1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:08,000 This episode of Soul Decodes is pre-recorded, but Sarah and Tia Jolie felt it compelling enough to share with you today. We hope you agree. 2 00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:38,000 Welcome to Soul Decodes. Join us as we wander off the path to find the ideas that fascinate. We talk about spirituality, the mind, the ego, wellness and hidden history with tips, travels and more. 3 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,000 Charms for a better life. 4 00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:20,000 Hello beautiful people and welcome to the Treehouse here on Phillips Island. It's a beautiful day and I'm with, I'm way out of my league. I am so, so far out of my league. 5 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:31,000 I'm with the writer and philosopher and thinker, Sarah Teary here at the Treehouse. And Sarah, what's on your mind today? Well, a lot. Really? Okay, going to have to break it down. Okay. 6 00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:43,000 So, it's just a little bit of business first and I thought it might be good to have a little business meeting live because then the listeners will be in on our manifestation process. They're part of it. 7 00:01:43,000 --> 00:02:00,000 They're part of it, that's right. So, how do you feel about doing an event, a live event and we'll perhaps, I'll have to tell you about, let me just give you this format first and when I tell you about what I'm going to tell you about afterwards, then this will make more sense. 8 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:14,000 But we could do it at the Chamber of Commerce in town. And I think, I'm not sure their capacity may be 175 people and we can advertise it in the newsletter. And we come together and we do question and answer formats. 9 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:26,000 So, we'd be sitting on the stage and we'd be talking about what we talk about here on this show. But we do it and then the audience will ask us questions. So, I love it already. 10 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:39,000 I love it. Well, you know, the one thing that we have going for us is we're not scripted. Like everything is just off the cuff and sometimes we'll just take like a 90 degree turn. 11 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000 Love them. One way or the other. Story of my life. I know, right? Welcome to my world. 12 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:56,000 But, you know, in one regard, it's like, you know, you're kind of throwing yourselves out there to the what ifs of the world. But I think it's super exciting. And I actually... 13 00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:03,000 And you've performed on stage. Of course. So, I do. I think I'm going to have a bit of stage fright, but I'm so over going to come. I'm going to overcome this. 14 00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Because you've got your big sister here. That's good. You know, I like it. And I've actually made a lot of friends with the Chamber lately. I'm not a member of the Chamber. I'm not... 15 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:28,000 This is kind of a weird thing, but I'm a voluntarist. I'm not a collectivist in any regard. What's the difference? So, part of my idea is that... A voluntarist. A voluntarist. Yes. A voluntarist. 16 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:45,000 So, it's actually kind of a subset of libertarianism. I don't like labels of any kind, but a voluntarist simply has the belief that all transactions between we the peoples, like we humans, are voluntary. 17 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:59,000 They should not be forced. Like, we're creators. We're independent. We're sovereigns, right? And that if you and I decide to do something as consenting adults, we have the right to do that. 18 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:09,000 And if we decide to not do things, we should be able to not do those things too. Yes. Yes. So, all transactions should be voluntary. Right. It's the ultimate freedom. 19 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:22,000 The ultimate freedom. And the idea is that if you're a sovereign soul and you have the capacity to make decisions for yourself and you're not harming other people, breaking their things, stealing their property... 20 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:33,000 Yes, being mean and rude. Lying or cheating or stealing. Petty. Right. You're not that. You're not those things. You're not lying, cheating, stealing, breaking your word, breaking your promises. You're not doing those things. 21 00:04:33,000 --> 00:04:46,000 You're not a scumbag. You're not a scumbag. Thank you. You're welcome. Why didn't I just pick your words? I'm the writer. You're the writer. Can I say all that stuff, Tijuli? Tijuli, can you use one word like scumbag? 22 00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:59,000 It was building in my mind. This is the word I chose. There could have been a few of them. Right. So, you know, if you're not those people, then all transactions are voluntary. 23 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:10,000 And so what we find is that if you really dissect the world around us, the things that go wrong are usually the result of the use of force. 24 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:31,000 Holy moly. That's a massive idea. Yeah. And so, and force comes in all sorts of different flavors, right? There's economic force where it's like, I'm going to tax you to death. Cultural. Or cultural, like, oh, you're one of those people, right? And that's part of one of my stories. Or a family dynamic. Family. It's just everywhere. 25 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:48,000 It goes everywhere. It's like, because usually it's from when people put a label on somebody else, like, oh, you're a middle child. It's tribalism. It's like, what the hell is middle child? Yeah. Oh, it becomes a syndrome at that point. Oh, you're from Detroit. Oh, you've got blonde hair. Right. 26 00:05:48,000 --> 00:06:02,000 Well, you know, it's like, you must not have any brains, right? But it's like two blinds talking to each other here. But, you know, from Detroit, people are like, oh, you're from Detroit. What does that mean? What's the mythology with Detroit in America? What are you if you're from Detroit? 27 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:25,000 Well, I think Detroit's the rock capital of the world. What is the demeaning? It's the Motown. Oh, the demeaning part would be like, oh, and you survived. Like, it used to be the murder capital of the world. But, you know, now then it bounced to Houston and then Kansas City and New Orleans. It's just the thing, you know, back in the 70s. 28 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:49,000 You had a hardcore label. Yeah, because, you know, it's just the city of Detroit was kind of imploding upon itself. And a lot of reasons for it. You know, I don't want to go into those things. But basically, they took away this idea of free enterprise. And they try to instill these Marxist ideologies upon the city. And all of a sudden, everybody wanted stuff and they didn't want to work for it. 29 00:06:49,000 --> 00:07:10,000 And the next thing you know, there's like no incentive. And there's a bunch of nepotism and, you know, pay to play type of schemes. And the whole city imploded. Well, they labeled the problems Detroit had with racism. And oh my goodness. And there's all and so now you start labeling and dividing and conquering. 30 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:24,000 And you're taking down these major cities. And it's not just Detroit. It's a lot of major cities. But this is a systematic theory of how to break this down. It's like a textbook. If you were writing this, this is how you do it. 31 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:53,000 Oh, totally. Like if somebody like I said, somebody a third person besides the two of us had this nefarious concept that they're going to get Tia Jolie and Sarah to fight with each other. Right? How would you do that? Like you and I love each other. How would you divide us? How would you you'd probably start to create lies like, oh, you wouldn't believe what Tia Jolie said behind your back. Right? Or, you know, you don't want to work with with Sarah because she's a member of the road to freedom. 32 00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000 The Rotary Club. 33 00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:22,000 And the Rotary Club starts with gossip and malicious intent. Yeah. And then they start to divide you. But like you and I were beyond there was like, you'd pull me aside and say, Tia Jolie, I heard you said this. Is that true? And I go, no. Yeah. If I had an issue with you, I'd come. Yes. I look you dead in the eye and say, girlfriend, we got to talk about something. Right. And that that's kind of how that play out. But a lot of people don't want to be uncomfortable doing that. I don't mind being uncomfortable. And I can be confrontational. 