Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to PABN. You're going to have back the stability here. I want to first off thank GROK for transforming the PBN logo into Starry Night which is pretty freaking sweet. Play with some AI guys, I'm telling you. Don't worry, it's not gonna steal your life away from you. There are some serious limitations to what artificial intelligence is gonna be capable of and is capable of. And I posted something on Instagram about it. And it's just mimicking the real human experience.
Starting point is 00:01:09 It's never going to be a thing. I know. Bigger question. Are we health and wellness? Think about that for a minute while I take a sip of coffee. Is the Prepper Broadcasting Network a health and wellness podcast network? It's true that we are the Prepper Broadcasting Network, but in terms of categorical, you know what I mean? I can't have the world has changed so much.
Starting point is 00:01:51 So much like if you did health and wellness back in 2012, when we started prepping would be so far afield, right? You'd be, we would be like the foraging and the wild medicine and all the fringe regalia, no way, but the world has changed so much that I was thinking about this show today about talking about the prison of compulsion, which is exactly what it is. And we all fall victim to it from time to time. And I want to talk about it because I think I'm always lamenting what I miss out on, you know, the things that I miss out on. You know, all of that. I'm always lamenting that. It's just part of the deal. It's part
Starting point is 00:02:31 of life. But compulsive behavior, you can miss out on your whole life. You can miss out on every great thing that ever happens to you, you know, if you're not careful. And then it can get much worse, you know, it can get way worse than that. But as I'm putting this show together in my head, I'm sitting here thinking about the things that we talk about health and wellness, health and wellness, what the hell is wellness anyway? You know what I mean? And then thinking to myself like, is this whole network health and wellness? In the age that we live in, right, where we have no business, like no business, in taking, onboarding the amount of news that we take in every day. No business. You have no business reading about why the world is mad that Saquon Barkley met and played golf with Donald Trump
Starting point is 00:03:26 But even worse than that Because who cares and how is that even gonna affect you right but worse than that is You have absolutely no business worrying about the fact that yesterday China Put a flag on a shitty little island in the Pacific that no one cares about put a flag on a shitty little island in the Pacific that no one cares about. Yet, we stir that stuff into our brain and go like, oh, you know what I mean? Like something's gonna happen. Something's gonna change.
Starting point is 00:03:57 And, you know, in the face of all of that. See, so that part, that part you maybe you can get rid of. I don't know. I really don't know that we can get rid of this hyper, you know, almost traumatic freaking level of content that we take in on a day to day basis. So in terms of wellness, like, what do you do to combat that You can't meditate from sunup to sundown and even doing that's not gonna help you when you start seeing like oh We can't we can't really stop the war in Ukraine with Russia, right?
Starting point is 00:04:38 We don't have as much way as we thought we had and dancing around this Dancing around this situation with nuclear weapons might be a little harder than we thought. Everything goes back to being prepared and self-sufficient as possible. I can't think of a cornerstone of wellness in this modern age that has more strength, more power, utility. So my question at the beginning of the show, has the Prepper Broadcasting Network turned into a health and wellness, or are we in the health and wellness category? I flicked it on on the rumble stream today. What's up fire wolf forge and the Phoenix in the chat this morning?
Starting point is 00:05:32 Thanks for joining us. I Flicked it on health and wellness because of today's topic and then I really had a like a moment where I was sitting there like wow Things have changed You know what? I mean? things have changed. You know what I mean? Things have changed So the prison of compulsion PB and family do have an shtf chef today. I'll break this con content Concept up with that Because you know either you're gonna be into it or you're not, you know the thing about like a really compulsive person
Starting point is 00:06:00 They probably switched this off already That's the funny the funny part right Jay Ferg says it's both a physical and mental wellness yeah well that's the secret right you have to act there has to be action in order to get any kind of like mental wellness in order I don't really think it's possible to sit there and go oh god I'm in such a bad place mentally. I think I'm going to sit here and work it out by not doing anything physically.
