Only Cool on Social 2024
Alright, what's up y'all? We are back with another episode of Only Cool On Social. I don't know if you can see that this is going to be an exciting podcast. This has also been a podcast that's been in the making for a while. We talk about this one a lot too. My good friend, my partner I call it, we're partners. We helped create the studio we have. Now I'd like to introduce my boy, my brother, jacob Flores. People, what's up? We got Vic over here, and let me introduce another person that might sound familiar. He's in the back. I'm known as Producer Eric. On his show Today he turns into Producer Vic. Meow, what's up, vic? How you doing, man?
Speaker 3:This is a weird spot to be in. I'm not going to lie to you.
Speaker 1:It's even weirder after what we all know.
Speaker 3:What the fuck you mean? I'm not the center of attention, I'm out.
Speaker 1:He's leaving people.

Yeah, it's going to be cool having you on here too. I'm glad you could make it. So let me go deeper into your intro with who Jacob Flores is. Jacob is an artist, a creative, a graphic designer Biggest thing I want to ask you before I. So I want to let people know that he is one of the most amazing minds that I know, and I think we both talk about all of that.
Speaker 1:We can't sit in the same room without getting really deep. But when it comes to artwork, man, you dial in and get deep. The only cool on social logo design. There's a story behind it. But real quick, he said, give me an hour.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was tight.
Speaker 1:And you sent me this and this is somewhat the concept of what I wanted, and I told him it. He took one of his own designs he kind of previously put together in artwork and then we just built the rest and fine-tuned it. So, logo designs, jake's your guy, uh. Graphic designing, flyer work, um, uh, websites he's your dude. So let's get into it, man. I want to show this real quick too, because I know, uh, I want to, I want. We're not going to talk about the event yet, but I want to touch on this because I know there's something recent. You did Killjoy Magazine. When I say this guy gets down with work, here it is. He did the front cover of the Killjoy Magazine.
Speaker 2:It's cool how that one came about too, because I've seen the magazine issue number. This is issue number six. I saw issue number five at EZ Studio and I was like damn, this magazine is dope, it's our magazine. I was like, bro, how do I get on in this? You know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, this is dope yeah. I love this, bro, and you know what's crazy I read. I don't know where I've seen this again.
Speaker 2:The Everyone is Crater.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Check this out, y'all. Everyone is look at that Side note.
Speaker 3:I to jump in because someone just asked me if I had heard of kill killjoy right killjoy magazine and if it wasn't for you, I had never heard of it. But I was like, wait, my buddy got featured on that magazine. I had to double check it and, yeah, sure enough, you popped right up.
Speaker 1:So yeah, yeah, shout out, shout out, killjoy. And then, and then he had his own little piece in here. So if you guys cop a, cop a uh magazine, you could learn a little bit more about jake. Uh, I feel like we're going to cover all this stuff, you know. So let's get into it. Man, what have you been up to recently, what you working on? Again, let's not talk about the show Kona I want to talk about that later but outside of that, like I know, you got some little painting projects you've been working on.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, I've been painting a whole lot recently, whole lot recently uh, my son, you know, obviously, with easter being today, uh, happy easter everyone too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's bunny baby, that's why I'm wearing this.
Speaker 2:Yeah, uh, I've been painting a whole lot recently. I have, uh, three new pieces that I just did. I have one in the room. It's pretty much almost. I'll probably finish this tonight, honestly, we'll have to wrap up on this, but, um, it's cool to be be able to paint again. I haven't. I haven't painted this much in a long time, honestly. So I mean, uh, eric knows I'm always jugging like different things. You know he's he's jugging a whole lot himself too as well.
Speaker 1:But uh, can we get? Can we get that, that fan off?
Speaker 2:honestly, oh yeah, yeah, this one's not.
Speaker 1:I was wondering why, like I I feel like it was it was moving my little paper.
Speaker 3:Oh shit you hear that little difference, will it pick up on the audio.
Speaker 2:I don't think that one for sure. You won't this one maybe.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it definitely went more quiet and I've learned this when we do Vic's stuff, but anywho, sorry about that y'all. Yeah, go ahead. Artwork yeah, man Painting.
Speaker 2:Painting artwork. Uh, yeah, man, painting, painting um I it's cool. I always thought I was a slow painter. But I have you know something coming up recently. I was like I gotta get some paintings done, start to finish, did two of them. Uh, each took about like five days to do and I was like damn I was. I was impressed by that for myself. I always thought I was a slow painter yeah um, and yeah, man, I. It's crazy because I've always done a whole lot of different arts, so I just like juggling.
Speaker 3:You know different before you continue jake, can you just like? The mic and not not even closer. Just angle it more now towards this way, because it sounds a little right there, yeah, yeah, that sounds okay, continue go ahead yo okay, but yeah, that sounds a lot better, even if it's just the slightest thing and kind of direct your voice at the mic.
Speaker 1:I got you Just a little bit more. You're good. Yeah, yeah, it was great right there. So you just talked about like you always felt like you're a slow painter or just artist in general?
Speaker 2:Just a slow painter. I always thought I was a slow painter.
Speaker 1:So we're both creatives, like in our own right. Why do you feel like that was a feeling within your space? Have you seen other people just paint fast and get better results? Or it was just like you're in your own mind? Because, as creatives, I think we overanalyze our work?
Speaker 2:Yeah, we definitely judge our own stuff more. But I see other artists. They'll be like well, I'm going to knock this piece out, knock this piece out, knock this piece out. I'm like, damn, I'm going to knock this piece out, knock this piece out, knock this piece out. You know they always. You know I'm like damn, I'm taking longer on mine, but it's just because I don't really dive in and just like put in hella hours because I'm like jumping into something else.
Speaker 2:You know the logo or you know something else. But whenever I do plug myself in, they're like yo, I'm going to put a couple hours in this, I'm yeah. You know, so it's kind of cool to see that now.
Speaker 1:So how did you get into art? Like, is it something that you've been doing since you were a kid? Did you just start picking it up? I know, when I was a kid, everyone used to do Dragon Ball Z, you know, and.
Speaker 1:I feel, like that was the start of a lot of people's art experience. Or you'd have like that third grade. It was almost like a pottery class. I don't know if you guys had it, but you get to learn colors, you get to paint and you get to build a little something. Those were always the fun.
Speaker 2:I remember the one that I did like with the masks, like we did, like a paper mache on our face.
Speaker 3:Did you ever do a class like that?
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, we did that that we would have at school. Those were like my funnest thing. Like I have core memories for each one of those, but I remember just doing art from shoot before I can even remember. Like I have this picture I was like probably four years old of, uh, some homemade play-doh making like a little statue yeah and so, from the longest I've always done, uh, art, you know yeah so.
Speaker 1:So people kind of understand. When we first met you uh are a close friend of, or at the time oh shit, what the heck was that at the time? You you were. You were hanging out one of my best friends, brandon yeah and he pulled up to your house. You were doing silk screening. You had a whole room with silk screen stuff. You had, uh, t-shirt design you. You had drawings across the whole wall, right, uh, it was insane.
Speaker 2:But it's cool actually, like I remember hearing that side from that's when we first met from from you though, because you know how I got like memory of, like a goldfish, you know.
Speaker 1:So you're like hey, I actually elaborate how bad is a goldfish's memory.
Speaker 2:It's terrible, okay, cool but uh, uh, you're like, yeah, we were printing on some shirts. And you're like, oh, this is I just know, I just know how you are. You're like, oh, this is dope, you know. And then he goes uh, jake was like hey, uh, take off your shirt you're like what, like, yeah like who is this guy?
Speaker 1:bro, you're so impulsive with shit like what, like this guy goes crazy. Once you thought anything get creative, he's just jumps on it. Uh, he, I took my shirt off. He put one of his designs on. I'm almost 100 sure I still have it. It's in my treasure chest in my back shed and I wish I could have got it for this.
Speaker 2:But along with other things. Yeah, that's a cool design, because I don't even have that design.
Speaker 1:It's a golf cart, uh, with this character in it but it's super dope? Um, he's always been. He's just always been creative. That's how. That's how we met um, that was our first connection and then we we got together. Jake has done my baker show, bike rental logo, um logo. He did my Only Cool on Social. He's done a couple other logos that I've worked on or when I've had a quick idea. He did the Bakersfield Wine Tour logo.
