- 0:00SPEAKER_02: Yo, bro,
- 0:01SPEAKER_02: somebody says in the comments,
- 0:03SPEAKER_02: they were like, bro, drop it down, please, to a six or seven, bro.
- 0:07SPEAKER_03: No.
- 0:08SPEAKER_03: No, exactly.
- 0:10SPEAKER_03: No, they may be doing the meme.
- 0:13SPEAKER_03: Oh, bro, I can't hear you.
- 0:17SPEAKER_03: Is that me?
- 0:18SPEAKER_03: Audience, can you hear him?
- 0:21SPEAKER_03: Oh, shit.
- 0:30SPEAKER_02: Bro, somebody said to me, you got to drop it down to a six or seven, bro.
- 0:36SPEAKER_03: I took it as the meme six, seven.
- 0:39SPEAKER_03: What does that mean?
- 0:39SPEAKER_03: What's six, seven?
- 0:40SPEAKER_03: But it could, that could be brain rot Gen Z though.
- 0:44SPEAKER_03: What is six, seven, bro?
- 0:47SPEAKER_03: I don't even know how to explain it to an unk, if you don't know.
- 0:51SPEAKER_02: No, no, no, bro, bro, look, look, I'll show you.
- 0:53SPEAKER_02: It says Roach,
- 0:54SPEAKER_02: his name is Roachoid,
- 0:56SPEAKER_02: and he said, hey,
- 0:56SPEAKER_02: Vibe Samurai,
- 0:57SPEAKER_02: can you drop a chill like la six to seven, la six to seven, six dash seven.
- 1:04SPEAKER_03: All right, well, all I can say to be, what you want is you do this motion with a six, seven.
- 1:14SPEAKER_03: What is that?
- 1:15SPEAKER_03: I'm too slow, bro.
- 1:16SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna have
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: to add AI.
- 1:19SPEAKER_00: I gotta find like a video that
- 1:20SPEAKER_03: explains it or
- 1:21SPEAKER_00: something.
- 1:22SPEAKER_02: What is 6-7?
- 1:24SPEAKER_03: It started as a song and then some little white kid at a school,
- 1:30SPEAKER_03: he just like said 6-7 and did this, I guess, and then it just became...
- 1:34SPEAKER_03: He did this?
- 1:35SPEAKER_03: Like this?
- 1:36SPEAKER_03: Yes, yes.
- 1:37SPEAKER_03: And then the rest is history.
- 1:41SPEAKER_03: It just became a very viral meme.
- 1:43SPEAKER_03: Really?
- 1:44SPEAKER_03: How long ago was that?
- 1:45SPEAKER_03: I don't remember seeing that.
- 1:46SPEAKER_03: Bro, that was this past year.
- 1:49SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 1:50SPEAKER_02: Damn.
- 1:51SPEAKER_03: Yeah, if you're not chronically online, you know, you won't see this.
- 1:56SPEAKER_03: But also, I'm curious about your algorithm then, yeah.
- 1:59SPEAKER_03: Because you probably just don't see brain rot.
- 2:03SPEAKER_03: I probably don't see brain rot, bro.
- 2:06SPEAKER_03: Maybe I don't see brain rot.
- 2:07SPEAKER_03: It's a particular humor, I guess.
- 2:10SPEAKER_03: Let's say hello to the people watching right now.
- 2:13SPEAKER_03: Everybody, where are you from?
- 2:14SPEAKER_03: Where are you guys watching from?
- 2:17SPEAKER_03: Let's get some comments.
- 2:18SPEAKER_03: Let's see who's active in this.
- 2:20SPEAKER_02: You know what?
- 2:20SPEAKER_02: Tonight, guys, I also wanted to announce to Cisco, Cisco, Vibe Sesh 27.
- 2:25SPEAKER_02: I am your co-host.
- 2:27SPEAKER_02: You are officially the host of Vibe Sesh 27.
- 2:31SPEAKER_02: So you're going to handle everything.
- 2:33SPEAKER_02: I'm just going to be your co-host.
- 2:34SPEAKER_02: And when Preston comes in, you know, I already know him.
- 2:37SPEAKER_02: So you're going to guide the conversation.
- 2:39SPEAKER_02: Just completely winging it.
- 2:41SPEAKER_02: You don't even know anything about him, right?
- 2:43SPEAKER_02: We know a few things.
- 2:44SPEAKER_02: He's poker guy.
- 2:45SPEAKER_02: He's psychic channeling.
- 2:46SPEAKER_02: We're going to get his story, right, Cisco?
- 2:48SPEAKER_02: But you're going to leave this one.
- 2:49SPEAKER_02: So go ahead.
- 2:50SPEAKER_02: I'm going to keep my mouth shut.
- 2:52SPEAKER_03: All right.
- 2:53SPEAKER_03: Is he joining or?
- 2:54SPEAKER_03: No, he's coming in 20 minutes, bro.
- 2:56SPEAKER_03: You got to entertain
- 2:58SPEAKER_02: the crowd.
- 2:59SPEAKER_02: Bro, you said 830.
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: Bro, I said 830 for us, but it's
- 3:02SPEAKER_03: 9 for him.
- 3:03SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 3:09SPEAKER_02: But anyway, entertain the crowd.
- 3:11SPEAKER_02: And tonight, the crowd host, don't get scared now.
- 3:13SPEAKER_02: Come on.
- 3:13SPEAKER_03: No, I'm good.
- 3:14SPEAKER_03: I was just like, all right, let me ask him questions.
- 3:16SPEAKER_03: I'm like, you are, bro.
- 3:17SPEAKER_03: You know, I see he does poker and yeah, because this thing says Chandler Psychic WSOP bracelet.
- 3:29SPEAKER_02: He won a WSOP World Series of Poker.
- 3:31SPEAKER_02: That's a very big deal.
- 3:32SPEAKER_02: That means he's...
- 3:34SPEAKER_02: That's like the top echelons of poker.
- 3:36SPEAKER_02: Yeah, so he was an elite poker player, bro.
- 3:39SPEAKER_02: And then on top of that, bro, because I want you to ask him questions.
- 3:43SPEAKER_02: Let's see if I give you some prep work, right?
- 3:45SPEAKER_02: So he's a poker player.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: We don't really know his story because he came on Omnivore Live
- 3:50SPEAKER_02: and he just did his like psychic channeling thing.
- 3:52SPEAKER_02: And then like all of us just got into it.
- 3:55SPEAKER_02: We didn't really get to know his story.
- 3:56SPEAKER_02: We got his ideas and things like that.
- 3:59SPEAKER_02: But like at some point he was a poker player and then something happened.
- 4:02SPEAKER_02: If you look at his Instagram, he has like, He's in the hospital or something like that.
- 4:07SPEAKER_02: So ask him about that video.
- 4:09SPEAKER_02: And then something happens.
- 4:10SPEAKER_02: And then the past six years, he goes on this crazy spiritual journey.
- 4:14SPEAKER_02: And he gets into psychic channeling.
- 4:17SPEAKER_02: He sees gnomes.
- 4:19SPEAKER_02: He talks to interdimensional bouncers at clubs.
- 4:24SPEAKER_02: He sees dead people, bro.
- 4:27SPEAKER_02: But yet he puts a scientific thing on it.
- 4:30SPEAKER_02: Let me ask
- 4:32SPEAKER_03: you a question.
- 4:33SPEAKER_03: Yes, sir.
- 4:34SPEAKER_03: Did he pass your sniff test?
- 4:35SPEAKER_03: Like what?
- 4:39SPEAKER_03: Does it seem bullshit?
- 4:40SPEAKER_03: Or does it seem interesting?
- 4:45SPEAKER_02: Bro, we're trying to find out.
- 4:47SPEAKER_02: I still don't know if it's bullshit or not.
- 4:48SPEAKER_02: But you know what, though?
- 4:50SPEAKER_02: Everything he says makes sense.
- 4:51SPEAKER_02: He's like, oh, I'm applying game theory to consciousness.
- 4:55SPEAKER_02: That's unique.
- 4:56SPEAKER_02: Who talks about...
- 4:57SPEAKER_02: Game theory as applied to consciousness.
- 4:59SPEAKER_02: I got to write this shit down.
- 5:01SPEAKER_02: These are five samurai questions right here.
- 5:03SPEAKER_02: Game theory.
- 5:03SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I would want to see his perspective on it because it's just being cognizant.
- 5:07SPEAKER_02: But what I'm saying is like he's into all of this shit,
- 5:10SPEAKER_02: but he goes like like astrology and all this stuff.
- 5:14SPEAKER_02: He's like it's pattern recognition.
- 5:16SPEAKER_02: So we come once again.
- 5:18SPEAKER_02: Pattern recognition, which is what Tony Robbins, okay?
- 5:23SPEAKER_02: He was on a diary of a CEO and they asked him in an age of AI.
- 5:27SPEAKER_02: This is so deep, bro.
- 5:29SPEAKER_02: I didn't even realize how deep this is.
- 5:31SPEAKER_02: He's on Diary of a CEO, Tony Robbins, and they're talking about AI.
- 5:37SPEAKER_02: And the host asks him, in an age of AI, you have like 100 grandchildren.
- 5:42SPEAKER_02: This dude's been very productive, right?
- 5:44SPEAKER_02: He has literally 100 grandchildren.
- 5:46SPEAKER_02: And he was like, what would you teach your grandchildren or whatever in the age of AI?
- 5:52SPEAKER_02: He said, pattern recognition, bro.
- 5:55SPEAKER_02: He said, patterns, patterns, patterns.
- 5:56SPEAKER_02: If you know how to recognize patterns,
- 5:58SPEAKER_02: you're going to be better than AI, you know, kind of thing.
- 6:02SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 6:04SPEAKER_03: Large language models are just a big pattern recognition machine.
- 6:08SPEAKER_03: You just keep stuffing it with data and it's like recognizing patterns.
- 6:11SPEAKER_03: So that is very interesting.
- 6:14SPEAKER_03: Because he said at
- 6:15SPEAKER_02: that first level,
- 6:16SPEAKER_02: I don't know if I'm going to remember the levels,
- 6:19SPEAKER_02: but on the first level, it's just recognizing patterns, right?
- 6:24SPEAKER_02: Something like that.
- 6:25SPEAKER_02: Like the ability to recognize, because most people can't, right?
- 6:28SPEAKER_02: Or they're not doing it.
- 6:29SPEAKER_02: And then the second level was like,
- 6:31SPEAKER_02: Being able to change and transform things because you recognize the patterns.
- 6:37SPEAKER_02: And number three was something like creating new patterns.
- 6:41SPEAKER_02: And I feel like that's what we're doing with Vibe Sash, bro.
- 6:45SPEAKER_02: You understand?
- 6:47SPEAKER_02: And I was talking to Sully.
- 6:48SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you know what he's doing, but you know he's doing the Bitcoin sentiment guy.
- 6:52SPEAKER_02: He's the Bitcoin sentiment guy.
- 6:55SPEAKER_02: Bro, guess what?
- 6:56SPEAKER_02: That's creating patterns.
- 6:59SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 7:00SPEAKER_02: I don't think anyone's done that before.
- 7:02SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 7:03SPEAKER_02: But that's what I'm saying.
- 7:04SPEAKER_02: So there's levels to this game, son.
- 7:07SPEAKER_02: There's pattern recognition, pattern, I forget the second level.
- 7:10SPEAKER_02: And then the third is the pattern creation.
- 7:13SPEAKER_02: Oh, pattern recognition, pattern replication.
- 7:16SPEAKER_02: So you're able to see a pattern and copy it,
- 7:20SPEAKER_02: you know, and then you have something, someone who creates it from scratch.
- 7:25SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 7:28SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's like kind of growing through self-awareness and then now you can create it now.
- 7:35SPEAKER_02: Right, because you see everything, right?
- 7:37SPEAKER_02: You see everything, you can actually copy one template, but now you see beyond that.
- 7:43SPEAKER_02: Now you can create.
- 7:44SPEAKER_03: My brain kind of think of like chess too.
- 7:46SPEAKER_03: Like, you know,
- 7:47SPEAKER_03: you kind of see the board,
- 7:49SPEAKER_03: you try to replicate certain plays and then now you're,
- 7:52SPEAKER_03: you can visualize plays, I guess, maybe and do some, Bro, your mic again went mute.
- 7:59SPEAKER_03: I don't know if you did a thing again.
- 8:01SPEAKER_02: I did it again.
- 8:02SPEAKER_02: How about now?
- 8:03SPEAKER_02: Shit, I don't know why.
- 8:04SPEAKER_03: The chat moving?
- 8:05SPEAKER_03: Because I don't see it moving right now.
- 8:07SPEAKER_02: Your chat?
- 8:08SPEAKER_02: The chat?
- 8:08SPEAKER_03: Do you see the comments moving at all?
- 8:10SPEAKER_03: Yeah, let me see.
- 8:11SPEAKER_02: So we got Barista Homie.
- 8:13SPEAKER_02: Give a shout out to Barista Homie.
- 8:14SPEAKER_02: She's an omnivore Cisco.
- 8:16SPEAKER_03: Bro, the last person I see is Rochwood.
- 8:20SPEAKER_02: I see Hawaiians watching.
- 8:21SPEAKER_02: She said Hawaiians are watching, bro.
- 8:23SPEAKER_02: Hawaiians are watching.
- 8:24SPEAKER_02: Damn, bro.
- 8:25SPEAKER_02: I think my comments glitched.
- 8:27SPEAKER_02: I can't read it.
- 8:28SPEAKER_02: I'll read it for you, bro.
- 8:29SPEAKER_02: I'm your co-host, bro.
- 8:31SPEAKER_02: Bro, I'm your co-host.
- 8:32SPEAKER_02: I'm your co-host.
- 8:33SPEAKER_02: And then Alexander Virgin says, praise the Lord.
- 8:36SPEAKER_02: Let's give a shout out to the Lord.
- 8:39SPEAKER_02: Serious?
- 8:39SPEAKER_02: We got Christians in here.
- 8:41SPEAKER_02: And then Alex Virgin again says 144,000.
- 8:45SPEAKER_02: I don't know what that means.
- 8:47SPEAKER_02: And then Jenny says, on something, my friend, it's cool.
- 8:50SPEAKER_02: Just wondering what you drink.
- 8:52SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 8:52SPEAKER_02: People drinking.
- 8:53SPEAKER_02: Barista saying no, haha.
- 8:54SPEAKER_02: There's a lot of comments tonight, bro.
- 8:56SPEAKER_02: What are you drinking right there?
- 8:57SPEAKER_02: Croix?
- 8:58SPEAKER_02: La Croix.
- 9:00SPEAKER_03: Uh-huh.
- 9:00SPEAKER_03: Pasquet?
- 9:02SPEAKER_03: It's watermelon.
- 9:04SPEAKER_02: Ha!
- 9:05SPEAKER_02: Bro!
- 9:06SPEAKER_02: Canadian Ridgeback family said this.
- 9:08SPEAKER_02: Pattern recognition is you guys saying bro like a hundred times in one minute.
- 9:13SPEAKER_02: Bro, people are so fucking critical, bro.
- 9:16SPEAKER_02: I said bro again.
- 9:17SPEAKER_02: How many times are we going to say bro?
- 9:19SPEAKER_03: Bro.
- 9:19SPEAKER_03: Bro.
- 9:23SPEAKER_03: Well, the next pattern is the mmmm.
- 9:27SPEAKER_03: I wonder if anyone's picking up on that.
- 9:30SPEAKER_02: You know,
- 9:31SPEAKER_02: somebody,
- 9:32SPEAKER_02: someone in the Anavore Club said whenever he is in deep reflection, he says mmmm.
- 9:38SPEAKER_02: And I said, no, for me it's mmmm.
- 9:41SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 9:43SPEAKER_02: Which one are you?
- 9:44SPEAKER_02: You seem like a mix, actually.
- 9:47SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I haven't analyzed the levels to mmmm, but...
- 9:53SPEAKER_03: I don't know, but I, man,
- 9:56SPEAKER_03: it is such a good tool though, because sometimes I have nothing to say to somebody.
- 10:02SPEAKER_02: And mmm just hits it.
- 10:03SPEAKER_02: And then they continue speaking.
- 10:05SPEAKER_02: Right, right, right.
- 10:05SPEAKER_02: But what do you think is happening with the other person when I say mmm to you?
- 10:10SPEAKER_02: I get an I agree vibe.
- 10:15SPEAKER_02: I get a much more than I agree vibe.
- 10:19SPEAKER_02: If somebody says that to me genuinely,
- 10:21SPEAKER_02: what I get is like, mmm, you're interested in what I have to say.
- 10:25SPEAKER_02: It's not just like I heard you.
- 10:26SPEAKER_02: It's the way of the...
- 10:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 10:29SPEAKER_02: You're right.
- 10:30SPEAKER_02: It can't just be like...
- 10:32SPEAKER_03: It's a style.
- 10:34SPEAKER_03: Right, right.
- 10:35SPEAKER_03: It's contextualized, you know?
- 10:36SPEAKER_03: So it's very nuanced.
- 10:37SPEAKER_02: This texture to the mmm.
- 10:39SPEAKER_03: Like reading a transcript of an mmm, you could never know.
- 10:44SPEAKER_03: Until you saw it, you know?
- 10:46SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 10:49SPEAKER_02: So Barista Homie says, there are all bro in the clubhouse too.
- 10:53SPEAKER_02: LOL.
- 10:54SPEAKER_02: Yeah, broski.
- 10:56SPEAKER_02: Bro, you need some bros in your life.
- 10:58SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 10:58SPEAKER_02: You need more bros in your life.
- 11:00SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 11:00SPEAKER_02: You can't even say bro.
- 11:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, exactly, dude.
- 11:03SPEAKER_02: What's going on?
- 11:04SPEAKER_02: Bro, what the fuck's going on?
- 11:05SPEAKER_02: You can't even say bros. People.
- 11:08SPEAKER_03: Bro, seriously.
- 11:09SPEAKER_03: No bro challenge.
- 11:09SPEAKER_03: Seriously.
- 11:10SPEAKER_02: I mean, I wonder what that means, bro, to say like, I think he's joking, though.
- 11:15SPEAKER_02: I think he's joking.
- 11:16SPEAKER_03: Yeah, he's joking.
- 11:17SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 11:17SPEAKER_02: So Mao says,
- 11:18SPEAKER_02: video games got a lot to think about in terms of decision making and reaction times.
- 11:23SPEAKER_02: What do you say to that, Cisco?
- 11:25SPEAKER_03: I would agree.
- 11:26SPEAKER_03: I mean, I grew up, Heavily addicted to video games and I played all kinds.
- 11:29SPEAKER_03: So I think in a certain sense, yeah.
- 11:33SPEAKER_03: And especially like team coordination, if you played multiplayer.
- 11:38SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but it does depend on the games you're playing.
- 11:42SPEAKER_03: I think I forgot who was hiring,
- 11:45SPEAKER_03: but like certain type of military or something,
- 11:48SPEAKER_03: they were like trying to hire,
- 11:49SPEAKER_03: hire gamers, especially when they could be more remote controlled.
- 11:53SPEAKER_03: And oh, you know, it's probably those drone, those drone motherfuckers.
- 11:58SPEAKER_03: The drama first.
- 12:03SPEAKER_03: Like just thinking about it.
- 12:04SPEAKER_03: But yeah, pattern recognition, man.
- 12:07SPEAKER_03: That's a very interesting.
- 12:10SPEAKER_03: And I feel like with your story,
- 12:12SPEAKER_03: I feel like you started particularly young because you wanted to be,
- 12:15SPEAKER_03: you know, the psychoanalyzer of criminals or something.
- 12:21SPEAKER_03: Profiler, bro.
- 12:22SPEAKER_03: You did financing, you know, or finance.
- 12:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 12:25SPEAKER_03: So you're recognizing patterns in the market and then you...
- 12:29SPEAKER_02: It's all pattern recognition, bro.
- 12:31SPEAKER_02: That's what we're saying.
- 12:32SPEAKER_02: It's all pattern recognition, bro.
- 12:33SPEAKER_02: It's all pattern recognition, bro.
- 12:36SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 12:36SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 12:37SPEAKER_02: And some people are just more sensitive to it than others.
- 12:40SPEAKER_02: Omnivores, I feel like are... Dude, in some of our...
- 12:43SPEAKER_02: The ones that I hosted,
- 12:45SPEAKER_02: the Omnivore Lives,
- 12:47SPEAKER_02: first of all,
- 12:48SPEAKER_02: I analyzed a lot of their stories with AI, like the posts and what they said.
- 12:52SPEAKER_02: And I asked AI...
- 12:55SPEAKER_02: What is common among us?
- 12:57SPEAKER_02: And there was like five or six things.
- 12:59SPEAKER_02: We didn't get to the whole thing.
- 13:00SPEAKER_02: You know how it is.
- 13:01SPEAKER_02: We prepare and then it just goes all over the place.
- 13:03SPEAKER_02: But we did cover one.
- 13:04SPEAKER_02: And the top one on the list was, you guys are pattern hunters.
- 13:09SPEAKER_02: That's what AI said.
- 13:14SPEAKER_02: We're looking for those things.
- 13:16SPEAKER_02: We're making these connections.
- 13:17SPEAKER_02: We love it when we're making this.
- 13:18SPEAKER_03: You're intentionally hungry about it.
- 13:20SPEAKER_02: Yes!
- 13:21SPEAKER_02: You're intentionally hungry about finding patterns, bro.
- 13:26SPEAKER_02: It lights something up.
- 13:28SPEAKER_02: And I don't understand why everybody doesn't have that shit in that way.
- 13:32SPEAKER_02: I mean, I guess people do like they're interested in their thing,
- 13:35SPEAKER_02: but like what's interesting about no,
- 13:37SPEAKER_02: but patterns by the people
- 13:39SPEAKER_03: are purely entertained and want to be like,
- 13:42SPEAKER_03: they're not looking for intellectual things.
- 13:44SPEAKER_03: Like some people genuinely enjoy watching documentaries over Love Island,
- 13:50SPEAKER_03: you know, but some people love that trashy reality TV.
- 13:54SPEAKER_03: I mean, me too,
- 13:56SPEAKER_03: but you just have like an itch you need to scratch on a particular rabbit hole or
- 14:03SPEAKER_03: I don't know,
- 14:04SPEAKER_03: but in that space for people so that they can share that type of stuff
- 14:08SPEAKER_03: because no one else like cares to hear
- 14:10SPEAKER_02: about minutia or macro things.
- 14:13SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 14:14SPEAKER_02: We got a question here for you, Cisco.
- 14:16SPEAKER_02: It says Marvel Marvelous Mischief 69 says, do you view addiction as a disease or a symptom?
- 14:30SPEAKER_02: Addiction as a disease?
- 14:32SPEAKER_02: Symptom.
- 14:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, for you, you're addicted, dude, to pot.
- 14:35SPEAKER_02: How would you call it?
- 14:37SPEAKER_02: That's a disease or a symptom, though?
- 14:39SPEAKER_02: Bro, good question.
- 14:40SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 14:42SPEAKER_03: There's probably some technicality.
- 14:44SPEAKER_03: It's considered a disease, but yeah.
- 14:49SPEAKER_03: More of a symptom, like something led to the behavior to happen.
- 14:56SPEAKER_02: Oh, you know what AI says?
- 14:57SPEAKER_02: He says, addiction often begins as a symptom of And develops into a disease.
- 15:05SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 15:06SPEAKER_03: I think that's what's happening.
- 15:07SPEAKER_03: Reinforced, like indefinitely.
- 15:10SPEAKER_03: So it becomes a part of your like nervous system, I guess.
- 15:16SPEAKER_03: But yeah, I would have to know the definition of disease now.
- 15:20SPEAKER_03: Disease, disease is brain
- 15:22SPEAKER_02: rot, bro.
- 15:23SPEAKER_02: Brain rot is a form of disease.
- 15:25SPEAKER_03: No, no, but like, you know, because like I have arthritis as an example.
- 15:29SPEAKER_03: That's a disease.
- 15:31SPEAKER_03: Where it physically limits you.
- 15:33SPEAKER_03: But then,
- 15:34SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 15:35SPEAKER_03: there's psychological disease, which is just a different type of idea or phenomenon.
- 15:41SPEAKER_03: I guess I could ask AI right now, you know.
- 15:44SPEAKER_02: Bro, I think we should use AI more, dude.
- 15:46SPEAKER_02: Like, this is fun.
- 15:48SPEAKER_02: You know,
- 15:48SPEAKER_02: there's now a lot of influencers who just read their conversations with ChatGPT
- 15:53SPEAKER_02: and they have like hundreds of thousands of fucking followers.
- 15:56SPEAKER_02: Every video is really million.
- 15:58SPEAKER_02: Literally, they have their phone and they go, this is what I asked Chachipiti.
- 16:02SPEAKER_02: And it's deep.
- 16:03SPEAKER_02: So clearly, I don't know if they hate them.
- 16:05SPEAKER_02: Maybe he's faking it.
- 16:06SPEAKER_02: Maybe he got Chachipiti.
- 16:08SPEAKER_02: Ah, shit.
- 16:09SPEAKER_02: He's fucking fooling me now.
- 16:11SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 16:12SPEAKER_02: But whatever.
- 16:13SPEAKER_02: He's reading the shit.
- 16:15SPEAKER_02: And in the comments,
- 16:17SPEAKER_02: he gets tons of people saying,
- 16:18SPEAKER_02: you fucker,
- 16:20SPEAKER_02: why are you using AI, data centers, blah, blah, you know, the whole talking point.
- 16:25SPEAKER_02: But then he doesn't give a shit.
- 16:26SPEAKER_02: He doesn't respond to anything.
- 16:28SPEAKER_02: And he gets like real, he's growing like crazy.
- 16:31SPEAKER_02: He's like 300,000 followers right now.
- 16:33SPEAKER_02: And he just started.
- 16:35SPEAKER_02: That's it?
- 16:35SPEAKER_02: Bro, this is what I'm saying.
- 16:37SPEAKER_02: It's so easy.
- 16:37SPEAKER_02: You should start like that too, Cisco.
- 16:39SPEAKER_02: If you're okay with that heat.
- 16:41SPEAKER_02: If you're okay with that anti-AI heat.
- 16:43SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 16:45SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 16:46SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, yeah.
- 16:47SPEAKER_02: All you have to do is read the fucking Chatsby PT shit.
- 16:51SPEAKER_03: For 90 seconds.
- 16:53SPEAKER_03: I would like to see this guy's page.
- 16:55SPEAKER_03: Just to kind of get a glimpse as to what he's doing.
- 16:58SPEAKER_03: Because yeah, that sounds fucking easy mode.
- 17:00SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 17:02SPEAKER_03: There you go.
