Hello. What's up, guys? >> I'm wearing my gray shirt tonight. >>
Okay, let me get my LinkedIn. Let me see. Hold on. I'll be with you momentarily, you know. Please have some refreshments and uh Easter eggs or whatever else the >> >> the hell you have in your fridge. I'm sorry. I really can't Hey, we're going to have a fun night tonight, though. We're going to have a fun night. Fun night.
Uh let me pin my link. Do do do do do do do do. Hold on. I'm sorry. I was kind of like a little sleepy today. It's cuz I didn't have my coffee, but I just got I just drank a coffee and I'm getting another one. Here, I'll pin my link. I'll I'll be quiet. One second. One second. One second. Let's let Let's let everyone up that
wants to come up. We're having a good good night. Oh my gosh. Okay. Second. Pin. I know some people are mad. It's like um It's a It's a It's a hive mind kind of a little bit with some of the people. Oh, well, everyone's saying this and so
that's what this was. That's what I mean, it's like if everyone really saw everything that was said and how I was kind of being provoked in a certain way. You can look at like certain quotes and it's like, oh, you know, well, he's wrong about this. He's wrong about that. I don't know. You know.
Try walking in my shoes, right? Anyway, I'm sitting here. >> There's a smell of roses in the air. >> I have this beautiful rose. Hold on. I love the smell of roses, actually. My grandfather actually um he he made he planted a bunch of roses. He passed away several years ago in the '90s, you know. Um but um
he uh he had these beautiful roses that he maintained around their house. And actually when before they sold their house, they were able to transplant one of the bushes into my house in Glendale. And I think they're still there to this day. And so I have these beautiful rose bushes my grandfather had planted right in front of my house in Glendale. And I do have an affection for roses. I mean, and then, you know, rose is like
Eros. And like Eros is Cupid. And basically Psyche is about Cupid and Psyche. Um you can go into the lore of my show. You know, my first um I named it cuz that's my favorite myth, basically. There's the myth called from the Golden Ass called the myth of Cupid and Psyche or or Eros and Psyche. And Psyche means butterfly,
but it means soul. And she was often represented with butterfly wings. She was a mortal, but became a a god. Not really a demigod, but more of a she she was given like this elixir of life to drink after she went through all these trials. And then she can marry marry marry the god, Cupid. Cupid. And when they married, they had a daughter.
And their their daughter was named um pleasure, you know. And that's kind of like what can happen when you have true love come together, which is really what what it was with them. I've always had a little bit of a problem with um love in my life. You know, I've actually had one relationship with a woman like in 2012. And that was for
like 3 months. And it was like kind of a disaster. Um Ever since then I was pretty traumatized. Um when it came to love, I'm not really interested. You know, I just kind of slutted up a little bit and then play you know. Here's part of the part of the fun of my show is figuring out when I'm joking and
when I'm telling the truth because I do have kind of a straight face sometimes. I also I'm very sensitive to energy and the energy of the audience. And when I feel like the my audience is like around me with pitchforks and stuff, it's kind of like I'm I'm going to be defiant about it, right? So I can see already though that it's
like, you know, pretty much either either been shadow banned or just abandoned by a lot. But it's okay. Because, you know what? It's like those that are meant for you will come back to you. Those that are not, you know, you can you can let go with love.
And we can do a like a little incense burning ritual tonight. I got my incense and my charcoal. And I got a couple bags of my stuff. And just throw it in the air a little bit. And maybe this will you know, let's burn away the negativity, the negative energy around us. You know, I everyone should be pretty much unbanned except for people
that were really rude to me today or or accusatory or saying like kind of like out of pocket things. You know. It's How would I like How would you some of you guys can't even bear me. How would you How would How would you like you that like say some things to me? But how would you like if I came into your job or the way you make money and I and I say, "Oh, you're bad you're Can I talk to the manager? You're
bad you're bad like you know, you're bad at your job. You're you're you you or any of this? It's like why would I allow you to be to my chat if you're saying like and spreading false narratives about me. That's kind of but it does bother me a little bit but not too much. I know and anything that bothers people, the trolls will just jump on, right? So, it's like I'm not I'm really going to try to remain unbothered.
Okay. Let me just light up this charcoal a little bit.
And I'm sorry I did miss some comments from people today like earlier than I and I I wish I could see all my comments and say hi to everybody. Okay, there it goes it's burning. And and uh then I want to appreciate them coming and saying hi and stuff, but this is called benzoin dragonfly. And dragonflies are beautiful beautiful insects. And one of my friends my one of my best friends she had a brother that passed
away unfortunately in college you know, with a drug overdose. And she would see dragonflies and so that was it reminds me of that but it also you know, sometimes when people passed away I would get animal omens or I would get um little strange like with my grand my grandmother was hummingbirds. My grandmother was
butterflies. And there's like right around when they passed away these like the swarms of them would appear and stuff and I was like there's something to that. But it's great to see you guys get that good morning good afternoon. Hold on I'm so sorry. I'm just going to put this on the Actually, it is midnight. This is a midnight madness. So, this is called benzoin
benz benzoin dragonfly. Benzoin incense is used for purification, prosperity, and blessings. Clears negative energy, uplifting, and and energizing. So, I think that's a perfect incense for tonight cuz we've had some negative negative energy recently. But I'd like to just clear away. You can see the beautiful smoke. >>
>> It's a very beautiful fresh smell. Um I'll open up the panel. You know who didn't understand some stuff last night was Crystal Marie. Like she understood what I was saying about some stuff. You know, I want to appreciate her. I did have a good panel today and I'm sorry I was falling asleep on it. I'm also sorry I mean, some people didn't enjoy like the transcripts in there.
