Uh huh. Yeah, he says.
She's so sweet, man. Come on over.
The rapper lit me like a lollipop.
Lollipop, lollipop, lollipop, lollipop.
He want to lit me like a lollipop, lollipop, lollipop.
He want to swallow my spirit. What is up, everybody?
Welcome back to Candy Land here. Excited opening up with some
more questions and topics that you guys had.
I think we're going to make this kind of a theme because there's
so many and it really helps us to know what exactly we're going
to be going on our little tangents about throughout the
episode. Amen.
So let's just dive right into a hot question for Jim and I.
What are your thoughts on the morality of death rituals across
cultures? Should modern societies embrace
practices like mummification, cannibalism or necromancy if it
aligns with their spiritual beliefs?
Yeah. So I think yes, especially if
it's something that's connected to your culture and there's like
a personal reason and a personal connection with that.
Completely support that. I also support people educating
themselves and learning how to do new things.
I don't know if eating people is something that I personally want
to do, but there's tons of cultures where they do that.
I know that there are a lot of closed practices that have
specific death rituals that they have.
And so those aren't things that I'm going to necessarily dive
into. But like on Coven, I just
interviewed a woman who's in Mexico and she was talking about
the Day of the dead and the reason why they do that
celebration and how they take care of their dead and different
things. And I saw so much beauty in it
and so much uniqueness and parallels between that and
witchcraft. I think if you feel drawn to it
and it, you should absolutely fucking do that.
Necromancy. I love the concept of
necromancy. I love learning about it and
educating myself. The cannibalism is what sticks
out in my mind. And like, I got questions, like,
what kind of people are we eating?
Is there an age range that we should be eating?
Is it like lamb where we should be eating them while they're
young? Should we be eating them while
they're older? How do we know that they're not
sick? You know, I got questions.
I mean, maybe that's why society is fattening everybody.
Up. I like your theory.
We may get to the point where we're like global shutdown.
Time to eat your sister. I feel like a lot of rituals
have been misinterpreted throughout history and like the
documentation that we have on it, it isn't.
It isn't able to truly be processed.
I feel like for the purpose that the society or culture had, like
our understanding of mummification isn't probably
what the Egyptians were doing, you know, like they were very
heavily centered on the afterlife for a reason.
But I don't believe that they left us all of these little
clues and bread crumbs and that they make sense because
technically there's not a lot of people that can even read
hieroglyphics. Because technically I believe
you would have to be channeling them, looking for symbols and
synchronicities and utilizing your intuition to actually
understand them. Because just because I say that
that's an S doesn't mean that's an S it considering they would
been speaking Latin. I want to know like what things
are mistranslated and what was it originally supposed to be
like? If it isn't supposed to be that
you're eating people, what is it that you are supposed to be
doing? If it's not that you're supposed
to be doing AB and C to bring people's souls back from the
dead and try to align them with the same physical body, what is
it that should have been being done and how is there so much
misinterpretation and piercing things together?
I mean, that happened in the Bible.
Like they're the original version of the Bible verses like
the King James version, which was just an interpretation by
the King James. Like they're.
Completely different. There's a lot of theories of why
they stopped teaching Latin and like completely have made that a
lost language. And someone told me that English
was translated as like a barrier language that's not a full
expression of each word. And that a lot of the words that
we use, like someone said that mortgage, what we think it means
is like a home ownership. It's important.
We want a mortgage. But in Latin, it translates as
death sentence. So there's a lot of words that
we're using in the American language that I believe are
actually hindering us with deep encoded symbolism and spells
that we don't realize. Kind of like when people will
say like, I can't do that or I will work till I die or I'm
broke or whatever. Like those are binding spells
that seem very normal. Like it seems very normal to be
like, I'm going to work my life away.
I have to work till I die. I'm going to work my back off or
whatever. I'm going to break my back.
Like those are very common things that people are saying
that are like spellbinding. So I've been told.
Like the reason that they have like completely disengaged with
Latin is because they never wanted anyone to actually be
able to translate the real Bible, the real test text,
without whatever was added. Speaking of the spellbinding
things, people saying, oh, I'm broke.
I can't do that because I'm broke.
I can't do that because I have no money.
Oh, I can't spend this on what I need because I need to do this.
There's so much fear mindset about money.
Whereas if you know that it's coming in and you spend it on
the things that you're needing or even like small items that
you're wanting is like a little morale booster.
