re548: The Bridges of Madison County Decision: When Your Gut Says Go and Your Mind Says No · Repossible

  Do you already know what to do?
• 0:07
  Does your body already know what needs to be done, what the decision is, what the choice is?
• 0:15
  Do you already know what to do and you're just not doing it?
• 0:20
  I've got a shout out and a pushback here to the idea that we already know what to do. Do we need more information? Do we need more time? Well, we'll get into time in a minute here, but do you already know? And I think the answer is you probably do already know what to do. But the question, my question is, and also based on my video of recently, Mind, heart and gut, which Mind, heart, gut. Which of you, singular, plural. Which of you already knows what to do?
• 0:52
  And is it a unanimous decision?
• 0:55
  And is it that simple? And can one of the three decision making centers overrule the other? And is that a good idea?
• 1:03
  Mind, heart, gut.
• 1:05
  Who knows what to do and who's making the decisions here? I'm Bradley Charbonneau, repossible podcast and YouTube channel. And today we're talking about the idea of do you know what to do?
• 1:18
  And are you doing the thing? Are you doing it?
• 1:23
  I'm going to take a little twist on this and you'll hopefully come with me here on this little journey because I am going to look at alternate endings to the film Bridges of Madison County.
• 1:36
  If you've seen the film, you'll know where I'm going. And if you haven't seen the film, you should. Although I don't like to say should. Although. If you are a romantic, if you are in love, if you have ever been in love, if you don't know what love is, if you think you know what love is and you want to have a different idea of it, if you want to have your heartstrings tugged at while that necklace hangs on the mirror and her hand sits on the, on the door handle and she knows what to do and she doesn't do it, or does she know what to do and she does it?
• 2:14
  That's the question. If you know the film, you know what I'm talking about. If you know the book, you know what I'm talking about. It's an excellent book, by the way. It's interesting. I bring up this movie because I just watched it recently and yet it's, it sat with me for years because this, this film, the Bridges of Madison county, look it up. Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. I mean, really, Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. So what I would like to propose this morning is some alternate endings and Alternate decision making processes for the Bridges of Madison county for Francesca and Robert. I'll give you a little background on the movie in a minute. If you haven't seen it, it's pretty simple to describe. And yet is it, Is it so simple? And it probably is because it's a movie. But then if you apply this to your life, is it so simple? And maybe the answer is yes, maybe it is. But I would like to look at it from the perspective of the mind, heart and gut and maybe a little deeper, a little further down and a little higher and a little higher up and think of those maybe five decision making centers and how do we make decisions, especially those big ones. And I'd like to propose some alternate endings to the Bridges of Madison County. Now, you may notice on my resume, Hollywood scriptwriter is not one of them.
• 3:29
  And maybe this is why, you'll see, because I'm not sure that my Hollywood script for the alternate ending for Bridges of Madison county is going to win any awards. In fact, I don't think it'll ever make it to the big screen because.
• 3:42
  Well, you'll see. Ready? All right, here we go. Let me give you a little recap of Bridges of Madison County.
• 3:48
  Clint Eastwood, Meryl Streep. All right, let me. I'm gonna try to give it to you as fast as I can, just to give you the general gist of it. Okay, so Meryl Streep, Francesca, I'll call her by. Francesca. Francesca in the film Born in Italy, meets Richard, her now husband in Italy, I think after World War II, I think it was. And fall in love. And she's. I'm gonna. I will take you to America, you know, land of hopes and dreams. Okay, great. So they move to Iowa and they're on a farm. And basically she's a housewife and a farm woman. Farm person, I don't know, farmer. And they've got two kids, two teenage kids. And life is fine. Right? Everything's okay. It seems very simple, right? Except at some point she does say, oh, I, this is not the life I dreamed of. And she's admitting this to Robert. All right, so Robert. Robert, played by Clint Eastwood, is the. He comes into town, he's a cam. He's a photographer for National Geographic. And he swoops into town and he asks her for directions. And then they have four days, count them, four days of this intense, emotional, passionate, romantic, just cinematic wonderland of magical relationship experience, whatever you want to call it. Okay, four days.
• 5:17
  So I can't even convey the movie does a Great job. Book does an even better job. But I can't even convey sort of what you feel between them and then what's going to happen. And the killer. Killer. Right, so let's get back to mind, heart, gut. So remember, here's the deal.
• 5:38
  Robert, the photographer, his life is, you know, magical. And he goes to Africa and he's, you know, on the Amazon and taking photos of crocodiles and whatnot. Seems all very adventurous and amazing. And it is probably Right. And he's a single guy. He's been.
• 5:54
  He's been married.
• 5:56
  And so he's been through it. Right. He's been through his, shall I say, heart. Has had more experience in that sense, in that he's divorced and he's been there, done that, and he knows the consequences as well of the divorce. Whereas Francesca, all she knows is, you know, young life in Italy and now housewife in Iowa. It's all she knows. So she doesn't know as much as far as that kind of shake up or change in the relationship status. So I think that's, yeah, different for her. She just doesn't have the experience. Right. So that's a fear of her. So.
• 6:30
  So Robert, he, you know, he gets into it and he has this line, it's something like this.
• 6:39
  He gets very dramatic, of course, it's a very dramatic movie. He gets very dramatic. He's something like, you know, Francesca, connection like this doesn't happen, but once in a lifetime, something like that. Right.
• 6:53
  And because I think what he's trying to get at is how deep their connection is and how real it is for him and for her. She feels it too, of course.
• 7:04
  And is this, is this a once in a lifetime thing or see in Francesca's eyes, I think Francesca sometimes doubts and she'll say, well, Robert has this adventurous life. He probably meets, you know, a sort of Francesca every month.
• 7:20
  Right. Or every year, I don't know.
• 7:22
  And so she thinks, well, who am I? Why am I so special?
• 7:26
  Why does Robert, does he. Does he truly love me? And whereas. So Richard, that I was about to say, let me know if you're following. Yeah. Richard, the farmer husband, he's stable, he's simple.
• 7:44
  So that trajectory, that choice, that decision is very straightforward.
• 7:50
  So the big question is, does Francesca go with Robert to live the potential life of a denture in the future? Okay. And the other extreme would be, no, she does not go.
• 8:03
  And she lives on the farm and, you know, sort of happily ever after. Right.
• 8:08
  And it's a movie.
• 8:09
  And so I think, you know, is Francesca sort of secretly thinking, maybe it's nothing.
• 8:22
  Maybe it's not so special.
• 8:24
  Maybe it's, you know, four days of fun and adventure, and that was it.
• 8:29
  And, you know, that's fun and life's good. Okay, so does she really believe that? I mean, do we believe that? Do we believe that this connection is so deep and so multifaceted that it's more than nothing?
• 8:52
  And how is Francesca gonna know? So this is where. Okay, are you with me here? Are you with me? As if you can, like, nodding like, yeah, yeah, I'm with you, Bradley.
