  Speaker 3: Bright stars Through the perilous fight O'er the.

  Speaker 2: Ramparts we watched Were so gallantly streaming.

  Speaker 3: And the rocket's red glare The bombs bursting in air
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Gave proof through the night That our flag was still.

  Speaker 5: All right, all right. Good morning, everyone. Steve Elsie here
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: filling in for my brother on 94.9 News Now. Good
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: morning and welcome aboard the train. We had a great
• 1:54
  Speaker 5: show today. Lots of great people coming on today that
• 1:58
  Speaker 5: I'm very excited about. 6.30 to 7, the Chestnut Theater
• 2:04
  Speaker 5: up in Norwich. Going to talk all things arts that
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: are happening there. That great, great show. New theater that's there.
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: I was there not too long ago and sort of
• 2:16
  Speaker 5: blown away. I walked in. It's an old fire station
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: and they converted it, obviously, to a theater. But it's
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: like a 67 seat theater that is just magic. It
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: feels so off Broadway. And I was in there so
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: inspired trying to do some some work with them musically.
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: But they'll be on and talking about a lot of
• 2:37
  Speaker 5: great things that is happening. From 7 to 7.30, Rocky
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: and I, we're going to have a little discussion. We're
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: going to have a little talk about the world beyond
• 2:49
  Speaker 5: into the religious realm, spiritual realm. We're going to have
• 2:53
  Speaker 5: a conversation and see where that goes. That's going to
• 2:55
  Speaker 5: be great. Rocky's great. Good friend of mine. And I
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: respect him quite a bit and all his beliefs. So
• 3:04
  Speaker 5: this isn't some kind of a A fight in any way,
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: it's a conversation because I truly admire how much he
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: believes and what he believes. And this is sort of
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: the conversation I want to have today is just getting
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: to know what other people think and why. And that's important.
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: When you come to the table, whether it be on politics, religion, whatever,
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: you come to the table and you try to understand
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: each other instead of being keyboard heroes and fighting each
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: other and just... yelling. That just gets nowhere. So I
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: want to hear what Rocky has to say, and he's
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: so kind to come on kind of early, but sort
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: of prime time, if you will. From 7 to 7.30.
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: And 7.30 to 8, we have a soul coach, Jessica Broder,
• 3:52
  Speaker 5: coming on. Goodness gracious, and that is going to blow
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: you away. I'm telling you, you're going to The things
• 4:00
  Speaker 5: that are going to come to life right before your
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: eyes when she talks about how you operate through the
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: stars and beyond is going to blow you away. I
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: think you're going to really find that segment pretty amazing
• 4:15
  Speaker 5: and pretty eye-opening and enlightening. It's just one of those
• 4:20
  Speaker 5: things you can reflect upon yourself on some of the
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: things that she's going to talk about. to see where
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: you sit in life and how things are working out
• 4:31
  Speaker 5: for you. And that's what a soul coach does. And,
• 4:34
  Speaker 5: but we'll learn more about that between the seven 30
• 4:38
  Speaker 5: and eight hour and that eight to eight 30 lady
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: Mo coming on. She may join us a little before
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: that as well. And we're just going to have a
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: nice conversation. My guess is we're going to continue the
• 4:52
  Speaker 5: conversation from goodness gracious, because it's going to be a
• 4:55
  Speaker 5: pretty big topic today. Uh, and I think people are
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: going to have a lot of questions and we'll see
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: where that goes. Um, but Lady Mo coming on. And
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: then finally from eight 30 to nine, the intellectual wizard
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: Hayward Gatch will be on with me. And I'm not
• 5:12
  Speaker 5: sure what we're going to talk about there. We went
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: back and forth a few different times and, um, but
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: he has a lot to say and he's always been
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: somebody that, uh, when he comes on this show, you know,
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: you just got to listen to, he's got a lot
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: of facts, uh, backing everything he says. He's got a
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: lot of deep knowledge and I respect him. Um, I
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: respect everything that he says and does. And I, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: I take everything he says very seriously. It's like, cause
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: he's done a lot of research and he's just one
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: of those interesting people that, uh, when you talk to him, um,
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: you just get this, you get this feeling of just like, wow,
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: this is, this is somebody who has done a deep
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: dive on this topic and, um, and he's great. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: he'll be on. at the 8.30 to 9 time frame,
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: which is when I'll end. That's when the show will
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: end at that point for me. So again, Steve Elzey here.
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: Happy to be here. Interesting story coming in here today.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: So I was told to be here about 10 of
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: 6 to kind of get ready. And got into my
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: car and started driving. It takes me about 30 minutes
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: to get here. So I was like, I'm going to
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: get there a little early. I'm going to go to
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: Dunkin' Donuts over here in Ledgerd. And, you know, get
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: a donut, get a get a get a coffee, get
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: myself ready to go. And as I'm pulling up to
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Dunkin Donuts and a motorcycle coming the other way. Appears
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: to try to be getting into Dunkin Donuts, but going
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: way too fast, way too fast and slides. Literally slide
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: like kind of like puts the bike down and slides
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: probably 25 feet. and sort of ends up right in
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: front of my car, probably 15 feet. Like I saw
• 7:00
  Speaker 5: it coming out, saw it coming at me. And I'm like,
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: Oh my God, this guy, this motorcycle is going to
• 7:05
  Speaker 5: hit me. Um, you know, sparks are sort of flying everywhere.
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: And this guy's sort of like riding the bike. So
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: it stops and he seems to be okay from the get-go.
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: And he's trying to pick up his bike and behind,
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: and like, this is a pretty busy part of, of,
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: of ledger, right, right at the, There's a four corners there.
• 7:25
  Speaker 5: There's a Dunkin Donuts. There's a pizza place on the
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: other side. You know, lights, all kinds of things. And
• 7:34
  Speaker 5: so I get out of my car and this guy
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: is he's trying to. So here's the thing is, is
• 7:39
  Speaker 5: when as I kind of look at him now, he's
• 7:42
  Speaker 5: a bit older. He's he and he can't pick up
• 7:46
  Speaker 5: his bike like he cannot pick it up from the grounds.
• 7:51
  Speaker 5: to get it to stand up so he could then
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: try to ride it. He couldn't pick it up. So thankfully,
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: another car that was sort of behind the other lane,
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: his lane that he came from, gets out, guy gets out,
• 8:04
  Speaker 5: I get out of my car. And together, we pick
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: up this bike. And by the way, I'm not a
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: motorcycle rider. I think I've ridden one one time in
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: my life. And it was probably one time too many.
• 8:19
  Speaker 5: But I can tell you that that it was heavy.
• 8:22
  Speaker 5: It was really heavy. Like the bike was really heavy,
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: like surprisingly heavy. And this guy is this older gentleman
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: who was, who was wet because it's like, it's sprinkling
• 8:35
  Speaker 5: out or it's, or it's foggy out. Or so his,
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: his face is like completely drenched. Um, and he was
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: wearing this sort of cosmetic helmet, I would say, you know,
• 8:46
  Speaker 5: had like a, uh, a poofy thing on it. And, and, uh,
• 8:50
  Speaker 5: And his bike was sort of decorated with backpacks that
• 8:55
  Speaker 5: had some cosmetic stuff on it with some tassels and
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: kind of things on it. So first thing I say is,
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: are you okay? And the guy seemed absolutely lost. Lost. Like,
• 9:12
  Speaker 5: couldn't believe what had happened. Almost like he was in shock.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: And I said, well, let me help you out. And
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: me and this other gentleman... picked up the bike and,
• 9:21
  Speaker 5: you know, like I said, it was heavy. This guy,
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: this older gentleman was not, not going to pick this up.
• 9:26
  Speaker 5: This bike was not getting out of the road. So
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: he picks it up and he tries to start it.
• 9:30
  Speaker 5: And of course, of course it doesn't start. It's all,
• 9:33
  Speaker 5: it's all not working right. So together we move it
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: off the road. And then I kind of pull into
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Dunkin' Donuts myself, but, but, but the other guy, we
• 9:44
  Speaker 5: pull them up before we get them off before I
• 9:46
  Speaker 5: sort of let them go and I make sure he's OK,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: make sure he's fine. So my question and that was
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: my that was my good deed for the day, I guess.
• 9:56
  Speaker 5: My question, though, and it was sort of reaffirmed here,
• 10:00
  Speaker 5: is those of you who ride bikes, you know, what
• 10:04
  Speaker 5: is this? Today is the day where it's foggy, misting.
• 10:11
  Speaker 5: You know, does this affect your writing? Should you be
• 10:14
  Speaker 5: writing in this? Should this guy be writing to this?
• 10:16
  Speaker 5: That's question A. Question B is, is there an age
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: if this guy couldn't pick up his bike? Is there
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: an age that we should be saying, OK, you know,
• 10:27
  Speaker 5: you know, in part to be able to ride a bike?
• 10:31
  Speaker 5: You have to be able to pick it up off
• 10:33
  Speaker 5: the ground in case it falls down. You have to
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: be able to do some certain part of the lifting
• 10:39
  Speaker 5: process to work with it. I don't know. But I
• 10:41
  Speaker 5: can tell you that this was a pretty frail individual.
• 10:46
  Speaker 5: And I felt sorry for him. He was extremely distraught
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: over this. I'm sure his bike suffered a whole bunch
• 10:52
  Speaker 5: of damage. And he.
• 10:56
  Speaker 5: It was very thankful that we helped him because he
• 10:59
  Speaker 5: just couldn't, couldn't pick up the bike. Couldn't do it.
• 11:01
  Speaker 5: Couldn't do it. So if you're out there and you
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: know anything about bikes and you want to have a
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: conversation here, because this is, I felt for him and
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking, wow, I mean, you know, listen, the one
• 11:14
  Speaker 5: time I was on a bike, you know, I'm riding
• 11:17
  Speaker 5: it around and I think I just wrote it around
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: a neighborhood and I felt very free. And I understand that,
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: part of it. And I, and I, it was, it
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: was really nice to feel the wind in your hair,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: to feel like just not surrounded by anything and just going, going,
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: you know, fast and sort of furious and sort of
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: having that, that exhilarating energy as the wind gushes through
• 11:41
  Speaker 5: your face. It's, it's wonderful. But like, you also feel
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: extremely vulnerable and extremely vulnerable. Like I couldn't imagine like,
• 11:50
  Speaker 5: you know, a motorcycle in New York city with all
• 11:52
  Speaker 5: the traffic or, I don't know. I, I, at that moment,
• 11:56
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking to myself, boy, those who ride bikes, you guys,
• 12:01
  Speaker 5: you guys are good riders, man. You guys, you really
• 12:04
  Speaker 5: got to have your stuff together. If, if you're just
• 12:07
  Speaker 5: going to go through all the traffic and just not
• 12:10
  Speaker 5: worry about other things and, and be able to just navigate, uh,
• 12:14
  Speaker 5: at high speeds like that. Um, Because as I watched this,
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: I thought, this guy, it's just very vulnerable. He's very frail.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Nothing protecting him at all. Obviously, he tried to turn
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: and went too far down, slid, couldn't pull out of
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: the turn. And he almost killed himself. I almost ran
• 12:34
  Speaker 5: over him today. Thankfully, the weight of his bike stopped
• 12:41
  Speaker 5: before it got to my car. But boy, that would
• 12:44
  Speaker 5: have been an interesting start to the morning right there.
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: I may not have been here had I run over
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: the bike, I can tell you that. But so anyway,
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: if you've got anything about motorcycles and want to, you know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 5: chime into this conversation, you know, you can call obviously
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: 860-464-9490 and share your insights about how you do safety.
• 13:06
  Speaker 5: You know, how does that work? Um, cause I, I, uh,
• 13:16
  Speaker 5: I don't see it. I see it. It's very, I, I,
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: I can't do it. It wouldn't be for me, but
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: for those who can do it, boy, man, I'd love
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: to hear your story. Cause it's pretty incredible, pretty incredible, um,
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: on how you can navigate all that and not get killed.
• 13:31
  Speaker 5: I would be killed. I'd be dead in a minute,
• 13:33
  Speaker 5: in a minute.
• 13:35
  Speaker 7: Uh, yeah.
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: So that's, uh, that's my interesting story. A couple of
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: things about, uh, you know, what I've done recently that
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: I wanted to just, uh, make some notes of here. Uh,
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: tell you, I just recently played, uh, the Waterford public library,
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: you know, switching gears here a little bit. And it was,
• 13:56
  Speaker 5: I was reminded again, the importance of a library in
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: a town. And let me elaborate. I, uh, I had
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: a gig, uh, I think it was last Saturday at
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: the Waterford public library. And it was the final day
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: of the, um, of summer reading for kids. They have
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: like a weekly thing, events, you know, performers. And I
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: was sort of the final performer. They did one story,
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: one more story. It was great. But the library was
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: packed and I'm in the library and looking at just
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: the things that are going around on the flyers that
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: are up on the bulletin board. And I, like I said,
• 14:39
  Speaker 5: I was reminded at how powerful the, a library is
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: to a town and to the folks of a town
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: who look for things to do, look for clubs to join,
• 14:51
  Speaker 5: you know, look for activities to get involved in. It
• 14:54
  Speaker 5: was all of that and more. You know, I haven't
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: been to, you know, I play a lot of libraries,
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: but I haven't been to the Waterford Library and had
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: time to look around like I had this time in
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: quite some time since my kids were there, really. And
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: I was, I was impressed. Uh, I was very impressed
• 15:14
  Speaker 5: at the library. Now I've, I've also been in the
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: new London library, the same, the same sort of thing, um,
• 15:18
  Speaker 5: in new London. It was, you know, all set up
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: for community, for community folks to go in and to
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: find something to do, find a hobby, find a group
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: to join, you know, find a good book, learn, read
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: all of it. Um, It was excellent. And I just
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: wanted to kind of give a shout out to the
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: Waterford Public Library because they did such a great job
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: with the events. Every time I play there, whether it
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: be outside, inside, inside, it was this time, it was
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: kind of hot, there's always a good feeling. It's always
• 15:51
  Speaker 5: just positivity. And after the show, you know, Waterford recently
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: has put together on the duck pond there. They've kind
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: of rebuilt it, thanks to Rob Brule, with a great
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: landscaping and boardwalks or cement walks, I guess, and made
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: a really great walking park. And, you know, and so
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: after the show, you saw all the kids go over
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: to the duck pond and walk around it and feed
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: the turtles. I don't know. Listen, if you guys are
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: down there at Waterford, you know, and you go to
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: the duck pond, if you go on the big part
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: of the bridge, there's giant turtles in there. It's amazing.
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: It's just, it's such a great learning experience or just
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: a relaxing experience. I go there quite a bit and
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: just walk around. It's just a nice, nice place. And
• 16:46
  Speaker 5: I remember where Rob, Rob Brule, I used to work
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: with Rob and years ago and before he was first
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: selectman of Waterford. And he would tell me these ideas
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: he had that what he would do while, while, while
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: first selectman. And it was, this park was one of the,
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: one of the, uh, sort of like the focus, uh, points.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: And he had his, all his ideas, how he was
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: going to pull it together. And we'd kind of, you know,
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: chime about it over coffee, you know, before we started our,
• 17:17
  Speaker 5: our daily work back then, this was like 2017, 18, 19. And,
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: you know, and then, you know, some years later he
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: becomes first selectman, you know, again, more power to Rob
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: and does a great job. And, uh, all that he
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: had talked about, and I remember it, you know, is
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: sort of there. And he did it. You know, so
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: Rob has been, Rob has certainly been a powerful force
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: for the town of Waterford. But anyway, I just wanted
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: to say, Waterford Public Library, great job. We have a
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: great show coming up. And let's get to, we're going
• 17:51
  Speaker 5: to get to a break right now, and then we're
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: going to pull on our Our first guest, which will
• 17:54

