Introduction and Podcast Origin
00:00:01
Speaker
Welcome back to the Connected Minds podcast, guys. Christian Jourdanoff here. Today we have two guests. They are the hosts of Spencer Serenade. They're Spencer and Dan. Guys, thank you so much for joining us today. Thanks for having us. Yeah, thanks for having us. This is a huge opportunity for us. We interviewed you last week for our podcast and we're getting good results, good feedback on that episode. Awesome. I'm very excited to see where this takes us, all of us.
00:00:31
Speaker
Yeah, dude, it was a lot of fun talking to you guys, man. And we covered a lot of really fun topics. And I'm actually going to obviously link to that episode under this episode for our listeners. And I'm going to cut out clips to that, maybe post it here. People can get a taste for the conversation. I'm sure they will enjoy it. Awesome. Yeah, thank you. We appreciate that.
00:00:58
Speaker
So tell the listeners a bit about yourselves, guys, and about the kind of research you're doing for your podcast, the topics you cover, and all that good stuff.
Exploring Esoteric Knowledge and Alternatives
00:01:08
Speaker
You want me to take it? Yeah. All right. So I'm Spencer for the listeners, host of Spencer Serenade. This is my co-host, Danny. We started our podcast September 2022 and have been going ever since. We're almost at 40 episodes now. So now is the time to
00:01:27
Speaker
Get into it if you haven't found us yet. Get into it. We have a nice backlog of episodes you can catch up on. But the whole premise of the show, listening to Mark Steves from the My Family Thinks I'm Crazy podcast and his story about him just being a delivery driver and other odd jobs, listening to podcasts all day and gaining all this knowledge but having no one to really share it with.
00:01:54
Speaker
Uh, hence the name of his show. My family thinks I'm crazy. You know, everybody shared it with is like, Oh dude, you're off the wall. And I was in the same boat. Um, Danny and I both kind of been on this journey together, you know, the initiation or the awakening, whatever you want to consider it or call it. It's, it's been realizing what the world actually is.
00:02:18
Speaker
behind the scenes, what the media puts out isn't what actually is going on. So we went on this journey together, growing together, sharing information back and forth. Oh, did you see this? Did you see that? So we have all this knowledge in our brains and nobody to really share it with but ourselves. And we needed a platform to put it out on.
00:02:40
Speaker
Um, so one thing, one big thing for both of us is we went through the conspiracy rabbit holes all the way down. We almost both became black pill at some point and had to break out of that. So we wanted to start a show talking about the
00:02:57
Speaker
We incorporate conspiracies, but not as much. It's more the hidden knowledge to benefit your life. So that's the esoteric side of our podcast. And if you go on our feed, you'll notice it's esoteric and solutions. So the solution side, we wanted to just go about and try and help people where you're struggling with this, OK, depression. Well, let's break that down into what are the causes? What can you do about it?
00:03:26
Speaker
What does mainstream say this is? What does mainstream say you need for this? And we give alternate options and exercises to correct those sorts of things than the mainstream gives. Because most of the time with the mainstream it's, here's a pill. If this doesn't help, we'll give you another pill. If this causes side effects, we'll give you a pill for those side effects.
Personal Awakening Stories
00:03:50
Speaker
So we wanted to try and break that stigma of
00:03:54
Speaker
finding help outside of that because everybody, most people have been so indoctrinated by the medical system, the pharmaceutical system to believe that a pill is the answer to everything. It's a diet pill, it's a depression pill, an anxiety pill, you name it, there's a pill out there or a drug out there to, you know, quote unquote, correct it.
00:04:16
Speaker
And what I've found through personal experience with me taking those sorts of pills and friends taking those sorts of pills, it just doesn't work. It never works. There's always something, like I said, if you get a side effect from that, we got another pill for that. But most of the time it's just not. It's putting a Band-Aid on a bullet hole, as people say.
00:04:40
Speaker
It doesn't solve the problem. So that's where we come in and we dive into solutions like, okay, depression. All right. What happened in your childhood? What's that story? Okay. Now, how have you dealt with that to actually help yourself? You know, the shadow work, we bring up shadow work constantly on the show because it's such a huge part of anybody's awakening journey to get to this point of
00:05:06
Speaker
I don't even want to say enlightenment or nirvana, but just getting to this point of bettering your life rather than, like I said earlier, putting a band-aid on a bullet hole. It's like if you don't deal with this trauma that's causing this depression or this anxiety, this whatever ailment you might be suffering from, if you don't deal with that trauma, it will never heal.
00:05:31
Speaker
So we take a look at it from that aspect and tie in as much esoteric knowledge as possible, whether that's religious doctrine or just something like Pat Mahan, what he does where it's life coaching, but on
00:05:49
Speaker
an elevated level. It's such a high vibration of life coaching that I don't there needs to be a new term for it. Almost something like Heather Thomas's spiritual awakening mentor ships. So that's almost what I would consider it is is
00:06:07
Speaker
we're kind of an introductory level podcast of that awakening journey. Okay. If you, you're coming to us through a conspiracy lens, let's talk about some of those conspiracies, but let's talk about why they're happening, what the esoteric, the occult symbolisms and meanings are behind it and break it down. Why they're doing it this way, whether it's a false flag,
00:06:32
Speaker
you know, 9-11 type of situation or a shooting, whatever it is. Let's break it down. Let's see the symbolism. Look at how it's more of a mass ritual of some sort and how you can break that spell for yourself and then break that spell for your friends and family whenever they come around to that point of awakening.
00:06:53
Speaker
So that's kind of the story, the journey we've been on over the past almost year now. How did you get into this esoteric stuff and what sort of was your 911 or your JFK, whatever moment? So for me, for me, a big one was Santa Claus.
Parenting and Education Concerns
00:07:21
Speaker
and just realizing that this entire group of people, adults, is lying to me about this one thing. And then the Tooth Fairy and the Easter Bunny. And it really made me question at an early age, why are people lying about this sort of thing? And same with religion. So, you know, Santa Claus, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy, religion being pushed down my throat by my grandmother, bless her heart, I love her to death.
00:07:52
Speaker
But the religious indoctrination she was trying to push was, it really made me buck against the system saying, well, this can't possibly be true what you're telling me because full disclosure, I didn't have the greatest childhood. It wasn't the worst. People definitely had it way worse than me out there, but it was something that made me question. It's like, okay, this benevolent, all loving God,
00:08:17
Speaker
is said to punish those who sin, but I'm just a kid. I haven't sinned. I'm being punished. Why is that? Uh, so those were the two major things. And then a couple little things here and there, but that, that was kind of my aha moment. And I was in and out of, uh,
00:08:38
Speaker
initiation or awakeness throughout my life in different periods. It's like, you know, I wake up to this and then it's like, ah, I can't do anything to fight it. I didn't have the skills, the knowledge or the tools to fight it. So I was just like, I'll just recede back in the Homer Simpson meme where he sees back into the bush. So that was kind of me growing up. It's like, yeah, I'd be awakened for a little bit and then I'd recede back and then I'd see something else.
00:09:07
Speaker
And then it really hit hard in college pursuing a teaching degree and just seeing full force what the indoctrination is in the school systems. And so I was going to be an elementary teacher, a special education teacher and the curriculum they're shoving down your throat to shove down the kids throats is
00:09:30
Speaker
insane. I mean, it is absolute insanity what it is. And I bucked against that pretty hard and ended up just pulling back from pursuing that just because I couldn't bring myself to teach that. And there's nowhere I could really go
00:09:50
Speaker
I mean, there are places, but it was same thing, just a little different. There's nowhere I could go where I could have true freedom on teaching. It's like you have to follow this curriculum, otherwise you're reprimanded some way, shape, or form. So that's kind of my story on that. For me? We'll circle back to that. Danny, what about yourself, bro?
00:10:15
Speaker
Oh, for me, I would say dinosaurs. I kind of never believed that dinosaurs were real. I never did. I had posters of dinosaurs in my room as a kid, too. I liked them and stuff, but in my head, I kind of just thought they were the same as like Bigfoot or something.
00:10:34
Speaker
Which now I would believe in Bigfoot more than dinosaurs. And then my dad also, he would never like fully say anything, but he just, when I got a little older, maybe like 10, he'd just be like, I don't know, 11 is kind of weird, huh? Like it was weird. And then he mentioned like the book of Enoch and stuff like that. Your dad mentioned the book of Enoch. Yeah, yeah. Wow.
00:10:59
Speaker
But he never would go into it. He'd just kind of pepper in some things, and then I'd look into it. That's the way to do it. That's amazing, bro. I'm going to be that kind of dad. My kid's going to be like four or whatever.
00:11:16
Speaker
You know, I'm going to be like, Oh, here's the itching, you know, figured that one out. There's no pictures, but you know, I can read it too. You know, I think it's, it's, that's awesome. So, um, Danny, you have one or how many kids you have? I have two kids now. My daughter was just born in February. Nice. Spencer. Just one. Just one is like six or eight months. Was it? Uh, he's actually in six days. He'll be a year old.
00:11:44
Speaker
Okay, very nice. Yeah, so you're both parents. You know, actually, this is a good topic to develop further, you know, the teaching system. I mean, we don't necessarily have to tread over the same ground as, you know, Common Core and its sponsors.
00:12:03
Speaker
and how stupid it is teaching kids that two and two can equal five if you show your work. I think most people listening to us probably know that's a lot of bollocks.
Societal Dependence on Convenience and Materialism
00:12:20
Speaker
But maybe you can tell me, so what sort of disenchanted you with the training you were receiving to become a special education elementary teacher?
00:12:32
Speaker
Yeah. So, I mean, there, there was, there's so many things that stick out. Uh, number one, uh, just through my journey, questioning the school system and how valid it was in the first place and then getting to college and realizing like it's a load of bullocks. I mean, it's a, it's a money scam, but the, the training courses to become a teacher, you know, the curriculum that they're trying to teach you to teach the kids is
00:13:03
Speaker
you know, math, for example, there's, there's eight different ways to solve this one problem. There's, you know, multiplication, there's eight different ways that you can show a kid to learn. And I totally am on board with showing different ways because not every one thing works for every kid. They, you know, something else might click better with them. So I was on board with that, but the way that they're showing is,
00:13:33
Speaker
There were very complex ways.
00:13:36
Speaker
And it was hard for even college students to comprehend like, okay, how is this even working? Why, how am I going to show a fourth grader how this works? It makes no sense to me. So I can't even explain it to them. When you go on YouTube and you look up, Oh, here's three simple ways to solve this equation. Boom, boom, boom. And it makes a hell of a lot more sense than what they're trying to shove down kids throats.
00:14:05
Speaker
What do you think that is? Do you think it's just to confuse them from an early age or what do you think the reasoning is? In my opinion, and we discussed this a little bit when you were on our show, it's more to turn kids off to these skills. Because math is such a fun, it can be such a fun and practical skill, same with reading and writing.
00:14:29
Speaker
but we're force fed this bullshit. And I think it's just to turn us off from it so we don't develop these skills because they are super practical skills and they will help you more than excel in life if you are proficient at basic and advanced arithmetic, algebra, geometry, you know, getting past those levels, you get into more specific fields, which is
00:14:55
Speaker
literally just if you wanted to go into math, you know, pre calculus type of classes. Same with reading, though. I mean, it's it's forced down your throat, you will read this, you will write a paper on this instead of, okay, read this. And I want to know your outlook on it, how it affected you, how it impacted you, what emotions were you feeling, instead of like,
00:15:21
Speaker
Oh, what was the author trying to convey? And if it's not along these lines that the curriculum says, the standard says that you're supposed to get this message from, then you fail.
