The Confessionals - RELOADED | 331: The Devil's In The Music

Episode Date: November 21, 2022

In Episode 331: The Devil's In The Music, we are joined by Joel who is one-half of the new music group called VanTesla. VanTesla flew into Philadelphia to record multiple shows in the studio with me. ...Joel and I sat down to talk about the paranormal experiences he has been through in his life. He begins by sharing how his father almost got sucked into a Satanic cult while he was in college, and how those experiences changed his life's trajectory to become a pastor. Though he grew up with his dad warning him of the dangers that lay in the darkness, Joel decided to take his own path. He dated a woman who practiced the dark arts, and the baggage she carried spilled into their relationship to the point that she became demonically possessed, as a demon took control of her body to speak to Joel. Joel became more deeply involved in music, which lead him to become a Free Mason in an attempt to gain power and fortune. He shares his experiences as a Free Mason in the "Overtime" segment of Episode 331, available for members on the member site, as well as his bizarre UFO encounter that caused me to wonder if he had seen several ships returning to a mother ship with abductees.Become a member for AD FREE listening and EXTRA shows: theconfessionalspodcast.com/joinSPONSORSGET Cerebral: getcerebral.com/tonyGET SIMPLISAFE TODAY: simplisafe.com/confessionalsGET Hello Fresh: hellofresh.com/confessionals16 Promo Code: "confessionals16" for 16 FREE MEALS!!!Get Emergency Food Supplies: www.preparewiththeconfessionals.comGet Beard Oil: bit.ly/2FbOhN5GET ExpressVPN: www.expressvpn.com/confessCONNECT WITH USWebsite: www.theconfessionalspodcast.comEmail: theconfessionals@theconfessionalspodcast.comSubscribe to the Newsletter: https://www.theconfessionalspodcast.com/the-newsletterSOCIAL MEDIASubscribe to our YouTube: https://bit.ly/2TlREaITikTok: @theconfessionalsDiscord: https://discord.gg/KDn4D2uw7hShow Instagram: theconfessionalspodcastTony's Instagram: tonymerkelofficialFacebook: www.facebook.com/TheConfessionalsPodcasTwitter: @TConfessionalsTony's Twitter: @tony_merkelAre you a military veteran struggling with thoughts of suicide?Contact Watchman Readiness Corps for REAL help.

And finally, we have Joel coming on the show today right now for an exclusive conversation about his paranormal experiences he's been through throughout his life.
Starting point is 00:04:26 This is an overtime conversation. The first hour is right now, right here for you. And the second hour is right there on the website for members in the overtime section where we get into another hour and a half, I believe, of audio content for you where Joel talks about how he got into Freemasonry and the struggles of trying to get into a lodge and why he was pursuing Freemasonry to begin with. He was obsessed with trying to gain power and make it in the music industry. It was an overall great conversation I had with Joel, and I'm really excited for you guys to hear it.
Starting point is 00:04:57 So let's just get to Joel right now. All right, today we got Joel from Van Teslin studio. Joel, how you doing, man? I'm doing good today, Tony. How are you doing? Man, I'm doing good. So we just got done recording some shows for Rage Against Histopia with you and Kwan. Right.
Starting point is 00:05:20 And now you're hopping on the confessionals to share with us your past. paranormal experiences that you had in your life, anything from your dad's history, which we're going to start off with, and how that kind of ties into your life to the UFO encounter, your son's mom being a witch, dabbling with the black magic. I'd like to say I dig it, but I at least dig the story, you know what I'm saying? Right. I don't know how much I dig the situation, but other paranormal situations and stuff. But before we get into all that goody good, we're going to go into your music and how this all kind of came together. Now, Kwan's not here with us right now, but you and Kwan came together to join forces and make this group Van Tesla.
Starting point is 00:06:01 Right. So if you could, first off, let's just start off with the basics. Van Tesla, that name, how did it come about? Because it's very unique and I like it. Well, I came up with it because Kwan had done a song called Nicola or was working on a song called Nicola at the time. I had just dropped out a song called Van Gogh at the time. He's kind of got a real thing with Nikola Tesla, you know, how he had basically had his free energy ideas stolen and it was turned into what it is now where you're paying for power at this point in time.
Starting point is 00:06:35 And mine came from Van Gogh, just kind of a tortured artist that really wasn't understood until he died. Went through a whole lot, you know, phenomenal artist. Nobody understood him until he died. And I think that's kind of where we're from. We both come from backgrounds of trying really hard at music and trying to understand that. then it, you know, not shaking out the way we thought initially, kind of feeling unappreciated, knowing that we're talented, but, you know, I think that brought us together. It caught the idea for me to make the name Van Tesla. You know, it kind of resonated with both of us. And I think
Starting point is 00:07:06 for us, it put us ahead of the ballgame and what we were going to start talking about music-wise, you know, getting more into the social issues that are going on right now, not necessarily from a point of view that most hip hop artists would do. So I think that's, you know, where we're at with the Van Tesla name and, you know, what we're trying to promote going forward. Yeah, so, I mean, Van Tesla, for anybody listening, would you guys call yourself a hip hop group? I mean, I don't know. We do a lot of different things. Yeah, it's very different. I mean, you guys both rap, but you both sing too. Right. And I mean, when we were listening to some of the music earlier and stuff, I was like, wait a second, that's Kwan singing, which means you both sing.
Starting point is 00:07:46 Right. And I was just like, dude, you guys are super talented. And the cool thing is you're not only super talented, but you also have great quality music. You have great instrumentals, great production, and you have a great message as far as I'm concerned, which we kind of hit on rage against dystopia when we were recording for that show. And it's like, this is the new rebellion music. Right. Like back in the 90s, there was this big rebellion with hip hop and stuff and, you know, F the system and all that stuff. Yeah, rock too. And then it became very corporate and bought out artists and you guys, the content you cover is the current times right now, 2021, and where the world's going and you guys are raging against the system, you know, raging against that machine.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Right. And, you know, it's really cool because there's other artists out there that are doing very similar things. But there's, I think, vast majority of artists out there, they're more concerned about creating an image for themselves, making it successful, whatever that is in the industry, which means they're not willing to go down certain roads, let alone they probably don't even think about those roads. No.
Starting point is 00:08:53 Like, it's just like whatever, you know, I just want to be mainstream. Absolutely. And you guys are kind of taking that, you know, off the beaten path approach and you're going to talk about real stuff and you're going to piss a lot of people off in the process. Yeah, I think being mainstream is just not important anymore because you got a lot of people and more people than are actually letting on because a lot of people are scared right now. And rightfully so with a lot of things that are going on in the world. But there has to be some voices, you know, there has to be some voices for these people.
