It's Christmas time, folks. But what about the what's up, everyone? It's America Plus. I'm your host, Cole McCormick. It's another week, another episode. What's going on, everybody? You made it to the week, everybody. Welcome. It's Sunday, November 26, 23. It is 732 in the PM, everybody. I'm coming to you late night podcast, everybody. It's late night, America Plus. So we're going to slow it down here a little bit, everybody. Coming to you live from the guest bedroom slash mother's office of my childhood home. We're chilling here.
I did a quick two day trip for Thanksgiving. Love seeing my family. This week was busy for me, man. This week was really busy. I had just a lot of hours at work, so that's good for me. Got some extra hours and I don't want the power to fall out, dude. I mean, I forgot a cord. So traveling here with my podcast gear. This is the first trip. This is my first trip that I have ever forgotten a cord. I forgot a USB-C cord. And luckily, Apple just switched to USB-C. So like the podcast almost did not. It was almost an audio. It was almost on a mobile recording.
But luckily, it wasn't. So I'm just like fiddling around here. But this week has been fun. I've been planning on doing a traveling podcast. It was Thanksgiving this week, man. I have a lot of things to say about what I went through on Thanksgiving Day. I worked at a restaurant for the first time. I got to get a restaurant kitchen experience on Thanksgiving. And the reason I'm bringing this up is because I have this weird little... I'm not sure if you call it like an idiosyncretie or if I'm just weird or like if I'm on the autistic spectrum. I think every job I have is giving me a skill that I need.
I don't know what skills are being developed. I like to assume the kind of skills that might be like important for me. I'm sorry about that alarm. That's some random alarm that will be turning off here in under 30 seconds. We're going to be OK, guys. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because I... I got certain skills from the movie theater. I got certain skills from the pizza place. I got certain skills from the weed shop. And a lot of these are like customer service. A lot of these are just like managing time on my own. A lot of these jobs also offered me...
I can't believe this fucking alarm is going off again. I thought it went off earlier and I thought I was good. And then I hit record and now it's here. So I thought I was going to be cooking steaks when I first started at Roost Chris. But they took me to the prep area and now I'm just some person who chops potatoes for living. Which is totally cool. Totally fine. Just bear with it, guys. Bear with it. We're going to be OK. We're going to get through it. I promise you it will end right now. Ladies and gentlemen, God bless us all. We're three minutes in.
We served about 900 people on Thanksgiving Day and I chopped 130 pounds of potatoes. I don't know what the translation is in world numbers, but in American numbers, 130 pounds. And that was the most amount of potatoes I've ever cut in my life. Didn't have to peel them, thank God. But I did have to cut them. Just chop, chop, chop it away, dude. Like the show Bear. Also, just a quick little funny thing that I've had describing my job to other people. I somehow stumbled in a kitchen job when one of the biggest shows ever is a kitchen chef show. The Bear on Hulu.
Have you heard of this? So sometimes I'm just talking to people in LA and they're like, so what do you do? I'm like, oh, I work in a kitchen. I'm at Roost Chris. And this is the legit reaction. Oh, no way. Like the Bear, dude. Like you're cooking, dude. That's so cool, dude. Like they were literally freaking out that I'm cooking food. Like, yeah, I make a cheese sauce for living, man. I get $18 if I cook it well. It's nice. And it's just funny, man. I think I somehow have always had jobs that people have admired from a cultural perspective. OK, like I delivered pizzas.
Like how many of you can willingly say that you've had a bad experience with the pizza guy? OK, like I feel like that's a small list. I feel like that's a small list of mishaps. Usually the pizza guy is your guy. Right? And then I also got to experience, what else was I going to say? I was going to say, oh, OK. I was talking about like experiences, like holidays. I got to experience learning how to manage a crowd and manage lines during Star Wars The Force Awakens when I was working at a movie theater. I got to have this like insane crowd, like rush of people coming to see Star Wars after, you know, 30 plus years. And that was like some of the most hype shit I've ever been a part of.
And my movie theater literally ran out of popcorn. And we had to tell people, like, hey, you got to wait like 20 minutes for your popcorn. And they're like, my movie starts in 10. And we're like, oh. So you have these experiences. And I have this experience at Roost Chris and I'm just I guess I'm serving. Technically, I'm serving, but I'm really just like chopping. I'm serving these people and the entire day and the entire week, I truly felt grateful. And that's an interesting thing, because a couple of years ago when I was working at the weed shop, when I was working at the weed shop, I wasn't able to come home for Christmas.
And that just that really that was the only time and hopefully the one and only time that I wasn't able to come home for Christmas Day. I was able to visit after, but, you know, I mean, like in my head, like there's something about there's something special about the day, you know. And I went through that a couple of years ago, crying. I was really crying on my couch. I was crying next to my girlfriend and like missing my family on Christmas. You know, it was it was it was Christmas night and I just wasn't home, you know. And now we're in this year.
We're in this experience. We're working at Roost Chris and we're doing Thanksgiving. And for some reason, I'm grateful on Thanksgiving. Why am I grateful? You know, and there's there's been all this stuff going on in my life. And, you know, my dad has cancer and my family's just going through it. He's just going through a transition. I'm going through a transition. We're all growing. We're all evolving. Everything around us and in us is evolving all the time. And this just happens to be a period where like more of it is happening. And I was worried over the summer getting closer to the holidays that I wouldn't be able to come home.
And as it got closer, I started to just like assume and just like expect that I was going to be working on Thanksgiving. And I was trying to just like psych myself up. I was trying to just like be OK with it. And then just like talking to my dad casually, you know, he's he tells me straight up. It's not about the day, son. It's just about you being here. And like that's real shit, dude. So a part of this week is just me like listening to my dad, I guess. Listening to just allowing his wisdom to calm me down. Just not being stressed, you know, to look at the gratefulness of of being able to be with my family.
And today was legit. I went to a Cardinals game, dude. I went to a football game, American football game. So the Arizona Cardinals, I even got this hat, got this thirty five dollar hat. It was the cheapest hat they had. I think it looks cool. I think it looks dope. It's like a retro version. It's like a retro design. They lost, by the way, the Cardinals freaking suck. Cardinals suck, dog. Like don't even watch anything. Don't even look at highlights. I'm wearing this Larry Fitzgerald jersey because it's literally like one of five people who have ever been good on the Cardinals.
So it's just a whole lifetime of crying about losing, watching this team. But I got to hang out and do a tailgate today. And that's really where the gratefulness comes from because, you know, it's one of those things where like if I was able to come on the day of Thanksgiving, maybe I would only be able to come for like 24 hours, you know, but in this situation, you know, I'm able to be here for the weekend and I have tomorrow off and, you know, just in these moments, you never know how long someone's going to be in your life and you never know who's going through what. And you just want to like, I want to be with my family as much as I can.
And I don't know how to do that right now. And so I'm taking, I take these holidays really seriously so that I can spend time with them and I can spend a lot of time with my nephew, Wyatt. Did some recordings with him. Of course, he loves doing the podcast with me. He absolutely loves it. So I guess this week is really just like a family week. It's really just perspective week on, on, on... I am patting myself on the back this week of being grateful and being happy because on Thanksgiving Day, I'm working and I was happy the entire day. I was happy.
I was happy to be there. Which is strange for a lot of people. You know, you never really like going into work. No one likes going into work, but there was just really good vibes this past week, man. There was just really good vibes and I felt like I got closer with some people there and I got closer with some people that I haven't known before, you know. Just people, just coworkers that I, I see passing by. I might've said hi to them, but then that never really spoke to them. You know, I'm finally talking to these people, you know, they're friends. Like they're coming up to me.
I'm coming up to them. Like there's finally interactions happening. It's been like six months. You know, I can tend to be, I tend to be like a little quiet sometimes in this job. I haven't, I've never, I've never usually been quiet, but this is something new for me. You know, just going through different behaviors, just trying to figure out who my friends are, you know. And Thanksgiving was great. I had a little dinner with Shannon and it was beautiful. It was a great holiday. I had a really enjoyable time. I had a really great Thanksgiving.
And if you celebrated it, you know, happy Thanksgiving. If you don't, it's okay. I don't care. Who does, who does celebrate Thanksgiving? Is this just a weird American thing? Like, do I need to stop doing this? Do we need to stop eating as a culture? Had some leftovers. I don't like Thanksgiving food. That's, that's something that I know for a fact. That's if I had a choice of food, I'm choosing steak every time. I'm not choosing turkey or mashed potatoes. Or sweet potatoes. Like that's too much sugar, dude. My mom puts too much sugar in the sweet potatoes.
I'll tell you that, dude. I have, I had one scoop of it and I'm literally like all about to throw up of how sweet it was, bro. Like some people go really crazy. Some people go crazy with the sugar, dude. Um, and with that, that leads me into what I'm focusing on. Like I was able to focus on my emotions this week really well. I was able to focus in my intention on what I needed to do and I could change my thoughts. And I just continue this vibe of feeling good as we get closer and closer to the release of my short film, Magic Mushroom Fun Time, the first value for value cinema experience.
That's what I'm trying to build up here. That's what I'm, that's what I'm trying to thrive with within, dude. So I'm trying to build to, so I'm trying to, be intentional about the work that I do not like. I'm being intentional with the thoughts in my head, man. Like this is serious stuff, man. And I'm in a good space. I, I feel like my own mental health is getting healthier. And maybe for a while, maybe it just wasn't. It's ebbs and flows all the time, right? Sometimes you, sometimes you have perspective on how you used to be, and other times you don't have perspective on how you used to feel.
And I can just say in the last six months, dude, like I went through, I've been going through an insane roller coaster, like really insane. Just the last year, there's really insane roller coaster. And I'm confident that where I'm at, like I need to be where I'm at until something good happens. And that does not, that doesn't mean that I'm not going to be where I'm at. That's not me being lazy. Last week I said I was lazy for going to AI, even though that might be somewhat true. You know, I'm also still working hard on making those images look well. But I'm not lazy in, in making sure that I, or I don't want to be lazy in making sure that I feel well or making sure that I, I have enough time to, I don't know, myself, I have enough time for exercise.
