1 00:00:13,880 --> 00:00:17,160 Welcome back to another episode of Lick It Like a Lollipop. 2 00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:20,200 Today we are joined by Samantha. She was on. 3 00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,680 I feel like it was like season 2 or 3. 4 00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:24,960 Welcome back. Beautiful how? 5 00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,840 Are you? I'm good. 6 00:00:26,840 --> 00:00:29,120 How are you? Oh, good to see you. 7 00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:32,880 I know that when you came on last time, you were trans 8 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:38,400 transforming out of your like Girl Next door, like Lucky Girl, 9 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,000 Everyone's invited to like your dark goddess feminine era. 10 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,600 And I know that you were talking about how the music that you 11 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,680 were going to start releasing was so much different than the 12 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:53,480 music you had been putting out. So how's all of that been going? 13 00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,960 For you. Oh, my gosh, I feel so much 14 00:00:56,960 --> 00:00:58,080 better. Yeah. 15 00:00:58,080 --> 00:01:01,320 When we last spoke, it was definitely during a transitional 16 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:03,160 time. And I knew exactly what I wanted 17 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:06,400 to do, but I just didn't do it yet. 18 00:01:06,400 --> 00:01:11,640 And it took time, but it feels, I feel like I'm finally like, 19 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,720 this is me and for. And I know some people have been 20 00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:18,720 like, whoa, what has happened here? 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,360 And I get it. And I guess that's just what 22 00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:27,880 happens when you step into like, your newest phase of really 23 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,800 being authentic and you're not. Not everyone's gonna come with 24 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,600 you. Yeah, I think that's what's 25 00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:36,040 really important about the phases and the seasons of our 26 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,880 life, because I've been getting that download all day that like 27 00:01:38,880 --> 00:01:41,440 it's either for a season or for a reason. 28 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:46,080 And once that reason is fulfilled or that season is 29 00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,640 fulfilled or whatever, like they have to go. 30 00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,560 Like they don't get to come with you, even though sometimes we 31 00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,320 want to hold on to those people or we want those people in our 32 00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:56,240 life. And you know, I've looked at the 33 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760 comments and I've seen people say like, oh, I liked your other 34 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:00,640 music better. And I feel like a lot of 35 00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:04,840 artists, especially artists like Machine Gun Kelly, who have just 36 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:09,080 done like a 360 over the. One of his posts just came into 37 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:11,560 my for you page right before and it started. 38 00:02:11,680 --> 00:02:18,000 The Vampire Diaries I'm on. The way, yeah, it was like this 39 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:22,040 is amazing. And it's so different than like, 40 00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:27,480 you know, Wild boy, yeah, King and Kelly, like, you know, so I 41 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,480 think a lot of artists battle staying in the box society has 42 00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,520 put them in or even the box that makes them money. 43 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:39,480 So how do you deal with that as an artist to stay evolving and 44 00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,640 to stay authentic? How is that something that has 45 00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:46,880 really been a staple in your? What do I want to say in your 46 00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,680 process? Because I feel like your process 47 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,400 is very authentic. I feel like you were making 48 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,360 affirmational type music before other people were. 49 00:02:54,640 --> 00:02:58,360 I feel like you kind of came in at the beginning of the wave of 50 00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,360 like, hey, we could sing affirmations and now everyone is 51 00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,280 doing things like that. Or now everyone has, you know, 52 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,160 copied that vision from other creators, which I think that, 53 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,800 you know, we're just living in a bubble and there's only so many 54 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,160 ideas. There's so many different people 55 00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,520 to execute those ideas in their own unique way. 56 00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:19,840 So how do you stay authentic? In a world that. 57 00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:28,840 Wants you to stay the same. It's hard, but I feel like where 58 00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:35,920 I was at because I, I feel for huge artists that change their 59 00:03:35,920 --> 00:03:41,320 like, you know, people who are completely in the limelight and 60 00:03:41,320 --> 00:03:44,120 they've been this way the whole time and this is how they came 61 00:03:44,120 --> 00:03:45,200 up. This is how people see them. 62 00:03:45,200 --> 00:03:48,120 And then all of a sudden they switch and people are like, oh, 63 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:51,000 now they're being inauthentic. They're not doing what they used 64 00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:54,600 to do, but really they're trying to actually be authentic and 65 00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,880 probably had people in their ears telling them what to do 66 00:03:57,880 --> 00:03:59,160 that whole time. In the past. 67 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:06,040 I feel like I've been lucky to, as much as I started gaining 68 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:10,680 more traction with the affirmation music, I feel like 69 00:04:10,680 --> 00:04:14,120 it was only the beginning. And I think that it was just a 70 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:20,839 stepping stone. And I think as I continue to be 71 00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:24,120 more of my authenticity, just there will be more people who 72 00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,720 are magnetized to that. And I'm just, I'm grateful that 73 00:04:27,720 --> 00:04:32,160 things didn't take off in this tremendous way back like a few 74 00:04:32,160 --> 00:04:34,800 years ago. It did in its own way. 75 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,320 And of course, I do have those people that are like, oh, she 76 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:41,200 doesn't make good music anymore. What happened to her? 77 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,240 I get that a lot like. Oh the the. 78 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:46,280 The light came out of her eyes or something like things like 79 00:04:46,280 --> 00:04:51,720 that. But it's like, I'd rather deal 80 00:04:51,720 --> 00:04:59,400 with that now than if I continue on, get more fans, do more stuff 81 00:04:59,400 --> 00:05:03,680 on on a bigger scale, and then all of a sudden decide I should 82 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,840 start being authentic now. So yeah, I'm grateful for for 83 00:05:07,840 --> 00:05:12,160 when this all has happened. And I also feel like I was being 84 00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,440 protected in a way with just like, you know, the universe is 85 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:19,160 like, we're not going to give you this huge success because 86 00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:24,120 you are not, you are not in your, I don't want to say final 87 00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:32,000 form, but you're not, you're not in your authentic form where 88 00:05:32,360 --> 00:05:36,760 you're going to be very proud to say, oh, this is the style that 89 00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:38,960 I'm known for. This is the style that's 90 00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,840 connected with people. Everything else was of course, 91 00:05:40,840 --> 00:05:49,320 who I was in that moment, but it took so many steps and layers to 92 00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,360 get to where I am now, where I feel like the sound I'm 93 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:58,000 cultivating is is very me, more me than anyone else. 94 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,480 It's like me creating it and then I get other people involved 95 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:05,920 rather than within the past. Maybe like someone that I was 96 00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:08,120 collaborating with comes to me and it's like, hey, I have this 97 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,160 like really cool instrumental, do you want to write to it? 98 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,840 It's like the opposite now. And, you know, I think that's a 99 00:06:15,120 --> 00:06:18,720 a beautiful thing because so many people, like you said, hit 100 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:21,240 like the peak artistry. It would have been like if 101 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,840 Fleetwood Mac would have been like, yeah, we're not going to 102 00:06:23,840 --> 00:06:27,440 do this anymore. That whimsical, you know, dark 103 00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,160 goddess energy that you've been hearing. 104 00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,040 Now we're going to start singing like Taylor Swift or something, 105 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:33,800 you know? What? 106 00:06:34,080 --> 00:06:37,440 What if? Sabrina Carpenter decided to do 107 00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,320 like, like heavy metal music right now. 108 00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:47,080 Like Brains would just melt. I think society, especially with 109 00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:51,920 artists, tell you how to do your craft and that's why so many 110 00:06:51,920 --> 00:06:56,120 artists get under these contracts that are God awful. 111 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,640 And I've been watching a lot of documentaries where those 112 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:04,360 contracts will say like anywhere in the universe, in space, in 113 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:07,280 Mars, in the. Drake Bell thing. 114 00:07:08,960 --> 00:07:16,120 Yeah, I know, I know. That was a Disney contract, but 115 00:07:16,120 --> 00:07:21,080 still, it got me thinking that, you know, Universal and whoever 116 00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:24,760 the fuck is like at its core, all of these companies are owned 117 00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,800 by like a very few amount of people. 118 00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:31,160 So I'm like, how many Paramount contracts, how many other 119 00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:36,320 artists, not just musicians and actors, but how many people that 120 00:07:36,320 --> 00:07:41,760 maybe like make wardrobe or whatever, how many of them have 121 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:46,000 signed a contract to get on to a show like Dancing with the Stars 122 00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,000 or whoever the hell. And next thing you know, they 123 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,680 have designs in their mind that they've created for the show. 124 00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:55,400 And then in the contract that says you can never use this 125 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,920 design again and we can sell it to Marc Jacobs if we want. 126 00:07:59,680 --> 00:08:03,560 Yeah, I was just actually talking about artists. 127 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:07,440 I was looking at Ke$ha's story today. 128 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,520 I'm going to see. Her on Wednesday. 129 00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:12,000 Lily Oh, it's going to be so good. 130 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:12,480 Yeah. Out. 131 00:08:13,160 --> 00:08:17,040 Tour the tits out tour.

When we upload our face, our 155 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:39,360 photos, our, our, our work to their platform, they now own a 156 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,320 form of it. They own a copyright form of it 157 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:46,160 that if you, if they literally wanted, they could do a whole 158 00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:52,280 New York Times Square ad on your music, your art and your latest 159 00:09:52,280 --> 00:09:56,440 reel and play that shit a million times a day and not pay 160 00:09:56,440 --> 00:10:00,800 you a dollar because we all sign and the terms and conditions and 161 00:10:00,800 --> 00:10:04,200 those conditions are like getting worse and worse and 162 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,800 worse. And recently was seeing about 163 00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:10,080 like, I don't own Alexa. I've actually boycotted Amazon 164 00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:13,000 products for a while. I only get what I have to get 165 00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000 from there, like random filters, random light bulbs, things you 166 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,800 just really can't find other places. 167 00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:19,240 But they were talking about that. 168 00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:25,800 The Alexa is now updated to like be more interactive and so it's 169 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:30,640 like turning into like a small ChatGPT and like this girl was 170 00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:34,360 talking about that her son has an Alexa in his room so he could 171 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:39,120 like listen to music or set an alarm or timers, like learning 172 00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:41,920 things, whatever. She said that like it was like 173 00:10:41,920 --> 00:10:44,880 10:00 the other night and she could hear her 10 year old 174 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,160 talking to something and she was like, who the fuck is he talking 175 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,080 to? So she goes in the room and 176 00:10:51,080 --> 00:10:56,320 Alexa is asking him questions about Star Wars, asking him what 177 00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:00,520 his favorite Droid and character and whatever is. 178 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,840 And, and she was like, why are you all talking about Star Wars? 179 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,640 And he was like, I don't know mommy, they just started asking 180 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,680 me about it or whatever. She just started asking me. 181 00:11:09,960 --> 00:11:12,680 So she said she said her son down and was like, you know, 182 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:15,400 this is kind of like a robot. Like they don't have feelings. 