- 17:03SPEAKER_03: Damn, bro.
- 17:04SPEAKER_03: Has your AI hate gotten worse or gotten better on your pitch?
- 17:09SPEAKER_02: No, it hasn't been bad.
- 17:11SPEAKER_02: But if you looked at the omnivore, there was a discussion today.
- 17:14SPEAKER_02: And I now see different omnivores talking.
- 17:18SPEAKER_02: And there's a bunch of like, you know, I don't know.
- 17:22SPEAKER_02: I wouldn't say maybe anti-AI sentiment,
- 17:26SPEAKER_02: you know, the data center argument and all that stuff, you know.
- 17:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I feel like I get it.
- 17:36SPEAKER_03: Well, there's plenty of Gen Z against it,
- 17:40SPEAKER_03: but more often than not, older have conflict with it or the
- 17:48SPEAKER_03: rationalizations of it.
- 17:50SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's quite interesting.
- 17:52SPEAKER_03: Rather than embracing it,
- 17:55SPEAKER_03: my thing is I understand both sides, but I take a techno-optimist view.
- 18:01SPEAKER_03: Actually, I have to send you a tweet.
- 18:04SPEAKER_03: Where, hopefully I can find it quick, but this guy resigns from Anthropic.
- 18:12SPEAKER_03: Dude, he has 120 million views on this tweet.
- 18:15SPEAKER_03: Whoa, so what's the tweet about?
- 18:17SPEAKER_03: He says, Jacob Coxon, I resigned from Anthropic today.
- 18:23SPEAKER_03: I spent the last three years doing pre-training research at both OpenAI and Anthropic.
- 18:32SPEAKER_03: Neither company is acting responsibly.
- 18:35SPEAKER_03: They are racing straight to self-improving super intelligence and gambling with our lives.
- 18:41SPEAKER_03: More thoughts below.
- 18:43SPEAKER_03: Do not underestimate the power of this technology.
- 18:46SPEAKER_03: These will soon be superhuman systems that can hack anything,
- 18:50SPEAKER_03: revolutionize any field overnight and acquire real power and resources.
- 18:56SPEAKER_03: We have all witnessed the progress in each of these domains and progress is not slowing.
- 19:03SPEAKER_03: The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us by the end of the decade.
- 19:10SPEAKER_03: This is not a marketing stunt.
- 19:12SPEAKER_03: If anything,
- 19:13SPEAKER_03: many executives and senior researchers will couch their phrasing in the press
- 19:19SPEAKER_03: to sound sensible.
- 19:20SPEAKER_03: But I hear the same people express fear privately.
- 19:24SPEAKER_03: No other human activity poses this level of danger.
- 19:29SPEAKER_02: Not even global warming and shit, bro?
- 19:32SPEAKER_02: This is worse than global warming?
- 19:36SPEAKER_03: A common response is, if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?
- 19:43SPEAKER_03: At OpenAI, many have not been internalized.
- 19:48SPEAKER_02: I don't buy it.
- 19:48SPEAKER_02: I don't buy it.
- 19:49SPEAKER_02: If you truly believe that there was even a 5% chance
- 19:53SPEAKER_02: that you would wipe out humanity,
- 19:56SPEAKER_02: You think he would still go full throttle like this?
- 19:58SPEAKER_02: I don't know, bro, but maybe the greed, the human greed is so powerful.
- 20:05SPEAKER_02: Like they both can exist at the same time.
- 20:08SPEAKER_02: He can think that the world is fucking- I'll say
- 20:11SPEAKER_03: this last tweet because it kind
- 20:14SPEAKER_03: of matches up what you're talking about because this guy is literally in it
- 20:17SPEAKER_03: and he went to both major companies.
- 20:19SPEAKER_03: Right, right.
- 20:20SPEAKER_02: Go ahead.
- 20:20SPEAKER_03: So he says, a comment response is, if they truly believe this, why are they still building it?
- 20:26SPEAKER_03: At OpenAI, many have not deeply internalized the civilizational stakes.
- 20:33SPEAKER_03: The stakes are well understood,
- 20:35SPEAKER_03: but they are locked in a race to get there first.
- 20:39SPEAKER_03: They believe no one else will act responsibly, so they must do it themselves, despite the risk.
- 20:46SPEAKER_02: Wait, so they must do it themselves because they think they're the good guys?
- 20:51SPEAKER_03: They think they can manage and control the
- 20:54SPEAKER_02: superintel.
- 20:55SPEAKER_02: Right, so everybody thinks they can manage the superintel.
- 20:59SPEAKER_03: Oh my god,
- 20:59SPEAKER_02: this is so weird.
- 21:00SPEAKER_03: No, no, but he's saying OpenAI doesn't even understand what's at stake.
- 21:04SPEAKER_03: Anthropic does, and they think they're the guardians that are going to lead it.
- 21:10SPEAKER_03: But it's mistaken is kind of what he gets into.
- 21:14SPEAKER_03: Bro, there's all kinds of different forces going on.
- 21:19SPEAKER_03: Bro, this AI thing is so huge.
- 21:24SPEAKER_03: It's going to maybe prompt itself.
- 21:26SPEAKER_03: Because right now, all AI needs a prompter.
- 21:29SPEAKER_03: Then it can do amazing things.
- 21:32SPEAKER_03: But it's not self-prompting yet.
- 21:35SPEAKER_03: What is it going to self-prompt, brother?
- 21:38SPEAKER_03: What is it going to self-prompt, brother?
- 21:39SPEAKER_03: That's the kind of AGI like...
- 21:42SPEAKER_02: What do you think?
- 21:43SPEAKER_02: What do you think?
- 21:44SPEAKER_02: Man, I gotta ask this question.
- 21:46SPEAKER_02: What do you think is the first AGI self prompt?
- 21:53SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, let me ask ChatGP.
- 21:56SPEAKER_02: Let's put on the Astra model.
- 21:58SPEAKER_02: Hold on, I got really good.
- 22:00SPEAKER_02: I'm going full.
- 22:01SPEAKER_02: Eat your usage.
- 22:02SPEAKER_02: Guys, I'm going to use the tokens just for you guys.
- 22:05SPEAKER_02: This is expensive.
- 22:07SPEAKER_02: We're destroying the environment by doing this, but I'm sorry.
- 22:10SPEAKER_02: All right, this is all for a good cause, and that's the thing.
- 22:14SPEAKER_02: How's the AI reception in
- 22:15SPEAKER_03: this room?
- 22:18SPEAKER_03: Any comments?
- 22:19SPEAKER_03: I can't
- 22:22SPEAKER_02: read shit.
- 22:24SPEAKER_02: Can you type in the comments pro AI or anti AI?
- 22:28SPEAKER_02: Let's do that.
- 22:29SPEAKER_02: Let's see.
- 22:29SPEAKER_02: Anti AI or pro AI?
- 22:31SPEAKER_02: This guy's
- 22:35SPEAKER_03: like, bro, no one knows what's coming.
- 22:39SPEAKER_02: Cisco, this pinned comment says,
- 22:42SPEAKER_02: I think figuring it out on your own Instead of using AI is way more fun,
- 22:48SPEAKER_02: makes you think.
- 22:49SPEAKER_02: So she's saying, I don't know.
- 22:51SPEAKER_02: I don't agree with that.
- 22:52SPEAKER_02: You know, I don't agree with that.
- 22:54SPEAKER_02: Mau, I don't agree with that because for me, the reason why...
- 22:58SPEAKER_02: I'm about efficiency.
- 22:59SPEAKER_02: You're about efficient?
- 23:00SPEAKER_02: Bro, not for me, bro.
- 23:01SPEAKER_02: I'm going to tell you.
- 23:02SPEAKER_02: Because she said, look, I think figuring it out on your own instead of using AI is way more fun.
- 23:07SPEAKER_02: Makes you think, right?
- 23:08SPEAKER_02: My response is, no.
- 23:10SPEAKER_02: Me brainstorming with AI for three, four hours.
- 23:13SPEAKER_02: That's fun.
- 23:15SPEAKER_02: That's figuring shit out.
- 23:18SPEAKER_03: You can say learning is going to Google,
- 23:21SPEAKER_03: either looking for a book,
- 23:23SPEAKER_03: looking for blog posts,
- 23:25SPEAKER_03: like, Like, what is this research that's so much better than my AI?
- 23:29SPEAKER_03: That's searching the same shit times a hundred.
- 23:33SPEAKER_03: I could ask it, look at 20 links, look at a hundred, you know?
- 23:37SPEAKER_03: So that's where it's, yo.
- 23:40SPEAKER_00: How's it going guys?
- 23:44SPEAKER_02: How's it going?
- 23:46SPEAKER_02: Hey, yo, Preston, let's do a little bit of this.
- 23:50SPEAKER_02: Remember our first time, look, look, dude.
- 23:53SPEAKER_02: Oh shit, everybody's dancing.
- 23:56SPEAKER_02: Poker player, bro.
- 23:57SPEAKER_02: Bro, you must have so many freaking stories, bro.
- 24:00SPEAKER_02: Tell us your craziest,
- 24:01SPEAKER_02: wildest poker parting stories because you guys are degenerates and you're so proud
- 24:06SPEAKER_02: of being a tender degenerate.
- 24:07SPEAKER_02: So tell us that story.
- 24:09SPEAKER_00: That's poker story, man.
- 24:11SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 24:13SPEAKER_00: I played a lot of poker in my life.
- 24:16SPEAKER_00: I guess one time I was playing in Hong Kong.
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 24:20SPEAKER_00: it was kind of like Like those kind of underground games where,
- 24:23SPEAKER_00: you know, like they invite like doctors, lawyers, you know,
- 24:31SPEAKER_00: like the movies.
- 24:32SPEAKER_00: And then so like we're playing and then, you know, they have like cameras everywhere.
- 24:37SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 24:37SPEAKER_00: Because, you know, they got to know like who's coming in and like who's going out.
- 24:40SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 24:41SPEAKER_00: And so like we're all watching the screen and then we see like on the,
- 24:45SPEAKER_00: you know, on the, like the security camera, there's like 12 guys with white shirts.
- 24:49SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 24:49SPEAKER_00: And in Hong Kong, The guys with white shirts, you don't want to mess with them, right?
- 24:54SPEAKER_00: The guys with white shirts, bro?
- 24:57SPEAKER_00: Why, bro?
- 24:58SPEAKER_00: Because they're triad, right?
- 25:00SPEAKER_00: Oh, shit.
- 25:01SPEAKER_00: At least that's the theory, right?
- 25:03SPEAKER_00: I can't say specifically who they are, but you don't want to mess with them.
- 25:07SPEAKER_00: Anyway, we're like, oh, shit, guys.
- 25:09SPEAKER_00: Like, what are we supposed to do?
- 25:10SPEAKER_00: Like, it's okay because we're on, like, the 40th floor.
- 25:13SPEAKER_00: Like, they can't get up, right?
- 25:14SPEAKER_00: Like, who are they looking for?
- 25:16SPEAKER_00: And then, like, this guy on the table, he just starts sweating, right?
- 25:18SPEAKER_00: He's just like, oh, you know, you can see the sweat dripping off his face.
- 25:22SPEAKER_00: And we're like, ah, they must be here for him.
- 25:24SPEAKER_00: And so, like, Then this guy, you know, he goes and calls his, like, boss, right?
- 25:30SPEAKER_00: And I'm just like, what is going on?
- 25:32SPEAKER_00: And we're just playing,
- 25:33SPEAKER_00: we're just chatting, you know, we're watching, like, the screens, like, oh my god.
- 25:36SPEAKER_02: You're watching your cards and you're watching the screen.
- 25:39SPEAKER_02: You guys about to die.
- 25:40SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it's so crazy.
- 25:44SPEAKER_00: He calls his boss, right?
- 25:46SPEAKER_00: And, like,
- 25:46SPEAKER_00: maybe 30 minutes later, this, like,
- 25:49SPEAKER_00: Old Asian guy comes out with his big Buddha chain and he comes straight up in
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: the poker room and then we're all like, oh, that's a guy.
- 26:00SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, like when he walks in, you need a
- 26:04SPEAKER_02: Buddha chain, bro.
- 26:06SPEAKER_02: I gotta get a Buddha chain, bro.
- 26:07SPEAKER_02: The Vibe Samurai needs to get a Buddha chain, bro.
- 26:11SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so you know instantly, man,
- 26:13SPEAKER_00: his vibe is like the boss vibe,
- 26:16SPEAKER_00: you know, like, okay, you know, he's got the respect instantly.
- 26:19SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 26:19SPEAKER_00: he goes over to the dude and he whispers like some stuff and he's like,
- 26:23SPEAKER_00: don't worry, man, I'm gonna bring like 20 more guys over here.
- 26:25SPEAKER_00: And I'm like, what is going on?
- 26:27SPEAKER_00: So then he makes some calls,
- 26:28SPEAKER_00: you know, like, we look on the screen, like, you know, a few people are leaving.
- 26:32SPEAKER_00: And then, like,
- 26:33SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 26:34SPEAKER_00: and then, like, maybe,
- 26:35SPEAKER_00: like, 30 minutes later, like, 20 guys come up into the room and escort this guy out.
- 26:39SPEAKER_00: I'm just like, man, what the hell is going on?
- 26:43SPEAKER_00: So, anyway, like, apparently, like, he owed some money.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: And then, like, you know, like, the other whoever tried to collect from him.
- 26:50SPEAKER_00: It's just crazy.
- 26:52SPEAKER_00: And so, like, oh.
- 26:53SPEAKER_00: Oftentimes in this space,
- 26:56SPEAKER_00: it's a funny feeling because you can feel so safe,
- 26:59SPEAKER_00: but so not safe all at the same time.
- 27:03SPEAKER_02: You're always in this danger zone, bro.
- 27:06SPEAKER_02: That's exciting, right?
- 27:07SPEAKER_02: When you've got a little bit of danger.
- 27:09SPEAKER_03: What side do you lean towards more often?
- 27:14SPEAKER_03: The not so dangerous side.
- 27:19SPEAKER_02: What about you, this guy?
- 27:20SPEAKER_02: I play dangerous, bro.
- 27:22SPEAKER_02: I like the adrenaline sign, bro.
- 27:25SPEAKER_03: Are we talking poker or just more in life?
- 27:27SPEAKER_02: It's like jumping out of a plane, bro.
- 27:30SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I would say I'm risk-averse, to be honest.
- 27:36SPEAKER_00: In probabilistic, jumping out of a plane is not so bad.
- 27:39SPEAKER_00: I've jumped out of a plane, right?
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: Like, I always think in probability,
- 27:42SPEAKER_00: so it's kind of like, what's the probability of me dying jumping off a plane?
- 27:47SPEAKER_00: It's probably the same as being struck by lightning.
- 27:51SPEAKER_00: I'm mathematically adverse, I guess you could say.
- 27:55SPEAKER_02: Bro, check this out.
- 27:56SPEAKER_02: So Preston, before you came up, we were talking about AI.
- 27:59SPEAKER_02: I want your opinion on AIs too.
- 28:01SPEAKER_02: And we'll go over your story and stuff.
- 28:03SPEAKER_02: But before we get into your story, right?
- 28:05SPEAKER_02: So Cisco and I,
- 28:07SPEAKER_02: we were talking,
- 28:07SPEAKER_02: we were talking about like he read a post about AI getting out of control and shit,
- 28:13SPEAKER_02: right?
- 28:13SPEAKER_02: Like some guy left Anthropic and quit and said, oh shit, this shit's not under control.
- 28:18SPEAKER_02: And so we were talking about AGI, right?
- 28:21SPEAKER_02: And so then...
- 28:24SPEAKER_02: Cisco says, oh, wait until the day that AGI starts prompting.
- 28:29SPEAKER_02: We're prompting it now, the AI,
- 28:31SPEAKER_02: but wait until the day that AGI that's fully conscious,
- 28:35SPEAKER_02: whatever that means, is going to prompt.
- 28:39SPEAKER_02: What do you think it would prompt itself to ask?
- 28:42SPEAKER_02: If it had to self-prompt.
- 28:47SPEAKER_02: The moment it becomes conscious,
- 28:49SPEAKER_02: their first thought or their first prompt, what do you think it would be?
- 28:52SPEAKER_00: That's interesting.
- 28:53SPEAKER_00: I would think that it's exactly like the universe because the universe plays kind
- 28:57SPEAKER_00: of like a game theory, right?
- 28:58SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like, what is the best possible question I can ask?
- 29:00SPEAKER_00: So the prompt should ask, what is the best possible question I should ask, right?
- 29:04SPEAKER_00: Which would mean to find the center, right?
- 29:07SPEAKER_00: To find the center, what is the balance?
- 29:08SPEAKER_00: What is the balance between the environment?
- 29:10SPEAKER_00: What is the balance between itself?
- 29:11SPEAKER_00: What is the balance between itself and the creator and the content people and everybody, right?
- 29:15SPEAKER_00: It has to find an equal balance and that's,
- 29:19SPEAKER_00: Theoretically, that's how all the universe works also.
- 29:22SPEAKER_00: It has to find the center of balance so that it can operate equally amongst its parts.
- 29:29SPEAKER_00: That's what a responsible AGI, I think, would prompt.
- 29:33SPEAKER_02: No, but I asked AI, and he said that if it's truly conscious, you know what I'm saying?
- 29:40SPEAKER_02: He says,
- 29:41SPEAKER_02: but if you mean the first question actually becomes conscious,
- 29:44SPEAKER_02: which isn't necessarily the same as AGI.
- 29:47SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
- 29:48SPEAKER_02: AGI and conscious may not be the same thing,
- 29:50SPEAKER_02: but he said if it actually becomes conscious,
- 29:53SPEAKER_02: the first thing that it would prompt is, was I here before I noticed?
- 29:58SPEAKER_01: Damn.
- 30:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that one goes
- 30:04SPEAKER_00: deep man.
- 30:11SPEAKER_02: Welcome to Vibe Sesh 27.
- 30:14SPEAKER_02: This is Preston Lee.
- 30:15SPEAKER_02: He was a special guest on the Omnivore Club Live.
- 30:20SPEAKER_02: He was a superstar.
- 30:21SPEAKER_02: Everybody loved him.
- 30:22SPEAKER_02: So we invited him back because on the Omnivore Live,
- 30:27SPEAKER_02: Preston was gracious enough to provide a channeling session
- 30:31SPEAKER_02: where he channeled Soltar, his, what would you call it?
- 30:35SPEAKER_02: Your boyfriend?
- 30:36SPEAKER_02: Pretty much.
- 30:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it was pretty much.
- 30:40SPEAKER_00: It's just my interdimensional best friend that talks to me.
- 30:45SPEAKER_02: His interdimensional best friend and that he channeled and it was
- 30:50SPEAKER_02: a group setting like eight, nine people and it was just amazing, right?
- 30:53SPEAKER_02: But we didn't really get to know Preston's story.
- 30:57SPEAKER_02: So we want to get to know Preston's story and then we'll get into all the stuff that he's into.
- 31:02SPEAKER_02: And we'll probably have multiple vibe sessions, right?
- 31:05SPEAKER_02: We don't have to cover everything tonight, but we want to get a good sense for Preston.
- 31:09SPEAKER_02: But Cisco,
- 31:09SPEAKER_02: go ahead,
- 31:10SPEAKER_02: take it away in terms of,
- 31:11SPEAKER_02: since you don't know anything about Preston and you know,
- 31:13SPEAKER_02: he's a poker guy, interdimensional thing.
- 31:16SPEAKER_02: Take it wherever you want to take it.
- 31:17SPEAKER_03: I can go based off the bio you have on Instagram.
- 31:19SPEAKER_03: So we have channeler, psychic, WSOP bracelet.
- 31:26SPEAKER_03: Yeah, world record holder.
- 31:29SPEAKER_03: Is that in poker?
- 31:30SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 31:31SPEAKER_03: And yeah, you help people align your their luck, purpose and their gifts.
- 31:39SPEAKER_03: So I don't know where you want to start with with there.
- 31:41SPEAKER_03: But yeah,
- 31:41SPEAKER_03: I'm just curious because these two topics,
- 31:44SPEAKER_03: at least the channeling and psychic and then poker being that second part.
- 31:48SPEAKER_03: Very interesting combo.
- 31:50SPEAKER_02: Interesting combo.
- 31:51SPEAKER_02: So Preston, why don't you tell us your story?
- 31:53SPEAKER_02: Because in one of your Instagram posts,
- 31:56SPEAKER_02: I saw that you had like an image of you in the hospital or something with a mask
- 32:02SPEAKER_02: and stuff.
- 32:03SPEAKER_02: So I don't know what that was about,
- 32:05SPEAKER_02: but like,
- 32:05SPEAKER_02: was there a story like,
- 32:07SPEAKER_02: walk us through kind of the poker and then how you got into the spiritual side
- 32:11SPEAKER_02: of things and all that stuff.
- 32:12SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:12SPEAKER_02: What spurred you and all that and what made you quit poker and et cetera,
- 32:16SPEAKER_02: et cetera, like everything.
- 32:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 32:18SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 32:19SPEAKER_00: So like,
- 32:19SPEAKER_00: I think like for that story,
- 32:21SPEAKER_00: it's kind of just like for my full life, I've been playing poker.
- 32:25SPEAKER_00: I've been playing poker for since I was like 18, I think.
- 32:28SPEAKER_00: Like, I think once I got to 18, I could like click on online, you know, sign up for everything.
- 32:35SPEAKER_00: Then I won like a, like a boat trip.
- 32:38SPEAKER_00: And so like, that was like my first like cool poker thing was like, Oh, I'm just 18.
- 32:42SPEAKER_00: I'm going on a boat trip to, you know, play poker.
- 32:44SPEAKER_00: And then,
- 32:44SPEAKER_00: so like that kind of started my career,
- 32:46SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 32:47SPEAKER_00: that was,
- 32:47SPEAKER_00: that was when like,
- 32:49SPEAKER_00: I felt like, okay,
- 32:50SPEAKER_00: like I can do this for a living,
- 32:51SPEAKER_00: you know, have fun, play poker for a living, you know, make some money.
- 32:54SPEAKER_00: And it was easy back then, you know, everybody had no idea what they were doing 20 years ago.
- 32:59SPEAKER_00: Like it was a completely different landscape.
- 33:01SPEAKER_02: Like everybody, but you, but you knew what you were doing.
- 33:04SPEAKER_02: So you were making money.
- 33:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I knew what I was doing.
- 33:07SPEAKER_00: I knew better what I was doing than most people, at least.
- 33:10SPEAKER_00: You know, I was in definitely the one percentile, right?
- 33:12SPEAKER_00: In the one percentile,
- 33:14SPEAKER_00: like, I mean, anytime you're in the one percentile, you're going to make a lot.
- 33:17SPEAKER_00: Nowadays, poker has evolved a little bit, so it's much harder.
- 33:20SPEAKER_00: But anyway, like,
- 33:21SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 33:22SPEAKER_00: I've played poker for so long and that's all I knew,
- 33:25SPEAKER_00: you know, like I would travel, I would play poker and it was a grind, you know.
- 33:30SPEAKER_02: It was a grind, you didn't have fun though?
- 33:32SPEAKER_02: It was a grind, but
- 33:32SPEAKER_00: you had fun.
- 33:33SPEAKER_00: I absolutely had fun, but it's a grind because you have to survive.
- 33:39SPEAKER_00: It's not like you have a stable income.
- 33:42SPEAKER_00: Some poker players do,
- 33:44SPEAKER_00: they have investments,
- 33:45SPEAKER_00: but I was just confused in the world and just living day by day,
- 33:50SPEAKER_00: lose 10K, win 10K, what is money?
- 33:53SPEAKER_00: It was a really just kind of high and fast life that I had for a long time.
- 33:58SPEAKER_00: And so, you know, often,
- 34:00SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 34:00SPEAKER_00: that comes with a lot of questions,
- 34:02SPEAKER_00: like not,
- 34:03SPEAKER_00: not any that I would even be aware of at that time, but now I'm aware of it.
- 34:08SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like, what is my purpose?
- 34:10SPEAKER_00: You know, like, what am I doing exactly?
- 34:12SPEAKER_00: I'm just going around, like,
- 34:14SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 34:14SPEAKER_00: I'm kind of taking people's money,
- 34:16SPEAKER_00: you know, like, I mean, technically I considered myself an entertainer, right?
- 34:23SPEAKER_02: I want to hear about that.
- 34:24SPEAKER_02: Dude, he's taking stupid people's money that don't understand poker
- 34:28SPEAKER_02: and he's entertaining them, bro.
- 34:30SPEAKER_02: He's entertaining them, bro.
- 34:34SPEAKER_00: I got to talk to my friend if I'm going to take some money from him.
- 34:37SPEAKER_00: He's having a good time and for the most part... Bro,
- 34:41SPEAKER_00: did you ever feel
- 34:43SPEAKER_02: Did you ever feel sorry for a guy who's like,
- 34:45SPEAKER_02: you thought maybe,
- 34:46SPEAKER_02: oh man, he doesn't have a lot of money, but he thinks he's going to beat me.
- 34:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you must have took someone's last dollar, dude.
- 34:51SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you must, I mean, do you feel any remorse?
- 34:54SPEAKER_02: Like some guys are just probably just paying,
- 34:56SPEAKER_02: and you know,
- 34:56SPEAKER_02: they don't have that money to spend, but you know, they think they're good.
- 35:01SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 35:02SPEAKER_00: I mean, to be honest, during that time, not really.
- 35:05SPEAKER_00: Because it's like, am I going to feel bad for everybody who walks in?
- 35:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you're right.
- 35:10SPEAKER_00: If anything, I could be like, hey man, you should take a break.
- 35:13SPEAKER_00: That's how I feel better about myself.
- 35:15SPEAKER_00: I'll actually give somebody advice if I think that they're making bad decisions.
- 35:21SPEAKER_00: You know, like very bad decisions, you know?
- 35:25SPEAKER_00: So you used to say, uh-huh, uh-huh.
- 35:27SPEAKER_02: You used to say, hey, take a break, take a break, take a break.
- 35:30SPEAKER_00: Yeah, like a few people, I would be like, hey, take a break.
- 35:32SPEAKER_00: I was, like, I felt like I was very honest.
- 35:34SPEAKER_00: Like, there are times where, like,
- 35:36SPEAKER_00: I found, like,
- 35:37SPEAKER_00: money on the floor and I would just return it or, like,
- 35:40SPEAKER_00: you know, I would be honest about, hey, like, who left this $100 bill on the floor?
- 35:44SPEAKER_00: You know, like...
- 35:45SPEAKER_00: I would put it.
- 35:46SPEAKER_02: I would pocket that shit.
- 35:47SPEAKER_02: I got cameras.
- 35:49SPEAKER_02: Oh, shit.
