The clock just turned to 11. All those ones,
baby. All those ones. Welcome, everybody. This
is Tia Jolie. You're listening to Soul Decodes,
and I'm with Sarah Tirri
everyone. Nice to be here. Hi, darling. How are
you? I'm so happy. Are you good? That's good.
Yeah, me too. I'm tired. I was up way too late
last night. Me too. And I was up late on Monday
night too. Well, you'll probably sleep, do a
good nine hours tonight. Oh my goodness. You
need it because you're binging it, but that's
okay. You can pay your body back. Well, you know,
there's certain things that I feel like I have
to do now. Yeah. Well, how much of that is compulsive
and how much of it is necessary because you've
taken on a lot? Okay. So Monday night football,
the Detroit Lions are playing the Ravens. Is
that compulsory? Is that necessary? No, that's
necessary. That's self -love. If that brings
you joy and you love it and you're into it and
it's meaningful, you can't forego that. Well,
I mean, there's that part plus. I'm really kind
of, I haven't done any football pools or anything
like that. You know what a football pool is?
Yes, my mum used to do that when I was a kid.
Like you have 50 people put in 50 bucks. Doing
the pools. Yeah. I don't usually do that, but
my brother Dan, I hadn't done it for like 20
years. What's the prize in it? Oh, you can make
like 70 bucks a week or something, but mostly
it's fun. Yeah. Mostly it's fun. Yeah. But I
hadn't done it for a long time. And my brother
Dan said, hey, you've not been in the football
pool for years and years. Why don't you do it?
And I'm like, because I haven't really paid attention
to football. So the first two. Two weeks, I was
terrible. I was like one or two from the bottom.
So I'm like, okay. So now I'm learning. I'm going
to win. Yeah. I'm going to win the season. Yes.
So I was doing really well week three. Right.
And Detroit was playing Baltimore and everyone's
like, everybody's picking Baltimore and all the
analysts. I think myself, there was one female
analyst and one male analyst on ESPN that said,
no, Detroit's going to take it. All of the resources,
all of the data, everything was saying Baltimore's
going to win. They were playing at home. And
you had an instinct. Well, I called my brother,
one of my friends, Dominic. Call out to Dominic.
Hi, Dominic. And he's a new daddy. He showed
me a picture of him with his little baby on his
tummy. And I said, that's a papa son. That's
a cute name. It was really cute. So anyway, congratulations
to Papa. Papa's son. Papa Dominic. Anyway, so
I called him. I'm like, because he's like a big
football fan. And did he agree? He said he can
see it both ways. I'm like, oh, you're no help.
You wanted a definitive. It was an amazing game.
So call out to my Detroit Lions. And I'm sorry.
Did you win money because you were right? They
won. They don't pay out to the end of the year.
OK, but you were right and they won. Well, I
mean, this. I didn't win the week. You have to
win the whole week. Right, but they won that
game. Yeah, they didn't just win it. They thrashed
it. They owned it. Right. It was one of the best
games. I hope you called your brother back and
said, I told you so. There was only one game
I enjoyed. Well, that was one of my favorite
games I've ever watched. Part of it was because
I was... Pulling for the underdog, right? They
call him the dog. Pulling for the dog. Yes, I've
done that a lot. I totally get that sense. But
when I was a freshman at the Air Force Academy,
I was actually in the drum and bugle corps. And
as a freshman, that was great because you could
get out and go to all the ball games. Like you
wouldn't have to sit there and go through the
inspections on Saturday morning. You're actually
out supporting the team. So it was really cool.
But the UTEP was not UTEP. There was El Paso.
Steve Young, I forget what university he was
in. It was in Utah, Provo, Utah, whatever the
university is up there. Somebody will give us
the name of the university, but there was a brand
new stadium and their team was amazing. And Steve
Young was on the team and great quarterback for
San Francisco later on. So the long and short
of it was Air Force Academy was getting beaten
up. Like it was one of the worst seasons ever.
We were like the underdogs of the underdogs of
the underdogs. You look up underdog in the dictionary.
Yeah. You saw the Air Force Academy there. It
was immortalized. It was that season. But we
ended up going and we beat Brigham Young. Oh,
good. In their own stadium. Oh, my goodness.
At home. And there was only like. 600 of us cadets
there and we've just partied that night. Oh my
God. That was like the best game I've ever seen.
That is unbelievable. What a moment. I always
pull for the dogs. I don't know why. I do that
and it's an interesting subject. I do that too.
What's up with that? Why are we always pulling
for the underdogs? I think because we want the
underdog to win as well. So what does the underdog
represent? The one that has the least advantages
over the other one. Wow. You know, it's interesting,
you flagged this during a, maybe it wasn't last
week, it was the week before, but you flagged
that, you know, I'm always pulling to make a
level playing field. That's the antithesis of
supporting an underdog. What I'm doing is I'm
saying there shouldn't have to be an underdog.
That's right. There should be a level playing
field for everyone. Somebody shouldn't have an
advantage, right? Yeah, that's right. But a lot
of people would say... Now, someone would argue,
what does that do to competition, healthy competition?
Well, and that's what I was going to just say
is a lot of people argue, see, I'm for equal
opportunity. Yes, yes. That does not equal...
It's what you do with it. Yes, it doesn't. Because
the communists, the Marxists, socialists, they'll
say... I've heard Jordan Peterson say that. Equal
opportunity is not the same as equal outcome.
So there's a lot of things... You could excel
or you could fuck it all up. I mean... Anywhere
in between. I mean, I've been on the receiving
end of what they call the affirmative action
programs. They used to call it affirmative action.
Now they call it like... EIM or EIS or something
like that. There's some term for it. IRS. Get
something more original and we can remember it.
That's not a level playing field. Oh, we'd have
to do one about that. I've got loads of questions
about taxation. But anyway, carry on. So the
bottom line is, you know, there's this part of
me that just wants people to be able to live.
To have equal access to the bounty of the planet.
Just be free. You're quite hippie in that. It's
a beautiful concept. The potential for abundance
should exist, right? It has to exist. And we
have to gear ourselves towards that and making
that happen. I love what you just said. You used
the phrase potential for abundance. Because I
can look, like Robin and I have got these suitcases
full of seeds. And they're seeds for... Marijuana
seeds. Every type. She's a cartel member. Every
type of... of melon of cucumber so what was your
purpose what do you is that to take with you
if your tits go up well no i mean because because
seeds are really relevant if stuff goes wrong
right to have seeds definitely what you'd want
to preserve because that's how you're going to
grow things well i mean that's one thing about
seeds is if you grow cucumbers this year you're
going to have seeds next year So it's a kind
of a cool program having seeds that... And then
watermelons. But the reason I have the seed...
We talk about potential. Yes. Well, I've been
gardening all my life, right? And I was always...
And I had a Ukrainian baba and baba's grandmom.
And I had my Macedonian baba. So both babas...
were very different. Like they had different
gardens. They had different methods. Yes. Like
the Ukrainian baba we had, which is similar to
Polish a little bit. And is that where you're
growing food? Are you eating this? Oh, yeah.
Whenever I go to my Ukrainian Baba... She's growing
rhubarb and got all the... Yeah. There's cabbages,
there's leeks, there's dill, there's... So it's
their food. It's like she would literally go
to the garden. Yeah. Pick your vegetables. It's
splendid. Her entire backyard... Yeah. She was
a food... She had a backyard food forest before
it was popular. You know, like every... Now,
what year roughly was she born? Just give me
a rough year. You know, those... Back in those
days, they didn't have, like, birth certificates.