Speaker 2:Creative crew the creative crew. That was just like boom, we knocked that out.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so we collab on creative thoughts and ideas to make stuff happen quick for sure. So tell me, bro, this is really I think it's gonna make uh, this fun, because you're just a different character when it comes to these things and you know deeper things. I feel like you explore the, the outer limits of a lot of deeper spaces within ourselves or the universe. You know One in particular aliens.
Speaker 2:Oh hell, yeah, yeah, let's talk about aliens.
Speaker 1:right, I know this is like a crazy topic year after year, no matter what time we're in something new is coming out.
Speaker 2:This is something new that's clearly bringing this up, because I just discovered an app that basically is for alien sightings and people are uploading their stories, videos all right cool.
Speaker 1:So then I want to get into that um I, I think we, we should just start off with this, this, and you're one of these people that can maybe convince people otherwise, if they weren't. The big question that's been time and time again throughout our history are aliens real? That's one.
Speaker 2:Okay.
Speaker 1:And then I want you to go into. You have an actually alien encounter?
Speaker 2:Yeah, at some point in your life. This is cool. So for the first one, are they real? Yes, they are real, but my perspective on them has changed a little bit. I feel like they're definitely more demonic right, they're demonic. They're demonic. Yeah, yo, but here's the thing there's multiple species. First of all, careful, it's Easter. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So aliens are demons, are they like?
Speaker 3:a negative.
Speaker 2:So the experience I had wasn't negative. So I can't confirm that, but I I definitely believe that there are multiple species and, just like you know, humans, there's like people that have good intentions for people, and then there's you know others that don't you know. So, uh, I feel like aliens kind of fall in line in that. So the ones that I encountered, I didn't really get like a negative presence from, uh, but yeah, it's, it's, it's kind of it's crazy okay, so so, but yeah, yeah, you, you have, I, I have to be refreshed on this.
Speaker 1:so I'm glad we're going through right now, because there's a lot of different types of alien encounters and Vic chime in on this.
Speaker 3:I'm fighting for my life right now and he just threw out that aliens are demonic dog.
Speaker 1:So check this out. There's been a lot of stories about aliens abducting humans. Briefly, right.
Speaker 2:They're happening like left and right now.
Speaker 1:From a childhood. I remember these alien abduction stories on TV and it was always the bright light. They're on a table, they're in like a weird space. There's little people. Is that real? Is that?
Speaker 2:what you went through or what was that. I didn't, I didn't, uh, they didn't like beam me up, you know. Uh, let me just chime in on my, my experience, real quick yeah, let's start there yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So, uh, backstory on me. You know I've been in sales a long time and my schedule was kind of sporadic. If I had a little break I would go home, you know, take a little power nap, uh, and I happen to have a appointment I missed. So, uh, I had a gap in my schedule. I went home, took a little power nap and I'm just laying. It's like midday, like three o'clock or so, uh, 30 minutes in or whatever, I wake, wake up and I'm paralyzed. I'm laying right on my back, face up. And, kid you not, I had two little creatures. They were about four foot something, four foot two inches or so, big old head, just for the camera quick like this.
Speaker 3:Big head. It was a big head, huge head, and their eyes were probably like that. So the stereotypical, in a way Stereotypical.
Speaker 1:That's what I was going to ask.
Speaker 2:Stereotypical. What was the color? Like the Mac right here. Now the thing have you guys ever seen like a stingray or like a manta ray.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, you know how their skin kind of looks. What's the texture? Look like the texture like a sandpaper.
Speaker 2:It had little dots, you know, like tiny little dots, and the dot, the top of the dot, were like almost like a white issue, so it's like all gray, but the sandpaper side, you know, had like the texture of sandpaper. Essentially you know what I'm saying. So do you know what a sagittal crest is? A what A sagittal crest. It's basically like apes have them. They're like the bone structure kind of goes in like this.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, like, almost like it's a symmetrical line where you can split open.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, like a little mountain almost if you will. And they have a sagittal crest right Like a seam on your nuts.
Speaker 1:Oh jeez, come on Vic.
Speaker 2:And their nose was almost just like two slits it wasn't like it defined like our nose and their mouth was just really small little lips right. Their ears were imagined like our belly buttons. So they weren't defined like our ears but they were just like our belly buttons, kind of go. We went in and what they were wearing was like this like a jumpsuit, leather kind of jumpsuit.
Speaker 1:Oh, so they had clothes on.
Speaker 2:They had clothes on, yeah.
Speaker 3:These motherfuckers are fashionable. It was a full one piece.
Speaker 1:They're in New York. They're all in New York and just wearing clothes, bro.
Speaker 2:Bro. Their fingers were like this long, Like twice the size of our fingers.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that makes sense.
Speaker 2:It's crazy because one of them so I had one at the end of my bed and the other one was like catty corner there was two, there's two.
Speaker 1:This is the alien gangbang got it. I'm just kidding. Wow, this is crazy. What okay.
Speaker 2:So the one that was on the side of me, right, he kind of like reached out his finger like freaking, like et phone home did this and I was like what the fuck? And now I'm paralyzed by.
Speaker 1:Have you seen? Et yet, at this point, like the movie no, no, honestly, yeah.
Speaker 3:How old were you when this happened?
Speaker 2:No, this was like I was. This was like 2015-ish.
Speaker 3:Oh, this was 2015?. Bro, I'm thinking you were a kid.
Speaker 2:No, this was recent bro. Like this is like not that far out, you know, and this is in Bakersfield, california.
Speaker 1:This is in Bakersfield.
Speaker 2:Okay, he's reaching his hand out and I'm pretty much foaming at the mouth because I'm paralyzed, trying to like scream, you know, and if you've ever had like a sleep paralysis, kind of feel that's what it was like.
Speaker 1:It seems like that's what you would have.
Speaker 2:It was like that. The only thing that different was like I. I have had sleep paralysis. I was, like I don't know, freshman in high school, so I've had those experiences so many times. This definitely wasn't like that same feeling of the sleep.
Speaker 3:Okay I was just gonna say what would you say to people who said it wasn't an alien encounter, that was just sleep paralysis?
Speaker 2:I've experienced sleep paralysis over a hundred times.
Speaker 1:I was like I've, I've been able to like this is something different but the, the paralysis was the same I wonder if, if I want to almost ask someone else to come up come out with one of the alien encounters, whether it's in bakersfield or anywhere right, this was now.
Speaker 2:This funny thing about this one is that it wasn't the first time I've actually like seen like a ufo or whatever.
Speaker 2:Like this time I didn't see the ufo, but yeah but like uh, freshman year I used to get home and just go in the backyard look at the sky. That was like my thing, you know, and I had my dog. Both of us was like on the floor just like pretty much laying. He's, like you know, laying in my arms or whatever and I'm just looking at the clouds. Freaking hot orange disc comes like zooming fast as heck, like 2 000 miles per hour, like something zipping through and this is high school.
Speaker 1:This is a high school. You're not on drugs, not on drug I haven't done drugs since okay, okay, cool. I just want to make sure people know, like, so they don't try to say that guy must have been on something. Yeah, yeah, okay cool definitely wasn't.
Speaker 2:Um, even my dog. It's funny. My dog lived up and he's like what the heck? Uh, and we're both looking at it. It was like hovering there for like, straight up, it's stereotypical. What you would say oh, that's a ufo, like it, identical, like you know, but it was hot bright orange. It was like glowing neon bright orange and it was like hovering there for a second. Then it just darted off. I called my sister right away. I was like sarah, I just saw a ufo. She goes shut up, idiot.
Speaker 1:And yeah, cool, cool sibling. Yeah, you really support. Yeah, any, anything Not even support You're going to call me crazy, Right? So you take that experience and how did it alter any perspective or previous perspective you might have had when it comes to UFOs?
Speaker 3:Hold on, hold on. Before you get there, finish the story. What happened. So you run into them and then what Sleep?
Speaker 2:paralysis. Did they ask you something? Did they tell you something? Yeah, so they run into him. And then what? Oh, yeah, yeah, so they asked, they reached out. Yeah, so they reached out. And uh, it kind of it didn't touch me, but his hand was like probably within like two feet from me the alien's like google me.
