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

Listen to Patriol season 5 on the iHeartRadio app apple podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts
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
That's it