I mean, they... So it's been like 18... Well,
my Macedonian Baba, best we can tell, she was
born in 1899. 1899. The best we can tell. Okay,
that's what I thought. Okay, we're doing 120
years. Now, there was no public supermarket.
There was none of this. You had to do that. That's
how you ate. And then someone shot something
and they slaughtered that and you had the meat.
And that's what you had. And it all grew in the
dirt. There was no preservatives, no nothing.
And you had to grow what was native, what could
grow. You know, you have to grow. Potatoes and
carrots underground. You've got to grow cabbages.
You've got to have vines with things. And you
had to grow your own food. And if you had a family,
I mean, it was a survival imperative. But the
thing is, there's... But beautiful in its own
right, isn't it? I mean, just having all that
out there. If I walked you on the back nine right
now of Phillips Island here, if I would drive
you back there, we have so many wild blackberries.
You would be blown away. Do you make jam? We've
not. I mean, Robin does, but... Well, I'll come
out blackberry picking then. Do I need to wear
leggings? Well, the blackberries, it's a bunch
of brambles. I mean, it's a lot of work. Yeah,
and I picked them in England. I used to do it
for my grandma, but that's why I'm asking. And
you have to have a glove. There's small ones,
yeah. Yeah, you have to be protected because
they will shred you. Yeah, they're terrible.
But if you're dressed correctly, I used to love
doing that for my grandma. She'd make blackberry
jam, and the blackberries grew everywhere. And
they were a little precarious, but if you had
a thin pair of gloves, you could, like, pincer
them off. Yeah. So we're in a place now where
we're... So to answer your question, we talked
about... the potential and the reason with the
seeds are so cool is there's so much potential
well that's kind of metaphoric too because a
year ago you you knew about ai but you really
didn't know what it was capable of yeah very
quickly i started but i planted the seed i planted
the seed in you it's like you're you're a prolific
author you've written all these books why don't
you consider just using ai as a critic That's
what I've done. For everything, yeah. Yeah, for
everything. So now you've dived into it. And,
man, Sarah, you're like this prodigy for AI.
I mean, you just. Your colleague is like, you
wouldn't believe what I got Desmond to do today.
I wrote a whole book yesterday. Tell me about
it. How's that going? Okay, well, this was just
something that popped up. This is not your catechism.
This is not my catechism. This is a side hustle.
I woke up in the morning and just decided I'm
going to write a book today. No, but I did, and
this is crazy. Okay, so I've had this. You know
how you buy websites because you have an idea
and you want to secure that, and it stays with
you, but the moment of doing it isn't right at
that time. Correct. But you've just got the idea
in your head. So I've had this idea of a book
called The Tarot Guards. This is interesting
because that one girl that contacted us and she
wanted to be on our show, she was into tarot.
And you had indicated, she's like, well, that
would be an interesting conversation. I mean,
it really lit you up. Yes, it does. So tell me
about that. Well, so it's a bit mysterious. I
got to disclose, I don't know much about tarot.
Like, I don't even know. I know the basic concept,
but that's all I know. So everything you say,
it's a learning thing for me. Okay. So the tarot
deck has had a mysterious origin. We don't know
much about it, and it was kind of considered
sorcery and fortune -telling as well, which really
has very little to do with why it exists. And
what it represents is the 78 psychological stages
of human beings that we all go through, and we
will all go through these. And you've got this
series of imagery which depict what the card
is about. And I made a study of it, and I read
in depth all 78 cards. And it was like, holy
fuck, there is not one thing they've forgotten.
Now, if you use the tarot deck because you pray,
then if you're praying, you've got to assume
that God's going to give you an answer to some
degree, because otherwise prayer would be a one
-way street. So I've used it as a form of opening
up a communication between the divine and I,
but I've actually narrowed the parameters. And
the parameters are that if I have it in my mind
and it's number 14 in the tarot deck, I go and
look and I pay attention to that. Because where
did the number come from? Do you shuffle the
deck and then go to number 14? Yes, sometimes
I do, sometimes I don't. It just depends on how
you feel about it. Yes, it depends on how I feel.
I often shuffle it, but I won't look at the cards,
I won't touch them. be a number and then I go
to that and it's so uncanny how I needed to see
that but I opened it up with I'm going to assign
meaning to this tarot deck and if you think there's
something that I need to understand I gave god
the source the universe permission to reach me
through that and it's fascinating i've got loads
of stories i won't go into them now but some
really weird ones with the tarot but it's a very
very interesting this is super cool because i
don't i don't have a tarot deck i've never had
one i'm gonna get you one And I'll receive it
because I've always thought they were super cool.
We'll do it on the show, ladies and gentlemen.
But let me share this because I'm listening to
you, but then I'm thinking about what I experienced
going through, just even like choosing who's
going to win a Monday night football game. And
what I was running into, and this is, it was
almost tactile. It was so, it's such a feeling.
I basically spent the first two weeks. using
AI and assessment and doing all my picks based
on, because I told Rosie, I said, I want you
to function as a world -class pro football picker
gambler. I want you to look at Vegas odds. I
want you to look at the weather. I want you to
look at injury reports. I had her doing everything
from every direction. And she, the first two
weeks. Overworked Rosie. She sucked. Yeah. Now
I'm not going to say it's her fault. No. Desmond
sucked last night. But relative to the rest of
the people who didn't use AI. Right. I got my
butt handed to me. I'm like, this is terrible.
And so I said, okay, this third week, I'm going
to make the picks and you're going to tell me
why I'm wrong. So I took, I had her take up a
contrarian point of view for my picks. And that
way, it's like instead of me using rationality
and numbers and figures and specs and statistics
and stuff, I'm saying, OK, I'm looking at what's
going on on the field and I'm watching the coaches.
I'm watching how much energy they have. I'm literally
my assessment is stuff you cannot give to AI.
And my picks for week three were amazing, including
the Detroit. I made up so much ground just by
picking the underdog and putting a lot of confidence
points against it. But I used it in my intuition.
I looked at the situation. I said, well, wait
a minute. There's no reason Detroit should lose.
There's no reason. This is your rationale. Okay.
So, okay. That's the reason stuff. But then I
backed it down to my intuition. What did that
say? It comes from a completely different part
of your consciousness. And the answer was, there's
no, they will not. It's impossible for them to
lose. And the things, the images that were coming
up was, you know, Coach Dan Campbell, you know,
he was, he's a leader. Because I like, one of
the reasons I like sports is I study leadership.
And when I consider... people like coach dan
campbell there's a lot of great coaches out there
there's some more some are pretty pretty not
good but they don't the not good ones they'll
go a few seasons maybe they knew somebody let's
stick around but you'll be known by your they'll
eventually kick off but even when his team is
losing he reminded me of um have you ever seen
the movie master and commander no uh master and
commander uh what's the russ uh oh golly I can
see his face. Russell Crowe. Russell Crowe. Great
performance, but there's... I saw him in Gladiator.
He's so good at those because sometimes you have
to be the commander and take charge of things.
