The Hope Hotline | S02-E13 | 03-08-24

Welcome to the Hope Hotline. It is Friday and I, as I said to Tom before I left the house, I am weekend minded. He's like, what, what are you wearing? You're not even dressed up. I said, I don't dress up on Fridays. I'm already in the weekend. Right. His response was not very kind.

I don't even remember what it was, but was the tone it was the tone it was more like i think it was like something like okay like that and i'm like well that's not very nice and he's like i said okay like no it was the tone of the okay he bursts into laughter Because we get off on the tone. Yeah, of course. Because we're tone police in the Lightroom House. Very, very tone. So what do you guys got going on this weekend? Anything good? Really?

What is that, another butter in your mouth right now? Oh, no. I'm snacking on some nuts. Pistachios. I'll be specific pistachios thank you appreciate that never fails

your plans this weekend no your plans this weekend are snacking on some nuts are you sure about that I just spit if you need a camera on me yeah

right here what are you snacking on pistachios Jeff's Jeff's Jeff's hopes and dreams just went crashing Is the camera on me? Yeah, it's right here. Spatios. Jeff's hopes and dreams just went crashing. Is he on Facebook? Is that course joking? It is. It is.

See, I'm in trouble. You are. You are. You're in trouble again. Warming up the crock pot. Oh, my gosh. With some, what is it? When you boiled nuts?

Oh, my gosh. Those things are kind of gross. They are nasty. Those are kind of gross. Don't have them. Those are kind of gross. It's like. The spicy boiled peanuts?

I don't know. It's like. They're so good. They're like. They're mush. Yeah. I don't do mush. I think soggy is not my cup of tea.

That was the word, soggy. I don't like sog. I think soggy is not my cup of tea. That was the word, soggy. I don't like soggy bread. I don't like soggy squat. Oh, soggy. Soggy nuts are definitely the worst. Who said that? Not me. Yeah, not happening.

Oh, sorry. That was not me. No, that wasn't Hope. Leave it to the heathen over there. Right at the end. I can never. The heathen, right there. I was about to turn it on me.

Don't do that. Not this time. So my plans are. I digress. Back to you. We're taking the kids tomorrow to swim with some manatees. Where is that at? By the Crystal River.

Like over there. Oh. I know. So fun. Oh, that's right. So we're doing that. I'm doing announcements. Nobody will show up now.

Oh, my gosh. That's right. That's right. You guys are doing Crystal River kind of. Right? I've been there. That's right. That's right. You guys are doing Crystal River kind of, right? I've been there. That's really nice. I know. We're looking forward to it.

Like, right about now, well, I think they're leaving, but there's huge amounts in the wintertime. Yeah. Yep. Huge amounts. Yeah. It's one of their. It's the place to be if you're a manatee at Crystal River.

There you go. That's right. That's right, because that water is like 75 degrees. Yeah. All the time. Yes. It's like San Diego is 75 degrees all the time. You want to be in San Diego outside of the liberal aspect of things.

But Crystal River, if you're a manatee there you go it's your place it's got it going on that does i would love to go to san diego just to experience that in the summertime like when it's the hottest of the hot like august and to see if it's really 75 degrees there yeah is it really have you been there at In August. Yes. It's 75 degrees. It's amazing. We used to live like an hour away. We lived in inland California. And where we were, it was like 104 degrees.

You drive up to San Diego and it's like a brisk 75 degrees. That's it. All the time. It says what they say about Hawaii. But I don't know if it's certain spots in Hawaii, but they say Hawaii is like consistently a cool. Okay. So the wind is always blowing in Hawaii.

Hey. That's one of the reasons why that little. Go ahead. Well, supposed fire spread like wildfire. Yep, exactly. I'm not a conspiracy theorist or anything, but when a whole town blows down. Except the Blue Roots. One fell swoop.

Except Oprah's house. Yeah. Oprah's house. Somebody right. Yeah, exactly. And then nobody will let you fix your house. Nope. Which, listen.

Yeah. I went to the vet this morning, and the inside is looks like what my house did about six. Maybe not even six. My house looked like that wasn't even six months ago. Yeah. My house looked like that in November. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. So theirs has no walls still. Yes. I can see right on through all the way to the back. Oh, wow. Yeah. They took a major hit just like we did. Yeah.

But still, I mean, if you think about it, the people in Hawaii, nothing has happened for them yet. And everybody's forgotten about them, which to me is disgusting. I know. It's disgusting. They won't let them fix their places, and they'll let them sell it, though. Of course. Of course they will.

I just, I mean, to me, I just know how hard it's been to put back my house. And I mean, for me, I'm just, now God will always set us up where it's better. And he will. Yeah. Even though the insurance companies don't want to do what they're supposed to do. God always takes care of it. So I'm not even worried. But for these people, like if they don't have God, like they at least I had a place to you.

Your house is destroyed. Yeah. And yeah, pretty much. But you at least can go to sleep in your house. The floors are done. The roof is on. You have no walls. I mean, there's a wall that's missing in the garage.

But it's fine. You're completely exposed in your garage. Completely exposed in the garage. But not the house. And the side of the house. Yeah. But that's like the bathroom. So if I put my finger through the drywall in the bathroom, yeah, I'd be outside.

Yeah. Because I can see your insulation. Yeah. Yeah. From the exterior. Yeah. I know you've seen it vanessa but you literally i mean half of her fireplace oh yeah chimney is the whole thing yeah gone yeah all the sightings gone and they didn't even somebody was telling me our general contractor today was saying how he knows of people christians that actually took more money than they were supposed to or like didn't tell the truth about their situation and they got a lot of money that they shouldn't have gotten yeah because it would never have

taken that to fix it right and then there's people like you and me. I kid you not, the guy that the appraiser for our house, not my appraiser, but my appraiser told me this. My appraiser told me that the insurance appraiser, the mediator guy, he said, I have never met more honest people ever when I walk through their house. Nobody has been as honest as they were when I walk through their house nobody has been as honest as they were when i went through their house right because i could have claimed stuff i already knew that was right previously there and everybody does yeah yep but also too it'd be he was like well what about this and i mean like no no no right you know because i'm not gonna do that yeah but at the same time we still got to honor it. I know.

