  Speaker 3: easier or better, you know, for a while. But yeah,
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: we're in twenty twenty five now. Shockingly, I've been writing
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty five because usually it used to take me
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: months before I wrote the correct year.
• 0:53
  Speaker 2: I haven't had to write it yet. I don't think tomorrow.
• 0:56

  Speaker 3: That year flew. It flew, and we've been gone for since.

  Speaker 3: much needed oh my.

  Speaker 2: God, so needed. I can't tell you how we like relaxed.
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: I felt we didn't even go anywhere.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: No, it's just you know, shutting down your brain a
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: little bit more and not stressing out about things, seeing family,
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: having fun, you know, eating good food, and it's it
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: was nice. It was really nice.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah. We came back to like thousands of emails.

• 1:41
  Speaker 2: and emails. Yep, how many emails are you up to buy?
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Let's see. I mean, I don't I feel like this
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: is all of them included, because I have to like,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: say nine, all right, so I think it's showing me

  Speaker 3: It's it's a lot. We've been gone for what two weeks?
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: Three weeks?
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Almost three weeks because last week I was sick.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so it's it's I'm sure we're gonna be That's
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: why the next month has been catching up playing ketchup.
• 2:24
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's the negatives of taking a break. Then
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you have to play catch up and then you're stressed
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: out again.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and then like we're already planning, I said
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Talala the other day, I'm like, let's just skip Valentine's
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Day because whoa, we don't really do anything anyway, but
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: we just need a break.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: We have to catch up and have to catch up. Yeah.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Besides that, it's just like Christmas. We got, as you
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: guys know, we got amazing, amazing stuff, but so much
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: of it and for me and her on our own,
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: it was a lot. So we're still playing ketch up
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: here and yeah, yeah, we'll see you guys. Is probably
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: what Mother's Day or what are we shooting for next
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: Eastern Mother's.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: Day, Eastern's Day? I don't even know what's in between.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: We really need like an intern or an assistant. That's
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: what we really need. So if anybody is in our
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: local area and wants to be like an intern for us,
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: let us know.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Because we really need we need someone.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: There has been a lot going on in the news lately,
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: locally and nationally. Nationally, we have the fires that are
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: happening you know, we went through that locally, but LA
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: is completely like gone, Yeah, it looks.
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: Like a war zone. Horrible, And reading the stories, it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: just so upseting. Some of the stories that I read.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: There was one it's upset and I don't want to
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: bring down the mood, but it's just like really heartbreaking.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: This father who was an amputegue he had one leg.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: He had a child with celvere palsy.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: I heard that.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he died that he couldn't get the lift the
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: child to get him out of the house because of
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: whatever his wheelchair, whatever it is, and the father having
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: one leg, and he had the chance to leave the
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: child there I guess the kid and I don't know
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: how old he was, but the kid was saying, just
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: leave me, just leave me, get out, Dad, and he
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: said no, and he sat with him and they both
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: died in the fire. So the father sacrificed his life
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: so that his child, his son, wouldn't die alone. And
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: it breaks my heart. I'm getting all emotional right now.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: But all these kinds of stories coming out of LA.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: You know, they always say look for the good, look
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: for the good, And there's been a ton of good.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: There's been there's there's volunteers and other countries coming to
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: help us, and you know all the donations that are
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: going on. But then there's the bad and the depressing
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: stories and the heartbreak, and yeah, my heart goes out
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: to them. It is it's scary.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Maybe Spencer and Heidi need to hear that story from
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: the Hills the news. They are the only real celebrities
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: that are really like going after like they want money,
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: they want to rebuild their house, which I understand, but
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: you're famous, you have money, you know. I'm sure the
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: person that had CP and the amputated leg didn't have
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: as much money.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: Issue.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: You know, what it probably is is that they were
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: hasbins And I'm wondering if they weren't really making much
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: money after that, because are they are they doing anything?
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Do they have a company, do they have business? Are
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: they in shows anymore?
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're in shows. I don't know. I
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: don't follow them. Yeah apparently, I mean what has been
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: coming up on TikTok. I believe he has his own
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: crystal business, so yeah, you could buy like crystals off
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: of him. I'm not really sure, to be honest with you,
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: but I do know that she has music out because
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: he's promoting it and he was trying to get her
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: to number one on iTunes. I believe, and I guess
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: it happened. So I guess if you become number one,
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: you get like royalty or something. But you know, the
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: royalties that you get are like five sons, yeah, ten sons,
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: you know, maybe a dollar. What is that going to
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: do for you?
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: You know? You know.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: He also said that he went to his parents' second home,
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: so they're renting the parents second home. Well, that's great
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: for you. That's sad that you lost your house and
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: your childhood stuff for the kids. You know, I feel
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: for you, but you have family and other resources available
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: to you. And then your second house is on the beach.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, oh my god, that sucks.
