WEBVTT 00:00:02.480 --> 00:00:04.719 From the Dungeons of Morningstar, I'm Clint. 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:07.799 And I'm Stretch. And this is Prevailing Strange. 00:00:19.579 --> 00:00:22.000 This installment of Prevailing Strange is what 00:00:22.000 --> 00:00:24.960 we like to call Rant and Sundry, where we get 00:00:24.960 --> 00:00:27.160 to expand on some of the subjects that we've 00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:30.600 touched on previously this week and maybe follow 00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.229 some tangents down. Some kind of rabbit hole 00:00:33.229 --> 00:00:34.390 where we don't know what we're going to talk 00:00:34.390 --> 00:00:41.149 about. Tall chick get it, you dog. You wrote 00:00:41.149 --> 00:00:43.750 a few things down earlier. I didn't. You didn't. 00:00:43.869 --> 00:00:46.710 Did I? No, I didn't. I thought you were. No, 00:00:46.710 --> 00:00:48.310 I was just writing down. Well, I wrote down the 00:00:48.310 --> 00:00:51.130 audio book you said to listen to. A bit of news 00:00:51.130 --> 00:00:52.950 that I want to talk about next week. The alarm 00:00:52.950 --> 00:00:56.289 from that fantastic freaking four trailer. I'm 00:00:56.289 --> 00:01:00.719 going to say it again. Why? It didn't even need 00:01:00.719 --> 00:01:06.280 to be there. Yeah. Okay. If it's, right, listen. 00:01:09.219 --> 00:01:12.140 Right. If that's coming in from outer space, 00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:16.540 he's already got a ship that goes into space. 00:01:16.879 --> 00:01:21.680 They've already been out there. It's clearly 00:01:21.680 --> 00:01:24.280 in our atmosphere. Do they have satellites yet? 00:01:24.299 --> 00:01:26.659 Because when the fucking Fantastic Four first 00:01:26.659 --> 00:01:29.060 started kicking off, it was like the early 60s 00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:33.739 or whatever. Motherfucker, he's car flies. Yeah, 00:01:33.780 --> 00:01:36.180 but all the other cars are gas guzzlers. Yeah, 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:38.439 but no, but he's got a spaceship. They've got 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:40.739 a black and white TV. Yeah, but he's got a spaceship. 00:01:41.060 --> 00:01:44.359 It's retro, bro. He's got a spaceship. With a 00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.159 big four on it. Yeah, it doesn't mean they've 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:47.780 got satellites. But they've got a spaceship. 00:01:49.099 --> 00:01:52.700 Why were you going out as... Nah. You can't, 00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:55.060 oh, we go out of space, but you don't have satellites. 00:01:55.340 --> 00:01:57.359 No, I don't want to hear it. I don't want to 00:01:57.359 --> 00:01:59.299 hear it. I'm pretty sure we went to space before 00:01:59.299 --> 00:02:02.219 we had satellites. No, no, I don't know. We still 00:02:02.219 --> 00:02:04.180 haven't been, we haven't been, we've only been 00:02:04.180 --> 00:02:07.239 to the moon once. If you've got some sort of, 00:02:07.299 --> 00:02:11.560 okay, all right, how did that alarm go off? What 00:02:11.560 --> 00:02:15.080 was it sensing? What was it sensing? Because 00:02:15.080 --> 00:02:17.400 it was in the atmosphere when the alarm goes 00:02:17.400 --> 00:02:19.139 off. I think you're getting too hung up on this. 00:02:19.719 --> 00:02:22.870 I'm all. I'm more concerned about the beard. 00:02:23.030 --> 00:02:24.830 The beard was weird. No, the beard doesn't bother 00:02:24.830 --> 00:02:28.629 me because rocks are fine. You can do what it 00:02:28.629 --> 00:02:30.050 wants. But he doesn't grow hair on his head. 00:02:30.349 --> 00:02:33.469 He doesn't have hair. He's got rocks. Why is 00:02:33.469 --> 00:02:36.909 he growing hair on his face? Well, as far as 00:02:36.909 --> 00:02:43.449 I knew, and from what I've seen, Michael Chiklis 00:02:43.449 --> 00:02:47.009 was bald, so he could have grown a beard because 00:02:47.009 --> 00:02:50.469 his hair on his head didn't grow. Our new thing 00:02:50.469 --> 00:02:53.710 has hair on his head. But when he's the thing, 00:02:53.810 --> 00:02:56.069 he doesn't have hair on his head. So I don't 00:02:56.069 --> 00:02:58.949 know. Yeah. We still haven't seen John Malkovich 00:02:58.949 --> 00:03:04.590 yet. No. Do you think he could be playing Galactus? 00:03:05.310 --> 00:03:08.490 The beard? The beard. No, Galactus was our cast. 00:03:09.509 --> 00:03:12.770 Who's our cast? I've never heard of him before. 00:03:13.409 --> 00:03:21.699 Was cast. Cut. Look, I don't know. I've got no 00:03:21.699 --> 00:03:24.360 idea. All I know is that I'm really, really, 00:03:24.379 --> 00:03:31.719 really hung up on that alarm. Fair enough. Do 00:03:31.719 --> 00:03:35.120 you have a joke? I've got a couple here. I knew 00:03:35.120 --> 00:03:40.000 you did, you dirty bitch. Okay, go. My wife paid 00:03:40.000 --> 00:03:44.819 $7 ,000 for a boob job. She did. I paid $30 ,000 00:03:44.819 --> 00:03:52.389 for a hand job and I'm the pervert? You got another 00:03:52.389 --> 00:03:54.889 one? I've got a few. Okay. What do you call a 00:03:54.889 --> 00:03:59.669 horse that doesn't fall over? I don't know. Stable. 