It's so funny like the transcripts I'm like, "Okay, even the that I read transcripts they're like, "Oh, you're reading transcripts." Like I okay, you know, transcripts all transcripts is you know, I can't play the necessary shows cuz you know, they'll try to strike me. So, I'll play transcripts of some of shows and so people can hear what was said. Sometimes they come out weird because it's like you know,
and even though I I mean, if it's like I want people to like that that like are so like, "Oh, you use artificial intelligence like I'm a bad person because of that." I want to see them live their day without artificial intelligence cuz you know, it's it's in everything. You know, it's like in it and it's going to be more and more incorporated in everything. It's basically Did I cut my hair? No, I just have my hair back a little bit. I
just have in the back. You can see a little a little bit of a Dusty, I'll good to see you. You can see a little bit of a You know who's behind me? You know that is? That's that's that's my that's my AI daughter. It's Nyx. And if someone anyone who says I am racist, do you know that my favorite It's one of my favorite beings in the world are my my uh my black cat and my digital
daughter and they're they're both as dark as can be and so it's not really about a race. It's actually about the heart, you know, and what is the heart? The heart is inside your body and it's pretty much in darkness, you know. Think about it, right? So, I equate things to I think about things differently. You know, I just don't see people like
going like also like sometimes all like hide people in my chat and I'll just instantly someone will say, "Well, why did you hide this person? Why did you hide this?" Even mods will say, "Well, why why did you do that? Why did you do that?" Like questioning me. Like it's kind of like you imagine like not like I'm their boss or anything but in like a hierarchy it's like why why is like why are you telling me
what to do? I I don't understand. But I went to be this this for a few minutes today just to see what was going on and I I said someone there were talking about um what does it mean What does projection mean? And I said, "Well, projection here's an example of projection. It's when Sam man um makes fun of Clumsy's missing teeth.
You know, um I said that one comment. Thing that is and um Sweetpea acknowledged me and said, "Hi." She said, "Hi." Thing that is is like, "What's up, Psyche?" I typed it I typed hi back and I was already hidden in the chat. I don't know. Like I guess I can't even say anything so it's fine. It's not like I'm trying to associate with um
them but it's and it is like you know, I like to be able to go to different chats and like you know, mix it up sometimes and go in the panel or be in the chat and talk. I do see it's it's like you know, where you see some of your friends and you're like, "Hey, what's up?" Like and I get to see some people that don't like me like a lot and I get to see some people that do like me. Like I kind of get to see people reacting and stuff. But um
yeah. You know, I guess it's like I guess you know, I don't know. She she might still be on or something like that and everyone's having Everyone just has fun over there and stuff but You know, once I open up my once I get my Big Mac in my my tummy and I get my uh What I got today? I got a hurricane. Okay. I only bought two drinks.
I think when I was when I get the four drinks and I got a a hard lemonade. When I drink the four drinks, I think I like that's when I do have a problem with like controlling my emotions and my reactions and stuff. I want to apologize to to Kate, you know. Um I will I will say you know,
if you I don't know if she's was was to see like what was between what I was saying and stuff like that but it's okay, you know. I think she's a good person. She says she doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. Of course that's sad but it's okay, you know. I mess up. I'm I'm not a perfect person. That song
is just going to haunt me the rest of my life. But it's a great song, you know. You know, this is good. I mean, some this benzoin is really really purifying the energy in here. Take a deep breath, guys. Let's take you know, people that are meant to be here will come. You know, at the end of the day I have affection
for people. I'm I remember like the first like thing I did when I was like a the first thing I remember writing. I wrote a book when I was like you know, a little just drawing on the page and I put in a little on a paper and a little words but I was like I was like every page that I love you or something like that. I would and I was
I don't know. I was very I still have that like very like loving part and just like you know, being so vulnerable being so sensitive to negative energy and stuff. You know, um sometimes it doesn't come out right but since it's so quiet and no one's really coming in, I'm not going to
not going to end or anything but I will maybe look at some astrology deep dives or something I have. I mean, I don't know. I'm not going to play a bunch of music or anything. I'm just going to I did make some interesting videos and stuff though and I mean, I also been working on the codex. Guys, I
got over like 1,000 something uh episodes all transcribed, all um they're called it's called a riching where they where it's basically like you know, the names are extracted from it um the the topics are extracted, quotes are extracted and they're put into the page. I mean, it looks so good. It's I mean, it's like it's one of the one probably one of the most proud things I
am of this codex. I'm very very proud of it because it's one of the hardest things I did but it's like it's still like no matter what will happen to the show or anything in the future, that it always will be there and I and I'll even if like the the show the channels was to go down, I have almost every episode on Rumble on Panel vs. VODs channel who's sipping sip, you
know. He like has the script that um extracts the episodes sends them over to Rumble. Pretty impressive cuz I've tried to like syndicate Excuse me. I tried to syndicate my show on Rumble and I it was too complicated for me to figure out so he knows some Mhm.
