Music Hello, my little chilluminos. Ugh. Back to another chillmini. You guys listen to this and you imagine that you guys are in, like, little spacesuits. Like, do you guys imagine, like, you are chilluminots? Like, you're, like, astronauts? Why can't they be, like, chillumiverse?

Why can't they be, like, B.C. Boatsman? Sailing, sailing the ocean. The Argonauts. The Argonaut is going. B.C. Boatsman sounds like some kind of, like, boat impresario from the Chicago World's Fair. B.C. Boatsman. B.C. Boatsman's in electronic canoe. Oh, my God.

I know we got some fun stories to get to today, but I want to say I'm so proud of all my listeners. I got a DM today on Twitter that I just want to read real quick because it is just, you're clearly learning and you're clearly picking up. Now how can you say, oh, because I don't, that seems like a stretch to me. I imagine this one person speaks for the tens of thousands of people that listen to this. I hope it's, like, listen up, chilluma bitches. It says, hey, not sure if you noticed in the news, but the Pope's over in the Middle East doing Pope things, like making peace between religions. Clearly, this is a step in the disclosure process to unite major religions of the world before severely altering the biggest missing piece, aliens to solidify unity on Earth. So thank you.

I agree. That is true. Rail was right, baby. The Raelians were right. Nope. We should be having that much sex with anyone that we want. No, we should be. Easy.

Oh, no. No, no, we know. Got it. Not anyone, not anyone. Jesse Cucks. What? I thought anyone. Jesse.

Look, you all can do that crappy voice. My little Chalessi knots, Chalessi knots. Chalessi knots? My little Chalessi knots. I hate that. You're the next time. Hello, my little Chalessi knots. Hello!

Chalessi knots. Hello, boys and ghouls. What did you bring me today for the Chill Mini? Bring me your sacrifices, gentlemen. Okay. So this, there was a thing that happened this week on the Twitters that I want to bring you guys in on if you guys missed it. There is a TikTok user called Samantha Hartso, something like that.

And there was a Twitter account called Shea Mills that picked it up and it went viral. And the TikTok is that she is like inside of her like New York apartment. And she's like feeling this like sort of like this is crazy. She's feeling this breeze coming from like her. Yes. I didn't see this. Okay. Like the side of her door or something.

She doesn't know what it is. And then she eventually realizes like there's like vents in her house and none of those are really like causing the wind. They think it's coming out of light switch. They're like, what the hell is going on? And then they realize it's behind the mirror. So then that's like the first TikTok was like, because you know, they can only be like a minute long, right?

So she sees this like, she feels this like wind coming out from behind your mirror. The next, the next TikTok is her like removing the mirror and there's like a sort of like eye height square hole in the wall that leads into an open room behind the mirror. And then also like a doorway beyond that, that leads to who knows where and they're just like, is there somebody living in here? You know, like we always go through those stories of people like living in people's addicts and stuff like, you know, and so they're like, what the hell is this? And then the account goes dark for like 12 hours or something like that.

And everybody on the internet was like, what the hell is happening? Did they die when they went in there? Like what is going on? Cause it literally ends with them being like, here we go. So that was like crazy. I was there for this as this was happening. So I was like, I followed this person. I was like, what is going on?

What's happening? Uh, the next morning, uh, another one goes up where she tries to climb into her hips, like don't quite fit through the, uh, through the door, which is like really funny. This is like classic me climbing out of a window. So she goes one foot after the other and gets here like, like one foot on one side of the wall stuck and the other foot on the other side of the wall, which is like classic me. And then she crawls inside and she's like, Oh my God, there's like stuff in here. So she goes inside and inside the wall is an entire other apartment.

And inside the apartment, there's like trash. Some stuff is like stuff that people have been using. There's like, uh, some like a water bottle there. That's like not that old. It's like a core water bottle. Yeah. And the reason, and the reason there's the reason there's wind coming through her, uh, through her mirror is because all the windows in this apartment

are wide open, which is like crazy. Right. This is like kind of a New York apartment thing. And I don't know what kind of rent she's paying for this fucking place. Maybe this is like the COVID like, you know, prices going down type thing. But she is in this place that is like, must be beautiful because this other apartment has like a downstairs. It's like a condo vibe.

It leads to another doorway somewhere else in her building. She's able to walk out into her building and then walk back up to her apartment, like through the building, but it's just like a, just like a totally empty apartment behind her apartment. And it was unbelievable. And, uh, I wish that you all got the chance to be along on that ride. Uh, nobody knows exactly why there's that going on. But some people say that, uh, you know, for some apartments, they have like

alternate entrances to apartments for when you're not home. So they can come in and fix stuff, uh, which is like really creepy. And, uh, some people are worried that she's going to get higher rent, uh, which I guess can happen in New York for this type of reason, uh, because technically she, she found another house inside her house in a way. But can you just, can you imagine like finding like an apartment inside your bathroom here? At least I don't know what to think.

I feel like I'd freak out once I saw a water bottle in there, honestly. Yeah. Like I'd be like, Oh, somebody's here. Somebody's here. Yep. Bye. Did I tell you about the bridge that the guy went inside of? Did we do that on here?

Like the Reddit post where the guy goes inside the bridge? I can't remember. I think so. I think you told us about something very similar, but it might've also been a tube in a, there's so many of these. He finds like a bloody condom in the corner and like a, like a, like a porn on the wall that like has like weird, like serial killers. We never talked about this.

Nope. Nope. Nope. We did not. That might have been one that I left out of the 69 episode. I can't remember. Yeah, right. And fair enough.

Wow. Jesus, that's creepy as shit. People finding shit inside their walls is a great rabbit hole to go down on the internet, by the way. I'm, uh, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, uh, lighten the mood a little bit with a story from a, from a viewer, uh, from a listener rather over on the subreddit simply titled my talks with God. Oh my.

By a toxic mischief. I like the name. Um, a few weeks ago, I had an unusual dream. Now I'm not a believer in God, but I'm not one to immediately say believing in something like that is dumb. So why God would want to talk to me is something he would only know. I say he, because it'll make sense in context a little later. Anyways, I remember being in an all white and endless space, very ethereal.

And in front of me was a white chair, like a tall back thrown. Originally there was no one there. And then as with most, most streams, suddenly there was. And it was Morgan Freeman. What? It was like the God from Bruce Almighty. Yes. Yes.

Now I know this sounds silly and I'm well aware of that. I asked why I was dreaming about Morgan Freeman and was told he had taken on the appearance of someone that would be more acceptable to my mind. I have taken on the appearance of somebody more acceptable to your mind. I have taken on the appearance. Morgan Freeman. It was Morgan Freeman and that's wild. Through a short conversation, I had begun to trust Morgan.