00:04:05.210 --> 00:04:12.750 Nice. Nice. That was a good one. I love how you 00:04:12.750 --> 00:04:16.430 can pose yourself. I've got to get through it 00:04:16.430 --> 00:04:20.680 without breaking. Okay. Because he's fucking 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:25.040 good at it. It's still one of my favourite shows. 00:04:28.120 --> 00:04:35.680 Okay. What do bars and bras have in common? They 00:04:35.680 --> 00:04:37.720 both got three letters. Doesn't matter how many 00:04:37.720 --> 00:04:39.319 I've seen, I still want to check out inside. 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:43.399 Nice. Hell yeah. No, you're not allowed. We're 00:04:43.399 --> 00:04:46.980 married. It's a joke, mate. Jesus Christ. You're 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:49.819 the only boobs that I want. Not yours, Steffi. 00:04:52.519 --> 00:05:00.839 You got any jokes? I don't. Oh, mate. Okay, go 00:05:00.839 --> 00:05:03.620 on. What's the difference between a kidney bean 00:05:03.620 --> 00:05:07.579 and a chickpea? I don't know. I wouldn't pay 00:05:07.579 --> 00:05:12.420 for a kidney to bean on my face. You've got to 00:05:12.420 --> 00:05:23.459 get through it. Oh, man. Oh, shit. I wouldn't 00:05:23.459 --> 00:05:26.300 pay for a kidney to bean on my face. Kidney to 00:05:26.300 --> 00:05:29.800 pee on your face? Bean. Kidney bean or chickpea. 00:05:29.819 --> 00:05:32.839 I wouldn't pay for a kidney to bean on my face. 00:05:35.839 --> 00:05:42.180 I wish I was a Ryan Gosling. Oh, Jesus. Wait, 00:05:42.300 --> 00:05:45.279 did you hear about the circus fire? No. It was 00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:59.540 intense. You're welcome, by the way. What's smarter 00:05:59.540 --> 00:06:11.639 than a talking dog? A spelling bee. It's so shit. 00:06:11.779 --> 00:06:17.939 It is. Come on, mate. You can't have, not all 00:06:17.939 --> 00:06:21.180 jokes can be good. That's true. Why does a chicken 00:06:21.180 --> 00:06:24.649 coop only have two doors? If it had four, it'd 00:06:24.649 --> 00:06:38.189 be a sedan. Oh, no. This is shit. I can just 00:06:38.189 --> 00:06:44.350 tell myself jokes and get so sore. Oh, God. I'm 00:06:44.350 --> 00:06:46.350 looking at me notes here for what we were talking 00:06:46.350 --> 00:06:49.790 about earlier. I know what I want to say, but 00:06:49.790 --> 00:06:53.040 I can't remember what. The subject we're talking 00:06:53.040 --> 00:06:57.000 about, so if I can bring it up. But I'm going 00:06:57.000 --> 00:06:58.500 to talk about it anyway. Yeah, you know why? 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:00.139 Because we can read here. We can. Go for it. 00:07:01.680 --> 00:07:06.180 So you know the story 101 Dalmatians? Yeah. So 00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:08.819 there was an original, so it's based on a book, 00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:13.740 and there was a sequel to that book. Now, in 00:07:13.740 --> 00:07:17.339 that book, oh, I know what it was. We're talking 00:07:17.339 --> 00:07:19.910 about. The kids and the parents go missing and 00:07:19.910 --> 00:07:23.129 shit like that and stuff got weird. All humans 00:07:23.129 --> 00:07:26.649 disappear from Earth in the sequel to 101 Denimations. 00:07:27.430 --> 00:07:31.110 So it's just dogs. Really? And it gets to a point 00:07:31.110 --> 00:07:35.170 where dogs step up into people's positions to 00:07:35.170 --> 00:07:38.670 run the world as a dog president. And then they're 00:07:38.670 --> 00:07:42.389 telepathic and they're flying. Yeah, it's some 00:07:42.389 --> 00:07:46.449 fucking weird kooky shit, man. Really? Yeah, 00:07:46.509 --> 00:07:48.290 and this shit was written back in the 20s or 00:07:48.290 --> 00:07:50.430 whatever. I don't know what the fucking author 00:07:50.430 --> 00:07:55.149 was smoking. Dude, acid. It was on some good 00:07:55.149 --> 00:07:56.490 shit. Did they have acid in the 20s? I don't 00:07:56.490 --> 00:07:58.050 think they did. I think that was a 60s invention, 00:07:58.269 --> 00:08:00.430 wasn't it? Something like that. But I heard a 00:08:00.430 --> 00:08:06.670 story the other day, and it was a bloke was tripping 00:08:06.670 --> 00:08:10.790 on acid, and he said he was standing there, and 00:08:10.790 --> 00:08:13.990 he sat next to his dog, and he said to his dog, 00:08:15.050 --> 00:08:19.990 What do you call his dog? The dog's name is Buster. 