Speaker 1:He's like he's like we need a website he gets out of sleep where he's like you, uh, you're yeah, how did?
Speaker 2:you find me, you're gonna make us an nft.
Speaker 1:Oh, I like that. That was good jake, yeah, so I'm like what the fuck's an nft he's like. We'll pay you an eth oh man, that sounds like a real, what is?
Speaker 2:that now I'm believing this is really they really said that yeah, they will, it was, it was actually. It's more of like a telepathic thing too okay, like it was definitely till. It got in your mind yeah, yeah, they're wow like we're communicating in some sense of like a. I didn't feel this is the. The analogy I like to bring up is like, almost like. Imagine if you were a dog, right, and he is going to.
Speaker 1:I think that's more of the first time his podcast, and you know.
Speaker 2:But imagine like you're, you're the dog right, and then someone's gonna pet you that you do not know and and are you gonna bite them? You know, imagine that kind of perspective what that would feel like okay right. I was like what the fuck is happening right now? I wasn't afraid, I wasn't thinking they were going to kill me or whatever, but it was definitely like a curiosity was there.
Speaker 1:Okay. Do you think that you were chosen? Do you think it's random?
Speaker 2:I think it's kind of that's a good question. Do you think they just?
Speaker 1:pull up on this random house. It's like random. Do you think it's kind of that's a good question, do you?
Speaker 3:think they just pull up on this random houses like. You know what this looks like?
Speaker 2:I don't think, I don't think it's random dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't think it's ran, I don't know. Man, is it? I think they've. They've that first time when I was like a freshman, I feel like they were like yo, boom, this is a guy. Because it was like literally right over our house, like that shit was super close bro and um, yeah, so afterwards they, he puts his hand back, he kind of goes back and uh, do you remember those uh paper? It was like a what is it how you describe it? Like you know those two papers where they're trying to transparent and you kind of move them side to side and the image moves. Have you seen that you know I'm talking about? So it has like the lines yeah right.
Speaker 2:So they did that. They basically like I saw a bunch of little lines and they just beamed out like, oh, so they just kind of like they were like a video effect yeah, they did like a little video but they were definitely physically there and for in my room like they were physically there. I saw shadows. There was like because the my window was like right here and the light was even there, so they teleported through the walls, you think.
Speaker 3:Well, above, like it went straight up, like I saw, like it was like Santa Claus you didn't see them come in, though you didn't see them come in, I didn't see them come in.
Speaker 2:I saw when they left. It was like and then just like a light just beamed. It was trippy Like. The color of the light was like with like a hot yellow. Who was in the house? It was just me, I was oh man yeah yeah, so then I, I, I it's funny I called my sister, or actually I texted some friends like yo I just seen an alien he took one of your, one of your uh shirts and there the shit is fire.
Speaker 2:My boy gets a selfie from like a weird number and it's an alien I, uh, I had a mirror right at right at the end of my started drawing it. What? I saw I'm like, oh, this is like the typical freaking alien. Like no one's gonna believe this shit, cause it's like, oh, you could've fucking googled. What does an alien look? Like and there it is, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but you said you think there's different species. Yeah, so it should make sense.
Speaker 2:The most recent UFO that I had seen. This one happened Actually when we were doing aliensens on the F, Eric. I think I told you and Brady this story, which is kind of cool. It's like this one was when I was.
Speaker 1:Okay, so you've encountered aliens more than once, three times.
Speaker 2:Okay, you know that, vic.
Speaker 3:That's fucking crazy.
Speaker 1:He's met aliens three times Are you dating an alien?
Speaker 2:They're trying to date me. They're trying to date me.
Speaker 1:They're trying to date me, he's a toxic alien ex.
Speaker 3:But you know what I do feel like. This kind of goes back, Eric, to some things that you talk about. You attract certain energies and certain things when you believe it the way that he does.
Speaker 2:I feel like you open yourself up to be like yeah.
Speaker 2:I always have good intentions for people, right, and when I went explain this uh stuff to a friend of mine, that's like experiences with other people and stuff and and they've been like negative. But the reason why I feel like there's multiple species is because of this um lasting basically, people would say it would be like a dream. I guess I guess it could be considered a dream, but I'm barely I believe in like prophetic kind of dreams too okay, and the ones that it's almost like telling you something that will be okay. Um, and and this one was crazy because I I wasn't like sleeping in my bed. I basically was like I was uh meditating, sitting up in a chair and I meditated for like 30 minutes straight, went into a trance of me falling asleep. I woke up at 4.44 in the morning and this was crazy because I had literally me and Eric always checking the times and stuff.
Speaker 1:That's an important thing to notate, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah so we're always noticing stuff like that Wait.
Speaker 3:is the time significant or just?
Speaker 2:I mean just the fact that I woke up at that specific time and then I had this dream. So basically I'm in the uh, I'm in the garage with a friend of mine working on his car, uh, my boy, josh, um, and I basically go out to the driveway and I see this like UFO. It looked like a PlayStation, the PlayStation. What are they on? Six now, or five, what is it? Playstation five, ps five, ps five.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so what is it?
Speaker 2:PlayStation 5, right, ps5, yeah, ps5, yeah. So it looked like a PS5, but more almond shape, okay. And I saw this like almost it looked like a Beats by Dre, like the pill. Have you seen the pill? Mm-hmm, it looked like that. It fell from the UFO and it just like bounced a little bit and it started like a transformer. But it starts shape-shifting right, and I I saw the lens, almost it was recording, and then I heard I literally this was the first time I audibly heard them and it said Anakdina Atah, which I basically I have a friend that knows a whole bunch of stuff on Hebrew and all that, so I went and told him about this. It's like that basically means that God will judge thee, or something God will judge all Okay, which tripped me out. I literally woke up like I said 444. I had goosebumps. The voice was Bro. The voice. Check this out, though. The voice was. So it was like Bro. It was crazy. I've been sleeping for a week, bro.
Speaker 1:What aliens are you channeling? I haven't had those yet.
Speaker 2:Now this goes back to what I was saying. As far as me, I always have good intentions for people and then, if you know me, I'm a believer in Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior. But when I go back to talking about them as being demonic, I feel like they've realized that my energy is pure and good and I feel like I'm almost like on a, on a target or some in some fashion. Right, because when I heard that and then the fact that I said all of that, like I uh there was one part of the word that I couldn't translate well, but it basically meant, like I said, god will judge all or judge those or something like along those lines, uh, tripped me out, bro, like to this day I have notes on my phone about it. I have a friend I had one, you know, um conversation about it, uh with him and he does deliverance for people which is almost like on the lines of like exorcisms, whoa yeah, so.
Speaker 2:So whenever I have these, conversations with him, like on stuff like that, I'm like yo, this is a trip. He's like yeah, you know they're demonic. Um, this is new information but.
Speaker 3:If they were demonic, why would they deliver that kind of message?
Speaker 2:I feel like uh well, demons, even like satan. Satan can recite the bible better than than most people. Like angels and demons, both know god's word, but they change it a little bit. They don't go off the context of what you're reading in the verses. They'll skew it to their perversion, if you will.
Speaker 1:Give me an example, if you can.
Speaker 2:Let me see. I'm trying to think of verses, because I would think if they are demonic and they are— it's more manipulative, it's more of trying to deviate you from the word rather than deliver a message from let me give you an example. With like satan, and, and, and the lord right, jesus christ. So, um, satan will give you what you want, uh, but on the back end is it's going to be something that you don't want. There's a hidden.
Speaker 1:There's a hidden agenda yeah, hidden contract, whereas, jesus, it's going to be something that you don't want.
Speaker 2:There's a hidden contract. Yeah, hidden contract, Whereas Jesus, it's like. Have you seen that little picture of the little girl with the teddy bear?
Speaker 3:Yep.
Speaker 2:So where it's like oh, I don't want to let go of this, but he's like no, I got something better for you, Whereas if it's a Satan, he's like no, here, take this. This is what I want you think this is, but these are aliens that you're referencing to that uh, when I was, when I, when I first heard that it was uh again, this is when we were working on aliens, on.