And so he asked how he could like you're on a first name basis. He won't do it. He showed up listening to Morgan. Freedom showed up in my dreams. Like maybe we would be Morgan, Morgan, Morgan. Hello. So I started to tell him about the things that things bothering me. My job, money woes and a friend who had become ill.

And I had no idea knowing how she would be. To which he assured me he would make sure she was OK. The last thing I remembered, Mr. Freeman telling me, you see, he went from Morgan to Mr. Freeman, I'll be losing my shit this whole dream. I'll be like, what are you doing here? Why are you the one for Bruce Almighty? The real God does Morgan Freeman to saw the film and I was just so inspired.

The last thing I remember, Mr. Freeman telling me was that it was time to wake up. And so I did. I looked at my phone and saw it was only a few minutes before my alarm was to go off all through the day. I couldn't help but think about the dream I had, but never really expected anything else. That was until last night, as of this as of writing this,

the story is from 24 days ago. So 25 days ago, we have a Morgan Freeman update. That benevolent Morgan Freeman came back. This time he was curious of how things had gone. Is there any other kind? Yeah, I'd say. Uh, this time he was curious of how things had gone since our previous talk. Asked how my job was going.

And I told him I was looking for something as a graphic designer, which, hey, if anyone can help me out, wink, wink, what? That I was still struggling financially, but felt steadier. And I was still keeping my friend and my thoughts in my heart. Again, he told me it was time to wake up as I was going to be late. And so I did an hour after my alarm, but still enough time to get ready and to make it work. Now, I don't really have any solid explanation for this.

Why would God visit a non nonbeliever just to check in? So it has to be aliens, right? Yes, sir, you are correct. Yeah, I'm not so certain. Honestly, I think it was my brain subconsciously forming a sort of dream therapist to just help out and get things that I'd been ruminating on sorted, which if that's the case, and it wasn't something a little more out there, then I'm actually proud of my brain because I've woken up since those dreams

more motivated, albeit slightly confused. So I tried to keep this somewhat short anyways. I hope you enjoy reading about my talks. And if he shows up again, I'll be sure to let you know. I think that's great. He's in Now You See Me Too. If you talk to him again. Ask him why he said yes to that one.

Man had to pay some bills. I guess every actor gets a has a movie or two under their sleeves. That's just pure money. I love that story. I think that's great. I look, it doesn't matter if it's God or if it's aliens. It's just his brain. The idea that like in his brain, a motivational like at night while he

sleeps, a motivational Morgan Freeman comes in and is like, so I got this. Like, I think that's awesome. I think that's so cool. I do too. I don't even care what the answer is. I just like that it's happening. You want to you want to know something fucked up, though? You know, that movie Last Vegas, like the old guys in Vegas movie

with like Robert Nero and stuff. Yeah, that movie came out eight years ago. Yeah, I've never seen it. So well, you know, that was supposed to be that was supposed to be like his like old guy. Yeah, you know, we're we're done with the film industry, but he's made like 10 movies since then. Yeah, they are the man who only knows acting going to do when he retires from

not a fucking sit in a chair in a beautiful house and look out over the ocean because people out in the world love you so much that they imagine you're God. I mean, yeah, very true. Jesse, yo, OK, the baton to you. Well, as we all know, Katnip repels insects. It has been a fact for what? Yeah, OK. Yeah, all right. Say that because I think people in the audience would,

but I don't know that we're out there like the three guys who know this. But no, apparently it is a fact. Katnip repels insects. All right. Now scientists have finally figured out how exactly it does it. So there is an active component, something in Katnip that causes insects to like run away in fear like cinnamon vibes, kind of. So basically there is something in all animals from flatworms to people

that is dubbed T.R.P.A. one. And this this it's like a thing where essentially it's how we respond to the environment and irritants within it, like heat, cold, tear gas, wasabi, like all those things. It's how we respond to things that like it's the part of our body that's like, they say it's not good. We need to they oh, no, let's go, right? It's the part of your body that's like, we got to get out of here.

And Katnip has that effect on bugs. Yet for some reason is euphoric on feline. Same thing when you talk about like spicy food, right? For humans, we're like, yeah, spicy food, but other animals are like, that's insane. Get away from that. Spice me out. Yeah. And so studies, you know, they've done this before that has shown that Katnip is widely used by many people and many places to like keep insects out.

But they never really knew why they never really could figure it out why. So what they did is they did a study because science is awesome. And they were like, let's pull apart Katnip genetically and compounds and all the shit. And let's figure out what inside Katnip causes this. And so it's something called nepotalactone. Nepotalactone. Set Klingon. It sounds like it.

Nepotalactone. And basically what they did things like they put it on one side of a Petri dish and then the other side will be empty and like fruit flies will lay eggs on the empty side. Mosquitoes, if you put two hands in a like, like a, I don't know, a test area. The hand covered in the nepotalactone. No mosquitoes would try to draw blood from that hand. That kind of thing where they would just keep testing. And what they did is I think is the coolest part is then they took insects

that had been genetically modified to lack TRPA one. What? They had no of like they the plant didn't bother them. So they they basically figured out like, all right, we know exactly what it is and something else. Right. They took out the part like sign. They signed the show of it. They like removed parts of life.

Yeah. Bugs can enjoy catnip now. Finally. Well, I'm sure that was lab and I'm pretty sure they're all dead. Yeah. Um, yeah. And so they suggest that the TRPA one in insects that is, you know, triggered there is because of nepotalactone, which is a crazy thing to say.

And, uh, yeah, so shout out to Northwestern University and all the people there who did that and how, you know, they were talking about just, you know, catnip didn't, you know, evolve in some way to keep insects away. Right. Cause people were like, well, why would catnip do that? Cause insects aren't like going to catnip and like, yeah, we're going to destroy this plant. I think it just, I think like maybe it just like came that way because of other things

nibbling it, right? Like, you know, plants create spicy seed pods, which is what peppers are really because things would come along and eat them. So at some point in its long history, catnip, something was eating it, who knows what. And now modern day insects are afraid of it because it genetically modified in some way. And I think that's fascinating. And now we know that, uh, yeah, for some reason, maybe it could literally be, I don't know, I was like saber tooth.

So who knows who knows what originally caused it to like become that way. But here we are. And so I think it's tires pissing on. Who knows? Who knows? And that's catnip was born. Yep. Uh, fascinating.

Well, thank you so much for bringing us all those wonderful things. And thank you for that wonderful Morgan Freeman God story. We very much appreciate it. Good stuff. We'll be back next week. Thank you, Patriot, for supporting us as always. We'll see you next time. Goodbye.

Peace. Peace. Let's go places. Hello, my little chluminauts and welcome to the next chill mini episode 42. Not even complain about it anymore. Thank you. I appreciate that. Just people seem to just love it when you're a pervert.