I have enough time for, you know, whatever is necessary for me. The day after Thanksgiving, Friday morning, I had to go back into the kitchen around like 9 30. And I made a conscious choice to be 30 minutes late. Now I'm not saying you should do this. I'm not saying this is like a productivity thing. This is not a Jocko discipline advice. This is not, this is not Andrew Huberman, how to manage your dopamine. I made a choice to be late so that I could exercise. I'm not sure how many other people would do that, but I needed to just, to just like jump rope for 20 minutes.
That's really where I'm at in my life. I'm willing to choose to just like show up to work later and just deal with whatever consequences. If I could just like manage my own mental, if I could exercise. And if that exercise means that I'll have a better day, then like I chose to take it. And I feel like I'm, I'm, I'm willing to, to take it more. I don't want to be late every day, but I'm saying like my mental health, like I'm in a place where I'm really trying to figure out the healthy boundaries and the healthy behaviors of prioritizing my mental health. You know, I might've prioritized certain routines in the past.
I might've prioritized certain, uh, certain ways of eating, but it's time to prioritize my mental health. It's time to prioritize my emotional health. And that's been a big part of this year. So hopefully I'm getting more wiser within myself. You know, it's not really something that I can, it's not, I'm not sure. I'm not going to be able to write a book about all this, but it's really just me growing and developing and I'm happy about it. I'm happy that I have this job. I'm happy that I get to have this experience with my family and you know, if I can get spiritual for a second, you know, I just continue to pray for my family.
You know, that's really been a big thing for me. I, I feel like there needs to be more prayer in the world. Did I tell the story a few weeks ago? I was getting my oil change and I was having a small talk with, um, with the guy. I don't even know what to call the, call the position. I think he was the manager and him and I were just talking normal, just about the car and about just like random shit. And then it got to a point where we were talking about like our personal stuff and like what we do, like on the side, what do I do creatively? What does he do out, out of work, whatever.
And out of the blue, man, during this conversation, this guy's like the similar age as me, right? This guy says out of the blue. Yeah, man. Um, you know, lately I've just been, um, you know, I've got this new daughter, man. She's like, you know, she's like two years old. I've been reading the Bible to her every night before we go to bed. And you could tell immediately when he said that, like, he got like nervous, you know, he wasn't sure if he could bring up the Bible with me, but he brought it up. Like, he just brought it up. And me being me, I was like, yeah, man, like dope dude.
Like that's good. Like you should, like that's awesome. And then we had a little conversation about the Bible and how, you know, I've been reading the Bible a bit more and I'm like, I'm going to read the Bible. I'm going to read the Bible. You know, I've been reading the Bible a bit more and I've been trying to get more into it and try to understand different aspects of, of it. And it made me think about how other people are going through a lot of, like the same things that I'm going through. A lot of people have the same thoughts that I have. I think that's one of the magic things about podcasting.
Podcasting is so big because relatable things are being said. Like someone might judge, like an ignorant person, a person who doesn't think for themselves might say these young people who listen to Joe Rogan only listen to him because he does drugs or he does, or he says like toxic masculine things. Like they judge the audience of the podcast based off of the emotions that they think the podcaster is manipulating. Right? So the mainstream media blames the podcast for what the mainstream media does. You know, it's like a projection. But the real reason why podcasts are popular, the real reason why Joe Rogan is Joe Rogan is because Joe Rogan has had experiences that people have gone through as well.
Joe Rogan has gone through rabbit holes that other people have gone down. You know, he can say that he went down the Sasquatch conspiracy theory and he came out the other side, you know, and he doesn't believe in that. You know, how many, how many people do you need to listen to, to know that your life is simultaneously unique and common? That's like a big concept I'm sort of like, I've sort of been like playing with this past week. Just thinking about, thinking about a connection I have to this is, what is it? It's parallel thinking, parallel thoughts, parallel creativity.
Like there's examples of like, of artists across the globe. Like, like one artist is in LA and other artists is in Japan and they have like the same idea. Right? Have you seen these examples? Have you seen this, like the parallel thinking stuff? Like creative people sometimes create either the exact same thing or like some, like two things that are eerily super similar. And it's like, how did you not discuss it between yourselves? How did you not talk about it if there was no communication? You know, it's like, it's as if like we're just receiving these thoughts. It's as if our brain, they're just receivers of ideas and images.
And I've been thinking about that a lot. I've been thinking about the connection that humanity has a lot, man. And I've been praying for humanity to get, to bring it back to spiritualism, to bring it back to the Bible. You know, right now, I guess I'll just say what I've been dealing with, what I've been reading. I've just been reading about the rapture a lot more. I've been reading about, I've been reading Revelation. I've been reading the book of Matthew. And I've been trying to just reevaluate what Jesus was talking about. And I've been trying to, not trying, I have been absorbing, lately, lately, I've been absorbing narratives that seem to connect and broaden the narratives that I grew up with in church.
I don't even have like a lot of things to say about it, dude, because I'm not even, I don't know how to believe it. But this is a topic that, like, it connects all of humanity. And some people treat it as superstition, and some people treat it as legitimate information. And this is connected to the UFOs and the Bible and what, like, the feelings that I'm feeling right now, like, this current era of people struggling, this current era of people. If you just listen to any spiritual podcast, like, a lot of people are going through stuff. A lot of people are stressed. It's not just...
Honestly, in my scrolling experience, I don't see a lot of, like, hokey shit. I mean, there is hokey shit. There's a bunch of hokey spiritual shit. But what I'm saying is, like, it's getting more and more... the volume of spiritual people talking about how they feel uneasy, how they might feel like something's changing, how they feel like there's a shift happening. More and more people are talking about this energy shift, this energy change that's happening within themselves personally. And it's somehow connected to our souls and humanity at large and a deeper understanding of our souls and of spirit and of God and the universe.
And I'm trying to... and I'm here, just a little random human, just trying to keep it together on Earth. Just trying to keep it together. Trying to keep it together. Pretty much the rapture... the rapture that we read in the Bible, it might be real, guys. It might be real. The narratives that I've been absorbing have been tied to this thing called the Galactic Federation and that they have been preparing our shift to a higher dimension for a long-ass time. And what's happening right now, we're in this current era. In this era, I don't know when exactly it's going to happen, but this era is when the rapture is going to happen.
And this is not a warning. This is not a preach. This is not... I'm just trying to be honest with what I'm reading about. I've tried to have answers for you. I've tried to present answers to you. And all I can do is just continue to speak my mind. Like, I don't have answers. I don't have the answers. I can try to point to the answer, but the more and more I... I put myself under this pressure to have the iPhone of answers for you, for the podcast. I want the podcast. I've had emotions, deep emotions. I want America Plus to be real. I want a better world to be real.
To be real, and I need to give you that information to make it a more beautiful world. To make it a better world. But I continue to feel as if I am failing. Like, I fail at that specific thing. I don't fail with interviewing. I do not fail with the consistency of it, but I feel like I fail with the giving of the answer. And as I seek for answers, I'm dabbling in this one. And I'm not trying to say that this is an answer, but I am saying that there's... I'm exploring a deeper... a more broader context to the narratives of the Bible. And if we have a... let's just say... let's stick with history.
If the Bible is a historical book, meaning it's a book that can be traced throughout history, and the narratives can be traced throughout history, you can identify the history of the Bible, and you can identify the origins of the narratives, there's something relevant there. And then along with that, you also have all these examples of UFOs in the Bible, and there's like beings of light in the Bible, and like what's an angel, what's a demon, and you know, there's one... there's been a narrative of... that's been very linear with angels and demons and all these things, and it's a very deep context to the Bible means.
But the deeper I go into it, and this is really all coming from one Twitter account called Cabe, or Cabe... Cabe... Cabe Tigeta. This is a situation where this guy, he says... this guy on Twitter says he has telepathic connections with a species of beings, with a species in space, and they call themselves Pleiadians. Pleiadians. And long story short, they're saying that the rapture is real and the shift is real. They call it the shift. And everything that Jesus said... this guy, Cabe, on Twitter keeps referencing Jesus. He keeps referencing the words of Jesus, and he keeps referencing the Bible, and he keeps talking about what Jesus said, and like how we're going to perform miracles, and how we're going to have renewed bodies.
And I... I'm taking in these narratives, and he's saying... this guy on Twitter is saying that... the rapture is connected to a larger cosmic evolution. And that's something that's really intrigued me. Months ago, I was listening to a spiritual podcast, and they were discussing evolution. And when you think about the term evolution, and like what is evolved, like what gets to be evolved in the universe? If evolution is real, what then evolves? One would assume... like the natural inclination and where this podcast went is everything. Everything evolves.
So if evolution is real, everything must evolve. Like how would... how can a physical thing, like how can anything that's existing right now not evolve? Even the thing, even the table that this camera is on, this will evolve into nothingness. Decreputation, or de... what's the word? Deceleration, like de... Introvert, dude. Inversion. Everything is evolving, even if it's being destroyed or if it's being built up. And... pretty much on a humanity level, on a cosmic level, on a spiritual... on a collective species soul level, we have been evolving.
And there has been knowledge of this that goes into the ancient times. They have always known that we have been evolving. And I'm reading these messages. This guy posts a mix of messages from the communications with the... that he has with the Palladiums, and he posts just general information that might be relevant to whatever topic about a UFO or something. But pretty much I'm exploring this and this is a perspective that confirms the Bible. But it also broadens the context of the Bible. And... I don't know what it means. I don't know what it means. There's a parallel with it though. That parallel is my grandparents.
The reason I'm even willing to... to play around with this idea. You know, because for a long time I really didn't read the Bible. For a really long time I didn't read the Bible. Not because of a hate thing. Not because of a... that I don't believe in a thing. But I didn't... I just did not know or like I wasn't curious about what it might be able to give me. And I'm still working through that and I'm still... I'm still trying to figure that out. But I can confidently say right now that, you know, it is a worthy book to read. There's worthy texts to be read within that thing. And a few weeks ago, the past few weeks, I've been really just beginning to reevaluate it. And, you know, just trying to figure out my place in space. Trying to figure out how I should live my life.
