Drew Canole and Brooks Allen discuss health, spirituality, and current events including COVID-19, exploring personal responsibility and spiritual warfare. They share insights on biblical prophecy, media influence, and cultural shifts in an informal, long-form conversation.
All right. Welcome to the Drew and youd show, everybody. I got a really dear friend, a brother from another mother. Gosh, we've known each other for about 11, 12 years.
Yep.
Ever since the start of FitLife.TV, the very beginnings.
FitLife.TV.
And if you haven't heard this voice, this is the legendary. Mr. Brooks Holland is here and he is here to educate us talking about turning order into chaos or chaos into order.
Well, it's the lens to identify order and chaos.
And also we're gonna talk about how to build an appropriate commune or a sanctuary to create a village, self-sustaining village today with all the madness in the world.
Yeah.
We're just gonna go for it.
Let's go for it.
Thanks for jumping on, man.
Anytime.
I'm eating right now. I'm eating. I got a raw superfood bar. This is Brooks' favorite. From Paleo Valley, good company. I'll leave a link in the show notes for you guys.
Yeah, they're pretty tasty, aren't they?
Yeah, so good. Dude, this guy. So, long story short, I never had a six-pack, right, until I met this guy. And I know it's a vanity thing, right? But also it's a health thing. Most of the people getting sick today with the quote unquote thing that everybody's talking about, it's from morbidly obese.
Yeah, from being overweight. But also, let's be fair, we were both completely different people over a decade ago.
Were we though?
Well, some of the things that we were chasing were... What were we chasing? Huh?
What were we chasing?
You know, vanity.
I wanted a six pack.
On certain things. He showed me how to get it. It was as easy as eating like six almonds in between meals. I remember this. Drinking copious amounts of green juice. Remember 78 pounds of raw veggies from the farmer's market? Oh my God, that was so funny. And it wasn't even organic.
Yeah, we didn't know.
We didn't know. This was even before I knew that organic was so much better.
We were just carrying literally, we each had 35-pound boxes of vegetables going back to your house with that old synergy, like the juicers that spin around, not the masticating.
We tried best.
Not the slow squeezing, like the super sonic loud that you're- oh, the Jack Lalanne. Yeah, that's what it was.
And we broke. I went through, like, three of those. I broke three Jack LaLanne juicers, juicing so much.
Yeah. Because they're good for really juicy vegetables.
But not so good for the fibrous.
Yeah.
Not so good for celery and kale. Not so much, which we were drinking a lot of it back then.
Yeah.
We felt so good. We were, like, radiating Health. Everybody at the gym would come up to us. They're like, what are you guys doing? Did we work out twice a day.
Back then, or was it just one workout, like, at five in the morning? We did a combination of both.
Yeah, we would work out at five in the morning. I actually met him in the gym that early. I'm like, Wait a minute, who is this guy? Training as early as I am and as vigorous as I am. We gotta connect. Yep.
Cause that was one of the first people you met when you moved out to San Diego.
Yep. And we started working out every day together. And he had a blog at the time. You were running like a real estate blog or something, right?
I did have a blog during the the housing bubble of like 06, 07, 08.
And he was just crushing traffic. So he understood how to do it, SEO and all the things.
Yeah, hindsight's 2020. If I didn't know what I know now, I really could have monetized that. I was offering a great service helping a lot of people, but I wasn't really monetizing it. Hindsight's always 2020.
And that's how it was with me, and the credit and finance and everything that I was up to too. Way back in the day.
Oh, yeah.
And then we shared a similar conviction because we both read the article that kids were no longer going to live as long as their parents. And that's when we became ravid fans of creating content. Walk us through your version of this story because it's going to be completely different than what they've heard from me. But back then, what was your experience of, you know, what we created in the very beginning or meeting me, you know, personally?
Man, it's so funny because I talk about this with my wife. Because again, there's a lot of similarities because I am not the promoter type person. And so you can remember like, I filmed you on a lot of videos, but I didn't really get on the videos. And that was the same thing for my wife who is Natalie Jill, Natalie Jill Fitness. She's got close to 3 million social media followers. So for years, I did everything from behind the camera. 'Cause I never wanted to be on camera. And as you know, that was one of the big things I had to break through, was actually being seen and actually getting on the other side of the camera. But yeah, that was, you know, back in that time, I, like I did for the longest time, stayed in the background. But yeah, I was always, oh, I'll film Drew, I'll film you. But I never got on the other side of the camera that much. I mean, yeah, you got me like.