Starting point is 00:06:32 For me, it's the total opposite. It's the total opposite. I'll always talk about like, and this is this kind of show, so I'll tell the story again. Really, really deep. Maybe one of the most standout depressions of my life. Here's the funny part about it. Like I don't even remember what the cause was now. I'm so far removed from it by años. Like I don't even remember. I don't remember why I was so depressed. But I
Starting point is 00:07:02 remember it being just unrelenting, you know what I mean? Like an unrelenting sort of depression. And I did two things. I went on a really long run and I was listening to Jordan Peterson. And Jordan Peterson mentioned something, right? Because of all the things that Jordan Peterson is and that we use him for in society today, what he is better than anything is a clinician. It's important to take advantage of that part of him too. It's good to sit and watch videos of him if you like him and he's picking ideas apart.
Starting point is 00:07:41 But go to him for the depression and the mental woes, you know, because that's really what he has done most. Anyway, he talked about this thing that I think is probably the most important thing that you can recognize about when you're feeling depressed being depressed. And he was talking about blowing up your entire map and if you've ever been in one of these mental fugu states like the chickens are chiming in and wait no no that is a chicken but anyway if you've ever been in a mental state like that, then you know that it's...
Starting point is 00:08:31 If you can recognize it, you can go a lot further. If you can say to yourself, oh, I'm in one of these situations. And one of the things that people do, one of the things that I do, lots of people do, is they start to blow up their entire map of life. They start to look at every decision hyper under the microscope and say, Oh, I did that. I shouldn't have done that. That's why I'm here.
Starting point is 00:08:53 And go back even for, Oh, I got that degree. I should have never got that degree. I got that degree. Then I got that job. Then I met that person. Then we got married and it all fell apart. And then you know what I mean? And you start to literally take your whole existence,
Starting point is 00:09:05 which is probably in most cases magnificent, and just nuke it. And basically simmering down to this one idea, everything I do sucks. You know what I mean? I mean, that's fundamentally the idea. I'm gonna let the dogs out real quick because we've had Fox attack after Fox attack lately. Not attack, but like it keeps coming. You know what I mean? What I'm gonna give you is a peek at this beautiful starry night. For those of
Starting point is 00:09:39 you listening to the podcast, just relax. All right, I'll be right back. Holy moly them dogs man Heaven help anything in that back yard because they go flying out of there like a hypersonic missile So right now Mike Mike It's kind of time for a computer upgrade if anybody would like to send me a new a brand new computer for a tax write-off Feel free I'm just kidding. I want the tax write-off. So yeah, that really pulled me out of that situation.
Starting point is 00:10:35 You know what I mean? That was one of those fundamental things where it was like, oh, okay, this is better. This is better. I see where I'm going off track and so on But it's a good tool if you ever find yourself in that kind of a situation now Let's talk about Let's talk about why nobody can
Starting point is 00:10:56 Make noise around you while why no one can touch you physically without you exploding why no one can Interrupt you when you're focused or else you throw the desk across the roof. Let's talk about the prison that is compulsion. You know what I mean? It's impossible almost in this modern age for us not to be at least somewhat compulsive. When I say compulsive, I mean always chattering in your head about what needs to be done, should be done, has to be done next, has to be done after that, has to be fixed, you know what I mean? Jumping from one lily pad of stimulation to the next, one lily pad of stimulation to the next,
Starting point is 00:11:46 one lily pad of fear to the next, one lily pad of pleasure to the next, just over and over and just on this compulsive ride where it never stops. And I don't know how you get there because I just woke up there. You know what I mean? It's one of those weird things.
