Speaker 4 (02:32):
Soon, Serving Usa, we'll all be playing satur We're gonna
take real soon.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
We're waxing down our supers.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
We can't wait for you.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
We'll all be gone for the summer.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
We're on safari to stay tell the teacher mercer serving USA.
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Wow, uh something to pick up spirits. I mean, as
I said, we lost a great one this week in
Brian Wilson, and I said, we actually lost two great ones.
Sly Stone also passed away this week. I'll mention him
a bit later. I'm gonna go emphasize Brian Wilson right now.
(03:48):
Brian Wilson was a musical genius. His work is unparalleled,
and his song God Only Knows is one of the
most beautifully crafted love songs ever written. I could have
played wouldn't it be nice? Good vibrations, God only knows,
and so many others. But Surfing Usa, as I said,
it's light, it's fun, it's a feel good song. We
(04:08):
need to feel good in these uncertain times as quite frankly,
it's kind of hard to feel good in today's America.
I actually chose Surfin USA because of the chorus, which
is inside outside USA, and it's hard to be inside
America at this moment as we are witnessing a breakdown
(04:28):
in democracy. Those are the other nations are looking at
us from the outside and are wondering what the f
is going on. Many of the Beach Boys songs of
the early sixties were about surfing and getting the girls.
You can say that the California Boys love their California
Girls another great song, and live to catch the waves
(04:50):
and get the gals. California has always been a place
where folks could see the stars that the Hollywood stars
and other stars. Of course, Uh drive on Highway one
along the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific Coast Highway and put
the tap down to enjoy the beautiful weather as we
call it. Baby. I know, and I've driven. I've driven
(05:13):
in a convertible down pch and it was awesome, uh so,
But California, especially Los Angeles City of Angels has been
dealing with some very difficult problems. In early January of
this year, fires destroyed major parts of the Pacific Palisades,
the town and Altadena and little parts of Hollywood and
(05:35):
the valley where where Malcolm is and other areas. LA
is still reeling from those fires in its aftermath, but
now things have got completely mad as peaceful protests have
written risen in response to the tactics of ICE being
used to arrest and make immigrants disappear. LA is not
(05:57):
a DMZ at the militarized zone and there was no
insurrection taking place. The majority of protests are peaceful. Yes,
agitators have infiltrated the protests and criminal activities have taken
place in South LA. Many were caught and arrested, and
(06:17):
I know they're arresting more. All of that is not good,
but it's our right under the First Amendment as citizens
of the US to protest. But it is not right
for mass individuals without proper ideas and warrants to take
people away from their place of work, their homes, schools,
and places of worship. ICE is going into courthouses where
(06:40):
hearings are being held on the status of many immigrants,
and they were arresting them when they leave the court
room while trying to exit the building marines that are
on their way to la and direct violation of the
Posse Comitatis Act enacted in eighteen seventy eight, which it's
the use of US military, including the National Guard, for
(07:04):
domestic law purposes. This is not about quelling a conflict,
It's about control. We have crossed the red line where
the rules of law and checks and balances are failing,
and we are losing our rights and freedoms. In this moment,
I feel I am floating through the vortex of the
upside down world, a world where things are not as
(07:24):
they should be and where the established order is disrupted.
We are living in a reality show and the mad
Hatter is directing his minions to paint the roses red.
Those in charge of the US are taking us backwards,
which is dangerous. Citizens are taking a stand and are
protesting authoritarian rule, and we are living in a world
(07:46):
where chaos reigns, So we have to take care of ourselves.
I know Charlotte always says that to me. She said girl,
get your blood pressure down and take time in this
scary moment to enjoy nature. Look up at the blue skies,
ooh ah, at the ocean sunsets, or river or lake sunsets.
Hike on the majestic mountain ranges and listen to the
(08:08):
birdie sing, which I do every morning when I walk
my doggie. So I just don't know what to make
of the human species though right now and where we're gonna,
you know land? Are we inside or outside of the USA?
Will we get through these difficult times? Can we overcome
the quagmire that we are in? In the words of
(08:29):
the beach boys, wouldn't it be nice? And God only
knows surf's up? But we really don't know where the
tide will take us.
Speaker 8 (08:37):
So our roving artists, eco activists, astrologists, Charlotte Yorsey, will
give us some of her thoughts on the current state
of affairs, and we will.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
Also talk about some environmental issues, some astrology, and some
more so. Charlotte, welcome, Welcome, How are you? Sweetie?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
Hey? At you? I got two green colors for you?
Speaker 2 (09:03):
You do Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:04):
Today I'm gonna bring a light kind of sap green,
almost mustard green.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
What sap green?
Speaker 3 (09:15):
You know, like, well the color of really, I guess.