Like you know, that money ends up coming back to you so much
quicker and easier and you get more of it because you don't
have this lack mindset and this fear about it and you're not
speaking into existence. Oh, I'm fucking broke.
Yeah, there's a lot that we speak into existence in the
English language that seems normalized that is very
detrimental to the results that you are manifesting.
All of that. That's all facts.
Let me ask you your question. If you knew you could sell your
soul for a lifetime of happiness and success, but had to face
eternal torment afterward, would you take the deal?
Why do you think so many people are tempted by the concept of
sacrificing morality for power? I truly believe that we are
living in a conscious reality that people have done this and I
believe that you become a puppet for whatever entity, darkness,
whatever. So just because you sold your
soul in one lifetime and you got that happiness and whatever, now
in other lifetimes they're going to use you as a puppet.
Yeah, they may give you money, they may give you fame and
power, but you're going to be a puppet.
And I would never want that. I am way too stubborn and
rebellious to give 2 fucks about what someone's going to tell me
to do. And I would rather be poor and
like in my own power than give that power away.
And I truly believe that these fires in LA have a lot to do
with like the kundalini energy is trapped in California, like
the the root chakra of America is California.
And a lot of what's happening I truly believe is like a
recentering of the earth. Not that some of it wasn't man
made or cause or whatever. I believe that we're going
through a recentering of earth. And I sure as hell would not
want to be on the dark side of a lifetime of torment just for a
little bit of fun, 6070 years of fun.
I'm good. And if you've ever noticed, and
I will, I'll say this outright, have you ever noticed the
celebrities that look like a fresh, a fresh grape and other
people look like shriveled up prunes, but they're the same
age. Do the math.
It's not just skin care. It's not just red light therapy.
It's not Botox like some shits fucking going down.
And they were talking about that in AD injections where they're
injecting some kind of serum or fluid into your body that makes
you not age. And I believe anything that is
going against the grain of the natural process of the body is
selling your soul in some way. Like, not plastic surgery,
nothing like that. But I'm saying like the people
who look like grapes and the people who look like Shiverdale
prunes. I think there's a difference in
whatever they're doing in their free time.
Agreed. So Speaking of the fires in
California, there is this like whole web of conspiracies and as
a conspiracy theorist I did some light diving.
Not deep enough to be the expert, but enough to tell you
that Diddy's house caught fire and burnt down.
Which is awfully fucking convenient with them going
through everything right now and looking for more evidence and
whatever, and multiple houses of people who are like, tied to him
and associated with him. Do you know who Heidi and
Spencer Pratt are? Yes.
So their house burnt down and they've turned it into this like
whole thing for abundance for themselves.
So like, Heidi's like having people go and listen to her new
song and shout out her new song. And they are the only
celebrities who I've seen outright talking about the fires
and like the actual devastation that it has.
And their comment section was really sad because people were
like, you're just rich. Like, you can, you know, I wish
I was that rich. And, you know, my house had
burnt down and you can get insurance.
And they've come out and done videos and been like, yeah,
we're celebrities and whatever and we have money.
But like, we have kids and we have memories.
And this is, you know, these are the houses where, you know,
we've we've raised our kids in and we have all of these things.
And it completely changed the tone of the way that people were
approaching them. And it just makes me think about
how easy it is for us to see people in certain positions and
then not think of them as like human or look at them and all of
the hard work that it's taken them to achieve that role.
And there are people like them who, you know, they did the
reality TV thing and then they went and they had a family and
they were private and they completely invested in their
spirituality and opened up, you know, their stones and, and
everything that they do for like, you know, their gem
business and everything versus the like Kim Kardashians who
were like, OK, bitch. Well, something doesn't add up.
And you constantly need to be in the fucking limelight.
Speaking of the Kardashians, when have they ever been this
quiet? You all?
When have we not seen Kim's ass on Instagram every other day Or
Khloe's weight loss fucking stories.
Like where they at? They're being quiet as shit.
Their PR publicist person has said, bitch, shut up.
We need to draw no attention to the Kardashian family because I
believe they're top five on that list.
And honestly, I think that people in power do fucked up
things because they know there's no one to stop them.
And I think that right now in this capitalistic society that
we've reached, that's where we're at.
Like I've saw something that's like, well, they can't, they
can't fix this because it ruins this in industry.
They can't fix this problem because then it messes up this
industry. And the people on this side are
making all of the money while we suffer on this side.
And I believe that there are entities or beings that are not
human in powerful positions. I agree with that.
I believe that. And I'm not saying that they're
reptilian or lizards or whatever, but they might be.
