<v Speaker 2>Where did you read about them?

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:28.640
<v Speaker 3>I just have one like one fat report that just

0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:32.560
<v Speaker 3>goes over the whole situation I was in when I

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 3>was a kid. So I just read about like I

0:03:34.560 --> 0:03:36.640
<v Speaker 3>just know their names and like what was going on,

0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:42.119
<v Speaker 3>and like that's about it. But it's just not too much.

0:03:42.160 --> 0:03:42.840
<v Speaker 3>It's so vague.

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Who well, wait when you say you have this report?

0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.040

<v Speaker 3>me being adopted, like the whole my whole background and

0:04:07.520 --> 0:04:10.240
<v Speaker 3>stuff because they like to give that to parents, so

0:04:10.520 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 3>like they can see if their kid has too much baggage.

0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.120
<v Speaker 2>Oh okay, all right, so when you were, as you say,

0:04:15.160 --> 0:04:20.160

0:06:30.160 --> 0:06:32.920
<v Speaker 3>up in a room and it's like a room that's

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:36.080
<v Speaker 3>like painted like like an ocean. Like it's like I'm

0:06:36.080 --> 0:06:38.840
<v Speaker 3>looking at a horizon at like one of those doctor's offices,

0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.359
<v Speaker 3>and that's the only thing in the room. That's the

0:06:42.400 --> 0:06:44.039
<v Speaker 3>only thing in the room. And then there's a little

0:06:44.080 --> 0:06:46.520
<v Speaker 3>screaming no, and he just walks around me in like

0:06:46.600 --> 0:06:50.800
<v Speaker 3>circles and I can't move, but I'm like conscious, and

0:06:50.880 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 3>I'll sit there and I'll think for like hours and

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:56.120
<v Speaker 3>I'll turn into like days, and then I'll feel hungry

0:06:56.160 --> 0:06:59.719

0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:01.719
<v Speaker 3>like I only took like an hour nap and for

0:07:01.880 --> 0:07:03.320
<v Speaker 3>like two weeks.

0:07:03.839 --> 0:07:06.920
<v Speaker 2>So you're you have a sleep paralysis demon? Who's a gnome?

0:07:08.880 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 3>I guess he's not in everyone. Sometimes it's different, it's

0:07:11.960 --> 0:07:14.240
<v Speaker 3>a different thing, but it's always like there's something looking

0:07:14.280 --> 0:07:14.520
<v Speaker 3>at me.

0:07:16.440 --> 0:07:23.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's like sleep paralysis, right, Yeah, I guess how

0:07:23.400 --> 0:07:26.880
<v Speaker 2>how often do you have these dreams? Uh?

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I have. But that was when like so like

0:07:37.960 --> 0:07:39.800
<v Speaker 3>after I went to because I went to rehounds for

0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:43.960
<v Speaker 3>arounders and stuff, because I did it when I was younger.

0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.400
<v Speaker 3>We put some holes in my brain apparently some something psychological.

0:07:48.200 --> 0:07:49.800
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, but it just said to take a

0:07:50.000 --> 0:07:51.960
<v Speaker 3>take like twenty years to clear up or something and

0:07:52.040 --> 0:07:54.560
<v Speaker 3>heal from the damage. I just did that like a

0:07:54.600 --> 0:07:55.280
<v Speaker 3>really bad time.

0:07:56.320 --> 0:07:58.560

<v Speaker 2>All right, So you were purchased why do you say

0:08:06.040 --> 0:08:07.440
<v Speaker 2>purchase instead of adopted?

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:10.400
<v Speaker 3>It adds a little psaz?

0:08:12.560 --> 0:08:15.520
<v Speaker 2>No, it totally, it totally does it totally adds a

0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 2>little pizaz.

0:08:17.640 --> 0:08:20.640

<v Speaker 3>from my school because I was in front of it.

0:08:32.480 --> 0:08:34.640

0:09:11.800 --> 0:09:14.560
<v Speaker 2>Okay, so you were purchased. I guess it's it is

0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:17.120
<v Speaker 2>kind of a flex to be like you are inherent.

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:22.480
<v Speaker 2>You have a like they say, you can't put a

0:09:22.600 --> 0:09:26.320
<v Speaker 2>price on human life. But you literally can be like

<v Speaker 2>I am worth at least ten thousand dollars.

0:09:34.160 --> 0:09:41.240
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, I guess if you look at it that way, Yeah,

0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:44.520
<v Speaker 3>ten thousand dollars. Dude, I paid. I paid ten thousand

0:09:44.600 --> 0:09:48.160
<v Speaker 3>dollars and sixteen cents from behind the city.

0:09:52.320 --> 0:09:53.600
<v Speaker 2>Okay, I mean that's pretty good.

0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, I think the piece of crap ten

0:09:57.800 --> 0:10:01.240
<v Speaker 3>thousand dollars? What would you buy with ten thousand dollars?

0:10:01.760 --> 0:10:06.120
<v Speaker 2>Like, what would I buy with ten thousand dollars? Well,

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:08.760
<v Speaker 2>it's I mean, I guess it's it's interesting to know

0:10:08.920 --> 0:10:11.360
<v Speaker 2>that you can buy a baby for ten thousand dollars.

0:10:11.360 --> 0:10:14.440
<v Speaker 2>I don't know if I'm gonna do anything with that information.

0:10:15.600 --> 0:10:22.719
<v Speaker 2>But what else is worth ten thousand dollars? Maybe, like, uh,

0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 2>I don't know you could buy I sold my car.

0:10:27.440 --> 0:10:30.480
<v Speaker 2>It was a Ford Focus and I only I got

0:10:30.520 --> 0:10:34.240
<v Speaker 2>like two thousand dollars for that ship. So I guess

0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:35.920
<v Speaker 2>I would buy five of those.

0:10:38.960 --> 0:10:43.160
<v Speaker 3>You're right, what is valuable to you?