Speaker 2 (09:19):
Mucus mucas greens. That sounds pretty good. Mucus green, such.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
A pretty color.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Oh, I don't know if we've gotten mucus green before.
This might be a first.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
And then the other green. Is this cool? Not the
kelly green, but this interesting like army green. Yeah, well,
cousin of the mucus green. So let's get that out
of the way. So as you were talking, I want
to just mention real quick that my one of my
favorite albums by the Beach Boys is pet Sounds right.
(09:53):
That's all of the separate vocal tracks, percussion, keyboard, drums, everything, guitar,
and I listened to that over and over and over
and over and over. I raised my children listening to that.
You have got my favorite. And I did see Brian
Wilson in concert in New York City around twenty oh four,
(10:18):
and that was a spiritual experience beyond anything. And it
was a very intimate venue, kind of like the Hammerstein Ballroom.
It wasn't right, but that's not the place it was.
It was like that size and my favorite song in
the end of all this is Little surfer is it?
(10:38):
I love them, all of eyes, the little love songs
that you that were so simple.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
You know what song? I really loved it? Sweet One
of one of my favorite songs is in My Room.
Speaker 3 (10:51):
Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I listened to that so much. I was in my
teen years. And I don't know, Malcolm, do you have
a favorite Beach Boys song? Or Neil, do you no
favorite Beach Boys song?
Speaker 9 (11:08):
And all the surfing music?
Speaker 2 (11:11):
You like the surfing songs?
Speaker 3 (11:12):
Okay, yeah, I mean I like the ballads because that's
like the genre I dig the most well, the songs.
I love those.
Speaker 7 (11:24):
To me, that was Los Angeles because I came out
here in seventy seven and see the surfing.
Speaker 2 (11:29):
Songs were mostly the sixties. They started to get I
mean Brian Wilson, you know he's he was quite.
Speaker 3 (11:38):
It was such a genius. I believed in him, even
when people were saying he was crazy.
Speaker 2 (11:43):
I was like, no, No, he had some tough.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Chapter growing up in a bad family. He went rough.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
You had to tough times.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, he totally had a rough dad. But he had
such great discipline. It was so much fun to see
regression on that one album. It's like got six well,
that's like final records to it. The Pet Sounds, it's
a box set, it's it just is an incredible breakdown
of all the songs.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
Yea, it's really and the and the Beatles listened to
Pet Sounds before they did, you know, Serge and Pepper
and the Beatles like bowed down to him, especially, you
know Paul. You know, there's a lot of stuff going
on on on you know, social media and written in
different papers.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
I stopped at Revolver, you know what I mean. Yeah,
I was like that for me, that's that record, and
then the rest was all gravy.
Speaker 2 (12:40):
And everything's gravy with them, so I know, yeah, I'm
just gonna quickly though. I wanted to mention sl Stone
because because I love everything, and he passed, and Rolling
Stone wrote what he he said about that. Sly Stone said,
he said, if there was anything to be happy about,
(13:01):
and it kind of goes into what we're talking about,
everybody'd be happy about it. If there were a lot
of songs to sing, then everybody got to sing. If
we have something to suffer or across to bear, we
bear it together. And that's what encapsulated the group's arc,
he said, and and they you know it was a
family affair. Dance to the music. Can't can't strain my
(13:25):
brain and I and just let me. I'm gonna just
read this quick, because this is the lyric. Can't strain
my brain is the song, and it goes. I can't
strain my brain. I know how it feels to worry
all the time. I can't take the pain. I know
it feel. I know how it feels to worry over
just a dime. Yes, pleasure was made for us to see,
(13:48):
and you're gonna have to be free. Keep on running
when you feel her pulling back. You're going strong. Don't
stop running. If you're real, you'll never slack. You gotta
go on and and it goes, you know, and it
goes on. But just the whole You know that that
lyric is is something I mean, he he, he said. Yes,
(14:08):
pleasure was made for us to see that we're gonna
have to be free. Can't strain my brain when I
feel somebody trying to bring me down, won't take the rein.
Don't you know you'll never catch me lying down. Can't
bust a man if he feels to make it easier
to see. Can't trust the man, I mean, he had
(14:30):
a lot of problems also, I know, but they're all
freaking geniuses. My my crazy brother was crazy. But the
music he wrote was insane and and and maybe I
don't know kind of even put this, but the but
the but the joy and and and what they gave
to to the world will live forever. Yeah, and we
(14:51):
you know, it's it's a tribute to them and to
all those who make amazing music that that it's last
in your rain, in your mind. It makes you feel good,
throwing on some surf music, throwing on dance to the music,
throwing on you know, stuff that is going to make
you move, make you shake. So I just, you know,
(15:13):
I'm just said that we lost these two wonderful musical icons.