But then you got the people. That's what my general contractor was saying. He's like, you know, you got the honest people who do what's honest. And then you got the shafters who ultimately affect the ones that do things honestly. They get the money. Because he was telling me about somebody with their roof. It's like, ain't worth heaven and hell. No, it's not.

No, it's not. I mean, oh my gosh. I know I'll come out on top. Yeah, me too. I'm not worried about it. Yeah, me either. But I'm not going to lie to get ahead. Yeah. So, but.

Thank you. And you know, what I thought about that later is when our adjuster told us what he said, I was like, he doesn't even know we're Christians. But what if he finds out later on down the road? Like, that'll make a great statement to him. Because I didn't like say, well, I'm a Christian, so I didn't do all that. But eventually you think maybe he'll wonder or he'll be like, I don't know. You never know.

If there's someone down the road, it'll come out. I don't know. It's amazing. So I feel bad for those people in Hawaii. Back to what you were saying. Even though I don't know how I asked you about this weekend and we get to nuts. We get to Hawaii. We get to a fire. We get to insurance. It's been 10 minutes and we've gone nowhere. But I'm just saying. Yeah. What are you doing, Tal?

Anything fun this weekend? Nope. She goes, nope. Not a thing. Usually you got a bunch of girlfriends or Norma. Norma. Poor Tal. Norma looks like she's about to cry. I mean, Norma.

Talia looks like she's about to cry. No, Talia's been busy. Talia just came back from a rodeo. Are you tired? Yeah. She just did the rodeo with Vanessa. Mm-hmm. Rodeo clowns.

Mm-hmm. So much fun. With Heather. Yeah. My mom used to do those. They said they're great fun which is right up my alley but the only problem is

is you have to like be around a lot of people oh my gosh I'm not really up for that I know there's no private like showing no

maybe we should request one just for you guys I know I don't know that I mean I like them and that seems like fun but

seems like a lot of work to go to the rodeo was it a lot of work I know. I don't know. I mean, I like them, and it seems like fun, but it seems like a lot of work to go to the rodeo. Was it a lot of work? I know you guys are all dressed up in your cowgirl garb and stuff. Did you dress up like a cowgirl, Talia? Of course I did. Interesting. Cute. Cute.

people like if you live in the area how often does Arcadia do this rodeo? I think it's at least twice a year oh that's it? I know that's it? I know. Three times this year. That's it?

I know. I might have to do it. Once in August. Oh, man. In October, we're doing it. October is the best. It's the best. I went last October, and that's when I was hooked. That's kind of like a Sadie Hawkins kind of thing.

You guys know about Sadie Hawkins? What's that? That's when a girl asks a boy to a dance, right? That's when you can ask a boy out so you could do a date night because back then, back in my day Sadie Hawkins, we all dressed up in overalls

it was very cowboy, cowgirl very country so you could do a Sadie Hawkins thing in October girls ask boys on a date that's so cute. Let's do it. You have until October.

I might just go stag because I tried to get Derek to take me on a date tonight and he was like you got yeah but this is theme oriented yeah exactly maybe when my perfume hey we could do

it we could do a sadie hawkins church theme let's do it oh we have but the problem is is i cannot coordinate tickets i cannot coordinate tickets for people. What about Heather? Could Heather coordinate? Are you kidding me? Heather, aren't you bored? She will kill me. What else is she doing? She's not busy. I'm just kidding, Heather.

I love you. You're so busy. She's not watching, I don't think. I think she's working on something. She might be listening. I feel like she's always listening. Oh my gosh, she'll kill us. No, do not volunteer.

Yeah we go say sadie hawkins style right in october in october i might be going stag so sarah will you be my date yes i will that's perfect hey you're my backup just in case oh my. In case I get turned down by my boyfriend. I personally never asked anybody. There's like food trucks. There's like little boutiques. It's a whole thing. Oh, that's fun.

It's so much fun. Heather is watching. See, Heather was just joking. Just a prank. Heather said I'm in. Okay, good. To doing the tickets, you've lost your mind. No, she's not. She wants to go.

Yeah. So, okay. So they do it three times a year. Yeah. Yep. And Heather told me this guy, the last few minutes broke his leg. Oh, it was so bad. Oh.

I couldn't look away. Really? I can look away. Me too. I'm trampled. No. I'm really stomped. Yeah, I can look away. Me too. Trampled. No. Stomped. Yeah, that would not be good for me.

Survives, like is a cancer survivor. Oh my goodness. It wasn't that one. Oh. Don't trust Vanessa with stories. How old was I before? Never mind. That's what I stood up for.

Go back to eating your nuts, Vanessa. Oh, my gosh. I did think a bronco. Do what you do best. I did think a bronco was a bowl. So I should not. I should not have any opinion on the rodeo. Okay.

Nice try. It's okay. Yeah, you definitely don't come back. New York does not have rodeos. No. In Brooklyn. Yeah. Brooklyn does not.

Okay. So what do you got plans? Oh, okay, you got it? Okay, let's do this. Look how cute. Look at it. Look at the girls. That is adorable. Okay, so let's name who they are.

