 I don't think you can ship testicles in the mail. What's up guys? We're about to come back to Adam the seaver See coming have you ever seen it? Have you ever seen the uh show? Uh, what's it called between two ferns? Oh, yeah, I love that and he does that's what he does the best That's what we're doing here. Yeah I Just look at the person it'll be like all right, you're against women's rights. I get it So good. Hey, welcome That's the best that's what I want to do. I know flamingos can't be pets dude. Welcome back. How are we doing? We had a really we had an interesting topic the other Day that we were going to really dive into how long ago because I remember having a topic, but I got to Paint the scene so I could recall it at least but we were we were in his own. Oh, was it the retrograde? Oh, yeah But we could talk about we're out of it. We're out of it Look at the difference about the retrograde. We could talk about it. Yeah All right, well, maybe like you said maybe that we're out of it and everything that you and I had to Well, I'll just tell a few things. I'll just yeah, you go first So the retrograde was what is it anyway? By the way, I think I looked it up and I tried to understand that it's like Mars is go looks like it's going backwards and it's not actually going backwards. Right. Is that true? I can't explain it. Oh, I can tell you what I experienced Well, there's something with the I looked it up and it seemed I did a quick google and it was like It looks like it's going backwards because all the other planets You know when you're in a car and the car next to you starts going forwards. You feel like you're going backwards I think it's like that effect with the planets Yeah, so every other planet is fixed and mars isn't so it looks like it's going backwards Well, I could tell you what it does to me. Go ahead Emotionally physically mentally and spiritually it fucks me Up like I think everybody yeah Look as much as the people would love to pretend like the moon doesn't affect the waves and that we know it's a direct correlation That's exactly how mercury and retrograde affects me Each and every time Yeah, and I think it's just If you can think everybody know I feel like most people like the placebo effect everybody believes it People know that the moon affects the waves, right? I think people believe that right generally Yeah, well, here's the thing though with the mercury and retrograde, right? So You and I are big believers first off in God and that we can You know look we can baptize anything, right? Like we're not going to let any hocus pocus You know Lucky rabbit foot walking under a ladder nonsense happened to us but For me and you tell me your experience I experience it first and then I'm like oh is mercury and retrograde You know, I mean I'm not like sitting there counting the days like worried about it. I don't live my life like that, but too many odd coincidences happen Yeah, then I'm like something's going on here and I'm out of sync Definitely and the cool part is that with the people I'm in sync with usually We feel that at the same time like I would give you a call be like what the what's going on or I'll be like I'm feeling crazy. Yeah, you're feeling the same thing Yeah, well, okay, so example. I remember I was going through okay I went through The thing with my apartment, right and all the furniture being A mess we could do through the tangible things that are and then you told me I had a bunch of shit My air condition started leaking your car. Nobody was no one would show up for days They couldn't think the guy the guy was missing the maintenance guy. I called I have his personal number He would he's on vacation. Yeah, and then my car battery died Yeah, then my picture frame fell off the wall. I saw that and then there was one other thing that was insane I don't know. Yeah, but Those the same days like within three days. It was just like back to back to back and every time it would happen Oh, I was in traffic the lights stopped working wasn't raining. Nothing. I was with Justin The lights stopped working like midday like in the traffic jam. It was crazy And I was ever I just kept saying thank you retro gray. Just like what's going it was crazy Even for me too, like I um You know, it's a new world where everything is going to be texted to you and everything everything's on My dear friends who are dentists. I got like three confirmations on my dentist appointment I get there early. I want to see them say hi. They're not there And they and they said I called you the night before and canceled and I showed them There's no phone call. All I got is retrograde. Look. Yeah It's That's crazy when we make it through it when you make it through it. Yeah, you got out of it before I did Yeah, it was almost like bringing it we went together sort of a little bit. You were you were carrying But you know, it was cool. This was our our like official exit You came when we hung out we got the sickest steak meal, right? That was the best. We