And so here we are back back in back in
the back in the segment here. So so what do
we want to hit first?
Speaker 3 (15:28):
Well, let's talk about LA for two seconds. I pulled
up the chart. The chart of LA is the chart
of LA. Yeah, they have charts for places, and it's like, yeah,
it's the thing, man, le listen to this. So the
sun is in virgo means all about your business, very focused.
(15:52):
That's why so many great entertainment industry. Things are able
to finish there because of the Virgo Sun, and it's
in the twelfth house, which it means it's in the
house of self undoing and the house of visionary. So
there's something really great about La and the whole energy
(16:14):
around it. It has Libra rising, Okay, so Libra rising
is beautiful to look.
Speaker 10 (16:22):
At and inclusive includes everyone, and the moon is in Aries,
so the moon is driven towards perpetually redefining partnership and
working together in groups, and it's manic.
Speaker 3 (16:44):
So that made a lot of sense, especially because in
the sky right now, Saturn and Neptune both are in Aries,
so there's kind of a fresh popping up of new energy.
And if you feel this is an important message, if
you're feeling depressed, don't give in. Find the little germ
(17:08):
of hope because Aries is a very powerful sign. It
rules the head, the mind, the focus, the intent, and
Saturn is all about structure, and so Neptune is the
fantasy the vision of where this structure is going to
(17:30):
wind up. So La being pulled apart like this is
kind of like you can see it a little bit
in the astrology, and thankfully there's enough citizens in LA.
I get so excited when I talk about this that
care and that will be on the ground fighting the
evil that is happening in the right way, so that
(17:53):
God willing, there won't be any bloodshed. Do you know?
Because those pictures are alarming, I want to pain a
couple of those cars on fire. I thought, like, yeah,
I understand that lighting the car on fire. Sorry, but anyway,
I know it's it's that's what I've got about the
chart for LA anything.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
I mean, I didn't know cities have a chart. And
I mean La again, as I mentioned, it's still still
wheeling from the fires. They have to rebuild. I mean,
I know, Malcolm, what's the status of what's going on
with rebuilding them the fires?
Speaker 9 (18:31):
Who the hell knows?
Speaker 2 (18:33):
Who the hell knows?
Speaker 9 (18:34):
Good answer, I haven't heard anything.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
You have any heard anything?
Speaker 3 (18:38):
They have heard that insurance companies drop their customers.
Speaker 2 (18:42):
Yeah, yes, some of them have, yes.
Speaker 3 (18:44):
And I thought, well, that is just what do you
do with that? That is like, isn't that illegal? There's
a lot illegal right now with me? You know, to.
Speaker 7 (18:56):
Rebuild It's number one, is so expensive to reap of
a lot of people. Aside from the you know, well
known people, right the actors, actors and actresses or millionaires.
Normal people can't rebuild just like that. Yeah, they've been
living in the house twenty thirty years and the property value,
(19:16):
you know it is up to millions of dollars.
Speaker 9 (19:19):
But they don't have that type of money.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
I just read I read this article about you know,
West North Carolina got really hit by Hurricane Heleen, very
very badly, and they said that the Amish went over
there recently and built in two days forty tiny homes
so that people can have a place to live in
(19:42):
two days they did this, which was like, hunt, Wow,
that's amazing and and and that's called paying it forward
and working together. And right now we need working together
because we're against some evil doors. I'm gonna just keep
(20:02):
using President Bush's words evil doers.
Speaker 7 (20:07):
We're against some some bad people using his words bad.
Speaker 2 (20:12):
Men and evil doers. I like the evil doers because
that kind of really sets it up. I think that
that word. And uh so, I mean, now we're gonna
have you know, we're we're you know, recording this on
on on June twelfth, and coming up on Saturday is
uh no, King's Day protests which are going to be
(20:35):
all all over the country, and the Birthday Army Bash
that's tearing up the streets of DC as we speak.
It's going to cost over forty five million dollars and
another sixteen million dollars to fix the streets that the
tanks will roll on, because the tanks aren't made to
go on streets. I mean, they're made for combat. This
(21:00):
is this is just.
Speaker 9 (21:02):
Like the Marines are made for combat.
Speaker 2 (21:04):
Then that meant for you, right, the Marines are made
for combat. They are made to be sent to areas
where there's war or whatever something breaks out that needs
to be quashed, not for LA. I mean they're taking
I know the area they are. They're in downtown LA
and it's like a four block square area. It's time
(21:25):
for a station break because we have to do those things.
And we'll be back with Charlotte Yorsey to talk about
astrology LA and you can do astrology on a place
I didn't know that. We'll hit on the environment, talk
about things that are happening in the world and more so,
please stay tuned.