Okay, okay, okay. I'm going back. I'm going back. Let me see this one. Okay, so we have Stella in the pink hat and we have Allison, my little girl in the middle and of course Brinley on the other side. And then we've

got the whole crew. There they are. Look how cute they are. Cowboy hat. I love it. Super cute. I love it. How is it that Madison is wearing nothing cowgirl, but is the hottest one? It's true. She's a cutie.ie talia don't look too shabby herself but i'm just saying madison looks like daggum queen she's she's a cutie and then

we've got these two girls and then this is the video okay watch 2d space the whole time a fly is gonna go in there. And then Creighton follows. So that was, yeah, that was. Oh, my gosh. Yeah, that was the cute. It was so funny. She was like. So what happened was I just.

I didn't get the backstory. What part was that? Do you remember? They were freaking out over everything. Every little thing. It was so funny. There was dogs that were like pulling the horses and they were like, they were like laughing like the whole entire time.

That doesn't look too small either. That was probably during the actual bulls. Yeah, that's some scary stuff right there. Oh my goodness. Okay, so Sarah, what do you have going on? Nothing.

Nothing but the rent. Like I said, I tried to get Derek to take me on a date. And he was like, meh. Well, you look cute today. So maybe that'll help. Yeah, we'll see. Better than the last time we were here. Because apparently, you look like Melissa McCarthy.

No, you're not. Yeah, I am. I'm bringing it. Poor Vanessa had to walk out of this place with her tail between her legs. She's already forgiven. We've already moved on. Vanessa's saying Sarah looked like Melissa McCarthy in some, I don't know if it was a lesbian movie or I don't know.

Was it? No. I don't know because I don't watch her. Tammy, the movie Tammy. I didn't think it did at all. But you look way different today than you did. You've healed her.

You've been healed. I'm famous for it. It's what I'm good at. It just came to my mind because I'm like, oh, she's so girly. Her hair is all flipped to the side. And then I thought, well, that's a little

different than Melissa McCarthy last time. Okay. There we go. It was the work shirt. Work shirt and work pants. I had a wife beater with a work shirt over it. Was I wearing a hat? No. Headband.

She had the headband. What is it called? What are those girls with the headbands? What's the new... Katie dresses like Bohemian. That definitely did not look like that. No. You look like work boho.

that's if i feel like it right it's supposed to be raining potentially true yeah you're right yeah it might because a cold front is coming on Monday. All right. Let's get to it because 40 minutes. You definitely want some questions answered today. No, I'm just joking. I'm excited. Let's do this. I know you guys are all excited about this one.

What do you guys know, this person that asked this question or something? Do you know anything about this? Both. Yes, I know both. I know who asked and i know that i know about it okay not a lot but i'm i know nothing okay and i'm answering it love it love it let's do it okay well i should say i knew nothing before yeah right now i know something okay i've been hearing more about the process of grounding as a way to restore the natural defenses of your body to keep our immune system strong. It has been researched to also decrease inflammation, reduce chronic pain, improve sleep, and repair muscle damage.

Grounding can also be called earthing and is defined as electrically reconnecting you with the earth. It can be as simple as walking barefoot or lying on grass or sand or submersing yourself in lake or ocean water. There are also many items available like grounding mats, sheets, blankets, and socks that can be purchased. Some of these require use of an electrical outlet as the outlets are also grounded. It's an interesting modulated model, whatever. And if effective, can be used instead of medications. Please know I'm not advocating it and there isn't a lot of evidence-based clinical studies to prove its efficacy. I'm interested in your thoughts on this type of modility. That's its model of healing. I don't know, whatever. I know that God is our

greatest physician and we should be standing in our healing while we are standing and working to receive our healing. Many are still on medications, supplements, and using other types to treat symptoms. Do you view grounding as another tool to treat symptoms, or is this getting too close to the line of paganism? I know paganism to be the worship of the creation and not the creator. If we are using what God has given to us and giving him the glory of providing us with healing, is this okay? Looking forward to hearing your biblically grounded ha-ha answer. Have you guys ever heard of grounding up until this time?

Yes. I have. Yeah. Never in my life had I ever heard of it. It's like, what the ground what? I love you hope not a clue i was i learned i part of me was like this cannot be actual factual but you know what there's so many cray cray things out there it probably i was like i bet you it is because there's some nutty nut out there making up whatever they want to try and sell some

kind of something to make some kind of money. Something, something. Mm-hmm. So this is what I learned. And this is what I think based on what I learned. I think it's a whole pile of hooey. They have no proof whatsoever this works at all. None.

It's like COVID. I mean, it's about as accurate as COVID, which ain't accurate, FYI. If you believe in it, study it. But there's no proof of anything with this so save your money not that you were going to spend it i think this is just a question if you know the person then this person probably does not really believe in it they're just trying to find out about it yeah yeah yeah because there ain't no way yeah but still i bet you there are people who do. I mean, like how in the world? Where do you hear about grounding from?

I mean, where do you see this? I've never seen this, and I see I'm out there. It's very new age. I mean, I'm not out there out there, but I'm out there. I mean, yeah, it's very new age, very hippies. They dabble in this stuff because of negative energy, positive energy, energy. There we go. Vibes.

Yeah, but even I have studied new age and I've never seen where it talked about grounding when I was studying it. I'm a part of like natural remedy pages. And that's how I was like not introduced to it but I was like holistic yeah kind of holistic yeah see and I am all about not using medication for the most part right but I'm not into buying the kits where you're like right because I've known people who use them and they don't do squat. Like even some of the herbs and stuff like that, they do nothing. So they're like, let me get out my thing. And they bring out this big, huge box and they start putting all these little, these little digits of pills or whatever.

And they're not really pills. And if you combine this one and you add two to here and you put three of this one in here. And by the time you got to stack that big and just give me a Tylenol. I know. Exactly. Because you've got to stick them under your tongue. They've got to dissolve for X amount. It takes so long and you've got to do it a million.