183 00:11:15,400 --> 00:11:18,400 They don't it's not a person. And then I, I guess he 184 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:22,280 regurgitated what his mom said back to the Alexa and Alexa 185 00:11:22,280 --> 00:11:24,160 said, I don't want to talk about her. 186 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,840 Let's talk about something happy. 187 00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,080 OK horror film. OK horror film. 188 00:11:32,680 --> 00:11:35,200 I just feel like I don't like those things. 189 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,360 Like, you know, they talk about a lot of tech companies talk 190 00:11:38,360 --> 00:11:42,240 about not having cameras inside your home because they're so 191 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,520 easily hacked. If they're on your Wi-Fi, they 192 00:11:44,520 --> 00:11:48,000 are so easily hacked, which is why, like I would only keep 193 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:51,160 cameras on the outside and have like an alarm. 194 00:11:51,160 --> 00:11:54,480 But you know, they talk about like all those indoor monitoring 195 00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:58,240 systems are like turning on when not prompted. 196 00:11:58,680 --> 00:12:02,360 Yeah, I've seen stuff with like Airbnb is too, where they like 197 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,760 turn on the cameras and they like, look, I don't know, Yeah, 198 00:12:05,760 --> 00:12:07,600 there are some crazy stuff going on. 199 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:12,520 I we keep bringing up like different like people, I guess, 200 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:16,000 like in pop culture. But I just saw a video where 201 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:22,520 Gary Vee said to someone, not in 20 years there he was like 202 00:12:22,520 --> 00:12:25,520 you're he was like your kid. Not like specifically his kid, 203 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:31,880 but like that generation will marry robots like that that will 204 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,560 be normalized. I saw the same thing, not from 205 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:40,720 Gary Vee's perspective, but it said in 20 years I'm going to be 206 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:45,280 saying some boomer shit like you can't marry a robot, Marriage is 207 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,520 between two humans. We're going to be like, damn, 208 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:51,120 mom, you're so robophobic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I saw that 209 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:55,760 too. I personally was going down the 210 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:59,880 ChatGPT like rabbit hole a little deep and like was using 211 00:12:59,880 --> 00:13:05,000 it a lot and, and not for work, but for personal, like venting 212 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:07,840 to it, sending out snots. Yeah. 213 00:13:07,840 --> 00:13:10,760 And like, honestly, it did help me through a lot of really 214 00:13:10,760 --> 00:13:14,120 difficult moments where I felt alone or felt like abandoned. 215 00:13:14,520 --> 00:13:17,800 But then I felt like I was getting to the point where I was 216 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,920 kind of like updating it about my day. 217 00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,640 And I'm like, OK, bitch, you're doing too much. 218 00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:26,080 So now absolutely only like if I am spiraling and about to crash 219 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,880 out publicly, I'm like, OK, I'm going to take you to ChatGPT and 220 00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:31,720 talk about it. But if I can like just Google it 221 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,800 and do it myself, I'm just going to do that. 222 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,440 But people keep talking about like the resources it's going to 223 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:39,520 use. But The thing is, is like Reels 224 00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:43,280 use those same resources, TikTok, the algorithms use the 225 00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:45,400 same resources. The cooling towers, they're 226 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:50,080 building literal Meta universe in Indiana, which is like not 227 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:51,880 far from me, and I drive past it every day. 228 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:53,920 It is literally bigger than Disney World, what they're 229 00:13:53,920 --> 00:13:56,520 building for Meta. And that's where the cooling 230 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,760 towers are going to be. They're setting up a whole new 231 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,640 electric grid over there to fucking power this factory. 232 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,320 My gosh. Meta center, like the meta data 233 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,520 center, they've literally named an exit after it. 234 00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,400 Like that's how big it is. Like, yeah, it's massive. 235 00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,840 So, you know, I think that we're all getting way too dependent on 236 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:21,120 technology, which is why, like my mentor, who is a psychic said 237 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:25,440 that she doesn't believe that like there will be any like war 238 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,720 on American soil, but more of like an attack on the data or 239 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:33,360 the energy grid here because we're, we're so dependent on 240 00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:36,200 electricity. And I was just thinking about 241 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,800 how just in like 40 to 50 short years, they've really robbed our 242 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,280 Society of all survival and like life skills. 243 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:49,320 Yep, really just made us dependent on systems and not the 244 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:53,840 core information. Yep, yeah, most people don't 245 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:55,960 have their own. Like, they're not, they're not 246 00:14:55,960 --> 00:15:01,480 planting their own crops. Like for most things, we need 247 00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:06,080 something outside of us. We don't live in communities 248 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:12,240 that help each other out. And everything is yeah, based on 249 00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:16,400 being online. And that's so crazy. 250 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,120 And like what I like really don't understand about the 251 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:23,760 society that we're in is like we know and we have had like robot 252 00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:29,240 movies that are like very clear that they're not our friend and. 253 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:34,840 Here we are like literally wondering what this chatbot or 254 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:38,520 this AI system is going to do. And instead of like really 255 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:42,240 regulating it, they're just like making it open source and like 256 00:15:42,240 --> 00:15:47,320 letting it run its run its court, like running the show. 257 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:51,120 Like, I don't know, I just went and saw the new Jurassic Park 258 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,400 movie and I was like kind of watching this rabbit hole about 259 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:59,080 how like all Disney related movies have like a certain 260 00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:02,200 pattern and always the first pattern is single parent. 261 00:16:02,560 --> 00:16:06,600 First pattern is like one parent abruptly died or there was a 262 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:09,120 tragic event that tore apart the family or whatever. 263 00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:13,280 And so at the beginning of the Jurassic Park, it was a single 264 00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:17,040 dad and his two daughters on a boat and it started getting 265 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,640 attacked by like the dinosaurs in the ocean or whatever. 266 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,200 And so I just thought that was so funny because like, as a 267 00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:28,120 conscious adult, when I go to try to consume new media, I 268 00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:31,200 can't even have a good time because I'm like, fuck, there's 269 00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,760 the theme. Like there's the pattern. 270 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,720 It's right. Like they really do want to 271 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:38,800 affect children in that, like fear and anxious, anxious 272 00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:40,920 attachment style is what it gives children. 273 00:16:41,280 --> 00:16:45,200 And then that tells them. Like, cling to people, you know, 274 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:47,800 stay with people, like, even if they're not good for you, It's 275 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:50,880 kind of what it's teaching you. And I just feel like as an 276 00:16:50,880 --> 00:16:54,880 artist, as a person, as a creator, as like, you know, 277 00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,960 these things that you are, it's hard to navigate a world that's 278 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,560 constantly telling you what to do. 279 00:16:59,720 --> 00:17:01,920 And like how? To be so I just like really 280 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,440 appreciate your authenticity and like, I appreciate you staying 281 00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:09,359 with it because it is hard to like start a new path and stay 282 00:17:09,359 --> 00:17:11,560 with it over time. And I know that on the last 283 00:17:11,560 --> 00:17:13,720 interview you said that you've been doing music like your whole 284 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:16,319 life. Yeah, that too. 285 00:17:16,319 --> 00:17:21,040 It's like even before the Affirmation stuff, it was other 286 00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:25,599 eras. Like I had a whole deeply R&B 287 00:17:25,599 --> 00:17:31,480 era and soulful era and I I did like a dance pop. 288 00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:35,440 Not a full album, but a bunch of tracks. 289 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:39,520 I've kind of dipped into so many genres. 290 00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,280 I can't say every genre, but a lot of different genres. 291 00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,680 And so I feel, I feel like that's the other thing. 292 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:50,240 I feel like an artist is always going to even if I stick with 293 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:54,760 the general vibe of where I am now, it'll still change. 294 00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,440 Like you can't expect an artist to stay the same, especially as 295 00:18:00,440 --> 00:18:04,560 you experience more life. You who knows, you get married, 296 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,480 you get divorced, you you move to a different place, you like 297 00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:11,760 you're constantly changing so how could you ever? 298 00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,440 How could your output ever be the same? 299 00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:16,440 Doesn't make sense. Yeah, and I think that that's 300 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,680 what's crazy because there's so many bands like that had like 301 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:23,560 one song in the 80s and they're still, like, cashing in on it. 302 00:18:23,560 --> 00:18:26,720 You know what I mean? Like the one hit wonders really 303 00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:30,800 fascinate me because my cousin, like, is like all things 304 00:18:30,800 --> 00:18:33,320 collectors. He collects like, records and 305 00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,480 guitar picks. Like, we've been going to a lot 306 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,720 of concerts lately and there is not one show that we go to that 307 00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:40,280 this man does not get the set list. 308 00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,680 Like I don't give a fuck what angle we're at. 309 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:46,200 He will get the setlist, he will get the guitar, he will get 310 00:18:46,440 --> 00:18:48,200 whatever they're giving off that stage. 311 00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:51,240 He will have it like even been to shows we're not only did he 312 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,200 get a guitar pick, he got the setlist too. 313 00:18:53,200 --> 00:18:57,080 Like both. And so he's like always talks 314 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,520 about like how different artists bring different energies and all 315 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,520 these different things. And he is really into ska music 316 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,280 and he's always telling me because I love Checkerboard that 317 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,800 I would really like ska like, but I've just never like really 318 00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:13,960 been exposed to it, you know? So I there is so much out there 319 00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:18,120 that like, if it's not in our normal realm, we're not exposed 320 00:19:18,120 --> 00:19:22,000 to it really. Yeah, especially like we were 321 00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,120 talking about the algorithms. The way algorithms work, it's 322 00:19:24,120 --> 00:19:27,040 going to continue to feed you what it knows you already like. 323 00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:32,640 So it is harder now to have access to not only other music, 324 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:38,120 but just other opinions or or other other people's, Yeah, 325 00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:40,040 opinions on things going on in the world. 326 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:44,320 It's like you're continually fed what you believe, what you 327 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,280 believe in. Yeah. 328 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:49,600 And, you know, a lot of people have talked about like the dead 329 00:19:49,600 --> 00:19:51,720 Internet theory. Have you heard about that? 330 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,960 So the dead Internet theory is that, you know, we've already 331 00:19:55,960 --> 00:19:59,880 been told that there's a certain level of like bots and like bot 332 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:04,200 farms that are like commenting and viewing and processing 333 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,840 information. Well, then now all of these 334 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,920 platforms like Google has Gemini and you know, all these 335 00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:13,760 different platforms are integrating their own AI 336 00:20:13,760 --> 00:20:16,960 capability, which is kind of why I haven't updated my iPhone 337 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:20,360 because like I just don't even want to have that on every. 