I mean, I know for sure octopuses are of alien nature.
Let's just go ahead and say a chameleon is as well.
Like anything that can shape shift before your eyes, that's
not from Earth, that's not an Earth species because you don't
see a dog shape shifting. You don't see human shape
shifting unless they have something else within their DNAI
believe the theory that the Greek gods mated like with
extraterrestrials to create like Hercules and like other beings
that are not of human nature that were of human nature but
not of human nature. They call it like the utopian
theory that the Greek gods were mating with these beings that
were coming down and creating a hybrid like being.
I believe that. And I think that some of those
people have just swapped hands and swapped hands and kept
people in power because I know by being around very like rich
people in my life that they put their kids on payroll.
They don't work. They do this, they don't work.
They invest into this. No one works.
You know what I mean? Like there's like some big
person in the family that sets everyone else up.
And I just don't think that's a coincidence.
I think that I had read something that said millennials
are going to be inheriting the most wealth that's ever been
trans, transitional transition from a generation because
there's more wealth available than there ever has been.
Which leads me to believe, once again, the dollar doesn't mean
anything. The only thing that actually
means something is like resources and land.
Other than that, like tomorrow they could say purple people
eaters are the new currency, go find one.
You know, like there's no rules. But I think that so many people
have sold their soul and have no regard to the human race because
they're no longer human. And that's what's fucking up the
calibration on Earth. I also think that people who are
taking their time to teach their kids in younger generations
things are setting them up to have that like wealth and
abundance moving forward. Because if you teach somebody
all of these different things and tell them how they can go
out and do things for themselves and improve on things, they're
able to bring things in for themselves.
If you're doing things where like, well, I have money and so
I'm just going to set everybody else up with these things, but
you don't actually teach them how they can keep that going up.
That's great. You have one more generation of
people who have like, like, you know, that are going to be
taking care of financially. Cool.
But what happens with that bloodline afterwards?
You don't teach those kids that you're just handing down money
to and putting on payroll how they can be the successor for
you. You're not doing anything
beneficial for them. You're giving them a silver
spoon and being like, well, your kids are going to be fucked, but
at least you're taken care of. I've done my part.
I mean, there's a lot to unpack with that, but there are a lot
of trust fund babies in the workforce right now as we speak.
I agree. And they're not nasty.
Like these people aren't bad people, they just have no desire
to work because if they've never had an issue where they knew I
don't have enough for this or I don't have insurance or I don't
have books for school, they don't give a fuck.
So then they get out here in the workforce and we have
unrealistic expectations. And I think that's the offset of
like the distribution of wealth. But I have a question for you.
I was looking into history earlier and we had talked on the
last episode about women not being able to move outside of
the marriage due to societal norms and standards.
But what about the old standard that men could not get married
or bear children unless they owned land or had money?
I actually. I actually didn't know about
that. I didn't know that that was a
thing. We need to run that one back
because I'm sick of these broke mother fuckers having kids that
they don't teach anything they don't raise and then it creates
another generation of men acting a fucking fool because they
don't got a dad. People act like it's mommy
issues or daddy issues for women but none of you all have
structure and role models in your fucking life and I know
that's why you treat women the way y'all treat them because
back then these men were more than happy to write a heartfelt
love letter on the front line of World War 2.
But instead I can't even get a text back half the time.
And people so girly and it's like y'all hate trans people and
y'all are like homophobic but y'all are like halfway in the
closet. Like you're already there, bro.
You want women to split everything with you?
You want to treat them like shit.
You don't want to respect them. You don't want to teach your
kids anything. You don't want to be a good
grounded like and then y'all have the audacity to act like
it's women with only fans fucking everything up or it's
women doing this that's fucking everything up.
No women have decided they're no longer going to be silenced and
they're willing to run up the bag whichever way they got to,
to stay away from you all, and I support that.
I, I don't need to say anything because you just completely put
your opinion out there loud and fucking clear and that's your
opinion is not going to fucking change, period.
A moment of a moment of silence for everybody who just fell.
I have a question for you. OK.
Why is there such a stigma around practices like banishment
spells or shadow work? Can embracing dark magic be a
healthy part of a spiritual journey?
Yeah, it's it's fear based mindset.
Who's to say what magic is good magic, what magic is bad magic,
how you should be utilizing it? If you are doing a banishment
spell because you keep on a track, you know you're banishing
a specific type of energy that would translate and you doing
protection magic if you are. What was the other one?
