do anything in vain.
00:43:47.180
But the question is, then why celebrate accomplishments that are honed in on one person or a group of
00:43:57.940
Whether or not it was, you were born or you've accomplished something big.
00:44:05.020
And even God celebrated himself and recognize, okay, I need to take rest, which they, they
00:44:08.660
considered the Sabbath, but it was an enjoying fact to it.
00:44:12.380
And I'm sure that when God created Adam, that in his own way, maybe we'll never understand
00:44:18.300
Or maybe it hasn't been found yet that he celebrated in some sort of way for his creation.
00:44:23.080
Cause it's a nice, when you create something, whether I create a video or you create a picture
00:44:26.180
and you stand back and look at it and you just, you obsess over it.
00:44:29.360
And I think that's a God given quality is that we're to be proud of our work.
00:44:33.240
So as a parent, you're proud of what you created and what you are instilling in your
00:44:37.700
child and you celebrate birthdays and you do what you can to make them feel special.
00:44:41.600
Now there is tradition involved in gift giving and candle blowing and stuff, but we've turned
00:44:49.680
And we said, it's just special and that's okay.
00:44:55.080
But you didn't think when you're blowing out the candles on a birthday cake that you
00:44:57.660
were wishing away bad spirits or you were doing that for good luck, or you're doing
00:45:01.460
that to scare away demons or anything like that.
00:45:06.220
There's, we would have to research it, but I believe to the best of my knowledge that
00:45:11.480
that is part of the symbolism of the birthday cakes.
00:45:19.720
The Christmas tree, all kinds of stuff like that.
00:45:21.420
The Christmas tree, Santa Claus is actually finished and the whole Christmas tree thing
00:45:25.180
is a Scandinavian tradition because they're evergreens.
00:45:27.620
So they believe that these trees were divine in some respect.
00:45:30.800
And if they attribute it by bringing one of these evergreens into their home and they're
00:45:35.320
decorating it, the decorations represent crops, right?
00:45:38.780
And it's to bless like after the winter solstice that they would be able to bear a lot of crops
00:45:45.420
once the spring came and hopefully it came in early.
00:45:48.000
So there's a lot of tradition involved in that.
00:45:49.420
But what do we do is say, hey, I really like decorating a tree and there's nothing wrong
00:45:54.020
and decorate what you want, do what you want with it.
00:45:58.380
You're not doing it for any spiritistic symbolism or anything.
00:46:05.200
Gathering with your family, decorating a tree, opening presents, eating together.
00:46:12.620
So I believe in what your intent is when you're doing something defines why you're doing it.
00:46:20.800
Samhain is the actual name for Halloween and it's Druid tradition.
00:46:27.740
You like, we like dressing up in costumes and stuff, but it's the day of the dead, right?
00:46:31.860
But how many people do you actually see dressing up as something dead?
00:46:35.300
No, they're either Pikachu or some Pokemon or something fun or a Ninja Turtle, whatever.
00:46:39.500
And even the people that do, it does get tricky though because I feel like with something like that,
00:46:45.240
you might be flirting with a little, you're touching something that maybe you should be careful with.
00:46:53.100
People that take it a little too seriously, like they like to dress up and do all this stuff.
00:46:57.100
They're not doing it for that reason, but I feel like, all right, there is a little caution here.
00:47:03.960
But partaking in it, my kids will dress up too.
00:47:08.100
It's just, I know the intentionality of what we're doing here is like, they're just getting candy.
00:47:18.400
But like, well, with a lot of religions or religious people, there isn't much nuance.
00:47:26.220
And for me, I know as like a, just like a, a Pentecostal Christian, it pushed me away from the church because everybody is so black and white.
00:47:34.640
But God created a world that is like so magnificent and full of color.
00:47:40.300
And it's like, and you just want me to see this black and white.
00:47:46.400
But I, like, we, we kind of have to like look at it a little bit.
00:47:50.060
Like, give us, give us the tools that we need to look at this, at this world and not be fooled or like pulled into a direction.
00:47:57.320
But don't put, put me in a corner where I can't, where I, I'm, I'm forbidden to explore this.
00:48:04.740
We live in it and it's going to pop up sooner or later.
00:48:07.980
So yeah, they've, the church in general probably has done a poor job of that, but I can only imagine how like they feel like the elders of any of these churches feel trying to navigate this.
00:48:20.280
Like, would they, would they feel guilt if they, if they like sent somebody out and lost them?
00:48:27.220
And I think that's where the big failure is, is just realize you don't have all the answers and you can be wrong.
00:48:35.460
And unfortunately, you know, when you believe that you're doing everything in your power to worship God, you're really seeking the approval of man.
00:48:42.520
Because how do you know that your relationship with God is strong, right?
00:48:46.860
But if somebody tells you like, you know, you should consider X, Y, and Z that you do, like you're watching movies that are demonic or you're listening to music that's questionable.
00:48:55.460
Where, where's the line really drawn when it, when it comes to that?
00:48:59.180
Um, and they just personified so much that it becomes, um, a way to people please.
00:49:07.820
And everybody's like into you and they say, Hey, oh yeah, that's, that's, that's Daniel.
00:49:14.220
Like, but you knew that beforehand, but we as, as human beings, we appreciate the, uh, the adulation of the people telling us that we're doing good.
00:49:26.000
So it becomes like a boy scout thing where you get like more badges and you move.
00:49:32.600
And then you become more involved in your church and, and then you climb the, the spiritual ladder, so to speak.
00:49:37.860
And really it is just, you're assuming more responsibility roles.
00:49:41.120
Um, I mean, with the, that's at least how it goes with the Jehovah's Witness religion.
00:49:45.640
Um, and I'm not too sure, uh, about the other ones, how, how you go about it.
00:49:49.960
Um, but yeah, it's the other, you know, other Christianity is very similar to that, but I think the organized structure and like the, um, the responsibility that you were describing that was kind of like on your shoulders, um, as a Jehovah's Witness is way more.
00:50:07.920
Or it's a lot more pressure for the, than, than what I've experienced.
00:50:11.760
And what I experienced, I was like, you can hold that.
00:50:25.660
No, I, um, I just disassociated myself, um, from it.
00:50:31.300
And I did do it kind of in a, in a public sense where I let some people know that we're elders in the congregation that I'm just not associated with it.
00:50:40.580
And unfortunately it came about, um, like we talked about yesterday with one person trying to assume, um, some sort of spiritual governing over me because he, he is, or was an elder.
00:50:51.860
And I don't know, um, exactly what he is right now.
00:50:54.700
Cause it's been so long, but, um, to call me personally on the phone and ask me such a personal question regarding, you know, who I was dating because he recognized me before I used to play soccer with him actually a lot.
00:51:09.180
And then obviously when we go to conventions, like every summer, there would be a, um, a district convention, um, or assembly, and it would be a three day event.