Starting point is 00:09:24 And at least if they can't stand up, like we can stand up for them in a way and maybe give them some sort of confidence as well moving forward. Because we have to stand together to make this thing work in the best way possible. The term is power in numbers. It does exist. I think when people realize that, or if they ever do decide to realize. that they'll understand that these, you know, entities above us, I won't go on that too much here, but these entities above us that control things, there's not a lot of them. There's a lot of us, but they also are very smart and know how to manipulate things. And I think that we've just got
Starting point is 00:10:01 to wait people up to the point to where we can stand together. Whether we fail or not, at least, you know, there's some sort of satisfaction in glory in knowing that you stood up against something and you didn't bend over, grab your ankles, and hope it wasn't too big. Yeah. No, I get it, man. And it takes a lot of guts to do what you're doing in the sense that it does put a target on your back. The bigger you get, you guys are doing this and you're just starting out the group. But the bigger the group, and I'm telling anybody who's listening stuff, you're about to hear one of their songs. These guys, they're going to be huge. I mean, you guys, really, like your Instagram, I follow you guys on Instagram. And I envision
Starting point is 00:10:42 within the next year to two years, you just make some right moves. Maybe, you know, Tom McDonald's shout you guys out or something like that. You get right in front of the right people and you guys hit 100,000 followers on Instagram easily. And we appreciate that. I mean, seriously, I really believe
Starting point is 00:10:58 you guys have the potential to have a huge following because you're speaking truth, the music's quality, and that's what people want. Right. You know what I'm saying? I think people want it more than they're letting on too. Yes. I think they're just kind of forced to take whatever is given to them.
Starting point is 00:11:11 And that goes with everything in life right now. It's like we're just taking it because there's nothing else to take. Yeah. You know, and why don't we give somebody a choice there? At least one choice out of the million of choices that they can't have or the million choices that have been silenced. At least we can try to give somebody something that means something. And we're still growing as artists too. So hopefully we'll be able to give you even more.
Starting point is 00:11:34 Like we'll grow with you. We'll all grow together. And as we grow this unit of musicians, podcasters, people that, are about the truth, that they're standing next to people that want truth, I feel like that there's still going to be some good come out of this world. I don't think it's all for not. No, I hear you. And I agree with you. Like, you look at Tom McDonald. I mean, he went number one on the charts. And at the same time he was number one, he had like the number three song as well. Right. And his music is in your face, you know, raging against the system. And so if he is having
Starting point is 00:12:11 that kind of success, that only means it's because there's an actual audience for overwhelmingly. Huge audience. And so I just really believe that you guys, all you need to do is just be patient and wait for the people to find you. And it will come. So let's get to some of your music, this first song. We're going to play now. We're going to play this song now. And then we're going to play another song for the outro for this episode. Right. This song is called Pockets. You want to talk about it a little bit before we hit play? And, you know, actually just let people listen to it. I think they're going to pick it up pretty quick what it's about and what we're about. All right.
Starting point is 00:12:43 This is Pockets. Let's do it. Killing their cells. Steady killing their cells. Ten windows drop. Gates got us and cells. You're listening to the ball. What's your sound opinion to a sparkling atom and feathered.
Starting point is 00:13:12 Dad cooking. Breakfast bacon. No sugar. Gym preaching. Teaching. Wiping kids, boogers. Fan protector,
Starting point is 00:13:19 respect it. House full of rogas. This the feeling that I really wish I had sooner. Baby's mama and a mama that's a different gen. They hit the gym. Track music fills them within. I'm wrong for dropping gyms because it's a different message. I see nowhere at 20 finally getting message that a life has been drawn out but see her dad is sketched it.
Starting point is 00:13:41 Moms will teach you how to use a magnum, not the weapon. This is just a skeleton of dress. I don't write for real. That's just a verse in a bag. A lease used to be shoes until I figured out how answers won't. on the nose. Conspiracies were cool until they will drop in clothes. Until you skip routine, peep the mirror. Now it's you. Why you brush your teeth fluoride? What you consume? Got men addicted. See a chick drop his g-in. We slaves to women. Then trick when she want to be
Starting point is 00:14:11 independent. To get a sex, you clean the kitchen. Respect is missing. Her feelings distant. That's not an act of kindness. That's an act of blindness. They think he'd go. Never touched the And felt mites, I enlighten. I take my index along where middle close your islands. It's simple, priceless, listen. My people saying kings and queens way too much. Validation, black, to spread the education. And if silence is violence, my tongue is salivating.
Starting point is 00:14:40 Black stories on Hulu, black sections and target. You think this are recognition? Modernist segregation, corporations keep your subconscious bias from King Shabazz's Hulu Shaka, who opened up Shaka. This got my face red like vision I don't got the darkest pigment But I use logic if and when I say the word Me what
Starting point is 00:15:00 Killer us is us Sing alone thy songs with whom the guns we bust From the food to the media It's cancerous shit And your idols LeBron & Coe will go unsponsor the shit Your idols tell you why But not solution of escape Rap about their new chains as they upload their estate
Starting point is 00:15:22 To the Matrix, what an overstatement Crypto got me rich, Beyond statements, basement placements, make Hollywood blueprints look basic. You want a sheep I creep, cut comfort off, make blankets, and sell it back to you, we know you wait. I look up at the stars and I wonder what they are. There's probably a lie like the rest. I've been took to red pill, but looking at the blue pill. Fake steak tastes the best.
Starting point is 00:15:48 But I'm looking for those pockets. With BLM stickers on the back of their cars, paying pimp in your heart, but they don't want you to hear it. They just see birds and paper swinging like a urinal with no dividers You come back with verses and I know that you weren't the writer These puppets don't just exist in governments but more so in entertainment Because they can show you exactly what they're doing and you won't believe it And everyone's got myopia and they can't see past what they sell as utopia If you disagree with something, phobia
Starting point is 00:17:08 Singers dropping out on TV for your kids like Sikovia My own soul's in conflict with itself Because I was raised on a square in compass, power and wealth I looked at the dark arts as it was a way to achieve what I wanted between us. But I realized it was like Lucy holding the football, leave you with penis. I used to want them to call me a genius, but now I'd rather connect with people than exploiting their weakness. Because I'm tired of talking to demons. For real. I look up at the stars and I wonder what they are.
Starting point is 00:17:37 There's probably a lie like the rest. I've been took the red pill, but looking at the blue pill, fake steak tastes the best. But I'm looking for those podcasts. I'm telling you, man, like that song, and that song is just one of many of you guys have put out so far that just really hit hard. Right. They hit the topics. They hit the culture that we're living in. And it just, I just think that it's what people will need to hear.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And you do it in an artistic way. And that's what the arts were for. The arts were for to relay a message of what's going on in the world and things like. And they're taking that away. they have corporatized the arts to relate a message from, you know, the ruling elites. And it's just, dude, it's really refreshing to hear that music. And I'm sitting here where our mics are off. And I'm just like, ah, I can't believe he just said that.
Starting point is 00:19:30 Oh, man, what a good song. And there's many more to come, I'm sure. Listen, where can people follow you guys? Where can people get your music? So right now, if you go to IG, it's one of our main sources of putting out information. We do a lot of funny memes there, too, and just normal topics that we like people to talk about. We put a lot of music there, too. If you go to at van underscore Tesla underscore, you can catch us there.
Starting point is 00:20:01 You can go to at Kwan Duke, which would be Kwan site. And you can go to at Johnny underscore Idol underscore, which is mine. We talked about this for us, my alter ego. I do a weird like rock thing whenever I go into that mode. So it's fun. But I have that as my mind as well. You can catch us on all major platforms right now. So if you go to Spotify, Apple, title, any of them that you're looking for, you can find us there.
Starting point is 00:20:26 Just go to Joel Thomas, which is mine or Kwan Dukes. You should be able to find us pretty quick once you put that in. And you'll know it's us because we're connected. So you'll go in there and you'll see the Van Tesla stuff pop up on both of our pages. That's awesome. Yeah. So people go ahead and check it out. Get that music.
