On this edition of the show

Apotheosis

You know what that is

plus the brother's grim and

Mother Goose

How does it all tie together?

We'll see and

By the way, if I have time

I might just go ahead and debut a new short segment on this particular episode

Um, I like to keep things positive as you probably know. However

It might be nice to get a little steam off once in a while

So I think I might introduce a new segment called things that suck

But let's go with apotheosis, shall we?

When I was a kid

My family took us on our first

Family vacation to Washington DC the capital of the USA and

Since then I've been back many times throughout my life, but it was certainly an oppressive introduction

to our nation's capital and

A lot stood out in my mind, but

One thing that definitely stood out was our trip to

The capital building and when you go to the US capital building there in DC

You walk at one point

underneath the uh the big dome

in the rotunda and if you

Crane your neck back and you look straight up

You see a glorious painting way up there a fresco

It's 180 feet

Above the rotunda floor. That's 55 meters

And the figures that are painted are up to 15 feet tall

That is 4.6 meters

So they're very visible from the floor far below

This dome was completed in 1863

By a Greek Italian artist named Constantino Grumidi

and

The thing that's

Sort of astounding about it is that well by the way, this is always kind of interesting

He was paid $40,000 to do this job and

Let's see that would be $841,304 in today's money

But this guy this artist he had worked for three years in the Vatican

He had served several aristocrats as an artist for palaces and fillers

Um, he had you know quite obviously an amazing background

Which is why he got hired to do this

But here's what you see if you've never actually

Looked into this or been to DC or whatever

This painting depicts George Washington

And he's sitting there

Among the heavens swirling all around him and an exalted

manner

more or less

Becoming a god-like being now of course George Washington was the first US president

And commander-in-chief of the continental army during the American Revolutionary War

So when you look up he is sitting there

Draped in purple which was worn by generals of the ancient Roman Republic when during their triumphs

There's a sort of a rainbow arch at his feet and he's flanked by

goddesses

and

And various figures from

Classical pathology

I won't go into all the little details because

You know, it would take me a lot of time to do that and you can go and look this up for yourself if you're interested

But he's sitting up there looking very much like you know sort of a god-like being

I'm actually looking at a close-up of it right now and uh

Yeah, it's it's impressive. This is called this painting. It's called the apotheosis

of

Washington

And as I stood there staring at this and thinking about it

And I've always been a big fan of American history fascinated by all of it

um actually have a

I guess it's a death mask

Maybe it's a life mask. I don't recall if it's a life mask or a death mask

Of George Washington hanging on one of my walls and um

I had never heard this word apotheosis before that was the very first time

Do you know what apotheosis means?

well

apotheosis refers to the highest point of development

culmination

Perfect example the elevation of a person to divine status or

deification

So what we're talking about here is the glorification of a subject

to divine levels and the treatment of a human being or any other living thing

or an abstract idea in the likeness of a deity

and it's been used in art

pretty much since the beginning of time

A lot of religions

actually have this kind of imagery being used not surprisingly

And in religion apotheosis is a feature of these religions that

believe that there's a possibility of newly created gods

a polytheistic belief system

and of course you know the Abrahamic religions of Islam and Judaism don't allow for this

the many recognized minor sacred categories such as

saints and christian theology as being somewhat like that through canonization

You find it in all kinds of other you know various forms in religion, Hinduism

But yeah it shows up a lot in art

And uh so again without digging too deeply into examples of this

I think you kind of get the idea

It's fascinating to me

Because what we're really talking about here is this question

um about whether or not if

Whether or not it is possible but for a human being

Because that's just what George Washington was a human being

To become some kind of

a divine like

being and

You know it's i've always thought that maybe this is why we have this happening with our modern day

super heroes

Because well like for example

One of my favorite movies is called watchman

Um

Let's see what you're into that come out

That came out in 2009. It's based on the comic book

Actually, I guess it's more like a graphic novel

um

But anyway, so uh in in this story this epic story

There is a scientist. He's a a human

physicist or lab technician of some kind and he gets trapped

In a chamber and hit with an amazing amount of radiation

And it basically

destroys his body and then reassembles it

With all these blue lightning bolts and sparks and

after that he he gradually

starts to

appear

uh around the property

He appears firstness sort of like a circulatory system

And then he appears like a few days later with muscles and then and then eventually he ends up being this huge

majestic

glowing

blue

guy

Who is an example perfection with with amazing blue body parts

And he is called dr manhattan

And so dr manhattan is is now he is basically got the power to do whatever he wants