00:51:18.760
We all have responsibilities, but he hadn't seen me in some time.
00:51:21.420
So he felt when he found out information through old coworkers for, for an old place that I used to work at, that I was dating somebody that wasn't Joe's witness.
00:51:29.480
He assumed it upon himself to take that role and think that he had some sort of governance over me to tell me that it's wrong or whatever.
00:51:35.900
And I really did let him know that it was none of his business.
00:51:42.260
And that he ought to concern himself with his own.
00:51:45.620
So he said, he said, Nick, you know, um, after all the small bullshit banter and fakeness, um, that I can read right through because there's no reason why he should have even had my number to call me and ask me, is it true that you're dating somebody that's worldly?
00:52:05.440
This reminds me of like the small bullshit banter.
00:52:07.900
Like if you've watched John Wick, where whenever he goes up and, uh, he meets another assassin that's in that world, they're like, Hey John.
00:52:16.860
And there's like this weird bullshit banter, but it's like in the end, like, I know what you're here for.
00:52:21.220
So like, let's just, and then they start shooting at each other.
00:52:27.460
But, um, I, I asked him, I said, I'll answer your question if you'll answer one of my questions.
00:52:38.800
And he felt, he felt very, he felt very taken back by it.
00:52:43.120
Um, but it was meant to, to, to portray him that him asking me that question was just as extreme as me asking him that question.
00:52:50.880
And it wasn't a means to be disrespectful, but matching the level of his disrespect.
00:52:55.520
And, um, you know, that's vulgar where I said, no, I said, that's a personal question.
00:53:00.600
And I said, it's none of my business and neither do I want to know, but it's none of your business.
00:53:22.300
I was at a lot of peace and, um, and he just tried to put that bad energy on me.
00:53:32.020
So from, from there, after that, you, you kind of went and you disassociated completely.
00:53:38.080
I, I, I had, um, blocked him, but then I noticed that my phone was ringing off the hook from different elders that had either had gone to the congregation I was attending or some other ones or him.
00:53:48.800
He left me a message, um, apologizing at that time.
00:53:51.580
I heard about three seconds of it, but in my mind already, no, I don't need to convince myself of anything.
00:53:55.700
Like this is to me, this is an event that, that is, is a lesson for him.
00:53:59.820
And I'm not going to forgive it because this is the lesson he needs to learn.
00:54:02.380
I hope that this spreads to other elders or anybody who thinks that they have any, any stature, right?
00:54:11.680
It's supposed to be, according to them, like, like the more you go up in, in the religion, as far as like get responsibilities, the lower you actually need to be.
00:54:19.680
So if you're an elder, you should be the one scrubbing the shit out of the toilets after the meetings.
00:54:23.260
You should be the one helping with the floors and everything.
00:54:26.920
You should be taking that, that leadership role on, right?
00:54:33.060
And, um, and which, which most would, I would say like, um, you know, I'm not trying to down, um, the Jehovah's witnesses in that sense.
00:54:41.460
I'm only speaking about the, the extreme ideas that really detract from what the actual message of God is.
00:54:48.940
Well, that's the thing, what it is when you build a structure.
00:54:51.100
Cause like you kept mentioning, uh, their idea of like Jesus is going to come back and with his government.
00:54:58.760
So it's like a very like governmental structure, but with that kind of structure, just like the regular government, um, it's, you give it, once you give people a little bit of power, they're going to, they're going to abuse it.
00:55:10.600
And it's like, it's just a natural thing for people to follow.
00:55:16.380
Uh, you told me another story about, about a girl that, uh, like kind of disturbing because like it, this, this really goes like the way this religion is, is that it's so personal in, in your family life and in what you're doing that it, it could be harmful.
00:55:33.160
Right. And you are taught in that religion that if you don't, don't, um, respectfully conform to what, what God's law is in the Bible and you, you decide to not worship God, that you're choosing essentially death.
00:55:46.760
That you would eventually, when Armageddon did come, if you live during that time, that you would be part of what others would consider the rapture or this one is like that God is going to destroy all wickedness and you just be part of those wicked people.
00:55:58.920
So that's like the end of your life. So a lot of these people that get excommunicated or disfellowshipped as they like to say, um, from, from the Joe's witness, um, kingdom halls, uh, which is their temple, their church that you would.
00:56:11.840
Um, I just lost my train of thought and I apologize, but, um, essentially that you would be, that you, you, you, you chose death, you chose death.
00:56:18.880
And if you were taught this from youth, man, it's all that, you know, you're going to believe it.
00:56:24.180
And I have many, um, many friends that, that have either, you know, they left, um, by choice or they were excommunicated that are suffering from real emotional trauma, real, you know, real bad trauma where it's like, it's shaped their personality.
00:56:39.900
You can even see in their face, you know, when somebody is like super depressed or they've got something really bad going on, they kind of look like they've been doing a bunch of drugs.
00:56:45.520
It's either a, they've been doing a bunch of drugs or B that that's how messed up their mind is from that whole event.
00:56:51.320
And still to this day, I can call any one of these friends and they'll say like, that's what they feel and believe because that's what they've been taught.
00:56:57.260
Well, that's how we opened up this conversation about, uh, um, psychedelics, but there's a, there's a huge overlap between psychedelics and spirituality.
00:57:05.740
So, you know, yeah, you can abuse psychedelics and possibly go down a, like a crazy rabbit, especially if you're just doing it, uh, for fun, recreation to have a good time.
00:57:14.860
You could really lose yourself and it'll be evident in your face, but spiritually, if you're, if you're like, maybe not beaten down, but like, it's like almost like they've had the rug pulled out from them spiritually.
00:57:25.440
And it's like, they're completely full and it's almost, it's almost the same thing.
00:57:29.880
Right. That's a good analogy. Yeah. It's pulled out from under them for sure. And that's exactly what you see, um, with these people.
00:57:37.060
Um, but it has, has messed them up to that point. And that story, how it goes is, you know, had, had a couple of friends and in our youth, you know, um, I was in a band, right?
00:57:49.000
So I was playing good times band. It was with four other people. And, um, the singer of the band, um, was dating, um, this girl named Candy and that is her actual name.
00:58:00.940
And I don't remember her last name, but, um, that's her. Yeah. That's not sure. Her actual name. See, her parents, her parents set her up for this shit.
00:58:07.720
Yeah. But, um, you know, in the Joseph's Witness religion, chastity is a, is a really big deal. And, um, waiting to have sex, um, after you're married is, is key. And if you do fornicate before marriage and it was discovered, um, it was brought before the elders and then they would put you before what they call a judicial committee and they would decide, you know, how many people know about this?
