0:28
Speaker 1: Enjoy your exploration. Hello and good morning everybody. How's everybody doing.
0:33
Speaker 2: I'm excellent. This is Mysterion calling from Toronto.
0:36
Speaker 1: Mysterian. How are you doing today?
0:40
Speaker 2: I'm doing amazingly amazing one.
0:42
Speaker 1: Oh dude. When you speak a language like that, people
0:45
Speaker 1: who say that word amazing, they've lived it and they
0:47
Speaker 1: want to share it. That means that you are on that.
0:50
Speaker 2: Path, absolutely no question about it. I live every day
0:55
Speaker 2: making sure that the day that I'm living in is
0:59
Speaker 2: just even a micro particle better than the day before.
1:02
Speaker 2: I love that. I love that's that's just the way
1:04
Speaker 2: that that I roll.
1:06
Speaker 1: When did you realize that it was time to make
1:08
Speaker 1: that investment in such a thought? Because that's a powerful
1:10
Speaker 1: mantra right there.
1:13
Speaker 2: Yes, It's been you know, a long time since I
1:17
Speaker 2: was able to really accept that that's the only way
1:21
Speaker 2: that people should be, you know, going about their life.
1:24
Speaker 2: I lived a long time essentially grasping at straws and
1:31
Speaker 2: hoping for the best. And I realized labor in life
1:34
Speaker 2: that you can't you can't grow in that headspace. You
1:39
Speaker 2: have to be appreciative. You have to be accepting of
1:43
Speaker 2: whatever comes your way. You have to be able to
1:46
Speaker 2: accept both the good and the bad. And sometimes even
1:49
Speaker 2: when the bad happens, you have to accept that mistakes
1:53
Speaker 2: and you know, curves in the road are just there
1:56
Speaker 2: to build upon. You know, yesterday, for example, I mean
2:00
Speaker 2: a micro task, but I was learning on dual Lingo
2:03
Speaker 2: and I was getting frustrated and I was not able
2:05
Speaker 2: to you know, remember four or five words and they
2:07
Speaker 2: kept coming up and I was just ready to throw
2:10
Speaker 2: the app down, and literally the app said, hey, getting
2:14
Speaker 2: it wrong is still learning? And I went, yeah, it's
2:17
Speaker 2: absolutely cool.
2:20
Speaker 1: Don't you love moments like that because you can take
2:22
Speaker 1: that to a live audience and share it with somebody
2:25
Speaker 1: who wants to receive it.
2:28
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And you know, with my line of work,
2:31
Speaker 2: people see it and they you know if you come
2:34
Speaker 2: in it's just for entertainment, which is my purpose. But
2:38
Speaker 2: you would not believe how many people at the end
2:40
Speaker 2: of the night will text me or email me, or
2:43
Speaker 2: you know, post something on social media where they say,
2:45
Speaker 2: you know, you said something that really resonated, or when
2:49
Speaker 2: you spoke to me on stage it felt there was
2:51
Speaker 2: a connection, or and it's not something psychic or something
2:55
Speaker 2: you know, esoteric, it's just that moment where they go,
2:59
Speaker 2: oh my god, my point of view has been changed,
3:01
Speaker 2: or my perspective is down a little bit more positive.
3:05
Speaker 2: Whatever that outcome is, it's you know, it's needed for them. See.
3:09
Speaker 1: I love it that you say it that way, because
3:11
Speaker 1: you know, you know how it is in this everyday world.
3:12
Speaker 1: You have a lot of non believers. And my answer
3:15
Speaker 1: is you haven't seen mysterian then until you see mysteria
3:17
Speaker 1: in keep your comments to yourself because when you go
3:20
Speaker 1: in there and you experience the moment, now you whatever
3:23
Speaker 1: opinion you've got, trust me, it's not going to be
3:25
Speaker 1: I don't believe in that stuff. You will, you will.
