Speaker 1: about this rather fascinating. I guess I just sort of

26
00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,720
Speaker 1: life change that you went through in my time of dying,

27
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:23,039
Speaker 1: how I came face to face with the idea of

28
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:26,360
Speaker 1: an afterlife, which is the name of your book, hugely

29
00:01:26,400 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: successful book. Sebastian. Welcome to the fifty five krs Morning Show.

30
00:01:30,840 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 2: Hey, thank you very much for having me.

31
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,920
Speaker 1: You know your I got it. You died. I'm gonna

32
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:39,320
Speaker 1: let you summarize what occurred to you and how life

33
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:43,000
Speaker 1: transformational this death experience was. But I got to tell

34
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: you I had a friend of my father's or one

35
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:49,640
Speaker 1: of my fathers, my late father's friends, went through almost

36
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: word for word, exactly what you experienced when you ended

37
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: up in the hospital. I mean he in his case,

38
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: he died and met his mom and ended up being

39
00:01:58,480 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: revived in your case as your father. So let's walk

40
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: through this and I think it's really important for my

41
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: listening audience to know that going into this experience, you

42
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:11,160
Speaker 1: were an atheist, a confirmed atheist.

43
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:15,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I still am. And my father was an

44
00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:19,200
Speaker 2: atheist and a physicist, which is like atheist square. So

45
00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 2: that's where my family and I are coming from. So

46
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,799
Speaker 2: I had a you know, I was a war reporter

47
00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:28,200
Speaker 2: for a long time, and I've come close to getting

48
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,600
Speaker 2: killed a number of times, and I'd made my sort

49
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:33,359
Speaker 2: of peace with that, and then I stopped war reporting.

50
00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:35,800
Speaker 2: I had a family. I felt like I sort of

51
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:38,960
Speaker 2: slid into home base. And I'm in good shape. I'm

52
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:41,360
Speaker 2: not a walking heart attack. I'm an athlete. I had

53
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,600
Speaker 2: no reason to have any concern for my medical wellbeing.

54
00:02:44,760 --> 00:02:47,440
Speaker 2: And in mid sentence, I felt that pain in my

55
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 2: abdomen and it wasn't I had an undiagnosed aneurism in

56
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 2: my pacriatic artery, which is this little artery that no

57
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 2: one needs to think about. And an aneurism is a

58
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,960
Speaker 2: sort of unnatural ballooting in the side of the artery

59
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 2: that will eventually burst, and when it ruptures, you start

60
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,600
Speaker 2: bleeding out into your own abdomen. And the problem with

61
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:10,320
Speaker 2: that is doctors don't know where it is. If you

62
00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 2: get stabbed in the stomach, they know where to plug

63
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:15,120
Speaker 2: the leak, as it were, but not if it's internal hemorrhage,

64
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,560
Speaker 2: which is what I had. I lost half of my blood.

65
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,560
Speaker 2: It took me an hour and a half to get

66
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 2: to the hospital. I lost at least half my blood,

67
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:24,640
Speaker 2: if not more, and I was an end stage hemorrhagic

68
00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:28,840
Speaker 2: shock when I got there. And while they were trying

69
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 2: to get a pick line into my jugguler to transfuse me,

70
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,200
Speaker 2: I needed ten units of blood, basically a full oil change.

71
00:03:37,280 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 2: Right while they were doing that, I felt myself getting

72
00:03:41,400 --> 00:03:44,680
Speaker 2: pulled into this black pit, this sort of infinitely black pit,

73
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 2: like the universe had cracked open. I had no idea

74
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,080
Speaker 2: I was dying, but I was terrified of going into

75
00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 2: this darkness. And then my father, my dead father, appeared

76
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:58,680
Speaker 2: above me and communicated to me, it's okay. Basically, it's okay.

77
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 2: I'll take care of you. You don't have to fight it.

78
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:04,800
Speaker 2: I'll take care of you. And I was horrified, but

79
00:04:04,800 --> 00:04:07,480
Speaker 2: I was like, I don't want to be with you.

80
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:11,440
Speaker 2: I want I want to stay here like and I said,

81
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:13,680
Speaker 2: on that point, on that point, I hate the interrupt

82
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 2: But on that point, were you I mean, I don't

83
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: want to be with you.

84
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 1: Was that a recognition that this was death? And I mean,

85
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,760
Speaker 1: you knew your dad was dead and you were talking

86
00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:25,200
Speaker 1: or he was speaking with you from apparently beyond the

87
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: grave or some sort. So is that is that where

88
00:04:26,960 --> 00:04:27,880
Speaker 1: your fearstem from?