And how I should value family. How I should value my time. How I should value work. How I should value my health. You know, all these things. And it... pretty much it points to a future of paradise. It points to a future of happiness. I'm gonna sit back here. Give me a second. Oh god. I just pulled out. Oh, I just pulled out my headphones. I'm gonna sit back on the couch here, guys. Give me a quick... Oh, I just changed this one. My back was hurting so bad, guys. So pretty much... I keep saying pretty much a lot this time. Sorry, guys. Earth is evolving. Long story short. Humans are evolving. Long story short. Our souls are evolving into a higher vibration. And what Jesus said was real. Jesus really spoke about all this. And there's been dreams about this coming shift and what it means for people. And I think that's what Jesus said. And there are... within the prophecy in the Bible, when it comes to the end times, it speaks of war within Israel. It speaks of earthquakes. It speaks of volcanoes. It speaks of worry. It speaks of fear. It speaks of those who are good are banished and those who are banished are picked up. And everything just gets topsy-turvy. And it's gonna get to a point where it gets so bad. And it's going to get to a point where we might think that it's all gonna end.
And at that point, then that is when the shift happens. The Christians might say that that's when Jesus comes. And this guy, Cabe, he says that Jesus... he's not just Jesus. Jesus was actually a soul. This whole thing deals with your soul, dude. It's not about your personhood. It's not about who you are as the body. It's about your soul. The soul in your body. And he describes the soul of Jesus as a Palladian. It was actually a soul... it was a Palladian who was able to reincarnate themselves as Jesus. And they were sent to be a teacher for humanity, to evolve, to help evolve their consciousness. And there's been teachers...
there's countless teachers. So, I try to tell this to my parents and they say it sounds like Scientology. And I'm like, okay, Sean, I'm gonna tell you about Scientology. And I'm like, okay, show me the Scientology link. Show me where that is. Because I go to this guy's Twitter and I go to this guy's website and the only thing that he's selling is some sort of a reading from... from, I don't know, some other spirit. I don't know. It's one thing. It's literally one reading. You pay for someone to read your vibe and that's it. There's no subscription. There's no come here at this time in this state. There's nothing like that. And there's no Scientology link either.
And my family's Christian and the whole idea about aliens, it's just like you never really talk about that. It's not really something you talk about. Not even a Christian thing. It's just like a human thing. You know, it's like a human thing. It's like a human thing. It's like a human thing. No one knows how to talk about aliens. No one knows how to talk about this. But I'm interested in this because what if it's real? You know, what if the... like people... someone who might not believe in God or karma or prophecies or anything ancient, you know, they might be willing to say that the Bible's all... it's just stories. It's just stories written by selfish people. Some of them might have been good. You know, but what if the Bible is like a library of insane history and poetry and examples of people living and dying and like what if it just means more? Like what if it's real, dude? Like what if it's just this like hodgepodge mix-up of people trying their damn best to describe the world that we live in? Because if you read the book... in the beginning of the book, they...
in the beginning of the Bible, there's literally these things called Nephilim. I don't know how to tell you this, Christians, but the Nephilim... why are they not aliens? The Nephilim? The Nephilim. You want me to think that's normal? Christians? Like I just can't not believe that there's aliens in the world. That there's aliens in the world and the universe. And I'm willing to think that the rapture is connected to an evolution of things. Why am I willing to think that? Well, the reason I want to think that is because everything about the apocalypse, everything about the end times, has been just that. It's been about the end times. It's always been pitched as like the end, and like that's a wrap folks. Like goodbye Earth. That's it, Earth.
Like what the fuck is that, man? Christians have really been preaching death. Christians have been preaching death for hundreds of years, man. And when you really read the Bible, like just fucking open the Bible right now and read what's going on in it, dude. Like there is a... it literally says a new Earth and a new heaven will come upon us. A new heaven and a new Earth. And what does that mean? Well, if you want to take it literally, it literally means a new Earth. That means that Earth is evolving. That means that Earth is changing and we're about to go through something where we're about to be on a new type of Earth. And in the Bible it says that people are going to be like taken away. They're going to like vanish. And this guy on Twitter, Cabe, says that yeah, that's going to happen. You like people will vanish. One will be taken, one will be left.
And pretty much it's going to be everyone who... Now this is a message for all of humanity, right? So I'm not excluding anyone here, okay? Let me get through this. The people who are shifting, the people who are... that will blink away... there's like a first phase of the shift, I guess. There's like a... there's phases of the rapture. There's like America plus. And the first phase, it's going to be like people are just going to disappear. Everyone who is loving, everyone who had a kind heart, like just like internally. Like it's really about your heart. It's really about your heart. It's about your emotions. It's about your judgments. If you judge your neighbor, you are judging yourself 10 times more. And this shift in consciousness, this shift in vibration that our souls are going through, it is absolutely connected to a higher realm, right? I think so.
I think it is. What was I saying? One will be left, one will be taken. The person who is not taken right away in this next phase, the person who does not go away, they're literally going to be on an earth that's going to be like decrepit and like dead. It says in the Bible that forests will wither away, oceans will be destroyed, it says in the Bible that forests will wither away, oceans will dry up. Like everything on earth that is normal will not be good anymore. Everything on earth now will be dead. And if there is any good in the world, all the good will be gone and only like evil will remain.
This earth is going to become so dark and so deadly, it'll be almost pretty much inhabitable. What happens with the people who are left behind is they are going to have a choice. They have free will. Everyone has free will. Everyone has free will. And everyone can make their own choices. That's the beauty of life. The essence of life is free will. The true essence of life is free will. And so it's about choosing to love. Choosing to love the moment you have right now. Choosing that. And that is a really hard thing for a lot of people to take in, dude. Because when you tell someone that the only way that they're going to have a good life is if they begin to be grateful for where they are right now, no one wants to hear that. No one. Nobody wants to hear that. But within the context of the rapture and the shift, the only way you're going to be able to go to the new earth is if you start choosing to love. And I don't have all the answers for that, but it's a good thing.
I don't have to be a And the new earth, you know, this guy on Twitter, Cabe says, you know, it's going to be pretty much exactly the same that it is now. Some things will be different. Like, I think he said something like, if something was, there might be some slight differences. Like, if the statue was facing east, the statue might be facing west or some shit like that. Something like that. It's going to be slightly different, but better. And in this new earth, we evolve, our souls evolve out of duality. Our souls evolve away from the realm that allows negativity or at least the amount of negativity. Like, there's less evil within other dimensions. There's other dimensions.
And so we're going from the third dimension to the fifth. If you're asking what the fourth one is, it's my understanding that the fourth dimension is where like dreams happen. And the fifth dimension is like normal again. I don't have anything to do. I don't. I don't know, dude. This Cabe guy is wild. I freaking love reading his messages, dude. He talks about all the UFOs. He talks about how all the UFOs are the Galactic Federation crafts, and they're protecting us and they're making sure that souls are kept safe. You know, the latest thing is that there's been this whole thing on this like Malaysia Flight 370. There's been like a little pickup in the speculation of what happened to that missing flight. If you don't know anything about this random ass flight, pretty much this Malaysia flight, this Malaysia airplane vanished out of thin air and no one has heard from the passengers, from the 200 plus passengers or the dozen crew members. And this guy, Cabe, is saying that first of all, the thing was attacked. Second of all, he's really saying that this Malaysia plane was attacked by Chinese heat rays. And when it happened, the Galactic Federation came in and there's video of like these like light orbs swirling around this airplane. You can see this. You can see this on Twitter right now. And next thing you know, like the plane's gone. And he's saying that China was going to, China was experimenting with a new weapon and they were going to put it on this random flight so that they could see if they can just disintegrate people instantly. And the Galactic Federation got word of that. They knew that because I guess they know everything. I don't know. I don't know that answer, but they came in, they swooped in and they saved all the souls. They brought the souls to their origins, which could be either Earth or some other planet or some other place in space. I'm not 100% sure on that, dude. Cabe said a soul origin is like, like a soul could be from Earth or a soul could be from somewhere else. Like there are souls on planets. Like somehow, there's like a deeper understanding to souls. And that's why I mentioned this plasma book. I'm talking about this, how like there's a deeper understanding of plasma and how the matter of plasma can be connected to the matter of your soul. Like our souls are plasma. And I'm getting way too much information right now, man. Like this is a me going wild podcast because I was scared. I'm still scared to bring this up. Like I'm scared to talk about it, but I need to just bring it up because it's on my mind. It's on my heart. And the thing that gets me going about it is that my grandparents are in a generation of Christians where they, now this is coming from my grandparents, okay. When they were teenagers, when they were young adults and they were in Christian colleges and there was like a whole revival going on back in the 60s, right? A whole Christian revival, Jesus revival.
And my grandparents told me this past summer, they said that when they were in college and in Bible study, they truly believe, but they believed and still believe that they are, that they will be the elders, the elder generation within the rapture. That was something that they legitimately spoke about, okay. And that was just their, coming from their readings of their Bible, of their studies, you know, there, I don't think there was any other connection to, I don't think anyone else back then was talking about aliens and stuff like that, but they really believed that the rapture would happen in their lifetime. Like in their, my grandparents believe in their lifetime the rapture is happening and they believe it now. They believe it right now. I mean, they believe it now. They believe it now. They believe it right now. And I'm beginning to believe it. Like I'm beginning to believe that this is all real and I don't have any control over it. Like I don't, I'm not, I will not judge you if you do not believe in this. I'm just like scrolling through and I'm reading and I'm just like, I'm like, I'm at a point where I'm like, damn, like is this shit real? Are we about to shift? Are we really, is a new earth really about to happen? And then I get a little worried. Like, Oh God, like, Oh God, like, I hope everyone, I hope everyone that I love is going to be there. I hope, I hope Shannon will be there. I hope my mom will be there. I hope, I hope Wyatt will be there.
I hope my dogs are there. Oh, another thing Cabe said, dogs have souls. Dogs are alive. If you have a dead dog, your dog will remember you. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy world. Like that's, that's the other thing too. Like it, it almost seems too perfect. It almost seems way too perfect. Here's the other thing. Here's why it seems too perfect too. Another point in the Bible, in the rapture, within the new earth, during the rapture, it says the dead will rise. And that's where people are like, Oh yeah, dude, Bible has zombies dog, zombies in the Bible, bro. And, and from one perspective, it's like, okay, yeah, the rising of the dead. Okay. The raising of the dead sounds like a zombie, but Cabe on Twitter says that everyone who was gone will return was gone will return and there will be immense celebrations. And I just, I, I, I can't fathom that. I, I don't know how that's possible. I don't understand how, why and how, like, why is it necessary that everyone comes back? Why, like in, in terms of evolution, how does it make sense that, that's that people come back to life? I thought souls and like, within this context, it seems like souls reincarnate. If souls reincarnate, are all the souls who died just waiting or did they reincarnate? And it also makes me think about my podcast. Like, am I, like, will I be able to do a podcast with George Washington? Will I be able to do a podcast with Jesus? Will I be able to do a podcast with anyone, anyone who's dead? If you could do a podcast with three people who are dead, who would you do it with? Like, why is that question a question? Why do we even think like that?