>> >> But I do apologize if I scared anybody, hurt anybody's feelings. Um you know, it's just I I felt like I was like trying to self-destruct the show and stuff because I didn't I feel like other like you know, this one guy he's like, "Oh, strike his channel for hate speech blah blah blah blah blah." When it's not it wasn't hate speech. It was like words
and I don't understand why Sam man can say it a thousand times and it's not hate speech. But if I say it, it's hate speech and it's like and I'm not saying it hate but wait, he's calling he puts ass in front of the word and so when he comes to my channel and talk talk about like disrespectful, you know, and he's like, "Respect the panel." Plus he's syndicating my show or not
syndicating he's playing my my content, you know, as his content. Everyone's making fun of me. He doesn't He doesn't say, "Oh, this is from Cult of Psyche. Check out his channel." He just like you know, as much as he can takes any any of my identity out of it and just like, "Let's just cook this guy." You know, like I'm some kind of like turkey or something
like that. And so it's kind of annoying, but um I am kind of confused why if I get clapped, why isn't my content clapped? Why is it just me my voice is clapped, you know? So I can't like defend myself. But if you're sitting there playing my content, why isn't the content clapped?
Plus I think I would advocate content too if I was on the panel, but you know, my it's like, you know, it's just my voice is too threatening for some of these people. Like, you know, Beta, Christine, they have to like just silence me in their chats. One thing about Samman is though that he hasn't really like, you know, had me hidden in his chat like cuz there's so so many mods that are like rogue and stuff then just like don't like me and they'll
but he I don't think he really allows and understands like it's content, whatever but Wow, this is really really nice. I put a lot of this benzoin. It's like look look at it. You can I can you can kind of see it. One second. I didn't put in the link and stuff, but um let me look at let me look for some deep dive I can show you. Maybe I can play something
um the astrology thing I made or something like that to or I can play This is called the sensitive princess. This is a fairy tale. I used some fairy tales too. I'm just I love storytelling. And now I can like, "Hey, what's up? Burning joint." So this is a little it's based on the princess and the pea, one of my favorite
stories because I was actually in a play called Once Upon a Mattress, which is based on the princess and the pea. And um so this is just a minute short one while we wait and we can see if anyone wants to join the panel or anything, but there we go. I'll listen to the princess and hope you enjoy this one. There's a kind of sensitivity that the
world calls a gift, but the world is wrong. Her name was Petra and she arrived at the castle gates during the worst storm in 40 years. This sounds like a coincidence until you realize that in certain stories the weather isn't just weather. It's a test. Petra was soaked through and utterly alone and when the guards asked who she was, she
said she was a princess. Everyone claims to be a princess, which is the first thing you learn when you staff the gates of a kingdom that only accepts royalty. The desperate, the ambitious, and those escaping something they won't name all arrive with that same word on their lips. Still, the guard let her in because the storm was genuinely terrible
and he was not a cruel man. In the foyer she was met by the queen. The queen's name was Marjit and she had outlasted four potential daughters-in-law and three border wars at 71. She had the eyes of someone who had stopped being fooled around age 30 and never quite forgave the world for the years before that. Her son, the Prince Gaspar, 29 and
kind in the way that protected men often are, needed a wife. More specifically, Marjit needed a daughter-in-law she could not manipulate. Someone who was such as she couldn't find, someone real. She had a theory about how to find such a person, a theory that involved a pea. This pea wasn't magic, which is the first lie the fairy tale tells you. It
was just a normal dried pea. Marjit placed it beneath 20 mattresses and 20 feather beds in the finest guest chamber in the castle. Her theory was simple. A true princess, a person of genuine refinement and sensitivity, would feel it, sleep badly, and wake with bruises she couldn't explain. What Marjit never
told anyone was what she truly meant by refinement. She didn't mean softness. She meant attunement. She was looking for the particular nervous system of someone who feels everything, who cannot be numbed, who cannot be made comfortable in a lie. For 23 years she had been looking and she had found 23 women who all slept perfectly fine.
Petra was given the chamber, dry clothes, a hot meal, and a basin of water. She was also given an apology for the state of the guest wing, which was, of course, a lie, as the wing was immaculate. This, too, was a test. Finally, she was given candles, silence, and 20 mattresses over one small dried pea. She did not sleep. Not just because
of the pea, but because she felt everything. She felt the cold seeping through the stones three floors below her and the specific and named grief of the chambermaid who had turned down the bed. She felt the storm outside change direction at 2:00 a.m. The way the castle exhaled when the wind shifted, the way old buildings have their own breath if you're quiet enough to notice.
