1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:10,240
Speaker 1: Of sofas recording, Anguilla gets all the listeners about the ring.

2
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,880
Speaker 1: It you just women because it just entertained me so much. Well,

3
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: I'm hoping everyone can visualize it because give us the description.

4
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:21,440
Speaker 1: So you know, we've all done a million zooms at

5
00:00:21,480 --> 00:00:24,480
Speaker 1: this point. Well, Kelly will text me a zoom link

6
00:00:24,520 --> 00:00:26,800
Speaker 1: when we're not together and be like here, dialand to

7
00:00:26,880 --> 00:00:28,960
Speaker 1: this one and like it kills me. It's got like

8
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,840
Speaker 1: seventeen phone numbers that you can call in from, but

9
00:00:31,960 --> 00:00:35,720
Speaker 1: we're doing a video meeting and it's like from New York,

10
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,720
Speaker 1: I call your local number in Washington, d C. To

11
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:43,120
Speaker 1: come Washington. It's also so random that they're like these

12
00:00:43,159 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 1: are the cities that they choose for you, New York, Chicago, Tacoma, Houston,

13
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:54,520
Speaker 1: and Denver. I wonder, like Tacoma has a lot of

14
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,319
Speaker 1: like startup people. But why wouldn't San Fran be on here.

15
00:00:57,680 --> 00:00:59,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. That's a great question for Zoom. I'm

16
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: sure there's some reason behind us that we don't know.

17
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,680
Speaker 1: And I actually just said to you too, I know

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 1: I don't need to be sending that whole thing, but

19
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: I don't know what part I do need to send,

20
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:11,240
Speaker 1: So I just send it all, but I figure it out.

21
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 1: I figure it out, and the best part is at

22
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:19,280
Speaker 1: the bottom. It's got um. You know, you call from

23
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 1: anywhere you can call it like Argentina, Australia. You can't

24
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: call from the Bahamas or Bahrain though, so sorry. You

25
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: do know. I've done podcasts with people from Australia in

26
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: places like that, so it's not unheard of. Yeah that's true,

27
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,800
Speaker 1: but nobody's calling me. We're just doing internet. Yeah, we're

28
00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: doing internet. I know it is twenty twenty three. But

29
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: Chip and I are both under the weathers. That's why

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,040
Speaker 1: we're not together. We are Oh my god, did my

31
00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: power just go out? I don't know what just happened

32
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: for the listeners, but what just happened here is that

33
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: my WiFi went out. I actually thought my whole power

34
00:01:54,040 --> 00:01:57,680
Speaker 1: went out, but it just was a breaker. I thought

35
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,920
Speaker 1: Zoom was fucking with me because I was making fun

36
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:04,520
Speaker 1: of Zoom. Literally, it was like the weirdest moment. I'm

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:06,880
Speaker 1: sitting here and I'm like Chip and I are both sick.

38
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: This is gonna be a shit show. And then my

39
00:02:08,960 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 1: power goes out. It's like, well, yeah, we're gonna wake

40
00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: up in the moment, I guess at this point, you know,

41
00:02:17,440 --> 00:02:20,799
Speaker 1: like I don't even really know anyone, it really is.

42
00:02:21,240 --> 00:02:24,600
Speaker 1: I was talking to Marv um, my astrologer. We actually

43
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: have a podcast that'll come out next week, and he's

44
00:02:27,200 --> 00:02:29,440
Speaker 1: just talking a lot about like the energy that's coming

45
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: in March, and like there's some things. Oh yeah, so

46
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: he's saying some big changes are coming our way, and

47
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm like really like, um, well, you'll just have to

48
00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: listen and see chip. But um, I mean, like, you know,

49
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: nothing bad that happens, even the pandemic or anything like

50
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: the way Marv always explains it to me, it's like

51
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,359
Speaker 1: it felt really bad and there were a lot of

52
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: hard circumstances and the deaths and you know, painful situations,

53
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,880
Speaker 1: but ultimately, for the universe and for our world, not

54
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: the universe, for our world, there's been a there's probably

55
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,200
Speaker 1: a lot that came from it that maybe as humans

56
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: we need to evolve into. Right. So kind of like

57
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: in your own personal life, when you go through something hard,

58
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,360
Speaker 1: you have the choice to learn from it and grow

59
00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: or just like keep going and burying it and all

60
00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 1: the things. And so that's kind of how Marv explains

61
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: all that to me, and so anyway, maybe you know

62
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: what it's like literally the last week of February, so

63
00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:33,519
Speaker 1: maybe we're just doo doo doo doo doo doo. Yeah,

64
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: what's right now? Nothing, that's the weird part. Nothing is

65
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: in retrograde. We're supposed to be moving forward at rapid

66
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:45,640
Speaker 1: speed right now. Oh, I know. Interesting. Anyway, So Chip

67
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:49,960
Speaker 1: was talking about the interesting things about the Zoom send

68
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: off the Zoom. If you are listening, if that was

69
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,280
Speaker 1: like a punishment, tell us how to do that, because

70
00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: we clearly don't know. This month was all about expansion

71
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:02,960
Speaker 1: here on the Velvet Edge podcast. I say this every month,

72
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,200
Speaker 1: I feel, but I really really really loved the podcast

73
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:09,800
Speaker 1: this month in the topic and it might have been

74
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: a little scary for some people. That was sort of

75
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,400
Speaker 1: the feedback that I got was kind of like woe.