had the best time It felt like a celebration. Oh, yeah, go ahead and then and then we drove but we were going to hang out Maybe watch a movie And then we drove but I couldn't figure it out. Maybe you'll go home whatever and then We drove by a movie theater During cope and I was like, maybe we'll see a movie. Yeah That was the best because it was like we were thinking about maybe we're coming out of the thing And we're like, maybe we'll see a movie and then we drove by we're like, is it even open? And then we go remember what was showing. Oh, it's good Ferris Bueller's day off bad boys, too Yeah, it was crazy and we're just like, what's going on? What year is this? That was a great one. It was what year is this? It was empty. What's happened? It was scary. Almost nobody's there. Nobody's at the ticket counter. There's like no It was weird, but it was great I gotta tell you this whole COVID thing really messes with my head. Yeah, what way? so I love Making people feel like I respect them and I honor them and and I never want to make people feel awkward but the idea that The second we walk into a restaurant with no with a mask on And the second we all sit in a restaurant. We take our masks off and now we're fine But then when we leave we all put our masks on Makes me feel like I'm an idiot I know And I'm playing some idiot game with people and I don't like that feeling. Yeah Yeah, it's it's tough. It's tough to remember to even put it on because it's like you're You don't like you lose its meaning because you sit down the e and then you're like, oh, I got to put it on a walk I don't get that And yet I respect you so much that I realized that if I don't put it on I look like the asshole. Yeah But am I the asshole? I was just sitting two feet away from you You were fine with it because I'm sitting down And it weren't an appetizer. It's like the yeah the beef carpaccio eliminates. I don't understand I think what was funny is like the moon and the waves Yeah, people understand that but they don't think it affects them It's like there's something in the air or energy of the the moon pulling you and then with the masks Is like does anybody not know anything about you ever seen sneak as someone's sneeze and it goes everywhere It's like if you sit down, it's like they don't nobody knows how particles just go everywhere. It goes everywhere. There's not a six foot Radius I don't get it if you enter a building you're entering everything in the building I don't get it and yet I know people that have died of cove right So it's it's not as if I don't think it's serious right or that I have no empathy It's just that I feel like we've added some rules to it that make Zero sense. I feel I feel bad for the whoever the rule makers are because like what are you supposed to do You got like we're complaining. We can't go to restaurants. You're like, all right Put the mask on while you walk sit down take it off and eat We're like, okay, we'll do that and we're and then now we're complaining about why are we even doing that? They're letting us eat. I don't know. I know what are we supposed to do? What are you gonna do? I'm trying to think of the last retrograde failure. I had I had a lot of things Internet went down. Oh, that hasn't happened in a year Internet went down. That's hard Um, that's hard. That's how connected. Oh, you know what the retrograde did do I'm passing the mic not really because we're both holding mics Probably not the greatest expression to say right now go ahead but You had a really deep thought about Basically, let's let's put it under the umbrella of what are we doing right? Why are we all posting and and that you really have stopped scrolling? And I realized that I've stopped too and I used to have this serious emotional um attachment to instagram that I don't have anymore right and You were saying how the new world The this world will be more like the old world where we're not living in phones Yeah, I think because what I loved about it is what's changing about it Which was like the connection because everybody when social media came out There was so much backlash about not when it came out, but there was always backlash of like it's on your phone It's taking you out of your life But there was not enough said about the good of like how much it connects you with the whole world and now people are App to that or whatever that word is but it connects you with so many people you would have never met But now Everyone's been on it for so long There's more users than ever Everyone's got thousands of followers. Yeah before it was like I'd be crazy if I had 100 likes I remember we were talking about I was like I remember the day I hit 100 likes on a post It was insane now now it's like thousands and it's like If all my friends have thousands and they're going on social media to connect Who are they connecting with thousands of people? You can't have the same Strength of a connection. I agree on that. It's kind of like I feel the same way And this is not a