• 0:01
  Yeah but i'm actually glad too oh i'm sorry go ahead oh i was just gonna say
• 0:08
  so update me on your world there gary i haven't gotten a chance to talk to you
• 0:12
  you see and that and that's kind of,
• 0:16
  the predicament i'm in it's like i'm very happy and i'm moving forward so much
• 0:21
  stuff but and i'll be honest it's it's cold without having you there i think i really got,
• 0:30
  used to the fact that we
• 0:33
  were chatting constantly especially on
• 0:36
  Marco Polo and all and I know you had the phone failure but
• 0:39
  look at how beautifully crystal clear this phone you know video is and the sound
• 0:45
  is working oh I know I I've downloaded Marco Polo but I haven't sent you one
• 0:51
  yet But I'm just thinking like this phone change has been like,
• 0:57
  like, I'm just pretending it's like a quantum leap, man. I'm in a new reality.
• 1:02
  Like you don't even the trouble that I've had with this. Like,
• 1:08
  and I was thinking about it because today's the year since I've been on TikTok.
• 1:14
  I've needed a new phone for since I was pregnant with Ruby.
• 1:18
  I thought, you know what, by next Christmas, we'll all get new phones because we need them.
• 1:24
  And we just barely are all getting them now. You know what I mean?
• 1:29
  And so it's just like, I think I just kind of gave up on my phone a little bit.
• 1:36
  And it's and it's interesting because I'm at a point where, see,
• 1:40
  that's my phone, but it's like it's my laptop.
• 1:43
  It's it's my car. It's my drive to work. It's the construction everywhere.
• 1:48
  It's the rules, my apartment places.
• 1:50
  It's the it's the like the everything, you know what I mean?
• 1:53
  And so I'm like trying to figure out how to blend it.
• 1:57
  All together into something and and
• 2:00
  I don't I don't really know and I just kind of was giving up and
• 2:03
  I was just floating off into a like an abyss I guess for like the last month
• 2:09
  I almost told you that I was like just tell everybody I fell down a cosmic hole
• 2:13
  and I'll come back when I've reintegrated with my inner child but then I just
• 2:19
  I really felt like you know what like,
• 2:21
  of all places to just show up messy church is
• 2:24
  probably one of those places you're supposed to be able to do that so you
• 2:28
  know that's kind of my whole concept with what I wanted to build with
• 2:31
  it so I should probably just show up now I
• 2:34
  forgot the point oh in talking to
• 2:37
  you yes I'm I'm really hoping that the
• 2:40
  phone just makes everything like I just feel
• 2:43
  like it's going to give me more time I don't I don't
• 2:46
  really know how much time I spend trying to
• 2:49
  open everything and then like things
• 2:52
  close out and things don't save and things you know
• 2:54
  what I mean I'm constantly like redoing things and I
• 2:57
  just like kind of fell into an abyss and I'm
• 3:00
  just I just really want to come out of the hole and I'm hoping my phone's the
• 3:06
  way to start that's all yeah well I hope you come out of the hole too because
• 3:11
  like I said there's so much on my mind that I just want to share a few but then
• 3:15
  I also realized too yeah you got a new phone and I know it takes a lot to start.
• 3:19
  Re-downloading everything, get everything that you need on there.
• 3:21
  So I said, I'm not going to interrupt you with texts or videos because while
• 3:26
  you're in the middle of downloading shit, you got me coming in to annoy you.
• 3:29
  So yeah, I didn't want to do that.
• 3:33
  But at that same time, yes, I miss you to death and I'm moving,
• 3:39
  you know, I'm still moving forward and you always have space with me. You need it, take it.
• 3:45
  I'm not worried about it, but yeah, I definitely...
• 3:49
  Want to talk more because there's
• 3:52
  so many ideas going on in my head and I want to put them out there.
• 3:56
  But I think the other beauty behind it, we can move together separately.
• 4:06
  It's not hard. We're still progressing.
• 4:09
  We're still showing up for the Thursday sermons. It still works.
