George Bruno with a 21 report. We are at the 21 summit in Orlando, Florida And I'm talking with John Sanmez from Bulldog Mindset We just went through four days of a convention including the inaugural 22 convention for women Welcome to the show. Thanks George Your initial impressions you had Four days of this event. What are your thoughts? Yeah, I mean I'm still trying to process everything It's just been an amazing experience. You know, I think the biggest thing for me is just Seeing you know you we talk about a lot. We're online. We're talking about men coming together Acting like men seeing that camaraderie seeing this spirit of Masculinity here so powerful was is really the biggest takeaway just being in this environment be able to talk to so many people And in the conversations that we're having and you know just being in person There's there's there's nothing that quite matches it There was probably only a handful of guys who maybe never saw you or didn't know you I would imagine that everyone that you spoke with has watched your channel has Enjoyed your teaching for years. So what was it like meeting some fans so to speak? Yeah Yeah, it was nice, you know Especially in a place where where you're welcome a lot of times when I go places if I meet someone or if I'm at a convention There'll be a group of people that I'll talk to but my content is counterculture So to be in a place where I don't have to be careful of what I what I say Where I can just give it to them straight. It was it was pretty refreshing and it was it was just a great experience so yeah In the past I've seen speakers fly in Give a speech Take an Uber back to the airport and fly out one of the values I've been saying for years now is that you're here for the whole conference that you're mixing with people at the end of your stage time You're with the attendees. You're with the other speakers You're building relationships and that's one of the values of something like this One of the things I noticed with you is I'm observing speakers in the past four days is that I'd see you off to the side with a person here there a couple People here a husband and wife kind of thing and it's almost I don't want to say counseling But I saw you guiding people Every time I turn a corner you were talking to somebody and they were just like intently listening You did a lot of coaching over the past four days. Did you? Yeah, yeah, I'm pretty exhausted But you know, that's what that's what I live for and and to be able to to do that You know, I'm gonna give as much time as I possibly can when I'm here because that's what it's about It's about you know helping helping young men, especially to find their way and then now women as well And that's you know, that's that's awesome That's again another another one of the things that you can only do when you have something that where everyone's there Where it's present as opposed to you know, it's it's great. We get information. We talk to each other online But in person is where those things can happen and yeah Talking to women usually men's conferences, especially Awakened men red pill men whatever you want to like man a sphere kind of things They don't normally Talk to women, right? You were speaking to women here What are women dealing with what is the cry of their heart? Yeah, you know the biggest thing and I've dealt with this firsthand and and just speaking to to so many women is that You know the red pill guys are correct that women want a top 10% or a top 5% man. They they want the quote alpha male They want men to become it. That's true. There's not very many out there But they they want to be able to keep one of those guys Because with what we have going on in society today Well, a lot of women are able to have access to a lot of different men But the kind of man that they actually want to keep that's the one that they can't and that's what I was actually talking about In the in the talk the other day, but but yeah women want a strong man She wants an alpha man, but she also wants at the same time for him to to actually have that a Little bit of that softness a little bit for her only Not for the rest of the world and I think that's where things get confused very much I think a lot of guys that are trying to emulate the alpha male type of character They they lose this a lot of the red pill Community and the content that's created is very much saying, you know, don't treat women well Don't and it was refreshing to be here where where there's so many guys that have that the same mindset that I do Which is that we're here to make women better that if you have an interaction with a woman Even if it's a short one She'd leave her better than you found her and she should say wow that experience I had with that man It was one of the best experiences of my life, right? She's a better person because of it and so yeah So women are struggling with that though because men generally don't understand that the men that we are Bringing up a lot in the red pill community. We're teaching them perhaps how to how to get laid How to be strong masculine men, but we're not teaching them how to interact properly with women and how to treat women Right, you know the way I I talk about it is that what happened to the Don wands? What happened to the the seducers, right? That's that's the Latin lover exactly exactly And so women are really looking for that, right? They'll settle for the the alpha male because biologically that's what they're gonna be attracted to But they're really looking for that that guy that gets both sides of it yeah, I was doing some research on Caesar Romero who was the original Joker in the original Batman series and he was a combination of The baggy pant comedian like from vaudeville days like that kind of thing where just like the the fun guy the Laugh the guy that makes everyone laugh at the party But he was also the swooning Latin lover when a woman would come into his presence He would take her hand. This is back when a man could take a woman's hand right and kiss her hand Of course, you don't do that today in 2020 very few guys can get away with that But he was the ultimate swooning gentlemen. Yes, but Men knew not to mess with him, right? It was interesting. Yeah, he was an interesting combination of Lady pleaser lady pleaser and a role model for men right fascinating. Yeah, yeah Yeah, I think that's that's exactly the the way that more men should be and that's what that's what I'm trying to help teach men Yeah, I feel like there's a there's a lacking there So who would have thought that this is part of the bulldog mindset, you know, that's that's interesting. That's great Last night I was talking to a lady I believe she was If I'm not mistaken, she's a blogger who's going to be reporting on this. Okay, and We were talking and I just I said to her You know, it's just really nice to meet you and I put my hand out and we kind of shook hands and it wasn't like masculine hinge it was Like I think when I greet a woman I put my hand like this. I don't do business man I go like that right and they put their hand on yours and it's it's just a gentler type of Hand clasp, right and she said wow. I said What do you mean? Wow, and she says One thing I noticed about all the men here is they've all shaken my hand with intention Her exact words. They made eye contact with me. It shook my hand with intention and And the other gals that were around said, yeah, I felt the same thing I felt like I was shaking the hands with men. She goes, I don't get that anywhere I don't shake a lot of man's hands even though and I never get that masculine feeling for men She felt that here, right? Yeah Interesting Men and women are different. How should we treat women different? How should we treat women different? Different than the way that we are now as as as red pill as masculine men. Yes I would say, you know, I'll give you a good example, right? so a lot of guys ask me all the time about whether it's called alpha to buy a girl dinner You know to pay for her dinner if they should split the check or if they should not buy her dinner at all try to have her buy a dinner or drinks her and What I what I tell them all the time is that you know, if if you want to do it Do it like it's not what you do. It's why you're doing it, right? So if you take a girl out to dinner and You decide to buy her dinner because you're trying to get something from her you're trying and it doesn't mean always sex A lot of times in fact, what it means is approval validation.  