And it's it's kind of fascinating to see how that even though he has this power

He still has a lot of sort of like petty human like emotions and feelings

And he finally just gets fed up with humans all together and decides to

Teleport himself to Mars where he can live all by himself on this planet. That would be an example of apotheosis

I guess you could say that um, I mean, I don't think that superman would necessarily be apotheosis because that superman

He was already born with these powers

But maybe you have like green lantern. He was a regular man who obtained this

Magical green ring that gave him certain powers not absolute power

Or like

Maybe the flash. I think there's a story where the flash

He turns into a divine sort of being who has these godlike powers

Wolverine and the X-Men series and all that Wolverine

He was already born with some freakish abilities

But he was put into a laboratory treated with this special process where they put this metal

It goes called like adamantium or something on him and turned him

into a much more superior being you have examples of this

And maybe I'm not doing the best job of digging into it, but I started thinking about this

Is there any way that apotheosis is a literal thing

Can it be a literal thing and then I started really letting my my mind soar and it led me to

the theory of art and artists and

You'll see how that ties into

Well, things that we all find kind of interesting. I imagine

Things like the brothers Grimm and mother goose. Who do you think was around first?

Well, I'll tie all this together somehow. I always do I think

Hey, listen, it's that time of year

I'm doing spring cleaning and I have a collection of crazy amazing things like you would not believe

And I'm going to be selling some of them off

Oh

Welcome back to strange things

On the iHeartRadio and coast to coastam

Paranormal podcast network. I am your host the wizard of weird Joshua P. Warren

Beaming into your wormhole brain from my studio and send city

Las Vegas, Nevada where every day is golden and every night is silver

Gietto zoom aim

Ah

I'm a little stuffy. I shouldn't take in my allergy pill

Before the show

You know the Greek word

Well the word apotheosis it comes from

A Greek word that means

To a deify or make a god

And I was thinking about that and it's really interesting because

Soon there is a major motion picture coming out called the Odyssey

by Christopher Nolan and

It is based on

an epic poem

That was written by

An ancient Greek writer named Homer

And Homer wrote that

About 2700 to 2800 years ago

And think about that the idea that there was some

Guy heading to not it not a superhero not a not a superhuman

Just a man who could write

Who wrote this story 2700 2800 years ago

And it has been passed along all this time

To now be a major motion picture

In this era

Does that seem like maybe a form of apotheosis that

I don't know if somebody like even as great as George Washington could literally be elevated up and then

Transform into a divine being and even if he could be he then he probably wouldn't be like a human anymore

Who knows what he would be like

But so it's so it's kind of paradoxical to think about it that way, but if you look at it more realistically

Humans do create art

That can live on

insane amounts of time

And affect the world in profound ways

I mean just look for example at say

The the old composers like Beethoven or Mozart

Well

They would be

totally forgotten

If they weren't great composers and yet today we listen to their music all the time and I believe it was Beethoven that said the point of

Music is to put the listener into the mind of the composer

And do you see what I mean it almost seems like that

Whatever your form of art is if you are a successful artist

That maybe that is a wave in which apotheosis can actually exist

It's some form of immortality and I mean you think about things that have influenced most of you listening to the

Show right now

Like for example

The stories and the rhymes from mother goose

Or the brother's grim

Now I'm assuming that

Just about everybody has heard at least one story from these old collections of stories the mother goose tales

And brother's grim

But what do you think came first who is first

Mother goose or brother's grim I bet most people have no idea

Well, it was by far

Mother goose

Mother goose

Is this

It's a she's a fictional character. She's a mythical art type of figure

Behind traditional English nursery rhymes and fairy tales

Often depicted as an elderly woman

Or some kind of a bird like an anthropomorphized bird

And that she has you know, she originated as a folktale figure

But the first person to really write down the mother goose tales

Was a French author

named Charles Peralt

And he published the mother goose tales

Let's see they believe those tales go back to

Oh

My gosh, it's something something crazy the 1600s

Let's see

What exactly what year

Was mother goose published

I know I looked this up, but you know, I have too many facts in front of me

So it was first published

In 1697 by this French author

And I believe he didn't even start writing this kind of stuff until he was in his sixties

Um interesting story behind that guy, but I don't have time to tell everybody's everybody's story

You know to me in a podcast one of the cool things is I can just sort of like plant ideas in your head

