So 224 00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:22,480 Speaker 13: we're looking for expansion. We're looking for growth, we're looking 225 00:10:22,480 --> 00:10:27,320 Speaker 13: for abundance. We're looking to wake up and feel happier 226 00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:31,079 Speaker 13: and more whole. And with all of that, the energy 227 00:10:31,120 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 13: this year in the numerology is going to bring up 228 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,480 Speaker 13: gunk that tells us we're not enough. We don't have 229 00:10:36,559 --> 00:10:39,319 Speaker 13: what we need, we can't do it, we don't have 230 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 13: the resources. We're exhausted. The energy of twenty twenty four 231 00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:48,640 Speaker 13: is an eight year. Two plus zero plus two plus 232 00:10:48,679 --> 00:10:51,800 Speaker 13: four equals eight. If you turn the eight on its side, 233 00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:55,440 Speaker 13: it's the infinity symbol. The infinity symbol. If you think 234 00:10:55,440 --> 00:10:59,679 Speaker 13: about the numbers in numerology, each single digit number has 235 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 13: an energy or a vibration. The zero and the eight, 236 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:06,160 Speaker 13: if you look at the single digit numbers, are the 237 00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:09,520 Speaker 13: only two numbers that have no beginning or no end. 238 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:13,600 Speaker 13: So the eight energy is in constant flux. It's like 239 00:11:13,720 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 13: centripical motion. The biggest key in the energy of the 240 00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:20,360 Speaker 13: eight is it's this energy of empowerment. So we always 241 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 13: experience the converse of anything this year through the eight. 242 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:29,640 Speaker 13: So if empowerment, clarity, joy is what you're seeking, you 243 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 13: will automatically feel disempowered, unclear, lacking joy, spunk, or motivation. 244 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 13: And whenever you see those pitfalls, that's an opportunity to heal, 245 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 13: to recognize, to get present, and then to invite in growth. 246 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,240 Speaker 13: The energy of the eight is all about harnessing your 247 00:11:50,240 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 13: point of attraction. Your point of attraction is that energy 248 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:55,560 Speaker 13: within the part of you that's connected to the divine 249 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 13: that is always attempting to attract in and what you desire, 250 00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,480 Speaker 13: what you want. And there can be this ego version 251 00:12:04,520 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 13: of you that is in fear and sending out signals 252 00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 13: of lack or not enough or scarcity. Or you can 253 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,000 Speaker 13: take those ego based fears and you can say, wait 254 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:16,320 Speaker 13: a minute, how can I shift this? How can I 255 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:18,720 Speaker 13: heal this? Where do I ask for help? How do 256 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:21,320 Speaker 13: I call in God and my higher power? Where do 257 00:12:21,400 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 13: I call in my angels and guides? I'm not alone. 258 00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,840 Speaker 13: I've got this and I wouldn't have a dream in 259 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:30,439 Speaker 13: my heart or looking for deeper meaning or purpose if 260 00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:33,760 Speaker 13: it wasn't out there for me to receive. This year 261 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 13: is about sending and receiving, and the probably the biggest 262 00:12:37,720 --> 00:12:42,080 Speaker 13: cornerstone of this year is whatever you focus on grows. 263 00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 13: The eight is the master manifestor. So if you are 264 00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:51,600 Speaker 13: exhausted or in chaos, or completely in self pity or 265 00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 13: self doubt, we're human. We all experience this stuff, and 266 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,760 Speaker 13: sometimes it lasts longer than others, but if you stay 267 00:12:57,880 --> 00:13:01,240 Speaker 13: in it long enough, it will man mafest externally. The 268 00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,160 Speaker 13: same thing with happiness, abundance, love, joy. When you have 269 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 13: experiences that cultivate abundance or cultivate joy or excitement or creativity, 270 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 13: right place, right time, energy. When you notice that and 271 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:16,800 Speaker 13: you're in it and you enjoy it and you recognize 272 00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,840 Speaker 13: it and you think God and your guides for that, 273 00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:24,520 Speaker 13: it creates this stronger, more vibrant, high high energy point 274 00:13:24,559 --> 00:13:28,560 Speaker 13: of attraction that will bring and call in more things 275 00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 13: that are aligned with you easily and abundantly. 276 00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:32,640 Speaker 8: Right. 