somebody I’m a huge fan of kush no ketchup once again dude welcome back to the show I say welcome back because you were on the chinois podcast in the past so indeed well I really gotta appreciate that shout out man for real well hey man you know what I what I said I I really meant it what I like about your content um I don’t know I think what you said last time is that you shoot on an iPhone which is I’ve always found surprising because the quality of your videos like I always feel like I’m just dropped into your life at whatever moment it’s at and I like your videos because of that because it’s you do do some Cuts but for the most part it seems like you you set a shot you sit down you review your strain and I I don’t know there’s something so uh real about how you shoot your content and so I just wanted to tell you that like that’s a reason why I love your content it seems like there’s this format on YouTube where it’s like hey y’all how’s it going it look no disrespect to people that do this like they’re really good content creators like that you know what I mean but you just have your own format and I wanted to let you know that that’s what I like about you that means a lot especially as a Creator dude because I like you just kind of mentioned I I recognized a certain theme that had been occurring in uh certain cannabis content content creators that were already like popping by the time that I even just started watching this sort of content on YouTube um I definitely have to give a shout out to custom grow 420 uh he was the very first um like a actual weedtuber that I saw consuming product on YouTube to me uh it was literally revolutionary to see someone um recording themselves using cannabis and posting it online um he definitely had that certain hey you know even kind of went viral for his like intro um and I simultaneously you know had a disdain but also an admiration for this dude’s uh courage to just throw him uh throw himself out there with his pretty out of this world personality and I’ve definitely uh goodness gracious I can I can be a little bit of a wild child myself but I really appreciate you just noticing uh kind of like the structure of uh how I try to film and how I try to edit where I um I really want to get better at it I really want to just continue advancing the actual production quality of uh the videos that I’m making and I that’s a that’s a real goal for myself moving forward here in 2024 because uh I am finally looking to upgrade from the iPhone and uh started taking the visuals to a new level not change you know anything else but uh I can’t wait to uh start filming in 4k you know something like that even just just simple just to up the quality but I really appreciate you noticing how I tried to format it because uh you really do wonder if anybody does yeah and I do and like I say I was actually just about to pull up a a video just a quick and easy one just to I don’t even know if it’ll I feel like it captures the vibe that I was talking about but um I’m just going to kind of play it while I’m talking here um I’m G to mute the sound here but dude the the production quality is great it’s crazy that this is on an iPhone I um I the zoom probably isn’t doing it any justice the zoom call that we’re on right now um but I just always love the feel of your videos and I know this was a specific announcement video um but but yeah it’s one of the main things I like and yeah I honestly whenever I do shoot um I very usually I do my podcast via Zoom but right now I’m running off straight iPhones bro like I’ve got this iPhone in front of me right now the screen’s [ __ ] cracked this is actually my best one this has the best uh this has better that’s what I like to see you’re being used yeah exactly this has better quality than this new [ __ ] iPhone that I got like I’m actually like kind of upset with the quality of this new iPhone there just something it’s just weird to say this old ass iPhone like I don’t know the picture just looks better U but like you I would like to upgrade to you know some 4K C cameras and all that stuff but we make definely man I just uh yeah I want to take a second to uh explain that I definitely don’t come from a uh a background of like video creation but I I I came up around a lot of people who who did and who you know who at a younger age were experimenting whether that was uh taking a a higher quality video camera you know to a hardcore show in like the you know late 2000s or uh I had you know friends I want to specifically shout out my friend uh Amanda how tattoo she’s a tattoo artist now but she came up doing uh portrait photography And in regards to just uh shot creation and I think some of those things that you did speak to um I would be ill I would be in an ill mindset to not shout her out as a uh almost an instructor in some ways of how to approach just lighting uh camera positioning and uh I think having a basis of seeing others around me you know care a little bit more about their visuals uh led into where when I started wanting to just review you know just some Illinois dispensary weed there was almost no way I could go about it a different way besides caring about that um just had to throw that out there that you know picking up little things uh about the people around me I think led to what the viewer sees on the YouTube creation we all are like little pieces of like our friends and family you know whether that’s like a personality trait or just like certain catchphrases but I from my father to Amanda and then to my dear friend Rend Smith who now dude he’s doing like music videos for like Gucci man and like shyy it’s insane like