34 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Should the need arise. So it doesn't. But a lot of people, but a lot of people, no way. Really? But a lot of people would would gossip as a means of trying to deal with an issue, but going straight to the person and looking them dead in the eye. And that's the only way to deal with it. Otherwise, all this stuff gets just cast about. So there's no, that's no problem solved at all either. 35 00:08:50,000 --> 00:09:06,000 You know, for better or for worse, this darn internet, to me, the internet's beautiful. I'm an entrepreneur. It's the Wild West. You know, there's so much positivity with the internet. I wouldn't know so many things. I wouldn't publish my books without the new technology. 36 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:25,000 And honestly, I didn't pick up a bass guitar until I was 45 years old. And so I wouldn't have learned how to play bass. Everything in life is has a flip side, though, doesn't it? So the internet's fantastic. But well, the flip side of it is that, you know, it tends to bring out the most nasty part of people. 37 00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:40,000 Because you can be really brave when you're behind like this computer screen. It's like, I can be like, you know, Genghis Khan, Mrs. Genghis Khan and just kind of destroy and, you know, take over things because I'm all brave. But then when you get out... 38 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000 Well, you're actually a coward because you're hiring. 39 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:43,000 You're a coward. You're hiring. 40 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000 I think you're brave. 41 00:09:45,000 --> 00:10:14,000 You got all these people. It brings out the best and the worst because like, but if you met that person at the post office or the grocery store, and they're them and you're you, you're these warring, opposing parties, and you're ideologically polarized, but you meet them, you're going to find out that most of the things that are important to you, not whether you're politically blue or green or red or purple, whatever your political ideology is, most of the things that are important to you, 42 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:17,000 are probably important to the other person too. 43 00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:19,000 Yes, I agree. 44 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:25,000 So all of this divisiveness that we see, you know, because, oh, you're one of them. 45 00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:40,000 Yeah, it's a label, but it's tribalism. There's an opponent. I mean, a lot of people can only get along with other people if they adopt a similar belief system because they feel safe. They feel, okay, they're one of me. They're one of my kind. 46 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:55,000 And that might have had its uses in evolution, right? It had an evolutionary purpose. But what you're talking about now, this has just gone haywire. We don't need to be. We don't, I don't have to think and agree with everything that you think and agree about. 47 00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:04,000 We're going to agree on a lot. I bet you our core values are very, very similar. But a lot of people find comfort if people are like-minded. 48 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:09,000 If one of your core values is world dominance? 49 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:14,000 Mind's world peace. If you have to dominate for a while, you might have to. 50 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:22,000 I was just joking around there. But, you know, we have a lot of stuff that's important to you to cover today. And I actually have a couple fascinating things that I want to bounce off you. 51 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:23,000 Okay, good. 52 00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:25,000 That kind of happened to me last week. 53 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:27,000 Oh, yes. You're in Texas. 54 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:34,000 Oh, yeah. So why don't you go first with, you know, what's your first, what do you want to lead off with? 55 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:40,000 So do you remember I told you I was interested in buying a lake home a few months ago? 56 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:44,000 Yes, I do. And I was like disappointed when it didn't happen. 57 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:54,000 Well, that's what I want to get into because that's the metaphysics behind this. So this beautiful lake home that I'd picked out, it was 2900 square feet, two story cottage on Lake Minnehaha. 58 00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:03,000 As you know, that's a big, beautiful lake. And the deal fell through. And I had two places in my mind that I could have gone to. 59 00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000 The first one was fuck. And I just kind of went in not for long. 60 00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:11,000 I remember you got dark there for about 10 seconds. Yes, it wasn't for long. 61 00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:21,000 And then there's still small voice and the Holy Spirit, my inner guidance system, my higher self said, no, you're going to have your house on the lake. 62 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:29,000 So I was able to abide in absolute peace and with a smile on my face because I knew that this was going to manifest. 63 00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:37,000 So just let it go. Give it back to the universe. God, you got this. And then my son called me and he showed me another house. 64 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:49,000 And it's on Lake Crescent. And so Lake Crescent is off Lake Shore Drive. So if you leave my house and you go into town, you stay on 561 on the left and then you can go on to Lake Shore Drive. 65 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:57,000 That takes you past Lake Crescent and then onto Lake Minnehaha. I'm on Lake Crescent directly on the lake. 66 00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:05,000 This is the new place. OK. And I was going to downsize with the old place because that was 2900 square feet. 67 00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:13,000 This is 1500 square foot bigger than my old house. We didn't downsize. That's how big this house is. 68 00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:20,000 This new one. It's on the lake. This is 5500 square feet. This new one. So it's bigger than this house. Oh my God. It was so ridiculous. 69 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:30,000 I like your idea of downsizing. I know. And it's just so fantastic. We've got a great deal on it. And this is the big kick of well, there's loads of kickers in this, the way it's architecturally designed. 70 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:38,000 But it faces west. So the sun sets every night on my lake. I love it. So I see it every night and I've always loved sunsets. 71 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:46,000 And now I get one every night and I've been floating. I've been walking around positive. Your tan is ridiculous. I've been working in the garden. 72 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:54,000 Sitting on my dock. I've been working in the garden. So I've got this ridiculous farmer tan. And you know, like, clearly look at this. 73 00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:02,000 Don't laugh at me. Yes. You'll have to wear a bikini. I know because it's right across my armpit. 74 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:11,000 You'll have to wear a thong and a boob tube. I know, right? So but here's the important question about your new place. 75 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:23,000 I'll wait till you're done drinking. This is water, by the way. Right. Yeah, water. It's water. So can I land my seaplane there? 76 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:28,000 Is the lake big enough? Well, how much runway do you need? Well, I didn't buy the plane yet. 77 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:34,000 So I just need how much water way. Well, we'd have to go out there and do a reconnaissance mission because Ray is going to put his boat on the dock. 78 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:42,000 Let's go out there and measure it. Well, I need depends on the plane. What size are they like a 152? Well, it depends on what I get. 79 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:50,000 If I get like a caravan for 12 of us, then it's I'm going to need like probably 5000 feet. No wind. But oh, you've got that. 80 00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:56,000 Well, I'll have to go find out. Yeah, we'll do. We'll have to go. We'll go on a boat trip. But if it's just like a small like a two or three passenger, 81 00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:04,000 you know, like a small four passenger like float, yes, we could probably get away with less than 3000 feet. Let's go out there and have a look. 82 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,000 But I still have to buy it, which means I still have to earn it. It's I'm in the process of manifesting. That's right. 