76
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,080
Speaker 1: But to me, that's like what life is about. And

77
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:24,000
Speaker 1: so I get really personally excited because I'm just like,

78
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,279
Speaker 1: oh my god, there's all these interesting things to learn,

79
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: and I'm a learner and I'm a thinker, and I

80
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 1: love to just meet new people who can offer new

81
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 1: insights into this world or just new perspectives. I don't

82
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,440
Speaker 1: even have to agree with them, But there's something about

83
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: hearing something completely different from what you thought or what

84
00:04:43,080 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: maybe you've lived your life believing and going, huh, what

85
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 1: do I believe? Like just that moment where it takes

86
00:04:49,600 --> 00:04:52,680
Speaker 1: you into a place of analyzing your thoughts and actually

87
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,160
Speaker 1: making sure that something is truly in line with you.

88
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: Did you feel that at all this month? Chip? Yeah?

89
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,760
Speaker 1: I mean I also I recognize this month too that

90
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of the people who I love,

91
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,880
Speaker 1: particularly on like family side, sometimes you have to, like

92
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,880
Speaker 1: I have to figure out a way to love them

93
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 1: through disagreement, you know, like understanding that, like you just

94
00:05:16,920 --> 00:05:19,040
Speaker 1: are never going to be aligned on certain things and

95
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:22,200
Speaker 1: that can be okay because their their experience is going

96
00:05:22,240 --> 00:05:26,600
Speaker 1: to be different from yours. Yeah, and you know the

97
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 1: you know, I like to think that I'm on the

98
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 1: right side of history for everything, but I know that

99
00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:36,000
Speaker 1: that's not possible. So I you know, it's like sometimes

100
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,120
Speaker 1: it is just like that expansion is like giving it

101
00:05:38,240 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 1: the people around you some grace to understand that their

102
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,320
Speaker 1: experience is different than yours. Yeah. So the podcast that

103
00:05:44,360 --> 00:05:47,840
Speaker 1: went up this week actually was on Wednesday for the

104
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:50,720
Speaker 1: Velvet Side of Things was with a past life psychic

105
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,480
Speaker 1: Amsley McLeod. He was on Oprah and Ellen, and can

106
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,160
Speaker 1: I tell you, I was literally fan girling, like it

107
00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:59,840
Speaker 1: was like most people would get really excited about the musicians,

108
00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:01,480
Speaker 1: and I was like, oh my god, oh my god,

109
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: oh my god. When I saw his face, I was

110
00:06:04,360 --> 00:06:07,159
Speaker 1: just like such a nerd and so geeking out because

111
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: I mean, Oprah and Ellen, like those are big platforms,

112
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: and so I was like, oh my god, welcome to

113
00:06:11,440 --> 00:06:16,880
Speaker 1: the Velvet Edge podcast guy. It was crazy, but I've

114
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:19,640
Speaker 1: read his books, I personally did a session with him,

115
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: and I really believe in the work he's doing. And

116
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: I know for some people it probably sounds really intense

117
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: and crazy, but slowly dip your toe in and see

118
00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 1: if any of it resonates. But it's all about soul

119
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 1: levels and not soul levels in like a rating like

120
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:37,599
Speaker 1: one through ten one is good and one is bad,

121
00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:41,280
Speaker 1: but basically how long our souls have lived here. And

122
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,800
Speaker 1: I believe in this because of some of the experiences

123
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,840
Speaker 1: I've had in this life and just sort of how

124
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,760
Speaker 1: I feel on a day to day basis. But in

125
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,599
Speaker 1: line with what you're saying, like, I do think that personally,

126
00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:55,280
Speaker 1: I believe that like some people have been here longer,

127
00:06:55,920 --> 00:06:58,720
Speaker 1: if some people are younger souls, and we've all been

128
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,000
Speaker 1: younger souls. But the way he describes it is that

129
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: young souls are a little fearful of people that are

130
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:07,720
Speaker 1: different from them or things that are different, whereas old

131
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:10,520
Speaker 1: souls have probably lived a life as one of those

132
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:13,000
Speaker 1: kinds of people, and so we have we tend to

133
00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,160
Speaker 1: have a little more empathy. And um, I thought that

134
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,880
Speaker 1: was such an interesting way to look at a lot

135
00:07:17,960 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: of the things happening in our culture right now. And

136
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: like for me personally sitting there thinking, oh, well, this

137
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:27,520
Speaker 1: is why arguing with that person is probably pointless. Like

138
00:07:28,240 --> 00:07:30,200
Speaker 1: if I can have a decent conversation or I can

139
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:33,560
Speaker 1: say my piece about certain things and we can both

140
00:07:33,600 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: be respectful, great, But I'm not sure that we're always

141
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:42,480
Speaker 1: going to fully align because some people's experience in these

142
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:46,280
Speaker 1: situations is just led by a lot more fear. Yeah,

143
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,960
Speaker 1: and little it's you can also always find something that

144
00:07:51,160 --> 00:07:54,840
Speaker 1: you can agree on to talk about when there are

145
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: things that I would say from most people like yeah,

146
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: if if it's politics that you don't agree on, or

147
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,120
Speaker 1: if it's something political or a hot button issue, that

148
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:10,880
Speaker 1: you don't agree on then talk about something that has

149
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 1: nothing to do with that, Because I do believe that

150
00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: most people come from a pure place. But again, everyone's

151
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:21,520
Speaker 1: journey is different, the life of their soul is different.