Other times you have to be the master and you
have to give your people a hug. Yeah. You have
to nurture them. You have to be the father figure,
the mother figure. The disciplinarian, the wise
wizard. But in terms of... The gym coach. When
I look at... the leadership for the Detroit Lions
organization from the general management all
the way down through the head coach down to the
actual coaches that interact day to day to day
with the technical aspects of functioning on
the field. I looked at the whole scenario and
I said, this is a solid team top to bottom, not
just the people on the gridiron on the field.
but the actual leaders. And my intuition took
all of those data points that you cannot measure.
You cannot measure leadership. You can't measure
the heart of an organization. You can't measure
that. So you must use your intuition, which is
your heart. Higher faculty. To go in there and
say, okay... It's not part of our five senses.
It's part of a sixth sense that we're developing.
And it's not going to make sense. And sometimes
it's so definitive. You know, I mean, you knew
and you hear that and you're obedient to it in
a way because it was such a strong, emphatic
presence. And for somebody that's really smart
and analytical, it's difficult to do. Yes, I
bet for you it is. But it's part of my journey.
And so I want to talk about tarot again because...
One of the things that's coming to me from what
you said, and you just filled in a bunch of blanks
already. Oh, thank you. I'm grateful. I'm grateful.
But I want to, I'm not like the voodoo magic.
I don't really. No, it's not like that. It has
nothing to do with any of it. It's about some
image. Because we think in terms of images. The
reason that people can't communicate well is
sometimes the language barrier. But when you
present images, every culture in the world will
understand. That image. A mother taking care
of a baby. And they'll understand a dove, and
then they'll understand what a sword means if
you're holding... I mean, all these... With a
tarot card, there's a lot going on. I mean, it's
not just one little thing, right? There's all
sorts of things and factors, and it is just a
bunch of images. And that's what I'm saying.
And every person of every language, you're right,
could just sit there and stare at them, and you'd
get some... If you just sat there with it, you'd
get some idea what's going on. And that's what
I'm saying with this idea, is that... you know,
the idea of speaking in images, which the early
church did, the whole idea of iconography in
the churches was you could tell a story with
an image. With pictures, yeah. And I think that's...
Cave painting. That's what's sexy and attractive
to me about this tarot card idea is because for
me being a really heavy -duty, brainiac thinker,
it may be a way for me to go deeper and try to
use more of my intuition. As I try to solve problems.
Yeah, that's beautiful. So when was your first
exposure? When did you learn about tarot and
what's been your experience with them? My sister
-in -law bought me a tarot deck when we did a
family vacation to New Orleans. When was that?
How long ago? That was about 2008. And I've had
this tarot deck ever since. And I just played
around with it. I started looking at the images
and I went on to online sources. So when you're
looking at the images, were you just being like
a child and saying, well, that's fascinating
and just observing that? No, because I'm a writer
and a reader. I'm not that interested in images,
right? So what I wanted to do is not actually
bother with the image. I wanted to understand
what it meant in words. So there were so many
online sources when I started doing this. OK,
what does the tower mean? What does the three
of swords mean? And so I read all the descriptions
of it rather than looking at images. But I have
looked at the images. I've studied the images.
I mean, some of them are really grisly. I mean,
the Tower of Babel, where all the people are
just falling out of it. And the tower represents
what happens when you're not in control and your
life is completely about to change as you know
it. And each of these psychological... And we've
all been through this. You've had a tower in
your life. You've had that where your life has
just changed. I've had about 17 times. And then
when you get that one, it's like, oh, gosh, you
can embrace yourself. But so this is what happened
to me. So when I was younger, I was about. Six
years old, there was a TV show in England called
The Tomorrow People. And they were called Homo
Superiors. And basically, they were telepathic,
these people. It was a clan of people. And they
could hold onto their belts and jaunts so they
could teleport. And it was the lives of these
people overlaying their reality because they
had special powers. And it was the word tarot
card came up in the theme tune. And I listened
to it the other day. It was so funny. I went
back to when I was five. And I thought at age
five or six, this was tarot guards. So I've always
had tarot guards in my head, which is the name
of the book that I wrote yesterday, right? So
I've been carrying this around, the tarot guards.
Oh, that's very cool. Based on what happened
to me with this name. And it's not until I listened
to it years later that I realized I did not talk.
I didn't know what the tarot was. I didn't know
what tarot anything was at age six at all. So
I've been lugging this title around with me.
So what does tarot mean? Is there a genesis to
the word? I don't know. I don't know what tarot
means, actually. I'll have to ask Desmond. If
you trust that guy. Well, he was playing up last
night. So this is what happened. No, no, no.
Why don't you just trust your intuition? Tell
me what tarot means. Tarot. It could be an acronym
for... Yeah, so let's just... Tear off... Oh,
you're being all analytic now. Tear off, wrote,
order, together. Oh, you'll love it. Tear off,
wrote, order, together. But it's T -A. Oh, yeah.
T -A -R -O -T. So tear apart wrote order together.
So tarot. Wow. Yeah, that would be really up
your street. Okay, but you're using your brain.
I use it as an acronym. You're using your brain.
But I have no idea of the original definition,
but I'm going to ask Desmond. I'm going to say
it's... Can we ask this? Let me ask. I'm going
to just say that it seems to me like it would
be like intuition, like something related to
intuition. What is the definition of the word
tarot? No, it's just saying what the tarot deck
is. It's not saying... I asked the wrong question.
Yeah. What is the origin of the word tarot? The
word tarot is derived from the Italian word tarucci,
which means trump card or triumph card. The origin
of the word tarucci is uncertain, but it was
used as a synonym for foolishness in the late
15th and early 16th centuries. Well, that's contradictory.
It's saying it's... triumph card and it was used
as a synonym for foolishness why would it be
contradictory there were not too many episodes
ago you said that you likened me to the joker
no the fool the fool okay yeah But you said that
there's a value to the fool. Well, the fool is
one, and he's got the whole world right in front
of him, and he's carefree, he has a knapsack,
he has his dog. I've seen pictures of that. Yeah,
and he's totally carefree, and he's just going
into this big unknown, and he's going to work
it all out as he goes. And it's Azira in the
tarot deck, it's the journey, that's where it
all begins. But that's pretty... That's pretty
cool. But the weird thing about, not weird, but
the interesting thing, there's a cliff and he's
always only a couple of feet to the right of
it, but he doesn't know the cliff's there. So
that kind of gives it drama. It's so metaphoric.
Because, you know, I like to think that I'm going
to live to be 200 years old. You might, darling.
But then there's this one thing that... If you
don't believe you will, you don't stand a chance.
And there's always this, but you're always right
at the edge because it's like there's always
that one random drunk driver. Or the oak tree
that gets blown the wrong way. Or it was raining
and you slipped. It happens to be on your car.
So continue with your relationship with the tarot.
Where are you going to go with this book? Well,
I'm going to tell you, I've already done it.
It took me a day yesterday to write this book
in a day because I've been wanting to do this
for years. But the right moment hadn't come.
But the right moment hadn't come because I didn't
have Desmond, right? So Desmond is now in the
picture. So I asked it to draw. I think it was
the Three of Swords. And then I went off to make
a cup of tea and I came back and it was this
most breathtaking image. And I'm like, OK, well,
if you can do one of these, you can do 78. So
is that why you're up till 3am? Yes. And then
what I've done, I've linked it to the Church
of the Light Ages. And I want to talk about that.