277 00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 12: I feel like people are going to have more questions 278 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:36,800 Speaker 12: about the Numerology guide Book, so can you give us 279 00:13:36,800 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 12: more details. 280 00:13:37,800 --> 00:13:41,480 Speaker 13: It's very simple, it's very straightforward, and it's super empowered. 281 00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:45,079 Speaker 13: There are mantras, there, crystal recommendations. It gives you the 282 00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 13: numerology code and the energy month over month because we 283 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:51,480 Speaker 13: have different numerology. We've got this overarching energy of the eight, 284 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 13: but each month has a different numerological component. And when 285 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 13: you work with the code in conjunction with the eight, 286 00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,199 Speaker 13: I break it down for you very simply and what 287 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:05,200 Speaker 13: it resonates with. There are journal prompts. There's also strategies 288 00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,720 Speaker 13: and then blind spots. I love the blind spots because 289 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:09,760 Speaker 13: it's like, look out for this, you know, look out 290 00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 13: for self doubt or look out for self pity or 291 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,439 Speaker 13: you know, wearing your heart on your sleeve. And the 292 00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:17,920 Speaker 13: journal prompts help because they just get you into it. 293 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:23,400 Speaker 13: The mantras, the crystal recommendations. It's really easy to follow, 294 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,160 Speaker 13: but it's also really relevant even if you buy the 295 00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 13: guide in May, because this is the way I work 296 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,720 Speaker 13: with it. I will go back retrospectively, and I'll go 297 00:14:32,840 --> 00:14:35,760 Speaker 13: back to January, I'll go back to February. I'll retrace 298 00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:38,160 Speaker 13: my steps, and then I'll also go forward. I'll go 299 00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:41,720 Speaker 13: into November or December, and that way it's like I 300 00:14:41,760 --> 00:14:44,480 Speaker 13: have the whole picture and then I harness everything in 301 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:47,640 Speaker 13: my now. So the guidebook gives you overarching energy of 302 00:14:47,680 --> 00:14:51,320 Speaker 13: the eight all the tools, tips, ends outs, highs, lows, vibes, 303 00:14:51,360 --> 00:14:54,720 Speaker 13: how to work with numbers and their energy. And also 304 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:59,480 Speaker 13: it goes month over month very simply, very strategically and systematically, 305 00:14:59,520 --> 00:15:03,880 Speaker 13: and also in this really cool energetic vibe that gets 306 00:15:03,920 --> 00:15:07,000 Speaker 13: you thinking more broadly. And then you'll start seeing number 307 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,440 Speaker 13: codes everywhere.

First movie came out back in 475 00:23:15,560 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 17: two thousand and eight. Jon Favreau, who directed the movie, 476 00:23:19,920 --> 00:23:22,560 Speaker 17: saw Robert Downey Junior and Kiss Kiss, Bank Bang and 477 00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,920 Speaker 17: thought his wit, his charm, his depth would be perfect 478 00:23:26,920 --> 00:23:30,000 Speaker 17: for Tony Stark. And this is back when Marvel was 479 00:23:30,040 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 17: not what we know it to be now. And this 480 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 17: was so essential going down the line because at the 481 00:23:37,480 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 17: forefront of the MCU, and really the heart of the 482 00:23:42,359 --> 00:23:46,880 Speaker 17: entire Infinity saga was Robert Downey Junior as iron Man. 483 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:51,679 Speaker 17: He threw the entire MCU on his back and carried it. 484 00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 17: If you put iron Man in any of the Marvel movies, 485 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,560 Speaker 17: it would instantly make it a better movie. He proved it, 486 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:02,320 Speaker 17: and not only that, he got paid and they realized 487 00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 17: that because. 488 00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,160 Speaker 3: He made millions and millions of. 489 00:24:06,119 --> 00:24:11,199 Speaker 17: Dollars as Tony Stark and Ironman, so much so that 490 00:24:11,280 --> 00:24:14,320 Speaker 17: if the MCU ever gets desperate again and they need 491 00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,680 Speaker 17: that money, they're gonna bring him back sooner than we 492 00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:21,119 Speaker 17: want because he is so good at it. And I 493 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,679 Speaker 17: think iron Man is one of the most iconic and 494 00:24:24,760 --> 00:24:28,919 Speaker 17: important characters in modern cinema and has made billions of 495 00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 17: dollars at the box office. And it was also a 496 00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,120 Speaker 17: bit of a risk to cast Robert Downey Jr. Who 497 00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 17: had had issues in the past and had gone through 498 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,959 Speaker 17: stuff and was seen as kind of a risky