Starting point is 00:20:44 I'm telling you. You guys should come out with some kind of like marketing thing where it was like, it's like people who, I don't know, they do something as a fan and they get like a sticker that says I was here before the first million followers. Right. Like it's going to get to that point. And so to create that cult following because I'm telling you like the message you guys have, the quality of music and you guys don't hold back.
Starting point is 00:21:10 and I freaking love it. And what's interesting, not interesting, but it's really cool is that you guys, you know, you're a white guy and Kwan's a black guy. And like, so you have that different perspective coming together in music where you both are upset about the world and culture we live in, but you also grew up in different cultures as well. And so you get hit with everything. Like, I mean, when you were talking about the bumper stickers in that song and stuff, I mean, that was you speaking. And you come from that culture and you see what's happening around and stuff. And Kwan comes from that other culture with the BLM and what's been going on with that. And you guys just, you have your thoughts and opinions and you don't really care about
Starting point is 00:21:46 who agrees with you. You're just saying what you see happening in the world and how it's really affecting humanity. It is. And I think that's important for us to get that message out and, you know, just convey to people that, hey, you know, there's somebody that's talented and has a voice for you because I feel like all the talented artists has just been eaten up by the machine. And they're just picked apart before they could even get to a place to be.
Starting point is 00:22:09 able to do something like this. Yeah. I mean, if you, if you pick up the talent young enough, right, early enough, and you sink your teeth into them, they'll never leave you. Right. You know, and so, and if they do, you just call them crazy and you say they, they need help mentally like Kanye. You know, which maybe he does. I don't know. I mean, some of the things he goes off on. I'm just like, wow, Kanye. Right. Right. He's a smart guy, though, and I think that's a, at the end of the day, you know. You don't make billions being dumb. You don't. Um, He's very talented guy. I think he definitely has gone down a dark path, though.
Starting point is 00:22:44 And I think that, you know, I don't know how much of it he's trying to get out away from it. I feel like he's trying to in a lot of ways you can tell. But I think you get so deep into that system. And we're going to go into more of that when I start talking about the paranormal and deeper into me being a Freemason. Yeah. Listen, you're a Freemason? I have a freaking Freemason in my studio. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:05 I'll really talk about how. How dare you? I'll talk about how I, broke away from that and what was important for me to do that too. It's it all was centered around music. Everything I've done, anything that I've seen, even UFO experiences and stuff that we'll get into. It's all deep rooted in the hip hop system. And I don't think a lot of people understand about hip hop music itself. It's very, it is the world's music now. It is pop music and hip hop has become the culture of music. And we're not talking about black, white. We're talking globally.
Starting point is 00:23:37 You go to Germany, you got white, you got white German rap artists. You go to anywhere in Asia, you've got Chinese, Japanese rap artists. You've got this. And it's become something bigger than that. And you've got to control something like that, right? So at the end of the day, it's become very demonic in its undertones and very controllable from the top. And as far as getting information out that they want to feed people, feed your kids, and how they want to control us. So what you're saying is something that I've been trying to relay for years, and I know people say that I'm crazy.
Starting point is 00:24:13 Like, not everybody, certainly a lot of the audience, I'm sure agrees with me, but this idea is something I've said for years. And people who aren't in the know and don't dig what we do, they're not feeling it. But I say at the highest levels, the paranormal and the quote unquote conspiracy, they intertwined. Absolutely. They intertwine. It's all together. And when you talk about anything like ghosts and demons and everything. all kind of intertwines together.
Starting point is 00:24:39 Yeah, because those people, they believe it, whether you believe it or not. And I tell people this all the time. And, you know, I got an argument with somebody recently about adrenachromes. And I told them, I said, hey, it doesn't matter what you believe. It's what they believe. And at the end of the day, even if it doesn't do what they say it does for them, they believe that it does. Yeah. And but it's intertwined throughout music, throughout any celebrity that you see, throughout Hollywood culture.
Starting point is 00:25:04 It's all there for you to see if you really open your eyes and take a little. look at it. But a lot of people don't want to do that because, man, that's a tough road to go down. I can tell you, I'm on a tough road right now. It's tough going down that road. It's not easy. No, I get it. But do you want to continue, you know, running around like a sheep with fur on your back all the time? Or do you want to stand up and realize you're a goat on that mountain and you're going to be on that mountain with other goats that are going to look back and say, you know what? If you want to come over here, you can be like us. But if not, we're going to band together and, and go against this system of shepherds that aren't really trying to shepherding us in a right way. Yeah, I dig it, man.
Starting point is 00:25:44 So let's start the process of this life you have lived and the history of your family and all of it. And just to let people know, we're going to be going in deep on these recordings today. We already did in the first recording for Rage Against Astopia, which will be premiering today. As you guys hear this, it will be premiering at 8 p.m. Eastern Times. on fringe.fm. That's my radio show, Rage Against Astopias. So go ahead and check that out if you're interested. And we're going to, in this first segment, we're going to do an overtime segment as well.
Starting point is 00:26:19 We're going to get into more of your paranormal experiences. And we're going to lay the groundwork with your dad. Right. I agree with you. It sounds like your dad's history might have had a lot of do with where your life is gone. At least piquity in the wrong way. For sure. I think it would, a lot of people.
Starting point is 00:26:37 Right. So, but then in the overtime segment, we're going to get into more of your, like, real demonic experiences you've had and a lot of Freemason talk. And we got an insider here today, guys. We got an insider. He's going to tell us all about it, the checkered floors and everything. So I'm just... They exist. So let's get into it. Your dad. I don't want to spoil anything. So just tell us about your dad and take it away, man. Yeah, so my dad is, he's a preacher now. He's a pastor. He has been my whole life. So we actually went to seminary and he met my mom in seminary and they got married and they ended up having me and then my sister. So, you know, growing up, my dad would share his testimony at different churching events. He'd normally do it if we came to a new church and he started preaching that would be one of the first things that he did, especially when he was an evangelist, that would be one of his first. sermons because he had just amazing crazy story about how he even got to this point that he was at. Started out college basketball player, got really deep into drugs, the drug scene. He actually was part of a smuggling unit that smuggled like 98% cocaine out of Bogota, Columbia, and biplanes. I don't know if he's necessarily on the biplanes, but he's a part of that kind of culture.
Starting point is 00:28:01 That was dealing with a lot of that. He dealt with a lot of people that were pretty, you know, as high. high up as far as who he dealt with. He was a drug user himself. He sold, but it was more of a situation of, you know, they were the higher ups.
Starting point is 00:28:15 He was just kind of protected because of them. It's just kind of how he was. He was a part of here, though. That's what he grew up in the late 60s, early 70s during that party era of, you know, disco, all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:28:25 So like for him, that was kind of his lifestyle. In a part of that lifestyle, he met a girl one night. They were partying. At some point, the next day. she was leaving and she looked at him and said, you know what, Charles, you need to meet God.
Starting point is 00:28:43 And so, of course, he cursed her out and told her, I need to meet God. You need to meet God. What are you talking about? We just did like 10-8 balls. You know, I'm over exaggerating, but probably a lot, you know. So she said, no, you need to meet God the right way. She's like, here's a number. I want you to call me when you're ready. And that's all she said to him and left. So he said it was really weighing on his mind for a whole week. He just said, I think I need to make this call, but I don't know. So finally, he picked up the phone and made the call. And this is back way before. We're talking before cell phones and you had caller ID and all that.