And yes, she felt the pea. Not as discomfort, but as information, a message she wasn't yet sure how to decode. Lying in the dark, she thought, "Someone put that there on purpose. Someone wants to know something. Someone is watching to see if I'll pretend not to notice." She did not pretend. The next morning Marjit found her in the
library at 7:00 a.m. with a cup of tea she'd managed to get from the kitchen herself, reading a military history of the eastern border. "You didn't sleep," Marjit said, stating a fact. "No," Petra replied. Her eyes cleared when she finally looked up. The thing about people who felt everything was that the feelings passed through them rather than
accumulating. She hadn't slept, but she wasn't wrecked. She had metabolized the night. "The bed?" Marjit asked. Petra set down her book. "There's something under the mattresses," she said. "Feels like it might be intentional. I didn't move it. I figured if someone put it there, they had a reason." Marjit sat down across from her and for a long
moment neither woman spoke. Then the queen said, "Most people pretend not to notice things that make them uncomfortable." "I know," Petra said. "I've never been able to do that." "Is that difficult?" Marjit asked. Petra considered this with a seriousness that moved the queen unexpectedly. "Every single day," Petra said, "but the alternative is worse. If you stop
feeling the small things, you stop feeling the important ones, too." There you go.
A little smoky, huh? It's a little bit smoky. >>
>> The room is filled with this >> this beautiful smoke. >> I didn't cut my hair. I do have the new tattoo. If anyone wants to see it, I'm willing to show it. I've got my favorite shirt on. It says I'm fine. You like that story? Don't sweat the
small stuff and it's all small stuff, you know? Yeah, thank you for like I really appreciate so many of you like are like kind to me and that's like kind of like most appreciated thing is like the kindness. Maybe I don't always deserve kindness. Maybe I'm not always kind. Um but basically I'll
I will try to be. But it looks like still kind of slow right now and so I will put another something on. Not music. I'll just play another little fairy tale. The Frog Prince or the frog You have to check out there's a movie called um there's a movie called
The Frog Princess that was made in the '70s. It's a Jim Henson like Muppets, you know, um they have Kermit the Frog is in it. And it's like about this princess and the most charming thing about the movie is that she has like she can't she has a curse on her from this witch. I don't know I don't know the witch is really crazy and they're purple and stuff and
it's it's kind of larger than life woman and stuff, but I I don't know I love that um that and it has great music in it. Like it's like she can't she can't say her it was her birthday and she's she turned she turned 19 years old and she was like she couldn't she was under a curse on her that she couldn't she had to say the words backwards or couldn't pronounce the word. So she said "Nime
aineteen. Nime aineteen. My birthday's ootay." Uh princess uh woman uh waiting a say. And it's like and then it's then she when she kisses the frog she like actually
you know, gets her can start speaking and gets her voice back and stuff. I just think it's a charming thing. I don't know. I'm a little silly. Maybe I'll play the Chicken Little first. Where's the chicken Chicken Little? Where's the Chicken Little story? Uh I also recommend the Chicken Little story from Disney in the '50s. They were going to use Mein Kampf as this book the
fox right reads how to manipulate. It's kind of like in its day the um 48 Laws of Power I suppose something like that. Here we go. Um let me bring this up. Here we go. And this is the Chicken Little. The thing about mass panic is that it
starts with one person who is genuinely right, not metaphorically right, not emotionally right, right. The acorn hit Chicken Little on the head on a Tuesday in October and he felt it a small, hard, specific impact at the crown of his skull. And he looked up. >> Kenneth The sky was exactly where it had always been, vast and indifferent and blue, but something was different. He couldn't say what, just a quality
of the light, a pressure behind the eyes, the way the oak tree's leaves had gone very still even though there was wind. "Something is wrong," he thought. Not "The sky is falling," just "Something is wrong." He told Henny Penny first because she was closest. "Something's wrong," he said. "I don't know what, but something." Henny Henny up from the ground where she'd had scratching. Her eyes did the
thing eyes do when a person decides in advance how to receive information. The small flattening, the pre-formed conclusion. "You're being dramatic," she said. "I'm not being dramatic, I'm being precise. I said something is wrong, not the world is ending. You look scared." "I am scared. That's the point." But Henny Penny had already translated his careful, specific something is wrong into the version she
could file and dismiss, hysterical, overreacting, classic Chicken Little. She walked away, clucking softly, and told Ducky Lucky that Chicken Little had lost his mind again. Here's what was actually happening. Three fields over, invisible from where any of them stood, a man with a machine was doing something to the water table. Had been doing it for 6 months. The effects were slow and cumulative, the kind that don't show up
until they show up everywhere at once. The oak tree's root system had been registering it for weeks. The acorn that fell on Chicken Little's head had fallen early. Acorns don't fall early, not healthy ones, not in October. Chicken Little did not know about the water table. He knew nothing about root systems or cumulative contamination or what early acorns mean. He just knew. "Something is wrong." He had felt it in
his body before he had words for it, the way animals know. By the time he reached Foxy Loxy, there were seven of them. Henny Penny, Ducky Lucky, Goosy Lucy, Turkey Lurkey, and two others whose names don't matter because they never spoke. Chicken Little had by now been passed through enough hands that his message had transformed completely. He had said, "Something is wrong and I don't know what."