• 9:00
  So you get it. Am I good? Francesca, Iowa, housewife, but born in Italy and has sort of a life. You know, fantasies of adventure, fantasies of a. A. Dare I say more epic love.
• 9:16
  Epic love life. And she doesn't have that.
• 9:19
  And Robert. Robert is a. He even says it. He's like, I'm a. I'm a. What does he say? Like, I'm a soul. Something. I'm a. Like, S O L E.
• 9:29
  That'd be funny. Like, soul. Soul. S O L E. S O U L.
• 9:33
  Language guy.
• 9:35
  He's a. Is he just a traveler? Is he just a wanderer? You know, I don't know. I don't think so, because I think he's looking for epic. Well, and so the big question is, is their connection the epic love that both of them are seeking, and is it worth giving it a shot?
• 9:57
  And do they need more than four days? And this is a little bit back to you already know, and do they have enough.
• 10:06
  Here comes the pushback. Here comes the.
• 10:10
  What does Alex say? From Alex and Jordan, my friends over at NotebookLM, Alex says, like, I'm gonna push back on that idea a little bit.
• 10:17
  And do they have enough information?
• 10:20
  See, I don't think information is the thing. Do they have enough to go on to make this decision?
• 10:26
  Right. Does Francesca have enough to go on to make this decision?
• 10:29
  And I think Francesca, in a way.
• 10:32
  In a way has the more difficult decision.
• 10:35
  Right? Is that fair?
• 10:37
  Because she has.
• 10:40
  It's not fair. It's not fair because she does have more at stake. She has others who will be hurt, Right? Her two kids and her husband, Richard. Right? They will be, to use a big, giant, nasty word, devastated. Yes, that will happen.
• 10:57
  Will they get over it? No, Probably Richard, maybe not, but they'll get over it. They'll move on. And then.
• 11:05
  So. But Robert. See, Robert has a very interesting.
• 11:10
  I think this is really interesting, and this I'm gonna shout out to Holly here is.
• 11:19
  Think about this, because I. I Hadn't seen it from this perspective. And yet she enlightened. Let's say Francesca opens the door handle, right when you'll see the movie. You know what I'm talking about. She opens the door handle, goes out in the rain, gets into Robert's truck, and they drive off into the sunset.
• 11:42
  So the pressure on Robert, and this is, again, I don't want to say unfair. I can't think of a different word.
• 11:50
  Unfair is not the right word here. But the pressure is. Is extreme on Robert at this point because now.
• 11:59
  And this is where it gets really good. And again, shout out to Holly.
• 12:03
  This is again, where.
• 12:08
  Is.
• 12:10
  Okay, this is the good stuff. And this is what I've learned recently, and this is why I love her so much. This is where.
• 12:19
  Is Francesca making this decision because of Robert, or is she making the decision based on who she is, thanks to Robert? And is Robert the actual one who makes this change in Francesca? Is it Robert personally, or is it the idea of Robert? Or is it that Robert opens up something in her and changes her so that she becomes more, I don't know, heart and gut and that adventurer and that passionate and that epic love of her gut.
• 13:00
  You still with me? You still with me? I'm like, can I see you? Can I see a show of hands? People are like, brad, I can just. I can see in the front row. You're like, bradley, I'm with you. Keep going. I've got this.
• 13:10
  We're on the journey. I'm with you. Journey. Journey.
• 13:13
  Okay.
• 13:15
  So Robert has. Will. Has. If Francesca makes this move, makes this decision. Robert. I'm opening the truck door. I'm walking through the rain, and I'm coming into your truck. I see the. The cross on the necklace, on the mirror, and let's ride off into the sunset. And the pressure on Robert now is to, you know, is to fulfill the dream that this is going to be epic love. And that this is going to be the. The, you know, African safaris and photos of crocodiles in on the Amazon. Right?
• 13:49
  And that and epic love. And is it going to be that? And of course not. Of course it's not going to only be that. Of course it's not going to be only this epic love and only the. The sparkle, right? It's not. That's the sparkle.
• 14:07
  And yet. Here we go. Here we go. Is the spark there? And by spark, let me explain. Sparkle, Spark and sparkle. This is something I've thought quite a bit about.
• 14:20
  The spark here we got some trees.
• 14:23
  There's a good big One over there.
• 14:29
  The spark is the root. The spark is the. Is the roots are the core or the foundation.
• 14:36
  And roots, I think roots take. Okay, I'm not a botanist, but I would assume that roots take longer to deepen and grow than branches. And again, I'm making this up. Don't quote me on the botany stuff.
• 14:50
  So I think what do. Do Francesca and Robert have the spark? Do they have the depth of the roots that they need to convince mind, heart, and gut? And again, is it really a convincing job to make this decision right now?
• 15:10
  So the spark is the roots. The ul sparkle. That's the.
• 15:14
  The magic and the wonder and the romance and the laughter and all the good stuff, all the stuff that's above ground, all the stuff you see. And yet the spark is the core, is the foundation, are the roots, right? And that's what's holding up the tree, right? So we can't have the branches without the roots.
• 15:33
  And here we go. Here we go. You ready for it? Here it comes.
• 15:37
  Are their roots deep enough after four days to grow the tree, to ignite the sparkle?
• 15:51
  And of course, the answer is, you don't know.
• 15:55
  And back to mind, heart and gut. So let's go back to just the four days. That's all they have is four days, right?
• 16:01
  And because one option is they. They try to work it out, which sounds heavy. The other option is just silence.
• 16:13
  And in. In the words of. Of Esther Hicks, it sucks because silence is the end of the connection.
• 16:23
  And then they're both going down their individual ways and they're thinking in their own individual minds and hearts and guts, but there's no influence from the other. And maybe that's good. And maybe that's what.
• 16:37
  I'm watching this, watching Friends and Neighbors on Apple tv.
• 16:41
  And there's this guy who's infatuated with this girl, and he just. He just wants to show her his love for her, and he's overwhelming her. And she's like, I just need space. Like, I just need time. And he's sort of like, how much time?
• 17:00
  It's so funny because I can so relate to him. Like, how much time? How much time do you need? And it's. He's not getting it right. No, she needs space and time. And what does that mean? That means space and time does not mean.
• 17:13
  Yeah, you get what it doesn't mean. Okay, so sparkle.
• 17:19
  Roots, branches, leaves, flowers.
• 17:25
  Pressure on both sides.
• 17:29
  So where are we now?
• 17:30
  Silence. Remember, that was an option.
• 17:34
  And the silence option, as Esther Hick says, it's funny because she'll say, this is the, the medical terminology. Yeah, it's. It sucks because their relationship, Franchesca and Robert, their relationship, the foundation of their relationship was on transparency. Transparency and honesty and opening up and possibly telling more than either.
• 18:05
  Can't speak for both of them, but either has told to certain people ever.
• 18:09
  Maybe.