There was banishment and shadow work I have never heard of.
So shadow work is essentially you finding the root cause of
certain ways that you process situations and that you react to
things, scaling it back and figuring out what the root cause
to that is, and then working on healing that trauma so that it
no longer effects you in these ways.
So I don't know how somebody could think that that's a
negative thing unless people are approaching it from the mindset
that they think counseling is is or that shadow work is replacing
like counseling and therapy, which it's not.
I think that the problem is ignorism and people not doing
enough research and understanding on a topic before
they talk about it. And unfortunately, people will
do that and have half pieces of information.
Never have talked to a practitioner who works in
painful workings or in in any type of like darker magic, if
you will. And then they turn around and
they regurgitate things. I also think that Hollywood and
people doing movies and talking about shit they're only half
educated on so they can go out there and make a movie about it
and make a bunch of money and give false information is a huge
reason why. So ignorance is the fucking
answer and I highly support people educating themselves.
Before you do or don't do anything.
I don't think that you should be fucking around energetically.
With anything before you have an understanding, positive,
negative, anything in between. What's your opinion on like
hexes and that energy coming back to you?
For example, say someone had a super abusive husband that was
just so bad to them and they wanted to put a hex on them.
Would you support that or would you be against that?
I support whatever you think you need to fucking do,
understanding that no matter what your intention is, even if
you have a good intention, there's always cause and effect
to anything that you're going to energetically do, and you need
to be prepared for that. Like you can.
And I talk about this in witchcraft classes.
You can go out and you can have the best fucking intention for
something. You can do something as simple
as a money bowl and being like, God damn, I'm going to do some
magic. I need to bring in more finance
this month. Whatever.
OK, Well, the repercussion to that is that you have to go out
now. You have to fucking work harder.
All these opportunities are coming in to you.
You need to figure out daycare for your kid because now you
have all these fucking hustles on your front door and you have
to go and you have to figure that out.
You're doing love spills and you want so and so.
Well, so and so comes with all of this baggage and all of this
bullshit. So now you've got it, but now
you've got all of these repercussions for that positive
or negative that now you need to deal with the ramifications of.
So if you're going to purposefully go and
energetically fuck somebody'd life up because of something
that they did, what's the ramification for that on you?
Are you going to be able to sleep with yourself at night?
Are you going to have issues? Is there, you know, are you
going to be fucking paranoid now?
Are you making yourself sick? Are you using ingredients that
you shouldn't have fucking used and now everything is directed
at you? Did you tie that to somebody
else properly? I have a friend who does painful
workings and I would if some shit was going down and I was
like, I need this person to like fucking die.
I could reach out to her and trust that what she's going is
going, that it's going to be effective.
But I also am aware of the fact that she is heavily researched.
She is heavily protected, She knows exactly what the fuck
she's doing and she knows exactly what to do with
consequences that come back in her direction.
So again, if you're going to fuck around, you're going to
find out. So how much are you willing to
find out? I guess I just wonder on a
personal scale because I do know who you're talking about.
Like what comes back, you know? I mean, I know that's
unpredictable, like you don't really know, but like this.
Person has had like this person has done workings while they've
been pregnant and lost children because of work that they have
done and all types of things. So like you can have crazy ass
shit come back to you and be like a soul for a soul fucking
deal. So like, and that's what I mean
when I'm saying like, there's ramifications for shit.
So like is you fucking up, you know, Larry Joe's life because
he fucked somebody worth, you know, you having to pick a
different soul for that's not something I'm fucking dabbling
in because that's not my responsibility to fucking
handle. I believe that regardless, and
this this is goes to my personal belief, I'm not going to use my
energy to negatively affect somebody because I believe that
if you are a shit, gross fucking person and that's what you put
out in the universe, it may not be today, it may not be
tomorrow. I may be sitting here until
you're fucking 90 wondering why shit hasn't fucking caught up to
you, but eventually it will. I guess that's like the Tom O
tale of like, why do good things happen to like bad people and
why do bad things happen to good people and just perception.
I think a lot of people don't realize the karmic energetic
ties that they have to certain things, people that they're
sleeping with. This is something I learned the
fucking hard way. You date the wrong person and
you start entangling your energy and that person is in lack or
fear or limiting belief. Next thing you know, baby, your
bank account you getting, you know, you're getting flat tires,
you're having issues because spirit is trying to get your
attention. Like they're trying to tell you
like this person is not good for you.
Like let me let me do things that will get your attention.
