is Dr. Phillips. You're listening to Soul Decodes.
And I'm with Sarah Tirri. Hello, everyone.
Hi, darling. What is going on with you, Sarah?
Well, I just had a bite of a banana, which was
underripe. Banana? So it sucked. Oh, really?
Yeah. I can get you a ripe one. No, it's totally
fine. I just was grinning there because I just
needed a couple of bites. They were on my stomach
to rumble. Because last week when I was talking,
I could hear it rumble. I hope none of the listeners
did. I'm going to go ahead and mute my phone
because... My phone's been blowing up lately.
There's a lot of people excited about a lot of
cool things going on. So what's been going on?
Well, my stuff is business related, most of it.
I do have some health and wellness breakthroughs.
I get a lot of people that are turning the corner.
Nice. Oh, that's good. The biggest thing I'm
finding is that people are finally comprehending
how toxic they are. And just by cleaning. Emotionally,
mentally, physically, everything. All above.
And just by taking out the trash, like some people
that are doing all this stuff to lose weight.
I don't like losing weight. I want you to keep
your weight. Lose fat. But lose fat. Yeah, you
don't like the weight interchangeable with fat.
I want you to trim up. Do you correct people
on that? Oh, I do. So you don't want to lose
weight. You need to lose fat. Yeah, I asked them
the question. It's like, so if you're on the
beach and you have a perfect, what you think
is your perfect body, whatever that is, and you
look at it, you look in your mirror, you look
beautiful. And then you step on the scale and
you weigh 300 pounds, but you look perfect. Yeah.
Are you okay with that? I don't get on the scale.
Do you? Well, no, I don't either. I never looked
to me. If I look in the mirror and I'm like,
yeah, that's all I care about. It's not about
the weight and that's where people are. Yes.
Cause muscle weighs a lot. Yeah. Like when you
look at me, I don't look, I don't look heavy.
No. But if you try to move me, it's not going
to work. You know, it's like. You're not going
to move me. It's going to take like four people
to move me, right? Well, that's good. Unless
you need a paramedic. It's like, God, I can't
move this chick. But yeah, I think the message,
and this is with athletes too, because... So
let's just go back to when I came in. So I was
talking about the stairs because we're up in
the treehouse and I don't know how many stairs,
there's like 20. And we were talking about stairs
and in my other house, I had stairs up and down
all the time and I had to let the dogs in and
out. So I was using the stairs and I noticed
what it was doing to my legs. It was a really,
really good workout. And then you were talking
about when you were coaching boxing and that
you would have to tire the athletes out before
you'd let them in the ring together. So you were
talking about, so just pick up on that. That
was interesting. Yeah, so for those of you joining
us, we try not to talk before the mics are turned
on because we have so many cool conversations
off the mic. We just try to make it an agreement
that if there's going to be something interesting
that's of general interest to the world, we're
just going to... On the mic. Just wait, go on
the mic. So yeah, we were just talking briefly
about... And Sarah brought up the steps, and
I told her that some of the best athletes I've
trained, or even in my own personal training
journey, running, we call it running stairs or
running steps, is one of the best things you
can do. I mean, walking them would still be good.
Totally. Yeah. So what I was doing, I went to
the Air Force Academy. The first two years, I
boxed. The third year, I coached. So I still
boxed, but it was not competitively. I was the
coach. And then the fourth year, I was a manager.
So while I was a coach, I was also a ref. So
I coached, and then they needed refs, so I refed.
Refing boxing was one of the toughest things
I've done. Oh, really? It was tough. What was
tough about it? Well, because you have two fighters.
You've really got to pay freaking attention.
Well, you have two fighters that are really good
athletes, and they're at a high altitude. Because
Colorado Springs is pretty high altitude, so
the air is very thin. So if they're not conditioned,
they're going to get winded. If they get winded
and they can't defend themselves, one hit and
they're out. And you don't want them to... It's
not about knocking people out in intercollegiate
boxing or intramurals. You don't want them to
knock each other out. You want them to score
and get... Yeah, and the least amount of pain.
Yeah, because if somebody... And that's why I
did not box. as a junior or senior, because if
you get knocked out, you don't know what that's
going to do to your pilot qualification. And
to me, flying airplanes was the priority. Winning
a boxing fight. Hitting your head on the floor.
Winning a match. Winning a match is not as important
as maintaining your health. And nor is causing
the injury. I mean, you don't want to bang your
head and be knocked out. Right. Yeah, so there's
that. Yeah, with a pilot. You've got his head
being bubble wrapped. Having a pilot have a concussion
is not a good thing. So anyway, we... When I
was training as a young athlete, I noticed how
winded I got. Going from Detroit, which is probably
800 feet above sea level, to Colorado Springs,
which is about a mile above sea level, that's
a lot less air. Oh, for sure. So I found that
when I trained up there and then I would go back
to Detroit, I would never get tired. Yeah? Never.
Yeah. So when I was training myself and also
my... my students my my young boxers we would
um i would try to i don't want them going into
the ring fresh i want them going in tired tired
yeah not not exhausted i think it's very humane
actually because you don't want them all revved
up going in yeah you don't want injuries you
don't want anyone to be knocked out we just want
to they're just training and they want to be
technically good don't they right and and what
i was sharing when we You say, well, wait, don't
talk anymore. Turn on the mics. That's where
we left off. Yeah, that's where we left off.
What I was sharing with you is that in the military,
we had this concept that if you could see how
a fighting force behaves when it's tired, when
it's hungry, when it's exhausted, when it's deprived
of any sort of... Nice thing. Nourishment. Nourishment.
Any sort of nice thing in their life. And they're
completely deprived. They're exhausted. They're
dirty. They're cold. They're hungry. It's the
pits. If you can have a fighting force that can
overcome all of those and still have this, I'm
not going to quit. I'm going to win. Yeah. And,
you know, it's going to take. 200 of you to take
one of us down and there's thousands of us so
good luck with that right so you have that if
you can come out of the mud and the dirt and
the cold and you're tired and you can still have
that that grit yeah it says assistance you could
do what you need but i'm still gonna win Yeah.
I'm impossible to defeat. You cannot defeat me.
And if you've been deprived of everything, at
what point is adrenaline going to come in? Because
you've accepted the fact that I'm going to win
and now you'd be adrenalized, wouldn't you? Because
you've now given yourself permission, like you're
not going to break me. Here I am. So even though
you've been through all that and you're hungry
and you're tired. I think mentally you could
break through that if you had a strong mind and
you'd been training your mind. Right. But I mean,
I couldn't do it. I mean, I'm such a baby. Well,
you say that, but you'd be surprised. So when
you're training an athlete, yes, there's the
physical part, but most of it's mental. Most
of being an athlete is mental. And a lot of it
has to do with your visualization, which dovetails
with your books. Your books are about visualizing.
Yeah. I love working with athletes. Visualize
the person you want to be. Just visualize it.
