BW CEO Bob Chapman often tells a story about meeting Steve Jones, who was formerly a high school football coach who led his teams to five consecutive state titles from 2013-2017 with an incredible run of 70 consecutive victories, a Wisconsin state record. With those impressive credentials, Bob asked Steve what he taught his players about winning and losing. Steve said they didn't. He said that they teach them to play their position well for their fellow team members. Do it as an act of respect for their fellow team members. He said, “When people truly care for one another, it's amazing how hard they will work for each other.” To Bob, it begged the question: if you create an environment of unconditional care, wouldn't the people there want to “play their position well” for their teammates? Our friend, Shawn Murphy, has written a book about teams, team building and team performance: Work Tribes: The Surprising Secret to Breakthrough Performance, Astonishing Results and Keeping Teams Together. To Shawn, one of the key aspects of an environment of unconditional care is belonging. As he wrote in a guest post on our Truly Human Leadership blog: "As human beings, we are wired to belong. Some researchers say that belonging is what bonds people together. It's the bond that is either life-giving or life-depleting... Of course, the reverse is true when you don't feel a sense of belonging. You protect your thinking. You become hyper-focused on yourself. You limit pro-social behaviors. You close yourself off to relationships. Your potential is limited. Yet, when a leader can help someone feel like they belong to the team, the team benefits. Ultimately the company benefits. Human potential is unleashed. Mediocrity is diminished." As we often say, everyone wants to know that who they are what what they do matter. That is important for every leader to remember. On this podcast, you'll hear a discussion with Shawn as he talks about Work Tribes and the idea of helping your people feel like they belong.

On this special LIVE REMOTE BROADCAST of CASCADE OF HISTORY, Feliks Banel is joined by co-host Lee Corbin to mark the centennial of the around-the-world flight which concluded at what's now Sand Point/Magnuson Park in Seattle, just a short distance from the SPACE 101.1 FM studios. Corbin and Banel interview historians and aviation experts - including Knute Berger, historian Mike Lombardi of Boeing, Ted Huetter of the Museum of Flight and US Air Force Brigadier General Frank Goodell - and provide live coverage and color commentary on the centennial festivities organized by the Friends of Magnuson Park. Thank you to special guest Jay of Jay's Radio Hour for spinning 78rpm discs from 1924 to mark the occasion. Special thanks to field producer Shawn Murphy, and to Eric Zappa and Megan Hanna of SPACE 101.1 FM who ran the mixing board back at the station. NOTE: This live and remote local radio broadcast was not without technical glitches, and audio quality of some of the vintage 78rpm records suffered at times. It's all part of the magic of broadcasting LIVE from a grassy field (including when someone cut the power by tripping on the extension cord). Enjoy! This LIVE three-hour broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 12:30 pm Pacific Daylight Time on Saturday, September 28, 2024 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from the NOAA facility adjacent to Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
Tune in as Shawn Murphy (Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies Podcast) rejoins the program to review and recap Color of Night, the 1994 erotic thriller that takes us on a wild and atmospheric ride with a color-blind psychiatrist who gets himself caught up in a murder mystery and a steamy affair simultaneously. An intense BTS feud that led to different cuts of this movie being released, drawing inspiration from giallo, the therapy group in the plot acting like a dysfunctional family, and 90s-era queer representation that's both progressive for its time and dated for our contemporary world comprise just a few of the subjects that get coverage in today's episode. Directed by Richard Rush, Color of Night stars Bruce Willis, Jane March, Rubén Blades, Lesley Ann Warren, Scott Bakula, Brad Dourif, Lance Henrikson, Kevin J. O'Connor, Andrew Lowery, Eriq La Salle, Jeff Corey, Kathleen Wilhoite, Shirley Knight, and Erick Avari.

This week we're all "abuzz" to start on a new franchise. We're dipping our toes back into classic horror with 1958's science fiction / horror tale of experimentation gone amuck with THE FLY. This is the film that made Vincent Price a horror icon (even though he's in a supporting role) and contains marvelous special effects, a fantastic creature reveal, and one of the most disturbing finales ever in a horror movie. This week Mike, Brian, and Nicole are joined by Shawn Murphy from the Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies podcast to talk B-movies, the ethical dilemmas in science research The Fly raises, how the film reflects the status of disabled persons during this time and why those last five minutes still pack a nightmarish wallop.

Tune in as the Rebecca Hall of Fame dishes out its fourth episode of the month! Clayton Jones II and Shawn Murphy (Men Who Like Men Who Like Movies Podcast) are retaking their guest seats for a breakdown of The Prestige. Adapted from the Christopher Priest novel of the same name, this 2006 mystery-thriller follows the increasingly hostile and obsessive rivalry between a pair of talented stage magicians in 1890s London. Talking points for this episode include nitpicking the movie's unrealistic depiction of drowning, Clayton's distaste for The Illusionist, and the hosts' favorite Michael Caine roles in a Christopher Nolan movie. Directed by Christopher Nolan, The Prestige stars Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Rebecca Hall, Scarlett Johansson, Michael Caine, David Bowie, Andy Serkis, Piper Perabo, Samantha Mahurin, Roger Rees, Jim Piddock, William Morgan Sheppard, Ricky Jay, Chao Li Chi, and Edward Hibbert.

Get ready to relive the thrilling spectacle as FSU baseball crushes the Gators with a score that's nothing short of epic! In this episode, we tear into the Seminoles' most historic performance, dissecting their 19-4 victory that invoked the mercy rule against their arch-rivals. Feel the electricity that charged the atmosphere, rivaling the fervor of a football showdown, and propelled the FSU lineup to greatness. We're not just recounting runs and hits; we're celebrating milestones like West's first home run as a Knoll and offering up theories on what might be eating away at the Gators' spirit. And as if that weren't enough, we're tipping our caps to the Masters, where the timeless charm of Augusta's greens beckons and the world of professional golf holds its breath in anticipation.Shifting gears from bats to tackles, this chapter hones in on the defensive titans-in-the-making set to don the garnet and gold. We spotlight the top five FSU football newcomers, starting with the buzz surrounding Shawn Murphy's leap from Alabama and the fresh energy of Charles Lester III straight out of high school. We're not just listing names; we're painting a picture of a defense transforming before our eyes, with the likes of Marvin Jones Jr. primed to reinvigorate the Seminoles' pass rush. Toko's transfer is poised to add a layer of grit to the line, and though we leave you hanging on the details from West Virginia, rest assured the garnet and gold fortress is set to become an impregnable stronghold this coming season. Strap in, because we're bringing you a glimpse of the future stars who are about to light up the gridiron.@TheNFLSN https://twitter.com/TheNFLSN

This LIVE broadcast of CASCADE OF HISTORY was originally presented at 8pm Pacific Time on Sunday, October 15, 2023 via SPACE 101.1 FM and streaming live via space101fm.org from studios at historic Magnuson Park – formerly Sand Point Naval Air Station - on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle.
Being a musician in New Jersey has got to be a tough road. On one hand, you have one of the most revered artists in music history, and on the other hand, you have Jon Bon Jovi. Their combined album sales and streams are too many to count. Eating, breathing, and gigging around those giants and hidden in the cracks and on the backroads are loads of artists who stand on their shoulders and in their shadows. Above the Moon is one of those bands. They are Kate Griffin on guitar and vocals, Shawn Murphy on lead guitar, Kyle Griffin on bass, and John Gramuglia on drums. Formed in 2016, they immediately began creating the music THEY wanted to hear. By incorporating influences like singer-songwriter fare to traditional rock, with some shoegaze and pop thrown in for good measure. Above the Moon has carved out a distinctive sound that is authentically them. After a string of EPs, the band has released their first full-length album, Mine Again. Kate and Shawn stopped by Thunderlove Studio to talk about the new album and a bunch of other stuff. Stories were told, and laughs were had. Pull up a chair; here is their conversation with Keith and Geoff. LINKS Above The Moon Website Above The Moon Bandcamp Above The Moon IG Above The Mon FB The Katies David + David Tripping Daisy

“Today, leaders need to recognize the impact work has on peoples' overall life satisfaction. It is an antiquated belief that leaders should focus solely on the professional side of team members' lives. Work needs to be a positive influence, given that it consumes much of our waking time. The work we do and how we feel about it shapes our identity. Leaders have a responsibility to help their teams understand the importance of their work."

