Welcome back you all to another episode of Lick It Like a
Lollipop. This week we have Ninja, and
Ninja has been featured on my Patreon and we've collaborated
in the past. So thank you for coming on to
the podcast and how are you doing?
Doing great. Yeah, thanks for having me on,
Paige. I appreciate it.
Doing good. You know, just getting ready for
Apocalypse Summer 2025. Yeah, there's a lot going on.
There's a lot of tension. I try to keep it pretty chill
because I just get so easily impacted by stress that like it
drains me and I'm not good to be able to do my spiritual purpose
if I'm drained. Yeah, no, I hear you.
It's a good time to be balanced. It's a good time to just pay
attention to your immediate surroundings.
And like I, I peeked out the, you know, I peeked out.
I was, I was literally indoors all day.
I peeked out earlier, you know, I heard the birds, I saw the
trees swaying, I saw the silvery blue sky.
And I was like, alright, well, we're, we're here.
We're OK, we're doing alright. So you just got to take it one
day at a time. Yeah, that's how I feel.
I think at the end of the day, like life is just going to be
life. And I do believe that like every
civilization since the beginning of time has always thought that
it was the end of time. Oh yeah, it's a, it's most
certainly like, it seems like it's a cycle or a loop that the
collective goes through like every hundred years or every 200
years. And you know, if you take a look
at like Tartarian civilizations, Atlantis, you know, you'll see
that there's a build up and then a breakdown and then a build up
again. So this wouldn't be the first
time that the human collective has been here, and it won't be
the last. Yeah, there's so much like
tension and I feel like that's how they keep everyone like in
those cycles and then those karmic loops is like with that
tension. Oh yeah, the karma groups are
real. That's why I like, nowadays, for
me, I don't even really like to. I try not to subscribe to the
idea of karma. And it is sometimes it's hard
for me to believe that karma is real because there's so much
evil in the world that doesn't really balance the scales.
And it just seems like there's so much evil that gets away with
doing what they do. And there's so many good people
out there and innocent people who don't get justice.
It's like it's hard for me to believe that there's karma.
So I do agree with you. I think there is like a like,
maybe like a spiritual hierarchy that creates the concept of
karma so we can continue to feed into the karmic will.
Yeah, I could see that. I feel like, you know, anything
that's revealed to us, like it's for us to like integrated into
our own life. Yeah, yeah, everything, all of
our experiences here. I think the ultimate way to like
break free is like to completely not play by the rules when it
comes to like that karmic, that karmic loop or the OR the system
that they want us to be a part of, you know?
Yeah. And I think karma in itself,
like I think that like not labeling it good or bad is like
kind of how I look at karma. I think it is like a balanced
system that like you're going to pay back in what you've taken
from the system or if you're giving and giving, like
eventually it does come back around.
That's kind of how I feel about it.
Like I don't really know. Like, I don't subscribe to like,
oh, I'm just unlucky and all this bad stuff happens to me.
Or, you know, I have like, limiting beliefs.
Like, I've seen people really draw in limiting situations from
their belief systems. And I really do think it just
boils down to like what you believe will happen does
manifest in some way. Yeah, that's definitely a theory
that I've kind of meditated on a lot, even applying that to like
the afterlife. And that's like, that's
literally a conversation that like me and my fiance were
having like the other night is what if what you believe your
afterlife is, is what it is? You know, like if you believe in
heaven and that's you have an idea of what heaven is and how
it functions and you're, and you believe you're deserving of it,
that that could be that afterlife you manifest or, you
know, it could very well be that.
You know, there's a book by Mark Booth called the Secret History
of the World. And, and he was an honorary
member of, I believe it was the Knights Templar.
So he wasn't in, but he was close.
So he was allowed to disclose the information he disclosed.
How true it is, I'm not sure, but it is a fascinating read.
It's called The Secret History of the World by Mark Booth.
And in that book he kind of touches on that subject of mind
was first. So people say mind over matter,
matter over mind. What came first?
You know, was it physics? Was it things we can see and you
know, smell, touch, taste? Or was it the thought and his
belief of what he learned from the circles of people that he
was around was that everything started in the mental clean 1st
And we manifest those things. If we subscribe to those
thoughts enough, that's what our reality becomes.
And just like we can create our reality based on our thought
patterns, we could also manifest what comes afterlife based on
that as well. You know, I like that.
Because. Introducing new perceptions of
the afterlife is, I think, a way that, like, humans kind of cope
with death because we're so focused on the afterlife for
some reason. And I think a lot of it is like,
how present can you be in the moment to live like a fulfilling
life so that, you know, your afterlife is equally abundant?
I would think, You know what I mean?
Like, I really do think that when people are just like, cruel
in this life that they will be punished.
But I'm not saying that like, they go to a place like that's
called hell, you know what I mean?
I feel like sometimes on earth it can be like heaven or hell.
Yeah, at any given moment for sure.
And I do believe that everything that you put out, you come, you
get back tenfold. And I, I, I feel like that's
accurate because before I had my awakening, I was definitely, I
was definitely kind of like an NPC.
Like, I hate to admit it, I don't think I was destined to be
1. I think some people are born
NPCS and they just die NPCS and they're just like a, a number in
the system. But before I had my awakening, I
did a bunch of dumb shit and after, you know, I went down the
rabbit hole. Mushrooms DMT and I'm, I'm not
advocating for people to take that route.
You can certainly have an awakening without
hallucinogenics, but for me, mushrooms made me very aware of
the the bad things I was doing. Or when I say bad, I guess I
mean destructive because that duality of creation and
destruction is always there. And it's, it's either you're,
you're either choose like you said it, it can be heaven or
hell at any moment. Heaven and hell also creation
and destruction, love and hate. It's that duality, that yin and
that Yang that supports each other for each other to exist.