00:15:32
Speaker
So in my opinion, it's it's mostly just to turn people kids off from these developing these skills and enjoying these skills becoming proficient in them because like I said, they're they're huge benefit in life. If you are proficient in these skills, you will go super far. There's not a job that wouldn't hire you. There's not a person on the planet that wouldn't think you're intelligent. If you can solve this equation quickly because you know, a basic way
00:16:02
Speaker
Whereas the school system taught you this super super complex way And yeah, you might be able to come out with the right answer you might not but this basic way breaks it down To its simplistic terms and how it should be taught because math math shouldn't be as hard as everybody makes it out to see yeah Yeah, and it's it's a struggle for most people to do very basic things in math You know, for example
00:16:29
Speaker
the other day at work I had this lady I was working with and she is doing these calculations and she's on Google and she says 1 16th as a decimal and that's a super super basic skill basic
00:16:48
Speaker
know how to convert that to a fraction. Even if you don't know how to do it in your head, it's super basic on a calculator. 1 divided by 16. And she had no clue, absolutely no clue how to do that. Wait, she's 1 divided by 16. And what if I want to find what's 1 8? 1 divided by 8. OK. It's the same with all fractions. Slow down. Slow down. And 1, 1 fourth.
00:17:12
Speaker
Same thing, one divided by four. Fuck bro. And you're saying this is a formula of some kind? No, it's just- I'm fucking with you bro. I was going to write them all down and have them handy in my little back pocket, you know? Oh, well, I'll just tell you. 0.25 is one fourth. 0.125 is one eighth. 1 16th is 0.0625.
00:17:32
Speaker
crazy bro that kids like even adults adults who don't know this shit that we used to know as kids yes exactly born in the 80s and I think I think a lot of it has to do with these mm-hmm
00:17:46
Speaker
Everything we need is very convenient. It's on here. We've lost the ability to do a lot of things because of convenience. And I totally understand it. It is super convenient. A lot of those fraction calculations I can't do in my head. I use a calculator for it. But if I spent the time, then I definitely could. And I forgot who said this.
00:18:14
Speaker
We're talking about technology and how it has basically devolved us to a point where we've lost basic skills. He brought up the example of map reading.
00:18:25
Speaker
Everybody used to know how to read a map. That's how you traveled. You didn't have Google maps. You didn't have Apple maps, anything like that. It was, you're looking at this map. All right, we're going down this road, northbound, and then our exit is going to be eastbound in, you know, use the scale on the map, 25 miles. So we just got to look for this exit, blah, blah, blah.
00:18:51
Speaker
Nobody can do that anymore. And it's a, realistically, it should be a basic thing. I mean, they kind of brushed on it in elementary school, like how to read a map, how to use the scale, like what you're looking for, the different types of maps. But it wasn't a huge thing because they knew the technology was making it convenient. And when I was in elementary, they
00:19:12
Speaker
MapQuest started becoming a bigger thing. So then it wasn't even, you didn't even have to have the map, like you just go on your computer, look it up, print out the sheet, it tells you, all right, you're gonna travel to this exit, it's like five miles away from this one, and then take a right, take a left, whatever. So yeah, I think we've, I agree with, I wish I remembered the guy's name who was saying this, but I agree with him, we've devolved because of technology.
00:19:40
Speaker
And especially talking about kids, they're not developing these skills. I mean, there's kids after the pandemic, third, fourth grade kids that can't read or write because they've done everything on a computer, a Zoom meeting. They can type, they can use text to speech or text lookup or speech lookup, anything like that, but they can't read or write.
00:20:07
Speaker
It's just insane to me. It seems like it's on purpose. It seems the intentional dumbing down of society to create a more docile population to control.
00:20:24
Speaker
I think so. And then you just look at whatever media you're consuming, and then you pick a choice of who to vote for or what to buy. And you just click, tap, tap, consume, consume, consume. And everyone is being bred to be a consumer.
00:20:44
Speaker
you know, just consuming things and like to make very basic, almost sometimes binary choices about your life, you know? Are you with us or against us? It's mad. It's mad. Yeah. Yeah. We had this conversation last night. We recorded two episodes for our show.
00:21:06
Speaker
The society we live in right now is breeding, is purposefully breeding narcissists, sociopaths and capitalistic consumers. That's all they want it to be is you don't have basic skills. So you need to go work this job that requires basic skills. And then you don't, you can't,
00:21:32
Speaker
You're so indoctrinated to believe that happiness comes from objects and things outside of yourself rather than just working on your traumas, like I mentioned earlier, correcting those traumas and becoming truly happy. It's like, oh, if I can only buy this car, if I can only buy this laptop or whatever the case may be, whatever somebody is seeking,
00:21:56
Speaker
for their happiness, it's never gonna work. You hear countless stories and people just kinda disregard them, but you hear countless stories of people making it to the top. They get all this money, they have everything that life or society says you should have to be happy. They got the trophy wife, they got the kids, they got the big house, the nice cars, they got the backyard pool, everything like that, and there's still a void in them.
00:22:24
Speaker
A lot of these stories you hear, you know, because it's a suicide. You hear about it because, oh, this, this celebrity, they got everything they wanted and they're still depressed. There's still something missing in their life and they, they ended up killing themselves. And it's super, super sad because it's not their fault. It's the way society is set up.
Financial Instability and Practical Skills
00:22:45
Speaker
And it, I will die on this hill that all of this is being done on purpose to dumb us down to,
00:22:55
Speaker
take these skills from us, reap these benefits that we provide to society without returning the benefits back to us. In an idealistic society, you get out what you put in.
00:23:09
Speaker
So if you're putting out good work, whatever you're doing, then society should pay you back for that. But it's not even the case anymore because here in the US, social security going downhill. I mean, it's going to tank. There's people that aren't even going to be able to retire.
00:23:27
Speaker
401ks aren't even trustworthy anymore because the monetary system is so shish kebab and they're they're draining The the value of our dollar and there's countries around the world now that aren't even using it as The standard anymore because it's so shit. It's so far down the toilet that there's no saving it they're they're Going back to gold or a ruble or something else besides the US dollar and that's a sad thing because
00:23:57
Speaker
My dad, for example, he's worked 32 years at the same company. And it's been a rough 32 years for him because of aluminum. Yes, the aluminum foundry. So it's been rough on his health. It's been rough on his mental health because the political bullshit that goes on at the shop and the drama and the
00:24:19
Speaker
the negligence that he sees day to day. It's been taken a toll on him and he's worked so hard for it and his retirement reached over a million dollars. His 401k reached over a million dollars.
00:24:35
Speaker
a year and a half ago. So he's like, man, I'm so excited to retire now. And I'm like, dude, you need to, you got to be careful of that. You got to, you got to keep watching where the dollar is going because I don't want you to have worked 32 years of your life, hard work, hard labor for it to just be gone one day because the bank shut down. Is he able to get it out now? I think he could for a hefty tax fee.
00:25:04
Speaker
How old is it 56 or something? You can get it out tax free. Something like that. I thought it was older than that. Maybe it's 62. I think it's 62. 62 or 65 before he can pull it out and he just turned 54. So what about the Patriot Gold Group? You heard of those guys? Yes. Yeah. Them and then Wise Wolf Gold and Silver.
00:25:28
Speaker
Yeah. I mentioned that to him, but yeah, I've been, I've been on him about, you know, you can't, you can't trust that. I mean, the dollar has already lost like what 25, 50% of its purchasing power since the stimulus started in 2020. So at this point, if a person hasn't gotten the message, I mean, are they gonna, you know,
00:25:53
Speaker
And yeah, that's something that personally I've been super aware of and I have people on me. You need to start saving. You need to start saving. And it's like, are you not paying attention?
00:26:04
Speaker
to what is going on. I'd rather put my money into myself, develop skills, develop communication with people and get real life practical experience on things that matter when the monetary system crashes. You're not going to be able to eat gold or silver. And I totally am on board with getting something tangible to keep its value that's going to hold its value. But in my eyes,
00:26:34
Speaker
I think skills are the most valuable, developing a community of people with similar mindset, similar skills. That way, if everything does take a shit, I know how to live off the land. I know how to hunt. I know how to fish. I know how to garden. I know how to build a shelter when I need to build a shelter.
00:27:00
Speaker
basic skills because they are basic skills and they used to be super common amongst everybody, but we've been so devolved to the point where we don't even know how to do that anymore. We don't know how to garden. We don't know how to hunt. We don't know how to fish and it's basic skills of living off the land. People did it for, I want to say, however old humanity actually is. 6,000 years.
00:27:23
Speaker
Well, that's what they claim. Depending on what you believe, historically speaking, it could be 15,000. It could be 24,000. It could be 100,000 years old. I know there's ancient
00:27:36
Speaker
Not ancient tribes, but tribes now that existed in ancient times that have stories and myths dating back amongst their people of a hundred thousand years. So, you know, it's all dependent on what you believe, what kind of research or information you get fed.
00:27:55
Speaker
But that's just my take on it where, like I said, I totally understand you want to have
Disconnection from Natural Living
00:28:02
Speaker
something tangible. Buy gold, buy silver, and have that tangible object, but develop skills. Learn how to live.
00:28:11
Speaker
wild essentially i shouldn't you know i'll tell you we we are so domesticated that like dude i'm going to the beach yesterday or was it yesterday and i'm walking barefoot and then i have to cross like this boardwalk between two parts of the same freaking beach and walking on woods i'm like a little girl bro my kid is like walking like
00:28:40
Speaker
no bother. And like how sort of domesticated and detrained we are from being like walking barefoot or like on rough, like I remember when I was in South Africa, apparently there was a story about Shaka Zulu, you know, the great chief, the revered chief, that he would, one of the reasons why the Zulus became such fierce warriors and they did, you know, expanded the influence of the tribe and all that stuff was that he had specific ways he would train his soldiers. And one thing
00:29:10
Speaker
So they would wear these sandals like that, you know, just primitive sandals that you tie around some part of the foot. And he thought that those really slowed them down and impeded the, you know, the maneuvers and whatever else. So he would said he would strengthen their feet by making them stamp, you know, those kind of big round thorns. He would make them stamp those into the ground with their bare feet. And anybody that pussied out got killed.
00:29:42
Speaker
That's it. That's how so like I think we're a little bit tougher even a hundred even 50 years ago even a hundred years 200 years ago 300 years ago like we were tough tough tough tough
00:29:56
Speaker
Yeah, I totally agree every time that we go out disc golfing now when it's nice enough and if The course is well kept and there's not glass to worry about I take my shoes off. I try to go barefoot Yeah the way I'm walking on the grass. I'm walking on the concrete or the little gravel patches whatever. Yeah, but just to try and get that That toughness back in my feet. Yes, because you are right We are feet have something as simple as that like our feet have become so sensitive because we're always on
00:30:27
Speaker
shoes, padded shoes. Yeah, rubber padding. And then you got the air cushion that's in your shoe. And then you want to get really spiritual esoteric about it. It's like rubber is a
00:30:40
Speaker
Insulator. Insulator. And so you're not, you're not getting the earth energy anymore. So you're cut off from that, that life force, vital energy that we're supposed to be so in tune with. It's really sad. Interesting. Fun fact, you see this here on my wrist. So that's, that's connected to, to my outlet, my socket here.
00:31:04
Speaker
So that apparently grounds you, or earths you. It's just connected to the earth part of the socket, you know? Oh, the grounding wire in it? Yeah, yeah. So I have like a little blankie that you put on top of the, you know, the bed underneath the pillow, underneath the blankets, and that's also connected. So when we sleep,
00:31:27
Speaker
It's got silver fibers and, you know, I don't know how to test it honestly, but apparently that's supposed to ground you. Yeah. And I have a couple, a couple more of these kids. So one other place in the house also has a, one of these grounding wires and I have like three or four other kids where you can create a mat, like a mat area. So when you're stepping on that, you should be getting earth. I'm sure it's not as effective as being, you know, on the wet beach or on the grass, but it's probably a little bit better than nothing.
00:31:58
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. Yeah, and taking that a little bit further, there's a lot of things that are common practice now amongst society that if you really take a step back and think about, it's a very nefarious plan to disconnect us from that earth energy.