0:10:44.160 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 2>What is valuable to me? Like like in life? Like

0:10:49.080 --> 0:10:51.720
<v Speaker 2>like what's like what's valuable to me? Like? What would

0:10:51.760 --> 0:10:55.320
<v Speaker 2>I what's valuable to me? Monetarily speaking? Or it just

0:10:55.400 --> 0:10:55.800
<v Speaker 2>in life.

0:10:56.160 --> 0:10:59.320
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, what is what is something like whatever? Whatever you

0:10:59.320 --> 0:11:04.200
<v Speaker 3>think about buying something like comfort or and that doesn't

0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:07.079
<v Speaker 3>have to do with food. What like what monetary?

0:11:09.520 --> 0:11:12.720
<v Speaker 2>I mean? I try to I mean I try to

0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:16.800
<v Speaker 2>put money away because I just never want my goal.

0:11:16.800 --> 0:11:18.760
<v Speaker 2>I just never want to have to like work a

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 2>real Like I've been able to successfully coast through life

0:11:24.000 --> 0:11:29.600
<v Speaker 2>never having a super real job, and I'd like to

0:11:29.600 --> 0:11:32.480
<v Speaker 2>be able to do that forever. So I just put

0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:35.240
<v Speaker 2>away money. That's the most valuable thing to me. But

0:11:35.520 --> 0:11:37.640
<v Speaker 2>like I like, I mean, I'll spend money on convenience,

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:44.720
<v Speaker 2>like a good fucking Ubers and uber Eats and stuff

0:11:44.760 --> 0:11:49.079
<v Speaker 2>like that. You know, food definitely. I never cook, so

0:11:49.240 --> 0:11:53.200
<v Speaker 2>I'm always buying food out a lot because I don't

0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:58.000
<v Speaker 2>want to have to deal with cooking. You know, I'll

0:11:58.040 --> 0:12:01.319
<v Speaker 2>hire someone to come and clean all the dirt out

0:12:01.360 --> 0:12:09.040
<v Speaker 2>of my apartments stuff like that. You right, what about you?

0:12:14.480 --> 0:12:18.439
<v Speaker 3>Honestly, it's just honest. It's pretty much this tackle Bell.

0:12:18.840 --> 0:12:21.640
<v Speaker 3>I feel like I'm steel Bad or something. Is that

0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:26.000
<v Speaker 3>tacle Bell? It's like anything. I just get tackle Bell

0:12:26.040 --> 0:12:28.800
<v Speaker 3>and they have all the same shit, just different packaging

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:32.840

<v Speaker 2>Okay, So you grew so you go you kind of

0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.600
<v Speaker 2>move around a little bit when you're growing up. You

0:13:36.640 --> 0:13:39.480

<v Speaker 3>I went straight to Yellowstone. I dropped out to college.

0:13:53.080 --> 0:13:54.600
<v Speaker 2>Did you say you went to college for a little bit.

0:13:55.960 --> 0:13:59.960

<v Speaker 3>Yeah, yeah, summer job very nice.

0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:17.960
<v Speaker 2>And then you're like, I'm just not going to go

0:14:18.040 --> 0:14:19.320
<v Speaker 2>to college. I'm just gonna stay here.

0:14:20.760 --> 0:14:22.840
<v Speaker 3>Yeah. It just seemed like a scam. I was gonna

0:14:22.880 --> 0:14:25.400
<v Speaker 3>go to like culinary school, and it just seemed like

0:14:25.400 --> 0:14:27.840
<v Speaker 3>a fat scam, especially because I was working in the

0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.800
<v Speaker 3>kitchen and Yellowstone all the chefs told me not to go.

0:14:31.760 --> 0:14:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Oh, I mean that's awesome. I'm so I'm curious about

0:14:38.720 --> 0:14:42.000
<v Speaker 2>a few things. How did you get what we what

0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:45.880
<v Speaker 2>were you actually doing at Yellowstone? How'd you get involved there?

0:14:46.920 --> 0:14:47.000
<v Speaker 3>What?

0:14:47.680 --> 0:14:50.440
<v Speaker 2>Like, tell me, tell me how you got that gig

0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:51.320
<v Speaker 2>and what the gig is.

0:14:53.120 --> 0:14:57.600
<v Speaker 3>So they have a website called cool Works. It's like Indeed,

0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.520
<v Speaker 3>but for seasonal work, like they have like any national park,

0:15:01.760 --> 0:15:04.680
<v Speaker 3>like whenever they're offering up like Chiju League housekeeping or

0:15:04.760 --> 0:15:10.040
<v Speaker 3>kitchen work. But I applied on cool Works and I

0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:11.400
<v Speaker 3>just want to go just to get the hell out

0:15:11.880 --> 0:15:15.080
<v Speaker 3>with Florida, just see different states. And then none of

0:15:15.120 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 3>the states are cool. It's just hard to compare to

0:15:17.680 --> 0:15:20.240
<v Speaker 3>the South, so it's stick to go for like seasons.