like I had all these people you know kind of hey you know take the photo like this you know sort of thing if it’s just me taking a photo of myself I’m not even talking about cannabis or something like that so it is funny seeing now uh almost getting close to five years doing the YouTube channel that yeah there’s definitely been an effect from the uh the folks who I grew up with really caring about photos originally right I was going to say the people you surround yourself with yeah that definitely you get you get you pick up on those things yeah that’s cool that’s cool to hear about and I just you know one of the main reasons I brought you on dude honestly just to kind of cut right to the chase like I hope this I hope that I communicate this correctly but because I like your content I always Bank on being able to like sometimes I’ll just if you noticed when I opened up your channel like I haven’t watched your last few videos it’s because I’m the type of person where it’s like I’ll sit down and stream them all in one stream them all in one go you know what I mean like a afternoon smoking and chilling and so I’ll like kind of like build up my different favorite content corrector uh content creators and then just kind of binge their content Netflix style and one of the I don’t remember exactly what happened and you you’re probably passed it at this point but what I realized is that in many ways sometimes I take my content creators for granted and because you’re one of my favorite ones I remember there was this thing where you got like removed from YouTube for the [ __ ] reasons that people always get removed from YouTube and remember you talking about maybe giving it up and I just that made me so sad because I was like [ __ ] dude I I took Kush no ketchup for granted like am I ever going to see another Kush no ketchup again and uh I don’t know man I like I say at this point you might be past it and obviously you’re making videos again so so you are but um yeah I wanted to reach out to you uh because I know I’ve already kind of said it in a many different ways but I wanted to say that more clearly too I was like [ __ ] dude I realized I almost took that for granted you know so I know that’s a weird thought I have trouble well I really appreciate that no dude I didn’t I didn’t think it was weird at all I uh I find that with video creation it’s GNA be it’s going to be a culmination of like balancing your own personal life with like a desire to continue just having this kind of side project this like little chore always like especially when it comes to editing it’s a chore I don’t care what anyone says if somebody tells me they enjoy editing you need you need help but the the point being that um I get such and and also uh the the only uh long felt impact from being completely demonetized on YouTube was really just um overall views where uh clearly the the videos aren’t going out as far uh as they were before about 50% reduction since getting demonetized just across the board of course that’s initially extremely frustrating especially when you’re just getting started and everything but for me there is a structure uh to recording editing and uh overall reviewing cannabis that it keeps me in line almost like uh folks who just go to the gym and aren’t trying to be like a bodybuilder they go as like a stress reliever or just something that keeps them out of trouble blah blah blah I’ve kind of keep myself you know on a straighten n with video creation so it’s one of those things where damn that really really sucks that they’ve pretty much cut my views like that but we ain’t G to stop there’s so much else that you know I value and get from the video creation that I mean at this point I’ve gotten even I’ve probably met like over like 20 fans in public at at this point And in regards to you know any any any form of like hey I need I need some some recognition that I’m making these videos blah blah blah like I’ve gotten it you know whether that’s you know through reviews or just seeing people in real life that um there’s so much more you know that I think a Creator should value um in fact no I’ll just go ahead and say if you value that as a Creator you’re doomed like you got to just enjoy making videos and I I I really do and I can’t wait to uh like I said increase the quality um increase the hardware that I Ed and just have a more ease of edit I’d like to just become even just way better at editing as you can see they are some longer takes try to cut out some of the BS but uh would like to throw some really cool visuals in there for the viewers yeah again though that’s actually what I like about your style I like that it’s not like cut I don’t know there’s a lot of people that do that but I and maybe you don’t even mean to do it and it’s just something I like I thought it was you know because you were just saying like you want to maybe try to change that but again that’s one of the things I really like about like it feels like you’re getting a raw moment like and I feel like I get to know you if that makes sense so um yeah try to be as honest as possible on camera even to just continue making the videos I I already out knew outright if I had a a forced fake personality I might make it a few videos but I wouldn’t be able to do that long term yeah yeah and that does suck that I didn’t realize that’s what it was I couldn’t remember I couldn’t remember if they took you off all the way or if it was that they demonetized you so you’re saying they demonetized you yeah yeah like everybody else you know doing cannabis um I kind of felt that I had slipped under the Raider at some point um but I think