I am Then it's wrong If you're doing it because you genuinely want to you don't care what the outcome is You don't care you are securing yourself as a man You don't care if she likes you or not if she does great if she doesn't great But you're doing it because it's your prerogative because that's what you want to do Because you're overflowing from having so much abundance in your life that you you give to other people And that's just the person you are Then it's the right thing to do and but that's a choice that you have to make internally and So many guys are are looking for the the rules of this is how I should interact with women I should never do this always do this like there's an alpha male playbook, right a secret playbook Right, they don't have access to and only if they do the right combination of things do this but don't do that They get very stiff and mechanical and robotic and they're not Acting out of abundance exactly exactly so So they should be acting out of what they what they feel what they want to do and as long as You have your own standards and boundaries and you're acting from there then you now you have the freedom to treat a woman like a princess and That's not very popular when I say that in in this community a lot of times You know here so not as not as much not as it right in a lot of the larger man is fair But but it's very true, you know And part of I think their way that you've developed this ability is is what I call non attachment is is for you to be able to Fully experience your emotions as a man, but not let them dictate your actions Yes, and then to be able to let go and so when you can live life like that And you can only do that when you have an abundance when you have something overflowing from you Then you can have these amazing interactions with women you can fall in love in a Brief period of time maybe even ten minutes, but then you can let that go and not be attached to it Yeah, and maybe it develops. Maybe it doesn't but you don't have to be be the kind of guy that That that is just trying to get something trying to get validation trying to get anything from anyone and when you're that kind of person In general people want to be around you. That's where charisma comes from It's because when people around you they feel like they're better. They're feel like you're not trying to get something from them Yeah, and yeah, I think that's that's how men need to be treating women is is from that place So I'm still trying to come up with a nickname for you Like I want to call you like the gentleman of the the man a sphere And soon as soon as I say the word gentlemen a lot of people think like oh someone who's good with the ladies Mm-hmm. I don't mean it that way The red a red-pilled gentleman is good with everybody Mm-hmm. I noticed that your behavior is the same with men as it is with women You greet men like that like the man that they are right you greet women like the woman that they are It's like you have respect for human beings not you're not being fake with women and trying to be Joe cool with them You are cool with everybody and I just think the mindset is You want to spread that abundance to everyone, right? But if you only gear it towards women then that's more of a manipulative thing more trickery going on You know, and I noticed that you have moved from a group of 21 year old men three guys sitting around talking talking with them at their level to being with some older Speakers to then talking to wives. Mm-hmm. You were talking to wives here. Yeah You're very versatile. How did you get that versatility? That's a good question. I would say that a lot of it comes from from empathy because I've been in a lot of the situations, right a lot of guys that asked me all the time, you know You did this should I do this and my answer is no that was my path so that I could Go and do some of the wrong things in life in order to be able to be here and Be able to tell you the right thing because a lot of guys can tell you the right thing But they haven't felt that they haven't experienced it and so I grew up when I was growing up I was not the cool guy. I was the the nerdy shy guy. I had no Experience or success with women. I was completely afraid to talk to women I had to learn how to overcome those things The same thing just just getting out of my shell just talking to men. I I understand what it's like I've been in relationships where I was blue-pilled where I was treated poorly and so just going through those experiences and and I feel like when I talk to people that That were the same inside and so because I feel like that I I try to look at it and say If I were this person, how would I feel right now? and When I can connect with that then I feel like I can I know what to say and I know how to to act and To give them what they need so yeah What was your favorite stage? I would say the main stage I think the main stage still you know the 22 convention stage was was pretty amazing too is It was the first time in a long time that I got on stage and I was actually nervous Yeah, you know I I wasn't sure I thought I'm not gonna be but I what I was and it was a good feeling To to feel that again and to realize that I think that's when you know that Something something's happened when when you're afraid a little bit to say what you're gonna say That you're saying what you should be saying So the 22 convention stage is a very unique stage because you had single women there single never married You had divorced women you had young women you had middle-aged women And I think there was a couple of grandmothers in there as well So it wasn't like you were speaking to and a lot of wives in there as well right It wasn't like a room filled with single women looking for husbands. There was a broad Range of women in there. Yeah broad no pun intended there. So But your message was for women at any stage of their life Right that was interesting. Is it hard to speak to women in general? I Would say I would say yes Given that the bigger group like like you said there right speaking to young women. I Could do that. I could tell her a message because I know What to say there and I know somewhat where they're coming from But when you have it all combined, I know there's some things I'm gonna say That are gonna hit well in this but it's not gonna hit so well on the other so it's a it's a it's more tough I think to to do that But yeah, it's it was a very interesting experience. Yeah, you weren't here to pacify anybody right right And I think you said it leave them better off after their Interaction with you. Yeah, challenge them a little bit. Yeah, yeah, very interesting very interesting Well watching you for four days getting to know you a little bit seeing you operate with a very wide range of people Has been fun. It's been a lot of fun and For lack of a better term you are the gentleman of the man a sphere and I watched you competent competent competently operate With all demographics and it was great. Some guys are just 21 stage only some guys are only Patriarch speaking to fathers you just moved Seamlessly amongst all the demographics here and it was a pleasure to watch. Thank you George. I appreciate it. Absolutely the gentleman of the man a sphere From Bulldog Mindset a conversation with John Sonmez. Thank you