83 00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:18,000 Be careful what you manifest though, because I went from one house to this. I know, right. I'm going to end up with a jumbo jet or something on skis. 84 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:26,000 I want a hand built for you. Well, congratulations. That's so exciting. And the other part of this Wednesday. Wait, wait, this Wednesday. 85 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:34,000 Yes. Oh, that's amazing. Yeah. And the other part of this downstairs, it has this. So when you walk in, it has to. 86 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:40,000 Did you see the musical The Sound of Music? I have, yeah. OK, no, the staircase in that. Of course. There's one on the left and right. 87 00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:45,000 So when you walk in, there's this massive gallery rail that overlooks the lake. That's probably 30 feet wide. 88 00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:51,000 And then there's two staircases that spiral down. And then at the bottom of the house, you have this huge room. 89 00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:59,000 And I'm not sure of the measurements, but I would say it's something like 50 feet by 50 feet, something like big. 90 00:15:59,000 --> 00:16:05,000 And I thought maybe we could have some gatherings there. Oh, my God. You know what? I love the way you think. 91 00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:12,000 You're to the point when you need to be and you're tangential when you need to be. I love that. So well, good for you. Yes. 92 00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:18,000 That's lovely. I'm excited. Are you going to have a studio like we can still do? Oh, I'm going to have a podcast studio. 93 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000 OK, I've got a podcast studio going and I have an office, so they'll be separate. 94 00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:28,000 OK, yes, that's going to be beautiful. All right. So excited. Well, thank you for letting me in on the secret. 95 00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:36,000 So you can come and see it now anytime you want. For those of you listening, if it sounds like like this is just totally spontaneous. 96 00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:44,000 When Sarah and I talked to her in the week, it's always like when I ask her questions like, well, and she's like, no, no, no, it's got to be on the air. 97 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:48,000 So like we have no private conversations anymore. No, we don't. We don't. 98 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000 It's a very singular, very singular relationship. Yeah. 99 00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:00,000 It's like I'll talk to you about it on the air. So it's really precious. And I love it. It's like, oh, my God, I can't wait to see you now. 100 00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:04,000 Not that that matters. No, but it's nice. So it's like, it's a great motivation. 101 00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:12,000 It's like so when I respond to something like a new house or a concept, it's like so so raw because I'm just hearing about it. 102 00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:18,000 Yeah. So that's all cool. What else? So your trip to Austin. OK, yeah. 103 00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:27,000 So this was amazing. We actually drove from you. We drove from Florida. Yeah. So how many miles is that? More than five. 104 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:34,000 More than five miles. It's like five thousand. No, it's a road trip. 105 00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:41,000 But Robin and I sometimes we enjoy jumping in Raven that we name our cars. Your big caddy. My Cadillac. 106 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:45,000 It's the de-escalade. Knack paddywhack still riding Cadillac. Right. 107 00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:53,000 But I know I get a lot of grief from my my brother. They're like big into like saving gas and electric vehicles and all that stuff. 108 00:17:53,000 --> 00:17:57,000 And I get these evil looks about it's like, OK, I can't stand it. 109 00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:03,000 If you want to talk about so-called fossil fuels sometimes and what a what a what you do do for the planet. 110 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:08,000 What a Psyop. What a Psyop. Yeah. The whole fossil fuel to the wrong person. 111 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:14,000 It's like, yeah, you don't even want to go there. No, I want to talk to you, but you don't want to talk to me. 112 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:20,000 That's it. But it's complete Psyop. We have so much oil like it's this world has got so much oil. 113 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:27,000 But they will go over there another time. But so we decided to drive for for several reasons. 114 00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:31,000 Road trip. Well, we actually enjoy road trips. Yeah, we do. 115 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:35,000 Because, you know, we stop. We we like to pull up. Did you go on a route that you haven't been on before? 116 00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000 Well, there's no easy routes to get there. Like if I wanted to take four days, I could do that. 117 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,000 But it took two days as it is. You know, we just we just usually stop. 118 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:47,000 We drive like two thirds of the way and pull off some. 119 00:18:47,000 --> 00:18:50,000 So you'll do it. How many hours do you spend in one stop in a car? 120 00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,000 I mean, I can't I don't like to sit for more than two or three hours. 121 00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:58,000 And then you get up and we get up and switch seats like, you know, Robin will drive for a bit. 122 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:01,000 So we'll take turns. And it's very flexible. 123 00:19:01,000 --> 00:19:05,000 Do you listen to music or do you just talk? We do. We talk. We sleep. We listen. 124 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:10,000 I mean, now I'm driving. But, you know, just you know what we do? 125 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:16,000 We just we're both so busy that when we're driving in the car, it's our it's our chance to just. 126 00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000 Talk about stuff. There's no agenda. It's kind of like this. 127 00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:26,000 We look forward to it. Not that we look forward to the long hours and hours on the road, but we don't we don't. 128 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:30,000 It's it's not something we despair about. It's like, well, you can't you have to accept it. 129 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:35,000 This can't be any other. Yeah. The other thing is we had gifts for my son and his wife. 130 00:19:35,000 --> 00:19:41,000 They live in Austin. He works for the state for DOT. What's that? 131 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:47,000 Department of Transportation. He's an analyst. Does the he analyzes the satellite data. 132 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:51,000 Oh, they figure out where the next roads and just all that stuff. 133 00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:56,000 It sounds interesting. Oh, yeah. It's fascinating. It's like way out of my way out of my room. 134 00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:01,000 That's yeah. I'm a nerd, but that's yeah. I ask you a lot of questions and I'll be blinking a lot. 135 00:20:01,000 --> 00:20:07,000 So but we had a great time. We just missed his birthday by a day or two. 136 00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:15,000 We had his birthday and his wife's birthday. And if you look around their kitchen, virtually everything in the kitchen is stuff we gave them. 137 00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:23,000 Like really nice, you know, just just things that make life in the kitchen easier because Robin's a chef. 138 00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,000 So it's simple for us to say, OK, this works for us. 139 00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:31,000 This is a premium appliance that everybody needs. You've tested and we tested and true. 140 00:20:31,000 --> 00:20:42,000 And we give them so sweet to them. We went out to lunch and dinner and went to South Congress Street, which is due south of Austin. 