Starting point is 00:12:05 It's like you're a kid. You don't give a shit, right, about anything. And then you're 25 and like all of a sudden you're a compulsive monster and you don't understand what happened like slowly you were on boarded into this compulsive mentality and most of the time Most of the time it just has to do with responsibility Really creating like One of the most devious things that we do as humans, and I don't know if animals do it I don't know if they can do it, but one of the crazy things that we do is we create horrors that never exist and likely will never exist I mean look at our whole entire thing as preppers right we're preparing for these things that might never happen I mean there's a
Starting point is 00:12:58 lot of things in the prepper world that will probably never happen if you're like a hardcore zombie apocalypse type, ain't happening. You know what I mean? So we create all this kind of stuff that sort of drives us up. I guess it's probably sort of like an addiction to, you know, all the feel-good chemicals, all the motivating chemicals that get us riled up. So we can do the things that we need to do, get through the things that we need to get through. Like I said, without hobbies, without good people in your life, without the ability to
Starting point is 00:13:35 recognize it, before long you are in this radical prison of compulsion just by way of living life. You know what I mean? Just by way of living life and it compounds and it gets worse and now we have the ultimate weapon against our consciousness. Really. Because like the antithesis of compulsion is consciousness. The antithesis of compulsion...if you think you're too compulsive You need to go stare at a rock for about 10 minutes I know that sounds stupid and the reason it sounds stupid because you can't do it Like if you're hyper compulsive the idea that oh, I'm gonna sit down and meditate for five minutes. That's hilarious
Starting point is 00:14:21 What is that gonna do that ain't gonna do nothing and? That is your body going listen I know this guy's talking shit but you know you can't sit still for five minutes without going completely insane but what you could do is you can mock him and you can let him know that his idea sucks and it's not gonna work Because that's exactly what it is Your resistance to those kinds of things your resistance to like taking the world in slowing down and taking the world in It's because there's a part of you that knows you can't do it or or if you do it it's going to be so bad Because that's how you beat it. I was lucky. I had
Starting point is 00:15:07 fishing. Something about fishing. If you think fishing is trivial, you are so far off. You are so wrong in so many ways. You know, leave the cell phone home and go fishing. What you'll find is that it puts you in a position where patience comes into play. Patience is a beautiful thing. Patience is such a beautiful thing this day and age. Another real enemy of compulsive behavior, right? It's like slow down and be patient. It's a lot in fishing that takes you out of that nightmare of compulsive behavior. You know what it's like.
Starting point is 00:15:58 You know what I mean? You're like a beaten dog at the end of the day because of all the built up compulsive realities of your life and Anybody who comes near you anybody who choose too loud thinks too loud. It's like you're ready to kill somebody You never liked that as a kid, you know what I mean Like that unless maybe childhood was really tough, but even then, you know what I mean kids are just they're they're way cooler And it's because they haven't built up this compulsion resume.
Starting point is 00:16:29 Now this thing right here is, this is the lament configuration. Raise your hand listening audience and tell me if you know what the lament configuration is, because that's what this is. I was thinking about that on the, on the rut taking my kids to school today I was pondering about this My youngest was asleep in the back of the car and I was looking at the phone and I was like, oh Cuz you know right this thing the phone puts off immense compulsive nonsensical insanity
Starting point is 00:17:03 Nothing feeds compulsive behavior like this phone. Right? You can play a game real quick. You can chat real quick. You can get on X and you can fight. You can get in real quick argument. Let's get that. Like have ourselves a real nice argument midday for no reason over something. It doesn't matter. Let's get into Instagram. Let's scroll. Let's see. Oh ah, it's an ooze and hot. You know what? I mean, it's it is like legitimately The source in the book the hellbound heart by
Starting point is 00:17:35 Clive Barker the movie hellraiser the hellraiser series These people seeking out the vastness of pleasures always happen upon the lament configuration. And lament configuration is this little box puzzle thing that basically is a gateway to hell and pain. Sound familiar? And you know what's funny about the lament configuration? If you've ever seen the movie, they like, it's a puzzle. So like, let me see if you can get my fingers. So they like use both their fingers.