Starting point is 00:29:17 So none of that existed in this time. He makes the call. There's a man that picks up the phone the other end. He says, hello, Charles. I've been expecting your call. So he immediately was kind of freaked out from that because he hadn't said a word yet. And he said, yeah. He's like, so you need to come by.
Starting point is 00:29:37 He gave him the address. So you and I were talking about your experience earlier today. And it made me think of this because my dad told the story. So he said he came to the door as he's walking to the door. The door opens. What is it with Satanus and having doors open by themselves? I think it also plays into that whole vampire thing. You know, if you ever hear about vampires, it's the allowing of the letting you in thing.
Starting point is 00:30:01 It's all tied together. It's all lore and it's all tied together with everything else. So he walks in, there's a guy standing there. He had a long flowing white beard, red eyes. Really? And he said, hello, Charles. He said, come inside. So he brings him in.
Starting point is 00:30:15 He walks in. He doesn't see the girl that he was with that time. That's actually his wife. So he leaves the room. He said, hey, why don't you just sit down here and we'll be back in a little bit? Okay. So he sits down in the room and he starts looking around. There's all these beautiful, like, murals like on the wall, like paintings of, like, nature and different things like, like,
Starting point is 00:30:35 That's what he gets up and starts looking at him. And like at the bottom of them, it's like, oh, we praise the O. B.Ls above the most high prince of darkness. We love you. I'm just paraphrasing, but like all of them had stuff underneath it. So he thinks like this is really weird because you got to think, and the way he grew up wasn't really in a religious culture like that. You know, his family wasn't really religious like that, you know, per se. And for him, you know, he wasn't, he's like, that's kind of, you know, weird. They come back in.
Starting point is 00:31:03 And from that moment on, he went on a track. several months to become a legitimate Satanist. They were teaching him the ways of Lucifer. He said he's seen some wild stuff. He said he's seen vases get up off of tables and levitate across the room. They would move stuff with their hands and minds. They had a three-year-old son that they were training to be the prince of Satan. They could put him in a chair at three years old and he would not move or blink for three to four hours. at a time. What? Insane. He's seen this. Wow. So during that process, they would talk to him and other voices would come out of their mouths and tell him things that only he knew about himself from when he was younger. They would have these conversations, the demonic interactions that he would have with these entities. So for him, it looked like power. I mean, you're seeing like, man, these people are moving objects with their minds. I mean, it's like full on, you know, Jedi or Sith in here, moving stuff around, this whole thing. I mean, it's the allure of power, right?
Starting point is 00:32:11 I mean, that's kind of what that is. So for him, it was, he got really, you know, zoned into the power aspect. And they said, listen, we're going to go to Texas where the Church of Satan was the big one there in Texas at the time, you know, down there. So they were like, listen, sell everything you own. give us the money. We're going to get all our money together. Pack your bags. We're going to go and leave and go. So he's like, okay, you know, that sounds, you know, good. He's, he's all about it.
Starting point is 00:32:45 So he gets all his stuff together. He goes their house. He, you know, gives the money and everything. And they're like, hey, we need you to go get something. So he's like, okay. So he went to go pick some stuff up. He comes back. Nobody's at the house.
Starting point is 00:32:58 Just his two bags are sitting on the front porch. And he walks up and there's a note and say, we're sorry, Charles. We owe everything to our God. Took all of his money and left, rolled out on him. I mean, they're Satanist, right? Wow. So at that point of his life, he was inside of their house. There was nothing left in that house but a little TV in the house.
Starting point is 00:33:19 So he said he had $100 in his pocket. He was going to buy $100 worth of barbiturates and kill himself. He was like, I'm done. Like, I was trying to go down this path. He's like, they even scammed me. He's like, I didn't even know what to do. He ended up turning on the TV just flippantly. Like, as he's walking out of the house, and there's a voice that tells him, does anyone out there need help?
Starting point is 00:33:45 And so he literally, like, turns around and it's a preacher. And the rest of his history changed his life. Really? Crazy. So he turns on the team. TV as he's walking out of the house. Crazy. That's random.
Starting point is 00:34:02 Yeah. And then he, the preacher just, the first thing he hears is, does anybody out there need help? Exactly. And he turns around and listens to the rest of what he says and then ends up like just wow. Wow. Changed his life permanently. It's crazy.
Starting point is 00:34:20 Yeah. Unreal. Listen. I can see it in your face that it gets you emotional when you talk about it. I think it's really cool, man. That is, listen, when you are telling that story, the house I'm picturing is the house I went to. It's probably about the same type of thing. It really, like, it's so wild, though, when he tells the story about it, because, I mean, they definitely had power.
Starting point is 00:34:46 Like, there's definitely that that exists, you know, and we'll get into more of my experiences with that stuff, too. But it exists. Like, you seek it out. You'll get some level of it. Now, I will say this, though, that in that. realm, there's always a game too. Clearly. There's always something that it doesn't necessarily add up the way you want it to. Now, it may in some ways, some people may get millions of dollars out of it, may become, you know, famous. But at the end of the day, you know, there's always a game behind
Starting point is 00:35:19 the whole thing. Yeah. You know, it's always about control. It's about suppression. It's about suppressing your mind. Yeah. So. Wow, man. That's a very dramatic story. that your dad has for himself. And I'm assuming he has no regrets from that point on. He considers the blessing being robbed and everything. I'll tell you really crazy, though. If people can catch it, he did a, this is before podcast. It was a radio show called Unshackled, like way back in like the 90s, I think.
Starting point is 00:35:49 You can find it online. Actually found it. He's actually got it there where he talks about his whole like story. Really? Yeah, his name's Charlie Orr. So if you just dig around and find it. Charlie Orr. Yeah, maybe you can find it.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Yeah. It's pretty cool. He does it a lot of his sermons. If he does any traveling, he'll share that story with people because it's pretty unique. Yeah, I'll tell you straight up, if your dad would be interested, I'd be interested having him on the show to tell the story. He might for sure. So I, those kind of stories, they get me rolling, man. Because it just, it really, because I identify with it. I went through a situation similar, only I wasn't trying to join. I was, I was. Right. They were trying to, he was trying to do. do something to me. It was, listen, I mean, here, the bottom line is, I've talked to a lot of people about my experience. And the last time I talked about it was on Fringe FM with Joe Rup. And Joe Rup and I, we don't agree on a lot of things when it's spirituality and stuff. You know, me being, you know,
Starting point is 00:36:50 a Christian and him being somebody, I don't even know what he is, but it's like more mystical. Right. I know he sells magic boxes and things like that. Right. When I told him that story, his reaction and stuff, it was just like, whoa. And so like hearing these stories, I guess I relate to him a lot because I kind of went through a similar thing. Only Joe said that, and the people that were calling into his show said that they believe he was trying to release something on me, like a demonic entity. Well, here's the thing, too, even if you're talking about the mystical arts, and I can go
Starting point is 00:37:21 into that too because I dealt with a lot of people that are involved in that field. So like for me, it's, um, it's, it's, understanding that there's good and evil, if you talk to anyone in any facet of whether it's Christianity or if we go into mysticism or, you know, Islam or whatever, there's always good and evil. So at the end of the day, no matter what you think, there is good and evil. Like, we can sit here and say that it doesn't exist, but man, there's a whole lot going on in the world right now that if you don't think there's evil, then you're just really putting the blinders on. And if you do think there's evil and think that there can't be good, what does evil fight against, right? There has to be
Starting point is 00:38:01 two sides. It doesn't exist that way. Yeah. Yeah. That's the funny thing is that a lot of times people find themselves leaning towards believing in one side, but not the other. It's kind of impossible, though. Yeah, but I think there's a fear factor. True. I think there's a fear factor for people that it's almost like one of those things where if you don't acknowledge it, it doesn't exist. And so whether it's, you know, the, say a Christian not wanting to believe that there are Satan, or there are, like, I've talked to Christians who don't believe that are demons. I'm just like, read much, you know, like, you know, and, and then there's the other side of things where people who are, you know, say they're more, I don't want to go down the satanic
Starting point is 00:38:43 road as much as the spiritual road and summoning entities, but yet they don't want to believe that there is a higher God that rules over the, like, like, they don't want to. believe in Jehovah. Right. And that's the tough thing too. And, you know, I, I think that that's something that everybody's got to find their own journey about how they figured stuff things out. I think the basis is, I think you need to know that there's good and evil. I think at that point, you can start figuring out how you want to operate with that. I'm not a big proponent on religion itself. I think I'm more of a proponent on, you know, or your relationship. So, like, I think, like, that is at the core of, like, what you need to go with.