I love working with athletes even now because
they don't like to lose. Same with military.
But military sometimes... So you've got to have
the ability to visualize and you've got to be
competitive. Were you naturally competitive when
you were little? Oh, I hate losing. Right from
a little kid? Oh, as far back as I can remember.
In fact, quick story about boxing. When I was...
Two years old. Probably almost three. I was riding
a bike already. That was nice. My neighbors were
four years old. They were twin. They were, I
guess, fraternal twins. There was a brother and
sister the same age. Is that fraternal, I guess?
I think so. I think fraternal is when you look
like them. No, that's identical. That's identical.
Yeah, so fraternal. So you're born at the same
time, but you don't have the exact same DNA.
Whatever. not even that. So anyway, these, these
four year olds were, my brother was less, less
than a year younger than me. And they were just
being a little bit dorky towards my younger brother.
Now I'm only three, almost three. When you mean
dorky, do you mean uncool? Like just not cool.
You know, it was just kind of, you know, sometimes
kids poke other kids or whatever. Just they,
they play with the baby, but it's more than just
playing. Yes. They're like being a little bit
too much with the baby. I'm yeah. And, um, These
were my neighbors across the street, and at three
years old, I beat up both four -year -olds. No,
I'm not happy about that. I mean, I was, my mom
was like. But you'd gone into real protective
mode. No, I'm a defender my whole life. Yeah.
And I didn't know what I did wrong, but my mom
let me. And like a mama bear as well. Yeah, but
my mama bear. Yeah, your mama bear. My mama bear
came on. About your baby brother. You're not
going to talk to him like that. You're not going
to upset him and you just wait for him. You're
not going to grab his arm and make him squirm.
Because when you grab a baby, or not a baby,
a toddler. But the point is. These two four -year
-olds were not treating my younger brother kindly.
Respectfully. Respectfully, as a toddler. Kindly,
yeah. And I freaking came unglued on them. Probably
not rightfully so. But it begs the question.
I mean, Jesus Christ, how old were you? Well,
like I said, it was two minutes, almost three,
probably three. So there's nothing about whether
you were making the right critical decision.
You're just so young. You were just acting on
instinct. But that's the point is where did that
instinct come from? I never got beaten as a kid.
I never punched somebody. I never did that. So
where does that come from? It's a character trait
that is in your soul and you will have that because
we choose our lifetimes and we're born over and
over again. So you decided I need to be this
in order to succeed in my life plan. So that
was in you, but that was the first time it had
ever been experienced because now you're dealing
with, I mean, it was a sense of righteousness
as well. There was a lot going on with you as
a little two and a half year old. What did your
parents do about it? I don't remember. I just
remember I got in trouble. I'm like, that was
very confusing to me because I thought I was
doing the right thing. What was your relationship
with the two four -year -olds like after that?
I don't think they ever saw me again. My mom
and dad probably was like, yeah, she's got a
problem. She needs to go to a special school
or something. But, but still going back to the
athletes, uh, the, the, there's a, there's a
certain mentality with fighters. And even now
in the MMA world, like some of us were literally,
they call it MMA, like mixed martial arts. Yes.
My sons are into that. But, but when I was growing
up, we just call it street fighting. In Detroit,
we call that street fighting. Which means you
can just do anything. Which means you can do
anything. And we used to do that after school.
Could you ram your fingers into someone's eyeballs?
Whatever it took. Really, yeah. Look, the idea
is to win. Now, I'm not saying MMA, you can put
your fingers in somebody's eyes. No, they have
to regulate it. But growing up in Detroit...
Just do what it takes. And it's not always about
killing the person. That's kind of a wives...
We're certainly disarming them, isn't it? But
neutralizing the threat. which is kind of a military
thing, you only use the force you need to do
to neutralize the threat. And once they're no
longer threatening you. And you can back off.
And you see that in nature where you'll see a,
you might see a lion and a leopard or a tiger,
you know, these two competing, maybe there's
a ram and a tiger or an alligator and a eagle
or something. They don't keep fighting each other
after the other ones. Once they've got what they
want. Once it's like, okay, I'm leaving your
territory, you win. They don't keep fighting.
They're not bloodthirsty. Yeah, you made your
point. You defeated the risk. You defeated the
incumbent. They're on their way and you're done.
So going back to the boxers, I felt strongly
like to get them to be good boxers, you want
them to be physically tired, emotionally tired,
mentally tired, winded even, and then we'll start
training. We'll start talking about technique.
Because if you can get them to do the correct
technique, While they're tired, while they're
winded, then they're going to be better boxers
when they're fresh. Right. So I always try to
train them, get them broken down before you build
them up, that type of thing. But what's interesting
about that, you just said something about the
defender. At two and a half, three years old,
you don't know what you don't know. You're just,
you're answering a call. That's right. Well,
I'm going to share this quick story with you
and then we can talk about your stuff. Thursday
night, I went and listened to a biochemist. He's
from a local university. And it was part of the
permaculture group. I should invite you to some
of these because this guy is brilliant. I knew
who he was. He knew who I was. He didn't know
I was a PhD, but I knew he was. So when I heard
he was speaking, I was like, okay, I got to go.
Actually, Robin said, hey, this guy is speaking.
We need to go. So we both went. And it was beautiful.
It was outdoor on Lake David. Oh, beautiful.
On the back of the coffee building there. And
we're just sitting, and he did a great job. And
it was right at the end. They were just wrapping
up. My friend Paul, who runs the permaculture
group, was just making some announcements, and
there was this blood -curdling cry. Oh. This
girl screaming, like screaming bloody murder,
just like, what? Everybody heard it. It was just
like it was right next to you. Because when you're
on an open lake, somebody can be on the other
side of the lake talking and you can hear them.
Because that just propagates right across the
surface. Well, she was in terror, wasn't she?
She was screaming like crazy. But when you look
across the lake, it's kind of dark. And it was
coming from what looked like the community pier.
Okay. Because there's a little pier there where
there's a, there's a water park and picnic tables
and stuff. So I'm looking at, so all of us just
turned our attention to the pier. And there's
probably 25 people here at this, this seminar.
And everyone's just sitting there and she's continuing
to scream. Was anyone running over there? Did
you have anyone around? Were there people over
there? Don't know because it was dark. So I ran
over there. I jumped in my car and I screamed,
just went over there. You can't establish anything.
I took my, I took my Escalade and I put on my
brights and I put it. Oh, good. I put the brights
right on the pier. Cause it was really dark.
And I lit up the pier. Good for you. I was like,
I'd want you around. Please tell me she just
wasn't bitten by a mosquito. Well, no, I didn't.
Cause you don't know. Was she still screaming?
There's gators there. Like, you don't know if
she's getting raped or if there's, if she's gotten
bit by something or you don't know. So I came.