0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.320
<v Speaker 2>So anyway, so I just the only thing I'm like

0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:27.280
<v Speaker 2>dumbfounded by this just because, like I mean, it's so

0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:30.440
<v Speaker 2>like the job market and shit is is kind of

0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:33.600

0:15:53.640 --> 0:15:55.480
<v Speaker 3>to stab someone, and then when they called the National

0:15:55.560 --> 0:15:58.080
<v Speaker 3>Park Service to get him out of the park, he

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.400

<v Speaker 3>except for Roosevelt have one. But it's like if you

0:19:13.480 --> 0:19:16.320
<v Speaker 3>go behind the building and you'll enter like it's just

0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.280
<v Speaker 3>as employees, only then there's like a like a literal

0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:20.440
<v Speaker 3>whole bar, like how you'd have like a nice ass

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:23.360

0:19:41.720 --> 0:19:47.880
<v Speaker 3>Maybe do they pay? Okay, no, they say, all right,

0:19:48.040 --> 0:19:49.600

<v Speaker 2>to Benaderrilla at twelve years old. That's insane. And then

0:28:51.480 --> 0:28:55.480
<v Speaker 2>you fight sleep paralysis demons for the next who knows

0:28:55.520 --> 0:29:00.480

<v Speaker 2>need to see the world and I'm not gonna let

0:29:08.840 --> 0:29:15.600
<v Speaker 2>anyone or anything stop me. And then you meet a

0:29:26.320 --> 0:29:30.040
<v Speaker 2>at the gas station while you're blackout drunk, and then

0:29:30.080 --> 0:29:35.000
<v Speaker 2>you guys get together, and then you move to Louisiana

0:29:35.320 --> 0:29:38.640

0:29:56.040 --> 0:29:58.560
<v Speaker 2>he wasn't worried. He didn't seem worried. He was just

0:29:58.680 --> 0:30:08.120
<v Speaker 2>like enjoying his life for exactly what it is while

0:30:48.480 --> 0:30:53.040
<v Speaker 2>you astro projected? Cascada Cascada I I one hundred percent

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:56.840
<v Speaker 2>remember you. I remember I remember several things. I remember

0:30:56.920 --> 0:31:01.280
<v Speaker 2>several things. I remember one that, yeah, that you astro

0:31:01.400 --> 0:31:06.000
<v Speaker 2>projected into a fucking crazy place, and then we met

0:31:06.040 --> 0:31:07.280
<v Speaker 2>on stage at Bonnaroo.

0:31:07.360 --> 0:31:10.920
<v Speaker 1>I think yes, which was my hail Mary, I just

0:31:11.000 --> 0:31:13.360
<v Speaker 1>dumped Alvira on my face green.

0:31:14.040 --> 0:31:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I do remember that. I do remember that. So

0:31:17.240 --> 0:31:19.640
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna set for people who aren't familiar, I'm gonna

0:31:19.640 --> 0:31:23.160
<v Speaker 2>set some contexts. So you called in a couple of

0:31:23.240 --> 0:31:28.320
<v Speaker 2>years ago to talk about how you astro projected into

0:31:28.400 --> 0:31:30.760
<v Speaker 2>a different universe, which I guess means that you went

0:31:30.800 --> 0:31:36.760
<v Speaker 2>to sleep and then your brain projected into another dimension

0:31:37.280 --> 0:31:41.480
<v Speaker 2>that you call Cascada. Is that an accurate summary?

0:31:41.520 --> 0:31:45.600
<v Speaker 1>Basically up as another person. So some people say it's

0:31:45.640 --> 0:31:49.280
<v Speaker 1>like dissociative, but not in my day to day life.

0:31:49.760 --> 0:31:51.440
<v Speaker 1>I would just wake up and like, oh, I'm harper

0:31:52.040 --> 0:31:54.960
<v Speaker 1>in Cascada, and if a month would pass here, a

0:31:55.000 --> 0:31:56.800
<v Speaker 1>month would have passed there. So it's been going on

0:31:56.840 --> 0:31:58.160
<v Speaker 1>for like fifteen years.

0:31:58.480 --> 0:32:02.720
<v Speaker 2>Okay, well, well Madison, listen, I'm happy you called in again.

0:32:02.800 --> 0:32:07.760
<v Speaker 2>Is there like, uh uh, something update on this or

0:32:07.880 --> 0:32:09.920
<v Speaker 2>something quick?

0:32:10.280 --> 0:32:13.320
<v Speaker 1>You encouraged us me to write it down the book,

0:32:14.360 --> 0:32:18.240
<v Speaker 1>which I did the book is almost done, and this

0:32:18.320 --> 0:32:21.640
<v Speaker 1>has changed the trajectory of my life. I just need

0:32:21.640 --> 0:32:24.880
<v Speaker 1>to thank you. You can have actually changed how my

0:32:24.920 --> 0:32:28.080
<v Speaker 1>life is playing out. I'm leaving in a month go

0:32:28.360 --> 0:32:31.720
<v Speaker 1>be a writer in residence in as Chateau in Champagne,

0:32:31.760 --> 0:32:36.200
<v Speaker 1>France among other artists based off of the book that

0:32:36.240 --> 0:32:36.760
<v Speaker 1>I've written.

0:32:37.920 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 2>Wow, holy crap. Yeah, so you you started, You started

0:32:42.520 --> 0:32:46.360
<v Speaker 2>writing a book about your experiences astro projecting into this

0:32:46.400 --> 0:32:47.120
<v Speaker 2>crazy place.

0:32:48.040 --> 0:32:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, because you said something along the lines of this

0:32:50.600 --> 0:32:53.800
<v Speaker 1>sounds kind of like a Miyazaki movie. You write the

0:32:53.840 --> 0:32:54.480
<v Speaker 1>story down.

0:32:58.120 --> 0:32:59.440
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, so I did.

0:32:59.640 --> 0:33:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I wrote this bitch down and I found on Instagram

0:33:04.000 --> 0:33:07.000
<v Speaker 1>right and lay this writing or it was an artist's residency.

0:33:07.080 --> 0:33:09.920
<v Speaker 1>They have them around. I always thought that was some

0:33:10.000 --> 0:33:13.560
<v Speaker 1>rich kids shit, but I applied through Apply, I sent

0:33:13.640 --> 0:33:16.600
<v Speaker 1>them a short story i'd written and then the plot

0:33:16.600 --> 0:33:19.240
<v Speaker 1>of the book. They offered me money to come work

0:33:19.280 --> 0:33:23.200
<v Speaker 1>on my book and be around other artists like writers, maeakers,

0:33:23.320 --> 0:33:29.080
<v Speaker 1>musicians and help get published. So I'm going to about

0:33:29.080 --> 0:33:31.680
<v Speaker 1>to go to Europe for the first time. I leave

0:33:31.680 --> 0:33:34.640
<v Speaker 1>in November third, and then after that I'm living off

0:33:34.680 --> 0:33:37.520
<v Speaker 1>grid in the nudest colony in the Canary Islands for

0:33:37.640 --> 0:33:38.280
<v Speaker 1>Christmas time.