89
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 2: Well, you know, when you've lost half your blood, your

90
00:04:30,600 --> 00:04:34,600
Speaker 2: brain's not working very well. I never connected those dots, right.

91
00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:37,839
Speaker 2: I was very puzzled to see him hovering above me.

92
00:04:38,040 --> 00:04:41,720
Speaker 2: I mean, A, you're dead. B why are you floating right?

93
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:43,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I just I was. I can't tell you

94
00:04:43,720 --> 00:04:46,800
Speaker 2: how puzzled I was. And he was basically offering to

95
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 2: take care of me. Come with me, I'll take care

96
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:50,680
Speaker 2: of you. I was like, why would I go? You're dead?

97
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 2: Why would I want to go with you? The party's

98
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,479
Speaker 2: over here. We'll talk later, like in a long time. Yeah, later.

99
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: And I said to the doctor, you have to hear

100
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,160
Speaker 2: I'm going right, And as he was working to get

101
00:05:04,160 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 2: the line into my neck.

102
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: Wow, Well, now that is one element that differs from

103
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: the friend of my father's, because he was in my

104
00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:15,920
Speaker 1: view of it, I use the term piece of God

105
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,320
Speaker 1: all the time. You know, it's like the piece of

106
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,400
Speaker 1: God that passes all human understanding. I think he experienced

107
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 1: something like one would believe the piece of God. No anxiety,

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 1: full relief, joy, happiness, no worries, no concerns, And when

109
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: he saw his mother speaking with him, I mean, he

110
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,000
Speaker 1: was just totally enlightened. But he looked down and saw

111
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,880
Speaker 1: himself on the operating table. He heard the doctors talking

112
00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: to each other. And some may argue, going back to

113
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,240
Speaker 1: your point about a dream state, was he really experiencing

114
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,760
Speaker 1: sort of a dream at the time his cognitive functions

115
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 1: were still working and this was a manufactured thing. Or

116
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,000
Speaker 1: was he indeed experiencing an afterlife? And is that sort

117
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,479
Speaker 1: of what led you on this post experience journey that

118
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: you went on that you write about in the book.

119
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:59,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, So afterwards, I was very, very puzzled by what happened.

120
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: And they managed to save my life. They got enough

121
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 2: flood into me. They used a individual radiology a catheter

122
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:09,960
Speaker 2: to get through my venous system, through my arterial system

123
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,680
Speaker 2: to the rupture and plug it. Amazing, amazing medical care.

124
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 2: And I woke up in the ICU the next morning,

125
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: and I went through all this conscious because they couldn't

126
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,120
Speaker 2: sedate me because my vital size was so low. So

127
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 2: the next after I got home from the hospital, I

128
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,640
Speaker 2: started reading about NDS near death experiences and what I

129
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 2: found out was that what I experienced seeing a dead

130
00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:37,120
Speaker 2: loved one is very very common. And uh, and I

131
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:40,280
Speaker 2: started to so I started to explore that, and the

132
00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:42,680
Speaker 2: the you know, the the ultimate question and maybe the

133
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 2: ultimate mystery is, as you say, are these just the

134
00:06:47,480 --> 00:06:50,760
Speaker 2: hallucinations of a dying brain? Or are is it a

135
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:54,520
Speaker 2: glimpse into into the fact that we may not understand

136
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,960
Speaker 2: reality completely? We may not understand it very well. I mean,

137
00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 2: we may not understand consciousness and life and death in

138
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: any way. And is this are these visions death bad visions?

139
00:07:07,480 --> 00:07:10,239
Speaker 2: Are Are they showing us a glimpse of an ultimate

140
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 2: reality which would be a sort of unity of all consciousness?

141
00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: That that sort of idea?

142
00:07:15,080 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 1: Now, did this experience transform you in a sense? That

143
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: what quite often what I've read, and of course there

144
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,200
Speaker 1: have been multiple accounts, as you point out, and of this,

145
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: other people experiencing very comparable things. Did you come back

146
00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:31,440
Speaker 1: with a more profound appreciation for life? Like you know what? Uh,

147
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:33,960
Speaker 1: It's like I always do agree. You know, you could

148
00:07:33,960 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: die any day. You could go outside, a bustle hit

149
00:07:35,920 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 1: you weren't planning for it. You know, we don't all

150
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,720
Speaker 1: go through like a long arduous battle with cancer. Sometimes

151
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: bad things happen and you just check out without a

152
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: moment's notice. So knowing that you literally can check out

153
00:07:46,520 --> 00:07:49,080
Speaker 1: with a moment's notice, as you almost did, did it

154
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:51,840
Speaker 1: change you and how you see life on a day

155
00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:52,520
Speaker 1: to day basis?