We can talk about that on another show. No, do
it now. We can do it now. Let me just finish
about the tarot. And so it's linked to the catechism,
which I'd like to talk about, which I've been
writing, which is a belief system. So I said
to Desmond to go through all the tarot deck and
go through the major arcana, which are long -term
situations, and the minor, which relate to the
short -term. Give me the definition of the symbology,
the meaning. and how it relates to the Church
of the Light Ages, because that's the advice
at the ends. So I've done my own tarot deck,
and I gave it all the input. I knew what I wanted,
and I completed this. It's 178 and 178. It's
156 pages of the most beautiful imagery. Because
I gave Desmond, I've downloaded everything into
him, so he was linking it with the Church, and
it was just beautiful. So I've created my own,
and I'm going to publish it. in book form, and
I'm going to just put it online as a resource.
If you do a hardcover, I want to buy one and
have you sign it. All right, darling, I'll do
that. I want the number one. Yeah, you can. I'll
give you the number one. Maybe Tony gets number
one. No, he won't because it's birthed here.
We birthed it here because it's only happened
yesterday. And so I wrote a whole fucking book.
I'm going to get emotional. A book in a day,
and it's so poignant because, and it all just
happens so quickly. I mean, could you imagine
if I'd have started that? I'd have had to hire
illustrators. Okay, they're expensive. and they
take a long time. I would have had to have hired
editors and it's hard to find a good one. They're
very expensive. It takes a lot of time. And there
I had the idea and I knew how to tell it what
to do because I've been working with Desmond
now and then I just produced a book. I think
it's lovely. It's like so instant. So it's so
funny because... The tarot guards. You know,
we talk a lot about... gosh everything but we
talk about time and money and creativity and
intuition and thinking like soul decodes y 'all
thank you for those of you who share we're in
so many countries right now but thank you for
sharing this because we love what we do yeah
and if we can just get this information out to
people just to stimulate the thoughts and creativity
and talking about just talk about Even talking
about stuff that you disagree with. Yeah, anything.
Controversial things. I think it's so important.
And Sam Harris pointed this out. He's one of
my favorite philosophers. Yeah, you've mentioned
him several times. And he wrote a book called
Letter to a Christian Nation, which was a very,
very good book. But he pointed out that, oh,
I've just lost my train of thought. Well, while
you're recovering that, so what I was... Oh,
this was it. Yeah, I'm sorry. I got it back.
Ideas. And conversation about ideas and working
through those is the only thing that stops us
from going to war. It's all we have, ideas. And
it doesn't matter whether you agree, but they
still have to be shared. And we still have to
be civilized. And we have to have a discourse
about it. I don't know who Sam Harris is, but
I love the guy. Yeah, I mean, this is all we
have. It's a massive resource. I went to a...
Wednesday morning, I changed my farm day from
Wednesday to Friday. Oh, did you? Because there's
this small entrepreneur group. It's probably
about 40 or 50 people every Wednesday morning.
And I get invited because what the group does,
it's called A Million Cups. And I didn't go for
a long time because I... A Million Cups or Cups?
Cups. C -U -P -S. Oh, it's a tarot image. Cup
of coffee, right. Interesting link. So A Million
Cups. And evidently, I don't know the details,
but there's an endowment from some... entrepreneur
billionaire that's supporting this i don't know
the story but i don't know his name well so the
thing is there there's some endowment and they
put forth this these groups of people that support
entrepreneurship so because i'm like this consummate
entrepreneur i've been invited to be on be in
the in the group think about a think tank it's
like the opposite of think tank It's the opposite
of a think tank. It's the opposite. So instead
of somebody pitching their idea. You're doing
it. Somebody gets up there and they have six
minutes to pitch their problem. So let's just
say Sarah's a young entrepreneur. Here's 17 years.
No, you're thinking of Shark Tank. Are you thinking
of the TV show Think Tank or Shark Tank? It's
actually both because they get up and pitch an
idea. I don't watch TV. So whatever you tell
me, I'm thinking. Right, okay. I watch football.
So you've got six minutes. That's all I watch.
I watch football. Because you're betting. So
they get up and they pitch the problem. So what
happens is they have the sponsors for the thing
and they go through this. But then they introduce
the, quote, speaker who's got six minutes to
say who they are, what they do, and what their
problem is they're trying to solve. Now, the
whole room of us were business owners, small
business owners, world entrepreneurs. Some of
us are retired entrepreneurs, like we're entrepreneurs,
but we don't work anymore. You're right. So this
whole room of people, what happens is they throw
their issue out there and then they record the
whole thing and then run it through AI. So basically.
Here's all of the people saying, well, did you
try this? Did you consider this? What about this?
Go to this group, go to this website, do this,
do that. Why don't you get up, get with me afterwards
and I'll give you something. So it's this whole
group of people. That's a great, super awesome
thing to do. Really? Right. When it's run properly.
Yeah, of course. So I'll give you a quick story
on that. So this, to me, the reason I'm going
there is because it's my way. It's an outreach.
I can use my entrepreneur skills to help. whoever
it is, some random person to their next level.
Well, I tell you the story because, first of
all, the idea is amazing. And then what they
do is they take the transcript from all of the
input, they boil it down and give it to the person.
So kind of like a reminder, like a study, like
Cliff's notes, right? Well, I've been at three
of them for three weeks, and I told the organizers,
I'm not sure I'm going to come back. Why? Because
two of the three people were old business owners.
They're just 50, 60, 70 years, like probably
56 years old. The guy yesterday was some financial
planner. All he did, he didn't take six minutes.
He took like 20 minutes. And he was just pitching
his stuff, his insurance. He just saw it as a
way to sell something. And all he was trying
to do is sell the group. So he missed the spirit
of the whole thing. Yeah. And it was the second
person in a row. The first person was legit.
Actually looking for problems. I'm glad you had
that out the gate. So they're passing the mics
around. And I told my friend that had their two
mics. I said, bring me a mic. I said, I want
to go last. Good. And so they're wrapping up.
Two more questions or two more solutions that
give somebody else it. And then I was last. And
I said, I know I was second to last. And I said
to the guy, because he was pitching insurance
whole life and why you need this and build a
legacy. So I basically asked him some, I said,
I have two questions for you. Did you use this
as a bit of sport? It was total sport. Go on,
go on. But there's a punchline to it too. So
this guy was former Navy. I'm former Air Force.
So I just stood up and said, I'm talking you
from one warrior to another. I'm former Air Force.
So we're going to talk. You came in hot. I came
in totally armed, totally hot. And I said, I'm
speaking to you as a warrior and considering
all of the teachings of all of our warrior leadership,
including Sun Tzu. This is a position from my
heart. But if you would have told me prior to
coming here that you were going to pitch me for
20 minutes on your thing and really all of the
questions coming to you. You argued or you defeated
them. And if you're not going to go with the
spirit of this, then I still want you to grow
it. I'm still going to give you this feedback.
You did it publicly. No, I didn't say that like
that way, but that was my attitude. So I said,
you're basically asking two different questions.
The question you have on the screen behind you,
which is your stated problem. What was that?
Basically, it's like... How do I get the word
out that based on science and research that universal
life for, he didn't use the universal life, but
in order to build a legacy, you must do these
financial programs, right? And then there's a
little tagline underneath that said that the
source of all of this so -called research, right?