If you are a regular listener, please provide feedback on The Spiritual Forum podcast here: https://revcarol.wufoo.com/forms/mbzaqtj1kis579/ Shawn Murphy started his spiritual journey at the age of 14 after leaving the Catholic Church. His search for a logical explanation of Christianity took him on a journey through history, philosophy and eighteen different religions. As an engineer and entrepreneur, his curiosity led his search for a logical explanation of the spiritual world and the original teachings of all the prophets and Jesus. He has published four books and numerous papers on religion, and spirituality. He is a prolific writer on Quora with over 6.6 million views and the creator of three spaces there: The Spiritual World, Early Christian Wisdom and Torn Between Two Worlds. In this episode we have a lively exchange and cover: • The first Christians • Scientifically based theologians • Origen of Alexandria • The consistency of spiritual and material laws • Socrates, Plato & Aristotle (who contributed what) • The order and logic of God/Creator • The making of a true philosopher • The book of Revelation as history, not prophecy • The Restoration of All Things (Origen's teaching) versus the Doctrine of Salvation • Rhetoric versus Wisdom Shawn Murphy links: https://linktr.ee/tornbetweentwoworlds

He also works to help people learn to trust their intuition and create a life full of meaningful and fulfilling experiences. https://tornbetweentwoworlds.com/ BRANDON HANDLEY Hey there's, spiritual dope. I am on here today with Sean Murphy. Sean Murphy reached out to me in an email, and I couldn't resist as he reached out and said, hey, let's collaborate. And the information that you shared with me that you're hoping to share this message of hope for people that have been suffering from mental illness to new parents with children. You and I spoke a little bit on the front end of this. I think that you've got a great message for children or for parents that are raising children. How do we do it in a spiritual way? You can call it whatever you want, but I think in a way that allows for children and humans to grow up believing in who they are, which inherently allows for, I think, faster, quicker, easier spiritual process. Right. In addition, you also do some mentoring with clairvoyance mediums, and specifically those that do not have a good spiritual support system. Love to hear more about that. And you share quite a bit more. And I just said, you know what? This makes sense. And you come from a business and engineering background, too, which is always, I think, a challenge. And a big part about what this podcast is about to begin with is how do we blend the two worlds, right? Like, we've got this. You're either spiritual and you're out in the woods and you're hugging a tree sean. Or you're this materialist who's cutting down the trees and shoving the spiritual people out of the way. But I think what you found is something that a number of people have found or are looking to find, is that you can have both worlds exist at the same time. SHAWN MURPHY Yeah. One of the papers that I wrote is called A Return to the Times of the Founders of Science and Religion. Essentially, if you look at the time between Homer and Socrates, 3000 to two and a half thousand years ago, this is a place and time that Galileo went back to, that Erwin Schroeder went back to, to rediscover a holistic view of science and religion, science and spirituality, essentially. And as an engineer, as a scientist, I am drawn to that and finding out that Pythagoras was a spiritual healer, he was a musician, socrates was a sculptor. Besides being the father of logic and that harmony that exists at that time between spirituality, science, logic is just a major draw in my life. And I try to bring that out to other scientists, other engineers who want to find logic in spirituality. And that's the connection that I have with business people and with logical thinkers, is there is a lot of logic behind spirituality? BRANDON HANDLEY Not for sure. I appreciate that, and it's amazing. Like you're saying, we go back thousands of years to the time of Socrates and Pythagoras, and we learn a lot of things about those people that we certainly weren't taught in school. Right. The spiritual elements and some of their actual philosophy. We learned a couple of things that they think the education system thinks that we should know. This will help support you and your education in certain ways, but they leave out some of these, I think, larger elements. If you didn't go, unless you went to some type of private school or Catholic school or what have you, spiritual element is ignored right. In the education system. So, Sean, I usually like to start these off with the whole idea that you and I are merely vessels for universal energy, and it's expressing itself to and through us and generally for somebody's highest and best. Good. Right. Hopefully. And to that end, the conversation that you and I are going to have, you and I will understand. Right. And we'll think we're having that conversation, but there's going to be somebody who tunes in, and they're going to hear a completely different conversation that's meant only for them. What do you think that message is for that person? What's coming through you today? SHAWN MURPHY Well, I think the most important message that I try to portray to people, and it's what inspired me to start writing was that we are, as you said, we're all spiritual beings. We existed before we came into this life. We came into this life for a reason, for purpose. And as I said, discovering that purpose is the most important thing you can do in this life for me. People talk about spiritual awakening. I've had five in my life peeling back the onion, as it were, of my material life and understanding what my original spiritual meaning was. And anytime you can peel back one of the layers of that onion, you have this opening up of a world that you didn't understand before. It's scary, it's different, but that's what we're here to do. We're here to learn and discover. It's been a scary road for me at some times, but more recently, it's been really enjoyable to peel back another layer and find a new part of me. BRANDON HANDLEY Perfect five awakening five. So let me ask you this. If you've experienced one, I think a lot of people feel like the awakening in of itself is enlightenment or the end of the road, like, hey, look, I'm working on my awakening. And then, as I'm sure you experienced for yourself, the awakening is or an awakening is kind of like the beginning, which is almost annoying. You're like, what do you mean? I just got here. I've worked my whole life and we got here. This is amazing, but this is just the beginning. And then to have five, I'd love to hear more about that because it's like you said, an awakening can be scary in of itself. But to have multiples is, it kind of like it gets easier as it goes along. Is each one of them like this roller coaster? Tell me a little bit more about that. SHAWN MURPHY Well, the first one was when I was 14, when I was a child. People always said, he's going to be an engineer because he takes everything apart. When he puts it back together, it still works. So I was kind of indoctrinated in this idea that I was an engineer. And I certainly had a very logical mind. It was an excellent mathematician. But every Sunday I went to church and it didn't make any sense to me. Right. And and and I had this question in my my mind and said, if God created this, why can't I understand Him? And at the age of 14, I embarked on a mission to try and answer that question. I left the Catholic Church. My parents required me to go to church every Sunday, so I still went to church. I went to the Baptist church, I went to the Jewish services, I went to Hindu services. I just looked around and tried to find an answer. If there is a God, then I should be able to understand Him, because he made this according to you. Right. And so by the time I graduated from college, I had looked at 18 different religions. The one that appealed to me the most through that journey was was Buddhism. And I kind of gave up the search after I left college because I really didn't find an answer to my question, original question. And it wasn't until I was 30, I guess 32 or 33, that I had the second awakening, which was an inner drive, forcing me to study everything I could about spirituality. And then a year later, my daughter was born in the 28th week. She was about that big. She was 1300 grams. And then I realized why I spent so much time learning about spirituality, because this test that was given to our family was one that I needed support with. And my studies had helped me to be optimistic and positive about this tiny little girl who came into our lives and helped me to become the right father for her. BRANDON HANDLEY Absolutely sounds like that was definitely a challenge. But I mean, even to have kind of this awakening at an early age or I think the yearning for an answer at the age of 14 and the idea that, hey, if I'm created by God, then there should be some type of innate understanding of this whole system. And that makes sense, right. I think that I can buy into that. I love that. You dove into, like, 18 different religions, so you just kind of went through each one of these, and you probably had a lot of seeds planted at that point in time, right? Each one of those kind of imparted a thing. And I'm certainly curious to hear more about what you found was similar throughout all of those. SHAWN MURPHY Well, that's interesting. You asked the question. I use this image in my work. It's the image of the three blind men and the elephant. If you know the image and the study of all these religions, maybe take a step back, and it's one of the gifts that I've had. It's one of those double edged sword gifts. But I see things from 50,000ft. I see the big picture, and it causes me a lot of traumas on a lot of times, believe me. BRANDON HANDLEY Sure. SHAWN MURPHY But I started looking at all these religions I was studying and looked at the commonality, as you said, between them, and likened it to if. Here's the truth. It's an elephant, four legs, a trunk, a tail, and I've got all these blind men walking around a bit. One of them thinks it's a tree, one of them thinks it's a wall. One of them thinks it's a snake. That's how I see religion. There are all these prophets sent with the same message, and they were understood differently by different peoples. BRANDON HANDLEY Yeah. SHAWN MURPHY And there can only if you believe in a spiritual world and if you believe in Creator, there can only be one truth. And by looking at all those religions, you can maybe understand essentially what it might be. BRANDON HANDLEY And that makes sense. That always has made sense to me. You're given a message, even you, right when writing your books and your stories. And I'm sure that with your engineering background and your sense of logic, you're sharing it in a way that should be digestible. Right. But there's still going to be somebody who then reads what you said maybe, and they go to share it with somebody else and be like, this is what he's saying, and they're going to mess something up, or they're just not going to interpret it the way that you would. Like I said about this conversation that you and I are having, somebody's going to tune into it, and they're going to be like, this is what they're saying, and that's not what we're saying at all. Right. Not only is the message that you're sharing out and the message of religions that have been shared out through thousands of years being misinterpreted. Right. Then over thousands of years, they become degraded or degenerated almost from the original intent. And it just becomes like the stuff that people say, but nobody has an understanding of the words that are coming out of their mouth. SHAWN MURPHY Yeah, that's true. I grew up in the Catholic Church, and I spent a lot of my time trying to understand how it became what it was or what it is. And that was a difficult journey, I really have to admit it. I spent a lot of time looking at its history, reading the catechisms, reading the console findings and so forth. I think it's easier to look at today with the political situation that's going on, to understand how politics can really twist up the truth. One of the most important aspects of spirituality that I teach is reincarnation. And this