152
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:23,800
Speaker 1: I believe that too. I have a question. Is he

153
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,560
Speaker 1: the guy that, like, I forget what the book was,

154
00:08:28,600 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 1: but I remember what Oprah is saying, like her soul

155
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: like her souls on its last Like the reason why

156
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,839
Speaker 1: she's so operating at a different level is her soul

157
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: is like on its last cycle. I don't know the verbiage,

158
00:08:39,440 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: but I remember hearing about this and it was like

159
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: so in line with not anything that I've ever read,

160
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,760
Speaker 1: just kind of what I've always thought, like, there has

161
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,439
Speaker 1: to be new souls and has to be old souls,

162
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,600
Speaker 1: and it's the only thing that makes anything makes sense

163
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 1: in terms of how different we all are. So is

164
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 1: he the guy that wrote that book? It is the guy.

165
00:08:57,240 --> 00:08:59,480
Speaker 1: The book that she did her podcast on with him

166
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:04,360
Speaker 1: was called Instruction, and he has since written another one.

167
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,880
Speaker 1: He has two other ones. One it's called The Transformation,

168
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,240
Speaker 1: but then the one that I just read that I

169
00:09:09,280 --> 00:09:11,360
Speaker 1: would highly recommend to people to start with is called

170
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 1: The Old Soul's guide Book one word, sorry, not too

171
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: and anyway, it kind of it really breaks down kind

172
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: of similar things as the instruction, but in a much

173
00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:24,719
Speaker 1: more simple way. So it was easier for me to

174
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: understand to begin with. And it's not hard to understand,

175
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:33,079
Speaker 1: like it's very easy. Yeah, Oprah's on her ninth level,

176
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: which actually there's a tenth level, but I'm also on

177
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,600
Speaker 1: my ninth. I'm fucking old, man, It's why I'm so tired.

178
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,199
Speaker 1: That's what I kept saying. I'm curious and maybe I

179
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:45,679
Speaker 1: should just go listen to the podcast. But where does

180
00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: a new soul come from? And where does an old

181
00:09:49,840 --> 00:09:55,760
Speaker 1: soul good? After level ten? So there's all these different

182
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: planes that he describes. One is here planet Earth. I

183
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:04,720
Speaker 1: can't remember what he calls that, but you're on this planet.

184
00:10:04,760 --> 00:10:06,880
Speaker 1: Then there's the astral plane, which is where we go

185
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 1: between lifetimes to really kind of like rest and recover

186
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:14,120
Speaker 1: and then decide what we want for our next lifetime,

187
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: like what kind of parents do we want to be

188
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:22,480
Speaker 1: born into, what place we want to live, what time

189
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:27,160
Speaker 1: of the year, what time of life like I was

190
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 1: born in nineteen eighty two, and I picked that, you know,

191
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: for this lifetime. I picked my parents, I picked the

192
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 1: exact relationships I picked at all, Like, you make these

193
00:10:35,520 --> 00:10:38,439
Speaker 1: soul contracts with other people in your soul family to

194
00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:41,520
Speaker 1: come down to this earth, and the whole purpose is

195
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:45,600
Speaker 1: to learn the lessons that you need to to keep evolving,

196
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,120
Speaker 1: Like he says, the whole purpose of our soul is

197
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,800
Speaker 1: to learn to love and to learn empathy. And so

198
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:55,160
Speaker 1: we'll keep creating these scenarios until we get to places

199
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,480
Speaker 1: of like, Okay, I got that one, and I can

200
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: kind of like love in a different capacity. I can

201
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,000
Speaker 1: have empathy in a different place. It doesn't mean you're

202
00:11:04,040 --> 00:11:07,280
Speaker 1: ever perfect, because not this ever are, especially in this world.

203
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:10,000
Speaker 1: But then you'll go back to the astal plane. And

204
00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 1: then once you finish, like you go through your tenth

205
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: level and you are like, okay, that was it. You

206
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: go to the causal plane and your soul just there,

207
00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:26,120
Speaker 1: just is. I'm like, I can't wait, let's go right.

208
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,640
Speaker 1: But I think like one through five is our young soul,

209
00:11:30,679 --> 00:11:32,599
Speaker 1: and it's I mean, I'm sure if anyone's listening and

210
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: they're like, this is fucking crazy. This bitch has completely

211
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: lost it, I understand. It's a lot and it sounds weird,

212
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:42,640
Speaker 1: but it was like what you said and about the

213
00:11:42,679 --> 00:11:45,080
Speaker 1: Oprah podcast is exactly how I felt. It just hit

214
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,959
Speaker 1: and I was like, this is it. I actually know

215
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: this is like true, you know for me it is

216
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:55,240
Speaker 1: at least so I get it if you don't believe it,

217
00:11:55,440 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: but that is what resonates for me, and it makes

218
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,400
Speaker 1: everything in my life makes sense. He also talked about

219
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:04,679
Speaker 1: your soul's personality, which you pick before you come, and

220
00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: it is so spot on and so interesting when you

221
00:12:08,280 --> 00:12:11,400
Speaker 1: look at like why you're drawn to certain things will

222
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:14,520
Speaker 1: click if you know your person your soul's personality, or

223
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:19,280
Speaker 1: like why certain things really don't click, and just different

224
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,079
Speaker 1: things like that. So I don't know, he was fascinating.