• 29:09
  Speaker 5: up there. Joanne, are you there?
• 29:10
  Speaker 27: I am.
• 29:11
  Speaker 38: Good morning.
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: Hey, welcome. Welcome here to 94.9. And how are you today?
• 29:18
  Speaker 38: I'm doing fabulous. I'm very excited to be on today's
• 29:21
  Speaker 38: show and very privileged that you asked me to talk
• 29:24
  Speaker 38: about Chestnut Street Playhouse today.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, in our conversations before that we've had
• 29:30
  Speaker 5: over the past few months, you know, you were just
• 29:34
  Speaker 5: sort of telling me a little bit about what happens there.
• 29:38
  Speaker 5: You know, you got a nice fall, you know, season
• 29:42
  Speaker 5: coming up. What's coming up to the fall that we
• 29:44
  Speaker 5: all should know about? And tell us a little bit
• 29:46
  Speaker 5: about the theater itself.
• 29:48
  Speaker 38: Sure, great, thanks. So the theater is a community theater
• 29:52
  Speaker 38: in downtown Norwich, Connecticut, and we're built on volunteers. So
• 29:57
  Speaker 38: When I say we're a nonprofit, all of our actors,
• 30:00
  Speaker 38: actresses do it for the love of the show. They're
• 30:02
  Speaker 38: all volunteers. So that means all the ticketing revenue that
• 30:06
  Speaker 38: we earned leaves the building open, pays for our operations.
• 30:10
  Speaker 38: And then every fall we have a golf tournament that,
• 30:12
  Speaker 38: you know, pays for all of our, well, not all
• 30:15
  Speaker 38: of our, but for most of the building and repairs
• 30:18
  Speaker 38: and maintenance. But our theater is a cultural hub downtown Norwich, Connecticut,
• 30:23
  Speaker 38: and we just open it up to the community. We
• 30:26
  Speaker 38: do five productions a year, and then we bookend the
• 30:29
  Speaker 38: productions with community, just like ball festivals. We have the
• 30:35
  Speaker 38: play fest and any other options for community to come
• 30:39
  Speaker 38: in and use our building to support their needs.
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and a little bit about the building now. This
• 30:46
  Speaker 5: was an old firehouse. Do I have that right?
• 30:49
  Speaker 38: You do. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, funny, exciting history that
• 30:53
  Speaker 38: we have there when people come in. We're a 1900
• 30:56
  Speaker 38: firehouse where Norwich hosts one.
• 30:58
  Speaker 5: So cool.
• 30:59
  Speaker 38: We repurposed it into a 67-seat black box theater. One
• 31:04
  Speaker 38: of the things that I always love to tell people
• 31:05
  Speaker 38: is when they come into the box office, when they
• 31:07
  Speaker 38: enter in for a production, we welcome them in the
• 31:10
  Speaker 38: horse barn. So the horse barn where the horses used
• 31:13
  Speaker 38: to stay to pull the fire apparatuses is where we
• 31:17
  Speaker 38: repurposed into our box office. There's culture everywhere. The fire
• 31:22
  Speaker 38: department has given us historical photos throughout the years, the
• 31:25
  Speaker 38: city of Norwich. So it really is a trip down
• 31:29
  Speaker 38: memory lane. And when you look at the front of
• 31:31
  Speaker 38: our building, the three bay windows are the old firehouse
• 31:34
  Speaker 38: doors that those horse-drawn apparatuses would pull in and out. Generationally,
• 31:40
  Speaker 38: it was opened probably until about 20, well, 30 years ago.
• 31:45
  Speaker 38: And honestly, the person that's doing Hamlet, we'll get to
• 31:49
  Speaker 38: that in a second. He is the son of a
• 31:52
  Speaker 38: firefighter that retired out of that house. So Chestnut Street
• 31:56
  Speaker 38: Playhouse is very fortunate to host his retirement party for
• 31:59
  Speaker 38: a full circle moment.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: You know, I love the history that's there. And that's
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: the first thing, you know, when I went in there,
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: you know, and saw it, you know, not too long ago,
• 32:09
  Speaker 5: that's the first thing that captured my imagination was just
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: this history, this old firehouse look. And then when you
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: walk in, you know, the sort of the concessions area,
• 32:21
  Speaker 5: It's got a very cool appeal as well. It's very artsy. And,
• 32:26
  Speaker 5: you know, the magic is when you walk through those
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: doors into the theater. For me. I just felt like
• 32:31
  Speaker 5: I was on an off-Broadway theater somewhere. And the black
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: box theater, the seats, the lighting grid, the attention to
• 32:41
  Speaker 5: detail in the production that was there at the time
• 32:43
  Speaker 5: that I saw it, it was just magic. It really was.
• 32:47
  Speaker 5: And I felt so inspired by it all. I felt
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: like this is a space where productions can be born
• 32:57
  Speaker 5: and grown. and really sort of, like, come into their own.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: It's a space where so many people can creatively think
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: of something they want to give back to the community
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: in the form of theater or music or what have you,
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: and they can just do it right there. It's just
• 33:14
  Speaker 5: so powerful. And it's not far from the town hall, right? It's, like,
• 33:19
  Speaker 5: right there. Oh, yeah, absolutely.
• 33:22
  Speaker 38: We're in the shadows of town hall.
• 33:24
  Speaker 39: Yeah.
• 33:25
  Speaker 38: You know, we're literally in downtown city of Norwich. We
• 33:29
  Speaker 38: have that iconic city hall building. We have the iconic
• 33:33
  Speaker 38: five-way stop in the middle. We have our main street.
• 33:35
  Speaker 38: And then, you know, we have us. And our building
• 33:39
  Speaker 38: just stands very tall as a cultural bookmark in downtown Norwich, Connecticut. But, yeah,
• 33:45
  Speaker 38: our theater is very transformative. Every room has a purpose.
• 33:51
  Speaker 38: And I love the way you say how you walk
• 33:52
  Speaker 38: in and into this theater, and it's just inspiring. For
• 33:56
  Speaker 38: those that don't know, Black Box Theater is just that.
• 33:59
  Speaker 38: You know, take a room, paint all the walls black,
• 34:02
  Speaker 38: and it's a blank canvas. So our community comes in,
• 34:05
  Speaker 38: and they think creatively, and then they build that thought
• 34:09
  Speaker 38: process for that show in that moment. And every time
• 34:13
  Speaker 38: a show is taken down, they strip it down to
• 34:16
  Speaker 38: the black box, and then it's rebuilt again for the
• 34:19
  Speaker 38: next one.
• 34:20
  Speaker 40: So.
• 34:21
  Speaker 38: No matter how many times you come into our 67-seat
• 34:24
  Speaker 38: Black Box Theater, you will be in a different dimension,
• 34:27
  Speaker 38: a different thought process. And that brings us into our
• 34:30
  Speaker 38: fall lineup. It's crazy what we have going on there.
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: Yeah, let's hear it.
• 34:34
  Speaker 38: We're very fortunate to have so many availability and music
• 34:39
  Speaker 38: productions and arts available to the surrounding community for the fall.
• 34:44
  Speaker 5: So you said it was volunteers. So if someone wants
• 34:49
  Speaker 5: to get involved, how do they do that?
• 34:51
  Speaker 38: Sure, yeah, they can reach out to our website, chestnutstreetplayhouse.org.
• 34:58
  Speaker 38: They're always looking for volunteers. We have volunteers that run concession.
• 35:03
  Speaker 38: We have volunteers that run box office. We have volunteers
• 35:06
  Speaker 38: that run load-in. You know, we are the heart of volunteers.
• 35:11
  Speaker 38: We couldn't pay these people enough. And, you know, they
• 35:15
  Speaker 38: get this value out of it. They get a family.
• 35:17
  Speaker 38: They get a purpose. And I think, you know, the
• 35:20
  Speaker 38: thing that I like to express most about community theater is,
• 35:24
  Speaker 38: you know, we're that entry level. You know, we're there for, hey,
• 35:29
  Speaker 38: I think I might like to learn how to run
• 35:31
  Speaker 38: a soundboard.
• 35:32
  Speaker 41: Yep.
• 35:33
  Speaker 38: Or I've always enjoyed lighting. I'd love to learn how
• 35:36
  Speaker 38: to do lighting track or be a director or stage manager.
• 35:40
  Speaker 38: So we get a lot of these junior high, high
• 35:41
  Speaker 38: schoolers that just want to kind of check things out.
• 35:45
  Speaker 38: And we welcome them with open arms.
• 35:47
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 35:47
  Speaker 38: Yeah. It's just incredible. We've had a few people that
• 35:51
  Speaker 38: have started out as Tiny Tim and the Christmas Carol
• 35:54
  Speaker 38: and ended up being the lead actress in Mean Girls
• 35:58
  Speaker 38: with our high school, and now they're off to New
• 36:00
  Speaker 38: York City in college. So community means we meet you
• 36:04
  Speaker 38: where you are, and if you're interested in theater and art,
• 36:07
  Speaker 38: then we welcome you in to just let you express yourself.
• 36:11
  Speaker 5: I love it. Again, we're talking to Joanne, the president's
• 36:14
  Speaker 5: of the Chestnut Street Playhouse in Norwich. And so there
• 36:19
  Speaker 5: you have it. You just heard right there that if
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: you want to volunteer, anybody out there that has aspirations
• 36:23
  Speaker 5: of being a producer, director, an actor, an actress, you know, writing,
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: technical skills, there is a space for you there. And
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: this is new. It's happening now. And it is brilliant.
• 36:37
  Speaker 5: It is amazing. It is inspirational. It is such a
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: great spot. for Norwich to have or anywhere to have
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: in southeastern Connecticut. So tell us a little bit about
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: some of the productions that are in work and works
• 36:52
  Speaker 5: right now and, you know, what goes into a production
• 36:56
  Speaker 5: at the Chestnut Street Playhouse. How does that work?
• 36:59
  Speaker 38: Sure. So let me, you know, let me tell you
• 37:01
  Speaker 38: a little bit about our fall lineup.
• 37:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 37:04
  Speaker 38: We have a– it's called New England– theater studio and
• 37:12
  Speaker 38: they are in resident at chestnut street playhouse so we
• 37:14
  Speaker 38: have a we support another uh theater company all by
• 37:18
  Speaker 38: themselves who didn't have a brick and mortar place to
• 37:20
  Speaker 38: go so we um we have a contract with them
• 37:23
  Speaker 38: they're coming in and now they're producing inside of our
• 37:26
  Speaker 38: building and they're getting ready to stand up uh ham
• 37:29
  Speaker 38: hamlet shakespeare's hamlet um and so nest is just incredible
• 37:35
  Speaker 38: they are you know building um All of the things
• 37:39
  Speaker 38: that go along with Hamlet.
• 37:41
  Speaker 10: So you said nest.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Is that what it is, nested? That's New England. What
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: is that, nest?
• 37:45
  Speaker 38: That is New England Studio Theater.
• 37:49
  Speaker 10: Okay, gotcha.
• 37:49
  Speaker 38: Michael Hinton and Kristen Alagaza. They are the two co-owners
• 37:57
  Speaker 38: of this nonprofit, and they are a standalone studio with
• 38:02
  Speaker 38: no brick and mortar. And they were looking for a residency,
• 38:05
  Speaker 38: and they came to us, and it was a perfect fit.
• 38:08
  Speaker 38: So this is the first year. It's a different concept,
• 38:12
  Speaker 38: but it's our community theater giving another non-brick-and-mortar nonprofit theater
• 38:19
  Speaker 38: a place for residency for the year. And they'll be
• 38:22
  Speaker 38: standing up Hamlet coming this fall. And that show is
• 38:27
  Speaker 38: going to be September 17th to the 27th. Tickets are
• 38:30
  Speaker 38: on sale now at chestnutstreetplayhouse.org.
• 38:33
  Speaker 21: Wow.
• 38:34
  Speaker 5: And so... You know, for each one of these productions,
• 38:37
  Speaker 5: and I see that you have a few here that
• 38:40
  Speaker 5: if you want to talk about, that's great. But each
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: one of these productions requires its own build-out for sets, correct?
• 38:47
  Speaker 38: That's correct. So they start about three months before the
• 38:50
  Speaker 38: show goes up. They have directors, producers. I'd say probably
• 38:54
  Speaker 38: five months before the show goes up, they do casting
• 38:57
  Speaker 38: calls and they pick all the cast. Three months, they
• 39:00
  Speaker 38: start doing set design. So you can imagine upstairs, second
• 39:04
  Speaker 38: floor has got the oncoming production doing their thing while
• 39:08
  Speaker 38: downstairs in the theater is running the show that is live.
• 39:12
  Speaker 38: And we cycle that way continuously. And then from there,
• 39:15
  Speaker 38: they do the set build. They do the lighting session.
• 39:19
  Speaker 38: They do tech week. They do sits probe where they
• 39:23
  Speaker 38: walk through everything with all the music for the tape
• 39:26
  Speaker 38: we have live pits um when we can fit it
• 39:29
  Speaker 38: in the budget uh so yeah so we go through
• 39:32
  Speaker 38: that entire cycle and we do it six times in
• 39:36
  Speaker 38: a year so you know we've got one production coming
• 39:40
  Speaker 38: up one production going down and then the third production
• 39:43
  Speaker 38: out is trying to cast at that time so we
• 39:46
  Speaker 38: are we're in Full mode, 12 months out of the year.
• 39:50
  Speaker 5: So if I was an aspiring actor or actress, so
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: to be part of these productions, I'd go on your
• 39:56
  Speaker 5: website and find the casting calls. Is that how this works?
• 39:59
  Speaker 38: It is, chestnutstreetplayhouse.org. We have the casting calls. We have
• 40:03
  Speaker 38: the upcoming, the work with us, our Facebook page, Chestnut
• 40:07
  Speaker 38: Street Playhouse. We have Instagram, TikTok, any social media platform.
• 40:12
  Speaker 38: And for anybody looking to sponsor or watch the business,
• 40:15
  Speaker 38: We have a LinkedIn page as well. So we are
• 40:18
  Speaker 38: out there on the market. And, you know, interesting enough,
• 40:21
  Speaker 38: we just closed the Secret Garden. And I love KPIs,
• 40:26
  Speaker 38: the key, you know, performance index indicators. And during the
• 40:30
  Speaker 38: closing of the Secret Garden, we were getting 117,000 hits
• 40:35
  Speaker 38: on our page for updates. And when it came to
• 40:40
  Speaker 38: casting of this next fall show that I'm going to
• 40:44
  Speaker 38: introduce next, people were looking at the casting callbacks and
• 40:49
  Speaker 38: to see who was going to, you know, be chosen
• 40:51
  Speaker 38: up in the 90,000 hit range. So, you know, there's,
• 40:55
  Speaker 38: there's some movement here at our theater and community theater
• 40:57
  Speaker 38: in downtown North Connecticut. We're alive and well, and I
• 41:01
  Speaker 38: feel like we're the best kept secret, but sure do
• 41:03
  Speaker 38: have a solid following. And I'm proud of that.
• 41:05
  Speaker 5: That is amazing. So good following a good way for
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: community to get involved, um, you know, in the creative arts.
• 41:14
  Speaker 5: So tell me what other productions are coming up and
• 41:17
  Speaker 5: then what is, you know, your plan for the future
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: for the theater? And it's really sort of building right now.
• 41:22
  Speaker 5: So what, where does it go from here?
• 41:24
  Speaker 38: So let me tell you about the fall and then
• 41:27
  Speaker 38: I'll tell you about the future. So we're running Hamlet,
• 41:30
  Speaker 38: September 17th to 27th. If you've ever think you've seen
• 41:33
  Speaker 38: Hamlet before, you've got to check us out. We're a,
• 41:36
  Speaker 38: you know, a three side stage, you know, 67 seats. So,
• 41:41
  Speaker 38: When you come to our theater, you are in the production.
• 41:45
  Speaker 38: Your actors and actresses are two feet away from you.
• 41:49
  Speaker 5: It's a very intimate space. I love that. I really do.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: I really love that intimacy like that. Yeah.
• 41:55
  Speaker 38: Yeah, it's incredible. You sat in that space and you
• 41:58
  Speaker 38: were just in awe. And it's amazing to have 25 people,
• 42:02
  Speaker 38: you know, simultaneously singing, you know, a scene. You just
• 42:06
  Speaker 38: don't know where they all fit. And it's just seamless
• 42:08
  Speaker 38: and miraculous. You've got to check us out. Definitely see
• 42:12
  Speaker 38: our schedule at chestnutstreetplayhouse.org and then take a look at
• 42:17
  Speaker 38: our tickets and come and at least check us out
• 42:19
  Speaker 38: at least once. You'll definitely come back. But I'm really
• 42:22
  Speaker 38: excited for October. We close out Hamlet. We bring our
• 42:27
  Speaker 38: upstairs production who is rehearsing downstairs. And we're doing Carrie
• 42:33
  Speaker 38: the musical for the Halloween run.
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: Love it.
• 42:38
  Speaker 38: Yeah, it's crazy. We're doing a Stephen King connection. It's
• 42:41
  Speaker 38: perfect Halloween timing.
• 42:43
  Speaker 5: It's iconic.
• 42:44
  Speaker 23: It's a horror story.
• 42:46
  Speaker 42: Yeah.
• 42:47
  Speaker 38: So it's not going to be your typical musical. It's dark.
• 42:49
  Speaker 38: It's emotional. It's powerful. And we're running on Halloween night. Wow.
• 42:55
  Speaker 38: So any of those theater buffs that want to come
• 42:58
  Speaker 38: and sit on Halloween night and come see Carrie the musical,
• 43:02
  Speaker 38: we are here for you.
• 43:03
  Speaker 5: Oh, my God.
• 43:04
  Speaker 38: Our director is Derek Carvo. He's amazing. He is both
• 43:09
  Speaker 38: onstage and offstage a powerhouse. And he just loves this show. And,
• 43:15
  Speaker 38: you know, he loves the power of the show, the
• 43:18
  Speaker 38: belonging in the community of Carrie, the musical. It's true
• 43:21
  Speaker 38: to the Stephen King, you know, stuff. And the cost,
• 43:26
  Speaker 38: you know, what it takes to in this horror movie
• 43:29
  Speaker 38: or his horror production. The cost of what it takes
• 43:32
  Speaker 38: to be that singer. So our lead actress is amazing.
• 43:35
  Speaker 21: We do have a call.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: She's going to be incredible. We do have a call
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: on hold. Do you want to take a call?
• 43:40
  Speaker 38: Yeah, I'd love to.
• 43:41

  Speaker 38: of Chestnut Street Playhouse. What show did you see when
• 44:38
  Speaker 38: you came down?
• 44:39
  Speaker 45: I knew you were going to ask that, and I
• 44:41
  Speaker 45: can't remember. But it was in the early 90s.
• 44:46
  Speaker 38: Okay.
• 44:48
  Speaker 45: I was in a Norris Arts Council production of The
• 44:52
  Speaker 45: King and I.
• 44:54
  Speaker 48: Oh, fabulous.
• 44:54
  Speaker 38: Yep.

  Speaker 45: That's incredible. I've been so blessed to experience so much

  Speaker 45: love and community spirit in the theater.
• 45:07
  Speaker 30: Yeah.
• 45:08
  Speaker 38: Grace, that's fantastic to hear. I'm so glad you got

  Speaker 38: an opportunity to come down to Chestnut Street Playhouse.