We're probably just pulling in some sort of sick ASMR demo. Call me a lech. It's better. It sounds. It's like an old witch. I'm channeling that revenge of the Sith Palpatine. Yeah. That was very palpsy.

Yeah. Welcome to the chill mini on my wonderful patrons. Thanks so much for your support as always. I don't know what the boys have, but I've got a dream interpretation for Jeff with Jesse this week. I've got a little article. If you want me to jump in real quick. Yeah.

Okay. So this is about Dyson spheres, which I don't know if you remember about Dyson spheres, but the game in early access called the Dyson sphere project. You can play right now. Oh, there you go. Perfect. Then I don't need to explain any further. No, I'm just kidding.

You know, the, you know, the member that was like the Tabby star a couple months ago or something where people were looking at it and they were like, I don't know what's going on with this star. There's something going on with it. One guy was like, I think there's a giant Dyson sphere built around it and he was like, oh, I remember that. Yeah. So that concept of putting a Dyson sphere around a star is like the

point of this story, but it's used in a totally different way because this guy Alexi Turchin, who's like a transhumanist has like self published a paper about extending human life. And basically they're looking at this way of bringing people back to life via a quantum random generator. Okay. So if you think about a resurrection of all people who ever lived based on the principle of using the quantum random generator to create a random mind

within a computer and you use the many worlds interpretation to imagine that all possible minds that ever were were resurrected as that mind in different timelines. It creates a sort of immortality that people talk about sometimes called immortality for self where obviously like it's not like a consumer resurrection where like, oh man, my grandpa died. I want to just resurrect him so I can be with my grandpa again. But it does solve the problem of my grandpa dying and then being reborn

exactly how he was in a computer somewhere so that he can now continue existing forever. Right. And theoretically if you think about the fact that there's infinite universes doing it once in one universe using the quantum random number generator does it in all universes using super intelligent AI. But the amount of energy that it would require to do something like that would require the type of energy that you would need to get from building

a Dyson sphere around a star. You probably couldn't do around our star because it would probably fuck up everything life on Earth. Yeah. But you know, it's obviously just like in the same sort of zone as like cryogenic stuff where it's like we got the idea and we got half of it working but the important half is not working. It's like that type of deal.

But you know, I just think it's an interesting thing to think about in terms of like ways that humans can exist beyond, you know. It has similar vibes to it has similar vibes to the quantum immortality kind of theory where like you never die in this one. Your your consciousness gets shoved to shoved over into the one of the countless but the closest reality to the one you were in and where you survive. It sounds so depressing to me that like we're all just going to slowly

realize that we're the only person who's not going to ever die. And then the rest of our life exists beyond the normal lifespan of a human until we outlive the entire human race and all of Earth and everything. Kind of weird. It's like the ultimate vampire tragedy. Yeah, right. The one vampire who never never gets taken out by anybody else. Yeah.

Well, it is. I like thought experiments like that are fascinating in general to me. I love the idea of like, you know, it was that video game from the Amnesia creators that also has that kind of similar idea. Idea. What is it? So was it Soma? Yes.

Soma. Correct. Uploading yourself into a machine and launching yourself out into space and all that stuff. It's a heavy game. But the thing about that game and the thing about all those things, even I think there was a Johnny Depp movie is that's like the moral quandaries. It goes back to Star Trek.

Transporter. Is it you? Is it you? Yeah. If you're uploading yourself onto the Internet, that's just your memories. That's not you. Right. That's just computer being like pretending to be you, which is a whole other thing.

So if it is exactly you. Well, then what you're asking is proofers of a soul. I mean, that would be the only thing that differentiates you. If a computer is exactly you, what's the difference between meet you and computer you beyond a potential soul? Well, so you're both existing at the same time. Yes. Well, then yes, then you're two different people entirely.

And then and more importantly, it's, you know, the you that is now the computer has a different reality than the you you have because the computer is limitless and can do things you couldn't do. So now you have a different perspective. It would be like if you gave me some sort of superpower, I would not be Jesse. I am now. I would use that shit for evil. Well, at least you know you would lose a free.

Yeah. Would you spare us? Well, I mean, what's my superpower? Right. If it's like, you know, name a superpower, I'll tell you how I'd use it. Super strength. Super strength. I would break my bulletproof question.

No, you're just super strong. All right. I would I would try out for a football team. And I would all the way, I would be the best player on the team and I would make a meal. It's just like, you know, you're giving yourself a little selfish. I would cheat my way onto a football team and make a million dollars. And what have you had the stretchy man powers? Stretchy man powers.

How far did my stretches go? Like Mr. Fantastic like infinite from around the corner, Rob people. And then I'd pull that purse back and I'm like, got you, old lady. Yeah, I'm just thinking about the brain dances from cyberpunk and what it would look like to like witness one of those robberies of just like a stretchy hand going like. That's great. Oh shit. Something on TV.

Yeah. Oh, I would also I would use that as like I'd go into porn. Right. I assume all of me goes really big. I do a whole thing. It'd be great. Yeah. It's interesting to think about that the paper like talks about like the idea of aiming

for just close enough to your mind to like consider it resurrected. And I know maybe in that in that mindset, I'm like, what are we even talking about here now? Yeah. We're just talking about like saving data to a flash drive. Right. Like you don't. Yes.

It's not your computer on the flash drive. Right. It's just a it's just the files. It's a combination I would imagine of your memories and then whatever you consider your soul like the character of who you are because having your memories does not equal who like your motivation. It doesn't, you know, it's that nurture nature vibe. There's there's something in between the two.

That's why the concept of a soul is universally popular because there's something like it's not just the memories you have. You can take two, you know, you can make a clone of yourself and that person's going to have a different reality than you. Something will be different about that person. So that I mean, that's true. I mean, that's true. All right.

We're going to move on. Jesse, not too long ago, you told us a dream that is recurring for you. Oh boy. Yeah. And you asked for interpretations of saying, well, I have one for you right now, but from Reddit user little Fox, a corn, who has made their best attempt so ready for this to interpret your dream. And they said, just, you know, they apologize for their rough use of English, which it's

fine by the way, you did a great job, but it's not their native language. But here we go, Jesse, I'm excited for this. Jesse's dream usually starts off with him knowing that whatever is about to follow is not real and that he's just quote along for the ride. Yeah. Next, the dream opens with an amorphous interchangeable wife who wakes him up with different methods. He knows this is an actress. This tells him to get a get up, but at the same time prevents him from doing so by performing

different kinds of gruesome operations on him. Jesse, however, remains calm under this. This passage might well signify the deeper trust issues Jesse copes with and even the and even the resignation Jesse feels toward his current situation. He wants a wife, he wants a life partner, but many of the previous people he encountered and will encounter in the future are in it for their own motives. They want Jesse, the YouTube personality, Jesse, the star, the always bubbly facade. They want the glitz and glam, but not the real him, hence the operating operation, wanting

to change him as soon as they have him and the feeling of being held back that Jesse experiences in that dream. I love Jesse. Jesse gets up. It's far too deep. I don't see how deep it gets. You are dissecting me. You are the wife on top of me right now, cutting me open.