Why do we not think that a person is just dead? Why do we even speculate what we would ask Walt Disney? You know, like, why do we even do that? Does that mean that there's like an inherent belief that like we can speak to the dead or the dead aren't really dead? Like, why do we not just, like, do deer think that their fellow deer brethren are still around and that they will return one day? Like, I don't think animals think like that, dude. I feel like humans are the only ones who think like that. And it, from this perspective, from this story, from this narrative, it's as if it's always been. Within every culture and religion, there's always been an aspect of death, an aspect of reincarnation, and an understanding of the soul going somewhere, and the soul learning, and the soul gaining experiences. And maybe there's a collective to it. Maybe there's a collective soul. Maybe there's a collective consciousness, and that consciousness has evolved to a degree where everything that was can begin again.
But better. And to get to the very end of this, we're evolving away from evil. The Christians, you know, the misinterpretation is that everyone's gonna die. The real interpretation in this narrative is everyone is going to live. And that's, and that is a radical thought. And that's, and that is a radical thing. That's super, that's super radical. So what happens if I believe this? Am I, am I a kook? Am I crazy? Am I something, am I uneducated? Am I naive? Am I dumb? And if I don't believe it, am I arrogant? Am I unwise? Am I close-minded? You know, we're just going through impossible things, man. We're going through impossible things.
Anyway, I hope I didn't bore you with that. What do we got now, folks? Yeah, I hope I didn't bore you with that because that's really like what I have this week. I have my family and I have aliens on Twitter. That's what I got, dude. That's my value. And with that, folks, we are going to be heading on into the boost, ladies and gentlemen. America Plus is a value for value show. That means that I put my heart and soul into this thing and I try to bring interesting information, interesting narratives, innovative narratives that get you thinking. And hopefully I'm like carving out the rabbit hole for you to fall down into. I want to focus on some boosts. So the boostograms, the value for value, what that is.
I put effort. You're able to put value on the show. You choose the value of the show. And I got a couple people here from last week, number 97, incentives. I was talking about just some incentives that I have about just listening to the show. Why are you listening to the show? I talked about my movie, Magic Mushroom Fun Time, coming out Christmas day of 2023. And I got a couple of supporters who wanted to send in some treasure here. There's three main ways that you can support the show. It's time, talent, and treasure. Time being just listening to me and just listening to these things, like trying to evaluate if I'm in a right head space, trying to see if I'm crazy or not, and just engaging with the video. If you're watching the video, like, subscribe, whatever way that you can engage with the content in front of you. That's your time.
So thank you for engaging with your time. Talent. Now, this is a new thing. The talent thing, I am giving up my talents. I am sharing my talents with another podcaster named Kyron Down. You know, we haven't talked if I'm allowed to say this, but I will be a voice on his podcast this week. I'm super excited. Kyron sent me some things to read. I'm going to be doing, I'll be a reader for his podcast. And that's my talent that I'm sharing with him. And you're able to share your talents with me. If you have more information about Pleiadians, you can, like, that's your talent. Share that with me, please. I'm interested in that. If you have any information regarding any subjects that I discussed, that is your talent. That is the value you can bring if you so choose.
Please bring that. If you have any interesting topics or books to share with me, please share those with me because that is value. That is valuable to me. And then the last thing, the most important thing in what I'm reading right now is the treasure. Treasure is money. My favorite money is Bitcoin. You can download the Fountain app if you want to send Bitcoin to me. Go to value for value dot info for more info, then download the fountain dot FM app. It's the best way to support the show. This whole thing, this whole system is called value for value and pretty much Fountain is one app of many that allows you to use a new payment system. A new payment system to send money to people instantly around the world for extremely little fees. And that payment system is Bitcoin. You're able to send me small bits of Bitcoin called Satoshis. And I got a couple of people who sent me Satoshis this past week. I'm going from the lowest to the highest. This is the community, folks. If you want to be a part of the community, if you want to be cool, download Fountain, send Bitcoin to podcasters. This is so innovative. You can even do it with musicians.
You can also send Bitcoin to musicians. It's going everywhere and I'm bringing it forward to cinema. But we're still in the podcasting. This first one comes from Joel W. He sends in a satchel of Richards, 1111 sats. He says, okay, and I was talking about AI generated art. He says AI generated art just cannot do hands for whatever reason. They always look deformed in one way or another. The rise of the machines is the least of our worries. Yes, Joel. Boost. Joel, I agree with you. I'm so not afraid of the machines. I was trying to tell that to my sisters and my sister brought up the story of, she was like, I was talking to Eric and Eric told me this really crazy story of these two AI robots in Japan and they were talking to each other and they all of a sudden they just started talking in their own language and then the people had to shut them off. And then my response was, so they shut them off? Literally? All we got to do is shut it down? Sounds pretty simple, dude.
Oh, and then Joel W. sends in this comment. So he sent in, last week he sent in a funny number, 1840. And I asked him what that number was. I didn't understand what it was. And now he's saying that the 1840 was the sat, the Satoshi equivalent of my first Twitter payout. So Joel, thank you one more time. Thank you so much for that, man. Yeah, I got paid off from Twitter. Didn't get any money this week from Twitter, sadly, but it's cool, man. I just continue to build that up and just learning my way. That's like the main social media. It's the main centralized social media that I'm leaning into. I think it's a smart move, hopefully. Just trying to, just trying to pay the bills, you know? I'll get more. I'll get more. I know that. And then this last one comes from at Mere Mortals podcast from Kyron Down. So this podcast comes out on Wednesdays. You're going to be hearing my voice on the Mere Mortals podcast on Wednesday. And Kyron sends in a lovely row of ducks. He sends in 2,222 Sats. He says, I would say double down on finding ways to collaborate with value for value. For example, I'm looking to incorporate someone who has a good voice to read some quotes for me on the book reviews. Then I'd put them in as split or value time splits. Also lean into conversations. They're hard work, but you've got a talent for them, Cole. And I tune into you because I think you have a great mix of enthusiasm and creativity that I personally lack.
Kyron, I'm going to comment on that later and want to be there from the very beginning and see what you do with it. Kyron, thank you very much, sir. And now, as the French say, it is time for the boost. It's basically you put Bitcoin with anything and all of a sudden that is more efficient. Kyron, I never want to hear you say you lack anything ever again, my guy. Kyron, what are you saying? You don't, you lack enthusiasm and creativity. I don't know, dude. Aren't you the one who's like leaning into live streaming your podcasts and getting people to like, aren't you, what creativity are you lacking, Kyron? Last time I checked, dude, you're helping me make a movie.
Last time I checked, you're like innovating yourself, my friend. So don't doubt yourself, dude. Like you have enthusiasm. You're enthusiastic about value for value. You're enthusiastic about Bitcoin. You're enthusiastic about finding a good life. Like my guy, my friend. Like maybe this is just like an in the moment thing, but I vehemently disagree with you, Kyron. You do not lack anything. You lack nothing. There is only everything to gain. Okay. You understand that? But yeah, thank you for that, Kyron. I'm going to be honest with you, I'm going to be honest with you, Kyron. I really appreciate that. Yeah. I'm leaning into that. I'm leaning into the more conversations. I'm getting a list together. I'm getting a rough list of people to interview and to schedule. A good range of people actually. I don't want to spoil anything yet, but you know, I'm putting all my energy into the movie and then I'm doing the interviews or then I'll be like producing more interviews. So I'm excited for that. Like it's happening. Like that's something I can really just, that's a real promise that I have. Like it's just going to get better and better and better, man. These conversations. And I want to talk to people about the rapture. Maybe I need to talk to more Bible people about the rapture. I want to talk to this cave individual.
I'm not sure if he would be willing to even talk to me about this, but I want to talk more about these things, these subjects, these really far out there things that might seem connected to a better world and to a better understanding of life and everything around us, man. Like it just seems beautiful. And thank you for everyone who sent in that value. Like that's value for value right there. The value for value time splits is a huge deal. The value for value splits is the real innovation of this payment system, of this ecosystem. When it comes to my movie, I'm giving everybody a split of the money that comes in for the movie. Okay. On top of that, I'll be putting everyone who helped make my movie on the podcast and giving them a split on that podcast's episode.
So essentially there each person on my team will have two pieces of content that they will be able to gain money from instantly. And that's going to expand to the artists and it's expanding to teams of musicians. And I'm trying to do it for movies, man. Like that's the real thing. Value for value. Favor for favor. That's my dog. Those are my dogs, if you can hear them. They're insane. What else do I got here? I don't think I have too much else guys. I just want to talk about that value. Thank you for listening to me ramble about the Palladiums because I really just needed to get that off my chest. Like it was going to be one of those things where I could just sit here and keep it in my heart and believe it to be true, or I can try to release it out into the universe and figure out where the bullshit is. So please chime in if you think it's crazy. Chime in if you think I'm nuts or if you think I'm super naive. Like this is, we're really trying to figure things out, man. I want the answers. I want the answers to a better world.
And I want to have a more level spirit. I want to have a more level heads, a headset, a more, a more balanced emotional spiritual life, man. That's what I'm looking for. I see hope in that. I see hope in that, man. In terms of better systems, you know, I think we're getting there. Anything else? Anything else? Am I forgetting anything else? I don't think so, guys. I go in tomorrow. I got an early flight tomorrow, so I should probably turn this off. I've been talking for an hour. I've got to wake up at four, dog. We'll see how that goes. But yeah, thank you for tuning into the podcast. Value for Value is the system, is the model of the future for independent artists. I'm a podcaster making movies and I'm just here, I'm just here vibing y'all. So tune in next week. That's the perfect, that's saved by the bell, guys. Thank you so much for listening. That's America Plus, bitch. Stay free.