225
00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:24,679
Speaker 1: And even if you're like this is a bunch of bullshit,

226
00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: maybe just go listen and see if there's like anything

227
00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: you can pull because at the end of the day,

228
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:34,400
Speaker 1: the main topic of like love and growth and evolution

229
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,000
Speaker 1: and empathy are like the important pieces of this life

230
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: to me anyway, So maybe you could even take that,

231
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:42,880
Speaker 1: take what you like, leave the rest to that kind

232
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: of thing, right right. We also talked to a porn

233
00:12:46,200 --> 00:12:49,600
Speaker 1: star this month. What do you think about that? I'm mean,

234
00:12:50,520 --> 00:12:56,080
Speaker 1: I was fascinated by her, Like, yeah, I did love her.

235
00:12:56,160 --> 00:12:58,319
Speaker 1: And it was funny because afterwards, like you and I

236
00:12:58,400 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: had a conversation where it was like you were a

237
00:13:01,240 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: little worried that even saying like, oh my god, you

238
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,040
Speaker 1: like breaking down what I was expected, Like you're so

239
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,440
Speaker 1: much smarter than I expected, whether or not she would

240
00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:13,439
Speaker 1: take that in the wrong way. And I think, like

241
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:17,079
Speaker 1: she must get that all the time, you know, because

242
00:13:17,080 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: I do think that, like we you know, it's I

243
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:25,160
Speaker 1: don't think that as a society, we're taught to respect

244
00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:29,360
Speaker 1: people who do poor, so our expectations of them are low.

245
00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: And you know, look, I it's not even about respect,

246
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,040
Speaker 1: because it's like to each his own, like you do,

247
00:13:36,160 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: you boo. But I you know, it's it's not what

248
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,680
Speaker 1: you expect someone to be that well spoken, And I mean,

249
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,559
Speaker 1: I guess you have to kind of be street smart too.

250
00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:49,560
Speaker 1: But she was like educated, you know, and like her

251
00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: choices were, she was well spoken, her choices were really interesting.

252
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:59,080
Speaker 1: Like her perspective on it all was really interesting. And honestly,

253
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 1: I think the world just needs more people like her,

254
00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:02,719
Speaker 1: you know, whether or not they're doing porn or not.

255
00:14:03,000 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: Like I just think the way that she like sort

256
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:09,880
Speaker 1: of looked at her her opportunity of this life and

257
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: what she was going to take from it is what's

258
00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,440
Speaker 1: just really interesting. Yeah, I thought her name was Candice

259
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: Horrback and her porn name is Eva Lovea or LoVa.

260
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: I think, what's how you say it? When she was

261
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,080
Speaker 1: a huge porn star. She doesn't do porn anymore, but

262
00:14:24,160 --> 00:14:27,280
Speaker 1: she was huge, and I think what she said is right.

263
00:14:27,440 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: That excuse me our society. I think, you know, as

264
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,760
Speaker 1: porn is scary. I've spent many years being really scared

265
00:14:34,800 --> 00:14:40,360
Speaker 1: of porn personally, and I've come out of that, but

266
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 1: I think we don't really know where to file sexual stuff.

267
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:49,359
Speaker 1: Like America specifically seems very new at navigating those conversations.

268
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: And I do feel like we're having some growth there,

269
00:14:52,200 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: but it's scary, and then we're fed things like you know,

270
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:57,800
Speaker 1: porn is bad, this is what porned us to your brain,

271
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: or porn is great and something's wrong with you if

272
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:03,520
Speaker 1: you're scared of it. It's like this constant like what

273
00:15:03,840 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 1: is accurate and what is right? And I actually don't

274
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:08,800
Speaker 1: know the answer to those questions, like I don't know

275
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,400
Speaker 1: if it's good for relationships or hard for relationships. I

276
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: don't know. I think it's probably you know, relationship base

277
00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:21,000
Speaker 1: like relationship to relationship or person to person, which we

278
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 1: talk about a lot in the podcast. But I think

279
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,960
Speaker 1: you've touched on what the most important piece of that

280
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:30,240
Speaker 1: whole conversation was, and it was just finding like that

281
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: as humans, we are genuinely all connected and we're really

282
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:37,360
Speaker 1: not all that different. Like, I think there was so

283
00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,840
Speaker 1: much humanity that we got out of that conversation and

284
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:46,040
Speaker 1: just realizing like, she's on a journey just like we are,

285
00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: and she has so much thoughtfulness, and I think she's

286
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:54,800
Speaker 1: a seeker and you know, she has a podcast now

287
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:57,120
Speaker 1: where she's really diving deep into some of these same

288
00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: topics that we do and just look for growth and evolution.