Let me drain your bank account. Let me break your water heater,
let me fuck your car up, you know, whatever it is.
And so I think some people are on the tail end of like some
type of painful magic by just fucking with the wrong person,
like just being around the wrong people, kind of like they say
like wrong place, wrong time or whatever.
Like that's how it energetically feels dating or being around the
wrong people. Agree.
I'm right. I'm going to give you another
question. Let me see, how can we
differentiate between genuine psychics and those who are
fraudulent? And what role does skepticism
play in the spiritual community? So my biggest red flag with that
is when a practitioner makes you feel like you need them, when
they tell you things like you have an attached entity in your
aura and it is $500 to remove it, or when they just straight
up come to your inbox and solicit you.
They're mainly always a scammer, but some legit people do do
that. Like kind of like you ask for
recommendations on Facebook and everyone hops on your post.
There are energetic vampire psychics out there that are
praying on people in grief, people in like loneliness or in
lower vibrational states. Like it's really easy to target
someone who just went through a life altering situation.
They lost someone unexpectedly, they had some tragedy strike
their family. It's very easy to target those
people, and I think that a lot of people that are not real
psychics will solicit you and tell you that you need them.
I feel like real practitioners who are working with the highest
and best energy of the situation would never tell you that you
need something that can't be done by you.
So for example, if I see that someone really needs a clearing
or a cord cutting, I don't tell them, oh, you need to go to my
website and book that. I say you can go the Dollar Tree
or like the Dollar General and get everything that you need.
If you need help with that, I could send you a YouTube video.
I'm not affiliated with that person, but you know, there's a
lot of resources. My biggest problem, and this is
like no shade to anyone in particular, but my biggest thing
is like when someone books a reading and then they think that
gives them access to you for like ever.
Like OK well I spent $100.00 with you.
So like now I'm going to DM you every single week and ask you
when this is going to change, when my situation is going to
change, when am I going to get a job, when am I going to make
money? And I have clients like this and
it's always men. It's never women, it's always
men that do that. I don't know if it's because
they're skeptical in the beginning to even invest their
money, but then they don't see the value in it long term
because they're not doing the shadow work, they're not doing
the healing, they're not doing the manifestation work, They're
not putting intentions out there.
They are getting a reading and expecting a woman to fix the
problem. And that's that don't work for
me. So I do think that there are
energetic intentions that some psychics have and then some
don't, which is why I would always encourage people to keep
your options open to get multiple readings, to kind of
watch someones Instagram or social media for six months
before booking anything if you feel hesitant at all.
Because honestly, I don't want clients who don't value my time
long term. And I have clients that
literally booked a reading a year ago that I will get random
Facebook messages and sometimes I'll just open them and read
them, but I won't reply. And then they will keep
messaging me. And that gets on honors, like,
or when you have people who are wanting to do what you're doing
and they're watching your post and they're adding and
soliciting people from your post.
Like I've also had that. So I do think that discernment
is super important. Like asking yourself is what
this person telling me does that resonate with me?
Because I'll just be honest. If a psychic tells someone
there's an entity attached to you, 99.9% people just believe
it. They don't even take a step back
and say like do I feel drained? Do I feel those ways?
Do I feel like a dark clouds over me?
But even if for one instance someone says that to them, and
most fake psychics will say that most fake psychics will make you
need them, they won't give you the resources to solve your own
issue. They won't recommend you getting
your own deck or your own spell tools or whatever.
I always recommend people to resources to classes, to the
dollar store to get their own stuff.
No, I'm not going to walk you through it.
There's plenty of resources. I'll lead you down the the hole.
But I am tired of grown adults not going to therapy and
thinking that psychic guidance is therapy.
I think that it's comparable to therapy, but I also think that
if you have your own mental and internal struggles, you should
not project that onto a spiritual healer to fix them.
You need to do the work. You need to do the shadow work.
You need to ground yourself. You need to cut toxic ties.
You need to hit the gym and eat better.
Because 99.9% of our issues start in our gut, and it's
because we don't eat right. Bullshit.
OK, I'm going to ask you one more because you asked me too.
I am on one. I have one for you.
OK, ask. I am going to ask, why does
society celebrate women who do it all, working full time while
raising kids, but shame those who choose to focus solely on
their career or decide to not have children at all?
I do not know the answer to that question.