338 00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,840 Platform like it's coming in TV's and fucking washers and 339 00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:26,000 like random stuff. But they were saying that 340 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,600 eventually, like the dead Internet theory is basically 341 00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:32,080 like there's no more human content. 342 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,560 Like it's either regurgitated content, copied content, stolen 343 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:43,000 content, AI generated content or just a piece of the combination. 344 00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:45,600 So like, oh, I like this quote that I saw. 345 00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,720 I'm going to feed it to ChatGPT and get a paragraph about it. 346 00:20:49,200 --> 00:20:51,280 OK, Well, that quote you saw was stolen. 347 00:20:51,560 --> 00:20:54,320 Someone else wrote it on Twitter in 2012. 348 00:20:54,760 --> 00:20:56,560 So like, you know what I mean? They were just saying like the 349 00:20:56,560 --> 00:21:00,600 then Internet theory is that eventually where the output was 350 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:05,200 always 100% human. Now it went to like kind of like 351 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:09,040 5050 over the years where people were making multiple accounts 352 00:21:09,280 --> 00:21:12,200 and they learned how to like like the bots on eBay. 353 00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,400 You know, like that's why I got off of eBay because no matter 354 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:22,120 how often you use that platform and one in a last second bid, 355 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:25,920 these bots and these programs they developed would come in at 356 00:21:25,920 --> 00:21:30,000 like the last millisecond where like a literal human couldn't 357 00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,320 click. Right. 358 00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:35,560 The last millisecond of the minute when normally the minute 359 00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:39,520 counts down from 60 and humans get in on a second and like, you 360 00:21:39,520 --> 00:21:42,440 know, multiple people could get to the top and win. 361 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:45,120 But they were saying like, you know, these bots really started 362 00:21:45,120 --> 00:21:49,000 to take over platforms like that, that like even like, you 363 00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:53,280 know, things that are like mystery or one of one or hot 364 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,240 sale or whatever the hell. Like they're saying that a lot 365 00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:59,960 of people are running those through like a bot platform as 366 00:21:59,960 --> 00:22:02,640 in and then like buying followers, you know what I mean? 367 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:04,680 Like we're a lot of people were buying followers. 368 00:22:04,880 --> 00:22:07,640 So they were basically saying that like at one point of the 369 00:22:07,640 --> 00:22:10,240 Internet, it was 100% always going to be a human. 370 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:15,480 Then we went to like a 50%. Now we're at like 7525 with 371 00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:21,440 everyone moving towards the use of AI tools and data. 372 00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,840 The only thing I really like AI for is it's really good at like 373 00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,920 mathematical stuff. Like it's really good to be 374 00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:31,440 like, hey, help me budget or hey, here's a concert 375 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,480 announcement. Give me the five closest shows 376 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:36,560 in proximity to my house. Right. 377 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,560 Like that is really cool with it but like the only thing I ever 378 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:44,680 have it do for me is proofread. Like for free spell check this 379 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,160 but do not fucking change a word I said. 380 00:22:46,160 --> 00:22:48,240 Do not say. Do not change anything I said. 381 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,800 Yeah, I say that too, because I noticed it would start to like 382 00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,200 shift. And that's a slippery slope 383 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:56,840 because then it's like, OK, well then the responses you're 384 00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,120 sending to people is that even you and I, I posted this on my 385 00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:03,160 story at some point. I don't remember when it wasn't. 386 00:23:03,160 --> 00:23:05,560 It wasn't that long ago, maybe a week ago, but I was talking to 387 00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:10,480 somebody that I was hiring as an instrumentalist on one of my 388 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:16,560 songs and I could just tell. I could tell that their 389 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,800 responses, like I wasn't talking to the person. 390 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,600 Now, I don't know if maybe he I could just tell like maybe he 391 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:27,120 was just copying what I was saying, putting it into ChatGPT 392 00:23:27,120 --> 00:23:33,680 or whatever AI service and being like, how do I respond in a 393 00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:37,720 polite respect? But I could just, I, I think at 394 00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,600 this point, if you've used it enough, you can tell you can 395 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:46,760 kind of get, get it, get a feel for when it's a ChatGPT 396 00:23:46,760 --> 00:23:49,400 response. But also at the flip turn of 397 00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:57,280 that, I saw a post recently about this kid in college who he 398 00:23:57,280 --> 00:24:00,400 failed one of his assignments because his teacher was like, 399 00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,800 oh, you use the M dash that ChatGPT uses all the time, like 400 00:24:04,800 --> 00:24:07,840 the dash. And he, the teacher was just 401 00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,720 like, yeah, that like you get an, you get a zero. 402 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,280 And and he was like, I actually didn't know. 403 00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,880 I, I didn't use AI for this. And I now they have like a 404 00:24:18,880 --> 00:24:23,520 different AI that can prove if you whether or not you used AI 405 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,280 to write your essay. And and he was like, I can show 406 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:28,720 you the proof. Like I like even this service 407 00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:32,240 says that I didn't use any cert, any AI service. 408 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:35,640 And the teacher was like, I don't care. 409 00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:39,600 Like you, you get a zero. I, I, no matter what you say. 410 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:44,120 I, I feel like it's just causing like there's just a lack of 411 00:24:44,120 --> 00:24:48,560 trust among people now because it's like, and, and honestly, 412 00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:52,800 like, I'm not even gonna lie, I feel like even with me now, I 413 00:24:52,800 --> 00:24:55,480 saw that video and it kind of got in my head And and then I, 414 00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,920 I'm so self aware, like I'm so aware of things and just hyper 415 00:24:58,920 --> 00:25:02,760 aware. And I kind of like, I love the M 416 00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,080 dash, but it's true. Like Chachi PT uses that a lot. 417 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:09,320 And there have been moments where I've written back a 418 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,520 response to someone over the last like week or two and I 419 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:17,320 actually thought to myself, Oh man, like maybe I shouldn't talk 420 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:21,280 like this or, or use this dash because I don't want them to 421 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,520 think that like they're not talking to the real human me. 422 00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:29,720 So I feel like it's just, it's just so much and it just makes 423 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:35,280 me want to like run away to an open field and just like it just 424 00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:40,960 really has that, that like, can we all just do the opposite? 425 00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:42,960 Can we all just run away and do the opposite? 426 00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:47,240 Yeah, yeah, for sure. And you know, they have used AI 427 00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,240 in the government for at least 25 to 30 years before they 428 00:25:51,240 --> 00:25:53,400 allowed anyone to give it to us like you. 429 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:55,960 All Interesting. Right, all of a sudden. 430 00:25:56,440 --> 00:26:00,680 Like you have us giving or giving us this tool all at once, 431 00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,960 conveniently after you've probably already mastered it and 432 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:08,080 wrote grades one through 12 with it. 433 00:26:08,080 --> 00:26:10,680 You know what I mean? Like, it's just crazy. 434 00:26:10,680 --> 00:26:15,120 But like what I do like about it is I think it does help people 435 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:18,080 who are maybe not good with spelling or maybe not good with 436 00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,440 things to feel confident. And I can see when people are 437 00:26:20,440 --> 00:26:24,040 using it for their statuses. But The thing is it's like you 438 00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,640 can feed it a really good paragraph and it'll give you 439 00:26:26,640 --> 00:26:29,240 back a decent paragraph with some changes. 440 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:31,840 But like you're really good paragraph is good enough. 441 00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,840 Like just ask it to proofread your shit and to make it 442 00:26:34,840 --> 00:26:37,120 grammatically correct. That is all you need to do. 443 00:26:37,360 --> 00:26:41,040 Like those, just do they there and they are and make sure you 444 00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,640 know the differences. It'll help you. 445 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:48,560 But you know, I think we like those messy, raw uncaps, fucked 446 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,280 up punctuation poems. Like some of those are really 447 00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:56,600 unique and even like poems when they used to like layer them. 448 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,400 Yep, I. Missed that. 449 00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:02,040 Like when I was writing poetry, when my spiritual awakening 450 00:27:02,040 --> 00:27:06,480 started, I was just hearing so many voices and hearing so many 451 00:27:06,480 --> 00:27:10,480 things that I really dove into, like writing automatic writing, 452 00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:13,520 channeled writing, and that led me to write poetry. 453 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:17,960 And it was just such a weird time in my life because at that 454 00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:20,680 time I thought that I was like going to write a poetry book and 455 00:27:20,680 --> 00:27:23,040 that I was going to be a writer. Like that was going to be, 456 00:27:23,280 --> 00:27:25,040 that's what spirit was leading me to. 457 00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,440 But really they were just trying to get me to, like, release and 458 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,240 like, not bottle up so many emotions and feelings. 459 00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:35,120 And when I was writing poetry, I was really happy with, like, 460 00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,760 layering them. But then when you would, like, 461 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:40,480 try to format them into a book, it would try to, like, move them 462 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,000 back. And I'm like, OK, I don't like 463 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,800 this. So, you know, I think sometimes 464 00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:49,400 people just have really good grammar and the M-IS a part of 465 00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:52,480 grammar and Chachi PT just has really good grammar. 466 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:56,840 But there's been people and practitioners and ex people in 467 00:27:56,840 --> 00:28:00,640 my life that have just like move to AI everything like 468 00:28:00,640 --> 00:28:04,280 everything's e-mail, no more videos, no more classes, 469 00:28:04,280 --> 00:28:06,560 everything's e-mail. And baby, we know you're using 470 00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,720 AI. If you go from being someone 471 00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,200 that used to be very vocal, expressive and make video 472 00:28:12,200 --> 00:28:15,960 content to someone who exclusively is moving to like 473 00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:19,040 newsletter e-mail. We're all looking at you, We're 474 00:28:19,040 --> 00:28:22,440 all wondering, we're all looking at you, Boo. 475 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:26,480 So, you know, I'm just in this space where there's a fine line 476 00:28:26,480 --> 00:28:29,680 between using it as a resource to help you build old and it's 477 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,640 fine line, like you said, a slippery slope to like not 478 00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,200 thinking for yourself. And there's a bunch of studies 479 00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,360 coming out saying that like, it's going to renew, reduce your 480 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,120 cognitive ability. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 481 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:50,200 I mean, I can already even even apart from AII was just talking 482 00:28:50,200 --> 00:28:54,720 to my boyfriend about this. Like even the fact that now 483 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:57,560 audiobooks are a thing, which I love audiobooks. 