  Speaker 5: Grace, thank you for the call.
• 45:14

• 45:21
  Speaker 38: So thank you. Thank you so much for coming down
• 45:23
  Speaker 38: to Norwich and checking us out. We love our little
• 45:26
  Speaker 38: community theater right there in that little firehouse. So cool.
• 45:30
  Speaker 38: So thank you for calling in. That was wonderful.
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: Right, Joanne, we have about two minutes left. So how
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: about a quick future preview of what you're hoping to
• 45:37
  Speaker 5: do with the theater, and then we can take it
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: out from there.
• 45:40
  Speaker 38: Yeah, for sure. After Carrie the Musical, we go into
• 45:44
  Speaker 38: a comedy series. And we're doing the Games of Foot,
• 45:47
  Speaker 38: a Holmes for the Holidays, the Sherlock Holmes-type theme. We're
• 45:50
  Speaker 38: going to close out our 2016 with that. We also,
• 45:54
  Speaker 38: on October 7th, have our 20th annual golf tournament. All
• 46:00
  Speaker 38: the proceeds go towards, you know, fixing our building. So
• 46:04
  Speaker 38: that's really good. And that's all on our chestnutstreetplayhouse.org website.
• 46:09
  Speaker 38: And then just, you know, our community and our mission.

  Speaker 38: love our volunteers and partnerships. We love our sponsors. We
• 46:19
  Speaker 38: are dedicated sponsors. Help us, you know, be able to
• 46:23
  Speaker 38: fix things. It's expensive owning your own building.
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I can imagine.
• 46:27
  Speaker 7: And that's what we do as a nonprofit.
• 46:28
  Speaker 38: We own our own building. But check us out. You
• 46:31
  Speaker 38: can get tickets at juststreetplayhouse.org. You can follow us on Facebook.

• 46:44
  Speaker 38: out and be a part of that community with us.

  Speaker 32: Nepal says the number killed in the catastrophic flood has
• 52:58
  Speaker 32: climbed to 538 with about 1,500 missing. Time may be
• 53:03
  Speaker 32: running out to find more survivors where it appears everything

  Speaker 32: is buried under mud. And people face another danger, Fox's
• 53:09
  Speaker 32: Chanley Painter explains.
• 53:10
  Speaker 26: Overnight, a lake formed by the landslides began overflowing upstream,
• 53:15
  Speaker 26: putting at risk areas devastated by flash floods two days
• 53:18
  Speaker 26: ago and forcing rescue operations to stop for about 90 minutes.
• 53:23
  Speaker 26: Those rescue operations have now resumed since the overflow stopped.

• 53:35
  Speaker 32: in the murder trial of Lindsay Clancy, who killed her
• 53:37
  Speaker 32: three young children claiming postpartum psychosis. Yesterday, her defense attorney,
• 53:41

• 53:57
  Speaker 5: help you. My God, what does she have to do?
• 54:00
  Speaker 32: But prosecutor Jennifer Sprague says Clancy knew what she was
• 54:03
  Speaker 32: doing and that she told her family about thoughts of
• 54:05
  Speaker 32: killing her children, but not health care providers.
• 54:08
  Speaker 40: And why?
• 54:09
  Speaker 23: Because the police might take away her kids.
• 54:12
  Speaker 27: That's a rational thought.
• 54:14
  Speaker 28: And it also shows she knew it was a bad thought,
• 54:17
  Speaker 28: a wrong thought.

  Speaker 9: Rocky, welcome aboard.

  Speaker 7: Good morning, audience. Good morning, Steve. Pleasure to be here.
• 58:07
  Speaker 7: You're doing great. I was driving from Norwich in.
• 58:11
  Speaker 53: The fog to the station, and I'm listening to you.
• 58:14
  Speaker 5: You didn't crash, thankfully.
• 58:15
  Speaker 36: No.
• 58:18
  Speaker 7: I'm awake. I've been awake, actually.
• 58:20
  Speaker 53: Every time I have to come to the station, I'm
• 58:23
  Speaker 53: like I have a self- uh, mechanism that wakes me
• 58:26
  Speaker 53: up way ahead of time.
• 58:28
  Speaker 7: So I was here early. This is exciting stuff.
• 58:30
  Speaker 5: You know, it's always fun to be on the air
• 58:33
  Speaker 5: and talk. Well, listen, I brought, I brought you here because,
• 58:36
  Speaker 5: you know, I figured, um, We've known each other for
• 58:39
  Speaker 5: a long time. We have mutual friends. Archie, everybody knows
• 58:44
  Speaker 5: on this station that Rocky is an amazing photographer. He's
• 58:47
  Speaker 5: been a photographer for 35 years. 40 years. He was
• 58:52
  Speaker 5: using stones to make.
• 58:53
  Speaker 7: Images at one point. The dark ages. The beginning.
• 58:58
  Speaker 5: Stones and echo. He'd clap his hands and we'd get
• 59:00
  Speaker 5: the audio for video. I'm just kidding. We've known each
• 59:03
  Speaker 5: other for a long time and we have a great
• 59:06
  Speaker 5: respect for each other. I brought you here because it's
• 59:09
  Speaker 5: always a good conversation. Your conviction in religion and the
• 59:12
  Speaker 5: way you speak of it is amazing. And I just
• 59:15
  Speaker 5: got to say, it inspires me to be so devoted
• 59:21
  Speaker 5: like that. And so tell me a little bit, just
• 59:23
  Speaker 5: why are you so devoted? How does that work for you?
• 59:26
  Speaker 53: I tell you, and I said it once or twice
• 59:29
  Speaker 53: or more on my show.
• 59:31
  Speaker 54: Yeah.
• 59:31
  Speaker 7: I have, and I'll show it to you. You'll probably
• 59:33
  Speaker 7: see it. I can't remember which side. Right here, there's
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: a little mark.
• 59:36
  Speaker 5: I thought this was when you were boxing.
• 59:37
  Speaker 39: No.
• 59:38
  Speaker 7: No, no.
• 59:39
  Speaker 53: It's a little vein that my mother, when I was
• 59:42
  Speaker 53: 40 days old, I contracted a whooping cough.
• 59:46
  Speaker 9: Oh, okay.
• 59:47
  Speaker 53: To this day, if a child 40 days old gets
• 59:51
  Speaker 53: whooping cough, he may die.
• 59:52
  Speaker 7: They're too young.
• 59:53
  Speaker 53: Yeah. So my pediatrician told my mom, and this is
• 59:56
  Speaker 53: a story my mom told me a few times when
• 59:59
  Speaker 53: I was a kid. And Pedro Deschamps told my mom,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 53: I'm sorry, I can't do nothing.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 31: For the child.
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 53: And whooping cough develops a huge mucus that goes into
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 53: your throat and you basically die of asphyxiation.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 7: And my mom told me a story.
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 53: This little vein here, every time I was dying, she
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 53: picked me up from the crib, put her fingers in
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 53: my throat, picked up the mucus, put me back in
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 53: the crib, and then went to the bathroom.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 5: Like only a mom can right there.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 53: And went to throw up. It was gross, right? But
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 53: that little bubble never burst. And I appreciate your question.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 53: Why am I so dedicated? Every time, and I said
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 53: this on the air jokingly, of course, but every time
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 53: I look in the mirror every morning for 71 years,
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 53: when I look at my beautiful hair and I'm combing
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 53: and I'm trimming my beard and my.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 7: Mustache, right?
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 53: I am reminded daily for 71 years that my life
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 53: has been a gift, right?
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 7: Oh, by the way, I got to tell the end
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 7: of the story.
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 44: Of course.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 7: So 40 days, I lost a whole bunch of weight.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 53: I was born a fat Italian big-cheeked baby, and I
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 53: couldn't eat, couldn't retain anything.
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 53: But eventually, little by little, I recuperated, and these words
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 53: were spoken over me.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 7: Of course, my mom told me this.
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 27: Uh-huh.
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 53: The doctor told my mom, the hand of God first,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 53: and then the love of.
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 7: His mother saved the child.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: Mm-hmm.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 7: Steve, when my mom used to tell me this story, oh, yeah,
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 7: that's great. You know, that's great.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 42: Yeah.
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 53: It didn't come to hit me until I had my
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 53: own children. And I realized the love of my mother and,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 53: of course, the love of God first.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 7: Somewhere, somehow, God intervened. Say, lay off this kid. I
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 7: want him. I need him.
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 5: I love it. I love it.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 53: And therefore, so every day I wake up, it's a gift.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 53: I wasn't supposed to be alive.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 5: So, okay. So God, okay, I got the passion there.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 5: So here's the follow-up to it.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 36: Yes.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 5: Okay. So the follow-up is like this. It's can I
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 5: or can someone have a relationship with God even though
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 5: you don't believe in religion?
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 53: Well, it says in the Holy Scripture, it says, faith
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 53: comes by hearing and hearing the word of God.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 7: We have, by the way, you remember.
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 5: Let me just rephrase that a little bit for you
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 5: so it's a little bit easier. So my point is this.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 5: Can I believe in God and not believe in the Bible?
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 55: No.
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 53: Well, you can believe in an entity.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 7: You can perceive a force. But the Bible is a
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 7: blueprint of what God.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 53: sent us. Imagine your father sends you a letter. No,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 53: of course, I'm sorry Vic and your mom is gone,
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 53: but imagine your earthly father goes far, far away and
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 53: sends you a letter and arrives and another letter three
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 53: months later and you never bother to pick it up
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 53: or open it. Wouldn't that be disrespectful? Wouldn't you want
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 53: to know what your dad's got to say? He's probably
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 53: at the North Pole or the South Pole.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 5: But don't they say God is within, right? But you
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 5: have to believe. So if you believe, so my point is.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 7: And to believe, you must learn. How do you learn?
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 5: And by the way, if you want to join in
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 5: on the conversation, 860-464-9490, and Rocky and I will try
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 5: to help you out in any of this stuff here.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 53: But my point is so— So wouldn't you want to
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 53: read what your heavenly father wrote you?
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing. So the Bibles.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 37: Yes.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 21: Yes.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 5: They contradict themselves a lot.
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 39: Of course.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 18: Of course.
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 5: Humans are not perfect.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 44: Right.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 5: So that's what I'm saying. It was written by humans,
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 5: not by God.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 5: And not only that, but it was also written, I
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 5: don't know, 40 to 60 years after at least the
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 5: first Bible.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 7: The New Testament you're talking about.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 5: That's right, of the birth of Christ, of the death
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 5: of Christ.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 27: So how— listen.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 5: I can't write a story about my two weeks ago.
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 5: Maybe that's just me, but I couldn't imagine writing a
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 5: story about my life 40 years ago and have any
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 5: sort of accuracy whatsoever.
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 53: So, Steve, it's not meant to be a scientific writing.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 53: It's meant to inspire your soul, your spirit.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 7: So it's a story.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 5: It's a story.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but you have a spirit.
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 53: See, you remember the great show that we had last year,
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 53: Creation vs.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 7: Evolution? Yeah, with Lee. I started with these words. Yeah,
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 7: he slipped it.
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 7: I started with these words when it came for me
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 7: to speak. I don't know if you remember. I am
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 7: a spirit.
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 7: I have a soul. Yes. And I dwell in a body.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 18: Gotcha.
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 22: Gotcha.
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 7: I was me. The real me. It is not June 23rd, 1955.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 5: Gotcha.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 53: That's when my body was born by the, by the
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 53: miracle of birth through a woman's womb.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 7: But my spirit was alive.
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 9: I don't know how long.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 5: I agree with that.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 7: So, so there is another dimension.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 5: But is there, so you're saying spirit. So, so can I,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 5: can you call it God?
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 5: And can I call it, spirituality and energy. Something different.
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 5: Can we arrive at the same thought process, but through
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 5: a different vehicle?
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 53: I believe you can perceive a spiritual entity, a force,
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 53: or whatever you want to call it, but Once you
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 53: perceive it, wouldn't you want to know about it?
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 7: Wouldn't you want to learn?
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 5: So in my perception of it, it's energy from the earth.
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 5: There's no conscious being. So my divine power comes from
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 5: the earth, and this is my just personal regret.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 7: I understand. I respect that. I'm not telling you anything.
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 5: But here's the thing, is we could be talking the
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 5: same thing. But we're not. But calling it something different.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 18: But we're not.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 7: We could be, though. Because my spirit has a purpose.
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 53: It was formed, it was produced by an entity, a force,
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 53: how you call it, right?
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 9: A God.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 7: And he puts in motion everything.
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 53: And there is a reason why I was, the Bible
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 53: says every spirit has to come together. because it's his plan,
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 53: comes into the womb, actually at the moment of conception.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 5: The Bible that was written by man says this.
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 44: Yes.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 53: At the moment of conception, there's a spirit that goes
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 53: into the belly.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 5: Gotcha.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 7: And it's born with that child.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 5: I get the soul business.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 42: So....
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 7: There is a purpose.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 53: So what you're saying about energy, so when you die,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 53: God forbid, 100 years from now, you're done.
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 7: That's it, right?
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 5: Well, my energy continues on through something else.
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 44: Where does it go?
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 5: It goes back into the earth to something else.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 53: Well, my energy goes exactly where God wants it.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 7: And it's precise.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 53: And it's not a mistake.
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 7: It's not an accident. It's a divine. I don't know
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 7: how it works.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, listen.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 7: I can't prove it to you. But I believe it.
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 42: Why?
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 5: And that's why I love your— that' s why I asked the
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 5: first question, is your conviction so much. So how is
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 5: it then that if you can't prove it, and we
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 5: know that the Bible was written by man.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 44: Yes.
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 5: And listen, and we know that the King James Bible
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 5: is different than this Bible.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 9: Of course.
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 5: We have different versions of this story, so it's very
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 5: difficult to know which one is true, right? But they
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 5: all have a similar notion. But you— I got it.
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 53: But if you— you must have faith. If you don't have faith,
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 53: you can't see what I'm seeing. You can't learn what
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 53: I learned. There is an element that must be there
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 53: if you want to really— In other words, if you
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 53: don't believe it, it's your privilege. God doesn't force anybody.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 53: But you cannot believe there's a God without faith. And
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 53: faith is not something you go to the grocery store
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 53: or Super Walmart and buy it.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 5: But I can believe energy because I can feel it.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 5: I can sense it. I can monitor it through electrical
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 5: impulses of my body, of a plant's body, of an
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 5: elephant's body. We can monitor the pressures being changed.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 7: Where does it come from?
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 44: The earth.
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 7: The earth like a piece of rock?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 5: That's what it is.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 7: Is it not?
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 53: Well, no, I don't. It's a living. I respect your belief, but.
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 7: I disagree 100%.
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 53: It's a supernatural power that decided.
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 7: In his wisdom.
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 53: To put in motion the universe. And we're part of
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 53: the universe. And to not take the time to even
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 53: learn or try to perceive what's being said.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 7: By the way, isn't it?
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 53: It's ridiculous to think that men and women throughout the
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 53: ages took the time to write down.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 7: They got persecuted.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 53: Most of the apostles got beat up in jail, tortured, crucified, stoned.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 7: Why would they all do that?
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 16: Why?
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 5: That's a great question.
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 7: Because what? They're crazy?
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 5: Well, I don't think anybody's crazy for their beliefs. Just
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 5: so you know.
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 7: No, but what I'm saying is there is a cost.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 7: Believe me.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 53: Some people think maybe I'm nuts for saying all that
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 53: I'm saying. I'm being judged by regular folks thinking maybe.
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 7: I'm too much.
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 5: So after you die, what happens?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 7: The spirit goes back where it belongs.
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 5: And where is that?
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 7: With God. Where is it?
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 53: I don't know the postal office.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 38: I don't know.
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 5: What actually happens? So you go back to God. What
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 5: does that mean?
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 53: Because we come from God. We are created spirits. And
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 53: it goes back to where it belongs. And at the
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 53: end of this earth age, which is close, not tomorrow,
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 53: but it's close. Our Redeemer, our King, the King of Kings,
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 53: returns to earth. The Bible says it'll be at peace.
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 5: So you think Jesus is coming back?
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 21: Of course.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 5: Okay. What about the other religions? So if I'm from
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 5: another religion, am I going to hell?
• 1:10:36
  Speaker 53: I'm not responsible to tell you anything. I'm just asking
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 53: what you think. But other religion will tell you what
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 53: they believe. And if your faith goes in that direction,
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 53: so be it.
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 5: So that's the catch here. So who's right and who's wrong?
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 7: Listen, Steve, I have never told anyone... If you don't believe...
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 7: And some religions do that. Some churches do that. If
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 7: you don't believe what I believe, you go to hell.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 7: I never said that in my life.
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 53: But I will boldly proclaim that which I learned.
• 1:11:11
  Speaker 7: I may even be wrong. But that which I learned,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 7: I believe.
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 5: That's why this is a great conversation.
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 9: Right, right.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 53: I'm not saying I'm perfect, and I'm not judging anybody.
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 53: But as for me and my house.
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 7: We shall serve the Lord. I.
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 7: It's your responsibility.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 53: To, if you have the desire, to explore. You know
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 53: how many hours you probably spent doing music or researching
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 53: an artist or whatever?
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 47: Yeah.
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 7: How many hours have you spent learning the Bible? Just because.
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 40: Yeah.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 7: Have you?
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 56: No.
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 7: So you see, the Bible is very clear.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 5: So here's the thing. It's tough for me to go
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 5: down learning the Bible. And listen, my brother and I
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 5: went to Sunday school.
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 25: Of course.
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 5: We did all that business in the beginning. It's just tough,
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 5: you know, rose from the dead, water into wine, part
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 5: the seas.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 7: But that's the beauty.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 53: Steve, were you good in school in arithmetic or algebra?
• 1:12:24
  Speaker 7: Do you remember those days?
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 5: I do remember those days.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 33: Okay.
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 7: In algebra, you learn it's a process. You have to
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 7: go like an equation.
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 53: You have to do this first and that first and
• 1:12:36
  Speaker 53: then second and that. The faith is like it's mathematics.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 53: Once you start seeing things, once you start understanding.
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 5: So I would argue my faith is the mathematics in
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 5: the earth's energy.
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 5: So I would argue I am seeing that, but just
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 5: in a different form.
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 7: I respect that.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 1:12:59
  Speaker 5: And that's why I say I have no doubt. Anybody
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 5: out there, whatever their beliefs are, I mean, Rocky and
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 5: I don't care.
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 7: No. I'm not responsible.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 5: We're not responsible for anything.
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 4: No, I'm not.
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 5: We're having a conversation. And by the way, if you
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 5: want to join the conversation, 860-464-9490. Ask a question for Rock.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 5: Ask a question for me. All of it is one
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 5: of those things where we can only give our best
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 5: opinions because... as Rocky so eloquently said before, and I
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 5: can say myself, is you just got to believe what
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 5: you believe. And there's no real way that either of
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 5: us can prove anything. That's right. But it's a great conversation.
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 5: And that's why I started it was how is your
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 5: conviction with it? Because I am truly amazed because I
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 5: know a lot of folks with different beliefs. views of everything.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 5: Even than you and I have. And they are passionate
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 5: about it. And there are some that believe in zero.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 5: I believe there's an energy source.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 16: A pool.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 7: They don't even believe that.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 5: So there's all sorts out there and they all have
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 5: their reasoning for it. And they all can be good people.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 5: And they all can do amazing things.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 25: Sure.
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 5: And I would just argue that in the end, you know,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 5: whether there's energy or whoever, if we're being judged by anything,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 5: we're not being judged on what we do in a
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 5: day-to-day prayer, but we're being judged on our actions as
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 5: a human. That's all I would say.
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 7: No, I agree. And like I said, I came to.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 53: To the Lord, so to speak. I, like you, I
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 53: was born and raised Catholic. I went to the Catechism,
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 53: the First Communion, the Christening, and all that. But it was,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 53: it was like, almost like a book knowledge. Then you
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 53: come to a point, and it happened to me in 1983,
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 53: after the birth of my first daughter on July 24th, 1982. Steve,
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 53: when I became a father, that brought me to believe
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 53: In the love of God that granted....
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 7: God so loved the world that he gave his only
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 7: begotten son.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 53: In other words, fatherhood made me believe, accept that there
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 53: is an entity that loves me so much. No matter
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 53: what I do, I'm forgiven, provided I go to my
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 53: father and say, I'm sorry.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 7: I didn't mean to do that.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 40: No, I.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 7: And that's the.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 5: And that's from a specific religion. But, like, you know,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 5: I have a lot of great friends. Some of my
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 5: best friends are Jewish.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 58: Sure.
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 5: It's just different, right?
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 7: It's the same God or Israel.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 5: Same God, different, but has no Jesus.
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 6: Right, right.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: So this is the thing.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 7: But I respect them.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 5: You know, and so if there is no Jesus, how
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 5: does that work for you?
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 7: There is a Jesus, I believe.
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 5: Okay, so now we have a disconnect again, right?
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 53: If you read Isaiah, which is one of the old,
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 53: old prophets, Isaiah, you see Jesus.
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 7: In other words, it's amazing. You couldn't plan it.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 53: Five, six hundred years earlier, Somebody prophesied something, and it
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 53: comes to pass with Jesus. The stripes, crucifixion, forgiving of
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 53: sin through the shedding of the blood of the Lamb.
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 5: Right.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 7: You couldn't script it 700 years later.
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 5: So let me ask you. So do you believe in, like, say, manifestation?
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 44: Of course.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 5: Do you believe in, like, psychics?
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 56: No.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 40: No.
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 53: Well, there are psychics, yeah. There are people that have
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 53: those kind of gifts.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 5: So you do believe in them?
• 1:16:45
  Speaker 7: Yeah, but they're not godly.
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 7: They don't have to be godly, but they could be godly. Depends.
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 7: A prophet is... I mean, a prophet could be considered
• 1:16:55
  Speaker 7: a psychic.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 55: Could be.
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 5: And that has a different... So a prophet or a
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 5: psychic definitely has different abilities than you and I.
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 7: A prophet, in my book, from what we learned, is inspired....
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 53: It's a human being inspired by God. It's a human
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 53: being inspired by God.
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 7: To say some, to prophesize.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 10: Okay.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 7: It's not a psychic. He's not.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 42: Yes.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 44: He's not.
• 1:17:22
  Speaker 7: He's not. He's not.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 53: He doesn't want 20 bucks and tell you if you're
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 53: going to win the lottery tomorrow.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 7: It's not.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 5: I kind of, why not? I think we have a call.
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, sure.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 5: We have a call. I think Glenn is calling it. Glenn,
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 5: how are you? Are you there?
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 7: Good morning, Glenn. Good morning, Glenn.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 5: Glenn, can you hear us?
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 35: Yes, good morning, gentlemen.
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 5: Hey, good morning, Glenn. Thanks for calling in today.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 35: So calling in to continue on this discussion, what I
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 35: find interesting is, so I grew up in a household
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 35: my entire life where I basically was atheist, just didn't
• 1:17:55
  Speaker 35: believe in religion.
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 59: I came to the Lord.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 35: My real late teens, early 20s is when.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 60: I came to the Lord.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 35: And to answer some of the stuff that you're talking about, Steve,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 35: and maybe it's a little bit more elegant than what
• 1:18:11
  Speaker 35: Rocky's trying to say, is look at the Bible from
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 35: a secular point of view.
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 35: Let's look at the Bible as a history book, and
• 1:18:21
  Speaker 35: nothing but a history book.
• 1:18:22
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 35: Just like any other history book that's ever written. And
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 35: if you look at every other history book by archaeologists,
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 35: by all these other scientists, they've made changes through the
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 35: course of history. Changes have been made. But the Bible,
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 35: which has been the most challenged book on the planet
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 35: for man, all around the globe, all the same science,
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 35: the Bible there's nothing in the Bible that has ever,
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 35: ever been proven wrong. Now, not everything's been proven, but
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 35: everything that has been proven has been correct. Nothing has
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 35: ever been wrong. So that starts to build a foundation
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 35: of trust and faith. And that's where some of the
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 35: faith comes from as to, okay, There's something here. There's
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 35: something legit about this. As far as the spirit and
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 35: what you're talking about and going back to the Earth, well,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 35: why is the planet Earth the only one that has energy?
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 35: Why doesn't the moon have energy? I mean, literally, there's
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 35: no energy from the moon in the way that you're
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 35: talking about, Steve, with regards to energy and how it
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 35: moves from one force to another, from person to person.
• 1:19:34
  Speaker 35: to a tree or to the back of the rocks
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 35: or whatever. None of the other planets have it, but
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 35: Earth does. So what or who created that energy to
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 35: be able to do that? Again, another stepping stone is
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 35: building a foundation of trust. And if you accept that,
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 35: that starts to build what Rocky's talking about with a process.
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 35: You're going to start to learn to accept it in process.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 35: And then when I've had a few experiences in life,
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 35: I've come to realize that there is a Lord and Savior.
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 35: I do believe in God. I do believe that Jesus
• 1:20:07
  Speaker 35: came down and came to redeem my sins, and that
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 35: someday I will go in front of the Lord. Now,
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 35: is the Lord in space?
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 5: You've got about 30 seconds to see.
• 1:20:17
  Speaker 35: If you know. Nobody really knows. I don't think that's
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 35: all speculative. But that's the process, I think, that Rocky's
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 35: trying to talk about, how there's a foundation. It starts
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 35: to build. And as you learn, as you build your faith,
• 1:20:34
  Speaker 35: you come to understanding the conviction that and the belief
• 1:20:38
  Speaker 35: that there is a God.
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 5: Hey, thank you for the call, Glenn.
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Glenn.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, listen, you can look at it as
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 5: who created the world, or you can look at it
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 5: as a scientific way it happened. You know, how much time?
• 1:20:54
  Speaker 5: We have a couple minutes left, so here we go. Rocky,
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 5: thank you. I think we're wrapping it up right now.
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 7: Thank you, Steve, for having me. You're the best.
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 23: We're going to be on here.
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 5: I would love to continue this conversation.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 7: Anytime you want.
• 1:21:04
  Speaker 37: Anytime.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 7: I appreciate it.
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 5: Because there's so many more questions I have. Of course.
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 7: Oh, by the way, just real quick. I'm not a
• 1:21:10
  Speaker 7: trained theologian or I went to school. I'm just a believer.
• 1:21:14
  Speaker 7: That's all. Hey, daydream believer.