around 2,000 subscribers uh they fully demonetized me and really the only felt effects is yeah I get about half the views now but that’s all right got my subscribers and as long as they can get my content that’s all I care about yeah have you ever thought about I or maybe you do this and maybe I missed it but do you give your uh Community or your supporters any direct way of like supporting you besides like subscribing and liking your content like I’m thinking of something like a patreon or if you had like a venmo or whatever so that people can send you money I did have a patreon in the past that I since closed and it’s funny because I was about to say no and I do have a cash app I think I’ve just completely forgot to even uh post that in my description anymore so that goes to show you where I’m at in regards to the priority of receiving funds um yeah I do have a cash app I will definitely go back to posting it in the description I can’t believe I almost forgot about it yeah please do dude you know people like me and I’m sure your fans would be willing to support you not only like here go and buy an eighth with this money I want to you know like type of thing or here use this for your whatever use it for whatever or if you’re trying to get you know a new camera or something I’m sure people would be like myself I’d be happy to throw in what I can you know and I’m sure that other fans feel the same way so yeah give them an option that’s one thing I had to do like I was people kept asking me that like and it’s not like I want to be very clear I do not make I spend more on this than I make but it’s nice that people are willing to like help me out a little bit because like you know again it’s not paying for everything but it helps you know so um yeah anyways I I would hope I I would love to see yeah something like that with Kush no catchup if it’s not a patreon just some way that we could all send you money and yeah make it a part of your video dude be like hey if you like my content just because we want to support you you know what I mean we want to make sure that you’re continue to make content right because again that’s why I got real scared when I saw you make that announcement I’m like [ __ ] am I ever gonna see a Kush no catchup video again so so yeah well anyways dude you mentioned and I don’t want to get too too personal or anything but I I we I did get a lot of good feedback from our last conversation where we were pretty candid about like mental health and stuff you mentioned you know that you’re still in therapy and stuff everything good in that regard yeah yeah I see a um I see a military specific therapist um so I’m definitely in a uh a really blessed and catered uh situation uh receiving mental health therapy through the road home program it’s a uh it’s a wonderful um organization that provides uh free Therapy Care to returning veterans and their families and um yeah I’ve been a part of I’ve been with them for years and I can’t uh I can’t speak it’s it’s pretty life-changing in regards to the type of person I was you know coming home in 2013 and then here I am 2023 it’s uh it’s really all up to them and uh the resources and and support they’ve given me but yeah no therapy’s going well um it’s been something that through my close family and friends I’ve been um encouraged and supported in taking things um you know even further um in regards to really tackling um a lot of issues that I’ve found uh just to like TBI and everything that I have for my deployment uh a lot of stuff that I still don’t understand about uh signs and symptoms traumatic injy yeah yeah yeah I got rocked um on our deployment on our first mission and it was pretty um it was a pretty life-changing experience and there’s been um there there’s been a lot of um kind of like more physical side issues you know in regards to like um head pain and and stuff like that that I’m really looking to uh get some better answers on through therapy and programs like this yeah what did you I know I can Rec rerun the tape and see what you said it was called but what did you say that was called again the program you’re doing that would be the road home program Road home program the reason I asked is because my brother just got out of the service if you remember the last time we called we spoke he was just getting into the service um for sure and did did you mention that did you say he was a marine yep he was a marine yep for sure and uh you know he left with some trauma as well so the reason I ask is because I had never heard of that program I don’t know if he has and so he’s pursuing you know his own therapy that we’ve been able to find um but it’d be you know I just want him to consider all of us options you know so a thousand perc he should definitely take a look into them as uh as I previously mentioned a obviously veteran focused therapy program that’s uh you know they’ve really seen it all and um handle folks coming from every part of the world and every form of background and I think with just um knowing you’re going into a free and specialized uh form of care for a lot of guys coming home is uh reassuring so de definitely give him uh give him that info for sure and like I said previously man if you needs anything he can definitely holler at me absolutely and you know he just started consuming cannabis so I’ve I’ve recommended your content because I said you know he’s a former he’s a fellow Marine so um there you go yeah I think he might have a fan in him soon so um but but yeah uh thank you for being willing to talk about that because you know I’ve got my side of it too where it’s like I’ve dealt with now my brother