basically Buddhist idea that we come numerous incarnations until we become perfect and we no longer need to come back as humans anymore. So we become perfect spirituality in a spiritual sense. And that's exactly what Jesus says. He says you must become perfect as God is perfect. And Christians deny that today. Christians deny also the fact that he said you need to love your enemies. But the concept of reincarnation helps me to understand why I need to love my enemies, because they're always with us, and they're always developing with us. Right. They're on a path that we're on, but maybe they just started it, but in the end, they will have finished it. So in the end, we're all brothers and sisters. There's no enemies in the end. BRANDON HANDLEY That makes sense, too, right, in regards to even love thy neighbor as thyself kind of thing, or we're all one in that line of thinking. So I want to get back real quick on the awakenings. Right. The one thing I definitely want to know is myself. Having had a singular one that I would call almost like the big bang and the kind of the roller coaster of that I'd love to hear more about, just, I guess, the overall experience, like you're talking about, you had your daughter come in pretty early, but having had the awakening prior to it so that you could prepare yourself for that, right? I think the idea of Providence comes into that as well, where you're always given kind of what you need right before you need it, even though you don't know why you got it. Right. Why would I have another awakening? I'm pretty in step with all this stuff. So what would you say to that? Is each one a little bit different? Do they all have a similar element? What's your experience been on that? SHAWN MURPHY They've all been instigated by an outside force. In my life, I was blessed with an empathic daughter. BRANDON HANDLEY Okay. SHAWN MURPHY Somebody who just exudes love. She's caring, helpful, stops fights in the playground. Just is an amazing, amazing person. A very, very old soul. And my wife and daughter went to visit my mother. And after the visit, my mother called me up and she said, your daughter is so beautiful and loving and caring. You were like that when you were her age. What happened? My mother said this. She said what happened? Right? And I was the youngest of five children and my older brothers and sisters didn't appreciate me for who I was and that's what happened, right? So I went on this journey because I knew who my daughter was. And for me to think I was like that at some time in my life, I was like that when I was five years old. So I went on this journey of trying to discover my inner child. And it was a long journey, lots of pain and suffering along that journey. I never discovered it. I'll just put it that way. But it opened up a lot of doors for me. BRANDON HANDLEY Real quick there. When you say you never discovered it, we never discovered what your inner child or in touch with that empathetic soul that you are. SHAWN MURPHY No, I never really discovered what happened to me when I was a young child. BRANDON HANDLEY Got it. SHAWN MURPHY I never discovered those memories. BRANDON HANDLEY Right? SHAWN MURPHY And I came to peace with it in the thought that maybe discovering those memories is not the best thing for me. BRANDON HANDLEY Fair enough. And I don't know about you, but along this journey, I find the more that I try to chase something down, the more elusive it is, right? And then the moment I say, alright, I'm fine, I'm good, I'm going to take my ball and go. That's when everybody shows up. All the things are like, oh, we're right here. We've been here the whole time. Okay. So who knows? Sounds like that still could happen for you. It's interesting that you bring that up because we talked a little bit about that too in the beginning. I listened to another episode of yours. We talked about how do you keep the children from getting squashed? How do you keep that empathy alive? How do you keep that old soul to hopefully get to perfection in this lifetime, for lack of better terminology, in a better way or something? So my guess is that you found some of those ways yourself. I'd love for you to share that with the group here. SHAWN MURPHY Yes, I did. I actually connected to a number of people on the similar wavelength. Friend of mine is founder of a school in India that specifically caters to enhancing a child's spiritual self, help them discover their spiritual self. But certainly you can look at all the stuff, but my daughter was born 180 degrees outside of me. She's 180 degrees different than I am today. Well, today and when she was born, she's completely different. Right? BRANDON HANDLEY Right. SHAWN MURPHY I'm an engineer, I'm a logical thinker, a mathematician. She's not she's creative. She's an actress, a singer, a musician. I'm none of those things. So she's completely different than I am. Now, what that meant was that I had to conform in some way as a father. I could have forced her to be like me, which I didn't want to do. And I promised my wife I wouldn't do that. BRANDON HANDLEY Right. SHAWN MURPHY So I had to try to discover who she was and to find the right coaches to help her with those things that I have no idea about. BRANDON HANDLEY Sure. Yeah, that makes sense. SHAWN MURPHY I'm not an actor. I'm not a musician. I'm not a singer. BRANDON HANDLEY Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense. I think that's great that you did that. Right. You realized that it wasn't within your immediate capacity to be able to help her to foster the truth of who she is, and so you look for some people that might be able to. SHAWN MURPHY Yeah. BRANDON HANDLEY That's pretty powerful. One of the things, too, that we talked about here, you talked about in the beginning here is the idea that we come here for a reason and a purpose, and that discovering that is kind of the most important thing you can do. Right. Who is it? Mark Twain? Almost. What have you found in your coaching and your daily life and your searches here? A what do you feel like if you had to state what your purpose is? I'd love to hear that. And B, how do you help others and do you help others to find that for themselves? And what's that look like? SHAWN MURPHY Have you ever read Victor Frankel? BRANDON HANDLEY Yeah. Man. Search for me. SHAWN MURPHY Man search for me. In my work, I pull on many of these experts who have spent their lifetime developing an area of expertise, people like Byron, Katie, Victor Frankel, Dr. Edward Bach. Many, many others who I point people to. Just don't take my word for it. Take somebody's word for it who spent their life studying these topics. BRANDON HANDLEY Sure. SHAWN MURPHY How to find joy in your life, how to discover yourself. And that's what I lean on in trying to discover myself. And I think I say in my book that it's the most important thing that I think a person can do. But that's backed up by what Franco said. He said the people who survived Auschwitz had meaning in their life to survive it. BRANDON HANDLEY Right. SHAWN MURPHY And if you think about the high level of depression and suicide tendencies in young people today, I correlate that with here's a soul, a spirit coming into this lifetime with a purpose. And in this heavily material world, the soul can't actualize that purpose. Right. They have parents telling them that they need to get a job and do something materialistic, but they have a different purpose. BRANDON HANDLEY Right. SHAWN MURPHY And that depression is a spiritual depression because the spirit can't do what it came in this life to do. Right. BRANDON HANDLEY Yeah. SHAWN MURPHY That's why I say the most important thing is to help children understand what their talents are, what their spiritual gifts are. So that they can be fulfilled in childhood and also be fulfilled in adulthood. BRANDON HANDLEY Right. Do you find and look, I'm all for helping the children again. And is that what you feel like your purpose is as part of this, too? Is your purpose in helping create a space like that? SHAWN MURPHY My personal purpose is helping people who are misunderstood to being able to listen to people who are misunderstood. And I'm not trying to save the world. I'm trying to help individuals. I've met a couple of budding clairvoyance who had no support system around them. Nobody believed them, right? And I discovered them, and they kind of cling to me because I'm the only person who sees them for who they are and recognizes who they are. That, to me, is my purpose. I've talked a lot about that in different interviews of how I know that that's my purpose, but I feel it very strongly. BRANDON HANDLEY I think that's what matters most. There's a really good book called what is it? The Permission to Beat His Light or something like that, based off of, I think, Adler's work in the end, right. You assign the meaning, and I'm sure that's kind of like where Victor Franklin gets to too. You personally assign the meaning to the thing, whatever it is, and then you kind of get behind it and you work with it, and that becomes kind of like your life work until it changes or whatever. I'm sure there can always be nuanced. SHAWN MURPHY And they would say, well, when one twin had schizophrenia, there's a 50% chance that the identical twin had schizophrenia. And I was like, that's a coin toss, right? That doesn't tell me anything. BRANDON HANDLEY Sure. SHAWN MURPHY So after my second master's degree, I had a statistics professor who was a good friend, and I went and downloaded all these identical twin studies and looked at the data that they had collected. And then I called up Roger and I said, Roger, am I stupid? Because this doesn't make any sense to me. These identical twin studies show that schizophrenia if I'm an identical twin, there's a 50% chance that I am schizophrenic. If I'm a fraternal twin, there's a 20% chance I'm schizophrenic. If I'm a sibling, there's a 10% chance that I'm schizophrenic. If I'm the parent, there's a five or 1% chance that I'm schizophrenic. I said, Roger, you need five variables to define that equation, right? And he said yes. He said, I've actually studied that. I've studied those statistics in the past, and there is no covariance between the variables. Well, our current model for humanity is that we are a product of genes and environment. There's two variables. The statistics say you need five. BRANDON HANDLEY Right? SHAWN MURPHY So I wrote MIT and I said, you're doing a new twin study. Why don't you gather more data to discover what these other three variables might be? BRANDON HANDLEY Sure. SHAWN MURPHY And they said, well, we understand the problem, and we're looking in the genes for the answer. I said with genes are a variable. You can't look inside of one variable to find the answer. BRANDON HANDLEY Right? SHAWN MURPHY But that's the statistical information that showed me that we are much more than just our genes in our environment, right? BRANDON HANDLEY It's interesting to get the poke from statistics, right? Be like, hey, wait a second. I think that's awesome because these revelations can come from, like, anything, right? Awakenings can come from biting your tongue. And something could happen in that instant where you're just like, it all makes sense, right? It all kind of comes together and, like, you perk up and you're like, oh, that's what they were saying. That's what was happening. And here's what we need to kind of kind of do to flesh that out. Sean, let's talk about real quick your book series, Torn Between Two Worlds. What's happening in those series? And what can somebody expect to find within the series? SHAWN MURPHY Well, the series was written to talk about originally the first three dimensions where there's tension. I mean, there's tension between science and religion. Some people think that one can't exist without the other. And what I did and I mentioned some of the people schrodinger yellow leo and so forth. What I did was try to eliminate the tension between those two extremes to say that there was a time when science and religion or science and spirituality were won. And let's stop looking at the differences and let's start using the tools that science has created to examine religion. BRANDON HANDLEY What are some of those tools? SHAWN MURPHY Well, logic and reason. BRANDON HANDLEY Okay. Yeah. SHAWN MURPHY Let's understand where these doctrines came from. And many of them came from powerful men, right? They came