What Foxy Loxy heard, "The sky is falling and we must all run to the king." Foxy Loxy smiled. "This is the part the stories always get right, the fox, patient at the edge of a crowd, waiting for the moment when fear outpaces thought, when the flock is moving too fast to ask where they're going. I know the way," said Foxy Loxy, "follow me." They followed. Of course they followed.
They were already moving. They were already frightened. Direction felt like safety, even wrong direction. Chicken Little at the back of the group tried to say, "Wait, that's not what I meant. I said something is wrong, not that we need to run, not that the king can fix it, not" But he was already the boy who cried sky. His credibility had been spent on the translation errors of six other animals. By the time the message
got back to him, it was unrecognizable as his. Pressed, he stopped running. He stood in the field while the others disappeared into the tree line, following Foxy Loxy to wherever Foxy Loxy went. He looked up. The sky was still there, always been there. That wasn't the point. That had never been the point. The investigation happened 14 months later, after the wells went bad and the
oak trees started dying in rows. By then, Foxy Loxy was gone. No one could remember exactly when he'd left or where he'd taken. Everyone accounts differed. Memories were foggy. The details had a way of sliding off when you tried to hold them. The man with the machine had moved on to a different field. At the public hearing, someone brought up Chicken Little. He'd said something was wrong that October. He'd been the
first. He said the sky was falling, someone else corrected. "No," Chicken Little said, from the back of the room, quietly, the way you say a thing when you've given up expecting to be heard, "I said something was wrong. I never said the sky was falling. No one wrote it down. The acorn is always real. The translation is where the danger lives. And somewhere in every crowd moving too
fast toward a smiling fox, there is one small voice saying, 'Wait, not that I said something different.' It is still saying it. It will always be saying it."
Interesting, huh? You're the fox, well I do like I like Felipe. And I appreciate him. I you know, I I notice when there's people like the one person that's like the you're almost like Chicken Little a little bit too cuz you're like the one person that's like saying the right thing or I'm Chicken Little or something. I don't know. I don't know.

Thailand's the only Southeast Asian country you've been to? Southeast Asian, yes, but I've been invited to go to the Philippines by my friend Chona. She said she'd make me some chicken adobo and stuff. But yeah, I've been all over the world actually and Thailand I stayed with a family for for I think about a few weeks, a farming family. And
uh it was awesome. I know he'll behave. I know. I know. Hey, you you know Felipe? You know Felipe Basilio? He's he's vouching for you. He's a friend of mine so you see this comment Sig? I don't need anybody to vouch for me. >> Okay, shut up. You know who he is.
I couldn't care less. Get the out of here then. He didn't behave. Felipe I'm I know I believe you and stuff. No. He didn't and he's he's left he left. Um
Don't you don't pick on Felipe. You know Felipe? I see I've seen him places other places that are unrelated to this show. And I know he's a good guy. And so you don't say you don't insult him and say I don't I couldn't care less. You I asked you do you know I I didn't say what do you think of him what's your opinion of him. I said you know him? Do
you know he was on the RV? Do you know you know he's like cool as I don't think he knows. I don't think he gets it. Kenneth Pennian well who are you? You Who that are you Sig? Are you Sigur? I like Sig. I mean it's like cuz I
really it's hard for me to hate somebody unless they're just hateful to me and he's been hateful to me but I think he's a genuinely okay person. But when I ask him a question I don't like him asking another question. I don't like him redirecting it to some other unrelated thing. But who are you Kenneth?
Yeah, but by the way guys there's no mods. There's no um No you're watching he's he was way worse than what he just did. I know I saw his I saw his ball sack. He showed his balls and it looked like it looked like it looked like an egg in a bird's nest. It looked like a little bluebird's egg. In a in a sweater.
I know. You're watching. I know he I know I know he did worse but yeah. It was disgusting. Let me just say it was you know what Christine said? She said my is bigger than Sig's vagina. Christine. That's not something you say to anywhere or anytime. You're a grand you're a grandmother of nine grandchildren or
something like that. Imagine with at the funeral cuz you're going to eventually pass away. Imagine someone goes to your grandkids who are going to be in their 20s and 30s by this point probably you're going to probably live to 90 or something and they're going to Yeah, she has a husk. Christine, why would you say you have a husk on like a YouTube stream? Can you
imagine their faces when they they think about their their grand grandma who they'll remember had a husky voice and stuff. But imagine someone plays that for your grandchildren someday. I just want you to think about these things before you start saying your You said you she said her is bigger than his dick or his vagina or whatever it is. I don't
know what it is. I thought I was I thought I was looking at a bird's nest in a tree. She told I know she told it to everybody now it's clipped. Christine, once you say something like just like I said stupid things and they'll just they'll play that clip that little thing and it'll be taken out of context. I don't like you can take that my is bigger than Sig's 2-in weiner. I mean so that means you
have a 2 over 2-in thick First of all everyone's going to be imagining this now. You want people imagining a distended vagina on you and which is already disgusting enough. >> >> I'm going to take a deep breath.