Starting point is 00:18:10 You always seem like using their fingers on it, their thumbs. You know what I mean? They like rub their thumbs over it and they rub their fingers on the box and then, oh shit, it starts turning into something. And I was thinking about that. Like these are like everybody in the movie and there's only one like there's one lament configuration and the poor bastard that finds it is subject to you know the centibytes from hell but the reality is
Starting point is 00:18:40 man like we've all got our own little lament configuration that we open the door to hell and the prison to compulsion like right there it exists you know what I mean and I mean there are things you could do you know there are things you can do to stop it but takes immense willpower you know that's just what it is so on that note I think it's time we do a little SHTF chef. What do you think? I got a good one for you today. You guys are gonna dig it Where is it? Did I not upload it? Oh, you got to give me a second. I didn't put the recipe in yet Let's throw the recipe in
Starting point is 00:19:19 It's a good one. It's definitely prepper-esque, which I think is important for these. And don't forget the the SHTF Chef recipes are all captured at pbnfamily.com under the SHTF Chef show heading or whatever. The picture you scroll down into membership series, you'll see that series. And you'll always be able to revisit these without going through the whole show um, if you're a member over at pbnfamily.com Okay, so Let us get into it. It's been a while Let me get out of the way here that's not good enough. Let me get out of the way here. That's not good enough. Let me get out of the way here.
Starting point is 00:20:07 That's still not good enough. Don't I have one more? I'm like up right. I'll let you know what? Let's do that. You don't need to see me. So in honor of our buddies in Portugal and Spain, I thought we'd do a blackout black bean dip. That's kind of funny, kind of mean, whatever is what it is. But the blackout black bean dip, you know, this also can be kind of tailored to right cooking emergency food, cooking your, your food storage. Also don't forget about packfreshusa.com. If you are a black bean keeper, right? Like you want to keep your black beans, then you want to buy a 25 pound bag of
Starting point is 00:20:44 black beans for 10 bucks and store it long term Then you need these you need these incredible mylar bags from packed fresh USA. Why are these the best? Well, they're made in America. They're notched at the top They open at the bottom you fill from the bottom instead of sealing from the top Or sealing the top and you know And the kits that they sell over there come with oxygen absorbers. They come with everything you need to take something like a bag of black beans,
Starting point is 00:21:14 store it in a way that it'll last you until your kids grow up and you're handing them buckets when they go out the door. Oh, here you go. Throw this in your closet at your new house. Here's what it is. It's all in what you believe. If you think that everything's going to be A-OK forever, then maybe you're right. Probably not. There's the one I was looking for. So the Blackout Black Bean Dip PBN family.
Starting point is 00:21:37 We do a lot of things with black beans, black beans and rice. We've done morose over here. We've done we've done all kinds of stuff. You know what I mean? One of the things that happens with beans, particularly if you don't make them a lot and if you're not really in tune with how much you need, is you think to yourself, like, well, if I'm going to rehydrate these beans and I'm going to boil them for hours, why not make a bunch? And what happens is you wind up eating them a few times and then maybe making a soup or something along the and then you're
Starting point is 00:22:09 Like oh, what am I gonna do with the rest of this stuff? And then you know in an shtf situation the last thing you're gonna want to do is be like great now I have to throw all this food in the trash because it went bad Bean dips are delicious, man. You know, when I was in high school, like a vocational school, a chef from the CIA came in, not that CIA, the Culinary Institute of America came in, and made us a lima bean dip with rosemary and olive oil from frozen lima beans out the freezer. And that's fundamentally all it was, really.
Starting point is 00:22:46 It's like a bunch of olive oil ground, you know, lima beans in the in the mixer. And if I remember, olive oil, salt, pepper and rosemary chopped real fine. It was delicious. This one is better, better, more flavorful. There's more going on. I recommend you make this while everything's hot. You either make it after dinner, like you made the beans, you served them up with whatever you were serving them up with.
Starting point is 00:23:15 And while they're in the pot, while there's some warm cooking liquid, right, still in the pot, that's when you make this. You know what I mean? You can double, triple, quadruple the recipe, whatever you wanna do. But this is a good one, man, right? L2Survive pops in and says, most of the power is back in Europe.