Speaker 2:This is like when we were like still getting on their con like the smart contract all that stuff like we're, I, I, um, and at the time I don't think you remember this, but I I was telling you, bro I'm waking up, freaking at three o'clock in the morning, like almost every night, my dog's barking.
Speaker 2:He's like sleeping with me and he'd get up at these weird hours and like normally stuff doesn't happen, bro yeah and uh, and I'm very like, uh, um, you know, prevalent to, to understanding these like really weird occurrences, yeah, um, and I'll take notes on them and whatever. And actually, if you, if you wake up and this is for anybody else listening as far as this if you wake up in a weird hour, like between 2.30 to like 4.30, and you're not normally waking up at those hours, those are times when you should just like, hey, yo, pray or talk to God in those moments, because it's what they call. Is the the watchers hours, uh, which is like the first shift for uh, how do I put this? Like, um, there's a spiritual war that's going on, needs to say in it.
Speaker 1:But yeah, but that's forever, yeah, yeah but uh.
Speaker 2:so whenever I got that like it was more of like a prepare for you know end times kind of thing of thing that's what I got out of it.
Speaker 1:Okay, I don't want to stay on it too long, but we can talk about.
Speaker 2:Alien Survivor. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:So same topic, but just transition into something that's really cool. Jacob started the very first NFT ever in Bakersfield, as far as we know.
Speaker 2:Talk about the NFT as far as we know um talk about the nft, what nfts are, in your best um way to keep it short, because it that's another thing.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, that's another thing that people have to do you have to do your own, like personal research outside of like the outlined information yeah, just real briefly.
Speaker 2:So nft stands for non-fundable token. Basically, that means to be like a one-of-one, unique piece, kind of like the the mona lisa, if you will. Right um, now, what what's unique about? Uh, our nft? We're, you know, creating an online space. Uh, for the creative haven. It was called aliens on the hat, aliens on the ave. It was a 7 000 of aliens and they're all uniquely generated out of 400, I guess, traits, and they all ran through an algorithm, so each piece is unique. Some of them are more rare than others. Yeah, I don't know how much depth you want me to go into.
Speaker 1:Okay, so that's what an NFT is Essentially. Like you said, it's a one-of-one. No one else can have it. If someone sold you the Mona Lisa, that's yours, no matter how many times you make a copy of it. You have the original, it's yours and your ownership is visibly seen on a blockchain.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's how it's verified from like us, the creators, like yo. This is the, the original, which was crazy because, like at the time, and that whole space is like the wild, wild west we had two people that created like fake versions of our project, which is crazy and so people kind of understand hearing this or listening or watching.
Speaker 1:The blockchain is an open ledger, so imagine imagine your, your bank statements that you can only see you and the bank can see them. Now this open ledger of a blockchain allows everybody to see yeah, public ledger this, this transactions of what's on there, so people know who's uh has ownership of nft and where it's going, where it came from right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, correct. That's great that you could pick up on that.
Speaker 1:Hey man, Yo, that's what's up NFT baby Aliens on the app we were partners on that too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I was with Jake from the start, essentially. Actually, you got one on your.
Speaker 1:This is Eric's NFT. Right now, my NFT is on the back of yeah, shout out, bro. He custom made this thing for us and We'll get into it later that was dope. But we rocked with each other and believed in each other's stuff, you know, on both ends. And that's Aliens on the Ave Is the reason we Essentially have the studios Got the space.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, not why we got it. I mean we both pivoted. Like you know that was. We were working on the whole Social media thing and then boom, that pivoted to Creative Crew, you know, and then well, I was.
Speaker 1:I already came up with the Creative Crew. We just I threw the idea to you guys like bro you wanna do. Then we worked on the logo simultaneously while we were doing your stuff right, and then that kinda allowed the Creative Crew to happen and then we ended up getting a space shout out. We were there, we started with the studio over there, was shot by Dame or Dame I don't know why I said shot by Dame Over there. And then when we left there we started looking at spaces. But essentially I wanted to start this, the podcast, and keep everything I was doing with the creative crew because that was blowing up.
Speaker 2:Art space is freaking dope. Yeah, Vic, what do you think?
Speaker 1:bro. Actually the I Love you Say it Back podcast is shot here in the other room.
Speaker 3:And the logo is created by Jacob. Yeah, exactly See it's full circle world of creatives right here, so fun fact, I haven't even said this on my podcast, but he was able to take my handwriting, which I always think I love telling that story.
Speaker 2:That's so dope, bro.
Speaker 3:I love it. Take the handwriting. The I love you part on our logo is my handwriting and then he filled in. He did the rest. It was a great job.
Speaker 1:Well, tell them you love them, I love you.
Speaker 2:Hey, I love you, Brock.
Speaker 1:Okay, wow See, that worked.
Speaker 2:That was intimate, that was kind of weird.
Speaker 3:I'm in love with you. Continue, bro. Get back on the topic.
Speaker 1:But no Aliens on the Ave. I don't think people understand how much of an achievement that was One. Talk about how much art you put into that, how many hours you put into creating the artwork and the ups and downs you went through it and I know we don't have a lot of time to go through it. Talk about how we got scammed.
Speaker 2:The story yeah, yeah, and fraud.
Speaker 1:We got scammed, yeah, yeah, um, and frauded. Uh, you pretty much got blackmailed, right, um, and and talk about the worries of of being able to try to keep people from maybe being falling in that space like you did you know what it is like in?
Speaker 2:uh, in that space they're like hey, you're not even in if you haven't been scammed. Like everybody was getting scammed. It's like literally the wild wild west when that whole thing was going on. Uh, because everybody was trying to like make a quick buck, right, and we had set up partners with One Tree Planet and the Give Power Foundation. You know we were doing a lot of good with the project that we were building. It wasn't just about the money. I was trying to create something for creative people to collaborate and thrive in a creative community. This is all about communities for these projects. It's like creating little niches for them. But essentially for our project the team that was doing our development for the website they apparently were so deep into our project they weren't even paying their staff, so their staff was at one point. Should I go into all that?
Speaker 1:Yeah, talk about it, bro. I want Vic to hear this too.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the day of our launch we had a couple of sales and it was live for a little bit and then the site went 404 error. And just imagine this as if you were a investor for anything, right, and now the website's gone. Initially you're going to think, oh shit, this is like a scam, right?
Speaker 2:A rug pull right. And what it was is one of the employees that obviously was working on our project had access to all my code and all the back end stuff. Was basically holding the shit for ransom, wanting me to pay his salary because the only company that he was working for wasn't even paying their team.
Speaker 2:This was all new information for me. I'm like yo, you're fucking my project. We're literally live right now. We had what? 4,000 people in our discord at one point, which is crazy to me. I was like I don't even know what discord was before nfts to be, honest with you, this was all new new stuff for me.
Speaker 2:We had a whole like uh uh, moderators and everything on that, um, but uh, we lost like 3 000 members that first weekend. Like we launched on friday, I think it was friday and by monday we were at back of like 1200 members yeah, because everybody, oh in, like parts of russia, china, uh, spain, uh bunch of other countries.
Speaker 2:They're like oh, jacob flores, this guy's a scammer, you know, and I had. I was like, just I wanted to curl up in a ball and fucking cry you know, I was here when you were going through it, bro it took two weeks before I got my code back.
Speaker 2:I literally had to fucking pay. This guy was some dude in fucking another country, bangladesh. Yeah, he was like yo fucking pay my salary. It was like 4k is what they owed me. I'm like I'm not paying for crap, like I'm already fucking so deep in this shit yeah, you know and and and.
Speaker 1:Do you mind if I go kind of talk about your home and then oh yeah.
Speaker 2:So fucking just even started to get involved in this project. Like this is like more of a technical. It's not just the drawings, the drawings are just like yo, I'm an artist, I wanted to, this is my contribution and entrepreneurship of all the other things too, but it's more of a technical thing. So I had to invest a lot of money. I just ended up selling my place and I was already planning on selling my house anyways, but I used a lot of this money to launch this project and knowing that all the partnerships and things I was building, the community that we're building, the following, that we were able to circumvent the falling that we, we, we are able to uh circumference in the in that time uh was intended for our project. You know it wasn't just some fucking bullshit, um, but you know it's kind of shitty how that came about.