• 1:27:05
  Speaker 21: in 1972, something happened at the Summer Olympics in Munich,
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 21: West Germany that had never happened before. Mark Spitz of
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 21: Team USA put on a clinic. He won the 200-meter butterfly,
• 1:27:16
  Speaker 21: and he kept winning. He'd go on to win seven
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 21: gold medals in total at those Olympic Games, and in
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 21: the process, set seven new world records, too. It was
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 21: an Olympic feat that nobody thought would ever be duplicated.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 10: But you know how sports goes. Records are made to
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 10: be broken.
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 21: And Michael Phelps came along at the Beijing Olympics and
• 1:27:35
  Speaker 21: won eight gold medals, then four more in London, and
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 21: then five more in Rio. Phelps may be the greatest
• 1:27:40
  Speaker 21: swimmer of the 21st century, but Mark Spitz was the
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 21: baddest man in the pool during the 20th century, and
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 21: he certainly proved it on this day 54 years ago.

  Speaker 5: have an amazing guest coming on. Her name is Jessica.
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 5: She owns Goodness Gracious, and she is a soul coach. Now,
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 5: this is great because it's daisy-chaining off of the conversation
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 5: Rocky and I just had. So this is just a
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 5: different approach, a different thinking, and I want to welcome Jessica. Jessica,
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 5: are you there?
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 38: Hi, how are you?
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 5: Hey, how are you doing?
• 1:29:53
  Speaker 46: I'm well, thanks. Thanks for having me on.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 38: I'm excited.
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 5: Oh, this is amazing. So, you know, everybody's out there asking,
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 5: what is a soul coach? So come on, take us
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 5: through what's going on.
• 1:30:03
  Speaker 46: Yeah, so a soul coach is basically, I don't want
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 46: to take responsibility for anybody's life choices, but what I
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 46: want to do is help people connect to themselves on
• 1:30:11
  Speaker 46: a deeper soul level. Basically, this happened for me back
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 46: in 2021 organically. I had this spiritual awakening and up
• 1:30:21
  Speaker 46: to that point, I was somebody who avoided mirrors. I
• 1:30:25
  Speaker 46: did not like myself on a soul level. You know,
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 46: I did everything for everybody else outside of me. And
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 46: then I had this awakening that kind of put me
• 1:30:34
  Speaker 46: onto this path of spiritual tools, astrology being one of them.
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 46: And astrology was what really helped me come into alignment
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 46: with myself. It became the tool that I used to
• 1:30:48
  Speaker 46: help understand myself on a deeper level and And it
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 46: opened my world in such a profound way. It quite
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 46: literally changed my life. In 2021, I was married in
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 46: New Connecticut. And today I'm divorced living in Florida. And
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 46: while that may sound bad to some people, my life
• 1:31:07
  Speaker 46: has opened up in a crazy amount of ways. And
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 46: astrology really.
• 1:31:10
  Speaker 62: Helped me through.
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 46: Some dark transition areas and get me to where I
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 46: am today.
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 35: Yeah.
• 1:31:17
  Speaker 5: And so with these transitions came the birth, if you will,
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 5: of Goodness Gracious. Tell us a little bit about how
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 5: that works.
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 46: Yeah, what's fascinating is that I actually kind of stumbled
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 46: into this before the massive divorce transition, and I really
• 1:31:33
  Speaker 46: believe that because I knew myself more on a deeper
• 1:31:36
  Speaker 46: level and understood my chart on a deeper level, the
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 46: really chaotic, dark periods of my life weren't nearly as dark,
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 46: if you will, uh, just because I understood it on
• 1:31:48
  Speaker 46: a deeper level. Like, cause you're, so your natal chart
• 1:31:51
  Speaker 46: is your soul's blueprint. It's a great self-awareness tool. It
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 46: shows you your strengths or weaknesses, like what you're here
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 46: to do in this world. Um, and kind of just
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 46: helped me understand because the process is I'm, I'm a
• 1:32:03
  Speaker 46: girl with two, two degrees accounting and business and all that.
• 1:32:07
  Speaker 46: And that never gave me that like fulfilling, like And
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 46: I always wondered, why is it that I'm gravitating more
• 1:32:14
  Speaker 46: towards spirituality and consciousness and energy and manifestation and all that?
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 46: And believe it or not, my chart held all of
• 1:32:21
  Speaker 46: the answers. So, you know, just to touch on it
• 1:32:24
  Speaker 46: a little bit, the North Node is a placement in
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 46: the chart. Everybody has it. And it's the direction that
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 46: your soul wants you to grow in, right? And so
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 46: mine is in Aries, which is energy of independence, courage,
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 46: choosing yourself. And it's also in the ninth house, which
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 46: is of spirituality and belief. So you combine all that together,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 46: and that makes sense. That's why my soul was gravitating
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 46: towards astrology and spirituality and awakening. But the human side
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 46: of me kept fighting that for the longest time. You know, no,
• 1:32:57
  Speaker 46: I need to be successful. I need to have an
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 46: accounting degree. I need to go to school for business
• 1:33:03
  Speaker 46: and stuff. And I always thought that, you know, talk
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 46: about energy, like there was like a battle within myself
• 1:33:08
  Speaker 46: of what's right versus what's wrong. And it helped me
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 46: understand myself so that I could come up with goodness
• 1:33:15
  Speaker 46: gracious and create a community, basically, that will help other
• 1:33:20
  Speaker 46: people understand them. So we stopped resisting because, you know,
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 46: we're kind of programmed to believe this is how you
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 46: become successful. This is the way you're supposed to live
• 1:33:28
  Speaker 46: your life. And that's not necessarily true for everyone.
• 1:33:32
  Speaker 5: So, OK, so what an amazing story to get you
• 1:33:36
  Speaker 5: to where you where you're at. So, you know, if
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 5: I wanted a chart read, how does this actually work?
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 5: What happens? I mean, because I know I know that
• 1:33:44
  Speaker 5: you sell these. You know, these charts for folks who
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 5: then can take them and really learn about themselves or
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 5: for somebody else, you know, a friend, a child. It
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 5: could be for anybody so they can really get to
• 1:33:58
  Speaker 5: learn themselves. How does it work? What information do you
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 5: need to provide so you can generate or create this
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 5: sort of chart?
• 1:34:06
  Speaker 38: That's a great question. Okay, so.
• 1:34:09
  Speaker 46: Most people think that astrology is based off of your
• 1:34:11
  Speaker 46: sun sign. So, for example, I was born in July.
• 1:34:13
  Speaker 46: That means I'm a Cancer. But it's so much more
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 46: than that. It's not your run-of-the-mill People magazine type of horoscope.
• 1:34:20
  Speaker 46: Everybody has a birth certificate. So if you look at
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 46: your birth certificate, it tells you, obviously, the day you
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 46: were born, the location that you were born. But what's
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 46: most important in that piece is the time you were born.
• 1:34:32
  Speaker 46: So what I do is I put all that information
• 1:34:34
  Speaker 46: into this software that I created, and down to the
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 46: minute that you were born, and it shows you where
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 46: the stars and the planets were the day that you
• 1:34:43
  Speaker 46: were born, and that is what creates your natal chart.
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 46: You can run a chart without the birth time, but
• 1:34:51
  Speaker 46: it gets incredibly scary accurate when you have that birth time.
• 1:34:56
  Speaker 5: And you want to know what's funny, my birth time, 94.
• 1:34:59
  Speaker 56: 949.
• 1:35:00
  Speaker 5: 949. Yes. That is absolutely true. Just so you know that.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 59: Yeah, right?
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 38: Yeah.
• 1:35:08
  Speaker 5: So, okay. So, you know, all of that information gets
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 5: plugged in. So, again, we're talking to Jessica, owner of
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 5: Goodness Gracious. And where can they find you? What's your website?
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 5: How do they get in touch with you?
• 1:35:19
  Speaker 46: It's goodnessgracious.shop. And when you get there, you'll see right
• 1:35:25
  Speaker 46: underneath my banner is where my most recent product that
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 46: I just came out with is called the Soul Memoir.
• 1:35:31
  Speaker 46: So if you purchase one of those, what you'll do
• 1:35:33
  Speaker 46: is you purchase one. I'll get your information. I will
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 46: contact you because I'm a big believer in that disinformation
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 46: is perhaps maybe even more important than your social security number.
• 1:35:43
  Speaker 35: Like this gets.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 46: Down on a very deep, full level. It helps you
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 46: understand why patterns keep showing up in your life, how
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 46: you can overcome those, how you can, what I like
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 46: to call, level up in life. And so I'll reach
• 1:35:57
  Speaker 46: out to the person to get their private information. I'll
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 46: run the report. And within 24 to 48 business hours,
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 46: I will email them a PDF. It's basically a book
• 1:36:07
  Speaker 46: about yourself. And, you know, when I created this program,
• 1:36:12
  Speaker 46: I put my information in just to, you know, because
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 46: obviously I know myself better than anything.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 38: Put that in there.
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 46: And I triggered another awakening within myself. I was starting
• 1:36:20
  Speaker 46: to see. the patterns that I was repeating in my
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 46: previous relationships. And I was just starting to see the patterns.
• 1:36:28
  Speaker 46: And that's really what astrology does is it shows you
• 1:36:30
  Speaker 46: patterns of where you may feel stuck and stagnant so
• 1:36:33
  Speaker 46: that you can become self-aware and do the things necessary
• 1:36:37
  Speaker 46: to kind of overcome that. So yeah, goodness gracious.
• 1:36:42
  Speaker 5: I love it.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 10: Say it again.
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 38: Where can they find you?
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 46: Yeah, you just purchase one of those. I'll reach out.
• 1:36:47
  Speaker 46: And then, So it's a soul memoir. So it's basically
• 1:36:50
  Speaker 46: a book about yourself. And then what I did was
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 46: I also created a second product. So those who are
• 1:36:57
  Speaker 46: wanting to work with me on a deeper level, think
• 1:37:00
  Speaker 46: Therapy Meets Stars, if you will. I created an 86-page
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 46: workbook where it will put all of your personal placements
• 1:37:08
  Speaker 46: in there, show you the typical patterns that you may see,
• 1:37:12
  Speaker 46: see how you can overcome things. So, you know, it's
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 46: a multi-step process. But for those who are kind of curious,
• 1:37:18
  Speaker 46: just want to dip their toe. And I have a saying,
• 1:37:21
  Speaker 46: stay curious. But those who are curious, go to my site,
• 1:37:25
  Speaker 46: order their soul memoir, and then work one-on-one with me
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 46: should they want to go deeper.
• 1:37:29
  Speaker 5: It's amazing. So those of you listening out there who
• 1:37:32
  Speaker 5: have any questions, obviously you can call in at 860-464-9490.
• 1:37:34
  Speaker 5: And joining us in the conversation, Lady Mo has come
• 1:37:38
  Speaker 5: in here. a little early, who loves this energy talk.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 5: Lady Mo, welcome.
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 38: Good morning, everybody.
• 1:37:46
  Speaker 63: Hi, good morning. Thanks for being with us, Jessica. I
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 63: have a quick question, actually. I wanted to see if
• 1:37:55
  Speaker 63: you could expound on the awakening portion of this process.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 63: You've mentioned it a couple times now when you deliver
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 63: the book to your client, but also it happened within
• 1:38:10
  Speaker 63: yourself as this sort of spiritual awakening and this clarity
• 1:38:14
  Speaker 63: could you explain a little bit about that I think
• 1:38:17
  Speaker 63: I had something similar happen to me and it's all
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 63: very personal and individual so if you want to share
• 1:38:25
  Speaker 63: that would be great yeah.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 46: Yeah absolutely so um, basically in 2021, I just kind
• 1:38:30
  Speaker 46: of had this, I call it a coming, coming to
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 46: Jesus moment where, um, I had kind of hit my,
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 46: my breaking point and then things, uh, in my life
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 46: were just, they couldn't like nothing changes if nothing changes.
• 1:38:43
  Speaker 35: Right.
• 1:38:44
  Speaker 46: Um, so I just, kind of stumbled into astrology by accident.
• 1:38:48
  Speaker 46: I don't even honestly don't know how I got to it.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 46: I just remember getting to it and writing all these
• 1:38:54
  Speaker 46: notes down and stuff and just like, oh my gosh,
• 1:38:57
  Speaker 46: how does it understand me on.
• 1:38:59
  Speaker 38: Such a deeper level?
• 1:39:00
  Speaker 46: And like I started the conversation was, is that I
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 46: was once upon a time, somebody who I did not
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 46: like myself at all. I avoided mirrors and cameras and
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 46: all that. Like nobody could be worse than me, than me.
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 46: I'm a big believer in your mindset is what creates
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 46: your reality. And quantum science kind of shows that in
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 46: manifestation theory and all that. Uh, so you can't kind
• 1:39:21
  Speaker 46: of turn your life into magic until you come into
• 1:39:24
  Speaker 46: alignment with yourself until you, you are your own best
• 1:39:27
  Speaker 46: friend kind of. And that's what astrology really did for me. Um,
• 1:39:31
  Speaker 46: It helped me kind of become my own best friend,
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 46: understand myself so that I could be okay with being different,
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 46: if that makes any sense. So I could be okay
• 1:39:39
  Speaker 46: with being the weird, quote, unquote, weird girl in the room.
• 1:39:42
  Speaker 46: That talks about energy, excuse me, and manifestation and everything.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 46: Because like I said, you know, I found out through
• 1:39:48
  Speaker 46: my own chart that my North Node, which again is
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 46: the direction your soul is trying to grow in, is
• 1:39:54
  Speaker 46: all about spirituality and belief and higher learning and consciousness.
• 1:39:58
  Speaker 46: So instead of fighting that, I kind of use that
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 46: as a tool for deeper self-awareness that I can foster
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 46: that compassion and empathy for myself. And I kind of
• 1:40:05
  Speaker 46: pull that outward.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 44: Wow.
• 1:40:08
  Speaker 5: That's, that's just, I mean, it's awesome. The whole, your
• 1:40:11
  Speaker 5: story again is amazing. Your awakening process is amazing and
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 5: your ability to take, excuse me, that story, that feeling,
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 5: that passion and, and sort of, take it to a
• 1:40:23
  Speaker 5: business level and want to help people. I mean, that's
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 5: what these charts ultimately do. They help people, correct?
• 1:40:33
  Speaker 27: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:40:34
  Speaker 46: They help people understand their unconscious motivations and why they
• 1:40:37
  Speaker 46: do what they do because it's something that's inherently programmed
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 46: into your soul, which is what these charts show, right? So,
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 46: Real quick, last year, I kind of hit a brick wall.
• 1:40:48
  Speaker 46: I was living in Connecticut.
• 1:40:49
  Speaker 38: Divorce was over.
• 1:40:50
  Speaker 46: I couldn't financially afford to stay in Connecticut anymore, and
• 1:40:52
  Speaker 46: my options were be homeless and live in my car
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 46: or move down to Florida where my grandfather is a
• 1:40:57
  Speaker 46: snowbird and has a place for me. So I basically
• 1:41:00
  Speaker 46: got rid of everything I had. Whatever wouldn't fit in
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 46: my car wasn't coming with me, and it's everybody was
• 1:41:06
  Speaker 46: saying before I left, like, what are you going to
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 46: do when you get down there? You don't know anybody.
• 1:41:10
  Speaker 46: You don't have a job. And my, all I kept
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 46: like feeling in my, deep down in my soul was
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 46: just trust yourself. So I just looked at them and
• 1:41:17
  Speaker 46: I said, I don't know, but God's got me. The
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 46: universe has got me. Fast forward 24 hours after I
• 1:41:23
  Speaker 46: got here, I just trusted in my past because there again,
• 1:41:26
  Speaker 46: my North node shows that if I take You know,
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 46: if I'd be independent and be courageous and I choose
• 1:41:32
  Speaker 46: myself and what ultimately makes me happy, and Florida has
• 1:41:34
  Speaker 46: always just felt like home to my soul. It's always
• 1:41:37
  Speaker 46: made me truly happy on a deeper level. But if
• 1:41:40
  Speaker 46: I just trusted that, that it would all work out
• 1:41:42
  Speaker 46: for me there again with a mindset and just being
• 1:41:45
  Speaker 46: in alignment with myself. So I packed up my car.
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 46: I got down here. And within 24 hours of being here,
• 1:41:50
  Speaker 46: I just had this feeling of go to the pool.
• 1:41:53
  Speaker 46: And I was like, why would I do that? I
• 1:41:55
  Speaker 46: just got here 24 hours ago. Like, I kind of
• 1:41:57
  Speaker 46: energetically fought back a little bit, resisted that thought. And
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 46: then the next thought I had was just go.
• 1:42:02
  Speaker 38: Like, I felt pushed. I felt very called to go.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 38: So I did that.
• 1:42:05
  Speaker 46: I put on my suit, 8 o'clock at night. I
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 46: go down to the pool. And within 10 minutes of
• 1:42:09
  Speaker 46: me being there, this woman shows up. We get to
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 46: talking in the hot tub. She says she needs help
• 1:42:15
  Speaker 46: at her store. I said, what a coincidence. I need jobs.
• 1:42:18
  Speaker 46: Within three days of me being hired, she ended up
• 1:42:20
  Speaker 46: hospitalized for two months. I'm the one that kind of, quote, unquote,
• 1:42:23
  Speaker 46: saved her business, if you will, kept it going, kept
• 1:42:25
  Speaker 46: it running. And I've now become the manager and running it,
• 1:42:31
  Speaker 46: and we've doubled our numbers. Like, everything really does happen
• 1:42:33
  Speaker 46: for a reason. You just have to trust that it's
• 1:42:35
  Speaker 46: happening for you, not to you. I'm a big, big,
• 1:42:38
  Speaker 46: big proponent of that. That one little word changes everything.
• 1:42:42
  Speaker 46: And my chart helps me understand that. That these big changes,
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 46: these drastic changes, like what would be drastic for everybody else,
• 1:42:49
  Speaker 46: that is what I'm here to do. Take those leaps
• 1:42:52
  Speaker 46: on myself. Be independent. Be courageous. Just trust that it's
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 46: all happening for me. And that's exactly what the universe
• 1:42:58
  Speaker 46: has shown me. But I wouldn't be where I am
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 46: today if I didn't understand my chart, if I didn't
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 46: know myself on a deeper level and tell myself this
• 1:43:05
  Speaker 46: is okay. You know what I mean? Like, I don't
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 46: have to live a societal standard of making sure I
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 46: have a job before I move. Like, My chart showed
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 46: me personally that it's okay to take those big leaps
• 1:43:17
  Speaker 46: of faith. And it really helped along the way.
• 1:43:20
  Speaker 63: I find that super fascinating. And I think it's also
• 1:43:25
  Speaker 63: a common theme in a recognized pattern in people that
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 63: I talk to who have had similar experiences where they
• 1:43:35
  Speaker 63: almost have to just let go of And let the
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 63: universe handle it. And it's in that exact moment that
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 63: it's exactly what happens. I mean, if you want to
• 1:43:47
  Speaker 63: call it let go, let God, you know, let spirit,
• 1:43:50
  Speaker 63: let the universe carry you through. But I do feel
• 1:43:55
  Speaker 63: we are a continuation of the stars.
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 11: And so.
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 63: Yeah, you feel all this innately and in your soul,
• 1:44:04
  Speaker 63: deep down in your soul when it makes sense and
• 1:44:07
  Speaker 63: you see that map in front of you. You can
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 63: apply it to so many things, your relationships, your work life,
• 1:44:14
  Speaker 63: your everything, everything.
• 1:44:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely.
• 1:44:18
  Speaker 46: Like one of the recurring themes for me and my charts.
• 1:44:21
  Speaker 46: is being a people pleaser and putting everybody ahead of myself.
• 1:44:25
  Speaker 46: And I, you know, instinctively kind of fall back to that.
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 46: And then I wonder why I feel stuck and stagnant
• 1:44:30
  Speaker 46: and nothing's happening for me. And then when I go
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 46: back and do a refresher on my own chart, I go, oh, okay,
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 46: so these are the patterns that I'm falling back into.
• 1:44:38
  Speaker 46: This is what I need to do. And while growth
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 46: is never comfortable, like it's hard, there's no growth without
• 1:44:43
  Speaker 46: some sort of resistance, right? And so like the chart
• 1:44:46
  Speaker 46: is a tool to kind of help you push through
• 1:44:48
  Speaker 46: those darker, more resistant moments to help you ultimately lead
• 1:44:52
  Speaker 46: a more, you know, happy, prosperous, and more in alignment
• 1:44:56
  Speaker 46: life with yourself. Something that, you know, most, I mean,
• 1:44:59
  Speaker 46: how many people do we know that go to jobs
• 1:45:01

• 1:45:05
  Speaker 35: To do, you know?
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 46: So this kind of helps understand on a deeper level.
• 1:45:10
  Speaker 46: Like if you're feeling called to be an artist, but
• 1:45:13
  Speaker 46: your parents are lawyers and they wanted you to fall
• 1:45:17
  Speaker 46: down this path and now you're struggling with those two
• 1:45:19
  Speaker 46: energies of want versus desire. you know, force, if you will,
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 46: like that, that can put a lot of people in,
• 1:45:25
  Speaker 46: in stagnant energy. Um, and, and could lead ultimately to

  Speaker 46: like depression, anxiety, all of that. And so that's why
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 46: I say, you know, think therapy meets the stars, but
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 46: how to show you patterns that helps you out of
• 1:45:37