Starting point is 00:23:33 In a week or two, you will find out it was caused by solar wind. Oh, solar wind? I said EMP, I said cyber attack. I wanna talk about that that but not right now. But go check out L2 Survives YouTube channel. We talked about his video yesterday. The the power bank video. Go check that sweet pedos. Power banks are evolving man. Then the one he's got is pretty cool. Pretty pretty awesome utility for backup power. So if you've got a mixer, you know, like a food processor,
Starting point is 00:24:07 that's probably about the best way to get your dip as smooth as the one pictured here. You may not like it that way though either. You know, a smooth dip is good, but some people like a dip with some onion in it, or maybe some chopped tomato in it, or whatever. If you like, you can also mash it. If everything's warm, the problem of the puree is not as much a problem. Like you can get away with a lot of stuff. If you had to, you could get it done with a fork, with a rolling
Starting point is 00:24:37 pin, you know what I mean? Something like that. If everything's cold, once the beans get cold and you're like, oh, I got all these leftover beans, let's do it, then you need machinery, right? Or you gotta reheat them, from my experience, right? I got two jalapenos in the recipe seeded and cut into like dice, small. Jalapenos are subjective, man, so do with it what you want, you know what I mean? Sometimes I take a bite out of a jalapeno and it tastes like a green pepper and then sometimes I'll take a bite out of a jalapeno I don't know why
Starting point is 00:25:10 Compulsive sometimes I'll just take a bite out of a jalapeno. It'll set my whole soul on fire So you never really know what you're getting with with those guys Two garlic cloves mince them up real fine if you're not gonna food process them But if you are, you know, I'd probably start with them first and then add the beans. You know, one thing that chunks of onion are okay, chunks of tomato are okay, chunks of jalapeno are okay. Not most people. Most people aren't gonna really appreciate like a giant chunk of garlic in their dip. And if they do appreciate it, their spouse
Starting point is 00:25:46 isn't going to appreciate it. Their children aren't going. Trust me. I crack garlic cloves and eat them whole. When I'm cooking with it, I just do that. And I feel bad for Lady Liberty, but it is what it is. You know what I mean? So then 1 1-2 teaspoons of salt, 1 1-2 teaspoons of cumin. You know what I mean? So then half teaspoon of salt,
Starting point is 00:26:05 half teaspoon of cumin. You can up the cumin if you really like it. I'm a big fan of it. Quarter teaspoon of chipotle chili powder. Chipotle chili powder in particular is dynamic stuff. It's smoky, right? It is hot. It's legitimately spicy. So you got to go easy on it. Depends on how hot you want your blackout black bean dip. You know what I'm saying? We're gonna open a SHTF chef restaurant one day maybe. Half cup of chopped cilantro. The fresh cilantro is key for me. One of the things that's kind of cool from a presentation standpoint is to take cilantro and sour cream and maybe even some of that diced stuff, the tomatoes and all that, and sit it on top in a way that
Starting point is 00:26:53 you see in the picture with the shredded cheese. Not mix it in, right? And then create, like treat it like a nachos kind of thing. The juice of a lime, essential. I like lime. And you don't have to do sour cream if you're not into it, but I think it's good. I think it's good mixed in. It makes it taste great, but I also think it's good on top, you know, stirred in as you're eating it with chips or whatever you're doing with it. But you can't have enough recipes for rice. You can't have enough recipes for beans if you are in the DIY food storage business as I am. And as I think all of you should be. There's nothing wrong with survival food.
Starting point is 00:27:35 Nothing wrong with freeze dried meals from this company or that company, whatever. They're hella expensive nowadays. And the other thing about them is, you know, you're probably not going to like all of them. Way better than starving to death. Chicken flavored rice is a gift direct from heaven as opposed to starving. But if you also have the ability to cook your own rice and your own beans and do what you want, I'd recommend that too. I think that's a pretty good move. You know what I mean? So, SHTF Chef, folks, I hope you like it. The black out bean dip. Should we keep it up?