from corrupt men. As I said before, reincarnation was taught in Christianity up until the 6th century Ad. When the emperor of Rome declared it as heresy and replaced it with the concept of eternal damnation. BRANDON HANDLEY Fact there. Right? I mean, that's crazy. Yeah. SHAWN MURPHY It's a political tool. BRANDON HANDLEY Yeah. Right. SHAWN MURPHY Eternal damnation is a political tool. BRANDON HANDLEY Right. SHAWN MURPHY And that's what you use to control the people. BRANDON HANDLEY That's right. SHAWN MURPHY You can't control people who believe in reincarnation now. BRANDON HANDLEY They'll be like, Better luck next time. SHAWN MURPHY Yeah. BRANDON HANDLEY Better luck next time. SHAWN MURPHY That's the point of the first book. The second book is torn between wisdom and rhetoric. It was the most difficult of the four books that I wrote for me to write because I intellectually understand the difference between wisdom and rhetoric. But I'm not always clear on the two in my own life. But that is trying to point out how rhetoric is used politically to create these rules. But yet wisdom is something that can only be learned through experience and through long study and is a very different character to it. The fourth book is torn between materialism and spirituality. And kind of going back to the original question you asked is how do we live as material beings and knowing that we're spiritual beings? Also, how do we deal with this balance? Some spiritual people neglect their material side. Right. Many people don't acknowledge a spiritual side to their life. So how do you find that balance between being here, being a business owner, being a worker, being an accountant, and being a spiritual person? BRANDON HANDLEY Sure. SHAWN MURPHY Right. And that's something I worked through for a long time, because I was in the investment business, in the money business, and when I became awakened to my spiritual self, I thought, oh, no, I shouldn't be in this business. BRANDON HANDLEY Sure. She has to struggle, right? SHAWN MURPHY For sure. BRANDON HANDLEY How did you come to terms? SHAWN MURPHY But I realized that that's the business that needs spiritual people in it. Okay. It needs light to overcome the darkness that's actually in that business. BRANDON HANDLEY Sure. SHAWN MURPHY The fourth book is a completely different book because it goes into the self help area. It was written in honor of Dr. Edward Bach, who wrote heal thyself. I don't know if you've ever read it. No, it's a it's a 20 minutes read. BRANDON HANDLEY I have 20. SHAWN MURPHY No, he he suggested that as a doctor, the best thing that he can do is to teach his patients to use their knowledge of themselves to heal themselves, because as a doctor, he doesn't know about everything that's happening in my life or your life. You know more about yourself than anybody can ever know. And I should, as a doctor, teach you to heal yourself based on what you know about yourself. This takes it one step further from what he talked about, but in the same vein, to help people discover the spiritual battles that they're in in their life, the spiritual baggage that they brought with them, along with their spiritual gifts that they brought with them into this line. And then to provide a plethora of treatments, of natural treatments, to increase their energy level, to dispel the negativity from their life and to just become stronger spiritual. BRANDON HANDLEY That sounds great. Sounds absolutely helpful. Right. When I think of the idea that you bring up there, though, spiritual battles and spiritual gifts and our spiritual baggage, do you have some tools? What's one way that one or two ways that somebody can recognize any of those in their lives? SHAWN MURPHY Well, they're basically pretty much confined to the area of mental illness. I tell people that I went with my wife to the cardiologist, and she needed a mitral valve replacement, and the cardiologist said that this surgery is 97% successful. And then I thought about it, and I said what? Mental health treatment is 97% successful? Right. BRANDON HANDLEY We it's all or nothing, right. SHAWN MURPHY On the on the physical, physical side, from what doctors do in surgery, the success rate is very high. Right. But when it starts to get into things that have a spiritual cause, which mental illness does, the success rate is horrible. BRANDON HANDLEY It is. SHAWN MURPHY In treating depression and did and schizophrenia. It's horrible. And so the people that I'm reaching out to. Are the people who have been on the drugs and the drugs aren't working, and they're looking for something different. They've been on antidepressants. They've been on antipsychotics, and they're not working because the voices are still there, and that's the spiritual battle that they're dealing with. BRANDON HANDLEY Right, yeah. That makes sense. As a society, we don't try to typically, and I think I would say up until more recently, either accept it. Right. I know quite a few people now that are, like, mediums clairvoyant or in that space, and it was scary for them to open up and share that with the world. But now that they are, they're better for it versus, oh, we better shut that down. Right. You want that to stop? We want it to stop for you. Because if we don't have an understanding of it, if we don't have this kind of and I think this goes to your very point of this logic and this science and these tools and reason and attaching spirituality to it if we don't have a reason to it. Because we precluded the spiritual spirituality can be a part of any science. Right. If we take all that out and we're trying to apply logic and you're missing a key element, you're never going to solve it. SHAWN MURPHY Exactly. What a lot of people don't understand in the New Age sort of practices is that there are natural laws, and the natural laws are pretty simple. There are spiritual laws that created those natural laws. BRANDON HANDLEY What's an example of that. Yeah, what's an example there? SHAWN MURPHY Well, a number of them are intimated in a number of religions. When you give, you receive more in return. John Nash got the Nobel Prize for his gaming theory, where he proved mathematically that that's true. I don't know if you're familiar with. BRANDON HANDLEY That, but was he A Beautiful Mind? Yes. What a great movie. SHAWN MURPHY But he proved that it's economically better to make sure that the party that you're working with is benefited as much as you're benefiting, and yet you actually have better economic returns if you do that. BRANDON HANDLEY Right. SHAWN MURPHY That's one of the spiritual laws that I think was well proved by John Nash. BRANDON HANDLEY Now I got to go watch it again. I got a whole new I got a whole new I'll put it on tonight, Sean. SHAWN MURPHY Yeah. Because it's when the blonde comes in the room is the point where when you get to that point, when the blonde walks in the bar, you'll understand what he's talking about. BRANDON HANDLEY I'm looking forward to it. SHAWN MURPHY It's very well done. But there's the eye for an eye law. Right. I mean, what we do in this life has consequences, and the people who are suffering from schizophrenia are suffering from those consequences. BRANDON HANDLEY From, like, previous lies. Explain that one a little bit more for me. SHAWN MURPHY So the people that they oppressed misused whatever they did to them in that previous life, the spirits of those people have the right of revenge. BRANDON HANDLEY Wow, what a concept. I love that idea. I don't want to be Schizophrenic. Let me ask you this real quick there, Sean. Is there a resolution to that in this lifetime? For the Schizophrenic. SHAWN MURPHY It'S the most difficult resolution that there is because the spirits have the right of revenge. And the only way to overcome that is through forgiveness. But it needs to be forgiveness on both sides. Okay. BRANDON HANDLEY That's a tricky one. SHAWN MURPHY It's very tricky. But there are things that the Schizophrenic can do to increase their spirituality. Increase their level of spirituality by helping others, by doing other things that they can minimize that impact. And that's what I've been helping people to do, is to help them not necessarily rid themselves, but distance themselves from these vengeful spirits. BRANDON HANDLEY What a powerful one. I love that sean. Thanks for sharing those. So I'm at a little section here where I kind of actually almost towards the end of time. Of course, nobody knows you, and I had some technical front end. So I get to a little part in the podcast where I just say, hey, basically, this is spiritual speed dating, right? Sean? Somebody out there is looking for their next spiritual dating and you're up for spiritual bachelor, as it were. Let your wife know that this does not impede or infringe on the relationship that you currently have in any way, shape, or form. So to that end, spiritual bachelor number one, I'd like to ask you one or two questions. Are you ready? SHAWN MURPHY Okay, go ahead. BRANDON HANDLEY Man. I don't think I've asked this one too often. Describe heaven and how to get there. SHAWN MURPHY Heaven is part of the spiritual world. I mean, there's basically the Earth is between heaven and hell. That's where we come from. That's where our corrupt souls come from, is from hell. And we are working our way to heaven. Heaven has many, many levels to it. The lower regions of heaven are what are called the restoration levels. So these are the places we go in between lifetimes to be educated, to get ready for our next lifetime with the end goal of reaching that place that we once inhabited before we fell. BRANDON HANDLEY I like it. I've never heard of not that I've done much research on heaven, but the many levels of heaven. The idea of the restoration levels reminds me of a series by I think it's Pierce Anthony and the Immortal series. Really well done. But he talks about similar pieces, right. And purgatory and whatnot and just kind of what that looks like. And that's what that reminded me of. This is a good one for you. What is the relationship between science and religion? SHAWN MURPHY I mentioned Erwin Schroedinger. He wrote a book about his experience because he was conflicted with what happened at the dawn of quantum mechanics. He went back to these early Greeks and he wrote about democratic. Democratic was the one who theorized the structure of the atom 2.6 thousand years ago and theorized the structure of the solar system. But he said about democratists sooner democratists could go to him and ask him about the structure of the atom, the structure of the solar system, about mathematics, about geometry, about love, and about God. The reason that these people pythagoras Euclid, Archimedes, democratists, Socrates, that the reason that their theories survived two and a half thousand years without being corrected, is that they understood the material world and the spiritual world. They understood the laws that exist between the spiritual world and the material world. And so the laws that they created for us, for as scientists, are eternal because they're created in a holistic environment between science and spirituality. BRANDON HANDLEY It's almost like there's really not a separation unless forced. SHAWN MURPHY Religion is a political tool. Spirituality has concrete laws as science has concrete laws. BRANDON HANDLEY Got it a nice distinction there as well. I think that when we talk about the relationship between science and religion, what you're saying is right. The relationship really exists between science and spirituality, whereas religion as a political tool, it deviates in and of itself from spirituality. Not a great distinction. I love it, Sean. Thanks for that. Sean, where can people go to find out more about you if they want to connect with you? SHAWN MURPHY I am a major contributor to Cora. I run the spaces on Cora. The spiritual world. Early Christian wisdom. I'm a big contributor to the Afterlife forum on Cora. They can find me on Twitter, on Instagram, or just go to my website, torn between Two Worlds.com, and you can connect with me. And I'm happy to talk with anybody. It's one of the joys that I've discovered, is talking to people who feel rejected by society. And I've not found anybody that I don't enjoy talking to. BRANDON HANDLEY Fantastic. Sean, thank you so much for being on today. And we'll let you go. SHAWN MURPHY Well, thank you so much for having me. Have a good day.