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: You know, so we're near the beach. I don't know,
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: but it's just put yourself in those people's shoes. Yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: you know, And I know if he's listening, which I
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: know he's not, but if he is listening, he's probably
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: gonna be like, you know, you don't know what we've
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: gone through. And you know, no, I don't know what
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: you've gone through, but you are way better off than
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: most people.
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: And that's what I was meaning was that I think
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: maybe the hardshift comes from they might have paid that
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: house off when they were doing really well in the
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: industry and then now and they were living that life
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: without all that money coming in. But like, okay, it's
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: paid off. Now it burnt down. Now they have nothing.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: Now they start from scratch, you know, And that's probably
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: why they're freaking out a little bit. Is like, you know,
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: I don't know, I could be wrong, but everyone's going
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: through it. And like Seanna said, there's people way way
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: worse off than you. Count your blessings and we we
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: we feel for you. But it's kind of it seems
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: kind of cringey going on TV and online and begging
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: for people to donate money or whatever else they're asking for.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: It's a little cringey.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: So last week I was flipping through Facebook and I
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: see a post, you know, in the one of the
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: local groups saying that there's a man walking around town
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: and he's going up to people's doors and looking in
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: and you know, just really weird. And he had like
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: tags on and somebody had written, you know, like he
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: was just looking for like a salesman, Yeah, for like
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: solar panels. And other people were like, you know, he's
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: walking around looking indoors. So I just thought it was
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: a little weird. So I'm like, you know, I tell you.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, you're like, my mom
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: goes out to get the mail, and you're like, I
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: think that's the guy. And I'm like what. They're like,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that's the guy walking by your house And.
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: It was I know, and we had a zoom in
• 8:42
  Speaker 3: on that we did.
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: So I look on my phone. I have vivin home
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: security cameras and as he was walking by, the camera
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: went off like it whistles and then it goes you
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: are being recorded, and he looked up and just kept walking.
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: So with that announcement of the cameras, it deterred him
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: from coming to my house, and probably my mom scared him,
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: you know. But I was like, Mom, don't go outside,
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: but she was already outside, so you know, I asked her.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I'm like, did he say anything to you? And she's like, no,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: I just ran back in the house. She didn't even
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: see the posts at first, you know. I told her
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: about it when she came in. She said, he looked
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: like he was up to something.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I saw him outside because I walked out to
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: the window to look and yeah, he seemed like something
• 9:34
  Speaker 3: was missing up there in that rain. So you never
• 9:37
  Speaker 3: can be too careful, you know.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: No, but thank god I had those cameras and they
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: went off.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's that. It's great when you have something like
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: that that makes an announcement, Hey, you're being recorded right now.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Just so it's saying some people might be some people
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: might not care, some burglars or bad people, but for
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: the most part, I think like ninety percent are gonna
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: like not the house I'm targeting.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah, especially you know, I was thinking about it. I
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: get a lot of deliveries for the show and Amazon personally,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: and every time that they drop off a package, you know,
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: it alerts them that they're being recorded. So I'm like, hmm,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: don't steal my packages. Yeah, you know, because you see
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: that all the time porch thieves coming and just taking
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: packages of people's Yeah. So yeah, I love my Vivent
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: security system And I could even turn the heat up
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: and down from my phone because it has like a
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: heat system in my house. Yeah, So I like that
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: as well about it.
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: I love that because when I'm in bed in the morning,
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: especially I'm always freezing when I wake up, and I
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: dread getting out of bed to go raise the temperature.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: So if I could do it for my phone, that
• 10:53
  Speaker 3: would be amazing.
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, you could actually set it so like at
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: ten o'clock at night. Let's say I have it on
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: a schedule. I think it's like ten thirty at night
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: to turn the heat down to sixty three, and then
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: in the morning I turn it up manually. Yeah, and
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: then at eleven pm my doors lock.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: Oh that's awesome.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because sometimes I forget to lock my doors, but
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: they they lock automatically at eleven pm. And then if
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: you unlock the door, you know, coming home. Two minutes
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: after you come home, it locks the door.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: That scared me. Coming it scared me.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I still have to get used to it because I'll
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: hear it and I'm like, oh my god, who's here?
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you come in. You if you don't lock the door,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: and then you're doing something here, your door is locking itself,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: Like what the hell?
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's good.
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: That is I've seen so many videos on Instagram where
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: someone's bringing groceries into their house and you know they're
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: then they're putting them away. They forget that they didn't
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: lock the door. That would be you, Yes, that would
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: be me. And then there's a man who saw them
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: what they were doing and targeted them and came in
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: the house and she starts screaming, but he's already in
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: the house. So that is amazing that it does lock
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: behind you, so there's no mistakes to me.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm speaking of like having an intruder. You could
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: even like if there's so if you're like held by
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: like knife point or something or gunpoint and they say,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: like turn off the alarm, you could put in a
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: secret code. I don't even remember what the code is,
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: but you could put in a like a code and
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: it'll automatically call the police station.