Speaker 1 (21:45):
Hudson River Radio dot com. This is Hudson River Radio
dot com. Hudson River radio dot com.
Speaker 5 (22:07):
This is Hudson River Radio dot com.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
And we are back with Charlotte your Sy to talk
more about uh LA and the planets and astrology and
how that kind of gets in with what LA is
attracting in money. We'll also talk about some environmental issues
with plastic because we always do that, and some more
astrology and talking about a new color too, because because
(22:51):
our friend here, Charlotte is an artist. She's an artist.
She's a wonderful artist. And you gotta look at her
house of truk hot chous. I never pronounced it right.
Pronounce it for me, house of chocolate. It's almost like
slit chocolate. But anyway, all right, so we were talking
(23:12):
in the first segment about LA and you you had
mentioned that LA, that that astrology hits well.
Speaker 3 (23:18):
I was motivated to do the star chart because I
was noticing there's a lot of upheaval and really quick.
The baseline of LA, the rest of it is the
Venus is in Taurus, and Taurus rules money, and it's
in the seventh house, and Venus attracts money in the
seventh house through partnerships. So a lot of what goes
(23:41):
on in LA is relationships. It's like Chase, you know,
the right relationship is everything, and make the bank your
friends somehow. And then Mars is in Leo. There's a
hefty dosage of superficial looking good on the outside when
you are crushing it, which is that ultimate LA business
(24:07):
is to look good doing it. You're doing it and
you're really good at it, but you also look good
because it's show business, and even the people behind the
scenes look good, you know. So there's something really shiny
about LA. I think where there's problems, when people get
problems out there, it's because they don't have the right
people around them, and that can obviously be turn you
(24:32):
into a person that feels very disconnected and not integrated
with their city. But anyway, the transits about LA, that
is the most important bit about what I want to
say is that currently Pluto in the sky in Aquarius
is in the fourth House, the house of the home.
The fourth House rules cancer, your emotions, the beginning and
(24:55):
end of life, and Pluto there in Aquarius rules huge
transformation based on people coming together and really pulling their
energy together to come through the other side. And I
think I dare say that post fires, LA will be
(25:16):
more affordable in the long run, because there's got to
be a breakdown like that fire on some level was
a little bit necessary to break down the enormous cost
that people have to afford to live there. Only the
very wealthiest people can live comfortably insanely, and then they
have to have what a launchpad for their helicopter to
(25:39):
get there on time. I mean, that's kind of ridiculous
in my mind.
Speaker 2 (25:42):
Yeah, that's true.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
It's kind of the same of New York City. So
currently now in the sky the other half of this
breakdown where a community shows up for each other and says, hey,
wait a minute, we're not violent. We want a peaceful protest,
and we want it to be for the people, which
is Pluto in Aquarius is nothing but people's goals when
(26:05):
they are together and focused on the same goal. So
will be interesting to see what happens in the coming days,
Mars and Leo is like, now you are hurting my pride.
So where is people's energy? And it has to happen
on that local level, and I guarantee you they will
come through strong, like the color of la will come out,
(26:29):
you know. I mean he was showing up, you know,
And I'm so glad that the governor said, hey, you
know I didn't invite that.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
You know you did not.
Speaker 3 (26:39):
We're not allowed to do that. Like this is unethical,
you know, constitutional? And who was it? Yeah? On constitutional exactly,
I'm not very well versed. Who was it? Elon Musk
said Trump should be impeached, right.
Speaker 2 (26:56):
And then then he said he said too much.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
He said, bff, I knew it.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
Yeah, now he's back in the fold. You know. It's
like I shouldn't have said that, Musk said, And I'm
like I went too far, and I'm like, in my mind, no,
you didn't.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
It's like, well, it was just really funny. I mean
we're all like grabbing the popcorn and just watching like.
Speaker 2 (27:19):
Oh yeah everything. People were sending me. My friends were
texting me popcorn literally like you know the emoji popcorn
you did you see this? And a beer?
Speaker 3 (27:33):
Right exactly. It's gonna happen again. It's gonna happen again,
and it will happen again. And and my prediction is
that Trump will just spend the rest of his office
going to court because of all stuff he's doing. Well.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
I don't know, the supposed to be a big hearing
court hearing today in the in the Federal Court on
Gavin Newsom. You know, they sued over the National Guard
being used. Yeah, and the worst of all the Marines,
I mean, send you don't send marines who are again
(28:10):
a force to use in war to to non a
non event.