Of course, I'm armed, right? I didn't deploy
my weapon, but I had it with me. And so I put
on the brights. I run out there. And there was
already another adult there. There was a mom
at the playground with her. The kid looked about
four years old, three or four years old. So they
went over to see what the story was. And it turns
out that she, the girl, and her two brothers
were fishing on the dark pier. And the brother
cast the line. And the hook caught her in the
back. So she had a fish hook in her back. Oh,
Jesus. So I was the first, you know, I'm like,
okay, listen, don't move. Yeah. And did you dislodge
it? Well, no, no, no. I'm not going to do that
because fish hooks are, you can really do a lot
of damage. So I brought her to peace. The brother
was already calling. So she had this right in
the back? She had a fish hook in her. in her
back like that was that was just like her upper
shoulder and and her brother was casting so it
actually hooked her but so you don't want to
bend because i would instinctively want to go
in and just take the trajectory that it went
in and just take it out very slowly right except
for you're still going to have a line there because
you're pulling a hook through but it's still
attached to the line. So you can't pull it through.
Cause now the line's going through or so. And
I didn't have anything to cut it with. So I basically
said, look, just, we're going to hang tight.
He had already calmed down a little bit. She
did calm down. She was not screaming like crazy,
crazy. But the point is there's this mentality
of like, I made a decision a long time ago that
if I can help somebody, I'm going to do it. So
I actually went back to the building. And it
turned out Robin was calling me because she wanted
to make sure I wasn't in trouble. But I was busy,
so I didn't get the call. So now I got back there
and everyone's like, oh, they're happy to see
me because they don't know what's going on. Yeah.
As far as I'm concerned, I ran into this burning
building. Yeah. And they didn't hear from me,
right? Yeah. So anyway, I got back there and
they're all like, what happened? What happened?
I explained it to them. You should have fired
a couple of shots off. Really made it dramatic.
But the thing is, what I'm sharing is there's
this mentality. of people that are action oriented
athletes are action oriented military they're
action oriented and so what what happened here
was this it was whether it was trained or instinctual
or just a decision i made this could be compassion
you just want to help someone screaming i came
back and everyone's like there were three people
who said i felt I was going to do that or I felt
like I should do it or I should have. I feel
bad I didn't do it. You didn't act on it in this
little bit. That's kind of metaphoric. There's
so many people. They think they should do something.
They want to do something. They feel they should
have oughta, mighta, coulda, right? Yeah. But
very few people spring into action and do stuff.
Swing into action. It was funny. My husband and
I and the rest of my family, there was about...
I don't know, maybe 12 of us. And we'd gone to
this restaurant and it was right out in the boondocks.
It was up near Tavares somewhere. And we got
there and it was really, really busy. And the
only place that we could eat would be outside
because it was heaving. It was what? Heaving.
What's heaving mean? Really busy. Oh, OK, OK.
So busy. There wasn't one table full. Oh, I see,
OK. Food everywhere we'd picked. It was so busy.
So I immediately think, OK, we've got to eat
outside. And there was just one little square
table with two chairs. So I immediately go around
and I find all the tables. And they're those
little square aluminium things. They're very,
very light. Bring them all back, go and find
some chairs. And Tony's gone in to ask them to
do that. So when they came out, I'd already done
it. And he was really sweet about it. He said,
I like the way that you just took action. Because
I didn't want to wait. I think it's beautiful.
Let's just make it happen. Just go into action
mode and get what you need to happen. And I think
sometimes, and this is a really good point, because
sometimes, you know, we talk about action mode,
but sometimes it's not so much action, it's decision.
Because sometimes the correct thing for me to
do is to not act. So I make an affirmative decision.
To not act. This is especially true when I'm
talking to an idiot. Like when you're talking
to an idiot, you're going to make a decision
to not act. Yes. To not engage. Yeah. Certainly
don't want to be reactionary. So it doesn't mean
I'm being passive. I'm being deliberate. Yes.
I'm deliberately being non -interactive. Yeah.
Absolutely. But it's still an action, but it's
a non -action. It's still an action and it's
still going to, well, it's going to give you
the result that you want. You don't want to,
I mean, talking to an idiot, it's an awful thing
because no one's getting anything out of anything.
This is almost just like a redundant neutral
exchange. So how do you do it? So how would you
describe an idiot? What does that look like?
Well, first of all, I don't really necessarily
call people idiots. You just headbutt them instead.
Well, there's probably a handful of people I
would characterize as real idiots. But does idiot
to me, does that mean stupid in terms of brain
and intellect capacity? Or does it mean that
you've got the wrong facts and you're acting
on them? And is that an idiot? I would only apply
idiot to behaviors. Right. And not to character.
Because I believe everyone's beautiful and divine.
That's just me. But their behavior can be idiotic.
Okay. So what I like to do is, I don't typically
call people idiots. But I do call out their behavior.
But they can be idiotic over certain things and
on other things not. So it's not a general term.
So I don't even use the term idiot very often.
But what I do is I say there's ignorant and there's
stupid. So I'll use this in the context of what
I'll call medical doctors. There's some brilliant
medical doctors. They're really, really, really,
really good at what they do. But they don't know
they have a blind side. So most medical doctors
don't know anything about human health. They
call it health care, but it's not health or care
because they don't know what it takes to sustain
a beautiful, perfect, powerful human body. They're
great when it comes to putting... So they're
ignorant to you. So they're ignorant. Because
you don't know what you need to know to make
better decisions. That's what I'm saying. They're
ignorant. Some people, like you said, they don't
know what they don't know. And you can be ignorant,
and that's fine. But when somebody puts the spotlight
on it and says, hey, are you aware that there's
these natural compounds that do ABC -123? And
there's thousands of years of studies backing
this up. I'll provide them to you. Would you
be interested in learning more about these things?
And they respond with, no, I know everything
I need to know because I learned it in school.
Yes, that's pride, isn't it? Well, then they've
gone from being ignorant to being stupid. Dangerous.
Because stupid means I know I'm ignorant, but
I'm not going to do anything about it. Right.
Well, he's saying, I've learned everything I've
learned and needed to know, and I learned it
in school. Well, let's talk about pilots, too,
because I've run into captains, and I'm sure
Tony's run into captains. They become dangerous
when they become stupid. A captain has to understand,
I don't know everything about everything. Some
act that way. But if you don't know everything
about everything, you have to acknowledge that
you're still a student. You have things to learn.
Yes, and someone else might know something. Your
first officer might have a key thing, some super
idea of how to get out of this situation. And
there's been a lot of air accidents because the
captain's so ignorant and the captain's ignorant.
The first officer has the answer but won't speak
up. Why? Because the captain... The captain's
now going to just recommend him. Yes. I'd ground
that fucking captain. You need to listen to your
first officer. Sometimes. But you can't have
him now scared to say anything. That is a horrible
cockpit management. Absolutely. And there's times,
especially with a female captain, a young female
captain and an older male first officer. That
dynamic is tough. Wow. But that's where the female,
during the pre -brief, because whenever you have
a new crew, the captain does a briefing. We get
the flight attendants and everybody, get them
all together and say, hey, hi, I'm Captain Phillips.