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: Oh so you could tell them, oh, I'm typing in
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: the code like to shut it down. But that's like
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: you're that's yeah, okay, that's that's crazy.
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's it's really really cool. Yeah. I love it.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: I I like the the ease of access.
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I love it. I like the clarity of the
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: cameras when I'm watching the video. The other day, my
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: daughter was at Shawna's house and she fell. I don't
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: I don't know how she fell. That I was able
• 13:02
  Speaker 3: to backtrack and watch that and the video because we
• 13:05
  Speaker 3: were watching the video and it was clear you could
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: hear her. You could hear me.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: I heard you blowing in her face.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it could hear me, because my daughter when she fell,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: she held her breath and she was turning blue. I
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: was freaking out. And I don't even know who told
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: me this. It's probably like an old wives thing, but
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: when someone's holding their breath, they won't breathe. If you
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: blow in their face, Supposedly it makes them take a
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: breath in. I don't know, but you hear me going
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: blowing in my daughter's face like Juliana Julia Julia, and
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: she goes limp in my arms and then she takes
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: a breath and starts screaming. But the camera picked that up.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: It picked up me breathing like blowing in her face,
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: which I thought it was awesome.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I thought it was a little weird.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's weird, I'm saying, but it's good that
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: it could pick up that sound. Yeah, yeah, it's weird,
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: but I don't know. That's what my instinct was to
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: do because someone had.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: Told me that maybe I need to put it up higher.
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: So that way it could reach like the whole living room.
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know, we'll play around with it, but I
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: love it. Check out vivint dot com and it's the
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: home security system that we have and I absolutely love it.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I have the funniest well, I don't
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: know if it's the funniest story, but it was pretty
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: funny to me. This past weekend, my husband last minute
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: wanted to go see Den of Thieves too, and you know,
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: we like number one, so he's like, oh, let's go
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: see it. He had a movie ticket from Christmas, so
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: we rush out, and I remember he wanted to sit
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: more in the middle, but the seats next to the
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: middle were like the seats that he wanted were taken,
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: and so he picked the seats right next to it.
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: So we get there and the people that bought those
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: seats next to us it was a little kid, two
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: little kids, and a father. And I remember thinking like,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: as I was sitting down, like, wow, they look young.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: This is a rated R movie and it's pretty pretty gory.
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: You know, it's pretty violent. I was like, all right,
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: I'm not gonna judge. I'm not gonna be one of
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: those parents sit down, and then Mike's looking at the kids.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: He looks at me. He goes like, they're dressed up
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: in Sonic outfits. So I look and they're in like
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: Sonic onesies. They have Sonic dolls in their hands, and
• 15:11
  Speaker 3: I'm like, and Sonic is out in the movies. So
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: Mike goes, oh, it's a movie. Yeah, it's a movie.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Oh I thought it was a video game.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Well it's also they made a movie like movie out
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: of it. So that's playing right now in the theater too.
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: So Mike goes, I wonder if the father is watching
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: this movie first, and then he's gonna take the kids
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: to see Sonic. And I'm like, yeah, maybe, but that's
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: that's kind of messed up, like he shouldn't have kids here.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: You know, this is a bad movie. So now the
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: previews start, and you know how they gear the previews
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: towards what kind of movie you're watching. Stuff you're watching
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: a kid's movie. The previews are usually cartoons and romance.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: It's usually romantic stuff like this is a gory drama, thriller,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: action movie.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: So, as you can imagine, the previews were really really bad.
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: And the first movie comes up and it's like about
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: this woman or thing that kills men, like she stabs them,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: she just cuts their necks open. And so they're showing
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: this girl like slicing the man's neck open. And I
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: look over to see the kids and they are their
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: eyes are so big, and they're they look scared. And
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: the father looks mortified, and he's looking around the room
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: like what the you know, what the fuck? And he
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: tells the littlest one, He's like, go to the bathroom.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: Go to the bathroom. So she runs out, and I'm like, Mike,
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: I really don't think he's in the right movie. And
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: Mike goes, I don't want to say anything, because, you know,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: like this is the problem with society. Sometimes you could
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: say something and people get snotty with you. You know
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: that he could have turned around, like mind your business,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: I'm taking my kids to see this. I'm the parent,
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: you know. Yeah, we didn't know what to do. And
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: then the next one was a sex scene, like really
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: graphic sex scene, and the father you saw the guy's
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: ass and like the girls like tits, you know, and
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: they were going at it on the counter, and I'm
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: like and I look over and the father's telling you know,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: talking to the kids, so he's not looking at the screen,
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: and Mike goes, are you are you in the wrong movie?