• 18:11
  What if. What if Robert and Robert and Francesca had spent three weeks on the phone, you know, daily talking for hours, and they never had those conversations like that maybe ever before. And I mean, dare I say, will they ever again? Right, so this is. Where are the four days enough? And I'm shouting out back and pushing back on the idea of you already know and you do.
• 18:38
  So let me. Let me just do a quick.
• 18:41
  Let's do a quick show of hands here.
• 18:43
  You already know. So let's go back to Francesca.
• 18:47
  Francesca, I'm going to ask you for your. From your gut, by the way, Robert, just in case that was not clear. Robert knows. I think Robert knows. Mind, heart, gut. But this is where Francesca has doubts about Robert's full embodied understanding and decision of knowing.
• 19:08
  Does she truly believe that Robert truly knows on all three? Does she believe that? And I think this is where maybe her self doubt comes into play and her whatever self esteem or confidence or self love even comes into play. How can Robert love Francesca so much? Francesca's just a simple housewife from, you know, Italy. What, what is. What does he see in her? Does he really see what he proclaims to see?
• 19:39
  And does he even proclaim to see? I think he does. Right, and does Francesca then, does she believe it enough to open the door handle? Well, apparently not, because she doesn't open the door handle. Right, but remember who's making that decision, and that is. All right, let's go back to mindheart, Gut and Francesca's decision.
• 19:57
  Hi, humor.
• 20:02
  Okay, we're back at the door handle. Let's analyze the door handle scene, shall we? Because I've been talking about the damn door handle the whole time here. Still with me, by the way. Let's get a raise of hands. Anybody need? How about it? How about a time for refreshment? How about a little. How about a little break? Have you noticed the laughing? The laughing's gotta come. The laughing is the sparkle. And the sparkle has to exist if it's all just spark and roots and depth. And then it's not. It's not the whole package, right, the sparkle. The sparkle is the fun stuff. The spark has to be there. The roots have to hold up the branches. All right, let's get back to the door handle. So the door handle, she's got her hand on it, right? So let's go. Mind her gut. What are we thinking? So her. Her gut.
• 20:46
  Her, my go, G, E, A, U. Her go. Her gut says. Oh, yeah. So go gut.
• 20:53
  Not only is he on board, he's like, opened the door. If you've seen the movie. He's opened the door, ran through the rain. He's sitting in the front seat and she's got a beer open and she's having a cigarette. I mean, that's go. Go's like, I'm. It's go time. I am there. There is no doubt. No doubt at all. Go's there. Go is in the passenger seat. Let's go.
• 21:17
  Right. You like that? Let's go. Oh, that's good. Oh, oh. Hello. Book title. Let's go. G, E, A, U. Hello. Don't trademark that. That's mine. Let's go. Let's go.
• 21:29
  All right, go. Covered check.
• 21:32
  All right, I'm going to jump up to mind here because it's simpler. Mind for Francesca is no mind, because mind is the analytical. Mind is the rational, the logical, the no. My husband Richard will be devastated. And the two kids and the future, and they'll never live through it. And, you know, maybe they will or maybe they won't. And another thing that the mind, Martine, for me, maybe Francesca is her mind, right? And so it's no.
• 22:03
  And it's so. So no, no, I'm not opening the door because of all of this other stuff, right? But I gotta. I gotta give a little credit to Martijn here. I've got a little credit to the mind because I'm a little bit back to the time element.
• 22:19
  And if, you know my work, you know, I talk about Kairos time and Kronos time, right?
• 22:24
  And so four days. They had four days of kairos. Four days of bending time as we know it. It was not, you know, four times 24, right? No, it was not just four chronological days. Chronos days. No, it wasn't. It was Kairos.
• 22:43
  So how much time are those four days worth in Kronos time?
• 22:50
  Like kairos. Like, what is the multiplier? Right? What is the factor? And is it a multiplication or is it an exponential factor? Hello, math guy. Math guy.
• 23:01
  And I dare say the mathematician in me is loving this because it is exponential.
• 23:07
  It's not just 4 times 24.
• 23:10
  It's not even.
• 23:13
  It's not even like 4 times 48. It's. It's not.
• 23:18
  Could it be like 4 times. I mean, it's 4 times days, right? Could it be 4 times weeks? Could it be 4 times months? Is it like the equivalent of 4 months? Right.
• 23:28
  Okay.
• 23:30
  Is it the equivalent of 4 months?
• 23:32
  Right? What, when, what is the number that you need enough of? Like, when do we get enough information back to like one of the original questions? Like, do you need more information? Do we need something new to come in?
• 23:43
  Or is this new information awakening something in us to then make the decision?
• 23:50
  So is it four years?
• 23:54
  Right? Is. Are those four days worth four years?
• 23:58
  And then do you compare it to.
• 24:01
  I mean, what has it been? They have. They have 17 year old kids. What is it, 20 years?
• 24:06
  20 years of.
• 24:08
  I mean, her. Her whole life has not been Kronos. Her whole life hasn't been just Kronos time. It's not just 20 years of Kronos time. So she's had some Kairos in there. And I'm not giving her a whole. I'm not giving Richard a lot of credit, but Richard's kind of a dull guy. Whereas. Okay, sorry, that's where the story veers from mine, because Richard's kind of a dull guy.
• 24:27
  And yeah. So with.
• 24:31
  Remember, we're still at the mind if. How are we doing? How are we doing? You with me? You with me? Because this is a lot.
• 24:38
  It's a lot and it's good stuff.
• 24:40
  It's this. This is the stuff. This is. You already know. This is. I know.
• 24:47
  Wow. Just.
• 24:49
  I know.
• 24:50
  Okay, so how do you know? How do you know?
• 24:54
  Who knows which one knows? Okay, so remember, all right, if you're keeping score, we've got. Go is a hard yes. Goes like, oh, yeah.
• 25:01
  Martijn is a hard no. He. He just no.
• 25:07
  And I gotta remember, back with the credit, that's where I got into the time. Because Martine is. Martijn is a. He's like an analyst, right? He is an accountant. By the way, a little shout out to the three of them because, hello, if GO makes all the decisions, we're in the truck.
• 25:21
  And is that a good thing?
• 25:23
  Turnout?
• 25:25
  Yeah. I mean, yeah, it's a good thing. But is it the long term decision? Do I need, do I. Am I doubting myself? Yeah, of course. Does Martine doubt go? Oh, yeah, all the time.
• 25:38
  But what's the. I was about to say what's the right answer? But what is that right? What does that mean?
• 25:43
  What's the answer? Okay, here we go. Little shout out.
• 25:47
  What is the answer that embodies your thought Your soul, your true self.
• 25:53
  Which one feels right? See, because the feeling right is more heart and gut. Right. All right, let's finish Martin's. Here's. No. He says no. He doesn't. He doesn't. He does the math. And even with the exponential calculations, right? So he doesn't say it's just, you know, four times 24. He doesn't say it's even. Four.
• 26:10
  He says even if it's four to the 24th power.
• 26:14
  Let's just say it's four years. Let's say it's even.
• 26:17
  No, no, I'm gonna go with four years.