00:32:23
Speaker
you know, moving into cities and disconnecting from that wild lifestyle, living in the wild, living off the land, you know, eating natural plants and veggies, fruits that come off the land and eating animals that are eating things off the land as well. I mean, we're so far disconnected from that. Our food supply is
00:32:47
Speaker
all these cows from a, you know, giant conglomerate slaughterhouse and all the eggs we eat are this, it's from this giant chicken coop. Um, the veggies, it's all mass produced in these areas that are sprayed with pesticides and chemicals that
00:33:09
Speaker
depending on what you believe about that might be genetically altering us to become less human and have less of that divine spark. Uh, and one thing that you mentioned earlier is, you know, 50, 60 years ago, we were a lot tougher. That's another aspect of this where I think it's been a purposeful, deliberate plan to break the human spirit. Uh, it's, it's the human spirit is such a powerful thing and
00:33:40
Speaker
The average person just has none left. They're just a drone going about their day. They're on autopilot. They're dosed up with pharmaceuticals or toxified with chemicals. I mean, they're just so- We're just so dependent on the system. Yes. Yeah. We're so dependent on daddy government to come take care of us and feed us, house us, instead of taking initiative.
00:34:08
Speaker
Eddie Bravo always says that there's enough room on this planet for everybody to have an acre. I mean, even if it is seven billion people, there's still enough room, but who knows if there's actually seven billion people on this earth? I don't think at all. I don't think it's anywhere near seven billion. I don't think so either because he has a good point of you fly over the states.
00:34:34
Speaker
And it's just wasteland, not wasteland, but it's just empty land. Yeah. Where nobody's even at. And it's like, even Europe, like you fly over Europe, bro. Look, there was one guy on the on YouTube that he just had a big ass spreadsheet with all the biggest cities. He just started like calculating them. And then people would say, oh, but you know, in
00:34:58
Speaker
in china and india they all they all live rural like that's bullshit like what about the great leap forward mal's great leap forward like that was the whole point of you know urbanizing and there's been like this trend of urbanization for like 70 years so i think that i call bullshit on that you know so if you kind of start calculating
00:35:20
Speaker
start calculating the biggest cities and you start adding them up. I don't know, bro. We all know listening to this. I think most of us know that there's a lot of fuckery with stats out there about safety, efficacy, pathogenicity, death rates of things. It's like if they lie about everything,
00:35:45
Speaker
Why would they not lie about this or any like any arbitrary thing that anyone brings up? Climate change etcetera, etc
00:35:55
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. You start seeing through a couple of the lies and you start questioning everything. And that's a huge turning point for Danny and I, Tin Foil Hat. That was our favorite show. We worked in the same shop and we were just like, oh, wow. Yeah. Did you listen to this episode? Did you listen to this episode?
00:36:19
Speaker
So yeah, I think they started in what, 2016? So we worked together in 2018. So we were two years behind. Well, I was, I don't know. I had listened like a year before. Yeah. So I was two years behind. So I just, I had 10 hours a day that I could listen to something. So I was grinding out and I caught back up and then just kept updated. So you're a black, black belt, 17th Dan and conspiracies. Yeah. For that long. Yeah. Fuck.
00:36:46
Speaker
Yeah. And then, um, you know, those conspiracy guys, they had their first couple of seasons were killer. I mean, they, do you want to talk about a deep dive into stuff? Holy shit. Eight hour episodes, six hour episode, four hour. It's crazy how they, they can put that much time and research into that, but I mean, the product they put out was so great. It was incredible. Uh, very knowledgeable guys over there in Ireland.
00:37:14
Speaker
I didn't know, I didn't know they're in Ireland. Oh, oh, wait, wait. I remember. I, okay. I think I know who you're talking about. Very do relax. And yeah, that guy kind of, I think from, uh,
00:37:26
Speaker
Wexford, I believe. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Because I've lived in Ireland. I love that accent, actually. Yeah. Yeah, Gordo. Gordo, I need to check it out again. Just a big goofball, basically. Just a big goofball. But yeah, I mean, just starting to see through those lies, like, is the first couple of things that Dan put me on to. And I was like, yeah. I mean, it makes sense. I've questioned this before. I've questioned this before. And it's right along the same lines of that.
00:37:54
Speaker
And so you start breaking down those, those stories and those narratives are pushing out and you see that, okay, this doesn't match up. This doesn't match up. And you mentioned you like, it's always sunny. It's a, you know, Charlie out with all the red yarn everywhere.
00:38:12
Speaker
But none of it lines up. You start picking apart these stories detail by detail, and you're like, that's false. That's contradictory to what this person said, so that must be false. Or maybe there's a little truth in there. Then everything opens up. Everything opens up to being questioned because, yeah, if it's something as simple as they're lying about the population,
00:38:36
Speaker
okay, how far does that lie go? What else are they lying about? If they're lying to us about the population or, you know, what's a simple example? Like something that you wouldn't even think to lie about. Like the shape of the earth. I think that's how people get into flat earth is, which, yeah, I mean, I don't know who knows, but I think that's how people start to question everything once you catch on to literally everything's a lie that they say.
00:39:05
Speaker
then why wouldn't they lie about the shape of the earth? Oh, shit. I just saw a video yesterday. My coworker showed me it. Dude Perfect, the guys that do all the trick shots with footballs, basketballs, frisbees, and everything. That's all green screen fakery. Always that. Yeah, so it's something like that where that is something that could awaken a kid.
00:39:35
Speaker
They've been so enthralled with what these guys are doing. Oh, look at this trick shot. Like I want to be like them. I want to be like them. And then they see this video of how it's actually done. And it's a person in a green suit that they're just editing out of the video. And that would make them question their whole reality. Same with Santa Claus. And that's why as at a young age, I was just like, what the fuck? They're lying about Santa Claus? Why? Why? What is the point of that? And then you put it together that
00:40:03
Speaker
Oh, Santa Claus, he's always watching you. If you're not a good boy or girl, you're not getting any presents. So then you realize it's a control system. And it normalizes lying. Yeah. That's a big one. That's right. I told my dad, I wasn't even going to tell my son about Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, or the Easter Bunny because I know for me personally, when I found that out, the distrust that I had for adults after that and the
00:40:34
Speaker
It sounds so silly, but the trauma that it caused in my head, like, oh my God, they've been lying this whole time, my whole life. I don't want to put my son through that. I don't want him thinking that I'm a liar, whether you admit it or not, once you figure that out subconsciously, it sets in that my dad is a liar, my mom is a liar.
00:40:58
Speaker
It's hard to break that is very hard to break that that's horrible dude i i that's what i told my wife you have this conversation already said i'm not gonna bullshit my kid about the show i don't give all and then they were like you know some family members say, oh christian.
00:41:13
Speaker
It's just a tradition. It's an innocent little thing of fuck off. Listen, if you want to do that, you do that. I would raise my kids hell. It really pisses me off, dude, because it's a slippery slope. It's a slippery slope. It's just this. It's just that. It's just a mask. It's just six feet. It's just a little jibby jab. It's just 16 boosters. It's just forced euthanasia for the elderly.
00:41:42
Speaker
Like, where does it end, man? Exactly. I don't know where the point was, but somewhere along the line in history.
00:41:53
Speaker
They crossed that line and people were okay with it and now they keep moving that line further and further because we're allowing it because of that attitude alone where it's just this, it's just that. Do it for all humanity. Be a hero. Yeah, save grandma.
00:42:15
Speaker
All right. Well, grandma's 86, uh, average life expectancy is 76. So, you know, it sounds so morbid to say, but like she lived a wonderful life. It might be your time if that happens. I don't know. I don't know what else to tell you. I don't want to poison myself because of that. Yeah. In Australia, that, that massive lockdown that they did, I think four people had died.
00:42:40
Speaker
or four cases or four people had died and they were all over 80. And I think the life expectancy for men there was 80 or 81. Like most of those people were freaking. Sorry. Yeah, we got Captain America here.
00:42:59
Speaker
Sorry to interrupt, keep going. No, that's all I want to say. Captain, thank you for your service, sir. He said thank you for your service, sir. Thank you. Thank you. Any tweets? Any great gifts? Show him your shield. Oh, damn. That's it. Now
Political Divisiveness and Indoctrination in Education
00:43:19
Speaker
I know you're serious. Now I know you're serious, buddy. How old is he? He's five. Nice. Yeah.
00:43:28
Speaker
He's going to a mother-son dance thing at his preschool. That's awesome. I love to talk to guys that are awake to these things. Like I said, I interviewed Ricky Verandis on Tuesday for the Children's Health Podcast, and we're talking a lot about
00:43:49
Speaker
like talking to guys like you guys like him it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside I know that people out there are gonna do better raising their kids and opening their not I don't mean they're gonna like start
00:44:06
Speaker
you know, telling them, Oh my God, everything's a conspiracy at the age of 80 crazy shit like that. We have to protect the kids. We have to definitely do what you said earlier. Spencer is like, they're trying to beat the human spirit out of people and like this hopelessness and all this stuff and people are depressed and, you know, driven to suicide or, or on pills where everything is like in this kind of mid range of nothing.
00:44:28
Speaker
you know, zero now energy. So it's it's kind of, I like to, you know, associate myself with people that are extremists like myself, I guess, to put it succinctly. Yeah, I think I think we're building a pretty good community here. Brandon Thomas is a huge part of that, putting all these people in contact with each other. It's
00:44:52
Speaker
It's going to be great. I mean, where we can go with this has unlimited potential and it's going to be great. But back to what you were saying. So yeah, I mean, four people over the age of 80 that passed away and then it causes a whole lockdown. I mean, when has that ever been the case?
00:45:12
Speaker
And it's becoming so much more common where we are catering to this small, small minority. We're changing societal norms and practices to cater to a population that's less than 1%.
00:45:27
Speaker
things along those lines. It's insane. It's ludicrous. And people don't see that. They're just not seeing that. And then when you bring it up, you're the one that's sort of out of place. And this shit that they were saying at the time, how many times have you heard this?
00:45:42
Speaker
Until everybody is safe. Nobody is safe. Fuck yourselves and your mothers, guys. You satanic pieces of shit. I'm sorry. This stuff is just, I think we're all traumatized by it. It's irritating. It's very irritating. That point you just made goes back to what you were saying earlier about having a binary choice. It's that you're either with us or against us. You have two choices. Get boosted or you're part of the problem and you're going to be ostracized for it.
00:46:12
Speaker
And something like what we talked about on our show with you, being the uncool person, you're ostracized for these quote unquote extreme beliefs that you have that buck against the mainstream narrative. And it shouldn't be that way. When has it ever been, when in human history has it ever been not okay to question?
00:46:35
Speaker
What is going on? You see it all throughout human history, documented history, where people are questioning it. And some of those people ended up dead. Yes. So it is something you got to tiptoe around.
00:46:48
Speaker
But we even more recently, you know, take the 90s and the early 2000s, where it wasn't this political divisiveness in the States like it is now, where it's like, if you're Republican, that automatically makes you a Trumper. I can't associate with you. If you're against the Vax, you're a Trumper. I can't associate with you.
00:47:09
Speaker
And if you're not on the Democratic team, then you're part of the problem with this country and the way it's going. If you're not supporting this bullshit agenda, then you're part of the problem. It's so divided now because people have no communication skills anymore.
00:47:28
Speaker
And they take everything so personal. You can't even be middle of the road now. I'm unaffiliated. They're like, OK, well, you're an alt-right extremist. It's like, OK. That's how it is, basically. You get categorized into these binary categories. Both sides say it. You want to be part of the on the wrong side of history or the right side of history. Make your choice. And it's like, OK, both of you are saying it. Both of you have
00:47:55
Speaker
You know, decent outlooks on where the country should go, but also you have a lot of shitty outlooks on where the country could go. Why can't we find that middle ground? It's not that hard and to respect somebody's opinion.