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: And the guy goes, what movie is this? Mike said,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Denna thieves too, and the guy's like, shit, we're supposed
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: to be in Sonic. And Mike goes, yeah, I had
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: a feeling, well, Sonic's not here, and he goes, they
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: told me to come down in this theater. And he
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: didn't even close his recliner. He grabbed the kids and
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: he booked it out of the movie theater. And I
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: was like, oh, boy, that wife or his baby mama,
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: or they're probably divorced. Who knows. She is gonna be
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: pissed when she finds out Daddy took us to see
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: and we saw this and that, you know. But Mike
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: doesn't think that they told them the wrong theater. Mike
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: thinks he bought the wrong tickets because those seats were
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: bought you know, on the apt Well, you've never really gone,
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: but you buy your tickets beforehand.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the last time I went to the movies was
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: to see Magic. Mike.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Oh jeez, that's a long time ago.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: That's the last time that I bought tickets and then
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: my friend bought tickets to see some It was some runner,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know, some movie with a runner. And that
• 18:11
  Speaker 2: was the last time that I went to the movies.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And I don't remember if she had to pick the
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: seats beforehand or not.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, I don't know when they started that.
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: But I do like it better because we used to
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: have to. You know, you got to rush to the
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: movie theater to get a good seat. Now you could
• 18:26
  Speaker 3: just pick the perfect seats, and I love it.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't go to the movies often. Number one,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: it's way too expensive. And number two, I'd rather just
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: watch it in the comfort of my own home, be
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: able to pause it.
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I get it. I mean certain movies I want
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: to see in the theater. I want that sound, I
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: want the darkness. I want the big screen, but a lot. Yeah,
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: just watch it at home. Just watch it at home
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: with a cheaper bag of popcorn. We got a small
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: bag of popcorn. It was ten dollars for a small
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: freaking bag of popcorn. I'm like, this is unbelievable.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: I couldn't.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, when my friend bought me my ticket because uh,
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: you know, she invited me to go, so her husband
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: didn't want to go, so she's like, will you go
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: with me? I said, I I'll goo. So it was
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: kind of like a chick movie anyway. So I said,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: you know, you bought me my ticket, I'll buy like
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: the popcorn in the soda. It was like fifty dollars.
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, you can't win. You can't win.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I said to the guy, I'm like, for one soda
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and one you know, the tub of it. Probably No,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: it wasn't a tub. It was like a maybe like medium,
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: a large, Yeah, enough for both of us. But she
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: didn't even eat the popcorn.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: Really, oh my god.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: So you know, it was all me and it gives
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: it makes me, you know, really sick. So I can
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: only just the butter. But I love it. I just
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: bought it home. But yeah, I couldn't believe it. I'm like,
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: did you like overcharge me?
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: No?
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: And he's like, no, these are the prices, ma'am. I'm like,
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: oh my god, this is why I never come here.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's ridiculous.
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: So, I don't know if you heard, but a local
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: father actually he went to the school that we all
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: went to. He had a daughter and he was supposed
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: to he was awarded full custody of her, and the
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: mother fled with her girl. She's three years old and
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: she's missing. And at first the police wouldn't get involved,
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I guess, But now that it's become such a news story.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: I don't know how it became such a new story
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: so quickly, but it did. But now that it's you know,
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: national news, the police and everybody.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, first they got to cover their butts.
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly. So I saw the news story and the mom,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I guess has some mental health issues and she had
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: written satanic messages in her closet.
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, that's all. Yeah that this is like
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: one of my episodes of Fronts. I hope it doesn't
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: end like that. But oh, that's so scary. And I'm
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: guessing no updates. They didn't find her. They have no
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: idea where she could have fled to.
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: No.
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: But my thing is is she's been missing since November.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: The mother, the little girl, and the mother's oldest child
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: is a little boy and he actually went to the
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: school that we went to, and they the school said
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: he's been out of school since November. So they've been
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: missing since like the end of November. Why didn't the
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: school call CPS and say, hey, this kid hasn't been
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: here since November. I mean maybe they did, but it's
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: not in the report, and there should have been a
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: missing child alert going off back in November, not January.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean why didn't did the father alert
• 21:53
  Speaker 3: the school like and say, hey, my kids are gone?
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: You know that? That's I'm confused about that too, because
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: if me and my husband were separated and he didn't
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: see his kids and he would call the school and say, hey,
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: you know my kids there, blah blah blah, I don't
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: I don't under This is all really confusing to me.
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: This whole story is a little weird.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, it's it's very confusing. Hopefully, you know,
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: more details come out about the case and about his situation,
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: but you know, we were like confused a little bit.