0:33:38.960 --> 0:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>You're going to a nudist colony in the Canary Islands.

0:33:43.600 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 1>Yes, i am.

0:33:45.400 --> 0:33:46.760
<v Speaker 2>How did you find out about this?

0:33:48.160 --> 0:33:50.600
<v Speaker 1>Okay, maybe you've talked about this before. Have you heard

0:33:50.600 --> 0:33:52.360
<v Speaker 1>of work away? Yeah?

0:33:52.440 --> 0:33:54.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.

0:33:54.240 --> 0:33:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I was just browsing and work away because, like I said,

0:33:56.720 --> 0:33:59.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm already gonna be over there, so while I'm over there,

0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:01.400
<v Speaker 1>I might as well an experience out of the trip.

0:34:01.880 --> 0:34:04.480
<v Speaker 1>So I'm looking for ways to ball on a budget

0:34:04.640 --> 0:34:08.200
<v Speaker 1>and searching through these workaway things. And this because up

0:34:08.280 --> 0:34:11.800
<v Speaker 1>this old gay Irish dude, he lives with this dog

0:34:11.960 --> 0:34:15.239
<v Speaker 1>in this new community in alonzo Rote. He likes to

0:34:15.239 --> 0:34:21.440
<v Speaker 1>show people the culture. He lives in a camperman. You

0:34:21.480 --> 0:34:23.680
<v Speaker 1>live in a tent, but it's part of the commune,

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:25.920
<v Speaker 1>so you can stay as long as you want. So

0:34:26.000 --> 0:34:31.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm gonna stay for a month, including Christmas. I just

0:34:31.200 --> 0:34:33.759
<v Speaker 1>reached out to him. But hey, is this a real

0:34:33.840 --> 0:34:36.120
<v Speaker 1>because it looked too good.

0:34:36.000 --> 0:34:36.480
<v Speaker 2>To be true.

0:34:36.520 --> 0:34:40.360
<v Speaker 1>But he has probably two hundred reviews like it's legit.

0:34:40.920 --> 0:34:43.880
<v Speaker 2>Okay, So so again, some more context for the people.

0:34:44.880 --> 0:34:48.200
<v Speaker 2>So work Away free plug it's this website where you

0:34:48.239 --> 0:34:52.280
<v Speaker 2>can go to like basically you search like a location

0:34:52.680 --> 0:34:55.320
<v Speaker 2>that you want to go to, and you can connect

0:34:55.320 --> 0:34:59.640
<v Speaker 2>with people who like basically you work for them and

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:05.319
<v Speaker 2>change for like housing and food and so it's like

0:35:05.320 --> 0:35:08.160
<v Speaker 2>a way that people can go and uh, you know,

0:35:08.239 --> 0:35:11.200
<v Speaker 2>meet new people, experience new places without having to spend

0:35:11.239 --> 0:35:13.279
<v Speaker 2>a whole bunch of money. So are you working for

0:35:13.360 --> 0:35:14.840
<v Speaker 2>this newdist colony?

0:35:16.239 --> 0:35:20.160
<v Speaker 1>So it's kind of helping out around the camp, but

0:35:20.320 --> 0:35:24.400
<v Speaker 1>mostly he's older and needs companionship and he usesn't like

0:35:24.480 --> 0:35:26.560
<v Speaker 1>to be alone, so he'll have one or two people

0:35:26.760 --> 0:35:29.760
<v Speaker 1>within that time. But the community is like fifty people

0:35:30.880 --> 0:35:34.520
<v Speaker 1>from my research, So it's not like I'm building a thing.

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:39.920
<v Speaker 1>But it's the truth, which is just saying, which is

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:40.799
<v Speaker 1>also crazy.

0:35:42.800 --> 0:35:44.400
<v Speaker 2>Are you this isn't like a This isn't like a

0:35:44.440 --> 0:35:45.920
<v Speaker 2>sugar daddy thing, is it?

0:35:46.600 --> 0:35:47.200
<v Speaker 4>No?

0:35:47.200 --> 0:35:51.000
<v Speaker 1>No, I looked into that, like, I mean, not that

0:35:51.040 --> 0:35:54.600
<v Speaker 1>at all. He's like, if it makes you better, I'm gay.

0:35:54.840 --> 0:35:58.440
<v Speaker 1>It's just this old gay dude that is not lonely,

0:35:58.520 --> 0:36:03.040
<v Speaker 1>but he lives in his own little spot of land

0:36:03.080 --> 0:36:05.120
<v Speaker 1>of this community. And I'm feeling like I'm gonna go

0:36:05.520 --> 0:36:08.960
<v Speaker 1>roll up on a like old commune kind of situation.

0:36:11.440 --> 0:36:13.040
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, which funny enough.

0:36:14.000 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I already help out with a lot of these

0:36:16.239 --> 0:36:19.000
<v Speaker 1>old hippies in Tennessee. I'm part of an environmental group.

0:36:19.040 --> 0:36:24.279
<v Speaker 1>It's like a lot of occagenarians and me doing environmental retreats.

0:36:24.440 --> 0:36:26.440
<v Speaker 1>So I'm used to hanging out with old hippies. So

0:36:26.760 --> 0:36:28.880
<v Speaker 1>I that's the vibe I'm getting.

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:33.879
<v Speaker 2>How old are you, Madison, I'm twenty nine, very cool.