00:48:08
Speaker
is not that hard. It doesn't take much effort. Listen to their opinion. If you disagree, then just say, I kindly disagree and let it be that it doesn't have to be. I'm unfriending you on Facebook. I'm blocking you. I'm blocking your number. Don't contact me again because that's how it's become. And this cancel culture bullshit has gone so much further than just, you know, canceling celebrities. People are canceling their family members because they don't,
00:48:38
Speaker
They don't believe that this trans agenda narrative that's being pushed is right. You shouldn't be pushing this on children. And I can kind of tie this back into part of the problem with teaching. Uh, but if you don't support this, then I'm blocking you. Uh, Oh, you don't agree with it. Whatever. Don't talk to me anymore. But the, with the, with the whole trans agenda narrative in school, they wanted to start implementing curriculum to
00:49:07
Speaker
teach children as early as preschool about trans, what trans is, you know, how their relationships work, how a heterosexual relationship works, how a homosexual relationship works. They wanted to teach sex ed to preschoolers. And it's not like
00:49:25
Speaker
Because I would always bring up the point of okay, well, if you want to teach sex ed like consent type of thing, sharing is where you start with that. That's okay. Sharing or touch like high five or a hug like ask permission if they say no, don't get mad don't get upset.
00:49:43
Speaker
Just leave it be. Just say, it's okay. They just don't want to hug today. They don't want to high five today. They don't want to share their toy today. Maybe tomorrow. Drag again tomorrow. Ask again tomorrow. But if it was that, I'd be totally fine with it. But the sex ed they want to teach is in-depth. It's literally telling you how to have sex. Two preschoolers. I have such an issue with that. It's like you, and there's people in my class that are like, yeah, rah, rah, rah. This is great.
00:50:13
Speaker
Then I just look at him like, are you fucking insane? You want to teach a preschooler who doesn't give a shit whether he gets called a boy or a girl or she gets called a boy or a girl. It's not even about that. They want to play. They want to fit in. They want to have fun. They want to have friends.
00:50:31
Speaker
An example I would always bring up is like a little boy comes home from school one day, says, mommy, daddy, can I wear a sparkly dress tomorrow that has nothing to do with them wanting to be transgender, that has everything to do with them seeing the little girl in preschool that had a sparkly dress and everybody was giving her attention. Oh my gosh, it's so pretty. Where did you get it? This and that. It has nothing to do with, they want to be a girl. They want that attention. They want to fit in.
00:51:02
Speaker
And that's as simple as that. They don't care if they're a boy or a girl. We don't need to be pushing this on children that young. When you're 18, make a decision. But up until that point, I don't know what to tell you. It's not something your mind has developed enough to make a major life changing decision about.
00:51:25
Speaker
So yeah, I get, I get fired up about that. Are you kidding me? Like this, this shit is just, it's not okay on so many levels, bro. Like I don't, I don't know what's, what's wrong with parents. Um, why they're not up in arms in the States, man, in California and whatnot. I don't know what's wrong with parents, man.
00:51:45
Speaker
Yeah, that's a huge part of it too is the parents being docile for it and it's partially their fault. It's partially society's fault because they see what's going on. They see the cancel culture. They see that people are getting fired at hell.
00:52:02
Speaker
My fiance just told me on the way to breakfast today that this guy that we both know, he's worked at Walmart for however many damn years, and he was in the break room talking about how bullshit the trans agenda was. They fired him. Whoa. So that, like I said, it's partially the parents' fault for not taking a stand, but it's partially society's fault for putting that fear into their head of, oh my God, I could lose my job, I could lose my livelihood, I gotta provide. Like, what am I supposed to do?
00:52:31
Speaker
It's like look at day shapelle and whoever else got cancelled again i don't follow these things. You know but even i heard about that so it's that's the step wise fashion of create some. You know big in the media in still fear.
00:52:49
Speaker
And now people with self-sensor, people control each other. And I believe most people are not okay with it, but they're just, again, docile, afraid of getting fired, canceled, ostracized, or labeled.
00:53:10
Speaker
a hate monger or like some type of transfer. Dude, I just can the app to create graphics and stuff. They offered me a free month, so I availed of the free month. So I just exploring the app and I saw
00:53:31
Speaker
They have the ability to create a social media calendar. So I'm like, let me see, maybe this could help me like plan my shit. I need some help planning all my stuff. I'm going to have four podcasts soon. So I look at the calendar and it has like, you know, your basic dates.
00:53:46
Speaker
Independence Day and apparently a day of awareness about transphobia and stuff like that. Now that's a fucking day. I think this month or next week or like that's a day now because it's such a big issue that people are transphobic and homophobic and binary phobic. And is it, are we?
00:54:11
Speaker
are people that I don't think they are, but people were against the sick shit that, you know, tranny story time. And, you know, these guys swinging their fucking balls around in schools that people are not okay with that. And not at all for very good reasons. Yeah. Yeah. It's synchronistic. You bring that up. Cause that was one topic we talked about last night as well is how
00:54:40
Speaker
So we did an episode about birthdays and how they might be satanic. If your listeners find us, if they want to subscribe to the Patreon, it'll be on there tomorrow. But how selfish a birthday is, but it turned into like,
Social Media's Impact on Identity and Values
00:54:56
Speaker
how people want to celebrate birthday months now. And then we got into, obviously, that transitioned into how there's months. Birthday year. Birthday year, honey. But the transition into how there's months dedicated to, okay, we got Women's Month, we got Black History Month, we got- Autism Awareness. Autism Awareness Month, we got LGBTQ Month. Yeah.
00:55:23
Speaker
who in their right mind is so egotistical and narcissistic that you need a whole month dedicated to you. You know, an example I brought up to Dan last night is like, there's no, there's no Jewish month. There's no, you know, Hinduism month, but these are somewhat minority populations. Why don't they, why don't they get a month? They, they had traumatic events happen in history. We don't see them crying about not getting a month.
00:55:53
Speaker
Yeah. So it's just one of those things where it's, you know, you, you look at it, it's like, how are you so egotistical that you want a whole month dedicated to yourself or a whole day? Like, how about you just act like everybody else and just go about your day and not think about yourself and think about, you know, the betterment of humanity, be a better person instead of it's all about me. It's all about me, me, me, me, me. And I,
00:56:21
Speaker
I tell this story, I'll tell it on here. This will be the first time it's publicly being told, but there was a kid growing up, met him in middle school, went to high school with him, but everybody knew, you know, he was either gay or something was going on, but he never admitted it, never, you know, until about senior year of high school.
00:56:51
Speaker
But he confronted me one time. He said, you just hate me because I'm gay. And I was like, whoa, dude. Whoa, that is a huge accusation to claim. He's like, no, it's not. You're so mean to me. You're so rude to me because I'm gay. And I'm like, that is not even close to what the truth is. I don't like you because you're fucking annoying.
00:57:14
Speaker
Because you're a plonker. Because you're so over the top about everything. I mean, we're in a small room here and you're screaming at the top of your lungs at me. You're fucking annoying. That's why I hate you. And it like took him back and he was like, whoa.
00:57:32
Speaker
Like that didn't work. Usually that breaks people down. And it's the same with like the black mentality. Like you're saying that because I'm black or you're saying that because I'm trans. Anything like that. It's just a victim mentality that people need to break away from because it prevents so many opportunities and experiences in your life. But yeah, I mean, like I said, I tell that story because it is a powerful thing where, you know, you confront them with their own bullshit.
00:57:59
Speaker
And it takes them back because it, no, I'd never hated him because he was gay. I don't, I don't hate anybody cause they're gay or trans or whatever. But if you're out there promoting your agenda, pushing it down people's throats, declaring that they're going to be canceled or sued or this or that, if you mispronoun me, or if you call me the wrong name or, or whatever the case may be, it's, it's just this victim mentality to, uh, to basically go on a power trip. Yeah.
00:58:28
Speaker
Um, like the, the videos I talked to Dan about this last night too, the videos of black people going around and basically saying, well, you deserve reparations for slavery. So you will kneel before me and like recording the people kneeling before him. And it's like, why you are a slave. Your dad wasn't a slave. Your mom wasn't a slave. Yes, there is oppression going on and it's, it sucks. But the media makes it.
00:58:54
Speaker
The media amplifies all of these issues to make it seem like it's around every single corner that every white person is a racist. Every Christian is a transphobe or a homophobe or anything like that when it's all these extremist
00:59:11
Speaker
that are putting a bad light on the rest of the population of whatever group it is. That sucks. And in actuality, most people don't care. Exactly. It's not that fucking interesting, guys. It's like, I am a painter. Nobody cares. I am a poet. I wrote a book. It's like, nobody cares. Everybody's obsessed with their concerns, their family, their thing. Okay, whatever. So you like to like,
00:59:37
Speaker
You know, stick a butt plug up your ass and sing along. I want to break free with Queen or whatever. Yes, we, whatever. Like we all do weird stuff and have fun hobbies like that or whatever else. So nobody, oh, no, not like that. Exactly.
00:59:54
Speaker
But it's like people, you're right. And again, I'm not blaming individuals. I'm kind of pointing the finger at the social engineering aspect of it. We are, look at, dude.
01:00:10
Speaker
For what reason does a smartphone have two cameras? Yes, the manufacturers were so interested in you having the ability to talk to people and take photos, or is it to surveil you from the front, from the back, and to turn you into a narcissist where you're constantly looking at yourself and other selfies.
01:00:38
Speaker
you know Instagram and all the social media that's about you so it's like your little space to like spew spew this is me this is me love me love me world and you know it does create i when i was using so i haven't been on facebook in like two years when i was using social media like you your entire uh mind is required where you're like thinking
01:01:01
Speaker
What can I post today? What should I post? Like could this be a poster? Oh, my dog is so cute. Now, maybe I take a picture of my dog. People will like my picture more because nobody gives a shit about dudes on social media. And like you have to do like with your baby or like with a cute animal, your dog or you're doing something stupid. You know what I mean? It just changes who you are. You know what I mean? It's like like there's very subtle little
01:01:30
Speaker
changes that happen that people are because it's like a very slow progression you know one day you're on facebook you know next you got the app next you're like take one selfie then it progresses then you're like posting three four times a day and like your thoughts like you think your thoughts are so important or your humoristic take on
01:01:50
Speaker
America's got talent or Eurovision or whatever dude like at the end of the day people just post about themselves they only care how many likes they get and yes they click other people's so if I like yours you like mine like there's the dynamics of that I mean I'm maybe I'm simplifying it too much but it does change who you are it does
01:02:11
Speaker
People that have the tendency will become self-absorbed and narcissistic. Yeah, for sure. And that circle back to my point of just act normal. Don't be that person that's just out there constantly like, look at me, look at me, look at me. And that's what's annoying about
01:02:33
Speaker
certain groups of people is like it's being promoted to be that way. Who cares? Go live your life. Who gives a shit what other people think? You don't have to tell me your whole life on social media. I don't give a shit. Most of the other people don't either. Circling back to that story I told earlier,
01:03:00
Speaker
This certain individual is now trans and is this, I don't even know what the job title is. I have no clue. But there was a big controversy that got her a lot of attention to go on podcasts and, you know, talking about she had hooked up with this famous rapper.
01:03:25
Speaker
Are you talking about Lila? Yeah. Okay. I know who that is. Hooked up with this famous rapper, Kevin Gates, and telling this whole story on a podcast and it just sounding absolutely insane. I don't even believe the story. I think it's completely fabricated to get the attention, but I equated it to a similar situation like the Kardashians where Sam Tripoli always says the quote, people don't understand the difference between fame and infamy.
01:03:54
Speaker
There's a huge, huge difference, but what is going on with the Kardashians is infamy. They're famous because of infamy because they do dumb shit constantly. They say dumb shit constantly. Their life is just full of dumb decisions that put them back into the media. That's the same thing with this individual I'm speaking about is in this podcast interview, she was like, oh, all my fans back in Iowa, they'll probably never believe this.