And if you find something that's interesting to you, well now you can just jump on the internet and do your own research

Brothers Grimm did not start publishing until the 1800s

And I'll see mother goose

Was again a fictional character

And so mother goose

Um

She was telling stories all the time

Uh two kids and nursery rhymes and so

Um

The brothers Grimm they came along and let's see they started publishing these Grimm's tales

I think they published their first tales

And uh

Oh gosh again, let's see I get

When were the first brothers

Grimm tells published

So

I thought you just love being able to look up Randall stuff like that. Oh my goodness. It says 1812

1812 so it was a long time afterward

And you know the brothers Grimm

They were um, they're fascinating guys Jacob and Wilhelm they were German academics

cultural researchers

And uh when they started publishing their tales in 1812

They were just trying to preserve a lot of German oral traditions

The many tales were a broader European origin

And what I didn't realize also when I started looking into this

Is that a lot of the stories that were mother goose tales

were actually

Used pretty directly by

The brothers Grimm but the brothers Grimm will do a different version of it

So like for example in the classic fairy tales the mother goose stories. We have story of a Cinderella

We have sleeping beauty in the wood

We have little red riding hood

We have puss and boots

um

And

The brothers Grimm also wrote their own versions of these types of stories as well

um

They did their versions

Of uh

Those same things of Cinderella of little red riding hood

But you know again, there are differences like in one version

The story ends with the wolf eating the girl and in another version the Huntsman

saves

Everybody and so you just don't know exactly how it's going to end

But

What you find is that you know the brothers Grimm they had more of um

More of a tendency to retell those mother goose stories

With you know a darker spin. I mean some of them use the stories that are unique to the brothers Grimm

Were rumpel stiltskin. That's a creepy one

The musicians of Bremen the frog king

So

But the brothers Grimm they didn't really do nursery rhymes at all and

You know here's one of my favorite mother goose nursery rhymes

Let me see here. I'll give you some examples of of mother goose nursery rhymes

Because I doubt you've ever heard of this one and for some reason I remember it

So um some of her famous rhymes

Uh, let's see Humpty dumpty

Hay dittle dittle the cat in the fiddle

Tickery dickery doc

Bob-Bob black sheep

Jack and Jill went up the hill little bow peep

Mary-Mary quite contrary twinkle twinkle little star

But

Have you heard this one?

It's called robin the bobbin the big belly bin

Robin the bobbin the big belly bin

He ate more meat than four-score men

He ate a cow he ate a calf he ate a butcher and a half

He ate a church. He ate a steeple. He ate the priest and all the people

A cow in the calf and oxen to half a church and a steeple and all the good people and yet he complained that a stomach

Was not full

Says uh four-score there

You know what that means you know Abraham Lincoln in the Gettysburg address

He said four-score and seven years ago four-score is 80 years

So four-score and seven years will be 87 years ago

Well, look these are things that I believe uh have become it an immortal

Subject matter at least in terms of the human experience

Before we go to this break though

I want to ask you going back to the Greek stuff

If you can come up with the answer to this famous riddle it's called the riddle of the Sphinx

What walks on four legs in the morning

two in the afternoon and three in the evening

This is a famous one

The riddle of the Sphinx

Think about it. What walks on four legs in the morning two of the afternoon in three in the evening

And Greek mythology if you did not get that right

You you were in big big trouble

I'll explain that and I may even get into things that suck

Listen to betrayal season five on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts

You

Welcome back to strange things on the iHeartRadio app coast to coast a m

Paranormal podcast network

I'm your host Joshua P. Warren and this is the show where the unusual becomes

Usual

Yes, the riddle

of the Sphinx

In Greek mythology

This

monster called the Sphinx

a monster that had a woman's head

a lion's body and eagle's wings

guarded the entrance to a city called febes

And if he wanted to get in she would pose this riddle to every traveler who wished to pass

And those who could not answer correctly were immediately strangled and eaten

And that was that happened to countless people for many many years

But then finally the hero comes along edipus

And I know it looks like odipus, but I think it's edipus

If only Alex Trebek were still around he that he knew how to pronounce everything. I'm gonna say edipus

edipus was the first to solve the riddle

And upon

To solve the riddle and upon hearing the correct answer this Sphinx was so distraught that she killed herself by throwing herself from a cliff or end to the sea

As a reward for freeing the city edipus was making of thieves

Well, I won't tell you the rest of that story because this is a family friendly show, but edipus goes on