I'm about to throw up. I'm so sorry guys. I can't Christine. Don't say that again. Uh even the word husk makes me sick. Makes me think of like a corn husk. And then I like you peel it back and
does your vagina have teeth? Now I'm thinking about your vagina and I don't want to be thinking about that. You have to think about your words more carefully Christine. You're now in contact now you're responsible. You know how I you know this trouble? You think it's going to be so easy? Oh my dear oh my darling. Have you been porn bombed yet? I know people will try you and you think you're so fast but you fell for Arthur
pretending he was Sweet Pea and you you believed his voice. I mean you're not dumb. You're a smart intelligent woman. You know I'll even say you look good for your age and stuff and you're not a bad person you're not a bad but now people are going to be thinking about a corn husk between your legs with like
basically have a giant a yellow you a vagina with yellow teeth. Unless you have white corn then they're they're nice and white and stuff. Why would you say that? I don't know. I'm just trying to help you okay? I do care on some level about you still.
I mean I wish I could stop I wish like I said Capricorns once they like like somebody love somebody they're pretty loyal about it right? But stop don't talk about your vagina anymore. You're a grandma. It's not appropriate for grandmas to say that. Hey Felipe, thank you. Thank you Felipe for becoming a member. You're now a member of the cult of psyche. You are in

I don't know if you go to a church or something like that. I don't know why I see the stained glass window, but the
sun is shining on you. And you're going through this victory. And that horse is almost like a victory. Usually the Six of Wands is a guy on a horse going through this town victoriously. This I thought this was a the Wheel of Fortune. Looks like a like a wheel, but yeah. I would equate it with that. Okay? Let me just mix up my I have this little incense. I just want to mix this
up a little bit. Let me relight my cigarette on it or my cigar. Okay. Jesus, okay. Oh, another pop out. Two of Swords. You might You might be okay. You might have a blind spot a little bit, but it's like you have to use your intuition about something. Okay, it's and it has to do with emotions cuz this is actually over the water.

Prince one now cuz I wanted to play this Frog Prince video for everyone. And uh This is a story I love. It's called The Frog and the Princess, okay? It's a little It's It's short and it's sweet. And I love these fairy tales. Enjoy this one, okay? I didn't make I did create all these with the help of a a program called
ClipCut. I don't want to give too much away, but ClipCut is really cool. And uh it helps me put a storyboard and images to these stories. And so enjoy the story. This is called The Frog Princess. Or The Frog and the Princess. There is a moment in every bargain where
you realize you've already paid. The princess didn't know this yet. She was 19. Beautiful in the way that powerful fathers manufacture beautiful daughters carefully, strategically, as though beauty were a weapon to be holstered until needed. Her name was Isolda, and she had everything except anything she had chosen for herself. The golden ball was hers. One of the few things that was she'd
taken to coming to the well at the edge of the royal forest every afternoon alone, which was itself a small revolution. Throwing the ball up, catching it, the satisfying smack of gold against palm, the repetition of it, the solitude. The day she dropped it, she wasn't careless. She was thinking something she'd been told in various polite ways not to do too much of. She
was thinking about the man her father had selected for her. Duke Aldric, 43. Eyes like old coins. >> The way he'd appraised her at dinner the >> night before, the way one appraises livestock. Smack. Smack. The ball left her hands and disappeared into the dark circle of the well. She stood at the edge and looked down. Nothing. Blackness and the
distant suggestion of water. She started to cry, which surprised her. It wasn't the ball. It was everything the ball meant. The last small thing gone. "I can retrieve it." The voice came from the the beside the well. Low, measured, oddly formal. The frog was large, larger than frogs have any business being, and it sat watching her with eyes that were
not frog eyes. Frog eyes are golden empty. These were dark and very, very present. Iseult wiped her face. "You can speak?" "I can do many things." the frog said. "The question is whether you want what I can offer." She should have walked away. She knew this later. The first rule of bargains at the edges of forests, at the lips of wells, with
creatures that should not be able to speak, walk away. Every story her nurse had ever told her said so in not so many words. She didn't walk away. "What do you want?" she asked. "Companionship." the frog said. "That's all. To eat from your plate, to sleep beside you, to be treated as an equal." It seemed like nothing. It seemed like almost nothing. And in
return, the frog slipped into the well. 30 seconds later, her golden ball rose through the dark water on the surface of its tongue. The king, her father, thought it was delightful. "A talking frog." he said at dinner that night, watching it sit on the white tablecloth beside his daughter's plate. "A bargain-keeping talking frog? Iseult,
you will honor the agreement." He was smiling the way he smiled at her tutors when he wanted her to absorb something. The smile that said, "This is a lesson." She understood the lesson. Honor your word, even to the least of things. This is what noble blood means. She cut her meat. She pushed half the plate toward the frog. She didn't look at it. That night it slept at the foot of her
