- 0:00Speaker 1: You believe in ghosts? Yes, really, have you had experience? No?
- 0:09Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no, no, I I have. Let me
- 0:13Speaker 2: go back, let me say, let me say that I
- 0:15Speaker 2: do believe in ghost So my old house when my
- 0:18Speaker 2: mom says that, now it's a girl that lives there.
- 0:21Speaker 2: You know, I don't know what happened in this house,
- 0:23Speaker 2: but it's definitely a girl that lives in the house.
- 0:26Speaker 2: But she would only come from like the hallway, bathroom
- 0:30Speaker 2: to the kitchen. And I remember doing the pandemic. I
- 0:34Speaker 2: mean you say a ghost, Yeah, that's that's a girl. Okay,
- 0:39Speaker 2: She's definitely a girl. And I remember being doing the pandemic.
- 0:44Speaker 2: I was in the den and I was working on
- 0:48Speaker 2: I was working on something and literally I just turned
- 0:52Speaker 2: to say, so you up, huh? And because I can
- 0:56Speaker 2: feel her, I was like, yo, caause. But and I
- 0:58Speaker 2: had to go back through my family. A lot of
- 1:00Speaker 2: people in my family had experiences with past relatives that
- 1:04Speaker 2: passed on. My uncle said he saw his dad was
- 1:08Speaker 2: my grandfather in his shoes, and my mom said she
- 1:12Speaker 2: saw my grandfather before and had lived ind died in
- 1:17Speaker 2: the house that they had in Mississippi. But yeah, I
- 1:20Speaker 2: believe in ghosts. I believe in unsettled spirits, but he
- 1:25Speaker 2: definitely had a girl that lived in the house.
- 1:27Speaker 3: My grandmother, the one I was telling you about before,
- 1:29Speaker 3: she was very interesting and she really strongly believed in ghosts.
- 1:33Speaker 3: And there was a guy that stayed with them for
- 1:35Speaker 3: a while. They had like an upstairs area that they
- 1:38Speaker 3: weren't using once the kids left, and so they rented
- 1:41Speaker 3: out like it was like an attic space that they
- 1:43Speaker 3: had converted or so, I forget exactly what it was. Anyway,
- 1:46Speaker 3: they rented out a room to this guy wherever, wherever
- 1:49Speaker 3: the circumstances were, and he died, and my grandmother swore
- 1:53Speaker 3: that that dude stayed in the house.
- 1:55Speaker 1: Yeah, I believe it.
- 1:57Speaker 3: I think it's possible that if something happens to you,
- 2:03Speaker 3: that if you're dying, it's a very traumatic experience. And
- 2:06Speaker 3: I have a feeling that we don't totally understand memory,
- 2:11Speaker 3: and we assume that memory is something that only human
- 2:14Speaker 3: beings have, or that only animals have, or that only
- 2:17Speaker 3: creatures living creatures have. I don't think that's real. I
- 2:21Speaker 3: have a feeling there may be a type of memory
- 2:23Speaker 3: from particularly traumatic experiences that stays in a space and
- 2:29Speaker 3: I think this is one of the reasons why they
- 2:31Speaker 3: have to disclose within a certain amount of time. Someone's
- 2:33Speaker 3: been murdered in the house in a lot of places
- 2:35Speaker 3: before you buy it, because people don't want to live
- 2:38Speaker 3: in a house that's got that energy in it. Because
- 2:40Speaker 3: I think, I think things keep energy. I think they do.
- 2:44Speaker 3: I think there's something more to memory than just as
- 2:48Speaker 3: simple as oh, remember when we were five. I think
- 2:51Speaker 3: there's something else there. I think I think that's our memory,
- 2:54Speaker 3: but I think there's a type of memory in things.
- 2:57Speaker 1: That's what I think.
- 2:58Speaker 2: I believe in the one world. So I believe in gens,
- 3:02Speaker 2: you know, I believe in angels, you know what I'm saying.
- 3:05Speaker 2: So it's an unseen world that's not, you know, our thing,
- 3:10Speaker 2: but it was things that was things here before us,
- 3:13Speaker 2: you know.
- 3:13Speaker 1: So I think there's things here with us. Yeah, definitely
- 3:16Speaker 1: with it. And people who don't think that haven't smoked DMT.
- 3:22Speaker 1: But I definitely get old.
- 3:23Speaker 3: G get old of some DMD and you're like, Okay,
- 3:26Speaker 3: I don't know shit. There's things around me all the time.
- 3:30Speaker 3: There's things that are influencing you all the time. And
- 3:33Speaker 3: this is like when we talk about like good energy
- 3:35Speaker 3: and bad energy. One of the things you experienced in
- 3:38Speaker 3: psychedelic states is a clear recognition of like good things
- 3:41Speaker 3: that you've done and bad things you've done. Good, the
- 3:44Speaker 3: good way of thinking, the good way you think about
- 3:46Speaker 3: things a positive.