Which was crazy to me, 'cause you were actually really good on video.
Hilarious.
Well, that's the ironic thing. I saw people like, God, it's like you've been on video for years, but that's our own, like that was one of the big things I had to overcome was, I mean, everybody's got something. Remember Cash Cart? Oh yeah, we'd go in Costco and ask people questions and then give them five bucks, give them money.
Give them 10 bucks if they could answer them. Via video. And now some of the biggest internet videos are the ones where they're giving.
Out like 100 to 500 bucks for people asking and answering questions. We were filming those with a flip cam. Yeah. And we probably just dated ourselves, but a lot of people like this was before your phone had a camera on it. Yeah.
Way back.
For most of them. So there was a flip cam, had a flip out USB port on it, a little tiny like one and a half inch screen and one red button to start and stop.
It was almost easier in a lot of ways.
Yeah, it was simple.
Yeah.
You just take it and plug it into the USB port on your computer because there was only one USB style back then.
And there was no cinematic 4K, 5K this. There wasn't like zooming in, zooming out.
Nope.
It was so much easier. People like long format videos. They loved education. Now it's like 15 seconds and they're brain dead.
Yeah, we have obliterated people's attention spans.
Yeah, not you, not me.
Not us, but the algorithm. Media, I mean, it started with the MTVs, you know, quick cuts, like there's no holding the camera frame on a second, so there's always something quick so the mind would adjust and you got 140 character tweets and now it's memes and We've, as society a lot, we've trained away our attention span. And that's how you can push through a lot of the stuff that we're talking about now. People just see a headline and go no deeper than that.
Yeah, people aren't even reading anymore.
No, they're not reading. And even when they are reading, they're reading to regurgitate, not reading to have their own thoughts, to actually use their brain. We've removed that as well from the system.
Yeah, there's no critical thinking.
There's no critical thinking. We've just taught people how to regurgitate.
Yeah, it's a big issue, especially now with everything that's happening in the world.
Yeah, and the thing is we're a lot of people like, oh my God. And now that I look back, I mean, even so, like this stuff started before we were kids. It's been this incrementalism over the past 30, 40, 50 plus years. And that's what happens is, you know, you have your head, ah, you just, you ignore it, and all of a sudden things happen. You're like, what happened? Well, that's been happening for decades, but nobody cared.
Terminator, dude.
Incremental.
Skynet.
Are you serious, Connor?
So I heard, I watched a video. Actually, this is interesting. You'd find this interesting because you and I both like the Matrix and we like the Terminator series. apparently was based on a book that this woman wrote, and she won this copyright infringement clause against Sony for like a couple billion bucks recently because she came up with Terminator, she came up with the Matrix, and then they basically copped it, created movies that have gone gangbusters. But apparently the Terminator, or John Connor, is Jesus Christ, JC, right? He's Neo, the one who's in the Matrix. So it's pre Neo is John Carter entering into the Matrix, which is like, interesting.
Yeah.
So we're entering this AI, this swipe left, swipe right, quick fix, get the dopamine hit. What's next? What are you seeing up the pipe in all this?
So let's just back a little bit, because this is where the last year and a half I've had a huge shift in awareness. I mean, I was literally two weeks before COVID started, I was in Costa Rica for two weeks. And on one of those weeks, I was sitting with Shaman doing plant medicine ceremonies four nights in a row. Yeah. So it's like I'd gone down this path of all the worldly things, all the healing and all that stuff and thought it was amazing. And then I got back, COVID hit literally two weeks later because the last two weeks of February we were in Costa Rica. Then COVID hit, everything was shut down. And I was like, this just something seems off here.
Could you imagine if you were gone for like a year and then you came back and everybody's wearing masks and everything that's happening?