and then you know my own mental health and I think it’s good to be candid about these things um and just speak about them honestly and openly and without shame because I think sometimes when people don’t talk about it that’s what keeps people from pursuing it you know what I mean they get like absolutely this is only for [ __ ] up people I don’t want to be considered [ __ ] up you know and it’s like yeah even a guy like myself I uh you know I had folks around me who had seen some really serious direct combat even in Iraq you know while I was in high school and stuff and were in charge of me in Afghanistan that I consistently you know had to battle a mindset of like well I mean I didn’t experience you know what Sergeant soand so did I I shouldn’t be going to therapy a guy like him should I mean he’s the one who you know got a silver star or did this or he you know blah blah blah where I’ll tell you this we’re in the era of uh the the the digital screens era where I think pretty much everyone almost regardless of your occupation now you’re staring at a screen solid portion of your day um I’m not going to sit here and claim to be a health expert on the side effects of that but I can certainly say for myself that uh I I feel we all could use um some mental health Counseling in this age of constantly being on our phones constantly having a you know almost fake reality of social media projected in our face all all the time and even just on the exposure to world news and events I mean I I wake up and pop open pop open Reddit and you’re watching you know conventional war in Europe in 4k people dying on your screen like it’s a video game just like my God I just right you don’t even really have to uh look for uh terrible content in regards to like disturbing content whether that’s Instagram or Reddit these days that uh I I I you know I’m kind of you know I’m kind of half laughing and stuff but I truly mean it like the amount of like homicide that just pop up on I dude yeah well cuz back I’m literally watching these terrible shootings and I’m like dog I didn’t even search this like right what is happening we could all use um if not a trip to a therapist at least just a recognition that like I don’t know if we’re supposed to take in this much uh electronic negative stimulus each day I I don’t think it’s good for us I think uh I think it influences how much road rage I see out there these days folks seem matter than hell over nothing and I I don’t know I just uh I think we could all use a breather yeah well it’s like back in the day you know you’d hear about horrible things that might be going on in the world but you could only imagine now you don’t have to imagine like you could literally watch like a fpv video of war in Ukraine like uh for folks that were wondering what fpv is firsters video it’s crazy it’s absolutely nuts man well another point you made I I just feel like as humans it’s not that we shouldn’t be worried about a community but it’s like Jesus [ __ ] Christ some of the stuff and it’s not that we don’t need to worry about the things that are happening on the other side of the earth I I do not mean to say that at all but I’m just saying like yeah like you say is it healthy to be plugged in and worried about the whole world all the time like it used to just be that you were worried about your local communities or whatever like oh we need to find a new water source and that not that that’s not a [ __ ] really complicated thing to figure out but it’s like you were just focused on the local thing now it’s like we’re focused on not only trying to focus on local but Global it’s just crazy you know it’s too much yeah man I’m someone that firmly believes you can hear about something all day uh but the second you really have to visually see it um I think there is a you know even subconscious emotional response even if you view a video of violence and you don’t outright say Hey you know that makes me sad or hey you know that makes me angry I have found after viewing you know a lot of uh world events content like that I can just find myself a little tense you know for a few hours after and I just kind of have to ask myself like what is this did I drink too much coffee I didn’t even drink coffee today but but I did watch some really life altering traumatizing uh for the people involved events and from the comfort of my couch just sitting here on an iPhone 11 right right yeah and I mean there’s things like you know it’s like the double-edged sword you know on one hand you hear about things in the past which I’m not very refined on history so I’m not going to pretend to be but like just from my lay and perspective um I I’m trying to think of like how to say this so like like in World War II it’s like when we figured out that the Nazis were like doing really bad stuff like that’s when it was like oh like we gotta [ __ ] figure that out so like you’d think that like more access to information is like a better thing but like in a weird way it almost like numbs you you because we’re so [ __ ] like exposed to it so just to kind of relate it back to that historical example that again I might be speaking way out of my league on but like there was in the past few years I say in the past few years I think it was actually in the past like five years six years it’s still going on leaked like Drone footage of uh Chinese detention camps you know like where they’re just running I mean it looks like concentration camps except it’s 2017 you know and it’s like yeah that shit’s still going on and um it’s almost because like I feel like it’s almost because there’s just so much [ __ ] going on that it’s like I