3:29
Speaker 2: But the thing is they don't have to. They don't
3:31
Speaker 2: have to. You know, I had somebody say to me
3:34
Speaker 2: about I don't know, maybe three or four weeks ago,
3:36
Speaker 2: they said, what do you do when somebody comes to
3:39
Speaker 2: a show or you know, says to you, I don't
3:42
Speaker 2: believe you. And I think that's great, you don't have
3:45
Speaker 2: to and I think that that disarmism. It it's a
3:48
Speaker 2: learning because I'm not here to pull the wool over
3:51
Speaker 2: anyone's eyes, and I'm not here to start a religion,
3:54
Speaker 2: but definitely here to create a moment where the impossible
3:59
Speaker 2: is possible. And I'm not talking about ending spoons. That's
4:02
Speaker 2: just representative. I'm talking about making a minor change that
4:06
Speaker 2: can lead to a huge result, and that could be
4:10
Speaker 2: done through so many different avenues. And you can't you
4:14
Speaker 2: can't hate on that. You know. You can say, well,
4:16
Speaker 2: you know, I don't believe you. You know. And some
4:19
Speaker 2: people they're going to live their life. They're going to
4:20
Speaker 2: be stuck in a little box. They're not going to
4:22
Speaker 2: want to get out of it. There's nothing more than
4:25
Speaker 2: I can say to them as all the best, that
4:27
Speaker 2: I'm here when you're ready. But all it takes is
4:30
Speaker 2: just one little movement, one a little motion, and the
4:34
Speaker 2: outcome is unbelievable. You know, one guy I know who
4:40
Speaker 2: has been looking for employment and getting down on himself.
4:44
Speaker 2: I just said to him, look, take outside the box,
4:48
Speaker 2: employ yourself, find what you love to do. You're not
4:51
Speaker 2: going to be rich overnight, but do what you need
4:53
Speaker 2: to do. And you know, within a couple of months
4:56
Speaker 2: of him self promoting, he's dog walking doing things like that,
5:01
Speaker 2: and he has a little bit of income coming in.
5:03
Speaker 2: But it's that headspace. Yep.
5:05
Speaker 1: Yeah, see this is the reason why that in talking
5:07
Speaker 1: with my wife, I said that this You help people
5:10
Speaker 1: find their needle in a haystack, and you do it
5:12
Speaker 1: in a way that it's their discovery. All you do
5:16
Speaker 1: on that stage, which I by the way, I call
5:17
Speaker 1: an open door, and inside your open door you allow
5:21
Speaker 1: them to step in, but then you give them the
5:23
Speaker 1: ingredients on how to find that needle and a haystack.
5:27
Speaker 2: Absolutely absolutely, and most people do. Most people want to. Yeah.
5:32
Speaker 2: And you know, even if somebody comes in all bravado,
5:37
Speaker 2: guns and blazing, ready to do these things and they
5:40
Speaker 2: get sidetracked or they stop, that's okay. As long as
5:44
Speaker 2: they took a few stages and a few steps, they're
5:46
Speaker 2: going to see that those few things do have an outcome. Now,
5:50
Speaker 2: of course, for maximum outcome and maximum result. If you
5:54
Speaker 2: constantly feed that beast, then you're constantly reinventing and changing
5:59
Speaker 2: and criticizing their own you know, I take the word fault,
6:03
Speaker 2: but your own nuances that you don't feel are working
6:07
Speaker 2: for you, you're going to get more results. I do
6:09
Speaker 2: it every day. I'm never happy with what ian I'm
6:11
Speaker 2: don't get near I'm happy, but I've never satisfied with
6:14
Speaker 2: what my results are, because then it becomes fagnant. You know.
6:19
Speaker 2: Even recently, about two years ago, I had a duo
6:24
Speaker 2: act and we did exceptionally well. We were doing amazingly
6:27
Speaker 2: on television and on America's Got Talent and having Talor
6:30
Speaker 2: and all these incredible things. And then the act split
6:34
Speaker 2: and for the first time and over a decade, things
6:39
Speaker 2: just kind of came to a grinding hallo and I said,
6:42
Speaker 2: oh no, they wanted the duo, they didn't want me.
6:47
Speaker 2: And then I realized that's just a though, that's just us,
6:50
Speaker 2: and all I have to do is repackage a little
6:53
Speaker 2: bit and send a different message out. And it takes time,
6:56
Speaker 2: It takes a lot of you know, every step has
6:58
Speaker 2: a million moving parts. But I just put my boots
7:02
Speaker 2: to the ground and you know, with the help of
7:04
Speaker 2: my wife, and we really re establish what it is
7:08
Speaker 2: that I want to deliver, what it is I want
7:10
Speaker 2: to do, how I want to say it, and the
7:12
Speaker 2: path I want to take. I took a few steps back.
7:15
Speaker 2: I said, you know what, I'm not going to go touring,
7:17
Speaker 2: and good for you, you know, to bury my head
7:20
Speaker 2: in the sand and avoid the elephant in the room.