And I called the whole thing wrong. I was like, this thing's gonna be over in two weeks. But the problem is, is I don't think like somebody that wants to control people. Yeah. And so I completely, until I saw what was going on, it was just nuts. And then there was the George Floyd thing. And it's like COVID basically disappeared for a week or two while George Floyd went on. I'm going, this just doesn't make sense. And it's interesting, but I was 45, but I'd never, ever picked up the Bible. Yeah. And I started reading that, it was the only thing that made sense because then everything made sense. Because scripture talks about good will become evil and then evil will be called good. And really you can see it all through the lens of order versus chaos. Anytime there's chaos, you know what's up. And then it's like looking for order. And it's the more I got into that, it was just, it's like once you see it, you can unsee it. And when you run things through the filter of order versus chaos, you can tell what's operating. Yeah.
So walk us through that. How do you run things through that lens?
So pick anything. So let's take the governor of California.
Let's take Governor Newsom.
Yeah, let's take Governor Newsom, who is mandating everybody stay home, all this other stuff, mandating the business close, yet he keeps his business open. Yet he's out, and again, I could care less if you're a social distance mask forever, but you're telling everybody else to do something and you're doing something else. You're doing the opposite. So when you look at hypocrisy, being a hypocrite, that is not based on truth and order. That's based on lies and chaos. Mm-. And so it's chaotic when you go to the airport and every 90 seconds you're telling people to stay, stay six feet apart, stay six feet apart, stay six feet apart. Oh, except for the six hours, you're gonna be on an airplane next to each other. Yeah. Then you can be next to each other. Mm-. There's no order in that. That's chaos. Oh, and then when we serve food on the airplane, then everybody can take their mask off and eat. Like this is the most respectful virus ever. If you're standing up, you need to have a mask on, but if you're sitting down with food, you don't.
I've seen a lot of memes like that.
Yeah, but it's like if it has to be a meme, but it's like people had to stop and go, that makes no sense. That is chaos. The regulate, that doesn't make sense. So who is behind that? What is behind that? Is that good or is that evil?
Evil.
100%. And you can start running everything through that filter and you can see what's operating there.
Now, is it a necessary evil though? Does this have to be done to bring more people into the light, to wake people up?
I think it does. And there's a graph that I sent to people was actually in the front of, actually I'll put it up here on my phone. just so you can see it. Maybe we can throw it in the show notes as well. It was from the front of one of my Bibles, and it was the John Maxwell. So he's got this little graph here, and it's a triangle.
Can I see it?
Yeah, and then I'll look at it so I can read the world's judge and destroy. So basically, it's got a triangle, and it takes people through a process. So it's going from, at the beginning, it works you up. going God and righteous people in paradise, and it's got the verses in Genesis, and then it talks about things, and you start coming back down. If we all know, one of the goals that they're all talking about is this one world government. And that's biblical. That's straight out of, you know, Revelation.
Chapters 1 through 18. Yeah, eight kings, and there'll be eight.
Massive continents coming together to create one new world order. Yeah, and so if you look at this, and we'll post it in the show notes, but like you come off the top, and that was basically You know, that's basically the New Testament, you know, Acts through Jude. And then you got this deceleration, you got the one world government, the world judged and destroyed, Satan and sin exit, and then God and, you know, the redeemed people in paradise. But we know that they want this one world government. They're not even hiding it anymore. Like Klaus Schwab, who is the head of the World Economic Forum, wrote a book called COVID-19: the Great Reset. I mean, the thing is they're not even hiding these things anymore.
When Obama said it, he's like, we need a new world order.
They've all said it. I mean, going back, and I think that was the awareness for me. I mean, anybody in these positions of extreme power, and this is to realize, it's not political. It's not, oh, it's the Democrats versus Republicans. It's one in the same. It's essentially two heads to the same snake, you know? But it's that, you know, getting to this one world, this one world government where it's all biblical. And now you start, because first I would read Revelation and be like, this is cartoonish. But if you start looking at what's going on with AI, what's going on with transhumanism, when you start looking at some of these things, it really doesn't sound that far-fetched at all anymore. Yeah.
Well, and you guys, just so you know, Brooks is probably the biggest researcher that I've ever met in my life. Like we've tested the Colby test a couple of times and, His ability to research and actually acquire facts and make sense of them is like, yeah, out of this world. So, yeah, you've probably spent thousands of hours looking into this stuff.
Tons. And that's where, so I started, as I started looking at all that stuff when COVID was really hitting and all that, and that was where I wanted more than just reading on my own. So I think I told you, like I started just for my own knowledge, you know, I started taking some classes in seminary school just because I wanted to be able to have conversations.