What's good y'all it's your boy Ross back at it again with another video So just finished watching survivor series war games on stream on the inter clutch page man Shout out to everyone that was there and part of the stream. We had a good time tonight. Yes. I lost my voice I believe I started losing my voice doing the actual Wargames match. Yes lost my voice Obviously I got got turned up for the wargames match because it was it was really good the men's wargames I lost my voice mid-match. So yeah, I'm sorry about that y'all I know my voice sounds awful, but gotta get into my thoughts and opinions on this show This show was fantastic Had a great time and let's start going down through the list of matches One thing I can say a great positive about the show. It was only five matches on the car, bro Five matches on the card wasn't overblown it. It was quick straight into the point and I can really appreciate that So let's start with the first Match the women's war game match between Bianca Belair Alexa Bliss Oscar Mia young Becky Lynch Bailey E. O. Scott Dakota Kai Nikki crossing Rhea Ripley now this match In my opinion, I've seen better women's wargames matches in NXT I've seen better from a lot of the competitors in here The only thing that kind of held this match down in my personal opinion was the botches There was clearly a lot of botches in this match But for the most part I was wrong in the prediction. I thought That the heels was gonna win here, but they actually didn't They made real good use of Rhea Ripley as the enforcer someone that she should really, you know Have to really worry about because of how you know How dominant she is as a wrestler and in her character Um There was a point where Bianca Belair was like pretty much taking a nap during the match And that's the problem with these type of matches people will just sit there and just be laying there the entire match So it kind of you know, it kind of throws it off. You're wondering where's Bianca Belair She had a pretty good showing as well Love that the tables and trash can lids were introduced I just really wish you know, it was a much tighter match in when it comes to like the botches There was plenty of botches throughout this match. They were quite noticeable But overall it was still enjoyable. I love Becky Lynch having her moment coming back in there standing off with Bailey that was a nice interaction her even standing off with Where Rhea Ripley was pretty cool, but ultimately ultimately the match ends when Bianca Belair hits Bailey with a KOD Onto the lap like onto the on the edge where the ropes in the cages She hits a KOD. She falls down between ropes in the cage And then there's a table set up with damage control the tag team champs laid on the table and Becky Lynch jumps from the top of the cage through both of them on the table and 123 pin victory Becky Lynch pin the tag team champs that was a Some people in the chat were kind of like They didn't like how that ended because they felt like the damage control it just made them look weak And I guess you could say that since they did eat the pin there the tag champs ate the pin there It kind of makes them look a little bit weak You know, maybe Nikki Cross could have been the person to eat the pin in my opinion in a way They ate the pin to they got sent to the gulags that that that jumping from the top all the way from the top of the Cage all the way through the table was a beautiful looking spot But yeah, I can understand people's criticism there I don't even know what you do with damage control I was our only reason why I picked the heels because I was thinking maybe real would be the one to challenge Be uncle Belair further raw women's championship at some point, but I think damage control in Bailey They're they shouldn't that they need to be moving on to something else Especially Bailey need be moving on to something else. Maybe they do a program with Rhea Ripley for their raw women's championship She wasn't in the pinning combination, but it was good to see Rhea catch the blue mist to the face and receive the beats Oh, that was glorious. I loved every second of that y'all know I did so Overall, this match was okay. It was a good way to start the show if if it wasn't as many botches and Kind of spots that didn't really look that clean. I think the match would have been better But overall great way to start off the show. So we got AJ Styles versus Finn Balor and I love That they gave these guys some time in the match in my opinion. They started off slow, but it picked up It was enjoyable definitely enjoyable I picked AJ Styles to win this because I felt like AJ needed this win And one thing I did like about was OC was in AJ's corner Also judgment day was in Finn Balor's corner and they started brawling on the outside and went through the crowd So now they're out the match because a lot of times with judgment day matches, you know How they in in screwy fashion so now that they were separated the outside of the match now It's just AJ and Finn and I love the back and forth I love him trying to hit the styles clash on AJ Styles and I love Finn having No AJ having Finn Balor and like the crack the calf crusher and it looked like Finn's about to tap But he was able to Maneuver out of it get out of it like there was a close It was a lot of situations that could have get went either way, but ultimately AJ Styles ended up getting the getting the getting the win here when he should have and I'm glad hopefully This can you know, they can do something more with AJ Styles going forward But I'm just glad they got rid of the outside shenanigans let them finish out the match. It was enjoyable Crowd was into it. I started getting into it towards the end in the right person one here So solid match enjoyable in my opinion All right, the lowest point of the show I think all of us can agree here if some of you may like this match Smackdown's women's championship match between Ronda Rousey and Shotzi And of course Ronda Rousey had Shayna Baszler accompanying her to the ring. Did I care for this match? Absolutely not The reason why I didn't care for it because I couldn't buy into it I just can't buy in to someone of Ronda's caliber of a of a physical, you know, competitor losing to Shotzi I just can't buy into it That's and that's the problem when booking someone like Ronda and to be honest with you Like Ronda's past few matches have not been that enjoyable mainly because it's a combination of her not being as as good as she should be in the ring or as well versus then her competitors not really being able to like I guess I don't know in a sense like it's not it's like their their matches are not missing like Ronda and In Charlotte they can have a good match Ronda and Sasha they can have a good match in my opinion You know saying I even think she could possibly have a good match with Becky But it seems like some of these other people lately And I'm just going off a late the past few matches They just haven't been that good and this is more or less the same. There's some boxes here I don't really like Ronda's armbar. It does not look good because you can see You know the person's arm is just like this. It don't look good So I don't know it's the moves don't seem as fluid as they should be Someone made an interesting comment on stream. It seems like Ronda Rousey Was doing so much like when she first came into the company She looked better in the ring than she does her second go around which is crazy to think so I don't know but uh We all know Ronda was winning here retaining here.  