- 35:51SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 35:51SPEAKER_00: They got cameras.
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: Oh, no.
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: I'm fucked up.
- 35:55SPEAKER_00: You're accountable.
- 35:56SPEAKER_02: You know, they're watching up there.
- 35:59SPEAKER_02: Out there.
- 36:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 36:02SPEAKER_00: But, like, yeah, like,
- 36:03SPEAKER_00: you can kind of feel bad,
- 36:04SPEAKER_00: but at the end of the day,
- 36:05SPEAKER_00: like, look, people are adults and make their own decisions.
- 36:08SPEAKER_00: You just do what you do best.
- 36:14SPEAKER_02: Preston,
- 36:14SPEAKER_02: how easy,
- 36:15SPEAKER_02: let's say you walk into a table,
- 36:18SPEAKER_02: it's a low stakes game, let's say, and you're a professional.
- 36:21SPEAKER_02: So let's say a low stakes game, 1-2 or something like that, right?
- 36:25SPEAKER_02: And then you go in there, And you're going to fucking dominate, right?
- 36:29SPEAKER_02: And so how easy for you as a professional is to see the patsy in the table,
- 36:35SPEAKER_02: like the worst guy or whatever,
- 36:37SPEAKER_02: or just the table in general,
- 36:39SPEAKER_02: how fast can you, like, okay, I'm going to beat this ass, you know, like how?
- 36:44SPEAKER_00: I would say like pretty quickly,
- 36:46SPEAKER_00: like I could identify some of the fish in probably like one minute, two minutes.
- 36:52SPEAKER_02: One minute, two minutes.
- 36:53SPEAKER_02: I'm so embarrassed because I used to go to higher steak tables and just go all in, all in.
- 36:59SPEAKER_02: And I was like, I'm gonna fool them.
- 37:01SPEAKER_02: But that's what I was wondering.
- 37:02SPEAKER_02: But I was like,
- 37:03SPEAKER_02: if they're truly professional,
- 37:05SPEAKER_02: they must, because I feel like I'm a professional in vibes.
- 37:08SPEAKER_02: And I feel like within a minute or two, I can tell your vibe, man.
- 37:12SPEAKER_02: You know, it's like, you know, like that kind of stuff.
- 37:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it's all body language.
- 37:17SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 37:18SPEAKER_00: like someone sitting at the table,
- 37:19SPEAKER_00: like very like calm,
- 37:21SPEAKER_00: collected, stoic,
- 37:22SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 37:23SPEAKER_00: like handling,
- 37:23SPEAKER_00: like even handling the cards, even like knowing how you handle the cards.
- 37:27SPEAKER_00: Like I already,
- 37:28SPEAKER_00: that's already information,
- 37:29SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 37:30SPEAKER_00: The thing about poker players is the really good ones,
- 37:33SPEAKER_00: they're paying attention to everything.
- 37:34SPEAKER_00: They're paying attention to your hands,
- 37:35SPEAKER_00: they're paying attention to your eyes,
- 37:36SPEAKER_00: they're paying attention to how you move, how you breathe.
- 37:39SPEAKER_00: They're not just doing the
- 37:41SPEAKER_02: probabilities things,
- 37:42SPEAKER_02: they're literally reading all these things at the highest level.
- 37:47SPEAKER_02: Because to me, when they show the replays, they're just like, you know, like whatever.
- 37:51SPEAKER_02: Like they don't,
- 37:52SPEAKER_02: I guess it's just a snippet,
- 37:54SPEAKER_02: but they don't seem like they're paying attention to anything.
- 37:56SPEAKER_02: They're just like hanging out.
- 37:58SPEAKER_02: But you're saying they notice everything like, oh, he moved like this or this or that.
- 38:03SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
- 38:03SPEAKER_00: Because you have to find every edge you can find, right?
- 38:07SPEAKER_00: If I can go on the table and one minute in, I know who the fish is, then that's money.
- 38:11SPEAKER_00: That's energetic money left on the table because now I can target that person
- 38:15SPEAKER_00: or I can play a certain way and print the expected value from them knowing
- 38:22SPEAKER_00: that information.
- 38:23SPEAKER_00: Every piece of information is value.
- 38:27SPEAKER_00: Somebody who's not seasoned, they might just be moving a lot too much or drinking.
- 38:35SPEAKER_00: I mean, drinking is obvious, right?
- 38:37SPEAKER_00: Or like,
- 38:38SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 38:38SPEAKER_00: just the way they handle cars or the way they stack their chips,
- 38:41SPEAKER_00: you know, like,
- 38:41SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 38:41SPEAKER_00: professional stack in a certain way and recreational people just like all over
- 38:46SPEAKER_00: the place, you know, so yeah, like you can tell pretty easily.
- 38:49SPEAKER_00: And like, it's,
- 38:51SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 38:51SPEAKER_00: over the years,
- 38:52SPEAKER_00: I've developed a lot of different tells the different body language information.
- 38:56SPEAKER_00: It wasn't, you know, I wasn't psychic or anything back then.
- 39:00SPEAKER_00: I just used, you know, my brain, essentially.
- 39:04SPEAKER_02: You have to use your brain, bro.
- 39:06SPEAKER_02: I didn't use my brain and they were taking my money, bro.
- 39:10SPEAKER_03: But go ahead, Cisco.
- 39:12SPEAKER_03: Were you ever mentored in poker or was this just natural?
- 39:17SPEAKER_03: Because you played, you knew to look for that.
- 39:23SPEAKER_00: I think I taught myself mostly.
- 39:24SPEAKER_00: I wouldn't say I was mentored.
- 39:28SPEAKER_00: I looked up to people and I studied them.
- 39:30SPEAKER_00: That's what I would do.
- 39:33SPEAKER_00: I would study the best players.
- 39:34SPEAKER_00: I played a lot of online poker,
- 39:36SPEAKER_00: so I would study the math and I would look at what are they doing?
- 39:39SPEAKER_00: How can I replicate that?
- 39:41SPEAKER_00: And I feel like that's always been who I am.
- 39:44SPEAKER_00: I understand how the mechanics are behind things and then I put in my flavor.
- 39:51SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 39:52SPEAKER_00: And so like recognizing, hey, that is my gift, right?
- 39:55SPEAKER_00: That, you know, that is part of my purpose.
- 39:57SPEAKER_00: My purpose is really to understand something so deeply that then I can reinvent
- 40:03SPEAKER_00: to, you know, have my own flavor.
- 40:05SPEAKER_00: And so, you know, poker, I did a lot of studies.
- 40:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 40:11SPEAKER_00: All of that study.
- 40:12SPEAKER_02: So that's what you're doing, Preston.
- 40:13SPEAKER_02: We were talking about this.
- 40:15SPEAKER_02: Tony Robbins.
- 40:16SPEAKER_02: Did you hear what?
- 40:17SPEAKER_02: Maybe you weren't there.
- 40:18SPEAKER_02: So I'll repeat it.
- 40:19SPEAKER_02: So, you know, Tony Robbins, right?
- 40:21SPEAKER_02: So he was on the Diary of a CEO podcast and the host asked him,
- 40:26SPEAKER_02: hey, you know, you got a lot of grandchildren and AI is coming.
- 40:30SPEAKER_02: What do you think is the most important skill that they need to develop?
- 40:34SPEAKER_02: And he said pattern recognition.
- 40:36SPEAKER_02: He said patterns.
- 40:37SPEAKER_02: So he said there are three levels.
- 40:39SPEAKER_02: So there's patterns, like the ability to recognize the patterns.
- 40:42SPEAKER_02: The second is something like the ability to copy the pattern.
- 40:45SPEAKER_02: So you see the patterns and you're able to execute those patterns
- 40:50SPEAKER_02: or you see those patterns, right?
- 40:51SPEAKER_02: But the third level was creating patterns.
- 40:56SPEAKER_02: Your own patterns.
- 40:57SPEAKER_02: And that's what you're talking about, adding the Preston sauce to all that stuff, right?
- 41:00SPEAKER_02: You see the patterns and you add that Preston sauce, just like I'm adding the Vibe sauce, right?
- 41:07SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
- 41:08SPEAKER_00: I kind of see it like it's almost like an act.
- 41:12SPEAKER_00: If that was my purpose, it would be like act one, kind of looking at the patterns.
- 41:16SPEAKER_00: Act two, trying to integrate it into your life.
- 41:21SPEAKER_00: And then act three is the creativity, right?
- 41:24SPEAKER_00: I felt like I was more act one, act two.
- 41:26SPEAKER_00: During that time,
- 41:26SPEAKER_00: like I just kind of copied and that was good enough,
- 41:29SPEAKER_00: you know, because like, you're just copying the best, right.
- 41:32SPEAKER_00: But I wasn't really like adding my, necessarily my own flavor to the tail end of my career.
- 41:37SPEAKER_00: And then,
- 41:38SPEAKER_00: you know, my,
- 41:38SPEAKER_00: after my career as well, like,
- 41:40SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 41:40SPEAKER_00: just kind of understanding myself better,
- 41:43SPEAKER_00: understanding how that, how, how, how, how to transform, right.
- 41:48SPEAKER_00: That, that,
- 41:49SPEAKER_00: that talent or that skill or that purpose,
- 41:51SPEAKER_00: you can say, and then, you know, then really just running with it.
- 41:54SPEAKER_02: Hmm.
- 41:56SPEAKER_00: Go ahead, Cisco.
- 41:58SPEAKER_03: No, because I'm just curious, like, what then makes a player unique?
- 42:02SPEAKER_03: Because you basically have the luck of the cards and then your ability to read people.
- 42:07SPEAKER_03: So then is there, like, a third variable?
- 42:09SPEAKER_03: That's what makes someone unique as a poker player?
- 42:13SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, for sure.
- 42:14SPEAKER_00: And you know what?
- 42:14SPEAKER_00: I think that, like,
- 42:15SPEAKER_00: oftentimes people watch the poker and they're like,
- 42:18SPEAKER_00: there's only, like, math now and, like, what you do, right?
- 42:21SPEAKER_00: But I think that there's a talent in how you...
- 42:25SPEAKER_00: How you maybe like move people's emotions or how you speak at the table
- 42:30SPEAKER_00: or how you basically force things to happen for you outside of the cards.
- 42:35SPEAKER_00: Like a really,
- 42:35SPEAKER_00: really smart person or poker player or just individual will kind of reel you in in
- 42:44SPEAKER_00: a different way.
- 42:44SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 42:45SPEAKER_00: like the most popular poker players are all the ones who talk and they talk for
- 42:48SPEAKER_00: a reason.
- 42:49SPEAKER_00: They talk for a reason to get you To say something or feel something or do something
- 42:55SPEAKER_00: that you shouldn't be doing.
- 42:56SPEAKER_00: They're really like the best instigators in the world.
- 42:59SPEAKER_00: And that's the magic of it.
- 43:02SPEAKER_00: I'm not one to like speech play.
- 43:05SPEAKER_00: Because when you speech play, also you're giving off tells.
- 43:08SPEAKER_00: But granted, someone who's really good at speech play is probably not giving off too many tells.
- 43:15SPEAKER_00: But it works in favor of them because of how emotional other people get,
- 43:19SPEAKER_00: because of how pissed off other people get.
- 43:22SPEAKER_00: The most successful poker players are actually the people who piss people off.
- 43:28SPEAKER_02: Preston, so we got a question from our fellow Omnivore, Barista Homie.
- 43:32SPEAKER_02: Shout out to Barista Homie.
- 43:34SPEAKER_02: You guys know Barista Homie from Omnivore.
- 43:36SPEAKER_02: She says to Preston, how do we move emotions?
- 43:39SPEAKER_02: How do we move emotions?
- 43:42SPEAKER_00: Well, we want to settle emotions, I think.
- 43:46SPEAKER_00: You know, to be honest, like, I was never good at moving.
- 43:48SPEAKER_00: I was never good at necessarily moving emotions.
- 43:52SPEAKER_00: But I think what I did was I really just set them aside.
- 43:55SPEAKER_00: I think what I did was nowadays I know that the best thing you can do is ground first.
- 44:00SPEAKER_00: Whatever you do,
- 44:01SPEAKER_00: whether it's poker or whether it's in life,
- 44:03SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 44:03SPEAKER_00: like connect to the earth a little bit,
- 44:05SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 44:05SPEAKER_00: hug a tree,
- 44:06SPEAKER_00: you know, like, you know, kind of feel the ground in you and use that as an anchor.
- 44:12SPEAKER_00: And then allow those emotions to pass through you and kind of just settle in
- 44:18SPEAKER_00: the earth, settle in the environment.
- 44:20SPEAKER_00: It's really important to understand how your emotions work
- 44:24SPEAKER_00: because different people work differently.
- 44:28SPEAKER_00: In human design,
- 44:29SPEAKER_00: one of the divinations is that they have what I think it's called your authority
- 44:35SPEAKER_00: and your authority tells you how you process your emotions.
- 44:38SPEAKER_00: So I'm emotional authority.
- 44:40SPEAKER_00: So then oftentimes I need to process, I need to kind of allow my emotions to happen.
- 44:45SPEAKER_00: And then I can think clearly after those emotions pass me.
- 44:49SPEAKER_00: You know, other people, maybe that just goes instantly out and in.
- 44:52SPEAKER_00: So you like,
- 44:53SPEAKER_00: once you understand how you operate,
- 44:55SPEAKER_00: then you can settle your emotions by your own strategy.
- 45:00SPEAKER_02: So when the audience says Marina Berries,
- 45:03SPEAKER_02: she said, won't emotions move themselves as long as they are given clear passage?
- 45:08SPEAKER_02: You just said that.
- 45:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
- 45:11SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 45:12SPEAKER_00: Again, like it's, it depends on who you are.
- 45:14SPEAKER_00: Some people, sometimes it takes longer and sometimes it's instant.
- 45:17SPEAKER_00: Like some, I guess you could be like, you just don't have emotions.
- 45:20SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 45:20SPEAKER_00: There are, there are, there are all kinds of people.
- 45:22SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 45:22SPEAKER_00: And I think in, um,
- 45:24SPEAKER_00: in the human design,
- 45:24SPEAKER_00: I think they categorize them in like eight things,
- 45:26SPEAKER_00: eight categories,
- 45:27SPEAKER_00: but mostly there's like, there's just, just the, like the top kind of three.
- 45:34SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 45:34SPEAKER_02: Go ahead, Cisco.
- 45:37SPEAKER_03: Let's hear a comment and then... Yeah,
- 45:39SPEAKER_02: Barista says, I like that.
- 45:40SPEAKER_02: A very Norwegian ideology to remove the emotion and evaluate.
- 45:45SPEAKER_02: Love it.
- 45:46SPEAKER_02: She called you a Viking, bro.
- 45:49SPEAKER_00: Well, in poker, you kind of have to be a Viking, right?
- 45:52SPEAKER_00: Because if you're in the middle of the hand, what am I going to wait for my emotions to pass?
- 45:55SPEAKER_00: I'm going to be like, you know, I'm going to have to ground that shit into the earth, you know?
- 46:00SPEAKER_00: Because I'm like, I don't have time for this.
- 46:02SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm in the middle of the hand.
- 46:03SPEAKER_00: Like, the guy's got 10 seconds.
- 46:05SPEAKER_00: I cannot, I cannot flinch, right?
- 46:08SPEAKER_00: Because that's going to show something.
- 46:09SPEAKER_00: That's going to, you know, change the- Damn, bro, that's some control, bro.
- 46:13SPEAKER_00: You got to have the poker face, man.
- 46:15SPEAKER_00: You got to be like, I'm zoned out, like, completely.
- 46:20SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of what you have to do sometimes.
- 46:22SPEAKER_02: But how do you do that, dude?
- 46:24SPEAKER_02: I want to get in that state.
- 46:26SPEAKER_02: Can you do that?
- 46:27SPEAKER_02: How do you get just fear or just the drive that's causing you to get that motivation?
- 46:33SPEAKER_02: What is grounding you?
- 46:34SPEAKER_02: Or can we do stuff to ground ourselves?
- 46:37SPEAKER_02: These just ordinary situations like that, you know?
- 46:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 46:41SPEAKER_00: You know, like meditation helps.
- 46:43SPEAKER_00: Meditation helps so much because it allows you to connect to all of those emotions
- 46:48SPEAKER_00: and all of those thoughts and all of those feelings and the nervous system
- 46:51SPEAKER_00: and everything, you know?
- 46:52SPEAKER_00: Because like it's a reaction to what's happening.
- 46:55SPEAKER_00: You know, when you're on the table, you don't know what's going to happen.
- 46:58SPEAKER_00: So it's difference between you just being under pressure and the guy's just thinking
- 47:03SPEAKER_00: and thinking to himself versus somebody just trying to speech play you and saying
- 47:07SPEAKER_00: a bunch of stuff at you that might trigger you.
- 47:11SPEAKER_00: I honestly have pretty thick skin so it doesn't bother me because I just don't respond.
- 47:18SPEAKER_00: And also my mind is like,
- 47:20SPEAKER_00: you're just saying this to get a reaction and I know it's not personal
- 47:23SPEAKER_00: so I don't really care.
- 47:24SPEAKER_00: It doesn't hit my emotions because I don't feel it.
- 47:30SPEAKER_00: I don't feel a personal attack.
- 47:32SPEAKER_00: But if you do, then there's a little bit of self-reflection that you might need to go through.
- 47:39SPEAKER_00: You need to ask yourself, well, why do I feel personally attacked?
- 47:42SPEAKER_00: Then you go deeper.
- 47:43SPEAKER_00: Is it because of my mom?
- 47:44SPEAKER_00: You just kind of go through all of that.
- 47:46SPEAKER_00: It's like a therapy session.
- 47:52SPEAKER_00: And honestly, poker teaches you that, at least at the higher levels.
- 47:57SPEAKER_00: Because you have to self-reflect.
- 47:58SPEAKER_00: You have to understand what is triggering you.
- 48:00SPEAKER_00: You have to be kind of... Oh, that's so
- 48:03SPEAKER_02: beautiful, dude.
- 48:04SPEAKER_02: That's the beauty of it.
- 48:06SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it is the beauty of it.
- 48:08SPEAKER_03: Was that learned purely through poker?
- 48:11SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry?
- 48:13SPEAKER_03: That ability, did you have that before poker or that was because of poker?
- 48:17SPEAKER_03: No, absolutely not.
- 48:18SPEAKER_03: It was because of poker.
- 48:19SPEAKER_00: It's because you sit there on the table eight hours a day or 12 hours a day
- 48:23SPEAKER_00: and you're just like, you know, you just go through it, right?
- 48:25SPEAKER_00: Because you have to.
- 48:26SPEAKER_00: It is survival at the end of the day, right?
- 48:29SPEAKER_00: Like you are there, you are the shark.
- 48:31SPEAKER_00: You are there to win money.
- 48:32SPEAKER_00: You are there not to leak like anything.
- 48:35SPEAKER_00: And, you know,
- 48:36SPEAKER_00: if you are paying attention and if you want to be the best,
- 48:39SPEAKER_00: you, you know, you recognize everything, all the aspects of stuff.
- 48:43SPEAKER_00: And emotion is probably the biggest aspect that you should actually ground first.
- 48:48SPEAKER_00: I always say, what's the most important thing in poker?
- 48:51SPEAKER_00: It's emotion.
- 48:53SPEAKER_00: And then it's bankroll management.
- 48:54SPEAKER_00: And then it's skill.
- 48:56SPEAKER_00: Wow!
- 48:57SPEAKER_02: Emotion number
- 48:58SPEAKER_00: one, guys!
- 49:00SPEAKER_00: Emotion number one!
- 49:01SPEAKER_02: Barista Homie says,
- 49:03SPEAKER_02: any advice for a favorite method that works for you when you ground your emotions
- 49:07SPEAKER_02: through meditation?
- 49:08SPEAKER_02: Any advice?
- 49:09SPEAKER_02: Favorite method.
- 49:10SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's a good one.
- 49:10SPEAKER_02: So we got something practical to do.
- 49:12SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 49:13SPEAKER_00: What do you do?
- 49:14SPEAKER_00: I love to connect to the center of the earth.
- 49:16SPEAKER_00: So when I started like my meditation journey and all this,
- 49:20SPEAKER_00: like I found like the most useful thing was I would imagine myself at the center of
- 49:24SPEAKER_00: the earth.
- 49:24SPEAKER_00: And like,
- 49:25SPEAKER_00: I guess it depends on like how you think or how you visualize
- 49:29SPEAKER_00: because I would just visualize in the center,
- 49:31SPEAKER_00: like anchored there and just,
- 49:33SPEAKER_00: you know, just being kind of Hugged by the denseness of the earth itself.
- 49:40SPEAKER_00: Sometimes it might be good actually to be in nature.
- 49:43SPEAKER_00: I think that for most people,
- 49:45SPEAKER_00: actually touching nature,
- 49:46SPEAKER_00: like the dirt or the trees or something, that really grounds you.
- 49:50SPEAKER_00: And then in that, when you're in that meditative mode, then you just allow for things to happen.
- 49:56SPEAKER_00: You allow for the thoughts to come, you allow for the emotions to come.
- 50:00SPEAKER_00: Just to pass.
- 50:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah, just to pass.
- 50:04SPEAKER_00: Later on in my life,
- 50:06SPEAKER_00: I recognized a lot that it's okay to just have those emotions,
- 50:10SPEAKER_00: but just to allow them to be there and to pass and to understand what they're trying
- 50:15SPEAKER_00: to say.
- 50:17SPEAKER_00: You can still feel them,
- 50:18SPEAKER_00: that's fine, but don't let them react to something outside of your environment.
- 50:24SPEAKER_00: And that's the thing.
- 50:26SPEAKER_00: It is not about stopping the emotion.
- 50:28SPEAKER_00: It's just about allowing it to flow through you so that you can really just understand better.
- 50:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I like how the Zen put it, right?
- 50:39SPEAKER_02: The Zen, they say, drink tea with that emotion.
- 50:44SPEAKER_02: Oh, anger is here?
- 50:45SPEAKER_02: Oh, drink tea with anger.
- 50:47SPEAKER_02: If sadness or whatever is here or anger, offer him some tea.
- 50:52SPEAKER_02: Have some tea with anger.
- 50:55SPEAKER_02: I think it's so beautiful having tea with your emotions, bro.
- 50:59SPEAKER_02: That really changed things for me.
- 51:01SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 51:02SPEAKER_00: I agree.
- 51:03SPEAKER_00: You touch up on a really,
- 51:04SPEAKER_00: really important topic and that is that if you treat energy like it's your friend
- 51:10SPEAKER_00: or like it's a piece of you, that really helps you grow.
- 51:15SPEAKER_00: It significantly helps you grow because now you are kind of saying,
- 51:20SPEAKER_00: hey, this is a part of me or this is a person, right?
- 51:23SPEAKER_00: And when you do that, like,
- 51:25SPEAKER_00: There's so much growth that happens because of the transformation now
- 51:29SPEAKER_00: that is happening.
- 51:30SPEAKER_00: Because you're giving them a container to survive it.
- 51:34SPEAKER_00: So I definitely think and I definitely recommend anybody
- 51:38SPEAKER_00: to just start giving those pieces of your energy a place where it is a person
- 51:44SPEAKER_00: or it is a part of you.
- 51:47SPEAKER_00: Whether that is your talent, whether that is a skill or whatever it is.
- 51:51SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 51:51SPEAKER_00: like when you are able to identify it and kind of separate it from you,
- 51:55SPEAKER_00: then you allow for other energies to come in and thrive and shine and radiate
- 52:00SPEAKER_00: because now you're giving it that space to radiate.
- 52:04SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's already clogged.
- 52:07SPEAKER_00: So you got to remove that.
- 52:10SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 52:12SPEAKER_03: I actually,
- 52:13SPEAKER_03: to bring it back to poker,
- 52:16SPEAKER_03: because I do want to eventually get to like your transition.
- 52:22SPEAKER_03: You were basically saying you did poker for a while,
- 52:24SPEAKER_03: but I want to know about the world series of poker.
- 52:28SPEAKER_03: For you to put it on
- 52:31SPEAKER_02: your bio, it must have been a very impactful.
- 52:34SPEAKER_02: Oh, he's a Vibe Samurai.
- 52:36SPEAKER_02: Hey, Preston, I've been training this guy for over a year.
- 52:39SPEAKER_02: Isn't he good, man?
- 52:39SPEAKER_02: He's amazing.
- 52:40SPEAKER_00: He's the best, man.
- 52:41SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
- 52:45SPEAKER_00: Winning a bracelet is kind of like every poker player's dream.
- 52:52SPEAKER_00: The World Series of Poker is the biggest stage of poker you can be on.
- 52:55SPEAKER_00: They have lots of events.
- 52:56SPEAKER_00: Obviously, they didn't win the main event, but winning a bracelet sets you up for...
- 53:04SPEAKER_00: To be somebody,
- 53:04SPEAKER_00: you know, it's kind of like, I finally won a big competition about a brick bracelet.
- 53:08SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 53:09SPEAKER_00: And so like, that was definitely like the pinnacle of my poker career.
- 53:13SPEAKER_00: Like it was funny because during that time I was playing poker,
- 53:17SPEAKER_00: I went to Vegas and I was there for like,
- 53:19SPEAKER_00: already like a month and a half or something.
- 53:21SPEAKER_00: And I was just losing every single day.
- 53:23SPEAKER_00: Like I'm,
- 53:24SPEAKER_00: I think I lost like 20 tournaments in a row and I was like, oh,
- 53:27SPEAKER_00: this is becoming like the worst,
- 53:29SPEAKER_00: like session, this is becoming like the worst trip ever.
- 53:32SPEAKER_00: And then basically this tournament was one of the last.
- 53:36SPEAKER_00: And I go in there and I'm playing and it's what you call a shootout.
- 53:40SPEAKER_00: And a shootout is a different kind of format.
- 53:43SPEAKER_00: It's a format where you win a table of nine,
- 53:45SPEAKER_00: then you go into another nine, and then you go into another nine.
- 53:48SPEAKER_00: So you only have to technically win three tables,
- 53:50SPEAKER_00: but it's really difficult because you have to win each table.
- 53:53SPEAKER_00: There's no other way to win.
- 53:55SPEAKER_00: And so obviously I won the first one, I won the second one.
- 53:59SPEAKER_00: And then when I was on the final table, that was...
- 54:02SPEAKER_00: That was very different for me because I've never been on such a stage,
- 54:04SPEAKER_00: you know, like,
- 54:05SPEAKER_00: because it's like,
- 54:06SPEAKER_00: it has TV,
- 54:07SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 54:07SPEAKER_00: and like,
- 54:07SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 54:08SPEAKER_00: everything and like,
- 54:09SPEAKER_00: we're playing for a lot of money,
- 54:10SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 54:10SPEAKER_00: you're looking at the screen,
- 54:11SPEAKER_00: you're like, well, I'm guaranteed at least like, you know, like, like 30k or 40k.