00:08:20.910 --> 00:08:23.290 Good dog name. And he's like, hey, Buster, what's 00:08:23.290 --> 00:08:24.990 going on, man? I'm not feeling good. And the 00:08:24.990 --> 00:08:26.949 dog looked at him and goes, dude, I'd really 00:08:26.949 --> 00:08:28.829 hate that you call me Buster. My name's Dave. 00:08:33.730 --> 00:08:36.769 He's like, okay, Dave, no worries, mate. And 00:08:36.769 --> 00:08:38.509 then the next day after he'd come out of it, 00:08:38.590 --> 00:08:41.269 his dog wouldn't answer to Buster anymore. It 00:08:41.269 --> 00:08:51.610 would only answer to Dave. Fuck off. So his dog 00:08:51.610 --> 00:08:55.049 wouldn't. Buster, come here. Nope. Dave, come 00:08:55.049 --> 00:08:58.570 here. Fucking coming, bro. Trottle over. Come 00:08:58.570 --> 00:09:04.309 on. He talked to his dog and his dog said, that's 00:09:04.309 --> 00:09:06.429 not my name. My name's Dave. And then from there 00:09:06.429 --> 00:09:10.090 on would only answer to Dave. Everyone needs 00:09:10.090 --> 00:09:12.789 to be on acid. Everybody at home. Find your acid. 00:09:12.850 --> 00:09:15.610 Find your shrooms. Go for it. Man, the human 00:09:15.610 --> 00:09:17.990 brain is such a fucking weird and wild thing. 00:09:18.750 --> 00:09:22.769 Like they're using acid and MDMA to treat depression 00:09:22.769 --> 00:09:25.529 and shit these days. Bro, 30 % of your brain 00:09:25.529 --> 00:09:28.529 is used. Yeah, it's rewriting synapses and shit. 00:09:28.710 --> 00:09:31.029 Yeah, that's why I'm so much smarter than everybody 00:09:31.029 --> 00:09:36.269 else. Like when people have accidents and get 00:09:36.269 --> 00:09:39.029 hit on the head and then they wake up as like 00:09:39.029 --> 00:09:43.009 savants, mathematic savants, speaking languages 00:09:43.009 --> 00:09:45.590 they didn't speak before. And, like, these are 00:09:45.590 --> 00:09:49.610 legit studied cases and nobody knows why. Or 00:09:49.610 --> 00:09:52.529 they go and kill people. I don't think. No, I 00:09:52.529 --> 00:09:53.830 think I did hear something about that. Yeah, 00:09:53.830 --> 00:09:56.129 yeah, yeah. Head injuries. Yeah. Head injuries 00:09:56.129 --> 00:09:59.529 turn people into psychopaths. The bloke who played 00:09:59.529 --> 00:10:03.649 half sack in Sons of Anarchy. Yep. So he was 00:10:03.649 --> 00:10:06.250 riding his bike one day, come off, head injury. 00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:11.769 After that, killed his landlord, his landlord's 00:10:11.769 --> 00:10:15.320 dog, and then took his own life. Wow. After the 00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:20.320 hand injury, dude, come on. You either see yourself 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.039 become a hero or you live long enough to see 00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.100 yourself become the villain. You're either Batman 00:10:25.100 --> 00:10:27.919 or the Joker, whichever, flip a coin. You're 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:30.000 two -faced as well then because you're going 00:10:30.000 --> 00:10:34.320 to flip a coin. But you see this shit and you're 00:10:34.320 --> 00:10:41.559 like, I've never got stoned and wanted to fight 00:10:41.559 --> 00:10:44.200 someone. I've never been on mushrooms. and wanted 00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:48.059 to hurt somebody. When I've been drunk, though, 00:10:48.139 --> 00:10:52.559 at a pub, I've been in so many altercations it 00:10:52.559 --> 00:10:56.320 isn't funny. But for some reason, I can go to 00:10:56.320 --> 00:11:00.080 a bottle and buy that. But I can't – well, I 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.879 can now because I've got medicinal weed. So I'll 00:11:03.879 --> 00:11:08.419 go to the chemist and get that now. But I actually 00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:11.000 signed up with Paul Stamets, and they call him 00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:13.769 the godfather of mushrooms, right? So you can 00:11:13.769 --> 00:11:15.590 sign up for his trial, and he's actually doing 00:11:15.590 --> 00:11:17.649 something in the US right now where you can sign 00:11:17.649 --> 00:11:22.289 up for his drug trial. He wants to do as much 00:11:22.289 --> 00:11:24.909 as he can for the medical field, especially the 00:11:24.909 --> 00:11:29.190 brain medicine, where he will put you on something 00:11:29.190 --> 00:11:31.889 he calls the Stamets stack. Only one of these 00:11:31.889 --> 00:11:35.370 mushrooms is hallucinogenic. The rest are things 00:11:35.370 --> 00:11:39.590 like turkey tail, lion's mane, and he'll put 00:11:39.590 --> 00:11:41.870 you on this stack. and he wants you to check 00:11:41.870 --> 00:11:46.169 in every week. It lasted three months, man, and 00:11:46.169 --> 00:11:49.929 the response was overwhelming. There was that 00:11:49.929 --> 00:11:52.429 many people who said nothing but positive things 00:11:52.429 --> 00:11:56.370 about this, and now it's in front of Congress 00:11:56.370 --> 00:12:03.950 to get it passed. I legitimately think that if 00:12:03.950 --> 00:12:07.090 you go to your doctor and you go, look, I'm having 00:12:07.090 --> 00:12:10.960 these thoughts, I'm feeling a certain way, And 00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:14.500 their option is to go straight for a pill. That's 00:12:14.500 --> 00:12:16.240 an issue, man. We've got to talk about that. 