And mushrooms made me very, very aware of, I guess, the
destructive patterns in my life. And I realized I felt a lot of
pain for like, what I caused other people.
And that made me realize, like, what if when you do get to the
other side, if you don't find the forgiveness in your heart to
forgive other people, to forgive yourself, to reach out and
apologize for the things that you did, if you don't find the
opportunity to make those amends while you're alive, that's
probably what hell is. Because like you, you come over
to the ether and you have all those unresolved issues and all
those unresolved, you know, problems that you never made
peace with. And then you kind of have to
like, coexist with it. And to me, I'm like, damn that
that could be what hell is. I feel like definitely
unfinished business and things unsaid could definitely be like
your own personal hell, you know what I mean?
Like so many people like live in like the regret of certain
things. And I think that's how people
create their own limitations even just in this life.
And I also feel like, you know, whenever a spirit is like
trapped here, that that is due to some unfinished business.
Although I don't work with like earthbound, like spirits like
that, you know, they definitely exist, of course, but it's just
really interesting how the soul can like be bound and determined
to experience like certain situations, you know what I
mean? Yeah, absolutely.
I don't think I've ever had the the ability to communicate with
beings that have crossed over either.
There was a very short window of time and it was actually when I
met my partner, like right before COVID happened that we
were able to communicate with a little girl who was trapped in,
in her in her mother's house. And we set her free and then we
ended up finding out that she had a sister who was trafficked
to Murfreesboro, TN. No, they're both from Murfrees.
They're both from Murfrees. OK.
So they were both from Murfreesboro and then not?
Murfreesboro, they were just originally from.
They were from somewhere like National.
Area somewhere like. That yeah.
So like, it could have been Franklin, it could have been
Nashville, but they were from like the Tennessee area.
And her sister was actually, I guess, trafficked to Philly,
right? Is that what we discovered?
Yeah. So we discovered all those
things back in 2020. And then when we visited
Struggle Jennings and Caitlin Curtis in Nashville in 2022, we
found a necklace out there. And that necklace is basically
like a key to communicate and we seldom wear it.
So that was definitely a trippy experience.
And that was probably the closest thing I think I've ever
experienced with communicating with like a being from the other
side. I mean, I definitely communicate
with like spirits that have crossed over, but not the
spirits who are stuck here. Like those they're earthbound
spirits is like a little different.
But I mean, I can speak the spirits that have crossed over.
Like that's kind of what I do for my business really.
Like. Is communicate with spirit, but
I personally don't work with earthbound spirits that are like
trapped or suck here because it's just not really my niche of
spirits that I wanted to work with.
Like I really want to help people heal through my spiritual
work. And like, although that's a
different form of healing, it's just like it's way heavier, you
know, like the story, you just like spoke on super heavy stuff,
you know, like that it takes a special person to be able to
want to do that all the time, you know?
But whenever I work with spirits that have like already crossed
over, it's a different energy. And normally they're in a really
like good space if they're going to come through in a session,
especially like for a client or something, just because like
they have to be ready for that conversation.
So like the client, everyone you know.
Yeah, that makes sense. Well, I mean, when you put it
into that perspective, there are, there's definitely a
difference between earthbound spirits and spirits that already
crossed all over. So when you say earthbound
spirits, you're talking about the spirits that are like in the
in between, like the ones that are not aware that they died.
Yeah, like spirits that are stuck here like what we would
call it like a ghost or, you know, like a like a.
Right. Oh, it's.
Right. Like that's what I mean.
That's what I would think that like is what it would be labeled
as. Yeah, I don't think I'd be able
to do that because even the little bit of time that we had
that experience with, I guess that that those little girls
were well heard. Their names were Goldie and
Blondie and Goldie was a earthbound spirit.
We actually set her free, which was beautiful.
That's. Nice.
Yeah, That's really intense. Yeah.
I mean, I do know that like
there are people that like mediums or people that go to
like homes or houses that have earthbound spirits or trapped
spirits and like help to free them or remove them or, you
know, whatever. But I know like sometimes like
that could be probably really dangerous depending on what type
of entity or spirit, you know what I mean, that it is so like
obviously like a child's spirit or something is a little
different, but you never know. You never know why an earthbound
spirit is like sticking around in my opinion.
And sometimes they don't want to leave, you know what I mean?
Have you seen Constantine with Keanu Reeves?
I'm like really bad about watching movies right now and
though I haven't, I don't think I even like if I if I don't
know, it's like sometimes I'll sit down to watch something, I
think I haven't seen it, and then I'll be like, oh shit, I've
seen this before, Like my memory for things are bad.
But no, I don't think I've seen it.
Yeah, it was, it came out like 20 years ago.
It came out I think around like 2004, 2003, something like that.
Maybe even before that absolutely phenomenal movie.
Like probably it might be like top five for me.
And and I'm not a big movie guy either.
Like I have, I have no patience to watch movies, but that movie
I could see over and over again because I think, I think Keanu
Reeves is, you know, these, these sees, he's up there.
He knows things amazing. You know, he was the main face
for the Matrix series. And they tell us the truth
through movies. They use Hollywood as a means of
telling us things with with and they fabricate it by calling it
entertainment. But in the Matrix, there's a guy
who is dead and he was an alcoholic.
He overdosed on alcohol and he died as an alcoholic.
So when he died, when he crossed over, he was still bound to
something earthly, which was drinking alcohol, which also we
know as a spirit. And there was a scene in the
movie where in the afterlife, this guy was in a liquor store.
He took a bottle off the shelf and he tried to open it up and
drink it, but he couldn't. So then he broke it.
And then he was like struggling. He was literally struggling just
to get like a drop of it out of the bottle.