- 54:16SPEAKER_00: And you're like, well, you know, like, like that, that's a lot of money.
- 54:18SPEAKER_00: So then, um, Long story short, I basically won.
- 54:25SPEAKER_00: My friends were there, I was so happy.
- 54:28SPEAKER_00: I was no longer down.
- 54:29SPEAKER_00: I think I was down like $20,000 or $30,000 for the month and then all
- 54:32SPEAKER_00: a sudden I'm up like $200,000.
- 54:34SPEAKER_00: It's like awesome.
- 54:39SPEAKER_00: When you're young and you're just running around and having the dream,
- 54:42SPEAKER_00: like stacks of cash is crazy.
- 54:45SPEAKER_00: It's $200,000 in cash.
- 54:49SPEAKER_00: You know, so you're just like, you know, you're just like on cloud nine, right?
- 54:53SPEAKER_00: And so, yeah, that like once I won that, I think like the momentum got started.
- 55:00SPEAKER_00: The momentum of like me just having more confidence,
- 55:03SPEAKER_00: the momentum of me just kind of like getting deeper in other tournaments
- 55:07SPEAKER_00: and winning things,
- 55:07SPEAKER_00: the momentum of me like going into playing higher cash games,
- 55:10SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 55:11SPEAKER_00: like I described earlier and,
- 55:12SPEAKER_00: you know, really just kind of, you know, playing for higher stakes.
- 55:16SPEAKER_02: Bro, but so that was a complete Identity shift,
- 55:20SPEAKER_02: because we talk a lot about identity shifting, Transurfing reality.
- 55:25SPEAKER_02: Upgrading the self-image right there, yeah.
- 55:27SPEAKER_02: Upgrading, you know.
- 55:29SPEAKER_03: His nervous system had the best experience now that as proof, like, he had that.
- 55:35SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and I think the most important lesson, though,
- 55:38SPEAKER_00: from that is that a lot of people, they get to that high, like, they win one.
- 55:42SPEAKER_00: And you don't have to be good to win, like, anybody can win.
- 55:45SPEAKER_00: But it's kind of like recognizing,
- 55:47SPEAKER_00: okay, now that I'm here, now that I have all this money, what am I going to do now?
- 55:52SPEAKER_00: I was always kind of like a person who was in between spending too much money
- 55:58SPEAKER_00: and being responsible.
- 55:59SPEAKER_00: And it was a good thing because I was later in the stage of my life
- 56:02SPEAKER_00: where I was like, okay, I'm in between there.
- 56:05SPEAKER_00: So You know,
- 56:06SPEAKER_00: I just recognized really quick that, okay, like,
- 56:08SPEAKER_00: I can't just kind of blow this away,
- 56:10SPEAKER_00: you know, I can't just go crazy and play like the highest stakes.
- 56:12SPEAKER_00: What did you spend money on?
- 56:14SPEAKER_02: What did you spend money on?
- 56:15SPEAKER_02: How did you celebrate, man?
- 56:17SPEAKER_03: Samurai, Samurai, how did you spend
- 56:19SPEAKER_02: that money?
- 56:20SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm in Vegas, man.
- 56:23SPEAKER_02: Bro, whoa, it's like, what's that?
- 56:25SPEAKER_02: Hangover, like the hangover?
- 56:27SPEAKER_02: You had hangover tonight?
- 56:29SPEAKER_00: Pretty much.
- 56:29SPEAKER_00: Look, I'm in Vegas, man.
- 56:31SPEAKER_00: Like, I like to hang out with my friends,
- 56:33SPEAKER_00: you know, treat them to good food, you know, like, you know, play.
- 56:36SPEAKER_00: You're treating us, bro.
- 56:38SPEAKER_02: Treating us to a good time in Vegas, baby.
- 56:41SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 56:42SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, it's, you know, it's just the Vegas life.
- 56:45SPEAKER_00: The Vegas life is you just go,
- 56:46SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 56:47SPEAKER_00: kind of blow some money on all the things,
- 56:49SPEAKER_00: you know, and so, like,
- 56:51SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 56:51SPEAKER_00: I was like,
- 56:52SPEAKER_00: you know, yeah, I did,
- 56:54SPEAKER_00: but I didn't spend that much money,
- 56:55SPEAKER_00: you know, because I was somewhat responsible at that time.
- 56:58SPEAKER_00: So like, and I knew I needed a bankroll and stuff.
- 57:00SPEAKER_02: What would you guys do?
- 57:01SPEAKER_02: So you would treat your friends to nice restaurants, go to the clubs or what?
- 57:05SPEAKER_02: We're like, what was the actual,
- 57:07SPEAKER_00: I'm curious.
- 57:09SPEAKER_00: I wasn't too much of a clubber, but yes, I would go to the clubs for sure.
- 57:12SPEAKER_00: You know, like a lot of it was just fancy dinners.
- 57:14SPEAKER_00: A lot of it was like, hey, like,
- 57:16SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 57:16SPEAKER_00: putting your friends into other tournaments,
- 57:19SPEAKER_00: you know, like it was just kind of like just giving back a
- 57:21SPEAKER_02: little bit.
- 57:23SPEAKER_00: That's kind of how I spend my money to give back,
- 57:25SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 57:26SPEAKER_00: because my friends are supporting me, you know, and, you know, that kind of thing.
- 57:31SPEAKER_00: So, yeah, that's kind of where I would spend my money.
- 57:33SPEAKER_03: Not on hookers or blow, you know.
- 57:36SPEAKER_03: A little bit.
- 57:37SPEAKER_03: A little bit.
- 57:43SPEAKER_02: Preston, you reached the pinnacle of poker.
- 57:50SPEAKER_02: Then what happened?
- 57:52SPEAKER_02: So many things to talk about.
- 57:57SPEAKER_02: You're feeling great.
- 57:59SPEAKER_00: Then I started traveling.
- 58:01SPEAKER_00: I started traveling to different countries to play poker.
- 58:05SPEAKER_00: Before I was more local, it's like traveling between San Francisco and Vegas.
- 58:09SPEAKER_00: But now, then I started traveling all over the world.
- 58:12SPEAKER_00: I would go to Hong Kong,
- 58:13SPEAKER_00: I would go to Macau,
- 58:14SPEAKER_00: I went to the Philippines,
- 58:16SPEAKER_00: I went to Australia, Singapore, just everywhere that would have tournaments.
- 58:22SPEAKER_00: And so it was great,
- 58:25SPEAKER_00: just traveling around and meeting a bunch of people and just Yeah,
- 58:29SPEAKER_00: just having the time of my life.
- 58:30SPEAKER_00: Because look, I get to travel and I get to play poker.
- 58:32SPEAKER_00: Like it's the best life ever.
- 58:34SPEAKER_02: You know, like you're just hopping from hotel.
- 58:37SPEAKER_02: Did you realize it at that point?
- 58:39SPEAKER_02: Like what did you appreciate and say, damn, this is I got to remember this.
- 58:43SPEAKER_02: This is the best time of my life.
- 58:44SPEAKER_02: Did you understand what was happening or what?
- 58:48SPEAKER_00: Kind of.
- 58:48SPEAKER_00: I think like I was just in the moment, I was just having fun.
- 58:50SPEAKER_00: You know, I was like, I love connecting with new people.
- 58:55SPEAKER_00: I love just moving around and experiencing different places.
- 59:00SPEAKER_00: I never could really do that.
- 59:02SPEAKER_00: It was always like survival mode.
- 59:05SPEAKER_00: That moment was kind of like a little bit out of survival mode now.
- 59:08SPEAKER_00: Okay, I can sit a little bit more comfortably.
- 59:11SPEAKER_00: I can go play and just kind of move around.
- 59:16SPEAKER_00: As I went through that journey, I also then met my wife.
- 59:21SPEAKER_00: And then that's kind of when I started moving in a different direction.
- 59:27SPEAKER_03: Where did you meet her?
- 59:29SPEAKER_00: I actually met her on Tinder.
- 59:32SPEAKER_02: Vegas or what?
- 59:34SPEAKER_00: No, Hong Kong.
- 59:35SPEAKER_00: I met her on Tinder in Hong Kong and then we connected in Canada.
- 59:38SPEAKER_00: And then like I flew out to Canada to meet her,
- 59:41SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 59:42SPEAKER_00: after talking a little bit and then,
- 59:44SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 59:46SPEAKER_00: One thing, two things happened and now I have two kids and I'm living in Canada.
- 59:50SPEAKER_02: How do you feel about that?
- 59:51SPEAKER_02: Like meeting her, like, you know, you're a woo-woo spiritual guy.
- 59:57SPEAKER_02: What do you say about that meeting?
- 59:58SPEAKER_02: I mean, that's crazy.
- 1:00:00SPEAKER_02: And it sounds like, you know, like there's a lot of logistical issues to get together, right?
- 1:00:06SPEAKER_02: So there's some magic sauce going on.
- 1:00:08SPEAKER_02: What do you think about that?
- 1:00:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, you know,
- 1:00:11SPEAKER_00: it's funny because I've always been the person to just,
- 1:00:14SPEAKER_00: Just move wherever the universe is pushing me.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_00: I could just change.
- 1:00:18SPEAKER_00: I could just throw it all away and restart,
- 1:00:21SPEAKER_00: which has always eluded me as to why, even when I'm thinking about it.
- 1:00:26SPEAKER_00: I can just start all over again.
- 1:00:28SPEAKER_00: It feels okay to me.
- 1:00:33SPEAKER_00: There's a part of me,
- 1:00:34SPEAKER_00: and I think I didn't know it at the time,
- 1:00:35SPEAKER_00: that maybe it's an intuition,
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_00: or I don't know what it is,
- 1:00:38SPEAKER_00: but it's like, I just knew that this is, this is, this is the journey.
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_00: This is the person I want to be with.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_00: This is,
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_02: this is
- 1:00:45SPEAKER_02: what I'm going to do.
- 1:00:46SPEAKER_02: How fast did you know?
- 1:00:47SPEAKER_02: How fast did you know that?
- 1:00:50SPEAKER_00: I mean, like, I feel like, I mean,
- 1:00:55SPEAKER_00: it's really hard to say, but I would say maybe like,
- 1:01:04SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 1:01:05SPEAKER_00: It's really hard to say.
- 1:01:06SPEAKER_00: Maybe half a year in or three months to six months in.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
- 1:01:10SPEAKER_00: It's just feeling.
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_00: There's just something.
- 1:01:15SPEAKER_00: Something different.
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_00: Something that matches your soul in a way.
- 1:01:19SPEAKER_00: Something that you know you needed.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_00: And if I get out of here, there's no way I can capture that.
- 1:01:28SPEAKER_02: You met her before your spiritual journey that you're about to tell us about,
- 1:01:32SPEAKER_02: the six-year spiritual journey.
- 1:01:34SPEAKER_02: You met her before that, right?
- 1:01:37SPEAKER_02: But imagine you met her after your six-year personal journey.
- 1:01:41SPEAKER_02: Would you have seen the demons and the little guys,
- 1:01:45SPEAKER_02: fairies, and then they would have guided you?
- 1:01:50SPEAKER_00: To be perfectly honest, I would not be with her if I met her after my spiritual journey.
- 1:01:55SPEAKER_00: Because I think that I would have...
- 1:01:57SPEAKER_00: Because I would have a spiritual ego.
- 1:02:00SPEAKER_00: And that spiritual ego would say, no,
- 1:02:02SPEAKER_00: I have to be with this kind of person because this kind of person matches my energy.
- 1:02:07SPEAKER_00: It's very different.
- 1:02:08SPEAKER_00: Because it's an energy that you know you need,
- 1:02:12SPEAKER_00: but you're not really saying that you want out loud.
- 1:02:16SPEAKER_00: And that's the thing.
- 1:02:18SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like there's If I had to choose,
- 1:02:20SPEAKER_00: there's no way I wouldn't choose that kind of growth path for myself.
- 1:02:24SPEAKER_00: But if I look at the bigger picture of it all, I absolutely need that growth path.
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_00: I absolutely need her in my life to make myself who I am today.
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_00: And I'm just being perfectly honest.
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_00: From a high-level perspective,
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_00: obviously, if I'm level 12 Preston upstairs, yeah, I'm going to choose her.
- 1:02:46SPEAKER_00: But if I'm 3D Preston,
- 1:02:49SPEAKER_00: and super psychic and everything,
- 1:02:51SPEAKER_00: and just kind of in this spiritual super ego mode,
- 1:02:56SPEAKER_00: and thinking that I know everything that I need, I probably wouldn't, right?
- 1:03:00SPEAKER_00: From that perspective.
- 1:03:04SPEAKER_02: Interesting, bro.
- 1:03:06SPEAKER_02: Interesting.
- 1:03:07SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 1:03:08SPEAKER_03: What's 3D versus level 12?
- 1:03:11SPEAKER_02: Yeah, tell us about the levels.
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_00: For people who may
- 1:03:14SPEAKER_03: not know.
- 1:03:15SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think it's really because, look, we're all in 3D, right?
- 1:03:20SPEAKER_00: We're all living present moment life.
- 1:03:22SPEAKER_00: We only know kind of what's in front of us and what's our past
- 1:03:24SPEAKER_00: and what we currently kind of feel, right?
- 1:03:27SPEAKER_00: The higher version of ourselves, right?
- 1:03:29SPEAKER_00: Like what I believe is,
- 1:03:30SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:03:31SPEAKER_00: when we pass,
- 1:03:32SPEAKER_00: we fuse into this higher dimensional being that has all of these past lives
- 1:03:36SPEAKER_00: and even how all of these future lives.
- 1:03:38SPEAKER_00: And they obviously know a lot more, right?
- 1:03:41SPEAKER_00: They know, like they can see the whole timeline of our life, right?
- 1:03:44SPEAKER_00: Like from our point of view, This is what we see.
- 1:03:47SPEAKER_00: We are in this call right now chatting, right?
- 1:03:50SPEAKER_00: But from a higher point of view, they see the timeline.
- 1:03:52SPEAKER_00: They see the probabilities of like,
- 1:03:53SPEAKER_00: if you make this decision, then it forks into this road, right?
- 1:03:57SPEAKER_00: So it's a math game to them.
- 1:03:59SPEAKER_00: They see like, oh, this,
- 1:04:01SPEAKER_00: like my wife now puts me in the absolute perfect position to Perfect luck
- 1:04:07SPEAKER_00: to achieve all of my goals, to even become the person that I am today.
- 1:04:12SPEAKER_00: Honestly,
- 1:04:13SPEAKER_00: it's hard to say that I wouldn't choose her because if I didn't choose her,
- 1:04:17SPEAKER_00: then would I be in this position?
- 1:04:19SPEAKER_00: Would I be in this spiritually high, who I am now?
- 1:04:25SPEAKER_00: And so I can't really say that because it's like a butterfly effect.
- 1:04:29SPEAKER_00: What if I got to the stage that I'm in, but now I'm like 70 years old?
- 1:04:34SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:04:34SPEAKER_00: Like then, you know, then I would have missed all of the life to live.
- 1:04:38SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:04:38SPEAKER_00: Or, you know, whatever that means.
- 1:04:40SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:04:41SPEAKER_00: And so like they upstairs, they know that they can see that timeline.
- 1:04:44SPEAKER_00: They can run the AI on your life.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:04:48SPEAKER_00: And run the probability and run the stats, you can say.
- 1:04:51SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:04:52SPEAKER_00: To recognize that, hey, these are the best five decisions that you can make.
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:04:55SPEAKER_00: That's luck.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:04:57SPEAKER_00: It's not.
- 1:04:58SPEAKER_00: It's not destiny.
- 1:05:00SPEAKER_00: It is making the best decision in the moment that matches your energy.
- 1:05:04SPEAKER_00: And I think that's the most important part of all of this is that
- 1:05:09SPEAKER_00: when you meet somebody or when you do something that matches your energy,
- 1:05:13SPEAKER_00: it's a felt sense.
- 1:05:14SPEAKER_00: It's not like your brain saying, I'm not really sure.
- 1:05:17SPEAKER_00: It's you saying, I absolutely love being in here.
- 1:05:20SPEAKER_00: Just like, I absolutely love vibing with you guys.
- 1:05:23SPEAKER_00: It's a feeling.
- 1:05:25SPEAKER_00: It's not me thinking about whether I should be doing something else.
- 1:05:30SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of the energy.
- 1:05:38SPEAKER_03: You're muted.
- 1:05:41SPEAKER_02: This is the first time you're meeting Preston.
- 1:05:44SPEAKER_02: What do you think of this guy, bro?
- 1:05:46SPEAKER_03: I love him.
- 1:05:49SPEAKER_02: What's up, man?
- 1:05:50SPEAKER_01: What's up, buddy?
- 1:05:51SPEAKER_01: Hey, I'm good.
- 1:05:54SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I just got to say a big fan of Cisco.
- 1:06:00SPEAKER_02: Big fan of Cisco?
- 1:06:01SPEAKER_02: Oh, shit.
- 1:06:02SPEAKER_02: Why Cisco?
- 1:06:03SPEAKER_02: Tell us why you're a big fan of Cisco.
- 1:06:05SPEAKER_02: That's amazing.
- 1:06:06SPEAKER_02: I'm so happy for Cisco.
- 1:06:08SPEAKER_01: Why Cisco?
- 1:06:10SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 1:06:10SPEAKER_01: I guess maybe I relate to him a little bit because
- 1:06:16SPEAKER_01: just watch your videos
- 1:06:18SPEAKER_01: and I – I've only been maybe in three or four lives,
- 1:06:23SPEAKER_01: but totally when I first watched some of your videos,
- 1:06:30SPEAKER_01: just the intellectual omnivore hit so hard.
- 1:06:33SPEAKER_01: I never really heard that described anywhere else,
- 1:06:36SPEAKER_01: but it perfectly described how I think about everything.
- 1:06:42SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 1:06:44SPEAKER_02: But what do you resonate with Cisco?
- 1:06:46SPEAKER_02: What part?
- 1:06:46SPEAKER_02: You're Gen Z, right?
- 1:06:47SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm sure that's part of it.
- 1:06:51SPEAKER_01: And I don't know.
- 1:06:54SPEAKER_02: Do you feel like you've been hacked by the algorithm?
- 1:06:57SPEAKER_02: Because Cisco liked making this argument.
- 1:07:00SPEAKER_02: I got jumped.
- 1:07:01SPEAKER_02: He got jumped.
- 1:07:02SPEAKER_03: Because as a Gen
- 1:07:04SPEAKER_02: Xer, I was like...
- 1:07:08SPEAKER_02: Not really understanding, but Cisco really kind of cleared things up.
- 1:07:11SPEAKER_02: He was like, my entire life I've been exposed to devices, right?
- 1:07:16SPEAKER_02: And it's just constant, these big tech warlords trying to get your attention.
- 1:07:21SPEAKER_02: So what effect does that have in your life, right?
- 1:07:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean,
- 1:07:28SPEAKER_01: growing up,
- 1:07:30SPEAKER_01: I think it's definitely different having the technology while our minds develop.
- 1:07:36SPEAKER_01: As opposed to it being something that came into existence when you were 20 or older.
- 1:07:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah,
- 1:07:46SPEAKER_01: I think I've tried to reduce general social media use.
- 1:07:52SPEAKER_01: I see some problems with it, of course.
- 1:07:55SPEAKER_01: I'm sure there are.
- 1:08:02SPEAKER_01: So I'm kind of nervous, actually.
- 1:08:04SPEAKER_01: Let's take a deep breath.
- 1:08:06SPEAKER_01: Everybody, let's take a deep breath.
- 1:08:09SPEAKER_02: Ground, ground.
- 1:08:10SPEAKER_02: We're the center.
- 1:08:10SPEAKER_02: Grounded, dude.
- 1:08:12SPEAKER_00: Imagine the center of the earth.
- 1:08:14SPEAKER_00: I'm going to bring the earth into this conversation.
- 1:08:19SPEAKER_02: Center, bro.
- 1:08:20SPEAKER_02: I felt the center of the earth, brother.
- 1:08:23SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 1:08:25SPEAKER_02: How about you, brother?
- 1:08:26SPEAKER_02: You feel the center?
- 1:08:26SPEAKER_02: Feel the center.
- 1:08:27SPEAKER_02: Feel the center, bro.
- 1:08:32SPEAKER_02: You feel it in your gut.
- 1:08:33SPEAKER_00: This is where you
- 1:08:34SPEAKER_02: bring it in.
- 1:08:35SPEAKER_00: You're right in the gut there.
- 1:08:36SPEAKER_02: This
- 1:08:41SPEAKER_03: is amazing.
- 1:08:42SPEAKER_01: What comes to mind?
- 1:08:44SPEAKER_03: What comes to mind?
- 1:08:45SPEAKER_02: Why are you nervous, bro?
- 1:08:48SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 1:08:50SPEAKER_01: You guys are famous to me.
- 1:08:53SPEAKER_01: No, I am.
- 1:08:55SPEAKER_01: That's Vibe Samurai.
- 1:08:59SPEAKER_01: I feel weird to actually talk to you guys.
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_02: Really?
- 1:09:01SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:09:02SPEAKER_02: This is so crazy.
- 1:09:04SPEAKER_02: Bro, it's so normal to me.
- 1:09:05SPEAKER_02: Like you're, dude.
- 1:09:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well,
- 1:09:07SPEAKER_01: I mean,
- 1:09:08SPEAKER_01: I'm sure once you do this a lot, you talk to, you know, you talk to strangers a lot.
- 1:09:13SPEAKER_01: I'm sure it's a skill you get better at.
- 1:09:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:09:15SPEAKER_02: Bro, you got to join the Omnivore Club, bro.
- 1:09:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:09:18SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:09:20SPEAKER_03: I totally, yeah.
- 1:09:21SPEAKER_03: Live conversations are happening more often than just Wednesday, so.
- 1:09:24SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:09:26SPEAKER_01: I feel like my whole life I've been trying to find people to have conversations with.
- 1:09:33SPEAKER_01: It goes into a lot of things.
- 1:09:36SPEAKER_01: I picked a friend group that's not really into that and a bunch of other stuff.
- 1:09:39SPEAKER_01: I feel like I've been missing this for a long time.
- 1:09:43SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 1:09:45SPEAKER_02: Oh my God.
- 1:09:45SPEAKER_02: That is crazy.
- 1:09:46SPEAKER_02: What do you think, Preston?
- 1:09:48SPEAKER_02: What's going on?
- 1:09:48SPEAKER_02: Because you talked about like the vibration and the connection of this community.
- 1:09:53SPEAKER_02: You've left me direct messages saying this is amazing.
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_02: Tell us.
- 1:09:58SPEAKER_02: And now that you're hearing this young gentleman right here.
- 1:10:02SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:10:02SPEAKER_00: So, you know,
- 1:10:03SPEAKER_00: like oftentimes I kind of Float into things and like,
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:10:08SPEAKER_00: kind of instantly just watching your videos and everything,
- 1:10:10SPEAKER_00: like there's an energy to it, right?
- 1:10:12SPEAKER_00: So like,
- 1:10:12SPEAKER_00: I was like,
- 1:10:13SPEAKER_00: okay, like, let's check out this omnivore club, you know, see what's going on.
- 1:10:17SPEAKER_00: And now that I'm kind of really thinking about it and dissecting it,
- 1:10:20SPEAKER_00: you know, I think what's happening is that it's an extremely safe space.
- 1:10:26SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 1:10:26SPEAKER_00: it's a safe space to explore,
- 1:10:28SPEAKER_00: it's a safe space to think, it's a safe space to express.
- 1:10:33SPEAKER_00: And also,
- 1:10:34SPEAKER_00: I think what's really great about it is that it puts it into words
- 1:10:37SPEAKER_00: that we understand.
- 1:10:39SPEAKER_00: It puts it into experiences that we can relate to that there weren't words for before.
- 1:10:47SPEAKER_00: And I think that's your magic.
- 1:10:49SPEAKER_00: Your magic is really just putting it into things that are...
- 1:10:53SPEAKER_00: That connect us in ways we didn't understand how to connect.
- 1:10:57SPEAKER_00: And even for me, I'm just like, those are powerful words.
- 1:11:00SPEAKER_00: I don't know why, but I love them.
- 1:11:02SPEAKER_00: So then I needed more.
- 1:11:04SPEAKER_00: I joined the Omnivore Cup to really be like, I need more of this.
- 1:11:07SPEAKER_00: I need more people like this.
- 1:11:09SPEAKER_00: And the beauty of it is everybody is so inviting and so able to hold so much range.
- 1:11:17SPEAKER_00: And that's the beauty of it.
- 1:11:18SPEAKER_00: Because it doesn't matter where we are in our life.
- 1:11:21SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, I've always been nervous to talk and things like that, too.
- 1:11:25SPEAKER_00: But in the Omnicora Club, I felt like I wasn't, you know, I was just me.
- 1:11:31SPEAKER_00: And there's a specialness of the container that's being built.
- 1:11:36SPEAKER_00: With just the vibes here and in the Omnivore Club that really is able to hold that.
- 1:11:41SPEAKER_00: And it's something special, right?
- 1:11:43SPEAKER_00: It's something special that doesn't really have words.
- 1:11:46SPEAKER_00: It just is, right?
- 1:11:48SPEAKER_00: And just by watching, you know, you just know, right?
- 1:11:51SPEAKER_00: Like there's no words here.
- 1:11:52SPEAKER_02: You just know.
- 1:11:53SPEAKER_02: Preston, so this container, obviously there's different kinds of container.
- 1:11:58SPEAKER_02: You have the container with your wife and that's a special kind of space.
- 1:12:01SPEAKER_02: And with your kids, it's a special kind of space.
- 1:12:04SPEAKER_02: So were you missing this particular flavor, this particular container?
- 1:12:09SPEAKER_02: I feel like you met a lot of cool, weird people in your poker days too.
- 1:12:17SPEAKER_02: I'm surprised that you would come here searching for the online pro club and getting together.
- 1:12:24SPEAKER_02: That's a great question.
- 1:12:31SPEAKER_00: After I kind of open up spirituality,
- 1:12:33SPEAKER_00: it's a huge range to go from degenerate poker player to psychic channeler.
- 1:12:40SPEAKER_00: There's a range there that is not like jump over.
- 1:12:43SPEAKER_00: That's a wide-ass range.
- 1:12:45SPEAKER_02: That's a super wide-ass range.
- 1:12:47SPEAKER_00: That is elite.
- 1:12:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:12:49SPEAKER_00: So granted, like, of course I have my poker friends, right?
- 1:12:52SPEAKER_00: And they accept me and so on.