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.139 There's so much other shit that you can do for 00:12:20.139 --> 00:12:28.440 your brain. And it's literally, it is, you can 00:12:28.440 --> 00:12:33.679 see it on a scan before mushrooms or LSD, after 00:12:33.679 --> 00:12:36.299 mushrooms and LSD. There is a physical change 00:12:36.299 --> 00:12:38.860 in your synapses. There's a physical change in 00:12:38.860 --> 00:12:42.519 your brain activity. Why aren't more people talking 00:12:42.519 --> 00:12:46.919 about it? It's pretty fascinating. You've never 00:12:46.919 --> 00:12:48.879 had shrooms, have you? No. Dude, I'm telling 00:12:48.879 --> 00:12:50.179 you right now, it's going to change your life. 00:12:51.299 --> 00:12:57.000 You'll watch so many more movies. See, I'm the 00:12:57.000 --> 00:12:59.000 type of person that hallucinates when I get sick. 00:12:59.799 --> 00:13:05.259 So I'm like, I'm worried about, like, not worried, 00:13:05.379 --> 00:13:07.519 but like I've always kind of been a bit standoffish 00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:11.360 about it because I'm like. The first, like that's 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:13.799 why the first time I ever tried any hallucinogenics 00:13:13.799 --> 00:13:18.519 was, we're probably going about eight years ago. 00:13:19.320 --> 00:13:23.440 And I tried DMT. That was my first ever tasting 00:13:23.440 --> 00:13:27.960 of hallucinogenics. And a mate of mine come up 00:13:27.960 --> 00:13:30.120 from down Cardiff and he's like, okay, I've done 00:13:30.120 --> 00:13:32.399 it before. I'm going to be your guide. So we 00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:35.019 sat in my room. It was cool. The lights were 00:13:35.019 --> 00:13:40.799 dimmed and I put on some, it was, Allison Chains, 00:13:40.860 --> 00:13:42.299 the acoustic version. I'm pretty sure you told 00:13:42.299 --> 00:13:44.340 me it was Allison Chains, yeah. And he's like, 00:13:44.460 --> 00:13:45.860 okay, mate, this is what we're going to do. Now, 00:13:45.919 --> 00:13:48.620 a mate of mine, Bo, had brought that DMT for 00:13:48.620 --> 00:13:52.240 me, and he said, you know, take it whenever. 00:13:52.720 --> 00:13:54.519 I'm like, okay. So I sat on it for probably about 00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.080 a year. I wasn't ready. I was going through some 00:13:58.080 --> 00:14:02.740 shit, and I ended up just going, okay, tonight's 00:14:02.740 --> 00:14:04.600 the night. I rang him up, and I go, bro, I'm 00:14:04.600 --> 00:14:06.120 thinking about doing this. He goes, I'm on my 00:14:06.120 --> 00:14:09.149 way. So we come up. and sat with me, and he's 00:14:09.149 --> 00:14:11.090 like, I'm going to guide you. I'm like, right, 00:14:11.129 --> 00:14:17.289 that's sweet. Literally, I went into a different 00:14:17.289 --> 00:14:20.970 dimension. There's no other way to explain it. 00:14:21.289 --> 00:14:25.409 It was like if you watch Star Trek and you're 00:14:25.409 --> 00:14:27.610 going through war. It was like that, and you 00:14:27.610 --> 00:14:29.649 open up into this massive plane. It was incredible, 00:14:29.870 --> 00:14:34.929 beautiful. Dude, I can't. The feelings you get 00:14:34.929 --> 00:14:38.190 from it, you can't explain. Which I find interesting 00:14:38.190 --> 00:14:42.090 because, like, you don't hear about anybody having 00:14:42.090 --> 00:14:46.269 a bad trip with this. Everybody sees the same 00:14:46.269 --> 00:14:49.409 shit. How does everybody see the same stuff, 00:14:49.409 --> 00:14:51.289 dude? Yeah, why is it touching a certain - How 00:14:51.289 --> 00:14:54.210 can Joe Rogan see the same shit I'm seeing when 00:14:54.210 --> 00:14:55.970 we're on opposite sides of the world? Yeah. It's 00:14:55.970 --> 00:14:59.909 so fucking weird. There's a comedian, his name 00:14:59.909 --> 00:15:03.110 is Paul the Joker. He's a Pommie fella, Scouts 00:15:03.110 --> 00:15:06.379 fella. So funny, dude. Fucking funny. His whole 00:15:06.379 --> 00:15:09.240 life, dude. Every tattoo he's got now. He completely 00:15:09.240 --> 00:15:11.379 changed, he said, after he had it. And, like, 00:15:11.539 --> 00:15:17.139 yeah. I am very curious about it. I've seen a 00:15:17.139 --> 00:15:20.700 fucking python, bro. The serpent is with me everywhere. 00:15:20.740 --> 00:15:24.559 I've got a tattoo on my chest. Dude, and that's 00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:29.519 the thing. I would not be where I am today. No. 00:15:30.259 --> 00:15:34.419 No. I would not be where I am today. If it weren't 00:15:34.419 --> 00:15:39.860 for that trip. Because up until that point, I 00:15:39.860 --> 00:15:45.899 was hard against all drugs. Every drug, no. Up 00:15:45.899 --> 00:15:49.519 until that point is when I was like, some drugs 00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:53.379 have a place. If you're going to wake up every 00:15:53.379 --> 00:15:56.340 morning and make yourself stupid, of course. 