Starting point is 00:39:28 And then you can figure out the rest for yourself. I mean, listen, someone was flawed individuals in history have done some great things. So, you know, we're fallible human beings. It's what we are. Yeah. We're meat sacks. So at the end of the day. Indeed.
Starting point is 00:39:42 That's what we are. Indeed. So, you know, I feel like that that's where people need to come with it. I also don't push anything on anybody either. I'm still figuring things out for myself because as we go throughout this conversation, you know, what I've seen and things that I've been a part of, you know,
Starting point is 00:39:58 it's tough like when you've like seen the full 360 spectrum or been a part of the full 360 spectrum and just been like, you know, you kind of go for a loop a little bit and you're just trying to get your bearings. And I think with what I'm doing with music now and I think with, you know, what I'm trying to build like for my family and everything. I think it's bringing that into like,
Starting point is 00:40:18 A perfect sphere for me. Yeah. All right, let's take a break right now and talk about this week's sponsor, which is Storyworth. Now, friends, listen, if you have a mom in your life, you want to make it feel special for Mother's Day, this is a great option for you. And it's a great option for me, too. Because, you see, my mom had a really bad, I'd say last year and even into this year. Just a month ago, she had COVID.
Starting point is 00:40:43 And actually, the COVID, of all the people in my life, she was the one I didn't want getting it of anybody because she already has a lot of preexisting conditions that. really kind of hamper her down health-wise. But she got COVID, and thank God, all it was is just a bunch of sniffles. She said it felt like a cold, wasn't a big deal. And then after that 14-day period, she's looking to get back to work, and all of a sudden she comes down with pneumonia. And that's what really kicked her butt. She had to drive herself to the hospital, check her in for a few days. And thankfully, she got through it just fine, which I'm really grateful for, but it was really scary for us. And my mom, she had a pretty tough year, and I want to make her feel special.
Starting point is 00:41:18 And that's why we're doing Storyworth for Mother's Day this year.

Listen, let's talk about, well, Listen, I'm not sure if you want to talk about your UFO sighting next or if you wanted to go into, you know, the paranormal situations with your son's mom and stuff. How would you like to do this? I mean, because I wrote down UFO encounter for next. Let's go into the other first.
Starting point is 00:43:15 Okay. Because I will say that the UFO stuff kind of came in like a very interesting time in my life when I was seeking out knowledge and power. and a lot of those things. And I think some of that had to do with that, obviously. But this is, this actually came, this is the precursor to build into that. So I think that's kind of important. Let's do it, man. Go for it. Yeah. So I met my son's mom. I actually knew her in high school. She was younger than me. But like we had met after high school. Like I had graduated. I had graduated. I had been out of school for a while. She had graduated. So we ended up running in each other connecting. And we started dating. And as we were hanging out, she told me some. more things about her in the past when she was in 15, 16 years old. She got really deep into Wicca and understanding a lot of that stuff. Now, in saying that, I've known some people that are into Wicca that aren't necessarily in it for evil. So I can see that side of it, but she was totally in it for Black Magic. Like, she was in it for that. See, pause there for a second, because I've talked to a lot of Wiccans myself. And I can't remember.
Starting point is 00:44:27 a time that I've heard a Wiccan say that they are pursuing black magic because like I've talked to Wiccans and they're like it's not like that it's it's more like pure and and which you have that side of it too yeah I just like I'm not saying I'm not saying it's not there as far as black magic goes I just it's it catches me off guard that a Wiccan would say that because I've never heard a Wiccan go down that road now granted my my scope is literally the people that contact me through show I don't go seeking out Wiccans, but I've talked to several Wiccans, and they were adamant that it's not the dark black magic. I think the ones that are going to be willing to talk to you aren't involved with that stuff, and that's why they're going to be able to talk to you. I don't
Starting point is 00:45:11 think anyone that's involved in that level is going to be, you know, talking to you. It's not, if you're going to walk up, be like, hey, you know what, I'm a mother of darkness. Like, they're not going to come tell you that. So you had a job to mothers of darkness. All right. They're not ready for it yet. We're working on that one. Spoiler alert. Yeah. So go ahead. So anyway, so she told me this, but this was after the fact that she was done doing that. She had stepped away from it.
Starting point is 00:45:36 You know, she was, you know, knew that it wasn't good. But there's a lot of repercussions that come along with that. So at the time, she was doing a lot of curses on people. Some bad things happened to people. Her and another friend that were super involved with that, they actually did a lot of these things to people. She didn't go into super detail what happened to some of these people, but it wasn't good. I know something real bad happened with one person.
Starting point is 00:46:01 I don't know to the extent, but I do know from her, she was something she never wanted to talk about, and it was very, you know, a touchy subject. I didn't really push it because I don't want to push somebody on that kind of stuff. Sure.
Starting point is 00:46:13 But the residuals of that were a lot of entities that would follow us, places that I wouldn't necessarily see, but I would feel she would see them. There was a little girl that used to follow us around everywhere. And we would be, might be at a drive-thru. And she would say there, she's behind us. And she would be staring at looking at us.
Starting point is 00:46:37 You know, I wouldn't see it, but she would. I know several times we'd be in the bed. It would be looking at us from the end of the bed, which is pretty crazy. One night, particularly, which was really wild, that was going on, I felt, really weird. Like, it felt bad in that room. And I'd never felt that bad before. And this is, like I said, way before I started going to my journey of, like, all the other stuff. So I wasn't even tapping in the stuff at the time. So I just felt like, I don't know, evil was in the room. And if I can say it any other way. So I turned the light on it. And when I did, I hair barrette shot up off the floor and
Starting point is 00:47:18 hit the ceiling. Not only that, before that happened, I missed the key part. Another voice comes out of her mouth and tells me something that only my mom told me when I was a kid, which was crazy. And I say that because of what happened to my dad before, which tied that together, which made me really freak out at the time because my mom used to call me a manipulator when I was a kid. She's like, oh, you're just a little manipulator or whatever. And the entity told me in a man's voice that came out of her. Of your girlfriend. Yes.
