Get your scoops, get your sprinkles, get your spoons, and
get ready for Doctor ice Cream to diagnose you. This
is the Doctor ice Cream Podcast. Hello, once again, Doctor
ice Cream is live on the road for my very
special holiday season. It might be the last episode of

(00:27):
the holiday special next week. I might be going back
to my professional I use that word in quotes Mike
set up, but I kind of do like this casual
vibe of just talking into my phone, like I'm doing
a voice note.

Speaker 2 (00:38):
So we shall see.

Speaker 1 (00:39):
But I wanted to talk today guys about butterflies and robots.

Speaker 2 (00:44):
So I think it was maybe like last year.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
I said to my best friend, I was like, do
you know what two things are exactly identical? Butterflies and robots?
And she was like, okay, explain well, actually she's probably like,
actually say a lot less crystal, like we have I've
heard enough of your wacked out ideas. But she's sort
of human me and she's like, okay, why are butterflies

(01:06):
and robots the same? And I was like, well, they
both just come into the world fully formed. You never
see a baby butterfly and you never see a baby robot.

Speaker 2 (01:19):
Are you getting me?

Speaker 1 (01:20):
Because a butterfly is a caterpillar in its like previous life,
it's previous incarnation. A butterfly is a caterpillar. It comes
into the world as just a butterfly. And you also
don't need to make baby robots. They just come into
the world, into the universe as robots. And she was like, Okay,
I'm not really sure, well what this theory is or

(01:41):
where you're going with it. And I was like, well,
it's not really anything that's got any practical use, because
nothing I've ever said in my goddamn life has any
practical use. I just said I thought it's interesting that
I really really am quite drawn to both of those things,
Like I'm really drawn to butterfly and then really drawn
to robots. And I was like, I wonder if there

(02:03):
is a connection there, and you know, there was a
connection to be made. I was really drawn to these
things that just pop fresh into the matrix without needing
to go through any sort of baby stage. They don't
need to go through the childhood stage, teenager stage, the
adult stage. They just come out fully formed. Now, don't
correct me. If there are actually baby butterflies, I don't
want to know. I don't want to look that up.

(02:24):
This is just just a theory I have that I
like things that just pop out fully formed.

Speaker 2 (02:29):
Like I also really like the idea of clones. I
guess actually do I do.

Speaker 1 (02:33):
I like the idea of clones because a clone also
wouldn't have to be a baby. You could just sort
of replicate yourself and you wouldn't need to go through
that baby stage because it is that. It is that
growth stage that I just do not like. That is
one of the reasons that I never wants to reincarnate
on Earth. As I talk about a lot in this program,
I'm really all about dying. And then when I'm presented

(02:55):
with whatever's on the other side and they try to
get me to reincarnate, I'm very much planning preparing to say,
absolutely not. I'll go somewhere where I can be fully formed.
If I'm the caterpillar in this life, or I'm the
robot parts ready to be made into a robot, Sure,
if you want to plug me in somewhere else fully formed,

(03:16):
I can do that. If I'm fully formed with the
knowledge of everything, sure I'll live on another life. But
I'm not going back to the baby stage. So I
started writing a book a book series last year, a
sci fi series. It was called Robots of the rain Forest,
and I made a front cover for it, and I
had a robot on the front cover that had been

(03:38):
lost to the sands of time in a forest. There
had been a robot civilization and the robots had started
to learn too much. The robots were actually so plugged
into the matrix that they could see through the matrix
and they could see the truth. They were too advanced
for humans. They were about to blow the whole government
conspiracy to humans. So the humans had to kill the robots,

(04:00):
and their parts were just littered around the rainforest and
butterflies were landing on them. And I'd made this front
cover in Canda, not an ad, not a plug, but
I'd made this front cover in Canva of a robot
covered in butterflies. So that's just come to me today
on the topic of robots and butterflies. I was thinking
about that series. Yes, it's another one of my aunt

(04:20):
finished a project, Sleigh. I was also thinking about this
other book. I was giggling myself, which I never do
because I don't want to know what's there. But I
was giggling myself this morning and one of my old
deleted ebooks came up called When We All Go Free?
And I've made this cover. It's got me on the
cover and the book's called when We All Go Free?