289
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:04,040
Speaker 1: And so when you meet someone whore, you would have

290
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:06,480
Speaker 1: made up who they were if you didn't know them.

291
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:09,560
Speaker 1: It was just a really interesting experience to be like, oh,

292
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,160
Speaker 1: you're actually just like me. Your story has just involved

293
00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:16,520
Speaker 1: a journey in porn and mine hasn't, but that doesn't

294
00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:22,040
Speaker 1: make mine any better. There's things that yeah, like we've

295
00:16:22,120 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 1: all done, but we just had some idea of what

296
00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: a person who does porn should look like or be like,

297
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:29,800
Speaker 1: and she was not anything like what I would have

298
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:35,320
Speaker 1: expected either, So it was awesome. I really enjoyed that conversation. Yeah. Yeah,

299
00:16:37,200 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: we also talked a lot about We talked about music

300
00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 1: in Madonna, and we had a great random conversation. But

301
00:16:46,040 --> 00:16:48,600
Speaker 1: the ages and piece, that was a big thing to

302
00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: really look at. And I think as people who, well

303
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:55,160
Speaker 1: everyone's aging, but like we're hitting like our midlife hopefully,

304
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,600
Speaker 1: I mean, and so I think these conversations really really

305
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:01,920
Speaker 1: hit ahead in some new ways. Have you had any

306
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:06,840
Speaker 1: afterthoughts about the Madonna situation that's going on. I mean,

307
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,760
Speaker 1: I haven't seen a whole lot more, but like, what

308
00:17:11,400 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: keeps ringing in my mind is that, like I just

309
00:17:15,720 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: hate the Madonna feels like she needs to stay young forever. Yeah,

310
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:25,919
Speaker 1: I get it. It's you know, it's not unique to her.

311
00:17:26,200 --> 00:17:29,520
Speaker 1: You know, it's a product of the entertainment business. But

312
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:33,639
Speaker 1: you know, I guess I have put Madonna in this

313
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:37,479
Speaker 1: like superhuman category where those kinds of things wouldn't affect her,

314
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,000
Speaker 1: and it, I mean, in a way, it just shows

315
00:17:41,040 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: that she's human and she has these feelings and the

316
00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 1: same desires that like, you know, most people have, and

317
00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: but you know it's what should like physical appearance and

318
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,720
Speaker 1: agism and all that stuff aside. It's just to me,

319
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,480
Speaker 1: like I thought Madonna was stronger than that, you know,

320
00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:05,600
Speaker 1: like or tougher than that. Like. And I don't even

321
00:18:05,640 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 1: mean that to be insulting, Like I just thought she

322
00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,440
Speaker 1: would be like, fuck you, you don't. Yeah, I'm gonna

323
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 1: do what I want. And maybe that's exactly what she's doing.

324
00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: And you know, maybe all of our ideas of what

325
00:18:18,119 --> 00:18:21,400
Speaker 1: is beautiful differs, you know, like maybe this she thinks

326
00:18:21,440 --> 00:18:24,600
Speaker 1: she looks better than she's ever looked. Who knows. I mean,

327
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,040
Speaker 1: it's her choice. Yeah, she posted something. I guess this

328
00:18:28,240 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: is like two days ago now, but it was a

329
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 1: new picture of her and she said, look how cute

330
00:18:32,800 --> 00:18:34,960
Speaker 1: I am now that the swelling for my surgery has

331
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:38,080
Speaker 1: gone down. Lol, And it's a picture of her. I mean,

332
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,919
Speaker 1: she actually looks great in this picture. She looks different

333
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: than Madonna ever, did you know, the old Madonna? We know,

334
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,680
Speaker 1: but as you would as you get older. So I

335
00:18:48,760 --> 00:18:54,000
Speaker 1: don't know, it's it's tough, It's yeah, I don't really

336
00:18:54,080 --> 00:18:56,359
Speaker 1: know what to think about all of that. But again,

337
00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: I think it's like what we touched on in the podcast.

338
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 1: It just like embracing yourself. And I hope that she

339
00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:06,720
Speaker 1: feels like she's in a good place. And I hate

340
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,800
Speaker 1: that people are so mean on the internet. Yeah, that

341
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: is the main thing. And I think it's like what

342
00:19:11,840 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: you just said too about someone you thought she was stronger,

343
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: and it's like back to that humanity piece. I just

344
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,560
Speaker 1: think we're seeing like the veil is being lifted. There

345
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 1: is no like, there is no person out there that

346
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,560
Speaker 1: doesn't have feelings, that doesn't get hurt, that doesn't struggle

347
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:31,080
Speaker 1: with the same shit. Doesn't matter how rich you are

348
00:19:31,200 --> 00:19:34,280
Speaker 1: or how famous, like it's all the same and it's

349
00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:38,880
Speaker 1: all relative. Like I just don't think we can say

350
00:19:38,960 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: that anymore, Like we're reaching this different place in our

351
00:19:41,480 --> 00:19:45,240
Speaker 1: culture and so and that's good. I think that's really good.

