0:00 boom did you roll in on a motorcycle i did you're a fucking animal in this day and age in la traffic And you can listen to tunes, and it makes all the songs better. for going to the movies. And so it's almost like but I beat you here and I left after you did. Legitimately. Or the car. And they're like, how about you? Sit down. I know they're trying to kill you,

3:37 Yeah. stuff like that and even if you read it and so he's he's adding the emotions of like you know when when when Robert E. Lee was, It was cool. i do and don't get you i don't know what to think i was reading this article too about how many It's definitely some part of it, right? Oh, Jamie will pull it up. It's all about the war with the Plains tribes.

7:37 it's so far away for maybe you and i yeah that reading that is like it's like when you don't and that's what she was kind of forced to do is be re the command she finally lost and that's what The story about her is so sad because she didn't want to go back. on horses all the time. they were fucking everybody up they fucked everybody up the comanches were just ruthless man yeah all they did was kill buffalo

10:53 You want to have tea in the middle of the day here dressed like that? man. Cynthia Ann Parker's, Like in that everything was a god. but there was a shit ton of people a metric fuck ton trying to be comanche and yeah piute and europeans yeah have you ever been to teotihuacan no i've never been there i heard it's amazing I could hear him. Well, it's okay.

14:34 And he said, they're reflection ponds. head when you were born they immediately were like two boards rope and just put two boards and I mean, that's a really good, like, entry, you know, at the gate. these they say i'm you don't know what you're missing yet yeah before you know it's just a No, he's fucking nine. 15, something like that. oh do you know who else is a reincarnated holy person steven seagal well duh they read they

17:47 dorje a 17th century turton that's a treasure revealer that sounded like me reading in the I mean, someone. And it's like, would you just order your food? The other set of people built this and if that is your focus Yeah. I mean, it's hard to imagine 80,000 people at once going, sorry, what? That's quite an arena. Yeah. And like, quick, someone invent geometry first, though, because I don't know.

21:51 but I went to Chichen Itza and saw some of the Mayan temples. story of these other people. Yeah. It is awe. oh if i could have a piece of that if i could understand a piece of that but just standing I think... female chicks. Yeah, it's like the same thing with the Native Americans and the settlers, that the settlers were imposing their lifestyle. You know when they land,

25:08 And, you know, I think about that perspective where they obviously were like, these people are nice. Cortez. With like rusty armor from being on a fucking boat for months. I don't think there was any goodwill back then. So it's like if you are with 150 people, And you have no idea what the fuck they're saying because you can't speak their language.

27:32 draw me i would imagine what it would be like if you could be a fly on the wall when montezuma met yeah i mean we don't get that in our head like mexico speaks spanish why do they say and has The Nina, the Pinta, the Santa. to me i wasn't alive and i'm ready to admit that, but that seems like, oh, that is just very close, I'm sure. European civilization was.

30:06 yeah you know well then also like the different environments that people live in sort of dictate It's just got that sort of feeling to it. Everything that walks or crawls goes, all right, let's go. and I lift my foot, ah! because what am i gonna do like i'm to hit this stinger with my hands. And so you're just like, ugh. to like track back this was before the internet and so i go inside and the remedy at that time as as fred drake who rest in peace um told me was to drink jack daniels and put your foot in a bucket

34:25 thought oh right right and and it was much like a bee sting but by the time i i realized that and It was like, the hotter it is, the better. but it was so bewildering that after the pain was over, We were like, Jesus, man, don't hang out with this person. i'm starting to identify as a um uh yeah i i wonder what the bullet ant thinks of all this when i'm having a rough morning i say thank God praying mantis aren't five feet tall. Fuck yeah, dude. Because getting to your car would be a nightmare.

37:21 It was just sitting there as the mouse got close to him. You look at how big they are. some is so fucking fast well it is a kind of a cool thing that we don't have to like for mass of body weight that it's not even a contest about that frequency for them is sort of like call you back and they just bail well that's like the What do you got? because they're just like should we go fuck with that guy and grab the liver or what do you want

40:47 they kill babies. right. So what females do is they become hoes. shot and maybe it's blackfish or something like that, where they put a mirror up and the dolphins are looking at them. because they can't affect their environment the way we can like they can't build houses and you So you read pirates' logs? It's marked in the log. Yeah, the idea was to scare everybody else.

44:05 people that do want their only have one arm they probably have already done that yeah they're Wow. Because the whales are so big and that there's this communication and that they're extrapolating that there's a communication breakdown now because of the noise pollution of it all. horrific death has occurred right in the ocean imagine what the ocean was like in terms of like

45:46 Right. Yeah. He walked across Antarctica. Yeah, it's a great workout that you're forced to do to stay alive. If they die, we're going to watch it. it's a shitty little boat can you imagine being the cameraman that's the most boring thing ever Good luck. Well, hey, before you do that, I got a project. I think those kind of people find themselves. Crazy shit, right?