• 26:19
  And his calculation is a little tough because. Well, is it just simple math? Is it four years of Robert versus 40 years of.
• 26:30
  What's his name?
• 26:32
  Richard?
• 26:34
  Right. Is that a fair calculation? No, it's not. It's apples and oranges.
• 26:40
  It's arithmetic and quantum physics.
• 26:43
  They. You can't compare them necessarily. Do they even live on the same plane? Do they even live, like, on the same parallel universe? And I think the answer is no. We're going to get to that when we get to alternate scenarios. You still with me here? I. I'm. This is a little longer than I thought, but I think this is possibly even better, dare I say, than my mind, heart, gut monologue of a couple days ago.
• 27:10
  Why? Because I've got a real story that. And if you haven't seen the movie, I mean, you better be renting it by now. Okay? I want you. I want to see, like, the. I want to see, like, the screenshots of the. I rented the movie, Bradley. All right. Okay, we got. We got one. Yes. We got. Go. Yes. We got Martijn. No. Henri. Deal breaker. Right. It's time to. It's time to make the decision. And what are we doing, Henri?
• 27:30
  And remember I just mentioned parallel universes. Okay? So parallel universes, Henri, he's. He's of a split mind because Francesca loves.
• 27:44
  I keep forgetting his name.
• 27:46
  R.R. richard. Francesca. That's not a good sign, Rich. Francesca loves Richard. She truly does.
• 27:53
  And she's loved him forever. And she loves him, but it's a certain kind of love. And of course, they've been married for 20 years. I get it. Okay?
• 28:01
  So that's that. You could call it Kronos Love, but that's not fair either. Right? And then if you apply this to your own situation, maybe your own situation isn't as straightforward or isn't as. Dare I. I mean, I'm calling Iowa Housewife boring. No offense to the Iowa housewives. They probably are having a great time, but it's just not my thing. So for me, it's sort of an easy decision. Although it'd be even easier if richer were, like, abusive and. And terrible and mean and brutal and ass. Right?
• 28:28
  So Ms. Pepper.
• 28:31
  Pepper's good. Pepper's like, bradley, what are we doing here? He's like, seriously, we're still talking about this? Yes, we are. Pepper's. Pepper's good.
• 28:38
  So, all right, so Henri, the heart.
• 28:42
  The heart.
• 28:44
  Where is he? Right? And I think you can already come to the conclusion, and that is. He split. It's a split decision.
• 28:52
  And.
• 28:55
  Oh, God, I almost said you.
• 29:00
  You want both.
• 29:03
  And yet.
• 29:04
  Is that an option? Right. According to Robert. So what does Robert want?
• 29:09
  Does Robert want Francesca to come with him, break all ties, and they head off into the sunset and go to Africa? Right. I. I think that's what Robert wants. And this is, again, where the insecurity of Francesca be like, does Robert really want that with me?
• 29:24
  Does Robert really want.
• 29:26
  Is that what Robert wants? Robert wants all me, the whole package, nothing less. And that's all Robert's gonna accept. I don't know.
• 29:35
  And that's where the movie, of course, this movie doesn't get into this because that doesn't go with Hollywood. Right? Hollywood's like, all or nothing or make or break.
• 29:44
  And yet is life so straightforward and simple? No.
• 29:49
  Are there sacrifices? Are there decisions? Are there hard decisions? Yeah, this is a hard decision.
• 29:56
  So Francesca, Henri, the heart, split decision.
• 30:05
  So now it's like one and a half to one and a half.
• 30:07
  So what do we do?
• 30:10
  One and a half to one and a second.
• 30:12
  Because Francesca has a deep love for Richard.
• 30:18
  A deep, true.
• 30:23
  Wow. These are gonna sound like boring words, but safe, but also passionate.
• 30:27
  Also loving, also experience.
• 30:31
  Also.
• 30:33
  It is deep. It has been epic. Is it always epic? Is anything always epic? No. If it were always epic, it wouldn't be epic anymore. Just like adventure. If every single day you took photos of crocodiles, you get bored of taking photos of crocodiles. So it's not about only the epic love being all. It's not 247 epic. We all know that. And I'm not saying you're saying that it's always epic.
• 30:57
  But epic love, that's epic love.
• 30:59
  Epic love is the roots and the branches. Right? And I know she's not saying that epic love is only glitter. It's only sparkle because the spark is the depth. Right?
• 31:13
  Okay, so what do we do?
• 31:15
  What did Francesca do? Francesca did not open the door. Francesca stayed in her Truck with Richard and lived her Iowa farmer, housewife life forever. Right?
• 31:27
  And this is where things get tricky, but this is where Hollywood ends and reality comes to play. Right. So what are the alternate. We were talking about alternate endings. Well, I was talking about alternate endings. If you're still hanging around. I love you. Have I mentioned that yet?
• 31:44
  And alternate endings. All right, here we go. Ready?
• 31:48
  Richard. And I can't even say, this is a straight face. Richard. Sorry. Richard. Richard. Richard is going to the Oklahoma State Fair, right? No.
• 32:00
  Iowa.
• 32:02
  No. Francesca and Robert are friends and they are pen pals, and they talk and they have nice conversations. I can't even say it with a straight face because I don't know, is that possible?
• 32:16
  And I guess so.
• 32:18
  It might work.
• 32:20
  Can you turn off that switch, right, that, you know, deeper than love? The go switch.
• 32:30
  Go switch. Right, like that, Right? Can you turn that off and. I don't know. I don't think so. Can you. Can you wear it out over time? Like it goes away? I probably. I guess it's not working so far, but. Okay.
• 32:43
  So.
• 32:45
  All right.
• 32:46
  Okay. So that's one scenario. So one scenario is that. Well, like the movie. Bye. Bye. That's it. No contact ever, ever again. Really? They never contacted each other ever again? I mean, I think when Richard died, Francesca tried to get in contact with Robert and, I don't know, couldn't find him or something like that. So that's. That's like never again. And I want to get into one of the. I'm going to. I'm going to add two more layers to one of the scenarios here, just to add a little spice. A little spice, a little nice to it. Because that was kind of simple, right? So that's the option of silence. And we already know what. Silence. Silence sucks. Because silence is no longer.
• 33:25
  Silence is no longer the communication. It's no longer the transparency, the honesty, the laughs, the love, the sharing, the building, the creating. It's nothing, right? Because silence is nothing.
• 33:39
  Okay? Coming from the meditation guy, silence is really good. And silence is really good for diving into yourself and understanding yourself, which is important. Which I'm, you know, calling that out because that's super important to know, as she says, right?
• 33:54
  Is falling in love. Is it falling in love with the version of yourself that the other person brings out in you? And I really like this, and I believe it to a point, but I don't believe it 100%, because that other person, it's not just like the catalyst. It's not just the ignition to light the fire.
• 34:17
  It matters who the other person is. It's not just, oh, that person makes me feel like this. I don't know. My friend Amy in San Francisco, when I'm with her, I am stand up material. I am funny. I mean, I'm pretty funny guy anyway.