I'm blah, blah, blah, a little background. Just
introduce ourselves to each other. I'm armed.
I'm a flight deck officer. I'm armed. I need
to know about any other weapons that are on board.
who they are, where they're sitting, because
you have to know where all the weapons are, right?
So I'm armed. This is the way it is. Make sure
you're not coming into the flight deck unannounced.
But aren't their weapons going to be in the hold?
Oh, no. When I was flying, I was armed. But no
passengers? No, full passengers, everything.
But passengers can be armed and have their gun
on board with... No, no, I was the captain. Yes,
you're armed. Yeah, I'm armed. Where did you
think all the other guns were? Who would have
the other guns? Oh, we used to fly into Reagan
National all the time. When you fly into D .C.,
first of all, there are certain... Even the Postal
Service was armed. Wow. Secret Service. Oh, okay.
I'd have air marshals. I've had air marshals
that are armed. And air marshals come... Well,
I can't talk too much about air marshals because
it's proprietary. But anyway, these different
people, pretty much anyone with the White House
that we flew. So at one time you could have 20
guns on board? I don't think I've ever had 20.
And you need to know where they all are? Yes.
And what do they do? Are they allowed to carry
them on them or do they have to go up into the
locker? It depends on who they are. Right. And
you make that call? No, it's all protocol. Okay.
Virtually all the time, they're armed, they have
their weapons. I know who they are, they know
I'm armed. The reason they need to know that
the captain's armed is because they don't have
to worry about the flight deck. If that door
opens and I don't like what I see, it's not going
to be there anymore. So they don't really have
to worry. Is an American Airlines captain armed
now, today, flying down to Hawaii from Los Angeles?
I can't really address those things on the air
because those numbers, those figures... I didn't
know that they were. Tony's never mentioned that
they are. He doesn't pack when he's flying. He
could if he wanted to. Could he? I'll have to
ask him. It just depends on... International
flights have different rules. But stateside,
domestically, there's a lot of us armed. It was
a good program. It still exists. Now, if you
travel as a civilian... Because Joey's taken
his gun to Tennessee. He had to pack it in the
hold and had to go through a special security.
Do you have to do that? Well, when I was going
to and from work, like if I was flying, when
I was living in Detroit. No, now. Now, if you
were traveling and you wanted. If I was going
to work, like say I was, let's just pretend that
I was still with JetBlue and I was up. I live
in Florida, but I'm going to work in, say I'm
at JFK. Say that's my pilot base. I would have
to go from Florida to JFK to start my day, but
I'd have to take my weapon with me. So I would
check in for the flight. I would tell the gate
agent quietly, I'm an FFDO, I'm going to work.
And they'd say, okay, what seat are you in? And
they'd give me like an aisle seat or something.
But I would have, nobody would know except for
the captain and the crew. Like I would tell the
crew, because the crew has to know that I'm an
asset. So even though I'm sitting there, I'm
off duty. And do you take care of what you need
to take care of? Because I've got it. Because
if someone comes in, I don't need you because
I'm good. No, you asked me, would I carry my
weapon? Oh, if you were just traveling, yes.
So if I was just traveling, my weapon is on me.
I have my weapon in my possession, but it's secured.
I'm not deploying it. If there's an issue, excuse
me. Excuse me, I'm going to have to take that
off. You can reach for it, right, if there's
an issue. You can be like, boom. That'd be awful
to have to use a gun. Well, I mean, if I had
to, I could pull it out and deploy it. But the
point is they just need to know that that weapon
exists and that I'm in control of it. It doesn't
mean I'm wearing it or donning it. It doesn't
mean it's even handy. It just means that out
of respect for the crew, they know who I am and
that that's it. Beyond that, I really can't talk
about policies and procedures. Well, I'm going
to. I'm going to grill Tony because... Well,
anybody can look this up. It's called the FFDO.
I've never heard him say that there's a gun in
the flight deck. But it's optional. No, but he's
never mentioned it. It's never once come up.
He can be part of the program. It's called the
FFDO program. I'm going to have to ask him. FFDO,
Federal Flight Deck Officer. Well, next time
we talk, I'll have an update. Yeah, and again,
I don't talk too much about it. I think there
should be. I think flight deck crews should have
a gun. They should have a weapon up there. But,
I mean, you'd have to really circumspect how
you use that. I think they should. I mean, you're
martial arts trained. I mean, there's other ways
of restraining people before shooting them on
the plane, isn't there? Yeah, I mean, shooting
people would be the last resort. Absolutely.
Really, I view a weapon as just being complimentary.
Like, you should, as a fighter, be able to subdue
somebody without a weapon. Like, if I don't have
a weapon, I'm still going to subdue them. The
weapon is what's called standoff. So, like, right
now, you're about eight feet away from me. That's
a standoff. I don't want... Like, if you're an
aggressor... I want you to stay over there. Because
as long as you're there, you're not going to
hurt me. Yeah, and I can see what you're doing.
And I can see your hands. I can see what you're
doing. I can see the shift of your mass, your
momentum. I can see your intention. I can watch
your nonverbals. So we're good. We're good there.
But as you get closer, the way I fight changes.
Yes. Well, now you're going to come to the side,
aren't you? Yeah, I'm going to blade. She just
bladed. So anyway, the point is... That would
be awful. I think it was a couple of weeks ago,
there was this really big dude who was like six
foot seven and he gets up and he has to restrain
a passenger. And this was on the six o 'clock
NBC News and this has gone viral, this video.
And he just picked him up, put him down. And
then when I was flying at British Airways, we
had restraining straps and you literally put
them in a straitjacket and just, have you ever
done that? Have you ever insisted that someone's
been strapped to their seat? I saw it a couple
of times. I would say... And they needed it.
This fucker was out of control. I've had people,
you know, when you fly from New York City to
West Palm Beach multiple times a day, you're
going to get these sometimes not pleasant people.
Why? Palm Beach is nice. I think it's a matter
of entitlement. Like, they don't want to be told
what to do, especially if you're a girl. Don't
want authority. They don't want, they don't want
people for, you know, they, a lot of times they
think that I was the flight attendant and they
would misbehave towards me. I'm like, that's
so funny. It's like, that's such a bad idea because,
and they'd say, and then somebody would tap and
say, that's the captain. And then they become
polite. It's not funny. It's like so sad. I had
a lady in West Palm beach, like literally shove
their bag. And she just. Put this up there and
don't scratch it this time. Last time you scratched
it. And the flight attendant was almost like
so embarrassed. But did you think it was funny?