352
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,119
Speaker 1: And of course it's nice to have money, and of

353
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: course it's nice to have success, but like that doesn't

354
00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:58,160
Speaker 1: fix your human problems. It just does and this always

355
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:00,960
Speaker 1: makes them worse, depends d I mean, right, there's some

356
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: things that are easier because you have money, and then

357
00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,159
Speaker 1: there's some things that are harder, right like having you know,

358
00:20:06,240 --> 00:20:07,800
Speaker 1: being able to trust that people just want to be

359
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 1: your friend for being your friend, Like that's hard, you know,

360
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: Like I mean, I feel like I remember when I

361
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:16,440
Speaker 1: was on the show and I would meet new people,

362
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 1: there was a weird feeling of like do you like me?

363
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: Or is this like you're interested in that? And that

364
00:20:24,119 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: was the first time in my life I feel like

365
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: I felt that and I did not like it, Like

366
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: I much preferred this place of just knowing who my

367
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,720
Speaker 1: genuine friends are, Like it's so much more peaceful. But

368
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,000
Speaker 1: you don't think about that until you're in the situation.

369
00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: Then you're like, oh, this feels like shit. Actually. The

370
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:45,400
Speaker 1: other big one to me was psychedelics. Would you ever

371
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:50,359
Speaker 1: do a psychedelic trip? Absolutely? And it's so funny because

372
00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 1: I was listening to me daily the podcast in the

373
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:57,680
Speaker 1: New York Times the Daily, and I don't know if

374
00:20:57,680 --> 00:20:59,560
Speaker 1: it was the one from today or not, but I

375
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,960
Speaker 1: was listen into it this morning because I've had some

376
00:21:03,080 --> 00:21:07,719
Speaker 1: catching up to do. And it was about the journey

377
00:21:07,880 --> 00:21:15,040
Speaker 1: of like psychedelics becoming legalized from medicinal purposes and the

378
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: effect that it coming from being pushed by the veteran

379
00:21:22,760 --> 00:21:27,760
Speaker 1: perspective like PTSD. Yeah, it was actually today's episode, it's

380
00:21:27,760 --> 00:21:33,399
Speaker 1: called the Veterans Fighting to Legalize Psychedelics. And I forget

381
00:21:33,400 --> 00:21:36,480
Speaker 1: the name of the woman that they had interviewed, but

382
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: she had enlisted and right before nine eleven, and then

383
00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: she worked in a lot of hospitals and then she

384
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: got shipped off to Afghanistan like years later and suffered

385
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:55,600
Speaker 1: from a lot of PTSD and she took a hero's

386
00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,040
Speaker 1: dos like the same exact thing, like the way she

387
00:21:59,119 --> 00:22:01,800
Speaker 1: described it, like this is what Kelly did. And um

388
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: she's like basically like I was able to grieve all

389
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:10,760
Speaker 1: of that pain and cry it all out and it

390
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:13,320
Speaker 1: had been blocked like I was like not allowing myself

391
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,440
Speaker 1: to like grieve any of it, and um, she's like

392
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,520
Speaker 1: it saved my life, and um, so it was. It's

393
00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,399
Speaker 1: a really interesting episode. You should go listen to it

394
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: because it is about you know, obviously in America, we

395
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:28,240
Speaker 1: like regard our military, and when our military is saying

396
00:22:28,359 --> 00:22:31,720
Speaker 1: something is helping them, there is no reason why our

397
00:22:31,800 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: Congress should not be listening to them. Um. You know,

398
00:22:36,119 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: it's it's funny because you know the stuff psychedelics came about,

399
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 1: and like the sixties, I think fifties or sixties and

400
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,560
Speaker 1: it was I mean, look, obviously the mushrooms have always

401
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,960
Speaker 1: been there, but LSD became very popular then and U

402
00:22:50,359 --> 00:22:53,400
Speaker 1: and it was I believe it was Nixon that had them.

403
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 1: M I think it was Nixon that had had been

404
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: classified as a drug and when that happened, and when

405
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,920
Speaker 1: that happened, there was nothing written to the law that

406
00:23:05,080 --> 00:23:09,720
Speaker 1: like left it open for medicinal research, so it all stopped. Well,

407
00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: the funny thing we talked about this in the podcast

408
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:15,119
Speaker 1: and all the research that I've done about this, and like,

409
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,200
Speaker 1: there's a really great show, How to Change Your Mind.

410
00:23:18,320 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: It's on Netflix. It's a series and it's about all

411
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:24,160
Speaker 1: the different psychedelics and it talks about this a lot

412
00:23:24,280 --> 00:23:30,840
Speaker 1: because it's like, why did this become so government governmentally regulated?