7:22
Speaker 2: I'm going to focus on what I need to do
7:25
Speaker 2: in the moment right now, and every day build on that.
7:29
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you something. In those eighteen months since
7:32
Speaker 2: that's happened, it's been night and day. I look like
7:36
Speaker 2: a different person. I present as a different person. I
7:39
Speaker 2: saw somebody last night that I haven't seen in almost
7:42
Speaker 2: a year who looked like at me and went, oh
7:44
Speaker 2: my god, I barely even recognize you. Yeah, because it's
7:47
Speaker 2: not just a physical thing. It's a mental thing, and
7:50
Speaker 2: it's what you're putting out.
7:51
Speaker 1: I always call that you're wearing your energy, and you do.
7:55
Speaker 1: You wear your energy, which is so fascinating because a
7:58
Speaker 1: lot of people would like to chuck it up on
7:59
Speaker 1: an their sleeve. But no, no, no, no, no, no,
8:02
Speaker 1: not mysterious. Mysterian is going to come out there and
8:04
Speaker 1: be mysterian.
8:07
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have. I have to be violent, true authentic self,
8:11
Speaker 2: you know, and that and that, you know in any industry,
8:13
Speaker 2: you know, you have to be you know, if people
8:16
Speaker 2: would say to me, you know, well, how is it,
8:21
Speaker 2: It's such a silly question. How is it You're getting
8:24
Speaker 2: a corporate gig and you have tattoos all over your
8:27
Speaker 2: arms because they're hiring you for my tattoos. They're hiring
8:31
Speaker 2: me for my tattoos, you know what I mean. People
8:34
Speaker 2: want to find whatever excuse it is to validate their
8:37
Speaker 2: own insecurity, and that never works. It doesn't kiwash the
8:42
Speaker 2: person they're trying to bury, and it only isolates them.
8:48
Speaker 2: And it's a it's a weird headspace. When you shift
8:50
Speaker 2: to being accepting and you're loving and supporting, the doors open.
8:56
Speaker 2: And once that happens, you can see everyone's gonna have
9:00
Speaker 2: a I hate this for but everyone's going to have
9:02
Speaker 2: an adversary. Yep. You don't have to worry about your adversary.
9:06
Speaker 2: Just have to worry about what you do. And the
9:08
Speaker 2: minute you do that, and you just only focus on that,
9:11
Speaker 2: your adversary can be Lex Luthor for all matters they're
9:15
Speaker 2: not going to have it over what you.
9:17
Speaker 1: Do the journey from the green room to that open
9:22
Speaker 1: door which we call the stage, to the actual performance.
9:25
Speaker 1: I can't imagine the evolution of mental changes that you
9:29
Speaker 1: go through. And is it a walk of receiving as
9:32
Speaker 1: you take each step forward.
9:35
Speaker 2: That's a good question. I think the answer you're going
9:38
Speaker 2: to get may disappoint you. I think, first off, there's
9:42
Speaker 2: a lot of gratitude. But then the minute I go
9:46
Speaker 2: into a green room and I know I'm going on
9:49
Speaker 2: stage and let's say half an hour, I go kind
9:54
Speaker 2: of lank and go on automatic in a weird way,
9:58
Speaker 2: because no two audiences are a lot, so I can
10:01
Speaker 2: replace something in my mind over and over again. And
10:03
Speaker 2: then I go out on stage and it is nothing
10:06
Speaker 2: like I assumed it was gonna being. Never is You're
10:09
Speaker 2: going to have a totally different outcome. I'm always prepared.
10:14
Speaker 2: But as for scripting, as for you know, crowd work
10:21
Speaker 2: these things, there is a very loose scripting. There is
10:26
Speaker 2: a very natural ability that I have with the audience
10:29
Speaker 2: and being able to know who to talk to and
10:32
Speaker 2: how to interact with them. If there's God forbid, somebody
10:35
Speaker 2: who's maybe intoxicated, which can happen. I know how to
10:38
Speaker 2: handle that. That just comes from years of experience. But
10:41
Speaker 2: when I go on stage, it's more like there it goes.
10:46
Speaker 2: I'm Superman in action. Superman, he's flying, he notices somebody
10:52
Speaker 2: in distress. He doesn't think about it. He just goes
10:54
Speaker 2: down and deals with it in the moment. And that's
10:56
Speaker 2: kind of the way I approach it as well, you know.