00:15:56.519 --> 00:15:59.620 It's abuse. It's abuse, isn't it? The fact that 00:15:59.620 --> 00:16:05.210 I'm 42 years old. I've had DMT once. Damn. Whoa. 00:16:07.269 --> 00:16:14.830 Not that old. Yeah, I've had DMT once. I've mentioned 00:16:14.830 --> 00:16:18.590 it a lot in this episode. My mate Emily O 'Brien, 00:16:18.809 --> 00:16:21.149 she was the first person to give me magic mushrooms. 00:16:21.769 --> 00:16:24.990 And I've got more of affinity for magic mushrooms 00:16:24.990 --> 00:16:29.450 than anything else. That there is my big reset. 00:16:29.549 --> 00:16:32.159 If I've had a massive month. And I'm not okay, 00:16:32.379 --> 00:16:37.320 whether it's just bills or shit with life in 00:16:37.320 --> 00:16:40.500 general, owning a small business, what's going 00:16:40.500 --> 00:16:43.379 on in the world today. If I need a hard reset, 00:16:43.580 --> 00:16:47.379 I'll get Rach to make me a tea. And it's just 00:16:47.379 --> 00:16:49.799 literally five grams of mushrooms and I'll make 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:52.299 a lemon tea. I sit back, I sip it, and I just 00:16:52.299 --> 00:16:55.419 zone out for the night. It's four hours. Four 00:16:55.419 --> 00:16:59.750 hours I come back, I feel clear. 90 % of the 00:16:59.750 --> 00:17:01.549 shit that I've been concerned about has worked 00:17:01.549 --> 00:17:04.990 itself out and not through anything I've done, 00:17:05.150 --> 00:17:09.410 not through any other steps that I've taken outside 00:17:09.410 --> 00:17:13.269 of that trip. It's basically just in that moment. 00:17:13.430 --> 00:17:18.670 Like it's led my brain down a path of it's okay, 00:17:18.769 --> 00:17:20.309 mate. Everything's going to be all right. You're 00:17:20.309 --> 00:17:21.849 safe. Nothing's going to fucking – the world's 00:17:21.849 --> 00:17:25.990 not going to end today. And it keeps me going. 00:17:26.170 --> 00:17:28.940 That's awesome. It's the shit, dude. And I try 00:17:28.940 --> 00:17:33.259 to tell everybody that I've ever met that – and 00:17:33.259 --> 00:17:37.339 I'm sort of – in the end, I feel like Joe Rogan 00:17:37.339 --> 00:17:39.400 on podcasts and I tell people about psychedelics. 00:17:40.980 --> 00:17:43.920 But he's not as popular as me. Check out Joe 00:17:43.920 --> 00:17:46.599 Rogan's podcast, Joe Rogan Experience, wherever 00:17:46.599 --> 00:17:50.680 you watch podcasts. Yeah, I've always been curious 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:53.759 about mushrooms. But like I said, when I get 00:17:53.759 --> 00:17:57.500 sick, beavers. I hallucinate and they're not 00:17:57.500 --> 00:18:00.359 always fucking good, man. They're fucking – they're 00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:05.059 pretty wild. And I'm good at telling them apart 00:18:05.059 --> 00:18:07.200 from reality, but for a minute there, they're 00:18:07.200 --> 00:18:10.640 like, what the fuck is going on here? Yeah, right. 00:18:11.819 --> 00:18:14.579 Yeah, so like I can feel for people that are 00:18:14.579 --> 00:18:17.359 like schizophrenic and shit like that. Like if 00:18:17.359 --> 00:18:21.400 you're living with what I have to cope with once 00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:24.720 in a blue moon, they're – Doing that every day 00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:30.099 now. Every day. Well, the worst, there was one 00:18:30.099 --> 00:18:34.339 trip I had, and I can legitimately tell you down 00:18:34.339 --> 00:18:36.960 to the strain of what sort of reaction I'm going 00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:39.599 to have. So I've got a mate of mine who grows 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:43.079 his own mushrooms. That's for me when I want 00:18:43.079 --> 00:18:45.819 to have a great time, when I'm just like literally 00:18:45.819 --> 00:18:48.259 I sat there with Jack and laughed for an hour. 00:18:49.440 --> 00:18:53.750 Then I've got another strain. which will, it's 00:18:53.750 --> 00:18:59.109 more introspective. Like it's more, hey, dude, 00:18:59.190 --> 00:19:01.549 what's going on? Figure this shit out, sort it 00:19:01.549 --> 00:19:02.950 out, tell yourself what you need to tell yourself 00:19:02.950 --> 00:19:05.789 and let's move forward. And then there's another 00:19:05.789 --> 00:19:07.789 one where I just want to see some cool shit. 00:19:10.910 --> 00:19:15.990 The ones where I have the introspective, I've 00:19:15.990 --> 00:19:18.390 had that once and it was only by mistake because 00:19:18.390 --> 00:19:19.710 I didn't know what that strain was going to do 00:19:19.710 --> 00:19:23.829 to me. So I've had that and I was laying in bed 00:19:23.829 --> 00:19:30.329 with Rach and I'm like, I had a rough month, 00:19:30.369 --> 00:19:33.089 dude. I was really struggling and I'm like, I 00:19:33.089 --> 00:19:36.250 don't know what the fuck to do. I don't know 00:19:36.250 --> 00:19:39.349 how to get over this point. I'll have a tea. 00:19:40.170 --> 00:19:43.910 I had