Speaker 2:And one, one thing I I am uh happy and privileged to to to be where we're at today. You know I'm not I'm very grateful for all the opportunities and everything and I'm grateful for the space this all. Like I and privileged to be where we're at today. You know I'm not I'm very grateful for all the opportunities and everything and I'm grateful for the space, this all, like I said, we came about from that and I'm wise enough to, like you know, a we're going to pivot and kind of things like that. But yeah, it was really. It was really sad how that came about. Like I never really that, I never really thought that was going to be a thing you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah. So okay, let me recap this real quick.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Sold. Your house had to spend money to get this NFT started. You put hundreds of hours into artwork, oh yeah, and the layers that go into the NFT.
Speaker 2:It was like 435 individual art pieces in order to create the 7,146th collection. So they basically ran through an algorithm to say, hey, this is the background, this is the eyes, the skin, all these things are all individual layers, individual drawings, to spit out that number of characters. So the NFT space crashed along with the uh crypto space I mean, when it was uh board board ape yacht club, what were they? The?
Speaker 1:board ape yacht club blew up. That's where all of the celebrities of a million, the bro no they were yeah the the floor, but they were going up into the 20s of millions what was the other?
Speaker 2:one the punk um uh, oh, yeah, uh, uh, damn it. I'm drawing a blank on those crypto punks crypto punks blew up.
Speaker 1:Uh, they were one of the originals, right? Yeah yeah, uh you, and then you had gary v with v friends he still has his stuff going. So let me get your feelings on this. You put essentially all your savings into the NFT. So much time, energy. You're getting people essentially trying to get you to pay them money for you to keep a project going that has already, uh, taken most of the resources you need to keep it going and also, uh, now people think this is a fraud yeah, so it was crazy because, like so, how did?
Speaker 1:how did that? How did that make you feel? Uh, do you feel like you let yourself down? Do or other people down, where, where, where did what? What did that bring like in emotion?
Speaker 2:I, I uh, good question, you know it definitely. I mean, obviously, I felt I'll feel I feel like I let other people down too, for sure, because you know one with the, the things that I wanted to give back. You know, we had a trip planned out, um, to install some solar panels, provide clean water in africa. We're gonna literally provide water and energy for a place, in a rule, that never even had energy. Right, and I, I had a friend that actually went on one of these trips and it was like life-changing and it was life-changing for, you know, for him and, obviously, the communities.
Speaker 2:So there was like a lot of things that I feel like, damn, I let these people down, I let myself down and and, uh, even for here in bakersfield, like there were so many things that I wanted to, my vision that I wanted to to build for, for, for this community, you know, for it actually has a bunch of creative people that are super dope and, uh, I feel like, you know, that was like really going to be something that was going to be able to help out a lot of people. Um, and you know, obviously, because, like, I'll go back to like being the wild, wild west the moment that happened, you know, being two weeks before it, the site was back online. No, at that point nobody was going to be fucking putting any money into it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it was like yo, but the crypto space crashed as well, yeah yeah, for sure, for sure.
Speaker 2:And there's projects that are still rocking and rolling. They're still doing things, and there's new projects popping up left and right.
Speaker 1:Do you think it comes back or that's something you just really can't judge it's going to come back.
Speaker 2:It's always evolving. Right now, you're going to chime in on something.
Speaker 3:Well, yeah, I was just going to say because it could be something like the way that Bitcoin went up and then it crashed and it just recently just had a huge boom. I don't know if it's anything similar to that, but they have their halving.
Speaker 1:I mean, that's the same time, so maybe that's why I lump them together. The crypto space is really the monetary side of it. How you could? I see it as almost like, say, like the fashion world, you could buy different type of fashion, designer clothes and that space is there, but it's not. It's the our, our dollars. American money is is crypto and that's just another space you could spend.
Speaker 2:Yeah, the NFT side is more like the business side of it, yeah, and then you have the currency side. Like our project was on Ethereum's blockchain, we were going for 0.09 ETH. For our mint it was 0.07, which now is like $300 in terms of the cost of what ETH is now. What is ETH right now? You have your phone open.
Speaker 3:I don't know, you would know it. What is ETH right now? I think it's like $3,200, $3,600 right now.
Speaker 2:It's like crazy At the time it was only for one ETH. At the time, our project launch was like $ 1,800 or 1,200 or something like that.
Speaker 1:Well, crypto had another boom just recently.
Speaker 2:Well, Bitcoin is having their halving 35, 45. Yeah, so 0.09 of that is what one of the NFTs was going for.
Speaker 1:as of now, Okay, Well, I want to transition out of this Again. Another crazy topic that could go on forever. It's just one of those things that are confusing once you get so deep into it. I'm still confused in some areas of it.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's going to get more.
Speaker 1:I don't know. Simplified.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it'll definitely get more simplified. Hit up.
Speaker 1:Jake, if you want to know more about NFTs.
Speaker 3:Yeah, for sure, I can launch a project for you. Don't hit up Vic. Don't hit up Vic. Nah, all right, so I'm. It's fine for my life right now. All right, I want to Do. You have your question Still.
Speaker 1:Did you come up with two questions, Vic?
Speaker 3:Well, I mean no, I'm not going to lie to you, are you still?
Speaker 1:I'm cool, so we're going to go into this.
Speaker 3:I'm going to I thought you meant for oh oh.
Speaker 1:I know what you're talking about. Yeah.
Speaker 2:OK, so I got a little segment for you. What was that? Look right now. This is called.
Speaker 1:This is called the the X-Files, put it on the mic. Ok, yeah, so so this is. Is it true? Ok, do you remember this show? This was dope bro.
Speaker 2:It's so crazy, I know it's so nostalgic, it's scary. It was kind of scary Dude, that song is just trippy, right?
Speaker 1:What was it? Matt Mulder? Yeah, mulder, bro, that's fun and what was her name?
Speaker 2:Scully.
Speaker 1:I think. So what was her name? I never saw that show, I just know that song.
Speaker 3:You've never seen X-Files, bro? No.
Speaker 2:Bro, X-Files is trippy.
Speaker 3:It's dope, okay. So people, anytime you bring it up, they say kind of the same thing. They're like dude, it's kind of like the, it was like the, it was like Black Mirror before Black.
Speaker 1:Mirror. Oh, 100%, yeah, yeah, so okay so X-Files. Bob Lazar. I know it wasn't Area 51. He came out with a lot of things about people call him crazy on, but later on end up being true. I mean, what is it? They found out one of the things he came up with and they're like it's not even on the zinc iron.
Speaker 2:Oh, the element. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1:It wasn't even there yet, right? And then, when it came out that it's there, he's like. I told you guys, is that true? You think that encounter's?
Speaker 2:real, it definitely is. There's aliens. He talks about seeing the spaceships. I feel like that's true, yeah 100%?
Speaker 1:And do you think that there's other cases of people like Bob Lazar where they disappeared once? They kind of mainstreamed, try to talk about things or seen too much?
Speaker 2:Oh, you mean like— they didn't just dispose of these people?
Speaker 1:They erased his history of ever being connected to the government being there, everything.
Speaker 2:I definitely believe in that shit, for sure, okay.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'd say that's true. They erased his history of ever being connected to the government, being there everything I definitely believe in that shit for sure.
Speaker 2:Okay, yeah, I'd say that's true. Okay, well, you heard it first. Well, you hear about that kid that was talking about CERN and their whole portal. You guys know about CERN. No, well, cern, they're firing it up on the 8th, the 8th april, 8th. Uh, cern basically is, is, is the hadron collider. Basically they're trying to create a miniature version of the big bang and basically it's like seven mile I want to say a seven miles big ass ring and what they do. Check this out. They shoot, they shoot like photons and they made him collide. A seven mile ring like huge, and they're in these tunnels and they hit them and they collide and that basically creates amount of energy. Now they they fired up back in 2020 when the whole covid thing was happening.
Speaker 2:And this is something I stand on today because, uh, if you look up, this is where I'm going with this but if you look up the chick-fil-a logo, it says chick, c-h-i-c-k. Dash phil a right. I had an office right on stockdale, right by chick-fil-a when they opened. I never even had chick-fil-a until they opened up there and literally it was. I used to walk over there. It was c-h-i-c. Dash phil-A. To this day.