I didn't even know.
I wanted to be able to go. deeper into that more than you can get from YouTube videos or just reading on your own. Plus, it allows you to ask questions, have discussions, those types of things. Yeah.
So, you've done the seminary classes.
Yeah, some of them. It'll be a couple of years. It's not a race for me. I just take classes as I'm going.
So, is the Jibbity-Jabbity and all the Jabba Walkies, is this the Mark of the Beast?
I don't think it's the Mark of the Beast.
Okay.
Because what I really look at is we have to get to the one world government first.
Yeah.
But when you start looking at, you're going to need a, I mean, things are already moving that way anyway. We all have numbers on our credit cards. Like everything is moving to this place. And that's where I think you got to look a few steps ahead. The vaccine, it's to get people accustomed to vaccine passports and you got to have these things. It's that slowly incremental. And you can just look at history. Like even you go back to Hitler. I mean, it was nine years since really things started to give everyone. I think it's just gonna go faster this time because of technology, because you've got big tech, the media pushing it, pushing it. You know, everything is kind of set up, you know, everything is just gonna go so much faster. I mean, look at Australia. They're 25 short years from basically giving up their guns. and now they, I mean, I've got some close friends down there and they're, I mean, this isn't just, oh, roll your eyes. I mean, they're worried about what's going on.
And you got close friends there. So you're hearing from the inside.
Yeah, I'm hearing from the inside.
What's happening on the inside of Australia? Because I've heard things, I've seen videos, of course, from your friends. What are they saying?
It's, you know, it's moving towards this. this kind of that police state, you know, this government control. I mean, we saw Germany just now they've got chicken wire basically splitting the lines, you know, there's an unvaccinated, but what is chicken wire gonna stop anything spreading? But it's just more division. And if you go back to, again, you go back to scripture, the Bible, you know, there's truth, order, there's love, and then you've got chaos, division, hate, all these things that are rooted in that to divide people.
Yeah, a lot of the yogis from the past as well, and other teachers have said there'll be two timelines. And even the Hopi prophecies have shown people that have kind of connected to some of the pictographs or the hieroglyphics, right? They'll show them leaving their body My buddy, Kyle Kingsbury, talked about this on a podcast I recently did with him, but it shows the pictograph of the humanity leaving their body, like connecting to some type of mental tech world, and then the people of the world are the rainbow people, the people that are here to bring the new earth that are not leaving this place. So, I think it's definitely part of the transhumanism Yeah, because that's what it is.
So you have Indian, like God created man and woman. Like God created all this stuff. And now we have man that wants to use microchips, whatever, to create this metaverse, to create basically a man-made world. You know, that takes people out of God's made world into this man-made world where there's, you know, whatever, control, censorship, all these types of things. Yeah.
I think they know, and Paul Czek and I have talked about this on his show, and it's we know that right now the vast majority of the world has nuclear warheads, and at any given point, they could use them, drop bombs, and then it'd just be a nuclear game over for the entire planet. We can't do that. It's too costly.
Right.
So now we have an autoimmune disorder where America and the rest of these countries are just going to war against themselves. And it's chipping people, it's veing people.
It's a war of information. It's doing it without bullets being fired. And the thing is, is doing it that way, people will willfully go along with it.
Well, it's like an autoimmune disorder. It's like the system's attacking itself. The body, the nervous system, call it the government and the media and everything else, that's like the central nervous system. that can project viruses and all these other thoughts, negative entities on us, raising our stress, raising our cortisol, which creates more sickness.
Yeah, which is basically, so you do that with fear.
We're attacking ourselves.
And that's why I try to tell people, what is the media's job?
Well, there's a lot of money in it.
Right, because I used to say the media's job was to keep you informed. And that's incorrect. Their job is to sell advertising.
Well, you love the media back in the day.
You know, yeah, because I remember. Because I used to be, I was.
You were watching CNN.