I think that if people feel fulfilled inside of their life,
regardless of what choice they made, who the fuck are you to
say anything different? If if I feel super fulfilled by
just being at home and doing my own thing and baking cookies and
fucking pushing out 20 fucking kids and like it's on lock, who
gives a fuck? Same thing with if people want
to go and they they want to, you know, put building a career over
having a family or whatever. I don't understand people not
minding their own fucking business.
And it doesn't matter what the topic is at hand.
What does what I choose to do inside of my life affect you in
any capacity? If you're not fucking or
financing me, your opinion shouldn't be mattered.
Period. Men.
Amen. Period.
All right, let me ask, let me ask you one.
You're going to get me heated with questions like that because
I, I literally like have had friends who will shit talk each
other just behind each other's back for so and so is doing this
and so and so does that. And you know, and why isn't she
making this choice? And why isn't she making that
choice if it's not a concern for their health or safety?
Mind your own fucking business, OK?
Why are workplaces still designed around outdated norms
that assume an ideal worker has no caregiving responsibilities?
And how does this disproportionately disadvantage
women? I feel like there's such a
double standard in society because the old 9:00 to 5:00
work week was shaped around a one person income being able to
provide for all basic needs. So the problem with with this
situation is that resources have been so offset that, you know, a
house that was 50 years ago was $58,000 starter home.
You could raise a family comfortably in it.
And then I saw that that same house has been assessed at 2.9
million in just 40 years and they've done nothing to it, I'm
sure. So I feel like we're in an
outdated society, but we are living in modern times where
there is an emphasis on A2 income household, but also an
emphasis on having children. And for those who don't know, if
you don't have any assistance and you don't have any, like
government provided anything, just to go have a kid with no
complications is upward of $12,000.
That is if your baby is completely healthy, completely
good to go and come and you, you get to go home like right after
you have that baby. That's no overnight stay, that's
no NICU, that's no nothing. And I just don't think people
account for that. Like they don't understand that
having a child is not only an expense for 18 years, but it's
12 to $15,000 just up out the gate.
So I think a lot of people are not prepared for the sudden
change in their lifestyle. And I just don't think society
even cares. Like it makes no sense that the
median income, like household income is like $80,000 in
America, but just to send your kid to like a decent daycare
five days a week while you go work is $800 a month.
So let's just do the. Math or more. 8 hundred $800 a
month for you? Getting childcare is fucking
cheap. So we're just going to go on the
cheap. We'll just say 800.
We'll say 880 * 12 is $10,560 a year.
So you're telling me that between me and my husband we're
bringing home around $80,000 and it's 10,560 after taxed dollars
to pay for childcare? No, So I just don't think
society makes any fucking sense. I think how it worked in the
past was that people had multiple children, that the
older ones just ended up raising the younger ones.
And I think that people were able to manipulate their
children into free labor, whether it was like on the farm
or in general. And I just don't think that's
like even the case because now parents are heavily centered on
giving their kids better than they had.
But what I believe as a childless person is you all need
to teach your kids better than you learned and stop giving them
everything. Let them suffer a little bit.
They don't need a fucking phone at 12 years old.
I'm sorry. I don't care if they play
sports, I don't care if they go to the moon after school.
I don't care what they do. They don't need a phone, period.
I don't care if they go to the moon after school.
And then my next point is influencer culture, like people
are influenced to think that they need a perfect home,
perfect white cabinets, perfect crown molding, perfect floor,
perfect everything all the time. And I think that we've skipped
chapters because like when our parents were in their 30s, they
were not live. They were living in trailers and
apartments and like starter homes.
They weren't out here in a crown molding, you know, 4000 square
foot home. I'm sorry, they're they just
were not. So I don't know what it is about
society standards that have exponentially grown towards
luxury, but exponentially went backwards on consistency, work
ethic, respect, morals. Because I had a job at 12 years
old and when it snowed this past week, not one motherfucker
knocked on my door and asked if they could shovel my driveway.
Kids, period. When I was 12 I worked at a
grocery store that my aunt owned and I babysat.
By 14 I actually could legally work and pay taxes so I started
working at the grocery store part time.
Then I moved to Beef O Brady's at 15 and worked at Subway as
well. I've always had two jobs and
babysat. So when people tell me like well
my son really wants these Nike dunks and my daughter really
wants Lululemon and drunk elephant skin care they can get
fucked. I don't care how much I love my
kid, I'm not going to give them luxury items if they don't have
luxury work ethic. That was my point that I was
making about people having people having money and just
setting their kids up and giving them money and being like, here
you go it. If you're not teaching them the
work ethic behind that so that they can keep that going and
they can keep adding to it. Literally all they're fucking
doing is draining a resource and never having anything that
they're going to be able to add to you.