a point of jealousy. I mean anybody could just pay to do it Yeah, uh, and and I'm sure if I entered it you and I could both get it within a month But um, it's like the whole verified thing. I've seen so many people that are verified That's like why are you there right? It's strange. They got the blue dot Supposed to this blue dot this on houses now they have blue check houses You can get a blue check on your house. I don't know what it means. I think an influencer lives there or something It's ridiculous. But do you know what I mean by that? And then there's a business losing its meaning that's kind of it's saturated That's how I feel and what I was saying about the losing the connection is like I follow people like right I meet you I follow you then I meet friends We know follow them I then I find the rock the rock has amazing stuff He mentions somebody in his pocket. I follow them. I've been following more and more people because I like their energy for years So now I'm following a thousand people and then when I go to scroll It's a lot of people. How am I gonna keep up with a thousand people? I can't even keep up with the people I want to watch now point is People I want to connect with I have to find through a different way because I'm not going to connect with you Through instagram. I'll give you a call. Yeah, I really want to connect with the rock I'm not going to scroll my instagram. I'll go to his page or I'll go to his YouTube, you know what I'm saying? I don't know if he has one But the point is the people you want to connect with you're going to go find them You can't just scroll and get connected anymore. I agree. Yeah, you're not going to see the good stuff you want Here's the other thing and it's not like I feel like we're better than social media because it's a big part of our career Right and I'm I feel blessed Right to have our social media audience and continue to want to grow it right. I really believe in it Having said that you think the rock scrolls Instagram No, yeah, you can't What is he what's he going to scroll for? He's going to go on. He's going to if you think kevin hark scrolls. You think mark wallberg Goes, you know, or is he just post right? Like i'm sharing my life with you, but do you think they really give a shit? No And that's Michael jordan Michael jordan doesn't have goes like, you know what? Yeah, he doesn't even have one. He's never even fucking Why would I use that thing? Yeah Jay Z doesn't have an instagram Same birthday You have the same birthday as jay z mic drop That's that wait, so uh, I was gonna say and the thing what you were saying is the title I still love it. Maybe the title of this episode. I have the same birthday as jay z They start the episode when man goes in shit in the dinner But I was gonna say is I'm not even down on it either I love posting because I love the connection it gives I just think something new is going to emerge whether it's a live platform There's a lot of live platforms, but that's what I like about clubhouse Is because it's conversations everybody loves this clubhouse. I don't know why it's bothering me so much I don't love it yet But I do think like this conversation could be live because we're doing it raw As we're doing it. So if we had an audience, it's almost like a free Live audience or like an accessible audience. Let me play devil's advocate if you don't mind me saying You know what clubhouse has done for me? Nothing Added more shit. Yeah, okay It's not gonna sound nice. Okay, if anything it pushes me away a little bit because All right, you and I you're invited on stage, right and and now you're a speaker and it's a wonderful feeling And then you're hearing these other speakers and I'm like a Why am I listening to you? You know, but what happened is is that I'm trusting other people to put these people on stage with me And I'm not getting the chance. Let's say through instagram or facebook to vet them Right, I understand. Why am I listening to their deepest? You know into the thoughts and and let's and have they reached to our potential, right? So let's not that we're better than them But what if you're on with somebody? That steve can't dunk, right? And it's but but teaching you're respecting. Yes, but you're respecting whoever put them on the plat You're respecting the person that invited them on stage with you. Yeah So you're listening to them, but meanwhile this person can't dunk, right? I think yeah, I I agree with that as one word like users But I also see it the way it could go is like if you have somebody you like just like I was saying with the rock If I follow him on clubhouse and I see he's going alive talking about spirituality or something I would love to Chime in and listen not chime absolutely, right? But I think that's where we can be our thing is what I'm saying is like that's where I think it's a great thing Is like if you say, you know, you know you go live on instagram I love when people go live you go live, you know, I'd love to listen to what