• 2:00:50
  Speaker 5: soul coach. And any questions, just email the station here.
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 5: We can give you the details. But, wow, such a
• 2:00:57
  Speaker 5: way to really get to know yourself, somebody else, your child,
• 2:01:00
  Speaker 5: your son, by doing these soul conversations. Soul readings. And
• 2:01:03
  Speaker 5: it's just amazing. It's just amazing how accurate they are, right?
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 63: Hey, so accurate. And thanks for turning me up on
• 2:01:09
  Speaker 63: the board there, engineer. And I love energy. This is
• 2:01:16
  Speaker 63: my thing. It's my jam. I talk about it a lot. Hey,
• 2:01:18
  Speaker 63: have you seen the Pixar movie Soul?
• 2:01:22
  Speaker 5: You know, somebody just told me about that today and
• 2:01:26
  Speaker 5: says that I have to watch it. So I'm going
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 5: to see it.
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 16: Steve.
• 2:01:28
  Speaker 5: I know. This is a disservice.
• 2:01:30
  Speaker 63: To you in life. Oh, my goodness.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 56: Wow.
• 2:01:33
  Speaker 63: So first of all, gentlemen, I love Trent Reznor.
• 2:01:38
  Speaker 5: Trent.
• 2:01:39
  Speaker 63: Is on the composition for the soundtrack. There's just so
• 2:01:45
  Speaker 63: many people, beautiful souls involved in the making of that movie.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 2:01:49
  Speaker 63: And it's very special. And it crosses, I mean, it
• 2:01:52
  Speaker 63: just reaches so many generations.
• 2:01:54
  Speaker 5: I will watch it.
• 2:01:55
  Speaker 63: The music is beautiful. The story is beautiful. Everything about
• 2:01:59
  Speaker 63: it I love.
• 2:02:00
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 63: But energy, I think you and I were supposed to
• 2:02:05
  Speaker 63: do a piece way back when on energy.
• 2:02:08
  Speaker 44: Yep.
• 2:02:10
  Speaker 63: And I was fascinated about this concept of psyops and
• 2:02:14
  Speaker 63: psychological warfare and things happening in present day, how that
• 2:02:19
  Speaker 63: was applicable to just new and improved avenues for warfare.
• 2:02:27
  Speaker 63: But the other thing was I mentioned egregores, which I
• 2:02:32
  Speaker 63: had never heard that word before until just a couple
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 63: years ago.
• 2:02:37
  Speaker 12: And.
• 2:02:40
  Speaker 63: How I learned about it actually was following a sports team,
• 2:02:44
  Speaker 63: you know, the Boston Bruins, Boston Red Sox. And one
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 63: of my girlfriends was saying, oh, my gosh, the energy
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 63: here is so spectacular. You know, the egregore around this
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 63: city must be also just as spectacular.
• 2:03:01
  Speaker 5: Interesting.
• 2:03:02
  Speaker 63: And I said, oh, my God, what's that word?
• 2:03:05
  Speaker 5: Like, are you kidding?
• 2:03:06
  Speaker 23: Right.
• 2:03:07
  Speaker 63: So I looked it up and you can apply it to.
• 2:03:11
  Speaker 23: Everything.
• 2:03:12
  Speaker 63: And which means I feel like energy is going to
• 2:03:15
  Speaker 63: be a commodity if it if it isn't already. You know,
• 2:03:19
  Speaker 63: I there there are.
• 2:03:21
  Speaker 5: People waking up to it.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 9: They are.
• 2:03:22
  Speaker 25: They are.
• 2:03:23
  Speaker 9: They are.
• 2:03:24
  Speaker 63: They're waking up to it. And I think that there
• 2:03:27
  Speaker 63: are real things there. Energy vampires, people siphoning energy from,
• 2:03:33
  Speaker 63: you know, if you have good energy, somebody wants it.
• 2:03:36
  Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely. You walk into a party, you can feel
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 5: opposing energies from folks. And you know who you can
• 2:03:45
  Speaker 5: talk to, who you feel comfortable with and who not.
• 2:03:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, our body is, for me, continuously like a
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 5: water droplet that hits water and sort of waves out.
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 5: It's like our bodies have these energy fields that keep
• 2:03:55
  Speaker 5: going out. And they cross people as they walk by.
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 5: And some happen to get along and some not so much.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 63: Like oil and water.
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 2:04:02
  Speaker 5: And some not so much, right?
• 2:04:03
  Speaker 63: And some not so much.
• 2:04:04
  Speaker 5: And you can feel it. It's actually something you can
• 2:04:06
  Speaker 5: tangibly feel.
• 2:04:07
  Speaker 36: I know.
• 2:04:08
  Speaker 63: It happens.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 36: It happens.
• 2:04:09
  Speaker 63: And that's why, actually, you need to truly listen to
• 2:04:14
  Speaker 63: your intuition. I think that Rocky mentioned earlier one of
• 2:04:18
  Speaker 63: the life experiences or human experiences he's had that has
• 2:04:23
  Speaker 63: brought him closest to God. And that faith or the
• 2:04:30
  Speaker 63: clarity in that faith really was having a child. And
• 2:04:34
  Speaker 63: the same happened for me. When I became a mother,
• 2:04:36
  Speaker 63: I saw the world in a whole new way through
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 63: my son's eyes. And you've never been more vulnerable, but
• 2:04:45
  Speaker 63: more full of love. And you realize, okay, so I
• 2:04:49
  Speaker 63: have to carry the energy of myself, my child, the
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 63: world around me. And I mean, it's just absolutely fascinating.
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 63: And when you think about it, You can even draw
• 2:05:03
  Speaker 63: in what Jessica said this morning with astrology. And, you know,
• 2:05:09
  Speaker 63: as above, so below. If we are here on Earth,
• 2:05:13
  Speaker 63: we are, just like you said, like almost an electric
• 2:05:16
  Speaker 63: rod or an avenue in which things from above can
• 2:05:22
  Speaker 63: travel down here to Earth.
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 21: And even.
• 2:05:28
  Speaker 63: We can even bring within us the Schumann resonance, like
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 63: the Earth's heartbeat through our feet and up above us.
• 2:05:37
  Speaker 63: So I just, I love all of this.
• 2:05:41
  Speaker 5: I love it all, too.
• 2:05:43
  Speaker 63: Is it making sense, what I'm saying?
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 5: No, totally making sense.
• 2:05:46
  Speaker 63: And if anybody wants to call in.
• 2:05:47
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the number, of course, 860-464-9490. And we're continuing on
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 5: the conversation of energy and space. And and how it
• 2:05:57
  Speaker 5: relates manifestation.
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 2:06:00
  Speaker 63: Well, it's important how we proceed with caution with humanity.
• 2:06:07
  Speaker 63: I mention it every time I'm on. So it's it's
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 63: really front and center right now.
• 2:06:13
  Speaker 36: Energy.
• 2:06:14
  Speaker 5: Yes. I think people are waking up to it.
• 2:06:17
  Speaker 63: And you really know when someone has some bad energy.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 9: Bad energy.
• 2:06:21
  Speaker 5: Isn't it obvious though? Like, like, like, you know, like
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 5: immediately in your gut, you're like, Whoa, that guy's just
• 2:06:28
  Speaker 5: got something going on. Like you just, you just know, right?
• 2:06:30
  Speaker 9: I know.
• 2:06:31
  Speaker 63: I'm trying to teach my son that, that, that you
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 63: have to really keep that. Don't, you know, we've groomed
• 2:06:37
  Speaker 63: everybody to forget about our intuition and fall out of
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 63: sync with it so that we're so disconnected with it
• 2:06:44
  Speaker 63: for the rest of our lives that we have to
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 63: actually remember that. what it's like to get back in
• 2:06:51
  Speaker 63: touch with our intuition. If something doesn't feel right, something
• 2:06:54
  Speaker 63: doesn't look right, someone is not acting right, it's probably
• 2:06:58
  Speaker 63: not right.
• 2:06:59
  Speaker 5: Right, no, exactly. And as last segment, Jessica was talking,
• 2:07:02
  Speaker 5: those soul readings, it tells you It actually gives you
• 2:07:06
  Speaker 5: an outline, a blueprint of people or things that connect
• 2:07:12
  Speaker 5: with you and don't connect with you.
• 2:07:13
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 5: Not to say that you don't have the choice to
• 2:07:16
  Speaker 5: make a difference and try to work with things, but
• 2:07:18
  Speaker 5: it's just a blueprint, right?
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 42: Sure.
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 5: And, you know.
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 63: But don't you think that, I mean, if more people
• 2:07:26
  Speaker 63: would apply that type of knowledge, the world would be
• 2:07:31
  Speaker 63: a better place?
• 2:07:32
  Speaker 5: Totally. You know, I... I often say, and I've said
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 5: it in the beginning of this whole show today, it's
• 2:07:38
  Speaker 5: like these are opinions. We're not fighting. We're just talking.
• 2:07:43
  Speaker 5: We're really just trying to be better people, you know.
• 2:07:46
  Speaker 5: And if you have an opinion, call in. Let's talk
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 5: about it. You know, this isn't a one-sided road at all.
• 2:07:52
  Speaker 5: I mean, energy or or feelings or opinions are two sided.
• 2:07:57
  Speaker 5: And when Rocky was here, you know, I specifically said
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 5: to him, even before he came on, it's, this isn't a,
• 2:08:04
  Speaker 5: I'm not debating you. Like we're having a conversation. I
• 2:08:07
  Speaker 5: truly want to know why you feel the way you do.
• 2:08:10
  Speaker 5: And so, cause, and that'll help me understand you.
• 2:08:13
  Speaker 40: Yeah.
• 2:08:14
  Speaker 63: It's superb trying to understand one another and, is also
• 2:08:19
  Speaker 63: something that is a wonderful way that we can get
• 2:08:24
  Speaker 63: through these tough times, falling back on one another and, uh,
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 63: allowing us to take care of each other. And that is, that,
• 2:08:38
  Speaker 63: that creates excellent energy, excellent energy. So, um, If we
• 2:08:44
  Speaker 63: can do that, you know, we can all make a difference.
• 2:08:48
  Speaker 63: We can truly stimulate change.
• 2:08:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's the thing is when we all go to
• 2:08:53
  Speaker 5: our corners and don't talk and don't kind of bring
• 2:08:56
  Speaker 5: these issues, these thoughts, you know, to the forefront for conversation,
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 5: I can't understand how this would happen because this is
• 2:09:06
  Speaker 5: how we get– this is how we move forward with anything, right?
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 5: We learn to understand each other. We learn why people
• 2:09:12
  Speaker 5: think the way they do.
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 40: Right.
• 2:09:14
  Speaker 5: And we then our actions can be guided by that learning.
• 2:09:20
  Speaker 63: Well, what's funny is it actually draws me to last night.
• 2:09:23
  Speaker 63: I was sitting at Bill's Seafood with my family and
• 2:09:26
  Speaker 63: the cousins, the children were chatting. And I heard my
• 2:09:31
  Speaker 63: son ask his cousin, hey, Laura, what is your least
• 2:09:37
  Speaker 63: favorite movie? Not your most favorite movie.
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 5: The least favorite.
• 2:09:40
  Speaker 63: I said, wow, that's a good question. And he said, well,
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 63: I want to know. I want to know her favorite
• 2:09:48
  Speaker 63: things and her least favorite things. And that's good because
• 2:09:52
  Speaker 63: it's a great thing because then, you know, then he said, OK,
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 63: we won't watch that movie. So, you know, you know.
• 2:10:00
  Speaker 5: Continuing on this so so so you believe in psychics
• 2:10:03
  Speaker 5: yes or no yes okay do you believe in the
• 2:10:05
  Speaker 5: tarot cards yes okay me too i'm one of those.
• 2:10:08
  Speaker 63: I have several i.
• 2:10:10
  Speaker 5: Have several decks we gotta we gotta do it here
• 2:10:12
  Speaker 5: more on the show maybe next time i'll bring some.
• 2:10:14
  Speaker 63: In and we can actually speaking of energy yeah it's
• 2:10:17
  Speaker 63: it's incredible yeah it is incredible last night's full moon
• 2:10:20
  Speaker 63: i want to you know i i think i think
• 2:10:24
  Speaker 63: first of all being a woman you know you were
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 63: so in touch with the moon um but I felt
• 2:10:34
  Speaker 63: last night's full moon was spectacular. I wish we could
• 2:10:37
  Speaker 63: have seen it more. I'm looking forward to, to looking
• 2:10:40
  Speaker 63: at pictures online, but it was a blood Sturgeon moon
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 63: and a partial lunar eclipse, actually partial. It was almost total. I,
• 2:10:50
  Speaker 63: it was almost like 98% or something like that. And, um,
• 2:10:55
  Speaker 63: you know, for the first time in this morning's early
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 63: sky was Orion's, constellation, there's also fascinating things happening in
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 63: the sky. I guess Andromeda, which is like 2.5 million
• 2:11:14
  Speaker 63: light years away, was also seen, which is fascinating. And
• 2:11:19
  Speaker 63: I think we have a caller.
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 5: We do. We do have a caller. And let's see
• 2:11:24
  Speaker 5: who it is here. Mike, I believe, is on the line.
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 7: Mike, are you there?
• 2:11:28
  Speaker 57: Hey, yeah.
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 2: How you doing?
• 2:11:29
  Speaker 23: Hey, good.
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 63: How are you?
• 2:11:31
  Speaker 58: So you guys are talking about energy and how our
• 2:11:35
  Speaker 58: bodies are like radios for emotions and stuff.
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:11:39
  Speaker 58: Have you guys looked into anything about– there's some new
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 58: science out there about how our bodies are actually organic
• 2:11:45
  Speaker 58: electrochemical transceivers.
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 34: Yeah.
• 2:11:48
  Speaker 5: Yep, yep.
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 57: Yeah, if you look into that, it's really crazy. But yeah,
• 2:11:52
  Speaker 57: like every person pretty much like puts off their own
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 57: radio stations. And we can tune into other people's emotions
• 2:11:58
  Speaker 57: and feelings. And some people got it stronger than others.
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 2:12:01
  Speaker 57: And my whole life, like, I've been able to feel
• 2:12:03
  Speaker 57: people's emotions, like, from far away.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 5: Total empath.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 14: I can just tell.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 36: Yeah.
• 2:12:07
  Speaker 5: That is a great way to describe it as we
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 5: are all our individual radio stations. That is a perfect
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 5: way to describe it. And we are sending signals and
• 2:12:16
  Speaker 5: we are also receiving them. Well done.
• 2:12:18
  Speaker 63: I'm going to say something also that I just read
• 2:12:22
  Speaker 63: and I– I couldn't find too much about it yesterday.
• 2:12:26
  Speaker 63: But on that very note, Mike, there are chambers being
• 2:12:31
  Speaker 63: released right now in Japan, healing chambers in hospitals that
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 63: match our electronic frequency with Earth's for healing.
• 2:12:44
  Speaker 44: Yes.
• 2:12:45
  Speaker 63: And they're using it as treatment for... everything i mean.
• 2:12:50
  Speaker 43: That seems so smart you know there's caves around the
• 2:12:53
  Speaker 43: world that were they're like perfectly um carved stone caves
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 43: that are built before like we even you know before
• 2:12:59
  Speaker 43: civilization was made and scientists.
• 2:13:01
  Speaker 57: Are going in there and they're finding that they um
• 2:13:03
  Speaker 57: the sound frequencies on the walls well they they have
• 2:13:06
  Speaker 57: healing properties and they get the like the native american
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 57: stuff they would go in there and this is like
• 2:13:11
  Speaker 57: in india and everything too is all caustic the the
• 2:13:13
  Speaker 57: world they go into these chambers and they would play
• 2:13:17
  Speaker 57: sounds and music and they believed it healed them.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 2:13:20
  Speaker 57: Because of the shapes of the walls of the caves.
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:13:24
  Speaker 63: It's music therapy is a thing. Art therapy is a
• 2:13:29
  Speaker 63: thing for a reason.
• 2:13:31
  Speaker 5: Tones are a thing.
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 63: Tones are a thing.
• 2:13:33
  Speaker 5: Like 440 hertz, you know, you play that and I
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 5: believe it kind of lowers your, lowers your cortisol.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:13:42
  Speaker 5: It brings things down. So, so there are different tones that,
• 2:13:46
  Speaker 5: that even businesses or corporations use to kind of stimulate
• 2:13:49
  Speaker 5: different reactions from you.
• 2:13:50
  Speaker 16: Yeah.
• 2:13:51
  Speaker 63: Oftentimes, if I am stuck in fight or flight, I
• 2:13:56
  Speaker 63: can actually turn on, you know, something online that will,
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 63: you know, like a sound bowl, something like that.
• 2:14:03
  Speaker 5: There's a reason why, Mike, there's a reason why something
• 2:14:06
  Speaker 5: like Dunkin' Donuts has an orange peel because orange makes
• 2:14:09
  Speaker 5: us hungry. Right. The actual the actual color of it
• 2:14:14
  Speaker 5: gets into our senses. And for some reason, that color
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 5: makes you want to eat. You know, so frequency adjusts
• 2:14:21
  Speaker 5: your way your body is vibing at the moment. So
• 2:14:25
  Speaker 5: to keep people calm, they use a certain frequency on
• 2:14:29
  Speaker 5: a lot of things that helps keep you calm. I mean,
• 2:14:31
  Speaker 5: these are real things.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 23: They are.
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 63: And I think it's, yeah, a lot of people are
• 2:14:34
  Speaker 63: remembering these ancient wisdoms that have been around for, you know,
• 2:14:39
  Speaker 63: since mankind has been here. So awesome call.
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 9: Awesome call.
• 2:14:42
  Speaker 57: People still do it today and they don't even realize
• 2:14:44
  Speaker 57: they're doing it because People listen to music, and when
• 2:14:46
  Speaker 57: they're sad, they put on a sad song, or they're happy,
• 2:14:49
  Speaker 57: they put on a happy song, or maybe vice versa.
• 2:14:51
  Speaker 57: They're sad and they put on a happy song because
• 2:14:52
  Speaker 57: they want to lift their mood up.
• 2:14:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you got it.
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 57: They just think they're listening to music, but it's kind
• 2:14:57
  Speaker 57: of the same concept.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 63: When I was in college, I did my thesis on...
• 2:15:04
  Speaker 63: digital pharmacies and music therapy. And, you know, in Europe
• 2:15:07
  Speaker 63: for the longest time, music was prescribed, like albums were
• 2:15:11
  Speaker 63: made for people dependent on ailments and all sorts of things.
• 2:15:15
  Speaker 5: I often say, you know, I would love for, you know,
• 2:15:20
  Speaker 5: a doctor to prescribe, you know, if you're not feeling
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 5: well or whatever, to prescribe climbing a mountain or going
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 5: on a hike.
• 2:15:28
  Speaker 63: Going outside.
• 2:15:29
  Speaker 5: Go outside instead of just pills all the time.
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 47: Yeah.
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 33: Yeah.
• 2:15:32
  Speaker 31: Amen.
• 2:15:33
  Speaker 39: Amen.
• 2:15:34
  Speaker 57: Have you guys seen the experiments where they place sounds
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 57: through water and it changes the shapes of the molecules?
• 2:15:40
  Speaker 10: Oh, yeah. Yeah, absolutely.
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 63: Fascinating.
• 2:15:43
  Speaker 7: They play like angry rock.
• 2:15:44
  Speaker 57: Music and they put it through the water and the
• 2:15:45
  Speaker 57: water molecules look all messed up. But they play like
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 57: Mozart or whatever. They'll make like cool geometric shapes and,
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 57: you know, nice looking shapes.
• 2:15:52
  Speaker 63: There was a gentleman who just did an active live
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 63: art installation and And I don't gosh, I'm blanking on
• 2:16:00
  Speaker 63: the museum it was at. It might have been in
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 63: New York, but it was water and singing bowls at
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 63: the same time. But then they projected what the water
• 2:16:10
  Speaker 63: did on big screens on the walls around you. But
• 2:16:15
  Speaker 63: people could sit in the room, not only see what
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 63: was happening. in real time how the water changed with
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 63: the bowls and with the music playing as well yeah.
• 2:16:27
  Speaker 57: Yeah that sounds really cool yeah really cool it's.
• 2:16:29
  Speaker 5: Amazing mike great call and listen stay curious and you

  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 2:16:50
  Speaker 63: Positivity is a thing. You know, I think there's a
• 2:16:55
  Speaker 63: little bit of a happy medium. You know, every day
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 63: isn't always rainbows and sunshine. We say that in our house. Like, okay,
• 2:17:01
  Speaker 63: you got to feel some emotion sometimes and just like.
• 2:17:05
  Speaker 63: Emotions are energy in motion. We have to have them
• 2:17:08
  Speaker 63: go through us in order to get out on the
• 2:17:10
  Speaker 63: other side.
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 23: Okay.
• 2:17:12
  Speaker 63: Um, and it's, it's really important to not ignore that
• 2:17:16
  Speaker 63: and stifle energy.
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 5: So no, again, great call. And again, we have time
• 2:17:22

  Speaker 63: really good place. School just started, uh, back to school.

  Speaker 63: So we did all of that. We did the ice
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 63: cream social and the fun.