And that was, I think that was their way of telling us what
you're going to experience if you are still bound to earthly
things, like if it's, if it's gluttony, if it's lust, if it's
alcohol, like things that you can only do as a human in the
earthly plane, which I guess would fall under like the seven
deadly sins. So if you're still bound to one
of the seven deadly sins, when you crossover and you're
unaware, if you're unaware that you crossed over, you're still
going to be like reaching for that food or, you know, reaching
for that bottle and you'll never be able to satiate that.
And that could be like hell in itself too.
And that could last forever too. So that's how I think.
I think that's how some souls get trapped down here too.
Yeah. I mean, that makes a lot of
sense because honestly, I feel like the more that you get to
know yourself and like your soul, the more that you really
understand, like the things that you're drawn to or the things
you're addicted to or the things that you, you know, are
connected to even. And I feel like it all plays
with the past life connections to, you know, your soul's
blueprint to like what you're here to learn, what you're here
to grow in. And I think all of that, like,
feeds into like a big will of life, you know what I mean?
Of some sort. Yeah, I think, I think using the
term wheel, it would be pretty accurate.
That's how some people describe like the Akashic records is it
looks like a like a wheel. Yeah.
I think that's why I think that's why the Mayans too, like
if you look at like the Mayans and a lot of their, a lot of
their symbols, a lot of it had to do with like wheels.
Yeah, and, you know, wheels, I feel like just like overall,
just like the will of fortune in the tarot is really about, you
know, like luck and chance and like shifting energies.
And I feel like life is constantly shifting.
You know what I mean? Like no matter if like, you're
having a really good day today, couple weeks from now something
else happens, couple days from now, something else, you know,
it's like always shifting. It is like a will of life.
It is, yeah. And I mean, you could, you could
call that a spiral too, you know, So I mean like the wheel
could be. The wheel could be a spiral.
Maybe the spiral is a wheel. Maybe they're one in the same
like that's what that's what like a lot of Native American
proverb kind of points to is that life is like a spiral.
It's not so much I guess linear. It's, it's not like a straight
line like some people look at like they're the timeline of
their life as like a straight line, but it's really like a
spiral. And you're always going to come
back to these places where you're forced to feel these
uncomfortable feelings. And they these feelings have
ties to things that happened in your childhood.
It could be family trauma that's passed down literally through
your blood, through your cells. And I think that could be
another way of liberating yourself from the karmic wheel
is when you get to those checkpoints, it's not allowing
yourself to respond the way that you did maybe in the past.
And I know that's something I've struggled with a lot since
COVID. There's been a lot of things
that were related to my past and to my childhood and to trauma
that I experienced. And I can say, thankfully, I've
conquered about 90% of them at this point.
So I'm I'm really happy about that.
You know, that's awesome. I think everyone really started
going through a really the grand awakening.
You know what I mean? Like COVID was the grand
awakening when people realized that like everything can change
in the blink of your eyes. Wasn't it COVID?
COVID was COVID was like a blessing in in disguise though.
But have you heard of those theories of that the world ended
in 2020 and that we're living in like some type of like alternate
reality right now? You know, I like don't know, but
I do know that like I believe that the Mandela Effects, like
there are a lot of things that have changed.
They just feel like for sure different, you know what I mean?
Like the Fruit of the Loom one, because I remember the
cornucopia. Like, I remember it, I remember
having those cotton white meters in high school that we would,
you know, paint and all this stuff for like Spirit Day and it
straight up had the cornucopia. Do you think that?
Do you think that it's more of like a a spiritual thing, like
these things are actually changing and we're just existing
in like a post timeline where we kind of remember fragments of
it? Or do you think that maybe
things are less whimsical and more material and they know most
people just don't have a lot of older stuff in their house to
remember? So because the powers that be
control these corporations, they control their websites, they
control the products that they continue to distribute to the
public, they change the logos. Do you think they're just
fucking with us and just doing this on purpose just to see how
far removed they can take us from like literally what the
world was like just 20 years ago?
Or or do you think it really is kind of more trippy, like Nah,
like things are actually moving. Like we like as a collective,
like we go to bed at night, something changes, something
moves while we're like asleep. You know what I mean?
Like which? On the fence of both of those
concepts, I'm on the fence of they're just fucking with us to
see how far they can fuck with us.
And then I'm also on the fence of like, no, we also have really
skipped timelines and like, things really are splitting off
and different, you know what I mean?
Because if you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be
sitting here right now recording for a podcast talking about
quantum leaping and, you know, timeline jumps, I would have
been like, yeah, you're crazy. You know what I mean?
So like I've already witnessed with my own two eyes timeline
jumps that like where the darkness or like the devil, if
you will, had a hold of me and my potential was being squashed
and I wasn't living up to my full potential.
And then, you know, something about it was about 10-8 to 10
years ago, things really started to turn on.
And then the last like 5 years I've just been living my whole
dream, you know what I mean? So like I feel like timeline
shifts happen when you're putting in the work to heal.
And I think also the more that you heal and open up your third
eye and like open up your perception, I feel like the more
that you can see things. So like maybe they were always
changing things or maybe the timeline has always been
shifting. But either way, I don't believe
a lot of what I'm told is true. And I feel like I have so much
more expansive knowledge that can't really be like rolled into
like, oh, I learned that somewhere.
You know what I mean? It's just like I know it.
Yeah, that that I know it feeling that's that's definitely
that, you know, that's what some people believe is you accessing
wisdom from like the Akashic records, right?
Right. Yeah, and, and I gotta, I gotta
agree. I I think especially since
COVID, something definitely feels off.
Like, I mean, obviously the skies don't look the same.
Everybody knows that. But that's more of like, you
know, we know obviously those jet planes are up in the sky and
they're just smothering the sky with, you know, all kinds of
crap and the sky is not as blue anymore.
That's honestly Paige, that's like one of the things that
bothers me. I'm not even kidding you, every
single day it like, and I'm not trying to like be negative.