a tea and then I literally was laying in 00:19:43.910 --> 00:19:47.730 bed with her and Jack and I'm like, who am I 00:19:47.730 --> 00:19:50.990 if I'm not your husband and Logan's dad? Am I 00:19:50.990 --> 00:19:56.230 anybody? If I died tomorrow, what's going to 00:19:56.230 --> 00:20:02.890 be the effect of that? Will rain miss me? Will 00:20:02.890 --> 00:20:06.289 Logan realise I'm gone? Is it just going to be 00:20:06.289 --> 00:20:11.589 the fact that the bills keep piling up? What's 00:20:11.589 --> 00:20:14.690 going to happen after that point? If I stop existing 00:20:14.690 --> 00:20:18.890 today, what happens tomorrow? And then in the 00:20:18.890 --> 00:20:22.180 end I was like, is there any reassurance you 00:20:22.180 --> 00:20:25.380 can give me? And she's like, I think this is 00:20:25.380 --> 00:20:27.859 something you're going through on your own and 00:20:27.859 --> 00:20:31.940 I know for a fact that if you weren't to come 00:20:31.940 --> 00:20:34.119 home tomorrow that your son would be absolutely 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:37.160 gutted. And I'm like, yeah, but that's just nailing 00:20:37.160 --> 00:20:39.559 home the fact that am I anyone other than Logan's 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:45.940 dad? And then the other day he had a sleepover 00:20:45.940 --> 00:20:49.190 at Brett Naz's. And she told me when I got there 00:20:49.190 --> 00:20:52.609 the next day, she goes, he was up last night 00:20:52.609 --> 00:20:55.529 and he wouldn't go to bed. I'm like, why? She 00:20:55.529 --> 00:20:59.950 goes, because he couldn't go to sleep because 00:20:59.950 --> 00:21:03.769 you didn't tuck him in. And I'm like, okay. And 00:21:03.769 --> 00:21:05.150 she goes, he didn't know whether you were going 00:21:05.150 --> 00:21:08.009 to come back in the morning. I'm like, all right. 00:21:09.630 --> 00:21:12.069 And then I said to him, what's up, mate? And 00:21:12.069 --> 00:21:14.069 he goes, you're my best friend, daddy. I didn't 00:21:14.069 --> 00:21:17.849 know where you were. And I'm like, okay. So that 00:21:17.849 --> 00:21:20.369 brought me back to then. I'm not just his dad. 00:21:21.130 --> 00:21:24.329 I'm not just the bill payer. I'm someone's best 00:21:24.329 --> 00:21:27.230 friend. And when I'm not around, he misses me. 00:21:28.589 --> 00:21:33.309 So it calls back to shit. And it sort of puts 00:21:33.309 --> 00:21:35.769 a bit of oil on that squeaky part. It's like, 00:21:35.869 --> 00:21:39.029 okay, now you're lubricated. Now you know. And 00:21:39.029 --> 00:21:45.460 I've never had a bad trip. Never. To hear that 00:21:45.460 --> 00:21:46.880 you're someone's best friend even though he's 00:21:46.880 --> 00:21:49.079 six years old and that even when you're not there 00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:51.779 that he still remembers that daddy tucks me in. 00:21:51.940 --> 00:21:55.640 Yeah. It fucking, yeah. Yeah. You'll never hear 00:21:55.640 --> 00:21:58.619 me say a bad word about psychedelics, dude. Nice. 00:21:59.319 --> 00:22:02.480 I love it. Yeah. I love it. And I love being 00:22:02.480 --> 00:22:05.299 my six -year -old son's best friend. That's good. 00:22:05.799 --> 00:22:08.859 If that's all you are, that's fucking fantastic, 00:22:09.059 --> 00:22:10.400 man. It's pretty fucking good, isn't it? Yeah. 00:22:10.579 --> 00:22:12.720 You know you're much better than that. No, that's 00:22:12.720 --> 00:22:15.920 right. And like I said to him, Nugget posted 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.339 the other day on social media. He's like, what 00:22:19.339 --> 00:22:22.359 motivates people? What motivates you to get out 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:26.740 of bed? And I'm like, the bills and to give my 00:22:26.740 --> 00:22:31.859 kids the life that I never got. And that's not 00:22:31.859 --> 00:22:34.359 just a financial giving the life that I never 00:22:34.359 --> 00:22:39.960 got. It's to be a provider, a teacher, a nurturer, 00:22:40.059 --> 00:22:43.259 be present. Be present, dude. Fuck a nice one. 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:46.220 Be present because at the end of the day, you 00:22:46.220 --> 00:22:49.779 can be a father. That doesn't mean you're a dad. 00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:51.900 You can be a father. That doesn't mean you're 00:22:51.900 --> 00:22:56.839 present. I was always told, I don't have to like 00:22:56.839 --> 00:22:58.400 you. You've got a roof over your head and clothes 00:22:58.400 --> 00:23:03.940 on your back. That's shit. It's not something 00:23:03.940 --> 00:23:09.220 you say to your son. No. And to hear that. It 00:23:09.220 --> 00:23:12.099 fucks you. That's something I could never, ever. 