It's one of those classic cases of, do you know
who I am, isn't it? No, I didn't say that. No,
I'm not saying you said that, but it's a classic
case of that. It's like she's... I asked a passenger
once, that was when we smoked on the 747, which
I still can't believe that we did that, and he
didn't like the fact that I asked him, he stuck
a cigarette in my ice bucket. Just put it out,
hyper -aggressive. And then I told the captain
about it. I actually regret doing that, because
the captain... him had him arrested and i thought
on the ground and i thought that was way too
much but that was kind of aggressive you won't
do it again though you wouldn't do it again so
i've had people there were two instances well
there are multiple instances but i've had people
show up on my airplane oh first of all the lady
that shoved her luggage to me i i just said i'm
sorry your luggage was scratched and i put it
up and walked away that was yes a lot of grace
so But before I was even out of earshot, I could
still hear her. The flight attendant told the
lady, you just told the captain to put your bag
up. Now the lady was like, oh, I'm so sorry.
And then I looked at the lady and said, you shouldn't
even be talking to my flight attendant that way.
I said, there's no way to treat somebody. And
she stood down. Because she was embarrassed.
So just that experience probably changed her.
There was another time I landed at West Palm
Beach. Now, I'm the captain. I'm armed. Great
flight, uneventful. It was late. We probably
got in about 10 .30 at night. Everyone's getting
off the plane. I'm greeting them. Hey, nice landing,
Captain, all this stuff. Just normal stuff. Happy
people going to West Palm Beach. And about midway
through, as the passengers are disembarking,
This one guy says, hey, cabin, great flight,
except for that air marshal was an idiot. So
now I'm sitting there going, air marshal, I'm
the only person on board that's armed. If there
were air marshals on board, they were supposed
to report to me. Yeah, and you should have known.
So now I'm thinking, okay, who's the air marshal
on board? That I don't know about. That I don't
know about. So I said, wait, wait, wait, because
there was like two or three people saying that
air marshal was an idiot. And I'm like, wait
a minute, something's wrong with this. So I told
the first officer, I said, okay, you got the
flight deck. I got to find out what's going on
here. So we're on the ground, we're parked. There
was no emergency, but I had to find out. So this
one guy says, yeah, they had a marshal. I said,
who was the air marshal? Point to him. And he
pointed up, like up the jet bridge. I said, which
guy? Come identify the guy. And it was just some
guy, right? It looked athletic type of dude.
Right. So he was way up there and I was trying
to catch up with him. I said, come with me, come
with me. And I told the station manager was at
the gate. I said, send security. Oh, I said,
follow me. And I told the gate agent, I said,
send security, follow me. I'm going to baggage.
Right. So I didn't know if I was going to baggage,
but I said, just follow me. By the time he got
to baggage, I was right behind him. And we had
six people there. We had the plainclothes. So
who was this dude? We had the plainclothes FBI
guy. We had the plainclothes TSA guy. And we
had two TSA guys. And this happened in five minutes.
Oh, I love it. I mean, that's very dramatic.
So the question is, who is this guy? Yeah. Who
was this guy? Yeah, was he just some regular
guy claiming to be something as a joke? Well,
evidently he flashed his badge. And he was an
air marshal? No. What was he? He was some podunk.
Country boy, off -duty. So he flashed his badge
and then played the role as an air marshal. Off
-duty sheriff. Oh, he wasn't. Right? Okay, so
watch what happens here. He was so busted. I
also feel sorry for the guy. So now we have two
witnesses who heard him say everything. We have
a ring of people around him. It's not even, this
poor guy, but you don't get to do that. No, you
don't. He just thought he was having fun. He
can get away. He was a bit of a dick, right?
And all of a sudden, you have now, five minutes
later, there's serious consequences for you doing
that. Yeah, so what happened was this, and just
to play it through, he's looking at me because
he doesn't know who I am. I said, I was the captain
on your airplane. I have the only weapon on board.
And you said you're an FFDO. Is that true? Oh,
I never said that. And two people said, yeah,
you did. We got it. We have a bunch of people
heard you say that. And I said, did you not say
you were an FFDO? He says, yeah, but I'm not.
And he starts. And as soon as he said that, I
said, I looked at the TSA plane close guy and
I said, did you hear what he just said? And then
I said, y 'all have everything you've, I told
the, I told the FBI guy, I said, you've got this.
I'm on my plane. If you need me, I need to buy
the airplane. Yeah. here's the witnesses, this
is the guy. And then I heard the guy, as I was
leaving, it's like, show me your ID. And he explained,
that's where I heard he was an off -duty sheriff.
So I don't know what happened. What do you think
happened to him? Well, I don't know. I don't
know. It was an incident. Do you think whoever
was in charge, whoever had the final decisions,
just gave him, you know, ripped him a new one
and said, OK, don't ever do that again? Or was
he taken away and in custody? Impersonating an
air marshal must be quite a high... That must
be a big deal. And that's what I told him in
front of the whole ring of people. I wonder whether
someone just said, you know, you really never
need to be doing that again. Look how bad this
got for you. And that would have changed his
life. He could have lost his career. Yeah. He
literally could have been thrown in jail for
that. Yeah, that could have gone really, really
badly. That's a federal offense, impersonating
an air marshal. So I can't tell you why I knew
he was fake. I can't tell you. I'll tell you
off the mic. But there was one thing that was
said that would never be said, but it was said,
and I knew immediately he was not an air marshal.
Yeah. Not even meeting him, but just from what
the people said. Yeah. And what was your intention?
I mean, why did you immobilize everyone and come
so down on him? So what was going on with you?
Well, first of all, I didn't know who he was.
Right. And this is now a breach of security.
Look, first of all, if he's claiming to be an
air marshal, he breached a protocol because he
was supposed to report in and tell me that he
had a weapon. Yeah, and you should have known
he was on board. I should have known he was on
board. That's a breach of protocol. He needed
to report to me and he didn't. So right off the
shoot, I need to know who this guy is. So right
out the gate, you must have known he wasn't then
because he would have reported to you. I mean,
you must have suspected this guy's a clown. Well,
I'll tell you off the air why I knew. And when
I tell you, you're going to laugh, just like
you're laughing now. But it's absolutely simple.
It's very brilliant. And as soon as you know
the answer, you'll say, that makes all the sense
in the world. Why I knew. He was not. I'm sorry
to everyone listening. I'm not trying to be cryptic.
Okay, well, let's just go back to what your intention
was. I'm not allowed to tell. You knew that he
wasn't an air marshal for whatever reason, but
you still decided I'm coming for you and I'm
going to immobilize everyone and I'm going to
have you standing in front of me and you're going
to admit that you've been lying, which is basically
what it got down to. And your intention was to
do what? That you'll never do this again? You
haven't reported to me. You're lying. I mean,
that's... Well, no, my thinking was different
because I was not looking for retribution. There
was what I would consider foul play on my airplane.
This is not about what's going into the future.
This is about saying there was foul play here.