Go on. Jesse gets up. He meets the Butler, who might be a subconscious representation of himself. He offers choices. He helps make decisions. He leads Jesse to the hidden away remote with missing batteries that is a clear manifestation of wanting back control and the feeling of loss of. Holy shit.

This is very good. Wow. Butler Jesse helps him hide things from the fake wife and tries to get Jesse in control again, signifying a shift from being along for the ride, aka Jesse knowing that some of the women are only with him for their own motives, but him going along with it because he enjoys the company and feels relieved from the loneliness, that to wanting some measure of control, he starts to want the real thing, a real relation based on mutual attraction and respect to be accepted as a whole.

The missing battery indicates that yes, he wants control, but is not yet ready to fully take charge of the situation. You like the great. Following this, we have the wife dead in a pool. You're going to find my face down in a pool gunshot wound. It's happening. God. Following this, we have the wife who pretends to be interested in his work and support his career.

She encourages him to game. Jesse consecutively being actually in the game and killing it as well as getting enjoyment from it is a reflection of his work ethic and him being good and happy with his chosen career. It is dream Jesse being a happy workaholic. This eventually ends with Jesse finishing the game, his work, to find his fake wife sobbing because he, quote, killed their God. This to me seems a representation of some of Jesse's past breakups.

This is what I've been waiting for this whole time is this this bit of the interpretation. Right. Him working so hard, the true life of a YouTuber, the dedication it takes comes at a cost. The God stands for the fake relationship, the hopes and dreams the fake wife cherished, the false idol of what she thought dating Internet celebrity would be. She is in tatters because what she wanted and thought she got turns out to not be what she desired at all. And Jesse is distraught because Jesse is not distraught because he knows she was with

him for the wrong reasons. He was just along for the ride. If Jesse ever hears about this or reads about it, I suggest him trying to do some lucid dreaming and look back at the remote of just around the room while this is happening. I would not at all be surprised we found the missing batteries, a.k.a. him regaining control. I mean, like, that's that's pretty, I think Alex is going to test that's pretty accurate to a lot of my love life. I'm like, look, I think that I think the I think the interpretation is there in the

text. I think you can do I think you can derive this interpretation of Jesse's real life that is here in the text. It's somewhat apt. Yeah, I will say a lot of it is yeah. I one of my downfalls is I tend to not be like, yeah, this relationship is fun. But like, I'm like, yeah, I got other stuff to do. Yeah, which is one comment on this post from Reversed Posterior simply says, I have a simpler

explanation, cyberpunk, along with tons of fantasy and strange story based games he's played over the years. I mean, I think it can be a combination of both. I definitely think you're deeper desires. Yeah, I definitely get in relationships where I'm like, I mean, this will be a thing. And then six months later, I'm like. So is this part of being human? Well, Jesse, on that deep interpretation, we handed off to you.

Oh, boy. Well, speaking of deep interpretations, let's get crazy today. Great, a powerful hallucinogenic drug known for its part in shamanistic rituals is being trialed as a potential cure for depression for the first time. Yes, this is awesome. Participants will be given the drug DMT following or followed by talking therapy. It is hoped this could offer an alternative to the significant number of people who don't respond to conventional pills for depression.

Psychedelic assisted therapy might offer long term relief from symptoms some researchers believe a growing body of evidence indicates other psychedelic drugs, particularly alongside talking therapy, are safe and can be effective for treating a range of mental illness. This will be the first time DMT is given to people with moderate to severe depression in the clinical trial. Carol Rutledge, the chief scientific officer of a small of small pharma, the company running the trial said, we believe the impact will be almost immediate and longer lasting than conventional antidepressants.

Drug known as the spirit molecule because of the way it alters the human consciousness and produces hallucinations that have been likened to near death experiences. It is also the active ingredient in ayahuasca, a traditional Amazonian plant medicine used to bring spiritual enlightenment. Researchers believe the drug might help loosen the brain's fixed pathways, which can then be reset with the talking therapy. Ms. Rutledge likened the drug to shaking a snow globe, throwing entrenched negative thought patterns up in the air, which allow therapy to resettle them into a more functional form.

But this hypothesis still needs to be proven. The team is consulting Imperial College London, which runs the pioneering Center for Psychedelic Research. As part of the study, they hope to investigate whether the drug can be administered as a one off or as part of a course. Subjects will be followed for at least six months to see how the effects of the treatment last. Meanwhile, ketamine assisted physical therapies, I'm sorry, just therapies in Bristol will open up next week. While the drug is already used for depression in clinics like the ketamine treatment service

in Oxford, it is not accompanied by psychotherapy. Rather, it is to provide temporary relief from the symptoms of people who have various, you know, treatment resistant depression. So far, unpublished research presented at the conference by the Professor of Psychopharmacology at the University of Exeter, Celia Morgan suggests ketamine, accompanied by therapy, has much longer lasting effects. And they also talk about how they're trying to do it with LSD and MDMA and all these other things to help with mental disorders.

It was good for something. I don't want to sign on to that statement, but I do want to say that I think that this is the right track. I think that this type of therapy is real and good. And I will tell you a story really quick about one time when I was in San Jose and I booked an Uber to a dispensary and the Uber driver, it was just me and them. And I was in San Jose, so the dispenser was kind of far away. And so we got to talking for a little bit because we were on the freeway. And she was like, I just got back.

Look at this. And she pulled like a picture of like a beautiful baby girl. And she was like, this is my new daughter. I just got back a week ago from a trip to the jungle where I was on a guided meditation with a shaman through two or three ayahuasca trips. And I had so many breakthroughs and I've adopted this child and we're going to we're going to have a life together and I'm going to be a mother and I'm just going to put my past behind me and just keep on moving forward.

And it I know that sounds crazy, but this woman was not in a weird place at all. She was like totally fine. And I was like mind blown hearing her talk and it was just super crazy to hear somebody finally make the decision to drastically change their life after one or two sort of like very, very intense experiences like that of that type. I have I have said because we have a mutual friend, Alex, who every so often goes out into the wilderness by himself in a tent. I know this right.

Does shrooms. Yes. And like has a whole thing. And every time he comes back, he's like, you know, I suffer from all sorts of anxiety and depression and I will go out there. And I will come back and be like, I have seen how the universe connects to my daily life. And every time I hear about his stories, I'm just like, I'm going to do that. I just for science.