Speaker 3 (28:17):
I mean, the I mean, it's just it's just terribly shocking,
you know. And but my feeling is too, is that
some of those people that are in uniform, they don't
really want to like, they don't want to kill anybody
on their own patriots. They don't want they don't want this.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You know, Well some of them Marines, and I mean
some of the people are coming up and saying, you know,
this is you can't you know, you shouldn't be you
couldn't do that. We shouldn't be doing this, Like this
is not our function. You know. We are a function
to go to areas where there's outbreaks of war, not
downtown Los Angeles in a four block square area, you know, yeah, exactly,
(29:00):
that's not where we should be going. So where this
all is going to go? I mean I have a
feeling that they're basically saying now that there's gonna be
a lot of agitators in the protests on Saturday, they're
saying they're explicitly saying the Proud Boys, which you know,
of course is all rumored. But I don't know. And
(29:21):
that's what worries me about these these protests now that
people are going to and people are bringing their kids,
and the and and the grandparents are going, and I'm like,
and what if these guys show up, and I don't
know what could happen. They're trying to quell it and
quash it and bring these agitators into to hurt people,
(29:43):
you know. Yeah, so I'm a little nervous about this
at this point.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
But well, hopefully my Renton house will stay home.
Speaker 8 (29:53):
You know.
Speaker 2 (29:53):
Yeah, well yeah, I know that's the other thing I'm
worried about in certain states. But well, we'll see where
this all goes. I mean, yeah, it's a very very.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Tough pray for l A. I'm just hoping that all
the people that live and work there will will come
together and do the right thing, because my feeling is
that it's a really good city. It's too bad it's
not more affordable, and that they don't have a better
subway system or whatever so that people can.
Speaker 2 (30:22):
But the protests are in not only there, they're in
you know, Denver, you know, New York.
Speaker 3 (30:29):
Chicago, they come here.
Speaker 2 (30:33):
Well, it's everywhere there. There's like it's a massive there's
gonna be millions and millions of people. While this guy
is the mad Hatter, was looking, you know, to be saluted,
and he's a draft dodger.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Oh, he's just gotta it's gotta crumble at some point,
you know.
Speaker 2 (30:54):
I'm hoping. Yeah, I feel the same way. I feel
the same way you do. I just look weird. We
should happened already. But anyway, so let's get a little
bit on the environmental Uh yeah, always talk about plastics
and uh so this I.
Speaker 3 (31:12):
Was smitten with that article. The last paragraph of that
article you sent me. H, children cannot choose the planet
they will live on. It is our duty as scientists
to ensure that we leave them the best possible environment,
and said the research team leader, taz Takuzo Aida, And
(31:33):
I was, I was really smitten by this. GNN has
previously reported that the amount of plastic waste in the
ocean is currently overestimated by three thousand percent, making the
remaining total a much more addressable challenge. So I feel
that that is true. But it doesn't mean go out
there and litter, right, that doesn't mean stop your behavior.
(31:56):
Like I noticed when my kids found out that the
cardboard that we were recycling was being sent to China,
and then China said, hey, man, no I wanted from America.
Stop it. Cut it out. My kids started throwing plastic
into the garbage, and I was like, hey, hold up,
this is difficult. We recycle seventy five percent of our waist.
(32:17):
Don't stop there. Recycle means you put it aside, you
put it in a pile, and then you figure it out.
They're gonna figure it out, you know. So I was
I was really impressed by that that the plastic is
able to break into breaking apart into nutritious compounds for
ocean borne bacteria in just two to three hours. Well,
(32:39):
that's like eat it for lunch, that's what's it.
Speaker 2 (32:43):
Yeah, Yeah, it's the packaging industry. This is a Japanese
scientist who did that, you mentioned and it's a new
salt water degree.
Speaker 3 (32:52):
Its genius.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
And yeah, and you had mentioned this shows ago. I
think you were talking about the plastic that you know,
you're mentioning this and then you know, I kind of
I looked it up because it could be a major
solution to reducing plastic waste in the environment. If this
is you know, keeps being tested, and if it's real,
I mean, it's just.
Speaker 3 (33:13):
So well, it seems very simple. I love the way
it's laid out. To that end, Researchers at a lab
in Waco City near Tokyo. Waco City near Tokyo used
two ionic monomers to form a salt bond for the
basis of the polymer plastic. Despite being strong and flexible
like normal petroleum based plastics, the material is highly vulnerable
(33:35):
to salt and immersion in salty ocean. Water deserves plastic
in short order. Which doesn't mean go out and buy
plastic and throw it in the ocean, but right, no,
please don't. But if you're buying this plastic like that
is just a genius idea. I just love it.
Speaker 2 (33:50):
I'm hoping that the scientists and the researchers really get
this to the point where it's it's uh, it's beautiful.
Speaker 8 (33:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (33:59):
Oh. And the other thing is the image they use
starry to interrupt is so beautiful. It looks like a
jellyfish and upright, right, plastic grocery bags. It reminds me
of some of my American garbage videos from Brooklyn, where
the bags would roll around like tumbleweed on windy days.