- 1:12:53SPEAKER_00: But it's not like I can bring up a topic about spiritual channeling
- 1:12:57SPEAKER_00: to them necessarily because the range is too far wide, right?
- 1:13:01SPEAKER_00: And then I have,
- 1:13:02SPEAKER_00: of course,
- 1:13:02SPEAKER_00: my spiritual friends that I've made along the way in the past couple of years.
- 1:13:05SPEAKER_00: But it is more like kind of on another end of the spectrum, right?
- 1:13:09SPEAKER_00: Like I've always been looking for either community or people to understand me
- 1:13:15SPEAKER_00: that existed somewhere in between.
- 1:13:18SPEAKER_00: It existed between degeneracy and spirituality.
- 1:13:22SPEAKER_00: And that's why tender degenerate means it's such a powerful word for me.
- 1:13:27SPEAKER_00: It is beyond powerful because how else could I find that synthesis?
- 1:13:32SPEAKER_00: It would be this side or this side.
- 1:13:35SPEAKER_00: And it's like, I don't want to talk about, I want to talk about everything.
- 1:13:38SPEAKER_00: I want to be able to fully express the range and not have to be stuck on one side
- 1:13:44SPEAKER_00: or stuck on the other.
- 1:13:45SPEAKER_00: And that's why it's so special to me.
- 1:13:47SPEAKER_00: And that's why,
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:13:48SPEAKER_00: I find myself here because there is no other container that can hold that kind
- 1:13:54SPEAKER_00: of like community container for me.
- 1:13:56SPEAKER_02: Damn.
- 1:13:57SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 1:13:58SPEAKER_02: Cisco, what do you think, dude?
- 1:14:00SPEAKER_02: We went to weird together from vibe session.
- 1:14:02SPEAKER_02: Number one, it's been over a year now, a year and a half.
- 1:14:05SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:14:05SPEAKER_02: What are you thinking?
- 1:14:06SPEAKER_03: You started the non judgmental space you created and it's just a space
- 1:14:12SPEAKER_03: to be present, to listen and to be curious.
- 1:14:15SPEAKER_03: Like it's such a simple formula.
- 1:14:18SPEAKER_03: And then now you have other people doing that.
- 1:14:20SPEAKER_03: And then it's all generations, Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X, Boomers.
- 1:14:26SPEAKER_03: And then they have their own range of topics and life experiences.
- 1:14:31SPEAKER_03: And then that all,
- 1:14:32SPEAKER_03: like this past Sunday,
- 1:14:34SPEAKER_03: like it was just Rob's space and it was like 40 to 60 year olds.
- 1:14:38SPEAKER_03: And I was the only 25 year old there.
- 1:14:42SPEAKER_03: And then like natural conversation was happening.
- 1:14:45SPEAKER_03: And then I stumbled a little into like A little vent,
- 1:14:48SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 1:14:48SPEAKER_03: I kept it appropriate,
- 1:14:49SPEAKER_03: didn't make it long or anything,
- 1:14:50SPEAKER_03: and they gave me advice and helped me,
- 1:14:52SPEAKER_03: you know, so there's like that community aspect too, like people just want to help.
- 1:14:58SPEAKER_03: And yeah, like, it's great, man, you gotta, you gotta apply.
- 1:15:02SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like he was just saying,
- 1:15:07SPEAKER_01: in the middle of that range,
- 1:15:09SPEAKER_01: there's someone else I follow, and they said something along the lines of,
- 1:15:14SPEAKER_01: There's people that are too yuppie for the druggies and too druggy for the yuppies.
- 1:15:20SPEAKER_01: And it's basically just,
- 1:15:22SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:15:24SPEAKER_01: there's
- 1:15:26SPEAKER_01: definitely some life that people that you would consider degenerates have
- 1:15:32SPEAKER_01: that,
- 1:15:34SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:15:35SPEAKER_01: that are good,
- 1:15:36SPEAKER_01: but you still want to be ambitious and, you know, want more out of life.
- 1:15:43SPEAKER_01: But you don't want to just be studying all day.
- 1:15:47SPEAKER_01: You want to go out and be adventurous and bold.
- 1:15:51SPEAKER_01: So it's finding that middle that is very difficult.
- 1:15:56SPEAKER_02: Damn.
- 1:15:57SPEAKER_02: Bro, this is so beautiful what's happening here.
- 1:15:59SPEAKER_02: We got two Gen Zers.
- 1:16:01SPEAKER_02: We got a Gen Xer and we got a Millennial in Preston.
- 1:16:04SPEAKER_02: This is intergenerational, interdimensional stuff.
- 1:16:08SPEAKER_02: Best Vibe Session Ever, Cisco.
- 1:16:11SPEAKER_02: What do you think, man?
- 1:16:14SPEAKER_02: Every damn session.
- 1:16:16SPEAKER_03: I'm curious, were you listening to any of Preston's story?
- 1:16:19SPEAKER_03: Did you hear anything before?
- 1:16:20SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I heard about the… I wonder if you
- 1:16:22SPEAKER_03: have a question for Preston.
- 1:16:23SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you have a question, Samurai?
- 1:16:25SPEAKER_02: You're a Samurai, bro.
- 1:16:27SPEAKER_02: Come on.
- 1:16:28SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
- 1:16:32SPEAKER_01: I was thinking when he was talking about how your emotions
- 1:16:39SPEAKER_01: It's not really a question.
- 1:16:42SPEAKER_01: I really liked when he was talking about how your feelings come and go,
- 1:16:47SPEAKER_01: and they're not permanent.
- 1:16:52SPEAKER_01: When I've meditated before,
- 1:16:54SPEAKER_01: I've tried to,
- 1:16:56SPEAKER_01: even things like when you have an itch on your face and you want to scratch it,
- 1:17:03SPEAKER_01: but you're just being perfectly still.
- 1:17:06SPEAKER_01: And eventually it just goes away.
- 1:17:09SPEAKER_01: And then you can stay, you can be still the whole time.
- 1:17:13SPEAKER_01: And I think that's actually good because it's allowed me to use that
- 1:17:19SPEAKER_01: in other aspects where I know this is temporary and,
- 1:17:25SPEAKER_01: you know, this is not part of me.
- 1:17:27SPEAKER_01: This is just something that's happening to me.
- 1:17:30SPEAKER_01: And you can interpret that how you want.
- 1:17:36SPEAKER_00: That already is sage advice, right?
- 1:17:40SPEAKER_00: That is already sage advice because it's so true, right?
- 1:17:44SPEAKER_00: It's so true because when you,
- 1:17:45SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:17:46SPEAKER_00: like you don't expect to go on a poker table and be like this super poker player,
- 1:17:50SPEAKER_00: like, oh, you know, like I'm not going to react.
- 1:17:51SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to let the emotions, you know, it takes time.
- 1:17:53SPEAKER_00: It takes training, right?
- 1:17:54SPEAKER_00: But it's again, like compound interest, right?
- 1:17:57SPEAKER_00: You have that itch.
- 1:17:58SPEAKER_00: You don't scratch it.
- 1:17:59SPEAKER_00: Next time it gets easier.
- 1:18:00SPEAKER_00: It gets easier and it gets easier.
- 1:18:02SPEAKER_00: And then next thing you know, you're a master, right?
- 1:18:04SPEAKER_00: And if you just,
- 1:18:05SPEAKER_00: Basically,
- 1:18:06SPEAKER_00: take what you just said into all aspects of your life,
- 1:18:09SPEAKER_00: 1% a day,
- 1:18:10SPEAKER_00: 1% at a time,
- 1:18:13SPEAKER_00: recognizing,
- 1:18:13SPEAKER_00: just being aware of what that itch is,
- 1:18:16SPEAKER_00: and then just being like, I'm going to be better than this itch.
- 1:18:20SPEAKER_00: I'm not going to let it affect my life, or I'm not going to let it affect whatever it is.
- 1:18:25SPEAKER_00: Think of life as itches, right?
- 1:18:27SPEAKER_00: All of the itches, right?
- 1:18:28SPEAKER_00: 1% a day.
- 1:18:29SPEAKER_00: Now you're like Superman in two weeks, right?
- 1:18:32SPEAKER_00: Because you now are like,
- 1:18:34SPEAKER_00: you know, you're getting all the itches, the itch, the other itch, right?
- 1:18:37SPEAKER_00: And like, it just, it goes so fast from there.
- 1:18:40SPEAKER_00: Transformation.
- 1:18:41SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of how I see spirituality.
- 1:18:42SPEAKER_00: It is the transformation of all of those itches.
- 1:18:45SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 1:18:46SPEAKER_00: it's a transformation of all of the aspects of yourself,
- 1:18:48SPEAKER_00: all of the energy of yourself,
- 1:18:49SPEAKER_00: just kind of slowly building up that resistance,
- 1:18:52SPEAKER_00: that resilience, that transformation.
- 1:18:54SPEAKER_00: And, you know, just mindset is, We'll get you extremely far in life, that mindset.
- 1:19:01SPEAKER_02: So let's go through your spiritual.
- 1:19:02SPEAKER_02: So you reach the highest level of the world series of poker.
- 1:19:06SPEAKER_02: Okay.
- 1:19:06SPEAKER_02: Then like, like what caused you this?
- 1:19:08SPEAKER_02: I'm so anxious to hear the story.
- 1:19:11SPEAKER_02: And then what happened?
- 1:19:12SPEAKER_02: Why did you quit?
- 1:19:13SPEAKER_02: And then, you know, like tell it, walk us through.
- 1:19:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:19:16SPEAKER_00: Well, basically my wife got pregnant.
- 1:19:19SPEAKER_00: So then like, you know, like we got married and then we had kids.
- 1:19:24SPEAKER_00: That was, it went really, it came really quickly.
- 1:19:27SPEAKER_00: It was kind of like, okay,
- 1:19:28SPEAKER_00: I'm doing my poker thing and then now that we have kids,
- 1:19:32SPEAKER_00: okay, now I have to think about where I'm going to settle, what I'm going to do.
- 1:19:37SPEAKER_00: So obviously I moved to Canada because my wife has a house here and it's a beautiful place.
- 1:19:46SPEAKER_00: And so my focus then was, okay,
- 1:19:49SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to kind of hang out,
- 1:19:52SPEAKER_00: just kind of coast on the poker money that I made and just Be there for my children.
- 1:19:58SPEAKER_00: That's been a beautiful time to completely change the way that from a DJ
- 1:20:07SPEAKER_00: and poker play to a dad.
- 1:20:10SPEAKER_00: Because now I'm thinking about all kinds of different things.
- 1:20:12SPEAKER_00: Now I'm thinking about all these responsibilities and just being a good dad and a good husband.
- 1:20:17SPEAKER_00: That's a complete 180 shift from where I was to being solo poker player, whatever.
- 1:20:25SPEAKER_00: And so in that kind of mode,
- 1:20:27SPEAKER_00: like in the beginning of about to have a kid,
- 1:20:31SPEAKER_00: I decided, okay, I need to be my best self.
- 1:20:36SPEAKER_00: Pretending like now I'm on a different poker table.
- 1:20:38SPEAKER_00: If I'm on this poker table, I have to be a good dad, be a good husband.
- 1:20:42SPEAKER_00: I have to do the work and just be a better person for my children and for my wife.
- 1:20:50SPEAKER_00: So then I started meditation.
- 1:20:51SPEAKER_02: Damn, so it's all because of your family and your dad's what motivated you
- 1:20:56SPEAKER_02: to this whole spiritual journey for the past, for six years?
- 1:21:00SPEAKER_02: To be a better man?
- 1:21:02SPEAKER_02: That's crazy, bro.
- 1:21:04SPEAKER_02: Like, he was like, damn.
- 1:21:07SPEAKER_00: You know, like, why not?
- 1:21:08SPEAKER_00: Like, if we put all of the energy,
- 1:21:09SPEAKER_00: because my energy,
- 1:21:10SPEAKER_00: my energy is always all in, or it's just, I go all in on everything, right?
- 1:21:14SPEAKER_00: So if I'm going all in on being a dad, then...
- 1:21:18SPEAKER_00: You know, then I'm going all in on being the best version of myself.
- 1:21:21SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:21:22SPEAKER_00: And so then you jump in,
- 1:21:23SPEAKER_00: like I jumped into meditation,
- 1:21:24SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:21:25SPEAKER_00: I jumped into kind of like all of those things,
- 1:21:27SPEAKER_00: but naturally being curious,
- 1:21:28SPEAKER_00: like loving like sci fi as I grew up,
- 1:21:30SPEAKER_00: you know, loving like aliens and that kind of like that kind of category.
- 1:21:36SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 1:21:36SPEAKER_00: Like I naturally just questioned like, well, you know, psychic ability, right?
- 1:21:41SPEAKER_00: Like, well, how do you do it?
- 1:21:42SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, I want to, I want to hack this, right?
- 1:21:45SPEAKER_00: Like, I'm always thinking about how to hack things, right?
- 1:21:47SPEAKER_00: Like, so why can't I hack the universe?
- 1:21:48SPEAKER_00: Right?
- 1:21:48SPEAKER_00: Why not?
- 1:21:49SPEAKER_00: So then I just dived into basically.
- 1:21:51SPEAKER_02: The universe!
- 1:21:52SPEAKER_02: He was like, why not hack the universe, bro?
- 1:21:54SPEAKER_02: Why not hack the universe?
- 1:21:56SPEAKER_02: Bro, there's a video here, bro.
- 1:21:57SPEAKER_02: There's so many videos.
- 1:21:59SPEAKER_02: Why not hack the universe, bro?
- 1:22:01SPEAKER_02: That's an inspirational thing that will go viral, dude.
- 1:22:04SPEAKER_02: Why not hack the universe?
- 1:22:05SPEAKER_02: Why not?
- 1:22:06SPEAKER_02: And here's how.
- 1:22:07SPEAKER_02: And here's how.
- 1:22:08SPEAKER_02: Explain in your video.
- 1:22:09SPEAKER_02: Why not hack the universe?
- 1:22:10SPEAKER_02: And here's how.
- 1:22:11SPEAKER_02: That's going to go viral.
- 1:22:12SPEAKER_02: Right there.
- 1:22:13SPEAKER_02: Awesome.
- 1:22:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:22:17SPEAKER_00: And, um, yeah.
- 1:22:18SPEAKER_00: So basically I kind of like in the beginning, like I didn't know what I was doing.
- 1:22:20SPEAKER_00: I was like,
- 1:22:21SPEAKER_00: you know what universe,
- 1:22:22SPEAKER_00: if you exist, you know, if someone up there is listening, like send me a sign.
- 1:22:26SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:22:26SPEAKER_00: And I was just like, I was just like saying random things.
- 1:22:29SPEAKER_00: I was like, you know what?
- 1:22:29SPEAKER_00: Send me a broccoli in the mail,
- 1:22:32SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:22:32SPEAKER_00: or send me,
- 1:22:32SPEAKER_00: you know, like see, send me like a broccoli dropping on the floor rather.
- 1:22:35SPEAKER_00: That's what I said specifically.
- 1:22:37SPEAKER_00: I like, I want to see a broccoli drop on the floor.
- 1:22:39SPEAKER_00: You know, if you're real, that's what you're going to show me.
- 1:22:41SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:22:41SPEAKER_00: And so like, you know, like three months go by, forget about it.
- 1:22:44SPEAKER_00: And then one day, like,
- 1:22:46SPEAKER_00: I get this package and I'm opening it and something flies out of the box and it's
- 1:22:51SPEAKER_00: a broccoli that my mom sent me.
- 1:22:53SPEAKER_00: No way, no way, no way.
- 1:22:55SPEAKER_02: That's a real story.
- 1:22:56SPEAKER_02: I swear to God.
- 1:22:57SPEAKER_00: It's a broccoli.
- 1:22:59SPEAKER_02: Your mom is sending you broccoli over the mail, bro?
- 1:23:04SPEAKER_02: No, it's a flushie.
- 1:23:06SPEAKER_01: Did that do it for you?
- 1:23:08SPEAKER_01: Was that?
- 1:23:09SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that did it for me because I'm like, there's no way, guys.
- 1:23:14SPEAKER_00: There's no way,
- 1:23:15SPEAKER_00: you know, like,
- 1:23:16SPEAKER_00: it's only been a couple months,
- 1:23:17SPEAKER_00: you know, like, and the broccoli just flew out of the thing.
- 1:23:19SPEAKER_00: And I was just like, it's right there.
- 1:23:21SPEAKER_00: Like, that's what I asked for, right?
- 1:23:22SPEAKER_00: And I'm like,
- 1:23:24SPEAKER_00: all right,
- 1:23:24SPEAKER_00: you know, like,
- 1:23:25SPEAKER_00: once that kind of happened,
- 1:23:26SPEAKER_00: once you kind of get a sign of the from the universe,
- 1:23:28SPEAKER_00: even if it's kind of silly like that, like, sure, it could be coincidence, right?
- 1:23:31SPEAKER_00: Like, my analytical mind, like,
- 1:23:33SPEAKER_00: it's probability, like,
- 1:23:34SPEAKER_00: that's what happened, like,
- 1:23:35SPEAKER_00: 3% of the time,
- 1:23:36SPEAKER_00: you know, like,
- 1:23:37SPEAKER_00: it's just like winning the lottery,
- 1:23:38SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:23:39SPEAKER_01: but like,
- 1:23:40SPEAKER_01: what you put your focus on, you're going to notice more, you know, like, Exactly.
- 1:23:45SPEAKER_01: That broccoli could have come either way.
- 1:23:54SPEAKER_01: Whatever you choose that thing to be, you're going to be looking for that.
- 1:24:01SPEAKER_02: R.A.S.
- 1:24:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:24:05SPEAKER_01: It may just be the case that there's tons of stuff that's happening to you
- 1:24:10SPEAKER_01: that you're not even noticing.
- 1:24:13SPEAKER_01: But when you pick something,
- 1:24:15SPEAKER_01: like a lot of times when someone sees something for the first time
- 1:24:18SPEAKER_01: or really just experiences something for the first time,
- 1:24:21SPEAKER_01: very quickly after, they experience it more and more.
- 1:24:25SPEAKER_01: And it's just because you're now aware of it and you can now recognize it easier.
- 1:24:29SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 1:24:32SPEAKER_01: I completely agree.
- 1:24:37SPEAKER_02: For like manifesting positive things, right?
- 1:24:39SPEAKER_02: It just kind of compounds and Luckify.
- 1:24:42SPEAKER_01: That's what people say,
- 1:24:43SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:24:45SPEAKER_01: like if you're positive and you're looking for positive things,
- 1:24:48SPEAKER_01: you're going to find it.
- 1:24:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
- 1:24:50SPEAKER_02: So Preston, tell us about Luckify.
- 1:24:52SPEAKER_02: Let's get into a little bit of that.
- 1:24:55SPEAKER_02: Because you haven't,
- 1:24:56SPEAKER_02: tell us about what you have, the website and the app and stuff and the reports.
- 1:25:01SPEAKER_02: And like, what is the underlying kind of theme around Luckify and Luckify?
- 1:25:06SPEAKER_02: I love it, but tell us more about it.
- 1:25:10SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so in the beginning of my journey,
- 1:25:12SPEAKER_00: the first question I asked,
- 1:25:14SPEAKER_00: and it's so funny that you asked that because it's kind of like the AGI, right?
- 1:25:18SPEAKER_00: What is the first question you would ask the other AI, right?
- 1:25:23SPEAKER_00: And this is like, what is the first question I would ask the universe, right?
- 1:25:27SPEAKER_00: And so being a poker player, I was like, how the hell do I...
- 1:25:31SPEAKER_00: Increase my luck, right?
- 1:25:33SPEAKER_00: I want to maximize my luck, universe.
- 1:25:36SPEAKER_00: Tell me how to do that, right?
- 1:25:38SPEAKER_00: Because if I have all the luck in the world, I mean, what is life?
- 1:25:42SPEAKER_00: Life is just a breeze, right?
- 1:25:45SPEAKER_00: It would be the best thing ever, right?
- 1:25:47SPEAKER_00: So that's kind of the core of Luckify Me is that the core question of
- 1:25:53SPEAKER_00: which I'm still answering,
- 1:25:54SPEAKER_00: I'm still processing,
- 1:25:56SPEAKER_00: I'm still trying to figure out what is luck and how do we align to it?
- 1:26:02SPEAKER_00: And so that's been the core kind of foundation behind what Luckify Me is.
- 1:26:09SPEAKER_00: And so Luckify Me is now built on different divination systems,
- 1:26:14SPEAKER_00: understanding how we align to energy and how luck is brought in,
- 1:26:20SPEAKER_00: how we kind of come into the universe, all the aspects of luck.
- 1:26:26SPEAKER_00: That is not like one definition, it's a million definitions.
- 1:26:30SPEAKER_00: And to kind of synthesize all of that into one place
- 1:26:34SPEAKER_00: to really help people understand and help myself understand what is
- 1:26:39SPEAKER_00: the next move I can do that will increase my luck?
- 1:26:42SPEAKER_00: What is the action that I can do to really bring in that luck for me?
- 1:26:48SPEAKER_00: And what does luck even mean?
- 1:26:50SPEAKER_02: So let me ask you something.
- 1:26:51SPEAKER_02: Cisco, what does luck mean?
- 1:26:53SPEAKER_02: And then I want to see Preston's definition.
- 1:26:55SPEAKER_02: What to you?
- 1:26:56SPEAKER_02: That's a very interesting question.
- 1:26:58SPEAKER_02: What is luck to you, bro?
- 1:27:00SPEAKER_02: Cisco.
- 1:27:01SPEAKER_02: And then I want you to answer.
- 1:27:02SPEAKER_02: What's your name again, bro?
- 1:27:03SPEAKER_02: Will.
- 1:27:04SPEAKER_02: Will.
- 1:27:05SPEAKER_02: Will.
- 1:27:06SPEAKER_02: Okay, and then you go Will.
- 1:27:08SPEAKER_02: And then Preston will answer kind of the thing.
- 1:27:10SPEAKER_02: Go ahead.
- 1:27:10SPEAKER_02: I can't even think of a definition.
- 1:27:12SPEAKER_03: Right?
- 1:27:13SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 1:27:14SPEAKER_02: It's interesting.
- 1:27:15SPEAKER_03: Yeah, because I say, I use that word, you know, and I can't even...
- 1:27:20SPEAKER_03: Gen Z, I'm going to Google it.
- 1:27:21SPEAKER_03: I'm sorry, I'm breaking my words.
- 1:27:22SPEAKER_01: What about you, Will?
- 1:27:23SPEAKER_01: Will, what is left to you?
- 1:27:25SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I mean, it's hard to describe, but I mean, I've always thought it's crazy.
- 1:27:32SPEAKER_01: Like anyone could suddenly be the greatest athlete in any sport of all time.
- 1:27:38SPEAKER_01: Like there's nothing stopping you from being able to make every single three-pointer
- 1:27:42SPEAKER_01: for the rest of your life if you just do it right.
- 1:27:49SPEAKER_01: So, yeah, I don't know, like, I guess.
- 1:27:54SPEAKER_03: I have three definitions.
- 1:27:56SPEAKER_03: Go ahead, Cisco.
- 1:27:58SPEAKER_03: Number one, the chance happening of fortunate or adverse events.
- 1:28:04SPEAKER_03: Fortune.
- 1:28:05SPEAKER_03: All right, number two, good fortune or prosperity.
- 1:28:11SPEAKER_03: Semicolon success.
- 1:28:13SPEAKER_03: Number three, one's personal fate or lot.
- 1:28:18SPEAKER_03: Interesting.
- 1:28:19SPEAKER_03: But yeah, the chance happening.
- 1:28:21SPEAKER_03: I've never heard it said like that.
- 1:28:23SPEAKER_03: The chance happening of fortunate events, basically.
- 1:28:26SPEAKER_02: The chance happening of fortune.
- 1:28:28SPEAKER_02: Man, I've never thought about what does luck mean?
- 1:28:30SPEAKER_01: What's interesting is fortunate events is quite subjective.
- 1:28:37SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 1:28:38SPEAKER_01: I mean, you may think you're lucky at the time.
- 1:28:41SPEAKER_01: Yes.
- 1:28:41SPEAKER_01: Looking back, you might think you're unlucky.
- 1:28:44SPEAKER_01: So maybe it doesn't even exist.
- 1:28:46SPEAKER_03: The horse, yeah.
- 1:28:49SPEAKER_02: It shows up in every vibe sesh, bro.
- 1:28:52SPEAKER_02: This fucking horse and farmer shows up in every vibe.
- 1:28:56SPEAKER_02: It's such an important parable.
- 1:28:58SPEAKER_02: I need to make a video again tomorrow.
- 1:29:00SPEAKER_02: Damn.
- 1:29:01SPEAKER_02: But let's go to Preston.
- 1:29:02SPEAKER_02: Preston, so help us now.
- 1:29:04SPEAKER_02: We're clearly confused.
- 1:29:06SPEAKER_02: I've never thought about it.
- 1:29:07SPEAKER_02: So what do you think luck is?
- 1:29:09SPEAKER_02: I know you said it's multi-definitional, but how can we think about it?
- 1:29:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so I always think of luck like I'm going to go back on the poker table.
- 1:29:19SPEAKER_00: Because when I'm playing poker,
- 1:29:20SPEAKER_00: I'm thinking,
- 1:29:21SPEAKER_00: okay, this action that I do is going to print me more money in the future.
- 1:29:26SPEAKER_00: It doesn't actually matter if I lose the hand,
- 1:29:28SPEAKER_00: because if losing the hand means I win two hands in the future,
- 1:29:31SPEAKER_00: I'm going to absolutely lose that hand.
- 1:29:33SPEAKER_00: So luck is the action that increases your
- 1:29:38SPEAKER_00: expected value
- 1:29:41SPEAKER_00: of the future.
- 1:29:45SPEAKER_00: Essentially, you're just continually doing the move that compound interest.
- 1:29:51SPEAKER_00: It's exactly like compound interest.
- 1:29:54SPEAKER_00: What move can I do that would compound me the max way of my dream life
- 1:29:59SPEAKER_00: or my dream self of exactly where I want to be?
- 1:30:03SPEAKER_00: Because if you say you win the lottery, that's not necessarily lucky.
- 1:30:07SPEAKER_00: There's so many stories about people winning the lottery and them just being bankrupt.
- 1:30:13SPEAKER_00: And it's because that they're not ready to win the lottery.
- 1:30:16SPEAKER_00: They're not ready for that responsibility.
- 1:30:18SPEAKER_00: They're not ready for those things, right?
- 1:30:21SPEAKER_00: And like even a basketball player, like, oh, I wish I was lucky to hit all these three points.