• 34:32
  But when I'm with her, I'm just witty. I'm just clever.
• 34:35
  And so with certain people, you are a certain way, and they bring out certain things in you. And so how important is that, right? How cool is that? And so, like, okay, here's a note from the film Francesca.
• 34:50
  Robert goes to pick some flowers, romantic guy that he is, and he picks some flowers. And then he comes back to bring Francesca the flowers.
• 34:58
  And she says, oh, that's so sweet, except those are poisonous. And he's like, shocked, and he drops them. And she just, like, folds over laughing because she's joking. And she said something like, I don't know what got into me. So I don't know why I would say that. And because he brings out in her a different Francesca, a more playful Francesca, a wittier, more clever, funnier, lighter, more romantic, more epic Francesca. And that is what Robert brings out in Francesca. And Francesca loves this.
• 35:36
  And similarly, Robert opens up in ways that maybe he hasn't. Robert opens up to her in ways that maybe he didn't even know, because Francesca is the catalyst that opens this up in Robert. And so the thing is, right, like, does Francesca leave Richard for Robert because of Robert, or is it because of what Robert created or transformed in Francesca?
• 36:03
  Has Francesca transformed into the person?
• 36:07
  Or will she transform into the person that is meant to be with Robert over Richard? And can that happen in four days? And this is where I got to push back a little. And I think the answer is maybe, right?
• 36:18
  But I think Francesca, her mind is like, no, right? As we already. I mean, the score is one and a half to one and a half, right? We're like, on the fence here.
• 36:28
  All right, so there's the deal. We're at one and a half. One and a half. So that's why I want to bring in some alternate endings.
• 36:35
  I wonder if that should be the title of this. Alternate endings to the Bridges of Madison County. And you were like, we are 36 minutes in here, and I don't even got. I haven't even got to the alternate endings.
• 36:46
  Ready? Here we go. Okay, one. Okay, one. We already covered. They could be friends. They could be pen pals. And you just imagine like, they're rolling the credits and they're. They're talking on the phone, they're giggling and it's fun. That's. That's fine. I mean, that's cute, right? It wouldn't go over well. That's like a credit rolling, you know, a couple images of them. It's nice.
• 37:04
  I. I could, you know, I could see it. But it's not going to be Bridges of Madison County 2, I can tell you that. So what is Bridges of Madison County 2. Ready? Here we go. Here's an alternate ending for you. Let's say I'm going to throw in a couple more variables because frankly, their story, it's a little.
• 37:21
  Even though it's multifaceted, multi dimensional, I'm going to add some more dimension to it. Okay, here we go.
• 37:27
  Let's say just for sake of cinematic Hollywood fantasy, let's say that I'm going to add two levels. One is a level of spirituality. And let's say that because they didn't talk much about spirituality per se in the film, right? Because it's just whatever, it's the 50s or 60s or whenever it was, right?
• 37:50
  And they just didn't talk about it. Although they said it, but they didn't say the words. So what if there was a level of connection between. Between Francesca and Robert that just transcended all normal parallels of universes and. And from a vertical, you know, connection connecting two different parallels to even like, even diagonal connections that were unexpected.
• 38:15
  And what if this were like just this connection were so deep and so real and so many. Not just like we both like chai latte, right? But like their puzzle pieces interconnected in ways that were just beyond the universe.
• 38:31
  And that this connection was so deep and so epic that it would be a shame should they not continue some connection.
• 38:46
  It would be a tragedy in Hollywood film vocabulary to put a silence to it. Okay, Spirituality. What if they both, like, had their.
• 39:04
  I'm gonna say it. Gene key analysis, and then they put the gene key analysis together and it was just epic, dare I say epic.
• 39:17
  What then? Right, what then?
• 39:22
  As I say this, there's like a major dog fight going on over there. Am I. You think I'm just like. Am I sending out vibes in the universe that are shaking things up? I. I think I am.
• 39:32
  Okay, ready? I got one more layer for you to add a little bit more to the fun in this layer.
• 39:39
  Okay, this is going to sound a little weird, but go, go with me here. Go with me. Feel, feel me. Just take my hand. Take my hand. Let's. Let's go with me here for a sec. Okay, here we go.
• 39:49
  Let's say that Francesca and Robert, for sake of example, here. And I'm just. I'm just making stuff up, I swear.
• 39:57
  Let's say that they shared something else together.
• 40:03
  And this.
• 40:05
  I'm just going to put it bluntly.
• 40:08
  It's their voice.
• 40:12
  Their voices.
• 40:14
  And yes. I mean, what's the word in English? Timber. Is that a word? Timbre et French Timbre. The tone. Maybe it's tone. Tone. The depth, the sultry sound, the sensuous, sonorous sound of each of their voices. Now, I don't know. Clint Eastwood and Meryl Streep. I mean, I don't know. But let's just say that individually, they both had a voice that people even say like, oh, my God, you have such a great voice. You should do audiobooks. You should sing. I want to hear. I've had audiobook comments from people say, Bradley, I barely understand the English because there wasn't English as native speaker, like, but I just listened to it anyway because I just want to hear your voice because you're so convincing and compelling and passionate. Right? And I am.
• 41:09
  So let's just say for kicks that the voices, the actual sound of the voice is one element. That's one element of the voice. Pepper wants to go.
• 41:18
  All right, Pips, let's go. Pepper's like, enough. Move on.
• 41:23
  Okay, voice, you still with me?
• 41:28
  You're not going over here? You want to hang out?
• 41:31
  You enjoying this pep? I mean, I'm thoroughly enjoying this, by the way. Like, this kind of stuff, the working through ideas. I mean, we're in a play storm here. We're in the playpen. This is my playground, in case you didn't know. This is my playground. This is where I play. And I'm in solitary, right? I'm not having a conversation, although I think conversations can be even more powerful. But this is an example of channeling. I am channeling this creativity, this flow right here, right now, and I'm sharing it with you.
• 42:03
  I highly recommend doing this, by the way. I don't necessarily recommend everybody sharing their deepest, darkest adventures and passions and secrets and desires and fantasies necessarily publicly on YouTube. But, hey, that's just who I am, right?
• 42:17
  Got things to say.
• 42:19
  All right, where were we? Voice.
• 42:21
  So let's say that individually, their voices had a passion. You know what their voices have. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go.
• 42:33
  Individually, each voice has a sparkle. And you now know what I mean by sparkle, right? A sparkle is a spark. And the sparkle, the spark is the foundation, the depth the content even. Right. And then the sparkle is that lightness, is that glitter, is that shimmer, is that. That beauty, is that magical touch, is the pixie fairy dust. It's the good stuff. Right?
• 42:55
  And yet the depth of their voices. Not just the depth, like depth, but that's there too.
• 43:02
  But it's the.
• 43:04
  Wow. It's the passion that it. That it brings along. Okay, so that's. Individually. Individually, they can both go far. And they will.