141 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:47,000 And it's it's a street you can look straight up and see the whole skyline of Austin. 142 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:53,000 It's oh, it's it's nice photos. I got one. It's actually on my Facebook. 143 00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,000 It's it's I'll send it to you. But but what's on this street? 144 00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000 Is it restaurants, cafes? Yeah, you know, it's very it's very cool street. It's like. 145 00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:13,000 It's like old time Austin. There's there's places, art shops and galleries and music and, you know, mystics and, you know, 146 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,000 that's yes, I have to visit Austin. It's just all that funky stuff. 147 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:23,000 Yeah, it is your vibe. Yeah. They even had like all the girls with their little boots, their little white boots on and stuff. 148 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:28,000 I'm like, dang, I forgot my white boots. It was so cute and adorable. 149 00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000 You know, there's we listen to this little band. They're singing the blues. There's a female bass player. 150 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,000 So it was super cool. But but but it kind of dovetails into something. 151 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:41,000 I wanted to bounce off you. So I'll go back to Austin in a second. 152 00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:49,000 We then we drove up. We had a nutraceutical convention in Dallas and met some of my old my other friends and stuff that are in the industry. 153 00:21:49,000 --> 00:22:03,000 And the nutraceutical is an organization. So nutraceuticals are these are medical grade nutrients that are formulated to have a positive impact on human health. 154 00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:10,000 So, you know, a lot of them so-called pharmaceuticals that are out there are actually petroleum based. 155 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:15,000 Like they're they're derived from the byproducts from the petroleum industry. 156 00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:20,000 And those are not always good for your body. That's why you have so many. Does it sound like it should be good? Does it? 157 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:27,000 Yeah, it's just like that's why there's so many like, by the way, you know, you can get rid of your acne with this drug, but your leg might fall off. 158 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:33,000 Right. But it's like, so there's a lot of us that are going more towards nature. 159 00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:39,000 These plants, the roots, the leaves, the fruits, you know, the skins. 160 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:46,000 Nature gives us a lot of really beautiful compounds that are great, great, great, great grandparents. 161 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:53,000 They knew about this stuff. But our school system, even our medical doctors, they're absolutely ignorant as a rule. 162 00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:59,000 There's a few exceptions, but as a rule, they're ignorant. And that's why people prescribe the chemical. 163 00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:02,000 Yeah, and those double prescribe the chemical. 164 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:08,000 But they don't understand that the chemical was based on something that was originally found in nature. 165 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,000 So just go back to nature. You can almost always find that. 166 00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000 So I found out last week I had a blood panel and I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. 167 00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:19,000 Sure. So I need to talk to you about that. 168 00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:27,000 Sure. Yeah. So yeah, here's an example. Great, great example. There's four types of vitamin vitamin B12. 169 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:37,000 I'm learning how to speak the king's English, the queen's English. But B12 is called. There's there's four types of B12. 170 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:45,000 I don't want to get into the chemistry, but there's four types of B12. B12 from from the soil comes from healthy soil. 171 00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000 Healthy soil is soil that's got bacteria and fungal activity. 172 00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000 And that comes through the product, the what's grown in that soil. 173 00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:59,000 Yeah. So you like you'll have bacteria in the soil that's eating the decaying matter. 174 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:04,000 Right. So you might have like if you look at healthy soil, it's got bacteria and fungal activity. 175 00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:09,000 There's a there's quite a called a mycelium. It's under the soil. It's a network. 176 00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:14,000 It's complete network of fungal activity. Right. And these plants communicate. 177 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:20,000 If you've ever seen the movie Avatar, the you know, the plants were communicating under the soil. 178 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:25,000 That's actually true. They actually do communicate with each other under the soil. 179 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:30,000 But it's not just the fungus, it's the bacteria. It's a complete ecosystem under the soil. 180 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:38,000 Of course it would be, though. But I mean, this is what God did. Whatever created this has to function beautifully, minutely and in detail with precision. 181 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:41,000 So this is not. Yeah. And when you look at the circle of. 182 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:48,000 So it's the soil that's really, really important. So that allows you to put fruit and vegetables, grow fruit and vegetables in it. 183 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:54,000 And then the vitamin, in my case, the vitamin B12 is going to be in what I'm consuming. 184 00:24:54,000 --> 00:25:01,000 The B12 comes from it's the metabolic byproduct of bacteria in the soil. 185 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:05,000 So the bacteria break down and they they they manja. Right. 186 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:12,000 They they eat, they they live, they breathe, they digest, they procreate and they poop and they pee. Right. 187 00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:15,000 So they get rid of stuff into the soil. 188 00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:22,000 Some of that byproduct, a lot of that byproduct is beneficial to us, most notably B12. 189 00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:29,000 So the more you can eat healthy, healthy foods from the soil, the soils that are not chemical and. 190 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,000 So when I go to Publix and I buy beetroots and cabbage, this is not going to give me. 191 00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:36,000 No. What you want to do is come to Phillips Island. 192 00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:42,000 I'll walk you to my garden and I'll have you taste raw asparagus right from right from the garden. 193 00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:46,000 Break it off. You don't cook it. You just eat it. And I'll give it to you. 194 00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:51,000 We have right now we have everglade tomatoes. 195 00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:54,000 They're they're as big as your little pinky nail. 196 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:57,000 They're tiny little things, but they're crazy delicious. 