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: And then somebody in the family kind of like stepped
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: up and wrote like some stuff on Facebook saying like, listen,
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: he did get emergency full custody. Yeah, So for a
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: father to get emergency full custody, like, there had to
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: be something wrong with the mom.
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm exactly. So pray to God that those kids
• 22:48
  Speaker 3: are safe. Just let's just pray that she loves them
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: that much that she couldn't bear giving them up, and
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: she has them somewhere safe, because you hear bad stories
• 22:57
  Speaker 3: about this kind of stuff all the time. Oh God.
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I also want to add we talked about Zag on
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: a few episodes ago.
• 23:05
  Speaker 2: I think it was, Yeah, I think our holiday episode.
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: And how much we love them. And I am just
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: so grateful right now, so for you. As I said
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: last time, the first time ever with all my iPhones
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: I've ever had, I got the Zag camera lens cover
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: and I've never ever had one before on any of
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: my iPhones. Well, I have the new iPhone sixteen Pro,
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: very expensive, right, and I put the Zag camera lens
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: cover on when I was talking to you guys last
• 23:34
  Speaker 3: and it came in handy. I dropped my phone today
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: and the whole camera lens cover is shattered. Right now,
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: that would have been my camera lens on my phone
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: and I wouldn't have been able to fix that without
• 23:46
  Speaker 3: paying some astronomical fee probably, right. So I am just
• 23:51
  Speaker 3: so grateful I had on my phone because now it's protected.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: I gotta take it off and get a new one.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: But thank God for Zag. Thank God, whoever invented this,
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: thank god. So I would highly recommend getting one for
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: any of your iPhones. They have a few different models
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: out there for it. Go to zag dot com and
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: check out what they have. And protect your investment because
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: these phones are investments. They cost a lot of money,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: and in this day and age, yeah, we don't want
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: to be spending more money or buying new things. Protect it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: Speaking of not buying anything and not spending money, I
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: am doing a no spend twenty twenty five challenge.
• 24:26
  Speaker 3: Oh Jesus, this is gonna be hard for you, huh.
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: It's very, oh god, very hard. But I'm doing pretty
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: well with it. I told myself I would go out
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: to eat once a month unless there's like a party,
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: like a dinner party that we have to go to
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: or something. And no like going to TJ Max and
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Marshals and.
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Her favorite places.
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: Yes, no shopping, no shopping at Kohl's. And I'm doing really,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: really well. But so this is where it's actually kind
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: of funny. All these packages showed up like last week,
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: and my mom's like, thought, no shopping and I said,
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: I bought that beforehand, you know, before January first. She's
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: like yeah, right, yeah, right. She's like, you're lying, You're lying.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: So I pulled up each receipt and she's like, I
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: take that back. She's like, but it's still stuff you
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: didn't need. I said. It may not be stuff that
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: I need. I said, but it's Christmas stuff for next
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: year and it's on sale, so yes, I did need it,
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: and I bought it.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: This girl with her Christmas decorations, you have no idea.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: Shauna has so many. She could probably decorate a mansion
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: with the amount of Christmas decoration she has. And every
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: year she's like, I need to add more, I need
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: to add more.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: My mom actually said to me, she's like next before
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: next year comes, she's you know, and I buy more stuff.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: She said, why don't we go through the twelve boxes
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that you have, yes, in the garage, because this year
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: I just wasn't in the mood to like decorate or
• 26:03
  Speaker 2: really do anything, so I didn't pull everything out. But
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: I am going to pull everything out and you know what,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna keep what I want, donate what I don't want,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: and then go from there.
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, when she said I have twelve boxes in
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: the garage, I'm like, no, I don't.
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: Every year. I want you buy so many more Christmas decorations.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: In my head, I'm like Jesus, I haven't bought new
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: Christmas decorations since twenty fifteen. Maybe added the candle and
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: I did. I did buy garland two years ago, but
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: nothing more than that. It's crazy. Well, no, I lied.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: I lied the new house. I did buy red ornaments
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: to go my tree because in the old house they
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: were just white. So I did add red ornaments to it.
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: But I really like those red candy canes that you
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: have on the tree.
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, it's like burr lap red and burr lap.
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're cute, They're pretty. You're listening to and A
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: La La in on the phone today. We have Suzanne
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Geeseman and she is the author of The Awakened Way,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: which is a great book. I have not read it yet,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: but I have heard so much about it and I'm
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: really looking forward to actually reading it. It's a book
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: about how to. It's a guide basically to living a
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: consciously connected and divinely guided life, which I think we
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: all need, yes, especially like in this day and age.