• 43:14
  And yet. Ready? Because here comes the dimension that I see as the alternate ending at this point is the alternate ending that I can envision the most. Because remember, Francesca, it's one and a half to one and a half, right? No. Yes, Halfway.
• 43:35
  But I think this is again, based on four days.
• 43:39
  And again, I'm going to be back on the pushback on the. Do you need more time? Need more information? Need something new? Well, you know what?
• 43:46
  Yeah, yeah.
• 43:50
  Because based on the four days.
• 43:52
  Yeah.
• 43:53
  Like, yes, yes.
• 43:58
  Right? Based on the four days. Like, yes, yes. No, I don't know. Right, so do we need a full consensus? Do we need a. Any unanimous decision?
• 44:08
  No, but there's some real pushback.
• 44:14
  When?
• 44:14
  Thankfully. Honestly. Right, thankfully. Because four days. Okay, four days. Four days.
• 44:21
  Okay, back to voice.
• 44:24
  Bradley, what is this thing with your voice? What are you so focused on? This voice thing? Okay, here we go. Ready?
• 44:29
  Let's say, remember, Francesca, Robert, Individually, their voices are powerful. Their voices have potential. They can both individually, separately create. They can sing, they can create audiobooks, they can recite poetry, they can do spoken word. I'm counting as if you can see my fingers. They can.
• 44:55
  My favorite one is guided meditations.
• 45:02
  So back to spirituality. Right.
• 45:04
  And so I. I often shout out. They're called Alessandrina and Dexter, and they're on insight timer and they're a.
• 45:13
  They do guided meditations together. Okay.
• 45:18
  That's one thing.
• 45:19
  So individually, the voices are powerful. And all the good stuff. I just said, however, here we go. Ready for this good stuff. However, not, however, in addition, very improv. Not. No, not. But. But. And, and.
• 45:34
  And together, the frequency, the vibration, the frequency of these two voices together creates something that neither of them could create individually. It's just not possible. It's not possible for a single voice to create that sound, that frequency, that vibration.
• 45:59
  Individually, it's just not. It's not possible because the two voices together create something that the one voice individually cannot do.
• 46:08
  Right? So with me, here's the thing.
• 46:15
  These two voices together, what if this connection, this deep, epic connection in the form of voice in the form of. I don't know if it's music or guided meditations or.
• 46:33
  Or what. Or. Or all of the above. Right.
• 46:37
  What if it's. What if it's more. What if it's podcasting? What if. I don't know. I don't know. For me right now, the simplest is I can't. The one I can't get out of my head is just this guided meditation idea. And it's very much based on Alexandrina and dexterity and how they co create guided meditations. Right. And here again, back to the spiritual. Because also if I'm still with me and I'm with Francesca and Robert. Right, let's say Francesca and Robert, they have their own individual experiences, they have their own individual backgrounds. And yet. And they're not the same, which is a good thing because when you combine them, when you put them together, they weave in together to create a unique sound, a unique vibration and frequency woven together. But they have to do it together.
• 47:29
  Well, if they don't have to, but individually, that's exactly what it is. Whereas together it is a unique sound that. Let me. All right, let me go out here for a sec because have you ever, have you ever shared an airpod with someone?
• 47:45
  So you're. You're listening to music or you're listening to something and you share an airpod. I find it one of the most sort of intimate connections for some reason. Maybe it's just like growing up as a kid listening to a Walkman. Yep. On the school bus and sharing like it's got wires and you get the two wires. Or it's even like just share it ear. Ear to ear. Right.
• 48:08
  Whereas like an airpod, you can share one, even cleaned out the earwax, share one airpod over there and then the other one over there.
• 48:19
  And this is where there are two inputs, like inhaling, dare I say inhaling to individually inhale apart and exhale together.
• 48:33
  This is how I see this voice. This is how I see this voice.
• 48:40
  Inhaling individually, exhaling together.
• 48:46
  So the input from the individual, from the Francesca, from the Robert, with them in their voices. Right.
• 48:55
  And they processing through their own experiences, their own everything from past, present and future, and then processing that as it comes out in their own voice, the individual voice. And yet combined together, interwoven together like vines of the tree. Vines of the tree or roots of the tree, interwoven to create a unique sound. And what if this sound, dare I be so bold as to say, what if this sound is something that is just math Guy exponentially more powerful and beautiful than the individual sounds of the individual voices.
• 49:40
  What if, what if, if we go the silence route and maybe friends right then?
• 49:50
  Will that ever happen? I mean, maybe. Probably not. Although. What did she say in the friends and neighbors show? I need space. I need time. Okay, how am I still laughing?
• 50:06
  Because I am a loving soul, that's how I can keep laughing. Because I am an optimist. Because I am a nature loving, good, loving hearted, big hearted. There is so much love in the world. There is so much love in me.
• 50:22
  You have so much love to give. I have so much love to receive. I have so much love to give. You have so much love to receive.
• 50:28
  What if these two voices combined together to create a unique sound that was so intense and powerful and fun and funny and spark and sparkle. What if this voice together was sparkle, whereas one is spark and one is lul.
• 50:49
  Hi, I'm Spark. I am Ol.
• 50:52
  And yet remember, both individually have the sparkle individually too, right?
• 50:58
  Francesca has the sparkle and Robert has the sparkle. They both have the core and the branches. They both have the roots and the branches. They're individual tree of spark and sparkle.
• 51:10
  And yet together.
• 51:14
  Pepper.
• 51:16
  Sorry, is that really loud when I do that?
• 51:24
  Okay, I gotta find pepper.
• 51:30
  Oh, there he is.
• 51:33
  Sorry, I, I, I'll edit out if it's really loud. Here's Pepper. Okay, I'm not even paying attention to Pepper. Sorry, Peps. I'm kind of, I'm kind of out there doing this thing, right? Because. Are you feeling this?
• 51:43
  Are you feeling this?
• 51:45
  Tell me if you're feeling this. I want to, I want to hear it especially from one of you. All right, Come on, Pip.
• 51:55
  Okay, here we go.
• 51:58
  Let me go with this. Okay, now that I found Pepper.
• 52:03
  Sorry about that.
• 52:06
  Hang on. I can whistle.
• 52:08
  Whistle. There you. Okay. Okay.
• 52:10
  Hello, Bradley. Roll with it. Improv. Ready? Roll with it. Ready? What just happened?
• 52:15
  He, he's got kind of deaf. He can only hear me whistle, thankfully. With your fingers. Not.
• 52:23
  I'm not really good at that. I can whistle like that. Right. And he heard that.
• 52:27
  What if, what if this combined sound, this combined voice, these two voices together, creating what if this were such a powerful, intense, magnanimous, magnificent, fantastical, adventurous, sparkly, sparkle, crispy sound and frequency and vibration that it was just people say, I just can't stop listening. I need more. I want more. I want more of those two. I want, I want, I like them individually, but together it's love.
• 53:07
  And could that be a thing?