I know. I know. I'll pray off my headache. Thank you very much. Or whatever. You know what I'm saying? So that stuff, to me, don't work anyway. But I do, like essential oils oils i think that that's i don't really do the those

kit thingies but there are some truths to essential oils now essential oils is that a part of a holistic grounding thing too right well it's in the same vein i think yeah yeah do you do the essential oils or do you or do you do the little kits and did i just bust on you for the little no i don't i don't do you know what i'm talking about it's a diffuser you do the essential oils or do you do the little kits? And did I just bust on you for the little kits? No, no, no, I don't. I don't. Do you know what I'm talking about? It's a diffuser. You do the diffusers. I do the diffuser.

I don't put essential oils on me, but I will diffuse them. Yeah. I like that. That's what I've done too. Yeah. But you know what I'm talking about though. I know exactly what you're talking about. Yeah.

Yeah. They don't work. I've known. you think they do no i mean nobody nobody that i know listen i'd rather go out and get some rub root or something like that put it in a pot stir it up eat the thing before i eat one of those little suckers that think that it's gonna work give me some seaweed i'll break it down into a tea i mean come on hibiscus leaves i know i have a better chance of solving something with that than those little rubik's cube peanut pea thingies whatever pills i know i mean literally it's a concoction it's a scientific

concoction they have a chart that says if you are suffering from this then you have to pull these ones out and you have to pull these ones out. Have you ever seen it before? What I'm talking about? Not to that level. No. They have vials, and these vials have these little white,

round, circular pill thingies. They're tiny. Yeah. And you literally have to count out the number of whatever. Too much work. They don't work either. Not one person I know that's ever done it i'm like save your money that's like hundreds of dollars for those things do they have a name for this vitamin b shot or something i mean at least it's real i know is there a name for this like whatever that is yeah but i can't remember what it is if you look up herbal not herbal if you look up

hold on okay maybe if you put in holistic medical kits okay then you'll see it I'm probably busting on somebody's chops right now because they're probably saying, I use it and it works. I don't know of anybody who's ever used it and it works. Are you seeing what I'm, it's like a kit. And there's like, depending on the size, you can get, people buy these things even for like apocalypse. Okay. Because you can, because they're all natural. Put in all natural medicinal kits.

Maybe that's it. And then you can put it on the screen. But I'm just telling you, I don't know of anybody who's ever used them. So grounding is part of the holistic. Yeah. Like there's people right now cutting out the soles of their shoes.

So it looks like you wear shoes when you go into public and you don't get in trouble, but you're not, you're still grounding yourself. Like that's a real thing right now. Did you see it? You know that? Yeah. It's a tech talk trend. And they're exactly what, like they're hippies.

Like they're exactly what you think they would look like, but they get in trouble for going into stores without shoes on. So they're the ones with the dreads. Yeah, just like in general. You can tell. They're natural. Very natural people. Very calm.

And they just want to not wear shoes. So they cut out the soles of their... A weed a day keeps the doctor away kind of thing like that yeah usually they're tokers i mean it's true oh yeah yeah of course right because that's natural yeah it's all natural if god made it right exactly you know what i would say to people like that if you can it like trees have bark on it so would you go like pick a piece of bark off and start like smoking that like why like i know it does stuff to you but like just because it's natural you don't go and like start picking off like well especially when it's

clear that it fries your brain okay so why would you do something that fries your brain and also but spiritually speaking anything that alters you is like being drunk. So it's heaven and hell. I mean, if you want to smoke weed, go ahead. But don't think you're going to heaven. It don't work like that. It's no different than drinking alcohol. Right. And people don't, you know, people will say that I do it for Medicaid.

That's it. Is it? Okay, it's really blurry. I'm trying to get it up. Before I did it, I wanted to make sure. People will say that this is not about grounding. But people will say they get high because it helps them. Somebody has a question about CBD oild oil which i'll touch on

which might go into this too but um that's coming up i don't know how many podcasts from now but um see people will say they smoke weed because medically it helps them and my thing to that would be so they also say you can drink a glass of wine, you can drink a can of beer. But if those things, just because man says you should do it and that it's okay to do it because it medically helps you, when you go to heaven and Jesus says, the word says not to be drunk, then he's going to say, oh, your doctor said that it's okay? Come on, write in.

He's going to be like, no, my word also says I will heal you of all your diseases. He says we're to have a stable mind. You know, so that's not going to work. Just because the doctor says it's okay and he gives you a prescription for it doesn't mean you should do it. And lots of people think because it's medically legalized, then it's okay. It's not okay, though.

It's not. It's still wrong. And there's, I mean, you want to risk heaven and hell? Keep doing it. I mean, that's how I feel. But anything that harms you, which getting high, smoking a joint, it does. It fries the brain cells. So if it fries your brain cells, I don't really think God says to not destroy his temple.

So if you're like getting high, you're destroying your temple, that's another one right there. Not worth it. And so for me, I don't know it's not I wouldn't do it not and and especially if you call yourself a Christian I doubt whether how mature you are and your walk as far as that goes you know right I always ask people too because I like I had a friend that was dabbling with it because she was having pain in her back and it was the only thing that was taking away the pain. And, uh, I asked her, I'm like, okay, so at what, like, when do you stop the, like one puff wasn't enough. So then it's two puffs and then it's three puffs and then it's four puffs. Like at what point do

you get to a place where. Well, they say it relaxes you okay but my thing so does alcohol right right right and any again it's an altered state yep it's being it's a buzz right so if you're buzzed you're high right and that means you're drunk it doesn't it I mean, when you have a buzz and you're driving your car, you can get arrested because you have a alcohol level that's altering you and how you can function. Same with being high. And that's one of the reasons like states that are allowing people like, like from down from my gym, it's a methamphetamine place, right?

It's for, but I'm like, no, all that is, is a meth, meth, it's called methadone. Clinics.

Yeah. I said, that's a meth house. That's all that is. It's not a clinic. All it is, you should see the people coming in and out of there. It's like diametrically different.