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.000 Like, every day I drop Jack off. He's 17 years 00:23:15.000 --> 00:23:17.279 old. I'll drop him off at school. Last thing 00:23:17.279 --> 00:23:19.460 he does before he gets out of the car, hugs me 00:23:19.460 --> 00:23:21.079 to the point where he nearly breaks my ribs. 00:23:21.880 --> 00:23:24.259 And he's like, God, you're getting old. Yeah, 00:23:24.400 --> 00:23:28.319 be gentle with me, bro. But, yeah, get a hug 00:23:28.319 --> 00:23:31.240 from your kids. It's fucking sick, dude. Fucking 00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:35.400 hell. Wow, we've really gone down this. This 00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:37.740 isn't about movies anymore, is it? Getting a 00:23:37.740 --> 00:23:41.140 bit somber. Tell me something about your day. 00:23:42.819 --> 00:23:46.980 I'm going to watch Landon's in a production at 00:23:46.980 --> 00:23:50.339 school this afternoon. Let's go. Yeah, go check 00:23:50.339 --> 00:23:53.220 him out. Should be pretty funny. Pretty fun. 00:23:53.519 --> 00:23:58.160 Dude, your kid is so sick. He's so smart, dude. 00:23:58.579 --> 00:24:01.279 Holy shit, he could teach me some shit. Oh, yeah. 00:24:01.440 --> 00:24:07.819 He's super smart. Flat out. And then you've got 00:24:07.819 --> 00:24:18.559 Thea. The hammer. The hammer. It's funny, Landon, 00:24:18.579 --> 00:24:22.759 he gets so kind of overexcited about subjects. 00:24:23.059 --> 00:24:25.500 I look at him and I'm like, fuck, that was me. 00:24:25.559 --> 00:24:29.599 I'd go to school and I'd talk about, you know, 00:24:29.640 --> 00:24:32.380 movies I'd watched on fucking SBS, like fucking 00:24:32.380 --> 00:24:36.099 Godzilla. So you talk back then about movies 00:24:36.099 --> 00:24:37.819 you watch, but now you just don't bother watching 00:24:37.819 --> 00:24:40.619 them. I get it. I had more time then. I was fucking 00:24:40.619 --> 00:24:44.700 – I had nothing else on. Watching, you know, 00:24:44.759 --> 00:24:47.299 Godzilla or other kaiju movies when they weren't 00:24:47.299 --> 00:24:51.279 the rage. Watching fucking The Guyver because 00:24:51.279 --> 00:24:53.579 I rented it because – but nobody else had heard 00:24:53.579 --> 00:24:55.859 about it. Dude. Going to school, talking about 00:24:55.859 --> 00:24:58.279 these movies, and just no other kid that I knew 00:24:58.279 --> 00:25:02.180 was really kind of aware or interested. And I 00:25:02.180 --> 00:25:07.299 remember kind of feeling – you know, ridiculed 00:25:07.299 --> 00:25:10.259 because I'd, you know, fucking kids, man. Fuck 00:25:10.259 --> 00:25:12.859 kids is shit. I mean, I look at Landon and he 00:25:12.859 --> 00:25:16.160 gets overexcited about things. I'm like, where 00:25:16.160 --> 00:25:18.680 do you draw the line? Do I tell him that, you 00:25:18.680 --> 00:25:21.220 know, it's all right to rein that back to be 00:25:21.220 --> 00:25:24.680 excited about things because you got to, you 00:25:24.680 --> 00:25:26.380 know, you want to fit him with people? Yeah. 00:25:26.940 --> 00:25:30.039 Or do I let him be him? Like, I don't know what 00:25:30.039 --> 00:25:32.359 the fuck I can do with that. Dude, if he can 00:25:32.359 --> 00:25:36.509 be him with you. Let it go. Yeah. Let it go. 00:25:36.630 --> 00:25:39.410 If you show him how excited you get about his 00:25:39.410 --> 00:25:41.910 news, then he'll just hold it for you. He'll 00:25:41.910 --> 00:25:44.470 be like, oh, I see the way my dad reacts, so 00:25:44.470 --> 00:25:49.029 I'll just tell him. And then the kids at school, 00:25:49.049 --> 00:25:50.809 if they're giving him grief and shit, then he'll 00:25:50.809 --> 00:25:52.309 be like, oh, fuck you, I won't tell you shit. 00:25:53.049 --> 00:25:55.670 I'll get home and tell my dad. That's the thing. 00:25:55.750 --> 00:26:01.990 He's got this thing where I think he thinks that 00:26:01.990 --> 00:26:04.859 it's better to be. friends with everybody than 00:26:04.859 --> 00:26:08.680 it is to kind of get that connection with a small 00:26:08.680 --> 00:26:12.640 group. His people. So, yeah, it's funny. Yeah, 00:26:12.660 --> 00:26:17.960 I don't know. That's something with owning a 00:26:17.960 --> 00:26:19.880 business as well. Like you want to be friends 00:26:19.880 --> 00:26:22.440 with everybody. Yeah. And you want to make sure 00:26:22.440 --> 00:26:24.500 that, you know, they're all happy and everything's 00:26:24.500 --> 00:26:26.740 okay. At the end of the day, though, your sanity 00:26:26.740 --> 00:26:31.259 needs to come first. Yeah. Because, well, I'm 00:26:31.259 --> 00:26:36.420 perfect. Like at one point, man, we had 18 tattooers 00:26:36.420 --> 00:26:39.900 here. Twelve. And then like we had 18 different 00:26:39.900 --> 00:26:41.819 personalities all gelling together and it was 00:26:41.819 --> 00:26:46.980 a great time. And then through like economic 00:26:46.980 --> 00:26:50.480 shit and us being out here in the sticks, you 00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:52.500 know, everyone's moved into Newcastle. They've 00:26:52.500 --> 00:26:54.559 all done their own thing. They're all, you know, 00:26:54.640 --> 00:26:58.460 got their own path. And, dude, I love them and 00:26:58.460 --> 00:27:01.910 I miss them all the time. Yeah. Can't