And I have, we've talked about the working as a kid thing
because we both have busted our classes since we were able to do
it and had multiple jobs and done multiple things.
And that's something I was just having a conversation with my
son the other day because I'm like, no one you are able to
work. You will be having a job.
I will provide the basic things that you fucking need for life.
Like I'm never going to have him pay for his food or, you know,
shit like that. But if you're wanting something
in addition and you're like, I need a $250 bath soap, that's
cool. Get a fucking job.
If you are wanting to have a car, you need to be able to have
the insurance for that. You need to be able to figure
out what that car payment is. If you have a car payment or
saving up to like be able to get that for yourself.
Like there's, there's some things that should be given and,
and like help set up, I feel like, but coddling and giving
everything and providing everything doesn't actually
teach how you're supposed to go out into the real fucking world.
Because if I get hit by a fucking bus tomorrow, it doesn't
matter how much money I have. Whatever.
If you don't know how to utilize that and make that last long
term, then you're going to be fucked.
And I did not do my job as a parent.
I honestly feel like the whiniest, most able bodied
generation is being raised right now.
And I'm not talking like your son's age, I'm talking like 1819
year olds. And I had saw something that the
US government was going to try to reinstate like the draft bill
to be able to draft people, which I'm all for it.
I'm not drafting children, but I think that they should draft
people in their 20s. You know what I mean?
Like people over here who aren't paying taxes and aren't doing
shit, OK, we got a job for you. We'll get you going.
But you know, my grandpa was drafted at 14.
Like that's fucked up. That's that's unhinged.
But they were talking about like the kids in China can fight a
bear and climb a a Rockwall at 12.
And these kids here want Jordash every fucking day.
They don't want to work. They don't hit the gym.
They've never lifted a weight or a finger.
They don't help their mom. They don't respect their elders.
Like y'all aren't going to stand a chance if they reinstate that
bill period. Like you better just watch the
fuck out and go hit a lap real quick, you know what I mean?
But like they're talking about how they just desensitize the
generation so much that they don't see consequences with
their actions. Like they don't see consequences
putting tattoo stamps all over their face and they don't have a
pot to piss in. Like these kids are very
ruthless because they don't see consequences because they've
never had any. They were the everyone gets a
trophy generation, whereas our generation sit in the corner and
fucking cried when you got last place.
You know like bring it back. We not everyone needs a trophy.
You all didn't win. You want to win, try harder work
harder. I'm sorry.
If you want to win, try harder. I mean, I'm feeling like a
little unapologetic about it. I mean, yes, 5-6 year olds OK,
but we get to 8 years old. Y'all need to act right?
Y'all need to pull up your bootstraps.
And you lost. You did not win the race and you
do not get a prize. You want to win the race, get
out here and bust a move. You know, like quit giving
people everything for nothing. That is what's wrong with our
society. It's what's wrong with these
lazy ass adults. It's what's wrong with people.
It's just people need to realize that structure and consequences
matter, but not consequences. Like, you know you're going to
die or you got to go to war or something.
I'm not saying that, but I am saying that these kids are
fucking soft teenagers. And where are my electricians
and my plumbers? Like y'all just going to make
content for us? Like, you know, we need people
that actually want real jobs out here because I'm confused.
I'm confused what we're going to do in a few years.
Especially like with electric cars because there's no one to
work on them. That's my favorite part.
Well, The thing is that people stopped teaching how to do trade
things and they stopped telling their kids about trade things.
And it, there was a huge push for, oh, well, you need to go to
college and this is how you need to do it.
And it needs to be structured this way.
And I know people my own age who are like having, you know, they
had college funds set up for them and they're going to have
college funds for their kids and whatever.
And and I think that, you know, that's fine, but going and
having to figure out how to put yourself through that and how
you're going to afford to put yourself through school then
makes it so you're like, well, what am I going to school for?
What is this thing? A lot of times if people put
themselves in the position of learning a trade, regardless of
what it is, learn how to fucking read a tarot card, it doesn't
matter. But if you put yourself in that
position to have to learn the thing, a lot of times you find
out, Oh shit, this gives me the opportunity to build.
I'm learning all of these different things.
I'm networking and making connections.
I have the opportunity for, you know, financial growth for being
able to have a savings, taking care of my family, whatever.