And yes, we can put sex and drugs and Jesus all in the same bed and still be all right at the end of the day. My name is De'Vannon and I'll be interviewing guests from every corner of this world as we dig into topics that are too risqué for the morning show, as we strive to help you understand what's really going on in your life.There is nothing off the table and we've got a lot to talk about. So let's dive right into this episode.De'Vannon: Shawn Murphy is the host of the above the bar podcast, and a fellow military veteran of mine. Join us today. As we discuss military issues, what it's like being a latchkey kid, what it's like growing up with a drug dealing data in my personal news psychedelic journey. Y'all they tuned listen close, and I hope you enjoy the fuck out of this episode.God bless [00:01:00] you.Hello everyone. And welcome to the sex drugs in Jesus podcast. Yes, he is up there. He is looking over me. He's looking over Sean. He is looking over all of you. Beautiful fuckers. And yes, Jesus told me to call you all fuckers today because he is super open minded and super and super loving and words like that.Simply don't offend him. Sean, how are you? Shawn: Wonderful there. Good, sir. How are you? De'Vannon: Fan fucking y'all Sean Murphy is the AU shit. The author is the host. Oh, bring us that book. I'm ready to say author, man, bring that book. It's Shawn: it's in the works. It's in the works. We gotta make it happen. He De'Vannon: is the host of the above the bar podcast where every week they belly up to the bar and talk about all kinds of shit.And I was on his show. And now we're doing the flip fuck thing that we often do [00:02:00] in the podcast industry. He did mean I'm gonna do him. You all this make me a bottom. Shawn: Does this make me a bottom, a De'Vannon: podcast bottom in this moment? Yes. And I prefer a nice dry fuck. I might spit on your whole little bit. Other than that I'll LA natural brow baby.Shawn: I'll try, I guess, you know, as having my own show, I'll try not to be too much of a power bottom. I guess. That's what that would make me right. If I have my own show and I'm on the other side, does that, what that makes me. De'Vannon: Let's abandon all these titles. Just do what the fuck says.Shawn: oh brother. It is good to see you, man. You're looking De'Vannon: good. You're looking gorgeous. I got my beard growing out. Cause my stylist is gonna turn in a weird ass color. As I approach 40 years old in December. I want to be sure that I get weirder and weirder as I get older and older. And and so yeah, y'all Sean, you know, and I love your beer too.We're compliment complimenting each other's you were before we got on the [00:03:00] broadcast, Sean is a military veteran. I'm a military veteran. And so show we're gonna be talking about his podcast, his military experience, and is gonna get dark is gonna get dim, but I will end it with a Ray of hope and light for our veterans out there.And so we need veterans, all of your motherfuckers out there. Couldn't run around. Doing the bullshit. You like to do fucking your brains out, doing all your drugs, you know, making all the money, raising all the children and everything. And I love all of those things, but without a military in place, crazy as dictators would come over here and snatch your shit from you in a minute, you know?And then the people who those crazy as dictators have sent into the country to spy and shed. And yeah, I mean, that's just the way the world works. We have spies in other countries, no reason for us to think that they don't have spies here. Right. But the military helps to keep all of that shit at ban from spiraling out of hand.So as two veterans, [00:04:00] we above all people have the right to comment on veterans' issues, more so than crazy as Republicans do. And anybody who dares to think that they're speaking on behalf of us, because usually I don't agree with what politicians say about veterans. And so, so we're gonna talk a lot about veterans in this episode.So I see the way you're nodding and then light in your eyes. So tell me what Tim was on your mind. Just let those thoughts out. Shawn: No, it, well, you know, it's funny when you bring that up, it, they suck on both sides of the fence. Yeah. They, they really do because you know, it's funny growing up in the timeframe that I grew up in the military, not I joined in 94.We were, it it's so funny. We were always told you vote Republican, that they they're gonna fund you. They're gonna give you money. They're gonna take care of you. Do you know who gave me my most pay raises in all my 20 years, who gave me the most pay raises De'Vannon: bill Shawn: Clinton, [00:05:00] bill Clinton in the Clinton administration.They're 50 50 in my book, cuz. Were the ones that realized a lot of guys were getting outta the service and taking better paying jobs than staying in because there was no money there in 94, I made less than a thousand dollars a month in the Marine Corps. Ooh. That was the DOD across the board. E one was less than a thousand dollars a month.And you still had taxes taken out of that. Yeah. Look at that. That's a sour face, like, and that's the facts, but I will also say on the flip side, he also created the bra base relocation closure act that closed down all those bases and shut down small towns that lived and thrived off those bases that existed.So I'm 50 50 on that guy, but it's funny. They both suck, you know, look at what just happened with the burn pit bill, like, and for, for those that don't know what the burn pit bill was, that's burning medical waste plastics, and anything else you could imagine and [00:06:00] service members having to do it without proper ventilation without respirators and getting sick.And these guys, the Republicans voted it down because they wanted to show the Democrats that they didn't like some other bill. And they were like, ha, ha look what we'll do. Like really like you did that. You bunch of SC holes. So that's my feelings on all of them. De'Vannon: Right. And so, so Senate Manor, majority leader, Chuck Schumer pulled like a Ropa dope on the Republicans and was able to get like a lot of the reconciliation infrastructure, climate change stuff passed through.And the Republicans felt tricked, you know, Biden and everything like that. I, I kind of felt tricked by it in a positive way because Democrats usually don't act like they have nuts and so I was like, wait, you actually. Back at the Republicans [00:07:00] one. And so, but they were real, but hurt over that shit and yeah, they did oh yeah.Cause it never happened. They're like the, the Republicans are like the bully who was used to getting their way. They're not used to anybody actually hitting them back. Or, and so the burn pit bill is something that Republicans kept pushing against why we don't know, but you know, and they were all pissy about it, but you know, it finally passed and everything like that.And so I, I just, since you mentioned bill, bill Clinton, BC, my homeboy, I Kansas bill. I love the fat art, Kansas bill. And there's a whole, like, what is it? A bill Clinton museum and shit. When I was in little rock or something. Well, Shawn: that's right. I forgot you did live in little rock. I, no, I didn't live De'Vannon: there.I just visited it, just friends. But there's like a whole museum in his honor. They love them. Some bill Clinton, they don't care how he got his Dick sucked and the Al office. And I, I commend him for playing the saxophone, smoking his weed. If he [00:08:00] did smoke weed, I just picture it with, he just didn't hell he didn't inhale getting his Dick sucked.I don't know what kind of marriage arrangement him and Hillary had. I commend her on keeping her shit classing and together, no matter what, I love me. Some bill Clinton, anybody who gonna get they knob swabbed in the oval office, which I would imagine every president has. Otherwise I fuck with you. Shawn: I mean, that's one of those weird ones where everybody was up in arms about it, but were you up in arms about Kennedy?Like, like let's, let's understand that the JFK. Was an old, was an old school pimp and he made that happen. Like let's not get that twisted like that. Don't he was there. I mean, so why do but he changed, you know, what, he changed an outlook of an entire generation towards those things. When he said I didn't have relations with that, with that woman.And everybody was like, see, do get in little head that [00:09:00] ain't relations. That ain't, that ain't nothing that ain't nothing. And it was like, yeah, go ahead and tell your old lady that see how that works out for you. De'Vannon: It wasn't me. mm-hmm what the camera say. And like the song, it wasn't me. Right? Shaggy. I think that was, he Shawn: was a Marine.Did you know he was a Marine? Nah. Yep. Shaggy was a, an artillery was in second battalion. Oh God can't think of what company, but he was, he was second battalion two 10. Two. Yeah. Second Italian 10th Marine regiment out of Jacksonville, North Carolina. He was an artillery Marine and I knew a guy.One of those knew a guy who knew a guy's situations, but knew somebody who knew him. And they said he used to go home every weekend to go do shows. Cuz that was, he wanted to have a music career, but he was an artillery Marine De'Vannon: that's dedication there. Now he's even that much more sex now that I know [00:10:00]he's a Marine I love it brother.So, so your show, the above the bar podcast. Why did you name the that? Shawn: Well, cuz all my equipment truly sits above my bar right now is you and I are talking all my equipment and is sitting above my bar. I have a bar in my home, but the other side to it is, is, is there's. I like double and undress the O the other side to it is the term keeping things above the bar, keeping things, real, keeping things legit.So I always enjoyed when I talked to people, hearing the real stories of their lives or their background, like you and I, when we talked, when you were on my show, you kept it real. There was, you know, there was real energy in that real advice, real things that had happened in your life. And you didn't sugarcoat 'em, you didn't weigh 'em down with, you know, blaming other people or blaming other.You were real about all of it. And that's what I love. So that's why it's the above the bar podcast. [00:11:00] All right. De'Vannon: Now, thank you for all those compliments and everything. I'm glad you appreciate the my direct tone. I'll say it like that. And so How long have you been doing Shawn: it? So we, we started this in June of last year.It was one of those situations where my, I had said many times I wanted to do it. I had been on some friends podcast that were very successful. We're on a network called the earplug podcast network. That's owned by a friend of mine, herb and been on his shows a bunch of times. And I kept saying I was gonna do it.I was gonna do it. My wife finally said on father's day, weekend of last year, she just turned around and she handed me all the equipment. And it was like, there you go. And it was actually might actually now think about it. It might have been father's day 20, 20 God time has flown. Cause we just finished [00:12:00] episode 1 36 or 1 37.Got another one tomorrow cuz today is Tuesday, right? Yeah. Today's Tuesday. So we got another one coming up, so just. Once it got going, it just kind of, it's had a life of its own. Hmm. De'Vannon: Well, I'm happy you found something that, that you love and oh my God, excuse me. I took my ass out in the backyard, my weed eater, call myself cutting fucking grass and shit like that because I just thought it was hideous. This is something I pay other people to do, particularly my parents this cause my, this is my parents doesn't mean that I'm gonna like have them work for free, you know, I still pay them, but I shouldn't do that.Cuz I had really sensitive allergies and I went out there and did it. I didn't put a mask on. So I've got the scratchy ass throat. It's like a whole thing. It's not the COVID I've never had COVID but I've been taking the test every day [00:13:00] just to be sure. And it's still negative. So it was just allergy. So hopefully I don't cough too fucking much.So who do you think your target audience is? So Shawn: I actually, do you know, what do you know about creating your audience