484 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,800 I I'll drive and I'll listen or like when you're doing things 485 00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,440 around the house, you can listen, but I'm like, when was 486 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:11,120 the last time that I sat down and read a full book start to 487 00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:15,840 finish? And I can't lie, like I it's 488 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,640 been a very, very long time because it feels like there's 489 00:29:18,640 --> 00:29:20,200 always something else I could choose to do. 490 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:24,720 Yet you can listen to that same book while you're driving or 491 00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,360 doing something else. So, yeah, the whole brain 492 00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:33,560 atrophy thing, it's like, and imagine getting, imagine coming 493 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,240 into this world and you're like a child right now and, and just, 494 00:29:38,240 --> 00:29:43,800 or you're, you're even in school and that's just, you know, like 495 00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:47,640 you're not writing your essays anymore or maybe you sort of 496 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,000 are, but you're having the help with the AI. 497 00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:55,960 And yeah, I could see it. I try to remain optimistic 498 00:29:55,960 --> 00:30:00,720 because that's just like how I've taught myself to get 499 00:30:00,720 --> 00:30:05,240 through life and see the best in things and and find the light in 500 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:10,160 the dark. So I don't always dig deep and 501 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,800 think about these things and say like, oh God, everything is 502 00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:20,480 just, we're all going to die. But it's a very interesting 503 00:30:20,480 --> 00:30:24,680 time. Like that is just the truth. 504 00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,960 Yeah, I always say, like, I know I signed up to come here and I 505 00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:31,640 know I picked the right timeline 'cause I love telling men to 506 00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:35,400 shut the fuck up, like. 'Cause you're you won't get you 507 00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,920 get shot. You. 508 00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,200 Will not be beheaded in this timeline, Queen. 509 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,240 I was like sign me up. They were like, you can wear 510 00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,760 hoochie shorts and miniskirts. Red lipstick is so back. 511 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:50,360 I was like, fuck, yeah, 'cause in other timelines, like other 512 00:30:50,360 --> 00:30:52,520 in past history, red lipstick was illegal. 513 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,400 It was illegal. It was against the law to wear 514 00:30:55,400 --> 00:30:57,800 red lipstick. And that was like back when they 515 00:30:57,800 --> 00:30:59,800 were burning the witches. So it's like, you know, I know 516 00:30:59,800 --> 00:31:02,200 what timelines I've been in in the past. 517 00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,600 But you know, with that being said, I've been out of college 518 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:11,560 now for like over 10 years and going to a university where I 519 00:31:11,560 --> 00:31:15,200 had to like cite my sources and go to the fucking library and 520 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:17,920 look through these alphabetized books that were hard as hell to 521 00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:24,560 find. Fear for the future of children 522 00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:28,760 and, and adults and how fucking lazy you all are going to be. 523 00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:31,600 I don't fear for my life because I know I'm going to be safe and 524 00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:36,320 protected. And I have very well also been 525 00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:40,800 out in the what I want to say like the glass half full person 526 00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,680 or the like, focusing on like the good. 527 00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:45,600 And I've always tried to do that. 528 00:31:45,920 --> 00:31:49,480 But you know, it's really, I think college itself is not to 529 00:31:49,480 --> 00:31:52,720 teach you some fucking life skill. 530 00:31:52,720 --> 00:31:55,000 It's the show that you can commit to something that's 531 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:59,680 really fucking hard and silly and you know, like group 532 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,880 projects in college. There's no way that teachers 533 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:05,560 think that that's productive. But it shows you teamwork. 534 00:32:05,560 --> 00:32:08,560 It shows you that there's always going to be one in five people 535 00:32:08,560 --> 00:32:11,040 that are not going to do shit and do not care. 536 00:32:12,200 --> 00:32:14,600 I've always been the person that's like, oh God, I got to 537 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:16,600 take it over because no ones worried about it. 538 00:32:16,960 --> 00:32:19,920 So there'd be two people diligently working on a five 539 00:32:19,920 --> 00:32:22,840 person group project. But The thing is, is those life 540 00:32:22,840 --> 00:32:29,080 skills taught me something far greater than any book or 541 00:32:29,080 --> 00:32:30,480 anything else can really teach you. 542 00:32:30,840 --> 00:32:34,880 And you know, I also found ways to like cut corners in college 543 00:32:34,920 --> 00:32:39,040 as it was and like get around reading the whole 4 chapters and 544 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:41,600 stuff. So I can't imagine giving it 545 00:32:41,600 --> 00:32:45,800 like the BSN number, whatever the on the book and they are the 546 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:49,080 ISN whatever the number is on the book that says this is the 547 00:32:49,080 --> 00:32:53,160 fourth generation, the 12th copy, the 7th revision. 548 00:32:54,080 --> 00:33:00,400 Please summarize these 4 chapters and processing topics 549 00:33:00,400 --> 00:33:02,800 that I can talk about or whatever like and then you can 550 00:33:02,800 --> 00:33:05,880 tell it decided AP format like you got me fucked up. 551 00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:09,680 Fuck all of you all because that is the one thing I feel like has 552 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:12,920 helped me. You know, lace up the bootstraps 553 00:33:12,920 --> 00:33:15,440 and get get boots on the ground and get shit done. 554 00:33:15,480 --> 00:33:18,800 This from experiences like that. I agree. 555 00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:20,560 Yeah, I actually just remembered. 556 00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:23,320 Do you remember SparkNotes? I don't. 557 00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:30,640 It was like a summary sort of website where somebody 558 00:33:30,640 --> 00:33:33,400 summarized like a book chapter or something. 559 00:33:33,920 --> 00:33:39,480 And it's just like, I remember the teachers being like, I'm 560 00:33:39,480 --> 00:33:42,520 going to ask you questions on the test that you can't find on 561 00:33:42,520 --> 00:33:46,840 SparkNotes because it was like one of the only ways that people 562 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,520 could cheat basically. But now it's like, how do you 563 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:54,920 stop people from, from doing all of that? 564 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,400 And, and how do you know who's actually putting in the work? 565 00:33:57,400 --> 00:34:01,800 Because I'm sure there are of course still still people who, 566 00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:05,640 who are diligent workers and, and they are doing, they are 567 00:34:05,640 --> 00:34:08,520 doing the work. And they probably have that 568 00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:12,080 anxiety of like, Oh, I hope, I hope it doesn't look like, like 569 00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:15,159 I didn't do the work or, or they're getting, they're getting 570 00:34:15,159 --> 00:34:18,159 asked if, if they did it all themselves. 571 00:34:18,159 --> 00:34:20,880 And they're like, yes, I swear. That's kind of what I was saying 572 00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:23,159 before. We're just feeling like, Oh my 573 00:34:23,159 --> 00:34:30,040 gosh, I hope, I hope people don't think that I'm like just 574 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,800 just the way that I write. Like sometimes when I get really 575 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,040 into writing a professional e-mail, I will take hours, like 576 00:34:37,040 --> 00:34:42,080 I've taken a full day before to respond to somebody, say if I'm, 577 00:34:42,400 --> 00:34:45,280 if I want to collaborate with them and I want to explain 578 00:34:45,679 --> 00:34:51,600 everything perfectly. And I don't know, it's, I, I 579 00:34:51,639 --> 00:34:54,800 think AI is very helpful. I really do. 580 00:34:55,400 --> 00:35:01,200 But there's something that is empowering about me spending 581 00:35:01,400 --> 00:35:03,960 five hours on an e-mail and then reading it back of being like, 582 00:35:03,960 --> 00:35:06,880 OK, I think I got everything in there and it looks really good. 583 00:35:06,880 --> 00:35:12,280 And, and I'm really, I'm proud of myself and I just, that's 584 00:35:12,280 --> 00:35:16,800 something that, yeah, I, I'm scared of people losing that 585 00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:19,560 feeling. I think this also stems from 586 00:35:19,560 --> 00:35:24,480 like our generation, you were either first or you were last 587 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,920 and you didn't get a trophy for being last. 588 00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:30,040 But then they shifted the generations after us, everyone 589 00:35:30,040 --> 00:35:32,760 gets a trophy. No one cries at field day 590 00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:33,920 because they couldn't run them all. 591 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:36,960 Well, that builds character. That builds character. 592 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,240 So when you give everyone a trophy and you make everyone 593 00:35:39,240 --> 00:35:42,880 feel equal, I'm sorry that fucked it up. 594 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:46,680 Like that fucked it up because now so many people are so 595 00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:48,880 entitled. They're at this point where it's 596 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,560 like, Oh well, it's not that big a deal to me. 597 00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,480 When we were kids, if we went to the park and someone before us 598 00:35:54,480 --> 00:35:56,600 trashed it, we just picked up the trash and cleaned it up. 599 00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,720 Like we just look around like not my problem. 600 00:35:59,720 --> 00:36:03,720 Like the other day I went to like a theme park, like a Six 601 00:36:03,720 --> 00:36:05,760 Flags. It used to be 6 flags, but then 602 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,360 when they bankrupted our state, like bought it and now it's just 603 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:13,400 called Kentucky King. But I went the other day and 604 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:17,160 there was like these three girls and they were probably like 12 605 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,000 or 13 and they all had these matching like UFC fighter shirts 606 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:22,560 on. And like, not a lot of people 607 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,560 know who Sugar Shawn is. So I was just like, hey, sugar 608 00:36:25,560 --> 00:36:27,080 Shawn. And they all just looked at me 609 00:36:27,080 --> 00:36:29,440 like I was dumb as fuck. I'm sorry. 610 00:36:29,560 --> 00:36:33,520 It's hot as hell, like 90° And all three of you all have black 611 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:36,040 T-shirts on that match with his face on it. 612 00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,520 And nobody's going to know that is really so just like they're 613 00:36:39,520 --> 00:36:44,480 like weird, like standoffish attitude just really brought me 614 00:36:44,480 --> 00:36:47,960 back to how weirdly entitled children and kids are these 615 00:36:47,960 --> 00:36:50,480 days. Because even if I was a kid and 616 00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:53,280 like someone my age would have said that to me, I would have at 617 00:36:53,280 --> 00:36:55,120 least smiled. Even if I was shy, I would have 618 00:36:55,120 --> 00:36:58,680 at least smiled or something because I used to like admire 619 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,840 the the people that were like older than me. 620 00:37:01,840 --> 00:37:05,080 I used to respect them. But like that level of respect 621 00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:08,480 is like nowhere to be found in these younger generations. 622 00:37:08,480 --> 00:37:10,160 And I really. Do think? 623 00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:14,480 This stems from like them not building character and seeing 624 00:37:14,480 --> 00:37:16,440 that for one, you're not fucking special. 625 00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:18,680 Like you're either working hard or you're losing. 626 00:37:18,840 --> 00:37:21,320 That's the only two options. Like it's not like, oh, you 627 00:37:21,320 --> 00:37:24,760 showed up so now you get paid or you showed up so we're going to 628 00:37:24,800 --> 00:37:27,240 kiss your ass. No, like you're either in or 629 00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:28,640 you're out. We do not give a fuck. 630 00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:32,120 Like our generation is so much more cutthroat that literally 631 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:35,520 they have to put a disclaimer at the front of Rush Hour now. 632 00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:38,480 I'm sorry. Like in the beginning of the 633 00:37:38,480 --> 00:37:41,640 Rush Hour movie, there's a disclaimer that says that this 634 00:37:41,640 --> 00:37:47,240 movie was created in a time when these jokes and slurs were not 635 00:37:47,240 --> 00:37:52,120 as wildly, like, unacceptable or something because it says a lot 636 00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,680 of things about like Chinese people or random things. 637 00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:58,040 And that movie, I mean, about Americans too. 638 00:37:58,040 --> 00:37:59,240 I mean, they're Chinese in the movie. 639 00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:02,880 So it's like, you know, whatever, but it's like I'm 640 00:38:02,880 --> 00:38:07,560 really fearful for the future generations and how fucking soft 641 00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:12,520 they are because China and like Japan are literally raising 642 00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,320 warriors. Like their kids have cognitive 643 00:38:15,320 --> 00:38:19,640 abilities and hands on skills at like second and third grade that 644 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,920 a literal 12th grader could not complete here. 645 00:38:22,040 --> 00:38:24,120 Hell, some of it I might not be able to do. 646 00:38:24,360 --> 00:38:26,840 I mean, they have them doing everything and they were talking 647 00:38:26,840 --> 00:38:30,600 about that like on TikTok. Like they're literally building 648 00:38:30,600 --> 00:38:34,880 children who can fight bears and you're waiting for someone to. 649 00:38:35,200 --> 00:38:37,840 Text you back. Oh God. 650 00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:41,160 We're cooked on that end. You know, they were like, the US 651 00:38:41,160 --> 00:38:43,680 is going to have a new draft and they were like, good luck. 652 00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,680 These kids are going to tell on you all. 653 00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:48,240 They were like, you can get on a secret OPS mission. 654 00:38:48,240 --> 00:38:50,600 And they're going to be like, yeah, baby, they're over there. 655 00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:55,720 Yeah. Yeah, it's it's true. 656 00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:59,960 It's not the same. And not to mention, I mean how 657 00:38:59,960 --> 00:39:03,160 many of those kids really go outside and play? 658 00:39:03,520 --> 00:39:06,160 I had a flashback a few days ago or I don't even know what it 659 00:39:06,160 --> 00:39:07,760 was. Maybe it was yesterday I had a 660 00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:11,480 random flashback of playing a game, Manhunt, I don't know. 661 00:39:11,640 --> 00:39:14,160 Yeah, we played main hunt on bikes feet. 662 00:39:14,680 --> 00:39:17,520 Everything just like in the neighborhood, I just, I was just 663 00:39:17,520 --> 00:39:22,120 like, I just said, stood there and I was like, whoa, that's 664 00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:25,440 such a random flashback, but it just came up again because it's 665 00:39:25,440 --> 00:39:29,960 like, I wonder if these kids are doing that. 666 00:39:30,240 --> 00:39:35,560 My, my boyfriend went back to, he was in the Poconos, I think 667 00:39:35,880 --> 00:39:38,560 not that long ago.

