There's Sophia. Good morning.

20.1 - 51.846 Erica

Good morning, YouTube. Yes, YouTube. My apologies. My apologies. Apparently we used a thumbnail that was too big for YouTube. It didn't like it, but we did re upload the episode yesterday. So if you are a YouTube devotee, uh, the episode from yesterday is up now and you can watch that. And we're happy you're here. So what day is it? Tuesday. Oh my gosh. March 31st, 2026.

52.427 - 70.707 Erica

We have, um, we have a very newsy show for you. We've got some current events, some news, some fun things. And of course our favorite Canadian news host is with us. We have beach debt. I wanted to say BJ and just start at the same time. BJ.

70.687 - 95.766 Marcela

Chapter 2: How does Trump's executive order affect TSA funding?

143.22 - 167.453 Scott Adams

And so, Because you're all here so early, it's time for the simultaneous sip, and all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or a chalice or a stein, a canteen jug or a flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. I like coffee. And join me now for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, the simultaneous sip. Go.

0

171.958 - 185.06 Scott Adams

Ah. To whoever said first time to come on time for the simultaneous sip, well, now you know the pleasure. Oh, yeah. That's good.

0

188.385 - 189.286 Erica

It's good, all right.

0

190.087 - 190.388 Owen Gregorian

It is.

0

190.768 - 191.309 Erica

I needed that.

191.329 - 195.014 Owen Gregorian

I pity the people who always resisted and never took part.

196.116 - 200.221 Erica

Right? Oh, those poor people. Owen, at least you got there finally.

200.902 - 201.403 Owen Gregorian

I did.

201.721 - 211.731 Erica

So Owen's referring to he resisted the simultaneous sip because he was like, Scott's trying to hypnotize me and you will not win. And what happened, Owen? What happened?

Chapter 3: What are the restrictions on Canadian firearm self-defense?

338.739 - 359.9 BJ Dichter

Like, yeah, you could see in the comments and stuff. But it was just fascinating to see him give a lesson that was 12 minutes long. And then you all took something away from them. And the one I love the best was Marcella, which was who doesn't know this, which is how I feel, too. But there are people who don't. And it was just interesting to see how you guys pulled something away from it.

0

360.581 - 384.744 BJ Dichter

And it's interesting when I was watching it. It was so many of the things that you learn in hypnosis. He frequently covered and he put them into lessons. This was Scott Adams' big innovation in the field of communication and hypnosis was his ability to package. He was brilliant at packaging things that we have known in hypnosis for many, many years.

0

385.445 - 405.011 BJ Dichter

But the way he simplified it for everybody to understand is unsurpassed. You know, he talked about the fear of rejection. And you learn in hypnosis that those are people who are suffering from anxiety. Why? Because they're living in the future. They're always living in future outcomes, right? And there are techniques to fix that.

0

405.391 - 427.282 BJ Dichter

How does hypnosis fix people that are dealing with living in the future? Well, there's an exercise you do when you put somebody in trance where you replay it forward and reverse, and you increase the speed at which you do it, and it just breaks through to the subconscious, through to critical faculty, and then people just overcome it.

0

427.803 - 451.873 BJ Dichter

I don't want to get into too much, but that's the basic part of it. And this is also the things that he was referring to in the lesson that you guys talked about, which was word poisoning, positive state. I try never to use the word hate. Tony Robbins talked a lot about this 20 years ago. If you start with, oh, I hate doing this, As opposed to this is going to be amazing.

452.433 - 476.622 BJ Dichter

It completely changes your emotional state and allows you to overcome challenges way easier. And then the last thing that was covered there that you guys discussed that you just mentioned here were the five why strategy, five to seven why strategy. And I think that's important because that teaches it forces people. into starting to recognize observing ego.

477.203 - 494.352 BJ Dichter

In psychology, they call it disassociation. And that's often what mentally ill people suffer from. And psychopaths disassociate themselves. But it can be a very big tool for those of us who want to do self-analysis. It's what you learn. in hypnosis, how to disassociate yourself from the situation.

494.953 - 513.844 BJ Dichter

And you do that by asking why, why, why, why, why to get away from your emotions and just get into the raw data or the raw scenario of what you're experiencing. So I thought it was amazing. And you kudos to all of you for giving some very insightful follow-ups to Scott's lesson. And I hope you do more of that.

514.027 - 528.791 Erica

Oh, thank you. That's really nice. We did get a lot of great feedback yesterday. A lot of people said they took notes, they're going to rewatch it, they're going to use this, they really needed it. And I just feel like the right lessons always show up at the right time.

Chapter 4: What conspiracy theories are discussed in relation to current events?

528.831 - 537.165 Erica

And Owen, you were saying this morning that you hope people really try the five whys, right?