197 00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000 And I'll just give you some. And that's what a real tomato grown in real soil. 198 00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:05,000 So when it says at Publix organic, can you trust that to be good soil? 199 00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:09,000 It used to be you could trust organic, but you really can't anymore. 200 00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:19,000 There's also things that even if it's organic, the FDA, which is really a it stands for fraud and deception. 201 00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:30,000 Agents fraud and disruption, deception agents call out to my friend, call out to my chiropractor friend, John Bergman in South California for that. 202 00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:33,000 Hi, John. So John Bergman is a chiropractor. 203 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:38,000 Just an amazing guy, probably more knows more than he knows more. 204 00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:41,000 He was a guest. I don't think I could afford him. 205 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:48,000 He'd do it pro bono. You know what? I'm just going to John Bergman is one of the smartest doctors I know. 206 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:53,000 He's read more than anybody I know. He took his business down to San Diego. 207 00:26:53,000 --> 00:27:02,000 He was in San Diego. He took it down to Mexico like Tijuana, just so he can do the things that have to be done and not be regulated by the US regulators. 208 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:09,000 So let's back up because we talked about vitamin vitamin B12 and a supplement for now. 209 00:27:09,000 --> 00:27:13,000 And it's in supplements. Some some supplements are better than others. 210 00:27:13,000 --> 00:27:14,000 You let me know. We'll talk about that. 211 00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:18,000 We'll talk about that. But you want it to be as close to nature as possible. 212 00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:24,000 And so what there's we'll talk later about the types of B12 and why they're important to you. 213 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,000 So so we had this neutral. I everyone's listening. 214 00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000 They're they're head spinning because we're in Dallas a minute ago. 215 00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:35,000 Yes. And we went to be 12 deficiency. So back to Dallas. 216 00:27:35,000 --> 00:27:37,000 So we're in Dallas for the nutraceutical convention. 217 00:27:37,000 --> 00:27:44,000 But after the convention, I met up with my my daughter, my only daughter, and I met my youngest grandson. 218 00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:48,000 Oh, my good name is Lucas. And he's just such a lovely. 219 00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:52,000 How old is he? Five, four or five months now. 220 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:58,000 Oh, yeah, he's doing right out of the oven. And he's just so precious and so. 221 00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:02,000 Congratulations. That's lovely. I'll show you a picture. 222 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:10,000 So we just you know, we laughed, we cried, we had we had a great Greek dinner together and just just really, really good reunion. 223 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:20,000 Just had some some fun. But I need to go back to Austin now because I want to bounce this off of you because this is something that has never, 224 00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:28,000 ever happened to me before. And it's worthy of talking about within the context of our souls journey. 225 00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:35,000 Good. OK, so I'm going to be talking to author authoress Sarah Terry about this, 226 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:41,000 because within the context of your books and your experiences and like your library is amazing, 227 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000 between you and John John Bergman, I don't know who's read more. 228 00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:55,000 But but you know, and one thing one last thing on John Bergman, when I was in the homestretch for my Ph.D. 229 00:28:55,000 --> 00:29:01,000 like he and I are not friends like we've actually never met, but he was an inspiration to me to just get that done. 230 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:10,000 Like, oh, just because, you know, when you're in that homestretch, there's just you're tired, you're cranky, you're just burned out. 231 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:21,000 And you know, the goal and you know, just his he's such a wealth of information and he helps so many people. 232 00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:27,000 And I just wanted to be like him when I grow up, right? You know, I just he's just that he was such an inspiration to me. 233 00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:38,000 I don't think he even knows it. But but he just knowing him and seeing what he does for people helped me get over the finish line emotionally. 234 00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:45,000 So that's why I just want to give him that call. But as if he's ever going to hear it. Big John. 235 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:56,000 So so we had dinner. I was we were walking up Congress where we went down one side and up the other. 236 00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:59,000 And the kids were hungry because kids are always hungry. Right. 237 00:29:59,000 --> 00:30:05,000 And so I said, just pick a place. We'll go eat there. So they just said, oh, we have to go this pizza place. 238 00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:09,000 It was a pizza place that had these tables right on the on the street. Right. 239 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:15,000 Yes. Right. Al Fresco. Yes. And so we we were sitting there. 240 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:19,000 We ordered our pizza. You know, we're eating and just visiting and having a good time. 241 00:30:19,000 --> 00:30:26,000 And it was almost sunset. And this homeless lady, she had, you know, like the what do you call it? 242 00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:31,000 The burka, the the hijab, hijab. Yeah. Yeah. 243 00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:39,000 The job with the band. And she was all robed up and she had these combat boots on and she was pushing the cart. Right. 244 00:30:39,000 --> 00:30:45,000 I looked, it's like this is a stereotypical homeless lady. 245 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:50,000 And I saw her like we were like three tables away from the sidewalk. 246 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:54,000 So we're not like right next to the sidewalk. But I was able to see her. 247 00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:59,000 And she stopped at the first table and asked for food. And they ignored her. 248 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:02,000 And she went to the second table and asked for food and they ignored her. 249 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:07,000 She went to the third table and they ignored her. And I'm like, oh crap, I got to help this lady. 250 00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,000 So she started to go like past the restaurant, just evidently giving up. 251 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:18,000 So I told her I ran. I told my kids and my spouse. I said, hold on a second. 252 00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,000 I got so I ran to the lady and I'm like, come over here. I'm going to give you some food. 253 00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:30,000 And so she parked her baggage like, you know, the vertical cart, you know, that sometimes you see. 254 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:33,000 It wasn't like a grocery cart, just a vertical cart. 255 00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,000 And so we walk up to the window and I told the lady, I said, I want to buy her some food. 256 00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:42,000 Here's the money, whatever she wants. Just give her just give her some food. Right. 257 00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,000 And the lady looked at me, didn't say anything, just looked at me and I went back to my table. 258 00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:50,000 So I just prepaid her food and she ordered some stuff. 259 00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:57,000 After she got her food, she was walking by our table and I thought, OK, well, you know, I don't. 260 00:31:57,000 --> 00:32:01,000 I want to interact with my kids, not this lady, although I did want to feed her. Right. 