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: So what made you want to write the book and
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: can you tell us a little bit about the book
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: for our listeners.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: Sure, I spent the first half of my life as
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: a Navy officer, and I had no real coping tools
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: other than what I learned in the Navy to basically
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: suck it up. That's literally what we said when things
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: went wrong. And then we had a family tragedy, the
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: death of my step daughter, and that started me looking
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: for deeper answers. And I discovered that we're all souls
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: right here right now. Now that's a spiritual term, but
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: we could call it consciousness and use scientific terms, whichever
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: you use. Ultimately, this book explains that we can tap
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: into inner resources that are connected to one connected field
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: where wisdom and guidance is available to all of us.
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: And there are practical tools that we can use to
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: find peace at any time when we shift beyond our
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: stories the drama.
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: So you're talking about like the stress in life.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Oh goodness, Yes, ongoing stress and even any little thing
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: that pops up or big tragedies, it doesn't matter, the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: tools would be the same.
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So what are some of those tools, Because I
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: need as many tools as I can get. I am
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: very stressed lately, you know, and for different reasons. But
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: I think the whole world is stressed lately.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: Right Well, the book dives into the fact that why
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: I say that we are souls now and what a
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: difference that makes when we think that our entire life
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: is just the story of me from birth to death,
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and we really suffer because there's no way out of
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: this right now. But we can go within into this
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: silence and discover that we can shift our viewpoint to
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: be an observer of our story. And if we can
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: do that, then what does that mean about consciousness and
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: who we really are? So there's one very easy tool
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: to begin with is what we call vegus nerve breathing,
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: where you just slow down for a moment, pause wherever
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: you don't necessarily do this while driving, and take in
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: a very slow breath, perhaps to the count of four,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: and then exhale to the count of six. Those extra
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: two seconds as you exhale put pressure on the vegus nerve,
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: the longest nerve in the body from the brainstin through
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: the torso, and that actually triggers the body's relaxation response.
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: If you notice how stressed you are before you take
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: one of these vegus nerve breaths, and notice how you
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: feel afterwards. There's a huge shift. It actually slows down
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: your brain waves from normal waking consciousness, which is known
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: as the beta brainwave state, to an alpha brainwave state,
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: which is much more relaxed and what is most common
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: during meditation. So I found that if I'm headed for
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: the refrigerator for a cookie or something that I really
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: don't need, if I stop and take one of those
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: breathe in four, breathe out six very slowly, suddenly craving
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: is gone because I was really only trying to sedate
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: the stress.
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: That makes sense, Yeah, I just tried to.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: How do you feel?
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: How do I feel? Okay?
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Maybe I breathed out too long, has some medical issues
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: where her lung probably may Yeah, that might work.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I feel more relied.
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Very good. You almost invariably will. But then another simple
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: one that's more mental and emotional than physical, like that
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: one was. Is this very simple phrase that will take
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: you from stuck in the drama to the bird's eye
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: perspective and neutrality. And that's no matter what is going
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: wrong in that moment, say isn't that interesting? And saying
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: that way, you've suddenly taken all judgment out of whatever
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: you're involved in, and in that pause and that space
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: that you've created by just observing with no judgment, isn't
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: that interesting? Now you can actually ask within what's a
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: better way to respond to this? Maybe there's a different
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: way to see this situation. I need some help here,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: and we can get into what you're asking who you're
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: asking that isn't that interesting? Works for little things and
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: huge things across the board.
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's almost kind of like, isn't this interesting? Why
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: is this happening to me? And then it kind of
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: like makes you think like, Okay, why is God putting
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: this situation in my hands?
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: And this is where being aware of our thoughts and
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: our words becomes an actual tool we can use because
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: as you notice, why is this happening to me? Now
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: you're back in the story right away. But what if
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: you were to change that praise to what opportunity is
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: here for me? Because this is happening? As the why
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: may not give satisfactory answers, why is always going to
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: end up that there's something to benefit from this? Ultimately,
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: you may come out stronger, you may get insights, you
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: may be able to help other people as a result
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: of what you're going through. So instead of why is
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: this happening to me? Which brings you into your story,
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: you open it up to what's the opportunity in this
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: for me? Isn't that interesting?
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Interesting? So one of your daily practices is bounce back ability.
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Can you explain what that is and how can we
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: navigate an increasingly chaotic world and bounce back from that?
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Well? The term you won't find it in the book.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: It's the one that a friend of mine came up with,
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: But I love it because it's all about resilience. When
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: you start asking questions such as, if I am able
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: to observe my story, my drama and not get caught
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: up in it, then what part of me is doing that?
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: What if this is a part of me that is
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: beyond the story? And we can call that the soul,
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: a field of energy and information that's tapped into a
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: larger field of energy and information. When you start doing
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: this self inquiry, you find an inner strength. You find
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: courage that is not accessible when you're in a restricted
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: state of why is this happening? And I can't stand this?