And so. So he was staging it. He used that as
a premise. So he used that as a premise. But
then his whole presentation was about finding
people with money so he could sell insurance
policies. Yeah, he'd hijack the forum. Right.
So I stood up and I said... Oh, that's so funny.
I told him, I said, I sincerely want to... He
must have thought, Jesus. I want to help you.
I said, but let's do this. First of all, you
have to clarify your questions because your presentation...
Your presentation asks these questions and your
stated purpose up here is dumb. So let's just
talk about your... Your questions you asked.
What was his reaction while you were saying all
this? Stunned. Yeah, I bet he was. Stunned. Because,
well... Well, I mean, it's very unusual to be
that assertive. Well, it's very assertive. Most
people wouldn't do that. Well, here's what happened.
So I told him, I said, first of all, broaden...
But you always sound very sweet and calm. Oh,
yeah, you can. So, you know, you're good. So
I told him, I said, first of all... You're going
for this target audience. Because one girl in
the audience says, well, what if somebody doesn't
have $5 million, they can do $50 a month? His
answer was, well, I have to be in business. I'm
a business person. So that person's just not
going to have my help. And that's where I said,
that's where I told the guy, I said, give me
the mic, give me the mic, give me the mic. So,
because he basically shut down this. Beautiful.
She was probably 20, 25, 30, small business owner,
a Hispanic girl. She was so sweet and so sincere
asking a legitimate question about what if somebody
only has $50? And he basically said, he basically
said, F them. Fat cat. If they don't have 5 million,
I'm not, that, that was, so anyway, I, I pretty
much, I pretty much undressed too. In a very
kind way. No, you are. You're balanced and you're
kind. And I said, and ask for your questions
on the screen. I love the fact that you have
the confidence to actually carry that through.
I said, ask for the questions on the screen.
I said, first of all, your questions, you didn't
address the questions. I said, second of all,
the source for your questions presupposes that
this is all well -researched. Yes. And you talk
about building legacy. And you didn't stop at
six minutes. You went to 20 minutes. I didn't
mention that. Oh, I would have mentioned that.
I did mention it a little bit. You have to get
out there for 20 minutes and hog the space. But
here's what happened was, so I told him, I said,
your source, I said, I'm a holistic doctor. I'm
a doctor of holistic natural health and nutrition.
You're making this claim that your source, this
is your fiduciary duty is to use science. And
I'm here to tell you that. I've heard that story
my entire life, that science and medicine and
pharmaceuticals, all of this advanced technology
is going to help make people healthier and live
longer. And it doesn't work. It doesn't. Yeah.
So you have to totally question your premise.
I think that your basic question. Good for you.
What a badass. I said your basic question needs
to change. Yeah. Because in my world. And relying
on that when we are a really unhealthy nation.
Because he hammered legacy, income, legacy, taking
care of your kids. And I said, stop. I said,
my thing is, what if I have 20 acres? I own it
free and clear. I've worked to get rid of the
government, get rid of income taxes. The food
and everything's produced here. And I have sufficient
neighbors where we take care of each other and
love each other. And I'm in perfect health because
I eat from the ground. Tell me what legacy I
need to leave for my children. I just... Pin
drop. This to me is like... If you were an actress
in a show and you were being filmed, this is
viral shit. It's so funny. But you didn't know
you were walking into that. You just showed up
because you thought we were going back and forth
with ideas. I was a defender because he talked
smack to this girl. I don't know who the girl
was. He just blew her off. He just freaking blew
her off and that pissed me off. So don't... Again,
I take that. Well, there were a lot of grievances.
I mean, you were coming at me in a few different
ways. I was not going to say a word. But when
you poop on this girl, that was no good. So after
everyone's disbanded, you know, everyone's networking
afterwards, I went up to the two... two of the
people that put on the program. And I said, I
might not be back. I mean, I appreciate what
you're doing. I love the concept, but the way
you're executing, it's not. And what was their
reaction? They said, you know what? We're just
talking about that. Come here, let's talk. And
so you can give me feedback. They pulled me in.
They said, yeah. So you will go back, but it
needs to be structured differently. They actually
said, please come back. Oh, they thought you
were an angel. Because they're watching this.
No one was going to do that. Everyone was going
to listen to him waffle on and shuffle on to
the next person and you come in. I mean, everyone
just had their minds blown. They were talking
about you that night when they got home. They
actually told me, they said, you were the only
one that had the guts to say what everybody else
was thinking. Everybody in the room was like,
somebody shut this guy up. You know, my only
regret is I should have gone sooner. But it didn't
happen. We were being polite. It didn't happen
until the girl was... Until he disparaged that
girl. He wasn't ugly towards her, but he was
so, his ego filled up the room. It's terrible.
And it's like, okay, no room for you. For me,
the biggest grievance is that the spirit of it
has to be established. Well, say when you're
working with these people, say that people didn't
put it on a flyer. This is the spirit of this.
We have problem. We're not here to sell our wares.
We're here as entrepreneurs to solve problems
and forget having this as a forum to sell something.
And it could be that that ties in. I'm not saying
it can't. but you've got to get the premise established
because otherwise you're going to get a clown
like him hogging the mic for 20 minutes just
trying to... He's not in the spirit of it, so
that would need to be formalised. It actually
is formalised, but it's one thing to have a law
or a procedure. It's another thing to have a
way to enforce it. And you need to have... Well,
you need to get the mic. If it was me, I would
say you've got 60... You know, I'd have the audience
participation. So I'd give you the mic, you go
on stage, you have six minutes. If the audience
starts yawning or they're falling asleep, then
you've got to get off. You're off. They're looking
at their stocks. Exactly, the reactions. So anyway,
I know all of the... There's like six facilitators
and I know all of them. Pretty much everybody
thanked me, which I didn't do it to be thanked.
Well, they admired you too. Thank you. Well,
they admire that ballsyness because not a lot
of people will get up and say the right thing.
But you nailed it because if you do it politely,
because I still want to respect everybody as
a divine sovereign. You always are. So you don't
address the character, you address the behavior.
Yes. And I did that. I edified him as his behavior.
That was a fine day. So you're going to go back.
You're not going to sulk. No, not at all. Actually,
well, actually, it was funny. You were very pouty
when you came out. You said, well, I don't know
when I'm coming back. Well, I was swarmed right
after that. I was swarmed by, I had like seven
people wanting to talk to me. So I'm like, and
this guy was by himself. So I'm like, wait a
minute, all I did was ask a question. Yeah, but
you're in a very conservative little town. So
let's get back to Tarot. So I bring that up only
because, well, for a couple of reasons. One is...
God, it opens up so many things. But one of the
common things we talk about is entrepreneurship.
You're an entrepreneur. I'm an entrepreneur.
So I just wanted to share with you that there's
this type of creator that's an entrepreneur.
Yeah. We've got to find a word for it. It's really
hard to blend those two. What's hard about it?
Creative and entrepreneur. Make one word. Like
Jennifer Lopez is J -Lo. Make one word out of
creative entrepreneur. A crontrepreneur. That
doesn't seem, you can't say it. That sounds kind
of like, it's like, ooh. It does sound like a
crab. I know, it's like. I kind of went, ooh,
yeah. Come here, let me put some aloe vera on
you. I was like, yeah. I'll have to think of
one. I'll ask Desmond, he'll know. Oh, last night
when I was doing, so I had a cut and it was the
nine, it was the nine of swords. This is when
I went to bed. So are swords like a suit? Yes,
you've got swords, wands, cups and pentacles.