  Speaker 5: Back i remember that it's fantastic yeah.
• 2:17:50
  Speaker 1: The fire the fire.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 63: Truck rides and everything and the you know that's all
• 2:17:54
  Speaker 63: over with it's that we were we're still in summer
• 2:17:56
  Speaker 63: mode though we've had a couple late nights we were
• 2:17:58
  Speaker 63: at water's edge visiting with cousins uh last night and
• 2:18:02
  Speaker 63: the night before and having fun, living our best lives
• 2:18:05
  Speaker 63: and family time is the best time. I'm also part of, uh,
• 2:18:12
  Speaker 63: an initiative in Waterford. Shout out to my friend, Kate
• 2:18:15
  Speaker 63: Livingston and Rob rule. We're doing, uh, wait until eighth, uh,
• 2:18:22
  Speaker 63: delay the smartphone. Uh, we, it is super important. We, um,
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 63: You know, Kate teaches health and phys ed at Clark Lane,
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 63: and so she sees it firsthand. She's a teacher, and
• 2:18:38
  Speaker 63: I'm sure if you have any teachers in your life
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 63: or teenagers or you talk to parents, I mean, listen,
• 2:18:44
  Speaker 63: you have to live under a rock if you don't
• 2:18:45
  Speaker 63: know it. Cell phones... Smartphones in particular with social media,
• 2:18:50
  Speaker 63: not good for kids, not good for your developing brain.
• 2:18:53
  Speaker 63: It's a toilet bowl. It's another word. And the suicide
• 2:19:02
  Speaker 63: rates have gone up, all of it. So we're trying
• 2:19:07
  Speaker 63: to educate the community on that.
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 10: So what are you trying to do?
• 2:19:10
  Speaker 5: Stop people from giving phones up until 8 p.m.? What's
• 2:19:12
  Speaker 5: the purpose?
• 2:19:13
  Speaker 63: So it takes a village. We're trying to create cohorts
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 63: of families. that are like-minded, that want to delay the
• 2:19:23
  Speaker 63: smartphones for as long as possible. And I think we
• 2:19:26
  Speaker 63: have a phone call, maybe on energy or smartphones.
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm not sure.
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 5: Let's take it. Who is calling?
• 2:19:30
  Speaker 31: Who is this?
• 2:19:32
  Speaker 5: Hello?
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 57: Hi. Hey.
• 2:19:33
  Speaker 36: Steve, I was.
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 62: Calling about, I went over to McCook the day of
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 62: Earth Day.
• 2:19:38
  Speaker 5: Okay, yeah.
• 2:19:39
  Speaker 62: And my four-year-old, I mean, the fourth grader, Samasabachi, was singing.
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 62: And they did a great job.
• 2:19:45
  Speaker 38: They were amazing.
• 2:19:46
  Speaker 62: But my question to you is, after the event, my
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 62: granddaughter asked me what your shirt meant that you wore
• 2:19:52
  Speaker 62: that day.
• 2:19:53
  Speaker 57: And it had resist on it. Oh, yeah.
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 5: So it was, so it had, if I remember, I
• 2:19:58
  Speaker 5: have a shirt that I wear. It has all the
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 5: Muppet characters. Yep. And it says resist. And that's because
• 2:20:05
  Speaker 5: they tried to shut down PBS and PBS funding and
• 2:20:12
  Speaker 5: funding for kids. So that shirt is essentially the Muppets, kids,
• 2:20:20
  Speaker 5: and everything for children's programming to maintain and to be
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 5: on the air because it's very important. So that's what
• 2:20:29
  Speaker 5: that shirt is.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 44: I agree.
• 2:20:30
  Speaker 62: It is important, but you didn't explain that to the
• 2:20:33
  Speaker 62: fourth graders. So when we left that day, I had
• 2:20:37
  Speaker 62: to explain what resist meant.
• 2:20:39
  Speaker 5: Well, that's a great point, and I appreciate it. And
• 2:20:42
  Speaker 5: next time I wear the shirt, I can definitely say
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 5: to folks, we want children's programming, and this is to
• 2:20:48
  Speaker 5: make sure that children's programming continues at the highest level.
• 2:20:54
  Speaker 5: And there's nothing better, and it's great that it has
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 5: Muppets on it. because, you know, one of the shows
• 2:20:59
  Speaker 5: they wanted to get rid of was Sesame Street, right?
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 5: And so... Oh, my gosh, my son grew up on
• 2:21:05
  Speaker 5: Sesame Street. I know, I grew up on it, right?
• 2:21:06
  Speaker 5: It's like, it's amazing. So it's just symbolic. So absolutely
• 2:21:11
  Speaker 5: I could, you know, make that statement next time, and
• 2:21:14
  Speaker 5: I appreciate your call for sure.
• 2:21:16
  Speaker 62: Really, because, I mean, to me it was a political
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 62: statement because we didn't know any other reason for wearing it.
• 2:21:22
  Speaker 62: So I don't think fourth graders should be exposed to that,
• 2:21:25
  Speaker 62: to be honest.
• 2:21:26
  Speaker 5: Well, I just want programming for kids. That's what I want.
• 2:21:31
  Speaker 5: And that's all it was. But I appreciate the call.
• 2:21:35
  Speaker 5: We have one more calling, another call coming in from,
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 5: I think, Tim from Lisbon.
• 2:21:42
  Speaker 35: Yeah.
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 59: Hello.
• 2:21:43
  Speaker 23: Hello, Tim.
• 2:21:44
  Speaker 5: You are on the air. How are you?
• 2:21:45
  Speaker 38: Jim?
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 7: I'm good.
• 2:21:48
  Speaker 60: Listen, I'll make it real quick because I know you're
• 2:21:49
  Speaker 60: running out of time.
• 2:21:50
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 60: All the things that you've been talking about, the powers,
• 2:21:53
  Speaker 60: the energies and all that.
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 40: Yeah.
• 2:21:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 60: Why is the first thing, as humans, because I notice
• 2:21:58
  Speaker 60: this a lot, the first thing we eliminate is God.
• 2:22:01
  Speaker 60: It's not from God. Where's it from? It's from this.
• 2:22:04
  Speaker 60: It's from the stars.
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 35: It's from da-da-da-da-da-da.
• 2:22:07
  Speaker 60: Why can't it be God? That energy that you're talking about,
• 2:22:11
  Speaker 60: Lady Mo, from the universe or whatever, why can't that
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 60: be God?
• 2:22:14
  Speaker 63: Well, it is for a lot of people. It is
• 2:22:17
  Speaker 63: for a lot of people. And so I don't discredit
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 63: that at all. I actually think God is within us all.
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 2:22:26
  Speaker 33: Amen.
• 2:22:27
  Speaker 5: And I would say, you know, if you believe it's
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 5: from God, then fabulous. And that is your belief, and
• 2:22:33
  Speaker 5: we all respect that. Rocky and I respect that. We
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 5: had the conversation earlier. You know, it can be whatever
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 5: place that you want to put it in. Yeah. And
• 2:22:42
  Speaker 5: so for me, it might not be that, but that's okay.
• 2:22:46
  Speaker 5: And for you, it might be that, and that's also okay.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 21: Okay.
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 60: I'd just like to encourage people, don't eliminate that first
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 60: of all.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 16: Sure.
• 2:22:54
  Speaker 60: Keep that as a possibility.
• 2:22:56
  Speaker 5: All possibilities, all opinions are welcome here. And I think
• 2:22:59
  Speaker 5: we're off. We're going to be back on our next segment.
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 5: Thank you so much.

• 2:24:25
  Speaker 9: No, I'm seeing this line.
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 18: Okay, you say that one.
• 2:24:27
  Speaker 5: Go ahead and say it.
• 2:24:29
  Speaker 18: Preston Trading Post, hard to find, impossible to forget.
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 5: What's my line?

  Speaker 5: We should just do this.
• 2:24:37
  Speaker 18: No, you do this. You do this line.
• 2:24:39
  Speaker 5: So, yes, we may be a little off the beaten path,
• 2:24:42
  Speaker 5: but that's only because the beaten path doesn't have this
• 2:24:46
  Speaker 5: much good stuff in it.

  Speaker 21: back in 1972 something happened at the summer olympics in
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 21: munich west germany that had never happened before Mark Spitz
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 21: of Team USA put on a clinic. He won the
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 21: 200-meter butterfly, and he kept winning. He'd go on to
• 2:28:43
  Speaker 21: win seven gold medals in total at those Olympic Games,
• 2:28:46
  Speaker 21: and in the process, set seven new world records, too.
• 2:28:50
  Speaker 21: It was an Olympic feat that nobody thought would ever
• 2:28:52
  Speaker 21: be duplicated.
• 2:28:54
  Speaker 10: But you know how sports goes. Records are made to
• 2:28:56
  Speaker 10: be broken.
• 2:28:57
  Speaker 21: And Michael Phelps came along at the Beijing Olympics and
• 2:28:59
  Speaker 21: won eight gold medals.
• 2:29:01
  Speaker 10: Then four more in London, and then five more in Rio.
• 2:29:04
  Speaker 21: Phelps may be the greatest swimmer of the 21st century,
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 21: but Mark Spitz was the baddest man in the pool
• 2:29:10
  Speaker 21: during the 20th century, and he certainly proved it on
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 21: this day 54 years ago.
• 2:29:15
  Speaker 10: With more than just a score, I'm Fish on Sports.

  Speaker 37: Connecticut correction officials are investigating the death of a woman
• 2:29:31
  Speaker 37: found unresponsive Wednesday morning in her cell at York Correctional Institution.
• 2:29:36
  Speaker 23: She was pronounced dead, and the.
• 2:29:38
  Speaker 37: State medical examiner will determine the cause of death while
• 2:29:41
  Speaker 37: the inspector general investigates. Two people were seriously injured yesterday
• 2:29:46
  Speaker 37: afternoon when a motorcycle and a dump truck collided at
• 2:29:50
  Speaker 37: Gulf Road and Route 16 in East Hampton. Both motorcycle
• 2:29:54
  Speaker 37: riders were flown by Lifestar to Hartford Hospital. and the
• 2:29:57
  Speaker 37: crash remains under investigation. A 54-year-old Waterford man has died
• 2:30:02
  Speaker 37: from injuries suffered in an August 20th construction accident on I-95.
• 2:30:07
  Speaker 37: Darnell Parker was trapped between concrete barriers near Exit 74,
• 2:30:12
  Speaker 37: and OSHA is investigating. Connecticut has confirmed its first human
• 2:30:17
  Speaker 37: case of West Nile virus this year in a Middlesex
• 2:30:20
  Speaker 37: County man. He was hospitalized after becoming sick in early
• 2:30:24
  Speaker 37: August and has since recovered. I-95 North in New London
• 2:30:28
  Speaker 37: was closed for nearly two hours early yesterday because of
• 2:30:32
  Speaker 37: a vehicle fire between exits 83 and 85.