261 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:06,000 So she walks up to the table and I thought, oh, this is kind. 262 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000 She's probably she's she's probably going to say, you know, thanks for this lovely. 263 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000 Thank you. Bless you. Whatever. 264 00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:20,000 She looks at my spouse and says, are you a Jew? 265 00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:30,000 And I'm like, isn't life funny where one reality and the next minute reality has changed. 266 00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,000 What? And she's like, you look like a Jew. 267 00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:38,000 This. No, I mean, I I have a lot of friends. They're Jewish. 268 00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,000 And I'm like, I don't even know what that means. 269 00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:46,000 So then she looks at me and she starts to she looks at me and says, 270 00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:50,000 you know, there's a car show in Austin this weekend. 271 00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:53,000 Wouldn't it be terrible if a bomb went off there? 272 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,000 Oh, I'm just like, holy shit. 273 00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:04,000 So my kids are sitting there and she starts to she starts to launch on me about how evil America is. 274 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:08,000 And I was just like, I did not see this coming. 275 00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:11,000 No. So were you quick to adjust in your head? 276 00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:15,000 Well, so she was wearing this very large like you couldn't see her form. 277 00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,000 And I was thinking I immediately thought to myself, now your guard is up. 278 00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000 She's pissed off. And now you don't know what you're dealing with. 279 00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,000 Well, the thing is, like, I was the farthest away from her and my family was between me and her. 280 00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:32,000 So I was like, OK, I don't know if she's armed, if she's going to be one of those crazy people. 281 00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000 I had no idea. Blows herself up or something. 282 00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:38,000 So she was but I was just I didn't know what to think. 283 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000 What a situation to find yourself in. 284 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,000 So I stood up and I walked towards her. Right. 285 00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000 Because sometimes you have to. 286 00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,000 Well, you have to you have to show some dominance in that situation. 287 00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:52,000 You also got to get control because you want your family behind you. 288 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:57,000 So I put my family behind me and I told her I and she was really getting in my face. 289 00:33:57,000 --> 00:34:04,000 And I said, she started asking me a bunch of questions about this, you know, America's policies and all this stuff. 290 00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000 And I just coherent in her speech. 291 00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:10,000 She was very much so. In fact, I spoke to my I spoke to my spouse about this afterwards. 292 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:13,000 But I'll get back to that. She was very coherent. 293 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:19,000 She had direct eye contact. She had her vernacular was excellent. 294 00:34:19,000 --> 00:34:21,000 And I'll just fast forward. 295 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:31,000 I was thinking at the afterwards, it's like I wonder if this was like a test of some kind where she was like a university professor from University of Texas, Austin. 296 00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:39,000 And she was, you know, trying to get the gauge or maybe some sort of a social experiment or maybe there's a camera here. 297 00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:47,000 Yeah. I mean, you're going into realms which would lead to paranoia, but they're definitely worth asking because you don't know what is going on. 298 00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:51,000 You know, and what's this with this lady's agenda? Yeah. 299 00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:57,000 And so I literally told her, I said, I will answer your questions, but I'll do it over by your bag. 300 00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:00,000 And I didn't wait for her. I walked over to her bag. 301 00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:06,000 I just walked right over is like 30 feet away by the corner. 302 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:11,000 I got her away from my family and I basically and how what was her as a carry on. 303 00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:20,000 So she continued to tell me all about her, her beliefs and I don't want to say her beliefs because you see, I went to fucking listen to her at that point. 304 00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:22,000 The moment she'd said to Robin, are you a Jew? 305 00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:28,000 And you could see that she was angry. You were really good because you allowed her some forum to vent. 306 00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000 I think I would have been like, fuck this shit. Well, it wasn't very long. 307 00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000 It was maybe 30 seconds and I'm like, yeah, this is not going the way I expected. 308 00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:40,000 And you are not cool. And I'm out of your vicinity. 309 00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:43,000 So I wanted to get her away from my family, which is what I did. 310 00:35:43,000 --> 00:35:52,000 And so she was like I was by her cart and we were literally like beak to beak about 18 inches face to face. 311 00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:57,000 And I was just like I told her, but I was very peaceful because she can get angry. 312 00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:01,000 But just because somebody's angry in your face doesn't mean you can't be a peaceful warrior. 313 00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000 Yeah. And so I look you do have very calming, peaceful energy. 314 00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:11,000 Well, I mean, it just just exudes from you. So that's great that you practice that. 315 00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:14,000 You know, she's loud and belligerent. 316 00:36:14,000 --> 00:36:18,000 Yeah. Well, as a special operator, you never want things to escalate. 317 00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:21,000 You always want to de-escalate things always. 318 00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:31,000 And one of the best ways you can do that is by bringing your voice down and just being so the conversation ended probably another less than a minute later. 319 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:44,000 But I told her, I said the way I wrapped it up was I said, it sounds like based on your belief systems that you believe that Americans are very evil people. 320 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:55,000 And she's she agreed. I said, and you shared with me that because America's evil, it's up to you to point out those evils and to do something about it. 321 00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:00,000 And she says, you're that's exactly right. And she's agreeing with me because you want to get agreement. 322 00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:15,000 Well played. And I said, I said, and according to what I'm perceiving, your God is going to smile upon you because you're doing the right thing and calling out these evils. 323 00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:25,000 Well done. And she says, yes. And I said, I want you to know that your God is extremely happy with you for calling out those evils. 324 00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,000 Did you? I sold her that. Oh, my goodness. Did you? 325 00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:35,000 And I said, but you're being sarcastic. I said, you've done a good job. Oh, my goodness. You affirmed her. 326 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:41,000 And it's time for you to move along. Oh, you had to just wanted her to exit. But you have to deescalate. 