If this person's going to misbehave on my airplane,
he's going to do it again. So the guy that reported
him and say, oh, nice flight, Captain, but that
Air Marshal sure is a jerk. If he hadn't have
said that, that guy would have got away with
it. Well, I mean, there was like three people
in a row that said... What had he been doing
to them, do you know? Well, some woman was like,
it's West Palm Beach. There's going to be people
who's like, I can't believe you don't have real
lemon. What's this powdered lemon in my... Oh,
so little divas. Just these little things that
piss people off. And when you're in close proximity
to other idiots, I said idiots twice. I said
idiots twice in a row on this podcast. I never
used the word idiot. Forgive me, Father. When
these people are misbehaving and they're in close
proximity to each other, they're going to tee
off. Yeah. So this woman was being a jerk. He's
being a jerk and he turns around and he's reading
this lady, the riot act. Yeah, he's now pretending.
And she's being an idiot back. So that's evidently
what happened. It escalated. So he really took
it to the limit and pretended to be an air marshal.
That is so hilarious. I don't think he'd ever
do that again. Well, I don't know. He would have
learned his lesson. We don't know. He might have
lost his career. Or someone said to him, listen,
you clown, don't ever do that again. And they
let him off the hook. Yeah, but, you know, just
because you have a badge doesn't mean you get
to. Be on my airplane and be stupid. Well, mimic
someone, yeah. Or pretend you're to be somebody
you're not. They picked the wrong girl that day.
It's not the right thing to do, right? But there's
been other times flying where, like taking off
out of, I think it was in Newark, coming south,
and there was a person that was belligerent getting
on the airplane, belligerent while everyone was
getting seated, belligerent towards my flight
attendants. And the flight attendant, number
two, pinged me, said that there's a person being
an idiot. There's three times I said idiot on
the scene. I can't believe it. But it's true.
There's something about people flying airplanes.
They lose track of the beautiful thing that I'm
going to be six miles high. But aren't they also
breathing in like 12 ,000 feet? I mean, the oxygen
is not very good on a plane, is it? What's it
pressurized at? What's a normal flight pressurized
at? It's like being up a fucking mountain. You're
drinking alcohol. You don't like being on a plane.
You're in a metal tube and it's an intense environment.
Yeah, it just depends on your altitude. It's
a differential pressure. between what's inside.
So if it's 39 ,000 feet, it's a cruising altitude.
Your cabin's going to be pressurized at what?
About 8 ,000 feet. So that's pretty high. That's
like, you know, we were talking about being on
a high altitude in Colorado. That's a lot. You
don't have much oxygen. So you might not be reacting
in the way that you need to. Yeah, so if you
have one drink, if you have a person that's being
belligerent, say they've had two drinks in the
terminal and you're going to 39 ,000 feet, those
two drinks are going to be the same as four drinks.
When you're at 8 ,000 feet? Yeah. When the cabin
pressure's at 8 ,000 feet, or 7 ,000 or 8 ,000
feet. It depends on the PSID of the pressure
differential of the airplane. When I was a flight
attendant, we were in zones, and it was my first
year. And at British Airways, you didn't buy
any alcohol. It came in little bottles, and it
came in little cans, and you just gave it away.
It was all part of the ticket. And I'd get my
passengers absolutely sloshed, because then they
would sleep for the rest of the day. You built.
You're feeding the dragon. Not the dragon. You're
feeding the demon. I was only 21, though. So
I had this guy out of Newark. And right before
we even pushed off the gate, this guy was being,
he was misbehaving. I didn't say it a fourth
time. He was misbehaving. So I literally walked
back to him. He was about midway down the cabin.
I looked at him dead in the eye and said, I'm
the captain. You're misbehaving. I literally
said that. You're misbehaving. You're not following
instructions. You can either take this flight
and behave yourself or you can get off this plane
and take the next flight. But if we get airborne...
It's nice that you gave them a choice. I said,
if we get airborne and I have any reports of
you behaving like you're behaving, I will have
security ready to meet you. And you'll be arrested.
And I said, I'm happy either way. I'm happy.
It's going to be a great flight. And did you
speak very calmly just like you are now? Oh,
I always speak calmly. So what did he say then?
He said, Captain, we're good. We're good. Oh,
good. We're good. That's good. I don't know what
his deal is, but you're not going to, I told
him, you're not going to misbehave. You're not
going to talk to my flight attendant that way.
I'm just, it's not going to happen. So you were
like this captain that had this guy arrested
when he put his cigarette out my ice bucket because
we had to all sit there, no passengers left off.
This was in South Africa and they all came or
he had to be walked up and they came and arrested
him. And it was awful because he stared at me
and I think he thought that I was the one that
did it. And I kind of regretted telling him,
the captain was a friend of mine, I kind of regretted
telling him because I just thought that was...
I mean, it's pretty egregious that you're going
to stick your cig in the ice bucket, right? That's
not good. But other than that, he'd been fine.
But the captain was like, fuck that. No, you're
not doing that. When I was briefing, when I was
doing my crew brief, because every time you have
a new crew member or a new crew, you do a new
crew briefing. It's just part of the protocol.
And so when I had new flight attendants, I would
brief them that I am your advocate. If somebody
is treating you, if they're mistreating you or
something's not right with you. I will help you,
but you have to do everything that you can do
first. I don't want to know if somebody spilled
something on your skirt. I don't care. That's
what you get paid to do. But if there's something
where they're misbehaving and it's beyond what
you can handle, I want to know about it. And
they appreciated that. So many flight attendants
say thank you. Yeah, I don't remember any captains
ever coming to say that. I mean, it was implicit,
I think. I think you knew they'd have your back.
Maybe with British air, but in America, there's
a lot of captains who say, you know, sucks to
be you, that's your job, just deal with it. And
sadly, there's a lot of captains that way. I'm
not that way. Even in the military when I was
flying. So your flight attendants must have liked
flying with you. Oh, they loved it. They always,
they could find like what schedule I'm on and
they always, a lot of crews like flying with
me because number one. You're funny and fair.
Well, plus they like flying with FFDOs is big.
Like knowing that this plane is safe. That's
a really big deal, right? Yeah. So. So the other
cool thing that happened at this meeting, the
Thursday night, it was on the lake. When the
girl got the fish hook in her neck. So, yeah.
So after the fish hook in the neck, God, we never
know what we're going to talk about. No, we don't.
But good for you, though. I'm glad that you ran
around there and did that and found out because
we need people to do that. So I go back there
and they're all buttoning up and they're putting
away their whiteboard. And everyone's just visiting.
It was a really beautiful night. It was almost
like. what you would vision you know dancing
in the moonlight right and it wasn't too hot
no it was so beautiful it was tropical there
was no mosquitoes it was just there was a little
light clouds beautiful lit from the moon it was
just so beautiful and it was just a bunch of
cool people talking about permaculture just hanging
out so we made friends with this one couple it
turns out he's a former pilot from orlando but
his private pilot he flew the same airplane actually
it's a newer version of the same airplane i flew
when i was a czech airman oh for corporate i
flew corporate airplanes and he flew the same
airplane so we're instantly talking the same
language thing is it was a part 91 which means
um Part 91 is where you're flying for a private
family. Yes, and part 21 is commercial. Part
121 is commercial. Part 135 means you're like
at the Uber, like you're flying for hire. Well,
this is part 91. And I said, oh my goodness,
you were flying this airplane and we're talking.