01:04:22
Speaker
Take a step back. These aren't fans. These are people following your life to make themselves feel better. Same situations with the Kardashians, where it's like, look how dumb they are. At least I'm not that dumb. Bro, do you really think that girls watch the Kardashians for that reason? I don't know. Yeah, I don't know anything. Maybe you might or I might be like, oh, Jesus Christ, I just lost a million brain cells. But I'm still like, if I lose a billion,
01:04:52
Speaker
10 times over every day for the next 10 years, I still won't be that dumb. But I don't think, bro, and I've got nothing. I guess I'm not coming from a place of judgment, but my sister, when we're like teenagers and shit, or even like in our 20s, she would watch that shit. I'm like, what the fuck are you doing? I was like, what the fuck are you doing? You know, like, why? What did you see? Like, I remember because I'd be there exposed to it. That's why I'm like a bit wonky in the head. You know, I probably probably did some serious brain damage that I'm never going to recover from.
01:05:22
Speaker
I don't think I have any brain damage, damage, damage, damage. I'm just kidding. But it's like, why? And when you talk about watching something, you're in a beta state, and I noticed girls that watch the Kardashians, they start talking like that.
01:05:41
Speaker
And they start like, do they start literally like selling the inflection point? And I don't know how they talk. I don't remember it now, but it's like, and like, whatever, you know, like they start talking like that, dude. It's literally you are modeling, you are mimicking like, like the worst of the worst of what our society has become. Like the, the, what's the word, the archetype of the decay.
01:06:07
Speaker
of our fucking society. We are idolizing that and not us, but the aggregate or like the average person. It's not okay, man. Yeah, for sure. I mean, look at all of our quote unquote heroes here in the United States. It's all these big name celebrities that
01:06:30
Speaker
are pieces of shit behind closed doors. I mean, all this stuff coming out, they're a pedophile, they were caught up in sex trafficking, or scandal, or whatever the case may be, we're idolizing these people. And it's very sad because we, what episode did I bring this up in? Where, you know, we shouldn't be idolizing these people. It might've been with Tommy Chong.
01:06:56
Speaker
Uh, we shouldn't, we shouldn't be idolizing these celebrities for being famous. We should be idolizing them for their actions. Like if they're a good person, a humanitarian person, and you know that for a fact, then by all means, you know, idolize them. Like that's my role model.
01:07:14
Speaker
Yeah, for example, Leonardo DiCaprio, he's doing some amazing work with global climate change. That guy's awesome, right? Guys? You still there, guys? Nope, click hang up. Goodbye. But no, we should be taking a look more locally.
01:07:35
Speaker
You know, oh, my neighbor across the street, every Sunday he's at the soup kitchen helping out the homeless. My pastor at church, he helps troubled youth.
01:07:51
Speaker
get out of their home life for a couple days, takes them to like a retreat or whatever and teaches them, hey, life isn't always this bad. If you work hard enough, you can get out of this. You need to have a positive mentality about it. Those are the people we should be idolizing.
01:08:09
Speaker
regarding as heroes, because those are the true heroes. It's not Leo, it's not Matt Damon, it's not Brad Pitt, any of these people, I mean, it's, we idolize these people without even knowing them. And so we need to take a look more locally. And it's something that in elementary, they do pretty well as like, who's your hero? And most of the time, the kids heroes are their parents. Now, where does that get lost?
01:08:38
Speaker
Because as growing up, you're like, man, these people are doing everything for me. I love them so much. And where does that get lost along the way? I remember, uh, for wrestling, they made like a little booklet and we put like our hero or whatever. And my hero, this was before the whole thing happened. My hero was Bill Cosby. Yeah. Yeah.
01:09:05
Speaker
But it's something that's so, it could be so simple if people just took a step back and thought about it. And a lot of these problems that we're facing could be so simplistic, but people refuse or don't know to take a step back and look at it from a different perspective and be like, that's fucked up. We need to stop doing that. We need to change it, change how we go about it, change how we perceive it.
01:09:32
Speaker
but they don't. I mean, I don't know if it's the lack of time, the lack of knowledge, the lack of awareness about it. There could be a myriad of variables that go into that, but something needs to click at some point for society to
01:09:49
Speaker
reverse this decline that we're on. Because right now, I think, you know, it was a steady decline. And with the way things have been going since the pandemic, I think we're on an exponential decline now, because it was kind of just steady, steady going down, but now with the monetary system taking a shit.
01:10:14
Speaker
All the agendas being pushed, all the catering to minority populations, the rewriting of history, the rewriting of definitions of words and certain things, the devolving that we're doing because of technology.
01:10:30
Speaker
It's put us on an exponential decline and if something doesn't click soon, I mean it we talked about With you last time how we're headed towards a split and it's going to be mainstream dystopian society and the
01:10:45
Speaker
uncool people that believed all these crazy wild outlandish things that challenge the mainstream narrative. And I know what camp I want to be in. I definitely don't want to be in dystopian mainstream society because it's sure as shit scary. It is very scary.
01:11:05
Speaker
it is indeed. Yeah, it's like, like I said, when I was on your show, I, I don't even dare think about it anymore, where this, if you look at the trends and not just the decay of society, which is probably what this episode will be called. But also, if you look at disease rates, dude, like,
01:11:31
Speaker
I think two or three, two or three years ago, the was the first year in a very long time that where the life expectancy of a child being born in the USA is lower than his parents. So, you know, that is that means what that means. If you just look at that specific statistic in isolation is that we've reached the peak
01:12:01
Speaker
And you know, it's like when you look at any sort of chart equities or whatever else, there's a peak and then there's a, you know, there's a, that was the bull run and then there's an extended bear market. So with, you know, ups and downs during as well and fake bull runs and all that stuff. So if that was the peak, you know, what?
01:12:29
Speaker
What would a decline look like and how long would that take to play out? It's like when they say the Roman Empire, it wasn't like an isolated event that you could say, oh, the Roman Empire has collapsed.
Societal Awakening and Community Resilience
01:12:45
Speaker
It was something that happened over like, I don't know, like 100, 200 years, and then
01:12:53
Speaker
historians or whatever else, scholars would look back and say, oh, well, that doesn't exist anymore. There is no empire. There's all these separate factions now, new states, new empires, whatever else. So it looks like, I mean,
01:13:10
Speaker
I don't know. I think we all or a lot of us expect that it's gonna get really bad and then people will wake up and then we're gonna be fine, pick up the pieces, start off again. I am not so sure. What do you think? I'm on the same page as you. I don't think people... It's such a pessimistic outlook on it, but I don't...
01:13:39
Speaker
I don't see a majority of the population waking up enough to actually implement the changes that are needed. Like I said, I think it's going to be a split and it's going to be you. You're in your community and either you're in this little community of people that are trying to get back to more naturalistic practices and practical skills, practical life skills, things like that, better morals.
01:14:08
Speaker
If you're in that community, you're going to be ostracized from society. So you better have a self-sustaining community. Otherwise, you're not getting any help from the mainstream dystopian society that's inevitable to come. I mean, these 15-minute cities, it's going to be 15-minute cities. They got everything they need in there. And then on the outsides, we're going to be looked at as, I don't know, like the Amish.
01:14:33
Speaker
Yeah, but even worse, I think we're going to be put in such a bad light. It's going to be, it's going to be, look at that cult over there. Same thing with what happened at Waco in Waco, Texas. I mean these, there's so many.
01:14:49
Speaker
documentaries and series out right now, painting the people of Waco in such a bad light. And that's not the case at all. When you dig deep into what Waco was and what their society or their little community wanted to do, be self-sustaining, teach better morals, educate their own children, and have
01:15:07
Speaker
true sovereignty outside of the system. And that that last point there true sovereignty outside of the system is what got them killed. I mean, that was a massacre what happened at Waco. And all these docs and series now are painting those people in such a bad light. That's not that wasn't the case at all. They just wanted to be left alone, basically. But we're going to be painted in a similar light as in these little communities where
01:15:33
Speaker
Look at that cult over there. They're doing some weird stuff. They're Satanists. They're this, they're that. Why aren't they living in these cities? We have everything we need. My job's right down the street. The grocery store's right next door. The gas station's right over here. Actually, no gas station's even. We don't even need cars. We got everything we need right here. It's very scary and it's very pessimistic to say, but I don't see a majority of the population waking up enough.
01:16:02
Speaker
for everybody to change. Let's put ourselves in Brandon Thomas's shoes. How would we alchemize this so we flip the script? We just put it out there right now. We're manifesting it right now that the majority of the population will wake up enough to create these changes and alchemize these changes in society for the betterment of humanity as a whole.
01:16:30
Speaker
Now you're just talking crazy, bro. It's something to think about. I feel like
01:16:44
Speaker
It's like what I said when I was on your show about the white or the clear pill. It's it is what it is, you know, like we like to people, people live through the Second World War, you know, my grandparents and.
01:17:00
Speaker
There's bombs falling near where they lived and stuff. And my wife's one of her granddads, I think he died in the Second World War. And I think another one escaped. And had he not escaped, he would have been sent off to the work camps there in some part of the Soviet Union and stuff.
01:17:28
Speaker
People survive that shit, man, you know? It's like, yes, there's a lot of trauma that's associated with it that we have to... I think one thing that we need to learn as parents is...
01:17:46
Speaker
leaders as well for our family unit or in our communities is learning about tools with which to manage and deal with trauma. Things like even just simple emotional freedom technique with tapping on the meridians and stuff, just teaching our kids how to manage stress and teaching ourselves and our loved ones how to reframe things as well. I remember
01:18:14
Speaker
One thing about my dad, for example, is he would always flip things in a sort of optimistic way. I think some of that rubbed off on me, I hope. It's like I remember one time where he was driving the car and another car, just their side mirrors hit and his one got shattered into a bunch of pieces. And he just like cursed at the guy.
01:18:44
Speaker
Carried on driving without saying anything and then like a minute later. He's like now I can see like 200 different angles. It's like, you know, like a fly's eye or a bee's eye. You can see like a hundred different ways now. I remember that of being in the car. I was like, okay, well, nice. Good for you. He didn't get that mirror fixed until he sold the car either. He's like, fuck that. No, I'm not. It's all good.
01:19:08
Speaker
There's nothing to fix here, you know? But yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Actually, one question, and we could probably discuss this next week for the Children's Health Podcast when you're on, guys. But are you going to homeschool your kids? Because here in Portugal, it's very complex. You have to have a degree, like a college degree, and you have to follow their bullshit curriculum, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of homeschooling. So what's your plan? My son will be homeschooled, yeah.
01:19:38
Speaker
me, not yet. My son will be in kindergarten this coming up year or this year coming up.
Homeschooling and Public School Safety
01:19:44
Speaker
I'm just going to see how it is. We know the principal of his elementary school he'll be going to, and he's a pretty solid guy. So we'll just kind of see how it's going. I'm not afraid to pull him out though, but I feel like I'd have to get on the same page with, I mean, my wife's kind of on the same page, but I don't want to
01:20:00
Speaker
put too much on her, you know, so well, I mean, that's a huge point of creating the conscious parenting group is to divvy up the workload. It's like, all right, this summer, you study this math book, and we're gonna you're gonna teach that. And then you study this reading and writing skills book, you teach that. So hopefully, by the end of the conscious parenting group, it's like,
01:20:28
Speaker
Nobody is in charge of more than one thing. It's like you become an expert on this and you're teaching this. You have our little community in your hands for the math portion. You have our, you over here have the reading portion. So it, it, ideally that's how it would be where we're not stressed about trying to learn all the curriculum.
01:20:52
Speaker
trying, you know, panicking because we're not experts on it. It's just like you study one thing and then teach it.