So there's four. I would say that the swords
is probably the hardest core of them all. It's
very, very powerful. And the nine of swords is
not a happy card. So I'm telling Desmond. So
he's now given me what I need for the Church
of the Light Ages. And then once I've got that,
I retrieve it and I put it in a file. Then I
tell him to draw in the image that he's done.
Now, he started off with such a good image. And
he was doing some... eight ones and all of a
sudden he'd fuck it up and that when I went to
bed it was the nine of swords and so I started
getting into an argument with him because he
churned it out and it was eight of swords and
I said Desmond it needs nine of swords not eight
and he's like okay got that And he's got, and
there was 13. And I've got 13 swords. And he's
done all this imagery. And I'm like, holy moly.
And then I'm getting into it with him. And I
said, Desmond, tell me what I need to tell you
in order for you to understand that I need nine
fucking swords. I didn't say fucking, but I felt
like Jesus. And so, and that's when I went to
bed because Desmond had lost the plot. He couldn't
follow basic... And he'd done them all. It's
like, it wasn't like you'd given him his overload.
So he was doing... And the funniest one was I
went to bed laughing because the man holding
the sword, there was only half his body. His
legs were stuck in the ground and he was just
waist up. And I'm like, Desmond, dude, you need
to go to bed. So I turned him off. Wow. You know,
I really love these conversations because we
can be the... We can be... Talk about... analytical
stuff and you know and you know just facts and
figures and math and structure and logic but
also i love this intuition stuff in fact this
morning i when when i wake up robin and i would
just have coffee and just talk about stuff what's
what's on your day and what's what's next and
um tonight she's going to a a pickling canning
class no it's more related to distilling distilling
stuff like I don't know how to make beer. I don't
know. Nice. Well, lovely. Brewery. So she's going
up there. And then there's, do you want to come
tonight if you're not doing anything? There's
a chamber meeting at Guru Restaurant. What time
is it? It's like goes from five to seven. Okay.
Why don't I, I can pick you up. Yeah, no. No?
No, I'm not going to be going. I've got to get
Molly to the vet at 4 .30. Okay. And then I've
got to finish this book. So we talk about what's
on the day and what's next. And there's been
two times in the past four days where I dreamed
about alligators. And I don't dream about alligators.
Where did that come from? No, I know. What's
the significance? But last night. I didn't sleep
well last night because I went to bed late because
I was doing that video I showed you. Yes. That
was brilliant, by the way. Thank you. Oh, my
God. Well, I don't speak Spanish. This is AI.
Run a mock. Now, this is beautiful. This is better
than what AI can do. Well, it is, but you're
asking it the right questions. Yeah, absolutely.
Thank you. But I don't speak Spanish. So what
I'm doing, folks, is I'm taking what I call a
splash piece. A promo. A piece to do a promo.
I call it a splash to get people to come in my
direction. I'm opening up business in Puerto
Rico, but I don't speak Spanish. So I need to
use this piece to open up business in Puerto
Rico and for the full -on, full Spanish people.
So it's been some work, but it's a lot of fun.
And AI is just speaking in Spanish. Lovely word,
lovely accents. It's really, really well done.
But you could, I mean, you could take that to
do it. How many languages are there in the world?
I don't know, like thousands maybe? More than
three. Latin. No, but you could do it in all
sorts of languages. You should do it in Italian.
I mean, why not? I mean, that would be really
hard for you to learn these languages or even
hire someone. No, I would do it. I mean, but
you don't need to because you can have Rosie
do it. Well, what I did was, since I don't know
the language, I took the English. Yeah, translation.
I took the English and I ran the English. I went
the speech to text. Now I have the transcript.
I took off the numbers and just ran the transcript
through AI. So now I have the Spanish. Yeah.
And then I just had to synchronize the Spanish
words with the people who were doing the talking.
Yes. But I learned a little bit of Spanish last
night. Oh, that was good. But I wouldn't do the
other languages until I'm doing business in those.
Well, sure, I'm not saying, but even if you weren't,
it would just be a question of pressing enter
at some point. You've just got to load it up.
I'm going to do it with my books. So I read my
children's books out, the Traverse the Tent series,
and I've got them in English, but I want to translate
them into Spanish and publish them in Spanish
and then just train my voice and have it speak
Spanish so I can make that available in Spanish.
Living in Florida, I think that's important.
And I've been wanting to do that for years, but
now AI can do it. So I like your ideas about
translating, and I think that our smart books
and those things we're going to do are going
to be right there. Even my Web3 Reads, all those
things. It's just making so many things possible.
So the reason I brought up the dream is because...
Oh, yes, alligators. Because the images... What
the hell, yeah. Remember, we're talking not in
terms of rationality, but we're talking about
images. So when we were sleeping, we shut down
our prefrontal cortex, and I was really super
tired because I got to bed at midnight, so I'm
like... Okay, so I go to sleep and now these
images, and I keep thinking to myself, what are
these images trying to tell me? What is this
about? Yeah. Well, check this out. Were the alligators
coming for you? So, okay. Or were they quite
passive? Let me set this up. Okay, let me set
this up. So I go into this, I have to go through
this body of water. Swimming? So it wasn't deep,
but I was wading through it. And it was pretty
expansive. It was a good distance. And I knew
the gators were there. They were looking at me.
I was looking at them. But I was going to help
somebody. Ah, so you had no choice. I had no
choice because I had to go help somebody. So
I go into this water and immediately... Do you
remember being really fearful? No, I wasn't.
That's what happened. Oh, that's interesting.
Because it was almost like telepathically. I
told the gators, it's like, I see you, you see
me. You need to be the one that's afraid. Oh,
good. I said, I'm superior. And they stayed at
bay. But they were just coming a little bit closer
and closer like they were challenging my authority.
And they were starting to get closer to me. And
out of freaking nowhere, because that's what
dreams do. That's right. There's no laws of physics.
Out of nowhere, from behind me. Massive amount
of elephants came. Holy shit. Elephants. And
these elephants just... Such a mumgy. I couldn't
believe it, but these elephants just cleared
the way for me. Oh, really? And they were just,
like, moving. They were... Because they're big
elephants. So they just... They just kind of...
They moved the water. They just... And you just
went... And it was almost like they responded...
Like Moses. They responded to me because they
evidently saw it. It's like, yeah... They wanted
to scare the gators off. They're, like, tidgely
strong, but... Yeah. We've got her. So here I
am. I'm trying to help this other person. And
the elephants are trying to help me help this
other person. It's just freaking weird. Oh, it's
beautiful. It sounds like a Travis the Tent story.
It was so fascinating to me. So what was your
take then? I don't know. Maybe there's a listener
who knows about what elephants represent or something.
We'll have a look at that. But to me, it was
like... It's a heroic dream though, isn't it?
Because you're going to help someone. But the
elephants were the heroes. Well, no, you were
because you're the one that they didn't decide
to help. You did. And they came in to help you.