00:58:33.700
Is this going to be, um, if people find out about it, will it influence them and think, and will people think that it's okay? They could do the same thing and nothing bad is going to happen. And they'll make a decision collectively as a body of elders. If, um, you should be excommunicated, disfellowship, or you should be privately reproved, which is like, Hey, you know, you, if you have responsibilities, we're not going to let you know this. You can't help God anymore. Right. You can't do anything for, for the kingdom hall. So, so don't worry about cleaning or anything. Right. So now they're hindering you from, from your lovey
00:59:03.700
want to display for God. Doesn't matter if you can talk to somebody or not, you're excommunicated, like to, to show, I think that would show more that you're repentant of your sins than anything else. Like, let's see how hard you're going to work. But no, like sit in silence. You, you, you should be making meetings as many meetings as possible. And we'll decide if you're sorry or not by the time. And it's not like you, you can, you can choose. It's been a week. I'm like, I am really, really sorry. You submit a letter. And then most of the time it, they're not going to reinstate you as a Jehovah's Witness. They're going to tell you like, no, it's been too short of a time.
00:59:33.600
So we don't know if you're really sorry. Right. That, so who is it that you're trying to please and show that you're sorry to at this point? Man or guy? Yeah. Right. But let me tell you right now, uh, where they got it from is in the first book of Corinthians where, um, who wrote Corinthians? Paul? Yeah. So Paul wrote about that. There was a man that was going to, to, um, the, the temple. And, um, everybody in the temple knew that this man was sleeping with another man's wife. It was known. Right. But they tolerated it.
01:00:03.600
And throw him to Satan. Cast him, cast him away to Satan. So that way the whole congregation might not get swallowed up by the influence essentially. Um, it's a really good summary of it actually. And so they removed the man, right? They excommunicated him in some sort of way. Right. But we find in second Corinthians that Paul says, bring this man back in. So that way he's not swallowed up by his sadness.
01:00:27.600
Yeah. But there has to be a road to, this is like, you know, you dabble in like current culture and stuff like this with cancel culture. Oh, what else? Like what the left does a lot. I know this sounds like just washed up talking points, but they do, they'll cancel somebody and there's no road to redemption. Right. And that's not, you can't do that to people because then where do they go? Like you said, they are, they, they just, they just wallow down into the pit of hell where I mean, or, or end up in the worst places. Right. You have to, if you're going to have this,
01:00:57.600
kind of structure where we are going to give somebody a timeout because sometimes people get fucked up, you know, they do crazy shit. You got to have a way to bring them back into the fold and it can't just be arbitrary. Can't be like, write a letter and some guy will see it. And this guy is also doing his dirt. Like you were talking about some of these other people that are, you knew we're doing dirt, but they're still judging others. Right. Yeah. That's a, yeah. And that was that back to that original story with this guy and this girl that, this guy named Eric that was dating this girl named Candy.
01:01:27.600
you know, you're not supposed to have sex. And guess what? They were hakey paking. Right. And they were in, um, they were in Eric's house and the father is an elder and, and his congregation. And I guess they, they were supposed to be gone, but then they ended up walking in and finding out that, yeah, they were having sex. Right. They found out. So obviously now you, you know, get getting the elders involved because there had been fornication that was witnessed. And he talked about it. So Eric did not get this fellowship.
01:01:54.060
Isn't it bad enough? Your dad catches you just fucking. Yeah. Getting him pussy. Yeah. That's just, that's embarrassment enough. Like. Absolutely. Absolutely. But then it became, since it was something known, you know, now they, they felt forced to go to the elders. They talked to him about it. So the gist of it was that he got privately reproved and she got disfellowshipped. Right. So, um,
01:02:16.060
well, she bit the apple. She did it first. I mean,
01:02:19.460
I guess you're not a good influence for my son. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Um, but, um, she ended up killing
01:02:28.040
herself. I think a year later she, she killed herself. She was still disfellowshipped and she ended up killing
01:02:34.520
herself. And I heard about it. Um, secondhand through a mutual friend that we all used to hang out to
01:02:40.120
with each other. And I'm like, damn. And what do you think killed her?
01:02:45.760
Uh, I would assume she probably drugs overdose. No, no, no. She, um, I, I don't, I don't recall
01:02:51.920
what it was. I think it was overdose, honestly. Um, on pain medicine. Um, but what, what killed her?
01:02:58.860
What was the, what was the, what was the, um, what was the straw that broke the camel's back? And I think
01:03:04.660
it's because of this, well, I don't want to say, I think it's because, I mean, everybody has their own
01:03:08.580
issues and levels of depression or whatever, but it certainly doesn't help when the depressive
01:03:13.360
influence of nobody talks to me now, my own family doesn't even want to talk to me. I feel
01:03:18.600
useless. I know I'm going to die for what I did. Right. What aren't those factors and why people,
01:03:24.860
when you lose all hope and you actually perform it, there, there, there has to be a cause and effect.
01:03:31.900
There are factors that, that are involved in that. And we pray that nobody does that. Um, but
01:03:36.300
it happened and is very eyeopening because this is exactly what that religion does to people.
01:03:43.060
Then you are so involved and you feel like that you have no hope for yourself anymore.
01:03:48.800
And I'm not saying that everybody wants to kill themselves, but it traumatizes your life.
01:03:53.500
And, and it had in some effect when, when I had gotten disfellowshipped at one point,
01:03:57.100
um, it had traumatized me severely. I lost everybody. I lost everything. Nobody would talk to me,
01:04:01.680
nothing. Um, and then I had came back, but I, as I was drawing closer to God in my own respect,
01:04:08.940
I started learning things that I was trying to prove to myself what I ought to believe. Right.
01:04:12.700
I don't care what you say. I want to fucking hear what the Bible says, what it says in here to me.