0

537.5 - 554.546 Owen Gregorian

Yeah, I call it the five, six, seven method. But yeah, going deep into it and keep questioning it and getting deeper and really understanding why you do why you're doing something, why it's important to you. And it gets you a much deeper emotional connection and goes into what you're really after what your values are.

0

554.566 - 561.937 Owen Gregorian

And I think in many cases, it does create a source of motivation that you might have not been able to access any other way.

0

562.959 - 565.903 Erica

And Marcella, what was your feedback like yesterday?

0

567.149 - 592.578 Marcela

Oh, it was great, the feedback that I got. Yeah. Some people were, you know, they always have their issues with my abuse. But either way, I think everybody, if they need that, you know, we can always bring those lessons to them. So thank you, Erica, for bringing that up. Oh, yeah.

593.099 - 594.861 Erica

You know what? Oh, go ahead, BJ.

594.959 - 618.199 BJ Dichter

Yeah, I just want to tack on to Marcella. I think, you know, I loved what Marcella basically said, who doesn't know this? And I think there's a reason for that. And this is my experience spending a lot of time living in Latin America, that those sorts of lessons, they teach you street smarts and the lessons of living what Marcella experienced when she was younger.

618.179 - 640.693 BJ Dichter

Civil War, narcotraficantes, paramilitaries, you know, Colombia is the same way. And we in the West, because it's been so peaceful here, we're extremely gullible. We really are. And I think it's the ability of people who grew up in Latin America under strife. They're not nearly as gullible as the rest of us. And I think that's why they just have a natural understanding of these things.

640.673 - 644.757 BJ Dichter

as opposed to we struggle a little bit of it in the West. At least that's just my perspective.

Chapter 5: How does hypnosis address anxiety about the future?

757.316 - 778.883 Erica

So like, you know, Marcella was saying like, you know, her family is, you know, like her culture, her family, it was like, we just don't do this. Like she didn't say who doesn't know this. She said, I never needed to have to learn this. Like it was already within me, luckily because of the way she was raised.

0

778.863 - 806.541 Erica

But what I love is I think that Owen and Marcella and myself, we are three very different people with different upbringings and different cultural backgrounds, and that we all can bring something different to the same lesson, Scott. And that if you guys could find, you know, like a little something in our responses also that maybe helps you, that's, you know, that's perfect.

0

806.702 - 828.006 Erica

And so maybe it's like a little something Marcella said with the emotion of Owen and then the... sassy chick over here you know waving my hand around like a lunatic you know maybe there's a little something in all of us or one person's resonating with you and that's perfect and then you know that's why I was saying too like you just have to you really have to practice

0

827.986 - 850.078 Erica

choosing the right words deciding to have better self-talk because once you realize like how much meaning words have like i always say you know don't say i'm gonna try to do something then you're allowing yourself to fail just say i'm gonna do it and i'm gonna do it until it's done or until it's right or whatever because if you say i'm gonna try then you're like

0

850.058 - 876.978 Erica

And if it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I tried. No, no, just get it, get her done. So I like that we recap that we are going to do more of that moving forward. You guys, I have a bunch of clips and lessons from Scott and you know, more Scott, more better. But I do want to move over to a couple of fun little things. So one, I don't know what happens if I click this, but congratulations.

877.699 - 898.375 Erica

There we go. So now the West Palm Beach Airport is going to be renamed to the President Donald Trump Airport. Ron DeSantis just signed that in. So listen, another place where his name is going. This makes him happy. We like a happy president. Any comments on that? Yes, BJ?

898.395 - 908.803 BJ Dichter

Yeah, just a little context because my parents live very close to there and I spent a lot of time, I was there for the past two weeks. The thing that's hysterical about that is this has been an ongoing feud

908.783 - 932.293 BJ Dichter

between trump and like the local town council everyone hates the town council but you know they're basically a bunch of commies and so they've been going back and forth for years they would deny him the helipad couldn't fly his plane in like whatever they can come up to make trump's life miserable they would do it and this is another example they put on twitter of revenge is a dish best served cold it's brilliant

932.459 - 937.916 Erica

Yeah, now look what you got. You could have given the helipad, but now you got the whole freaking airport. There you go, people.

Chapter 6: What are the dangers of living in a state of fear and uncertainty?

975.447 - 981.298 Erica

So Caroline Levitt first posted this. And Owen, why don't you quickly read it for us?

0

982.662 - 997.944 Owen Gregorian

Sure. So the New York times apparently had some people that quote studied fine arts. Maybe I'll just read it. The New York times had three random people who have studied fine arts long written about urban planning and never built anything to write an article criticizing the new white house ballroom.

0

998.044 - 1007.758 Owen Gregorian

President Trump and his lead architect have built world-class buildings around the world and they're ensuring the people's house finally has a beautiful ballroom that's been needed for decades at no expense to the taxpayer.