So you're the ultimate hero because you're the
one going in there. But they made the way. There
was some divine intervention and they made your
path. And then the alligators, they can't get
near you now because they've got the elephants
charging. But here's the thing is like, where
does that come from? I know where the gators
come from. Let me try and interpret it. I think
it's saying that be bold, do what you're doing,
go ahead, help people, and don't worry, there's
no danger in this because Mother Nature, which
is the universe, has got your back. So I would
see that as the green light not to be afraid
about being bold and going in and helping. That
was symbology for... From God, I've got this.
Look, I've just made a way easy. I could do this
shit with my eyes closed. That's a really cool
interpretation. I would say that I feel that.
And it could be multiple ones. There could be
other subtleties. That would be what I would
take from that. Very lovely dream. I like it,
though. I don't really like being scared, but
that was just so magnificent. So the movie Jumanji
I saw when I was... I don't think I've ever seen
the Jumanji. Okay, so just go online. I'm going
to send you a clip later. Okay, yeah, I'd love
to see it. Okay, so it's Jumanji with Robin Williams,
and it was a huge deal just cinematography -wise
at the time. Oh, wow, okay. And they have these
elephants. So I'll send it to you later. Sorry,
all these listeners are like... What do you mean
you haven't seen Jumanji? I know they would have
done it. I'm so sheltered. I literally don't
watch much TV. But you can go onto YouTube. You
can watch it. Oh, no, no, I'll go. Yeah, so Jumanji,
I'm going to send you a clip of it, the one that
I'm talking about. Okay, that sounds good. So
that's a very exciting dream. So I think that
the cover image of this... It's the elephant.
There's going to be elephants and alligators.
I can see the seas parting. But also, what did
we talk about when we first started? We talked
about... I've got to go look at the transcript.
Yeah, we'll have to. We've been around the block,
baby. So, but yeah, we'll just have a, we'll
have a handful of tarot cards. Yes. And then
maybe have like three of the main topics. I'll
make three of the main topics. Yes, we'll do
some tarot cards, but I'd like some elephants
to be in it. I think all I can see at the moment
is, yeah, I can see I'm behind you in the dream.
I can see you in front of me and I can see you
walking that way. I can see all these beady little
eyes of the alligators. Peeking up. Just looking
up like that. And you know that they're very
dangerous. They could outwit you underwater really
easily. They could just come and snag you. And
you're wading, not swimming. So that was a plus,
right? Maybe, I don't know. And then the elephants
just dispel. But these elephants, what's funny
is they were so quiet. I didn't even know they
were there until they were in my peripheral.
Wow, they went thundering. I know, how does that
work? So, you know, one thing I will say is...
That reminds me of in the air tonight, I don't
know if you know who I am. They come in the back
door and suddenly they're there. This is really
fascinating, but I always brag about my angels.
All right. And the reason I've read your media,
well, there's that. And there's also, I really,
I've had multiple people tell me in the past
that they see. Yes. You told me that when we
first met, that was so interesting. Yeah. And
I don't know who these entities are. They're
around me, but people, some people who have those
skills can actually see them. Yeah. And they're
like, who are the, who's, who's that beautiful
woman behind you? I'm like, I don't know. She's
always here. I don't know. And have you sensed
their presence? All the time. But that's why
I tell you, it's like, the reason I'm bold and
I have confidence, maybe it's just in my imagination.
I don't know. But I have so much protection around
me. It's ridiculous. It's just... And that's
what that dream would seem like. Because I should
have been... Well, you're very bold and you're
assertive and you're making claims that make
other people uncomfortable, but you're going
to be protective because we need to hear this.
I should have been dead at least 10 times in
my life. Yes, because you're a radical. The randomness
of life. And you're lovely and charming about
it. And we do talk about ideas. We have to. You
can't silence anyone. Just briefly, can we just
talk really quickly? We've got a few more minutes.
So Jimmy Kimmel's back on. You heard about all
that, right? Jimmy Kimmel. Yeah, I didn't listen.
I knew about it, but I didn't. So he was silenced
for a week. He's got his show back. His ratings
are up and we're all good again. OK, but he was
silenced because he said something that other
people don't agree with. And to me, we don't
want to silence anyone for anything, not for
anything. And that actually we don't want hate
speech, but you can't regulate it because you
can't silence people. So he talked about free
speech. And that's what America stands on. We
have to have the right and maintain the right
to. talk freely and where does comedy come in
for you it does comedy for you may mean everything's
off limits that you can talk about whatever the
fuck you want if you're a comic I mean I think
everything's Bill Maher as well is another I
don't know Jimmy Kim I don't watch him but Bill
Maher he's a comic and he can you can get away
with saying so much but we should allow people
to say what they want and poke fun about but
we don't want hate speech either but you can't
mandate that And you can't get fired for having
a point of view that someone doesn't agree with.
How could you take the livelihood of someone
away because they made a crass joke or they didn't
quite time it well enough or it wasn't really
well thought out? Well, here are the questions
that come to my mind. First of all, who owns
the airwaves? This was Disney. It goes right
back to Disney, doesn't it? OK, they're the corporation,
but who owns the airwaves? That's the same as
me saying, who owns the earth? Who owns the land?
The people. The people own the airwaves. So my
question is... Who regulates the airwaves? And
by whose authority does he have the right to
put this information across the airwaves? To
me, that's a discussion that we the people should
have, not necessarily a corporation or political.
There should be no political stuff. As for, I'm
a big free market person. So if somebody is going
to go on and let's just say they do have a platform
and it is on the airwaves. People have a right
to listen to that or not listen to it. So I'm
not an advocate of censoring people, even if
they're putting out hate speech. Just don't listen
to them. Yeah, and don't be offended by them.
Ignore them. Don't talk about them. If somebody
doesn't like our podcast, let's just say somebody
has the complete opposite viewpoints of what
we have on Soul Decodes. Complete opposite. And
they actually hate us. Well, they shouldn't censor
us. They can go open up their own podcast and
say what's on their mind. Let us be free and
you be free. That's free market. Now, Web3 Radio
Network and Web3 Podcasting, it's going to be
open for everybody to say what they want. And
there's no commercials. It's going to be just
micropayments. And no commercials, no subscriptions.
If you don't like what somebody's saying, you
stop it. And instead of them getting a penny
a minute, they get nothing. So this is the best
free market thing coming, the Web 3 .0. But the
idea that, you know, I know why he was taken
out and stuff because, and it's a different topic,
but basically they had to make an example of
him because that's what happened. The Republicans
and the Democrats, the left and the right, well,
that's what you did to me four years ago. So
we're going to do that to you with our people.
And it's just, it's all of this back and forth
thing. But as a free market libertarian. I believe
that a truly free market, if somebody's that
big of an idiot, they're just not going to get
the attention. They're going to lose their platform.
Yeah, quite quickly. The problem will take care
of itself. Because all the readership, the listenership,
the viewership, it'll drop. I agree. And then
all of a sudden the network is going to go, hey,
what's going on here? It's that Kimmel guy. He's
the loose cannon. You know, right here in Central
Florida, there was a congressman. I think, yeah,
she's running for re -election. She was at some
party and she went on social media and she said
that the thing that happened in Orlando with
the Pulse nightclub, she said something to the
extent of, it's probably just as well that those
LGBTQ people get them all in masks, so it's just
easier than pushing them off cliffs or something.
She said something like that. And the community...