blame them. 00:27:02.069 --> 00:27:04.009 You can't blame them, though. You can't expect 00:27:04.009 --> 00:27:08.490 somebody to be in your circle 90 % of the time 00:27:08.490 --> 00:27:10.970 when they're their own people as well. That's 00:27:10.970 --> 00:27:15.509 right. And that's like I miss talking to them 00:27:15.509 --> 00:27:18.529 every single day, but the fact that they've gone 00:27:18.529 --> 00:27:20.230 out on their own. And there's some of them that 00:27:20.230 --> 00:27:22.910 came to us and that were working here that didn't 00:27:22.910 --> 00:27:27.910 really have their own bearings and didn't really 00:27:27.910 --> 00:27:32.220 have their own. their own voice as such. And 00:27:32.220 --> 00:27:34.339 then they found it and moved on. I'm like, fuck, 00:27:34.400 --> 00:27:37.500 you can't be mad at that. No. You can't be mad 00:27:37.500 --> 00:27:39.579 at that. You can't be mad at someone progressing 00:27:39.579 --> 00:27:43.859 beyond and growing beyond your world. Like, you've 00:27:43.859 --> 00:27:45.920 got to, you know, fucking pat them on the back 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:47.940 and, you know, hit them on the ass and go, go 00:27:47.940 --> 00:27:52.599 get them, tiger. Fucking get it. Yeah. And, like, 00:27:52.680 --> 00:27:55.119 there's so many people out there that if they've 00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.519 got an apprentice in the tattoo industry. and 00:27:58.519 --> 00:28:00.680 that apprentice moves on, apparently they've 00:28:00.680 --> 00:28:04.440 got to be your enemy. No fucking way, dude. If, 00:28:04.559 --> 00:28:06.880 like, my apprentice Gunsy, she's just got her 00:28:06.880 --> 00:28:10.700 own little stew over at Maitland. Fuck, dude, 00:28:10.720 --> 00:28:13.920 I'm so proud of her. To come from, you know, 00:28:13.920 --> 00:28:16.039 to someone who used to doubt her own artistic 00:28:16.039 --> 00:28:19.000 abilities to now just, like, no, I am fucking 00:28:19.000 --> 00:28:21.960 good enough to do this shit. I can do it myself. 00:28:22.559 --> 00:28:24.680 You can't help but pat someone on the back and 00:28:24.680 --> 00:28:28.049 say fucking congratulations, dude. And then you've 00:28:28.049 --> 00:28:29.930 got other people that go and do a music festival 00:28:29.930 --> 00:28:32.230 after they've ripped off hundreds of people of 00:28:32.230 --> 00:28:36.250 thousands of dollars. And I'm like, what the 00:28:36.250 --> 00:28:38.410 fuck, dude? You should not be a tattoo artist. 00:28:38.529 --> 00:28:40.549 He is so bad. I'm not going to mention his name 00:28:40.549 --> 00:28:43.190 on here because he's a fucking dick anyway. But 00:28:43.190 --> 00:28:48.529 it's, yeah, there's some people that shouldn't 00:28:48.529 --> 00:28:53.890 do this shit. And then there's people that definitely 00:28:53.890 --> 00:28:58.250 should. That's one thing I like about the tattoo 00:28:58.250 --> 00:29:02.109 industry these days is it's that paradigm shift 00:29:02.109 --> 00:29:06.130 to it's more about the creativity than it was 00:29:06.130 --> 00:29:08.410 about its fucking roots. It was just pick and 00:29:08.410 --> 00:29:10.450 stick back in the day. There's something on the 00:29:10.450 --> 00:29:12.390 wall, great, I'll get it down, photocopy it and 00:29:12.390 --> 00:29:15.549 stencil it up, that's what you get. But now, 00:29:15.549 --> 00:29:20.150 dude, there's so much shit. Like that there, 00:29:20.250 --> 00:29:23.990 that was done by my friend Misty and she gets 00:29:23.990 --> 00:29:28.890 stoned. And does all these dots. Yeah. Dude, 00:29:28.930 --> 00:29:31.450 you should see the shit she's done. Yeah. It's 00:29:31.450 --> 00:29:34.089 fucking incredible. But that's her artistic outlet. 00:29:34.289 --> 00:29:38.490 Like she's got, if, you know, she has a bad day, 00:29:38.630 --> 00:29:42.150 she'll get stoned, sit down and do a dot. Yeah. 00:29:42.190 --> 00:29:45.329 But it's so cool that there's like a, when I 00:29:45.329 --> 00:29:51.690 say accessible, to an extent, tattooing is accessible 00:29:51.690 --> 00:29:55.910 as a. medium for creative people. Absolutely. 00:29:56.410 --> 00:29:59.750 Like there's not a lot of kind of creative outlets 00:29:59.750 --> 00:30:04.710 where you can get that instant kind of monetary 00:30:04.710 --> 00:30:07.809 fucking return. Where you see the creation and 00:30:07.809 --> 00:30:10.410 then you get, like if you do a painting, that 00:30:10.410 --> 00:30:12.049 painting could sit on the wall for fucking years 00:30:12.049 --> 00:30:14.430 before you see any sort of give back. A lot of 00:30:14.430 --> 00:30:17.910 artists will have to sit and wait and wait and 00:30:17.910 --> 00:30:21.599 wait until they make it. This is a creative outlet. 00:30:21.779 --> 00:30:23.799 Yeah, dude. And I can pay my bills with it. Yeah. 00:30:25.740 --> 00:30:33.180 I love that for me. Sometimes. Sometimes. But, 00:30:33.220 --> 00:30:35.599 yeah. But, yeah. That's all I've got time for 00:30:35.599 --> 00:30:39.619 today, buddy. Awesome.