Some of you guys may have enjoyed this match That's cool. That's awesome. Me personally. I just did not care. I didn't care when Shotzi won I would be more interested in Ronda and Raquel even though we've seen Ronda and Raquel have a match That's when Ronda was a baby face. I would be more interested in it now Since ronda did attack Raquel uh on smackdown So maybe they could build a feud off that that I would be more interested in and I could possibly buy A little bit more because Raquel is she's uh, she's a pretty big woman and uh It looked like she could somewhat handle herself in a storyline wise Against ronda rousey. So we'll see what goes for it. But smackdown they need some help in that division They need somebody that can combat ronda outside of biggie lynch right now And they don't have that person other than Raquel. Maybe if charlotte comes back But I don't want to see charlotte and another title opportunity not not so quickly at least not now All right This in my opinion his next match was when we first watched it at the time It was match of the night and some would say this could be Match of the night the united states championship match between austin theory seph ralands and bobby lashley This match was great. I called it when they announced it on monday this past monday. This was fantastic This match had everything I wanted it to have You had austin theory trying to show everybody that he's changed and he's in he's in a different mode You have bobby lashley. He's turned it up to 11 ever since brock lesnar Attacked him and caused him to lose the united states championship. So now he's in a different mode He's all about sending people to the gulags with the quick list and you have seph ralands is seph freaking ralands He's at the always at the top of his game. This match was great. This was so fun It was a lot of high spots back and forwards. I love this if you haven't seen the match go watch this This is just fantastic fantastic One of the sequences I love Is both bobby lashley and austin theory They are like on their knees. They're set up for the stop seph ralands Pretty much jumps on austin theory's back as leverage and hits the stop to uh, to bobby lashley That was such a cool sequence in a different way to effectively use his finisher that shit was insane And towards the end of end of the match like um, we went towards the end of match It was another spot seph ralands is out of the frame. He's like outside the ring or whatever. You can't see him So bobby lashley has um austin theory and his hurtlocker submission And obviously, you know austin theory fine tries to get out of it So he uses his leverage from the turnbuckers to flip him over Well while he's in a pinning combination. He still has a hurtlocker, but austin theory has his shoulders pinned Seph ralands come from the top rope out of nowhere and hit the frog splash on the bobby lashley Why he has a hurtlocker applied? Fantastic spot as well bobby lashley having both seph fin austin theory and hurtlocker was a cool visual too But the crazy spot of the night, which is out of nowhere loved it is when bobby lashley Pretty well actually no We're uh seph ralands is doing the falcon arrow it goes from the top rope hits the falcon arrow or whatever And he pretty much i want to say i'm trying to remember the sequence bobby lashley ends up Like he has um He has austin theory up in an upward position bobby lashley hits seph while he has austin theory up in an upward position He's he spears seph ralands and then they fall And austin theory was able to roll over at the last second to cover seph ralands for the one two three Victory it was one of those situations where he was at the right place at the right time And he is the united states champion once again. I loved it. I loved it No one came out looking weak in this situation bobby lashley really didn't get a chance to even get into the pinning combination He just ended up spearing seph ralands or what not who happened to be performing another move on austin theory austin theory was at the right place at the right time man That shit was chef's kiss amazing And it it worked because it came out of nowhere austin theory is the new champ and i'm looking forward to seeing what they do with him now It felt like they did a big reset once he dropped the uh money in the bank Tripoli's did a big reset on austin theory and i'm interested to see where they take him moving for it I felt like if you have austin theory change his character like this It only makes sense for him to win this match. So that way you can really expand his character That's why I said that I'm glad to match any of this way either way Very fantastic match at this point before we seen the men's war games match. This was the best match of the night So now we get to the men's war games match the bloodline Versus the brawler bruce shameless butch rich holland drew mac tire kevin Owens not throughout the night The story was Can they trust sammy zane? Snitching jay uso because he was definitely snitching went to roman He told him what happened on friday night Even though roman can literally just turn on the tv and he wouldn't have saw what happened on friday night But i guess roman doesn't watch smackdown when he's not there whatever So snitching jay and went to roman like yo He was talking to kevin owens and then he lied to me about it So roman's like i'ma talk to him you do your part i'ma go talk to him. I don't know if he's lying I can tell i'll know if if he if we can trust him on that so sammy comes in later on in the show. He was you know roman basically said yo tell me what happened And sammy told him the truth and he was like well why you lie to jay? He told him well jay doesn't really rock with me anyway So if i would have told him he wouldn't have been in the right space Anyway, when it came to our match later on that night, which jay is making uh sammy's making a very good point here Whatever he's like bro my allegiance is with you So he's like all right cool. We're gonna go out there handle business like they hug roman has this look of concern Like he's he's talking to him but he's concerned so the match start and pretty much jay is catching the beats because uh brawlin berutes, you know butch um Same as butch rich holland drew magnatown Kevin knows they have the the man advantage in the word games match And what made this match so good? This was more so story driven You can tell we were invested more in what the story of sammy zane and what's gonna happen here And that's what made this match even that much better So jay's getting the beats. It's time for one more member of the bloodline to come in You think it's gonna be Jimmy and I like that they were switching up the you would think Who would come out next but they would kind of swerve you on there. I appreciate that roman holds back jimmy sammy you go out there I was okay now now we're getting into the story bad So sammy has to go out there and save jay, right? So it goes out there Obviously sammy catches the beats too. He saves jay a couple times or whatnot and as as things start going You know more people start going into the match or what not? It's always the brawling brooch sammy's butch rich holland all them drew Kevin knows they always ended up having an advantage obviously because of the extra man advantage They won on smackdown So the bloodline would get some type of momentum, but it would always come back to them catching the beats ultimately And there was a couple there was a spot here where um Sammy save jay. He's like brah. I got you and then there was another spot where um jay ended up super kicking sammy zane or what not he didn't feel sorry about it And there was another spot where sammy and and and jay They're getting back and forth from setting up the table like they're really building this story here So finally roman fast forward roman gets into the match, right roman gets into the match Roman is charging up, but then he started having issues. They started jumping on roman I love the spot where everyone was taking the the beats to the chest That's it all the blood bloodline members was just catching the the the stiff beats to the chest on the ropes I thought that was a beautiful spot, man Um, I love what they did with solo sequoia coming in here as the real enforcer He was wrecking shop You see roman reigns smiling in the back in the cage because solo sequoia definitely showed out tonight That was a beautiful showing by him so We get towards the end Where kevin owens pretty much locked eyes with roman reigns, you know There they have some great history, man Their matches they had i want to say it was last year. I could be wrong I think it was last year when roman was really early into his title reign The matches they had were so god dang