You got people over here taking care of their body. you got ones that are destroying it yep and and those people that are on the methadone it's so that you can wean off of it they never wean off of it all you're doing is legalizing them to drive behind a vehicle a you know some of them are in work trucks and they're you know it's so funny to me. The ones that are in their work trucks, they park way down at the very end and nobody knows. They're picking up their meth and they walk all the way down to the meth clinic.

I'm like, why are you hiding it? If you're so proud, if it's so okay, then why are you hiding it? Be proud of what you're doing, but it's not right. Sarah, I keep looking at sarah because sarah's face i'm like something's going on in sarah's brain well because there's meth and then there's methadone and they're different i'm not saying that either one is good but you're talking about which is like but there it's to wean you but. Well, I know what methadone is for. Yeah. It's to get people off like heroin, basically. But meth is different.

But I'm just saying. Well, I'm just calling it. Because to me, they're all hard. They're hard drugs. Yeah. So I call it a meth house because it's like, what's the diff? You know, both of them are major drugs. They're putting out major drugs.

Maybe not meth, but I'm just saying. It's all about money, too. Yeah, it's 100% about money. Right. I agree with you. Yep. That's what I was saying to the owner of our, I think it was the owner, it was their instructor. I'm like, well, there's a money pit down there.

It is a disgusting place that they rent out, cost them probably $1,000, and they're making millions off of that $1,000 a month place. Yep. It's terrible. And the people walking in there with their little children that aren't even in school yet, walking in there with, oh, it's just terrible. My heart breaks for the kids when mommy is walking in to get her stuff, and it's little girls.

It just breaks my heart. It's rough. But if you think it's okay, it's not. This is what I'm referring to. It took me forever, but I got it. That's it right there. That's it. So what you do is you mix all of these little pills together.

See, it says 36 Remedy, Materia Medica. I don't know why that says that. But that basic guide to homeopathy, what that does is it tells you, like, if you're sick, if you open that booklet, it'll tell you, like, if you have a cold, all the ones of those little vials

that you have to open up and the number of little pills that are in them that you have to take. And you stick them underneath your tongue. They dissolve. Voila. You're better. Voila. You're not, though.

FYI. Save your money. They don't work. Yeah. They look like the teething pellets. Have you ever seen those? I remember those. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I remember those. They are the size of a baby aspirin. And I loved baby aspirin. I got a headache to my mom. All I wanted to do is chew the baby. They tasted so good to me. What? I love baby aspirin.

I'll make up any reason. The orange ones. Oh, OK. Like, oh, they're so good. Yeah. The chewable ones. Yeah. Yeah.

OK. Yeah. Because there's like all day long. There's like baby aspirin that's like white, right? And it like dissolves and it's nasty. But then there's like the kids Tylenol, like the baby Tylenol. I don't remember the name of, well, we didn't have Tylenol back in the day. Okay. Okay.

I was before Tylenol. But it was called baby aspirin. That's all it was. I don't even think it had a name. But this baby aspirin tasted like sweet t it was. I don't even think it had a name. But this baby aspirin tasted like sweet tarts. The orange sweet tart. Okay. Well, what in the world was that?

I have an ear now. I'm sure everybody just heard Vanessa's nuts just burp. Burp right out of her. Never fails. Never fails.

Is it like a cough or what? No, that's a burp. It sounded very... Burp-ish. That's it. That's them. I'm stuck on the burp. So is Vanessa. I'm crying.

I'm crying. Vanessa, was that your nuts? I was clearing my throat. And she burped. And you burped, didn't you? Did you burp? No, I was clearing my throat. It sounded mucusy.

All this talk of municipal medicine. It was too much. She can't handle it. What is it? I don't know. Medicinal. Wait, wait, wait. That's fine because I couldn't read that word that was put on there.

We're a crew. Doesn't matter. We're a crew. Vanessa, matter. We're a crew. Vanessa, will you go with me to my Sadie Hawkins dance? Let's make it a threesome. Put it back up there. That's what I would,

I would ask my mom. Mom, can I have some aspirin? I wasn't sick. Give me some of that bear's children. Chewable. Yeah.

So good. Okay. I'm so glad I have you around. I've some of that bear's children. So good. I'm so glad I have you around. I've never seen that before. Me either. That's because you weren't around then. I looked up, yeah, I looked up 1960-ish vintage. B-Y-T. No, B-Y-F-T.

Before? No, B-4. B-Y-T. Wow. Welcome to the Hope Hotline This is real That is very blonde So that wasn't a burp That was you clearing your throat

That was disgusting I know I'm going to just tell you, that sounded like a You know, a burp. I'm going to just tell you, that sounded like a burp. Now I'm afraid to make any noise at all. I can hear everything now. I know, back in the day. Erin hooked me up. I can hear everything.

I feel like I'm a newscaster right now. Oh, there it is. I can hear everything. What did you say? I'm like, hello. No more of that. Yes, you can. What did you say? I'm like, hello. No more of that. That changed last podcast. I got added in here.

I love that boy. All right. Moving along. Did we answer the grounding question? I'm moving along to the grounding question. I'm like, wait. Okay. I'm moving to the reason why we're here.

It's where I'm moving to. Okay, great. Here we go. Let me ask you, what happened with Tal? Oh, she is finishing cleaning. Ah, okay. She has other jobs. She's a multitasker.

Well, we miss her. Okay, so grounding isn't related to paganism fyi it is to it is related to pantheism okay and what pantheism is it's a view that god is everything and everyone which is new age right very very that makes sense that it's a new age thing and that everyone and everything is God. Pantheism is similar to polytheism. Have you guys ever heard of either one of these? Polytheism? I've never heard of either one of these.

Of what? Polytheism? Yes, that's more than one God. Yeah, but like I've never like, but that's new age. It's also Hindu, right? Yeah. And isn't like the Greek gods, like isn't that poly New Age. It's also Hindu. Yeah. And isn't like the Greek gods? Like isn't that Pali?