You know, I would, yeah, that was, you watched the news. I mean, as I grew up as a kid, like, he had the news on in the car. It was news radio. It was the news. And at the Naval Academy, you got to know three news articles a day, like the news, the news, the news. And, yeah, it really wasn't for me until 2011 or 12, when I finally broke that habit. I was actually out in Arizona, you know, the YPO, Young Presidents Organization. They were, they had hired my buddy and we were putting on like a a Navy SEAL leadership event for them. And because I'd gone through SEAL training, any of these guys, they had me help them out with that. And one of the nights we were sitting there with all these guys that are crazy successful, you know, business owners, and I was kind of shocked. We were talking to, like, none of them watched the news. They didn't read the news. Like, here's all these guys, and none of them paid. None of them paid any attention to the news. And I was just like, I was floored. I was like, huh? And that was kind of my first wake up call. And so I did, I kind of went on a news fast and- Changes your life. It does. It literally changed your life. And I had a coaching call with somebody earlier this week and we ended up spending two hours on that whole thing and seeing like, look, you're going to get back a minimum of 10 hours a week. And you're taking, that's 40 hours a month. That's essentially an entire full work week. Yeah, it's not serving you, it's putting you in fear. You're not feeling good. And now let's replace that with things that do serve you. Let's replace that with hobbies. Let's replace it with books you want to read, skills you want to learn, languages you want to learn, spend time with your family, all these other things. Yeah, but I mean, that's what they.
Did with COVID A lot of people are addicted to it. They feel like they have to be on the cutting edge of the information that's out there.
So they watch CNN and NBC and all these things. They watch all of it. And it doesn't matter what you watch, they're all owned by the same four parent companies, but their whole job is to keep you informed. you know, if you're watching Fox, CNN's the enemy, if you're watching CNN, Fox is the enemy. But that's what it is because fear keeps you coming back.
Fear sells pharmaceuticals too.
100%. And that was a big thing for me because I mean, I haven't had cable in over six years. I really don't watch much TV at all. And I was actually out in Charlotte during the Olympics and we were in a hotel room. and I love watching the Olympics. Back when I was swimming, I worked with Michael Phelps as coach for three and a half years. I qualified for the 2000 trial, so watching, especially the swimming, I love watching that. But every commercial break, there was at least three commercials for, if you have this, call your doctor. And I mean, I was blown away, but I can see how the impact of that subliminally, if someone's watching TV all the time, like, if there's a problem, there's a pill for it. So I could see why so many people up. Here's a problem. We have a vaccine for it, and people just go, oh, okay.
Like, there was no.
No, I'm not gonna get healthy. I'm not gonna try anything. Just, like, give me a pill for it.
Got this. There's a pill for it.
Yeah.
Weight loss pills. I mean, there's a pill. I mean, I can't believe now I heard there's a vaccine for chickenpox. Like, when I was a kid and somebody had chickenpox, you just. I remember that I hadn't had chicken pox yet. And it was, I don't know, first grade, second grade. I don't remember. But it was like there was a kid with chicken pox. So they put me next to him on the. We were going on a field trip so that I could get chicken pox. And I got chicken pox, and I had, you know, red spots and itched and Calamine lotion and stayed home for two days, and then life goes on. So it's like, I don't understand why we start vaccinating for things that nobody's really dying from, you know, it's just, okay, it's an inconvenience, just part of life, but let your natural immunity beat that. And now we're seeing because of that, we're seeing stuff with shingles. There's all, there's like, there's always going to be, for every action, there's going to be some sort of, some sort of reaction.
Yeah, I agree with that. And I think, you know, you've heard, you've actually heard from the inventor of mRNA saying this isn't the right thing to do.
Yeah. Robert Malone.
Yeah.
It's like, why do you think, why is he getting censored on social media?
He created it.
I know.
He created the tech and he's getting censored.
Yeah. Right.
And so then it goes, is that order? Is that chaos? If somebody creates something, is that truth? So anytime there's censorship.
Yeah.
99 times out of 100, it's censoring The truth.
By the way, have you seen V for Vendetta?
I was a kid when that show was on.
I gotta watch it again.
I remember seeing the commercials, but I never watched it. Because again, even as a kid, I was always swimming. I got literally like an hour of TV as a week as a kid.
So V for Vendetta is exactly what's going on right now. With censorship, with Big Brother, with everything.
Yeah.
Gotta see it.
But that's the thing with all these things, they don't hide it.
It's all out in the open.
It's all out in the open if you're aware of it. I mean, I think in some point in time, people are gonna look back and see this as one of the biggest psy-ops the world has ever seen.