Starting point is 00:47:54 a deep voice said, maybe I can try to do it, but you're just a manipulator like that. It was just the most demonic thing I ever heard. It was not her voice. She doesn't even remember doing it because when I popped up, the hair barrette shot hit the top of the ceiling. I turned the light on like, what did you just say to me?
Starting point is 00:48:10 And she's almost like she shook it out of it. And she's like, what do you mean? She's like, I don't know what I did. You, what did you came out of your mouth? Like, I've never told you anything like that. Like it was verbatim the way my mom told me. when I was like five or six. Really, really weird situation for me.
Starting point is 00:48:30 So I, you know, definitely that was part of a lot of things that were creepy. And I do bring that in because of things that happened later on that also tied into things with her. Even though we weren't together anymore, it kind of started that road of, you know, back then I was not interested in any of that stuff. It really freaked me out. I was in my early 20s. I'm like, man, I don't want anything to do with this stuff. Like, I already do from my dad, like, you know, whatever. But I think because of hip hop and, like, how bad that I wanted it.
Starting point is 00:49:09 Like, you get to a point, you get desperate. Like, you were willing to sell your soul in a sense. I mean, like, because we get, we hear, we hear. Yeah. Like, we hear artists that say, you know, I sold my soul, you know, like Katie Perry said it. They're not joking when they say that. What's the guy that just died not too long ago? Juice World.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Juice World. Like he did stuff like that. So were you on that kind of level? Like if you had the opportunity to do something like that, would you have done it? I went on a five to six year track on that road. So you're saying at one point in your life, there was a point in your life, whether it was a day or six years, that if you were proposed that you could sell your soul for all the riches in this world and, and have all fame and glory in the hip hop industry, like Eminem, you would have been like, I'm in.
Starting point is 00:50:03 Yeah. Okay. Awesome. I mean, awesome in the sense that you're willing to admit that and talk about it. It's interesting for me because you hear about these artists that do this kind of stuff. Right. But I can't fathom ever getting to the point of wanting something so bad to be willing to do that. and I'm actually really, I'm going to say this, but it's probably not going to sound,
Starting point is 00:50:35 it's not going to translate well for the audience, I'm sure. I'm really glad that you did and you're willing to talk about it. Yeah. Because not that I'm glad you were in that spot in your life one time where you're willing to do something of that, but the fact that you did get to that point, you didn't do it and you came out of it and you're willing to talk about. Because I don't, when you reach that kind of level. I try, don't get me wrong.
Starting point is 00:50:55 I definitely try. I know. That's what I'm saying, though. Like, when you reach that kind of level. I think there was stuff around me, though, like with my parents and things going on, the spiritual realm. That was a battle. Yeah. I mean, from your dad's past, I think it marks things in life for the future generation.
Starting point is 00:51:23 I wonder what happens to my children in the future, just from things. I've done in my life. You know, like, I've never dabbled in witchcraft or things like that. But, I mean, I was a very violent individual. Right. And I wonder if that's something that my children get passed on with. And it's like the spirit of violence and stuff. And, you know, my son, I see him being very aggressive.
Starting point is 00:51:49 And I kind of overparent then where I'm just like, I come in hard on him because I don't want him going down that road. And people are like, you need to chill and relax. He's just three years on. I'm like, yeah, but, you know? So I think about that kind of stuff a lot, man. I think for me, you know, I've always been a really open mind with my kids. And I think that I try to let them explore their own space or order now. Sure.
Starting point is 00:52:14 I think that was something that was not that it was like, you know, my parents' fault, but I felt like that I wasn't allowed to explore a space where I could figure things out for myself in a way. Yeah. So I think that kind of put me on that path. No, and I can understand that because it's not even my, if my dad ever hears this, I don't think he'd disagree with me. Growing up, when he decided to start taking church and God serious when I was in high school, like, it wasn't an option to explore my faith or grow into my faith.
Starting point is 00:52:47 Right. It was, this is what we do. You know what I mean? And so, like, I had to, you know, I was like put into this environment to, of this Christian environment, which I don't think is a bad thing. Right. But I didn't really ever explore. Maybe it was that I never took it to personal time to explore my faith and stuff,
Starting point is 00:53:07 but it did lead to me posing as a Christian into my mid-20s until I hit rock bottom. Yeah. Not even mid-20s, early 20s, because I hit rock bottom in my mid-20s. And I almost lost my marriage. I almost threw my entire life away. I was literally willing to, ready to just pack it up and move to no-name town somewhere off and maybe even another country and just restart and exist somewhere else. Thankfully, that didn't happen.
Starting point is 00:53:35 My marriage was saved and all that stuff. But I can definitely see how, you know, the environment growing up can portray or relay into a rebellion spirit, a rebellious nature where it's like, let me just do my own thing and figure it out, you know? Super for me, though, because I started getting involved with hip hop and my parents just weren't having it at the time. at all. Sure. And my dad's still not having it. Yeah. Um, you know, they essentially, you know, gaming ultimatum like either give it up or get out of the house and I chose to get out of the house. And that kind of put me on that path. Sure. Very rebellious. Um, you know, like I said, not blaming them for anything at all, especially knowing like my dad's past, you know, why wouldn't he have been very protective? Right. Which, again, because, you know, I remember being,
Starting point is 00:54:27 and be 13 and I remember going into his office at church and he had like books for days and there was like a section of books he would never let me like get into and read really like it was like Masonic stuff and different things that he studied you know because he kept up on things but he told me like I wasn't ready for that
Starting point is 00:54:46 whatever. Did your dad ever join the Mason's? No not at all. It was just my dad likes to be very knowledgeable about the occult and the things that go on with that realm because he knows how to combat it. Yeah. You know, I, but it intrigued me that. I'll be honest with you. A big time. Because what's, I mean, what's not intriguing about something that's secret?
Starting point is 00:55:05 It's a secret society. I mean, it's what it is. You know, it's the world's oldest fraternity, essentially, except for the ones that they don't talk about. Yeah. The ones you don't know about. Right. You know. But, yeah, like, that was, you know, for me that that's why I kind of went down that path.
Starting point is 00:55:21 You know, I had the experiences early, you know, with that, with my son's mom. And then I started really, as I got deeper into hip hop, the allure came with that whole Illamati era that popped up. It was like Jay Zs and all these artists were pumping imagery out. But people were catching on to some of the stuff. It wasn't so much it was, you know, hiding in plain sight so much it was people were seeing it. Yeah. And I think there was an allure with that too. I think that was part of a sci-up as well.
Starting point is 00:55:54 I think they wanted to do that to get people desensitized to it, one, and two, to make people want to be a part of that. Or at least, like, see, it is a cool thing. Yeah. You have no idea how many triangles I threw up in my younger years just because I saw Jay-Z doing it. Yeah, without even knowing what it was. Wear rock-aware, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:56:14 Like, all the stupid big clothing and all the symbolics. Like, I would wear it to church because I didn't know what it meant. It was just Jay-Z stuff and it was cool. It was, you know. I mean, and, you know. Now you got Little Nas doing it to the next generation. Absolutely. And you got, you know, with Jay-Z, you know, his whole trajectory, if you do the history and go back, there's pictures of him with Freemasons.