Like I don't suffering from any sort of like wild depression or anything. But I was like, I want to be connected to the universe on a level where I fundamentally change my reality. I want that to I would do it for this podcast. I would let you record the whole experience and do acid, baby. I would do it for the podcast. I would just be like, let you could you could bring in a psychologist and let them just ask me questions.

I would be like, let's go. Let's do this. So I would be so into doing something like that. We can have like just a whole episode. I'm just like, what happened? And but I would definitely want to be guided, obviously. I wouldn't want to go like, all right, let's get the other rooms. It let's go when we get that shot in our bodies and we can meet up again.

We can guide each other. I can't believe I haven't seen you boys in like a year now. It's crazy. At least I got out there once or twice a year. Exactly. Just over one year. Last time we saw each other was February. It was like March. It was like March. March. Yeah. Yeah. I was in Boston.

I was smashing drinks. That's right. Shaking hands hugged everybody. That's right. Pax East because because I remember getting out of Pax East in like a couple of days later, they're they're saying COVID was like in the East Coast. We had to find a London and we were just like, should we do this? Yeah. Right.

Should we go? And then, thankfully, Davis was like, bro, I'm not even chanceing it. We're like, all right. Yeah. No. Well, thanks for listening, everybody. And thank you so much for the support on Patreon. We'll be back next week with, well, for the main episode, part two of Alex's biggest cliffhanger, but some more fun little stories for our chill mini. It's a good one. I got good ones.

I got so many. Oh, bless. Bye. Yeah. Dear roads, trails and rivers, you ready for some SUV action? Toyota SUVs can roll their sleeves up for twisty trails or dress up for a night out on the town.

Hello, my little chaluminauts. Welcome back to Chilmini 42, I think it might be 43, might even be 44. Don't know. Damn, that's a lot of chaluminies. It's a lot of chaluminies and chaluminies are from the Chaluminati Awards at the end of the year. These are your chaluminies.

I love it. I love it. Oh, man. I'm just thinking of like an award show we could do as Chaluminati in some form. That'd be super fun. We have to ask our Chaluminatiens. It has to be like community awards. We have to do like a community award show. We give people like best story where your body is deconstructed and you became the best dream, best dream, best trip, best doppelganger.

Yeah. Well, I'm going to open this one up because the article is not going to take that long. It's more of an update on an episode we did a long, long, long, long time ago. It's all long ago. In fact, it was our very, very, very first episode on February 3rd, 2018. Wow. The Amityville horror episode. That was just a boy back then. Just a lad. We knew nothing. Yeah. But the update is Ronald DeFeo,

the killer at Amityville is now dead at 69 years old. Nice. The Ronald DeFeo junior, the Long Island man serving a life sentence for slaughtering his parents and his four siblings in 1974. That would inspire. Obviously, the movies is now dead. His death was announced yesterday. This was about a week or so ago at this particular point.

But just an update by the end of his life, he was no longer pleading insanity and demons. And at the towards the end, he was actually trying to push it off on his sister, one of his dead sisters. He was trying to blame her for the reason that he was killing it. So for those who maybe don't remember the episode, initially he claimed that they were murdered due to connected to organized crime. He later then shifted to say that he was pleading guilty

and then that kind of spun out into possession, which then was elaborated on by media. And then after that didn't work, he started trying to blame his dead sisters for the fact that he had to kill them. Like being someone who at 69 at the end of your life, you're just like, I'm still not going to admit it. Yeah, I'm so I can't imagine if I was in jail forever. I'd be like, yeah, yeah, I did it.

What are they going to do? Give you more time out of there. You're not getting out. You're not getting out. Like you're clearly not getting out. So he's officially passed. I just felt there was something worth kind of putting closure on some of the very first book we opened on this show.

That story is officially done now. You know, I do you think because there's like movies based on it that like he'll be in the he'll be in the slideshow at the Oscars this year? I was going to say the movies. I thought you're going the direction because there's movies. You think that's why he was hanging on and never like I hate. I hate their slideshow. So slideshows are a popularity contest for the dead.

People clap for the loudest for certain people. You're like, they're all dead. None of them care. What are you doing? No, stop this. They have to get the live audio out of there. Yeah. Well, that's my article short and sweet, boys.

But that's what I got. You love to see it. Honestly, all right. So I got the greatest article headline of all time. Oh, boy. It's from a couple of weeks ago. Scientists want to send six point seven million sperm samples to the moon. Oh, yeah.

A near automata. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Basically, I mean, look, so so. Apparently, it's it's being referred to as a, quote, modern global insurance policy so that we have a repository of cells just in case we fuck up the earth, right? We have the moon with all our sperm on it. Basically, basically, if we fuck up the earth so much

that we destroy our life on it, we want to have at least gist on the moon. Wow. I mean, look, it's a right take because without eggs, it's kind of pointless, but whatever, you know, yeah. There was a there was a team at the University of Arizona. They have a report that they submitted called Lunar Pits and Lava Tubes for a modern arc at something called the annual Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Aerospace, or.

I act on Saturday. But he says apparently the planet's unstable. And so having the samples on earth would be vulnerable for them. And there's something similar in Indonesia or something like that. Let me see. Wait. I know there's an Arctic storage. Oh, that's what I. Yeah, that's what it is. It's it's in Spitzbergen in Norway.

It's the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Yeah. And it's a big concrete, like, future structure that looks like it's straight out of that Tom Cruise movie, whatever it's called, oblivion. And it's and it's literally in the Arctic Circle. There's almost a million different samples and each one of them has like 500 seeds. So it's literally like there to like do whatever. And apparently it's like not that.

Like expensive, considering what it is. It's just seeds. Seeds they have to keep in case we. Well, bodies, well, body seeds, right? It it would take to to transport 50 samples of each species, because it's not just humans. It would be all types of sperm. 50 samples of each species would take 250 rocket launches. Which just to give you an idea, I.S.S.

to build it took 40. So the guy says it's not crazy big. We were a little bit surprised about that, which I feel like is crazy because launching 250 rockets is definitely not what I would describe as not crazy big. I don't know. I mean, I love that that's their plan. But I have some worry that the moon's awfully close

to whatever would destroy Earth. I mean, you know, just put it out there. There's a lot of scenarios in which Earth goes and the moon just comes along. Yeah, if the monster inside the Earth wakes up, the moon is fucked. Yeah. Yeah. Just as a big dragon inside the thing for us. Yeah. If we're just like monsters, yeah, yeah.

What if the moon is the egg for the monster and then they that that thing below the clover filled monster comes and eats the Earth? Yeah, you know, I mean, then we're screwed. What if Thanos is on the moon? It's going to fertilize the moon as an egg. Here's the thing. I suppose we just on the moon. That is a moray episode, because who would be the father?