156
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 2: Excuse me? Yes, yes it did, but you know, with

157
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,720
Speaker 2: a sort of caveat, with a sort of asterisk. So

158
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 2: if you realize you can die, not only any day,

159
00:08:03,080 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 2: at any moment, it shed a very very bright light

160
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,760
Speaker 2: on what the experience of life is and it can

161
00:08:11,800 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 2: make you very very paranoid, right, I mean you literally

162
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,120
Speaker 2: think I could die at any moment. It's very very

163
00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:23,360
Speaker 2: hard to relax, right, And that terror is the flip

164
00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,240
Speaker 2: side of reverence. So yeah, I could die at any moment.

165
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 2: That's terrifying. Or I could die at any moment. I

166
00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 2: have a great reverence and thankfulness for the fact that

167
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:35,080
Speaker 2: I exist right now, and they sort of go hand

168
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 2: in hand and by at one point, so I went

169
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:44,680
Speaker 2: through a period of extreme anxiety. It took quite a

170
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 2: months a year to sort of get out of that,

171
00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: and it eventually where I landed was a kind of

172
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 2: calm appreciation of how sort of blessed we are, and

173
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,480
Speaker 2: I mean blessed in a secular sense, right, I'm not religious,

174
00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 2: but how blessed we all are to exist at all.

175
00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 2: And it's easy to forget that when you're stuck in

176
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:04,959
Speaker 2: a traffic jam or you know, running to you doing

177
00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,040
Speaker 2: the groceries or whatever.

178
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:09,079
Speaker 1: All right, well, I have a good question for you particularly,

179
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:11,440
Speaker 1: and I think it's most appropriate for you because of

180
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 1: your being at about atheist. Where did your terror come from?

181
00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,040
Speaker 1: I know people that are afraid of death because they

182
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:20,320
Speaker 1: remember what they did during their life, and you can't

183
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:21,960
Speaker 1: pat yourself on the back for all the things you

184
00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: did in life. Quite often religion will bring about that.

185
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 1: It's like watching the Ebenezer screwge. You know, he looks like,

186
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:30,040
Speaker 1: oh my God, look what's going to happen to me?

187
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:32,040
Speaker 1: If I don't change my ways, I will be doomed

188
00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: to eternal power or a peril. No, if I think

189
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: that's a possibility, that's going to scare the hell out

190
00:09:38,440 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: of me. So I would have terror thinking that I

191
00:09:40,440 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: might die if I haven't changed my life or otherwise

192
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,480
Speaker 1: undone the bad that I've done. But how about in

193
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:51,959
Speaker 1: your case? Because honestly, sir, regardless of my personal philosophy

194
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: about life, death and doctrine and dogma, I've kind of

195
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,640
Speaker 1: come to a realization that I'm not afraid of death.

196
00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: I've reconciled myself with that. I'm prepared to meet my

197
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: make or I'm prepared for whatever comes. And you know,

198
00:10:03,840 --> 00:10:05,720
Speaker 1: if they pull a plug of meat right now I'm

199
00:10:05,720 --> 00:10:07,720
Speaker 1: on the morning show, I can handle that. I at

200
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,120
Speaker 1: least I think I can. I don't live in terror

201
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:11,439
Speaker 1: or fear of death at all.

202
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,120
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I you know, it was a consequence

203
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:19,280
Speaker 2: of trauma, right, I've been in a lot of combat

204
00:10:19,280 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 2: and was traumatized by that. A lot of people who

205
00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: have made their peace with dying are still traumatized by

206
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,960
Speaker 2: the events that they saw on the battlefield. And I

207
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:32,200
Speaker 2: was very traumatized by this experience. You know, in mid

208
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,800
Speaker 2: sentence talking to my wife, all of a sudden, I

209
00:10:34,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 2: was circling the drain, and that that could happen at

210
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:42,200
Speaker 2: any moment can make you overly self aware, right, overly

211
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:45,520
Speaker 2: conscious of your moment to moment experience I also had

212
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,920
Speaker 2: very young children. I came to fatherhood late in my

213
00:10:47,960 --> 00:10:51,360
Speaker 2: mid fifties. I love them more than life itself, and

214
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,640
Speaker 2: they are life itself for me. And so the idea

215
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:56,480
Speaker 2: of being sort of plucked, plucked out of my family,

216
00:10:56,880 --> 00:11:00,719
Speaker 2: leaving my family with the records of my death, it

217
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:02,440
Speaker 2: just I couldn't bear to think about it.