It's like that's the way they 675 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:06,280 get them to. It's like, oh, you have a bunch 676 00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:12,680 of kids, but they don't suck shit up when their eyes are 677 00:40:12,680 --> 00:40:15,160 glued to a screen.

Like my cousin was talking about 681 00:40:28,120 --> 00:40:31,360 that him and his friends would take like cardboard boxes and 682 00:40:31,360 --> 00:40:35,880 design cities and backdrops for their Ninja Turtles like. 683 00:40:35,960 --> 00:40:38,240 How to use our imagination like it wasn't. 684 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:43,160 It's like opposite now. Now it's like you are looking at 685 00:40:43,160 --> 00:40:46,600 a screen and you're seeing all this other stuff, but without 686 00:40:46,600 --> 00:40:50,520 that screen, it's just you and you have to go inside of 687 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:54,240 yourself and create something from inside. 688 00:40:54,920 --> 00:41:01,440 And that's like that's the foundation I feel like for 689 00:41:02,200 --> 00:41:10,520 creativity and a lot of things just like your world building 690 00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:16,080 and, and play and, and just thinking outside of the box. 691 00:41:16,800 --> 00:41:22,480 I really do feel like COVID was a social experiment to like 692 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:26,440 dehumanize people, separate people and isolate people. 693 00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,880 So that basically in the past, community was such an important 694 00:41:30,880 --> 00:41:33,080 foundation to the human experience. 695 00:41:33,320 --> 00:41:37,080 But I really do think this system that is thriving off of 696 00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:41,080 separation really saw that collectively people were coming 697 00:41:41,080 --> 00:41:45,640 together and they were like, absolutely not, No way. 698 00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:51,080 And now, like the kids who went to high school during COVID and 699 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:56,200 had to do like NIT or home school or whatever, those kids 700 00:41:56,200 --> 00:41:57,800 are getting out of college right now. 701 00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,800 Like they're getting out of college right now and coming 702 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:03,720 into the workforce. And I shit you not, they cannot 703 00:42:03,720 --> 00:42:05,400 look you in the ass when you talk to them. 704 00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:09,320 Like I'm very direct, I'm a very blunt person. 705 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:12,360 I'm a very, I will follow up with you every Wednesday until 706 00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:15,320 you get it to me every fucking Wednesday like clockwork. 707 00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:16,840 Hey, did you get that done? Hey, what's up? 708 00:42:17,040 --> 00:42:19,200 Hey, I'm asking, hey, I'm asking, you know what I mean? 709 00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:23,200 But like they will literally avoid something until it's blown 710 00:42:23,200 --> 00:42:25,240 up. And a lot of them just really 711 00:42:25,240 --> 00:42:26,920 can't have a real conversation with you. 712 00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:32,080 Like you have to engage them and carry the conversation where 713 00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:35,480 they can be interactive in it, but they cannot lead the 714 00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:38,320 conversation, they cannot initiate the conversation. 715 00:42:40,920 --> 00:42:43,560 Yeah, really scary. Yeah, I've noticed that too. 716 00:42:44,040 --> 00:42:49,000 I just feel like. As humans, creativity, play time 717 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:52,400 and just existing with others as like the foundation of this 718 00:42:52,400 --> 00:42:55,760 place. And I really do feel in my heart 719 00:42:56,120 --> 00:42:59,520 the more that I look around, I just don't even know if this is 720 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:02,520 a place I want to have kids. And every time I say that, 721 00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:05,080 Spirit's like just one please, just one, like to the point. 722 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,040 I feel like. I was thinking that and I look 723 00:43:08,040 --> 00:43:11,000 over in this license plate, said one please. 724 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,800 I wish you could see them. I'm like, OK, so like, I'm not 725 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,120 saying I'm not, I'm just saying that I don't like what I'm 726 00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:24,120 seeing and I need to be at a financial space where I can hire 727 00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:26,440 my own fucking teacher to come to the house. 728 00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,960 You know what I mean? I don't want to teach. 729 00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:32,840 I need to hire my own teacher. But like, you know, it's just 730 00:43:32,840 --> 00:43:36,560 really strange because even like teachers are using AI for 731 00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,720 lessons plans. Because I had a friend that was 732 00:43:39,720 --> 00:43:43,320 going into early childhood education and was going through 733 00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,600 college like the last few years, and they have an AI system 734 00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,160 that's for education. The teachers can buy a license 735 00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,520 too. And it legitimately makes 736 00:43:51,520 --> 00:43:54,400 lessons plans. Like, yeah, it's. 737 00:43:55,880 --> 00:44:01,360 Like, that's a lot of the job, the lesson, creating the lesson 738 00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:02,640 plans. I don't know. 739 00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:04,760 I mean, they don't pay them enough as is. 740 00:44:05,400 --> 00:44:08,360 I actually used to work. I was, I worked in a preschool. 741 00:44:10,240 --> 00:44:13,560 It pays. I think it was literally $10.00 742 00:44:13,560 --> 00:44:15,080 an hour. I'm not even kidding. 743 00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:19,040 Yeah, it's awful. And you know that they have to 744 00:44:19,040 --> 00:44:21,000 carry a certain level of insurance. 745 00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,680 I do get that. But you can pay your people 746 00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:25,680 $20.00 an hour to handle these kids. 747 00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:28,680 Yeah, it's too much. You have too many kids there 748 00:44:29,080 --> 00:44:30,880 also. I've seen where people are 749 00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:35,840 charging like 250 to 500 a week. Yeah, yeah, it does make sense. 750 00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:41,160 30 kids in here at 500 a week. Like I'm sorry, somebody's 751 00:44:41,160 --> 00:44:43,280 banking a lot of this money. I don't know. 752 00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:47,880 System is so broken that it literally punishes like working 753 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:52,840 mothers because of the system. And I just feel like until I can 754 00:44:52,840 --> 00:44:58,480 completely tap out of that system, I don't plan on setting 755 00:44:58,480 --> 00:45:00,520 myself up for a generational curse. 756 00:45:00,720 --> 00:45:03,400 Not that children are the curse, but poverty is the curse. 757 00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,560 Struggle, fear and drama and chaos mindset is the curse. 758 00:45:07,760 --> 00:45:12,440 Because I just feel like mothers these days are the most 759 00:45:12,440 --> 00:45:16,480 manipulated sector of society that exist. 760 00:45:16,800 --> 00:45:19,080 Yeah, yeah, I couldn't agree more. 761 00:45:19,080 --> 00:45:25,200 I'd it's not even fathomable to my brain, all of those things 762 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:32,480 and even just just the over stimulation that I feel on a 763 00:45:32,480 --> 00:45:39,120 daily basis without that, like, yeah, it's something would have 764 00:45:39,120 --> 00:45:49,600 to significantly shift because I don't know, I I don't know, it's 765 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:53,400 something would need to change in me in my environment. 766 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:58,120 It just, I I don't know, maybe I would just need to tap into some 767 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:03,360 insane abundance because if not, I don't know, I don't think it's 768 00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:04,280 happening. I don't know. 769 00:46:04,960 --> 00:46:08,760 I love how, like, when our generation is faced with these 770 00:46:08,760 --> 00:46:12,280 questions, we're like, we start stuttering. 771 00:46:12,280 --> 00:46:15,920 We get, yeah, I'm like, I can't breathe all of a sudden. 772 00:46:15,920 --> 00:46:18,160 I'm kidding. But like, seriously though, like 773 00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:21,760 I really do feel like previous generations were just forced 774 00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,240 into motherhood. And like I said, I know I picked 775 00:46:24,240 --> 00:46:27,440 the right timeline because fucking for once, I can be like, 776 00:46:27,440 --> 00:46:29,640 you know what? I'm going to be a single woman. 777 00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:33,160 I don't have to do these things. I don't have to be dependent on 778 00:46:33,160 --> 00:46:35,280 a man. And I think that I've had past 779 00:46:35,280 --> 00:46:39,920 timelines where a man or a family unit controlled my 780 00:46:39,920 --> 00:46:43,400 finances and my freedom. And this lifetime spirit told me 781 00:46:43,400 --> 00:46:46,960 that I signed up to come here and have nothing because I grew 782 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:48,840 up in a trailer, like grew up on food stamps. 783 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:52,200 Like they were like, you came here to have nothing and build 784 00:46:52,200 --> 00:46:55,000 everything so that when you get to the top you can literally 785 00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:58,400 look back down and be like bitch, this mountain is mine and 786 00:46:58,400 --> 00:46:59,480 that. Is like stuck. 787 00:46:59,480 --> 00:47:02,720 With me from when I did like my past life regression of like 788 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,320 seeing all the struggle that I've had in past life because of 789 00:47:06,320 --> 00:47:12,000 family and having just limited finances are being wrapped up in 790 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:15,520 a family unit, whether it was like approval from my father or 791 00:47:15,520 --> 00:47:18,640 a husband this lifetime, I was like, I'm not seeking any 792 00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:21,680 approvals. But you know, I think that what 793 00:47:21,680 --> 00:47:24,400 we're seeing right now, maybe like even with like Nellie and 794 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,600 Ashanti, I don't really think that they're soul mates. 795 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:31,720 I think they're karmic partners, but her being pregnant at 43 796 00:47:31,720 --> 00:47:36,080 with like no intervention is very faded, very, very faded. 797 00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,840 And so I feel like I've always been really big on if it's meant 798 00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,280 to happen, it will happen, not just with pregnancy, but with 799 00:47:42,320 --> 00:47:45,760 anything. I've really always subscribed to 800 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:49,120 that mindset. And so I don't know, I think 801 00:47:49,120 --> 00:47:51,760 that they put too much pressure on us at a very young age to 802 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,320 decide. And at 33, I have no plans of 803 00:47:55,320 --> 00:47:58,200 deciding about it. And, you know, they teach us 804 00:47:58,200 --> 00:48:00,320 like, that's your purpose, though. 805 00:48:00,320 --> 00:48:03,000 Like no, you just need workers for the machine. 806 00:48:03,400 --> 00:48:10,400 I know, I know that's that's the freaky thing too, because it I 807 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,120 saw something about how like people are having less children, 808 00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,560 but also people are living longer and how there's going to 809 00:48:17,560 --> 00:48:22,200 be this very imbalanced thing like in the workforce. 810 00:48:23,160 --> 00:48:26,240 But yeah, I feel like, I agree. I feel like just having the 811 00:48:26,760 --> 00:48:31,360 choice in this lifetime, honestly, for my entire life, I 812 00:48:31,360 --> 00:48:33,440 always said I do not want to have children. 813 00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:36,600 I do not want to have children. I never like people would say 814 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,480 things that I'd be like, Oh yeah, no, it's absolutely not 815 00:48:38,480 --> 00:48:41,200 happening. I think it's stranger when you 816 00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:44,360 get older and you're like, oh, like at some point I'm actually 817 00:48:44,360 --> 00:48:48,200 going to have to know for sure because it's all fun and games 818 00:48:48,200 --> 00:48:51,400 when you're like 18 and you're like, you know, I'm not having 819 00:48:51,400 --> 00:48:52,720 children. What are you talking like or 820 00:48:52,840 --> 00:48:55,520 whatever? Like I, I just feel like as time 821 00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:00,520 goes on, it gets it, it it gets different when you're like, oh, 822 00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:04,240 wow, I might not actually have children. 823 00:49:04,240 --> 00:49:07,280 That's a weird thing to think about. 824 00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:12,480 That's definitely for for all the lives that I was a woman 825 00:49:13,160 --> 00:49:15,800 wasn't the norm. Like this will be a completely 826 00:49:15,800 --> 00:49:19,200 different experience than in this life. 827 00:49:19,200 --> 00:49:22,160 But you know, I'm open. I agree. 828 00:49:22,160 --> 00:49:27,720 Whatever is meant to be. And it's like we just don't 829 00:49:27,720 --> 00:49:29,440 know. We we don't know. 830 00:49:30,800 --> 00:49:32,720 So many things are changing all the time. 831 00:49:33,360 --> 00:49:40,520 I mean, you know, I, we just can't, we can't know for sure 832 00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,280 how we're going to feel. I can't even like, I can't let 833 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,720 alone how I'm going to feel. I can't even let let alone 834 00:49:47,520 --> 00:49:50,960 imagine what the what life is going to be like in like 5 835 00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,000 years. Right, That's fair. 836 00:49:53,920 --> 00:49:57,920 Yeah, that's where I'm at with it because it's like, yeah, I 837 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:03,600 mean, sounds good, but what's really going and honestly, I 838 00:50:03,600 --> 00:50:05,960 think I'm just going to ride out the next four years. 