01:21:00
Speaker
Did you get my message on Telegram, by the way? I messaged you. I checked, hold on. That was like last week. But anyway, there's at least one Telegram group that I saw where they have hundreds and hundreds of books on schooling resources from elementary all the way to whatever, K-12. So I have to make sure I've added you properly.
01:21:28
Speaker
I'll try to find that group there's like a ton of resources i'm sure that you know. It'll be useful to share that in the group of people can pick you know peruse them see if the if any are valuable more specifically and that those resources can be uploaded somewhere like a drop box for people to share and what not. Yeah yeah i did i did get your message so i got your contact added i gotta turn on notifications for telegram.
01:21:54
Speaker
I'm going to try to find that group and there's a lot of, I download a crap load of those somewhere on maybe this computer or another, but yeah, there's a lot of, like dude, if I had the chance, like my wife is not, when I first kind of, and we could talk more about this on the Children's Health Podcast, but it's important because I think a lot of people, they tell you, like I used to always say I've gone to homeschool my kids before I had kids, before I had a kid.
01:22:21
Speaker
And people are like, well, you see, you see when you have a kid. I just hate this normie BS, dude. It's like, you see when you have a kid. Well, my kid still hasn't tasted sugar. Still hasn't tasted sugar. That's awesome. Still has not.
01:22:37
Speaker
being like she has not watched almost well alright maybe she has watched like a few minutes of something on a phone right but she's not watched like a 20 minute thing on a phone she's eaten pretty much only organic certified organic food you know she's almost not had any sunflower oil any poof us almost like maybe a few chips here and there that she just you know wouldn't let go and I had to give her some to you know diffuse the situation
01:23:07
Speaker
But it's like, no, no, you will not see, I will not see, I will create what I want, man. And it was the same, sorry, I just got to get a little bit fired up about these things. But yeah, so when I kind of mentioned to my wife first, I'm going to homeschool the kids before we even had kids. She's like, no, you know, you know, you're not.
01:23:32
Speaker
And she just went off the deep end about it to kind of stand her ground. Like that's your position and my position is the exact polar opposite. So since kind of the last couple of years, since she got pregnant, I just started buying books on all sorts of things. I can have maybe six, seven or eight books on the learning process, play as learning, homeschooling, unschooling and so on.
01:23:58
Speaker
And she actually read one of them. She's like, this is brilliant. This book is brilliant. I think it was Peter Gray. It's called Free to Learn the Book. And she read that book. I still haven't read the book. She's like, this is really awesome, like about how kids learn from play.
01:24:13
Speaker
And she's warming up to it then obviously the cold with stuff that happened and people telling us about even like her you know her her own sister's kids my sister's kids you know the the the mask stop in schools and just.
01:24:30
Speaker
just the whole thing was just and so she's warming up to it but i have this massive challenge now that you know the government here is retard level 9 over 9 000 you know so yeah um i don't know what i'm gonna do but you know there's some time till then you know i can i can always just you know move country for god's sake right if that's an option yeah i mean
01:24:55
Speaker
There's times I've thought about that, where it's like, I want to go somewhere where I can find just a cheap plot of land and just be left alone. But yeah, I mean, here, I guess, it's kind of a blessing in disguise with the school shootings that continuously happen.
01:25:18
Speaker
whether you believe they're as is or a false flag, what, however you look at it, it's beside the point I'm trying to make is, like I said, it's somewhat of a blessing in disguise because it's not forcing people, but really making people think about putting their kids in public school. And this is even to normies. I mean, uh, my fiance's sisters are both,
01:25:44
Speaker
I mean, they know some stuff, but they're pretty asleep to most of what is going on. But that's something that they're like, holy shit, I don't even want my kids going to public school anymore. I don't want them to get shot. So that's something that, like I said, it's somewhat of a blessing in disguise because it's even forcing normies to think about it and be like, ah, I don't know if I want them in public school anymore.
01:26:10
Speaker
And so it's making them lean more towards the homeschooling process and trying to figure that out, how, what that entails and how they're going to go about that. So even, even friends and family, you know, um, there's my fiance is one of her best friends has a kid and another one. Uh, so they're, I mean, they're thinking really hard about.
01:26:36
Speaker
not even putting them in public school just because it's too dangerous, first
Environmental Concerns and Local Testing
01:26:42
Speaker
of all. And then they start looking into more things and they're like, damn, the curriculum kind of sucks. Oh, actually something I wanted to ask, we touched on it last time we spoke, but
01:26:55
Speaker
Tell me more about, so you said your area is a tester area for Frito-Lay, right? Frito-Lay. Tell me more about that. I'd love to understand this a little. What the hell is going on there?
01:27:12
Speaker
Like, you know, a little bit more. I mean, there's, I don't know why or is, but they just free to lay tests. Um, and they have since I can remember just new, new flavors of chips, um, every year or so. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I thought it was pretty sweet when I was younger.
01:27:38
Speaker
You get to do you know a dorito that nobody else has except for in our area and a few other ones Um, but yeah, I don't it's weird. It's a weird thing but Yeah, so we kind of brought up the point last time of Okay, if there if we're a test area for chips, for example, you know, how far does that test area? Um Idea branch out. Yeah, you know, what else are we a test area for I know
01:28:08
Speaker
I know, so we're a test area for the chips and I know we're also a test area for new agricultural types of things. So different methods of harvesting on the tractors because John Deere is a huge thing around here. I mean, there's a bunch of different plants, obviously all over Iowa, there's a bunch of different plants. But not only that.
01:28:33
Speaker
this I'm not as sure about, but I'm almost positive that we are also a test area for new pesticides, new herbicides. So that kind of entails the whole agricultural thing where it's like these companies around here are spraying the food we're getting with these new test chemicals or whatever. So yeah, we're, I mean, we're getting
01:28:57
Speaker
new chemicals with the chip flavors, however, they're concocting those flavors, and then new agricultural testing site as well. Jesus Christ. And then this this is speculating way out there. But then, you know, just knowing those couple of things there, I speculate that we are also a test area for different sorts of chemtrails.
01:29:23
Speaker
because our skies are pretty open. Um, if you've ever flown over the Midwest, it's, it looks like a grid because of all the fields. So you got corn fields, soy field, you know, whatever else you're growing, it's all gritted out and there's just a bunch of squares across it. Skies are pretty open and I notice a lot how much they're spraying and it's all different directions. Uh, the cloud formations are most of the time similar, but there's some different ones.
01:29:53
Speaker
So like I said, this is just speculation, but I almost wonder if they're testing different chemtrails and concoctions of chemicals for that to not only see how it affects the population from breathing it in or absorbing into the skin, but also it's getting on our food. Uh, we're a big agricultural hub for the United States. Um, what's this that like?
01:30:14
Speaker
90% of the corn in the United States has grown in the Midwest and more specifically Iowa grows a shit ton of it. So it is something that makes me really wonder. Yeah, GMO corn for sure.
01:30:32
Speaker
It just really makes me wonder what, how far does that, you know, like I said, idea of testing or test area branch out to what else is there. And another thing too, as I mentioned before, when you ask where we're located, we're right on the Mississippi river. So what do they do into the water?
01:30:53
Speaker
Who knows? Pat Militich, one of our good friends, podcasting friend and, you know, coach in the past, MMA type of stuff. He talked about how they tested Bettendorf. So the city we're in right now, how they tested the water, the Iowa American Water Company tested it. And it was what?
01:31:17
Speaker
I don't know. He just said that like they shouldn't be talking about Flint, Michigan. They should be talking about. Yeah. So I think he said there was like 12 or 13 heavy metals. Well, no, just toxic chemicals of some sort, whether it's a carcinogen or like a poison, whatever it is, there's like 12 or 13 of them that are 40% above the quote unquote safe amount in the water.
01:31:43
Speaker
Fuck, bro. So that's our local municipal water system that is just outrageously toxic and people are drinking right out of the tap. And what are you guys doing for your water filtration? I have a filter that is on the faucet itself and I turn that filter on and then I put it into a jug filter.
01:32:09
Speaker
Okay. I'm saving up for, I'm saving up, but also waiting till I buy my house. So we're in the process of buying a house. Okay. Until I get like a reverse osmosis under the sink. Yeah. A couple hundred bucks, bro. What an investment. I got one, two, three months. Uh, can you just in the chat here, type in your zip code for me.
01:32:36
Speaker
You know the EWG org they have this You can put in your zip code and then let's stick that in here Okay So there is
01:32:58
Speaker
Let's see. Is Eldridge close to you? Yeah. So six contaminants detected. Arsenic 1375 times 1375 X the legal limit. So the legal limit
01:33:22
Speaker
Or is that 1.37? It's a comma, so sometimes a comma means a dot. Oh, I mean, is this a website based in the state?
01:33:33
Speaker
Yeah, so it's ewg.org. Yes, so the comma in the states would mean a thousand. Okay, so the utility has 5.5 parts per billion. Okay, so 5.5 parts per billion for arsenic is what the water is tested for.
01:33:55
Speaker
The EWG health guideline is 0.004 parts per billion. But the legal limit is 10 parts per billion. So you're under the legal limit. But the EWG recommends a much lower limit. Now chloroform, there is no legal limit for that. You're 21x higher. So 0.4 parts per billion.
01:34:23
Speaker
is the EWG health guideline and your 8.48 parts per billion. Haloacetic acid, 77X, dichloroacetic acid, potential effects cancer, 30X, total trihalomethanes, 57X, trichloroacetic acid,
01:34:42
Speaker
And, you know, every county, so you have Iowa American Water Company, Davenport, you got Walcott Waterworks. You can go in there, you know, but what I would say is, bro, like after installing my reverse osmosis system, I tested the water. I have a water quality tester and my water went from, so the EPA, it's labeled with the American standard, the EPA
01:35:07
Speaker
The EPA standard is if it's over 500 parts per billion it's not considered safe by the EPA. My water was testing here almost 480.
01:35:19
Speaker
parts per million, I think it was. So just 20 points, 20 parts per million under the EPA's guideline for bad. When I installed the reverse osmosis system, it went down to 20 parts per billion. But I was a little bit unimpressed because when I was using a water distiller, like a countertop one,
01:35:42
Speaker
I could get the water down as low as six, seven parts per million. I think parts per million, not per billion. To be honest, I can't remember. It's over there, but too lazy to get it. So anyway, after installing this reverse osmosis system, I realized that it's very
01:35:58
Speaker
You just drill two holes under the sink to you know hook up the filters the rest is very much you can just you know it's portable so what i would say bro like friend to friend advice both of you i
Reducing Chemical Exposure at Home
01:36:15
Speaker
would.
01:36:15
Speaker
whatever you were investing in, I would divert those funds for the RO system as a matter of priority. And I advise this to everyone that I talk to, you know, of course. But because, like, you could put in, put in, like, for my
01:36:35
Speaker
My detox workshop course that I'll talk to you after about, I'm going to share that with you guys. But I just did a random, it was some county in LA or in California. And dude, just you click on any county and you will always find something, dude.
01:36:52
Speaker
Although, okay, I should take that back because I just clicked on one random hickory heels subdivision one zero contaminants detected. So anyway, the big ones, the big ones are bad. Like if you, if you look at something that serves over a hundred thousand people or 5,000 people, you know, you will see, you will see always some contaminants detected, you know, because some of these like are serving a hundred freaking people, 200 people. So.
01:37:19
Speaker
You know it's probably a very small network and you know less chance of you know crap getting in the supply and stuff break it up anyway. Yeah yeah well let's let's get gross with the conversation a little bit what people don't think about is how.
01:37:39
Speaker
your piss and your shit is contaminated with all these chemicals that you're ingesting, whether it's the drinks you're drinking or the food you're eating, all of that can't be processed by your body. And some of it stays in your body and toxifying yourself, but some of it definitely just goes right through. So you're pissing out your prescription pills and whatever is in those, and that's going into the water supply. Whatever food you're eating, all those chemicals you're
01:38:09
Speaker
You're pooping that back out and it, that's contaminating the water supply and the way that they are, you know, creating these guidelines for how quote unquote safe the water is, is by pumping more chemicals into it to try and counteract those chemicals. It's, it's the same concept as a pharmaceutical system where it's like, here's this pill. Oh, you got a side effect from that. Here's another pill. It's the same with the water supply because it's like you have all these chemicals in there.