avatar? Have you ever heard that term? De'Vannon: I think I've heard the term, but just tell us, Shawn: so, so I have a real good, good friend of mine, Jessica Gruber, she builds podcast or builds websites.And she has her own podcast also. And Jessica and I were talking and she said that to me, one day, she goes, who's your avatar? And I'm like, I, what? Like I'm thinking video game avatar or something like that. So she explained it to me and said, sent me some stuff, basically. It's. Kind of creating the image of what your target audience looks like and giving them a name that way when you're marketing yourself, you can actually say, well, would Steve, or would Jane listen to this [00:14:00] or that?So I've kind of figured it out that my target audience is probably late thirties at the youngest. I would say maybe mid up through unknown finished age, probably closer to mid forties. Not necessarily would they have a bachelor's degree, but they're educated in what they do. They're professionals, they like food, they like drink and they, like, they probably will be caught watching the history channel or some, or like documentaries or things of that nature they like to learn.Yeah, I would De'Vannon: imagine. And that's a beautiful avatar. I would imagine most people who bother to click on a podcast. Are trying to be enlightened on some level, I suppose, even an entertainment podcast and stuff like that. Even if it's finding out that, you know, ASRA Miller this Cod a felony for [00:15:00]being a little club to, you know, you know, you're still being enlightened.You're learning something you didn't know before. And I am not throwing shade at your Miller. They are very beautiful specimen of a human and baby. They can come and steal for me any day. I need, I need them to come steal my virginity all over again. That's what all over . That's what I need that beautiful, that beautiful thing to come and steal, baby.You didn't have to do all that. You could have come taken all that stress out right over here. so, and what do you, what are you drinking? Is that like a bourbon, a scar? Uh, So, Shawn: so I was drinking a little bit of so one of our former guests they have a. Distillery up here in the upstate New York area called new Scotland spirit.So I'm having a little bit there straight rye whiskey which is actually, I learned this from the, these guys, rye is a New York grain. So I didn't know that. So [00:16:00] all the times of hearing about rye whiskey, I learned from them. So they make what they call an empire rye. So it's mostly New York rye grain, and it's phenomenal.I love it. De'Vannon: Hmm. Well drink up. So as you were going over some of your target, I mean, you know, your kind of the breakdown of your show, I had to say, I agree. I feel like the information that you cover is very practical. Like some of the titles I wrote a few down like what is networking, how to build a website, how to start a music label.You know, it's like, you're trying to help people and to give them like steps and practical things that they can use. So I would not classify your podcast as an entertainment podcast. This is a very like lifestyle podcast. And it's like, you're trying to help people be better, like come up out of whatever their circumstance or situation is.It's like, you're trying to help them get knowledge and information that they, that might be out of their grasp. Other one it's. Thank you. And so now one is called cannabis. Oh, you're welcome sugar. Now one is called [00:17:00] cannabis and Massachusetts that I wanted to stop and kind of like meditate on this one here for a moment.These are some of my favorite titles after we get done with this Massachusetts meditation, I'm gonna ask you what your, what you feel like for you your most impactful episode was so you can just chew on that in the background. So this stood out to me because I'm on a new drug journey. And so when you did this episode on the cannabis of Massachusetts, tell me, what did you take from it?Shawn: You, you know, cannabis in Massachusetts is interesting because when, when they created their, their laws, so we have in New York, we have two states next to us that both have legalized marijuana. New York state is decriminalized marijuana, but we don't have any dispensaries other than for medical use.But it's interesting. And I'll tell you why the two states were interesting why the Massachusetts one. So we have Vermont, which is the only state ever [00:18:00] to legalize it through. Their actual, like it wasn't like the governor said, Hey, we're gonna legalize it. They actually voted it. The people voted it and said, we're gonna legalize it.But you and I couldn't go to Vermont and buy cannabis because in Vermont you have to be a Vermont resident with a Vermont driver's license or photo ID to buy there. So they're, they're, they're very cut off from it. But Massachusetts is interesting because what Massachusetts is completely legal, they are, were the first state on the east coast to go completely legal.And you think about that. That's the east coast, the whole east coast. They're the first ones. And they tied their marijuana laws to mirror their open container laws for alcohol, which I thought was genius. From the standpoint of, you know, it's not right to walk down the street with an open beer, you know, that I know that we were brought up that way.You know, you could be that person, but you know that the cops will stop you for an open [00:19:00]container. You've heard that. Okay. So they said, we're gonna do the same thing. If you're smoking a joint, walking down the street, don't walk down the street and smoke a joint. If you wanna sit on your front steps and smoke, go right ahead.But what I really gained from that episode in particular was I didn't realize how deep that, and it's a culture. I didn't realize how deep that culture was and really kind of focusing on that and, and listening to, to my guest and saying like, wow, you know, this really is, and we also came up with a dating show.Did you, did you listen to that one, hear about our dating show that we came up with, De'Vannon: do tell, just acted like I've never heard anything before. Okay. Shawn: Cuz this one, this one was pretty funny. So we're talking about it and everything. And we had come up with, you know, how you, you his name was Jarvis Jarvis and I were talking, he goes.You know, you have like [00:20:00] what's the, the rose ceremonies for the bachelorette and all that. And we decided that we could come up with one for cannabis. And instead of giving out roses, you give out buds and the competitions were gonna be like, rolling. How, you know, how good can your partner be? Like rolling?Are they really a road dog for you? Can they hide your stash? If you needed them? Like we had the entire thing fleshed out and I thought, this is great. And hilarious to talk about. He messaged me the other day. He's like, bro, we need to do this. I'm like what? He goes, no, no, I wanna do. I wanna come up with a show and he was dead serious.Cuz from that culture standpoint for a cannabis culture, they're not represented in those worlds. So it was a representation. I thought how great of an idea. And we. BS and on a podcast to come up with this. So that was, that was really kind of the, the nuts and bolts of that one. And it was just so much fun to talk to him about it.De'Vannon: And when you're [00:21:00] saying it's the culture, are you saying the culture of the cannabis or the culture in Massachusetts and of Shawn: culture? Cannabis culture itself. So, so I never thought of it as a culture, you know, growing up, you know, it was, oh, this dude smokes weed, that dude smokes weed. But you never thought about it from a culture standpoint, but when you talk to somebody that's really into it, or, or maybe from a medical standpoint, it's changed their lives, got them off of opioids or, or heavy medications.And you find out that truly it is a cultural thing.De'Vannon: Okay. That reminds me of how before. Franklin D Roosevelt, I believe it was issued this whole war on drugs, nonsense, how, you know, people were doing a lot of psychedelics and everything, and it was really, you know, you might call 'em hippies of what the fuck ever, but, you know, it was people, [00:22:00] you know, bonding over, you know, a, an experience that everyone was having, but it was very much more like a cultural movement than everything like that.Before everything got shut down. And so it sounds like that culture is coming back. Yeah. I mean, ever really went away, but it, you know, it's coming really more back into the mainstream. And so, which I appreciate. And so this leads me to my. Hm, you know, divulge of more of this new journey that I'm on.And so everyone knows my chaotic history being on and off drugs and stuff like that. Well, I watched two documentaries that sold me on psychedelics and I had never used psychedelics before I used to sell them, but I didn't do 'em. Maybe I did ask it, but I never hallucinated or whatever. But so I watched, what do they called the history of mental illnesses on PBS.Then the other one is called how to change your mind, which is [00:23:00] on Netflix. And so, and they both go over how psychedelics were used for health reasons and in clinics before, before the government made it all evil and the devil. And then in my opinion, the church echoed what the government was saying as they tend to do.And how now it's coming back, I'm particularly excited about these MDMA trials and how they've been used to treat veterans and stuff like that, you know, in the VA hospitals, in places and such. And so I'm actually going to go to Oregon. Next month to do an MDA trial thing. And also I'm going to do a psilocybin trial thing while I'm there really like a whole week, cuz everything's legal there and the therapists, you have a lot of these psilocybin centers and, and shit like that.And, and so, and I'm gonna video it of course. And and I hope that I have a total reaction. I did the IV ketamine thing, which is now legal in [00:24:00] all the states. I did not have a good experience with that because I don't think she gave me enough ketamine. And so fuck her. I'm never going back to that clinic.I'm gonna find me a clinic in a more progressive city where they won't mine upping the dose. But but the ketamine thing I did was only like an hour. The MDMA thing is an eight hour day. The SIL side thing is a separate eight hour day . So it's like a completely different. Shawn: Now, now when you're saying you're doing trials, does this mean that it's under the supervision, medical supervision?Is this pharmaceutical supervision? What do you mean by it's a trial? De'Vannon: No, there would be a licensed clinical social worker with me. It's not like a you know, like a, like an NIH, like a health Institute, sanction trial. Okay. My personal trial under the supervision of a medical person. So I'm not gonna go find homey with some MDMA and then be like, let me just and see what happens.No, like I'm, [00:25:00] I'm gonna be coached through the experience and everything like that. And so I'm super looking forward to it because, you know, I've, I've read and heard where these veterans have had things that I struggle with, like PTSD and OCD, you know, addiction to like drugs and shit like that. And they've been able to find whatever level of relief.And so. Shawn: Now is this gonna be like a microdosing thing? Like, I, I, I have a good buddy who, another vet who did the micro, whose brother is a psychologist, which one's an MD psychologist or psychiatrist, which one's the MD. No, I always get it backwards, whichever one's the MD. And he did the microdosing and was in a real bad funk with depression and all that.And he did microdosing and that was life changing for him. And, and he doesn't do it anymore, but he really, it, it helped to break that depression, but it was all microdosing. It wasn't anything [00:26:00]over the top, you know, he, wasn't watching pink bears fighting purple alligators or nothing crazy like that.But yeah, I mean, this is, I wanna hear about this. De'Vannon: I wanna see some goddamn pink bear fighting purple alligators. I guess, I guess what I wanna know is that I really, really had a true outof body experience. But if, for me, it doesn't require me to see strange things for me to get