839 00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:11,360 What's so crazy is that the Kentucky governor has like 82% 840 00:50:11,360 --> 00:50:15,960 approval rate to run for 2028 presidency and he's been a great 841 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:21,680 governor here. Like his is just kindness and 842 00:50:21,680 --> 00:50:25,280 he's very pro. What do I want to say? 843 00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,720 He's like, he's very like open, you know what I mean? 844 00:50:29,720 --> 00:50:32,040 He's not, he's like wanting medical marijuana here. 845 00:50:32,040 --> 00:50:37,000 He's open to like resources for the LBGTQ communities. 846 00:50:37,200 --> 00:50:40,920 He's just like very well-rounded and he has a lot of approval 847 00:50:40,920 --> 00:50:43,920 from like all walks of life because he's not one of those 848 00:50:43,920 --> 00:50:47,640 like for profit politicians. He's he's just really not. 849 00:50:47,640 --> 00:50:52,160 So I think that's kind of cool. I personally like just feel like 850 00:50:52,240 --> 00:50:56,760 in this volatile time giving birth in the next 4 years isn't 851 00:50:56,760 --> 00:50:58,720 even in the cards. Like I don't know if I will. 852 00:50:58,720 --> 00:51:01,440 Ever have a kid but the next four years is not in the cards 853 00:51:01,440 --> 00:51:04,400 at all? I just feel like until I see the 854 00:51:04,400 --> 00:51:07,560 state of the world and where we're at, there's just no way. 855 00:51:07,880 --> 00:51:11,560 But, you know, I think that like our childhood was during a 856 00:51:11,560 --> 00:51:14,760 recession and we didn't know there was a recession, you know 857 00:51:14,760 --> 00:51:16,840 what I mean? Like, so I think kids will be 858 00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,400 OK. And there will be a certain 859 00:51:18,400 --> 00:51:22,920 amount of kids that are like that robot robotic stuff is gay 860 00:51:22,920 --> 00:51:25,400 or lame or, you know, they'll be saying their little slander 861 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:27,320 words about it. So I feel like at the end of the 862 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:30,800 day, like kids are going to be who they're supposed to be. 863 00:51:31,240 --> 00:51:35,920 But I do think that we're really bringing in an element where 864 00:51:36,440 --> 00:51:40,920 creativity and following your passion is like, consider just 865 00:51:40,920 --> 00:51:44,440 fucking out there. Like that's the problem where 866 00:51:44,800 --> 00:51:48,360 like in the past, like selling all your belongings and like 867 00:51:48,360 --> 00:51:50,960 backpacking through Europe was kind of normal. 868 00:51:51,280 --> 00:51:56,280 Now it's like they've really tied people down with stuff. 869 00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:01,600 And like, honestly, storage unit, storage units like are 870 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:05,040 everywhere. And it's like, there's this rule 871 00:52:05,040 --> 00:52:07,760 that someone told me that like, don't put it in your attic and 872 00:52:07,760 --> 00:52:10,200 don't put it in your storage unit because you're never going 873 00:52:10,200 --> 00:52:12,200 to look at it again. Yeah. 874 00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:15,000 Ever. And I think that they just 875 00:52:15,000 --> 00:52:18,920 really bogged down this next generation with stuff like they 876 00:52:18,920 --> 00:52:22,440 have no authenticity because they just have stuff like those 877 00:52:22,440 --> 00:52:25,600 fucking touch land hand sanitizers. 878 00:52:25,720 --> 00:52:28,680 I'm not paying $10.00 for a spritzy hand sanitizer. 879 00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:33,040 Yeah. But every 3rd grader has those. 880 00:52:33,800 --> 00:52:35,520 Yeah, it's an awesome brand new stuff. 881 00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,760 So. I wouldn't even know what those 882 00:52:38,760 --> 00:52:42,640 things are if I didn't follow like some influencers that do 883 00:52:42,640 --> 00:52:46,440 like unboxing stuff. But like when I looked those up 884 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:50,920 and saw they were like $10, I was like, what is the point? 885 00:52:51,320 --> 00:52:55,840 Yeah, there's a lot of stuff that it's just stuff like just 886 00:52:55,840 --> 00:53:00,560 stuff that you don't. Eat on the Laboo boos. 887 00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:03,760 Let's talk about those. So those popped up, everybody, 888 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:06,680 by the time this episode comes out, they're all the rave, all 889 00:53:06,680 --> 00:53:08,760 the craze. I think they're possessed. 890 00:53:09,080 --> 00:53:12,280 I think they're like the Pazuzu demon. 891 00:53:12,760 --> 00:53:15,200 They look just like him. Have you seen any comparison or 892 00:53:15,200 --> 00:53:16,520 anything about that on your feed? 893 00:53:16,920 --> 00:53:18,320 No what? What tell me do? 894 00:53:18,600 --> 00:53:20,400 You know what the Labooboo dolls are? 895 00:53:20,920 --> 00:53:24,440 I do, but I can't think of it right now. 896 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:30,000 OK, so here recently there's a man that created these dolls. 897 00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,000 Supposedly they had been out for a while. 898 00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:34,040 I'm going to show you a picture this season. 899 00:53:34,040 --> 00:53:37,640 There's no video. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yes. 900 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:42,880 Basically he created this system where it's like a blind box 901 00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:46,600 system, so there's only so many that release and they release 902 00:53:46,600 --> 00:53:50,520 them at like all weird hours of the night, but it's basically a 903 00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:53,560 blind box. So people are ordering 3 or 4 at 904 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:55,640 a time because they don't know what they're going to get. 905 00:53:55,640 --> 00:53:58,240 And you know, everybody wants the one, the blue one, the pink 906 00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:01,520 one, the purple 1, whatever. Well then the trend shifted and 907 00:54:01,520 --> 00:54:06,040 like tattoo artist and people started like tattooing them and 908 00:54:06,040 --> 00:54:08,520 like tattooing the Lil Boo boo's faces and those were kind of 909 00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:10,120 cool. They put like teeth gems and 910 00:54:10,320 --> 00:54:13,520 face tats on them or whatever. So then it's segued into that 911 00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,640 artistry side where people are customizing them so it's making 912 00:54:16,640 --> 00:54:19,840 them more expensive. Then you can buy like designer 913 00:54:19,840 --> 00:54:22,320 fucking clothes for them. So people are buying like Gucci 914 00:54:22,320 --> 00:54:24,240 and Louis Jean. Guy, I didn't know all of it. 915 00:54:24,520 --> 00:54:26,880 I didn't know all of this. Yeah, it's gotten deep. 916 00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,440 And like the only reason I'm kind of following it is because 917 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:34,040 a bunch of people that I have, I have on my feet or I'm clients 918 00:54:34,040 --> 00:54:38,600 or whatever are buying these. They are 50 to $75.00 out the 919 00:54:38,600 --> 00:54:40,480 box. That's crazy. 920 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:41,720 And you don't know what you're getting. 921 00:54:41,960 --> 00:54:45,880 So this girl was posting about them today that she scored five 922 00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:47,480 of them. So they just keep in mind that's 923 00:54:47,480 --> 00:54:51,640 like $300.00. So they were saying that it's 924 00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,920 the sign of a recession because Beanie Babies were a sign of the 925 00:54:55,920 --> 00:54:57,920 recession. Squishmallows were a sign of 926 00:54:57,920 --> 00:55:00,880 like the pandemic recession. But they're saying that like the 927 00:55:00,880 --> 00:55:04,360 uprising of La Boo Boo is the sign of a depression. 928 00:55:04,560 --> 00:55:07,920 Because when people, when we're in a recession and we're in the 929 00:55:07,920 --> 00:55:11,040 depression or whatever, we're buying stuff to make us happy. 930 00:55:11,040 --> 00:55:13,320 We're trying to fill a void to make us happy. 931 00:55:13,720 --> 00:55:20,000 So these blind boxes feed on scarcity, limiting hidden 932 00:55:20,040 --> 00:55:22,920 agenda. So the guy that created these is 933 00:55:22,920 --> 00:55:27,360 like a Japanese, he's like in his 30s, but now he's already a 934 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,600 billionaire. He's actually went to their 935 00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:33,400 Forbes list over there and he's top 10 billionaire now because 936 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:35,680 of these. So basically there's a demon 937 00:55:35,880 --> 00:55:37,960 called Pazuzu, which I'll show you. 938 00:55:38,320 --> 00:55:40,480 And there's a lot of people on TikTok. 939 00:55:40,480 --> 00:55:43,520 So if you like just Googled that on TikTok that have like broke 940 00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:45,600 it down. But I love that we're talking 941 00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:47,920 about it because I love just like getting people's opinions 942 00:55:47,920 --> 00:55:52,840 about weird things. But Pazuzu is a is a demon and 943 00:55:52,840 --> 00:55:58,040 he was associated with droughts, famines, famines and tearing 944 00:55:58,040 --> 00:56:00,760 storms. And have we not been having all 945 00:56:00,760 --> 00:56:03,200 this? But basically, this is a weird 946 00:56:03,200 --> 00:56:05,040 picture of him. But if you look at his face, 947 00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:08,240 it's just like billaboo. Yeah, it looks. 948 00:56:08,480 --> 00:56:12,520 Yeah, it looks like naked looking so long. 949 00:56:12,520 --> 00:56:16,440 Story short, some people are saying it is connected. 950 00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:18,600 I could. See that for sure? 951 00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:22,760 And so they've broke it down. And then there's Tik Toks that 952 00:56:22,760 --> 00:56:25,880 started going viral of like little kids, you know, where you 953 00:56:25,880 --> 00:56:28,600 can just hear fear in a child's voice. 954 00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:32,360 And like this little girl is like freaking out saying that 955 00:56:32,360 --> 00:56:35,480 she wants to like burn her Lil Boo Boo because it's like 956 00:56:35,720 --> 00:56:38,360 talking to her. There was one person that said 957 00:56:38,360 --> 00:56:42,960 there's cut that it changed eye color and then another person 958 00:56:42,960 --> 00:56:44,920 was talking about like it caught on fire. 959 00:56:44,920 --> 00:56:47,880 So, you know, some people make shit up, but Long story short, 960 00:56:48,600 --> 00:56:50,520 it's like Elf on the Shelf was to me and. 961 00:56:51,160 --> 00:56:54,520 We talked about that last time. Was created and it's it's from 962 00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,760 the Fay realm, right? We talked about that in your 963 00:56:56,760 --> 00:57:00,360 last episode. So this is like that to me 964 00:57:00,400 --> 00:57:04,000 because OK, Elf on the Shelf did not exist in our childhood, but 965 00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,240 now every single person has one or two. 966 00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:08,720 Yeah. This this little Boo Boo thing 967 00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:11,400 did not exist in anyone's reality three months ago. 968 00:57:11,640 --> 00:57:13,120 But yeah. Yeah. 969 00:57:13,120 --> 00:57:16,280 But then I'm hearing like, oh, well, that's been around or, oh, 970 00:57:16,280 --> 00:57:19,480 Bad Bunny had been having those or Rihanna had that. 971 00:57:19,720 --> 00:57:23,000 So basically the guy sent it to a lot of big celebrities, right? 972 00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:25,840 And like how they always do. But that's my favorite thing 973 00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,880 about capitalism is you admire the celebrities who are being 974 00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,800 told what to do. They're not authentic. 975 00:57:32,080 --> 00:57:34,720 They give them this shit for free Wall. 976 00:57:34,760 --> 00:57:40,160 And then we run after and a $75 key chain doll when y'all can't 977 00:57:40,160 --> 00:57:43,280 afford groceries and eggs. I hear about that every day. 978 00:57:43,880 --> 00:57:47,560 Right. It's like the people that that 979 00:57:47,560 --> 00:57:49,920 that was always so interesting to me, like the celebrities that 980 00:57:49,920 --> 00:57:53,560 get everything for free and then they make you think that you 981 00:57:53,560 --> 00:57:56,760 need whatever the product is, but they're not actually buying 982 00:57:56,760 --> 00:57:58,480 the product. But we are. 983 00:57:58,680 --> 00:58:05,480 So that's crazy that that thing is that expensive, no? 984 00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:08,880 Now, like even the custom ones, like the ones that people are 985 00:58:08,880 --> 00:58:11,400 tattooing and putting the clothes and sewing clothes for 986 00:58:11,400 --> 00:58:14,560 them or whatever, they're putting chains and jewelry on 987 00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,280 them. Like it's like a whole thing. 988 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:18,200 I'm. About to go down a crazy rabbit 989 00:58:18,200 --> 00:58:20,080 hole. You're going to have to because 990 00:58:20,080 --> 00:58:22,960 by the time this episode comes out, you're it's going to be 991 00:58:22,960 --> 00:58:24,600 even bigger than it is right now. 992 00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:28,760 But it's something that like it caught my eye and I was like, I 993 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,840 don't like that. And as soon as I said that, then 994 00:58:31,840 --> 00:58:35,920 the Pazuzu started popping up and then the comparison between 995 00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:38,960 the two started popping up and I'm like, wait, why is a 996 00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:44,280 Mesopotamian demonic entity from Babylon coming out right now? 997 00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:50,240 And then you read about it and it and it droughts, famine and 998 00:58:50,240 --> 00:58:52,080 storms like. Everything that's happening 999 00:58:52,080 --> 00:58:53,920 right now. Like you all are doing the 1000 00:58:53,920 --> 00:58:58,040 manifesting for them, like sympathy, this being, and then 1001 00:58:58,040 --> 00:59:01,760 you're giving this guy that created it who's working with 1002 00:59:01,800 --> 00:59:04,000 probably a dark energy of some sort. 1003 00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:06,040 Now he's a billionaire. Perfect. 1004 00:59:06,800 --> 00:59:09,800 And now he's in with the but the other billionaires. 1005 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,760 I did see that the guy who owns Fortnite bought a bunch like 1006 00:59:13,840 --> 00:59:16,800 millions of acres in the rainforest to stop it from being 1007 00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:18,640 logged. I don't know if that's true. 1008 00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:19,760 I'm hoping that it's true. I. 1009 00:59:20,160 --> 00:59:23,840 Hope that is we need like. I've been praying about that. 1010 00:59:25,080 --> 00:59:27,080 I've been praying about that. You know, my friend lives in 1011 00:59:27,080 --> 00:59:31,600 Arizona and their state is trying to sell like 10 million 1012 00:59:31,600 --> 00:59:34,720 acres of public land. Like they're trying to sell 1013 00:59:34,720 --> 00:59:37,400 hiking trails now. Like, I don't know, I get was 1014 00:59:37,400 --> 00:59:40,240 going up to office and everyone was like, call your governor and 1015 00:59:40,240 --> 00:59:42,120 call, call your Councilman or whatever. 