0

1008.802 - 1029.608 Erica

then of course this sparked you know outrage right so here's here's the outrage over the ballroom i wish i could make this bigger i don't you never know with rumble but anyway i'm gonna look at it so i don't know if you guys can see it but they were like you know it's too tall The columns get in the way of the view. The path looks bumpy.

0

1029.648 - 1039.686 Erica

The little stairs go over here to the entrance, but then they have grand staircase that doesn't even go to the door. You know, whatever you could complain about, right?

1039.936 - 1050.431 Owen Gregorian

It looks to me like a fifth grader did this, for one thing. And it's just ridiculous, the criticisms they have of this. Oh, it's very tall. Uh-oh.

1052.093 - 1053.595 Erica

It's not a tall ballroom.

1053.716 - 1059.884 Owen Gregorian

What exactly is the issue with that? And, you know, I don't know. All of it's ridiculous.

1060.165 - 1064.972 BJ Dichter

But you know, Owen, you know what that is? That's called the fake because, trying to persuade in the opposite direction.

Chapter 7: How does the discussion frame the U.S. response to international threats?

1129.891 - 1133.675 Erica

Just to show you how tall the ballroom is. It's very tall.

0

1134.376 - 1139.102 BJ Dichter

Showing a picture of a guy. It's Baron. It's Baron. I know, Baron, who's absurdly tall.

0

1139.763 - 1143.167 Erica

He's taller than the ballroom. Yeah.

0
0

1144.308 - 1146.751 Erica

I love the outrage. It's so fun.

1146.771 - 1148.713 Marcela

Fake Biden is taller than the ballroom.

1149.113 - 1169.116 Erica

Oh, yeah. Fake Biden was amazing. And then last on the fun Trump hysteria, I hope this works. So there's also the release of the Trump library, the AI depiction of what it's going to be. And all I want to tell you guys is that it is also very tall.

1171.099 - 1176.856 Marcela

Oh, there we go. It's showing the video of the Trump library.

1176.876 - 1211.234 Erica

There was a very tall Trump library and Barron is up to the sphere on top. He's taller. I love it. Perfect. So good. I think that was from political Rican meme maker on X. So that was all the fun I wanted to share, but good, good times. Whoo. Okay. So, Marcella, I am I'm going to toss to a news story to you first, if you don't mind, and we'll take it from there. Okay, thanks.

Chapter 8: What lessons can be learned from the various perspectives shared?

1333.814 - 1338.62 Marcela

So that's just my conspiracy theory of the day, but it didn't seem organic.

0

1339.02 - 1363.093 Erica

I kind of thought that too, because Trump, you know, funding it now, like giving, you know, their paychecks has to piss off the Democrats because they, They're so sick, like that they're like, oh, let's just screw up air travel for everybody, you know, have people not have jobs. And then, you know, Trump funding it is like, no, wait, like it's backfiring. So I agree.

0

1363.133 - 1381.661 Erica

And that list of people paying for those that protest was so sick. It was like over 500 organizations paying for it. So none of that's organic, people. So you see those crowds and you're like, wow. No, it's all paid for. Oh, my God.

0

1381.681 - 1407.335 Erica

I'm going to pull for tomorrow, I think, the clip of this woman talking to the people at the protest in Minnesota, telling them, you just need to be – what does she call them – you just need to be like a folding chair. She's like, we, Oh, we need mules. She's like, we already have the brilliant people putting together these protests. We just need mules and we need you to be the mules.

0

1407.695 - 1429.79 Erica

We need you to be the people that are like, here's some donuts for like the people that are putting this together here. We'll do the folding chairs here. You know, I'm like, Oh my God. Like you are literally telling people like, I just need you to be an NPC mule. So, you know, It's all very well funded and corrupt. It's really sad because it's affecting people's lives in the worst way possible.

1429.93 - 1454.32 Marcela

So just to clarify, the executive order signed by Trump yesterday also added $1.2 billion to for emergency funds that are going to be used for security operation, not just TSA. And it's going to help in other operations, not just the TSA service people or officers.

1455.081 - 1460.11 Erica

Okay, good. It's good. That is good. All right, Owen, I'm going to toss to you.

1460.579 - 1487.34 Owen Gregorian

Yeah, well, speaking of conspiracy theories, there's been a plot twist in the Tyler Robinson case with Charlie Kirk that apparently the bullet, the ATF is unable to match it to the rifle that the assassin used, allegedly. And I think it's probably... They're probably stretching on this in terms of claiming that, oh, this means he wasn't the killer.

1487.36 - 1503.883 Owen Gregorian

I think it's common that that can happen, like that you can't necessarily always ballistically match a bullet to a rifle. It's not like every time they can always do it and this time they can't. So it's clearly from another rifle. I think it's, you know, bullets...