the healing. Then I'll take the healing, but you know, everyone I saw in these documentaries or going through these convulsions and crying and hollering, and it really worked for them.It, it, you have the fit and then you calm 'em the fuck down. And then it's like, you're healed. So for me, it looks like the, the trauma that would in, went into the person is forced out through the MDM a or the LSD or the Mein or the psilocybin or whatever, because that's the way it is. Trauma goes in. It comes out.And when it does, you might holler and holler or whatever. And so I want to know I've been changed. I wanna know I've been touched. Shawn: Well, I was thinking [00:27:00] about you the other day. I have to tell you this. I was watching a video and, and it wasn't one of those kind of videos. It was a different video. Mm-hmm and The gentleman said, you know, we all wanna say that marijuana is the gateway drug.It's not trauma is the gateway drug. If you really look at why people, you just said it yourself, you've had all these issues that fed, you know, your issues in the church and all these other situations for you that fed for your trauma and the drugs. Trauma is the gateway drug. And it, it was such a powerful statement to hear.And I thought about you brother De'Vannon: Ja. So we'll see how it goes. Thank you so much for thinking of me and I will be as transparent as I can legally be. With, with what I intend to do. And so we will go from there and I wanna do all the things now, you know, all the AKA and everything like that. And so, and let's just [00:28:00] see.So for you, out of all the episodes you've recorded, what, what do you think's been the most impactful one to you? You know, one that when you turn the mic off, you just couldn't stop thinking about it, whether you were disturbed, like in a good way or in a not so great way. Shawn: So it's definitely difficult to say that, you know, pick your favorites, you know, it's like they say, pick your favorite child.So I, I, I don't know that, but I will tell you a lot of my guests have become good acquaintances, people I talk to on a regular basis. People I communicate with on a regular basis, I will say though, that probably the one that as a parent. Shocked me the most and really was like, I, I don't know how I would go with this is gentleman named Jeff OWK Jeff is from, and it's funny enough, cuz he's from about two hours, [00:29:00] three hours, south of me in New York.He's from the peak school area of New York. And if you've ever been to peak skill, it's a fairly quiet area. Nothing really goes on there. Jeff, at age 16 was sent to adult prison for a rape and murder. He did not commit. And every, every story you've ever heard where you go, the police can't do that. The police wouldn't do that.16 years old inter you know, interviewing him without a lawyer, without his parents being aware that he's being taken away playing good cop, bad cop not feeding him. And just giving him at 16 coffee and cigarettes and zipping him up and telling him if he doesn't talk, they're gonna whoop his ass.He's gonna go to jail. His parents will be, you know, be charged because they're, they're hiding him, all [00:30:00] these things, his court appoint lawyer, because his family couldn't afford. It never took the time to follow up on BS, evidence on things that just didn't make sense all the way through. I mean, and there's a documentary it's called conviction.It's done by JIA works. And that's how I met Jeff was I interviewed JIA on her. It's J I a and then w E R T Z. She did this documentary on his life and it's on prime, Amazon prime. And, and it's worth watching. It's called conviction, but just watching that and then talking to him and him and I have become good friends.That made such an impact on me as a parent to think that, you know, he, and the reason they picked him out of it all was cuz he was a quiet kid. He was quiet. So today we would say, oh, that kid might have some me mental health issues, but he [00:31:00] did 16 years in jail finally was released when the person who actually committed the crime DNA evidence tied him to the crime and he goes, oh yeah, I did that.Even though Jeff spent all those years in jail and the best part about it though is Jeff got out, Jeff is now got an Esquire after his name, cuz he is a lawyer. And he actually has his own foundation where he defends people that have been wrongly accused and fights for their freedom. So that was probably of, of everybody that I still talk.You know, I talk about all of them. We could talk about the guy, what is aliens, Jesus and the afterlife have in common. That was the week prior to that. And that was one, one of that was some wild shit, but the one with Jeff DYS is probably one of the most impactful in my, in my life life. Like just thinking about things De'Vannon: well is you're right.And I'm taking [00:32:00] my notes and everything like that. Cuz I have to look up these documentaries and everything like that. That, that is very, very useful. Good Lord. Okay. So speaking of fuck, speaking of fucked up childhoods, we're gonna shift gears from your show and talk more about you personally because the people would just fall in love with you, man.And so, so you came from a single parent home cause your dad was arrested when you were young. Mm-hmm where were you born? Where did this happen? Tell us so, Shawn: so I'm. Was an only child. My mother raised me, really. My mother raised me from age 11 to 18 and my dad, my dad did a one year. I always tell people I've never had any problems admitting this.My dad did a one year clip for possession of illegal firearm, cuz he didn't have enough Coke on him at the time for them to put him in jail for that. And my dad dealt, but we, we came from a good life. You know, we had, we owned a liquor [00:33:00] store with a, with a dance club in it. We owned a bar. We were doing good.And we went from that level to my mom, had to sell it all. We moved into a house that didn't have a refer, didn't have a stove in it. We had to wait till she could save up to buy a stove and we used to joke around and call my mom the microwave mama, cuz she could cook anything in a M. And we did. All right.She had a microwave in electric skillet. My mother made it happen. It's actually her birthday today. She turned 70 today. She's a phenomenal woman and, and she made it happen. But you know, I, I was the original, I was like one of those true latchkey kids. You remember latchkey kids that term mm-hmm . So I was a latchkey kid, you know, I, my mom dropped me off at school and then she didn't get home till sometime around five 30.You know, I Def had to fend for myself, which I should have gotten [00:34:00] so much more trouble. I just didn't get caught I just didn't get caught. But yeah, you know, and on my 17th, 17th birthday, my mother knew that I needed more male influences, you know, positive male influences. So 17th birthday, she actually took me to the recruiter's office July 20th, 1993.I had already taken the Ava, went to the recruiter's office, signed up July 21st. I swore in July 6th of 94, I was standing on yellow footprints and headed all, headed down to Paris Allen, standing on the yellow footprints, and then did that for 20 years. But, but you know, I was I was a wayward soul as a kid.I, but I had uncles that, that stepped in and tried to fill that father role. But my uncle who did most of it, he was only eight years older than me. So think about that. He was eight years older than me trying to tell me stuff. So the, the conversations were, [00:35:00] I would almost say they, they had more value cuz they were more relevant, but sometimes I had a, he was closer to a brother than anything.De'Vannon: Okay. And that's your biological dad? So Shawn: my biological dad he popped back. He was back in my life. I guess he was back in my life when I was about 16 and try, you know, he tried, but it wasn't until after I graduated from boot camp that he really, you know, we were back on seeing eye to eye, cuz we didn't see eye to eye before then, you know, eye was that kid, you know, you, you treated my mom bad.You, this, you that. And it, it was tough on me. So it, but it was wasn't till I graduated from boot camp that we kind of were like, I'm a man, you'll talk to me like one. And we treated each other in a different way. [00:36:00]De'Vannon: Well, that's good. I'm here for some reconciliation. So y'all when he says like, as valve that stands for arm services, vocational aptitude battery test, you gotta take.Before you can scoot off to the military latchkey kid is just like a kid is at home without adult supervision. Just kinda like a key you know? So, so you said you knew your dad was, was dealing this cocaine. Oh yeah. So how old were you when you first became aware that he was dealing the Shawn: drugs? I guess I was probably, well, I guess it was probably right around when my parents divorced at age 11.And even that, like, I still remember that I was asleep in bed, woke up to my mother, waking me up, going, I'm putting your father's stuff in trash bags and putting it outside. And I went okay. And went right back to sleep. It had 0.0 impact on me at that point. That's what you're doing. Okay. Fine. I don't give a shit.He ain't around anyway. [00:37:00] He ain't, he ain't here. And but I was probably about that age, but even before then, like, My dad smoked weed, always did. And, and I knew, like I knew how to put it. I knew what it was, but I didn't know what it was, if that makes sense to say it in that way with different inflection.Like I knew dad's got a stash underneath this couch, it's in this bag. I don't touch it because it's dads didn't know what it did. Didn't know what it meant, but I just knew I didn't touch it. De'Vannon: Okay. I can understand that. I remember watching like an older sibling of mine like I think vomit up cocaine, you know, when I was like, you know, super young and I didn't really know what it was.Maybe I kind of knew it. It's kinda like, it's kind of like a, a foreboding sense of knowing I get that. Mm-hmm so let me be clear. So you had like a biological dad and a stepdad, or are we talking about this person? No, no. So Shawn: I had, I had my [00:38:00] biological father and then I had an uncle who was eight years older than me who really.Was the major male role model and help helped get me through high school and everything. De'Vannon: Okay. Okay. So now you also told me before that you personally were divorced twice and you were married three times. So do you feel like watching what happened with your parents attributed to your situation? Or was it cuz you were in the military or what do you think?Shawn: You know, I, I would say the, the first one was very military. You know, it was that it, and they don't, this is probably one of those things. I think we don't do enough. Good jobs with in the services is dealing with separation anxiety. You know, I was a 17 year old kid when I went to boot camp, turned to 18 in boot camp.Here I am. I'm gonna show up in Jacksonville, North Carolina, I got bills to [00:39:00] pay. I've gotta get myself going. I'm I'm on my own. And the only people that tell me, they love me or care for me are back home. So, but I can't be there every day. So why, if I can get one of those people to come with me and tell me that they love me again, why wouldn't I do it?So that was my first marriage. Good woman have no, no ill things. We've talked years later, we talked afterwards, cuz we were probably married for months. Like we're legally married for a year, but we were only together for a few months after we, we got married and we were high school sweethearts, but I have, we've talked years later and you know, looking back, she was like, oh, I'm sorry, this, that, and the other I'm like, it's fine.I understand. We were kids. I was like, she was 18 and I was 20, you know, we were kids. Like I turned 20 just after we got married and we were kids. [00:40:00] Which shouldn't have ever happened, but it was separation anxiety that caused that. The second one, it was military related stress. I promise you it was a, it takes a special person to be a military spouse.It truly does. You have to be a kind of person who can operate on their own with minimal interaction from the other person and be willing when that other person shows