Starting point is 00:28:18 Nah, let's go back to our PBN Starry Night. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. Let's go back to our PBN starry night. That's pretty cool. That's pretty cool. So I Can tell you like What can I tell you that the easy way the hard way? Will wrap the show up with well, let's just do it personal. Let's just go first The best way to do it is to go personal, right? 2020 comes along I'm trapped in the house with the family. The family's trapped in the house with me, if you can imagine.
Starting point is 00:28:50 And I have to figure out how to get into a different realm because I still got to work. We still got to make this all work. My wife's got to work from home now. Everybody's got to do what we got to do. We're doing school for my oldest in the house. My youngest is in preschool. For some reason, the preschool never never closed which was a huge blessing Definitely for my young that's because he got to get out and hang with people
Starting point is 00:29:12 But the whole life style changes, right you go from being like this Where I'm sitting here like contending with my new little pitbull puppy who wants to fight and bark all day and night But outside of that it's you know, there's a lot of good happening, a lot of good necessary silence and quiet while you're trying to focus, right? And all that changes. In my head, it became very apparent, like, you need a plan, dude. At the very least, you need a plan. You may need to convey that to your family because you might all need to get on some parent like you need a plan dude you at the very least you need a plan you may
Starting point is 00:29:45 need to convey that to your family because you might all need to get on some kind of meditation program in order to not kill one another because you're gonna be around each other all you know and my wife is a she is a go-getter you know what I mean like the worst thing you can do to her is be like hey honey let's hang out indoors all day you know know what I mean? And do nothing of value or importance. Like it's, that's a rough ride for her. Um, and that was what the outlook was for months when this really all kicked off, remember?
Starting point is 00:30:15 So we had to have a plan of action. You know, I had some experience with meditation. I started doing it more, more often. Uh, but really truly and a lot of people don't have the capacity for this throughout their workday because of the nature of their job and then maybe the nature of their life, but you have to find time in your day to do things slower and I like to do things fast. I'm a fast person. You know what I mean? I don't really like moving slowly. But you have to find time
Starting point is 00:30:50 in your life to do things slowly. I'd say if you are like wall-to-wall busy, like the idea of adding anything is silly. First of all, if the idea of adding anything is silly, don't even watch. There's no point in watching. You know what I mean? Like if you wake up and it's like I got to get to work early. I got to stay at work late. I got family responsibilities, then I get home and there are things that I have to do at home and then it's bedtime and I have no time to change anything about my life. And if you're in like mentally you're gonna do that for the rest of your life. Unless you plan on like going real hard and prepping and all that kind of stuff on the weekends
Starting point is 00:31:27 I don't know. I don't think you're gonna get a lot out of PBN Maybe you do I don't know maybe I help you get through your day Maybe the other hosts help you get through your day and that's good enough, too but you know, it's gonna be real hard if you build a life like that to Nurture a garden, you know what I mean? Or really learn how to shoot a weapon, you know what I mean? Really manage a weapon. Great show last night, by the way. Mike Siegelander was awesome. Competitive shooter, firearms instructor. Go back and listen to that show. That was a great one.