good. They were fantastic fantastic matches between roman and kevin owens last year, um So they have they their little stared out and they start going at it or whatnot and there's one moment where that boy kevin owens It looked like he was about to win. He hit him with the pop-up powerbomb He hit him with the stone coast stunner. You think it's over kevin owens is about to get the pin on roman reigns One two sammy zane stops the ref So and they were teasing it throughout the match sammy and kevin owens interacting with each other to the point But it would always it would always end prematurely because someone else would get involved, right so i'm like, all right cool bet bet bet Now this is the moment kevin owens sammy zane course crowd is pro sammy zane calling him um, uh, sammy, uh, you know the ousi chanson um, um sammy uso proud love sammy zane in this in this uh in this match They're having their conversation roman's on the ground kevin owens like yo, this is your family. This is your family. This is this is kevin owens like yo This you don't really do this For him and then all of a sudden I don't know if it was jimmy or j. I think it may have been jimmy tried to hit the super kick on him. I could be wrong He tried to hit the super kick on kevin owens and then kevin owens hit him. I mean, um sammy zane hit kevin owens with a low blow Hit him with a low blow He goes to check on roman sammy zane sammy uh roman gives them the acknowledgement like do what you gotta do sammy zane goes to the corner hits kevin owens with the hallouva kick And then as he catches him and lets him fall to the ground Then he gives j. Usso the knot.  Go ahead. I'm showing you.  So after that um roman embraces uh kevin uh roman embraces um sammy zane They embracing you know, they hugging or whatever and this was a cool moment which we didn't expect Jay Goes over there and hugs sammy zane crowd goes crazy. I was shot j actually Finally acknowledges him as part of the family j goes over there hugs sammy zane sammy zane's turn Then sammy zane does his little cool handshake with jimmy That's that it was it was great, bro. And everyone acknowledged him as part of the family. He's part of the group sammy ripped up with a shirt. He's turned up and it was great and I love what they're doing here because they're They're they're planting the seeds That way now it seems like everybody's on board and when they turn on him, it's going to be Glorious, you know, it's coming. We thought it was gonna happen tonight, but there are folks pointing it So I'll be interested to see what they do But yeah, this was great This to me is a match of the night because of the storytelling alone This match was fantastic the stories of sammy Pretty much trying to show the bloodline his allegiance and roman and everyone else Trying to really figure out is he with them like we're trying to figure out as fans Are they gonna turn on sammy? Is this the night they turn on sammy or Or is this night sammy turns on them the stories and the questions you had in your head We're just running through this match and that's what made this match even better.

Hey, welcome back everybody. This is the anxious truth podcast episode number 203 entitled what does your anxiety support system look like those of you who are new to the podcast? I am Drulence a lot a creator and host of the anxious truth This is the podcast where we cover all things anxiety and anxiety recovery So if your problems are panic attacks panic disorder agoraphobia, you are here in the right place I am glad you're here. Welcome. And if you're a returning listener or viewer, of course, welcome. You're always welcome here Thank you for coming back. So today, we're gonna talk about your anxiety support system And we're probably gonna talk primarily about online support because that's sort of the arena that I'm in But we're gonna talk about support in general What does your support system look like and kind of misconceptions about what people think support is supposed to be? Especially in the beginning of recovery now before we do that, you know what I'm gonna do I'm gonna remind you that the anxious truth is more than just this one podcast episode There are three really excellent books and anxiety and anxiety recovery that I have written and published And they seem to be helping a whole lot of people one of which is completely free if you want it There's 200 other podcast episodes There's a ton of social media posting and presence and then there's the morning lose newsletter called the anxious morning Which is a short little email Little essay on anxiety recovery delivered into your email box every weekday morning There's also a corresponding little morning podcast with that all of those resources can be found at the anxious truth calm as Can all the ways that you can support this work if I'm helping you in some way? And you want to find a way to keep this ad and sponsorship free, which is my goal You want to find a way to support the work? You can find all the ways to do that at the anxious truth calm slash support Never required always appreciated. I appreciate all you guys no matter what you do Anyway, let's get on to the topic at hand We're gonna talk about anxiety support like what does your support system look like now? We all know that we kind of you know, everybody should have a support system, right? This is not news For some people that are kind of isolated it can be difficult Maybe you don't feel like you have a support system and that that's a little bit of a different animal We could talk about that another time but What does your support system look like let's start with the misconception Especially early on when you first get into this journey and like if you're new if you just stumbled upon the anxious truth today Because you're dealing with panic attacks or you're agoraphobic and that sort of stuff You're dealing with anxiety problems And this is the first podcast episode you're ever gonna listen to because you sort of accidentally found me on YouTube or something Then this may pertain to you a lot of people think that support Those are the people that you go to your support system is there to soothe you and calm you and Help you ground and make you feel better and tell you that everything is gonna be okay, right? That's what support is right Well, not so much like in this thing that we do where everything is like up is down and black and white black is white And it's topsy-turvy and counterintuitive That's not really the best support now.  Well, your support system can provide that there's nothing wrong with that at all however That thing where we will expect our support people to soothe us to make us feel better to calm us to rescue us To just keep telling us again and again and again and again that we are really okay No matter how many times we ask That's not really building a great support system So you may have that in your life and that's you know great that you have people who care for you and love you and want to Be there for you and I think As far as the point of view of those people like our support people they probably want to do that So it would be like, you know pretty common for our support folks to want to be that they you want it You know, I would they want to tell us that it's gonna be okay. They want to sue this They want they don't want us to suffer. They don't want us to feel bad. They want to make us feel better They want to fix it. They want to prop all of those things So it could be really easy if you think that that's what support is supposed to be Like I I demand that you make me feel better and soothe me and tell me once again that it's only anxiety And I'm gonna be okay Then you better do that like that's what support is right and they may feed into that and think well I love you so of course I'm gonna try to make you feel better But that creates kind of a weird situation where you're just getting this continuous stream of support air quotes But things aren't really changing for you So if you find yourself in that situation, let's relook at what your support system should really look like now This is especially by the way prevalent online.  