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: Just a few of those nice vagus nerve breaths and
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: then asking a question at the same time as you think,
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: what if I can get an answer beyond my normal
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: wait and consciousness that's helpful. Then you listen. You may
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: be absolutely amazed at the insights that flow.
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: It's just I think it's hard to reach that point
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: for me personally.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: So that's where I would recommend a practice. It's also
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: in the book called the Sip of the Divine, where
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: SIP stands for sit in peace. Three minutes a day.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: That's all you know. So many people will tell you
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: meditation is good for lowering stress. Absolutely, but I also
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: know that we're very busy these days. We're drawn in
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: so many directions. But what if you had a dedicated,
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: committed practice to three minutes a day sitting quietly, starting
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: with one of those vagus nerve breaths, and simply asking
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: what do I need to know right now to navigate
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: this moment or this day, and then listen. Pretty soon
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: you're going to start to notice how your own, this normal,
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: busy monkey mind just keeps bubbling up, and you set
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: the goal of noticing those thoughts, noticing if they're helpful
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: or not, and letting them go. In other words, you
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: become like the blue sky and All of these thoughts
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: that are keeping you stuck in the drama, keeping you
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: stuck in your story, are just clouds that float by.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: In these three minutes a day. You notice every cloud,
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: and if it's not helpful, this is a practice in
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: letting it go. But because you ask the question what
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: do I need to know now, Suddenly amongst all those
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: gray clouds, some thought or sensation or image is going
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: to pop up, and you're going to then say, wait
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: a minute, that's not my normal thought. That's a little helpful.
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: I never would have thought of that. Where did that
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: come from? So then you can stay in more than
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: three minutes if you'd like. But this is actually a
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: practice of training an expanded states of consciousness, carries out,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: carries over throughout the day. And if you're committed to
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: doing this three minutes a day, within three weeks, I
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: promise you you'll notice yourself being more calm. You'll notice
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: yourself noticing the unhelpful thoughts as they arise and saying, hey,
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to let that go, And you'll be
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: in the habit of asking for guidance from higher consciousness
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: rather than succumbing to the normal patterns. It's very powerful
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: three minutes a day.
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it sounds very powerful. So can you tell us
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: a little bit about the twenty first century spirituality?
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: Sure, that's the term that I coined for people who
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: they know they're on a spiritual path, but they think
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: there must be something more, and there is. There's science
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: to back up the fact that we are connected to
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: a much larger field consciousness. You could call it the
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: zero point field. Spiritual people might call it the acrostic records.
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: Some might call it God. There is an infinitely intelligent
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: source of information and guide that's available to all of us,
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: but it's beyond our human reality. It's beyond space and time.
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: Science has now proven that very quick that I can
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: tell you that. In twenty twenty two, the Nobel Prize
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: in Physics was awarded to scientists who did experiments in
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: the late nineteen hundreds of nineteen seventy years. So it's
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: that long for science to realize. Wait a minute. These
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: guys proved that if you take two subatomic particles that
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: were entangled, and you separate them by hundreds of miles
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: and you modify one of them, the other one instantly changes,
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: showing that at a sub atomic level, beyond, beneath the
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: physical world of matter, which we think is the only world,
• 38:56
  Speaker 1: there is a reality where time and distance don't matter.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: Everything is connected. So when we acknowledge that science says
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: we are all connected beyond space and time, how does
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: that help us in our lives now spiritually? Instead of
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: going to the objective world of matter where all our
• 39:17
  Speaker 1: problems are, we pause for those three minutes and we say, Okay,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: what if I can tap into this field of information
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: and energy and guidance beyond this world. What if I
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: get answers that I never could have thought of. Well,
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: then I don't have to just suffer. I don't have
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: to suck it up. I can get calm, I can
• 39:35
  Speaker 1: ask questions. And then when those questions come you say,
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: wait a minute, where did that come from? Is there
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: actually a sentient being? Or could there be guides that
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: are helping me here? And then you've really taken the
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: lid off of the box, to step outside that box
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: of normal human thinking. It is absolutely wondrous the connections
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: you can make.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: I definitely believe that there are are higher ups that
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: watch over.
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: You and guide you, no doubt, no doubt. Yes, I
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: can tell you that there's some stories in that book
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: that would that will really cause you to start rethinking
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: who we are and what kind of guidance is available.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: And my former job as a Navy commander and my
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: last assignment, I was the aide to the Chairman of
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: the Joint Chiefs of Staff. And I can tell you
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: that if I shared any of those stories then they
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: probably would have taken away my security clearance because they
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: sound outlandish and outrageous. But these are what I call
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: adventures and consciousness that are available to all of us.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: So what's fun is to when you get some guidance,
• 40:43
  Speaker 1: like you might say, go into the silence and say,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: what's the root cause of my physical challenges right now?