49:26 a leak i suppose the thing is they know they all know there's other people like them out there Yeah, well, I believe when they did some brain testing on that climber fellow that did the – one toenail upside down do you even talking about him makes me nervous i've had him on twice shots 45 degrees Do you have to Just light our hands on fire. yourself drift and like almost like a meditative state and just be like hands i don't think you

52:39 foot right foot right hand left hand and then you also have done it many times with ropes but also That's what's really interesting There's something. someone like that is out there though it changes what our our expectations are like what what we Yeah, you're just sort of like, thank you for doing this for my pleasure. would be akin to you know some of the greatest meditative minds that have ever existed.

55:26 no, no, I'm still meditating. Like if you're just sitting there meditating And that when you think something, you begin to bring it into idea, yeah that there's something beautiful there especially when it's not um really being wrapped an alien what is he i forget what he is i see one of them channels an alien right but i think there's focusing on all the shit you don't like as a as a manner of um walking towards what what you desire

59:26 that have stayed so long in that it's important to do that in life too, keeping you from doing that in life and so it's not just that i would think that way so my band Well, it's weird because she's saying very wise things. It's like you're listening to wisdom, but are you listening to wisdom from someone who's made up a fairy tale? that's a little too vague but i my point being that like um all of a sudden engaging in something

1:03:00 it's true and you know what it is right and and that seems like a successful and and in dealing with that too you get the chance to say um i i can do this is that lady when the next YouTube thing started playing, I was like, who is this? like she doesn't say anything that's really foolish and she never changes her tune about, look, and I started to dig that she was saying we, because until I understood that she was like channeling something, I thought it was just a really beautiful way of saying we.

1:04:32 If all you can focus is on what sucks but is yet to be, just wait a sec. should probably welcome them because when they happen they will test you and then you can figure Like gnash your teeth and grin and bear it. Or ignore it. corner bury it behind and really one day it just like gives you a massive bath of you're fucked For me, the fortune would be like that your relationships and emotional connections get deeper.

1:07:18 step and then go, what do I keep going down that river downstream of that idea, getting closer and closer to something you really love? that those steps then soon you get to like i feel fortunate to be here right i feel fortunate i don't is that because it came from no context whatsoever and i just heard the words It's something – yeah, you're paraphrasing, but it's something like that.

1:10:21 to do right and more rewarding to do i think but i think it's also necessary to say i'm not talking about walking around in colopsia like going it's just uh um Right. Right, right, right. It's sort of a gift, actually. I just was looking through the law of attraction and finding a way to change my thoughts to things I loved. or whatever what you're doing with your thoughts and the way you think and the way you sort of interface with reality is

1:14:11 But maybe I should be putting it into more than just that, too. a buddy of mine was really into it and he turned me on to it and i listened to it and i said okay wacky shit in religion but obviously a lot of people find some great meaning in it you can this that you drugs yeah oh i suppose those are in there too yeah what'd you mean though you said

1:16:32 So you tried drugs, and then you're like, What else we got? Because I think I've always looked at music this way, what i've been kind of learning is i also should apply the same understanding to the people I care about. If there's a way for us to have something more meaningful, that's all that being meaningful is. You know what I mean? It's one of the tools that I would use in every situation is situational.

1:19:20 i hear all of this can we just try that first? And I like to do that when respect their their idea their vision, whatever it is, And once you're saying is, oh, my God, I have this idea. Can we try it just like this for a start? you can leave your friends behind yeah you're like what the fuck what why would it if they don't queen's of the stone age sound well i think there's a band called weaned that i love so much

1:22:17 these professional hired gun country you know and and it sounded incredible because they were like go there you should take it there right i mean that's what we're supposed to do yeah and it's right for for just trying to fill in the gaps and beautifully fill in the gaps of what's not I mean, I listen to country. I like a song where you can tell the band

1:25:09 Like, we knew we sounded different. I can't wait to make the music I hate the most. And I'd be like, no. such a prison imagine if you created a genre that was So Stoner Rock, I was like, no, no. like no sit here wear this and i understand too because it's good to feel part of something I'm like, oh, you can talk to someone like who's like into your tunes it's like i and i

1:28:22 not the real the and i just let it be known uh yes i fucking am and and then all of a sudden was like hey josh how's it going and i Right. Nobody wants to start by being blamed for something. And I accept if you don't like it. wrong you're dealing with unmanageable numbers too right because you'd be interacting with So they want to go, fuck you. Yeah.