10:59
Speaker 2: And so there is obviously gratitude, there's obviously excitement. There's
11:03
Speaker 2: obviously the lead up to an event. If I have
11:07
Speaker 2: an event coming two and three events coming up in
11:10
Speaker 2: Canada that I'm very much looking forward to. I have
11:13
Speaker 2: corporate events, and I have a weekly that I do,
11:16
Speaker 2: and have residency, you know, and I'm always you know,
11:18
Speaker 2: tomorrow night, I'm back at my residency. And I did
11:20
Speaker 2: it last night for the first time in a few weeks,
11:22
Speaker 2: and I was very excited to go back in. So
11:25
Speaker 2: there's of course that natural, you know, Christmas morning feeling
11:28
Speaker 2: that you're excited, you want to get you can't open
11:31
Speaker 2: up the gift of being able to perform. But I
11:34
Speaker 2: don't overthink it. I don't say, well, today I'm going
11:37
Speaker 2: to do this and this and that, and it never works,
11:39
Speaker 2: it never it. That can lead to disappointment because if
11:44
Speaker 2: I go in there and it's not the way that
11:46
Speaker 2: I perceived it's going to be, it could throw you
11:47
Speaker 2: after your game, especially if you're not used to it.
11:50
Speaker 2: So yeah, that's my answer to that.
11:53
Speaker 1: Please do not move. There's more with Mysterion coming up next,
11:59
Speaker 1: The Man Who Sees Tomorrow. We are back with Mysterion.
12:04
Speaker 1: I'm really into animal totems and things, and I'm very
12:07
Speaker 1: excited to find out if if you do have a
12:09
Speaker 1: totem animal, because because the way that you speak with us,
12:13
Speaker 1: you don't talk to us, you don't talk at us,
12:15
Speaker 1: you talk with us, and that to me is communication
12:19
Speaker 1: from somewhere that you have learned how to master.
12:24
Speaker 2: I think that comes from being spoken at ooh. And
12:29
Speaker 2: I think that that comes from not being heard oh boy.
12:33
Speaker 2: For many years, many many years, A lot of the
12:38
Speaker 2: times I would have an icreative idea or just an
12:41
Speaker 2: idea in general, and it was overlooked, and I don't
12:44
Speaker 2: know where the disconnect was from. And it's frustrated, as
12:49
Speaker 2: it would frustrated anybody. Frustrated me, and it make me
12:53
Speaker 2: angry because I never felt heard. I always knew that
12:57
Speaker 2: I had more to offer than was the allowed. When
13:01
Speaker 2: I was really young, I was in culinary school, and
13:06
Speaker 2: you know, I had very loud hair. This is the
13:09
Speaker 2: you know, the early nineties, had very crazy hair, and
13:12
Speaker 2: I loved it, every minute of it. But if my
13:14
Speaker 2: hair grew back and I put it back the way
13:16
Speaker 2: it was. But but you know, there were bets when
13:20
Speaker 2: I went into day one, you know, the first weekend,
13:23
Speaker 2: there were bets how long I would last. You know
13:25
Speaker 2: that guy with the green hair, how long I would
13:28
Speaker 2: give him? A week and a half. It was back
13:30
Speaker 2: I ended up on the heath list. And you know,
13:31
Speaker 2: it wasn't until later in the year when I befriended everybody.
13:34
Speaker 2: They said, you know we had bet. You cost me
13:36
Speaker 2: a lot of money and said, how I lost a
13:39
Speaker 2: bet on you instead of bet no no, no no no,
13:42
Speaker 2: you lost your own bet. You shouldn't have bet against me,
13:45
Speaker 2: you should have bet for me. So there was a
13:47
Speaker 2: lot of instances where these things would happened. Where I
13:50
Speaker 2: saw other people, they were heard, or their ideas were picked,
13:56
Speaker 2: or their their their concepts were used in a maybe
14:01
Speaker 2: as a consultant, who knows, But I often would say,
14:04
Speaker 2: I wonder why I'm not being put on the same level.
14:08
Speaker 2: I think it came from a couple of places. I
14:10
Speaker 2: think one, I don't compliment people easily, so I don't,
14:15
Speaker 2: at lack of a better term, I don't care that.
14:17
Speaker 2: So I think that people are afraid of that, you know.