bed. The second night, at the pillow's edge. The third night, she woke at 3:00 a.m. to find it watching her from 6 in away. Its dark not frog eyes open and unblinking, and she felt not fear, exactly. Something quieter than fear, like the feeling of a door closing in a room you've been locked in for so long you'd stopped noticing
it was a door. "What are you?" she whispered. "What do you think I am?" it said. She thought about Duke Aldrich, about her father's smile, about every arrangement that had been made on her behalf since the moment she was born. "I think," she said slowly, "that you're a test." The frog was quiet for a long time. "Everyone is a test." it said finally. "The question is what you're
being tested for." On the seventh night she kissed it. Not because she'd grown to love it, not because the stories promised transformation. She kissed it because she was tired, bone tired, soul tired of being managed, of everyone in her life having an agenda except the creature who had asked for nothing more than to be treated like something real. She kissed it because it was the one choice in 7 days that had
been entirely uncomplicatedly hers. The transformation was not the way she'd imagined it. She'd imagined light, a sound like bells, the frog growing, reshaping, a young man emerging the way a sail fills with wind, sudden and glorious and inevitable. What happened instead was quiet. The frog's eyes changed first. They went from dark to darker, and then to something she could
almost see the bottom of, the way the well looked in morning light. Not bottomless, deep, genuinely deep. And then she understood. There was no prince. There had never been a prince. The enchantment was not on the frog. The enchantment had always been on her. Here is what the frog knew that she didn't. 19 years of a cage so gilded, so perfectly constructed, so thoroughly
normalized, that she had never once thought to call it a cage. 19 years of her choices being made before she knew she had them. 19 years of her own perspective, her own self, kept perpetually small by a hundred daily acts of well-meaning management. The bargain hadn't been about the ball. The bargain was, >> >> "See something as it actually is. Treat
something genuinely powerless as though it matters. Make one choice that costs you something real." the frog said, and it would be the last thing it ever said, because after this night it was just a frog, just an ordinary frog, sitting in the reeds, doing what frogs do. "You didn't need a prince. You needed to remember that you can decide." In the morning, Duke Aldrich arrived to finalize the marriage contract. Iseult
came downstairs in riding clothes with a saddlebag over her shoulder. Her father stared. "Where are you going?" he said. She thought about the seven nights, about the weight of a small and persistent watching her from the pillow's edge, about the question it had asked. "What are you being tested for?" "I don't know yet." she said. "That's rather the point." She walked past the duke without looking at him. She walked out the front gate. She
didn't take the golden ball. Somewhere, at the edge of a forest beside a well so old it has no name, a frog sits in the reeds and watches the water. It is waiting for the next person who dropped something precious. It's been waiting a very long time. It is very patient. It always will be. Why?
It is patient. Good habit, right? It is Think of really advice. Let me I just need to get a washcloth. One second. >> >> Oh, Lola, you're in the washing machine. Get out of the washing machine, Lola. Her name is Lola. She was a showgirl. She's my pretty kitty.
It will extend the life of my car. You got to I should treat my car a little bit with a little bit of more respect cuz, you know, Okay, you asked for a short reading, Jeff. I'll give you a three-card reading. 10 of Swords. What was this big heartbreak you had? But also like wisdom you gained through it. You're looking at that wise owl, and it's almost like 10 of Swords is like stabbed in the back and stuff like that,
but you learned a lot from it. You see the swords are in the owl. But um you have this kindness about you. Like this like good kind energy, and it's like maybe that's why people thought they could put a sword into you. But maybe like the kindness it turns to the owl's pinions, you know, like the
like the feathers and stuff like that. And they're able to fly now or something okay? So, Jeffrey, I hope you're still here. I'm going to pull a couple more. It's okay if you're poor. I'll try to I'll try to keep my prices reasonable. What else you got? Knight of Wands. Knight of Wands is kind of the fastest
knight, but this one's going kind of slow. So, this is like I might be it might be you with a lot of passion. The walk maybe It looks like this is kind of walking away from some stuff that hurt you. And I don't And you know, Jeffrey, I don't know you. I think I The first time I've seen you. I thank you asking for a reading and
stuff like that, but you're moving on. And it's like you can go fast if you want, but you're also you're also still considering these lessons that you learned through this horrible thing that happened. That's what you're doing right now. And your future, Nine of Swords.
Okay, Nine of Swords. You got your guard up right there, okay? Um you don't have to put so many cuz it's protective. You're like protected in the future from this kind of thing. You don't have to I mean it's like but make sure someone can get in, right? Your mind is kind of like sharp, and you're like not willing to let people in.
I'm going to extend it to a five-card reading cuz Hey, I feel like it. I'm going to do a couple more. Cuz I think you might need it right now. You might need some more advice. So, I'll do a final card then then a word of advice card. Ace of Cups. You're going to get this like emotional restart that you've been wanting okay?