327 00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:49,000 It's like you're we heard your message. I heard your message. We're done here. Yeah. But you weren't being truthful. 328 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:57,000 Well, I was framed. I was framed. Well, no, my frame up was with respect to her relationship to her God. 329 00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:06,000 Yes. But yes, but it was the last bit. It was the last bit. I see I needed to put closure on this and get rid of her because she was going to continue to escalate it. 330 00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,000 So you had to agree with her in order to dispel this. I had to get her to agree three times with me. 331 00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:18,000 Right. She agreed three times, which it would be very difficult for her to disagree with me the fourth time. Yes. 332 00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000 Well, you've put a cap on it, haven't you? So I had her agree with me three times. You've pulled all the power out of her. 333 00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:28,000 So I got her to agree. This is just martial arts. You just got to keep them off balance. 334 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:37,000 The last thing in the world she expected was me to agree with her. Yes. And affirm that her God is in approval with her actions, which is what you don't believe because he's not. 335 00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:46,000 He actually doesn't care because there's no such God as that anyway. But you know, at this point, I knew this lady for like, you know, three minutes or something. 336 00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:53,000 So it's like, I'm not going to be a psychoanalyzer. Well, no, you have to. Well, no. Yeah, exactly. But you have a job to do, and that's keep your family safe. 337 00:38:53,000 --> 00:39:03,000 Right. And you fed her. You did. That was beautiful. And then she took advantage of your good nature. And part of the reason she did that, she's on a very, very low vibration. 338 00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:10,000 That's part of the reason she's wandering around the streets homeless. She's not going to have anything in life which represents peace, joy, laughter, 339 00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:19,000 because she is on a mission now to proselytize her anger on behalf of a fictitious God that she believes is real. 340 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:28,000 And her life is a very, very low, debase existence. And I think you showed her compassion. You disarmed her beautifully. 341 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:32,000 I would I I'm going to learn from that, because I know how I would have reacted. 342 00:39:32,000 --> 00:39:41,000 It was it was very difficult to do because I was because my mind was going like a well, you know, we have a thing, again, being a special operator in the military. 343 00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:46,000 There's this concept called the fog of war. Have you ever heard of the fog? Okay. 344 00:39:46,000 --> 00:40:00,000 So the fog of war means that when you have a lot of information coming at you very quickly and you don't know what's false and you don't know what's true, that it can create this fogginess. 345 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:05,000 Like if you and I. So the fogginess is the processing is the processing time. 346 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:10,000 That's your mind just evaluating everything. And there's no clarity because it's all in evaluation. 347 00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:23,000 Correct. So like like if you and I were thrown into a situation, let's just say you and I were pushed out of an airplane in parachute and we fell into this village in the middle of some continent. 348 00:40:23,000 --> 00:40:32,000 We would not know who's friendly, who's who's a friend, who's a foe, what's safe, what's not safe. There will be all of these unanswered questions. 349 00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:38,000 And what you'd be looking to do is you'd very quickly try to ascertain where am I safe and secure. 350 00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:46,000 And when you're when you're uncertain about what you can trust and what you can't trust, what's fact, what's fiction. 351 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:56,000 When you're in that that space of uncertainty, uncertainty, that is called the fog. And if it's in warfare, it's called the fog of war. 352 00:40:56,000 --> 00:41:01,000 Right. Where you don't know I'm going to shoot something there. Is that a friend or a foe? 353 00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:08,000 I don't know if that's I don't know what's true and I don't know what's false. 354 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:15,000 And I think a lot of Americans are in that place right now. Like in our world, we don't know what to believe and what not to believe. 355 00:41:15,000 --> 00:41:21,000 But on a micro level with this homeless lady, which I think she was homeless because she wanted to be. 356 00:41:21,000 --> 00:41:28,000 She was a very bright lady. And if she wanted it, if she wanted to wait tables and make cash business or something, she could do that. 357 00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:33,000 But there was clearly not part of the message that she wanted to convey. 358 00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:39,000 So yes, I mean, a very, very interesting encounter. I mean, life throws these at you. 359 00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:49,000 You know, I've learned something. I think whenever I've argued with my husband, because we've had some really, you know, hardcore arguments over the years, I have a tendency to raise my voice. 360 00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:55,000 And it's absolutely what you don't do. You have a very smooth, even voice. 361 00:41:55,000 --> 00:42:02,000 And that's I think you can communicate without just getting loud because it does amplify things. 362 00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:07,000 I mean, had I been a better communicator, we wouldn't have had so many arguments. And I'm much better at this now. 363 00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:13,000 I mean, I've been married for 30 years, but the tendency to raise one's voice in that situation, she was doing that. 364 00:42:13,000 --> 00:42:15,000 Was she calm or was she raising her voice? 365 00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:23,000 Now, she was she was definitely the aggressor. Yeah, she was definitely. But but what I've learned, how did she just parted and said, oh, thank you for the pizza. 366 00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,000 Oh, no. Well, it's all nonverbals at this point. 367 00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:35,000 At this you can you can control people with your verbals and nonverbals like she's going to if there's a weak person, you can they're going to take your cues. 368 00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:44,000 They're going to take your visual cues. So I walked I walked. I said I told her I said I will talk about these things over here. 369 00:42:44,000 --> 00:42:49,000 And so I didn't wait for her to follow me. I walked to her stuff. 370 00:42:49,000 --> 00:42:56,000 And if her stuff is the only thing she's got in the world, then I pose a risk to her stuff. Right. I like that. 371 00:42:56,000 --> 00:43:02,000 So there's so this. Yeah. Plus, it's 30 feet away. So the proximity is now what you want. 372 00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:12,000 So in special operations, you know, Americans and British, the Western world, there's whenever there's a conflict, people say there's offense and there's defense. 373 00:43:12,000 --> 00:43:17,000 Right. And so that's a traditional way you look at a hockey team or soccer soccer team, football team. 374 00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:23,000 There's offense and defense. Special operators look at things differently. 375 00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:27,000 We look at things asymmetrically. It's actually called asymmetrical warfare. 376 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:36,000 But basically, you look at things differently. I look at things like counteroffense and counterdefense. 377 00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:45,000 How do I if you and I are arguing or fighting, how do I defeat your ability to defend yourself? 