• 53:14
  The AirPods together, sharing it just like I Think on the bus, sharing the airpods, inhaling individually, exhaling as one, inhaling separately, exhaling together.
• 53:35
  If we go the silence route, maybe there's a time in the future, right? We go the silence route. I don't know. Silence route is really hard, but I get it and I'm respecting it.
• 53:54
  Can you see this? All right, let me wrap this up because this is the main alternate ending for Bridges of Madison county that I wanted to shout out there.
• 54:04
  And.
• 54:08
  Could such a fantastical future be possible as trying not to label but co creators of frequency, Dare I say next level frequency. Dare I say next level vibration of a frequency that individually they get close to individually, but together, you know, is this as Robert said, is this but once in a lifetime connection or, you know, I have to think as Francesca.
• 54:52
  I think Francesca probably thinks a month later, oh, did Robert meet another Francesca now? And oh, well, just replace me. And that's it. Is what it is what it is. And it was a fanciful four days.
• 55:06
  I like to think not.
• 55:09
  I don't think it.
• 55:11
  But the thought crosses your mind, right? And that's back to the idea of Martine a little bit from, you know, maybe it's nothing.
• 55:22
  Is it, is that possible? I guess I don't believe it.
• 55:25
  But you have that little fear sometimes, right? Maybe it's nothing. Maybe Francesca and Robert, it's just a four day thing.
• 55:32
  I mean, according to the movie, it's just a four day thing because they didn't pursue it any further.
• 55:36
  They went the silence route.
• 55:39
  And that was the end of the movie. Well, no, it wasn't the end of the movie. Their kids, you know, they uncovered the story. But what do you think? The kids, what did the kids think later, right?
• 55:52
  They say, wow, mom, you should have gone for it.
• 55:55
  And then they actually, they learned from it and helped with their own lives to.
• 56:03
  To go for it. Go for it. Wow. You seeing these? Am I the only one who sees book titles and everything? Go for it. G, E, A, U. Go for it.
• 56:14
  Hello. Hello, Creative guy. Hello.
• 56:19
  Wow. Can you imagine that as a, as a guided meditation?
• 56:24
  Go for it.
• 56:27
  Good, right?
• 56:28
  Go for it.
• 56:32
  All right. How you feeling? How you doing? Can I see a show of hands? Who's awake? Who's with me? Who's like left the room?
• 56:38
  Bradley, I left, like chapter four seven hours ago.
• 56:43
  You know, this is. We got a lot of go talking here, right? We got go talking and Henri, this is, this is like Henri running the show today because this is all love.
• 56:52
  Martinez, like sitting in the back row like, what are we talking about? No, Martine is not okay. I gotta give Martine a little credit. Come on. Because Martijna's like, bradley, this is good.
• 57:04
  You're thinking through it. You're talking through it. You're in a play storm. You're a bit of a wacko that you are recording this and gonna publish this live like a nutcase.
• 57:14
  So, you know, there's that.
• 57:18
  So now what?
• 57:24
  By the way, a little shout out, Little. Little note, a little word from our sponsor.
• 57:28
  The one thing that Charlie, my chatgpt, keeps saying, like, when I ask, like, what is my main theme? Right? And he comes back to this pretty often. He says, now what? Because it's decision making, right?
• 57:44
  It's how do we make the next decision?
• 57:47
  And, like this one, right? What do Francesca and Robert do?
• 57:52
  All right, I'm getting pushed out of the woods by dogs.
• 57:55
  Come on, babe.
• 57:58
  Aren't you glad I found Pepper? Aren't you glad I'm not at all focused on what I'm doing? And I totally lost Pepper.
• 58:05
  Okay. Oh, starting to rain. That's why I got my favorite hat on.
• 58:10
  Little shout out. All right, here we go. Here's a word from our sponsor, from the super. I literally got this at a supermarket, but it's in Lake Tahoe, so it's kind of in the mountains.
• 58:22
  I've had this hat for so long. My favorite hat. This is my. This is my true self hat. This is Bradley at his best.
• 58:29
  That's what you're getting today. Bradley at his best. This is the deepest creation. This is. This is deep sharing here.
• 58:37
  Some of you will understand that better than others, but this is.
• 58:42
  This is what it's all about.
• 58:44
  This is the depth. This is the good stuff.
• 58:48
  Okay?
• 58:53
  I don't know if I touched the power of that shared voice idea, Dare I say, that humanity would miss out on this frequency of message, of voice, of storytelling, of meditation, of song, of power, of love, of laughter.
• 59:33
  Should these two voices not combine to make one?
• 59:42
  Am I going to look back at this video in a month? In a year?
• 59:49
  And will it just have been four days?
• 59:53
  Robert and Francesca was four days.
• 59:57
  And, you know, Robert made a photo book of it called Four days or something like that.
• 1:00:05
  Is that. Is it four days? And that was a thing, and that's all it ever was, right?
• 1:00:10
  Or might it be something more?
• 1:00:14
  And this is. This is, for me, the big question.
• 1:00:16
  Is it more than four days?
• 1:00:19
  Is Robert and Francesca more than four days?
• 1:00:23
  Or was that it? And that's all it was going to be. And after some time, that sparkle will dampen, will diminish, will dim, and it'll just be a nice story.
• 1:00:41
  I can't even say that with a straight face because it is just not just a nice story.
• 1:00:46
  I go back to Francesca and Robert.
• 1:00:48
  That wasn't just four days. It wasn't just nothing.
• 1:00:53
  So the question is, now what?
• 1:00:56
  And if I follow, you know, Apple TV shows, then I know the answer. And the answer is time. And the answer is space.
• 1:01:07
  Just give me some time. And the answer. The response to that is like a week.
• 1:01:12
  That's not the answer. Okay, it's raining.
• 1:01:16
  The answer is however long it takes.
• 1:01:19
  The answer is however much space it needs.
• 1:01:23
  And the answer needs to come from a place of lightness and laughter and not from depth. I think the reconnection, as she says, is from a place of lightness and laughter.
• 1:01:39
  So from the branches and maybe from new branches. And see, I think. So is this whole voice singing, guided meditation idea, is that a root or is that a branch?
• 1:01:53
  Ooh, here we go. Or is it both?
• 1:01:58
  Is the guided meditation.
• 1:02:00
  Sorry, I keep saying guided meditation, but it's really these two voices. It's really the AirPod visual. If you can get that AirPod visual of two people sitting on a bus, AirPods coming in, right? It's like the music's coming in in two, in two different inputs, and it's going out as one. It doesn't necessarily mean. Remember, by the way, I am not a singer. At least not. Okay, let me rephrase that. I am not yet a singer, although I am.
• 1:02:27
  I just don't know the rules, but I have that. That power, that. That passion.
• 1:02:34
  And I have the patience to evolve my voice to make it even better, even stronger, even more powerful and more passionate.
• 1:02:45
  And I'm not only willing, I'm able and willing and wanting to combine that voice to make it an even stronger voice.