To do some things that are highly frowned upon

Here's the answer to the riddle though

What walks on four legs in the morning two in the afternoon and three in the evening the answer is

man

Could just be a human being but basically man because it represents the three stages of a person's life

The morning which is infancy when a baby crawls on all fours

Afternoon which is maturity when that an adult walks upright on two legs and then evening old age when an elderly person uses a cane or a walking stick

Which which acts as a third leg

Haha

So anyway that they now you can you can ask your friends

If they can solve the riddle of the Sphinx see how many of them know that one

Uh, all right, let's

What do you say we throughout this new segment called

Things that suck

I don't know if you're gonna like this or not, but let me just you know, I am not

Again, I try to keep this show positive

And uh, if I am um

I'm not just trying to be a grumpy old man

A lot of people listen to this show and I'm very fortunate

And so sometimes I figure it maybe it's okay

For me to uh

Give my opinion on some things that I believe should change

Because there are a lot of young people who listen to this show

And they had they they don't think about things the same way that some of us folks do who are a little bit older

Maybe they need some advice

So I'm trying to make the world a slightly better place

By just airing some complaints and I promise I'll only do this once in a while

So we'll see how you like this. Okay, first on my list of things that suck

Unions on salads

Now I

I actually like onions, but they don't belong on a salad in my opinion

I'm sick of people putting onions on a salad. A lot of people don't even know how to make a good salad anymore

In my opinion, I don't know if I make make a salad at a salad bar and they're hard to find

You got your lettuce

You got your uh, you got your cheese you got your cucumbers you got your bacon bits

You got some uh some eggs in there um

You know, I'm talking like a nice chef salad

Some people you know sometimes you order a salad they bring you like a wedge of lettuce and with the cherry tomato

Or something it's just like that's not what I'm talking about. I mean like a good chef salad hard to find

But they ruined it

When they put the onions in there

So in my opinion and maybe it's just because you know, I'm an old red neck from western North Carolina

I just think that

People need to stop putting onions on salads because I don't remember that being the case when I was growing up

You know what? I'll just throw this in here when it comes to a culinary stuff as well

I've been talking a lot about food lately robin the bob and the big belly'd been um

I guess it's because like I say I'm always I'm always trying to eat healthier and lose weight and all that

I was watching 60 minutes one time

And they interviewed this guy and

Italy who is supposed to be like they say that he's one more awards and then he's like the top chef in the world

And so the reporter I think it was Leslie Stahl asked him

Well, what's an example of the best thing

To to eat like the most delicious thing and he goes ah that's easy. Let me share with you the tastiest thing in the world

So he goes and he gets

One of these little cherry tomatoes and I for some reason I want to say it was green. I'm not a hundred percent sure

But he I think he sliced it in half. It's been a while since I've seen this

And then he takes some fine Italian

Balsamic vinegar

And he drizzles that over it and he says now taste that

And and she tasted and he's just sitting there with baited breath and he's like

Yeah

Then I ride around and she's like oh yeah, yeah, that's really good

And so um

This he was using some balsamic vinegar that was like very expensive like like this bottle cost $200 or something

But I was like fine. I gotta try this out

I'm a sucker for a lot of stuff. I guess

so I

So I buy this expensive

Balsamic vinegar and I pour it on like one of these little tomatoes and I eat it and

Let me tell you it is pretty dead gum good

But I've done it since then with like the regular stuff you can buy at the grocery store

You don't have to spend a fortune on

But that I thought that was interesting. I would share that tidbit with you

also

I got to meet one of the top chefs here in Las Vegas a few years ago. I was actually invited to be a guest on

One of these like YouTube channels that's food and travel

So here I was sitting in this fancy restaurant at this five-star hotel. They were a high flute and hotel

I mean big enough for that's related Gaga hangs out and performs and everything

and

Actually, I guess it was like I'll just say it. I guess it was park mgm or something

So anyway, I we got to sit down on camera and this chef was giving me

His finest dishes and everything was exquisite. It was all fantastic

But so at some point I chime in here and I said to this chef. So let me ask you this

If you were stranded on a desert island and

You could only have a few items to season your food

To perfection like what would it be? What what would be the secret ingredients?