14:20
Speaker 2: And I think that there's a realness and a truth,
14:23
Speaker 2: and I don't think people want to hear the truth
14:25
Speaker 2: a lot of the time. I think they want their
14:26
Speaker 2: own idea, they want to expedite their own idea, and
14:29
Speaker 2: they want a lot of yes men. And because I'm
14:32
Speaker 2: not one of them, then and guess what, man, I'm
14:35
Speaker 2: avoiding the people. I don't want to be in their
14:38
Speaker 2: circle anyway. So my solution to that and being heard
14:42
Speaker 2: and being able to come up with a way to
14:44
Speaker 2: communicate was by navigating in circles of people that appreciate
14:49
Speaker 2: what I'm doing, respect what I'm doing, and can work
14:52
Speaker 2: in tandem with what I'm doing. And there's been so
14:55
Speaker 2: many people who have met where you know, you may
14:59
Speaker 2: say they're not a list, or they're not the top tier,
15:04
Speaker 2: or they're you know, doesn't matter. Everyone's a lift, everyone's
15:07
Speaker 2: top tier. I'm succeeding because it's surrounded myself with people
15:11
Speaker 2: who were like minded.
15:13
Speaker 1: Your Instagram account, my god, you do a great job
15:17
Speaker 1: with that with the videos and things. You talking about
15:20
Speaker 1: an addiction there where it's like you just go to
15:22
Speaker 1: the next one, and go to the next one, go
15:24
Speaker 1: to the next one. I mean, but I mean to me,
15:26
Speaker 1: that's like, I realize it's selling tickets, but the fact
15:29
Speaker 1: of the matter is you're still moving people through your
15:32
Speaker 1: videos on Instagram.
15:35
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And you know what that I'm not even
15:39
Speaker 2: reaching my potential with that because I haven't put I'm
15:42
Speaker 2: waiting for my team to come together. I have other
15:45
Speaker 2: so many moving parts. Once the team gets back together
15:49
Speaker 2: in Toronto in the summertime, I've I got a plan
15:53
Speaker 2: to hit the city hard and create a lot of
15:56
Speaker 2: really amazing content and then put that out and it
16:00
Speaker 2: kind of ready. You know, I'm not going to guess
16:02
Speaker 2: on my city. But in the winter, you can't film.
16:06
Speaker 2: It's cold, it's ugly. You know, it's not the right
16:10
Speaker 2: framing for You're not going to stop somebody and do
16:12
Speaker 2: something in the middle of the winter. So I'm very
16:14
Speaker 2: limited to a four or five month gap. But now
16:17
Speaker 2: that i have the formula down and I have the
16:20
Speaker 2: ideas down and they're all ready to go. What wait
16:23
Speaker 2: and see what happens in the summer. It's going to
16:25
Speaker 2: be mind boggling.
16:26
Speaker 1: Your mantra is the man who sees tomorrow in reality.
16:30
Speaker 1: Don't we all have this gift. It's just that you've
16:32
Speaker 1: learned how to listen as well as hone your gift.
16:37
Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, I feel that everyone has the ability to
16:41
Speaker 2: do what I do. I mean, I make a joke
16:43
Speaker 2: at a child can do it with thirty years practice,
16:45
Speaker 2: but we do it every day. You know. I was
16:49
Speaker 2: talking to my wife and I said, I have an idea.
16:52
Speaker 2: I'm going to go on stage and I'm going to
16:54
Speaker 2: put on a risk support, you know, like if you injured,
16:58
Speaker 2: your risk type thing, and I'm going to I'm going
17:00
Speaker 2: to say, just wear one. I'm going to put one
17:02
Speaker 2: on and I'm going to say to the audience. And
17:04
Speaker 2: I haven't done this yet, but I know it's going
17:05
Speaker 2: to work. I say, you know something about me that
17:08
Speaker 2: I haven't even communicated. How many people have noticed my wrists?
17:11
Speaker 2: And everyone will put their hand up and I'll say, automatically,
17:14
Speaker 2: without me telling you anything, you know, I hurt myself,
17:18
Speaker 2: and because you know I hurt myself, you could then assume,
17:22
Speaker 2: because I'm middle aged, that I'm probably not playing a sport.
17:26
Speaker 2: I probably fell and landed on my word, and you
17:28
Speaker 2: would be correct. You see where I'm going, and I say,
17:32
Speaker 2: now you have to look for those nuances and clues
17:35
Speaker 2: in me, and I'm actually communicating something to you. And
17:39
Speaker 2: then I take the wristband off and I go. But
17:41
Speaker 2: it was just for show. I've really this is no injury.