you say And I think that's how I feel I think that's the beauty of clubhouses because live on instagram You're not this is this is the the key Live on instagram if you're live no matter how much I love you it optimizes my phone I can't do shit when I'm on live with you, right? I'm listening to you But like if I get a phone call done if I get a text I can't even like text Yeah, but on clubhouse, it's just audio So if I hear you talking about I can play it and I could let it play I could play it in my headphones I could let my phone do other things. It's not like Sucking my phone, you know my phone I could listen to you and Jump into your conversation not even talking but just listen to it and there's something powerful about that There is and yet and this could be an age thing, right? I don't know how many people know like I'm 44 45 and you're 28 But like I actually like the idea if like I'm watching you on instagram live A I am focused on you and only you and I get to watch your facial expressions and how you feel about what you're discussing While, you know, I'm the kind of guy where if I'm on clubhouse, right? And I'm looking at like a text or or going on amazon I'm not paying attention to a word agreed So I think that's where it's gonna go and I think that's where instagram because they steal everything will probably steal the feature Is that the clubhouse is just audio now, but if they do the same thing is amazon of social media Hmm, they just yank everything, but that's not even the right thing to say because facebook owns instagram Yeah, facebook still everything is the amazon of social media of social media. Yeah, they just yank everything It's gonna be them two at the top Yeah, it's all about facebook and amazon facebook's first sucker bar who you got Oh, that's so hard and they're they're fighting uh Just boxing no kicking no kicking just straight fists with gloves and what's six ounces What's his name? Is that in there the tesla guy? Elon he's flying somewhere. He's can't he's busy He's got a bald head. Remember. Yeah, he's got the ball. He could slip facebook owns instagram amazon owns everything amazon Put him in a box. You think I'll put him in a box amazon. He's a better boxer Get it. It's a better boxer because he's in a box double on tondra double And we're back folks. Welcome But this is like a weird conversation this is podcasting Oh, but wait, so now clubhouse, right? What I was gonna say is that if they add the video component Imagine you can go in and you could click to watch the video if you want you have the option Because instagram right now doesn't give you the option It sucks. It locks you in clubhouse doesn't give you the option, but it gives you the option auditorily Audibly audibly audibly Is that the right but if they give you the video option where say mike diamond speaking You go listen to him, but if you want to see what he's doing you click you just click his little button Yeah, same and but you see this video doing it, right? So you can if you want and I think that they're going to implement that because why not add video? Yeah So yeah, you know, sometimes I hear myself speak and I think I'm like getting older and cranky Even though I love I love all this stuff I do I love social media and I I think clubhouse is great, but there's there's some things that I just get a little like Well, that's I think is a good thing because that perspective shows Um, how the apps are being used. Yeah by people who Should be on the apps. You know what I mean like as a great speaker So if you're feeling that way You're gonna think about how your audience is hearing you So if you're if you're thinking that you're like, I'm not going to put my audience there because I want them to be able to See me Yeah, so that's a good way for you to market yourself You know because if you if you want them to see you because you like seeing them That's how I did photography It's like it's like you learn an art you learn the podcasting is I love Joe Rogan so much it made it inspired me To do it so I provide the same thing. That's why I like the high quality That's wonderful So for you if you if you like connecting with their faces then make then you shouldn't do clubhouse yet I or maybe I've gone on a few and then I started bowing out and here's the other thing and this is Again, I don't I don't know if this is pride or if this is just how it is or just for me, but like when I'm hearing Guys that are anywhere between 20 and and 28 let's say Say that they're visionaries and they're doing this and they're doing that and then I realize they haven't gone through Half the experiences I've gone through half of the pain I've gone through and half the success I have Then I start going like what the hell am I doing? What are you doing? Yeah, and then I and that's why when I when they pass the mic to me I like saying how flawed I am. Yeah Do you know what I mean? Like these kids are saying how amazing they are. Hold on. Let me tell you where I fucked up Yeah, oh