Yeah, it was the father. Who do you get? Like, is it like George Clooney's jet? Like, who do you who do you get? Like, who do you know? Elon Musk's would go up there. I would be honored. I would be honored. I would, too. But you know what happened?

Sign me up. Put me up. Oh, yeah. No, they make Jesse clones. I know. I know what you want to go up. You want to send the babies up? Yeah. I mean, I'm using them for anything. It's fine. I don't know if I definitely wouldn't donate them now, knowing that possibly like I could meet my son, who I like definitely created with my own sperm.

But like I have no connection to that would wild me. I guess in the case of like Earth blew up and these people like I guess to be here, what the hell do you care? I guess in that case, I wouldn't mind. Am I getting paid? I would if I needed to get paid. If I got paid for it, I pretty much is. And you don't even have to pay me.

That's the real that's the real truth. I don't even know if the aliens are taking it out of me. If you give me Chipotle, I'll just in your bath. You know what I mean? I'll I'll help you. I'll leave a sample. You're in cheap day. Yeah, I got you. Oh, my God. All right, Jesse. Take us out of this jizz nightmare.

Well, my story is a little more, I guess actually it's kind of related to what we're talking about in a roundabout way, because who knows what's inside the Earth? In a recent scientific paper, it was once again posited that there is something in the Earth and we don't know what it is. There is a hidden layer and no one can tell us what exactly this hidden layer is.

For a long time, scientists have thought that there might be something hidden inside the Earth's solid inner core because the inner inner core, right? This thing right in the middle is so damn hot. Right. This I mean, the way like there is there is something like there's the inner core, then there's this inner inner core and then there's all that damn magma and crap in there. The liquid liquid outer core, which is like

eighteen hundred miles long or deep, you know, whatever. It's all this liquid metal and it's really hard for us to kind of, you know, we can't go into it. There's no way we can actually see what's in there. So we, you know, have thought about this since about the 1980s and because there's no way to actually get into the inner core and see what's going on in there. Hasn't Russia been drilling like a special drill for fucking years

and they like it keeps breaking in the part where they can't get past it or whatever? There's a lot of weird stuff going on. And we've had to use sort of earthquakey waves to detect, you know, sending it from one side of the planet to the other and sort of seeing how long it takes to pass through the different parts of the I like how I'm doing it with my hands for some reason that we can see it. But, you know, we're setting like the whoop, whoop, whoop, whoop,

through the through the planet to see what's going on there. And using these waves seems to be vegan three bean chili. It's crazy. It needs salt, sir. It needs salt and a lot of hot sauce. I mean, we're trying to recreate an image of what these waves are passing through. And strangely, when waves pass through the core from north to south,

they travel faster than when waves passed parallel along the equator. No one knows exactly why this is, but it's an oddity enough that they've really decided to like dig into it. And for the last two decades, it's been very unclear why this is the case. But they're starting to see some possible answers. So they have a data set of about 100,000 earthquake waves that passed through the core and applied an algorithm to it to search for the best physical explanation as to what the hell is going on.

And what they found was that the inner inner core, right, the very heart of our planet, starting about 400 miles ish from the exact center, there is something a little bit off. And there's this like noise in the data they don't quite understand. And to them, it means that the core is much more complex than we ever knew before. And, you know, it could be anything from like iron crystalline structures to like crazy metal things

that we don't quite understand yet. The kingdom of reptilian conquerors. Yes, that's what's happening. I'm telling you. And so they said, you know, it's this there's something strange going on there. But we the best we can say is that there's just another layer that is, you know, just like the planet. Because if you look at Earth, we aren't exactly perfectly a ball, right?

Like the around the equator, we're a little fatter than we are at the top. And so the same thing is going on inside the planet, where there's something in there that's, you know, very similarly shaped around the core and they don't quite know what it is. But it's also one of those things that, you know, I hate to break it to land a lost people. It's so it's like underneath the magma layer. So it would be so effing hot that anything that lived there would be

constantly, you know, very sweaty. Who knows who knows what's in there. But they're like, it could be, you know, sometimes you think of those, you know, if you open up a rock and you see like this beautiful crystalline world inside, right? They're like, it could be like that. We don't know. It could be amazing. It's we will never in our minds be able to exactly describe

what's happening in that layer, but it could be crazy, amazing crystal. And it's like giant crystals all who knows who knows what it is. It's going to stay up late and think about the planet shattering apart every night forever. Just like open it up and look inside. Yeah. And so there's some there's a hidden layer and they're just a mind that exists now. So there you go. Oh my God, Mighty Max.

I haven't thought of that. I was a kid. Yeah. And Polly Pocket. Let's be real. Oh, well, Polly Polly, like the same shit. Polly Max was. Yeah. They might have been the same person. I don't know what the what the deal was with them, too. They were dating, OK? Yeah. No, they weren't.

Polly Pocket only dated Jesse Coxick. Anyway. Oh, my God. That's it for that. Yeah. Fantastic. Well, that's it for the minisode then. Thanks so much, everybody, for your wonderful support on the on Patreon. We appreciate it. We will see you guys next week. Well, actually, since this is a back to back,

we'll see you in a couple of minutes for another word. You're already a patron. This is a big weekend for you, baby. Yeah, it is. You in a minute. Hello, my little chilluminoff. You know, how come sometimes it's fine? And sometimes it's like, I don't know.

Because I think you find it a little bit sexy. And sometimes you get catch. You get caught being like, who's this? And then you remember it's Mathis. And you're like, oh, no, no, no, no. First of all, that should make you even more excited and not turn you off. But yeah, I think Alex is right.

I think there's a party that gets a little tickled every time I say it. I'm not tickled. Depends on how good your headphones are if they got that good bass, you know what I'm saying? We know Jesse's a big audiophile, so he's getting the good. Jesse still subscribed to title. He's in there.

Well, I'm excited because it's kind of a user story slash submitted thing, heavy minisode. I've got a report that I would like to read. And I know Alex has got a story and I don't know what Jesse's brought. So I'm going to start with the UFO report. So this was actually dropped by a Reddit user. This was a UFO report from 1974 that their whole family saw on a car ride.

They got so spooked, they reported to the cops and they went to the local UFO researchers of their area. And this is the report that they gave. I find it fascinating because I actually now get to see the kinds of questions anybody who sees a UFO kind of is given by them, but there's some interesting descriptions of the craft and just the encounter itself. So I'm just going to go through the questions they were asked,

the answers they gave and the little outlines about three pages long, but not too bad because it's just like, yes or no questions. So it starts with if the object itself was falling to the ground, if it was traveling, what it was, if it was traveling across the sky, how it was moving and they answered it was falling to the ground straight down. How many objects were seen and what do they look like? Let's be specific, one object, the approximate height of the object was about 100 feet above the tree line of the hill it disappeared behind.