0:36:34.239 --> 0:36:37.640
<v Speaker 2>I love I like this because I you know, I

0:36:37.719 --> 0:36:42.200
<v Speaker 2>struggle with uh, but I want just what I'm about

0:36:42.239 --> 0:36:47.680
<v Speaker 2>to say is just the most first world fucking problem ever.

0:36:48.200 --> 0:36:50.879
<v Speaker 2>But I'm gonna say it anyway. Is I struggle with

0:36:51.040 --> 0:36:58.920
<v Speaker 2>like continually believing that uh, that life that like, my

0:36:59.040 --> 0:37:01.759
<v Speaker 2>life will continue to spans and I'll continue to have

0:37:02.800 --> 0:37:07.520
<v Speaker 2>enriching life experiences and reasons to like wake up in

0:37:07.560 --> 0:37:11.680
<v Speaker 2>the morning and stuff. And when I hear your story,

0:37:12.200 --> 0:37:15.360
<v Speaker 2>I'm inspired because I'm like, you know, if my life

0:37:15.440 --> 0:37:19.520
<v Speaker 2>ever gets stale and I really need something to juice

0:37:19.520 --> 0:37:22.360
<v Speaker 2>it up, I can always go to a nudist colony

0:37:22.640 --> 0:37:25.720
<v Speaker 2>in the Canary Islands and hang out with an old

0:37:25.960 --> 0:37:29.080
<v Speaker 2>gay Irish guy. I mean I mean that, Since I

0:37:29.120 --> 0:37:33.120
<v Speaker 2>mean that, Since I mean that, so sincerely, like I

0:37:33.280 --> 0:37:37.240
<v Speaker 2>sleep better at night knowing that anytime I want that option,

0:37:38.000 --> 0:37:40.920
<v Speaker 2>I can take that option in life. And I like

0:37:40.960 --> 0:37:43.080
<v Speaker 2>hearing that you're talking about this too, because you know

0:37:43.239 --> 0:37:44.719
<v Speaker 2>I've talked I talk about this too, Like a lot

0:37:44.719 --> 0:37:48.400
<v Speaker 2>of people think that. Well, so I mean break this

0:37:48.480 --> 0:37:53.759
<v Speaker 2>down for me real quick, are you? So you're you

0:37:53.760 --> 0:37:56.960
<v Speaker 2>You have to pay to get to the Canary Islands, right,

0:37:57.040 --> 0:37:58.360
<v Speaker 2>you have to pay your own airfare?

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Yes, but it's not as much as you'd think. So

0:38:03.000 --> 0:38:06.959
<v Speaker 1>my writing thing is in Champagne. From there, I'm gonna

0:38:07.040 --> 0:38:09.600
<v Speaker 1>take a train through the Swiss Alps for it's like

0:38:09.640 --> 0:38:12.640
<v Speaker 1>fifty euros and it's a take you through World Heritage sites.

0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:15.000
<v Speaker 1>Gonna go take that beautiful.

0:38:14.520 --> 0:38:15.520
<v Speaker 5>Train right down to Italy.

0:38:15.840 --> 0:38:19.680
<v Speaker 1>Then I'm gonna pop around the Coke Barcelona, Madrid. But

0:38:19.719 --> 0:38:23.960
<v Speaker 1>Madrid to the Canary Islands is like thirty five euros

0:38:24.040 --> 0:38:28.440
<v Speaker 1>for a ticket a plane ride, so it's not it's

0:38:28.480 --> 0:38:31.000
<v Speaker 1>nothing crazy, and I already have those tickets.

0:38:31.480 --> 0:38:35.080
<v Speaker 2>And then once you're there, you can you basically work

0:38:35.120 --> 0:38:37.600
<v Speaker 2>a little bit and you're staying at this place for

0:38:37.640 --> 0:38:38.840
<v Speaker 2>free and you're eating for free.

0:38:40.280 --> 0:38:42.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, so I'm just trading. I'm helping out around camp.

0:38:43.239 --> 0:38:46.160
<v Speaker 5>It's genuinely seems like a lot of people fish.

0:38:45.920 --> 0:38:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Around this community, so that might be part of how

0:38:48.040 --> 0:38:50.520
<v Speaker 1>they get food. I'm not showing up with no money,

0:38:50.560 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, you never you never know. But he says,

0:38:54.160 --> 0:38:56.760
<v Speaker 1>stay here for free, help out around. We're a really

0:38:56.800 --> 0:39:00.239
<v Speaker 1>strong community, so we're just excited to have somebody to

0:39:00.320 --> 0:39:01.160
<v Speaker 1>learn about everything.

0:39:01.920 --> 0:39:04.520
<v Speaker 2>Cool. Well, I like that. I like, uh, the idea

0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:07.520
<v Speaker 2>of like, you know, you you can go out and

0:39:07.560 --> 0:39:09.520
<v Speaker 2>have a new life experience and you don't need to

0:39:09.560 --> 0:39:14.840
<v Speaker 2>spend like an astronomical amount of money to do it

0:39:14.840 --> 0:39:16.960
<v Speaker 2>because anytime, like when I go on Instagram and I

0:39:16.960 --> 0:39:19.480
<v Speaker 2>see like travel content, it's always like people. So it's

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:23.360
<v Speaker 2>people having like fancy fucking dinners and staying at the

0:39:23.680 --> 0:39:27.799
<v Speaker 2>w and like all this crap. And you know you can.

0:39:28.120 --> 0:39:30.680
<v Speaker 2>You can do it on a on a budget. You know,

0:39:30.719 --> 0:39:31.239
<v Speaker 2>you just need a.

0:39:31.239 --> 0:39:32.520
<v Speaker 1>Lot on a budget.

0:39:32.680 --> 0:39:34.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, So I like, I don't.

0:39:34.120 --> 0:39:37.239
<v Speaker 1>Work remote and I'm taking two months off, so I'm

0:39:37.280 --> 0:39:38.440
<v Speaker 1>making it work. I really am.