- 3:47Speaker 1: Way, and bad like.
- 3:48Speaker 3: I remember having negative thoughts in an experience once and
- 3:52Speaker 3: it was all these like dark fractals, and then I
- 3:55Speaker 3: realized it was trying to show me that these dark fractals,
- 3:58Speaker 3: these crazy geometric it's like scary patterns that I was saying,
- 4:01Speaker 3: was because of my own thoughts. And then I released
- 4:04Speaker 3: them and it turned into beautiful geometric patterns over and over,
- 4:09Speaker 3: and it kept saying like, look at this and look
- 4:11Speaker 3: at this, and I was like, oh, it's actually the
- 4:15Speaker 3: way you think changes the world around you. It has
- 4:18Speaker 3: an effect. It might not have the ultimate effect. It
- 4:21Speaker 3: might not be one hundred percent of what happens to
- 4:24Speaker 3: you and in your life, but it has a meaningful effect.
- 4:27Speaker 3: We just can't measure it. And there's things that are
- 4:30Speaker 3: out there, whatever they are, they have some kind of
- 4:33Speaker 3: consciousness that are around us all the time. We just
- 4:37Speaker 3: don't have the senses to take them in. Just like
- 4:39Speaker 3: when you wave your hand over an earthworm and it
- 4:41Speaker 3: has no fucking idea you're doing that. We don't have
- 4:43Speaker 3: the senses to understand that there's things around us, and
- 4:46Speaker 3: people have been writing about these things for so long
- 4:50Speaker 3: to discount them all. They're all liars, they're all delusional,
- 4:54Speaker 3: they're all crazy.
- 4:56Speaker 2: I think that people discount on dude to thinking that
- 5:00Speaker 2: they were on drugs.
- 5:01Speaker 3: Well, they probably were, but it doesn't mean they're wrong.
- 5:04Speaker 2: It doesn't mean it doesn't mean they're wrong. You know,
- 5:06Speaker 2: like a drunk, A drunk really don't tell a lot
- 5:11Speaker 2: of lies. A drunk don't tell a lot of it can't.
- 5:17Speaker 2: I'm drunk, I can't remember all that. I'm just saying
- 5:19Speaker 2: what it is. What I'm saying. But when when people
- 5:25Speaker 2: like LSD, you know, you loosen it, you know, or
- 5:29Speaker 2: mushrooms or these things, people are like, well, you only
- 5:32Speaker 2: saw that because you was on this. But maybe that's
- 5:35Speaker 2: the portal on how you see certain things.
- 5:38Speaker 3: I think there's certain things that we block ourselves from
- 5:41Speaker 3: being able to see on our own protective instincts.
- 5:46Speaker 1: We protect our thoughts.
- 5:47Speaker 3: I mean, this is why people, I think get paranoid
- 5:49Speaker 3: when they smoke weed. One of the things that weed
- 5:51Speaker 3: does is It dissolves all these artificial barriers that you've
- 5:54Speaker 3: put between you and and the thoughts of real danger,
- 5:57Speaker 3: they're all there. You realize your vulnerability, you realize who
- 6:01Speaker 3: you are.
- 6:02Speaker 2: So just think of how years ago, how we was viewed,
- 6:06Speaker 2: how marijuana was viewed. It was taught that marijuana is
- 6:12Speaker 2: a gateway drug to crack, Like I didn't believe that,
- 6:16Speaker 2: Like how does that even correlate? But it's for those
- 6:21Speaker 2: who are trying to find an ultimate high. Maybe you
- 6:24Speaker 2: just smoke weed and that's all you ever did you know,
- 6:28Speaker 2: and you wasn't trying to find another high. I think
- 6:31Speaker 2: some people try to find another high, Like now, man,
- 6:37Speaker 2: a lot of these young people are on so many
- 6:40Speaker 2: different things at the same time, Like what are you
- 6:44Speaker 2: searching for?
- 6:45Speaker 1: You know?
- 6:45Speaker 2: They popping pills, doing coke, drinking lean, doing everything all
- 6:50Speaker 2: at the same time, Like what is and drinking?
- 6:53Speaker 1: What?
- 6:54Speaker 2: What are you trying to escape?
- 6:56Speaker 1: Or what are you searching for? You know? And I
- 6:58Speaker 1: just know.
- 6:58Speaker 2: People who just smoked weed and still smoke joints. They
- 7:02Speaker 2: don't smoke the i't know people who grow their own,
- 7:05Speaker 2: but they're not even trusting what's going on now Now
- 7:07Speaker 2: they're finding fitnyl and all as marijuana, you know, and.
- 7:12Speaker 3: The pesticides, horrible pesticides, because what people don't know is
- 7:17Speaker 3: that a giant percentage of all the drugs or marijuana
- 7:21Speaker 3: rather that people are buying in places where it's illegal.
