Speaker 1 (0s): Hey, Hey guys. It's me. It's George. Don't look over here to look forward. Don't look back on my remember right behind you. I am tripping my balls off right now. Can you hear me now? Can you hear me now? Okay. Now we're going to do today. You guys want to know what we're going to do. We're going to start off with a quick story. I tell you guys story. Wonder why he's whispering. I'm whispering because I don't want people to hear you don't want people to hear your podcast.
That's an odd duck in here, but what the hell is this guy even talking about? Who is this guy? Nobody, I'm a boxcar gender wise and straight razor. If you get too close to me, Weird way to introduce this podcast, right? Right. Let me tell you something that ever tell you this story about when I was on the train,
Speaker 0 (1m 22s):
Speaker 1 (1m 25s): On a warm summer's evening on a train bound for nowhere. I met up with the gambler. We were both too tired to sleep. So we took turns of staring at the window at the dark boredom lit overtook us and he began to speak. He said, son, I have made a life out of reading people's faces and knowing what the cards will, by the way they held their eyes.
So if you don't mind me saying, I can see that you are out of ACEs for a taste of your whiskey. I'll give you some advice. So I handed him my bottle. He drank down my last swallow, continued bummed a cigarette and asked me for a light.
Speaker 0 (2m 13s): And then
Speaker 1 (2m 15s): The night it got definitely quiet in his face, lost all expression. He said, if you're gonna play the game son, you got to learn to play it, right? You gotta know when to hold 'em and know when to fold them. You gotta know when to walk away when window run and window run. How's that for a little intro? Are you guys enjoying
Speaker 0 (2m 41s): The spotlight on the loss of food? Cause we're still on Terence McKenna.
Speaker 1 (2m 49s): I love this guy. The more in depth analysis, the deeper we go into the mind of McKenna, the better we will all be. However it's imperative to leave yourself a trail of breadcrumbs. So you don't get lost. Number old Hansel and Gretel got to find our way back out. We have to find our way out so that when we see our brothers and sisters who get lost, we can reach back, hold their hand and walk them back out.
Some of us are strong. Some of us got to know when to hold them when to fold them. And when to walk away, I am having a blast. You guys, I really am. And I, I can't even tell you how beautiful and amazing I think you are. Thank you so much for just taking a moment to hang out with big George over here. You make me feel like the King of the world. I hope I make you feel like the King of the world or the queen of the world, because wherever you are, let me tell you what I know.
However you think in wherever you are, life is what you make it. You choose to feel how you want to feel it. Field a little bit down, do this, just close your eyes, take in a deep breath and force yourself to smile and be like, you know what? My life might not be that good right now, but at least I'm handsome. My laugh might be, might be tricky, but at least I'm beautiful. There's people that love me. You're like, no, I don't know if there is George.
Yes, there is. Yes, there is. There's me. I love you. I love you. All right. How about enough of my meanderi