that goes to the other point. You know what I mean? Like why? Like that's some ego you have right That reminds me of the other part of the social media that I thought was people were getting away from We got so caught up in making Things look good or growing your account. We forgot to actually do things And that's I think like on clubhouse a lot of people are trying to get on clubhouse and grow Instead of using all the energy to be a speaker or like accomplish things that's worthy of talking about. Yeah Yeah, what the fuck and we can make you know, let we can make this one big loop Loop it. Are you ready? Loop it. And that's that and that's where I'm I'm pretty excited Um for the end of COVID because I do believe All of us now have such are going to have such an appreciation for human contact Like I can't wait to go to live live concerts. I can't wait to watch you speak live on a stage Likewise, you know, I I can't wait to be With physical people and enjoy life the way we originally did Yes, and then there was that time this beautiful time period where there was no COVID And social media was still taking over. I feel like This is a reboot. Yeah, definitely like social media has its place. I'm a huge fan of it It's how I built my career But this is a reboot. Yeah of appreciating life. And you know what I just thought of another loop Retrograde is a mini reboot It is a mini because you have no doubt about it. You have to fight through this fucking turmoil for a little bit And that's what we were talking about during it. We're like, let's just we're like holding on It just felt like you're holding on for a dear life But if you stay present and don't shut it down talking about like sobriety type things It's if you don't suppress it and you feel all the retrograde You come out of it stronger But some people want to just like lay down and let it flow over them. But if you find throwing it Yeah Which we did we did and now look we're fucking higher than ever, right? It's true. And that's a huge thing and you have a great and you have a great appreciation for being out of this. Yeah Right 100% Yeah, you have a more appreciation. You're you feel like you accomplish something instead of just like rolling over Yeah, it's like getting through a really hard workout. Yeah, but it's like a six-week workout. Yeah, how long are they? Fucking It took a while, dude. This one. Yeah, this was the longest one I've ever experienced. It was hard It was hard I'm trying to do something else that happened Oh, I don't know. There's this car so many car things batteries lights my lights went out something with my lights Like I had to get new bulbs like you were doing really good though. It's this is interesting I was just going yes. Yeah, but you were also doing really well in in relationships during it So that's kind of cool. So you started expanding in your you know extracurricular extracurriculars you got That's the thing the female opportunities present themselves. Yeah in all areas like mercury and retrograde was actually really good for your Everything. Well, yeah, it's always good for that But you know, it was good with the women Women are good. Yeah What are they doing? What are we doing? That's how we started What are we doing? So recap it. We got mercury. We got mercury social media done Masks and restaurants masks in the restaurants pick a side pick a team and what are we looking forward to What are you inspired by today? We have a we have a lot to look forward to You and I yeah, well, we're gonna do more steven adam stuff. Yeah um I'm looking forward to the hero 30 challenge Uh, I'm looking forward to the dung project your thing. I think that's really exciting Uh, we both have some phenomenal clients. We're working with I think travel's gonna open up again soon. Hmm. I'd love for you and I to go to san antonio and spend some time with dr Rob Maybe even go to la like diamond Uh There's a lot on the horizon. Yeah That's the thing with these podcasts too is that in person. It's so different It's so hard to have a zoom call You know, yeah, it's so it's so much easier That happened to me in my recovery meetings, too By the way, so many like people are starting to go back to what we call meetings. Yeah um It just so happens that the men that I love respect in the mire Since they're older Are staying on zoom, but I do miss human interaction It's crazy It's crazy. Oh and the last thing people should do start doing more That's that's a theme of all of us if you do more for yourself instead of trying to make it look like you're doing stuff That's a really good point doing it Well, that's that was really the Ammunition of your talk. Yeah of like that. You don't really scroll. Yeah that you're I'm if you're doing shit like the rock and kevin hard They're doing too many things Well, how not that they don't have time to scroll and relax, but like they don't need to Make their stuff look so good because they just they're like, oh, I just killed a movie. Yeah post about that