don’t know some people listening right now might not be even aware that that’s like a thing but you can definitely YouTube you know footage of detention centers um you know in in China and it’s just like a thing that’s going on that’s totally like normal um you know yeah I could definitely say there’s about no piece of news I think you could throw my way that would truly Shock Me in the day and age of 2023 in regards to you know breaking here’s uh some ter here’s something terrible or insane that’s happened um I’m not sure how shocked you know you could really make me with Conjuring up a headline these days it’s pretty insane um how real that numb effect that you spoke is cuz uh I am I you know I don’t even really uh you know check a daily amount of current or world events and uh I feel pretty numbed out to the amount of terrible things yeah well on a it’s not a lighter note but just some crazy [ __ ] on the internet I don’t know why I even thought about this but this is like maybe we can laugh about this a bit you remember mh37 the airline that went missing do you remember that yeah I do and it’s just like a [ __ ] mystery um a th% yep I so I remember that because I was in like this history class at the time or it was like modern I don’t even [ __ ] know but we were talking about like current events and that was like what we talked about for like I swear like a quarter of the [ __ ] semester like where’s the [ __ ] plane you know just because it was like the story of the time um we’re just about to get into some fun conspiracy stuff because I wanted to switch gears from depressing uh things that are online um apparently this video that I’m about to show you came out shortly after that happened and again I’m just spouting off internet conspiracy [ __ ] right now because we’re smoking weed and having fun apparently nobody’s really been able to like make heads or tails of if this video has been faked or not in fact there’s this kim.com guy which I hear that people have different opinions on so I don’t I don’t even know I just like know his name I don’t know anything about him but apparently he like tweeted he’s like I will give anybody $100,000 if they can just prove that this video is fake so that we can stop debating this so apparently this footage there’s two videos that leaked shortly after this MH370 disappearance happened and the reason I say that is because apparently that’s compelling because since it since they were released shortly after it’s less likely that because this is such impressive footage that somebody like was able to CGI this right so really quick before I yeah play this video have you heard of like the whole UAP talk UFOs and all that stuff um like are you at all oh brother I know exactly what videos you’re talking about right now yeah I uh yeah I heard uh even the last I heard somebody tried to up that $100,000 Bounty up to like a 145,000 just because they weren’t getting any bites yeah yeah so again I’m not gonna but I’m I gotta play this just for the this will be my first time actually watching these I’m glad you’re putting this on let me see this so apparently on the left here so again what’s happening for just for people apparently this plane was off course so and they I don’t know there ‘s a lot of Internet conspiracy stuff going on here so like some of these details I’m saying could be wrong I just want to be very clear about this folks do your own research on this entire story but some will ask why are they filming this plane from two different angles the left being a drone the right being a satellite well it’s because the plane had diverted off course and I think there was either high high ranking military officials on board this plane and or really like uh classified material I don’t know again this could be internet conspiracy stuff just to make the story sound more scary but to people wondering why this this plane is just being recorded that’s apparently the reason like [ __ ] was going down so they were watching it and this is what was on footage so you’ll see these item these objects surround the plane there two of them now oh whoops damn it this footage let’s hopefully I’ve got the raw fin here there we go so it’s the the objects are coming they surround the plane they’re like spinning around the plane I hope to God this video doesn’t end oh my gosh this is such a fail so here you can see in the back sorry about all this stuff in the way the plane is surrounded by these objects and then oh my goodness that [ __ ] video sucked that pissed and then Ancient Aliens and then yeah that um I’m gonna find this clip really quick the point is it seems to just disappear like it it just vanishes and people are like some people are saying it went into a wormhole and this and that I don’t know Kush no catchup what say you I remember when this first popped up just on the general sphere of the internet feels like a few months ago the initial videos and talks about this of course I write it off I’m just like whatever man I’ll tell you this it’s very entertaining that here we are several months later money’s on the table and uh there’s real talks about like no let’s get this thing uh proven fake or false with money being on the table you have my attention now you truly do I can’t wait to see even just from a video perspective if someone has edited this and has caught the world’s attention or if this is something else but it’s cool that someone has put some some bread on it cuz uh that’s what gets people moving and people talking and that’s uh that’s real cool to see yeah well here is you can see the moment that we missed there’s a little bit of U UFO splicing here