And he just looks at me for a second. He said oh just salt and pepper

and

I have a cabinet with about

50 seasonings in it

And I I don't I love seasonings and sauces and I could just

I can dress up anything with seasonings and sauces

But I guess like he's right. I mean if you just if you're on a desert island a desert island and you could just have two things

good old fashioned salt and pepper

Second thing that sucks is pop-ups on websites if you put a pop-up on your website

I may never visit your site again. Okay, that's pop-ups should be a thing of the past

So I don't care. I if I go to website and I'm about to check out your subject matter and boom

There's a pop-up. Please subscribe to it

I'm immediately angry. So no pop-ups of any kind

the last thing that I'll include here is

Long youtube videos. I know if you're a youtuber that's the thing to do because you get paid

To make a long video because you get paid

more the longer people watch it

I so I get it but

It sucks in my opinion most of the time not all the time

Maybe I'm just too busy of a guy

But I prefer to go to a watch a video if I just need some basic information

You know, I prefer to watch a video that's

You know no more than a few minutes long. I'm much more attracted to that now trust me

I'm a guy who has put out some pretty long videos

So it's almost like do as I say not as I do but I just think it depends on the context

But most of the time if you're just sitting around there looking at youtube content

Please keep it at 10 minutes if you can no more than 10 but

3 to 5 is golden

So that's it. That's all I have to gripe about

For now you let me know if you if you like actually I tell you what

Um

When it comes to experiences that I've had here in Vegas

I don't think that I've brought this up on the show before but I just think it's kind of a

a funny story

And when we come back for this break

I'll tell it to you I was standing in line at a drugstore here

Not too long ago

And uh something happened that kind of ticked everybody off

But it has sort of an unexpected ending

Uh, I guess I don't know mental mana, all right

Also, I believe that I may have time to get into some listener emails

We'll see what some of your latest thoughts are and

You do I don't know if you're old enough do you remember these movies that used to star this

This famous dog called Rin Tin Tin

You know kind of like he wasn't I guess his famous is lassie necessarily at least in terms of today's pop culture

But Rin Tin Tin was a very famous dog movie star and uh just recently

Lauren she goes listen to this I I looked up why he was called Rin Tin Tin

And it actually has kind of a strange

supernatural origin

Well, hopefully I can get into that as well when we come back

Listen to Patriol season five on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts

You

Welcome back to the final segment of this edition of strange things

All the iHeart radio and coast to coast a m

Paranormal podcast network. I'm your host Joshua P Warren

And yes, I was recently standing in line at the pharmacy at

At a pharmacy. I don't want to use any names

and uh, I was the fifth person in line

And the guy at the front of the line he was probably like a 60-year-old man wearing a ball cap

We're all being very patient as usual

And then when the person who's actually at the window walks away

There's this old lady

All hunched over with long stringy hair

and

She

clearly sees that there's a line of five people there and

she just walks right up in front of the guy

And in front of everybody in the line and she walks up to the window and then turns around and says

Thank you

And so the guy who is at the front of the line and we've all been waiting for a long time

He turns around and looks at us with and and we're like what the hell

So but you know what you're gonna do

so

This woman this old lady she she says

I was something a few words to the the pharmacist there at the window and apparently her prescription

Wasn't ready or something like that

So then she turns around to the guy at the front of the line and

This old crone says

Thanks for nothing

And then storms off like it was his fault somehow

You I mean I don't know, man. I see I'm getting too old

I don't understand

Even though she's a lot she was a lot older than me

I don't understand how the world works anymore it reminds me the time I was

Standing in line and I there this guy was talking too loud on his cell phone

And he was saying to his friend

It wasn't a crime of passion. I have known her for 20 years

Yeah, you

I bet I bet all of you have stories like that you could tell

Anyway

Here's the thing about like

I didn't know about rin 1010

The name rin 1010 originates from world war one era France

It comes from a popular French good luck charm

small knitted or fabric dolls or puppets

Which French children and sometimes women made and gave to allied soldiers

Particularly Americans as tokens of good fortune and protection during the war

And these are lucky figures a lot of times it was a pair of them known as Nanette

And rin 1010 I believe

Um

But anyway, it was these little you know

These little

Good luck charms were so prominent that in 1918 this American soldier named Lee Duncan

rescued a litter of German shepherd puppies from a bombed out kennel in France near the end of the war

He kept two pups and named the male rin 1010

And the female Nanette after the symbolic good luck charms

Seeing them as emblems of his own fortune amid the war's devastation

And that original dog became the famous Hollywood star of silent films of the 1920s