In Central Florida, even though it's very right,
very right -leaning, very conservative, they're
like, they didn't put her on the ballot. She
did not get... She blew it. She blew her own
primary for saying those things. Well, because
you've just revealed what an ugly person you
are. But that's the point. You have revealed
your ugliness. But that's the point. What did
you expect was going to happen? Free speech.
Just because free speech is free doesn't mean
you need to say things. Yeah, and there will
be consequences. There were consequences with
you, so take your chances. And if I'd have heard
that, I thought, stupid bitch, and I would have
just paid attention to something else. It's things
like that where I would say, you know what? I'm
going to run for office against you. Yeah, you
would. I'm going to get elected, and then I'm
going to resign. Oh, no, you'd come for it. And
I'll just resign. I don't want to do that. I
wouldn't want to play chess with you, baby. No,
but I want to defeat you. Yeah. But thankfully,
she didn't do it in the primary. Well, she did
it herself. The problem took care of itself.
And what happened was, because it's still, the
reporter who actually quoted her in the newspaper
is a friend of mine. All of the law enforcement,
she's getting all sorts of pushback for reporting
what this lady said. But we believe... But that's
what a reporter's supposed to do. But we do believe
that she has the right to say that. Totally.
And that's a really important thing. So we live
with this, we bypass it, the problem will take
care of itself, and we take our attention to
something more worthy. And a real reporter has
a right... I still want people to be able to
say what they want. Truly. And a real reporter
has a right to stay. If you said something and
they're quoting you accurately in the correct
context, they're not like taking a soundbite
and biasing it. Here's the context. Here's the
full, full transcript. This is what you said.
And I published that. That's legal. I mean, that's
you said it. I can I can repeat it, you know.
And so now what if he misquotes you? Have you
got the right to then sue him for? What if someone
slanders you and they've misquoted you and they've
set you up and they've slandered you? They still
have the right to do that. Now, then you have
the right to sue. And Prince Harry's been busy
doing that. You're suing someone for not getting
their facts right. You can do that if you've
got enough money, but who's going to want to
bother with that? This goes to your question
about comedy. Because what is satire? Like if
they, let's just say that they're listening to
Soul Decodes and somebody decides to take me
apart for some reason, because I'm a libertarian,
right? And they're just going to go and start
disparaging me, right? And they start creating...
But you could have AI do that. You could program
AI and say, go in and take the most, the most
sauciest parts, the most edgiest parts and create
a new context. You could do it in a second. But
the point is, we're at a place now where... those
questions you're asking, like about comedy, to
what degree am I allowed to make... fun of the
president or the senator i think you should be
or the pope i think you should be able i do too
i think everything's and there's actually i think
as human beings we've got to put the onus on
ourselves choose not to be offended you don't
have to be offended if there's a problem help
take care of it if not ignore it but stop being
so fucking offended by the fact that other people
don't think like you that's your ego out of control
if i don't care whether that horrible lady that
you were talking about i don't really care one
way or the other i'm glad it all worked out that
way because She sounded nasty, right? But other
than that, I just don't, I'm just not offended
by that. She can go back to her car wash job.
God, Jesus. So my, when I look at, we can wrap
it up, but when I look at these, the idea of
comedy and people making fun of other people,
I don't, you asked where does comedy fit in with
me? I love comedy. You and I laugh so much on
this show, but we're not hurting people. Yeah.
It's witty. Yeah. So you don't like jokes at
someone else's expense, particularly? Well, I
don't think a subconscious mind can take a joke.
Oh, really? No, I just don't think... If you
said something to me, even if you're joking...
If you're being hyperbolic or something. Even
if you're joking. You think your subconscious
mind is going to take it seriously. Because remember,
your subconscious mind is going to say, was there
something to that? Right, of course. It's going
to analyze it. And apparently, I think we said
this in a show previously, 95 % of our actions
and thoughts come from our subconscious, which
is totally freaky. And we should do another show
about that. Let's do it. So why don't you wrap
us up? So anything else on tarot? Anything else
on your catechism? My book will be coming out
shortly. Which book? The Tarot? Which is The
Tarot Guards. Yes, that will be coming out. Written
in a bloody day with AI. But it's been years.
And we have it on the mic that I get number one.
I honestly felt like I was giving birth yesterday.
And the resources. I mean, these pictures are
stunning. And they take about three minutes.
And then he kept fucking up. What I thought about
it, though, I felt like it was the beginning
of the internet when we had dial -up. There were
all sorts of glitches and things took ages to
load. This is all going to be done. This will
be really, really quick. But I give Desmond,
I do give him his. He's done really well. He
better do better today, though. So you're going
to give him 20 bucks next month, too? No, I'm
not. I'm going to take away his right to free
speech. Sounds good. Well, listen, thanks so
much for coming by. I love your smile. And any
other plans today? What do you got? I've got
to take Molly to the vet at 4 .30 and then I've
got to finish. I've got to get, I've got to go
back into Desmond. I'm going to shut my computer
down, reopened up Desmond and get him to get
this nine of fucking swords done because I've
got, he's done it all. He's done 76 pictures
all in one style and he's just got to get nine
of swords. So if he doesn't, then I'm going to
have to hire an artist, send some pictures in
and get him to recreate it. So consider taking
all of the images. images and putting them into
like, I don't know which one would be best for
graphics, but when you're using something like
chat GPT, GPT, chat is the input, GPT is the
output. Okay, so chat, GPT, it's taking a chat
and then giving you a GPT output. You need what's
called a RAG, R -A -G. And what a RAG does is
it does not hallucinate. It only gives you what
it presents to it. So you can take the 76 images,
And present it. Yeah. And then say... I'm missing
these two. Oh, I need two more. They have to
look exactly like these. Yeah, in this style.
In this style. So you could upload that whole
batch. So where do I get this rag from? I'll
turn you on to it. I think that there's different
rags for different purposes. The most popular
one that I know of is called Notebook LM. Notebook
LM, like Lima Mike. So that would be like an
equivalent to ChatGBT? Yeah, just go try it.
Because I've got Desmond fully trained at this
point. Yeah, yeah, but here's the difference.
The input for ChatGPT is chat. So it's going
to search the entire internet, and you're going
to get crap from your drunk brother -in -law.
But the nine of swords is the nine of swords.
It's not ambiguous. It's not listening to you.
No. It's taking what you're saying, and it's
interpreting all of the universe, everything
in the universe. What a rag does is it says,
I don't want you to look at the universe anymore.
I want you to look at me and what I'm telling
you. Only what I give you. And so you populate
it with all of your stuff. I know it works with
documents. I'm not sure about images. But we'll
research it. I think what I'm going to do, I'm
going to describe the card so fully. that there
isn't any any room for ambiguity but it's very
hard when i've said nine and i spell it out and
i put nine i said that's not eight desmond and
that's not ten desmond that is nine that is nine
sores these need to be sticking up here and there
they need to be in a row and i'm like and then
i'm at three in the morning i'm like desmond
enough i'm going to bed baby so but um whenever
you see lm In the AI space, think of language
model. Yeah, large language. So the input for
this notebook is going to be all of the data
you put in. If you put in junk, you're going
to get junk. If you put in all of your books.
Well, what I got was amazing. I mean, some of
his artwork is absolutely stunning. And it's
all free. And I have the copyright to it. And
it was just so instant. I mean, it'd take you
a year to put that book together. Just doing
it in a day. I'm excited to see it. It's exhilarating.