It just like it like breaks my heart a little bit, but then I
move on and then I see like the beautiful things and you know, I
focus on the things that I'm thankful for.
But like every day, it breaks my heart just a little bit when I
look outside and I'm just like, man, there we I have not seen a
blue sky since COVID. Honestly, maybe a few times,
like a few times, maybe maybe less than like 30 times.
I can actually sit there and remember walking out and being
like, man, that's a blue sky. But I don't, I don't know what.
I'm not sure what that's about. I mean, it's it's probably like
the chemtrails, but like the sun also looks white.
And like when I'm driving to work in the day, like the early
afternoon, it is so blinding. Like, I'll be driving to work
and I'm like, damn, like, this sun is not the same sun I
remember growing up seeing. And like, even like Andre 3000
from Outkast, he put an album out two years ago called New
Blue Sun. So I think even he was trying to
kind of tell us, like, hey, that sun up in the sky, that we might
not be seeing the same sun. We might be in a different
timeline with a different sun. Yeah, I think honestly, they're
doing a lot of that to maybe even block the like UFO
extraterrestrial situation, you know what I mean?
Like I truly think that there is some weather modification on top
of just the smoke and the wildfires and all that stuff.
I feel like some of that has been man made and very much been
a cover up. Like, I think that we're being
visited by a lot of extraterrestrial energies and
they really don't want us to know that.
And I just found out that in Arizona, I guess their governor
or like whoever has decided that they might as well sell like
15,000,000 acres of public land. And I'm talking like these are
like historic landmarks and like trails that I've hiked in
Sedona. And they're not like selling all
of this, which is crazy. Like I don't know what timeline
we're on right now, but it's fucking wild because I really do
feel like they were being visited by other intelligence
and that we're like losing touch with ourselves through
technology as well. I think that a lot of people are
very ungrounded and very lost and like really not in a
balanced space. And I think that's why we're
being like contacted from other places because I really do feel
like we are just, we're very self-destructive as humans
overall. That reminds me of have you seen
that page on I don't know if it's Instagram and TikTok, but
it's like these two guys that dress up like blue aliens and
they just talk about humans. Oh my God, I got to send it to
you. It's so funny, but they're,
they're just like they, you know, they, they put their
costumes on and they're just like, like there was this one
video today where they're talking about poison.
They're like, yeah. They just, it's like they have
like a like a mock, like a mock podcast.
And they're like, yeah, let's talk about poison today.
Yeah. How about poison?
Humans really love poison, don't they?
I know they poison their water. They poison their skies.
Yeah. They put, they even put like
color in their food and they just love poison, huh?
Yeah. It's like, it's almost like they
want to die. Seriously.
It's really like humans just want to die.
It's, it's so funny how they just kind of pick those, those,
those, you know, little elements of the human behavior nowadays
that people literally just go to the Walmart and buy, you know,
Nabisco cookies and, you know, Pepsi and Coke and they have no
clue what type of chemicals they're consuming.
And I think you have a good point.
The food and the media that we're consuming could be
lowering, lowering our vibration so much that it's making it
easier for malevolent beings to come into contact and siphon our
energy. Crazy for real.
And honestly, I wonder like how infiltrated the government
really is with beings that are not of human nature.
It's got to be deep and it's got to go back a while.
And I think everything that we're seeing happen right now,
like is just like a big fucking distraction from something else.
Like all this World War three shit that they're talking about
and you know, it's so crazy. Like a week ago, every like 2
weeks ago, everybody was talking about the tweets that Elon sent
out about Trump. And then a week later the focus
is on all these riots across the country about ICE.
And then a week later now we're talking about Iran and Israel
and all that stuff. It's so gnarly how like, just
like this timeline is crazy right now.
Like, every, like, literally not even every week, like every four
to five days, like, the focus shifts.
Yeah. And then we just completely
forget. We just completely forget.
Like, what were we? What were hundreds of thousands
of people rioting about a week ago?
Oh, yeah, that was a week ago. Now we're talking about this.
Like we're so distracted by the Black Mirror.
It, it's, it's it's wild. And like, I am too.
Like I am too. I'm not even like for anyone
listening who thinks I'm talking about people other than myself,
Nope, I'm distracted too. I'm under the spell too.
I'm just maybe a little bit more aware of it than most people,
but it's crazy. Yeah, lately, like it's kind of
sucked me in as well. Like because it's hard not to
pay attention to it. It's like emotional whiplash
constantly. Like it's like a constant back
and forth motion of like constant information.
Yeah, it's definitely, it's definitely information is good
to a certain extent, but I think that's why the Apple, the, the,
the, the forbidden knowledge, if you will.
I think that's what we're getting.
I think forbidden knowledge might be like too much
information. And I think we're just getting
too much information. Like there's no, there's no
reason that like, you know, somebody in Kentucky should know
that a bus in Philly caught on fire.
Like, like, it's not necessary, you know, like, there's just
some things we probably don't have to know.
Like our ancestors probably knew as much of what was going on as
like their immediate surroundings, and that probably
had them more tuned in and present in the moment.
And they probably lived a life that was more present because of
that. Well, don't you think that's the
purpose of all of that combination is to like, keep
people distracted from their own internal world, their home life,
and their own personal surroundings?
Because that's how you continue to force feed people
information, sell them shit they don't need, and keep people I
swear like in debt and like reaching for happiness outside
of themselves is to like constantly keep them in
emotional whiplash. Yeah, yeah, Emotional whiplash.
That's definitely the verbatim I think.
Breaks down perfectly what I think they're using technology
for. Yeah.
And it wasn't always like that. You know what I mean?
Like I'm, I'm, you know, I'm in my 30s.
I remember the Myspace era. Yeah, I love that.