Yeah. Which is what is the Greek gods? Who does the Greek gods? I know in Roman times they did. Studying it. There was the Greek gods and then there was the Roman gods. And they kind of were the same, but they changed their names. So it was a different time period.

Oh, really? I didn't know that. Greeksreek earlier they were earlier and then they were roman look at that interesting many ancient cultures are polytheistic. Yeah, it's like that house that I went to when I was selling real estate. Like she had like, and then there was two houses that I've been into, not recently, but like they had their shrines and all their shrines had so many gods. Even she was Buddhist and she had so many different, which I thought the Buddhists were just, you know, one.

Yeah, Buddha. That's it. One God. That's it. Did you know that they did a whole bunch of other? See, I did not know that. But I knew the Hindus did, and I knew New Age did. Yeah, what's our Cambodian chick saying according to uh according to google it says buddhists have no gods buddha was not a god the deities yeah that's not true though she was buddhist deity

is a god i mean it's the same right so i don't like little g right right that's what it that's what it's saying is buddhists gods. I don't know. Who knows? Who knows with this stuff? Yeah. There's Sarum. We need her. Sarum, where are you? Where are you, Sarum?

We need you. Pop back on. Interesting. Who else knows? Anybody else? Very interesting. I got to, hold on. I got to put my phone on do not disturb.

Okay. Because those stupid calls um okay so but polytheism like I didn't know that meant worshipping multiple gods I've never even heard of that before I also didn't read a lot

in school Sarah did yeah just in case. Happy to help. Is that what you said? Yeah. Yeah.

I mean, that's pretty interesting. Pantheism, had you heard that before? Yeah. Well, aren't you the brilliant one in the room? Yeah. Let's S-communicate from her. Yeah. I'm breaking up with you, Sarah.

Yeah. Sorry. Just for a second. Then we can do it again. Yes. Okay, so polytheism is the belief in many gods, but goes beyond polytheism to teach that everything is God. Which is crazy to me.

So a tree is God, a rock is God. This is pantheism. This is what pantheism. A tree is God, a rock is God, an animal is God, the sky is God, the sun is God, and you are God. Yeah. new age because isn't new age more about not that you are god but you you are a spirit and that your spirit is like like a god but it is not god isn't that what isn't that yeah it's not that you are god though new age New Age is not, right? It's like the universe stuff, like the universe and. And you are part of the universe.

Yeah. And so we're all connected. But they believe, but see, New Age believes that your spirit is clean and pure and your vessel, that whatever it does, you're not accountable for it. Because you can't control that. You're trying to for it. Because you can't control that. You're trying to perfect that, but you don't control that. But your spirit is perfect. That's what confuses people with Christianity,

because it's very similar to how Christianity believes you have a spirit, soul, and body. And that's why people who are in New Age, it's very difficult for them to get out of New Age, because they already believe that they are a Christian, because they even worship Jesus. Everything. Yeah. Yeah. So Cindy Glass. Yeah. Our Cindy, she said it's worshiping the creation as part of the creator, the universe. I think she. Which one is that? Is she saying new age is like that? New Age, yeah. Say that one more time for me. It's worshiping the creation as part of the creator, the universe. So are you part of the creator then?

Are you part of the universe? The creation. Mm-hmm. See, that's, which one are you then? I don't know. I don't know. Do you know? Have you ever studied that? Because that's which one are you then i don't know do you know have you ever studied that because that's not so are you age is is more of a range of beliefs it's not you can't like really nail it down because some things are considered to go within like the new age like crystals

yeah our new age but some people only do crystals. They don't have the shrine. The lady that I knew in new age, she had the crystals, but she had all of the different, like she had a Buddha, she had like everything. And then there's like astrology is kind of a new age thing. She had that too.

But it's more of a range of beliefs than like where Christianity, which is monotheistic. Right. One God. One God. That's like it's very straightforward.

There's Jesus is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the father but through him. Whereas New Age is like there's many different ways to God. And angels are highly are highly esteemed. Yeah, they talk about angel numbers and positive thinking. Yep. And then the healing through your hands. Reiki. Yes.

It's very complex. It's all a knockoff, though. It is. Because I tried to witness to somebody who was new age that I had hired. I tried to witness to him. And everything that I had, that's one of the reasons why I had to study it, because I was trying to win him to the Lord. And everything that I had, he had a counter to it. But it was so, like, oh oh my gosh, it was so evil.

Yeah. The bot, not, he didn't think it was evil, but if you understood what the foundation of it all was, you're like, dude, this is demonic. Yeah. He wanted to come in and, uh, this is when somebody in the family wasn't well, he wanted to come in and lay hands on them and his energy. And I'm like, dude, you aren't, I told him, I'm like, you are not coming near anybody in my house.

That is not allowed. I appreciate the heart behind it, but it's demonic. It's like a counterfeit. 100% it's a counterfeit. Of what we do as believers and what we believe, new age is like the counterfeit version. Yes. And it's very hard for them to understand that we do not serve the same God.

Yeah. Because they believe with all their heart because they believe in angels and they believe in Jesus. And the Creator. Yeah. That they do follow it. They're just more open-minded that they see that the other gods have benefits and things that they offer and that you may not get to heaven through them like you do through Jesus,

but let's not take away their value is basically what that guy was like. And I'm like, yeah, but you cannot, God's word is true. You cannot serve two masters. And he didn't see it like that a lot of new age is about emptying of self like emptying yourself out is that where the crystals are because I think that they stand in front of them well they stay like charge them in the full

moon right they do all kinds of weird stuff with the crystals but it's about emptying yourself whereas god has given us all things to hold you know to godliness and we're supposed to be filled with the the knowledge of him and the fullness of god so it's that's where it's there's like a huge difference emptying yourself what happens when you like empty yourself it. It's open for whatever wants to come in there. Oh yeah. Whereas when you have Jesus and you're sanctified with his blood, then you're protected and you're filled with the fullness of God. Right.