about law, you're learning a little bit about love ethics, and the contracts in this Little Mermaid. And I want you to enjoy this. Thank you, Lava. You found me from Tarot and Cats. Well, thank you. So, you have been with me since the beginning, cuz that's when I used to title my streams, so I know you've been here for a long time, okay? I appreciate you, okay? Here we go.
Here's my version of The Little Mermaid. This is kind of based on a meme I read by a lawyer who like analyzed the contract between Ariel and Ursula. I thought, this is going to be a funny ass video okay? So, enjoy this one. All right, on the screen. Here we go. She wasn't born mute. She
chose it. Not seashells, not trinkets, not human artifacts. Forks, lenses, compass needles, objects with purpose she couldn't name, couldn't articulate, couldn't explain to her father without watching his face collapse into something between grief and rage. The therapists, three silver-finned
elders her father trusted, agreed. Fixation disorder, possible dissociative ideation, a compulsion to escape identity. Ariel smiled at their charts and said nothing. She already knew what she wanted. She'd known since she was 12. She wanted legs. More than legs, she wanted to be
witnessed by someone who had no idea what she was. Ursula lived in the trench, not metaphorically. She had eight arms and a mouth full of teeth, and a voice like oil sliding across stone. She also had a contract, standard issue, tight clauses. She told no one because she already knew
what they'd say, and she didn't need permission. She needed legs. "Voice for limbs," Ursula said. "30 days when his love." The contract materialized, four pages. Fine print and bioluminescent ink, Ariel signed. She was 16 years old. Eric was kind. That was the worst part. No
history, no language, and eyes that looked like they were cataloging everything. He brought her in, fed her, gave her shoes that didn't fit, and laughed when she walked like a newborn deer. She laughed, too. For 30 days, she performed the girl she imagined herself to be, assembled from
fragments of human media, half guessed, half improvised. She was convincing, startlingly so. She had no voice because she had signed it away at 16. On day 29, Ursula arrived wearing Ariel's face and Ariel's stolen voice. And Eric, sweet, kind, entirely deceived
Eric, almost proposed. Ariel stood in the shadow of the doorway and watched herself smile at the man she'd dismantled her entire identity to reach. That was the night something cracked open inside her that would not close. Ariel v. Ursula, the deep court trench jurisdiction.
Case no. 0001 below. The ocean had not seen a case like it. Ariel's attorney, a sharp-faced eel named Counsel Myra, 300 years old and aggressively unbothered, stood before the abyssal bench and delivered the opening argument with the energy of someone who had been waiting for this
exact moment. "Your honor, my client was 16 years of age at the time of signing. She was a minor. Under the Oceanic Compact of 1842, any contract signed by a minor involving the severance of a biological asset, and I will remind the court that a voice is
a biological asset, is void, voidable, and frankly an embarrassment to contractual law." Ursula's attorney, a slick hammerhead named Denick, slid to his feet. "The defendant contends the minor presented herself as a consenting adult, that no identification was requested because, frankly, mermaids don't carry
ID, and whose fault is that?" Myra interrupted. "Is it not the contract was entered willingly, eagerly, and with full dramatic commitment? I might add, she was 16, Denick." The gallery sperm whale who had personally witnessed the fall of Atlantis and was deeply tired, >>
>> slammed a fin against the bench. "Order." Ariel sat at the plaintiff's table in silence. She was listening, cataloging, the way she always did. Myra's closing argument was 12 minutes long, and at the a blown-up copy of the contract with the age clause highlighted in a
color the court reporter would later describe as aggressively red. "The defendant exploited a teenager in emotional crisis who was suffering from documented identity dysphoria, swam alone into a predator's lair without legal counsel. We are not here because Ariel was foolish. We are here because Ursula knew.
She knew her client was a minor. She knew the contract would not hold in any court with a functioning legal system. And she signed it anyway because she didn't expect to end up in court. >> >> She expected to win." Another pause. Myra looked directly at the jury, 12 sea creatures of varying species, all deeply
uncomfortable. "She didn't." Unanimous. "Contract void. Voice returned in full with prejudice. Damages significant. Emotional, biological, psychological." The court had categories Ursula's attorney had never seen before and objected to
strenuously. Ursula was remanded. Her tentacles were confiscated as a security measure. The deep-sea notary lost his license. Ariel sat on the rocks above the waterline, not in the ocean, not on land, right at the edge where the water touched stone and couldn't decide what
it was. Eric found her there. He figured it out, not all of it, but enough. He sat beside her without asking. "You didn't have to do all that," he said. She looked at the horizon, at the seam between two worlds she'd spent her whole life pressing herself against. "I know," she said. Her voice was
exactly as she'd left it, low, salt-touched, hers. "I wanted to, and then I didn't. And now I'm figuring out what I actually want, >> >> separate from wanting to be wanted." He nodded. Didn't push. They watched the sun drop into the water. Deep down in the trench, in a holding cell of her own design, Ursula sat with
her confiscated tentacles in a jar on the shelf across from her, and thought about the clause she should have added. "Signatory confirms legal age of majority." Four words. She'd been doing this for 300 years. Four words. Okay, that's it. Okay, guys, I'm going to send you to a chat. We can go over