This was over, by the way, the location was at Yukon exit on the I-70. Let's see, approximately 100 feet above the tree line is where it disappeared. Give an indication of the size of the object compared to something similar. And they say, I would say it was slightly larger than a small plane, like a Cessna and the color of the object was red. Was the object the entire time the same color? Yes. What was the brightness of the object compared to, say, a star? And they say C-sheet three for comparison.

So we'll get to that in a little bit. Did the object appear solid? No. Was light emitted from the inside or the outside? They say it was the outside. Did light seem to stay the same intensity at all times? Were any lights flashing invisible? Same intensity, no flashing lights. It seemed steady in the air, no appearance of any wobble whatsoever.

No exhaust or jet stream was visible. Did the object continually move? Yes, it observed it falling to the ground until it disappeared behind a hill. How long did you observe the object? Approximately two seconds. Was there any indication of intelligent control? They said none. Were any physical marks residue seen?

No. And if so, what direction were you traveling? They were traveling down the I-70, but the object did not stop. Is it Pennsylvania drawing? The I-70, I guess that would be in Pennsylvania. Oh, the Yukon exit. Yep, it is Pennsylvania. Yep, you are correct. And that is the Yukon exit.

A little bit lower. They actually have a little bit of a drawing where they can where they saw the red lights on the object. It wasn't just a giant red ball, but there are six or rather five red lights. Two on the right, two on the left and one in the center. And they kind of draw that out for it. But here's the actual remark. So I'm just going to read the actual, the whole encounter.

Our family was turning home on Sunday evening after spending Easter day with our families at Blank and Blank's place. Very timely, very timely little issue. Yeah, right. Isn't it? We were traveling east on the I-70 with with myself driving. My wife next to me and my daughter next to her all in the front seat of the car. My other three children were in the back seat. Our car is a 1970 old 98 four door sedan with lots of room and a big front window.

So all we had was a good. So we all had a good line of sight just before crossing the first bridge at the Yukon exit, my wife yelled, Oh my God, what is that? I caught sight of the object about the same time she did because I saw it before she completed the sentence. My first reaction was a quick statement to the family. That's a plane going down. However, my wife and my wife said, I think I think it's a UFO.

We can we caught sight of the object at a line of sight of approximately eleven and it appeared to be about a hundred feet above the tree line on a hill. I initially thought the thing was coming down on the near side of the hill. And frankly, I was a little surprised when it disappeared behind the tree line of the hill. I thought it was a small plane coming down because I mistook the red lights for fire. But it and it really didn't look like fire since there were no trailing flames or smoke and it was not completely engulfed in flames. The red lights were concentrated in the areas shown in the sketch,

which is I kind of explained above. I did not make out any metallic substance of the object at all. I keep referring to this as a singular object, because that is how it appeared to me at all times. It did, in fact, look like a singular object, but I must say, I do not remember seeing anything resembling a connecting structure that tied the lights together. It could be that these lights were, in fact, separate entities in the closeness of the pattern and formation gave the impression that it was, in fact, a single object. In any case, we observed this object for a couple seconds until it disappeared behind the hill.

And we continued traveling at the same rate of speed, approximately 55 miles an hour. When we got to the top of the next hill, we tried to see some evidence of a fire or crash, where we thought it might be, but saw nothing. When we continued home, where I immediately called the state police. One further comment. This object did not fall from a high elevation. It just seemed to appear. Nothing was there. And then all of a sudden it was there.

Our line of sight was such that if it would have fallen from a higher altitude, we would have caught sight of it before we did. The highway is almost straight as an arrow at that point. So we basically had the same line of sight for approximately one minute or so before we did catch sight of it. And that's the end of the report. And I just thought it was interesting. I love how it's like it's held. Sorry, go for it. No, go ahead.

Oh, as you say, I love how detailed the actual questionnaire is. Yes, I actually left out a whole page of questions. I think that's fascinating that they are just like this. Like describe this, was it this or this? How would you? Yeah, let me. I think that's like really genius, the way that they've set that up, because it does ask questions that you can really be like, that was a plane. Or that was like, there's it's very smart.

I think that's amazing. Sounds straight out of the Robert Taylor case or something like that. Yeah, I'll give you a few more of the questions. It's like, was there any loss or dimming of the lights? Was there any radio or TV interference? Were there any noticeable animal disturbances? So cool. Have you had any period of time you can't account for? Have you had any unusual nightmares since you're sighting?

If so, explain. Did you see a beam of light emit? While the object was under observation, did you notice sun or the moon? You have any knowledge of a string? Yeah, right. Do you have any knowledge of astronomy's one? Like it just goes on and on in a really, really details like what they what they did. I just thought that was really fascinating.

The report itself, even if the sighting itself was kind of it's interesting, but, you know, it's hard to say whether that was a meteor or something coming down. It's a very standard UFO sighting. Yeah, yeah, very out of nowhere. It was quick and it disappeared behind a hill or a tree line. So so thank you very much out there to the user who dropped that. I apologize. I clicked off of the actual link.

So I don't know your name anymore. It's gone. But I appreciate it. Yeah, wants to take it next. I got I have a story. And then do you do what do you have, Jesse? I have something fun for the users for the users. I fucked for the users for the listeners. I was like, con for the listeners.

Cox legacy. All right. Well, I'll read my story and then we can leave it with a call to action. How about that? That's good. I see you do it. OK, so this is this is called Stories from El Salvador. And this is by V. Urbina. So I'm just going to go ahead and read it. Can't wait to read this.

Hey, everyone, I just started listening to the podcast and currently listening to the Latin American folktales. And I have two that my family have told me over the years about the same quote unquote ghost called the Siwanaba. Siwanaba is not spelled in a way that I normally would be able to pronounce that one try. So luckily they allowed me a pronunciation guide, which I'm very thankful for. My entire family is from El Salvador.

Both of these are from my dad's side of the family and come from two family members. Story one is about my biological grandfather, who I've never met and neither has my dad. This was a story that was told about him. This is pre 1950s. My grandfather was known as a womanizer and that he couldn't pass up hitting on women. So basically like Jesse. So one night he was coming back.

So one night he was coming back from drinking either a local bar or from a party on horseback when he was descending down the mountain that the town is built on. He notices a woman on the side of the road leading down and stops to talk to her. She was supposed to be very beautiful and he had to stop. It was dark and she said she needed help to get back to the main part of town. The road in front of them was covered in darkness. And he said if she got on the horse, he could give her a ride back.