17:44
Speaker 2: But my point is is we all wear our thoughts
17:49
Speaker 2: on ourselves, what we do, how we speak, how we stand,
17:54
Speaker 2: what we wear. If there's a rep you know not
17:58
Speaker 2: I'm not saying judging, I'm saying observing. If you look
18:01
Speaker 2: at somebody on the public transit and they're covered in
18:04
Speaker 2: stains spatter, you can make an assumption they're a house
18:08
Speaker 2: painter or an artist. You can look at their hands,
18:11
Speaker 2: you can look at little things about people. There are
18:15
Speaker 2: lots of nuances that we as people give off. There's tells,
18:22
Speaker 2: and we all do it every day. Some people call
18:25
Speaker 2: it judging. You can be that way if you so wish,
18:29
Speaker 2: you could look at someone and judge them. I'm not
18:31
Speaker 2: using that word, but it is a way to do it.
18:35
Speaker 2: Or you can look at it from a positive perspective,
18:37
Speaker 2: and then you can look at patterns. You can start
18:40
Speaker 2: looking at patterns in different age demographics, you can start
18:45
Speaker 2: looking at patterns in different income demographics. And after you
18:49
Speaker 2: do this for a while, you can start predicting the
18:52
Speaker 2: deadly accuracy things that are going to happen. So the
18:55
Speaker 2: whole concept to be able to see tomorrow is that
19:00
Speaker 2: there are only so many outcomes. There are only so
19:04
Speaker 2: many and nothing is going to so drastically change in
19:07
Speaker 2: one day. Everything's going to micro change. So guess what
19:10
Speaker 2: you can predict what's going to happen at least you
19:13
Speaker 2: can come close to it. And I'm not asking people
19:17
Speaker 2: to make a bet on the stocks. I'm asking you
19:21
Speaker 2: to make a bet on yourself and make a nuance,
19:24
Speaker 2: make a small change and get to the next stage.
19:27
Speaker 2: And I package it as entertainment, of course, and there's
19:31
Speaker 2: a big aspect of it that is a show. But
19:34
Speaker 2: of course the underlying messages is that everyone can do
19:37
Speaker 2: this with the right braining.
19:38
Speaker 1: Wow, where can people go to find out more about you?
19:42
Speaker 1: And as you hit that road this coming summer, I
19:44
Speaker 1: want people to come and experience you.
19:48
Speaker 2: Absolutely you're in North Carolina? Is that correct? Yes, sir,
19:54
Speaker 2: so I may be in North Carolina. I will let
19:57
Speaker 2: you know if that comes to frusion. I'm also a
20:00
Speaker 2: toy collector and I'm going to be at a toy Yes,
20:04
Speaker 2: I'm a massive toy collector. I have one of the
20:06
Speaker 2: biggest action figure and toy collections in Canada. So you
20:10
Speaker 2: know everything from original Johnny West's and g I Joe's
20:16
Speaker 2: and Ninja Turtles and Star everything, complete stats of this stuff.
20:20
Speaker 2: I mean I buy them every day. So there's a
20:22
Speaker 2: toy convention happening in the summer and I'm talking to
20:25
Speaker 2: them about getting me on a panel and doing my
20:28
Speaker 2: act at the convention. So if that happens, I will
20:31
Speaker 2: I will let you know. But generally speaking, if you
20:35
Speaker 2: go on my Instagram, Mystery on the mind Reader, or
20:38
Speaker 2: on my website Mystery onthemind reader dot com. The current
20:42
Speaker 2: website completely big, overhauled, Like I said, lots of things
20:46
Speaker 2: going on in the many, many moving parts. But it's
20:50
Speaker 2: about to relaunch. I have a site ready to launch
20:53
Speaker 2: it about two weeks. It's ready and it's going to
20:56
Speaker 2: have all my listings where I'm going to be in
20:58
Speaker 2: the States. I have some dates in the States and
21:00
Speaker 2: across Canada and even in Europe coming up. I love it.
21:03
Speaker 1: You got to come back to this show. I mean
21:05
Speaker 1: even if we sit there and we break down toys,
21:07
Speaker 1: because I mean that that would be a subject all
21:09
Speaker 1: its own that deserves all the attentions.
21:11
Speaker 2: So absolutely, because I have a question for you, Yes, sir,
21:15
Speaker 2: what was your toy growing up? What was your favorite toy?