0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:41.239
<v Speaker 2>I liked that. I think it's I think it's cool

0:39:41.239 --> 0:39:42.840
<v Speaker 2>making it work. I just want to say one thing

0:39:42.920 --> 0:39:46.759
<v Speaker 2>before we go. I appreciate that you said that I

0:39:46.880 --> 0:39:49.640
<v Speaker 2>changed the trajectory of your life, but I just really

0:39:49.680 --> 0:39:53.600
<v Speaker 2>need you to understand that all I I just said, oh,

0:39:53.680 --> 0:39:56.319
<v Speaker 2>maybe you should write a book, and you went and

0:39:56.360 --> 0:39:59.440
<v Speaker 2>you wrote a whole fucking book. So you you were

0:39:59.440 --> 0:40:02.239
<v Speaker 2>the one who changed the trajectory of your life, not

0:40:02.440 --> 0:40:04.400
<v Speaker 2>me so, but I appreciate.

0:40:04.040 --> 0:40:07.479
<v Speaker 1>I have sent to me. You were the lightning rod

0:40:07.560 --> 0:40:09.400
<v Speaker 1>that helped me see the direction I needed to be

0:40:09.440 --> 0:40:12.200
<v Speaker 1>stepping into. And I just want to thank you for that.

0:40:12.200 --> 0:40:14.360
<v Speaker 1>That was a chance, but you were the person that

0:40:14.400 --> 0:40:15.239

<v Speaker 2>I don't know. I don't know, like you know, you can.

0:41:26.239 --> 0:41:28.200
<v Speaker 2>I guess you can just do if you really want to.

0:41:28.520 --> 0:41:30.439
<v Speaker 2>I really do believe like if you want to make

0:41:30.480 --> 0:41:37.160
<v Speaker 2>it work, to just go do something random and weird. Yeah,

0:41:37.200 --> 0:41:42.920
<v Speaker 2>I'd like to think it's figure outable. I'd like to

0:41:43.080 --> 0:41:46.160
<v Speaker 2>think if you just you decide I want to do

0:41:46.239 --> 0:41:52.600
<v Speaker 2>a random, weird thing and I'm gonna figure out logistically

0:41:52.719 --> 0:41:56.520
<v Speaker 2>how I'm gonna do it, that it's possible. I'd like

0:41:56.600 --> 0:42:00.640
<v Speaker 2>to think that a new where is the Canary Eye Islands?

0:42:01.160 --> 0:42:04.160
<v Speaker 2>Is that a real place that sounds like a that

0:42:04.239 --> 0:42:13.399
<v Speaker 2>sounds fake? Canary Islands a newdest resort? Well, yeah, maybe

0:42:13.440 --> 0:42:14.239
<v Speaker 2>I'll do that one day.

0:42:14.239 --> 0:42:18.360
<v Speaker 3>Who knows all from Lena?

0:42:20.480 --> 0:42:20.840
<v Speaker 2>Hello?

0:42:22.080 --> 0:42:22.560

<v Speaker 5>My name is Lena?

0:42:28.600 --> 0:42:30.720
<v Speaker 2>Hello Lena? Have we ever spoken before? Lena?

0:42:31.719 --> 0:42:31.919

<v Speaker 2>Well? What's up? Dude? How How's how can I? How

<v Speaker 2>can I be a gecko on the phone with you today?

0:42:41.600 --> 0:42:41.719
<v Speaker 3>So?

0:42:42.520 --> 0:42:47.680
<v Speaker 5>Get this right? I have this cat. He's really cool.

0:42:48.560 --> 0:42:51.719
<v Speaker 5>He right? I thought it was a she this whole time.

0:42:51.760 --> 0:42:55.160
<v Speaker 5>I got him In May. I think I have a

0:42:55.200 --> 0:42:58.840
<v Speaker 5>transgender cat, and I want to know if I should

0:42:58.840 --> 0:43:04.560
<v Speaker 5>have like a coming out party or I don't know,

0:43:04.600 --> 0:43:07.200
<v Speaker 5>if you have something you know, like it's a pretty

0:43:07.239 --> 0:43:07.680
<v Speaker 5>big deal.

0:43:08.480 --> 0:43:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I don't think that you initially thinking that

0:43:11.560 --> 0:43:15.520
<v Speaker 2>your cat is uh you you thought it was a boy.

0:43:16.280 --> 0:43:18.040
<v Speaker 5>I thought it was a girl. So I had it

0:43:18.080 --> 0:43:20.480
<v Speaker 5>for months and I thought it was a girl, and

0:43:20.520 --> 0:43:24.319
<v Speaker 5>then I was giving it a bad because he she

0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:27.840
<v Speaker 5>at the time liked.

0:43:26.520 --> 0:43:28.879
<v Speaker 2>Well, I just just real quick, just I don't think

0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:33.719
<v Speaker 2>that you thinking your cat is a girl and then

0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:37.719
<v Speaker 2>realizing it's a boy is the same thing as your

0:43:37.880 --> 0:43:40.200
<v Speaker 2>cat being transgender.

0:43:40.880 --> 0:43:45.160
<v Speaker 5>That's I think it is, because why because I don't know.

0:43:45.239 --> 0:43:47.239
<v Speaker 5>It just seems so sudden, you know what I mean.

0:43:47.480 --> 0:43:49.880
<v Speaker 5>Like I feel like I would have known. I should

0:43:49.920 --> 0:43:52.239
<v Speaker 5>have I should have known in the beginning. And I

0:43:52.280 --> 0:43:56.200
<v Speaker 5>feel like I've just been disrespecting their gender this whole time.

0:43:56.640 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 2>Well, I guess your cat, I mean, I guess your

0:43:59.120 --> 0:44:01.520
<v Speaker 2>cat has it like a small penis that you just

0:44:01.560 --> 0:44:02.640
<v Speaker 2>didn't realize was that.