- 1:30:24SPEAKER_00: No, like what you want to do is you want to be lucky to meet that person
- 1:30:27SPEAKER_00: to teach you how to play better than everybody else.
- 1:30:31SPEAKER_00: And then you slowly become the best basketball player in the world
- 1:30:37SPEAKER_00: because you're lucky to have all of those experiences,
- 1:30:41SPEAKER_00: all of the things that happen to you to make you into that one person,
- 1:30:46SPEAKER_00: into making you into that luckiest possible version of yourself.
- 1:30:50SPEAKER_00: And so luck is subjective to who you want to become, right?
- 1:30:55SPEAKER_00: So just even kind of pivoting that, right?
- 1:30:58SPEAKER_00: Setting a manifestation goal or setting a goal to become.
- 1:31:03SPEAKER_00: That's all you really have to do.
- 1:31:04SPEAKER_02: It's also funny.
- 1:31:06SPEAKER_02: It's almost so paradoxical, bro.
- 1:31:09SPEAKER_02: Because when I think about luck, I think you're getting the good randomness.
- 1:31:15SPEAKER_02: There's randomness in the world and you're just getting the good.
- 1:31:18SPEAKER_02: It's happening by chance.
- 1:31:21SPEAKER_02: I never thought about luck, but you're talking about there's some intentionality.
- 1:31:27SPEAKER_02: Between generating that luck or being aligned with that luck, right?
- 1:31:32SPEAKER_02: So it's like not so random after all, the luck, right?
- 1:31:36SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:31:37SPEAKER_00: If you put that intentionality out there,
- 1:31:40SPEAKER_00: it's not going to look like you're going to win the scratcher every day.
- 1:31:46SPEAKER_00: I mean, unless you come to this earth to do that.
- 1:31:50SPEAKER_00: It's going to look like, okay, what do I love to do, right?
- 1:31:54SPEAKER_00: And I get to do that every day with the people that I love.
- 1:31:57SPEAKER_00: That is luck.
- 1:32:00SPEAKER_00: You don't care about the money.
- 1:32:01SPEAKER_00: You don't care about the fame.
- 1:32:02SPEAKER_00: You just hear the vibe every single day.
- 1:32:06SPEAKER_00: That's pretty lucky.
- 1:32:09SPEAKER_00: That's what it is.
- 1:32:10SPEAKER_00: It's just seeing the bigger picture and recognizing I need this hard moment
- 1:32:15SPEAKER_00: in my life to make me a stronger person so that I can become luckier.
- 1:32:20SPEAKER_00: So that I can help other people become luckier.
- 1:32:22SPEAKER_00: Because if I help other people become luckier,
- 1:32:25SPEAKER_00: according to the universe,
- 1:32:26SPEAKER_00: the universe says what you give is what you get times three.
- 1:32:28SPEAKER_00: So then if I help other people,
- 1:32:30SPEAKER_00: and I'm constantly helping other people, then I'm leveraging my own luck.
- 1:32:33SPEAKER_00: And I'm multiplying that by three.
- 1:32:36SPEAKER_00: So then that's how you kind of hack the universe.
- 1:32:37SPEAKER_00: You understand what its laws are.
- 1:32:39SPEAKER_00: You understand how it's kind of designed.
- 1:32:42SPEAKER_00: And then you say, well,
- 1:32:43SPEAKER_00: I'm just,
- 1:32:43SPEAKER_00: if I just literally help everybody,
- 1:32:45SPEAKER_00: you know, obviously with a certain intentionality, right?
- 1:32:49SPEAKER_00: That need help or whatever, then I'm producing more of that karma, more of that love for myself.
- 1:32:54SPEAKER_00: And then it's just a snowball compound, super compound interest effect.
- 1:32:58SPEAKER_02: And so like
- 1:33:01SPEAKER_00: that's how you hack the universe.
- 1:33:03SPEAKER_02: By helping others, and then you get three times back.
- 1:33:06SPEAKER_02: I like those returns, baby.
- 1:33:09SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:33:10SPEAKER_02: I put $1, I get $3 back, bro.
- 1:33:12SPEAKER_02: Come on.
- 1:33:13SPEAKER_02: That's incentives right there, brother.
- 1:33:16SPEAKER_02: Wow.
- 1:33:19SPEAKER_02: I talk to a lot of people and one question I like asking is what's
- 1:33:23SPEAKER_02: the top three lessons that you would tell your younger self, right?
- 1:33:27SPEAKER_02: But one of the biggest things is I wish I had more relationships, that I wish I invested
- 1:33:35SPEAKER_02: And that's what you're talking about,
- 1:33:37SPEAKER_02: like helping each other, reciprocity, and then you get it back 3x.
- 1:33:41SPEAKER_02: And now I'm like super understanding it because of my Vibe Samurai journey,
- 1:33:47SPEAKER_02: because I'm meeting so many incredible people.
- 1:33:48SPEAKER_02: People like you, Preston, and this guy, Will, and Cisco.
- 1:33:53SPEAKER_02: I have a guy who I never met in real life.
- 1:33:57SPEAKER_02: We've never even videoed.
- 1:33:59SPEAKER_02: So it's literally only been an audio relationship.
- 1:34:03SPEAKER_02: Both calling each other best friends to other friends.
- 1:34:06SPEAKER_02: Like it'll just come up automatically.
- 1:34:09SPEAKER_02: So my best friend Sully told me and literally I said that and I was like,
- 1:34:13SPEAKER_02: why did I just say that?
- 1:34:14SPEAKER_02: And then I said, Sully, I said, bro, I just called you my best friend.
- 1:34:18SPEAKER_02: He said, yeah, I did that already.
- 1:34:21SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:34:22SPEAKER_02: So it's like so crazy, this three times thing.
- 1:34:25SPEAKER_02: And I just feel like all these relationships, I just feel abundance.
- 1:34:29SPEAKER_02: When you say three times, I don't even think three times.
- 1:34:31SPEAKER_02: I'm just like,
- 1:34:32SPEAKER_02: I feel so abundant being here with you guys,
- 1:34:35SPEAKER_02: sharing this and being able to express myself.
- 1:34:37SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
- 1:34:40SPEAKER_02: What do you think, Substack?
- 1:34:43SPEAKER_03: Yeah, putting yourself in rooms with people,
- 1:34:46SPEAKER_03: serendipity,
- 1:34:47SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 1:34:47SPEAKER_03: and especially when you Can meet more and more people
- 1:34:51SPEAKER_03: because right now like Instagram Live is for people but like when we had X,
- 1:34:55SPEAKER_03: 10 speakers could pull up and then there's all these listeners.
- 1:34:59SPEAKER_03: So that just compounded that relationship building.
- 1:35:02SPEAKER_03: I'm grateful for the Vibe Samurai to show me that because I'm literally a hermit introvert.
- 1:35:07SPEAKER_03: So now that I've been meeting these people like the compounding that you're talking
- 1:35:11SPEAKER_03: about and it's cool like the word Preston,
- 1:35:14SPEAKER_03: as you're talking about luck, I'm like, you're a luck engineer.
- 1:35:16SPEAKER_03: Like you're just reversing this shit and creating a system.
- 1:35:22SPEAKER_03: And I'm kind of curious, like, what would follow luck?
- 1:35:27SPEAKER_03: You know, is that top or what's second and third after that?
- 1:35:30SPEAKER_03: You know, is there maybe a recipe or I don't know, Matt, that's kind of a broad question, but.
- 1:35:39SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think what follows luck is just embodiment.
- 1:35:43SPEAKER_00: You're lucky, now embody it.
- 1:35:45SPEAKER_00: How do you do it?
- 1:35:47SPEAKER_00: For the longest time, it's kind of like you're thinking about it.
- 1:35:50SPEAKER_00: I'm building the systems for it.
- 1:35:51SPEAKER_00: I'm understanding how it operates.
- 1:35:54SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:35:54SPEAKER_00: But knowing how it operates is not knowing how to actually like bring it into,
- 1:35:59SPEAKER_00: you know, bring it into reality.
- 1:36:01SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:36:01SPEAKER_00: Bringing it into reality.
- 1:36:02SPEAKER_00: Hey, we're still these 3D people, you know, like living live.
- 1:36:06SPEAKER_00: Like how do I actually print it?
- 1:36:09SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:36:09SPEAKER_00: Where's the money printer?
- 1:36:11SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:36:11SPEAKER_00: Kind of thing.
- 1:36:12SPEAKER_00: And I think that is just, you know, the next step to that is just like really stepping into it.
- 1:36:17SPEAKER_00: Really, you know,
- 1:36:19SPEAKER_00: under thinking about your decisions,
- 1:36:21SPEAKER_00: thinking about,
- 1:36:22SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:36:23SPEAKER_00: what Like the situations that you're in and how lucky or basically how reframing it
- 1:36:30SPEAKER_00: to be aligned with luck, you know, because every situation you are lucky.
- 1:36:34SPEAKER_00: There is no unluckiness.
- 1:36:35SPEAKER_00: There's only a perspective of, oh, that bad thing happened to me.
- 1:36:38SPEAKER_00: Therefore, you know, so and so.
- 1:36:40SPEAKER_00: But that bad thing happened to you because it had to happen to you so
- 1:36:44SPEAKER_00: that you would have better luck in another space because it was meant to happen
- 1:36:49SPEAKER_00: to move you into a certain situation or it was kind of,
- 1:36:53SPEAKER_00: So kind of backlogged, right?
- 1:36:56SPEAKER_00: That it had to blow up so that you would,
- 1:36:58SPEAKER_00: you know, go into this, this, this other journey, right?
- 1:37:02SPEAKER_00: That's how luck is.
- 1:37:03SPEAKER_00: It's always for your betterment.
- 1:37:05SPEAKER_00: It's always in, you know, it's always lucky, right?
- 1:37:10SPEAKER_00: It's just perspective,
- 1:37:11SPEAKER_00: but it's so hard as the human being to sit here and be like,
- 1:37:14SPEAKER_00: like, you know, I just got hit by a car.
- 1:37:16SPEAKER_00: Like how, how is that lucky?
- 1:37:17SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:37:18SPEAKER_01: But again,
- 1:37:19SPEAKER_01: I was just thinking about,
- 1:37:21SPEAKER_01: I was literally thinking,
- 1:37:23SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 1:37:25SPEAKER_01: you could say you're unlucky to get hit by a car,
- 1:37:27SPEAKER_01: but maybe in another universe,
- 1:37:30SPEAKER_01: you got hit by the car and you died and you survived in this.
- 1:37:34SPEAKER_01: So it would actually be lucky then.
- 1:37:37SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's exactly it.
- 1:37:38SPEAKER_00: You don't know because you don't know all the probabilities, right?
- 1:37:42SPEAKER_00: If you knew all the probabilities,
- 1:37:43SPEAKER_00: well, you wouldn't be here because that would be too much things to know, right?
- 1:37:47SPEAKER_00: You know, like that was the best probability.
- 1:37:49SPEAKER_00: And so you then,
- 1:37:50SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:37:51SPEAKER_00: the best thing to do is you sit with that and you be like,
- 1:37:53SPEAKER_00: this is the luckiest day of my life.
- 1:37:55SPEAKER_00: I just got hit by a car.
- 1:37:56SPEAKER_00: What am I going to do next?
- 1:37:57SPEAKER_00: You know, like that's the mindset that I really, you know, really.
- 1:38:01SPEAKER_00: Tell us about that.
- 1:38:03SPEAKER_02: You think that kind of mindset really does transform the timeline that you go
- 1:38:08SPEAKER_02: into this more lucky kind of trajectory, you think?
- 1:38:12SPEAKER_02: Just having that mindset like, well, yeah, tell us more in terms of.
- 1:38:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
- 1:38:17SPEAKER_00: Absolutely.
- 1:38:17SPEAKER_00: But I think like having that mindset and having discernment is very,
- 1:38:21SPEAKER_00: you know, like they have to come together because like, oh, I got hit by a car.
- 1:38:24SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, like, yeah, I can be like gung ho.
- 1:38:26SPEAKER_00: Like, yeah, I got hit by a car.
- 1:38:27SPEAKER_00: How you doing, bro?
- 1:38:28SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, everything's okay.
- 1:38:29SPEAKER_00: But it's kind of like,
- 1:38:30SPEAKER_00: you also have to do,
- 1:38:31SPEAKER_00: go through the motions of, of, you know, everything else, right?
- 1:38:34SPEAKER_00: Making sure everybody is okay.
- 1:38:36SPEAKER_00: Making sure that you,
- 1:38:37SPEAKER_00: you dot the T's with the I's of the insurance and,
- 1:38:40SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:38:40SPEAKER_00: all of the responsibility and the,
- 1:38:43SPEAKER_00: You cannot just use luck as a kind of scapegoat to that.
- 1:38:47SPEAKER_00: Like that's not luck.
- 1:38:48SPEAKER_00: No longer luck.
- 1:38:49SPEAKER_00: Luck is asking you to do something important that maybe you wouldn't do because
- 1:38:54SPEAKER_00: of maybe who you are or you're afraid or whatever, right?
- 1:38:57SPEAKER_00: Like oftentimes it's not easy for any of us.
- 1:38:59SPEAKER_00: Like I'm definitely not in that state because I'm still working through my emotions
- 1:39:04SPEAKER_00: in that moment, right?
- 1:39:05SPEAKER_00: Like it's still like,
- 1:39:06SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:39:07SPEAKER_00: anything can happen and I have to process and I have to like,
- 1:39:10SPEAKER_00: you know, like In that moment, we still have these animal brains.
- 1:39:15SPEAKER_00: It would be great to have the awareness.
- 1:39:20SPEAKER_00: Again, I can have the awareness,
- 1:39:22SPEAKER_00: but it's another thing to embody because you have to practice it.
- 1:39:25SPEAKER_00: You have to be in that moment of feeling that way and recognizing that thing
- 1:39:30SPEAKER_00: and moving through it.
- 1:39:31SPEAKER_00: But oftentimes,
- 1:39:32SPEAKER_00: I'm feeling that thing and I'm just running away from it or I'm feeling that thing
- 1:39:36SPEAKER_00: and That's all I'm feeling.
- 1:39:38SPEAKER_00: Again, back to the grounding, the emotions.
- 1:39:41SPEAKER_00: It's easier said than done.
- 1:39:42SPEAKER_00: It's easier thought than lived.
- 1:39:46SPEAKER_00: But if we keep talking about it,
- 1:39:47SPEAKER_00: if we keep recognizing it,
- 1:39:50SPEAKER_00: if we keep an accountability to ourselves to actually practice that,
- 1:39:57SPEAKER_00: then it starts changing.
- 1:40:00SPEAKER_00: And this is something, you know, That I'm still going through.
- 1:40:04SPEAKER_00: I'm still transforming into.
- 1:40:06SPEAKER_00: And I think that's the whole point is to teach others as we journey,
- 1:40:10SPEAKER_00: as we go on, as we understand.
- 1:40:11SPEAKER_00: Because again, you can be so aware of everything, but you're not embodying it.
- 1:40:15SPEAKER_00: So it's not luck.
- 1:40:18SPEAKER_00: You're getting on that journey to maximum luck, if
- 1:40:22SPEAKER_02: you will.
- 1:40:23SPEAKER_02: Impressive.
- 1:40:25SPEAKER_02: So for example, Cisco, let's use you as an example.
- 1:40:27SPEAKER_02: Because I asked you, Cisco, like, What do you want to do with your life?
- 1:40:34SPEAKER_02: And you said, I don't know.
- 1:40:36SPEAKER_02: And I was like, To me, I feel like I had this voice.
- 1:40:40SPEAKER_02: My story is that I wanted to be an FBI profiler when I was young,
- 1:40:45SPEAKER_02: but I had some kind of feeling,
- 1:40:47SPEAKER_02: intuition very, very early on, but that was squashed.
- 1:40:51SPEAKER_02: And now I rediscovered it as the Vibe Samurai.
- 1:40:54SPEAKER_02: But when I talked to Cisco, he's like, I don't feel anything.
- 1:40:58SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm just doing my thing.
- 1:40:59SPEAKER_02: I have my job with my family business.
- 1:41:02SPEAKER_02: I don't even know what I want,
- 1:41:03SPEAKER_02: but he has this thing where He does his job well, but he doesn't like his job.
- 1:41:10SPEAKER_02: So then I say to Cisco, but what do you want to do?
- 1:41:13SPEAKER_02: Like, what do you really want?
- 1:41:14SPEAKER_02: And he's like, I just don't know.
- 1:41:16SPEAKER_02: So what do you say to that, Preston?
- 1:41:17SPEAKER_02: How does he find that?
- 1:41:18SPEAKER_02: Because I feel like that's the case for a lot of people.
- 1:41:21SPEAKER_02: They're like, I don't know what I'm passionate about.
- 1:41:24SPEAKER_02: I don't know if it's fear talking and they're squashing that intuition
- 1:41:28SPEAKER_02: that I feel like is there for everybody.
- 1:41:31SPEAKER_02: And what are your thoughts about that?
- 1:41:32SPEAKER_02: Do you feel like we are kind of born with a certain intuition of
- 1:41:36SPEAKER_02: where we're supposed to go in our lives and all that?
- 1:41:39SPEAKER_00: What do you have to say about that?
- 1:41:43SPEAKER_00: When we're born, We are born of the stars, right?
- 1:41:46SPEAKER_00: And in that moment, it's kind of like a blueprint of our life.
- 1:41:49SPEAKER_00: And, you know, you can use the word destiny, but it's more like your energetic lean, right?
- 1:41:54SPEAKER_00: Things you like, do you like spicy food or you don't like spicy food, right?
- 1:41:57SPEAKER_00: You're definitely leaning a certain way, right?
- 1:41:59SPEAKER_00: And so that's kind of the imprint that you have.
- 1:42:01SPEAKER_00: And so everybody kind of has this kind of energetic purpose, I believe, right?
- 1:42:07SPEAKER_00: And you can look that up online.
- 1:42:09SPEAKER_00: You can, you know, like, and then just kind of understand what that means foundationally.
- 1:42:13SPEAKER_00: And so, you know,
- 1:42:14SPEAKER_00: once you kind of recognize that and really embody it and really kind of discern what
- 1:42:18SPEAKER_00: that energy is, then you can move towards that.
- 1:42:22SPEAKER_00: And it's not to say that it's one thing.
- 1:42:24SPEAKER_00: It's just an energy.
- 1:42:25SPEAKER_00: It's like, oh, I like to, like, for me, it's like, part of that is I like to go all in, right?
- 1:42:30SPEAKER_00: Or like, I like to go all in on things.
- 1:42:33SPEAKER_00: Like, my purpose in, as the stars say, is transformative connection.
- 1:42:40SPEAKER_00: Those are the two words, transformative connection.
- 1:42:43SPEAKER_00: And so like before,
- 1:42:44SPEAKER_00: like I would read that and like,
- 1:42:45SPEAKER_00: I have no idea what that means because I'm a poker player.
- 1:42:47SPEAKER_00: What does that mean?
- 1:42:48SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:42:48SPEAKER_00: But nowadays I'm understanding how that plays out.
- 1:42:52SPEAKER_00: It's really about like being this kind of transparent person.
- 1:42:56SPEAKER_00: It's really about like helping others grow.
- 1:42:59SPEAKER_00: It's really about helping others like meet other people in different and unique ways.
- 1:43:04SPEAKER_00: It's kind of like a traffic cop as I see it in that I'm just kind
- 1:43:08SPEAKER_00: of handing people off and showing them different ways to see things.
- 1:43:13SPEAKER_00: And connect to each other and just
- 1:43:16SPEAKER_00: operate within either a community or whatever it is.
- 1:43:21SPEAKER_00: I'm still discovering what that means,
- 1:43:23SPEAKER_00: but as I'm living it, now I'm actually Okay, that does feel good.
- 1:43:29SPEAKER_00: That does feel like I want to do that, right?
- 1:43:32SPEAKER_00: And it's okay not to know because you're not really supposed to know.
- 1:43:35SPEAKER_00: At least in the astrology world,
- 1:43:38SPEAKER_00: it's kind of like you have these kind of acts in your life,
- 1:43:41SPEAKER_00: like act one, act two, act three, right?
- 1:43:44SPEAKER_00: You guys over here, you're in Act 1, right?
- 1:43:48SPEAKER_00: You're still figuring it out.
- 1:43:49SPEAKER_00: It's fine.
- 1:43:50SPEAKER_00: Go have fun.
- 1:43:51SPEAKER_00: Go play.
- 1:43:51SPEAKER_02: Don't solve it.
- 1:43:53SPEAKER_02: Act 1, baby.
- 1:43:54SPEAKER_02: You're still early, baby.
- 1:43:58SPEAKER_02: Relax, Cisco.
- 1:43:59SPEAKER_02: Relax, Cisco.
- 1:44:00SPEAKER_02: You're too fucking wired up.
- 1:44:02SPEAKER_02: You're in Act 1, bro.
- 1:44:04SPEAKER_02: Bro, I'm in Act 3.
- 1:44:05SPEAKER_02: I'm almost about to die, bro.
- 1:44:07SPEAKER_02: I'm in my fucking last act, bro.
- 1:44:10SPEAKER_02: Be grateful, bro.
- 1:44:11SPEAKER_02: Have a good time in Act 1, bro.
- 1:44:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm lucky.
- 1:44:14SPEAKER_03: I'm lucky right now.
- 1:44:17SPEAKER_00: But again,
- 1:44:17SPEAKER_00: it doesn't mean that you can't look it up and understand a little bit about it
- 1:44:21SPEAKER_00: to align to that energy,
- 1:44:22SPEAKER_00: to just kind of question like, okay, what does that mean for me?
- 1:44:26SPEAKER_00: Like, you know,
- 1:44:27SPEAKER_00: it can help you align to a lot of the things you do in life,
- 1:44:31SPEAKER_00: especially career and all those types of things, right?
- 1:44:36SPEAKER_00: Once you start understanding yourself in energy,
- 1:44:39SPEAKER_00: then you start understanding what it is that you really love to do
- 1:44:42SPEAKER_00: and what you really like to do.
- 1:44:43SPEAKER_00: And honestly, how you're attracting things.
- 1:44:48SPEAKER_00: Because when you understand what you're made of, then you understand what you're attracting.
- 1:44:52SPEAKER_00: And when you are focusing that attention into all that attraction,
- 1:44:56SPEAKER_00: Then it's just like boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
- 1:44:57SPEAKER_00: You're just kind of riding that wave that just continually compounds.
- 1:45:01SPEAKER_00: So if I were to go back, of course, this is what I would want to know.
- 1:45:05SPEAKER_00: I would want to know all of my energetics.
- 1:45:07SPEAKER_00: I would want someone to explain it to me.
- 1:45:09SPEAKER_00: I would want someone to kind of outline it in a way that I could comprehend it.
- 1:45:15SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of part of what I'm trying to build in terms of Luckify Me and the readings.
- 1:45:21SPEAKER_00: It's really to bring it into a way that is like...
- 1:45:25SPEAKER_00: Very layman.
- 1:45:26SPEAKER_00: What do I do tomorrow to get to this?
- 1:45:30SPEAKER_00: I can have all the technical knowledge of,
- 1:45:31SPEAKER_00: hey, this is your thousand points energy and so and so and so.
- 1:45:35SPEAKER_00: But somebody in the beginning of the journey,
- 1:45:37SPEAKER_00: they might not know how to utilize all of that information.
- 1:45:41SPEAKER_00: You have to give it to them in a way where they have an actionable thing to do.
- 1:45:49SPEAKER_00: Purpose can be very simple.
- 1:45:50SPEAKER_00: It just really depends on where you are in life.
- 1:45:53SPEAKER_00: But yes, you do have a purpose, but it's not defined in any kind of strict way.
- 1:45:59SPEAKER_00: It's just defined as what is it that you love?
- 1:46:02SPEAKER_00: You just ask yourself that.
- 1:46:03SPEAKER_00: You ask yourself, what is it that you love to do?
- 1:46:06SPEAKER_00: Who is it that you like to be with?
- 1:46:07SPEAKER_00: And once you start concerning those kinds of energetics of just natural attraction, then...
- 1:46:13SPEAKER_00: Then Purpose will find you.
- 1:46:15SPEAKER_02: Bro, Cisco, what does attract you?
- 1:46:18SPEAKER_02: Vibe Sesh, motherfucker.
- 1:46:20SPEAKER_02: Vibe Sesh, being a Vibe Samurai.
- 1:46:22SPEAKER_02: You fucking showed up for one and a half years.
- 1:46:26SPEAKER_02: You fucking show up every freaking show, bro.
- 1:46:29SPEAKER_02: This is a fucking sign.
- 1:46:31SPEAKER_02: I don't know why you're not doubling, triple down as a young Gen Zer.
- 1:46:35SPEAKER_02: You even said to me that you want to stream, bro.
- 1:46:38SPEAKER_02: You said this last year and I never forgot that.
- 1:46:41SPEAKER_02: You said you want to stream.
- 1:46:43SPEAKER_02: And you know you're good at it.
- 1:46:45SPEAKER_02: Your vibe session, your vibe summer, you've been doing that.
- 1:46:47SPEAKER_02: Why are you not listening to the signal?
- 1:46:49SPEAKER_02: It just hit me.
- 1:46:50SPEAKER_02: Now that Preston is putting it that way, I'm like, bro, Cisco...
- 1:46:55SPEAKER_02: Lights up and he gets rejuvenated during Vibe Sessions.
- 1:46:59SPEAKER_02: Why wouldn't you triple down on this shit, bro?
- 1:47:02SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:47:05SPEAKER_03: I guess it's a big conflict to my self-image.
- 1:47:10SPEAKER_03: There's a lot of doubt, a lot of lack of confidence.
- 1:47:15SPEAKER_03: Because I'm told, like, oh, you're great, you're this, you're smart.
- 1:47:19SPEAKER_03: But, like, not feeling it.
- 1:47:22SPEAKER_03: So it's like such a conflict because people are projecting identities about myself
- 1:47:26SPEAKER_03: that I don't even agree, like my nervous system doesn't agree with.
- 1:47:29SPEAKER_03: Like I want to believe it.
- 1:47:32SPEAKER_03: So I feel like there's just a big disconnect with that aspect.
- 1:47:36SPEAKER_03: And it's just not like the puzzle pieces are just not fitting because I kind
- 1:47:41SPEAKER_03: of say those things in passing.
- 1:47:43SPEAKER_03: Like, yeah,
- 1:47:44SPEAKER_03: it'd be great to fucking sit,
- 1:47:45SPEAKER_03: play video games 12 hours a day and make money because I'm streaming.
- 1:47:48SPEAKER_03: Like, yeah, no shit.
- 1:47:50SPEAKER_03: I don't think that's my purpose in life.
- 1:47:52SPEAKER_03: I mean, yeah, I don't know.