It's the biggest one. And it's a genocide, I think. I mean, it's pretty scary, dude, what's happening. And the dreams and the visions that I've had, I'm a big dreamer of what's coming. Could potentially come on a timeline assuming that we don't, you know, assuming I want everybody to wake up, of course, and I want people to call back their sovereignty and their power and work on their own personal immune systems, right, and see through the illusions. It's now or never.
Right, but that's the thing is people, there's really been a war on personal responsibility for decades. because if somebody's healthy, they can't be easily controlled by somebody else. Yeah.
So they put fluoride in our water, which makes us more docile as humans. Like, who are going to be the rebels? Who are going to be the people that stand up against this? What are we going to do? What's the plan?
Yeah.
And, I mean, it's interesting you bring that up because, you know, we were just getting these green juices, and I know you saw somebody, it was. more on the effeminate side. And so again, I go back to this order versus chaos. And if you look at, let's just take for example, and I want to look at this very high level before people want to dive into the minutiae. So in God's perfect order, there's man and woman. Like they're both equal, but with separate roles. But then we started having this, let's just call it like the women's movement. And really it was in a nutshell to make women more like men. You know, you don't need a man. And it was really based around finances.
And 19 sort of 50s programmed men went to war, women stayed home and they couldn't pay for stuff because the men maybe died or were gone. So they actually started working.
Yeah.
And then it was then it was like you don't need a man all this other stuff. Anyway, you had this trend to getting women to be more like men. And then we've also had this other trend to have men be more feminine. We've got the metrosexual, you know, Max, you know, masculinity is toxic and all these types of things. So we have a perversion that's going on. So there was a perfect order. We have roles, and then it's just. And it's been incremental over decades, and then we're trying to get those roles to be reversed.
Yeah.
And that creates chaos. Yeah.
You have all the pronouns. You have.
And then, I mean, that's blown up in what? Like the last literally couple years. I mean, order is there's man and woman. Chaos is 50 plus genders. And now we're pumping that to kids. We're getting elementary school books. Like we're introducing stuff to kids that they're not equipped for.
Yeah, I heard.
But the Bible talks about that profusely.
Of.
Going after the kids. Yeah. Like, that's the enemy's goal because you get them while they're young, their brain's malleable. Just like, I wish I'd learned more languages when I was young. Like, that's a great time you have kids because the mind is so impressionable. That's a great time to pick up multiple languages as well as other things, as well as socialism's great, communism's great, like, you know, all these other things that are based on to me, chaos. I mean, if you like China last month just banned the Bible app. And if you look at every single totalitarianism, communist, socialist regime, one of the first things they do is ban the Bible. So if this book is complete fiction, if this book is complete nonsense, if this book is not a threat, why is every single totalitarianism, communist, socialist regime. Why do they try to get rid of that? Why is the first thing they do is to ban the Bible, get rid of the Bible and persecute people that follow the Bible? Like, they're not doing that with Star Wars. They're not doing that with Harry Potter. Like, they're doing it with the Bible. And there's really no other book that they're doing it with.
Yeah.
And even on BG, Bill Gates, one of his videos a while ago was, let's create a, and maybe it's removed now, but they wanted to work on a jab that would actually remove the DNA that was the secret gene of seeking God. Like the genetic disposition for seeking God.
Yeah. And so if you're the enemy of God, like there's a war, there's a battle going on for souls.
Spiritual war.
Yeah, there's a spiritual war that's been going on since the Garden of Eden. And it started with a lie. And that's always the Tree of Knowledge. That's the, you know, it was, hey, you need, but don't eat from the Tree of Knowledge, because then you'll know.
About good and evil. Which, by the way, on the back of the Apple phone is an apple that has a bite out of it.
Which is showing you the Tree of Knowledge. Yeah, it's that whole thing. And do you know what the price of the very first Apple computer was?
$666. No way.
100%. Yeah, like it's not, you know, it's not a, it's not hidden.
Sage is jumping on Brooks's lap.
Sage knows I'm a dog lover. I've got a bigger version of Sage.
Jay, we're... Jay, can you come grab Sage, please?
That's all good.
You sure?
Yeah, come on.
It's probably hard to talk, though. He's like right on the mic.
Nah, it's good. Right, Sage? Sage just loves I'm dropping truth. He's like, Man, I love this guy.
Okay, so we know that we're in the spiritual warfare and order versus chaos. We hear that. What do we do?