(04:41):
Subtitle why are we here on Earth? The answers and guys.
I was looking at this. I was having breakfast out
of the cafe of course this morning. I was looking
at this old book cover of mine, and I was like, Hm,
why did I ever stop getting really high and writing
books about existential topics?

Speaker 2 (04:58):
Why did I ever stop that? I'll tell you why.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
The patriarchy. The patriarchy wants to keep you sober and uncreative.

Speaker 2 (05:09):
Guys. That's just my little theory I reckon. That's what happened.
That was a little bit of an the side.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
But I don't know if I've got any much more,
too much to say about butterflies and robots, But yes,
I am. I've just become very drawn to the idea
of something that can come into the world fully evolved.
And wouldn't that just be great? Wouldn't it be great
if you didn't have to learn any lessons, if you
didn't have to be like a baby that doesn't know anything,
You don't have to grow.

Speaker 2 (05:35):
You don't have to go to school, you don't have
to learn a curriculum.

Speaker 1 (05:38):
You just get to come into the world fully evolved
be a robot. That's why my name on so many
social medias and dating sides is miss Robot. And oh yeah,
so that's another topic. I always call myself a miss Robot,
miss Robot on dating sides and things like that. And
I realized that people just thought I was a bot,

(06:00):
not that that was a reference to the TV show
Mister Robot, which it is, because I really identified with
that character of mister Robot, and when I was a kid,
I really identified.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
With astro Boy.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
And I just love robots like I just love everything
about them, Guys. They're so slightly so yes, robots and butterflies,
you know, just an interesting topic, maybe perhaps to ponder.
That's all I like to do with this podcast. I
don't like to get anywhere. I don't like to give
any answers. I just like to record my thoughts, you know,
have them linger, have them hanging in the air like

(06:35):
a butterfly. Oh so here's a little bit of investigative journalism.
Not really, but last night, guys, I thought that was
finally gonna happen. I thought I was finally going to
be abducted by a UFO. I am out in the country,
and although I am a farm girl at heart, a
country girl, a country boy at heart, I am not

(06:57):
really used to the.

Speaker 2 (06:58):
Country country nights guy.

Speaker 1 (07:00):
And I was sitting outside of my porch last night
and the moon was really low in the sky and
it was like that slippery New Wish moon and it
was so bright, and the cloud came in from the
vent and I was like, oh my gosh, it's a UFO.

Speaker 2 (07:13):
A UFO has finally come to take me away.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
And I was like, this is where, this is where
the toist in the tail is.

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
I was like, oh my gosh, if this really was
a UFO, if I really did have the chance to
leave this planet as I've been claiming I wants to
do for all these years, would I take it? And
I was like, I would be fucking.

Speaker 2 (07:29):
Panicking if this was a real UFO. I don't know
where they're actually going to take me, but I think
I'd still do it.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I think I would still take the opportunity, seize the
moment to fly to a different planet and just see
what it was all about. But fuck, I would be
anxious as a shit. I would be panicking like there's
no tomorrow. So it does really ask the question, am
I really ready to leave this planet? I don't think so.
I've still got many lessons to learn. I'm not a robot,

(07:56):
I'm not a butterfly. I'm not evolved yet. Stay on
this planet. I'm not ready to leave. I'm just ready
to become the next Oh, I'm so, I'm ready to
become the next butterfly. I'm ready to get into my cocoon. Guys,
I've done enough cocooning. I'm I'm ready to escape my cocoon.

(08:16):
Perhaps I'm ready to go on the robot assembly line
like Superted, another character I really related to, and I'm
ready to come out as another being. But I'm still
very needing, I think, to be on this planet, unfortunately,
and learn these lessons that I absolutely hate learning.

Speaker 2 (08:36):
But that's all you can do.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
So until next time, guys, I'd doc to ice Cream's
thoughts for today. They were a little bit disjointed as usual,
but that's the vibe of.

Speaker 2 (08:45):
This podcast, And until next time. I might be back home,
so to speak. Next time.

Speaker 1 (08:50):
Can you ever really go home. Well, you can always
go home, and you can never go home. So I'll
leave you with that thought until next time. I'll be
back home for the regular scheduled dr ice cream.