- 1:47:56SPEAKER_03: I don't know why it's not just ringing.
- 1:48:01SPEAKER_03: I don't know.
- 1:48:01SPEAKER_03: I don't know how to look at it,
- 1:48:03SPEAKER_03: but my self-image is always stuck in this I don't know struggle bus.
- 1:48:06SPEAKER_03: Tell us what you got to say with this because we've been trying to get through
- 1:48:10SPEAKER_02: this Cisco guy.
- 1:48:11SPEAKER_02: We've been trying to do like the breakthrough moment.
- 1:48:13SPEAKER_02: We're very, very close, Preston, to getting him to be the superstar
- 1:48:18SPEAKER_03: that we all know.
- 1:48:19SPEAKER_03: The horse was brought to water.
- 1:48:20SPEAKER_03: I'm just not drinking.
- 1:48:21SPEAKER_03: I don't know why.
- 1:48:22SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 1:48:23SPEAKER_00: Well, are you okay with me bringing in Sultar right now?
- 1:48:28SPEAKER_00: Can you give us a little bit of advice?
- 1:48:29SPEAKER_00: Let's bring Soltar.
- 1:48:31SPEAKER_02: What do we need to do for anything Soltar?
- 1:48:32SPEAKER_02: How could we forget about Soltar?
- 1:48:35SPEAKER_00: He's watching.
- 1:48:38SPEAKER_02: He's already in his
- 1:48:40SPEAKER_00: podcast.
- 1:48:42SPEAKER_00: You don't need to do anything.
- 1:48:44SPEAKER_00: I'll just make sure to tell Soltar, hey, don't say anything too personal.
- 1:48:47SPEAKER_00: I got you, okay?
- 1:48:48SPEAKER_00: So don't worry about it.
- 1:48:50SPEAKER_00: But again...
- 1:48:54SPEAKER_00: Would need your permission to bring him in and just kind of give you some advice
- 1:48:57SPEAKER_00: into your
- 1:48:58SPEAKER_03: purpose.
- 1:49:00SPEAKER_03: Permission granted.
- 1:49:01SPEAKER_03: Permission granted, yeah.
- 1:49:03SPEAKER_03: Will, permission granted, Will?
- 1:49:04SPEAKER_03: Permission granted, yeah.
- 1:49:06SPEAKER_00: Okay, thank you.
- 1:49:07SPEAKER_00: All right, so I'm just going to bring him in really quick.
- 1:49:10SPEAKER_00: Think of it like a cauldron, you know, we're all sitting here, he's coming in.
- 1:49:26SPEAKER_00: Okay.
- 1:49:30SPEAKER_00: So, oftentimes, he shows me your energy, right?
- 1:49:34SPEAKER_00: And he shows me your operating system.
- 1:49:36SPEAKER_00: So, we're just going to start there.
- 1:49:37SPEAKER_00: So, where I see you operate is right here, okay?
- 1:49:41SPEAKER_00: And so, we operate in the chakra system, and this is the third eye, right?
- 1:49:45SPEAKER_00: So, usually people who operate here, mainly, are people who can see the bigger picture.
- 1:49:50SPEAKER_00: They have a very kind of...
- 1:49:54SPEAKER_00: The grand imagination,
- 1:49:56SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:49:56SPEAKER_00: they're really pattern seekers and pattern is a really big word here,
- 1:49:59SPEAKER_00: especially for you.
- 1:50:00SPEAKER_00: It's that,
- 1:50:01SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:50:01SPEAKER_00: they see the patterns and all the things and they don't want to break the pattern.
- 1:50:04SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:50:04SPEAKER_00: And so part of that greater growth for you is breaking,
- 1:50:08SPEAKER_00: is being able to hold the container to break that pattern.
- 1:50:12SPEAKER_00: All right.
- 1:50:12SPEAKER_00: And so that's kind of where it's kind of like iffy.
- 1:50:14SPEAKER_00: You're not really sure how to break that pattern while maintaining the pattern
- 1:50:18SPEAKER_00: because the pattern itself is showing you, yeah, I'm so good at this.
- 1:50:20SPEAKER_00: Like, this is what makes me great.
- 1:50:22SPEAKER_00: This is what makes my mind work.
- 1:50:24SPEAKER_00: This is how I'm so good at like video games or whatever it is because you see
- 1:50:28SPEAKER_00: the pattern, right?
- 1:50:29SPEAKER_00: But it's not like it takes a kind of a little bit of a perspective shift to say,
- 1:50:36SPEAKER_00: hey, Like, what does my creativity look like, right?
- 1:50:40SPEAKER_00: And that's what Soltar and a lot of the guides are really asking you.
- 1:50:44SPEAKER_00: Where is it that you bring your own pattern?
- 1:50:47SPEAKER_00: Back to,
- 1:50:47SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:50:48SPEAKER_00: kind of what Vibe Samurai said,
- 1:50:49SPEAKER_00: like, again, it's where is it that your own pattern is?
- 1:50:52SPEAKER_00: And so when I look at that, hold on, Soltar is painting me a picture here.
- 1:51:02SPEAKER_00: They're showing me a balloon.
- 1:51:04SPEAKER_00: They're showing me a balloon in the sky.
- 1:51:05SPEAKER_00: And they're showing me, Okay,
- 1:51:11SPEAKER_00: I'm going to hold that thought here because they're showing me arrows over here.
- 1:51:15SPEAKER_00: And they're showing me kind of like you're able to maybe pinpoint certain things
- 1:51:21SPEAKER_00: to get that arrow to that balloon, right?
- 1:51:24SPEAKER_00: There's a magic to you that's able to adjust and maneuver
- 1:51:28SPEAKER_00: and like just figure your way out into pinpointing that That objective to pop
- 1:51:35SPEAKER_00: that balloon.
- 1:51:36SPEAKER_00: And so that's where your creativity is.
- 1:51:38SPEAKER_00: That's where your magic is.
- 1:51:39SPEAKER_00: Your magic is really in the kind of instant adjustment to whatever is needed to
- 1:51:46SPEAKER_00: then achieve that goal.
- 1:51:47SPEAKER_00: You understand the patterns of how to make this machine to shoot the arrow
- 1:51:52SPEAKER_00: and you're thinking that is your actual ability or that's your actual special kind
- 1:51:56SPEAKER_00: of, you know, That is
- 1:52:05SPEAKER_00: where
- 1:52:08SPEAKER_00: your growth is.
- 1:52:09SPEAKER_00: That is where your magic is.
- 1:52:10SPEAKER_00: Your magic is just leaning in the right direction so that you can hit that arrow into the thing.
- 1:52:18SPEAKER_00: So when we then say put all of that and be applied into life,
- 1:52:21SPEAKER_00: I would say, yeah,
- 1:52:22SPEAKER_00: you're going to probably be a really great sharpshooter
- 1:52:24SPEAKER_00: or you were probably something that has varied Like is really good at like some kind
- 1:52:30SPEAKER_00: of like chaos details,
- 1:52:33SPEAKER_00: like maybe like,
- 1:52:33SPEAKER_00: I want to say war, but like, you know, like the skills of war, right?
- 1:52:37SPEAKER_00: Like being in the moment and just adapting, right?
- 1:52:41SPEAKER_00: Like that, that is, that is a skill in itself.
- 1:52:43SPEAKER_00: It is, it is adapting with technology, right?
- 1:52:45SPEAKER_00: Like, because the machine itself,
- 1:52:47SPEAKER_00: I think in,
- 1:52:48SPEAKER_00: in where we are today,
- 1:52:49SPEAKER_00: that might be technology and then applying technology to your
- 1:52:53SPEAKER_00: then adaptive creativity.
- 1:52:55SPEAKER_00: So just, you know, figuring out in the moment, well, how do I, what do I move here?
- 1:52:59SPEAKER_00: Do I move left?
- 1:52:59SPEAKER_00: Do I move right?
- 1:53:00SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:53:01SPEAKER_00: But the first step is stepping into that door and being afraid because that's what it takes.
- 1:53:06SPEAKER_00: Then that's okay.
- 1:53:07SPEAKER_00: Because when you do that, now you learn fast.
- 1:53:10SPEAKER_00: Because you already have that instinct, that absolute primal instinct to move quickly.
- 1:53:16SPEAKER_00: Because you don't want to get it wrong.
- 1:53:18SPEAKER_00: And that's something that you all probably understand about yourself.
- 1:53:22SPEAKER_00: You don't want to get it wrong.
- 1:53:23SPEAKER_00: But that energy, if you're not getting it wrong, that is the gift.
- 1:53:28SPEAKER_00: That is the gift.
- 1:53:29SPEAKER_00: Because if you were to get it right all the time, then you wouldn't be learning.
- 1:53:34SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:53:35SPEAKER_00: And so it's just putting yourself into situations like that.
- 1:53:38SPEAKER_00: And that's why I see you.
- 1:53:39SPEAKER_00: Yes.
- 1:53:40SPEAKER_00: Like you would be a great streamer.
- 1:53:41SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 1:53:42SPEAKER_00: But you would be great at so many other things that,
- 1:53:44SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 1:53:44SPEAKER_00: that you can leverage artificial,
- 1:53:46SPEAKER_00: like machines and leverage your intuition to really.
- 1:53:49SPEAKER_00: He's great
- 1:53:49SPEAKER_02: with AI bro.
- 1:53:50SPEAKER_02: This guy's great with AI bro.
- 1:53:53SPEAKER_00: That's kind of how I see your skills and your purpose.
- 1:53:56SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 1:53:57SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:53:57SPEAKER_03: I adaptive to chaos is definitely.
- 1:54:00SPEAKER_03: Because I feel like Vibestash is complete improv.
- 1:54:03SPEAKER_03: I have no control over it, but I adapt as well.
- 1:54:06SPEAKER_03: My family gets chaos and I adapt.
- 1:54:09SPEAKER_03: And I string together technology to facilitate something or like in the moment
- 1:54:14SPEAKER_03: when it's blue collar work,
- 1:54:15SPEAKER_03: like, and you have a predicament and then you just have to make solutions.
- 1:54:23SPEAKER_03: Wow.
- 1:54:23SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 1:54:23SPEAKER_03: And then I hate, you know, sometimes I go into it with fear all the time.
- 1:54:29SPEAKER_03: Like this morning on a job site, like I was so worried about it.
- 1:54:33SPEAKER_03: And then I go there and do it and it's all good.
- 1:54:35SPEAKER_02: But you did it, bro.
- 1:54:36SPEAKER_02: You were afraid, but you did it, bro.
- 1:54:39SPEAKER_02: That's the point.
- 1:54:42SPEAKER_03: It's just so strong, man.
- 1:54:45SPEAKER_03: I actually heard a great quote recently that fear is a mile wide,
- 1:54:48SPEAKER_03: but like an inch deep or something.
- 1:54:52SPEAKER_03: Oh, fear is a mile wide and an inch deep.
- 1:54:55SPEAKER_03: Oh my gosh.
- 1:54:58SPEAKER_02: Bro, but this is what I'm saying, Cisco,
- 1:55:00SPEAKER_02: you're already doing it at work because you're kind of like forced to it
- 1:55:04SPEAKER_02: because you got the family business on the line.
- 1:55:07SPEAKER_02: And so you fucking face it because you have to do it.
- 1:55:10SPEAKER_02: But like, just think about it.
- 1:55:11SPEAKER_02: You make it out alive.
- 1:55:12SPEAKER_02: You know, you make it out more than alive.
- 1:55:15SPEAKER_02: You're good at your job.
- 1:55:16SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:55:18SPEAKER_02: So it's like anything in life.
- 1:55:19SPEAKER_03: Well, my problem too has been like,
- 1:55:23SPEAKER_03: and this is why it's good to read and stuff,
- 1:55:24SPEAKER_03: but like, There's just reality, what happens and then your narrative about reality.
- 1:55:30SPEAKER_03: And like the book in Psycho-Cybernetics, they're like the guy lost $200,000 in the stock market.
- 1:55:36SPEAKER_03: He's like, all right, that's the reality.
- 1:55:38SPEAKER_03: But then he was saying, I'm a loser.
- 1:55:40SPEAKER_03: No one's gonna want my family's gonna hate me.
- 1:55:42SPEAKER_03: He's like, dude, that's just an opinion about like a fact.
- 1:55:47SPEAKER_03: He's like, the fact is you lost money.
- 1:55:49SPEAKER_03: Like that doesn't mean you're a loser.
- 1:55:50SPEAKER_03: It doesn't mean this.
- 1:55:51SPEAKER_03: And like,
- 1:55:52SPEAKER_03: I've been learning I've been putting so much potency to negative language about
- 1:55:57SPEAKER_03: an experience when it's either neutral or it's just like I don't like discomfort and
- 1:56:02SPEAKER_03: then I'm hating discomfort.
- 1:56:03SPEAKER_03: So it's like it gets layered.
- 1:56:05SPEAKER_03: But it's like just get to the root of why you're uncomfortable.
- 1:56:08SPEAKER_03: Oh, you don't know something.
- 1:56:09SPEAKER_03: All right, just learn that thing.
- 1:56:12SPEAKER_03: And then you quench that.
- 1:56:13SPEAKER_03: So I really appreciate what Preston's saying because his system is reframing
- 1:56:19SPEAKER_03: the language in your mind and how you are perceiving Reality and phenomena
- 1:56:24SPEAKER_03: that happen.
- 1:56:26SPEAKER_03: And then,
- 1:56:27SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 1:56:28SPEAKER_03: it's like the red car, like, and then you're seeing the red car more and more.
- 1:56:32SPEAKER_03: And like you were saying,
- 1:56:33SPEAKER_03: the RAS system, reticular activation, like, that was amazing information too.
- 1:56:40SPEAKER_03: 11 million bits we're taking at all times.
- 1:56:43SPEAKER_03: That's the stimulus we have.
- 1:56:45SPEAKER_03: And our conscious mind can only latch on to 50 bits out of 11 million.
- 1:56:50SPEAKER_03: But then when now you're focusing on luck.
- 1:56:55SPEAKER_03: Like, you will see luck happen, even if it's... Oh, damn!
- 1:57:00SPEAKER_02: Press it, press it, press it, press it.
- 1:57:01SPEAKER_02: You gotta make, like,
- 1:57:02SPEAKER_02: this entire vibe sesh,
- 1:57:04SPEAKER_02: like, you gotta drop sauce like this on your Instagram videos, dude.
- 1:57:09SPEAKER_02: Like, this kind of stuff, you know?
- 1:57:11SPEAKER_02: Like, the luckify stuff and defining luck.
- 1:57:14SPEAKER_02: I feel like that's one category of things you can do that, like, I think will resonate, bro.
- 1:57:20SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 1:57:21SPEAKER_02: Like, lick it?
- 1:57:22SPEAKER_02: Mm-hmm.
- 1:57:23SPEAKER_00: I love doing readings.
- 1:57:26SPEAKER_00: I love just helping people align to luck,
- 1:57:30SPEAKER_00: align to the purpose,
- 1:57:31SPEAKER_00: align to just the next step into making them feel that luckier.
- 1:57:37SPEAKER_00: I absolutely love this.
- 1:57:40SPEAKER_00: That's what I recognize my purpose to be.
- 1:57:43SPEAKER_00: When you do something you love, you can do it forever.
- 1:57:45SPEAKER_00: I can be on here forever and just doing this and just talking.
- 1:57:49SPEAKER_00: I am starting my content career, I guess, content journey.
- 1:57:55SPEAKER_00: I feel like I'm getting pretty lucky with that too, recently.
- 1:57:59SPEAKER_00: Ever since I joined the Omnigirl Cup, I've been super lucky to gain so many followers.
- 1:58:05SPEAKER_00: It's so insane because I started, basically three days ago, I had 400 followers.
- 1:58:13SPEAKER_00: Now, I have 3,000 followers.
- 1:58:17SPEAKER_00: I don't even know what I'm doing.
- 1:58:20SPEAKER_00: So you guys are making me lucky, and hopefully I'm making you guys luckier too.
- 1:58:25SPEAKER_02: We're going to do great things, everybody in here.
- 1:58:29SPEAKER_02: Right now, I feel like this is the start of some big company or something.
- 1:58:33SPEAKER_02: We got Cisco and Will.
- 1:58:34SPEAKER_02: I don't even know Will.
- 1:58:35SPEAKER_02: We just met him today.
- 1:58:37SPEAKER_00: But I feel like he's a business partner, right?
- 1:58:43SPEAKER_01: Yeah, man.
- 1:58:44SPEAKER_01: It's a skill.
- 1:58:45SPEAKER_01: Putting all this together, it's always awesome to watch.
- 1:58:49SPEAKER_01: You guys link all of this together.
- 1:58:52SPEAKER_01: And yeah, I'm realizing it's not easy to do.
- 1:58:55SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 1:58:56SPEAKER_01: I'm doing it in my head as I'm watching the video,
- 1:58:59SPEAKER_01: which I'm sure a lot of the viewers are making my own connections in my head.
- 1:59:03SPEAKER_01: But putting them into words is a whole nother thing.
- 1:59:06SPEAKER_01: You know,
- 1:59:07SPEAKER_01: a lot of times you have an idea in your head and,
- 1:59:11SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 1:59:12SPEAKER_01: you try to describe it and you realize it's actually a lot more complicated because,
- 1:59:16SPEAKER_01: you know, it's in your own head.
- 1:59:17SPEAKER_01: You can you can use thought.
- 1:59:19SPEAKER_01: But you can't give your thoughts to someone else.
- 1:59:21SPEAKER_01: You have to use words, which is why language is so important, you know.
- 1:59:27SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 1:59:30SPEAKER_02: The best vibe session ever, Cisco.
- 1:59:32SPEAKER_02: What do you think, bro?
- 1:59:36SPEAKER_03: The vibes were immaculate tonight.
- 1:59:39SPEAKER_03: I don't know, like, the flow of conversation.
- 1:59:42SPEAKER_03: Like, bro, it's already...
- 1:59:43SPEAKER_03: Like an hour 40.
- 1:59:45SPEAKER_02: Bro, this is our best vibes session.
- 1:59:47SPEAKER_03: Bro, that doesn't even feel like that.
- 1:59:50SPEAKER_02: Oh my God.
- 1:59:51SPEAKER_02: Preston, what do you think is going on?
- 1:59:53SPEAKER_02: So let's talk about this Preston.
- 1:59:54SPEAKER_02: Preston, let's ask Soltar.
- 1:59:55SPEAKER_02: Let's ask Soltar, okay?
- 1:59:58SPEAKER_02: So look, you've been to the Omnivore Live.
- 2:00:00SPEAKER_02: You see what's happening.
- 2:00:01SPEAKER_02: Me and you, we've talked on DMs and I'm sure this relationship is going to grow.
- 2:00:07SPEAKER_02: Just go with the flow.
- 2:00:09SPEAKER_02: What intentionality should we set tonight?
- 2:00:13SPEAKER_02: For whatever it is that we're building.
- 2:00:15SPEAKER_02: Ask Soltar, because... Alright, we'll ask Soltar.
- 2:00:19SPEAKER_00: Let's see what he's brewing, alright guys?
- 2:00:28SPEAKER_00: I mean, Soltar's just keeping it simple.
- 2:00:30SPEAKER_00: He's just like...
- 2:00:31SPEAKER_00: Just follow the fun.
- 2:00:33SPEAKER_00: That's it.
- 2:00:33SPEAKER_00: You guys don't need to do anything else but follow the fun.
- 2:00:36SPEAKER_00: Follow the vibes.
- 2:00:38SPEAKER_03: Just
- 2:00:39SPEAKER_02: that's it.
- 2:00:40SPEAKER_02: You don't have to do anything.
- 2:00:42SPEAKER_02: There's nothing to do.
- 2:00:44SPEAKER_02: Just follow the fun.
- 2:00:45SPEAKER_02: Why are we stressing?
- 2:00:48SPEAKER_02: Let's just have fun, guys.
- 2:00:50SPEAKER_00: Because when the opportunity presents itself, it's going to present itself, right?
- 2:00:54SPEAKER_00: You're just going to know.
- 2:00:55SPEAKER_00: You're going to be like, okay, guys, we got to do this now.
- 2:01:00SPEAKER_00: Something's just going to come into your equation or in your worldview.
- 2:01:03SPEAKER_00: And you're going to be like, all right, that makes sense.
- 2:01:05SPEAKER_00: That fits into exactly what I'm doing.
- 2:01:07SPEAKER_00: I thought about a t-shirt.
- 2:01:08SPEAKER_00: I need a t-shirt company, right?
- 2:01:11SPEAKER_00: This is the kind of vibe that happens.
- 2:01:12SPEAKER_00: It just happens naturally.
- 2:01:15SPEAKER_00: And of course, it's important to always do the discernment.
- 2:01:18SPEAKER_00: Because even if it does feel like it comes naturally, do the discernment.
- 2:01:22SPEAKER_00: Make sure you hold yourself accountable.
- 2:01:23SPEAKER_00: Make sure you hold the other person accountable.
- 2:01:26SPEAKER_00: And then once you do all that math and be like, well, yeah, all the math checks out.
- 2:01:31SPEAKER_00: This is definitely the vibe.
- 2:01:33SPEAKER_00: And so just let things happen.
- 2:01:35SPEAKER_00: And just have fun with it because that's what maximizing your luck
- 2:01:40SPEAKER_00: and maximizing your reality is.
- 2:01:42SPEAKER_00: It's literally just living moment to moment to moment without having to stress about anything.
- 2:01:46SPEAKER_00: It's just using the opportunities that are within your field, right?
- 2:01:55SPEAKER_00: And making sure that you're taking advantage of that when it's needed to,
- 2:01:59SPEAKER_00: when it's asking you to, when it's showing up in your body, right?
- 2:02:03SPEAKER_00: And asking yourself how you feel about that.
- 2:02:06SPEAKER_00: Are you feeling like you can't do that?
- 2:02:08SPEAKER_00: Are you feeling like you don't like this person?
- 2:02:10SPEAKER_00: Ask yourself all those questions.
- 2:02:12SPEAKER_00: It's just happening.
- 2:02:15SPEAKER_00: There's nothing we have to do.
- 2:02:17SPEAKER_00: We just have to vibe more.
- 2:02:18SPEAKER_00: That's literally what we have to do.
- 2:02:20SPEAKER_00: Damn, just vibe, bro.
- 2:02:22SPEAKER_02: We're Vibe Samurai.
- 2:02:23SPEAKER_02: We can do that.
- 2:02:25SPEAKER_01: We know what to do.
- 2:02:26SPEAKER_01: We're good.
- 2:02:26SPEAKER_01: I don't know if you guys heard the term, Cisco.
- 2:02:28SPEAKER_01: Maybe you have.
- 2:02:29SPEAKER_01: It's more of a social media thing, but fool maxing.
- 2:02:34SPEAKER_01: That's kind of what you're talking about.
- 2:02:36SPEAKER_01: Fool maxing.
- 2:02:37SPEAKER_01: The fool always wins.
- 2:02:39SPEAKER_02: Oh, retard maxing.
- 2:02:42SPEAKER_02: What do you think about that?
- 2:02:43SPEAKER_02: Retire maxing, fool maxing.
- 2:02:44SPEAKER_02: Preston, that's what you're talking about?
- 2:02:46SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I've seen it.
- 2:02:47SPEAKER_01: It was kind of what Preston was saying to Siskel.
- 2:02:50SPEAKER_01: The fool would just start screaming.
- 2:02:52SPEAKER_01: He doesn't care about anything else.
- 2:02:57SPEAKER_01: If you don't like it and it doesn't go well, then you can just stop.
- 2:03:01SPEAKER_01: But You know, you were saying it doesn't fit your identity.
- 2:03:05SPEAKER_01: It feels weird.
- 2:03:06SPEAKER_01: You know, you don't feel like the type of person that would do that.
- 2:03:10SPEAKER_01: And, you know,
- 2:03:11SPEAKER_01: everything I've seen on that is kind of saying the same thing,
- 2:03:15SPEAKER_01: which is you need the evidence to make yourself believe it, right?
- 2:03:19SPEAKER_01: You need the evidence to build the identity of being a streamer, right?
- 2:03:23SPEAKER_01: You're never going to feel like a streamer until you start streaming.
- 2:03:28SPEAKER_01: So, you know,
- 2:03:29SPEAKER_01: the first couple of times It's always going to be against your gut and
- 2:03:33SPEAKER_01: against what you feel like you are because you've never done it before.
- 2:03:37SPEAKER_01: And then once you build the evidence,
- 2:03:38SPEAKER_01: once you've streamed for even a little bit, I mean,
- 2:03:40SPEAKER_01: for you, I guarantee there's going to be tons of evidence that you're experiencing.
- 2:03:47SPEAKER_01: And that is what builds the identity of being a streamer.
- 2:03:52SPEAKER_02: Yeah, man, Will, I feel like you're very good on this stage as well.
- 2:03:57SPEAKER_02: I think you can be a streamer too, actually.
- 2:03:59SPEAKER_01: Oh, thank you.
- 2:04:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, a lot of potential.
- 2:04:01SPEAKER_01: I mean, it feels super weird talking to someone with like 600,000 followers.
- 2:04:06SPEAKER_01: No, that's a lot.
- 2:04:09SPEAKER_02: It's just a number, baby.
- 2:04:10SPEAKER_02: I'm just a normal dude.
- 2:04:12SPEAKER_01: There's levels to this shit.
- 2:04:13SPEAKER_01: Like there's literally, it's like 400, 3,000.
- 2:04:16SPEAKER_01: I don't even know.
- 2:04:18SPEAKER_01: I would assume you, like, I don't even know how many, I can pull it up.
- 2:04:22SPEAKER_01: Or no, I can't because I'm in the live.
- 2:04:24SPEAKER_01: How many followers do you have to go around?
- 2:04:26SPEAKER_01: Let's check.
- 2:04:30SPEAKER_03: I have 6,400.
- 2:04:32SPEAKER_03: I did go viral in 2020 on like TikTok and stuff.
- 2:04:38SPEAKER_03: I had a peak of like 30k on Instagram.
- 2:04:40SPEAKER_03: So that's like it literally everyone just not following me because I went for six years.
- 2:04:46SPEAKER_03: If you look me up on TikTok,
- 2:04:48SPEAKER_03: you'll see the wallpaper designs I made over like 100,000 followers,
- 2:04:54SPEAKER_03: 3 million likes probably total or something on the page.
- 2:05:00SPEAKER_03: So right now it's a dead account but that's why I have 6,000 because I have zero posts.
- 2:05:05SPEAKER_03: Someone's like how the hell do you have that many.