Keep looking at things through the lens of order versus chaos. And don't be afraid to speak up when you see it. wake people up. And the thing is, I try to use that filter of order versus chaos because it's not political, it's not this, it's not that. I don't try, like, that's the one thing I'm really trying to find is a way, like, what's a subtle way so that people are gonna, I mean, that's the whole thing. If you look at the Bible, it's gonna get, people are gonna start seeing it where everything else they've tried doesn't work. So then they'll finally look to faith, they'll finally look to to scripture.
Yeah.
And it just and that's again, you look at the cycle of nations when everything is good. Ah, like I don't need God. Things are good. But then it's in these times like we're that's what we're seeing now with everything's having a code. People are starting to look. People are starting to seek man something's not right. And so they're looking at all sorts of things.
I've seen more and more people actually reading the Bible posting about it 100%.
Yeah. And that's and that's what's going to happen. because they realize, wait a second, this is way bigger than me. They realize that there's something that we have a purpose here. There's something way bigger going on. And the thing is, is when you start reading it, you'll see for thousands of years, it's the same patterns repeating. It's the same, yeah, technology is a little different, but it's the exact same things. you know, and it's going back to that faith.
So speaking of Scripture and where we are, do you think maybe the flood that's in the Bible could be the flood of electricity, currency, that's like actually entering our environment today? Call it 4G, 5G, whatever it is.
I think those are just tools that go along with the big tech. That's just an evolution of TRI of how they reach more people. I think if you look at Romans, Romans 1:18-32, I think that's pretty telling and it's got a history of things in the Bible. And I'm just going to pull up my notes on it real quick, that way I don't mess anything up.
Brooks has become a full-blown pastor, you guys, since I spoke with him last. This is awesome.
Well, this is just where I mean, again, I've had all the books, all the worldly things. And here's the thing, I wouldn't change anything that I've done. Everything that I did worked temporarily. And I guess that's what I noticed about some of them. I think I've sat with plant medicine, different shamans. I mean, I've left the country. I think I've done it 12 times. But then I was really like, every time I gotta go for something external to get to a state or get something, like that's not a true sense of freedom. And it really was, as I started reading this, and that was when really it opened my eyes. And again, it's just from reading. And so like at nights I'd start reading it. It's like really, it is the most fascinating book.
It's a high, I mean, depending on what book you read in it, can have a really high vibration, especially some of the New Testament stuff.
Yeah, and I think that's, and I think, because people ask me all the time, like how to get started, and there's a couple of ways. I would say one, go watch the Chosen. Because it's just like, if we talked about, you know, somebody getting in shape, if someone's extremely out of shape, you're not going to give them a five hour workout, the most extreme diet plan, because they're not going to stick with it. So a lot of people, there's a show called the Chosen. It's an app, 'cause they did it through an app, so they had control of it. And this is what's crazy. The Chosen has, let me look on my phone right now, it was 100% crowdfunded on a pay it forward method. So you can watch it for free, and if you pay, they have stuff from like $14.95 to $10,000. So if you pay $14.95, it lets 10 or 15 other people watch it for free. and they've financed this entire thing that way, not one penny of Hollywood studio money. And it's a class production, I mean, it's high class. It now has 315 million views.
No way.
It's the single most successful crowdfunded, like video movie production ever. It's gotten literally zero media attention. None, because it's talking about The Bible. It's talking about the story of Jesus.
Damn.
Dude.
And so I think that's a great place for people to start is watch that. And then once you watch that, I'd say grab your start with your New Testament. And then once you've watched that, because Matthew is such a key character in the Chosen, start reading Matthew. And so basically, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John are basically going to tell the same story, but from four different viewpoints, from the viewpoints of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. And Matthew is the longest, because you'll see he was very analytical, very detailed, took copious notes. Some say he might have been on the spectrum a little bit, but start at Matthew and just read to the end. And it really is just such a fascinating, you start seeing it, And then, 'cause my core thing with coaching is life is an awareness game. And that opened up an awareness. And then I started seeing everything differently, seeing everything in this battle of order versus chaos. And I would say, I mean, you know how I used to be with the news, man, like, I'm the nicest, most loving person. I would lose my mind over politics. I would get so, I remember that. I would get so, like, I'd wanna debate and fight. You know, this whole thing's gone on. It's probably one of the most stressful times with this. I've just been really in such a state of peace. Yeah. Of seeing what's going on, knowing that my heart's in the right place. And I think that's the thing now is just really helping to wake people up to that side of things.