Starting point is 00:31:59 But if you got no time, take a walk at night alone. See, alone is important because then you have your own pace. Even if you got a dog that's cool and you can really walk with, and they're really cool, well-behaved, that can work. I think that there is, I don't know, I think that there is even just having another creature or person with you, I think there's something in that that makes you modify because you're like what do they want you know what I mean or oh no this is what they want right like I'm a people pleaser so I'm always like what do
Starting point is 00:32:36 they want right but other people who are more like I guess like aggressive or angry or something like that they can be like great now. What do I have to like what? What are we gonna fight about type of thing? But that walk by yourself man That walk by yourself gives you the ability to walk and more importantly than even walking is walking at the pace that you need To walk at stopping and looking at things looking at the world around you and appreciating the world around you guys guys Shit that happens in your life that you don't see you know what I mean I was walking out this
Starting point is 00:33:16 This is so annoying that I'm gonna say this out loud. Okay, cuz it's just just the whole thing is annoying say this out loud, okay? Because it's just the whole thing is annoying. Like I probably shouldn't even say it, but I have to say it because it's a perfect example, alright? And this stuff started happening to me after 2020. Didn't happen to me. Well, that's not true. This stuff's kind of always happened to me. I just see it more and more, but it's so annoying. It's so pretentious. I apologize in advance. I'm walking out the house after a long Sunday and taking trash out, right? And I walk outside and I'm inside and we've done a bunch of inside things, but we've done some outside things too. But you know what? It's just one of those busy Sundays. And I walk outside and the sun's
Starting point is 00:34:03 setting yonder. I can't see it. I live in too many trees to really see it unless I get off of my own property. Sun setting, but what's happening is the light is shining through all the tree leaves and it's hitting my shed, right? And it's just, you can see like the rays and the patterns of the Sun on the shed and it's beautiful Sheds just stupid ugly plastic beige shit and I see it and I'm like You know what? I mean? It's like one of those things where it's like, okay This is a stop and admire moment and you know, what happens is you see that
Starting point is 00:34:40 You stop and admire it because you start to train yourself to stop and admire these things and then all of the sudden Everything else catches up then Everything else catches up too. So then then you're like, oh, you know what happened today Do you know how special today was do you know how incredible? What happened with you and your wife was what happened with you and your son what your son? I mean my son had an insane football game Sunday. He had three touchdown receptions and three interceptions on defense. Crazy, absolutely insane day. But the sun caught me and stopped me and slowed it all down, right, and here's the pretentious terrible part and I apologize if that's not pretentious enough.
Starting point is 00:35:24 I sat down and I think I wrote a ten stanza poem for my new book right after that. Right? Right? All about that one concept which is a big-ass poem man. You know what I mean? It's a big one. But I just I grabbed onto that inspiration and everybody was tired so nobody was like running around like looking for dad or to help me with this dad Whatever and I just sat down and I grabbed a hold of that and and that level of inspiration It sat down and all that just flowed right out of me man, and it was great You know, I was just it was one of those moments like all of that culminated in about an hour of pleasure
Starting point is 00:36:02 Just from seeing the sunlight on the side of a stupid Bay Shed because I was able to see it you know what I mean how much stuff we walk by and don't see that's beautiful right now it's spring right now my whole neighborhood is like filled with azalea bushes everywhere it's beautiful it looks like an Easter basket in real life like in like a neighborhood Easter basket seriously in my neighborhood. We walk by this stuff this beauty all the time we miss it because compulsive behavior pushes you into a little like you're in like a burka you know what I mean and
Starting point is 00:36:35 you have this much room to see and it's like oh what's the problem what's the trouble what's the thing I have to deal with you know what I mean? Slow it down, PVM family. See the world for what it is. When you're inspired, do everything in your, every possible thing you can do to really take advantage of that inspiration in that moment, whatever it takes. You know what I mean? Grab the phone, record your thoughts, write something write something draw something say call somebody you love Inspiration has a shelf life man. I learned that from Raj Patel, maybe I don't know. I forget the guy's name. I'm sorry But it's it's so true man
Starting point is 00:37:19 Like when you're inspired you got to take advantage of it. It's it's to stop the compulsive behavior. Like, oh, and really hone in on it. Because there will come a time when there's no more time, right? And all those things, you'll sit there, and I'm sure you'll think a little bit about all those beautiful flowers you walked by and never saw. And that's, you know, literal and metaphorical. All those beautiful fields of flowers that you spent your life running by to be on time and to be there and to be ready and to be this and to be that, and not to miss out on this thing or that thing. And you know, we're all on the clock, folks.