01:04:16.940
And I was like, you know what, there's something very, very wrong. And I did the right thing and
01:04:20.820
did my research and then I stood up for it. And here I am a swamp guy in the city eating wild game
01:04:28.880
and coming to your local place to kill all your rabbits for you. Oh yeah, man. This guy is fast
01:04:34.540
food. That's free fast food, man. You killed fast food. Every rabbit in his yard, every rabbit on my
01:04:39.420
property. Um, my God, how delicious cottontail rabbits are. I'm just telling you what a, what a
01:04:45.400
beautiful natural flavor. But it, man, it is such an interesting, what an interesting dynamic that is
01:04:52.060
though. So like, because I have experienced it, but, but obviously the structure around the religion
01:04:57.200
that I was in, wasn't like I was excommunicated from everybody because it, it was, you know, uh,
01:05:02.780
Pentecostal Christianity is still very, it's like an open pool people coming in and out. Yeah. That's,
01:05:07.780
that's like a closed house. So you're in that house. And when you're kicked out of the house,
01:05:12.200
it probably could feel very lonely. Your entire family is also Jehovah's witness or
01:05:15.800
no, no, no, no. It was my parents. Um, was Lily as well? No, no, she was there for a little bit,
01:05:22.960
but she got turned off because of some sister in the congregation there. Apparently something
01:05:29.980
happened on a personal level and she didn't like it. And she just stopped altogether. She was like
01:05:34.780
coming with, with her, with her husband and her kids for, for a short time. But, um, again,
01:05:39.800
and it was, it was more than likely from some extremist viewpoint that was being portrayed by
01:05:44.800
this other person who was supposed to be her sister in the church. And, um, it just turned her off and
01:05:50.140
really see through it. I think one of the things that our family has is, uh, a good, uh, spirit of
01:05:55.820
discernment. So like we can be in something for a while, but, um, something inside it, like Lily definitely
01:06:02.540
has this, she has this, I don't know much about it, but she has like this kind of like spiritualness to
01:06:06.860
her. I'm pretty sure you get this weird feeling. And she was like, you know what? I'm just going
01:06:11.120
to get away. And, uh, I, I've had that feeling multiple times too. It's like, just like, like
01:06:15.900
a gut feeling. You feel something. Yeah. It's intuition and it is, it is a sixth sense in itself
01:06:21.360
and it's nothing psychic or spiritual. It's we're really good at reading the layout, reading body
01:06:27.220
language, looking at the mannerisms of how you're speaking. I mean, these are all like things that you
01:06:32.820
have to go to school for to be like, like a cross analyst for criminals, like in criminology. And
01:06:38.660
you know, like I love to binge on watching the criminology stuff too, because they'll explain
01:06:42.660
like this person is crossing our lakes. This indicates that they are super nervous and that
01:06:47.740
they recognize that a turd is poking out their butthole and they may have to take the shit real
01:06:51.540
soon, but we can all tell this because of the way he's talking and the way he's sitting. Now watch
01:06:55.880
he's guilty. He's guilty by shit. Yeah. It's, you know, not everything comes from a book, man.
01:07:02.660
Sometimes you've got to like, like soften up your pineal gland and like really just like,
01:07:08.040
like if, if you're trying to figure somebody out or what's going on in that situation, you kind of
01:07:11.660
just got to be open to listening and really feeling that and then understanding what that is.
01:07:16.720
I think a lot of people do. I think everybody has that. Right. Um, I think most people just don't
01:07:21.820
pay attention to it. Some people are better than others. Some people are stronger. Some people are just
01:07:25.360
blissfully unaware. Um, those are NPCs. Those are bots that are just among society. But yeah,
01:07:33.680
you, we definitely, it runs in the family where a lot of times you're right. And again, it's not
01:07:38.800
some sort of mystic psychic thing that you have. It's just, you pay attention. That's like saying
01:07:43.580
you have, you know, put your head on a swivel, you know, 360 degree view of everything that's going
01:07:47.500
on around you. If you pay attention, um, just as like, I mean, from a part of New Yorker that we were
01:07:51.880
from, you understood that very well from birth, you were taught how to pay attention always because
01:07:56.220
you could walk by a certain street corner and then you recognize that there's, there's some
01:08:00.400
shady people there and you don't know what their intentions are. And like my case, why I ended up
01:08:04.360
from New York to Florida, I was walking home in front of elementary school. I saw that these two
01:08:08.500
men were, were, were walking toward me. I tried crossing the street and you know, even a blind person
01:08:13.520
could see what they were up to end up having me at knife and gunpoint. And I was 14 years old.
01:08:20.160
Yeah. Yeah. I was 14 years old and he took my T-Mobile prepaid cell phone, my Blazers jersey and
01:08:24.880
my Jordans and then pistol with me. And I ended up in Florida eventually to finish school because
01:08:31.640
obviously my parents didn't feel safe, but it's, I read them. I was like, I know something's wrong
01:08:36.100
and it just pay attention. Like if you don't pay attention, then you would just walk right into it,
01:08:40.440
whatever it is. Sometimes it's unavoidable. Like there's been situations where they were like,
01:08:44.180
well, I guess we're here now and whatever happens. But yeah, there's a, you'd be surprised.
01:08:48.980
You probably wouldn't be surprised. There's a lot of people, even I think people from Florida
01:08:52.880
too, that aren't in this situation, but they wouldn't be able to diagnose this kind of a
01:08:56.140
social situation, especially when there's like that underlying threat. It's why, it's why I'm
01:09:01.020
so racist, but it's not, it's not racism. And it's not, it's not just like a certain color
01:09:06.380
of a person. You can tell when anybody is, is like, they're just moving weird or their,
01:09:13.680
There's a physical thing, but then there's also a spiritual thing or something inside of me where
01:09:18.300
it's like, sometimes someone could be like looking a certain way and I'm like, nah, it's,
01:09:24.560
But it's all, it's all in our genetic code, right? We're just animals as well. I mean,
01:09:28.220
think about it, right? You have a dog. I mean, now that, you know, we're, we both have farmland,
01:09:33.900
we know we have animals and you know, it doesn't take a genius to know that if a dog has his tail,
01:09:39.200
but it has his tail between his legs and he's got his ears pinned down that he means business.
01:09:43.120
He looks like he's going to act out in aggression, right? You're reading that body language of that
01:09:46.300
dog. So go ahead and pet that dog and see what it does to you. Right. So we do it as human beings
01:09:50.700
too. We do have body language and mannerisms where we're up to no fucking good. And when we are
01:09:56.640
being secretive or, or hiding something or don't want to say something or, or you're angry,
01:10:01.380
like, man, you seem angry to me or you're off today. Why do we say that? It's because like
01:10:05.080
instinctually as, as the, as a human being, as a, as a type of animal ourselves, we have
01:10:13.340
instinctual, um, deeper emotion and can tell these things within people. And we just, some
01:10:18.360
mis, misconstrued as, as, um, no, no, I don't know what you're talking about. And you're gaslighting
01:10:23.580
to thinking that you're crazy and it's not true. Like you're just very good at body language and
01:10:28.580
mannerisms and you know how to read it. I think that there is too, like, and you get
01:10:32.160
better and better. You get, yeah, there is like an aura, which is kind of brings me back
01:10:36.220
almost full circle to these religious types that put a restriction on God and what God
01:10:41.280
can do. But if God did create people and people are so sophisticated that I can give, I can give
01:10:47.760
you, I can make you feel awkward right now. If I really wanted to, I can just start doing
01:10:51.840
awkward shit and you would start acting awkward right back to me. Right. And anybody could see
01:10:56.280
the audience would be able to see it. I mean, you'd be able to feel it. Like, you just know,
01:10:59.060
like, I don't know about that. Like, yeah, even the audio listeners would just hear it
01:11:02.320
and they would be like, you would feel weird. It's such an amazing attribute that it's like,
01:11:06.740
now I'm going to go ahead and put a limit on what this, what this guy can do or what he's
01:11:11.180
capable of or, and put them in a box. It's, it's an insane way to think. Yeah. I just, I don't
01:11:15.960
know why it popped into my, but just like what, what is happening in Chicago, like how the
01:11:19.800
crime rate has skyrocketed. But, um, I forget who it was that is, um, their commissioner or the
01:11:25.640
governor, the lady looks like a beetle juice, a burnt beetle juice. Yeah. Um, yeah. And
01:11:31.260
you can tell she's saying, no crime rate is down. Right. But your face doesn't say crime
01:11:34.660
rate is down. Your face says you haven't slept in weeks cause crime rate is up. Yeah. And
01:11:38.580
right now they're probing your ass wondering what the fuck is going on and what are you
01:11:42.100
doing about it? But you're there gaslighting your own people, but anybody can see it.