413
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,480
Speaker 1: Is that the way to say that regulated whatever? You

414
00:23:35,520 --> 00:23:38,240
Speaker 1: guys know what I mean, regulated by the government. Let's

415
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: just go back. Why did it become so regulated? And

416
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: there's no reason other than they can't make money. And

417
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: that is so fucking disturbing to me. It makes me

418
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:53,920
Speaker 1: so upset because when they put you on antidepressants, that's

419
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:57,560
Speaker 1: like forever probably or all of these things, and so

420
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,159
Speaker 1: there's this consistent income stream or or even therapy, and

421
00:24:01,359 --> 00:24:04,479
Speaker 1: this is coming in saying like, no, this is actually

422
00:24:04,520 --> 00:24:08,680
Speaker 1: a solution that you do once twice, maybe three times,

423
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,840
Speaker 1: and it actually cures a lot of the things. It

424
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: helps you get the grief out, it helps you heal

425
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:18,040
Speaker 1: the anxiety and the PTSD, and they don't actually want

426
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,040
Speaker 1: anything that's going to actually heal, so it's not for

427
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:25,120
Speaker 1: our benefit. And it's just really frustrating because the other

428
00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: big thing I'm having an issue with is like that

429
00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 1: stuff being illegal but alcohol is not. And it's just

430
00:24:33,840 --> 00:24:37,560
Speaker 1: like so wild to me that how are we picking

431
00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,680
Speaker 1: these drugs other than for financial gain because alcohol is

432
00:24:41,720 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: like a drug and it is literal poison. And I

433
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: still drink sometimes, but like that time off really gave

434
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:52,320
Speaker 1: me a lot of insight into holy shit, what are

435
00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 1: we doing? Like it was just like this eye opening experience,

436
00:24:56,800 --> 00:25:00,200
Speaker 1: and I don't know, I'm just getting really upset, Like

437
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:02,160
Speaker 1: for me, this is the first time I think I've

438
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: come to terms. I've felt this way with food about

439
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,720
Speaker 1: food for a long time because it's just like they're

440
00:25:07,800 --> 00:25:11,160
Speaker 1: pumping so much shit into our food for mass production

441
00:25:11,280 --> 00:25:13,560
Speaker 1: and it's so bad for us and making us sick.

442
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,760
Speaker 1: But I'm just realizing it's on such a bigger scale

443
00:25:16,800 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: and I was so ignorant to it before and when

444
00:25:20,280 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: I saw that, like how much it helped me after

445
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:26,119
Speaker 1: one time, and like I don't feel this need to

446
00:25:26,200 --> 00:25:29,560
Speaker 1: ever do it again. I may, but like it helped

447
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,080
Speaker 1: me see the world in a whole different way and

448
00:25:32,600 --> 00:25:35,760
Speaker 1: see myself and have like a different relationship with myself.

449
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:40,159
Speaker 1: But for that to be illegal, even like after think

450
00:25:40,200 --> 00:25:42,000
Speaker 1: about all the therapy I've done and all this stuff,

451
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:43,840
Speaker 1: and I wouldn't take any of that back, but like

452
00:25:44,240 --> 00:25:48,440
Speaker 1: it's just interesting to think about what is regulated and why,

453
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,240
Speaker 1: and that's really scary to me. Well, and what's interesting

454
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,840
Speaker 1: too is it's classified as a drug and a drug

455
00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,200
Speaker 1: it's not what you well, hey, it's a plant. It

456
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: like literally just grows, but it's so is marijuana. But

457
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,640
Speaker 1: what you described just described them saying like I did

458
00:26:10,720 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: this one time, I might not ever do it again. Yeah,

459
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:16,960
Speaker 1: that to me is not what someone that does drugs says.

460
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 1: Drugs are addictive, Drugs are like an ongoing problem. Pills

461
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: that you have to take every day are drugs. No.

462
00:26:25,800 --> 00:26:28,760
Speaker 1: In fact, after I did my psilocybin chip is when

463
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: I decided to stop drinking, like I didn't have a

464
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:34,080
Speaker 1: taste for alcohol anymore. It was like I had a

465
00:26:34,119 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: hard time with coffee too, which is also a drug

466
00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:40,040
Speaker 1: and one that I still have not really gotten. I

467
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 1: don't want to lay it down, but caffeine. Yeah, it's

468
00:26:43,240 --> 00:26:46,600
Speaker 1: like these things that we just are for some reason,

469
00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: those are normalized in our society. I keep hearing to

470
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: you like smoking is coming back, and I'm like, what

471
00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,119
Speaker 1: what so Yeah, like as a trend, I don't know,

472
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,520
Speaker 1: and I'm just confused, I think more than anything, and

473
00:26:59,560 --> 00:27:02,240
Speaker 1: I'm I can't just like sit here and not say

474
00:27:02,440 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: this is confusing and scary, like yeah, like I'm not

475
00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: wanting to be like a conspiracy theorist or anything like that.

476
00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:13,120
Speaker 1: I just think it's we have to know our own

477
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: bodies and you have to trust your own intuition too.