It's Christmas time, folks. But what about the what's up, everyone? It's America Plus. I'm your host, Cole McCormick. It's another week, another episode. What's going on, everybody? You made it to the week, everybody. Welcome. It's Sunday, November 26, 23. It is 732 in the PM, everybody. I'm coming to you late night podcast, everybody. It's late night, America Plus. So we're going to slow it down here a little bit, everybody. Coming to you live from the guest bedroom slash mother's office of my childhood home. We're chilling here.
I did a quick two day trip for Thanksgiving. Love seeing my family. This week was busy for me, man. This week was really busy. I had just a lot of hours at work, so that's good for me. Got some extra hours and I don't want the power to fall out, dude. I mean, I forgot a cord. So traveling here with my podcast gear. This is the first trip. This is my first trip that I have ever forgotten a cord. I forgot a USB-C cord. And luckily, Apple just switched to USB-C. So like the podcast almost did not. It was almost an audio. It was almost on a mobile recording.
But luckily, it wasn't. So I'm just like fiddling around here. But this week has been fun. I've been planning on doing a traveling podcast. It was Thanksgiving this week, man. I have a lot of things to say about what I went through on Thanksgiving Day. I worked at a restaurant for the first time. I got to get a restaurant kitchen experience on Thanksgiving. And the reason I'm bringing this up is because I have this weird little... I'm not sure if you call it like an idiosyncretie or if I'm just weird or like if I'm on the autistic spectrum. I think every job I have is giving me a skill that I need.
I don't know what skills are being developed. I like to assume the kind of skills that might be like important for me. I'm sorry about that alarm. That's some random alarm that will be turning off here in under 30 seconds. We're going to be OK, guys. The reason why I'm bringing this up is because I... I got certain skills from the movie theater. I got certain skills from the pizza place. I got certain skills from the weed shop. And a lot of these are like customer service. A lot of these are just like managing time on my own. A lot of these jobs also offered me...
I can't believe this fucking alarm is going off again. I thought it went off earlier and I thought I was good. And then I hit record and now it's here. So I thought I was going to be cooking steaks when I first started at Roost Chris. But they took me to the prep area and now I'm just some person who chops potatoes for living. Which is totally cool. Totally fine. Just bear with it, guys. Bear with it. We're going to be OK. We're going to get through it. I promise you it will end right now. Ladies and gentlemen, God bless us all. We're three minutes in.
We served about 900 people on Thanksgiving Day and I chopped 130 pounds of potatoes. I don't know what the translation is in world numbers, but in American numbers, 130 pounds. And that was the most amount of potatoes I've ever cut in my life. Didn't have to peel them, thank God. But I did have to cut them. Just chop, chop, chop it away, dude. Like the show Bear. Also, just a quick little funny thing that I've had describing my job to other people. I somehow stumbled in a kitchen job when one of the biggest shows ever is a kitchen chef show. The Bear on Hulu.
Have you heard of this? So sometimes I'm just talking to people in LA and they're like, so what do you do? I'm like, oh, I work in a kitchen. I'm at Roost Chris. And this is the legit reaction. Oh, no way. Like the Bear, dude. Like you're cooking, dude. That's so cool, dude. Like they were literally freaking out that I'm cooking food. Like, yeah, I make a cheese sauce for living, man. I get $18 if I cook it well. It's nice. And it's just funny, man. I think I somehow have always had jobs that people have admired from a cultural perspective. OK, like I delivered pizzas.
Like how many of you can willingly say that you've had a bad experience with the pizza guy? OK, like I feel like that's a small list. I feel like that's a small list of mishaps. Usually the pizza guy is your guy. Right? And then I also got to experience, what else was I going to say? I was going to say, oh, OK. I was talking about like experiences, like holidays. I got to experience learning how to manage a crowd and manage lines during Star Wars The Force Awakens when I was working at a movie theater. I got to have this like insane crowd, like rush of people coming to see Star Wars after, you know, 30 plus years. And that was like some of the most hype shit I've ever been a part of.
And my movie theater literally ran out of popcorn. And we had to tell people, like, hey, you got to wait like 20 minutes for your popcorn. And they're like, my movie starts in 10. And we're like, oh. So you have these experiences. And I have this experience at Roost Chris and I'm just I guess I'm serving. Technically, I'm serving, but I'm really just like chopping. I'm serving these people and the entire day and the entire week, I truly felt grateful. And that's an interesting thing, because a couple of years ago when I was working at the weed shop, when I was working at the weed shop, I wasn't able to come home for Christmas.
And that just that really that was the only time and hopefully the one and only time that I wasn't able to come home for Christmas Day. I was able to visit after, but, you know, I mean, like in my head, like there's something about there's something special about the day, you know. And I went through that a couple of years ago, crying. I was really crying on my couch. I was crying next to my girlfriend and like missing my family on Christmas. You know, it was it was it was Christmas night and I just wasn't home, you know. And now we're in this year.
We're in this experience. We're working at Roost Chris and we're doing Thanksgiving. And for some reason, I'm grateful on Thanksgiving. Why am I grateful? You know, and there's there's been all this stuff going on in my life. And, you know, my dad has cancer and my family's just going through it. He's just going through a transition. I'm going through a transition. We're all growing. We're all evolving. Everything around us and in us is evolving all the time. And this just happens to be a period where like more of it is happening. And I was worried over the summer getting closer to the holidays that I wouldn't be able to come home.
And as it got closer, I started to just like assume and just like expect that I was going to be working on Thanksgiving. And I was trying to just like psych myself up. I was trying to just like be OK with it. And then just like talking to my dad casually, you know, he's he tells me straight up. It's not about the day, son. It's just about you being here. And like that's real shit, dude. So a part of this week is just me like listening to my dad, I guess. Listening to just allowing his wisdom to calm me down. Just not being stressed, you know, to look at the gratefulness of of being able to be with my family.
And today was legit. I went to a Cardinals game, dude. I went to a football game, American football game. So the Arizona Cardinals, I even got this hat, got this thirty five dollar hat. It was the cheapest hat they had. I think it looks cool. I think it looks dope. It's like a retro version. It's like a retro design. They lost, by the way, the Cardinals freaking suck. Cardinals suck, dog. Like don't even watch anything. Don't even look at highlights. I'm wearing this Larry Fitzgerald jersey because it's literally like one of five people who have ever been good on the Cardinals.
So it's just a whole lifetime of crying about losing, watching this team. But I got to hang out and do a tailgate today. And that's really where the gratefulness comes from because, you know, it's one of those things where like if I was able to come on the day of Thanksgiving, maybe I would only be able to come for like 24 hours, you know, but in this situation, you know, I'm able to be here for the weekend and I have tomorrow off and, you know, just in these moments, you never know how long someone's going to be in your life and you never know who's going through what. And you just want to like, I want to be with my family as much as I can.
And I don't know how to do that right now. And so I'm taking, I take these holidays really seriously so that I can spend time with them and I can spend a lot of time with my nephew, Wyatt. Did some recordings with him. Of course, he loves doing the podcast with me. He absolutely loves it. So I guess this week is really just like a family week. It's really just perspective week on, on, on... I am patting myself on the back this week of being grateful and being happy because on Thanksgiving Day, I'm working and I was happy the entire day. I was happy.
I was happy to be there. Which is strange for a lot of people. You know, you never really like going into work. No one likes going into work, but there was just really good vibes this past week, man. There was just really good vibes and I felt like I got closer with some people there and I got closer with some people that I haven't known before, you know. Just people, just coworkers that I, I see passing by. I might've said hi to them, but then that never really spoke to them. You know, I'm finally talking to these people, you know, they're friends. Like they're coming up to me.
I'm coming up to them. Like there's finally interactions happening. It's been like six months. You know, I can tend to be, I tend to be like a little quiet sometimes in this job. I haven't, I've never, I've never usually been quiet, but this is something new for me. You know, just going through different behaviors, just trying to figure out who my friends are, you know. And Thanksgiving was great. I had a little dinner with Shannon and it was beautiful. It was a great holiday. I had a really enjoyable time. I had a really great Thanksgiving.
And if you celebrated it, you know, happy Thanksgiving. If you don't, it's okay. I don't care. Who does, who does celebrate Thanksgiving? Is this just a weird American thing? Like, do I need to stop doing this? Do we need to stop eating as a culture? Had some leftovers. I don't like Thanksgiving food. That's, that's something that I know for a fact. That's if I had a choice of food, I'm choosing steak every time. I'm not choosing turkey or mashed potatoes. Or sweet potatoes. Like that's too much sugar, dude. My mom puts too much sugar in the sweet potatoes.
I'll tell you that, dude. I have, I had one scoop of it and I'm literally like all about to throw up of how sweet it was, bro. Like some people go really crazy. Some people go crazy with the sugar, dude. Um, and with that, that leads me into what I'm focusing on. Like I was able to focus on my emotions this week really well. I was able to focus in my intention on what I needed to do and I could change my thoughts. And I just continue this vibe of feeling good as we get closer and closer to the release of my short film, Magic Mushroom Fun Time, the first value for value cinema experience.
That's what I'm trying to build up here. That's what I'm, that's what I'm trying to thrive with within, dude. So I'm trying to build to, so I'm trying to, be intentional about the work that I do not like. I'm being intentional with the thoughts in my head, man. Like this is serious stuff, man. And I'm in a good space. I, I feel like my own mental health is getting healthier. And maybe for a while, maybe it just wasn't. It's ebbs and flows all the time, right? Sometimes you, sometimes you have perspective on how you used to be, and other times you don't have perspective on how you used to feel.
And I can just say in the last six months, dude, like I went through, I've been going through an insane roller coaster, like really insane. Just the last year, there's really insane roller coaster. And I'm confident that where I'm at, like I need to be where I'm at until something good happens. And that does not, that doesn't mean that I'm not going to be where I'm at. That's not me being lazy. Last week I said I was lazy for going to AI, even though that might be somewhat true. You know, I'm also still working hard on making those images look well. But I'm not lazy in, in making sure that I, or I don't want to be lazy in making sure that I feel well or making sure that I, I have enough time to, I don't know, myself, I have enough time for exercise.