choice 499 00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 17: to base your entire movie studio on this is gonna 500 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:49,600 Speaker 17: be the guy at the forefront of everything. But it 501 00:24:49,720 --> 00:24:53,359 Speaker 17: worked out perfectly. So at the top of my list, 502 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:55,879 Speaker 17: I'm not going to rank these all in order, but 503 00:24:55,960 --> 00:25:00,000 Speaker 17: that is such a big important part of the history 504 00:25:00,200 --> 00:25:04,400 Speaker 17: of Marvel for over a decade and has left such 505 00:25:04,440 --> 00:25:08,000 Speaker 17: an impression that without that, Marvel would have been much 506 00:25:08,080 --> 00:25:11,200 Speaker 17: like it had been before, going bankrupt and not being 507 00:25:11,240 --> 00:25:14,960 Speaker 17: able to catch the check. So Robert Downey Junior as 508 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,520 Speaker 17: Ironman one of the best of all time. Along those 509 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,120 Speaker 17: same lines, before there was Ironman, there was Wolverine. 510 00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,080 Speaker 7: Hugh Jackman is Wolverine. 511 00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:26,600 Speaker 17: Is incredible and I'm going to get into the Deadpool 512 00:25:26,600 --> 00:25:30,359 Speaker 17: Wolverine trailer later. And the crazy thing about this is 513 00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:32,960 Speaker 17: Hugh Jackman actually wasn't the first pick for the role. 514 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 7: Dugray Scott was. 515 00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 17: Initially cast as Wolverine, but he had to drop out 516 00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,480 Speaker 17: because he had scheduling conflicts. And then the director saw 517 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,919 Speaker 17: Hugh Jackman's performance in the stage production of Oklahoma and 518 00:25:46,240 --> 00:25:50,040 Speaker 17: saw how charismatic Hugh Jackman was and also just how 519 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:53,720 Speaker 17: strong he was physically. And that is the other bizarre 520 00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 17: thing about Hugh Jackman is we know him as Wolverine, 521 00:25:57,200 --> 00:26:00,440 Speaker 17: we know him as being able to do action movie, 522 00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 17: but the dude can sing and is so classically trained 523 00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:08,879 Speaker 17: in musicals. I could see nobody else as Wolverine, and 524 00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 17: I feel like he is an actor that just immerses 525 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,880 Speaker 17: himself in a role. When it comes down to the 526 00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:18,399 Speaker 17: hair and the wardrobe and the physical attributes to me, 527 00:26:18,560 --> 00:26:22,000 Speaker 17: he is Wolverine, even though in the comic books Wolverine 528 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,879 Speaker 17: is a much shorter character. Is this really hard headed, 529 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 17: compact dude. But once he put Hugh Jackman on the 530 00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 17: big screen, it is undeniable. We'll get out of the 531 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 17: superhero world for a minute. And also on my list, 532 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,280 Speaker 17: I have Chris Tucker as Smoky in Friday, which came 533 00:26:39,320 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 17: out back in nineteen ninety seven. The way Chris Tucker 534 00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,480 Speaker 17: got this role is the director Gary Gray saw Chris 535 00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,240 Speaker 17: Tucker doing stand up and thought, man, I could use 536 00:26:49,280 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 17: that guy in my movie because he's very energetic. He's 537 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,400 Speaker 17: so charismatic. I just love listening to Chris Tucker talk 538 00:26:56,520 --> 00:26:59,560 Speaker 17: with all the inflection and emotion in his voice that 539 00:26:59,640 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 17: it just makes me laugh. And the reason I feel 540 00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:03,919 Speaker 17: like this is one of the best movie castings of 541 00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 17: all time is because whenever a sequel gets brought up, 542 00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,000 Speaker 17: everybody wants to know if he's going to come back 543 00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:15,840 Speaker 17: as Smoky. That is the sign of an iconic character 544 00:27:15,960 --> 00:27:19,320 Speaker 17: and an amazing performance. Because they've made a lot of 545 00:27:19,359 --> 00:27:23,080 Speaker 17: sequels to Friday, but Chris Tucker has not returned. And 546 00:27:23,119 --> 00:27:25,720 Speaker 17: when they made that movie, the actors didn't make a 547 00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 17: whole lot of money. It was essentially an indie movie 548 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,400 Speaker 17: that ended up being such a hit that you think 549 00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 17: it's crazy that he probably only got paid maybe a 550 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 17: few thousand dollars to be Smoky and They also filmed 551 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 17: that movie so fast that for these actors' lives, it 552 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 17: was just a little slice of their year, a little 553 00:27:43,840 --> 00:27:48,600 Speaker 17: slice of time that has lasted their entire career. But 554 00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 17: Chris Tucker is fantastic as Smoky. I've watched that movie 555 