Speaker 1:That's what I remember, so where I'm going with this is a whole Mandela effect but, CERN is basically manipulating energies when they sparked that thing up not that long ago, right, yeah, that was in that Mandela effect. Yeah, that was a Mandela, yeah, the big.
Speaker 2:Mandela effect that happened. People were like oh, whoa, whoa, all this stuff is different, right. So there different right so there's a kid that was talking about this stuff and he was deep into this stuff. Nobody knows where this kid's at. He was like you know what I'm talking about this? No, but I believe it, yeah, yeah, no, dude, till this day he was big, he had this video that went multi freaking viral like millions of views and stuff. Uh, nobody knows where this kid's at wow, we gotta look into that.
Speaker 1:and what do you? It's just the Mandela effect and what is the name?
Speaker 2:of the thing CERN and the Hadron Collider.
Speaker 1:Look up CERN and the Mandela effect if you guys want to learn more Real quick on the whole eclipse.
Speaker 2:So the eclipse, april 8th, right, big eclipse happening. It's going over seven cities in the United States, all named nineveh. Uh, 2017, I think it was 2017 seven cities went over in this last eclipse. Uh, all named salem. Okay, now they form the tav. It's a symbol in hebrew. Uh, god says I'm the beginning and the end. Uh, alpha and omega. Right, tav is the end in hebrew, like the, the letters you know as far as the alphabet, uh, and it forms that symbol. It looks like a cross tilted.
Speaker 2:Uh, nineveh is mentioned in the bible, in jonah's story. It's four chapters. Read it basically uh, I'll just you know recap god is telling jonah to go tell the town of nineveh. Hey, stop your wicked ways. In the book of Matthew it says only an evil and adulterous generation is going to ask for a sign. The only sign they're going to get is the sign of Jonah the prophet. If you correlate those two, that story is about repentance. The story is about coming to Jesus. It's about fasting. So actually, I don't know when this is going to air, but for you guys, this is just for you two. Start a fast tomorrow.
Speaker 1:I've been, we've been talking about it, I've been talking about some stuff, alright, anyways, okay, that's a whole new thing, yeah okay, x-files. Question number two I hope you're ready, vic, because yours is before we before we continue that he's throwing some crazy shit that I know like. Well now, yeah, now sorry especially what we did before this, but anyways, no cheers, but jacob, yeah, yeah, no, cheers yeah, cheers, I love y'all, but yeah the um.
Speaker 3:So going back to that, are we supposed to be expecting something on the 8th? Is something supposed to happen or is that just kind of like another, like uh sign of something? This?
Speaker 2:is another road man eclipse. Well, it's a it's an eclipse, but this eclipse which is weird, all the eclipses we've ever had they've never told you hey, stock up on food, stock up on water, prepare for power outages and oh, they're saying that, they're saying this right for this one yeah, they are saying something crazy about.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I did hear that and another thing too, is um holder. I hope this doesn't happen.
Speaker 1:I get your toilet paper, that's for sure I really hope this doesn't happen.
Speaker 2:But the three days of darkness if it goes black for three days, stay your ass indoors and read your bible. That is all I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I'm not even bullshit less we can leave it there, say I'm not even bullshitting you, for I'm not joking, keep going, going.
Speaker 2:Next new thing.
Speaker 1:All right, man, this one goes deep. So let's just be really brief on this and let's not let it get into another thing. Did the aliens build the pyramid? Fuck yeah dude.
Speaker 3:Let us know, jake, that could be the last question of this whole podcast, because we'll spend hours on this, because I love this topic, man.
Speaker 1:Okay, yeah, man, they okay. Yeah, don't ask you, don't have no question, right?
Speaker 3:I have one, but we can skip it. No, no, we're not gonna skip it.
Speaker 1:I want you to get serious.
Speaker 2:Go ahead, let's, let's do this, I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna pull something up real quick. Yeah, yeah, absolutely they. They assisted it, but there was something I recently found, uh because a lot of the what is the hieroglyphics right.
Speaker 1:A lot of them are pointing to a higher being.
Speaker 2:A lot of these art pieces on the walls resemble what we would call aliens oh yeah, 100, yeah, yeah, no, they, uh, I believe that the pyramids and they're the way they're aligned, everything like there's so many. There's a lot more pyramids here and even like south america than they're even out there in egypt yeah, you know yeah and the mayan, the mayan pyramids, all there's so many of them. Uh, vic, pull this up on your computer real quick yes sir, uh, uh.
Speaker 2:I just saw this recently. This is called the staircase to harthur's temple in egypt. So which is crazy is, is it's a whole staircase to uh, harthur's sorry hathor's h h-a-t-h-O-R temple in Egypt. There's a staircase. Eric, take this picture real quick.
Speaker 1:Bro, I'm with Vic. I'm dying over here. I know Staircase.
Speaker 3:Archaeologist.
Speaker 2:I've seen this.
Speaker 1:It's the melted staircase.
Speaker 2:Yes, it's made out of granite, bro. Granite melts at 2,000 fucking degrees.
Speaker 3:Say that again, say that again, say that again. Staircase.
Speaker 2:H-A-T-H-O-R Staircase.
Speaker 3:Why does Google not even fill it in? That's crazy.
Speaker 2:Oh really, yeah, that's why Probably not a lot of people are searching this shit. I trip though, because, like granite, granite does not melt easily, bro. It melts at 2 000 degrees. Yeah, and this thing's all solid, freaking granite so what do you think?
Speaker 1:someone walked in there with like melting feet right, I don't know, I just imagine.
Speaker 2:I just imagine like a, a really hot, almost like a sun type of energy, like I imagine there's like a ball like almost someone came in and like went there like to find somebody, some, some different shit bro, we don't even have anything. I don't even think you can get that temperature yeah.
Speaker 1:They say a lot of the pyramids were energy sources to create portals.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 3:This is awesome.
Speaker 1:No, seriously. I've been hearing a lot more about stuff where the water, the way it was positioned with the stars in space or within our solar system, um, create a certain type of energy. The water, the moon, everything has its uh connection and it was this ultimate power source of energy that could power a city, a country well, the crazy thing about our yeah, there's energy from the pyramids, for sure.
Speaker 2:Like they emit energy in some light, in some aspect or used to. Or used to yeah, yeah, yeah, I mean probably still do, who knows, you know.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I don't know. Well, they say they found one of the biggest pyramids ever. They're starting to find more villages based off new technology. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, like in the Amazon. Yeah, amazon, yep, yep, yep. That's just a trip, bro, yeah.
Speaker 2:They're finding places that like, literally, civilizations in the millions would have been and they wouldn't have been able to see them prior to this, because all the dense forest, like technology, up until it's been cut down, they couldn't get anything in there to see these, so they're discovering them as they're cutting these trees down.
Speaker 1:See why me and Jake are here forever, all the time we have these conversations.
Speaker 3:I want to do a special bonus episode of our podcast.
Speaker 2:Just freaking doing this. It would be so sick Me and him kind of chime in on stuff like this all the time too.
Speaker 3:We're always like fuck, we couldn't record this Okay so how did the aliens assist in these pyramids? What was their role in this?
Speaker 2:I believe it as with well one, the technological advances. Two, I feel like they can like think of those bricks, I mean they're stone, I should say not, bricks are so fucking heavy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, that's the whole thing. That's the whole kicker, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:And then there's things that they've seen, that have already been cut to like a freaking laser precision. Like today, we don't have the technology to make them.
Speaker 3:That's fucking crazy.
Speaker 2:That's why it's like wow, you know I love that and not even that.
Speaker 1:the size of these things were ginormous. They say the most common.
Speaker 2:Rosetta Stone.
Speaker 1:The most common one I've heard is that they had a pulley system but still they don't really have.
Speaker 2:I've seen that stuff where it's kind of like this, like, uh, you know making it easy, but how do they get it stacking? And in the precision of them, like I'm like, yeah, that makes sense. But I feel like it's one of those things there's like we can easily be like, oh, what's this? You know it's pretty easy, you know, but it's like, really, look at the precision. How do they even know that they were aligned so perfectly? Like, let's say, if you were to start building it and you're just off by like one degree, think about that one degree. You know that happens all the time. As far as and we'd be like, oh, you really can't notice it, but they're not they don't, they're not like that.