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Very helpful to follow your questions with
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: I don't know, because it clears your mind. And then
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: listen still notice your normal answers come up. You let
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: them float by, and then you might get some insights.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: What's really interesting is when you can say, who is
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: this talking to me? Now? Who is giving me this?
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: You might get an answer, and then I like to
• 41:17
  Speaker 1: ask for signs or evidence, say if I can trust
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: that this is actual guidance from beyond my story or
• 41:25
  Speaker 1: if I can trust that you are who you say
• 41:27
  Speaker 1: you are, what sign are you going to give me?
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: And I could tell you that the signs come in
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: such a way that many people end up gasping because
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: the signs are so in your face.
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: I believe that, I absolutely believe that. So where can
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: our listeners get your book The Awakened Way.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Oh, any of the online booksellers, Amazon, Gardens and Noble,
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: any bookstore would be able to order it. But it's
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: available all over the internet, and it's on audible.
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: Great.
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: It's gotten a lot of very good reviews because it's
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: it's very practical. Another name for it might be the
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: Human Being Handbook, And you might think, oh, I know
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: how to be human? And yeah, then I say, have
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: that working for you?
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I think you know, everyone could benefit from your book
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: and become a better human being.
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: I think, well, it's more about realizing that we are yes,
• 42:22
  Speaker 1: we are human, and we are also souls at the
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: same time. And when we learned that, we can shift
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: back and forth between soul awareness, which has the bigger picture,
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: and our human awareness, which, because of the filter of
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: the brain, is rather restricted to all of the information
• 42:40
  Speaker 1: and guidance that's available to us, we find ourselves much
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: more empowered, and we realize we're never alone. We realize
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: we're actually already loved without having to look out into
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: the outer world to get love. And I would love
• 42:55
  Speaker 1: to share with you a really cool thing that I
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: heard from my guides recently that's actually kind of funny,
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: but it's very helpful that one of our major challenges
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: is that most people don't think to go within and
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: ask for guidance. This when I say inner guidance, it's
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: not just coming from yourself with a little S. It's
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: coming from the oneself that we all share with a
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: capital S. The problem is we feel we're separate from that,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: and that we're separate from each other. That's the number
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: one challenge at the root of all of our challenges,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: the idea, based on physical appearances and our physical senses,
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: that we're separate from each other and from our source,
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: from God, from consciousness, from spirit, whatever you want to
• 43:42
  Speaker 1: call it. So we've learned to turn to outside sources
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: for guidance and help. So what do we do when
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: we need information? Right now? Most people would go, hey, Siri,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: but what if we added in two little letters that
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: are missing in hey Siri, And instead every time we
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: want to go hey Siri, we pause and we say, hey, spirit. Wow,
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: now you've just said you've opened a door of possibilities
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: that you might be able to tap into something that's
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: even wiser and it'll change your life.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Interesting. Well, I'm going to have to try that.
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's the listening part. And if you do that
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: sip of the Divine, there's the video about it on
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: my YouTube channel. Just type in zip of the Divine
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: and it'll come up how to do it if you
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: really spend those three minutes a day, and like I said,
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: three weeks will really cause a transformation. Of doing it daily,
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: you really will notice how the mind works and how
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: patterned it is. And once you start asking a question
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: of higher consciousness and getting new, fresh, creative, helpful healing answers,
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: this is a whole new resource which we'll provide that
• 45:06
  Speaker 1: bounce back cability that we were talking about earlier. You
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: just have to just to start.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you just have to like open up your brain
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: and let let the spirits in.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Well, here's another key there. The brain is an instrument.
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: It's like your cell phone. It receives and transmits energy information.
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: But It also filters out what's really here, what's more
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: present than we believe, such as right now, we'd all
• 45:36
  Speaker 1: agree that there are cell phone signals, TV signals, radio
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: signals all around us, but we can't detect them because
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: our brain isn't tuned to those frequencies. So we actually
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: want to bypass the brain. Get out of the brain.
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: You can literally drop your awareness out of the head
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: and move it into the center of the chest. So
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: get out of the head and into the heart and
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: literally move down there as if your consciousness resides in
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: the heart region. It's kind of hard to do while
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: you're just listening to a podcast or radio show. But
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: if after this call, you stop and move your awareness
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: down behind the heart area but don't see that area
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: as a place or a thing, become that feeling, sensing,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: knowing center of being. Do it repeatedly till you actually
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: start to see and feel from that state at the
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: same time, you hear and feel from that expanded state
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: at the same time, and now you'll be tapping into
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: the field with a capital F instead of thinking and
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: going back to old patterns. That's a game changer.
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: Well, I'm going to definitely try that. Thank you so much,
• 46:55