218
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:05,040
Speaker 1: That I get that makes perfect sense to me, because

219
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:06,679
Speaker 1: you know, I have a wife, I have family, I

220
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:10,520
Speaker 1: love them dearly, and yeah, the idea of missing them.

221
00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:12,960
Speaker 1: But see, then that goes back to is there something

222
00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: afterward that will cause you to miss them? I don't

223
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,640
Speaker 1: know what's coming. In my philosophy. I don't believe in ghosts.

224
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,160
Speaker 1: For example, Sebastian, I don't want to believe in the afterlife.

225
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,839
Speaker 1: I'm going to be looming around lurking, watching what people

226
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:27,800
Speaker 1: are doing, or scaring the crap out of people. I

227
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: think God or we have a greater mystery out there

228
00:11:30,440 --> 00:11:33,320
Speaker 1: to contemplate than something like that. So I choose not

229
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:34,720
Speaker 1: to believe in them because I don't want to believe

230
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: in that as a concept. So, but that longing and

231
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:44,800
Speaker 1: that thinking about your current cognitive awareness of people and

232
00:11:44,880 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: interactions and people thinking about you were talking about you

233
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,920
Speaker 1: that that has to continue to exist after you die,

234
00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:52,760
Speaker 1: to have some concern about what it's going to be.

235
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:54,760
Speaker 1: Like I like to think that that's over with.

236
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,400
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, we may be over with that. But you know,

237
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:02,920
Speaker 2: it was more an understanding now as a person who

238
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 2: is alive, that this could all end my right and

239
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:10,640
Speaker 2: that's that's kind of that's kind of wrenching it and

240
00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:13,920
Speaker 2: it it and also it was more the concern was

241
00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,200
Speaker 2: more what you would do to my family more left

242
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:18,680
Speaker 2: behind like that was that was a very very painful

243
00:12:18,679 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 2: idea very young kids. And you know, I just I

244
00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 2: was too unbearable, unbearable to think about.

245
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: I get it in my time of dying, how I

246
00:12:26,679 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 1: came face to face with the idea of an afterlife.

247
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:33,079
Speaker 1: My guest today Sebastian Younger. Again, this is empower You

267
00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:26,560
Speaker 1: you very much. Thanks my friend eight nineteen. Right now

268
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,199
Speaker 1: fifty five KCD talk station, Sean will open up the

269
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:30,760
Speaker 1: phone lines. We have time to talk. I got other

270
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:32,600
Speaker 1: stories we can talk about. Maybe there's something I talked

271
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: about earlier. You want to chime in on it, feel

272
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:36,920
Speaker 1: free to do so, but that'll be after I mentioned

273
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,520
Speaker 1: my friends at Foreign Exchange. I really do view them

274
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,480
Speaker 1: as friends. It's kind of like family. Every time I

275
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,920
Speaker 1: go there, I know them all. I've been going there

276
00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:44,560
Speaker 1: for years, and there's a good reason I've been going

277
00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:47,640
Speaker 1: to Foreign Exchange for automobile repairs for years. I save

278
00:13:47,880 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: a lot of money. Plus, they get that family like environment.

279
00:13:50,720 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: They have a sc certified master technicians that know how

280
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,839
Speaker 1: to work on any imported or traditionally imported car you

281
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:58,160
Speaker 1: bring them, whether it's from Asia or Europe, exotic or

282
00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:00,880
Speaker 1: run of the middle. Plus they serve as Tesla's as

283
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: well boss certified business it is. You get a full

284
00:14:04,200 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 1: warranty on parts and service and the greatest thing about

285
00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:11,559
Speaker 1: it less money than the deal or deal. We all

286
00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,480
Speaker 1: know automobile repairs have gone through the roof, so you

287
00:14:14,520 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: can take some of the edge off of that by

288
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,079
Speaker 1: going to Foreign Exchange, and you will be glad you

289
00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: went there. The one I go to the location Westchester.

00:14:21,240 --> 00:14:24,200
Speaker 1: That's the Tylersville exit right off of I seventy five.