• 2:31:03
  Speaker 23: I'm Rob Ray. When news breaks, we break in.
• 2:31:09
  Speaker 5: Hey, welcome back, everyone. Welcome back. This has been a
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 5: fantastic show. I want to thank 94.9, but we have
• 2:31:17
  Speaker 5: a very special guest here. Hayward Gatch is someone who
• 2:31:22
  Speaker 5: writes in, calls in, and always delivers some meaningful conversation
• 2:31:27
  Speaker 5: with a deep skill set of knowledge behind every conversation.
• 2:31:32
  Speaker 5: I really appreciate it, and I'm happy you're here today.
• 2:31:34
  Speaker 5: Thanks for being with us.
• 2:31:35
  Speaker 41: Hey, thank you so much for the invite. I'm always
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 41: happy to be here. It's a delight to be on 94.9,
• 2:31:41
  Speaker 41: especially on The Voice of Freedom.
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 39: Yes.
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 44: Yeah.
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 41: So, you know, one thing that I really think is
• 2:31:46
  Speaker 41: important to talk about, and this is something that anyone
• 2:31:50
  Speaker 41: who's truly honest, in my opinion, could notice as a
• 2:31:54
  Speaker 41: trajectory within our society. Folks on Rumble might notice that
• 2:31:57
  Speaker 41: I'm wearing a tan suit, and that's a little reminder
• 2:32:00
  Speaker 41: for A certain time a few years ago when a
• 2:32:04
  Speaker 41: president happened to wear a tan suit and the country
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 41: fell into a state of deep turmoil, people were very
• 2:32:10
  Speaker 41: upset over it.
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 23: What have we done?
• 2:32:12
  Speaker 31: He's wearing a tan suit.
• 2:32:14
  Speaker 7: Good Lord.
• 2:32:16
  Speaker 41: And now we fast forward a few years and see
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 41: the shifting baselines in terms of what is and isn't acceptable.
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 41: And I find that utterly fascinating. You know, some people
• 2:32:27
  Speaker 41: believe in this concept of entropy where things trend toward
• 2:32:30
  Speaker 41: disorder and decay over time. It's one of the principles
• 2:32:34
  Speaker 41: of thermodynamics. And maybe that's playing out here, because it
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 41: really seems that the types of things that are acceptable
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 41: amongst the people that are at least allegedly meant to
• 2:32:46
  Speaker 41: be representatives of the American people are shifting probably not
• 2:32:50
  Speaker 41: so much in a good direction. The types of things that,
• 2:32:54
  Speaker 41: you know, Obama did policy-wise, I may have had my
• 2:32:57
  Speaker 41: issues with. I was, you know, I'm on this liberal
• 2:33:01
  Speaker 41: invasion thing. I'm not a liberal. I'm of an entirely
• 2:33:04
  Speaker 41: weirder political tendency that doesn't really fit neatly in either direction. However,
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 41: that meant that when people on the right critiqued Obama
• 2:33:13
  Speaker 41: on certain things, I tended to agree. And also when
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 41: people on the further side of the left critiqued Obama,
• 2:33:20
  Speaker 41: I tend to find myself agreeing as well. Like, for example,
• 2:33:23
  Speaker 41: the expansion of mass surveillance under Obama or the the
• 2:33:27
  Speaker 41: normalization of the use of drone bombing, including an American
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 41: citizen overseas. That was something that folks on the left
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 41: were critiquing. Folks in the middle were more so just saying, oh, well,
• 2:33:37
  Speaker 41: it was a terrorist, whatever. But folks in my political
• 2:33:41
  Speaker 41: tendency wonder, what is this laying the groundwork for? Just
• 2:33:45
  Speaker 41: about everything that happens within statecraft tends to have its
• 2:33:49
  Speaker 41: upfront basis and its long-term intention, or maybe not intentionally,
• 2:33:55
  Speaker 41: but what it's laying the groundwork for in the future.
• 2:33:59
  Speaker 41: There's this concept called the imperial boomerang, also known as
• 2:34:02
  Speaker 41: Foucault's boomerang. We talked about it, I think, a few
• 2:34:04
  Speaker 41: weeks back. The idea being that the things that are
• 2:34:07
  Speaker 41: used to maintain order in the colonies or war zones
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 41: will eventually be turned on the people themselves. Now, this
• 2:34:14
  Speaker 41: is a concept people used to understand all over the place.
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 41: It was a fairly common thing. Whenever there was an
• 2:34:20
  Speaker 41: infringement upon our liberties that our founders gave us, People
• 2:34:24
  Speaker 41: would say, oh, well, what is this laying the groundwork for?
• 2:34:27
  Speaker 41: A little guy named George Orwell had some ideas as well,
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 41: trying to have these cautionary tales. Anytime you will have
• 2:34:36
  Speaker 41: something happening in the government, you have to ask yourself,
• 2:34:40
  Speaker 41: what are the next steps? Because almost always, tyranny will
• 2:34:44
  Speaker 41: try to seduce you with its rational best interest. It's, oh,
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 41: these flock cameras will allow you to It will allow
• 2:34:53
  Speaker 41: you to catch criminals.
• 2:34:54
  Speaker 31: That's great.
• 2:34:55
  Speaker 41: Fantastic. However, what else is it doing? Do we trust
• 2:34:59
  Speaker 41: the American government to have yet another layer upon dozens
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 41: of layers of ways of surveilling us? Is it for
• 2:35:06
  Speaker 41: our best interest? And, you know, ask an indigenous person
• 2:35:11
  Speaker 41: of America if they trust our government to be benevolent.
• 2:35:14
  Speaker 41: Ask any minority in this country if they trust our
• 2:35:16
  Speaker 41: government to be benevolent. It's simply ahistorical. And you can
• 2:35:20
  Speaker 41: go through just about any issue of what our government
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 41: is doing and find that skepticism.
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 36: Agreed.
• 2:35:26
  Speaker 41: And that skepticism comes from our founders. It's literally in
• 2:35:29
  Speaker 41: the Declaration of Independence where it says if the government
• 2:35:32
  Speaker 41: becomes destructive to these principles, we have the right and
• 2:35:36
  Speaker 41: responsibility to alter or abolish it and institute something new.
• 2:35:40
  Speaker 41: That was in our founding documents.
• 2:35:42
  Speaker 61: Mm-hmm.
• 2:35:43
  Speaker 41: And now we have a situation where we have this
• 2:35:45
  Speaker 41: cultic dynamic around what seems to be the worship of
• 2:35:49
  Speaker 41: power itself. And people now, of course in both parties,
• 2:35:54
  Speaker 41: but people now are taking advantage of this consistent erosion
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 41: of social norms based in liberty, based in common decency.
• 2:36:02
  Speaker 41: As a Christian, I'll argue Christian values, but you can
• 2:36:04
  Speaker 41: have your own opinion on that. This stuff is eroding,
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 41: and more and more things are becoming allowed to And
• 2:36:12
  Speaker 41: not even so much allowed, but not even remarkable anymore. Think,
• 2:36:16
  Speaker 41: for example, about the corruption allegations around Hunter Biden, right?
• 2:36:22
  Speaker 41: Burisma Holdings, all that kind of stuff. And I was thinking, well, sure,
• 2:36:26
  Speaker 41: I don't like nepotism. That's not all that great. Now,
• 2:36:29
  Speaker 41: we fast forward a few years and you see the
• 2:36:31
  Speaker 41: types of nepotism that we're having now in this administration.
• 2:36:35
  Speaker 41: And if you look at the amount of money in
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 41: question with the whole Hunter Biden thing versus the amount
• 2:36:40
  Speaker 41: of money he's enriched his own family. The charts side
• 2:36:43
  Speaker 41: by side are functionally impossible to see the Hunter Biden corruption.
• 2:36:47
  Speaker 41: And I'm against corruption across the board. It's a matter
• 2:36:50
  Speaker 41: of principle. So we see this stuff happening now.
• 2:36:54
  Speaker 5: And you're talking about Hunter Biden versus Trump at that point.
• 2:36:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 2:36:59
  Speaker 5: The other person wasn't named there.
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 10: Right.
• 2:37:01
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 2:37:02
  Speaker 41: So you remember how there was all this controversy around it.
• 2:37:05
  Speaker 41: And I'm– because I exist somewhat outside the political norms,
• 2:37:08
  Speaker 41: will say to people, yeah, oh, I'm right there with you.
• 2:37:11
  Speaker 41: I think that's a problem. I think that's worth investigating.
• 2:37:14
  Speaker 41: Do I think it's also questionable that he pardoned his son?
• 2:37:18
  Speaker 41: It's understandable as a father. I'm a father too. But
• 2:37:22
  Speaker 41: you have to ask yourself, well, what is this paving
• 2:37:24
  Speaker 41: the way for? What does this allow– what does this
• 2:37:26
  Speaker 41: create a permission structure for in future administrations? And with
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 41: a president so profoundly comfortable with a transactional way of
• 2:37:36
  Speaker 41: being in this country, we have levels of corruption that
• 2:37:40
  Speaker 41: I don't think we've ever seen in modern American history.
• 2:37:43
  Speaker 5: No, I agree with that.
• 2:37:45
  Speaker 23: And now people are just thinking it's fine.
• 2:37:47
  Speaker 41: And we've also pathologized critique. So when someone says this
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 41: is a problem, they say, oh, we have Trump derangement syndrome.
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 41: You have created a situation where any critique can be
• 2:37:58
  Speaker 41: immediately labeled as an illness.
• 2:38:00
  Speaker 7: Now, that's, again, dangerous.
• 2:38:02
  Speaker 41: It removes the possibility of legitimate critique and conversation. That's
• 2:38:06
  Speaker 41: one of the reasons I'm such a huge fan of
• 2:38:07
  Speaker 41: this station is because that conversation and critique can actually
• 2:38:11
  Speaker 41: happen in a good faith dialogue. It's frustrating when you
• 2:38:14
  Speaker 41: can't have that. And the reason I use that word
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 41: cultic dynamic is because that is how these things work.
• 2:38:20
  Speaker 41: Critique will be silenced. Any disloyalty will be silenced or
• 2:38:24
  Speaker 41: pushed aside. And, I mean, think about in the early
• 2:38:28
  Speaker 41: part of this latest term he's got. There was the
• 2:38:32
  Speaker 41: Trump's literal golden calf statue in Mar-a-Lago covered in $ 100
• 2:38:38
  Speaker 41: bills with his name on it. Like, what are we doing? Now, again,
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 41: as a Christian— I have certain feelings about idols, Golden
• 2:38:45
  Speaker 41: Calf maybe specifically. But this is a thing that was
• 2:38:49
  Speaker 41: in what is essentially his house. I know it's kind
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 41: of a hotel too. Lord help anyone previously if they
• 2:38:54
  Speaker 41: had done something like that because that would be all
• 2:38:57
  Speaker 41: over the news and you would have incredible amounts of outrage.
• 2:39:01
  Speaker 41: Then we start to move to the giant golden statue
• 2:39:04
  Speaker 41: of himself.
• 2:39:05
  Speaker 5: He puts out so much. And maybe this is a plan.
• 2:39:11
  Speaker 5: He puts out so much. Like spaghetti on a wall.
• 2:39:14
  Speaker 5: You can't. I mean, you're a very intelligent individual. We
• 2:39:17
  Speaker 5: all are here to listen on the station. But you
• 2:39:18
  Speaker 5: can't simply follow and follow up with all that's happening.
• 2:39:23
  Speaker 5: It's like so much is against the wall and so
• 2:39:25
  Speaker 5: much is in the insanity realm. How do you go
• 2:39:28
  Speaker 5: down it to try to defend it? And by the
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 5: time you get– he's already on to something else. It's
• 2:39:32
  Speaker 5: like– and then the whole idea of– it's no longer
• 2:39:38
  Speaker 5: affecting you because it's so much of it, you're almost numb.
• 2:39:41
  Speaker 31: To it all.
• 2:39:42
  Speaker 41: Well, yeah, this is part of what's called the flood
• 2:39:44
  Speaker 41: the zone strategy, the idea being that you create so
• 2:39:48
  Speaker 41: much controversy, so much going on that it inundates the
• 2:39:51
  Speaker 41: news cycle to the point where a lot of the
• 2:39:54
  Speaker 41: things that you might actually be more interested in doing
• 2:39:58
  Speaker 41: like maybe selling out our population to corporate interests, maybe
• 2:40:02
  Speaker 41: like doing corporate asset stripping, because, boy, this sure seems
• 2:40:06
  Speaker 41: like something we're dealing with right now. When that stuff
• 2:40:08
  Speaker 41: is happening, we're too busy about talking about the fact that, hey,
• 2:40:11
  Speaker 41: they just renamed Lake Ontario to Lake America, something that
• 2:40:17
  Speaker 41: doesn't do anything about affordability.
• 2:40:20
  Speaker 5: And really quick on that, I guess I just want
• 2:40:23
  Speaker 5: everybody to realize that It wasn't named Ontario because of Canada.
• 2:40:28
  Speaker 5: It was named Ontario because of the indigenous people. They
• 2:40:32
  Speaker 5: gave it that name. They were– so to rename it
• 2:40:36
  Speaker 5: is sort of just erasing the indigenous people and their
• 2:40:40
  Speaker 5: way of being and their celebration of that part of
• 2:40:42
  Speaker 5: the world, which– It just goes on to the bulldozer
• 2:40:47
  Speaker 5: of Donald Trump, who just doesn't care, right?
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 41: Well, you know, this administration, as well as I would