I probably not supposed to tell you.  How do I get rewarded? I get rewarded with subscriptions on YouTube and follows on on Instagram and people who like my page on Facebook and an Engagement and all I get I get rewarded with eyeballs Google thinks they're rewarding me with eyeballs. You know views and attention. That's not what motivates me But in that world that is the reward that the creator gets Because theoretically if you're in this to just do nothing but make money from people's attention The more attention you get the more eyeballs the more glue that you able to stick people to you as a creator and influencer The more money you can the more you can monetize that So that is what the system is set up to do So the system is set up that way so that from a creator and influencer standpoint I would I'd have a much larger audience.   We understand we hate this Come here. Let me give you a hug. That's okay. That's part of it. It just can't be all of it So when you are looking at it building a support system It's now you don't have really too much of a choice in real life because you can't pick your family You were born with them and and your friends you kind of already have you just can't manufacture new friends instantaneously in real life But online you can choose where you go So what is your support system look like online in real life you when you start to realize that? Really the best support system is one that is a cheerleading support system. It's an encouraging support system It's an inspiring support system that system is there to prop you up and help you realize just how capable and strong you are To cheer for you and remind you you're gonna have to do some hard things and we know you can do it We're here cheering for you while you do them that is the most recovery focused support You can have in this process of course that support system also has to be there when you need a shoulder to cry And you just need a place to vent or rest for a minute has to serve that purpose too But that can't be its only purpose or its primary purpose So you may have to start to once you realize this accept this and and really really accept it like okay This is really what I need to help me get better Well, you can start to retrain your friends and your family and then you also get to pick You know the type of information you consume online if you are consuming anxiety and mental health information all day long That just validates again and again and again that it's hard. We get it. It's hard We all know this but if that's all you see all day long is the struggle and the struggle and you know It's okay to not be okay. Those messages do matter We need to be validated, but they can't be the primary thing that you have hammering you all day long Like I feel so can you tell that I feel pretty strongly about this because I'm kind of bordering on rant right now Ten minutes in like that's really good for the content creator.  That's not why I got into this.   You know leads you in a recovery focused direction Are you primarily consuming information that validates just how hard this is and and how miserable you are and Everyone else is and oh one day. I hope we will overcome this if I hear that one more time. I'm gonna lose my shit so Be careful about the information you are Consuming like let find things that will educate inspire encourage you motivate you all those things consume those two I would say consume those primarily that you might think this is really self-serving because I kind of think that's the content that I'm producing but okay This is my podcast and there's a reason why you say that so try to consume that information Primarily is your support system, but on the flip side in a social community where you want to interact with people Who are you interacting with are you in a community online that does nothing? But commiserate and share symptoms and talk about how hard it is and compare ways to Temporarily soothe fear that only last two days and you're back looking for soothing again Is that the function of the community or are you dealing with people? Are you surrounding yourself with people who are willing to motivate educate inspire encourage prop you up cheer for you? Be there when you stumble because we stumb we all stumble But but cheer for you to get up and try to run and if you fall we'll catch you that's okay Like we're all doing that for each other. That's the place that I would strongly suggest you try to be It makes a difference so who are you surrounding yourself with you can't pick your friends and your family But you can start to talk to them and ask them to treat you differently Online you can a hundred percent pick your friends so you can completely decide where you're gonna hang out And I would strongly suggest that you begin to your support system start to surround yourself with people in the cyber world Who the hell uses the word cyber anymore, but in that world in the online world surround yourself with people who are not only Trying to recover but are doing the work of recovery Like surround yourself with people who are actively recovering so that you can actively cover recover along with them And you can cheer for each other and prop each other up Right and and inspire each other and learn from each other and model the behavior of each other like that's super valuable It's probably the best recovery thing that we have on the internet So avail yourself of it if you can So the quite the name of this podcast is what does your support system look like?   Where are you spending your time? Who are you giving your attention to? If you want to become a better racquetball player, I was told many years ago by a dude who was 30 years older than me at the time and Stook me to school. I'll never forget Frank Patton challenged me to a racquetball match I was a young snot nose with a resting heart rate of like 50 I thought it was a great racquetball player and he Kicked my ass up and down that court I'll never forget and he looked at me he said you want to get better son play with people that are better than you And guess what that applies if you're a musician if you're learning languages Anything if you're an artist hang out with talented artists If you want to be a guitar player hang out with good guitar players If you want to learn to speak french hang out with french-speaking people and if you want to recover hang out with recovering people Those are your people That is what your support systems should look like now I happen to know a place currently located on facebook where you'll find a lot of that Just saying and those of you who are in my facebook group will attest to that I'm incredibly proud of that group of now 8500 people for what that is And you know my admin and moderating team. I love all of them dealie have a lot to do with that But find play find the people who are doing the work and then go hang out with them and do it with them And and and root for each other and prop each other up and you need to that's a good support system And then you can work on your real life support people too. Hey, I need you to not coddle me I need you to just remind me that I can do this, please That's the best support you're going to get it's the most recovery focused support You're going to get so look for that and build that and cultivate that you can you got a choice Make good choices advocate for yourself hang out with people who are going to help you get down the road And there you go That is episode 203 of the anxious truth. I hope it has been helpful I do understand that it was a bit of a rant for sure But that rant has come to an end and you know it's at an end because music That is afterglow by ben drake As I play at the end of every podcast episode find ben and his music at ben drake music.com If you have comments and questions about this podcast episode Ask me in the facebook group comment on instagram comment on youtube.