but here’s the disappearing moment boom see that yeah yeah no that’s my first time finally seeing it yeah I can play it again one more time but it’s just kind of crazy to see and so another piece of information of course this could all just be compelling inter I’m going to say it one more time this could just be you know that internet conspiracy [ __ ] but apparently people have said sure that um on if you look up this old and I’d like to see it I actually saved a link to it um this old MH370 documentary at the time people didn’t think much of it but apparently there’s this moment where a family member claims to have rece a few family members claimed to have received phone calls after the plane supposed went down right I just think like say no matter what whatever this ends up being I think it would be a killer movie even if it ends up being fake it would be such a cool [ __ ] movie like think just so where did the plane go of course you know like where did it go did they just teleport it somewhere else on Earth or did it go to another dimension or like what happened you know what I mean a thousand per. I’m very interested to see where that goes yeah yeah so again I’m just bringing up silly stuff just to you know get get out of the crazy world news but the reason I’m compelled by this is not only like you said there’s money on the table but back when there there were these UAP disclosures uh with the government and stuff you remember they were being like real public about uaps which I was always like suspect like it just did it seemed weird seemed like a big thing um but I was like I don’t know this is [ __ ] interesting let’s see what they say but I remember there was the result of this like closed session hearing so like you know not to the public and and several politicians including I think Rand Paul which I think is a name a lot of people would be familiar with and some other politicians I think like Matt Gates is another name of somebody who they were quoted as saying what they saw was disturbing and my thing is like you’ve seen some of these other videos right of uaps are you like into the subject oh yeah especially coming from just my background of former military a lot of the official disclosures is What’s um really caught my attention that they’re just being so open about it just like you said yeah and my thing is what could be disturbing because like when you see some of this footage where it’s like so like have you seen the Tic Tac footage where it’s on this like I don’t know it’s military tracking material that from what I understand yeah the Flur footage of it yes that the fle the Fleer footage yeah um like as far as I understand and correct me if I’m wrong if you know more about this but there’s nothing that we really know of that can get out of like when you’re locked on under Fleer like you’re locked we’re not going to lose you you know type of thing and this thing just zooms off yeah I mean in regards to um the capabilities that we have with uh video and photo you know they go um they go far they go far to not violate any any uh clearance that I held I only held a secret but that’s not even to be like oh he has a secret clearance and we’re talking about UFOs everyone like has a secret but just to say to be ambiguous on the capabilities of the technology that eyewitnessed in the military in regards to video yeah we we have very Advanced video Technologies uh I would say the most compelling um thing about that incident is that there is a 24 minute video and then there is the thre minute video that was Declassified and released and for those who have seen and had been privy to see the 24-minute full video there comments you know because they’re not obviously breaking NDA speaking on classified materials but their comments about it have been uh pretty remarkable of just saying the full video is very um telling of what we’re really uh dealing with in the three minute video um some have said there is an entire fleet of these sort of objects that are on that video that’s literally all that is known uh I just from my standpoint think it is very cool that there is much much more uh footage of this event that the government has acknowledged and hopefully one day we get to see it because regardless of what you think about this uh sort of stuff it is interesting to see these videos uh especially just yeah and it’s gone yeah and that’s the point I was trying to make folks I mean yeah what I understand if you’re locked in like that like that is not you can’t that it’s going so fast it’s just yeah that pilot that uh you know is on the recording when he was brought onto you know he’s done a whole media tour of speaking on it yeah he said they tracked it go uh from 880,000 feet down to sea level and less than a second pretty wild yeah and some of the the movement I think that’s exhibited in this video that you’re going to see it rotate a bit and then it’s going to take off it’s crazy when this happens because this guy back in the day that a lot of people called a quack Bob Lazar he described he described it as a flying saucer but one of the things he said was it doesn’t fly like this in the cartoons before it takes off it turns on its side and it’s just interesting because that’s exactly what is exhibited in that footage oh that’s really cool the craft turns on its side and then and then zooms out or at least in one of the foot pieces of footage I saw but like you said yes I’ve heard um to get back around to the point I was going to make is like I’ve heard of people like you say they describe it as extraordinary and you know unlike anything we’ve ever seen like you say to probably