I have enough time for, you know, whatever is necessary for me. The day after Thanksgiving, Friday morning, I had to go back into the kitchen around like 9 30. And I made a conscious choice to be 30 minutes late. Now I'm not saying you should do this. I'm not saying this is like a productivity thing. This is not a Jocko discipline advice. This is not, this is not Andrew Huberman, how to manage your dopamine. I made a choice to be late so that I could exercise. I'm not sure how many other people would do that, but I needed to just, to just like jump rope for 20 minutes.
That's really where I'm at in my life. I'm willing to choose to just like show up to work later and just deal with whatever consequences. If I could just like manage my own mental, if I could exercise. And if that exercise means that I'll have a better day, then like I chose to take it. And I feel like I'm, I'm, I'm willing to, to take it more. I don't want to be late every day, but I'm saying like my mental health, like I'm in a place where I'm really trying to figure out the healthy boundaries and the healthy behaviors of prioritizing my mental health. You know, I might've prioritized certain routines in the past.
I might've prioritized certain, uh, certain ways of eating, but it's time to prioritize my mental health. It's time to prioritize my emotional health. And that's been a big part of this year. So hopefully I'm getting more wiser within myself. You know, it's not really something that I can, it's not, I'm not sure. I'm not going to be able to write a book about all this, but it's really just me growing and developing and I'm happy about it. I'm happy that I have this job. I'm happy that I get to have this experience with my family and you know, if I can get spiritual for a second, you know, I just continue to pray for my family.
You know, that's really been a big thing for me. I, I feel like there needs to be more prayer in the world. Did I tell the story a few weeks ago? I was getting my oil change and I was having a small talk with, um, with the guy. I don't even know what to call the, call the position. I think he was the manager and him and I were just talking normal, just about the car and about just like random shit. And then it got to a point where we were talking about like our personal stuff and like what we do, like on the side, what do I do creatively? What does he do out, out of work, whatever.
And out of the blue, man, during this conversation, this guy's like the similar age as me, right? This guy says out of the blue. Yeah, man. Um, you know, lately I've just been, um, you know, I've got this new daughter, man. She's like, you know, she's like two years old. I've been reading the Bible to her every night before we go to bed. And you could tell immediately when he said that, like, he got like nervous, you know, he wasn't sure if he could bring up the Bible with me, but he brought it up. Like, he just brought it up. And me being me, I was like, yeah, man, like dope dude.
Like that's good. Like you should, like that's awesome. And then we had a little conversation about the Bible and how, you know, I've been reading the Bible a bit more and I'm like, I'm going to read the Bible. I'm going to read the Bible. You know, I've been reading the Bible a bit more and I've been trying to get more into it and try to understand different aspects of, of it. And it made me think about how other people are going through a lot of, like the same things that I'm going through. A lot of people have the same thoughts that I have. I think that's one of the magic things about podcasting.
Podcasting is so big because relatable things are being said. Like someone might judge, like an ignorant person, a person who doesn't think for themselves might say these young people who listen to Joe Rogan only listen to him because he does drugs or he does, or he says like toxic masculine things. Like they judge the audience of the podcast based off of the emotions that they think the podcaster is manipulating. Right? So the mainstream media blames the podcast for what the mainstream media does. You know, it's like a projection. But the real reason why podcasts are popular, the real reason why Joe Rogan is Joe Rogan is because Joe Rogan has had experiences that people have gone through as well.
Joe Rogan has gone through rabbit holes that other people have gone down. You know, he can say that he went down the Sasquatch conspiracy theory and he came out the other side, you know, and he doesn't believe in that. You know, how many, how many people do you need to listen to, to know that your life is simultaneously unique and common? That's like a big concept I'm sort of like, I've sort of been like playing with this past week. Just thinking about, thinking about a connection I have to this is, what is it? It's parallel thinking, parallel thoughts, parallel creativity.
Like there's examples of like, of artists across the globe. Like, like one artist is in LA and other artists is in Japan and they have like the same idea. Right? Have you seen these examples? Have you seen this, like the parallel thinking stuff? Like creative people sometimes create either the exact same thing or like some, like two things that are eerily super similar. And it's like, how did you not discuss it between yourselves? How did you not talk about it if there was no communication? You know, it's like, it's as if like we're just receiving these thoughts. It's as if our brain, they're just receivers of ideas and images.
And I've been thinking about that a lot. I've been thinking about the connection that humanity has a lot, man. And I've been praying for humanity to get, to bring it back to spiritualism, to bring it back to the Bible. You know, right now, I guess I'll just say what I've been dealing with, what I've been reading. I've just been reading about the rapture a lot more. I've been reading about, I've been reading Revelation. I've been reading the book of Matthew. And I've been trying to just reevaluate what Jesus was talking about. And I've been trying to, not trying, I have been absorbing, lately, lately, I've been absorbing narratives that seem to connect and broaden the narratives that I grew up with in church.
I don't even have like a lot of things to say about it, dude, because I'm not even, I don't know how to believe it. But this is a topic that, like, it connects all of humanity. And some people treat it as superstition, and some people treat it as legitimate information. And this is connected to the UFOs and the Bible and what, like, the feelings that I'm feeling right now, like, this current era of people struggling, this current era of people. If you just listen to any spiritual podcast, like, a lot of people are going through stuff. A lot of people are stressed. It's not just...
Honestly, in my scrolling experience, I don't see a lot of, like, hokey shit. I mean, there is hokey shit. There's a bunch of hokey spiritual shit. But what I'm saying is, like, it's getting more and more... the volume of spiritual people talking about how they feel uneasy, how they might feel like something's changing, how they feel like there's a shift happening. More and more people are talking about this energy shift, this energy change that's happening within themselves personally. And it's somehow connected to our souls and humanity at large and a deeper understanding of our souls and of spirit and of God and the universe.
And I'm trying to... and I'm here, just a little random human, just trying to keep it together on Earth. Just trying to keep it together. Trying to keep it together. Pretty much the rapture... the rapture that we read in the Bible, it might be real, guys. It might be real. The narratives that I've been absorbing have been tied to this thing called the Galactic Federation and that they have been preparing our shift to a higher dimension for a long-ass time. And what's happening right now, we're in this current era. In this era, I don't know when exactly it's going to happen, but this era is when the rapture is going to happen.
And this is not a warning. This is not a preach. This is not... I'm just trying to be honest with what I'm reading about. I've tried to have answers for you. I've tried to present answers to you. And all I can do is just continue to speak my mind. Like, I don't have answers. I don't have the answers. I can try to point to the answer, but the more and more I... I put myself under this pressure to have the iPhone of answers for you, for the podcast. I want the podcast. I've had emotions, deep emotions. I want America Plus to be real. I want a better world to be real.
To be real, and I need to give you that information to make it a more beautiful world. To make it a better world. But I continue to feel as if I am failing. Like, I fail at that specific thing. I don't fail with interviewing. I do not fail with the consistency of it, but I feel like I fail with the giving of the answer. And as I seek for answers, I'm dabbling in this one. And I'm not trying to say that this is an answer, but I am saying that there's... I'm exploring a deeper... a more broader context to the narratives of the Bible. And if we have a... let's just say... let's stick with history.
If the Bible is a historical book, meaning it's a book that can be traced throughout history, and the narratives can be traced throughout history, you can identify the history of the Bible, and you can identify the origins of the narratives, there's something relevant there. And then along with that, you also have all these examples of UFOs in the Bible, and there's like beings of light in the Bible, and like what's an angel, what's a demon, and you know, there's one... there's been a narrative of... that's been very linear with angels and demons and all these things, and it's a very deep context to the Bible means.
But the deeper I go into it, and this is really all coming from one Twitter account called Cabe, or Cabe... Cabe... Cabe Tigeta. This is a situation where this guy, he says... this guy on Twitter says he has telepathic connections with a species of beings, with a species in space, and they call themselves Pleiadians. Pleiadians. And long story short, they're saying that the rapture is real and the shift is real. They call it the shift. And everything that Jesus said... this guy, Cabe, on Twitter keeps referencing Jesus. He keeps referencing the words of Jesus, and he keeps referencing the Bible, and he keeps talking about what Jesus said, and like how we're going to perform miracles, and how we're going to have renewed bodies.
And I... I'm taking in these narratives, and he's saying... this guy on Twitter is saying that... the rapture is connected to a larger cosmic evolution. And that's something that's really intrigued me. Months ago, I was listening to a spiritual podcast, and they were discussing evolution. And when you think about the term evolution, and like what is evolved, like what gets to be evolved in the universe? If evolution is real, what then evolves? One would assume... like the natural inclination and where this podcast went is everything. Everything evolves.
So if evolution is real, everything must evolve. Like how would... how can a physical thing, like how can anything that's existing right now not evolve? Even the thing, even the table that this camera is on, this will evolve into nothingness. Decreputation, or de... what's the word? Deceleration, like de... Introvert, dude. Inversion. Everything is evolving, even if it's being destroyed or if it's being built up. And... pretty much on a humanity level, on a cosmic level, on a spiritual... on a collective species soul level, we have been evolving.
And there has been knowledge of this that goes into the ancient times. They have always known that we have been evolving. And I'm reading these messages. This guy posts a mix of messages from the communications with the... that he has with the Palladiums, and he posts just general information that might be relevant to whatever topic about a UFO or something. But pretty much I'm exploring this and this is a perspective that confirms the Bible. But it also broadens the context of the Bible. And... I don't know what it means. I don't know what it means. There's a parallel with it though. That parallel is my grandparents.
The reason I'm even willing to... to play around with this idea. You know, because for a long time I really didn't read the Bible. For a really long time I didn't read the Bible. Not because of a hate thing. Not because of a... that I don't believe in a thing. But I didn't... I just did not know or like I wasn't curious about what it might be able to give me. And I'm still working through that and I'm still... I'm still trying to figure that out. But I can confidently say right now that, you know, it is a worthy book to read. There's worthy texts to be read within that thing. And a few weeks ago, the past few weeks, I've been really just beginning to reevaluate it. And, you know, just trying to figure out my place in space. Trying to figure out how I should live my life.