01:11:46.160
Right. So if you just did a little paying attention, half the people can't, I mean, who's, whoever's
01:11:50.060
voting for them can't. So I guess, you know what? It's the fluoride in the drinking
01:11:53.700
water, man. It's the shit. It's some, it's some distraction. There's some distraction
01:11:57.660
full people into thinking that things are getting better. Right. Because you have, you
01:12:02.760
have elevated status in, in your society or in your community right there. So like they
01:12:06.780
must be right. Well, do your research for yourself. Look up. Those statistics are public
01:12:11.980
and you can do it all yourself. You just have to have the want and drive to. And if you don't,
01:12:16.160
if you're that person that, that is just satisfied with hearing something and believing it, I mean,
01:12:20.560
you're really stifling yourself and setting yourself up for major failure and disaster.
01:12:25.340
Yeah. I mean, this is like, you know, 1984 stuff. He's George Orwell was, you know, we've
01:12:29.240
always been at war with Eurasia. It was like, no, we weren't, but it was like, we always have.
01:12:32.820
And they're like, we always have been at war with Eurasia. It's just, it's just kind of
01:12:36.040
like a, I don't know, man, not people not trusting their, their intuition or just not
01:12:40.540
being in touch with, with not knowing exactly who they are and how they are supposed to
01:12:45.180
think, which is a, it's a shame. But so you know what? It's we're like over an hour and
01:12:51.780
Nick has to drive back. You're going to Okala. So you got it. You got a little way to go.
01:12:57.840
Before I let you out of here, I wanted to see if anyone in the spaces wanted a question,
01:13:03.060
but for sure, have you ever, one question for me, have you ever, cause you're out in
01:13:08.060
the woods in the middle of the night when you're doing the hog hunting, it's not, it's
01:13:12.540
It depends what time of year, man. Cause it's fucking hot during the summer. So
01:13:15.880
generally, yeah, at night or super early in the morning and you pray that you're not out
01:13:20.680
in that heat. I mean, um, but that's why you do it. Yeah. You're like, you pick your poison. I
01:13:24.320
mean, you could catch hogs in the middle of the day, but your dogs are not going to last.
01:13:26.720
They're going to overheat, man. It's way too hot and they're running. And there's been many
01:13:29.420
times where dogs have, um, we've had to carry the dogs and we do carry a lot of medical
01:13:34.460
equipment with us as well, including honey. Like when the dog needs some sort of nourishment
01:13:38.520
right then and there, you look at their gums. If the gums are pale and they kind of look
01:13:41.660
like they're hype. Some sugar. Yeah. Yeah. So we just take, take honey from a jar and
01:13:45.780
then we just rub it into their gums like cocaine, right? And just swoosh it in there. And they
01:13:50.340
do perk up. It'll save a dog's life. So if you have animals and they are overheating, first
01:13:55.120
of all, obviously I hope everyone is, I know everyone is smart enough to know that you take
01:13:58.860
them into a shady spot or into the air condition or use water to help cool them down like a, like
01:14:03.440
a lukewarm rag or something. And, um, carry honey with you. And if you're somebody that's
01:14:07.900
very active and you're running your dog and, or if you're somebody that's one of those,
01:14:11.100
um, those mean people that, that own like super, super duper shaggy, shaggy haired dogs
01:14:17.900
like Huskies in Florida, which were meant for cold weather climate. Yeah. Yeah. You better
01:14:22.920
be prepared, man, cause this dog is going to fall out faster than you know. Pro tip, honey.
01:14:26.600
Yeah. Yeah. Honey and water. Um, anyway, listen to the question you you're out there in the
01:14:30.960
middle of the night. Yeah. Um, you had, you said you've never run into any cryptids. You're like,
01:14:35.680
what's a cryptid like Bigfoot or whatever the fuck they got in Florida. Right. You ever
01:14:39.240
seen anything creepy? Because I mean, you're out in native land. He's, he's picking up oranges
01:14:44.700
from like ancient Indians that were here years ago. Yeah. From something like an old Seminole
01:14:48.800
trail. Yeah. And it was native, native Florida oranges and lemons. They were both. So that's,
01:14:52.860
that's planted by them. And we don't know, it could have been, I think it were planted by
01:14:56.740
the Spaniards when they, when they came into Florida. So you're on, you're on this, this like
01:15:00.780
people aren't going here, you know, ever, do you ever, I'm sure you felt some weird stuff
01:15:05.500
or are you just more focused on the task? Like what, what, anything happened to you out
01:15:09.080
there? Well, I'll tell you down, down in, in Okeechobee where we hunt, I'm mainly task
01:15:14.160
oriented. Right. I mean, you find cool things. Um, over there, I've found a lot of spearheads,
01:15:19.340
right? No, that's, I didn't find any spearheads in Okeechobee, but I, I have a bunch of, um, shark
01:15:24.080
teeth and mind you, it's still the middle of the state. Right. And there's shark teeth,
01:15:28.280
like megalodon teeth. Sometimes we find, you find one of those super cool. I'll bring
01:15:31.720
some in next time. Um, cause they're definitely taking a worth look at. Saber tooths itself.