1:32:04 And everything that comes with it, it's so fucking real look out And I don't know why, because I feel like that's the place. yeah um yeah because um you feel one with your actions so in the now you have no choice right um i guess the manifestation aspect of this has gotten important to me again because it's what i And you go, wait a minute, but I'm so used to it. I thought you were going to

1:35:30 that's, it's time to go, you know? The pinballing off awful and getting to wonderful. one of the things that i always like to talk to people that are famous about because uh it's that and he says i'm in a hurry and she goes i hope you get cancer yeah like it's it's unusual to Like if you defend yourself against every single piece of criticism, you'll be lost.

1:38:29 I have this family of people. You know? And I always think, I think you fucked up. that discusses the issue that kids are having today between the invention of the smartphone and social media Right. It's not later. high school campaign in burma for sickies. Like, are you fucking? Sure, if you want to blow this thing up, She sold this really killer house to this guy

1:42:39 I mean, in both sides. Don't fuck Gary. Like, I don't get it. Because I think you don't care about this door. and you come to at three in the morning you in the streets of the valley you come to a stoplight and plus he had to go through it to catch to even catch up to me right you know what i mean what are We can coexist Yeah and it just like a piece of wood was laying there and then someone picked it up and someone was

1:46:14 that were just like right next to, You haven't had an impossible? No. How is it it's it's probable it's so good really oh my fucking god though my thought was people would still like if they were really stressed out they would want the he still does all kinds of shit i haven't seen him in anything you're not looking i'm not looking but just like i think whiskey should be available just like i think pot should i mean i put a post

1:49:28 on drugs we're going to have a war on this yeah it's like can we start with a talk about it first So that's one of the more offensive things about someone like Joe Biden running for president saying that. It's called Daring Greatly by Brene Brommer or something like that. And I think you have to take a chance on people and you have to take a chance on yourself and not just be like, they're bad.

1:52:12 He's a mushroom specialist. Look at our numbers. Piece of the action. And so on the subject of drugs and things like that, everything gets run up the flagpole of extreme and put into the same category. Do whatever you say? That's a great methodology for listening to somebody. So this is caffeine. with a starbucks cop they don't say oh my god look at that drug user but that's clearly a drug i mean

1:54:31 Yeah, where you were fucking readily... and passing it around There was some shit and I almost had with tainted things and you go how really is it who's making these yeah you know does that mean to be in there because and this is like just random lunch no extra vitamins and shit but get how are they cleaning that i was like they just have to pay two guys to just blow into the

1:57:25 and you have to keep adapting, the stuff that worked when they were five yourself saying like monsters aren't real, right? I love the actual, like Cooper's Barrels and stuff. You start with nothing, and you get a little bit until you declare, The gift of nothing. It's really good. Well, it's also, it's like you're doing something with your body and your mind.

2:01:22 absence of connection between body and mind which which Yeah, that's true too. that you wasted time building a dam as if that were the coolest thing ever yeah instead of walking yeah what is that why are they no well certainly they're more stable because the two wheels are up front but right i'm not Is that a Harley? because you have to pay attention, like you're saying.

2:05:22 I do, because I have a 67 Camaro I've had since I was 14. God damn. sitting on a seat with five wheels one of my hand and four on the road it's a great all this shit from wherever we're going to grab it from You know what I mean? said this is where we stop yep we're good yeah and they were like this is what it looks like Like who's buying a 77 Mustang?

2:08:27 Yeah, on Fairfax, kind of by the Whole Foods And we have a family car. But I was thinking this guy, like, I see what he was trying to say, but he's probably bought a shit ton of cars, which is way worse for the footprint, just off the, plus batteries are made on three continents. mocking everything with a v8 yeah but also like on a on a stinky parade and and that's that's a

2:10:39 Yeah. mine looks says it's yours is it not yours i don't think that's his isn't yours black or is I think the SS and the... Which one? When they're like, Yeah. Here it is. It's my daily driver. I have five-point seatbelts, so you don't need a car seat because I have a seatbelt that makes a car seat look like you're doing okay. it's like a little adventure

2:14:26 Don't forget about that guy. should be on these they just did recently where they did at the expense of everybody. Well, they had a different thing they just did recently it into something that would power something well i think they're eventually going to be able to Yeah, it could be reused. the declaration of independence but yeah i mean and also declaration of codependence yeah codependence

2:17:07 and I loved your last special this Desert Sessions don't go check it out you fucks thank you brother appreciate it thank you bye everybody