• 4:13
  So there's no forces you
• 4:18
  know no nothing that i have to force you into or
• 4:21
  you have to show up for this it's working regardless
• 4:24
  and i'm always thinking about you so you
• 4:28
  know it's that's always there uh so yeah
• 4:33
  i think that's the beauty of this it really is so
• 4:37
  yeah there's a bunch of things but you know to be quite
• 4:39
  honest i've been kind of sitting back myself i'm not
• 4:43
  doing too much like i said i've been doing some of the meditations and just
• 4:48
  some quick stuff that i'm putting you know up for the content on the behind
• 4:52
  the paywall so hopefully people could pick up on that too i'm looking forward
• 4:57
  to that yeah i'm really excited to start putting things on there as well.
• 5:03
  I'm just really excited about all of it.
• 5:06
  When we were talking a lot, we came up with so many good ideas.
• 5:10
  And I just really want to put at least half of those into play.
• 5:16
  Man, we were coming up with so many good things.
• 5:18
  But I think neither of us were quite ready.
• 5:22
  And I wanted us to be ready by the time we started the church.
• 5:26
  But as we were moving, I realized that's just not how life works.
• 5:29
  So we just be starting the church.
• 5:33
  Right. But, but I'm watching it all, you know, I was telling you how I felt
• 5:38
  like a lot of things were like clicking into place in the world.
• 5:41
  And I, and I do always seem to rebound after it's kind of funny.
• 5:44
  I don't know why I thought that I wasn't going to this time, but, um,
• 5:50
  But yeah, I'm hoping everything kind of just opens up here shortly.
• 5:59
  New phone, I'm playing in a new structure, and this one's all simple.
• 6:03
  Like I told you, you just love it. It has like four main concepts, just four.
• 6:10
  That's great. Yeah, I look forward to it because, you know, you had that one
• 6:15
  TikTok where you had your whiteboard and you're doing all of the, and I'm,
• 6:21
  I was sitting looking at that and I'm saying, you know, I would pay you to watch
• 6:27
  this and to learn from it.
• 6:28
  It was so great.
• 6:31
  You're talking about the one about recursive timelines, right?
• 6:35
  Yeah. I was going to kind of go into those same concepts again on Tuesday when
• 6:40
  we were going to record, but my internet just like crapped out.
• 6:44
  Which we still got to think about redoing because we got that. Yes.
• 6:48
  Yes. I really want to try and see if I can really put all my theories on time
• 6:53
  in like one little video.
• 6:55
  I've never gotten to look at it all in one place. That would be really fun.
• 6:59
  And it'd be really fun to see what your theories are on time,
• 7:02
  because I don't think I've really discussed time with anybody in quite some time now.
• 7:09
  Imagine that. Well, I look forward to that because, yeah, I got some thoughts and ideas about it.
• 7:15
  And I would love to sit down and just record that episode.
• 7:18
  I'm also going to try and get, especially on these Thursday nights,
• 7:21
  I want to get a Lane podcast.
• 7:23
  And see if she has anything. And maybe she wants to join us in these.
• 7:27
  Maybe give a five or ten minute talk too as well.
• 7:29
  Because I'd like to start including her. But I know she's behind the scenes.
• 7:32
  She's probably recording something too. For us. So I'm looking for that.
• 7:38
  And like I said. I reach out to Halos. She's definitely excited about doing something.
• 7:44
  I would love it. As like a reoccurring guest. I would even love for her to have her own show.
• 7:51
  Did you? I'll see.
• 7:53
  Did you get a chance to see if she'd be interested in doing any sound bowls during our sermons?
• 7:59
  Or I think I said that too late when you'd already messaged her, right?
• 8:04
  I believe so. So I didn't really bring it up, but that's why I said,
• 8:07
  all right, I don't know. Because I think she's got schoolwork. I don't know.
• 8:10
  So if she's doing that, let her get in touch and tell us straight up,
• 8:17
  this is what I would like to do.
• 8:18
  And then I'll say, okay, can you record a couple of sound bowls? because i
• 8:22
  have a pad here where i could hit
• 8:24
  a button and it'll play whatever is recorded
• 8:27
  on it i could record her sound bowl stuff and like if doing any of my meditation
• 8:32
  so if we need a moment where like the energy is getting too much i could hit
• 8:35
  a button and i'll put the uh sound on i think that would be cool right now it
• 8:41
  would be because right now all i got is that stupid thing,
• 8:48
  that's pretty funny that's pretty funny I got that our audience and a laugh track,
• 9:00
  that's what it has so I would like to record our own stuff sounds would be great
• 9:06
  that was funny wasn't it that was pretty funny.
• 9:11
  So yeah plus this new camera too do.