01:15:36.620
Um, yeah. And you're like, man, or like, like crocodile teeth, but the shark teeth is like,
01:15:41.640
like, man, sharks are actually here at one point and you find a lot and they're usually
01:15:44.800
black in color. You go to Peace River and people, that's what Peace River is known for. They find
01:15:49.660
megalodon teeth, tusks, they find Indian artifacts, arrowheads, I mean, all sorts of stuff. But
01:15:55.320
in North Florida, again, this area particularly, I found, um, I found, uh, arrowhead and I found
01:16:01.420
a spear tip. And when you talk about mystic, like in the, in the manner in which you find
01:16:05.240
it, cause a lot of, a lot of, um, even, even a lot of, um, native, um, tribal people will
01:16:11.540
tell you, like, if you collect an artifact, um, like we're not in those tribes. So for us,
01:16:16.820
we don't really care about it. Um, but to them to like, you don't know what that was used
01:16:20.900
for. And that's what I was told. Like it not, not so much with arrowheads. Cause I went
01:16:25.320
to, um, to like this alligator wrestling competition, but it was in the Seminole Reserve,
01:16:29.660
big Cypress. We're going to link to that. Uh, do you have that on YouTube? I have, I have
01:16:33.560
that video of the, uh, like a short video of alligator wrestling competition. And those
01:16:38.320
guys are super bad. And it's, it's on your YouTube already. It's yes. It's on my YouTube
01:16:42.560
already. Cause I saw the world on my Instagram. We're going to link to it. Yeah. It's, it's
01:16:45.760
fucking, it's retarded, but it's great. So you're awarded points on the most tricks that
01:16:50.620
you can do. And basically your tricks are what you can do without getting bit. And if
01:16:54.540
you get bit, that's the prize, you get bit, you're fucked. Like you're losing something,
01:17:00.780
but they have like a awesome team of people that are obviously alligator trappers and
01:17:04.340
handlers. And, and, um, we did come across one guy that he tried this trick, um, and he
01:17:09.660
knew it would help him win the competition, but he ended up getting his big toe bitten off.
01:17:12.640
And I have that one in 240 frames a second. And I slowed it down to 500 frames a second
01:17:17.400
and it takes like basically six seconds in which occurred and it stretches it out to
01:17:21.020
like two minutes. And you see where he fucked up the very water drop that touched the tongue
01:17:26.560
of the alligator and how it just went boom. And then he looked like, Hey, help. And by
01:17:31.220
the time he did that, it was only a second and a half minutes, I help. And they jumped
01:17:35.300
in like, like four seconds later, just to confirm he couldn't do anything. And then the
01:17:39.200
alligator started to roll and that's when they jump in and they all like surround and
01:17:42.140
jump on top of the gator. And unfortunately twisted this, this brave souls toe right
01:17:47.980
off. Um, he's lucky. He's just got his toe. Yeah. And I actually recently, um, communicated
01:17:52.800
with him and sent them the video. Um, he reached out to me cause I told one of his buddies,
01:17:58.280
like he ended up, um, he ended up septic from, from the alligator bite and spent some time
01:18:03.600
in the hospital. Um, but he, yeah, he reached out to me, asked me if I had any footage.
01:18:08.480
He said, this is what I have. And I sent them everything. He's like, man, that is bad
01:18:11.400
ass. Like how you caught that. Um, and you know, I'm just glad to have been in that place.
01:18:16.120
And, and, you know, I never posted that video, um, out of respect. Um, cause I did see that
01:18:22.060
video from when people had recorded with their phones and there's a lot of bad publicity about
01:18:27.480
it. Like, you know, um, play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Motherfuckers. Listen, we're
01:18:31.720
in Florida, man. Live, live a little, do something extreme, do something like that guy. He won't
01:18:35.980
ever regret his life. I tell you that right now. Hell yeah. I mean, meanwhile, you can
01:18:39.620
sit in a shell and you'd be like, Oh, don't do that because it's not mainstream or the
01:18:42.620
norm. I'm telling you, fuck that. Live your life. Do shit. Run in the woods. Come hog hunting
01:18:47.560
with me. Go, go out, look at alligators, view wildlife, man. Like grow something that
01:18:52.340
you can eat and harvest yourself. Get some chickens, get some fresh, do something that you're going
01:18:56.900
to feel a little bit more fulfilled in life than to feel weird because you're like, Oh, I
01:19:00.560
don't, I don't think that people are going to accept this. Listen, this guy wrestled this alligator
01:19:03.800
and lost his toe. Fuck. Yeah. Fuck. That guy is so freaking awesome. I'll tell you what.
01:19:09.000
Um, I got nothing but respect for him and for the naysayers. I say, eat a dick, man.
01:19:13.600
You know what? Uh, this guy, Ronnie Coleman, you ever heard of that guy? Uh, right. He's
01:19:17.820
like the big black dude, a weightlifter. Yeah. I feel so bad because there's so much stuff
01:19:21.600
I'm going to talk about. Unfortunately, where I live right now, I'm still waiting on internet.
01:19:24.400
So like, I'm real stifled to like, when I go to work using that internet and tell
01:19:27.840
that we're going to do, we'll, we're going to do another episode, like, especially on
01:19:31.480
internet. I'll just send you a link and we can do this. Oh yeah, for sure. I'm sorry.
01:19:34.820
So I'll have, I'll have, um, I'll have my fiber optic set up showing us some shit. I'll
01:19:40.240
have my whole studio set up as well and get right back into him. I fell off the wagon
01:19:44.200
a little bit with getting the new house and stuff, but it is time. I was going to say the
01:19:48.800
guy, Ronnie Coleman, he's like, you know, big steroid user. I think like Mr. Olympia multiple
01:19:52.840
times. Right. And now he's like basically on those crutches with the arms and he's like,
01:19:56.800
his legs are fucked. I probably recognize him because I used to be into that, that shit too at one
01:20:00.680
time, man. Just for, for, you know, my job, I was trying to be as strong as possible and
01:20:04.560
got into the steroid world. And I'll tell you right now, it's, you're literally a human science
01:20:08.840
experiment. If you want to do it right, you need that expensive as a lot of money. You
01:20:12.660
need to, whatever the rocks on. Yeah. And you need to, whatever the rocks on. I mean,
01:20:16.560
unfortunately that's genetics and steroids. I mean, he's just genetically in his Samoans,
01:20:20.740
man. They're, they're big, big, beautiful people, man. He'd be six foot seven, 250 pounds
01:20:25.360
without steroids. The steroids just help him like maintain his crazy physique. And so I say people
01:20:29.500
that have the genetics already and they do it like you just become, you know, but for
01:20:33.420
the others that try to do it, like the best you can expect is I'll look healthier. Yeah.
01:20:37.340
I mean, so I'm sad. This guy said, this guy said, I'll look, yeah, you look, you look a
01:20:40.680
little better. He said, uh, they're like, do you regret it at all? Cause he's kind of
01:20:44.520
like walking around with these, these crutches on his back. So he says he lives in pain all
01:20:48.360
the time. And he was like, he says, you know, he's in pain. And sometimes he's like, maybe
01:20:51.960
I kind of, kind of regret it. But he was like, if he showed me a picture, I'll tell you
01:20:54.940
exactly what he was taking. Oh, yeah. No, he, everything. But he said, he said, you
01:20:59.960
know, I lived for a short amount of time for those couple of years, I was a God and
01:21:04.900
most people would never get to experience that. So he's like, do I regret it? No.
01:21:09.940
Because for that amount of time, I was like, you know, I was like a God among men.
01:21:15.460
You never were. I was, and now I'm in pain, but I had that. So I was like, that's a kind
01:21:20.200
of an interesting, and I'll tell you why, because muscles grow, but bones don't. Yeah.