Speaker 2:They're like perfect yeah, that's crazy.
Speaker 1:Uh, all right, let's get into your question real quick, vick my question was more so along the lines of the whole.
Speaker 3:I remember one year I don't remember if it was like kind of a book fair thing or if it was like someone came in and randomly talked about it but the whole amelia earhart.
Speaker 1:I don't know if there's any alien correlation there, because the whole thing just freaking disappeared the Bermuda Triangle, right yeah, the whole Bermuda Triangle, that's what it was. They just came out this year. So they think they might have found it because they've been doing more research and oh man.
Speaker 2:You heard about the plane that went disappearing and they came back. Like seven years later or whatever right. No, it like it would disappear, like the plane, like disappear. They made a whole show On this shit.
Speaker 1:Huh, uh, uh, I didn't hear about that. Yeah, it went. What was this? I know there's crazy stuff, like the Malaysian, Airlines Was a crazy one.
Speaker 2:There's a bunch of things.
Speaker 1:It almost scares you Like man, what if I'm ever on that plane that you're like, hey, why are we going this way?
Speaker 3:I know I'd be like bitch. I just want to get to Portland to fucking hike. I don't want to be in the middle of this freaking, life-changing world redirection. I just want to go see Multnomah Falls.
Speaker 1:The pilot opens a cockpit and comes out, takes his face off. He's really like one of these aliens. He's like all right, guys, we're going to the moon.
Speaker 3:You guys are going to be life changing in the whole freaking universe and it's just like I just want to go Dude what you just said made me think of this whole demon face syndrome that they're pushing.
Speaker 2:Have you heard about that?
Speaker 1:Imagine this the Malaysian Airlines, bro. I know what you're talking about. Hold on, hold on this, because this is the thing too. They say aliens are in the ocean underwater.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, imagine, just hit the Bermuda Triangle and they're like all right, guys, we're going down to everyone. What if they're really calm about it, like hey, don't worry everyone, you guys are just the chosen ones. Full speed into the ocean. Boom, and it goes through a specific teleported area. Now you're living underwater. They say we're in a glass. They say there's water in where, the dome, the firmament, yeah, yeah, as above as below, yeah.
Speaker 1:And that's the demon face right, that's the demon face that the saints by the moon, well, that's like in the Bible, like it's like we live.
Speaker 2:Basically, the firmament is what we're inside of, right, yeah, and and then you know obviously the water below us, but huh um, they made commercials on that. I'm not sure it was like a super bowl commercial I'm sure the sims it was a hennessy commercial. The hennessy commercial, which was like crazy because, like this guy's like in this like spaceship and he's like she's like flying up and then he like breaks the firmament and he's in water. Yeah, I know you're talking about.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's like yeah um man, this is just one of those things you just never know. But all all I feel like this again.
Speaker 2:This is well, if you think about like, like what do they say? Uh, space right, space it out there. What do they call aliens, extraterrestrials, extra terrain Out of space Out there? Words are spells, that's why they're so spelling. It's pretty when you really think about it. How are we able to even fucking explain the fucking?
Speaker 1:I mean, that's the beautiful thing about life, though. We don't really have answers.
Speaker 2:We have to just believe things, what has been told to us?
Speaker 1:I think more so, and I feel like there's a whole lot of lies to it out there. I think it's just as you get older you have to create your own perspective and beliefs and faith in something for life to make sense, to guide you to whatever purpose you're trying to connect to, because you have your views and perspective on life, aliens the universe. Where does that really push you to want to be? Vic has his own things he believes in and has faith in, and he feel like he's falling deep in his purpose right now. So I think that's like life in general has this way of saying hey, this is how you used to think, but we're going to challenge you to open those other doors, to look at life a little bit differently, so it could propel you forward. If that's what you're really looking to get out of life, I want to transition into this.
Speaker 1:Yeah, another question, not a question. I think this is actually kind of cool because we have been talking about things like the Bible stuff. One of my favorite movies is the Book of Eli Love. That movie, bro Jake, has a show coming up April 6th from 3 to 7 pm. The Dream Studio, 3101 Select Avenue, suite 104. Here's a flyer the Book of Jacob. It has some of his artwork. On here you can see an alien, as if Men in Black is in his head. It's just really dope. He's always had this very unique style of artwork. I think you mash up so many dope things. It's a Where's Waldo style of creativity. If you guys are free on April 6th, check it out. Do you want to talk about it a little bit more?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the gallery. It's my first solo show. I've been in a couple of galleries, now it's my first solo show. I'm really excited about it because I've always wanted to have my own solo show and I have this piece I've been working on. I'm like, yeah, when I have my first solo show, it's going to be the main centerpiece and you've seen it like it's been something I've been working on, but I never really thought I was gonna have my solo show anytime soon yeah so when I was like, yeah, yeah, we can get it true for april, I'm like, oh shoot, I gotta you know.

I've dabbled in photography as well, so you can see some of my photography there paintings, digital art, the NFTs, even some sculptures like the 3D pieces too.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, let's bring that out right now. So, speaking of aliens on the Ave, I'm one of the few people that have one of the smaller first versions of these.
Speaker 2:That's a one of three you got.
Speaker 1:Check it out, vic. This is from the 3D printer that we have sitting over there, the one of the ones.

So so we're gonna come to the tail end of this. I I've been. This is gonna be a theme of what I like to do. You're a dad, uh, I wanna, I wanna allow you real quick moment if you have something you want to share to your daughter or your son, that they could always look back at this and and this is something that that gets to stay with them- oh man, I know, hey man, it is what it is.
Speaker 1:Oh man um but but I I will say this about you too, because I just had uh cory on my last podcast great dad as well, he as well, he has a friendship with his daughter. And I know you're still young, you know, and when did you have your first kid?
Speaker 2:18.
Speaker 1:He was 18 when he had his first kid. I'm not a dad yet.
Speaker 2:I always say this Corey was too, you said.
Speaker 1:No, Corey was 19.
Speaker 2:Oh, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1:And his daughter's 19 right now. Yeah, so it's kind of crazy. So, uh, a message to your daughter, a message to your son, it could be something, anything.
Speaker 2:It could be anything literally man, uh, I'm looking at the camera. I love you guys. Uh, everything that I do is for you and, um, you inspire me to be a better person for sure, like man, I don't want to.
Speaker 1:You're going to make me cry, bro. I'm glad Vic's on camera.
Speaker 2:No man being a parent is a blessing. Man Like my daughter, like I want to share something with you guys. Like I got accepted to go to a school art school in LA and obviously those plans changed when I found out I was having my daughter. Uh, so I went to the oil fields and, you know, everything is was a blessing. Uh, in 2010, uh, I lost a really good friend of mine and, um, I was going through like a really dark time and I, I wanted to. I was, I like suicidal, you know, I wanted to take my life and I remember I used to. Basically, I was like drinking like every night and at the time, I was running an organization of like 50 people like that were under me, like young high school students had a first job and I was like running the show, you know, but they didn't even know that I was going through all this like stuff, like mentally, like I was like in my darkest place, you know I literally just left my best friend.
Speaker 2:I wasn't even seeing my daughter, like hardly ever, because I was in another town and stuff and uh, yeah, I wanted to call it. I was, I was, I was, I was, I was, I was a. I had a dream and I've recited this dream a couple times. So I'm basically like in this like room, like kitchen, and I'm like going through cupboards and, uh, one of the cupboards opens up and it's like this like bat kind of thing, it's like flying around, but it's like more of like a has, like more of like a dragon. It's flying around and like what, the? And it's getting bigger, right, so I'm getting scared. I run out and I'm running, I'm running and this thing's like big, it's flying and it's like chasing me right, it's pure black.