But grounding though, there's some like interesting biblical, I think crossing over, like we're made from the dust of the earth. And I know when i went through a really difficult time that like being out in nature was that's not grounding though not based on what they say not by based on what this this thing said about grounding when everything that i read about it medically speaking because when you go and look at not doctors i didn't go to the doctors because

obviously they don't believe in anything else. But pharmaceuticals, drugs, I'm not for that either. But go ahead. Finish what you were saying because that's not. There was nothing about the sun. Like how the sun is so important for you. Right. Like for me, that makes common sense.

That's why God made the sun for the vitamins that it provides for us. So what are you saying about the ground and the earth? I'm not saying. No, no, no. I'm saying, I'm not saying that's what you're saying. I'm saying, what are you trying to convey through what you were just, before I interrupted you? That's okay.

I'm just, I feel like, again, it's a counterfeit. Whatever they're trying to do with this earthing, some people call it earthing or grounding or forest bathing. I mean, there's all these terms for it where it's just like, you know, even the rocks cry out, you know, like being in God's nature, like in Romans it talks about how he makes himself known through his creation. So again, it's just one of those things where the world has taken it and tried to use it for their benefit

without giving God the glory and submitting to Jesus. It's like, oh, I want the benefits of grounding or earthing. See, for me, I get what you're saying, but it's like going to the Dead Sea. You're going to float in it, and it has great medicinal purposes because just of the salt levels and the things that it does for your... Right. But at the end of the day, like, it's not, for me,

it's not like she's saying. It's all to make it be as though it is something holistic outside of God being the creator. I think it's very dangerous because there are lots of things that God created. There are certain, I'm making fun of it, but there are certain things that grow that God created that we could just pick up and eat and and and our

stomachs would be settled do you know i'm saying ginger being one of them things like that i'm so i'm not discounting those things but what i think is is when we make it into like what you're saying a counterfeit that it's it's it's got its own religious... I don't even... Because it's not a religion to me. It's a cult to me. Like New Age and stuff takes things and they make it be something it's not

based on what God created. And they tainted and distorted. It's so dangerous to me. So for me, grounding is very dangerous. I don't see any real medicinal purposes behind it. I do see purposes in going out in nature, fresh air, vitamin D, going out. Or is it vitamin D is the sun? Yeah, that's what I thought.

Gardening, like if you actually touch, there's things that. And the soil. Anti-depressant qualities in the soil. So I don't know but that to me is not but that's just like getting out there and doing what our purpose is and because we do our purpose like we are supposed to plant and garden and and make our own food and things like that we should be doing that instead of relying on other people. Through that process, there are benefits to us, but I don't really think that God intended them to be

a theory of something else. Do you know what I'm saying? Other than you just do it, something good happens from it besides just getting food and you move on. Right. I just, I don't know. Like you ain't gonna see me cutting out the soles of my shoes and walking around 7. Yeah, right. I just, I don't know.

Like you ain't going to see me cutting out the soles of my shoes and walking around 7-Eleven or Walmart. Not me. Disgustola. I am not. What's her face that did that? Walked around and went into a bathroom.

That was Britney Spears. Yeah. Walked into a gas station bathroom with no shoes on. Yeah, she did. Poor Brett. Well, let's think. She's got a screw loose anyway, so.

She's had a rough life. That poor thing. Can we just take her? I just want to take her and just like hold her like a baby. Well, here's my thing is, okay, at what point is she responsible for herself, though? I don't know. She's had a rough life.

Okay, she was under the care of her, she was under the care or under, she was under the care, or under her parents' wing until she was 18. Then she ran off and got married to some loon in Vegas. At what point do you say this is all me? Or do you just stay crazy? I think we need a conspiracy Britney Spears day and I'll bring all my facts. Free Britney.

Free Britney. Oh, are you a free Britney girl? I feel terrible for her. No, I don't think she should be free. I think she needs Jesus. She needs to come to our Tuesday group, actually, is what she needs. Hey, there's a lot of people who need your Tuesday group,

but those people that need your Tuesday group are all responsible for their actions. Don't be an ARC person with me right now. Don't go ARC on me, because I might have a real problem. It's the thought don't be an arc person with me right now. Don't go arc on me. Cause I might like have a real problem. It's the thought that counts, you know, she's,

she should be part of our tribe. You are like trigger words. Lots of trigger word. I know I'm about to have a nervous tick over here. It takes the village. Talia, please come back. She's so quiet.

She just sits and types. And normally when you sit over there by Sarah, nobody can hear you. How Vanessa has her own mic. I know. Normally it's, don't make me clear my throat again. We don't need those nuts coming back up.

Oh my gosh. Up in here. Up in here. Wrong song. Uh huh. Wow. I know it's the wrong song girl. But I could not resist

I'm gonna have to find out what is that that sounded right to me it is not right that it does not go with that song at all no it's gonna make me clear my mind up in here

I'll lose my mind yeah it's not even close Let's start our own song. Yeah. How can you start? The song I was singing is actually called Let Me Clear My Throat. That's the name of it. And yours is Up In Here, Up In Hurt.

Don't make me lose my mind. Right? Yeah. What do you think about grounding? Did you get to put your two cents in um i'm not a fan only because i feel like there are parasites that can enter my body from the ground so i'm not interested i just know you did research so i wanted to make sure. Just so you guys know. Just so, let me make something very clear. Please don't.