And I said, so how's it going for you? He says,
well, I had a heart attack last year and I can't
fly now because I'm on the meds. I'm like. How
old was he? Do you want to fly? Like, he's just
a few years older than me. He's probably 67.
Okay. So to me, that's not old. But when are
they grounded? When are pilots grounded? You
can go on forever, can you? Part 91, you can
go. 91, okay. Part 91, you can go. I don't know
what the rules are. So what did he say when you
asked him that? Was he overweight? No, he was
in good condition. Wow. Yeah, so I didn't ask
him. I didn't interview him. But I always put
the offer out there. If you want to get your
license back, I'll help you. And he's like, well,
who are you? And I told him who I was. I'm a
holistic doctor that's also got seven type ratings,
and I know how to do this stuff. And I know how
the body works. I know how your body works. And
I said, if you're interested in getting your
Part 91 gig back, let me know. And he says, well,
that's a season that's passed and all this. And
I'm like. Who's flying the airplane? He says,
well, I don't know. I think they're still looking
for a pilot. I'm like. I said, ask them if they
want a former Czech airman in this airplane.
So you'd go in and do that again? If the money
is right. Yeah, I guess so. But how many take
-off and landings would you have? You'd have
to get retrained, wouldn't you? Girl, I could
fly that plane in my sleep. Oh, I'm not saying
you couldn't, but for part 191, you can just
get in and get airborne? Part 91? No, you still
have to fulfill the insurance requirements. Yeah,
but you'd have to do your medical, and then you'd
have to do a couple of take -offs and landings,
and then you'd do it? Yeah, if I wanted to do
that. I would have to pass a medical. Yeah. So
I'd go get my medical. Then I would get retrained
in that airframe, which would be super easy to
do because I used to teach it. Yes, I'd just
be muscle man. I just got to get the – but then
– You sound kind of excited. Would you like –
do you miss flying? Oh, I totally do. Because
my husband doesn't fly anymore, and he misses
the takeoff and land. He doesn't miss all the
bullshit, but the takeoff and land, it's like
a video game for you. Well, he asked me, he says,
well, why don't you go back to JetBlue and fly?
And I said, well, I have personal reasons for
that. But one of the reasons is that as pilots,
we love to fly airplanes. But flying for a corporation,
especially a big corporation like an airline,
literally sucks the joy out of flying. It's not
the same experience. Well, just because the endless
procedures. Because it's a job. It's a career.
It's a job. And even with JetBlue. They would
fly the airplane. They would have these protocols
and these processes and stuff that even the manufacturer,
like Airbus, Airbus would have these procedures,
which they're the manufacturer of the airplane.
So here's the procedures. And JetBlue would buy
us. They would say, well, yeah, we recognize
that's what the manufacturer says is the best
way to fly the airplane, but we're going to change
this and this and this because somebody's smarter
than the manufacturer. I don't know. But to me,
those are stupid things. So for me, flying, just
like anything. But if you had your own plane
out there, you would just enjoy it and you'd
do it a lot. Totally. And that's what a Part
91 gig would be. Because I told Robin after that,
I'm like, you know. We need a really good aircraft
simulator up here in the studio. I can't do simulators.
No. There's nothing realistic. No. If it was
like a virtual reality, it's not a simulator.
No. No, it's nothing like being up there and
knowing that you could die at any moment if you
fuck up. If you're going to flame, you know,
set my engine on fire, I'll take the simulator.
All right? If you're going to give me wins here,
I'll take the simulator. Okay? If you're going
to give me cross wins out of limits or something,
I'll take the simulator. But to answer your question,
the Part 91 gig, if it's with the correct family,
could be wonderful. Could be. Because the way
it works is... Like, let's just pretend that...
Well, you just show up at a private airport.
You meet them. There's none of all that paperwork,
passengers bullshit they get on. They might be
indifferent about you. And you just land. Basically,
you're a favorite Uber driver. Yes, that's it.
But your Uber does 0 .85 Mach. Yeah. And then
you park the Uber on the tarmac. You don't have
to deal with anyone. You park it. You give the
FBO, which is the fixed base operator, you give
them the keys to the airplane. I'll see you tomorrow.
And they're going to have it cleaned and loaded
and everything. You show up an hour prior, you
put out the ice cubes, you do all your stuff.
Family shows up, you take them off. But in the
meantime... Does it pay well? They're all different.
If you find the correct part 91 gig and the family
loves you, you're like a family member to them.
Yes, I could see that being like that. I remember
flying to Bermuda once. At the time, I was a
first officer, but no, I was the co -captain
because I had just upgraded. But on this flight,
I wasn't the captain in charge. I was the co
-captain. So we ended up, we were supposed to
go to Bermuda. No, no, it wasn't Bermuda. It
was, there's a place in the Bahamas. I forget
the name of it, but it's like this huge open
aquarium. And it's like the Atlantis or whatever.
It's just like this huge, I forget what it's
called. Atlantis is in the Bahamas. Is there
a place called Atlantis? Oh, yes. It's a huge
hotel. Yeah, yeah, that's it. Yeah, massive hotel.
Yeah, so that was it. It's a big aquarium when
you walk in. Yeah, yeah. And they had like little
sharks in there and stuff. Oh, yeah. But I've
been there, so it's been 25 years since I've
been there. It was just pretty new when I went,
but... Yeah, I remember taking it back 20 years
ago. I took the kids there. It was probably 20
years ago. So there was this couple, the two
ladies are a couple and they're freaking rich
and they're... And so... The two of us flew the
two of them there. And we're only supposed to
be there for a couple of days. And then I was
supposed to go back. Actually, Robin had an interview
back in the day. She had an interview, so I was
supposed to be back. And we ended up staying
two more days because they wanted to stay two
more days. And they could pay us. So we literally
sat there. Had a vacation. And it was a paid
-for vacation. The airplane was parked. They
were paying for a parked airplane. and it was
not cheap it was like whatever five or seven
thousand dollars a day just to park the airplane
so we'd be and then the two pilots would be there
when they're ready to go so it's like literally
like an uber but if you have the correct air
like the correct situation like if i had a family
that sounds like the plum job oh yeah because
i told robin if i could fly like five days a
month yeah Just five days a month, especially
if they're going to Costa Rica, staying at a
five -star place, or they're going to some...
Because most of those people, they don't stay
at the Motel 6, right? Yes. And they end up putting
the air crew up wherever they are. Yes. So if
they're staying at this... this exquisite location.
Well, it wouldn't be like work. It would be like
a vacation. That's the point. And you're a pilot,
a trained pilot, a massive amount of hours. I
mean, it would just be, it wouldn't be a job.