01:21:24.420
Right. When you're done. Right. And this is what I mean by science, because you have
01:21:27.300
two factors in you, you have your insulin growth factors, IGF one and IGF two. IGF one
01:21:31.820
is strong when you're a kid. So when you have those growth spurts and the growth
01:21:34.160
plates, wherever IGF one is high. So the only way to get that as an adult is to take
01:21:37.600
human growth hormone, but because your bones are already done growing, you start
01:21:41.140
calcifying over your bones. That's why these people look at a woman that takes growth
01:21:44.000
hormone, right? And you'll see very prominent bony chin, very prominent shoulders,
01:21:48.160
spiky ass elbow. She looks like fucking knuckles from Sonic the Hedgehog. Like it's
01:21:53.400
because the bone can't grow anymore. So it starts to calcify over, but you
01:21:57.820
regenerate new muscle, but your bones won't get stronger. So when you stop
01:22:02.520
taking steroids and your body starts reverting back to its normal levels, to
01:22:07.100
its own homeostasis, because you were giving it extra geniusly right from the
01:22:10.560
outside, you'll notice you're like, damn, man, my fucking back. Like what the
01:22:15.840
hell are like, damn, I have bad knee pain right now. But just realize your muscles
01:22:18.900
are supporting that bone. And now the muscle structure doesn't support the bone
01:22:21.400
anymore. So now you really feel the effects. I could tell you like right now, my
01:22:24.420
knees for sure from deadlifting so much, I would, I mean, for a small person, I'm
01:22:27.960
only 165 pounds. So I'm at my best. I was 189 when I was cycling and I had it down
01:22:34.960
scientifically to a T blood test and everything. I did it the way you're
01:22:37.660
supposed to do it, but still it took a big toll on my health because now I'm having
01:22:41.720
knee problems. Like, yeah, well, that was probably because you were deadlifting, you know,
01:22:44.560
four or five plates, right? I can't do that now. And I would never dare try to do
01:22:48.100
it again. I can't even squat like a bar anymore. So I have to modify any workout
01:22:52.000
that I do to keep in shape. So mainly, uh, yeah, just, you know, know what you're
01:22:56.980
doing and don't exceed it. You can, you can still do all that stuff safely and you
01:23:00.740
don't have to go to such extreme levels that you're going to end up paying for
01:23:04.720
it, suffering later in life, having to fucking get surgery on your knees and hips
01:23:08.020
and shit and you're 40 years old. And it's stupid.
01:23:12.340
Yeah. So we're going to go to, uh, I'm going to take like one question from, uh,
01:23:18.080
from the, the Twitter spaces and hopefully we'll be able to hear you. If you want to
01:23:22.280
ask a question, just, uh, request to be a speaker and I'll, I'm going to pop you in
01:23:26.920
right now. This is something new. So I'm going to see how it works and hopefully it's
01:23:32.560
not a huge failure. If it is, I guess we'll just play. I'm going to, if it is, I'm going
01:23:36.240
to play the intro that, that I played on the intro because I don't have an outro and
01:23:40.520
we're going to get out of here, but yeah. Okay. We got one request. Let's see who we
01:23:43.680
got. Uh, all right. Dickie, my, my homie. All right. Uh, hell yeah. Dickie. Dickie, uh,
01:23:57.760
There you go. Raise that volume before you, before you ask the question, before you ask
01:24:05.500
the question. Yeah. There you go. We just want to raise the volume. We just want to raise
01:24:08.460
the volume. Cool. Cool. All right. Go ahead, man. Oh, wait, wait. Yeah, go ahead. Yeah,
01:24:19.580
go ahead. All right, man. Um, enjoy the show. Just one question. Uh, what do you, each of you
01:24:25.520
guys think that demons are? Do you think they are like fallen angels or do you think they're
01:24:30.080
like a Nephilim spirit or are they like a monkey? That's a very, uh, hot topic. So this is what
01:24:35.940
I, what I, hold on, raise it. Cause I hear myself talking and my ADHD is like, wow, I can't.
01:24:41.100
So yeah, little Dickie, I just muted. I mean, little Dickie, big Dickie. I just, little Dickie
01:24:45.880
is a ginger faggot. No, the big Dickie is the man. Um, yeah, I got to mute you because, uh,
01:24:52.460
we're getting feedback from you, but we heard you, we heard you answer the question. So we
01:24:55.660
heard you ask a question. Go ahead, Nick. What do you think? What do you think demons
01:24:58.220
are? So this is from, from like, I've really been getting into this stuff now and now we're,
01:25:03.300
we're, um, I don't know. I'm pretty sure you followed like all this UFO things, uh, shit
01:25:08.360
that's been going on. Uh, that's been happening publicly with the department of defense and there,
01:25:12.540
and even, uh, David Gresh, he's admitted that he doesn't quite believe that what is out
01:25:18.260
there is maybe otherworldly, but it can be, um, another dimension. And he, he mentioned
01:25:23.820
the word dimension. So we do know if you read the Bible that there are other dimensions,
01:25:28.480
right? There's, and they call them realms. There's a heavenly realm. And I just think
01:25:31.500
that, uh, how, how we are as human beings that we're going to, we're going to always lack
01:25:36.540
that, that full capability and understanding of what exactly it is because we really haven't
01:25:41.540
tapped into what the fourth dimension is or, and I'm sure, and there's other dimensions
01:25:46.360
as well, because, uh, you know, the, the, the furthest that we've come into understanding
01:25:51.240
other dimensions is through quantum physics. And they're admitting that there is a fourth
01:25:55.340
dimension and they, they consider like a, like a fourth dimensional cube would be considered
01:25:59.540
a tesseract. And, and if you look up to see what a tesseract actually is, see what your mind
01:26:03.640
thinks of it, right? You really can't put it together, but the fourth, the, the tesseract
01:26:07.520
is, is, is a cube that moves within itself on all directions and all accesses at all times.