They realize that they don't actually want to go to college
and do these things. And so I just think that there's
been a little bit of gap there. Doing trade was actually part of
the conversation that I had with Mac because I'm like, I don't, I
don't give a fuck if it is a trade and you're going and
you're, you know, so many times you have to go and you have to
apprentice for things before you can actually do things.
You can fucking intern an apprentice for things while you
are under the legal age of working, which is how I got my
job at the real estate office. I went and I started interning
before I was able to legally work and then had two other jobs
when I could work. And I learned so many valuable
skills about business and marketing and, you know, going
out and meeting people face to face and talking to them,
wishing your kids to do uncomfortable things is part of
what you're supposed to be doing as a parent because you're
supposed to be setting them up to be able to take care of
themselves and do things better than you do them.
People just don't know how to fucking be parents.
All that happened is they got smacked around a couple times or
whatever and never got taught these like core basic personal
disciplines that they're supposed to fucking have.
And I would be asking myself if I was a mom right now, Like, can
my child fight a bear? No.
You know, like, I would just be looking at like, what am I
teaching my child? Like, could they survive by
themselves? Could they go out and start a
fire if they needed to? Could they fish?
Could they hunt? You know, like, there's so many
things that dads and grandfathers used to pass along
that I feel like putting the man and the woman into the workforce
was a part of the systematic failure to increase the machine
and increase capitalism. Because it was talking to my
grandmother who made all of my mom's clothes when she was
growing up. So back in the 60s and 70s, my
grandmother made all of my mom's clothes.
They never bought them from the store.
She bought fabric and then she made their clothes.
And then right before we got onto this call, I saw that
Joann's fabric store is filing another bankruptcy.
They've already closed a bunch of stores, but now they're
filing Chapter 11 again. And I had saw this theory that
the like the government or systems above us have
strategically taken the man out of the home with things like
war, prison, drugs, things like that.
So skills like watching your grandfather in the shop fixing
the truck or, you know, on the farm or, you know, welding or
something like that. Like kids are not growing up
watching their parents do that because they're at work or in
jail. And then they were talking about
like the homemaker they are still requiring the mother to
home make. But it only took like 2
generations, which would be my mom and me to completely remove
things like making your own clothes or providing you know,
with canning or vegetables or your own garden.
You know, those types of things. Like they've literally taking
every survival skill out of the human culture in America and
made us dependent on the system. And another example, someone
drifted a Old Navy sweatshirt that said 2003 on the date that
it was made on the sweater. And they were like, it was
luxury. They were like, it is so like
solid cotton, no polyester, no feeling like, no filling
material, like it was just, it seemed like it was like Ralph
Lauren or something. And they're like, and I looked
at the tag and it said Old Navy. And it just shows in the last 20
years how things went from I only need to buy this once and I
got it to now you need 10 of the same thing and it's 10 times the
price. Yeah, facts.
I'm not about it. I don't like it.
There's definitely a lot unfolding, but I would say, like
my advice for everyone is like, learn a trade, have a skill,
don't be dependent on the machine because the machines are
running thin right now and it's trying.
Like that's why they're taking away TikTok because they don't
want you all to know anything. They want you to be influenced
by their brands, their roles, their propaganda, their ads.
And I feel like this is the time more than ever, to think outside
the box and think for yourself. Agreed.
Human design card. Oh, we got 47 for the Chameleon.
We were just talking, and we were just talking about
chameleons and octopuses. All right, 47.
So the sign is Virgo, the gift is versatility, and the shadow
is bondage. At the higher frequencies of
this gift, your fears lose their devilish friends and you see
them for what they are. Symbols.
Every symbol in your reality has an underlying meaning, and with
every meaning a message. It is your mission to decipher
the writings of your walls. From here you gain access to all
of life's mysteries. You release yourself from the
handcuffs of self-imposed limitation.
A fixed identity, a label, a career path, an image.
You are no thing and no one. You are everything.
The sunset and the chameleon, the collective unconscious slips
into each individuated experience, coloring aspects of
your lifetime in such a way that reflects our greatest and
deepest fears. As unique beings within the
larger whole, we each grapple with our own distinct, prominent
shadows, and the more that we attempt to deny or repress them,
the more they loom in our peripheral.
What occurs in your outer world is an extension of your inner
landscape. What demons are you holding
hostage? Witness them, hold the chains
and set your devils free. Making peace with your
humanness, complete with its afflictions and darkness, is the
only route to salvation. Your themes are spaciousness,
fluidity, dynamism, and symbols. Beautiful, beautiful.