Nick named Rinti

launching a long legacy of rin 1010 dogs in movies

The name itself does not appear to have a deeper literal translation

But it's in Anamatapea or a playful repetition

Possibly evoking the sound of a bell

1010

mimicking a chime in French like ding ding which added to its cute memorable appeal as a charm

name

So I was like what do these look like and they kind of look like

cute little raggedy voodoo dolls and again, they're usually soldered pairs

And uh, I'd never heard of that before but Lauren shared that with me and so

I guess I need to get me some rin 1010

good luck

charm dogs and and or dolls and and play with them and see

See what happens. Let me know if you have some of those and what your experience has been that's that's cool

Maybe somebody listening in France will send me some

some rin 1010 and Nanette

Good luck dolls

All right, let's see if we can squeeze in

Some listener emails. I keep getting so many of these emails

about the

Stealth portable handheld typhoon that we have right now

On uh, in my curiosity shop

This is a manifestation device that you carry with you in your pocket

Uh, Dr. Mulder is still making them but the price is gonna go up soon. Here's one uh email. I got

Uh, hey Joshua. I don't want to use his name, but I think he'd be okay with it

But anyway, he says um

I got my first stealth typophone a few days ago and started using it for driving

And green traffic lights with great results

I went to a local hiking area overlooking the city at night to rehearse a few songs

I do with my drum around 10 30 pm

There was a few people

I didn't have the spot to myself

So I held my device and pressed the button and kindly asked to make the others go elsewhere

So I could have personal time

I lay enough a few minutes later they left without a sound

I looked and I thought wow that's cool

L.O.L. I'm not repelling humans with this mind you

I'm still learning this thing and had quite a good time playing my drum and seeing it out loud at night

Sitting above the lights of tympa, Arizona

The insides of this thing are well made and I was wondering if it creates a bubble of energy around you

Or like a radius of a certain length. I hope I explained that right. I love what you do man. Anjia Tato Zume

Well, thank you

And you know what heck I'm just gonna give his name's Aaron Aaron. Thank you

um, and

You know

I don't know if it creates a bubble or just you know I I kind of envision it as just sort of shooting out

A beam of of light that sends ripples around it because it does have an infrared light

But I don't know exactly

um

There may be ways to experiment with it though and find out

I know some people who've been having a heck of a lot of success drawing down UFOs with it

Well, and but a lot of people just use it for the simplest daily stuff

Here is another email that I got

And it says

Tepephone pizza test was a success

Uh, and the guy sent this to me says the past two days

I ordered pizza from any game in the name of the restaurant, but I won't bring I ordered pizza from this place where pizza is never consistent

I did it once at 8 p.m. yesterday and then at 11.30 this morning

Best

pizzas I've ever had from this place

I held that button down during the entire order

I ate the whole pizza last night

And uh, and now I was it wasn't just how it looked it's how it tasted even more

I'll be doing this for the next five days at different times a day

So I never have the same person making the same pizza

If it's already worked in uh, it's already worked. I'm in for a great week of pizza

I think ordering pizza is a good test

Because I'm not in control of anything, but the order and time of order

I'll try it with a crappier place or some restaurant that's not always good

Um, normally whenever I order a pizza there's maybe two slices that look edible not in the past two days

I attached the photo and sure enough

I have a photo of the pizza and I am familiar with the guy who wrote this and when I say

He is picky about his pizza that is no

Uh, overstatement

Yeah

Um, overstatement or understatement. I'm not sure. It's just it's one of those things. It's true

Uh, anyway

Thank you for that message. You know, that's a thing. It's like, I don't know. It's

You put it in your pocket and you can use it for

For whatever you want and um

So I'm gonna try that the next time I order a pizza as well

Thank you for sending me these emails though guys. It really means a lot to me to get these reports coming in and

You know, like I say if you go to the curiosity shop, you don't have to buy anything just take a look and

Maybe you'll get some ideas. There are things that you can also just uh make for yourself

Um, there are things you can do for free

I have all kinds of free content out there all over my website

But one one thing that we all get to do for free because you listen to this show

Is we all get to usually not always because I don't always do it, but we get to end the show

by taking time to

Use our collective consciousness and reach out through the ether

To every everybody listening mentally and try to think about all of us having the best

Next week ever and I know you can't have that all the time

But maybe you can more often if we all sort of take a deep breaths

If you can close your eyes and let us focus together on the good

fortune tone

You