And how I should value family. How I should value my time. How I should value work. How I should value my health. You know, all these things. And it... pretty much it points to a future of paradise. It points to a future of happiness. I'm gonna sit back here. Give me a second. Oh god. I just pulled out. Oh, I just pulled out my headphones. I'm gonna sit back on the couch here, guys. Give me a quick... Oh, I just changed this one. My back was hurting so bad, guys. So pretty much... I keep saying pretty much a lot this time. Sorry, guys. Earth is evolving. Long story short. Humans are evolving. Long story short. Our souls are evolving into a higher vibration. And what Jesus said was real. Jesus really spoke about all this. And there's been dreams about this coming shift and what it means for people. And I think that's what Jesus said. And there are... within the prophecy in the Bible, when it comes to the end times, it speaks of war within Israel. It speaks of earthquakes. It speaks of volcanoes. It speaks of worry. It speaks of fear. It speaks of those who are good are banished and those who are banished are picked up. And everything just gets topsy-turvy. And it's gonna get to a point where it gets so bad. And it's going to get to a point where we might think that it's all gonna end.
And at that point, then that is when the shift happens. The Christians might say that that's when Jesus comes. And this guy, Cabe, he says that Jesus... he's not just Jesus. Jesus was actually a soul. This whole thing deals with your soul, dude. It's not about your personhood. It's not about who you are as the body. It's about your soul. The soul in your body. And he describes the soul of Jesus as a Palladian. It was actually a soul... it was a Palladian who was able to reincarnate themselves as Jesus. And they were sent to be a teacher for humanity, to evolve, to help evolve their consciousness. And there's been teachers...
there's countless teachers. So, I try to tell this to my parents and they say it sounds like Scientology. And I'm like, okay, Sean, I'm gonna tell you about Scientology. And I'm like, okay, show me the Scientology link. Show me where that is. Because I go to this guy's Twitter and I go to this guy's website and the only thing that he's selling is some sort of a reading from... from, I don't know, some other spirit. I don't know. It's one thing. It's literally one reading. You pay for someone to read your vibe and that's it. There's no subscription. There's no come here at this time in this state. There's nothing like that. And there's no Scientology link either.
And my family's Christian and the whole idea about aliens, it's just like you never really talk about that. It's not really something you talk about. Not even a Christian thing. It's just like a human thing. You know, it's like a human thing. It's like a human thing. It's like a human thing. No one knows how to talk about aliens. No one knows how to talk about this. But I'm interested in this because what if it's real? You know, what if the... like people... someone who might not believe in God or karma or prophecies or anything ancient, you know, they might be willing to say that the Bible's all... it's just stories. It's just stories written by selfish people. Some of them might have been good. You know, but what if the Bible is like a library of insane history and poetry and examples of people living and dying and like what if it just means more? Like what if it's real, dude? Like what if it's just this like hodgepodge mix-up of people trying their damn best to describe the world that we live in? Because if you read the book... in the beginning of the book, they...
in the beginning of the Bible, there's literally these things called Nephilim. I don't know how to tell you this, Christians, but the Nephilim... why are they not aliens? The Nephilim? The Nephilim. You want me to think that's normal? Christians? Like I just can't not believe that there's aliens in the world. That there's aliens in the world and the universe. And I'm willing to think that the rapture is connected to an evolution of things. Why am I willing to think that? Well, the reason I want to think that is because everything about the apocalypse, everything about the end times, has been just that. It's been about the end times. It's always been pitched as like the end, and like that's a wrap folks. Like goodbye Earth. That's it, Earth.
Like what the fuck is that, man? Christians have really been preaching death. Christians have been preaching death for hundreds of years, man. And when you really read the Bible, like just fucking open the Bible right now and read what's going on in it, dude. Like there is a... it literally says a new Earth and a new heaven will come upon us. A new heaven and a new Earth. And what does that mean? Well, if you want to take it literally, it literally means a new Earth. That means that Earth is evolving. That means that Earth is changing and we're about to go through something where we're about to be on a new type of Earth. And in the Bible it says that people are going to be like taken away. They're going to like vanish. And this guy on Twitter, Cabe, says that yeah, that's going to happen. You like people will vanish. One will be taken, one will be left.
And pretty much it's going to be everyone who... Now this is a message for all of humanity, right? So I'm not excluding anyone here, okay? Let me get through this. The people who are shifting, the people who are... that will blink away... there's like a first phase of the shift, I guess. There's like a... there's phases of the rapture. There's like America plus. And the first phase, it's going to be like people are just going to disappear. Everyone who is loving, everyone who had a kind heart, like just like internally. Like it's really about your heart. It's really about your heart. It's about your emotions. It's about your judgments. If you judge your neighbor, you are judging yourself 10 times more. And this shift in consciousness, this shift in vibration that our souls are going through, it is absolutely connected to a higher realm, right? I think so.
I think it is. What was I saying? One will be left, one will be taken. The person who is not taken right away in this next phase, the person who does not go away, they're literally going to be on an earth that's going to be like decrepit and like dead. It says in the Bible that forests will wither away, oceans will be destroyed, it says in the Bible that forests will wither away, oceans will dry up. Like everything on earth that is normal will not be good anymore. Everything on earth now will be dead. And if there is any good in the world, all the good will be gone and only like evil will remain.
This earth is going to become so dark and so deadly, it'll be almost pretty much inhabitable. What happens with the people who are left behind is they are going to have a choice. They have free will. Everyone has free will. Everyone has free will. And everyone can make their own choices. That's the beauty of life. The essence of life is free will. The true essence of life is free will. And so it's about choosing to love. Choosing to love the moment you have right now. Choosing that. And that is a really hard thing for a lot of people to take in, dude. Because when you tell someone that the only way that they're going to have a good life is if they begin to be grateful for where they are right now, no one wants to hear that. No one. Nobody wants to hear that. But within the context of the rapture and the shift, the only way you're going to be able to go to the new earth is if you start choosing to love. And I don't have all the answers for that, but it's a good thing.
I don't have to be a And the new earth, you know, this guy on Twitter, Cabe says, you know, it's going to be pretty much exactly the same that it is now. Some things will be different. Like, I think he said something like, if something was, there might be some slight differences. Like, if the statue was facing east, the statue might be facing west or some shit like that. Something like that. It's going to be slightly different, but better. And in this new earth, we evolve, our souls evolve out of duality. Our souls evolve away from the realm that allows negativity or at least the amount of negativity. Like, there's less evil within other dimensions. There's other dimensions.
And so we're going from the third dimension to the fifth. If you're asking what the fourth one is, it's my understanding that the fourth dimension is where like dreams happen. And the fifth dimension is like normal again. I don't have anything to do. I don't. I don't know, dude. This Cabe guy is wild. I freaking love reading his messages, dude. He talks about all the UFOs. He talks about how all the UFOs are the Galactic Federation crafts, and they're protecting us and they're making sure that souls are kept safe. You know, the latest thing is that there's been this whole thing on this like Malaysia Flight 370. There's been like a little pickup in the speculation of what happened to that missing flight. If you don't know anything about this random ass flight, pretty much this Malaysia flight, this Malaysia airplane vanished out of thin air and no one has heard from the passengers, from the 200 plus passengers or the dozen crew members. And this guy, Cabe, is saying that first of all, the thing was attacked. Second of all, he's really saying that this Malaysia plane was attacked by Chinese heat rays. And when it happened, the Galactic Federation came in and there's video of like these like light orbs swirling around this airplane. You can see this. You can see this on Twitter right now. And next thing you know, like the plane's gone. And he's saying that China was going to, China was experimenting with a new weapon and they were going to put it on this random flight so that they could see if they can just disintegrate people instantly. And the Galactic Federation got word of that. They knew that because I guess they know everything. I don't know. I don't know that answer, but they came in, they swooped in and they saved all the souls. They brought the souls to their origins, which could be either Earth or some other planet or some other place in space. I'm not 100% sure on that, dude. Cabe said a soul origin is like, like a soul could be from Earth or a soul could be from somewhere else. Like there are souls on planets. Like somehow, there's like a deeper understanding to souls. And that's why I mentioned this plasma book. I'm talking about this, how like there's a deeper understanding of plasma and how the matter of plasma can be connected to the matter of your soul. Like our souls are plasma. And I'm getting way too much information right now, man. Like this is a me going wild podcast because I was scared. I'm still scared to bring this up. Like I'm scared to talk about it, but I need to just bring it up because it's on my mind. It's on my heart. And the thing that gets me going about it is that my grandparents are in a generation of Christians where they, now this is coming from my grandparents, okay. When they were teenagers, when they were young adults and they were in Christian colleges and there was like a whole revival going on back in the 60s, right? A whole Christian revival, Jesus revival.
And my grandparents told me this past summer, they said that when they were in college and in Bible study, they truly believe, but they believed and still believe that they are, that they will be the elders, the elder generation within the rapture. That was something that they legitimately spoke about, okay. And that was just their, coming from their readings of their Bible, of their studies, you know, there, I don't think there was any other connection to, I don't think anyone else back then was talking about aliens and stuff like that, but they really believed that the rapture would happen in their lifetime. Like in their, my grandparents believe in their lifetime the rapture is happening and they believe it now. They believe it right now. I mean, they believe it now. They believe it now. They believe it right now. And I'm beginning to believe it. Like I'm beginning to believe that this is all real and I don't have any control over it. Like I don't, I'm not, I will not judge you if you do not believe in this. I'm just like scrolling through and I'm reading and I'm just like, I'm like, I'm at a point where I'm like, damn, like is this shit real? Are we about to shift? Are we really, is a new earth really about to happen? And then I get a little worried. Like, Oh God, like, Oh God, like, I hope everyone, I hope everyone that I love is going to be there. I hope, I hope Shannon will be there. I hope my mom will be there. I hope, I hope Wyatt will be there.
I hope my dogs are there. Oh, another thing Cabe said, dogs have souls. Dogs are alive. If you have a dead dog, your dog will remember you. Happy thoughts, happy thoughts, happy world. Like that's, that's the other thing too. Like it, it almost seems too perfect. It almost seems way too perfect. Here's the other thing. Here's why it seems too perfect too. Another point in the Bible, in the rapture, within the new earth, during the rapture, it says the dead will rise. And that's where people are like, Oh yeah, dude, Bible has zombies dog, zombies in the Bible, bro. And, and from one perspective, it's like, okay, yeah, the rising of the dead. Okay. The raising of the dead sounds like a zombie, but Cabe on Twitter says that everyone who was gone will return was gone will return and there will be immense celebrations. And I just, I, I, I can't fathom that. I, I don't know how that's possible. I don't understand how, why and how, like, why is it necessary that everyone comes back? Why, like in, in terms of evolution, how does it make sense that, that's that people come back to life? I thought souls and like, within this context, it seems like souls reincarnate. If souls reincarnate, are all the souls who died just waiting or did they reincarnate? And it also makes me think about my podcast. Like, am I, like, will I be able to do a podcast with George Washington? Will I be able to do a podcast with Jesus? Will I be able to do a podcast with anyone, anyone who's dead? If you could do a podcast with three people who are dead, who would you do it with? Like, why is that question a question? Why do we even think like that?