She agreed and climbed on behind him and they headed down the path. They got to talking as they were riding down. And all of a sudden the woman stopped talking to him. Then she wrapped her arms around him and he thought that he closed the deal. She began holding him tighter and tighter. And then when he turned around to get her to to get her to losses up her face. What to do? I think like I think I think that was meant to be

to get her to loosen up on the grip, loosen up. She told him tighter and tighter when we turned around to get her to loosen up. Her face changed to a very ugly woman. She then yelled out that she isn't letting go and he was hers. And in fear, he made the horse gallop down the path as she cackled. They both fell off the horse as they got to town. He was able to get up from the fall and noticed the woman began to walk away from him and cackling into the night.

And the next day, apparently he had a fever and was sick the next few days. He never saw that woman again. Yikes. That's that would be terrible. They're fine. I'd say like open and shut, like scary stories to tell in the dark style. Really? Yeah. Story, you know what I mean? Like it's not directly one from that book, but I just mean it has that sort

of like movie style creepiness, right? I don't understand the creep factor there. Me, if she was holding on tight and I turned around, she was like, I'm never letting go. I'd be like, damn right, girl. The one she'd be like, no. Yeah, I'd be the one to cackle. I feel like.

Yeah. You're going to out freak the ghost. Yeah, I'm an out freak the ghost. What? OK. Story two. My family lived on a compound in the town, meaning that all family members were living in houses next to each other with a common middle area. Some of the buildings had a wall or fence between them. My cousin, who was around 13 at the time, went out after dark to use the bathroom.

My family is all told the kids not to be going out at night because it is dangerous. He decided that it was fine because he was just going to take a leak. He stopped a nearby tree that was next to a wall and did his business. And then he heard a woman's voice, which started him. He started all of him. He began to look around and could see no one. And he began to hear laughing and looked up to the wall near him. And he saw a woman he had never seen before.

And he was frozen in fear and he could not scream. Next thing he noticed was that his dad came up running gun in hand and grabbed my cousin. As he grabbed my cousin, he started firing his gun towards the woman and also told my cousin to turn around and don't look back. The woman disappears after that. He says he can still remember what the woman's laugh sounded like and it haunts him. Guys. Well, good Lord.

Wonder what was she ugly? I mean, I wonder what this is about. All right, like, why is this woman got to be like, I don't know. How come no one's going to go talk to her? Like, hey, it's a cautionary tale, right? Like it's classic. It's a classic tale to scare people from talking to people on the road. I guess. But this isn't a house.

This is like in the courtyard of a house and like housing complex. I guess. But I mean, I don't know what the situation is. Like, you know, like I, for example, walked through like four neighborhoods today, just on my walk, you know? And I mean, I'm not a scary demon ghost girl, so it's fine. But like, you know, if I was, I, you know, I'd still be scared if it was in my neighborhood. That's what I've heard about you. You're a demon ghost girl.

I bet you I look homeless from a distance at the very least. Like maybe like you see me from far away and you think, what is this guy? Oh, no, he's just a guy who lives in his house in covid. Oh, OK. I don't know. You thankfully were an L.A. There's a lot. There's a lot of like want to be Alex's in this city. So, you know, from a distance is like, oh, that's just Alex.

You think you you think most homeless people are me is what you're saying. You're like, oh, shit. Is that Alex sitting under that bridge? Oh, no, I can never mistake. I can never I can never mistake you for someone who's homeless. I've been in your house. Oh, that's true. I do have a house. That's like you.

That's one key. That's one of the deciding factors in your home. One of the hints that they have. Yeah. But yeah, that's great for the stories. Jesse, you are it's up to you to wrap it up. Yeah. Hey, everyone. And this goes out to these two gentlemen as well.

So I am this is going to sound weird. But in my life goals, we'll say, I have discovered that, you know, this period of us being stuck at home turns out not to make you the happiest, right? People are depressed and like kind of messed up. And yeah, so one of the things I discovered and this was actually a very good friend of mine told me that she took this and I was like, what the hell are you talking about?

Like what is she's like, trust me. It literally changed how I view a lot of things during this pandemic B.S. And I just want to send it to you. So I'm going to give this link to the boys here. But this was recommended to me by can't wait for this very good friend. There is a Yale course that's totally free. You can enroll whenever you want. Financial aid is available.

But it's a totally free course. It's called the science of well-being. And just a little descriptor of this course. In this course, you will engage in a series of challenges designed to increase your own happiness and build more productive habits. As preparation for these talks, Professor Laurie Santos reveals misconceptions about happiness, annoying features of the mind that lead us to think the way we do

and research that can help us change. You will ultimately be prepared to successfully incorporate a specific wellness activity into your life, right? So by the end of it, you'll have something moving forward. It says it takes about 19 hours to complete the total thing. You obviously don't have to do it all right away. It's this thing where three million people have already taken it. And it's totally free.

You just sign up and everything's it's, you know, you're just taking a course. Right. It's like a 20-hour course. It's not even that bad. Yeah. And just to give you an example, because I'm all about the freebies for kids out there. Here's another link that I'm going to send to these boys. This is one of the very first activities they ask you to do. Go to the Via Institute on Character.

It is a Via Character Strengths Survey. Oh, my God, I'm just going to depress me. The online free scientific survey of character strengths in the world. Take it 15 minutes long and discover your greatest strengths. They're going to be like, maybe you didn't need to buy all those comic books this year, man. Yeah, research shows that knowing and using your character strengths can help you increase your wellness and happiness in your being. Find meaning and purpose, boost relationships,

manage stress and health, accomplish goals. Basically, it's 15 minutes long. You sit down, you take this thing and by the end of it, you learn kind of like what your main strength is. And it's like, stop trying to do other people's strengths. Focus on your own and like hone that. And so once you know what your strength is, once you know what your best at,

you can hone that specific skill in your life and become the best at that thing. And that can help increase your productivity. And your happiness and that leads into this course. So if you don't want to take the whole course, just take the 15 minute thing and figure out like where you should be focusing. And you will have some clue. And so I give that to the audience out there to look at. Hopefully you will have these either on the reddit or in the podcast itself.

There are links. Enjoy. What a what a wonderful little positive thing to end on, Jesse. Yeah. And I'll make sure that these are posted in the obviously for the Patreon minisode. If you are listening to this and at some point in the future, this is in a freebie one and you're actually interested. If you could just leave a comment or something, I'll make sure we get the links out there and not just so I remember to put it

in the descriptor. But that'll wrap it up for us. Thank you guys so much. We'll be back next week with another minisode for you all following whatever episode next week ends up being. Bless. Thank you so much for listening. See you then. Bye. Anyway, me and my wife were sitting outside indulging on our porch one night enjoying ourselves.

I needed to go to the bathroom. So I stepped back inside and after a few moments, I hear my wife go, Holy shit, get out here. So I quickly dash back outside. She's looking up at the sky and I look up to and there's a perfect line of dozen lights traveling across the sky.