I love that. So watch the chosen.
Watch the chosen again. That's easy. Because again, because you're binge watching stuff on, I know you're sitting down on Netflix. and you do it every night and you're like, you can't find something to watch. Just go watch the Chosen. And right now, there's. Is it on Netflix or is it on. It's not on Netflix. It's an app. And then you can watch it online or you can cast it to your. Cast it to your TV. From your phone. From your phone. We'll leave the link in the show notes. And there's two seasons of it. And I'd say just give it a chance because again, when they first started, they had really small budgets. But they still did Hollywood level production. But it just keeps getting better and better in season two because the, you know, the money that's been pouring in, I mean, they got 315 million plus views.
That's insane.
I mean, it's really is in like-.
They'll have a billion.
That's their goal. Their goal is to get a billion. I think it's in nine or 13 different languages. And so, because I did, I paid it forward and it's just, it's really cool. 'Cause I paid it forward and then they kind of track and so I get like all the thank yous. So people, no way. Because the money I contributed to it, it allows people and so when they send thanks and then I just get, 'cause I donated whatever, a couple thousand dollars, but it's like I get thank yous from people. So it's really cool, the model that they've done. And right now they actually have a Christmas chosen special because of the app, but they have one it's in theater actually started yesterday for a limited edition run. And it was cool was actually the number one movie in the United States. But don't see it in theaters. It's in theaters for like two weeks, I think maybe a little bit longer. It started out short, but they were getting so many dates filled up that they actually increased the run of it. But yeah, the US box office, yeah, it was number one.
No.
And that, because it opened, that was December 1st. So that was what, a Wednesday? And so yeah, it's gonna be there for like two weeks, but I mean, it's huge. And nobody's talking about it. Again, nobody's talking about it because again, when you start seeing it, you look at Hollywood, you look at all that stuff. I mean, anybody in Hollywood that comes out is, that wants to talk about that, they're done. Their career is over in Hollywood. Wow.
That's why I never made it in Hollywood. Childhood actor.
It's, I mean, look at a lot of them.
Yeah.
There's not a lot of happy endings there.
Crazy, man.
I mean, I had a good buddy of mine that I went through SEAL training and stuff with, and, you know, he was in there, and he was in, I mean, he was right there with Josh Duhamel and Tyrese and Transformers. I mean, he was playing that game in Hollywood for years. you know, and in a sense was doing well and just he saw it and left.
Crazy, crazy world, my friend.
It's a game for souls. Yeah. And, you know, a lot of people will sell their souls for short term. And I say short term, meaning this life, not playing for eternity, not playing for the true bigger picture.
Yeah.
And I think that's the thing, too. Why is everyone freaking out about COVID and all these things? But it's like when you really, when you realize that you're playing for eternity, the 100 years that we're on this, this rock, it becomes a blip. Yeah.
Nothing.
Yeah, it's nothing.
You're an infinite, immortal being.
And then it is, for me, I mean, it just changed so much. We were talking about it changed my clothes, it changed. you know, the things that I consume, the things that are important to me.
Yeah.
I don't see you wearing any Givenchy anymore.
Dude, I sold, I gave, I gave like $8,000 to a friend. You know, if it fit people, I gave it to them and whatever they didn't, whatever they didn't want or didn't fit them, I used the RealReal. I mean, I've sold like $20,000, $30,000 worth of clothes on the RealReal. and it makes me cringe because, I mean, I could have put that money in crypto. I could have invested it. Like, there's so much I could have done. But like we were talking earlier, that was just I was still I thought I needed that stuff to show that I was worthy, that I was enough, that I was worthy, that I was successful because I had, you know, and again, there's nothing wrong with having or liking nice things, but yeah, there was definitely a, you know, there was a phase that I went through.
That's beautiful, brother.
Yeah.
Sage is losing it. We have Christmas trees being delivered as we speak. Awesome. Brooks did this on the fly, you guys. I was like, Hey, can you come in and just record a podcast with me? Cause I want them to hear your story and what you're up to in the world. I know he has a booming coaching business right now.