• 2:40:52
  Speaker 41: argue the broader political mainstream, requires the large-scale erasure of
• 2:40:57
  Speaker 41: history in order to function. Now, for example, a couple
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 41: months back, we talked about the placards being removed somewhere
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 41: in D.C. that talked about slavery. You know, this erasure
• 2:41:07
  Speaker 41: of history is foundational to any authoritarian project, regardless of
• 2:41:13
  Speaker 41: what party it comes from. And Orwell also warned about
• 2:41:16
  Speaker 41: this kind of stuff. You know, we've always been at
• 2:41:17
  Speaker 41: war with East Asia. That kind of stuff is a
• 2:41:22
  Speaker 41: dynamic within authoritarian power structures that is studied, understood, repeated,
• 2:41:28
  Speaker 41: and yet we're still sleepwalking through history, completely ignoring what's happening.
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 5: So why, if all this is going, and I agree
• 2:41:35
  Speaker 5: with you on everything. So if this is happening, if
• 2:41:37
  Speaker 5: this erasing of history, this sort of bulldozing through everything
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 5: with clutter of nonsense... Why aren't we rising up to
• 2:41:46
  Speaker 5: stop it? What's going on? The people aren't rising to say, hey,
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 5: we've had enough of this. Why isn't there a pushback?
• 2:41:54
  Speaker 41: Well, there is an ever-diminishing number of people that are
• 2:41:56
  Speaker 41: so loyal to this administration and this person that there
• 2:42:00
  Speaker 41: is simply no amount of factual information that can break
• 2:42:05
  Speaker 41: through that cognitive dissonance. However, your question is purely to
• 2:42:08
  Speaker 41: the majority of people. And why isn't that happening? There
• 2:42:11
  Speaker 41: are a couple of reasons. Remember that whole affordability thing?
• 2:42:14
  Speaker 36: Yeah.
• 2:42:14
  Speaker 41: I work like 80 hours a week just to stay alive.
• 2:42:16
  Speaker 41: So Nietzsche once said work is the best police, by
• 2:42:20
  Speaker 41: which he meant in that quote. If you are having
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 41: to work so constantly just to stay alive, the higher
• 2:42:27
  Speaker 41: concept questions, the possibility of resistance become impossible and can
• 2:42:32
  Speaker 41: be more repressive than an actual direct downward pressure on
• 2:42:36
  Speaker 41: the people. And that's there for anyone who breaks through,
• 2:42:38
  Speaker 41: of course. But the work is one thing. The affordability
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 41: is another thing. And I would argue the large-scale assassination
• 2:42:46
  Speaker 41: of the American intellect has happened over the course of
• 2:42:49
  Speaker 41: my lifetime and probably to a large degree before as well.
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 41: But thinking about the literacy scores in the schools that
• 2:42:56
  Speaker 41: I went to, absolutely abysmal. And even if you can
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 41: learn to read, it doesn't matter if you know how
• 2:43:01
  Speaker 41: to read. Perhaps if you're not reading, if there's not
• 2:43:04
  Speaker 41: a spirit of inquiry, if school is reduced to passing
• 2:43:08
  Speaker 41: a test rather than inspiring the interest in learning itself,
• 2:43:12
  Speaker 41: you are going to have a very easily controllable population.
• 2:43:16
  Speaker 41: And so people will simply shrug with this dull ache
• 2:43:19
  Speaker 41: in them that something is wrong, but they won't have
• 2:43:20
  Speaker 41: the cognitive framework to define it.
• 2:43:23
  Speaker 5: Awesome. Awesome. Again, we're here with Hayward Gatch. And everything
• 2:43:28
  Speaker 5: you're saying here, it's spot on. And by the way,
• 2:43:31
  Speaker 5: if you want to join our conversation, it's 860-464-9490. And
• 2:43:33
  Speaker 5: I hear the words that you're speaking, and it's sad. Like,
• 2:43:35
  Speaker 5: I'm actually sad now. Because what you're saying is actually happening.
• 2:43:49
  Speaker 5: And that feeling that you're talking about, it's here. It's
• 2:43:54
  Speaker 5: inside of me. And I'm actually sad because, you know,
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 5: words are spells. So you're saying things, but they're actually true.
• 2:44:00
  Speaker 5: And it's happening. And this is the direction our government
• 2:44:03
  Speaker 5: is doing. They're actually trying purposefully to keep us low frequency.
• 2:44:09
  Speaker 32: Sure.
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 41: There are many ways that you can describe this dynamic.
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 41: I might tend to lean more on historical terms, but yes,
• 2:44:19
  Speaker 41: you have to remember that foundationally, back to its very beginning,
• 2:44:22
  Speaker 41: the purpose of governments and states has been to consolidate
• 2:44:27
  Speaker 41: and maintain power. That is what they're for. Now, if
• 2:44:30
  Speaker 41: you can dress that up with a welfare state, for example,
• 2:44:34
  Speaker 41: or highways or a really cool air force, Those are
• 2:44:38
  Speaker 41: all things that can be added to what is fundamentally
• 2:44:41
  Speaker 41: a state, but if you strip everything down to just
• 2:44:44
  Speaker 41: a power structure and an ability to extort whatever they
• 2:44:48
  Speaker 41: want from their citizenry, that's still a state. So by
• 2:44:51
  Speaker 41: what I mean, that is the foundation, and that is
• 2:44:53
  Speaker 41: still there. You can throw as many layers on top
• 2:44:56
  Speaker 41: of it as you want, but its foundational interests are
• 2:44:59
  Speaker 41: still there.
• 2:45:00
  Speaker 7: And will be expressed.
• 2:45:01
  Speaker 41: And this is why people like me are deeply skeptical
• 2:45:04
  Speaker 41: of dynamics of power, no matter where they are, because
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 41: we foundationally do not trust power.
• 2:45:11
  Speaker 5: OK, so really quick, really quick. So we have an
• 2:45:15
  Speaker 5: election coming up. So we're talking about power and we're
• 2:45:18
  Speaker 5: talking about control and how and frequency and keeping people down.
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 5: So how do you see this playing out? I mean,
• 2:45:24
  Speaker 5: so hear me out for a second. So we have
• 2:45:26
  Speaker 5: an election and let's say it's a blue wave, as
• 2:45:29
  Speaker 5: they as they say it might be. What happens to
• 2:45:33
  Speaker 5: Donald Trump at that point? Is he litigated for the
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 5: rest of his life? Is he going to be impeached
• 2:45:40
  Speaker 5: at that point? And if you're Donald Trump, what do
• 2:45:44
  Speaker 5: you do about it?
• 2:45:46
  Speaker 41: Well, if there is this blue wave in the midterms,
• 2:45:49
  Speaker 41: if you have a situation where all these investigations are happening,
• 2:45:52
  Speaker 41: it's certainly not going to be hard to find things.
• 2:45:56
  Speaker 41: You know, you have a country right now that is
• 2:45:59
  Speaker 41: witnessing the daily unfolding of levels of corruption that would
• 2:46:02
  Speaker 41: have ruined previous presidencies. I don't remember specifically who said it,
• 2:46:06
  Speaker 41: but one of the people associated with the Trump administration
• 2:46:08
  Speaker 41: recently said, I think it's ridiculous that Watergate ended the
• 2:46:11
  Speaker 41: Nixon administration. And the reason they say that, of course,
• 2:46:13
  Speaker 41: is because what they're doing now is so far beyond
• 2:46:17
  Speaker 41: the pale.
• 2:46:18
  Speaker 40: Yeah.
• 2:46:18
  Speaker 41: And so I think it's entirely possible he will be
• 2:46:22
  Speaker 41: stuck in investigations for the remainder of his life, especially.
• 2:46:25
  Speaker 5: Do you think he's going to try to stop or
• 2:46:28
  Speaker 5: proactively say, hey, the elections were rigged?
• 2:46:31
  Speaker 31: Well, absolutely.
• 2:46:32
  Speaker 5: You think that's what's going to happen?
• 2:46:33
  Speaker 41: I think it's part of his nature to always say
• 2:46:36
  Speaker 41: that things are rigged. I think people on either side
• 2:46:39
  Speaker 41: of the aisle can agree— This is broadly in alignment
• 2:46:42
  Speaker 41: with a narcissistic type personality that really struggles with the
• 2:46:45
  Speaker 41: idea that he could ever lose. And that's actually something
• 2:46:48
  Speaker 41: that might be very helpful in the business world, right?
• 2:46:50
  Speaker 41: You just keep going. You never admit defeat. That's helpful
• 2:46:53
  Speaker 41: in that context. Now, when we're all subject to it,
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 41: maybe it's a little bit less helpful. I don't think
• 2:46:58
  Speaker 41: he will ever admit defeat regardless of what happens. Even
• 2:47:02
  Speaker 41: in 2016, he said, well, I'll accept the results if
• 2:47:04
  Speaker 41: I win. So this is a personality type that is
• 2:47:07
  Speaker 41: known and understood. However, I also think that his health
• 2:47:12
  Speaker 41: is certainly not in its best form. You know, if
• 2:47:14
  Speaker 41: you really look at how he is on a day-to-day basis,
• 2:47:18
  Speaker 41: when I say I think he'll be investigated, for the
• 2:47:20
  Speaker 41: remainder of his earthly life, I think that's because I
• 2:47:23
  Speaker 41: don't know how much longer it's going to be.
• 2:47:25
  Speaker 23: The guy's 80 and in poor health.
• 2:47:27
  Speaker 5: I got you. So we're going to stop for a second.
• 2:47:28
  Speaker 5: We're going to go to line one here. Dan is
• 2:47:30
  Speaker 5: on line one. Dan, welcome to the show.
• 2:47:33
  Speaker 59: Hey, thanks for having me on. I wanted to say
• 2:47:36
  Speaker 59: you mentioned entropy before. There is a caveat to entropy,
• 2:47:39
  Speaker 59: and that is, you know, if it's a closed system
• 2:47:42
  Speaker 59: where no energy is added, and I think that that's
• 2:47:45
  Speaker 59: probably what the important thing is here, is that energy
• 2:47:49
  Speaker 59: needs to be added. The only reason the whole, they
• 2:47:52
  Speaker 59: said something like if you took all the human beings
• 2:47:55
  Speaker 59: off the planet and waited 100 or 150 years, it's
• 2:48:00
  Speaker 59: some shockingly low number. They said you would not be
• 2:48:03
  Speaker 59: able to find any trace of humanity, except for maybe
• 2:48:07
  Speaker 59: the Hoover Dam. A couple things like that might be
• 2:48:09
  Speaker 59: still kicking around that you'd be able to find. But roads, bridges, tunnels, cities,
• 2:48:14
  Speaker 59: all gone. You would just look like there never was
• 2:48:17
  Speaker 59: a human unless you dug around in the dirt a little.
• 2:48:22
  Speaker 59: And I think that's important that good people do something
• 2:48:25
  Speaker 59: about it. You know, you have to add energy to
• 2:48:28
  Speaker 59: the system in order to stop the decay. And clearly
• 2:48:32
  Speaker 59: what we're experiencing is decay, you know, socially decay and
• 2:48:37
  Speaker 59: political decay. So, you know, it starts with that. The
• 2:48:41
  Speaker 59: other comment I wanted to make was about you sort
• 2:48:44
  Speaker 59: of discounted the Bible by saying that it was written
• 2:48:47
  Speaker 59: by man. I would also like to point out that
• 2:48:50
  Speaker 59: astrology charts and tarot cards and the books about energy
• 2:48:54
  Speaker 59: and all these other things are also written by man.
• 2:48:57
  Speaker 5: Right, but astrology we can see.
• 2:48:58
  Speaker 59: You have to give them a little bit of equal treatment.
• 2:49:01
  Speaker 5: Astrology, though, we can physically see, right? I can see
• 2:49:03
  Speaker 5: a star.
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 59: Sorry, got a train going by.
• 2:49:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, that's okay. Sorry. Astrology you can physically measure, though, correct?
• 2:49:10
  Speaker 5: I can measure the astrology. I can measure the moons.
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 5: I can measure the planets, the orbits, and how it
• 2:49:15
  Speaker 5: all operates. I can measure that stuff. I can't measure...
• 2:49:19
  Speaker 5: when in the Bible Jesus is talking to God and
• 2:49:22
  Speaker 5: we're talking about it, and who is there documenting that?
• 2:49:25
  Speaker 5: I have no idea. How is that even happening? But
• 2:49:29
  Speaker 5: this is a larger conversation. Dan, I've got to run.
• 2:49:31
  Speaker 5: Thank you for the call, as always. Hayward, any last thoughts?
• 2:49:36
  Speaker 41: Well, I'll definitely agree with Dan's comments about adding energy
• 2:49:39
  Speaker 41: to the system. I think it's incumbent upon good people
• 2:49:41
  Speaker 41: to do the right thing, and even in very confusing times.
• 2:49:47
  Speaker 41: Doing the next right thing is very helpful. I will
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 41: perhaps gently push back on the astrology thing again, being
• 2:49:54
  Speaker 41: the other Christian in the room. I think, yes, we
• 2:49:57
  Speaker 41: can measure the moon. We can measure the stars. The
• 2:49:59
  Speaker 41: ascribing of additional meaning to it is something that we've done.
• 2:50:03
  Speaker 41: You know, it's a theory. It's an idea. And, yeah, sure,
• 2:50:07
  Speaker 41: you can measure the moon.
• 2:50:08
  Speaker 31: It's up there.
• 2:50:09
  Speaker 41: But whether or not it says, you know, how you're
• 2:50:11
  Speaker 41: going to feel today, that's, you know, a matter of belief.
• 2:50:14
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 2:50:15
  Speaker 5: Well, we have to go. Always a pleasure to have you, Hayward.
• 2:50:17
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 5: Next week, we have a great schedule for you. Monday, George. Tuesday, Tony. Wednesday, Bruce. Thursday,
• 2:50:28
  Speaker 5: Dan and Lady Mo. And Friday, me again. You know,
• 2:50:33
  Speaker 5: ready to rock the show. We'll put it all together.
• 2:50:37
  Speaker 5: And we'll go from there. So static element. was in
• 2:50:42
  Speaker 5: the studio yesterday to support America First, and this is
• 2:50:45
  Speaker 5: what they have to say. Here we go. Thank you,
• 2:50:49
  Speaker 5: and have a good Friday.