Why do we not think that a person is just dead? Why do we even speculate what we would ask Walt Disney? You know, like, why do we even do that? Does that mean that there's like an inherent belief that like we can speak to the dead or the dead aren't really dead? Like, why do we not just, like, do deer think that their fellow deer brethren are still around and that they will return one day? Like, I don't think animals think like that, dude. I feel like humans are the only ones who think like that. And it, from this perspective, from this story, from this narrative, it's as if it's always been. Within every culture and religion, there's always been an aspect of death, an aspect of reincarnation, and an understanding of the soul going somewhere, and the soul learning, and the soul gaining experiences. And maybe there's a collective to it. Maybe there's a collective soul. Maybe there's a collective consciousness, and that consciousness has evolved to a degree where everything that was can begin again.
But better. And to get to the very end of this, we're evolving away from evil. The Christians, you know, the misinterpretation is that everyone's gonna die. The real interpretation in this narrative is everyone is going to live. And that's, and that is a radical thought. And that's, and that is a radical thing. That's super, that's super radical. So what happens if I believe this? Am I, am I a kook? Am I crazy? Am I something, am I uneducated? Am I naive? Am I dumb? And if I don't believe it, am I arrogant? Am I unwise? Am I close-minded? You know, we're just going through impossible things, man. We're going through impossible things.
Anyway, I hope I didn't bore you with that. What do we got now, folks? Yeah, I hope I didn't bore you with that because that's really like what I have this week. I have my family and I have aliens on Twitter. That's what I got, dude. That's my value. And with that, folks, we are going to be heading on into the boost, ladies and gentlemen. America Plus is a value for value show. That means that I put my heart and soul into this thing and I try to bring interesting information, interesting narratives, innovative narratives that get you thinking. And hopefully I'm like carving out the rabbit hole for you to fall down into. I want to focus on some boosts. So the boostograms, the value for value, what that is.
I put effort. You're able to put value on the show. You choose the value of the show. And I got a couple people here from last week, number 97, incentives. I was talking about just some incentives that I have about just listening to the show. Why are you listening to the show? I talked about my movie, Magic Mushroom Fun Time, coming out Christmas day of 2023. And I got a couple of supporters who wanted to send in some treasure here. There's three main ways that you can support the show. It's time, talent, and treasure. Time being just listening to me and just listening to these things, like trying to evaluate if I'm in a right head space, trying to see if I'm crazy or not, and just engaging with the video. If you're watching the video, like, subscribe, whatever way that you can engage with the content in front of you. That's your time.
So thank you for engaging with your time. Talent. Now, this is a new thing. The talent thing, I am giving up my talents. I am sharing my talents with another podcaster named Kyron Down. You know, we haven't talked if I'm allowed to say this, but I will be a voice on his podcast this week. I'm super excited. Kyron sent me some things to read. I'm going to be doing, I'll be a reader for his podcast. And that's my talent that I'm sharing with him. And you're able to share your talents with me. If you have more information about Pleiadians, you can, like, that's your talent. Share that with me, please. I'm interested in that. If you have any information regarding any subjects that I discussed, that is your talent. That is the value you can bring if you so choose.
Please bring that. If you have any interesting topics or books to share with me, please share those with me because that is value. That is valuable to me. And then the last thing, the most important thing in what I'm reading right now is the treasure. Treasure is money. My favorite money is Bitcoin. You can download the Fountain app if you want to send Bitcoin to me. Go to value for value dot info for more info, then download the fountain dot FM app. It's the best way to support the show. This whole thing, this whole system is called value for value and pretty much Fountain is one app of many that allows you to use a new payment system. A new payment system to send money to people instantly around the world for extremely little fees. And that payment system is Bitcoin. You're able to send me small bits of Bitcoin called Satoshis. And I got a couple of people who sent me Satoshis this past week. I'm going from the lowest to the highest. This is the community, folks. If you want to be a part of the community, if you want to be cool, download Fountain, send Bitcoin to podcasters. This is so innovative. You can even do it with musicians.
You can also send Bitcoin to musicians. It's going everywhere and I'm bringing it forward to cinema. But we're still in the podcasting. This first one comes from Joel W. He sends in a satchel of Richards, 1111 sats. He says, okay, and I was talking about AI generated art. He says AI generated art just cannot do hands for whatever reason. They always look deformed in one way or another. The rise of the machines is the least of our worries. Yes, Joel. Boost. Joel, I agree with you. I'm so not afraid of the machines. I was trying to tell that to my sisters and my sister brought up the story of, she was like, I was talking to Eric and Eric told me this really crazy story of these two AI robots in Japan and they were talking to each other and they all of a sudden they just started talking in their own language and then the people had to shut them off. And then my response was, so they shut them off? Literally? All we got to do is shut it down? Sounds pretty simple, dude.
Oh, and then Joel W. sends in this comment. So he sent in, last week he sent in a funny number, 1840. And I asked him what that number was. I didn't understand what it was. And now he's saying that the 1840 was the sat, the Satoshi equivalent of my first Twitter payout. So Joel, thank you one more time. Thank you so much for that, man. Yeah, I got paid off from Twitter. Didn't get any money this week from Twitter, sadly, but it's cool, man. I just continue to build that up and just learning my way. That's like the main social media. It's the main centralized social media that I'm leaning into. I think it's a smart move, hopefully. Just trying to, just trying to pay the bills, you know? I'll get more. I'll get more. I know that. And then this last one comes from at Mere Mortals podcast from Kyron Down. So this podcast comes out on Wednesdays. You're going to be hearing my voice on the Mere Mortals podcast on Wednesday. And Kyron sends in a lovely row of ducks. He sends in 2,222 Sats. He says, I would say double down on finding ways to collaborate with value for value. For example, I'm looking to incorporate someone who has a good voice to read some quotes for me on the book reviews. Then I'd put them in as split or value time splits. Also lean into conversations. They're hard work, but you've got a talent for them, Cole. And I tune into you because I think you have a great mix of enthusiasm and creativity that I personally lack.
Kyron, I'm going to comment on that later and want to be there from the very beginning and see what you do with it. Kyron, thank you very much, sir. And now, as the French say, it is time for the boost. It's basically you put Bitcoin with anything and all of a sudden that is more efficient. Kyron, I never want to hear you say you lack anything ever again, my guy. Kyron, what are you saying? You don't, you lack enthusiasm and creativity. I don't know, dude. Aren't you the one who's like leaning into live streaming your podcasts and getting people to like, aren't you, what creativity are you lacking, Kyron? Last time I checked, dude, you're helping me make a movie.
Last time I checked, you're like innovating yourself, my friend. So don't doubt yourself, dude. Like you have enthusiasm. You're enthusiastic about value for value. You're enthusiastic about Bitcoin. You're enthusiastic about finding a good life. Like my guy, my friend. Like maybe this is just like an in the moment thing, but I vehemently disagree with you, Kyron. You do not lack anything. You lack nothing. There is only everything to gain. Okay. You understand that? But yeah, thank you for that, Kyron. I'm going to be honest with you, I'm going to be honest with you, Kyron. I really appreciate that. Yeah. I'm leaning into that. I'm leaning into the more conversations. I'm getting a list together. I'm getting a rough list of people to interview and to schedule. A good range of people actually. I don't want to spoil anything yet, but you know, I'm putting all my energy into the movie and then I'm doing the interviews or then I'll be like producing more interviews. So I'm excited for that. Like it's happening. Like that's something I can really just, that's a real promise that I have. Like it's just going to get better and better and better, man. These conversations. And I want to talk to people about the rapture. Maybe I need to talk to more Bible people about the rapture. I want to talk to this cave individual.
I'm not sure if he would be willing to even talk to me about this, but I want to talk more about these things, these subjects, these really far out there things that might seem connected to a better world and to a better understanding of life and everything around us, man. Like it just seems beautiful. And thank you for everyone who sent in that value. Like that's value for value right there. The value for value time splits is a huge deal. The value for value splits is the real innovation of this payment system, of this ecosystem. When it comes to my movie, I'm giving everybody a split of the money that comes in for the movie. Okay. On top of that, I'll be putting everyone who helped make my movie on the podcast and giving them a split on that podcast's episode.
So essentially there each person on my team will have two pieces of content that they will be able to gain money from instantly. And that's going to expand to the artists and it's expanding to teams of musicians. And I'm trying to do it for movies, man. Like that's the real thing. Value for value. Favor for favor. That's my dog. Those are my dogs, if you can hear them. They're insane. What else do I got here? I don't think I have too much else guys. I just want to talk about that value. Thank you for listening to me ramble about the Palladiums because I really just needed to get that off my chest. Like it was going to be one of those things where I could just sit here and keep it in my heart and believe it to be true, or I can try to release it out into the universe and figure out where the bullshit is. So please chime in if you think it's crazy. Chime in if you think I'm nuts or if you think I'm super naive. Like this is, we're really trying to figure things out, man. I want the answers. I want the answers to a better world.
And I want to have a more level spirit. I want to have a more level heads, a headset, a more, a more balanced emotional spiritual life, man. That's what I'm looking for. I see hope in that. I see hope in that, man. In terms of better systems, you know, I think we're getting there. Anything else? Anything else? Am I forgetting anything else? I don't think so, guys. I go in tomorrow. I got an early flight tomorrow, so I should probably turn this off. I've been talking for an hour. I've got to wake up at four, dog. We'll see how that goes. But yeah, thank you for tuning into the podcast. Value for Value is the system, is the model of the future for independent artists. I'm a podcaster making movies and I'm just here, I'm just here vibing y'all. So tune in next week. That's the perfect, that's saved by the bell, guys. Thank you so much for listening. That's America Plus, bitch. Stay free.