00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 17: countless times and he still makes me laugh. One of 556 00:27:56,119 --> 00:27:59,040 Speaker 17: the best movie castings of all time. We'll get out 557 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,959 Speaker 17: of the nineties, move all to the two thousands into 558 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,720 Speaker 17: a holiday movie. Will Ferrell has Buddy the Elf in 559 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:09,240 Speaker 17: Elf in two thousand and three, and the thing about 560 00:28:09,280 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 17: this casting that is impressive is that Will Ferrell was 561 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,280 Speaker 17: not at the status that he is now back in 562 00:28:15,320 --> 00:28:17,119 Speaker 17: two thousand and three when he was cast and this 563 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:21,119 Speaker 17: movie came out. Jon Favreau, who directed this movie, another 564 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,480 Speaker 17: name we've heard on this list before as a director. 565 00:28:23,720 --> 00:28:25,560 Speaker 17: He was really just a big fan of Will Ferrell 566 00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:29,080 Speaker 17: from his Saturday Night live performances. So to cast him 567 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:32,960 Speaker 17: in this movie, much like we've seen historically through this list, 568 00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,560 Speaker 17: was also a bit of a risk because he wasn't 569 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:40,120 Speaker 17: a household name. The studio wanted somebody more recognizable. But 570 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,920 Speaker 17: Jon Favreau, being the amazing director he is, saw the 571 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,200 Speaker 17: vision that Will Ferrell is Buddy the elf. He has 572 00:28:47,240 --> 00:28:50,360 Speaker 17: the comedic timing, he has the look, he has what 573 00:28:50,440 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 17: we need to make this movie work. And he was 574 00:28:52,680 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 17: completely correct. So a great move on Jon Favreau's part. 575 00:28:57,360 --> 00:29:00,440 Speaker 17: But also the reason I consider it to be one 576 00:29:00,440 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 17: of the best movie castings of all time is because 577 00:29:02,960 --> 00:29:08,000 Speaker 17: it catapulted Will Ferrell's comedic career in movies. So we 578 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,640 Speaker 17: went from having supporting roles in movies like Old School 579 00:29:11,920 --> 00:29:16,200 Speaker 17: to having a slew of starring roles in comedies through 580 00:29:16,240 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 17: the two thousands and into the early twenty tens. And 581 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 17: this was the movie role that made him undeniable in Hollywood. 582 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:49,960 Speaker 6: Carol, she's a queen of talking a song. 583 00:29:50,200 --> 00:29:54,360 Speaker 3: You know, she's getting really not afraid to face its episode, 584 00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,280 Speaker 3: so just. 585 00:29:55,320 --> 00:29:55,960 Speaker 11: Let it flow. 586 00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:59,360 Speaker 3: No one can do it quite car. 587 00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:01,360 Speaker 1: It is. 588 00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:05,200 Speaker 10: I got a thousand horses. 589 00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 7: That's it, all of us. 590 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:06,959 Speaker 6: You know. 591 00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 18: I got y'all on the podcast when I first started 592 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,480 Speaker 18: the podcast. Oh yeah, we're twenty sixteen, and y'all were 593 00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,840 Speaker 18: like my second guest actually, and. 594 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 7: That was it. That was the turning, defining moment, the moment. 595 00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 10: That was when it took printing money. 596 00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 18: And I've just been begging y'all to come back, and 597 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:28,480 Speaker 18: you're like, no, no, no, we can't or it is. 598 00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:32,320 Speaker 7: We can't have too much of a great thing. Yeah, 599 00:30:32,360 --> 00:30:32,880 Speaker 7: but this. 600 00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 10: Is just great, guys. I'm glad you have y'all back. 601 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 10: A lot's gone down in the past. How many years? 602 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:39,440 Speaker 18: Okay, so we talked, we got together on the podcast 603 00:30:39,480 --> 00:30:41,320 Speaker 18: twenty sixteen hour eight years. 604 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 7: It was two years ago. Eight years. 605 00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:49,320 Speaker 19: Yeah, musicians, not really twenty sixteen. It does feel like 606 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,680 Speaker 19: every I'm always like, oh yeah, that was like two 607 00:30:51,800 --> 00:30:52,280 Speaker 19: years ago. 608 00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:55,760 Speaker 10: So let's like twenty sixteen. 609 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 18: That's when like a thousand horses broke onto the scene. 610 00:30:59,160 --> 00:31:01,080 Speaker 10: Y'all were like on a firework, right. 611 00:31:01,320 --> 00:31:05,000 Speaker 7: We were yeah, yeah, rock rocket, rockets, firework. 612 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:06,680 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, fireworks. 613 00:31:06,760 --> 00:31:08,800 Speaker 7: There was in retrospect.