• 9:16
  Damn, the freaking quality is amazing. And the quality of yours on your new
• 9:20
  phone is absolutely amazing too.
• 9:23
  Yeah, you were telling me about your quality last time and I'm like, yeah, I'm sure it is.
• 9:29
  It looks terrible to me all the same.
• 9:33
  But I see it now. It does look very nice. Yeah, it does.
• 9:38
  It's got a really good resolution to it. So yeah, I think...
• 9:43
  That's really the only thing that's been going on, but I'll definitely want
• 9:48
  to talk to you about setting up for the next recording for the Nexus.
• 9:51
  Halos is on this Monday, so I'm looking forward to that episode to be put out.
• 9:56
  And so anytime from now till next Sunday night, next Sunday night,
• 10:02
  we should be able to record something.
• 10:04
  So we got time to do it because we're still one show ahead.
• 10:07
  Well and this experience on my
• 10:10
  phone here i feel so chill like
• 10:13
  this is going to open so many doors for us to be able to
• 10:16
  like record more things holy crap i would
• 10:19
  like to say that i would want to do on this weekend but i am kind of in a weird
• 10:23
  uh place so maybe we can use that preemptively but i would like to at least
• 10:29
  chat this weekend for sure marco polo and if we don't get to recording We'll
• 10:33
  just resume on our Tuesdays because that would still put us on track for Monday, right?
• 10:39
  That definitely should. The following Monday? Okay. Yeah, because like I said,
• 10:43
  this coming Monday, we already have a show.
• 10:45
  So from then until like the previous or the next Sunday.
• 10:48
  And then I forgot because I got a bunch of three-day weekends.
• 10:51
  And then at the end of the month, I'm going to go down to Kentucky.
• 10:53
  So as long as we could get a couple of shows recorded in there.
• 10:56
  Because I do want to skip one Monday because I wanted – because we're – June,
• 11:01
  we're going to go probably into the next season.
• 11:04
  Oh, so we're skipping a week for the season change? Yeah, I think that'll be
• 11:08
  easy. We'll still do our Thursday night sermon, but I think we'll just give
• 11:11
  a quick little break in between.
• 11:14
  This way we could start coming up with some ideas or maybe just record some
• 11:17
  extra stuff during that week.
• 11:20
  Yes, yes, most definitely. And by the way, May 28th is Ruby's birthday.
• 11:27
  Oh, okay. And so that's a Thursday, and I don't think I'll come to that one.
• 11:34
  Yeah and that'll be great because i think that'll be a perfect time
• 11:36
  to reach out to like a lane or something and have somebody
• 11:39
  else come in i think that'd be perfect if they want to depending on what we're
• 11:44
  doing like i was still gonna listen i'll just kind of like pop on and and leave
• 11:48
  myself on mute maybe like however you put me in the green room or whatever like
• 11:52
  i'm a normal person you're far from normal buddy i don't want you to be a normal person.
• 12:00
  Yeah but that's what i was thinking for that time because like i really want
• 12:04
  to stick to the commitment but then i was like church is supposed to add to
• 12:07
  your life and we don't want to fall into the hole of feeling like it's a thing
• 12:11
  so so that was kind of what i was doing but
• 12:14
  um yeah i can't believe she's gonna be too is that it just kind of blows my mind a little bit,
• 12:21
  And she's just such an interesting one. She's almost potty trained.
• 12:24
  She's almost finished potty training herself there.
• 12:28
  Great, great for you.
• 12:32
  Yeah. Good. Well, happy birthday to her.
• 12:35
  I'll definitely keep that in the back of my mind. I'll try and reach out to
• 12:38
  Elaine and see if she can fill in. That'll be perfect because,
• 12:41
  hey, she's a minister now.
• 12:44
  So she needs to do something. If not, I'm sure you'll come up with something
• 12:49
  very beautiful to do all on your own.
• 12:51
  So i appreciate that and i certainly will i mean i'm not worried about you know
• 12:55
  doing it solo but i know i need you you know that's just the way it is but yeah
• 12:59
  if if you can't make it we could always have a lane fill in so that would be
• 13:03
  perfect so i appreciate it i really do man,
• 13:07
  it's good to see you with a phone i know you're like so clear and it's like
• 13:13
  coming through also wonderful like you have no idea like it's just amazing,
• 13:18
  I know I know it was certainly great.