• 1:02:56
  And might it be something that takes off and that touches people, that connects with people at a deep frequency to the point where they can't get enough?
• 1:03:09
  And they are grateful. Humanity is grateful that these two voices collaborated.
• 1:03:17
  Co and coast. Conspired.
• 1:03:20
  Connected.
• 1:03:22
  You got some more co words for me there, Mr. Mr. Linguist?
• 1:03:26
  Connected. Conspired.
• 1:03:31
  Collaborated. I think I've already said these.
• 1:03:34
  Co. Created to create something that is just so unforgettable.
• 1:03:43
  Because there's another element, and that's not just the voice, and that is the. For lack of. Here's a co word. Content.
• 1:03:52
  Because it's the content. It's the experience that the Two bring together and they're different. Thankfully they're different. They're not the same. Right.
• 1:04:03
  They're different. Experiences that brought together are the spark and the wool, the sparkle.
• 1:04:08
  Right? Because there's the core of the one person and then there's a branch of the other person and there's the root of the one person.
• 1:04:15
  Right? So those two together and they both have their own branches and roots.
• 1:04:18
  So coming together.
• 1:04:20
  What if. What is. What if this could turn into a co creation that leads to who knows what kind of future. Maybe they're on stage. Maybe they are co creating events. Maybe they are.
• 1:04:42
  Maybe they have a podcast. Maybe it's just these guided meditations. First thing keeps coming to my head. What if it's just guided meditations? What if there's a course? What if there's a workshop? Is that too much?
• 1:04:54
  Right.
• 1:04:58
  Okay. As you can tell, I might have strayed a little bit from.
• 1:05:03
  From Francesca and forgetting all their names now. Francesca and Robert.
• 1:05:10
  Oh yeah, you mean Bradley. Oh, you mean the like the core of your message here? Francesca and Robert. Yeah, I keep going with that. It's really working out.
• 1:05:18
  Okay, these are alternate endings for the Bridges of Madison County.
• 1:05:24
  Plus a little fantasy in there.
• 1:05:30
  And the answer is time. And the answer is it's still like one and a half and one and a half. And yet that's just my mind, heart, gut. I'm only one part of the equation. And if I'm one and a half, one and a half, what's the other equation?
• 1:05:49
  And by the way, what if Robert just says, I don't want any of this? There's four days. It's fun. See ya.
• 1:06:00
  That's an option.
• 1:06:03
  And then Francesca would say, oh, okay.
• 1:06:09
  Because if it doesn't mean something to both of them, then it's not something together.
• 1:06:16
  And that's not going to work. Right?
• 1:06:27
  Was it Wayne Gretzky?
• 1:06:31
  Every shot I don't take, I miss.
• 1:06:35
  So this is where part of me just wants to take the shot.
• 1:06:40
  Because if we don't take the shot, then we, then we know the answer. You want certainty.
• 1:06:46
  If we don't take the shot, we're gonna miss.
• 1:06:51
  We're gonna miss the goal. Wayne Gretzky's a hockey player. If you don't know. And he said something like that.
• 1:06:57
  He also said, I'm gonna skate to where the puck will be.
• 1:07:04
  So he thinks ahead to where it's gonna be. But the bigger one is every shot I don't take, I miss.
• 1:07:16
  I don't get a goal.
• 1:07:18
  And this is Where I'm willing to take the shot and willing to miss.
• 1:07:27
  With the chance of it, of the goal of the shot, of the success, of the potential of success. There's no guaranteed success, but I think it's worth a shot because otherwise it's four fun days.
• 1:07:45
  It's more than four fun days.
• 1:07:52
  All right, you know what? I'm gonna leave it at that.
• 1:07:55
  When there is laughter and lightness, then when you're up in the branches, that's the time.
• 1:08:06
  That's the time to make the decision. When the roots are strong and the foundation is emboldened, the foundation is doing its job.
• 1:08:19
  The foundation is there, and time has passed and the roots have grown deeper.
• 1:08:24
  Although I find with silence, it's hard to grow the roots deeper. But anyway, from a place of laughter and lightness is where the co creation could be born, could blossom.
• 1:08:45
  Remember, because up there on the branches, that's where the blossoms and the. And the beauty and the magic and the sparkle and the crispy that's up there.
• 1:08:58
  If you're totally lost, raise your hand.
• 1:09:03
  You are. Bradley, You've been talking for.
• 1:09:07
  Oh, my God, an hour and nine minutes.
• 1:09:11
  Seriously.
• 1:09:13
  And I have no idea what you're talking about. That's all right, because there are certain people, speaking of frequency, there are certain people, and not just one, but there are certain people in the world who will connect with this frequency, because this is the frequency of love. This is the frequency of mind, heart, gut, and that combination of how we decide. And yes, you already know.
• 1:09:39
  I know. You already know.
• 1:09:41
  I get it. I believe it.
• 1:09:44
  I do think it can be a little more complex because you already know. You already know. You already know. Martin Henrigo, Mona, Holly Gaia, who already knows.
• 1:09:58
  Is there a. And again, it's not just a democracy and two against one wins.
• 1:10:04
  Is it so simple? It's not a democracy.
• 1:10:13
  So here you go. I'm going to leave you with this.
• 1:10:16
  There's a certain podcaster who says something like at the end, she says, if nobody's told you today, I love you, and I find that it's cute. I like it, it's nice.
• 1:10:26
  But if you're watching and I don't know you and you're not going to really take it, but how about this?
• 1:10:32
  How about there is so much love, and I have so much love to give, and I have so much love to receive, and there is so much love out there, and there's an abundance of love. It's like the raindrops right now. It's raining, and the raindrops to gather them, you have to be open. You have to open up your branches and your leaves to collect the love. So you have to be willing and open to gather it to receive the love. But just so you know, there is so much love for some from someone who has seen the love.
• 1:11:04
  There's so much.
• 1:11:06
  There is so much love. There's so much love. There's so much love.
• 1:11:11
  There's so, so, so. There's so much love.
• 1:11:15
  There's so much love out there and in here, right here.
• 1:11:21
  There's so much love.
• 1:11:24
  And I want it for you.
• 1:11:27
  I want to share what I have. I want to grow what I have. I want your love to grow as well.
• 1:11:33
  So I'll leave you with that.
• 1:11:36
  There'll be a quiz later on the names of the characters.
• 1:11:41
  I can't stop joking. I'm trying to joke because joking is fun, because lightness and. Lightness and laughter. Remember, laugh yourself into Laugh.
• 1:11:54
  I've been Bradley Shravenau. I've been Bradley Shravenau. I'm still Bradley Shravano. And I am Martijn and Henri. And go.
• 1:12:00
  And these three are. They're working lately. They're playing, but they're working.
• 1:12:07
  All right, I'll leave you with that. There is so much love.
• 1:12:12
  Allow it to come into you. Allow it. Allow yourself to receive it. Because there's a lot. There's so much.
• 1:12:20
  See you next time.