That's my point. So if you have the right thing.
So pursue it. So see if this guy's contact that
you met at Lake David, you never know. Well,
I told Rob and I said, the prime thing would
be this. If this guy can't be the pilot in command
because of his medical, but I can get him a medical
license so he can be my first officer. I could
literally go in there. This guy knows the job
already. He and I could fly. Fly the family.
They love him already. I'm a placeholder. I'm
the captain. I'm in charge. But this guy knows
everything. We just go fly, have fun. i think
that's gone a few days just come back that's
great this way so what happened on the lake that
night there's a possible reality yeah i mean
the best airplane you can fly is somebody else
somebody else is in there paying the gas yeah
i mean that's the best airplane is somebody else's
airplane if they're paying for it so but uh anyway
god we talked all about flying today but Flying
and fighting. What else is there? Flying and
fighting. What's another F? I'm not going to
say it. Flying and fighting. That's it for me.
Food. Food. There's no ING on it, though. Fooding.
Okay, there's that. So anyway. Well, this has
been lovely. We didn't even touch the stuff.
No, but that's okay. I'll get into it next week.
I've got a couple of updates, and so we'll keep
working on that. But that's my catechism that
you're talking about. Okay, well, for those people
who missed last week, just in a nutshell, what
is the catechism? So the catechism is a series
of questions and answers about the nature of
reality, and I want it to be airtight, that if
someone were to read this, they would have no
questions about who they are, who God is, what
God requires. and where you're going. So it has
to be an airtight system. So that's what I've
been busy writing. I was doing that at 3 o 'clock
this morning. So that's what I'm going to be
reading out. I woke up at 3 .13 this morning.
Did you go outside? Oh, no, no, no, no. 3 .13
in the morning is prime time for me because I
get my water, I use the restroom. I don't put
many lights on. I fluff my pillow. I might listen
to something but keep my eyes closed. Yes, I
do that. Because that's prime time for lucidity
for me. I love my lucidity. So it's good waking
up at three in the morning. Well, I don't fight
it. I went out and sat under the stars and it
was so peaceful. There was no traffic. It was
absolutely lovely. It was clear. Not too much
light pollution. The neighbor had this big light.
I want to shoot it. I want to get one of Tony's
guns and just shoot it because it ruins the stars
at night. It's too bright. I'm not really going
to shoot my neighbor's spotlight. If it's ever
shot out, they're coming after you. I'm going
to shoot it out and they're going to come after
you. That would be fun. never tell well it was
like did you ask your did you ask your neighbor
nicely to not put the no i'm not because i don't
go out there much at three in the morning which
i just felt because it was just because like
the stars were amazing that doesn't offend me
that much it's not a big deal so no i'm just
being silly but it was beautiful at three in
the morning and then i came back in i lowered
the ac fluff my pillow and then i just started
listening to i think it was beethoven and then
just went off to sleep again so see that i call
that second sleep and my second sleeps My goodness,
I woke up this morning because I heard something
in the kitchen. I was like, what? My second sleep
was so deep. Because my first sleep was good.
It was probably from 10 to 3. That's five hours.
That's good first sleep. And that's enough to
biologically, physiologically rejuvenate yourself.
So now you're in a position where you're not
sleeping because of a physiological need. You're
in a predisposition for really astral projection,
lucid dreaming. Those are all in play when you're
physically rested, but you're still mentally.
So what you want to do is wake up a little bit,
but not much. Yes. And oh my goodness. Bouncing
to the surface. It's so fun when you do that.
And I just fell right back into it. And you can
kind of guide where you're going because you
just say, okay, I'm safe. I'm secure. I'm happy.
I'm all these things. Now what do I do? It's
the theme park. Take me on an adventure. Where
am I going? What am I doing? You're setting the
intention. So it's pretty fun. I'll do that.
I'll try that again. We talked about that in
one of the episodes. Setting an intention before
getting into a dream. For me to fall back to
sleep, I have a pathway. And it's beautiful.
There's trees, cherry blossoms. It's absolutely
lovely. And I hold that focus. And within about
10 seconds, I can actually start seeing the dream
state open up with that. It's gone from... just
being in my imagination to this becoming alive
like a dream. And that's happened a few times.
It's always the same scenario. There was this
young kid, he's probably 35 years old or something,
probably half my age, but he did the best synopsis
I've ever heard of astral projection, explaining
how to get into it. what to do, what not to do.
Yeah, Robert Monroe did that. It was beautiful.
And I commented that it was pure gold the way
he did it because... Could you imagine having
that superpower? It took me 10 years to figure
it out. I was like, come on. This kid just explained
it. He did a great job. And I was just like,
wow. I wish I would have known this when I was
30 years old, 35 years old. I mean, I can't look
backwards, but I'm glad I know it now because
I still have... Yeah. Hundreds of years ahead
of me. You've got eternity, baby. I've got hundreds
of years. You've got eternity. You've got to
do something to fill in the time. So what are
you doing the rest? Do you have any good plans
for the weekend? Yes. Tony's back tonight. Okay.
And we'll take the jet skis out because now it's
cooling down. I like to do that. You don't need
stairs. You have jet skis. I know. It's great.
That's a great quad. So you've got to come and
do that. Marina, when do you want to do it? You
know what? I really need to. Well, then just
say yes to it. Well, I will say yes to it. Press
enter. You just tell me when. Press enter. You
just tell me. we'll do it okay yeah um i'd love
to do it with robin or do it with you it's fine
um i think about it there's no no no i totally
want to do it right now i've got i just picked
up some more web three projects and i won't go
into it but i'm so excited about these projects
because We're moving. There was my stomach growling.
It was on the mic. Yeah, I had this banana. When
we're doing the podcast, I don't eat until after
the podcast. No, that's why I had this banana.
Yeah, so I've got this project in, and these
are built on Web 3 .0. Most of our lives, the
Internet has been controlled by corporations,
by these monster corporations, Meta, all these
monster groups and corporations. But the Web
3, if we do this correctly, will bring it back
to we the people. Each one of us owns this infrastructure
instead of the central governments or the education
universities, the military. It's about us owning
it. Is this platform published 100 % or you've
still got a little work to do to get to this?
Oh, we're just starting. So that's why you can't
come out on the jet ski. You've got time. Well,
I have time for everything that's important.
And right now, the Web3 stuff is super important
to me. We're in a place in the world where if
we don't do this correctly, we could all be enslaved
very quickly. And the enslavement is not temporary.
It's going to be hard to break free. Let's talk
about this more on the next podcast. Let's go
into this. I'm not saying no to jet skiing. I
love jet skiing. And it's nothing personal. I
love you too. I'm in a place where I just have
too many projects. That's fair enough. Cool.
Well, thank you for coming. Yes, you have a lovely
weekend. Okay, yeah, say hey to Tony for me.
I definitely will. Say hi to Rob. All right,