keep the classification Under Wraps but one thing that I recall and maybe I can Google it just to make sure that I’m not just making this [ __ ] up off the top of my head but I remember somebody saying something to the of what they saw was disturbing and my thing is and this is obviously part of the theory that I’ve read online is like what else would be disturbing other than seeing a [ __ ] airliner get abducted you know what I mean like I I don’t feel like movements are that disturbing I feel like that’s like amazing like you were saying like that’s like oh [ __ ] you know I agree but what’s disturbing you know I would say um to reference something that has twice been confirmed uh uh apparently every president that you know once they’re voted in inaugurated all that they get their initial briefing uh where they are first you know brought onto the you know classified information that a president you know is privy to and uh two people have claimed to confirm that after uh Jimmy Carter got his that he uh exited weeping uh from his from his briefing and uh he he’s been known to be a very you know just an InTouch guy you know the the humanitarian president um for him to have that reaction my honest guess is that this disturbing content that they’re speaking to I feel it has to do with um the large question of origin of Life slash are we alone obviously right but I’m just trying to put emphasis on I think for anyone regardless of background to even imagine being given any piece of information that could maybe question that you know even question it I think um I think could just be really uh terrifying you know for someone to go through and I’ve always it’s it’s always stuck off to me that people have claimed that President Carter’s UFO briefing left him in tears um and I and then you bringing this up I it’s not that I have any reason to think that they’re connected or or anything like that I just I’ve also asked myself that what could you be told or shown um to not be excited or or or have you know um uh emotions of Wonder and um looking towards the future I I would say if it’s severely impacted your view of the human story I think no matter what they told you it it would be a gut Punch Yeah that’s a good point that’s a good point it could just change the way we see everything you you know what I mean when you’re like you see it’s almost like seeing behind the curtain yeah there was um you know there’s it’s always looked uh you know like looked down upon when these guys like get out of the CIA and they you know write books or become media personalities but uh a piece of commentary I heard from one of these guys once that that stuck out to me was his claims on on the Roswell event where he said you know honestly I feel at this point if uh if some if just something from outer space crashed into the Earth that day they just say it it it it’d be out by now and he said he even took it a step further and said I even feel if there were the little green men you know that we’ve always Hollywood envisioned within such crashed craft that they’d probably reveal it and and and it would be Declassified what he said is his guess on the you know the the the lock that our government still holds on that that uh that information would be that uh the what do they what do they call it in that whole Rim the biologics or whatever they don’t even say like alien bodies or something but whatever nonhuman intelligence he said uh whatever they found in that craft if it did contain the Human Genome that that would seal it that if this phenomenon or if this you know 1947 event was actually a as that one guy [ __ ] what did what was his name Lis zando the guy who was like the former head of that UFO program and now he’s all public about it he said uh maybe no even think about it as aliens but think of it as mankind when he said that and then I remembered what that one CIA dude said you know I’m sitting there rocketing off Edibles saying good Lord are they trying to say there’s like human aliens out there or something because that was the first thing for even just my stoned brain to say yeah I think if they told I think if they told old Jimmy that that these aliens are us that uh that might take him um that might be a tear Drigger for a guy really connected you know with his uh spirituality with his you know Creator story and uh yeah just to bring it all back to what could they be told that would be labeled as disturbing I don’t know man if you told me the government came out and said hey by the way those were some uh those were some people from the future that crashed into that desert that day I’d go good god well now you got a headline to catch my attention here I am saying earlier you couldn’t say anything to really grab me through a a headline off of my phone yeah that one would get me that one would uh that one would grab my attention pretty quick so that’s my stone guess of uh what could these government officials be told about the UFO phenomenon that freaks him out if it’s people from the future man oh [ __ ] y’all better hold on yeah yeah I mean that would be kind of crazy now that you say that it’s like if you like were sat down like hey so you know how everybody talks about aliens right you’re we’re like yeah yeah he’s just like got it sir yeah but it like yeah I know everybody talks about aliens right right so we’re the aliens just so you know he’d probably stop in his tracks with that one right I don’t know it’s just kind of interesting and I mean it feeds into other possible Stoner [ __ ] I’ve read on the online where like you know Terren McKenna with the stoned ape Theory where it’s like how did I