Starting point is 00:56:33 I mean, it's just before he was made it. So, like, he's been involved for a long time way before. Yes. You know, one of my favorite songs, which is also probably one of his just absolute putting it out there, songs off his first album, Reasonable Doubt, was The Evil's, which is just. Evils, I don't even remember that one. Nobody talks about it, man. unless you get the album, you don't hear it. Now, you can catch it on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:56:55 You can type it on YouTube, but he samples Prodigy and Snoop Dog on the hook. And it's like, dear, God, I wonder, can you save me, Illuminati, hold my mind, soul, and my body. So, like, actually, that's the hook. But that was way before all this whole era came, he was telling you back then. Like, he was involved way back then. I mean, Jay-Z's not, like, a billionaire for no reason. Like, just guys involved in things that are just far beyond. our scope of knowledge, really.
Starting point is 00:57:24 And the guy is a genius and very many different aspects of life. It's not just like music. Guys is a superb businessman. He knows what he's doing. But he's also connected with the right people. And that was alluring to me. Like, you're seeing guys like that that are just on top, untouchable essentially. You know, they've got this power behind them, you know.
Starting point is 00:57:46 And then you start, you know, looking at it from like the aspect of like, you know, what's the other side giving me? Like nothing, like, you know, essentially. And then I was in a weird space anyway where I had stopped really just believe in anything. And I was just kind of on my own and nothing was working out and like working dead-in jobs and just nothing was happening. And then this started happening. Like I started seeing it and it just became really alluring and exciting for me. And then I just started tapping in.
Starting point is 00:58:15 I had a buddy of mine that wasn't a hype man. And he and I both got really involved, like deep with a lot of. of stuff, started getting to a lot of Alastor Crowley books, book of lies, book of the law, like started reading a lot of that stuff, started tapping into just that whole spectrum and, you know, wanting that lifestyle. Interesting. You know, you mentioned about how like the other side wasn't offering anything. And I think that's very telling because, you know, I really, I mean, people who really don't know they would say, what's the other side offer me?
Starting point is 00:58:53 They're offering me sweet Jesus cupcakes. Like, I don't want that stuff. Right. You know, I mean, I want the steak. I want the meat. I want the potatoes. I want the hard stuff, you know? And you're just offering me sweet cupcakes.
Starting point is 00:59:03 Like, I don't want cupcakes, you know? And the reality is it's just a misconception. Right. As far as I'm concerned. But very interesting stuff. And you, so this, this angle you took was all motivated, I'm assuming, towards trying to make it in music and be successful. Well, yeah. Or was that just like an underlying? That was the main driving point, but it was also
Starting point is 00:59:32 for, you know, I always, and we talk about, you know, Van Gogh and being underappreciated. And, you know, it was kind of my thing. It's like, I want this so I can stick it to everyone. Yeah. Like, that didn't, like, believe in me. Yeah. And I think that that was the real underline tone there. I think that was more than just the fame for me. It was to be there in that place so I could squash those people. Because you see those people in those power positions. I mean, they can have people off like that.
Starting point is 01:00:05 Like nothing. You know, that was intriguing to me. You know, I listened to the lyrics. I mean, you know, just the way they piece things together and, you know, the stuff they talked about. And Kanye was a huge part of that movement at the time to, Rihanna, all of them. were like huge part of Beyonce, like especially when it first started happening. Not that it hadn't been happening for years, but I think it just kind of like exploded
Starting point is 01:00:27 online because, you know, at that time, YouTube was really getting big. Like, and I think that's when the video started hitting and everybody started talking about it. And for me, I didn't look at it as like a scary thing. I was like, that's what I want. Yeah. Yeah. I get it.
Starting point is 01:00:43 I get it. I understand the allure. How old were you when you decided to kind of take this route? or, I mean, were you, like, late teens, early 20s? 26, 27. Okay. So, you were well out of mom and dad's house at that point. Well out.
Starting point is 01:00:57 They kicked you out and said you're... Absolutely, yeah. You're off to... We're handing you over to Satan. I was self-sustainable at the time, like, as far as taking care of myself and, you know, my kids and stuff like that. And I think for me, it was very, you know, like I said, it was alluring. Like, the whole thing, like, Sonic Order, Illuminati, wherever you want to call it. It should be different names.
Starting point is 01:01:19 but, you know, you go down that road and I wanted it, like, real bad. And I started out, you know, and I met a lot of crazy stuff along the way. Yeah. Yeah, you know, I look back on now. I'm like, man, like, how did I get out of it? Well, I know we're going to get in a lot of that crazy stuff in the overtime. Right. But I wanted to see where we want to transition here.
Starting point is 01:01:44 Because I definitely want the people to hear on this segment about your UFO encounter. Now, is that the next. step in this process for you? We can go there because it doesn't go as far as deep. I wouldn't say it was connected with the Freemasons, but it was definitely around that time I was seeking that out. And I think that I was very open to UFOs at the time. And I had always been anyway.
Starting point is 01:02:04 I mean, who didn't watch ancient aliens and all that stuff. So, you know, for me, it was, you know, very, even that had a mysticism to it. You know, when you're talking about parallel universes and all that because, I mean, Isn't that kind of how it works? Like demonic entities kind of move in the same way, right? So like a lot of people say that, that have had these experiences. So I brought it into hip-hop because I was hanging out with two,
Starting point is 01:02:32 one hip-hop artist who at the time was doing pretty well for himself locally, and he had been traveling some. He actually had done a, he was on Jimmy Kimmel at one point towards the back end of the show. At the time, they were doing pretty well. It was a band. He rapped, though. He was staying with me. at the time and of course my roommate and we were all hanging out and we decided to it was really
Starting point is 01:02:55 nice outside and I know we just kind of felt compelled to go outside so we went outside I think he was smoking a cigarette or something that's why we stepped outside it was real clear night and we looked up in the sky and we just saw these objects moving but it wasn't like a plane where it was going in a straight line because we had a lot of planes there because where I lived at the time was in the winter robin's Georgia, there's a huge Air Force base there. So you see stuff like that all the time, planes, right? But there's also a lot of, they call them orchards out there, but they have fences up and it's blocked out. You can't get in them. It's a government property, but they make it like it's an orchard out there. But, you know, there's a lot of weird stuff that has been seen out in these
Starting point is 01:03:35 places. That's not where I was at, but just to let you know that there's stuff has been seen, you know, I feel like that happens around a lot of air force spaces anyway, the bigger ones. Sure. So we looked up in the sky and my buddy was like, man, what, what is that? It's not moving like a plane. And we saw it kind of moving, stopping and then moving in circular motions. And then we saw another one and it was moving a circular motion. And then it started rotating around. And we saw another one. It was like probably six or seven that were kind of moving around. And as we looked in the center was this huge. Like it wasn't lit up. What it had to be a ship or something, it was a triangular object in the middle and all of these little, I don't know what they were, ships, whatever. Were they connected to the? No, they were moving separate from it. Wow. And so it was sitting there and these things are moving around in all these like weird positions.
Starting point is 01:04:33 We watched this probably for about 30 to 45 minutes going down until it finally just subsided and then it all left. It was super wild because the object in the middle never moved and it never lit up like the other objects. But you could see it. We were like, man, that is something huge right there. And when I say huge, when I'm looking up at the sky, it was massive. Like if it was to come down, it had to been like, I don't know, the size of a city or something. I don't know. It was huge.