Were you on the Internet around that time?
Oh my gosh, I was on, I was on Myspace.
I was on something called Vampire Freaks.
So I was on Vampire Freaks and like Zynga and Live Journal, you
know, dramatic, like all kinds of different social media like.
My God, you had a Zynga. Yes, I had a Zynga.
You're like, wow, you dude, you just, you just like a hole just
opened up next to me and I just fell down and like the rabbit
was like, hey, remember this shit?
Yeah. I have friends that I made off
of Zynga that I'm still fucking in touch with.
Yeah, I love that. You know, I have Internet
friends that I made a long time ago on like Vampire Freaks and
Myspace and stuff that I'm still friends with.
That's crazy. Vampire freaks.
Was that like? Was that like, do you remember
pot space? No.
OK, they made a Myspace for like stoners.
This was like 2008 ish. But was it?
Was it like that? Was it like a Myspace for people
that were more into like gothic stuff?
Gothic. But it was like, it was kind of
just like, I don't even know how to explain it, but it was
basically for Gothic kids are alternative people.
But it was kind of like a ranking, like one through 10.
And you got these points. And I was actually able to like,
work myself up on the leaderboard and like be like a
top girl by like, basically just being really nice and like
hacking the system. It was basically like when being
mean to people on the Internet was pretty normal and like just
kind of like not being mean, but just kind of like, I don't know,
like not friendly, I guess. It was like a website for emo
kids and some of them were like antisocial and like would be
really weird. So like, I just was like really
nice to everyone. So I was able to get a lot of
points because people liked me and like they had these little
groups that you could like get on there and like create art or
like collaborate with people. It was kind of like pre, like
Suicide Girls. So like a lot of like Gothic
girls that went on to be Suicide Girls were on there and stuff.
So it was like a really interesting crowd of people
really. But I was too young to be on the
website, but I was on there anyway.
So it's crazy I wasn't supposed to be on there.
I mean, if you were from our time period and you were on the
Internet, you already shouldn't have been on the Internet, I
said. All right.
I remember the first time I went into an AOL chat room.
It was 2004 and I went to a Tupac chat room because they
will used to have like different chat rooms based.
You could go into like the Tupac chat room, Britney Spears chat
room In Sync DMX, you know, whatever, whatever artist you
were into. And I went into Tupac 1 and I
this guy started like I am in me, which that's what we call
DMS back and they were instant messages.
I know you I know you know that. And he was like, OK, so I'm 14
and he's like, hey, he's like, he's like, are you packing?
And I'm like 14 years old? I'm like packing.
I'm like, what do you mean packing?
And he's like, do you have a gun?
And I'm like 14 talking to the stranger.
Now, mind you, he's probably like my age.
And he probably thinks he's like, you know, a little
gangster teenager. He probably listens to like Paul
Wall and Chamillionaire and, and Mike Jones and I'm, and I'm over
here getting nervous, Paige, because I'm like, you know, I'm
being, I'm homeschooled at the moment.
So I'm like super disconnected from the world for like 4 years.
And I'm finally online at 14. This is 2004 and this guy's
asking me if I have a gun and I'm getting nervous.
I'm like sitting in my, you know what if I'm sitting in my
parents dining room, like, oh, what do I say?
Should I say I have a gun? And I like Google real quick.
I'm like, what, what kind of guns are there?
And I'm like, yeah, I have a Glock.
He's like, whoa, damn, you got a Glock?
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, I have a it's a nine millimeter.
I don't know what the fuck I was talking about, but those were
the days. Yeah, I used to get into those
chat rooms and people would say ASLAS.
L. OK, 10 And we'd be in there
lying about our age and stuff. And like, I remember like
literally being on there and putting on away messages.
And that was such a good time in life.
Like I remember the AOL web page.
Like did you ever make your own web page on your AOL?
I think so, yeah. I think I kind of remember that
a little bit, yeah. If you could put like clip part
and all this stuff and I don't know, it's definitely throwback.
I remember when they would send you the free AOL login C DS and
they like they it would be like 20 hours for free of the
Internet or something. Yeah, I remember that.
That's so crazy. Like how the hell were they able
to get the Internet on on ACD? It was such a different time.
I don't know, like it was like a authorization, I guess, or
something. I don't know, like good times.
Throwback. Oh.
My God. Would be like, get off the
fucking Internet. I got to get on the phone and
you'd be like, Mom, I'm downloading a song.
Well, like there was there. OK, so everybody knows about
Limewire. That's like, you know, that that
that creeped its way back into like, the Internet now.
So we remember that. But there was something else
before Limewire. I never used Napster.
What was it? Kazaa.
It wasn't, no, it was something else.
It was something else. But Limewire was like the main
one. We all, we all ended up going
towards law where there was a lot.
There was a lot of those, like, I don't know what they call
them, like P, like PP2P connections, like personal
computer to personal computer. But damn.
Illegal. Yeah, Yep.
And I mean, that's the reason why streaming is a thing now,
because like, so many people were illegally downloading music
and then the RIAA tried to like, crack down on it in like 2008,
and they prosecuted like a couple people that like,
illegally pirated music. But then they were like, dude,
there's too many people doing this.
We can't prosecute everybody. We can't keep tabs on everybody.
So like, what do we do? People don't want to buy CDs
anymore. They don't want to buy music
anymore. How do we, you know, like what
do we do? And then that's when they
created streaming services and streaming definitely kind of
kind of killed it a little bit. But you know, there's still a
lot of good music out. But as far as like making money
for music, I can tell you now, Paige and you, I know you know
this already because you got friends that are artists.
Nobody is making music off of streams right now, not even the
big, not even the big hitters. Nobody's making nobody.
I've heard the worst stories of people who have millions and
millions of streams a month and they don't make nothing.