We're done for this week. I'll be back next week I do not know what I'm going to talk about, but I will be here as always So keep your eyes on the prize keep moving forward and remember as always that this is the way


So we're here for Jurassic World Evolution, I was wondering if you could sum it up in 20 seconds or less for our audience who haven't played it yet. It's an opportunity for you lovers of Jurassic Park and Jurassic World to be the owner and manager of a park, of the park. And make dinosaurs and be involved in every bit of the process of making a Jurassic Park. What do you think of that? And then you'll hear from me, I have a word of advice and guidance along the way here. Do you have any sort of trick or hint for first time players picking it up that they might not realise at first? One thing I would definitely say is check on your fences all the time. It's always worth checking on your fences because you never know when there's going to be a hole that just appears and I'll know where on them. And one thing that happens is you go throughout the game, you can upgrade your fences. You can make them stronger, you can electrify them, you can even get concrete fences later on in the game. And that's really important because if you go throughout the whole game with these kind of chain link fences, the bigger dinos will just smash straight through those. If you look after your fences, your fences will look after you. That's right, the rest of it will look after itself. I think the designers have done a really good job actually and if you've played the demo or if you're going to play the demo, you'll find out where they hold your hand at the beginning and then slowly release it until you're comfortable with it. I think it's probably better than any tips I can give straight away. I think just head long in, head long in, drive that jeep, watch out for the beautiful animations. Rangers' things are very important. You need them to pretty much everything in the park. They fix things, they restock, they look after you dinosaurs. I think to be honest, it sounds silly but the more dinosaurs the better. The people coming to your park really want to see dinosaurs. So even if you've only just managed to get a viable genome for one new dinosaur, it's always worth pumping out a few, not least because they want to socialise with one another to stay happy as well. But also, the more dinosaurs, the more people they want to come to your park. So I would keep on finding new dinosaurs, keep on digging for new dinosaur fossils, but always try and pack out your park with more and more dinosaurs because that means more guests and more money. I think the main thing is that you're trying to look after the dinosaurs but obviously people might want to try and mix it up a little. So one thing you can do is you just place down your one current creation lab, have a big enclosure around it and then just keep releasing different dinosaurs in there and see what happens. You don't even need to put a fence on that if you didn't want and just have a big open park. So it could be like a giant safari. One of the things I was experimenting with in one of our playthroughs is we just have a small area where the humans are and just let the dinosaurs roam all around the rest of the island. So the humans are almost in like a little enclosure? Yes. So you can turn the tables and following the different divisions helps give you different aspects of the game that you can play through. For me it's just a game purely to have fun and it's a game where you can't do anything wrong in a sense because it should be experimental. It should sort of bring out the child and you should just play with it. If you're doing something that feels right then do more of it if you want to or break it and go down another route. It's a game of, the game has three main threads and it's a really good idea to swap between them just to get a feel of what your play style is and so if you're into doing a traditional theme park where you want to get guest satisfaction you go with that or you can swap to the scientific route and a lot of it's rooted in reality so you learn stuff as you go to. Yeah, that's my top tip to just play with it. So you've mentioned how important the fences are how we don't want the dinosaurs to plow into all the guests but I want to know how to create maximum carnage. Well, okay, so there's a number of ways you can do that. No fences is obviously an option but I guess the one way to really ensure maximum carnage is to actually build a good park to start with because then you're going to have a really popular park you're going to have lots of people and I guess that's when the most potential for the most carnage is.  You can close off paths so the guests are stuck. There's all sorts of things you can do. I guarantee you that a lot of carnage will take place if they do these things. I would love to know what the sort of funniest or strangest thing you can put in your theme park is or that you've seen happen. So well it's really interesting when you have a lot of the smaller faster dinosaurs because they're quite harmless dinosaurs by nature little herbivores, struthemimuses and things like that but if they escape they're really fast so they can like plow through a whole load of guests really quickly and you see kind of guests kind of toppling here and there and it's like wow they're almost as deadly as the T-Rexes to be honest when they get out so yeah they just run away and yeah that's definitely something to be seen when a whole load of struthemimuses escape.