01:38:38
Speaker
that are going through our bodies and coming back out. Um, and it's just a recycling system like that. But the way that they try and make it safe is pumping more chemicals in it. Uh, you know, like clown, same, same as like a, a chlorine pool. Yeah. Hey, you're getting all these different chemicals in it.
01:38:59
Speaker
from swimming in it and the air, what's being sprayed in the air, what travels through the wind from this factory or that factory and you're trying to eliminate those other toxins with a super toxin.
01:39:16
Speaker
that is horrible for you. I mean, chlorine is absolutely horrible for you. I hate going in chlorine pools now because the way it makes my skin feel for a couple days after, if it gets in my eyes or gets in my mouth, it makes me feel shitty inside. My eyes start to hurt. Sure. And yeah, that's one thing that I,
01:39:38
Speaker
We're probably going to have a debate about my fiance and I because I, her sister has a pool in his chlorine and I don't, I don't want my son in that, but I know I understand he's, he wants to have fun. Like he needs to have that experience, learn how to swim and everything.
01:39:53
Speaker
I don't want to put in chlorine. It's a hard one, bro. There is other ways, you know, like you can do saltwater and other stuff, but I'm just saying, dude, like I even have, you can get, even for 30, $40, you can get an inline shower filter that filters most of the chlorine. So anywhere we've lived for the past, I guess five years,
01:40:17
Speaker
Yeah, five years. I've always had a shower filter. So even when my daughter was born, we had to draw her bath. So we would bathe her in the living room. And I installed
01:40:35
Speaker
Filters there and then I just they're not designed for like a constant pressure So I had leaks and just the amount of grief I went through like with these filters Just like my baby could have chlorine free bath water at one point. I just said screw it I took the filters out and then I was carrying this I had this horrible back injury last year and I was like putting on this thing belt like you know
01:40:57
Speaker
keep my guts together and I was like going from the bathroom and carrying these big things of water so just so she could have chlorine free water to shower with you know what I mean and like any any anyone I speak to like with a young kid like they're all like not one person that I've met so far here and kind of in where we are in Portugal
01:41:20
Speaker
has ever said, oh yeah, we have a shower filter too as well. That's one thing I'm constantly talking to people about. It's another one of those little things that if you can reduce a few toxic exposures like that every day, cut it down from 50 a day to 10 a day, think of the positive effects long-term if you do that.
01:41:46
Speaker
Yeah, for sure. And I think that's something we touched on in our last conversation is you're not going to be able to do it all
Personalized Health and Positive Mindset
01:41:54
Speaker
at once. Yeah.
01:41:55
Speaker
Do what you can as you go along and then it becomes habitual so then you don't even think about these things that you've been doing for Six months now now you're on this thing and you're like you're trying to transition to this method of doing things or this way of doing things and so it's just one thing at a time whatever you can do helps tremendously because it's you know something as simple as
01:42:18
Speaker
the water filter on the sink or the water filter in the shower. You're going to notice those differences immediately. The water you drink is going to hydrate you if it's good water. That's one thing that I notice is you have a million options at the gas station of water. You pick one of them and it's almost none of them
01:42:42
Speaker
give you that hydration feeling. There's a–there's a select few that are–that are pretty decent but it's still in plastic bottles. So you're still getting toxified that way. But you notice almost immediately when you make these little changes, how drastically that one little thing or you think was a little thing affected your life. You know, the chlorine in the shower. It's, you know, it's steaming up and you're inhaling it. That's awful.
01:43:11
Speaker
Yeah, that's very awful It's very sad very sad thing but one thing at a time and yeah make progress towards whatever your goal might be whether it's detoxifying your body detoxifying your house Uh, yeah, I mean that's something too is like Cleaning chemicals. Oh, you know look look at the paint that you're using on your walls Look at the chemicals that you're spraying on your countertops. Look at the dish soap that you're washing your dishes with all those things
01:43:41
Speaker
can be so, seem so minor, but have a drastic difference on your life. I'll tell you, my neighbors, so we did this elderly French couple moved, he moved in under us. And so she was away, the lady was away in France for three weeks or whatever. So this dude, he started painting the house and he just tank up the damn building. And I was like,
01:44:08
Speaker
Jesus Christ, he's standing on my balcony and I get these horrible fumes. And like, dude, he was living there. And she came back from her whatever trip to France. And so he painted the house. And like, if I had an open, like a door to create a flow of air, kind of near the front door of the building,
01:44:34
Speaker
They wouldn't even have bothered to do that. So like my kid is going up and down the stairs, you know, like I was like running up and down, like with her, like huddled, like a football, like running. And like for weeks and weeks, the stench, uh, you could smell it for like at least four or five weeks. And dude, they were there this whole time.
01:44:58
Speaker
just living in there living inside this house and then i remember one morning um i saw they had they had left their garage door open wide open so i went up to my wife and like i think i think the solvents are starting to get to the frenchies and they're very nice people and i you know no i'm not being a dick but i was like i think the frenchies started to
01:45:19
Speaker
to get some of them solvent, you know, but they're like, he's the guy 75. He looks amazing. He speaks English well. And, and then it was the thing with the Roundup. She had like, I think she had ants in her little garden there. And she, I see these blue powders getting sprayed. I could see her this fucking
01:45:38
Speaker
spray bottle with round up. So dude, I just wonder, I was like, this fucking shit has to stop right now. I'm nipping the shit in the bud. I came here. I went on, not on Google translate. Deep D E D E P L translate depot. Uh, it's, um, I believe it's better than Google unless Google owns it anyway. Don't use Google products guys listening. Um, so I wrote them this big ass letter, a four size.
01:46:08
Speaker
and I gave them a copy of my book and I dog-eared the page on glyphosate and I went there and I wanted to nip this in the bud forevermore. So I was telling my wife, should I just leave it there, ring the bell? Should I put it in the post box? No, don't be so passive. You don't want them to misconstrue it as passive-aggressive. So I just knocked on the door and I just said, look, if she doesn't speak English, I'm just going to
01:46:33
Speaker
Le Poupou threw it, you know, je m'appelle, Claude, all that jazz. But anyway, he opened the door and I was very nice about it. And the next morning she was there with a hose, you know, rinsing off that blue crap for the ants. And anyway, so because, you know, people are just completely unaware, dude, I was even like, I wanted to write them, dude, I like these people. They're very nice.
01:46:59
Speaker
Like on Easter, they brought her little chocolate bunny and stuff. They left it by the door. Very nice folks. I even wanted to write them another fucking A4 size letter about the paint and the fumes. And look, if you need some supplement recommendations to support your antioxidant systems, you know, I can help you out. But I figure, you know, at this age, you know, you can barely get people in their 30s to grasp some of the stuff we're talking about. Never mind, you know, folks that are super set in their ways.
01:47:29
Speaker
Big time. I bring up my grandma as an example. She was listening to our podcast when we first started. I think she listened to probably 10 episodes or something. Nice. Every time I'd see her, she'd be like,
01:47:50
Speaker
Man, that's really interesting what you guys were talking about. I mean, it got me thinking, got me thinking. I can't come to grips with it because of the way I was brought up, my religious beliefs. I just can't believe in it because of that. It's like, man, you're telling me it's so interesting. It got you thinking and it's great points that we're bringing up.
01:48:16
Speaker
you're admitting that you're stuck in that indoctrination. What should that tell you? It should tell you, hey, maybe this isn't the case. If what my grandson is saying and his friend are saying is making me question my whole upbringing in this religion, why would I still follow it or follow it the way I was following it?
01:48:44
Speaker
I don't know why they can't click. That's one of my fears of getting older and being like that where evidence and facts and stuff will not change my mind, become that rigid in my thinking. That's one of my biggest fears, man. I don't see you being like that at all. Hopefully. Not at all. I feel like you've had a pretty open mind all your life and you still have an open mind. It's the same with us.
01:49:14
Speaker
Our ideas might change from this episode to the next episode. That's how you have to be, because nobody knows any truth definitively. There's no truth definitively out there. You have conversations or studies showing this, and then this person over here is having a conversation and doing a study that shows this, and it's the opposite of what this person was saying.
01:49:42
Speaker
And it's like, who's right, who's wrong? Maybe there's a middle ground. Who knows? I mean, that's one thing I learned from the health research I've done is that people have different genetics, different backgrounds, different everything, different metabolic sort of idiosyncrasies.
01:50:01
Speaker
And what works for you might not work for me. Like some people genuinely are able to thrive on a vegan diet, vegetarian diet. Other people can eat raw meat. Other people can fast, you know, once a week. Other people have to eat every three hours of their collapse. And, you know, we have to sort of just kind of accept that. I think that's one of the biggest one of the biggest sort of
01:50:27
Speaker
challenges for the ego, I suppose, is to accept people as different and that it's okay that they're different and you won't change them. And that's okay. Yeah, for sure. And that's something I brought up Tim James last time. But that's something he hits on pretty hard is trying to stray away from the
01:50:52
Speaker
standardized medical system, the generalized medical system. You know, be your own doctor. Know your body. Know what food helps you the most. Curbs your hunger the fastest and for the longest. Know what exercise is proper for your lifestyle, for your body style. Know what
01:51:13
Speaker
I don't even want to say pharmaceuticals because everybody should stay away from those. Uh, but know what supplements you need because your, your body is lacking this protein or, or this, uh, enzyme, you know, whatever the case may be, whatever you're lacking, you have to know your own body. You have to study that because it's not a one size fits all. And that's what the medical system has become is
01:51:38
Speaker
Here's your symptom list. All right. In my book, it says, this is what you have. This is the medicine to prescribe. I don't know. I shouldn't say medicine. This is the drug to prescribe. It should work for you, but that's not the case, as you were saying, and as Tim James says, and as a lot of other health experts say is like, you need to know your own body. You need to know what works.
01:52:02
Speaker
Because it's not, you know, if I eat a steak, 12 ounce steak, I might be full. If Danny eats a 12 ounce steak, he might not be full. So everybody is so individualistic that it needs to be taken into account like that. It can't be the list of symptoms or the list of whatever. And then here's your, here's your drug. It needs to be studied on a deeper basis of,
01:52:30
Speaker
having a relationship with your doctor, you know, knowing more about your body than your doctor knows because that's how it is most of the time is like your whatever's on your medical file, your doctor knows more about your body than you do because
01:52:44
Speaker
Nobody pays attention to their own body. That's something we're lacking. But it should be that, that symbiotic relationship where you know what your body does, how it reacts to this, how it reacts to that. You go into that doctor and he knows you on a person, he or she knows you on a personal level. And it's like, oh, okay, let's try like a lavender oil or something or let's try some mint for this or, you know, something like that instead of, like I said, the symptom list, drug list.
01:53:12
Speaker
Here you go. Plug and play. That's what they do. Now it's online. They're almost googling shit. I remember I had these little skin tags that my wife just started dating with my wife and she's like, go get it checked out. I'm like, Jesus Christ. I haven't been to the doctor like maybe, okay, I went to her for that to the doctor. I've been to the doctor like two, three times maybe in the last 15, 20 years.
01:53:41
Speaker
I'm that kind of guy, just don't trust the man. And I went there and she was on her computer, literally what anybody can do, dude. You can teach a monkey to just Google shit. Anyway, I got a fun anecdote to share about, I just discovered some stuff about my genetics and my wife's genetics.