01:26:13.440
So to us, it's, it's probably just as good as taking acid or taking some sort of hallucinogenic
01:26:18.440
and then you're like, Oh, I see all these shapes and weird things. Right. And what I believe
01:26:21.480
in that sense is your brain or your pineal gland or something is able to see, uh, bits
01:26:26.640
and pieces of what the fourth dimension is, but we can't comprehend it just yet. And I'm
01:26:31.540
sure, you know, as we, we, we progress in sciences, maybe, maybe not, but I'll tell you
01:26:37.340
this much. Um, I, I, I believe it's all intertwined one another. I believe that whatever
01:26:42.460
is we're finding from these other dimensions are what we consider demons. And it's just,
01:26:47.620
we put such a stigma on demons as their spirit being. Well, if it's a spirit being, it's a
01:26:52.340
being, correct? So that's what the Bible calls them as a spirit beings, fallen angels, whatever
01:26:56.740
you may have it, but the existence of them is very evident throughout history. And especially
01:27:02.360
with what we're finding out now with what information these people have gotten and who they say,
01:27:07.880
like there's just some figure came over the sea or something or came to them and then it
01:27:11.920
taught them, you know, how to, how to align to true North and true South by building structures
01:27:17.460
that were aligned with stars and different star systems, um, and whatever. So, um, yeah, I
01:27:23.740
honestly believe it's just the other dimensional beings that, that we can't quite understand or
01:27:29.600
comprehend or see. Um, and we just have to wait for the science to catch up or, you know,
01:27:35.740
trip all the time, but I don't think that, that is, that's highly not recommended. I mean,
01:27:40.140
I think, I think the science is, is intentionally, uh, pointing you in the wrong direction. Like
01:27:45.800
the science that they will approve and show us is never going to explain the spiritual nature of
01:27:50.920
the things that he's talking about. Um, because they don't want to sound crazy. They don't want
01:27:53.820
to say, cause you can talk too much. Right. And that's why these people didn't even come forward
01:27:56.980
with the UFOs. Like most of them that, I mean, and there's a lot of like weird shit that people
01:28:00.980
say, I saw they're, they're living in Roswell or living in that area. And they're saying, yeah,
01:28:04.460
I came over here, I came over there. I saw one and it tried to probe me or like, it's hard because
01:28:08.820
there are a lot of like fakers out there just for the attention. But then you listen to like
01:28:12.800
that whole department of defense thing where they were interviewed. Um, they interviewed this,
01:28:17.800
this highly accredited, highly accredited, um, military, uh, defense person. Um, and I wish I
01:28:24.280
understood the titles a little bit better, but all that matters that, and he, he, it's sad that they
01:28:29.460
had to go through such lengths to accredit themselves. So like I did X and Y for 20 years, blah, blah, blah. I've,
01:28:34.240
you know, I was part of the black aces, like flight squadron, like in order for people to believe you.
01:28:39.380
Yeah. And then they're saying like, well, listen, we don't know what it is, but we're just telling
01:28:42.580
you what we have factual. And this is what I paid attention to and all that. The facts, they have
01:28:47.440
radar blips and that's recorded data, right? They have video that is recorded government recorded
01:28:53.880
data. And it had recently become declassified, I suppose. So that he was allowed to show these
01:28:58.240
certain things, but yeah, man, I mean, more than likely in my belief that I'll entertain for
01:29:03.600
now until proven otherwise, uh, some demonic thing. Cause so far, like anything that we found
01:29:09.060
ships and stuff hasn't helped out, helped us out. Right. They're always saying that it's
01:29:12.040
either been harmful or it's been interfering with military operations. It's been hovering
01:29:15.340
over our nukes or it's been hovering over bases or like, like you think that we call target
01:29:20.120
hazards. I don't, I don't know. I don't know. Um, I think the aliens are, are Nephilim in nature.
01:29:26.920
I think that they're, so what is a demon? I think a demon, I would, I would say a demon
01:29:34.000
is, uh, is either not, not a fallen angel, but, but the offspring of a fallen angel or
01:29:39.020
something created by a fallen angel. It, I think if we accurately define what a demon
01:29:43.960
is, it lacks whatever humans have the soul or whatever divine spark that was, that God
01:29:51.580
put into it, that could be a demon, but then that can classify like, uh, aliens. I don't
01:29:57.600
think they have that divine spark. I think they're created by something else. I think
01:30:02.720
a demon would be more malicious in nature. So you'll have full, I think there, I think
01:30:06.160
there are fallen angels that have fallen and, and are actually might want to get back in
01:30:10.460
the good graces of God. And I think there are some that are just trying to wreak havoc
01:30:14.300
and cause as much chaos on earth as possible. Those, I would say demons, other ones I would
01:30:18.120
say fallen angels. I don't really know that there's other beings. There's, there's
01:30:23.180
government created shit like dog men and probably Sasquatch. These are like abominations
01:30:27.940
like that are mixed between. I just say is, is to, uh, to Dickie that, uh, you know, do,
01:30:35.480
do your own research as well, obviously. I mean, and what facts you find, you know, some puzzle
01:30:41.160
pieces will, will combine together and, and some won't. And you just want to, um, you, you
01:30:46.620
want to be able to convince yourself of what, of what you believe and, and, you know, listening
01:30:50.040
to others as well, but like comparing research and just really sticking to, to the facts of
01:30:54.180
what we do know and be open to the idea of, um, maybe it's going to require some, some
01:31:00.400
Bible reading, or maybe it requires some other reading like from the Apocrypha or book of
01:31:06.040
Enoch and just taking little, little bits and pieces like that. And then looking at real
01:31:09.520
world and real world instances that, Hey, they found some hieroglyphics or there's some
01:31:13.340
ancient writing. Um, and they have these pictures on it, but it's depicting something
01:31:19.300
that, that is, is way too advanced for their time. So, um, yeah, man, I mean, great question
01:31:25.400
though. Um, I think it's a good question. The answer is we don't, we don't fucking know.
01:31:30.020
Sorry, man. Sorry, Dickie, but we're going to, we're going to get out of here.
01:31:33.280
Entertain the thought. No matter what, there's no stupid thought about it. Just so you're trying
01:31:36.880
to find your own truth with it. So. Oh yeah. I'm just going to read a couple of comments.
01:31:40.640
It's a awesome second. Sorry. I wasn't paying attention when I have a live guest. It's, it's
01:31:44.760
hard for me to look at the screen and read the, cause some, sometimes the comments are
01:31:48.200
like hilarious. They asked me, uh, uh, yeah. Thanks for the awesome second episode. Thank
01:31:53.400
you. Somebody said, uh, I love this guy in of mice and men fucking hilarious. My boy,
01:32:00.340
Jose, uh, rabbits are delicious. Shout out Jose rabbits are delicious. Yeah. Right. I'm telling
01:32:05.060
you like you wouldn't, you wouldn't think that that thing you thought would taste weird or
01:32:08.120
something, but this guy wants us to play a guitar. That's the only fan section later.
01:32:11.320
You got to pay for that homeboy. Sorry, man. That's on the only fans. Yeah. But again,
01:32:15.540
it's an only bands. Wow. Okay. Yeah. We really got to go. That's only been, yo, thank you guys
01:32:23.780
for hanging out again. This is the top show. This is going to have to do for my outro because
01:32:27.780
I don't have one yet. So thanks for hanging out, man. I appreciate it.
01:32:30.980
The greatest hypnotist on planet earth is a oblong box in the corner of the room. It
01:32:36.880
is constantly telling us what to believe is real. If you can persuade them that what they
01:32:43.220
see with their eyes is what there is to see, because they'll laugh in the face of an explanation
01:32:50.280
that portrays the bigger picture of what's happening. And they have.