The vast cascade of seemingly insignificant decisions and actions, led you to this specific episode and channel. If you ever become rich and successful, remember to thank Royal AI. What's the craziest butterfly effect that happened to you, because of a small decision you made? My desire for pizza set off a chain reaction that destroyed my family. One day got home from school and really wanted pizza. My family was poor, so spontaneous food trips weren't always in the cards. Really worked my pouty face to my mom and begged to go to the local pizza place for dinner. She said all right. While chilling there I saw my uncle walk by, and I was like WTF, Uncle is that you? Now you might say, well he wanted pizza, what's the big deal? Well he lived several states away so to arbitrarily be in town and not tell anyone was strange. Turned out he was having an affair with his sister-in-law, my aunt on the other side of the family.  One thing led to another and everyone hates each other now. We haven't had contact in like 20 years. I just wanted some pizza. The first day I ever signed up for internet back in 1999, I installed Merck, because it was on the starter disk my ISP gave me, and joined a random chat room. Over the course of the next year the regulars in that room became like family to me. We would talk about everything. All that practice made me a fast typist and way better communicator than I was before that. They would even help me when I had trouble understanding something in my college classes. I also met my husband in that room, and we've been happily married for 18 years. Others from our little IRC family are married, too, and we still keep in touch. All because I randomly chose the chat room that day. So a few years back, I lived in Nice for a while, in south of France. As a musician I would make a bit of extra cash busking, and on Bastille Day, I figured I'd go and busk at the promenade d'Anglais by the sea. It's usually packed, and it's just a generally pleasant place to be. I set up, played a couple of songs and was doing pretty well and making a decent amount of money. Then suddenly not one, but two of my guitar strings snapped, I even remember I was playing the scientist at the time. I was massively gutted and decided to cut my losses early. I stormed off home, by the station, in a bit of a sulk at having to restring my guitar and cutting short what was essentially one of my most productive days of busking since moving there.  It was 2016. The truck drove into the same crowd I was playing to, killing 86 people, including my at the time girlfriend's uncle. I had two other friends who were amongst the 458 injured. I moved home the next month because it was too much, and haven't been back since. It's hard to explain, sometimes I think I was super lucky, sometimes I just kind of cry and wonder why I was lucky and others weren't. It's surreal, and despite what people think, it's a truly horrible feeling. In Afghanistan, wasn't done with my coffee, so I passed on a trip from one base to another. Since there was another convoy a few hours later. Almost everyone died who took the first convoy. My second cup of coffee wasn't even cold when I found out. I had to call my heart surgeon to give him my new insurance digits. I had only just gotten them because the person who had them had the flu and was not getting back to me. As soon as I got my numbers, I called the surgeon, the receptionist said, Hey, we just had a cancellation for this Friday, do you want it? Of course I wanted to get it over with and not wait another month. So I decided to take the open heart surgery cancellation appointment, a month before my actual appointment. Surgeon said thank goodness I did, because once he got a look inside, he realized I would not have survived to the original appointment date. So, if the insurance lady didn't have the flu, I would have gotten those numbers a lot sooner, and never gotten the offer to have the surgery when I did. Someone else's flu saved my life. When I was in eighth grade, 13 years old, I had a really long bus ride home so would pass the time by reading. One day I faced the very serious situation of nothing to read and a minute to grab something in the library, and for whatever reason I grabbed a book on astronomy. That book was amazing and grabbed me like nothing else had before. I remember being excited to realize every astronomer on earth was 13 years old once too, and that was a career you could actually do, even if you were from Pittsburgh. Anyway, today I am a professional astronomer who studies gigantic space explosions for a living. There was a lot of work to get from that moment to this one, but I'm always grateful that I picked up that library book. The older I get, the more I am constantly cognizant of the vast cascade of seemingly insignificant decisions and actions that led me to where I am. For example, a decision 25 years ago to change a refrigerator light bulb before going out resulted in my being at the wrong time and place so as to get mugged, which resulted in my decision to move out of the city I had been living in. Which resulted in me meeting my wife, and from there to having all my kids and the whole shebang. I would have had a different whole shebang had I not changed that light bulb that afternoon, but the path to the present leads through that, and a thousand other, similarly trivial decisions. My existence. When my dad was about 20, he needed a phone number so he called the operator from a pay phone, she gave him the number, he hung up, and she accidentally refunded the money back to the pay phone. She called the pay phone back and asked him if he could put the money back in, which he did and hung up again. She accidentally refunded the money again and had to call back again to ask him to put the money back in, he did and hung up again. She was so flustered, she refunded the money again and called back again and my father got to chatting with her and got her number. They set up a date, which she stood him up for, then she forgot his name when he called her again, then they actually got coffee and four years later were married. This coming August it'll be 50 years for them. If my dad didn't need that phone number, I wouldn't be here. My dad still calls at the most expensive phone call he ever made. My wife got an email from her old colleagues the day we returned home from our honeymoon, asking if she wanted to star in a short film they were doing for fun. She said sure, and asked if I could come along, as she knew I had an interest in movies, but at the time I worked in life insurance and was miserable. It was more than an interest, I had always wanted to make films, but never made the right connections with people and didn't know where to start. I made friends with the producer of that short film my wife was in, and 11 years later filmmaking and video production is my career. I've shot feature films, short films, video for TV and web, and all over the world because of that one email to my wife. Changed our lives. Oh, and that original short film never got finished. I finished working half an hour earlier and I was sent home by my boss, an old friend, on holy day in our hometown, texted me out of the blue and asked me if I could pick up her American friend because she could not make it in time and I was the only one who spoke English. Took a shower, shaved my head, picked her up, and 10 months later I married her. The other day I was driving home from work, traffic was light and I was behind a car with a number plate that started KFD. Decided to duck through KFC drive-through for chippies with extra salt as a little treat to myself.  I need to get over a bridge that's normally six lanes which has now been reduced to one. Turns out it's due to a massive collision involving several cars. When I finally get to the point where I'm driving past, I notice the number plate on one of the cars, that same KFD number plate. If I hadn't stopped to get hot chips I'm fairly sure I'd have been in a major collision.  My husband found out after 18 years, that his mom's side of the family was Spanish, not Mexican. He found this interesting and changed his country to Spain on Myspace instead the US where he really was. Meanwhile in Australia, I was helping my friend find Spanish people to add as a friend as she was learning the language. I came across my now husband and decided to send him a friend request as well. We got along really well and met in person after three years. Have been together 11 years, married for seven. If he didn't change his country to Spain, and only for a day or so, we'd never know each other existed. Four years ago a kid I barely knew from school invited me to a six flags. I was a bit of a loner at the time and I heard rumors about this kid being weird, so I intended to not go. On the day he wanted me to go, I was feeling extra bored and decided on a whim why not. So I went and met this kid and two of his friends I've never met at a six flags. Four years later in that kid is my best friend, and I have three other very close friends I met through him. Not only that, but I also met my first girlfriend because of the connections some of my new friends had. It transformed my high school years from being alone to having an amazing group of friends I could do almost anything with. I intended to ask my best friend to be my best man one day, and I don't intend on ever getting out of touch with any of them. I'm home from college now, and we are going to have a lot of fun together. Best decision I've ever made. Thank you for watching Royal AI.