21:17
Speaker 1: It's sitting right here in front of me right now.
21:19
Speaker 1: I have nine of them, and I will continue to
21:22
Speaker 1: buy them because I want to. I want to take
21:23
Speaker 1: them from the world and protect them. It is a
21:26
Speaker 1: Mumbo Jumbo, which is a blue plastic elephant that does
21:29
Speaker 1: aerobics and it does acrobatics and so and I saw
21:32
Speaker 1: City Brady on The Brady Bunch with one of these.
21:35
Speaker 1: I dude, I still collect these darn things.
21:39
Speaker 2: And by you saying that I've already been able to
21:42
Speaker 2: deduct your age, I've been able to deduct what era
21:45
Speaker 2: you're from, you see where I'm going. That's where I automatically,
21:48
Speaker 2: I totally know. The toys are amazing. They're amazing. Yeah,
21:53
Speaker 2: I absolutely adore toys. And if you if you go online,
21:56
Speaker 2: you tite Mysteria on the Mind for your toy collection.
21:59
Speaker 2: You'll photos of me in the media with my toy house.
22:02
Speaker 2: I have a house literally filled with toys. I mean
22:05
Speaker 2: I was buying last night. I was out by Residency
22:08
Speaker 2: and we do. How it works at the Residency is
22:11
Speaker 2: I have my own little room and they bring in
22:14
Speaker 2: groups that it's a speakeasy themed venue, so people command,
22:18
Speaker 2: they sit at the bar, they have dinner, and then
22:20
Speaker 2: they buy a ticket to come and see me. And
22:23
Speaker 2: so I kind of get small groups of seven or eight,
22:26
Speaker 2: ten people that come in the room and I do
22:28
Speaker 2: ten fifteen minutes and then you know, every twenty minutes
22:31
Speaker 2: another group comes in. And it's quite a fun little
22:34
Speaker 2: ability for me to workshop stuff and meet people very intimately.
22:38
Speaker 2: But when I'm downtime, like last night was slow. You know,
22:40
Speaker 2: it's Toronto, it's still cold. Out of not so many shows,
22:43
Speaker 2: I've probably did four or five that night, so I
22:46
Speaker 2: was just sitting in there on my phone for a
22:47
Speaker 2: bit of the night, which is rare there. So what
22:50
Speaker 2: did I do. I went on a toy auction and
22:52
Speaker 2: I'm sitting there and I'm watching all the stuff coming
22:54
Speaker 2: up and I'm buying Heartland cowboys from the sixties above
22:58
Speaker 2: Johnny West. You know I bought uh, I bought a
23:03
Speaker 2: uh like a knockoff stretch Monster from Mexico. And it's
23:09
Speaker 2: so old that the plastics dried. Yeah, you say it's now.
23:13
Speaker 2: It's not even a stretched monster. It's a block, you know,
23:15
Speaker 2: like you can't do anything with it. But it's vintage.
23:18
Speaker 2: And I bought a I don't even know what I spent,
23:20
Speaker 2: but I bought like maybe seven pieces last night. And
23:23
Speaker 2: this is so non. I mean, I buy toys almost
23:26
Speaker 2: every other day. Tomorrow there's a big there's a toy
23:29
Speaker 2: shop in Toronto called Treehouse Toys and Collectibles, and they
23:32
Speaker 2: literally have a warehouse and they're like they went through
23:34
Speaker 2: it and they're just having a garage sale, a spring
23:37
Speaker 2: cleaning garage sale tomorrow. So you bet that I'm their
23:40
Speaker 2: first thing in the morning with a pocket full of
23:41
Speaker 2: silver because I'm going to clean them out, you know.
23:44
Speaker 2: And there's no room. That's the same with Stover's places
23:49
Speaker 2: is filled. But you know what, it brings me great joy.
23:52
Speaker 2: And if anything brings you joy and it isn't hurting you,
23:55
Speaker 2: why not, you know, why not to let people like
23:57
Speaker 2: to vacation. I hate vacation, I really do. I travel
24:01
Speaker 2: all the time. My vacation is at home. That's it.
24:03
Speaker 2: So I sold my home with things I love. I
24:06
Speaker 2: love it.
24:06
Speaker 1: Man, you got to come back to this show anytime
24:08
Speaker 1: in the future. That door is always going to be
24:10
Speaker 1: open for you, Misterious, you'd be brilliant today.
24:12
Speaker 2: Okay, you too,