0:44:04.840 --> 0:44:07.239
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, but none of that.

0:44:07.400 --> 0:44:09.399
<v Speaker 2>But yeah, but that doesn't make that doesn't make your

0:44:09.400 --> 0:44:14.560
<v Speaker 2>cat trans that your cat. I'll say, here's what I'll say.

0:44:14.920 --> 0:44:21.480
<v Speaker 2>The idea that you personally had a trans gender cat

0:44:21.719 --> 0:44:26.879
<v Speaker 2>existed in your brain because you in your brain there

0:44:27.000 --> 0:44:32.480
<v Speaker 2>was a girl cat who then transitioned into a boy cat.

0:44:33.239 --> 0:44:35.920
<v Speaker 2>But that's that's I mean, so you can have a

0:44:36.480 --> 0:44:39.560
<v Speaker 2>you can have a coming out party in your own consciousness,

0:44:39.600 --> 0:44:43.080
<v Speaker 2>but that's not I guess what's taking place in reality.

0:44:45.560 --> 0:44:48.080
<v Speaker 5>Him them, but the cat.

0:44:48.200 --> 0:44:50.759
<v Speaker 2>But the cat was always a boy, right, It didn't like,

0:44:51.080 --> 0:44:51.880
<v Speaker 2>nothing changed.

0:44:55.120 --> 0:45:01.040
<v Speaker 5>So my cat's name is Kouchie, right and Ramonte. Now

0:45:01.239 --> 0:45:05.640
<v Speaker 5>now that I know it's a boy, and I don't know,

0:45:05.719 --> 0:45:08.800
<v Speaker 5>I feel like this whole time, like the pink toy,

0:45:09.560 --> 0:45:12.360
<v Speaker 5>the girly conversations. Of course I talked to my cat.

0:45:13.280 --> 0:45:16.200
<v Speaker 5>I feel like I've just been I've just been disrespecting

0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:17.320
<v Speaker 5>it this whole time.

0:45:17.719 --> 0:45:19.279
<v Speaker 2>I mean you can keep I mean, you can keep

0:45:19.320 --> 0:45:21.239
<v Speaker 2>treating your cat like a girl. I don't know, like

0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:22.320
<v Speaker 2>do I don't think.

0:45:22.280 --> 0:45:26.320
<v Speaker 5>He's very fasty too, dude, you can't treating here's.

0:45:26.280 --> 0:45:28.560
<v Speaker 2>Here's here's you can keep treating your cat like a

0:45:28.560 --> 0:45:31.000
<v Speaker 2>girl because he's like your cat. I don't even think

0:45:31.040 --> 0:45:35.920
<v Speaker 2>your cat. I don't think that your cat knows anything

0:45:35.960 --> 0:45:39.959
<v Speaker 2>about itself. I don't think your cat knows it's a cat.

0:45:40.040 --> 0:45:42.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't think it knows it's a boy or a girl.

0:45:42.280 --> 0:45:48.759
<v Speaker 2>I think your cat is dumb, no offense, your animals are.

0:45:48.880 --> 0:45:51.680
<v Speaker 2>Animals are dumb, and I don't care. I know that.

0:45:51.719 --> 0:45:53.319
<v Speaker 2>I know that there's a you can show me a

0:45:53.360 --> 0:45:57.760
<v Speaker 2>YouTube video of a cat that like saves another cat

0:45:57.880 --> 0:46:00.239
<v Speaker 2>from a thing. But animals are just dumb. But they

0:46:00.280 --> 0:46:05.279
<v Speaker 2>don't have awareness of them. So the reason why I can't,

0:46:05.360 --> 0:46:10.120
<v Speaker 2>the reason why a cat can't be transgender and a

0:46:10.200 --> 0:46:14.960
<v Speaker 2>human ken is because a human has the awareness to

0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:19.279
<v Speaker 2>know what they are, and a cat, the cat's brain

0:46:19.400 --> 0:46:24.040
<v Speaker 2>isn't developed enough to do that. So I mean, I

0:46:24.040 --> 0:46:25.600
<v Speaker 2>guess your cat could be gay.

0:46:27.280 --> 0:46:30.080
<v Speaker 5>He's gay. We figured it out. He's just gay.

0:46:30.360 --> 0:46:31.920
<v Speaker 2>I'm not saying he is. I'm saying he could be.

0:46:33.760 --> 0:46:35.719
<v Speaker 5>He's gay though he's gay.

0:46:37.800 --> 0:46:40.239
<v Speaker 2>I just you you want your cat to be gay

0:46:40.280 --> 0:46:41.439
<v Speaker 2>for some reason. I don't know why.

0:46:41.480 --> 0:46:46.600
<v Speaker 5>You know. You know that question gay son or thought

0:46:46.680 --> 0:46:48.879
<v Speaker 5>daughter gay son? All the way.

0:46:49.400 --> 0:46:51.520
<v Speaker 2>I don't. I hate that question. I really, I really,

0:46:51.560 --> 0:46:53.680
<v Speaker 2>I really do have that question. I do. I hate

0:46:53.680 --> 0:46:56.960
<v Speaker 2>that question. What's wrong with having either? I'm not even

0:46:57.000 --> 0:46:59.200
<v Speaker 2>saying that to like sound like a good person. I

0:46:59.280 --> 0:47:01.600
<v Speaker 2>just don't like that question.

0:47:03.760 --> 0:47:06.960
<v Speaker 5>You're absolutely right. I think I want my cat to

0:47:07.000 --> 0:47:08.840
<v Speaker 5>be gay. I think I'm the problem.

0:47:08.880 --> 0:47:11.920
<v Speaker 2>Mile, It's it's possible.

0:47:13.400 --> 0:47:16.760
<v Speaker 5>Wow, you really are a therapist.