get I don’t know again I’m talking way out of my Pace but people have described the change in brain size of you know like from monkeys to humans to in in the short amount of time span that it occurred to be like extraordinary or as some people say extraordinary um in other words some people have hypothesized that maybe humans are the result of like sped up Evolution or like you know so maybe we aren’t the aliens exactly but maybe were like a [ __ ] science experiment they had because like yeah dude wouldn’t that be [ __ ] fascinating if you had like an earth and you could like like think about how fascinating it must be to watch us you know the monkeys with the bombs that are shooting each other and [ __ ] like probably a pretty [ __ ] wild show to watch you know a th% man when you throw in those nuclear detonations and all this UFO culture starting within our country but it’s uh it’s a pretty fascinating topic when you consider the size and power of those weapons which I think that’s something that we you know we talk about and we we just take for granted we mention these Megaton explosions that we set off not really understanding truly I mean like if we want to be on some Stoner brain stuff when you look up some of these weapons that threw various Nations you know from the 40s going on through the Cold War tested on planet Earth it’s absolutely [ __ ] insane I mean the us alone in their nuclear testing throughout the American desert through you know just destroying the bikini ATL you know removing those people from their homes and just turning that into I mean like as someone who’s you know mortars air strikes seen it all in training this and that you just these These are pimples pimples in comparison to these weapons that you know decades upon decades ago we were just popping around here like every I I feel anyone listening should do themselves a favor and read up on the the history of nuclear testing uh even just on the American perspective it’s [ __ ] insane how many of those things we popped off I think growing up you think hey we yeah there was some testing of this bomb we were in this big war we dropped two the war is over no dog this nuclear arms race is like one of the most Insidious things you know of global governments yeah the you know acquiring and just creation of these weapons is something from a fantasy novel when you really think about it just these single unit devices that would ruin you know just ruin our environment for I mean centuries to come and you go oh that’s terrible well how many are there oh go dude there’s thousands like there’s thousands well how many people have them oh dude all over the world and just be like what are you serious you you guys are [ __ ] and be like yeah we are yeah I uh I think sometimes I probably smoke weed to just take my mind off of the uh the nuclear arms race and the Everlasting potential for a single country to just destroy the world like I said from a fantasy novel but it’s real life baby yeah and you know some people might say that I have a a drug abuse problem but truly that’s one of that’s one of the uh reasons I I use to stay as high as I am because I’m just like dude at any moment these [ __ ] could blow this off I’d rather die High I ain’t dying sober a thousand per. I am right there with you Cole pack me a bowl for that yeah well um I’d love to have you back on uh more often if if you’d be down for it it’s cool to have just random chats like this you know smoke weed and be silly and talk about crazy [ __ ] on the internet maybe maybe a little little irresponsible because I was trying to be responsible about this folks I made it very clear that you should do your own research um to see whether or not this is real or fake um but very convincing like you say um I mean at this point the government’s acknowledging it so you know back in the day these people pretty wild man yeah back in the day this was just you could just say like oh these [ __ ] Stoners they’re just being high and talking about aliens and like that’s that is true we we are just getting high and talking about about aliens but this is like some [ __ ] that I was one of those people yeah yeah I was absolutely one of those people being like y’all need to just keep smoking your weed but probably chill out but um like I ask what was it that got you did you say it was the the government the official government briefings that that are like legit that you read like what is it that you finally were like [ __ ] this there’s something to this maybe so you know I have to shout out the legend my homie for Life Justin he has placed all of the like seeds of this sort of topic I mean since I since I met him when he was like he’s 17 I’m 18 I mean he’s all about this topic I’m constantly just come on dude just chill out like yeah I’ll hear it out okay all right all right but I’m seriously you know just pretty much half humoring it he’ll throw some things in there I’ll go well that’s pretty interesting saying or yeah that’s a pretty crazy video but God this guy he’s so goofy but then when you take this whole official government you know announcement disclosure and now uh The Whistleblower event with that David grush guy I mean I’m looking back at some of the things my homie has been saying for like the last decade and I’m looking over at him like you son of a gun is some of this stuff real I’m literally looking back at him like were you really on to something this whole time and we’re at that point now with these official government disclosures where I I I I text him back all the time and go you see this look what they’re saying it’s theyy like I Gotta Give the props to