478
00:27:16,520 --> 00:27:18,760
Speaker 1: And I'm so glad that I did that with this

479
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,680
Speaker 1: because it was the most probably one of the most

480
00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:24,800
Speaker 1: life changing experiences I've ever had. And like you said,

481
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:28,359
Speaker 1: it was one time and I'll never forget it, Like

482
00:27:28,960 --> 00:27:32,560
Speaker 1: I can't. It's a part of my wiring now, you know. Yeah. Yeah,

483
00:27:33,160 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna need to get back Guy's number. Yeah, it's

484
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:45,959
Speaker 1: a girl. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway, Um, there's a couple other

485
00:27:46,040 --> 00:27:49,200
Speaker 1: podcasts up this month, and I really hope that you

486
00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: guys were as curious as we were about some of

487
00:27:52,280 --> 00:27:54,680
Speaker 1: these topics. Again, let's take what you like, leave the

488
00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:57,399
Speaker 1: rest always here on this podcast. But I just I

489
00:27:57,440 --> 00:27:59,200
Speaker 1: don't know, that's the way my brain works, where I

490
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:01,600
Speaker 1: just want to talk to people who That's what's like

491
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,480
Speaker 1: fun about this podcast is when else that I've gotten

492
00:28:04,480 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: the opportunity to talk to a former porn star. I

493
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: have no idea. I mean you may have without knowing it,

494
00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,399
Speaker 1: but to I mean, we got some insight on how

495
00:28:14,480 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: the porn industry works too. That was fascinating. Yeah. Yeah,

496
00:28:18,280 --> 00:28:21,360
Speaker 1: I would have never like even thought to be curious

497
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:24,280
Speaker 1: about the ins and outs of how they filmed stuff

498
00:28:24,359 --> 00:28:26,000
Speaker 1: or what the ins and outs. That was probably a

499
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:32,520
Speaker 1: wrong choice work, but they don't anyway, Um, Chip, do

500
00:28:32,520 --> 00:28:34,600
Speaker 1: you have any other insights you want to leave the

501
00:28:34,640 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: people with? How did your mind expand the most this month?

502
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: Do you think was it the porn conversation? I mean yeah,

503
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: I mean I don't know if I realized that in

504
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 1: the moment, but it's like, I mean that was eye opening.

505
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:50,480
Speaker 1: It shit, like, yeah, you can't judge a book by

506
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: its cover. I mean, I know that's as cliche as

507
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: it gets, but it's true. And I think, um, you know,

508
00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: we're all guilty of it. And whether it's looking at

509
00:29:00,600 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: someone who's from a different country or a different ethnicity

510
00:29:03,200 --> 00:29:08,240
Speaker 1: or whatever, it is, like just because you have an

511
00:29:08,360 --> 00:29:12,720
Speaker 1: idea about somebody or where they come from, what they do,

512
00:29:13,720 --> 00:29:17,120
Speaker 1: who they're related to, like, it doesn't make it the truth.

513
00:29:17,520 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: And I think it's really important to give people the

514
00:29:20,840 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: benefit of the doubt and have conversations with them because

515
00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:27,360
Speaker 1: you might just be surprised. Also, like when you were

516
00:29:27,400 --> 00:29:30,400
Speaker 1: just saying that, I was thinking, because we asked Candice,

517
00:29:30,480 --> 00:29:33,160
Speaker 1: I said something about, you know, you always hear of

518
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:35,959
Speaker 1: women in porn like they have some abuse in their past,

519
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:38,360
Speaker 1: or you wonder about what's there, you know, is it

520
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:40,920
Speaker 1: daddy issues they're working through or whatever. And she said

521
00:29:41,480 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: the thing was for her that some of that was

522
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:46,200
Speaker 1: true and so she couldn't argue that, but she said,

523
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,360
Speaker 1: it's definitely not always true. But what I just thought

524
00:29:49,360 --> 00:29:53,080
Speaker 1: about when you were saying that was like, it is,

525
00:29:53,480 --> 00:29:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, never judge a book by its cover because also,

526
00:29:56,320 --> 00:29:59,600
Speaker 1: like we don't know what that journey brought someone to

527
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,080
Speaker 1: like it sounds like her journey and porn was something

528
00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: she needed to do to get to this deeper level

529
00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: of understanding of herself and healing within herself, like taking

530
00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,600
Speaker 1: her power back, and that was the way that she

531
00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,240
Speaker 1: did it. But that doesn't mean that, like she's not

532
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:17,000
Speaker 1: capable of anything else, you know, which I think is

533
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:21,760
Speaker 1: something we do as a society. Like I felt that like, oh,

534
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,480
Speaker 1: people on reality TV, Oh, they're just chasing fame or

535
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:27,320
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. You don't know, you don't like shit,

536
00:30:28,080 --> 00:30:31,600
Speaker 1: Like definitely, people don't know at all what my motivations

537
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: were and they think they do and it's just weird

538
00:30:34,120 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: or porn or you could say that for anything. Really,

539
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,480
Speaker 1: like why people post on social media, We just don't know.

540
00:30:39,800 --> 00:30:42,600
Speaker 1: And I think it's just going back to like allowing

541
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:46,600
Speaker 1: people to space to be human and be on these journeys.

542
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, well, I mean I often think, like

543
00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,320
Speaker 1: often the things that I will point out about other

544
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 1: people or things that I don't like about myself, it's

545
00:30:56,680 --> 00:31:00,960
Speaker 1: always that yeah, it's oh I got it, yeah, and

546
00:31:01,400 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 1: it's for me. It's a nice reminder um to love

547
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: yourself more and then I think you'll see the good

548
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: and more people. You know, you'll you'll spend so much

549
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,240
Speaker 1: less time judging others. Yeah, I think that's true. Yeah,

550
00:31:17,360 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 1: that's really true. Well, I hope you guys enjoyed the