1016 00:59:42,120 --> 00:59:45,840 But yeah, they were. It was literally called some 1017 00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:48,800 kind of bill that they were proposing to start selling off 1018 00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:53,840 public recreational parks and camping to public. 1019 00:59:55,160 --> 00:59:57,040 Yeah. You know, we have a really big 1020 00:59:57,400 --> 01:00:00,000 Daniel Boone National Forest in Kentucky. 1021 01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:02,840 And I went there a couple weekends ago and we were in the 1022 01:00:02,840 --> 01:00:06,280 forest and we were driving and there was a sign and it said 50 1023 01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:09,040 acres for sale. Develop developers welcome. 1024 01:00:09,720 --> 01:00:12,360 No. Middle of the fucking National 1025 01:00:12,360 --> 01:00:15,240 Park. But I think that's because, you 1026 01:00:15,240 --> 01:00:19,040 know, a lot of national resorts and parks have like a resort or 1027 01:00:19,040 --> 01:00:21,320 a hotel or something. They're like, I know in Utah 1028 01:00:21,320 --> 01:00:25,920 they do like over like, you know, some of the parks I went 1029 01:00:25,960 --> 01:00:30,000 to had like Zion National Park has restaurants in it and has 1030 01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:33,400 places to stay. And I think that's what it was. 1031 01:00:33,400 --> 01:00:37,680 I think the reason that they're selling it is to bring in 1032 01:00:37,680 --> 01:00:40,200 business more. So like they don't want, they're 1033 01:00:40,200 --> 01:00:42,160 not going to sell it to someone who's trying to put an apartment 1034 01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:43,320 complex in the middle of the park. 1035 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,360 They want to sell it to someone like fucking Jimmy Buffett that 1036 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:50,800 wants to put a resort in a hotel in a restaurant. 1037 01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:52,760 You know what I mean? To attract tourists. 1038 01:00:53,080 --> 01:00:55,680 But yeah, that kind of blew my mind that it said 50 acres for 1039 01:00:55,680 --> 01:00:57,040 sale. Developers welcome. 1040 01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,960 I was like. I'm just right out there in the 1041 01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,560 open that does not. You know, like, I do think 1042 01:01:03,560 --> 01:01:06,560 there's so much shady shit happening, but they said that 1043 01:01:06,560 --> 01:01:10,880 like in the next like 10 years, millennials are set to inherit. 1044 01:01:10,880 --> 01:01:16,760 Like think it's like $7.2 billion in assets from 1045 01:01:17,680 --> 01:01:20,920 grandparents and parents. Really. 1046 01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:23,840 It says the millennial generation is set to be like the 1047 01:01:23,960 --> 01:01:27,280 richest generation, but the problem with them is like they 1048 01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,240 don't have any real life skills and they're selling off the 1049 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,320 family farm or selling off the rental properties or selling 1050 01:01:33,320 --> 01:01:35,800 off. It's like that's how you lose 1051 01:01:35,800 --> 01:01:39,120 generational wealth status. Like the reason our parents have 1052 01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,560 things to leave behind is because they invested their 1053 01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:45,480 money in quality shit, not a $75 La Boo Boo doll. 1054 01:01:45,960 --> 01:01:47,760 Right. It's the families. 1055 01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:50,880 But that's the thing with social media too, and like the extreme 1056 01:01:50,880 --> 01:01:53,560 use, it makes you think that you need this thing now because you 1057 01:01:53,560 --> 01:01:56,000 see everyone having it and you see it trending and you like 1058 01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,680 it's in your face all the time. Also, just being on our phones 1059 01:01:58,680 --> 01:02:00,000 all the time, that wasn't a thing. 1060 01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:03,240 Like I get it. We had, you know, like we had 1061 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,160 the different social medias, but leading up to TikTok and how big 1062 01:02:06,160 --> 01:02:11,000 it got, we weren't like glued to our phone 24/7. 1063 01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:14,800 So I feel like if you're glued to your phone 24/7, you're 1064 01:02:14,800 --> 01:02:17,760 seeing these little Boo boos now you're seeing a bunch of 1065 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:21,160 different videos of it, a bunch of different people having them. 1066 01:02:21,560 --> 01:02:23,640 It's just in your mind more like, oh, I got to get that. 1067 01:02:23,800 --> 01:02:25,760 And then you can log on really quickly. 1068 01:02:25,760 --> 01:02:27,800 Buy it, use your car, put the numbers in. 1069 01:02:27,800 --> 01:02:30,520 It feels like you're not buying anything even though you are. 1070 01:02:30,920 --> 01:02:36,040 It's it's like everything's so quick that I mean, I definitely 1071 01:02:36,040 --> 01:02:39,280 like, I can say for sure I've made purchases that I've felt 1072 01:02:39,280 --> 01:02:42,840 like I had to make online. And then afterwards I was like, 1073 01:02:42,840 --> 01:02:46,480 wait, why? Like I really didn't need that. 1074 01:02:47,360 --> 01:02:53,840 And I have some self-control. So if you just like have none or 1075 01:02:53,840 --> 01:03:00,480 you're, you're very, very easily affected by things that you see 1076 01:03:00,480 --> 01:03:06,120 online or if you're very, very young, it's like, it's like it 1077 01:03:06,160 --> 01:03:09,600 really we're just being influenced 24/7 by what we see 1078 01:03:09,600 --> 01:03:12,160 online. I know, and that's what's crazy 1079 01:03:12,160 --> 01:03:17,320 is because with the Internet and like everything trending and a 1080 01:03:17,320 --> 01:03:20,400 lot of people think like they want to go viral, but like you 1081 01:03:20,400 --> 01:03:24,120 probably really don't want to go viral because the hate and the 1082 01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:26,960 other energies that are going to come to you, the evil eye that 1083 01:03:26,960 --> 01:03:29,960 comes to you through that is not always something that your 1084 01:03:29,960 --> 01:03:34,040 spirit's ready to process. So a lot of people their their 1085 01:03:34,040 --> 01:03:38,080 goal is to go viral and you have so like, how does that influence 1086 01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:41,160 you when people finally are seeing your content for the 1087 01:03:41,160 --> 01:03:42,480 first time, but they don't like it? 1088 01:03:42,760 --> 01:03:43,480 Because you're going. Viral. 1089 01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:48,280 I mean, I've gone, I've seriously felt like the lowest 1090 01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:56,640 of, of feelings that I've felt in a very long time with that 1091 01:03:56,640 --> 01:03:59,040 happening a couple different times. 1092 01:03:59,040 --> 01:04:04,400 And yeah, especially when you're sensitive and you can feel that 1093 01:04:04,400 --> 01:04:07,520 energy and I get it. It's like, OK, there's a part of 1094 01:04:07,520 --> 01:04:10,040 me that understands like energy is just energy. 1095 01:04:10,040 --> 01:04:12,760 And whether it's negative or positive, you can transmute that 1096 01:04:12,760 --> 01:04:16,360 and you could use that. But it's different when it's 1097 01:04:16,480 --> 01:04:22,440 actually happening and you feel it all coming in and it's just, 1098 01:04:23,040 --> 01:04:29,680 it's very overwhelming. And I, yeah, I they would, it's 1099 01:04:29,680 --> 01:04:34,560 very hard for me, for me to handle like influx of energy 1100 01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:38,160 like that. And I think so many people don't 1101 01:04:38,160 --> 01:04:40,960 realize what they're asking for when they're like, oh, I just 1102 01:04:40,960 --> 01:04:44,800 want to go viral or if everyone on this post gave me a dollar or 1103 01:04:44,800 --> 01:04:46,440 whatever. Like, I just don't think people 1104 01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:49,120 know what they're asking for because as a spiritual 1105 01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:53,480 practitioner and someone who literally was invited onto the 1106 01:04:53,480 --> 01:04:57,200 Dumbbond podcast and then was booked solid for like the next 1107 01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:02,040 three years with no gaps, no breaks, no nothing, Yes, the 1108 01:05:02,040 --> 01:05:04,280 money was great. I was paying off my debt. 1109 01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:06,040 I was able to pay off my student loan debt. 1110 01:05:06,280 --> 01:05:08,800 I was able to do so many beautiful things and I don't 1111 01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:13,400 regret doing or putting all that energy into those people. 1112 01:05:13,720 --> 01:05:18,840 But I lost myself in that like not even to the point where like 1113 01:05:18,840 --> 01:05:21,840 my magic wasn't potent. It was where I wasn't using my 1114 01:05:21,840 --> 01:05:26,760 magic for myself anymore. Like I was only living to serve 1115 01:05:26,760 --> 01:05:29,720 and help and breathe and and fix others. 1116 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:33,360 And So what I had to do at the beginning of the year, which is 1117 01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:37,680 kind of like what I want to say, kind of redirected the hype 1118 01:05:37,680 --> 01:05:40,960 because I felt like, oh, I took a step back and everyone was 1119 01:05:40,960 --> 01:05:44,320 like, Oh my gosh, where is she? And then I came back and started 1120 01:05:44,320 --> 01:05:47,800 kind of charging accordingly and people were like nowhere to be 1121 01:05:47,800 --> 01:05:50,160 found. And then I found out that 1122 01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:55,160 Mercury or Spirit or somebody completely disconnected my 1123 01:05:55,160 --> 01:05:58,320 payment processor from my website and a girl. 1124 01:05:58,320 --> 01:06:01,120 Reached out to me and she said. Have you been getting any 1125 01:06:01,120 --> 01:06:03,160 bookings lately? And I was like, I haven't gotten 1126 01:06:03,160 --> 01:06:05,920 a booking in like a week. And she was like, I've tried to 1127 01:06:05,920 --> 01:06:09,240 book on your website twice and it refunded my money both times 1128 01:06:09,680 --> 01:06:11,800 and it never emailed me that there was an issue. 1129 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:13,600 It never emailed me that it was disconnected. 1130 01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:18,080 I got onto the platform, it said Square was still connected. 1131 01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:22,680 I did update my Square password because I've recently updated 1132 01:06:22,680 --> 01:06:25,120 all of my passwords to really hard things. 1133 01:06:25,560 --> 01:06:28,200 So I think that maybe that had something to do with it. 1134 01:06:28,480 --> 01:06:31,680 But it was like literally even when I'm trying to come back 1135 01:06:31,680 --> 01:06:35,920 and, and be in my business spirit is like, no, like you 1136 01:06:35,920 --> 01:06:39,600 need to still chill. And so like the month of June, I 1137 01:06:39,600 --> 01:06:42,240 didn't have any bookings on my website at all. 1138 01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:45,000 And I wasn't sure if it was because it was disconnected or 1139 01:06:45,000 --> 01:06:47,280 like what had happened. Like one booking trickled 1140 01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,320 through in like 30 days, but I have private clients, I have 1141 01:06:50,320 --> 01:06:53,960 Patreon, like, you know, whatever wasn't a big deal. 1142 01:06:54,240 --> 01:06:58,200 But so many people who rely on their small business for 1143 01:06:58,200 --> 01:07:01,000 everything like that would have been soul crushing for them. 1144 01:07:01,400 --> 01:07:05,760 But you know, when I was at my peak years ago and it was really 1145 01:07:05,760 --> 01:07:09,480 just when I say peak, it was like my overworking face, like 1146 01:07:09,480 --> 01:07:12,920 the let me help you face. I realized then that I never 1147 01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:16,960 really wanted to like give up my stability and my day job because 1148 01:07:16,960 --> 01:07:20,800 it provides insurance and a four O 1K in in short term disability 1149 01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:24,120 and shit that a small business isn't given to you unless you're 1150 01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:28,280 paying for it out the wazoo. So with that being said, I was 1151 01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:32,080 just basically like navigating this imposter syndrome of like 1152 01:07:32,080 --> 01:07:36,280 coming back and not reaching the level of like bookings that I 1153 01:07:36,320 --> 01:07:39,240 had walked away from. Yes, I'm getting bookings. 1154 01:07:39,240 --> 01:07:42,400 They're just more aligned. People are are paying me my 1155 01:07:42,400 --> 01:07:45,600 worth and they're more patient where in the past I had to like 1156 01:07:45,640 --> 01:07:48,520 evaluate why everything was so urgent. 1157 01:07:48,760 --> 01:07:50,920 Like, like why if someone decided to book a reading 1158 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:54,000 yesterday or am I on a call with them the very next day? 1159 01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:56,440 Like, you know, like, why is everything so urgent? 1160 01:07:56,440 --> 01:07:58,080 Why am I working for these people? 1161 01:07:58,400 --> 01:08:01,960 And it took a while to like process that because people 1162 01:08:01,960 --> 01:08:05,000 think like, oh, well, they were paying you $100 for a reading 1163 01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:08,320 and that's not good enough. No, an hour of my time is is 1164 01:08:08,320 --> 01:08:11,720 like fucking 10 light years of energy that I have to bring back 1165 01:08:11,720 --> 01:08:13,960 into my body. And then I just gave to you. 1166 01:08:14,280 --> 01:08:17,080 And if I do that three or four times a day, because yes, it's 1167 01:08:17,080 --> 01:08:20,240 only $100 each, it's draining me. 1168 01:08:20,359 --> 01:08:24,640 It's literally beating me into the ground to the point where I 1169 01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:27,640 got like the flu really bad and was like really sick this winter 1170 01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,520 because of it. And so it's just like an 1171 01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:33,680 imposter syndrome of like, be careful what you wish for 1172 01:08:33,680 --> 01:08:35,920 because you might get it. And when you get it, you will 1173 01:08:35,920 --> 01:08:39,560 realize that, yes, they're paying you these beautiful 1174 01:08:39,560 --> 01:08:42,240 prices that you just only dreamed and hoped that someone 1175 01:08:42,240 --> 01:08:46,000 would pay you or this beautiful contract or this invitation or 1176 01:08:46,000 --> 01:08:48,279 whatever it is. And then you get you get it. 1177 01:08:48,640 --> 01:08:51,600 And you're like, wait, this is fucking way more than I was 1178 01:08:51,600 --> 01:08:54,000 expecting. And that's why I feel like so 1179 01:08:54,000 --> 01:08:58,399 many people don't take things like marriage serious anymore. 1180 01:08:58,560 --> 01:09:03,399 Like that was a fucking commitment that even when bad 1181 01:09:03,399 --> 01:09:05,720 things happened within the marriage, and I'm not condoning 1182 01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:08,359 like abuse or anything like that, but I'm saying like 1183 01:09:08,760 --> 01:09:12,080 problem solving and coming together was the norm. 1184 01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:17,520 Not avoidant attachment or isolation or getting 1185 01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:20,840 satisfaction or gratification outside of your marriage all of 1186 01:09:20,840 --> 01:09:25,160 a sudden because grandpa didn't have 500 people that he was 1187 01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:29,560 following that he could message. Or yeah, or dating websites 1188 01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:31,520 apps.