That's insane or it's like they just gave an insane talk. Look at it If you go do those things, but there's so much energy behind that You know what else I had to learn social media Which is hard for me by the way because of the way i'm wired Is that since people are scrolling less living more And and doing everything which is probably a very healthy thing I was so used to I was getting a lot of attention on social media So I would share everyone that I loved and respected stuff yours loases Gala double check of the camera. Yeah Keep going. I would share everyone's stuff that I loved Because I didn't want to be an attention whore But now what i'm realizing is that people aren't even going to stories anymore Like if anything just put your own stuff up there because People are not coming to my stories to see the people that I love right And that's a weird feeling. It's hard. Yeah, it's definitely hard. I try to Always put like a lot of value. Yeah, that's all they can't that's all they want people just want you and your value Yeah, I was gonna say like a lot of value then like an occasional share Yeah, but and the other thing is this this is a really good tip for the social medias out there that I think I've Told you already, but it's like when you share somebody else's or if I if you go to tag me, right Yeah, make it valuable for my story So for example, if you write if you tag me It's always valuable for me when we do it. Just you're just naturally at that So my point is is like say you I we talked about nutrition and then you you do a nutrition thing And you tag me when I repost that that's good for my audience to see That I didn't have the point you see what I'm saying Yeah, so if I tag you in something that makes you look good Then when you repost it it's good for your audience You're gonna want to repost it one because it makes you look good But two it keeps the train going of value to your audience That is something that I should be more aware about if I post me And me doing something funny that has nothing to do with what you're posting about And then I expect you to repost that that's so selfish. It doesn't make sense. It's gonna interrupt your pattern It's a double entendre If I post nothing of nothing If I if I make something that you like because then you're gonna want to double entendre of wasting time Exactly No, this is a good one double entendre of value Because it's gonna add to your stories and then you're gonna want to repost it So i'm gonna get my goal, which is I want you to repost it. What is it double entendre again? Double entendre double meaning. Yeah Double meaning double meaning Something there. There's something about that double entendre Are there triple entendres? Only jz does it really That makes sense. He said it in one of his songs I think big shan might have said it in a recent one too Are you born on his birthday jz? Yeah That makes that day a triple entendre because two doubles came out Wow Right, there's the day And you're both born on that day. Yeah, that's three day. That's three things in one day That's what also makes me believe in astrology to a point because sure The everything's if this is the other thing everything's a fabric. There's no space That's the thing with covet everything's connected on a atom level Not not you but like the air, right? It's not empty It has molecules. I get it and so it's touching us both of us, right? So How could we not be connected to we're connected to everything? We're all connect So we all have covet we all we all have it Ha That's why i'm fearless because they're going to take us off the air These guys said everyone is covet. That's what it is. I just look you want me to google it It says right now 100 of the us 100. It says I just googled it 100 of us as code look at this minute It says united states of america, right? Oh boy 100 dude as of today march 7th even the republicans Let me double chat. Yeah, you very want to double check that Yep, wow Wow, doesn't have it fish It says no fish have no, what about jz? He's got that's a triple entendre How should we wrap it up and should we end to have a good week? Um, yeah, everybody. Have a good week. This is my our first podcast first podcast of many of many but many What is it? We've had adam and steve. So this is just another variation. Those are energy. We'll just This is just another expression of this is another expression of our energy. That's one thing i'm on right now Let's end with our little our moods of the day energies of the mind is Uh I'm being myself. Yeah, and all the things I do are just I'm always trying to express it in different ways So don't have to you don't have to do one thing because the one thing let it be open to everything you do And just be your center. Well, i'm just i'm very appreciative that you came over today And i'm appreciative of where everything is and so i'm i'm in a grateful mode I'm i'm in a lot of gratitude likewise. Yeah, that's that's just how I feel Higher reality higher reality peace