So that people fully understand. I am. Don't make it clear. I'm making it clear. First of all, Tracy and Vanessa are constantly talking to their parasites. Second of all, they're also getting rid of their parasites. Yes. They, on a regular basis it's very

important to do this do a parasite cleansing you don't even want to know how that happens you do that should be a whole podcast in itself oh we should we have so many ideas are they from your parasites yes actually actually whenever uh whenever uh tracy gets a really good idea, it's from her parasite. The parasite gave that to me. I'm like, it was. That's the Holy Spirit. No, no, no.

Her parasite. No, listen. Listen, the Holy Spirit gives me great ideas and my parasites tell me what to eat. And it's usually not good. Two separate things. No, they're never good. But I know exactly what it is. I never question it.

So it's just the way that it works. A lot of people around the world do parasite cleanses, okay? Yes. I was actually recommended to do one. Natalie told me I should do one. Your favorite person. It's okay then. No, I'm good. What? Come on.

You're willing to try about anything. You do about anything. This girl does, what's it called? When you do those 10 day Oh, the detox?

Detoxes. If you're going to detox your body, why don't you detox it from parasites? Thank you. You're never going to know what to eat. If someone buys me the thing, I'll do it. I'm doing it. I'm going to buy it for you. Then tell us what comes out. Did things come out?

Yes! I don't know about this. I had things come out of my nose. Vanessa? She did. Yes. That was true. I did. Jeff did it. Jeff did it with me. And he was like, okay, if I'm going to do this, I want to poop snakes. Nothing came out of the man. He was highly disappointed.

Highly disappointed. But something came out of your, I don't know. Yeah, you want to do it and then you want to tell us about it. But you're talking about Jeff and Vanessa who did those coffee. Oh my gosh. I didn't say nothing else. I stopped. I stopped. I wasn't going to finish it.

But I knew you would know what I was saying. You guys all know. I thought Sarah knew. I don't think they know. No, I'm not going to tell them. I know now. Oh, I know now. Wait, why is everybody saying ivermectin? Oh, because that's the parasite cleanse.

Oh, that's the parasite cleanse? We don't do that. We don't do that. We do drops. We do drops, yeah. That's because horses. That's what's so good for horses. So how is doing that different from grounding or different from all this other stuff we're talking about?

Yeah. Because then you get at least to see what's coming out of your body. You get to see the snake. It's exciting. It's a fun surprise every day. Every time scared no don't be scared so here's the thing if you're watching the podcast and you end up doing a parasite cleanse you know you can share with us too yeah pop into the live chat katie tell us what your parasites are doing. We've got Katie saying parasite cleanse is necessary. Everybody else is saying ivermectin.

Ivermectin? Yeah. Like they do ivermectin? Why can't I just have Jesus take my parasites? No, you like it. Because Jesus doesn't want your parasites. You make peace with them. Listen.

I'm just telling you. He don't want them. What if they're actually like supposed to be there? No. What if they're like little demons and that's what's actually coming out of you? No, don't over-spiritualize it. I know. See, slippery slope.

Hey, listen. Then that's one less demon that lives inside of you. Your family will be really happy. I don't want a demon coming out of my nose. Well, at least he's coming out. Yeah. At least he's coming out. Your family will be ever grateful.

We'll do weekly check-ins. How long is this thing? It's six weeks. I thought it was two weeks. No, no, no. There's a process. Tell them the process. So you do it for three weeks.

Yep. And then you take a week off. Right. You let all the parasites die. They lay eggs. So all the eggs have to hatch. Right. And then you do it for another three weeks.

Yes. And all the eggs are then hatched. Right. And released you do it for another three weeks and all the eggs are then hatched and released. Are released and they die and then you're good for the year. Yeah.

All done. For a whole year. No, there's one I don't think it's because I looked into it. I don't think I think the one that I saw

look it up. I think there's a two weeker. Maybe that's the ivermectin one. Maybe that's it. Yeah. I think it's normal. Seven week protocol. Ours is from Amazon.

What else do you do? It's a long process. Ours is from Amazon. Ours is from Amazon. I don't think you have to do it for six weeks. I think you can do it in two. I'm pretty sure. I'd rather do it for two weeks.

It was two weeks. I might be wrong about that though. Erin said it's so weeks. It was two weeks. I might be wrong about that, though. Aaron said it's so disgusting. He disgusted Aaron. Yes. What? Aaron's never done it. No, I guess not.

But he's disgusted by it, and I'm not sad about that. Two eight pairs. Yeah, well, he disgusts me So On a regular basis So It's a high time He's disgusted back Find it Really fast

I think ivermectin is like an ongoing, like daily. You can take it every day. That's what the Africans do. They do it every day. That's why they didn't get COVID. The Afrikaans, they do it. If you live in Africa, you're taking every day yeah you gotta do every

day there's parasites everywhere not kidding you sarah every day they take ivermectin they live on it what are you laughing at who said what i'll keep that crap inside well not necessarily because you aren are going to the bathroom. It's coming out somewhere. No pun intended. Hey, Vanessa, tell them worms how long they've been before. People have

gotten pulled worms out. Weren't you the one that told me about a cleanse where the parasites, they were really big when they came out? No, that was not me. But they can be. Yeah. They can be very long. Or maybe that's what I read when I was looking at it.

Up to 80 feet long. No. That's what it says right there. Health line. They can grow up to 80 feet long and live in humans for up to 30 years if you don't do a parasite cleanse. Could you imagine how good you will feel after that parasite comes out? After that 80 foot parasite comes out of you? You'll literally feel like a new woman.

You might be like 10 pounds lighter. Hey, you might lose some weight. That's 80 feet? If you haven't done one in 30 years, guys, you probably have an 80-foot parasite in you. So maybe just think about it. Or go to grounding. Or ground. Walk around with no shoes.

Walk around with no soles in your shoes around Publix or Walmart and you'll kill some parasites. Forest bathing and parasite cleansing. What is it? Forest feeding? Forest bathing. Bathing in the forest. Forest bathing.