0:47:17.280 --> 0:47:19.640
<v Speaker 2>No, I'm not at all. I'm not a therapist. I

0:47:19.680 --> 0:47:24.960
<v Speaker 2>am not a therapist. I am I am. I am

0:47:25.400 --> 0:47:28.200
<v Speaker 2>a green man, That's what I am.

0:47:28.600 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 5>You really helped me figure this one out. Man.

0:47:31.400 --> 0:47:34.719
<v Speaker 2>Well I'm glad. I'm very glad that I know. I

0:47:34.719 --> 0:47:37.280
<v Speaker 2>don't think. I don't think. I don't think I did anything,

0:47:37.280 --> 0:47:42.480
<v Speaker 2>and I don't think you did anything. I don't think, Lena,

0:47:42.560 --> 0:47:43.800
<v Speaker 2>is there anything else you want to say to the

0:47:43.800 --> 0:47:44.960
<v Speaker 2>people of the computer before we go?

0:47:46.800 --> 0:47:51.160
<v Speaker 5>Listen, guys, if you ever think your cat may be

0:47:51.800 --> 0:47:58.319
<v Speaker 5>gay or transgender or anything, maybe maybe they're not and

0:47:58.400 --> 0:48:01.400
<v Speaker 5>maybe they're just a cat and they just want to

0:48:02.280 --> 0:48:06.719
<v Speaker 5>love you and be there for you and have no labels.

0:48:07.239 --> 0:48:08.919
<v Speaker 5>They want to be cat or dog.

0:48:11.440 --> 0:48:11.720
<v Speaker 3>Wow.

0:48:11.920 --> 0:48:13.520
<v Speaker 5>Thank you, this was this was healing.

0:48:14.880 --> 0:48:17.040
<v Speaker 2>I have a good one, Lena, Thank you.

0:48:17.040 --> 0:48:17.440
<v Speaker 5>Good night.

0:48:21.080 --> 0:48:24.840
<v Speaker 2>You know this illustrates something to me, is I think

0:48:26.560 --> 0:48:29.000
<v Speaker 2>you know people are always people always are mad about

0:48:29.040 --> 0:48:32.240
<v Speaker 2>like like when someone goes on Facebook and they see

0:48:32.320 --> 0:48:35.680
<v Speaker 2>like a status from a guy and he's like, I've

0:48:35.719 --> 0:48:38.200
<v Speaker 2>decided that I identify as a wolf, and they get

0:48:38.239 --> 0:48:40.640
<v Speaker 2>like upset about that. I don't. I don't think that's

0:48:40.680 --> 0:48:43.960
<v Speaker 2>something to get upset by. It's something to be celebrated

0:48:44.000 --> 0:48:48.239
<v Speaker 2>because like the like the awareness that you, as a

0:48:48.320 --> 0:48:54.719
<v Speaker 2>human being, you are endowed with a brain that is

0:48:54.840 --> 0:48:58.399
<v Speaker 2>aware of itself. You're aware of your own death, You're

0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:00.680
<v Speaker 2>aware of your own identity, like you know, you're like no,

0:49:01.360 --> 0:49:06.560
<v Speaker 2>no animal knows its name or whether it's a boy

0:49:06.680 --> 0:49:10.120
<v Speaker 2>or animals, they just they don't have awareness of them,

0:49:10.160 --> 0:49:13.839
<v Speaker 2>so they don't know that they're gonna die. It's kind

0:49:13.840 --> 0:49:17.360
<v Speaker 2>of blissful, actually, it's it sounds peaceful to be an animal.

0:49:17.520 --> 0:49:19.680
<v Speaker 2>That's why dogs are always happy and they always have

0:49:19.719 --> 0:49:24.759
<v Speaker 2>that face. But as a human, you have awareness, and

0:49:24.800 --> 0:49:31.480
<v Speaker 2>you with that awareness, like deciding who you are is like, uh,

0:49:32.120 --> 0:49:39.879
<v Speaker 2>it's kind of a beautiful advancements of the human species

0:49:40.480 --> 0:49:43.440
<v Speaker 2>in a sense. You get to customize, you get you

0:49:43.440 --> 0:49:47.359
<v Speaker 2>can be whatever you want. You can decide what you

0:49:47.400 --> 0:49:53.080
<v Speaker 2>are because you're a human. It's cool, you know. Can't

0:49:53.160 --> 0:49:59.480
<v Speaker 2>cats can't do that. Cats can only be cats because

0:49:59.520 --> 0:50:03.279
<v Speaker 2>they have they don't have the awareness to identify as

0:50:03.320 --> 0:50:09.600
<v Speaker 2>anything else, which is I was gonna say that that's

0:50:09.640 --> 0:50:12.960
<v Speaker 2>a bummer, but I also think, but I also think awareness.

0:50:13.680 --> 0:50:15.160
<v Speaker 2>I don't know about you guys, I don't know about

0:50:15.160 --> 0:50:19.359
<v Speaker 2>the people listening, but I most of life's problems are

0:50:20.400 --> 0:50:27.320
<v Speaker 2>due to awareness. Although the animal Kingdom, uh, the animal

0:50:27.400 --> 0:50:31.879
<v Speaker 2>kingdom is mainly concerned with only with present dangers. There's

0:50:32.080 --> 0:50:38.719
<v Speaker 2>a lion is gonna come kill me. Animals only know

0:50:38.840 --> 0:50:41.600
<v Speaker 2>that they're gonna die if they're like right about two,

0:50:43.239 --> 0:50:45.719
<v Speaker 2>you know what I mean, Like, an animal only knows

0:50:45.880 --> 0:50:48.480
<v Speaker 2>is gonna die if if a lion is chasing it.

0:50:49.000 --> 0:50:54.560
<v Speaker 2>But we're we're sitting here like, oh no, in sixty years,

0:50:54.600 --> 0:50:57.960