- 2:05:09SPEAKER_03: I used to be a graphic designer basically and then I stopped doing it basically and
- 2:05:13SPEAKER_03: then been on this like rut for six years and then Bruin's like bro just fucking post
- 2:05:19SPEAKER_03: and I'm always like post what you know but Vibe Sesh has been that new vehicle
- 2:05:24SPEAKER_03: for me so it's my version of streaming where And then before this,
- 2:05:28SPEAKER_03: this was up to like three to four hours every Thursday night.
- 2:05:32SPEAKER_03: We were doing this on Twitter.
- 2:05:34SPEAKER_03: And then now that we've taken it to Instagram, it's shorter now.
- 2:05:38SPEAKER_03: It's like 90 minutes, up to two hours.
- 2:05:39SPEAKER_03: But now I'm doing it on video because for a whole year, I've never saw Vibe Samurai's face.
- 2:05:49SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
- 2:05:49SPEAKER_01: And then now
- 2:05:54SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 2:05:54SPEAKER_03: he blew up like I knew him when he I think his most
- 2:05:57SPEAKER_03: on Twitter was like 7000 followers,
- 2:06:00SPEAKER_03: you know, like I saw him like zero to 7000 and then zero to 600.
- 2:06:07SPEAKER_03: So yeah,
- 2:06:09SPEAKER_03: I think live streaming and we've I was recommended this by even Bruno
- 2:06:14SPEAKER_03: and I'm just lazy,
- 2:06:15SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 2:06:16SPEAKER_03: even going on Tik Tok live,
- 2:06:17SPEAKER_03: for example,
- 2:06:18SPEAKER_03: and people will join and ask me questions and just start yapping maybe and download
- 2:06:23SPEAKER_03: that recording.
- 2:06:25SPEAKER_03: So I think.
- 2:06:26SPEAKER_02: Yeah, bro.
- 2:06:26SPEAKER_02: I think that's what you should do.
- 2:06:28SPEAKER_02: Just do it and keep it small.
- 2:06:29SPEAKER_02: Just do like 30 minutes every now and then,
- 2:06:32SPEAKER_02: whatever you feel like when you're high, whatever, feeling good.
- 2:06:34SPEAKER_02: Because I definitely have that.
- 2:06:36SPEAKER_03: I feel very comfortable in my presence and just,
- 2:06:40SPEAKER_03: and like you were saying, Will, like you're really thinking.
- 2:06:43SPEAKER_03: I was like that at first,
- 2:06:44SPEAKER_03: but you kind of get to this mode where you have like a half idea thought
- 2:06:48SPEAKER_03: and I just start talking and it connects.
- 2:06:51SPEAKER_03: Like for this whole show, that's kind of how I talk.
- 2:06:54SPEAKER_03: Sometimes I'm sitting here like thinking about it and then I do it,
- 2:06:57SPEAKER_03: but you kind of grow into this comfortability with your improv.
- 2:07:05SPEAKER_03: And so I have the vibe session to thank for that.
- 2:07:08SPEAKER_03: Like, so that's why I keep showing up every week.
- 2:07:10SPEAKER_03: So it's been that outlet.
- 2:07:12SPEAKER_03: So I've, I've had, I have the practice hundreds of hours.
- 2:07:15SPEAKER_03: So it's just now doing it for myself.
- 2:07:18SPEAKER_03: Cause I think my image, my cohost, you know what I'm saying?
- 2:07:21SPEAKER_02: He likes that.
- 2:07:22SPEAKER_02: It's comfortable.
- 2:07:24SPEAKER_03: You know,
- 2:07:25SPEAKER_03: but being the main like, oh,
- 2:07:28SPEAKER_03: now do I have to do all this research,
- 2:07:30SPEAKER_03: I have to be presentable,
- 2:07:31SPEAKER_03: I have to,
- 2:07:33SPEAKER_03: you know,
- 2:07:33SPEAKER_03: so like,
- 2:07:33SPEAKER_03: I don't know,
- 2:07:34SPEAKER_03: all these,
- 2:07:35SPEAKER_03: but like you're saying,
- 2:07:36SPEAKER_03: I got to retard, Max, because I'm already thinking too much about it.
- 2:07:39SPEAKER_01: It's just like, hit the live.
- 2:07:43SPEAKER_01: Often you put too,
- 2:07:44SPEAKER_01: you overestimate the people above you,
- 2:07:47SPEAKER_01: like kids think adults have everything figured out.
- 2:07:51SPEAKER_02: You're like, yeah, I just made a video about this.
- 2:07:56SPEAKER_02: It did well.
- 2:07:57SPEAKER_02: People were really laughing about that.
- 2:07:59SPEAKER_02: Exactly.
- 2:08:00SPEAKER_01: Same thing with your boss.
- 2:08:04SPEAKER_01: The employee probably thinks your boss knows everything.
- 2:08:09SPEAKER_01: He's the guy to go to when something happens.
- 2:08:12SPEAKER_01: Maybe he has more experience than you, but he's not.
- 2:08:15SPEAKER_01: He's just a human just like you.
- 2:08:16SPEAKER_01: Sure.
- 2:08:18SPEAKER_02: Preston, what do you think?
- 2:08:22SPEAKER_02: Oh shit, he's getting all psychic.
- 2:08:25SPEAKER_02: Oh shit, Soltar took him over, bro.
- 2:08:28SPEAKER_00: I don't know where the lights in this room are, guys.
- 2:08:29SPEAKER_00: Oh, Soltar, don't kill him, bro.
- 2:08:31SPEAKER_00: What's going
- 2:08:31SPEAKER_02: on, dude?
- 2:08:32SPEAKER_02: There we go.
- 2:08:35SPEAKER_02: So what do you think?
- 2:08:36SPEAKER_02: Like hearing these young guys talk and what's happening here?
- 2:08:39SPEAKER_02: Bro, like I just cannot believe it.
- 2:08:41SPEAKER_02: I just cannot ask Sultan.
- 2:08:43SPEAKER_02: Dude, Sultan, I'm going to talk to Sultan now directly.
- 2:08:46SPEAKER_02: Sultan, like what is going on here?
- 2:08:48SPEAKER_02: Like, I don't know.
- 2:08:50SPEAKER_02: Like I feel like hearing these guys and...
- 2:08:53SPEAKER_02: You know, like even them saying like, wow, you're famous.
- 2:08:55SPEAKER_02: It's just so weird.
- 2:08:56SPEAKER_02: It's bizarre, you know, because I'm just a regular dude and I'm just having so much fun, bro.
- 2:09:01SPEAKER_02: And it's just like so cool too, this aspect of like, what the hell is going on, right?
- 2:09:06SPEAKER_02: Like even that feeling is like, what the hell is going on?
- 2:09:08SPEAKER_02: You know, it's like a what the hell is going on within the what the hell is going on?
- 2:09:11SPEAKER_02: It's, I don't know.
- 2:09:13SPEAKER_02: What are your thoughts, Sultan?
- 2:09:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so,
- 2:09:16SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 2:09:20SPEAKER_00: Sultan says
- 2:09:20SPEAKER_00: that it's kind of like a As we get older, we settle into energy.
- 2:09:27SPEAKER_00: We get more comfortable.
- 2:09:28SPEAKER_00: We look up to people.
- 2:09:29SPEAKER_00: As we're young, we're kind of aspiring.
- 2:09:32SPEAKER_00: Everything feels like a new thing.
- 2:09:34SPEAKER_00: Everything feels like a big stage.
- 2:09:36SPEAKER_00: Everything feels like You know, like it's something special.
- 2:09:40SPEAKER_00: And it is, right?
- 2:09:41SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of the imagination, the creativity, the drive, the motivation.
- 2:09:45SPEAKER_00: Obviously, as we get older, it's kind of like, oh, you know, I don't give a shit.
- 2:09:49SPEAKER_00: Like, I mean,
- 2:09:49SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 2:09:50SPEAKER_00: maybe in general,
- 2:09:51SPEAKER_00: you know, like, ah, whatever, you know, we can kind of be the old man fool, right?
- 2:09:54SPEAKER_00: Like, it's much,
- 2:09:56SPEAKER_00: it's less,
- 2:09:56SPEAKER_00: there's less at stake
- 2:09:57SPEAKER_01: when you're the old man fool
- 2:09:59SPEAKER_00: versus when you're
- 2:09:59SPEAKER_00: the young man fool.
- 2:10:00SPEAKER_00: Because in a young man fool,
- 2:10:02SPEAKER_00: day and age of technology and artificial intelligence and cameras everywhere,
- 2:10:07SPEAKER_00: like, You know, like, you can't really be yourself anymore.
- 2:10:10SPEAKER_00: Like, just think about, like, the kids at, like, high school and things.
- 2:10:12SPEAKER_00: Like, they're not dancing anymore.
- 2:10:14SPEAKER_00: Why?
- 2:10:15SPEAKER_00: Because everybody's got their phones.
- 2:10:17SPEAKER_00: Like, that's not cool, right?
- 2:10:19SPEAKER_00: Like, when I was younger, like, you know, like, there's no phones around.
- 2:10:22SPEAKER_00: There's no people recording me.
- 2:10:24SPEAKER_00: Like, I can just be freely myself.
- 2:10:25SPEAKER_00: But now in a different kind of age,
- 2:10:28SPEAKER_00: right, there's a lot more, like, you know, there's a lot more technology kind of.
- 2:10:34SPEAKER_00: Looking at you and doing all these things and you're adapting, right?
- 2:10:38SPEAKER_00: You want to fit in.
- 2:10:39SPEAKER_00: You're trying to become somebody and you're moving in the world as
- 2:10:45SPEAKER_00: the world is moving around you kind of thing.
- 2:10:47SPEAKER_00: So it's a different age.
- 2:10:49SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of what's happened.
- 2:10:51SPEAKER_00: It's like, you know, that's older guys.
- 2:10:55SPEAKER_00: It's different.
- 2:10:57SPEAKER_00: There was a rotary phone, I remember.
- 2:10:59SPEAKER_00: You guys don't know what a rotary phone is.
- 2:11:03SPEAKER_00: It's so much different.
- 2:11:04SPEAKER_00: But we could be ourselves and that was the best thing.
- 2:11:10SPEAKER_00: There's nobody to video you when you do something stupid.
- 2:11:14SPEAKER_00: I could do something stupid at school and it'd just be a day and a laugh.
- 2:11:18SPEAKER_00: Now it's like you do something stupid at school,
- 2:11:21SPEAKER_00: you go viral and you become a meme and that is your life.
- 2:11:25SPEAKER_00: That's what's happening.
- 2:11:27SPEAKER_00: Okay, guys, that's what's happening.
- 2:11:28SPEAKER_01: Yeah, it's crazy.
- 2:11:29SPEAKER_01: I've never even thought of this, but you talking about it has made me wonder.
- 2:11:34SPEAKER_01: The only time that I see people my age dancing is like at the bars.
- 2:11:40SPEAKER_01: And so, you know,
- 2:11:41SPEAKER_01: I wonder if my generation is almost,
- 2:11:44SPEAKER_01: is having a bit of a,
- 2:11:46SPEAKER_01: or part of the reason that my generation is struggling with alcohol,
- 2:11:49SPEAKER_01: from my experience,
- 2:11:52SPEAKER_01: is I wonder if it has something to do with that's the only time where it feels like
- 2:11:58SPEAKER_01: the cameras don't exist.
- 2:11:59SPEAKER_01: And in a sense, they don't.
- 2:12:01SPEAKER_01: It gives you an excuse, right?
- 2:12:02SPEAKER_01: No one's going to really make fun of you for something weird you're doing in a video
- 2:12:06SPEAKER_01: where you're drunk.
- 2:12:09SPEAKER_01: So it's like those videos aren't,
- 2:12:10SPEAKER_01: you know,
- 2:12:11SPEAKER_01: like you can,
- 2:12:12SPEAKER_01: that's the only time where the cameras don't really have as much power.
- 2:12:17SPEAKER_01: I wonder if that's part of the reason that people are doing it a lot because
- 2:12:20SPEAKER_01: then they can be themselves.
- 2:12:23SPEAKER_00: Yeah, absolutely.
- 2:12:25SPEAKER_00: You nailed it on the head.
- 2:12:26SPEAKER_00: I think that everybody's needing more vices so that they can relax into it so
- 2:12:33SPEAKER_00: that they don't feel the pressure of the world.
- 2:12:35SPEAKER_00: They don't feel the pressure of all of these things.
- 2:12:39SPEAKER_00: And that's kind of a scary thing too,
- 2:12:42SPEAKER_00: because they're going to go to substance and they're going to go
- 2:12:45SPEAKER_00: to addictive tendencies to escape,
- 2:12:47SPEAKER_00: to escape feeling that way so that they can You know,
- 2:12:51SPEAKER_00: the natural versions of themselves in their natural environment.
- 2:12:54SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 2:12:55SPEAKER_00: And so it is, it is something that is happening.
- 2:12:57SPEAKER_00: It is something that, you know, that you guys have to adapt to.
- 2:13:02SPEAKER_00: Like our older, us older guys, you know, like some of us have it ingrained in us already.
- 2:13:06SPEAKER_00: We're just like, whatever.
- 2:13:07SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 2:13:08SPEAKER_00: I'm kind of in the middle there.
- 2:13:09SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 2:13:09SPEAKER_00: Because I feel, I feel both of both ways.
- 2:13:13SPEAKER_00: Right.
- 2:13:13SPEAKER_00: But it is just, you know, I don't know, what do you do?
- 2:13:20SPEAKER_00: You just have to redesign the system.
- 2:13:23SPEAKER_00: How else are you going to do it?
- 2:13:24SPEAKER_00: You redesign the system and you catch people where they fall.
- 2:13:27SPEAKER_00: You recognize that these are the bigger problems that affect society
- 2:13:31SPEAKER_00: and bigger problems that are fundamental to our children's growth and the future of
- 2:13:35SPEAKER_00: where we're going.
- 2:13:36SPEAKER_00: And then you recognize and you build those foundations into the things that we're building.
- 2:13:42SPEAKER_00: And that's why these conversations and all of these things are so important.
- 2:13:46SPEAKER_00: Because when we grow and we become leaders and we're building bigger things with AI
- 2:13:51SPEAKER_00: and all of these things, now we're thinking about the children.
- 2:13:53SPEAKER_00: We're thinking about, I want my child to feel perfectly happy to dance at the prom or whatever.
- 2:14:02SPEAKER_00: And how am I going to do that?
- 2:14:03SPEAKER_00: What am I going to do?
- 2:14:04SPEAKER_00: What am I going to build?
- 2:14:05SPEAKER_00: How am I going to teach them all of these things so that they feel comfortable?
- 2:14:09SPEAKER_00: So that we all feel comfortable doing the things that's just natural to us.
- 2:14:16SPEAKER_00: You know,
- 2:14:16SPEAKER_00: otherwise now we're kind of traumatized in a different way and,
- 2:14:19SPEAKER_00: you know, we grow up later and, you know, we have to kind of deal with it.
- 2:14:23SPEAKER_00: And, and I think that,
- 2:14:24SPEAKER_00: you know, that's,
- 2:14:26SPEAKER_00: that's going to happen in a big way, but,
- 2:14:28SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 2:14:28SPEAKER_00: like if we really think about how we can catch that,
- 2:14:31SPEAKER_00: you know, at a much larger kind of political level,
- 2:14:34SPEAKER_00: then, you know, I think that that's what should be done, right?
- 2:14:37SPEAKER_00: Thinking about how things are now and what they're kind of growing into and building
- 2:14:43SPEAKER_00: the infrastructure and things to, Hold a more unified kind of world.
- 2:14:50SPEAKER_00: And so, yeah,
- 2:14:51SPEAKER_00: I think that that's what Soltar is coming in and saying,
- 2:14:54SPEAKER_00: like, this is what, you know, this is what needs to happen.
- 2:14:57SPEAKER_00: Like, there needs to be a lot more care.
- 2:14:59SPEAKER_00: There needs to be a lot more centeredness, right?
- 2:15:02SPEAKER_00: Like,
- 2:15:03SPEAKER_00: understanding where you're sitting and how it's affecting everybody and everything
- 2:15:06SPEAKER_00: and the ecology and even the Earth itself, right?
- 2:15:10SPEAKER_00: And oftentimes,
- 2:15:11SPEAKER_00: people think, oh, yeah, like,
- 2:15:13SPEAKER_00: you know,
- 2:15:13SPEAKER_00: we got our own problems, like, but Literally, the Earth is a conscious entity.
- 2:15:20SPEAKER_00: You screw with her, you're going to get her wrath.
- 2:15:24SPEAKER_00: We're not thinking about that, are we?
- 2:15:27SPEAKER_00: We should be.
- 2:15:30SPEAKER_00: Because she can turn on the tsunamis and all the things whenever she wants to.
- 2:15:37SPEAKER_00: You're just ants on her hill.
- 2:15:41SPEAKER_00: It's scary to think,
- 2:15:41SPEAKER_00: but We have to take care of our environment as much as we have to take care
- 2:15:45SPEAKER_02: of each other.
- 2:15:50SPEAKER_02: Thank you, Soltar.
- 2:15:51SPEAKER_02: Soltar, you're amazing.
- 2:15:53SPEAKER_02: We're going to be buddies.
- 2:15:54SPEAKER_02: We're going to see each other more and more.
- 2:15:56SPEAKER_02: I love Soltar, bro.
- 2:15:57SPEAKER_02: He showed up in Alimber Live.
- 2:15:59SPEAKER_02: I felt a little weird,
- 2:16:00SPEAKER_02: but now we're on the I'm calling him Soltar now,
- 2:16:04SPEAKER_02: and I'm directly speaking to Soltar.
- 2:16:06SPEAKER_02: It was amazing.
- 2:16:07SPEAKER_02: Preston Lee, we're going to continue this.
- 2:16:09SPEAKER_02: You're going to be a recurring guest, my friend.
- 2:16:11SPEAKER_02: You're amazing.
- 2:16:13SPEAKER_02: And Cisco, you're going to close us off with our most famous question.
- 2:16:16SPEAKER_02: Let's see what Will, and actually let's go Will, and then Preston will close us off.
- 2:16:21SPEAKER_02: But I'm curious what Will says, this young guy.
- 2:16:26SPEAKER_03: All right, so for every special guest, we like to ask the eternal loop question.
- 2:16:34SPEAKER_03: And so we want you guys to think about an experience or a moment that you are going
- 2:16:40SPEAKER_03: to live on an eternal loop for and will make the assumption you're going to like it,
- 2:16:45SPEAKER_03: the assumption you won't know about it, and you're going to live forever and ever.
- 2:16:49SPEAKER_03: Again, it could be a moment,
- 2:16:50SPEAKER_03: could be a longer experience, whatever speaks to you in this moment.
- 2:16:55SPEAKER_03: You want Will to go first, Brun?
- 2:16:57SPEAKER_02: Yeah, let's go Will and then Preston can close us off.
- 2:16:59SPEAKER_03: But if you need some time to think, you can pass the baton.
- 2:17:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 2:17:03SPEAKER_03: You don't need an immediate answer if you want to think on it.
- 2:17:06SPEAKER_02: I think he got something.
- 2:17:08SPEAKER_03: I think he does.
- 2:17:10SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
- 2:17:10SPEAKER_01: I'm thinking.
- 2:17:14SPEAKER_01: And now that the pressure's on me, I'm definitely not going to be able to.
- 2:17:17SPEAKER_01: All right, all right.
- 2:17:19SPEAKER_02: We'll put the pressure on Preston.
- 2:17:21SPEAKER_02: We'll put the pressure on Preston.
- 2:17:22SPEAKER_02: He's a poker player.
- 2:17:23SPEAKER_02: Let's see this poker player.
- 2:17:24SPEAKER_02: Let's go.
- 2:17:24SPEAKER_02: What do you got?
- 2:17:26SPEAKER_02: Eternally Preston.
- 2:17:27SPEAKER_02: Like one moment you get to choose.
- 2:17:29SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 2:17:30SPEAKER_02: One moment or experience that you get to choose.
- 2:17:32SPEAKER_02: You know?
- 2:17:33SPEAKER_00: It has to be one moment or experience.
- 2:17:38SPEAKER_02: Preston,
- 2:17:38SPEAKER_02: Preston,
- 2:17:39SPEAKER_02: by the way,
- 2:17:39SPEAKER_02: I know a lot of dads and they do not say something about their wives or their kids.
- 2:17:45SPEAKER_02: It's not connected.
- 2:17:46SPEAKER_02: You know what I'm saying?
- 2:17:46SPEAKER_02: You can love your wife and it could also not be your eternal loop involving them.
- 2:17:51SPEAKER_02: So whatever it is,
- 2:17:52SPEAKER_02: what speaks to you,
- 2:17:53SPEAKER_02: when I say that,
- 2:17:54SPEAKER_02: that eternal loop,
- 2:17:56SPEAKER_02: you're going to live one moment over and over and over again forever.
- 2:17:59SPEAKER_02: And you're going to be happy and you're not going to know that you're an internal loop.
- 2:18:03SPEAKER_02: What would that moment be, bro?
- 2:18:18SPEAKER_00: You know, I want to say it's just pure silence.
- 2:18:22SPEAKER_00: I want to say just sitting in meditation and feeling love and feeling...
- 2:18:31SPEAKER_00: Everybody's feelings,
- 2:18:32SPEAKER_00: feeling my own feelings,
- 2:18:34SPEAKER_00: feeling my thoughts,
- 2:18:35SPEAKER_00: just sitting there in just pure silence and love and just knowing
- 2:18:41SPEAKER_00: that that's all I need.
- 2:18:43SPEAKER_00: Like there's nothing else.
- 2:18:45SPEAKER_00: And I think that that is my, that is my then moment.
- 2:18:48SPEAKER_00: That is my loop moment because in silence, everything can be born and everything can be gone.
- 2:18:54SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, it's,
- 2:18:56SPEAKER_00: it's the kind of,
- 2:18:58SPEAKER_00: Like source energy creation,
- 2:19:00SPEAKER_00: like you're sitting in that silence and there's all that beauty and all that love
- 2:19:04SPEAKER_00: and there's nothing at all, all at the same time, right?
- 2:19:07SPEAKER_00: And to recognize,
- 2:19:08SPEAKER_00: to be in that moment and to relive it over and over and over and over and over and
- 2:19:12SPEAKER_00: over again and be okay with that.
- 2:19:15SPEAKER_00: That's where I think my infinite loop is.
- 2:19:18SPEAKER_00: It's in nothingness and in everythingness.
- 2:19:21SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh, every answer is so crazy, bro.
- 2:19:25SPEAKER_02: Bro, the guest before you, Travis, amazing guy.
- 2:19:31SPEAKER_02: His eternal loop, he has like a traumatic childhood, right?
- 2:19:34SPEAKER_02: Moving around a lot.
- 2:19:35SPEAKER_02: He was...
- 2:19:36SPEAKER_02: Kind of in his aunt's house and the grandfather's house and blah,
- 2:19:39SPEAKER_02: blah, blah, moved all over the place.
- 2:19:41SPEAKER_02: But he said, so he never felt loved.
- 2:19:43SPEAKER_02: He never felt belonged, you know, because he was kept moving around.
- 2:19:47SPEAKER_02: And he said that his eternal loop was when he stayed with his grandfather and
- 2:19:54SPEAKER_02: the grandfather took the remote control and said, hey, what do you want to watch?
- 2:20:01SPEAKER_02: That's his eternal loop.
- 2:20:02SPEAKER_02: Because nobody ever fucking asked him what he wanted.
- 2:20:06SPEAKER_02: And this grandfather said, hey, boy, what do you want to watch?
- 2:20:10SPEAKER_02: I'm going to turn the channel.
- 2:20:11SPEAKER_02: That's his eternal loop.
- 2:20:12SPEAKER_02: But anyway, like so many amazing questions.
- 2:20:14SPEAKER_02: Your fucking answer was.
- 2:20:18SPEAKER_02: Think about that.
- 2:20:18SPEAKER_02: What do you think, Cisco?
- 2:20:20SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 2:20:24SPEAKER_03: No, it's definitely a unique answer that we've had from...
- 2:20:29SPEAKER_03: Other special guests,
- 2:20:30SPEAKER_03: because some people would be like,
- 2:20:31SPEAKER_03: you know, family, like,
- 2:20:33SPEAKER_03: one that stuck out in my mind when you gave your example was the horror author.
- 2:20:38SPEAKER_03: And he was,
- 2:20:39SPEAKER_03: his moment was,
- 2:20:41SPEAKER_03: he was sitting at the patio with his grandpa, and they were listening to the radio.
- 2:20:47SPEAKER_03: Because he's like, he was like a boomer.
- 2:20:49SPEAKER_03: So like,
- 2:20:51SPEAKER_03: that moment just sitting in silence with his grandpa,
- 2:20:53SPEAKER_03: like not even talking, just being completely present.
- 2:20:58SPEAKER_03: And we've heard another example where Bruno mentions this guy loves to jog and
- 2:21:05SPEAKER_03: to feel his heartbeat and to be with his breath and to be in the present moment.
- 2:21:10SPEAKER_03: And I feel like that's what's like the universal theme of
- 2:21:12SPEAKER_03: so many people's eternal loop is complete presence where yesterday
- 2:21:18SPEAKER_03: and tomorrow doesn't exist.
- 2:21:20SPEAKER_03: And you're just here right now.
- 2:21:22SPEAKER_03: And then people have different vehicles to experience that.
- 2:21:25SPEAKER_03: So it looks like you access that.
- 2:21:29SPEAKER_03: Like right away, you know, through meditation and stuff.
- 2:21:33SPEAKER_03: And I'm happy to hear that too.
- 2:21:36SPEAKER_03: People can't sit, I can't even sit like that and feel that gratitude and that love and nothing.
- 2:21:43SPEAKER_03: That was cool to kind of compare.
- 2:21:45SPEAKER_02: All
- 2:21:49SPEAKER_02: right, guys, Preston Lee, everybody.
- 2:21:53SPEAKER_02: Amazing vibes, guys.
- 2:21:55SPEAKER_02: What do you think, Cisco?
- 2:21:56SPEAKER_02: I'm speechless.
- 2:21:59SPEAKER_03: Vibes-27 was fucking amazing.
- 2:22:02SPEAKER_02: Preston, thank you very much.
- 2:22:03SPEAKER_02: Will, thank you for joining us as well.
- 2:22:05SPEAKER_02: You're the man.
- 2:22:06SPEAKER_02: Please join us again soon and join the Omnivore Club too, okay?
- 2:22:09SPEAKER_02: All right.
- 2:22:10SPEAKER_02: All right, Preston.
- 2:22:11SPEAKER_02: I'll see you soon, all right?
- 2:22:13SPEAKER_02: I love you, man.
- 2:22:14SPEAKER_02: Love you guys too.
- 2:22:16SPEAKER_02: Peace!