Starting point is 01:05:04 It was massive. It was probably one of the wildest things I've seen. And like I said, we sat out there for about 45 minutes. And then it's just stunned. I was like, are we seeing this right now? Like, who is? Nobody else is outside either. Like, who's not seeing this?
Starting point is 01:05:16 At what point in that, in those, in that situation, do you start feeling like, I kind of feel like I'm in the Will Smith movie in the Penn State. I'm being invaded? I mean, did you ever feel like, what the heck? Because, like, when you're telling this story, dude. Right. Actually, how are you feeling that moment? I mean, were you scared?
Starting point is 01:05:34 No. You know what's so weird, I think because of the road I was on and what I was seeking out, like none of that stuff scared me. Like, I invited it. I invited the danger back then. I wanted all of it. Like, demonic entities, all that stuff. None of that scared me. Like it, I, I invited it. Yeah, it did. Because to me, it was something that nobody else is a part of. They couldn't be part of this club. They weren't, you know, worthy enough to be in this, like, you know, club of elites and whatever else. Essentially, that's what it is. It's a club, you know. It's valid. It's, it's valid. from other people that are in this club and you are now, you're not one of them. You're not a sheep. You're not one of these controllable things out here. You are the controller. Even if you're a puppet, you're still in a position that's above them. Yeah. You know? And I think for me, like, none of that stuff scared me. I invited all of it. Like, I was like back then, I was just like, if I knew there was a UFO out in the middle of nowhere and I knew for a fact, I would run straight at the shit back then. psychotic like it so when you're telling this experience you're talking about the the lights going around in a circle right and the these individual lights going around in a circle around the triangle craft right these lights that were going around in a circle did you did you see them come into this craft like they came off from a distance and came I couldn't
Starting point is 01:07:00 tell because it looked like they were coming from behind it as well so they would kind of go around it in the way to where you disappear but then come up out of the top so it was like You knew something massive was there because you would see them go around it. So it was something weird. Like, I don't know if they were ships or not or they were lights or whatever. Yeah. But I know it was just, all I can say is an unidentified flying objects is what I saw. I don't know what they were.
Starting point is 01:07:24 Could have been government craft for all we know. We don't know what it was. Sure. But I can tell you that, like, it was probably one of the craziest things I've seen and see something that massive. It wasn't like somebody has that, you know, the famous saucer that shows. up or a ball of light or whatever. It was like, it looked like something that was just absolutely humongous. Huh.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Because, like, you're telling the story and I'm thinking to myself, what if those little lights were individual, like, baby ships? Well, that's what we thought, too. What if they were bringing abducted people to the mothership? Could have easily been doing that. I know. That's what we were thinking, too. But they were definitely moving around it.
Starting point is 01:08:05 But then you would see them dart off. And then the light would stop and you would see other lights appear. So we never could tell how many lights there were there. We just knew there was the massive object and then there was just like little objects all around it. But we were thinking like if it's that massive what we perceive it to be. Now once again, like we're looking at depth procession, all that. I don't know. You don't know how far it was.
Starting point is 01:08:28 It seemed like it was far, like real far away. Because I can tell you that because we're in an Air Force town. So anything low would have been lower than that as far as aircraft goes. You would see the aircraft coming in because they're always like flying in or out. So they're never high. They're never that high. So this was definitely way higher than what we would see coming in and out of the place. Interesting.
Starting point is 01:08:52 Very interesting. Yeah. I mean, when you talk about darting off, that's when I think, man, what if they're going to get another kid? You know? Never not. Like, and they're putting them in pods, you know? And they're going to put them in the secret space program for 20 years. and then they're going to go back in time and drop them off like it never happened.
Starting point is 01:09:09 It's freaky stuff, man. I know, man. That's freaky stuff. Well, listen, we're going to get into some more talk here in the overtime segment. Okay? I want to hit on the alien agenda because I know you have a lot of things to say about that. And also the demonic stuff and the Freemason stuff. And I'm going to throw a little teaser out there for people that are on the fence that are going over there.
Starting point is 01:09:28 Let's just say it involves Papa Legba. What the heck is Papa Legba? Because you said it like I should know, and I don't even. know. He is an entity in voodoo culture that he's supposed to be the gateway between you and whatever is on the other side. Okay. All right. Well, listen, I appreciate you coming on the show. Yeah. And before we get out of here, I want to give everybody a chance to hear about your music again. Just remember, guys, he is a musician and fantastic work. And where can they find you and Kwan and Van Tesla and the music? So if you want to find us on Instagram, go to at Van underscore Tesla underscore.
Starting point is 01:10:12 If you want to find us individually, which is always good too, go to Kwan Duke, at Kwan Duke. You'll find him on Instagram as well and you'll find me at at Johnny underscore Idol underscore for Joel Thomas. If you want to find any of our music online at all streaming platforms, go to Joel Thomas or Kwan Duke. generally you'll find us if you go to one page you're going to see the Vantessa stuff pop up pretty quick and all that's connected
Starting point is 01:10:40 for both of us. So we generally when we drop them we do joint drops together and that's kind of how we put out the Vantasa stuff. Yeah, when you drop Vantasa stuff it's everywhere. And I was just like, I dig it.
Starting point is 01:10:50 I dig it. So yeah, everybody, check out Vantessa, get their music because I'm telling you you can be in on the ground floor of this fandom that's going to build up for you guys.
Starting point is 01:11:04 I'm a huge fan. In fact, Mark is here in studio and he's the one that reached out to me to share the music. He produces your music. He does a lot of our music. Yeah. And when Mark reached out, he sent, he's like, I forget what Mark said. He's like, hey, this is a group that I work with, you know, check out the music. And I, to be honest with you, I think I was sitting on the toilet when he said to me. And I was like, I was like, well, I'm in the perfect spot to put this where it belongs. You know? I'm. I was like, because I mean, I get people that send a lot of music and stuff. I was like, okay, all right, yeah. And then I was just like, holy crap. Right. I mean, listen, like the first thing I look for in music, even before the lyrical content, right, is how does it sound? Because if you don't have the production down, even if you have good lyrics and you
Starting point is 01:11:55 have a good message, people aren't going to hear it because they can't hear past the crappy music. Right. For sure. But the music and the production was so good. And then I like, okay, let me listen to this song now. And I was like, whoa, these dudes are really talking about it. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:09 And that's when I messaged Mark back. And I was like, yo, we need to do something here. I think I actually sent Mark my cell phone number. I was like, we need to talk. And so I'm very grateful to Mark doing this and reaching out and stuff. And I'm very grateful for the relationship. I've been able to build over the past, what, six months or whatever with you guys. Right.
Starting point is 01:12:28 But it's been really cool. And we're part of this journey, this resistance journey. It's not just music. It's podcasting. It's anybody who is not going to settle for what's being crammed down our throats. Right. We are the rebellion. And it comes in many different forms. Some people are musicians. Some people are podcasters. Some people are poets. Some people are artists. Absolutely. There's some people who are preachers. There's people who aren't any of that stuff, but they are parents. Right. You know? And you're on the front line of the next generation of you're a parent. Right. And so it doesn't matter who you are. If you have this spirit, this rebellion spirit of where we're going in the world, you are part of the rebellion, find your place in it. And so you guys are doing great with the music and we are joining forces here with what we do and we're going to