- 7:24Speaker 3: They're growing them in national forests in California, and the
- 7:29Speaker 3: cartel's doing it, and the cartel uses a bunch of
- 7:32Speaker 3: pesticides and herbicides that are illegal, like real toxic shit,
- 7:36Speaker 3: and they find them doing it all the time. They
- 7:38Speaker 3: find these grow ops in the forest all the time
- 7:41Speaker 3: because it's a misdemeanor. So because marijuana is legal in
- 7:45Speaker 3: the state of California, growing it is just a misdemeanor.
- 7:47Speaker 3: So you could have a full scale grow op in
- 7:50Speaker 3: you know, public land out in the forest, and these
- 7:54Speaker 3: guys find them there all the time. A friend of
- 7:56Speaker 3: mine found one in a ranch that he works at.
- 7:59Speaker 3: He followed these PVC pipes and he realized that some
- 8:03Speaker 3: guy was diverting water into this little area that was
- 8:06Speaker 3: on a to Hone ranch, which is a big ranch
- 8:09Speaker 3: outside of Bakersfield. But this dude that was on my
- 8:12Speaker 3: podcast for his name is John Norris.
- 8:14Speaker 1: He wrote a book about it.
- 8:15Speaker 3: He was a game warden, and he had it turned
- 8:17Speaker 3: into a tactical unit.
- 8:19Speaker 1: They had to get like.
- 8:20Speaker 3: Dogs like Belgian mountain wois and shit with bulletproof vests.
- 8:23Speaker 3: And they're going in there having shootouts with the cartel
- 8:26Speaker 3: because the cartel had set up these marijuana grow ops
- 8:28Speaker 3: in the woods and it was his job to police
- 8:31Speaker 3: that area. So like, okay, I guess that's what we're
- 8:33Speaker 3: doing now. And then they it's a crazy story, man.
- 8:36Speaker 2: It's kind of like moonshine. That's why you shine exactly,
- 8:40Speaker 2: And this thing moonshine, moonshining developed into NASCAR exactly.
- 8:48Speaker 1: Exactly.
- 8:49Speaker 3: They had to outrun the cops. Yeah, that's what NASCAR
- 8:53Speaker 3: came about from it's fun. It's I mean loosted. Also,
- 8:56Speaker 3: it's al Capone, you know, it's all the mob. They
- 8:59Speaker 3: were all running alcohol and there's a lot of people
- 9:02Speaker 3: that were connected to them. You know, some people believe
- 9:05Speaker 3: that JFK's dad was involved in alcohol, but that's disputed.
- 9:10Speaker 3: But the point is like a lot of people were
- 9:12Speaker 3: making money selling alcohol and they were all criminals, all
- 9:14Speaker 3: of them. And so what are you doing. Are you
- 9:16Speaker 3: stopping people from getting marijuana? Nope, what you're doing is
- 9:20Speaker 3: you're empowering a criminal empire, and you're giving them an
- 9:24Speaker 3: immense amount of money, and they're probably gonna have to
- 9:27Speaker 3: kill a few people because people get in the way.
- 9:28Speaker 3: They're probably gonna have to rob a few people because
- 9:31Speaker 3: people are competition.
- 9:32Speaker 1: There's a little bit of a problem over here. We've
- 9:33Speaker 1: got another guard growing when.
- 9:35Speaker 2: We live in we live in a society where the
- 9:40Speaker 2: bad guy is definitely romanticized, right, So how do you
- 9:44Speaker 2: stop people from wanting to be the bad guy when
- 9:49Speaker 2: it's so romanticized and everything, you know.
- 9:52Speaker 3: It's romanticized to the point where John Wick is a
- 9:55Speaker 3: good guy. Yeah, John Wick is a contract killer for
- 9:59Speaker 3: the Russian mob. He kills who knows how many people,
- 10:03Speaker 3: and he's the good guy.
- 10:05Speaker 2: But but you got a problem with the iceman right right,
- 10:11Speaker 2: was a terrible person.
- 10:12Speaker 3: You know, poison John Wick at least with sexy in
- 10:15Speaker 3: that suit.
- 10:16Speaker 2: But you cannot wait John Wicked six to come out
- 10:19Speaker 2: and wait, I love.
- 10:21Speaker 3: Those well John Wick movie though, You're like, he had
- 10:23Speaker 3: a reason. They killed his dog and they stole his car.
- 10:27Speaker 3: They fucked up, they fucked up. They stole the wrong
- 10:29Speaker 3: guy's car, and they killed the wrong guy's puppy, and
- 10:31Speaker 3: so you're rooting for him.
- 10:32Speaker 1: You're rooting for him to kill all
- 10:34Speaker 3: These bad Russian guys, but you don't realize that there
- 10:35Speaker 3: guy's been a contract killer for the Russian mob for
- 10:37Speaker 3: who knows how