Pennies on the dollar? We're talking about points, like
points. Yeah, that's unfortunate because
I know like back in the day, people used to make big, big
money off CDs. Well, well, the labels did, but
then you had like you had the independent artists like Tech 9,
Tech nine man. He is so underrated for what he
did for starting his own LLC, his own independent label and
doing his thing. And he made so much money off
his CDs and he put double CDs out so sound scan would, would,
would clock 2 units. And that's how he manipulated
the market. There were ways to manipulate
everything. Like even like you said on that
website, you were able to kind of like work your way in to the
vampire, you know, website that you had.
Same thing with my Myspace, YouTube, you know, you could
leave a comment on a YouTube channel and then you could log
in to, you could make like 10 fake accounts and you could
thumb up the comment. And then when people would go to
like, let's say people would go to a Jay-Z music video and your
comment would come up at the top.
And people used to promote the shit out of themselves on other
people's platforms. So you'd go on a Jay-Z musically
and be like, hey guys, like I'm an artist from Philly.
I'm really inspired by Jay-Z, blah, blah, blah, you should
check out my music. And then by you using those 10
fake accounts, he would upvote your comment and more people
would see it and then it'd get more traction.
And then Google came through, shut that shit down in like 2012
and they just stepped up their shit like Nope, we know we're
tracking IP addresses now. You can only have one account,
You can't have multiple accounts.
Instagram, same thing. You can be logged into like 8
different accounts I think. I don't know what the maximum is
on Instagram. Do you know I?
Only have 3 so I don't know. OK, so you actually they
actually Ding your reach if you're logged into multiple
accounts. Really.
Yep, and if you interact with your if you post something and
then you like it or you share it from one of your own accounts,
they also. They also fuck with the
algorithm too because what they do is the the server they
identify that activity as like spammy.
So what they'll do is they'll limit your reach.
If they see you lot 1 logged into multiple accounts and then
two interacting with your content from the other accounts,
they will fuck with your algorithm.
They're haters for real because they're always just, they're
limiting everything because I had screenshots of like my
Instagram like I don't know like 3 years ago and the first six
hours had like 600 views on my story.
Yep. And it was just some dumb shit
too. It wasn't even anything
exciting. Same.
They're just like, they don't want people to get anything
because they want you to pay for the blue check mark and if you
don't pay for it, they're blocking the reach regardless.
Because like my friend, she pays for the blue check mark because
she had a lot of fake accounts and people trying to do those,
like fake only fans with her pictures.
And so she pays for it. She shared a picture in the
first six hours, there was like 300 likes, 80 comments and like
71 shares. And this was like yesterday.
So that's the difference of somebody like pays for the check
and doesn't pay for the check. So, so, so from your from her
experience, so you're telling me that that check actually does
make a difference? Yeah, because I've heard, I've
heard the opposite, but. No, it does.
It does. Do you know who Jimmy Levy is?
No. OK, yeah, he, he's had, he's had
the, he got the check and I know like he, he has like 1,000,000
followers, but he's literally stuck there.
A lot of people are stuck where they're at.
And if you look at your, if you look at your metrics, you
literally lose almost the identical amount of followers
that you gain. And it just that that's just
their game that they're playing right now, like with their
system. Yeah.
It's like to keep you addicted to it though.
Well, yeah, that's what they want.
Because you know, remember they're making money off
advertisement. So you know, they'll tell you,
you know, you know, keep pushing content out.
You know, the, the way to make your page grows to post every
single day. And that's bullshit.
That's complete bullshit. Posting everyday or posting once
a week. It really, it really comes down
to, and this is what I figured out with at least with Instagram
right now, the only thing that matters on there is the timing.
Like if something happens and you make something quick on it,
the algorithm will favor you. It'll be interesting to people,
it'll that shit will take off. That's it.
Like if you can't make something as soon as something happens,
you wait till the next day. You you basically have a 48 hour
window to like make content about something that's happening
that's very controversial. Otherwise it doesn't matter.
Like it literally doesn't matter.
Like I used to like I used to average like anywhere from like
200 to like 400 likes on my post.
Now it's like 50-60 like crazy and I have over 11,000 people.
Like so you mean to tell me Instagram is only letting me
reach like 0.3% of my audience? That's what they do.
It's crazy but I swear that blue check they really do promote
your shit. I I might try it out for like a
month or two just to see what happens.
The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to
give them your government name. I don't like that either, that's
why I won't do it. That's why I won't do it and
that and like until they make that change, I'm not going to do
that shit because like I don't need, I mean, they, I mean not
like they already don't have all that info.
Of course they do. But like, why should they have
like a picture of my driver's license and fuck that.
Yeah, it's a lot. Yeah, for. 2 Because it'd be one
thing to have to just give it to them, but to have to put it on
your profile. Right.
I don't want every I don't want the whole world knowing my
government name because like if you search up my government
name, you, you know, with anybody's government name, like
that's how lurkers and like that's how like just weirdos on
the Internet. If they want to, if they want
to, if they have it out for you then and they know your
government name, that just gives them ammo because they can look
it up and then they can connect the dots.
They can find out where you live, you know who you're
associated with, you know, really, really zero on in.
And, you know, I try to tell, like my female friends that too.
Like if you have a business, you work at a nail salon, you do
hair, something like that, whatever, whatever.
I even tell like my fiance too. I'm like, man, I hate the fact
that, you know, you, you have a business and you have a public
profile. You let you know the world, know
your schedule, and that's cool. But like, you know what I say,
you see where I'm going with this?
Yeah. No, I get it.
There's so much information out there, like if somebody really
has it out for you and you have enough info out there, like they
can find where you're at and they'll know where you're at at
what times and. Yeah, I, I feel like the best
case scenario is like make sure you stay strapped and have a
gun. But at the same time I don't let
nobody know where I'm at, so I've already left.