(34:20):
I know, I know, I'm going down the street and
one time I left my house and I found a
five dollars bill. Oh really, this plastic That's like, oh,
grab the money, grab us money. It's like that. It's
like I try to feel that. It's almost like because
I'm a broke person and I make like less than
(34:41):
thirty thousand a year on my own, I like to
see it as like it gives me so much comfort
that the garbage is worth money, that there's money in it,
and that like stuff like this is like they just
need to make it sexy. Somebody needs to run around
(35:02):
plastic plastic, wrap my body in it, and then I'll
jump in the ocean and then I'm about naked.
Speaker 2 (35:08):
Right, Hey baby, there's a way to you know, well,
you said you said the phrase to how we can
make money on it, and then you you also sent
me something about this guy in Australia, New South Wales, Australia.
He they have a long you know, they have a
ten cents per can you know you can cash in
your pen Australian sense, whatever that might be. And you
(35:34):
said this, this guy his name is Damien Gordon. He's
like thirty six and it's Return and Earn program and
I love it and you could get you know, recycle
cans and bottles and he did it for like seven
years and he made forty five thousand dollars and was
able to put a down payment on a house.
Speaker 3 (35:54):
I just think, I mean, I mean brilliant. I lost
the link to the art article, but I had it
in front of me a moment ago, and I just
think that is so brilliant that he was that. See
he probably is like maybe ten years younger than I
am or something or like he's probably like the first
of the millennials born in.
Speaker 2 (36:14):
The eighties in his thirties. Yeah yeah, he's like yeah,
like late he's.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
My son, yeah yeah, late eighties and so adorable, like
picked up Pluto was in Scorpio during those years. And
if there's nothing else that millennials have from that generation
is they really took the exer creed of less stuff
(36:39):
and they went for it and they have a lot
of discipline. So to me, I just find it fascinating
because the guy is so disciplined to just stay on it,
put that money aside, you know, to stay on it,
not give up. You know.
Speaker 2 (36:55):
He got it on first notice. It on the beaches,
right yeah, and in parks. But then he went to
festivals and concerts and saw everyone leaving stuff there and
he got to pick up. Like so he made forty
five I mean seven years, but he made forty five
thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (37:14):
Yeah, okay, I found the link. Yeah, I mean by
thirty six year old Damien. So he's born in nineteen
eighty nine. He's born the year the snake, so so smart,
Like this is just very interesting. It's no secret Australia
is facing complex housing woes. A third of the houses
priced at over a million dollars or more, which is
(37:36):
like probably eight hundred thousand. That's still way too pricey, right,
he wasn't thinking about a steep property ladder. And after
a festival in twenty seventeen and other volunteers separated forty
thousand recyclable containers four thousand dollars after just one event. Yep,
that's that is just so killer.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
I mean, that also takes some work to do. That
you know, and like.
Speaker 3 (38:02):
Send it down collecting hands. But my boyfriend does and
he leaves him out for the people that do the
same thing in Binghamton. He's like, what, don't put anything
in with the bottles. The bottles are separate. I bring
them down, I leave them in a bag. Everyone say,
there's somebody that comes by and gets them, and who
knows how much they're making. I remember when I was
(38:22):
in New York, when I was with a boyfriend. I
was like twenty one, and we didn't have any money.
We went to this abandoned lot, found a garbage bag
and made like forty or sixty dollars just collecting cans
and we found it. Bring him back to him that
we had lunch, and you know, it was like that
(38:42):
we had we had a little bit of money.
Speaker 2 (38:45):
Yeah, reminding me of a chapter in the book Just
Kids by Patti Smith. Oh yeah, that's why she and
Robert Maplethorpe would love to go to Coney Island and
they'd love to go to Nathan's, but they only had
enough money to buy one hot dog, which they split.
You know, I keep that's like I encourage everyone to
(39:09):
read that book. It's an awesome book because Patty Smith
is just an amazing human and male maple Thorpe was
an incredible photographer.
Speaker 3 (39:17):
And as you know, my husband who knows Patty Smith
because he dated somebody whose mom was best friends with her.
Oh yeah, she's really funny. He said. She used to
come sadly strung out and like leave the kids there
for days. Really they're in the little red schoolhouse. But
(39:39):
hey man, it doesn't mission diminish her fabulousity mentions.
Speaker 2 (39:44):
I know she lived in the day for a number
of years, but anyway, there you can get a house
for dollar well now you yeah, because they had such trouble,
but now they're they're they're like one of the biggest
in terms of community gardens that the in the middle
of town that they have put together for people to
get free veggies and people coming, you know, and they
(40:07):
plant stuff. It's it's it's like a really big city
agriculture thing. Is pretty cool. So let's get into before
we have to like wrap up, because we're almost getting there. Teal,
you're you're an artist, So.
