Testing Normal

This week we are joined by a special guest Joel Garbon. Joel is served as the president of the New Energy Movement, is an author, scientist, inventor, speaker, and expert in the world of extra terrestrial life. He has a wealth of knowledge and theories about these areas and so many more. Obviously being one of our longer podcasts to date we had a great time picking his brain about these and barely scratched the surface. Listen with a curious mind, and form your own conclusions. It went so long that there were no shower thoughts, as our minds had already been blown enough for one evening. Thanks for joining us and sharing your time Joel! We hope to have you back again someday.If you like the music check out the artist here: theearthonfireIntro song links: Spotify Apple MusicPlease subscribe to us on YouTube and join us live for our weekly recording!Follow us on InstagramFollow us on Facebook for the easiest way find us live.Links discussed in episode:

HOLY RECORDING AND STREAM KEPT CUTTING OUT BATMAN!!!We struggled to get this episode streaming and recording. The software kept cutting the stream and then losing the recording throughout this episode. We were able to recover a lot of it and still had a good time, but WOW what a test of patience. This week we discuss such things as Elon Musk’s Neuralink which has been testing connecting to animals brains with the hopes to use this to assist those with disabilities, but also enhance the human experience to even more police violence. So much craziness has taken over this world for the good and the bad, and we want to continue the conversations that we find not only important but interesting. We DID get into shower thoughts, but they were sadly cut-off in the recording. We collected the ones that we read below in the show notes. See ya next time for a hopefully smoother experience!