Yeah. Nobody knows what gyms I go to.
Nobody knows like really a lot of personal things.
Even if someone does know my government and I found out where
I lived, they really better be like about that life when they
get here. You know what I mean?
Because I will literally kill you.
Like, I have no shame when it comes to like protecting myself
or my like life. But at the same time, I feel
like so many people live in fear.
And I've talked about this before about like, the prey and
predator energy. And like, I just encourage women
to adopt the predator vibration rather than the prey, rather
than feeling like, you know, oh, you know, someone's watching me
or whatever. But like, yeah, definitely don't
be posting your life. Don't be posting the grocery
stores and the stores and the parking lots of every place you
frequent for sure. Because I have seen those
stories where people are able to like figure out where someone is
and stuff based on really crazy things, You know what I mean?
Yeah, yeah. I think like Geo, Geo geographic
tagging is like the worst fucking thing you could do.
And like, especially when you're still there, like I'm going to
be going out of state pretty soon and you know, I'm not, I'm
probably not going to be tagging where I'm at.
I might post like some stories and whatever, whatever while I'm
out there. But as far as like tagging my
location and telling people like exactly where I'm at, hell no,
I'm not doing that shit. I just tell people I'm from
Philly. I'm not even really from Philly.
I'm from my area outside of it. But you got to be, especially as
a girl, you got to be so careful about the information that you
put out there because guys are just guys are just creepy.
And you know, women are easier prey.
And I definitely recommend any woman listening to this right
now, if you don't already have a strap, get one.
Find out what your local laws are.
Find out what your state laws are.
Go to a shooting range. Learn how to use it, Learn how
to be smart about it. You know, like in Pennsylvania.
The laws are weird over here, dude.
Like you can open carry without anything but if if you want to
conceal carry in Pennsylvania you have to have a permit?
Like how the fuck does that make sense?
It should be the other way around, if if anything.
Yeah, in Kentucky you can just carry.
Without a permit. Yeah, in seal too.
Isn't that weird though in PA? Like you need a permit to
conceal it, but if you don't have a permit you have to open
carry. I mean, I think every state has
laws that benefit them so that they can fine you.
Well, yeah, I remember during COVID, like, you know, when like
the George Floyd protests were happening and like that was like
crazy, crazy, crazy. There was so much violence and
so much bullshit going on. I I open carried a lot and like,
I would go to Walmart. I knew I was being, you know,
recorded on surveillance. I don't care because I knew
where I could take it and where I couldn't.
And yeah, that thing was on my hip wherever I went.
And then eventually I just, my dad, my dad was, you know, I
have a military father. He was a Marine.
And he basically told me don't do that.
He's like, you know, don't do. You don't have to let the world
know that you got that, you know, And I'm like, yeah, yes.
And no. Because it can, when you open
carry it, it can potentially deter criminals from doing
criminal things, but it also puts a mark on your back because
if they are going to do something, then they know they
got to get you out of the way first.
So there's a lot of dynamics to it and, and, and what benefits
you if you want to open or conceal carry, you know what I
mean? Yeah, yeah.
I mean, I think everyone should definitely learn how to protect
themselves, but only like in an escalated situation, you know
what I mean? It's definitely people out there
that are a little too reckless withholding a gun or having a
gun. But I feel like at the end of
the day, I just, I just move with intention and like use my
intuition and like, you know, if I don't feel like I should go
somewhere, I will totally go home.
Or if I feel like I should turn around or you knows, whatever,
I'll do that. Like I'm really good at like
listening. So I always feel like wherever I
go is going to be safe, you know, which I feel like is a
good thing. But definitely with the
Internet. It's funny how I feel like I
share a lot with the Internet, but I also at the same time keep
so much, so low key. Like I've pretty much said like
in the future, whenever I have a new man, I am not posting him at
all. Like no one will know I have a
new man. I'll just pop out with a kid,
like we'll be married. We'll just pop out and be
married. Like no one.
Don't even know. Like that's where I'm at with
life. I just feel like what what
people keep private? People can't mess up, you know?
Yeah, I hear you. But I mean, that's also very
tourists of you and you're you're you're, but you're also
an evolved tourist because I dated an uninvolved tourist.
Yeah, that sucks. But you're an evolved Taurus so
that, you know, that's, that's earthy of you.
I think a lot of earth signs can can be like that.
They can kind of, they can kind of move in the direction of the,
you know, private life is a happy life.
And, you know, I can subscribe to that too.
When I first started dating my partner, I posted, I posted us a
lot. I used to post like a lot of
videos. And, you know, we were over
here, we were over there, we were everywhere.
And, you know, people loved it. They ate it up.
And, you know, I thought it was cute too.
But eventually I started getting some like weird messages, you
know, like just like just creepy shit, just like weird shit, you
know, like people saying oh, like, you know, oh, I thought I
saw you guys at the fair. Like people don't even fucking
know. Like, you know, like people
started getting like a little obsessed with us and it made me
uncomfortable. And I was like, damn, how are
like some people like couples on the Internet and like they make
like Tik Tok's about it and they make pages about it and they do
vlogs about it and they put everything out there and like,
oh, we're going camping. We're doing this, we're doing
that. It's like I kind of like slowed
my roll down even on like posting me and my partner.
Like I still post those for sure.
But it'll be like a selfie or it'll be like, you know, a
dinner outing that we went to a week ago without, you know, I'll
blur the background so people don't know where we're at
because it's like she's a female too.
And like there's like there's weirdos out there.
So it's like I got to protect her too.
And like, even when I have a kid, like if, if I ever like a
kid, I don't, I don't even know, I don't even know if I'd want to
post my kid on the Internet because there's, there's pedos
out there. And then I screenshot that shit
and have a whole folder in their camera roll with pictures of my
kids and shit. You know what I mean?