01:54:07
Speaker
But it's it's a little bit of a long story. So we don't really have time today because you know baby stuff beckons So next time we talk I'll share that story with you. It's pretty interesting actually about specific genes food interactions and how
01:54:24
Speaker
They're different for me and my wife and how she has an aversion to certain foods that I have a great love for and we're always fighting about, I want more and she wants less in the meal, in the soup or the stew or whatever. Anyway, it's a long story. Guys, as we wrap up, thank you first of all for your time, guys. Love and conversations. Thank you for this.
01:54:48
Speaker
Yeah, I just want to ask you for my solution stock segment that will eventually start getting published. I promise. I keep threatening it to start getting published. We're all about that here. Wait, if people think I'm like disorganized and shit and whatever else, wait till you have like, wait, I have two more podcasts published. I have no idea what's going to happen. I won't even know. I would have never have met my guests coming on the show like, okay, hi, my name is Chris.
01:55:16
Speaker
It's going to be fun. I'm really excited about it. And you're going to be on at least one of those podcasts. So anyway, so for the Solutions Talk segment, the question is, you know, you can both tackle the question. What are you doing that others can do also to increase their freedom, self-reliance, autonomy, and or resilience to the challenges that we face this decade and beyond?
01:55:49
Speaker
Um, I think you have to not focus so much. I think we talked about this last time, focus so much on the propaganda that the media is spewing out. Um, find what works for you personally. Um, basically ignore, you know, the energy
01:56:17
Speaker
energy harvesting, like bad news, like school shootings, all that stuff. Focus on yourself. Like Brandon Thomas says, Tender Garden. Um,
01:56:26
Speaker
And you'll find, I mean, just that little thing alone will make you so much happier. And I don't know if it's necessarily like fighting the system. It's kind of, I feel like to fight the system, you have to work on yourself first, 100%. So yeah, just get your mindset positive, manifest all that. What do you think Spencer?
01:56:48
Speaker
I'd say for me, something that I've been doing is yes, like Dan is saying, pulling my attention out of certain things, putting my attention into different things and in my opinion, more important things than what the mainstream is putting out there. But a huge, huge thing for me has been figuring out my body. You know, I
01:57:17
Speaker
I figured out and it was kind of a long process but I hardly need to eat. Like my body can function and I can go about my day and do my work. I don't struggle with it. My body can function on very little food. So then I'm not, that's one thing that's hugely beneficial because I'm very conscientious of what I'm putting in my body and so I'm not having to
01:57:42
Speaker
eat and eat and eat because I'm eating empty calories. It's like I know what works for me. I eat that. I'm full for most of the day and I eat whatever else I need to eat that I've figured out.
01:57:57
Speaker
My metabolism is super high, so I'm burning off everything that I'm putting in. I'm doing physical work. I'm getting exercise, burning it off in that way. Like I said, I don't need that much to have energy to do it. The next thing I'm working on is trying to figure out how much sleep my body needs. That's a hugely beneficial thing to
01:58:23
Speaker
improving the quality of your lifestyle and your life in general, just because once you figure that out, it helps with grocery bills. So then you're saving on some money here and there. It helps with. I don't know the toxification of your body, I guess, because you're not putting it. You don't have to put in as much junk food to feel full once you figure out what works for you, what food makes you full for the longest.
01:58:54
Speaker
And then going along with that another big switch up for me was Keeping the mentality that I am happy I am healthy and I am strong Those three things run through my head every single day on a loop. I am happy. I am healthy. I am strong and With that going a little deeper. It's it's like
01:59:19
Speaker
the health part of it. I am healthy. Nothing that is out there can affect me. Maybe besides physical trauma, physical injury, things like that. But sickness
01:59:31
Speaker
No, I mean, I get a, you know, a sore throat or a stuffy nose or something. And I know exactly what it's from. It's the environment I work in. It's like I'm breathing in pretty bad shit. So I had a sore throat for a couple days this last week and it's starting to heal up because I haven't been at work. But I know exactly why it's because of that. So having that mentality, it's like I
02:00:00
Speaker
The last time I was truly sick and I didn't know why was 2018. Last year, September-ish, I started taking this detox product and it gave me- What was that, if you don't mind me asking? It's called Super Soldier. It's on Tim James' chemical free body website. Our friend, Pat Militich, he's in the group that worked on that and put that supplement out.
02:00:30
Speaker
So it's a humic fulvic acid. Okay, okay. Yeah. So it works pretty well. Interesting. It's kind of the after product of black oxygen, if you've heard of that. I have not, but I know humic and fulvic acids.
02:00:49
Speaker
Yeah. Wow. So anyway, I took that and I started taking that and it gave me quote unquote symptoms of being sick. But I know that was my body detoxing that shit out because I'm taking a detoxifier. So that was like a day or two of sweating shit out, pooping and I never threw up but like poop a bunch of stuff out, pee a bunch of stuff out, sweat a bunch of stuff out.
02:01:14
Speaker
After that, I felt wonderful. But the last time I was truly sick was, well, no, was it 2018? No, it might've been.
02:01:24
Speaker
I think it was just before COVID actually, and I didn't know what, what was going on so that might've had something to do with that. But yeah, that was the last time I was sick and I didn't understand why, but I switched my mentality to that. I'm happy. I'm healthy. I'm strong. Nothing outside of myself can affect what's inside here because it is healthy. It is strong and it is strong enough to fight whatever toxins come in. It is strong enough to fight whatever poisons or chemicals or whatever may be thrown at me. My body is strong enough to fight that.
02:01:54
Speaker
And we know the placebo effect is a very real thing and a very provable and strong thing that exists within the human psyche. And so just having those thoughts, whether it's placebo or it's actually doing something either, or it is doing something, it is having an effect and it is.
02:02:14
Speaker
presenting my body kind of, you know, tricking, I guess, if you want to put it tricking my body into saying, Oh, that I will just get rid of it and we don't need it. We're strong enough to fight it off. We'll just get rid of it. So those are the main three things for me.
02:02:31
Speaker
Love that, bro. I got sucked into what you were talking about. There was two things that came to mind that I wanted to mention, but I forgot. That's okay. No, we'll continue the conversation. Yeah, okay. This is what I wanted to maybe finish up on. For the listeners, I want to just sort of underscore that just because we talk about serious stuff and there's a lot of sad stuff,
02:03:01
Speaker
going on doesn't mean that we in our day-to-day life, we have to be like that. Hopefully, people listening, some that needed to hear it, some maybe are woken up to some certain things. Others, maybe we're preaching to the choir. Hopefully, a lot of our listeners are already aware of these things. But at least I can see for you guys, it's probably the case as well.
02:03:29
Speaker
especially from what you just said, Spencer, but in my daily life, I'm a happy, happy, positive guy. And, you know, there's a lot of joy, a lot of cracking jokes, and stuff like that. So we just because we're covering heavy topics, you know, doesn't, you know, we cannot, we cannot be such weak minded children.
02:03:52
Speaker
like that to recoil at anything that is a little bit ooh it's lowering my vibration you know it's oh what the fuck is this new age garbage you have to you have to embody the the the light in the dark the yin and the yang
02:04:10
Speaker
you know the positive the negative that is what a full whole human being is supposed to embody so let's just grow the fuck up and you know i'm sure many people may have you know at one point because we're two hours into it that some people be like oh jesus christ you're just gonna talk about this but you know it's come on the
02:04:35
Speaker
adults are talking here, you know what I mean? And I'm sure a lot of people listening to us that are still here understand that. And I, you know, have great respect for you people still here with us because, you know, we're finishing on a positive topic and now I'm going to go and sing lullabies and, you know, do that stuff. And none of this, I will not carry any of this, the negative aspects as we talk. I will not carry that with me, you know?
02:05:03
Speaker
Well, I mean, other than beating my wife, but she's used to that. I keep on joking. I'm joking for the AI that's kind of listening to the conversation here and logging everything. I have just done the joke, the AI and the Google, John Bezos, Elon Musk, all of you guys, the dicks. Anyway, guys,
02:05:27
Speaker
I will catch you next week for the other podcast, which we will probably be promoting on this podcast. But anyway, whoever is listening here, by the time you hear this, it will be the future.
02:05:42
Speaker
And we have come from the past to save you. Just kidding. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. Guys, I'm tired. I woke up early today. But type in Children's Health Podcast and you see my face, see my name there. That will be a new podcast. And, you know, we're going to have a ton of cool stuff. So if you're a parent or, you know, parents share that with folks. And yeah, Dan and Spencer are going to be on next week and it should be airing in a week or two after that. So
02:06:08
Speaker
Yeah, that's all I wanted to say. Guys, once again, thank you for joining me today on the Connecting Minds podcast. If there's any closing thoughts, please share them just in case there's something left unsaid. Yeah, I know. I just wanted to hit on the point you were talking about how you're not going to bring this to your outside life now. You know, you're on here. We're talking about some heavy things and they are sad. There are heavy, sad things that we talk about.
02:06:35
Speaker
But that that was another thing for me that was a huge change is like getting rid of social media, not paying attention to those negative things, but also not carrying those negative things that I hear about for more than five minutes or so. I don't I don't let things stress me out. I don't bring work home and I don't bring home to work.
02:06:54
Speaker
It's if something happens at work and it pisses me off, you know, go home, get it off my chest, talk for 10 minutes or whatever, and then be done with it. Don't carry that stress. Don't carry that trauma with you because then it just builds and feeds, you know, most people when something bad happens, it ruins their whole day.
02:07:13
Speaker
They go to bed thinking about it. They wake up the next day. It's still on their mind and it just festers and festers to the point where it starts having physical health effects. You're not sleeping as well so that, you know, your body's drained from energy. Uh, you know, mental trauma can manifest physically in some way, shape or form, you know, you might not realize it, but that's, that's been proven. It's been studied where you're letting this trauma fester and then you might start limping on one leg or, or.
02:07:42
Speaker
Whatever the case may be, it physically manifests. So huge, huge point that you brought up is just don't carry that shit with you. Let it go. It's not that drastic that it's something that needs to be on your mind for a day or two days or a week or three weeks. That's how you get into depressive slumps and it just continues dragging you downward.
02:08:09
Speaker
Remember you're a being of light, experiencing yourself in a semi-crystallized form for a very short period of time, relative to your most likely eternal existence. You are a thought in the mind of the creator, and you are always safe. And that's it. You have to re-mind yourself of that, and fear, anxiety, all these things.
02:08:38
Speaker
You know, they just melt away when you remember that. Yeah. Awesome, man. This was a great conversation.
02:08:46
Speaker
Um, I can just send you the links. I don't have to plug them here. I'll just send you the links. I'm so stupid guys. Just, uh, sorry. Okay. Tell the listeners where they can find you. Of course, guys, I'm sorry. It's complete. Okay. So it's all right. That's all right.

And the last thing to plug is check our Instagram page out, Spencer's underscore serenade. Check it out, follow it, share it. If you like our show, please, please help us grow. I mean, it doesn't take much, a buck or two here or there. It doesn't take much to show support. So donate to Christian show as well. I mean, like I said, it's the
02:10:46
Speaker
The value for value model that Brandon Thomas talks about, it's donate a buck or two here or there. It's not about the monetary value. It's more about the gesture like, hey, I'm here for your mission. Here's a buck. You know, I'll get you more whenever I am well off enough to do that or whatever the case may be. It's, you know, value for value. Christian's putting out valuable information. He does
02:11:12
Speaker
countless hours of research I'm assuming to get good information and study these types of things.
02:11:18
Speaker
And that, that's time consuming everybody. That's, that's mentally straining. Um, you know, we're going through some heavy, heavy subjects here. And I think this needs to be spread more. It needs to be appreciated more rather than donating to Netflix, because that's what most people do donate their money to Netflix or Hulu or Disney plus or whatever the case may be, you know, donate and support more important things.
02:11:48
Speaker
that are going to change your life rather than just keep you stagnant in your life. So I'll leave the listeners with that. Thanks guys. Thanks again and we'll have you all soon. Of course. Looking forward to it.