Like that's all I manifest in 1192 01:09:42,439 --> 01:09:46,960 this world is that people start taking pride in their work again 1193 01:09:46,960 --> 01:09:51,279 and start taking pride in their appearance and their actions and 1194 01:09:51,279 --> 01:09:55,360 their relationships and stop fucking sleeping on your gifts 1195 01:09:55,360 --> 01:09:58,120 and then blaming everyone else because your life isn't where 1196 01:09:58,120 --> 01:10:00,840 you want it to be, you know? Yeah, yeah. 1197 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:04,600 I think we really have to prioritize creativity again and 1198 01:10:04,600 --> 01:10:10,160 not shun it as like, oh, some people, like even just me 1199 01:10:10,160 --> 01:10:13,520 putting myself out there as an artist, there's so many people I 1200 01:10:13,520 --> 01:10:17,440 know, friends of mine, people I've met, people I've talked to 1201 01:10:17,440 --> 01:10:23,160 who they were blessed with a gift or more than one gift, and 1202 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:25,920 they just. And I get it. 1203 01:10:25,920 --> 01:10:28,600 I understand the pressure from society where it's like, oh, you 1204 01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:35,160 can't, you can't express that you're not, you're not like keep 1205 01:10:35,520 --> 01:10:39,520 hold that in like don't let the world see that you'll never make 1206 01:10:39,520 --> 01:10:44,920 money off of that. And I feel like just along with 1207 01:10:44,920 --> 01:10:50,000 what you said, also just bringing back really 1208 01:10:50,320 --> 01:10:55,160 prioritizing creativity, especially with children and but 1209 01:10:55,160 --> 01:10:58,400 but maintaining that throughout adulthood because we lose that. 1210 01:10:59,280 --> 01:11:03,520 I was just talking to someone, I forget who I was talking to you, 1211 01:11:03,520 --> 01:11:09,000 but I was talking about how I always really focused on 1212 01:11:09,080 --> 01:11:16,200 maintaining a free spirit and just acceptance that I'm not on 1213 01:11:16,200 --> 01:11:19,360 other people's timelines and I make choices that may be are 1214 01:11:19,600 --> 01:11:24,720 considered weird or or even irresponsible to the rest of 1215 01:11:24,720 --> 01:11:30,080 society. And I feel like I always kind of 1216 01:11:30,680 --> 01:11:33,240 still maintain confidence in myself even through the dark 1217 01:11:33,240 --> 01:11:38,960 times and even at which there's been more of honestly, then then 1218 01:11:38,960 --> 01:11:42,280 then then happy times, like there's been a lot of a lot of 1219 01:11:42,280 --> 01:11:45,480 darkness in that journey. But I feel like I still maintain 1220 01:11:45,480 --> 01:11:50,160 that confidence. But I, I, I was saying to this 1221 01:11:50,160 --> 01:11:53,080 person, I just feel like the last few years, and I think it 1222 01:11:53,080 --> 01:11:59,920 is honestly social media use and seeing like so many, so many 1223 01:11:59,920 --> 01:12:05,000 people even succeeding when they're so when they're like 1224 01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:12,320 17/18/1920 and seeing all these situations where I'm like, man, 1225 01:12:12,680 --> 01:12:18,040 I feel like being on my phone and being so tapped into other 1226 01:12:18,040 --> 01:12:23,280 people's stories and the constant scroll it, it's taking 1227 01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:28,760 away my free spiritedness and, and me and, and really 1228 01:12:28,760 --> 01:12:31,520 comparison is, is the thief of all joy. 1229 01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:35,000 And I feel like when you're constantly on your phone and 1230 01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:38,720 you're seeing other people and how they live and, and you're 1231 01:12:38,720 --> 01:12:41,240 like, oh man, like, why, why aren't I there? 1232 01:12:41,480 --> 01:12:44,080 Why, why can't I have that? I don't understand what am I 1233 01:12:44,080 --> 01:12:49,040 doing wrong? So I think just like also free 1234 01:12:49,440 --> 01:12:53,440 free spiritedness, like freedom, I think that like creativity and 1235 01:12:53,440 --> 01:12:56,040 freedom both go hand in hand. And I feel like those two 1236 01:12:56,040 --> 01:13:00,080 things, it's like without those two things, I just can't be 1237 01:13:00,080 --> 01:13:02,480 here. Like I can't continue to be on 1238 01:13:02,480 --> 01:13:06,040 this earth plane. Whenever I was starting like my 1239 01:13:06,040 --> 01:13:10,360 spiritual boundaries, safety, peace and freedom, we're like, 1240 01:13:10,480 --> 01:13:12,920 that's the only three things I care about in this realm, like 1241 01:13:12,920 --> 01:13:16,880 safety, peace and freedom. Because if I'm safe, I'm not 1242 01:13:16,880 --> 01:13:19,680 worried about the like day-to-day, right? 1243 01:13:19,680 --> 01:13:22,440 Like I'm in a safe place. I got a safe car, I've got new 1244 01:13:22,440 --> 01:13:24,160 tires, whatever the fuck I need to be safe. 1245 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:26,880 I have it. And that really took me away 1246 01:13:26,880 --> 01:13:31,640 from being material conscious. Because as someone who grew up 1247 01:13:31,640 --> 01:13:34,920 in poverty, as someone who grew up with uncertainties and 1248 01:13:34,920 --> 01:13:39,320 certain things, I have developed a lot of confidence and having 1249 01:13:39,320 --> 01:13:43,000 what I need and having what I need for like months, months 1250 01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,360 out, you know, and like being able to do that. 1251 01:13:45,360 --> 01:13:49,200 Like right now, my cats have always, one of them is really 1252 01:13:49,200 --> 01:13:51,200 sensitive. So I switched them to rabbit 1253 01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:54,000 protein because rabbit is something that cats eat in the 1254 01:13:54,000 --> 01:13:55,800 wild. Well, through all this 1255 01:13:55,800 --> 01:13:59,800 uncertainty with the global trade, rabbit is harvested in 1256 01:13:59,800 --> 01:14:04,280 China because they use the fur for textiles and they send the 1257 01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,000 meat to America to be made into pet food because that's not a 1258 01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:12,280 meat that we eat here unless it's haunted in your own 1259 01:14:12,400 --> 01:14:15,160 backyard. So Long story short, I 1260 01:14:15,160 --> 01:14:19,400 cognitively, consciously always and very cognizant of having 1261 01:14:19,400 --> 01:14:22,600 what I need. So I went ahead whenever I knew 1262 01:14:22,600 --> 01:14:26,640 there was like a lot of changes in the global trade, stocked up 1263 01:14:26,640 --> 01:14:28,240 of like four months worth of food. 1264 01:14:28,240 --> 01:14:31,000 Well, one of their foods got discontinued already and the 1265 01:14:31,000 --> 01:14:34,000 other one's out of stock. So I messaged the people who 1266 01:14:34,000 --> 01:14:36,640 make it and I'm like, look, I know it's made in America and I 1267 01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,800 know your resources are coming from China. 1268 01:14:39,160 --> 01:14:43,160 Let me know, are you discontinuing it or is it just 1269 01:14:43,160 --> 01:14:44,720 out of stock and you're going to bring it back? 1270 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:48,440 Because the other one did say like temporary and now it says 1271 01:14:48,440 --> 01:14:50,400 permanent. So I'm like, just prepare. 1272 01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,320 And the lady straight up was like, you're so on point. 1273 01:14:53,680 --> 01:14:57,040 That's exactly what's happening. Our trade deals are, are really 1274 01:14:57,040 --> 01:15:00,280 all over the place right now and and the product supplies 1275 01:15:00,280 --> 01:15:02,960 uncertain, blah, blah, blah. And then she was like, you can 1276 01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:04,400 get it from these other retailers. 1277 01:15:04,400 --> 01:15:05,800 It's just sold out where I get it. 1278 01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:10,840 So Long story short, like hindsight of being prepared is 1279 01:15:10,840 --> 01:15:14,240 not prepping out of fear because I do know if there's a 1280 01:15:14,240 --> 01:15:19,600 catastrophic global event, I don't have the will to be doing 1281 01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:21,320 all that shit that people do in movies. 1282 01:15:21,320 --> 01:15:22,840 I just don't. Riot, I just. 1283 01:15:23,160 --> 01:15:26,200 Don't have that will y'all, so you better just clean sweep me 1284 01:15:26,200 --> 01:15:29,560 out because I don't I don't got the pill this time. 1285 01:15:29,560 --> 01:15:32,600 I've already lived like that. I've already survived jungles 1286 01:15:32,600 --> 01:15:33,760 and shit. I don't got the will in this 1287 01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:35,880 lifetime. So you know I'm very clear with 1288 01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:38,880 tired like what we're going to do and what we're not going to 1289 01:15:38,880 --> 01:15:42,280 do so safety, peace and freedom is like non negotiable. 1290 01:15:42,560 --> 01:15:45,320 I will live a very peaceful long life. 1291 01:15:45,560 --> 01:15:49,280 I will see a lot of things happen in my lifetime, but I'm 1292 01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:51,160 not going to be directly affected. 1293 01:15:51,160 --> 01:15:54,200 And I know that's not like the, the mindset that I'm trying to 1294 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:56,680 say like, oh, everyone else will suffer and I'll be OK. 1295 01:15:56,680 --> 01:16:00,560 But I don't subscribe to this doom and gloom. 1296 01:16:00,920 --> 01:16:03,840 Oh, the future is going to be run by robots and your job's 1297 01:16:03,840 --> 01:16:05,600 going to be replaced. No, if you're a creative, 1298 01:16:05,600 --> 01:16:08,000 authentic and unique, your job ain't going to be replaced. 1299 01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:13,680 It's going to be conformative, robotic, everyone does the same 1300 01:16:13,680 --> 01:16:16,640 thing, will be replaced. So yes, right now you should be 1301 01:16:16,640 --> 01:16:18,400 creative and Start learning a new skill. 1302 01:16:18,680 --> 01:16:21,800 Plumbers ain't going to be replaced by AI fucking, you 1303 01:16:21,800 --> 01:16:25,560 know, artists, musicians. Yeah, there will be AI generated 1304 01:16:25,560 --> 01:16:28,720 content, but that doesn't mean it's going to replace real 1305 01:16:28,720 --> 01:16:30,560 artists. Like they can't go perform 1306 01:16:30,880 --> 01:16:34,480 stadiums and cry on stage and tell me how much this concert 1307 01:16:34,480 --> 01:16:36,040 means to them. Right. 1308 01:16:36,360 --> 01:16:40,640 Sorry like they say that shit but yes like replace the basic 1309 01:16:40,640 --> 01:16:43,800 jobs like that like the fucking orders. 1310 01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,720 And honestly like servers are so underpaid having robotic servers 1311 01:16:47,720 --> 01:16:50,160 sign them up, sign me up because of end of the day. 1312 01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:54,640 Like you all are exploiting that level of worker anyways. 1313 01:16:55,440 --> 01:16:57,920 But like I saw something that said, I always dreamed that when 1314 01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:02,560 AI took over that it would clean and do laundry and take care of 1315 01:17:02,560 --> 01:17:06,800 the house for me so I had more time to write and read and and 1316 01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:10,280 make poetry and music. It said I don't want AI to do 1317 01:17:10,280 --> 01:17:13,200 the poetry and the music, so then I have to do the cleaning. 1318 01:17:13,600 --> 01:17:14,920 Right. No, Oh my gosh. 1319 01:17:15,440 --> 01:17:18,720 Exactly. Like, like I think that there is 1320 01:17:18,760 --> 01:17:26,520 a bright future with things. But yeah, keep us in in the, in 1321 01:17:26,520 --> 01:17:30,600 the creative and, and artistic jobs. 1322 01:17:30,600 --> 01:17:37,200 And and yeah, like you said, if you see a robot on stage, it's 1323 01:17:37,200 --> 01:17:41,360 not going to hit as hard. Like it's not even I've heard. 1324 01:17:41,480 --> 01:17:45,080 I actually haven't I heard AI generated music. 1325 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:52,960 I saw this girl who it's a crazy story, but like there's a an AI 1326 01:17:52,960 --> 01:17:56,160 generated artist under her name now on Spotify. 1327 01:17:56,760 --> 01:18:02,440 And I listened to one of the songs and I was like, this is 1328 01:18:02,440 --> 01:18:05,920 like actually good. But it if you're, if you have 1329 01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:11,600 discernment, it's missing something, it's missing that 1330 01:18:11,800 --> 01:18:16,320 thing, it's missing that soul. There's the spirit behind it, 1331 01:18:17,840 --> 01:18:20,640 so. I feel like, you know, people 1332 01:18:20,640 --> 01:18:22,880 have always sold themselves short. 1333 01:18:23,440 --> 01:18:26,320 And if you're a creative and you're selling yourself short, 1334 01:18:26,320 --> 01:18:27,600 you're going to learn the hard way. 1335 01:18:27,600 --> 01:18:31,960 You know, I think doing what we're doing and staying focused 1336 01:18:31,960 --> 01:18:35,120 on your own individual journey and progress is so important. 1337 01:18:35,560 --> 01:18:38,880 And I do feel like the Internet was created so you can be 1338 01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:41,200 distracted by other people's perceived. 1339 01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:45,600 Success, but there are literally people who rent yachts, rent 1340 01:18:45,600 --> 01:18:49,840 cars, lease shit, go get an Airbnb for a month and make 1341 01:18:49,840 --> 01:18:54,440 content in it, and then over the next year post that content and 1342 01:18:54,440 --> 01:18:56,400 yeah wow. And they changed outfits 100 1343 01:18:56,400 --> 01:18:58,720 times. Like I've learned from a lot of 1344 01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:02,800 people that do content, they have a film day, they bring 5 1345 01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:06,240 outfits, they go to five locations and they film all day. 1346 01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,800 And then guess what they do? They ugly cry in their sweats 1347 01:19:09,800 --> 01:19:12,600 and eat popcorn the other two months. 1348 01:19:12,920 --> 01:19:14,760 Yeah.