Speaker 3 (40:23):
I also wanted to just touch on one other fun fact.
Decided to do a four day work week and production
production has been much better, just so.
Speaker 2 (40:34):
I know I'm going there. I'm gonna find out myself.
I'll report back from Finland. But uh, they have a
lot of good stuff going on in Finland, except the
twenty hours of darkness for four months and cold night.
Speaker 3 (40:51):
I hear you, I hear you. I know it's upsetting
for people.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
But I'm going there, and there's gonna be like seventeen hours.
Speaker 3 (40:59):
Of light when Yeah, you're good shades.
Speaker 2 (41:02):
Oh man, I have my shades ready. I don't know.
You can't fall asleep it's still light at eleven o'clock
at night. But but uh, i'll report back on that
one next time. Uh So, anyway, this this color, there's
a color and you're an artist and and the you know,
teala is like a greenish blue, right, and but uh,
(41:26):
this color is called olo al O Loo.
Speaker 3 (41:31):
And I love the color.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
It's like not Yoko Ono, but Olo.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
And it's uh image, it's interesting.
Speaker 2 (41:45):
Yeah, I mean it's uh it looks green, yeah, the
sign it looks it's a green color. But but scientists
created it somehow, and a color watch approximating a less
seth curated a blue green color that they named Olo
and it can only be seen in a specialized lab
(42:07):
using machines to stimulate only a specific subsett set of
photoreceptors in the human eye. And they were saying, a
rare few people can actually see it, even the created thing,
which which is like now they're you know, gonna do
more research about that.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
I mean, only two percent of the population has green eyes.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Yeah, that's like really, I mean I have hazel eyes,
so I guess.
Speaker 3 (42:32):
I sometimes people would say my eyes look green, but
it's usually what I was wearing, you know, But they
were definitely grayish blue I have.
Speaker 2 (42:40):
I've hazel is my color. That's the even even my
even my eye doctor confirmed it last year. I said,
my eyes green or hazel because they're they're greenish, but
they're hate they're actually hazel. I said, okay, all right,
well we'll go with that. But so anyway, this this
new you know, we search team UH and they're using
(43:03):
computers and you know, they have vision scientist is a
vision scientist named Austin rhords Rudes Rhorta, I don't know,
and computer scientist Richard Ang and they figured out a
method for UH stimulating solely the m cones of the retina.
I don't know what that is, which does not happen
(43:24):
outside of a specialized lab. The experiment is called oz vision,
hearkening back to the classic film The Wizard of Oz.
I guess because of the green you know, Wizard of Oz,
the the Wicked. The Witch was green And did you
see that movie?
Speaker 3 (43:43):
I did.
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Yeah, they're coming up with the second half event.
Speaker 3 (43:46):
Oh no, not the not Wicked. I haven't seen it.
I haven't had time. I'm like the murder shows. I mean,
I shouldn't talk about that here. It's not very green.
Speaker 2 (43:56):
It's red, it's got blood, but not very green.
Speaker 3 (44:00):
Well, I'm always curious. I don't understand why people kill. Yeah,
well that's why I'm so stuck on it. I'm like,
I just don't understand why people are that greedy and
that selfish that they need to Yeah, murder like.
Speaker 2 (44:17):
But we're off the topic of although we're off, but anyway,
I think since we're heading again to well, what what
else are we gonna gonna sign off with here?
Speaker 3 (44:30):
Well, okay, so the astrology in general is there's a
little bit of desperation and grasping going on because of
the the whole business of how it has unfolded, like
like just like looking at what happened in La, it's
(44:51):
like there's a new Like I said, Saturn is in
Aries and Neptune is also in areas at the same degree,
but they have like really opposing energies. Neptune is like
bizarrely expansive and visionary and like a healer, and then
Saturn is like, well, we have to do it like this.
We need to be strict, we can't deviate from And
(45:14):
if you think about it, there are echoes of World
War two because Saturn was in Aries finally when the
war ended, thank god, right, So Saturn in Aries encourages
a little bit of breakdown, and thankfully Pluto is an
Aquarius right next to it. Very harmoniously. They're kind of
(45:37):
moving at the same pace two degrees. There's thirty degrees
per sign. So you see, that's a very nice sex tile.
And with Mars still in Leo, there's a hopefully, you know,
people will drop the charade of who has better stuff
and who has better cars. Let's fix the government.
Speaker 2 (46:01):
You know, like, well we were let other.
Speaker 3 (46:04):
Stuff go and let's fix this.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
It's it's your.
Speaker 3 (46:06):
Problem we're having with this god awful president.