Speaker 2:Um, and I go to this big building it's almost like a, like a castle, if you will, and I had like two doors, like two staircases, and I'm going through all these doors and they're all locked. I go to one door that I saw had a light piercing underneath it and I go to that door specifically, bro, and it was my daughter. She was wearing all white and she was on her knees like she was. She was like all glowing like an angel, bro, and she says come to me, daddy, I'll save you. I go to her, bro, I hug her and I wake up and I'm ready for work. By the way, like those days, I was starting my day like at 5 am on a conference call with the whole company of the sales people, uh, of the managers at the time, with the, with the ceo and shit.
Speaker 1:And I woke up from that dream to hop on that call and I'm like damn, I literally wanted to take my life, like just hours prior, like yeah so um yeah well, I commend you, man, for going through things, uh, especially, and I I think I love to talk about this, but as a man and getting through things especially, and I think I love to talk about this, but as a man and getting through things and having to be a provider and also on the end of the struggles that we go through as men to get through the daily things that we have to, and being strong for the people around us, because we're not I don't want to say we're not allowed to, but it's not as socially acceptable to be sensitive to your feelings and your emotions as a man. But I know your daughter, being older, appreciates you and you know you got your little.
Speaker 1:your son's like your twin, asher, and you know that that kid he's a handful but uh, he's, he's just like you, bro, you know, and but, I I know they're gonna grow up and understand a lot more of these things that you've done to to be a good parent and make sure they have a good life. So, uh, with that said, um, a quote that you want to put out there, that you live by or that you like to just let someone else use as motivation or inspiration.
Speaker 2:That's a good question, man. I mean, I just try to get better every day and I try to look at what I did and see how I can better someone else's life, because I understand like people are going through their own things too and I don't want to be a burden to others like anytime you're you're seeing someone and if they're like, I feel like in life we kind of like have these like really emotional times where we don't take out the trash.
Speaker 2:If you will, everybody needs to take out the trash and sometimes you're that freaking trash can for that person, like they're going to shit and they're just gonna dump it on you, right, yeah, um, try not to be the person that's that's gonna lash back at them. You know, yeah, and they're going through hard times too, so you know you got to be a loving light to people yeah, I think everyone is going through a silent battle.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and you have to be very conscious of it. Yeah, I wanted to read this just because we're talking about some creativity stuff. But as creatives this goes with Vic we set goals, we try to do more for ourselves, and this one is something I saved and I really love it. The goal is to turn your chaos into creativity. You walk around like everyone else. You eat, you sleep, but inside you is another world. You see things others don't. You feel things others can't. There are never-ending fireworks inside your mind. If that's, you, take that energy and turn it into something for others to feel. Intensity is a gift worth sharing. The best artists do it. For others to feel Intensity is a gift worth sharing.
Speaker 3:The best artists. Do it for everyone on earth. That makes me want to. Are you done? Yeah, that is crazy. I mean, how many times have you gone through? You're like, as much as I want to fit in or do the corporate nine to five. You're just like we've had normal jobs and you're just like I know that this is normal to y'all. But there's something a part of me I can't play by these same rules. It is not that I'm better, or I just know I'm different and I know, ultimately, you know.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's true, but how?
Speaker 3:do you explain that to people who just have that nine to five area? You know like, and it's just like dog. I don't know how to explain this to you, but I'm gonna get my job done, the exact same way that everybody. We're gonna get to the same place. I'm gonna take a different road to get there yeah but they're so structured in that nine to five there there is.
Speaker 1:It's not the same place and that's why I talk about perspective I mean within a job.
Speaker 3:is what I'm saying Real?
Speaker 2:quick, like the first time I met Eric, like he he remembers it, what, what we were talking about earlier, like how I remember it, I just remember him. Like I don't know your, your, your vibe, your energy, and you're like yo, I knew I could, I already knew you were on some like entrepreneurship when we met yeah, just because, of your energy.
Speaker 3:You know I was like oh this guy's definitely a fucking hustler at the time.
Speaker 2:It's like you already knew I was doing some shit too, like I was doing Cutco still at the time, you know. You know what, and I don't call it hustle, because I wasn't necessarily trying to make money- then, at the end of the day, I feel like everybody has their things they're passionate on, but other people don't pursue them Like. I feel like there's like there's like a fear in in doing that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know what I mean. Like I know a lot of people that are like great at that stuff but they just don't like pursue it in that light. You know, they're just kind of like it's like their hobby, overcoming the fear of comfortability.
Speaker 1:Most people don't want to. It's really hard to talk on this unless you put yourself in a position to change your perspective on why Vic says what he says or why we are in the positions we're in. You don't know until you know, and if you really want to get to where you want to be, you have to just take that leap and you have to really. It's past midnight on Easter.
Speaker 1:We're here because this is something that we're going to be jumping on Vic's podcast after this. It's a passion, it's love. We care about it, and if you don't go about it that way, there's been so many times I've had zero energy and I just keep doing the next thing.
Speaker 2:I don't want to laugh at what you're saying, but when I think of when we were working on Aliens on the Ave, remember that day we had a freaking long-ass day, bro, and we were at my mom's house and we were still working on some stuff, me and you after a meeting with one of our people.
Speaker 2:This is the first time I've seen you and you're like you're sleeping patterns, right, because I was like drawing. He was like there's a time where he had a hoodie on and you're like, hold on, man, I'm gonna get quick, quick napping. You put your hoodie on and I was like, all right, I'm gonna shut. I shut one of the lights off and you got like a quick power nap in like 15 minutes bro yeah and I'm like still drawing and you wake up like hella, energy.
Speaker 2:How long was I at? Like 45 minutes. I was like bro, you were out for like 15 minutes. Yeah, I think Vicky was in it a couple times too it was like some different shit, bro, but that's the passion that you have and you were just on it, you know.
Speaker 3:There's a great line or meme or quote that I saw this and I love it. It says doubt kills more dreams than failure ever will yeah and that it's like. It's like because I'm doubting my, I'm never gonna take that first step, because I'm so scared right and trust me dog. Like you're talking to the number one person who's a friend.
Speaker 2:Like me yeah, like, yeah, we're all I mean as, like you said earlier, like we're gonna judge ourselves too more than anybody else will too. But I'll say this we're talking about judge ourselves too more than anybody else will too.
Speaker 1:But I'll say this we're talking about Pat. I have a very high passion and love for life, and because my stuff starts there.
Speaker 1:Everything I do after that falls into what makes me happy, what I enjoy. The happy roller coaster in life is like this I don't care about happiness. Happiness is something that comes with you doing things that you really just enjoy doing every single day, and that's how I create my days in that way. So I think Vic's happiness is surrounded by a lot of these things that he enjoys. I think a lot of the art show, all this stuff you said I find time to do my art between the logos and the work. That's where you find your joy at and, within those moments, is where your happiness is peaking at its levels of this silent space that takes you to another level of why you do what you do.
Speaker 1:We've been in here for a minute, bro. I want to end it with this. Bro, we've been doing this for a while. We've been rocking in this studio when it's just us for six, seven months straight, focusing on our own stuff, not even trying to push other things. It's just. I believe in you, you believe in me. I appreciate you as a friend, bro, as another entrepreneur, as another creative. Thank you for putting all the time you do in. When I have a stupid idea and you just jump on it with me.
Speaker 2:Honestly, bro, you know, when I get up, I'm like I'm all about that shit. Honestly, bro, like that's. You know, bro, like when I get, I'm like I'm all about that shit, I love that shit.
Speaker 1:You know, like that's cool you know, and I think that's what where we get to offset each other in a lot of spaces, I might I. I don't feel like I'm organized, but I feel like I'm the guy that people come to be like hey, just tell me what to do and we can do it, you know. So I appreciate you, man. Thank you for that. Thank you for for coming on your vic, thank you thank you for for being a part of this.
Speaker 1:Uh, my last positive message um, make your day by making someone else's and be unique by being you. You're the only person that can be you, no matter how many people that try to imitate and duplicate what you have and how you are.
Speaker 2:Um got anything I love that shoot. Hey, uh, man, I can't even. That's amazing. What'd you just say right now? Yeah, I'm not gonna lie, that came, that was smooth, right there I just gotta said that.
Speaker 3:But I always say I always say it, but it's, it's true to my heart, you know, uh, vick no man, I feel like I learned a lot about you guys and your relationship, kind of getting a view from the outside looking in and just watching y'all go and jake has got some crazy stuff.