Like it's just the makes you. Pick the people who cap off
their kids and like make money off their kids and like videos
of their kids because, you know, there are weirdos that are
saving all those. And like a lot of what does not
make sense to me, and I've talked about this on so many
different interviews that I've done, is like why when kids are
doing cheerleading, gymnastics, volleyball, whatever, why are
they wearing booty shorts and underwear?
And then these weirdos come to these competitions or these
little 7-8 year olds are bouncing around in the smallest
outfit you've ever fucking seen with makeup on.
It just doesn't make sense. Thanks so much.
I'm so glad that you brought that up, Paige, because I feel
like you need, you need like a woman to bring that point up for
I think it, it's just better for a woman to bring that point up
and then me as a man who is in touch with his divine masculine
and I'm very, very in touch with my divine feminine too, which
actually powers my masculine. But I'm glad that you bring that
point up so I can interject. I agree.
I think the whole like cheerleader culture is
programming and I think that it's it's like brainwashing.
It's basically breeding these girls to be objectified because
even think about like some of the poses and like some of the
things that they do, Like they'll have like girls standing
on top of girls and they're flipping them around and they're
wearing like these tiny little skirts and they're, you know,
booties are popping out. And like dads are at these games
watching these little 9 and 10 year olds.
And then they have them all like, you know, stand in the
middle of the basketball court. They're all kneeling down.
And then their skirts are like sliding up and they're just
looking like little, like slutty be little kids.
And it's like, it's gross. It's like, and they have makeup
on. It's like, and for society, for
people to pretend that it's not something that it is and be
like, no, it's not like that. Like, no, it is like that
because that's the world that we live in.
That is the, the, the state that is the conditioning of men and
people in general and even women.
It's not even just men. Like some women probably look at
those little girls and think weird shit too.
There's women predators, too. So I literally have wondered
what the fuck is up with like the leotards and the booty
shorts because like it makes no sense to me.
Like I ordered these shorts off Amazon that were like volleyball
shorts and I thought that meant I could wear them to the gym.
I literally can only wear these at home.
Like these are so fucking short and thin.
I cannot believe that these are what they sell to girls to like
practice volleyball in and that's what volleyball shorts
are because I was just kind of like shocked and.
Honestly, the fact that like it's just very small children
and it cost a lot of money for these children to partake in
these programs. And another thing is like, I
know a lot of women who like have basically built their
entire following on like TikTok or Instagram or wherever from
like sexualizing their daughters or their kids.
And like, there's this also this really weird trend that like
went around TikTok where like mothers were like posting their
like 7-8, nine year old son talking about like, we were
meant to be soul mates in another life, but in this life,
I'm your mother. And like weird shit.
Like there's just so much weird shit.
And like, I would not post my child on the Internet at all.
I wouldn't. I would be one of those weird
people who puts an emoji over their face every time.
Yeah. Oh my God, Yeah.
I don't blame you. I think I would probably, I
probably just wouldn't even, I probably just wouldn't even like
I don't think people would even know like maybe one day when
they're like 4 years old, it'd be like, oh, hey, by the way,
here's my 4 year old, you know, daughter.
But then even then I probably wouldn't based on like where we
are in the world. Hopefully things get better.
I don't think they will soon, but hopefully they will.
But yeah, it's, I'd never heard about that trend, but I have
seen like photo shoots of like mothers that are, do it's like
borderline boudoir. And they have like their
daughter and, and then they had their daughter turns like 4 and
she gets the little fucking blow, a balloon, the little
golden or silver blow balloon. And it's like #4 and then she's
in the back just like who cheat out and her daughter's like
holding up a balloon. And she's like, hey.
And it's like, it's so obvious that it's about her and they
just use their kids because, you know, they're like, oh, people
are going to think this is cute. It's like, no, dude, like you're
hoochieed out. So you got some perv of like
watching your shit and then you have your daughter in the
picture with you. So now he's looking at both of
you and objectifying both of you.
And it's like, how are people that dumb that they're that
blind to like, OK, if you put yourself out there like that,
that's what you're going to attract.
They're so blinded by likes and numbers and, you know, getting,
you know, metrics on social media that they're not aware
that like, dude, 85% of the Internet is porn and 85% of
like, social media interaction. Same thing Weirdos scouting and
for people like to pretend that that's not real, it the
disassociation like the disconnect from like the truth
is just it's wild. Yeah, I think that's really what
like this whole episode is I've been about is like how
disconnection really lead you down a path that is not a
reflection, you know, of your true self or your true path.
And so many people are just being like, put onto a path
based on their environment, their surroundings, you know,
their partner, people that they surround themselves with or
whatever it may be. And like, truly they're lost,
you know what I mean? And I feel like the system
itself benefits from people being lost.
Oh yeah, absolutely. And if anything, you know,
hopefully this episode can really shine a light on that.
And you know, you and me are both very, very, very
transparent. I mean, you're a Taurus.
I'm a, I'm a walk in Taurus because, you know, I legally
died May 19th, 2014. And then I walked in.
So technically I'm like an 11 year old Taurus in a 35 year old
Sagittarius body. But with all that Taurus energy,
we have the ability and uncanny also uncanny ability to just
really shine a light on things and be really transparent with
things. And hopefully anybody that's
been listening to this can, can, can just use it as like a
mirror. You know, if, if you can't
relate to it, you know, at least maybe we brought some points up
that, you know, the listener has thought about.
And, you know, these are conversations that I think we as
a collector really have to start having more because that's how
we can heal is first from identifying what we're doing
wrong as a collective and fixing that shit so we can shift the
timeline and get out of this one and get to something even
better. Because I know that it can get
so much better than this. Amen.
And that's where we will leave you all.
Thank you for joining us for another episode and we'll see
you next time. Bye bye.