Speaker 2 (46:10):
Yeah, that's insane.
Speaker 3 (46:12):
Wriking so many wrong boxes. It's so weird. It's almost
like he's out there every day with like a baton
and he's just whacking it stuff random.
Speaker 2 (46:22):
Well, this is all to it. You know, this was
prepared years and years ago. And he has the Project
twenty twenty five crew, he has Miller, Stephen Miller, He's Goebels.
I wouldn't even go into it. But anyway, let's let's
turn to something nice now.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
Anyway.
Speaker 6 (46:43):
So the prognosis for all the things, all the signs
this month is Virgo is in the first house, so
there is a sense of urgency around them organizing their
work life, and also there's some type of marriage going on.
Speaker 3 (47:04):
Libra needs to invest in itself. Scorpio in the third
house is a lot about all these new recycling innovations
popping up everywhere. Sagittarius in the fourth is working hard
to get free stuff. You know that guy whose house
was bought with hands that would be interested to know
(47:24):
the birthday, He might want a broke He might be
a Sagittarius getting free stuff. The mood and Capricorn perfect
romance in this in the fifth house. Aquarius in the
sixth house so hopefully there's there's work to do right,
Hopefully the right types of leaders are gonna emerge and
not take any dog do Let's see, Spices in the
(47:48):
seventh House is really a lot about the end of
Neptune and Pisces with that Japanese innovator and the dissolving
plastic and healing the ocean. You know, like that is
just very interesting that Neptune goes into Aries and all
of a sudden the fruits of Neptune and Pisces are visible.
Let's see, So the af House has aries aries, trouble maker,
(48:12):
there could be some some wound licking or wound inflicting.
I know that Trump has a bunch of planets in Aries,
so his emotional state is not quite right, and it's.
Speaker 11 (48:24):
Just more more understatement and more trouble coming, you know,
like I don't know how he can sit through breakfast
without taking an inventory on his decisions.
Speaker 3 (48:36):
But anyway, so, so Aries, if you're having trouble, slow down,
think about it. Anybody who has a lot of aries. Okay,
so Venus is in Taurus, there's a lot of what
you see is what you get right now. And Uranus
is also in Taurus. So hopefully, you know, the people
(48:57):
with a lot of money are going to throw their
money in the right direction, and it's not just going
to be beautiful cars and lovely designer clothing and houses.
You know, it'll be geared more towards you know, the public,
because it is in the ninth House, which rules the public,
public education, educating the world. Let's see, So Gemini is
(49:20):
in the tenth House, and Brian Wilson was a Gemini,
and that's very interesting that this is like, honestly, his
whole life dedicated to making music. And I'm sure these
record sales are going to go off the charts. So
it's a very good time for anybody with Gemini to
be a professional in the public eye.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
My brother was a Gemini.
Speaker 3 (49:43):
Using your ego for the common good. Let's see, Jupiter
is in cancer and mercury in cancer. So there's a
lot of people with a lot of cancer. They might
feel like, oh, I don't really want to do anything
out in public or be a but the truth is
is they need to expand their inner circle a little more.
(50:04):
And I am having my Jupiter return. And what happens
during a Jupiter return is if you work on something
it comes to fruition, but you have to put in
the footwork and then and then Leo my favorite of course,
Mars in the Twelfth House. More famous agitators. Yeah, baby
(50:27):
under the sign, like, so, go for the revolution. Where's
the revolution? It's here, it's there, it's everywhere, it's in
your pants, it's in my pants.
Speaker 2 (50:39):
It's ye.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
So you were You had sent me an article about
how to avoid apocalyptic gloom and the hypernormalization of this
business of accepting the chaos. And all I know is
that always start with yourself, right, take care of yourself first,
(51:03):
and then move out locally into the world. That's the
best way to do this. That article was really long.
I couldn't get through the Yeah, I didn't finish all
and so I was like, there's some interesting concepts there,
and I thought, that's that's very true for anyone with
a lot of Leo, because there's an agitator in Leo
that needs to go public and bring people together. And
(51:26):
that's all like me, that's Moa.
Speaker 2 (51:30):
You know. Every time we talk, Yeah, chill out, Max,
But anyway, I try to chill out. Sometimes I'm getting
ready to go away, so I'm hoping I can chill,
chill out in other parts of the world right now,
just quickly.
Speaker 3 (51:45):
One more thought, one more thoughts.
Speaker 2 (51:47):
We gotta we gotta move on, we gotta move out. Ye,
go ahead.
Speaker 3 (51:50):
This is the month of not taking it personally.
Speaker 2 (51:55):
Okay, I could not good good, good to go quick
thing to you. I want to congratulate you on the
graduation of your daughter. Oh yes, she's graduating high school.