378 00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:49,000 How do I defeat your ability to wage war upon me? 379 00:43:49,000 --> 00:44:01,000 So counteroffense and counterdefense are ways to defeat your enemy's ability to defend themselves or to be further aggressive, be aggressive. 380 00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:05,000 So a lot of what I was doing was just trying to find ways to counter. This is interesting. 381 00:44:05,000 --> 00:44:11,000 So I had a situation up on 27. There's and it's on 19 and 27. 382 00:44:11,000 --> 00:44:18,000 There's some abandoned hotels and I was up there with Tony and Smokey and Ray when his wife was alive. 383 00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:22,000 They were in another car and we just drove around because we were looking for space at the time. 384 00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:26,000 I won't go into that, but we were looking at this abandoned hotel. 385 00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:34,000 And then I drove drove around and I came back and then this car came up and it pulled in front of me. 386 00:44:34,000 --> 00:44:38,000 And I knew that this guy was aggressive, but I didn't think about my reaction. 387 00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:41,000 This was instinctive because one of my kids was in the car. 388 00:44:41,000 --> 00:44:47,000 So I got I got out the car and then I walked towards his truck and I walked straight up to him. 389 00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:54,000 And I was just very friendly. I said, oh, hi. We were and then he opened his car, but he was holding a piece of pipe. 390 00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000 I didn't see it at the time or it was a screwdriver or spanner or something. 391 00:44:57,000 --> 00:45:02,000 He was holding it and I knew that I was in a really, really sticky situation. 392 00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,000 But I had everyone. They were over here because I'd walked over there. 393 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:11,000 And then I just remember saying, I said, oh, hi, I said, and I said, I was looking at this hotel. 394 00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:14,000 I said, we used to eat at a restaurant here. Do you know where that restaurant is? 395 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:19,000 Is it in town? And he looked at me and he thought I was there just to look for this restaurant. 396 00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,000 And then he said something about, yeah, I think it's in town. It was an old Thai restaurant. 397 00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:26,000 I said, oh, thank you. I said, we're going to head into town and find it. 398 00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:28,000 Got everyone back in the car and we left. 399 00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:34,000 Now, what he had done, I think he was a meth had a meth lab in one of the abandoned hotel rooms. 400 00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:38,000 So he didn't know whether I was in a Cadillac. It was in my sports car. 401 00:45:38,000 --> 00:45:42,000 He didn't know who I was. But then so I just used a person. 402 00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:47,000 Oh, I'm just here. It was all just quirky, silly. But it just got him off guard. 403 00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,000 He never revealed what he was holding, but I could see his arm down like that. 404 00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,000 And he had the door as his shield and we just left. 405 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:58,000 But in that situation, I was very confident that I needed my peeps behind me. 406 00:45:58,000 --> 00:46:03,000 And I needed. But I also knew that I hadn't I didn't I have no martial arts training. 407 00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,000 So I knew this was all going to have to be verbal and I'd have to disarm him. 408 00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:10,000 Let him know that I'm just a friendly tourist having an English accent helped. 409 00:46:10,000 --> 00:46:12,000 I was on my way. It's very disarming. 410 00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,000 It's like, oh, this pretty blonde, just, you know, just asking a silly question. 411 00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:19,000 Yes, it worked. That's that's awesome. 412 00:46:19,000 --> 00:46:22,000 So well, anyway, thank you for listening to my homeless. 413 00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,000 You know, I've I've been I admire how you handled it. 414 00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:29,000 I've interacted with so many homeless. And this is the first time it wasn't part of you pissed off. 415 00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:33,000 Like you fucking bitch. I gave you some pizza and then you do me like that. 416 00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000 You know, 20 years ago, yes. Yeah. 417 00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:41,000 You know, what I found myself doing was just blessing, just feeling sorry, just blessing her. 418 00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:44,000 Because I've not walked in her shoes. Exactly. 419 00:46:44,000 --> 00:46:46,000 I don't know what she's been up against. 420 00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:52,000 You know, clearly she's been through some sort of abusive religious 421 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,000 because religions can sometimes really mess people's brains up. 422 00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:00,000 Right. And so I don't know what she's been through. 423 00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:02,000 I don't know what she's been through. So I have to know. 424 00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,000 So you can't go fucking, you know, anything. 425 00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,000 But I would there would have been an irritation in that for me. 426 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,000 But it would have been transitory. I would have found myself at your point 427 00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:15,000 because you do have to take into consideration what are your previous lives? 428 00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:18,000 What are you doing here? Is this your chosen life plan? 429 00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:21,000 I have something. Maybe we can do this on the next podcast. 430 00:47:21,000 --> 00:47:24,000 OK, we can lead from this into what's in a life plan. 431 00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:28,000 And this is going to dovetail really nicely into what you've just talked about. 432 00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:30,000 Well, I'm excited for our next podcast. 433 00:47:30,000 --> 00:47:33,000 And so is there anything else you want to talk about today? 434 00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:36,000 Well, I need to talk about this homeless situation in the next one, 435 00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,000 because it will lead into what I want to just read a quote from my book. 436 00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:41,000 OK, good. That's great. 437 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:46,000 Well, good for you. I think that's great. I like the way that if I travel, I want you with me. 438 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,000 Well, to be clear, I was armed. I might go off half cocked. 439 00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:52,000 I was pretty well armed too. 440 00:47:52,000 --> 00:47:54,000 Oh, that's good. I'm always armed. 441 00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:57,000 Yes, I was too. Pack a Mac. 442 00:47:57,000 --> 00:47:59,000 My friends always kind of make fun of me. 443 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:04,000 To me, a gun is a compliment. It's like an adjunct piece. 444 00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:10,000 Like, I don't need a gun because I've got these, but I've also got this. 445 00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:13,000 But I've always got something. 446 00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:17,000 But when you know how to fight, this chair is a weapon. 447 00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:19,000 That microphone is a weapon. 448 00:48:19,000 --> 00:48:22,000 Yes, fingernails. A stiletto. 449 00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:26,000 That drum kit there has got like 20 weapons on it. 450 00:48:26,000 --> 00:48:30,000 I know I'm buying you for your birthday a nice knuckle duster. 451 00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:34,000 You're so sweet.