up to allow them to assert whatever force they have in it. But at the same time that service member has to be understand that you're not around all the time.So the rules have already been set. You have to find out what those rules are and let whoever's been leading that charge, tell you what the rules are and it's tough. So I went, I was on recruiting duty at the time. I was probably working 70 plus hours a week, not home getting up at crack of Dawn driving at this time.It was I was. Driving from [00:41:00] Redding, Pennsylvania to ha or horse from Pennsylvania about an hour, hour and a half each way. Every day, because the housing crash happened. We were at one, one, I was in charge of one location. They switched locations. And it was really just that stress finally broke our marriage.So De'Vannon: it's hard to be in a relationship period where you've got two different people who exist in two different worlds. And you're trying to figure out a way to make those collide without destroying each other one another. And so a military relationship, like what saying the chaotic nature of it is something I witnessed when I was an air force recruiter because some of the wives are the, you know, would be military wives.You know, they really couldn't handle it. Like they didn't. You know, he's gonna go to the military, but why should I [00:42:00] leave my mom and my sister, you know, is something the girl might think. And so I really feel like they should do like the military do like coaching and transition training and things like that for the spouses and stuff like that.I'm not overly fond of necessarily the way the military gets people ready to either enlist or to come out of the service. And so I feel like there's more that can be done both going in and coming out, but a lot, lot of, a lot, a lot of, a lot of, a lot of the women really had to come home. And I, and I see women because I really wasn't around a lot of females, you know, was only around guys and they had wives because unfortunately I was entering don't don't tell.And so, oh my gosh. I can only imagine the gay parties they're having in the fucking military now without me. shit. so, so, so wait, so you, you, you mentioned Before that you were always trying to [00:43:00] get married mm-hmm . And that, that sort of statement reminds me of Ernest Hemingway you know, very popular author and everything like that.And I watched documentaries on Ernest Hemingway and you know, he was an alcoholic and some might say a narcissist and a few other things, but there was a thing with him, with Mr. Hemingway, where he was always, always married, you know, he would like meet a woman and be like, I want you to be my wife, you know, while he still had another wife, you know, and then he, you know, she would be getting along, you know, he would, he'd be scooting her along sooner or later.But, you know, when I read that from my notes about you, that you were always trying to get married, it reminded me of Ernest Hemingway. Now you have an Ernest Hemingway is type beard going on right now. And so talk to me about this needed to be married. Shawn: You know, I, I think it, it was that It goes back to that [00:44:00] separation, anxiety being alone.Like I said, I mean, if I look at my, my life, like I said, latchkey kid, I was always by myself unless I went to a friend's house, get into the service. I separate myself from anything that I can consider as a connection and I have to build my own. So why not bring that connection with me? It, it took a lot of years before I could be on my own.And I think I, I attributed for a long time being married with being with someone, if that makes sense, like having someone else in my life, that's how you fill that space, whether it was good or bad. That's how you did it. Are you still De'Vannon: married? IShawn: am. I'm now I've been married to my wife now for five years.Very happy, much more mature relationship too, though. You know, I was much older. When I [00:45:00] got married, we both had careers. We both had lives. We both know how to, we, we can, at this point in my life, I can function differently. I don't need, I love spending time with my wife and doing things with my wife.I enjoy that, but we don't have to be up each other's as to, to feel that. And, and to, to have that trust factor, De'Vannon: right. I say, wait till you're at least 30, you know, all in my twenties, I used to think I knew who I was and I was an adult. It wasn't until I was like in my lower thirties that I really think I solidified who I was so slow down when y'all, there's no need to get married, do all the traveling, do all your experimentations, whatever, and then save all this getting kids and all that for later to darling, there's no need to rush.Shawn: And if you can avoid kids, just avoid it completely. I have so much more money. I love my children, but God, I always think about, that's see, this is something that once you have children, you [00:46:00] think about all the time. Like, God, I love my kids, but man, if I didn't have y'all, do you know how much money I would have?De'Vannon: I'd be paid. Shawn: I think a little S De'Vannon: I'd say I say that about my cats, but you know, they're probably only $30 a Shawn: month. Yeah, no, your cats are good. Like between a bag of food. And if you have like healthcare for them, you know, the cats are good here. There there's no problem with them. I've got two and I love my cats.So you De'Vannon: mentioned like yellow footprints. A couple times when you, what, what is that like when you talk about chipping off to the Marine, what is that? Shawn: So that's the, a very iconic Marine Corps thing. So if you look up yellow footprints, when you step off the bus at Paris island, or if you're from the left coast in San Diego, there are painted on the ground yellow footprints because that's where you have to stand.And they're painted at a 45 degree angle because that's where your feet need to go. So that to start teaching you the position of attention right away. So that's, [00:47:00] so you'll hear Marines, talk about, you know, landing on the yellow footprints or standing on the yellow footprints. De'Vannon: Paris island is the Marine Corps bootcamp.Right? We Shawn: have two. We have. So if you're east of the Mississippi, you go to Paris island. If you're west of the Mississippi, you go to San De'Vannon: Diego. Mm. I would've gone to Sango. Sango does Mississippi river runs right through Baton Rouge where I'm at on the west. Atton Rouge, Shawn: Baton and love Louisiana. I have to tell you that I love Louisiana.I've only been once and I would, I've been once and I would pack my shit up and move. Okay, De'Vannon: well, you can come here and then I'll go to Los Angeles. Shawn: Well, I'm in, well, I'm in all small Albany, New York. So you, you have to come to small Albany if we're gonna swap. De'Vannon: Oh, didn't you mention New York. There is a, a people of color psychedelics collective.That's a lady heads out of New York who I hope to have on my show. What it's like a whole nonprofit. And it's all about like the benefits of psychedelics and shit. [00:48:00] It's like the people of color psychedelic collective. It's like a thing. People Shawn: of color psychedelic, collective , De'Vannon: Yas . And so Shawn: P O S C C De'Vannon: Paska, something like that.But if I can get ahold of her and set it up, I will be flying my black queer ass to New York so I can get high on whatever the shit, whatever. Fuck I can give my hands on. If, Shawn: if you can get her on your show, I expect that you introduce me to her so I can have her on my show cuz I would love, see, that's see that's my show in a nutshell, somebody being like, I got this person, this is what they do.And, and I always tell people, my show should feel like you walked into a bar and you're overhearing somebody else's conversation. And, and if you're the guest that should feel like you walked in the bar and the bartender goes, Hey, you do that drugs in Jesus thing, right? yes, I have a podcast. And that's what it should feel like ad hearing that, oh God, I [00:49:00] would love to talk to her.What's her name there is she now De'Vannon: I've made a note. We'll talk about it. call. What is she call her now? Shawn: oh, De'Vannon: so great. So, so you were in the Marines and I have to say Marines are very sexy. Love the outfits and the uniforms. Was there any sort of scandalous, was there any kind of gay sex that you saw in bootcamp in training?I wanna know some tea, some dirt, some Marine, so Shawn: drama. So nothing that I ever ran into personally, like nobody that ever directly came on me. I'm not, I guess I wasn't that cute. I was, I was five, seven, a hundred twenty seven pounds when I got in. So it had to been into it to, into twinks or something like that to have looked at me that way.But but there was always stories. So for example, I remember in my first command, there was a Marine. I actually remember his name, but I won't say his name who. Ran down to the duty office, which was in the duty office is a Marine who's [00:50:00] in charge of the barracks for that day, making sure that nothing bad happens, reports on it.He ran down to the duty office, but booty naked because his roommate who was a big dude, and this guy was like 5, 1 52. And his roommate was a big dude, was standing at his door when he came out of the shower and basically tried to have his way with him, snatched his towel off of him and everything. And the only reason I remember this is because as I was checking in to our command that day, he was in handcuffs, leaving De'Vannon: who, the skinny guy or Shawn: the big guy, the big guy, the, he was in handcuffs leaving.So, so there was that, but probably the next big, I, next time I heard anything was Let's see what year would've been like 99, 2000 timeframe. It was right around in North Carolina. We had two hurricanes, hurricane Bertha and hurricane Fran. They were back [00:51:00] to back and they did a lot of damage. And so some of us got, you know, this was the only time I ever heard where they were like, go home, stay away from the area.Come back when it's clear. So I had come back and joking around. We had put a sign on one of my buddies trucks that just said he, he didn't know it. They had ziptied this big cardboard sign that said I'm gay. Everybody thought it was funny. He hadn't seen the sign. Ha ha ha. No big deal. All sudden our mass Sergeant comes out and flips on all of us.Get that shit off his truck. You don't know what's going on around here, blah, blah, blah. And we're all like, whoa, mess starting. Why, why are you flipping out on us? So we take it off. We'll come to find out one of the Marines who hadn't come back yet. Had just shown up. To our CO's office walked into the CO's office with a local lawyer and went, we would like him discharged outta the Marine court right now.He's gay and he's concerned [00:52:00] that if it other people within this command find out that he's gonna be physically assaulted and they had him out of the service in a day, at a day, he was gone. So those were two incidences, but I will tell you knowing Marines the way I do, I come from a pretty open household, grew up with an aunt who was gay, never thought nothing of it knew new people who were gay, growing up.Never thought anything of it. It was always just kind of like O okay, do you boo? I don't care. But when I found. Somebody didn't tell me they were gay. And it was somebody I was very close to was another Marine. And I found out after they had gotten out and they told me that I was kind of like, damn bro, why didn't you, why didn't you confront talk to me about this before you'd have been good.And it was because [00:53:00] I acted like a Marine and, and I, and I say that in quotes, that he was concerned that I would, I would see him in a different light. And that really hurt because I was just being a Marine and that rah yet, you know, loud, you know, over, over the top male kind of persona. And that was one of those things that really hurt me.Cause I was like, damn bro. I thought we were good like that. And, and they were like, yeah, man, I couldn't tell you. And I was concerned that you would feel a certain way about me and I didn't want you to know. And I was. I actually yelled at him and was like, Hey motherfucker, why didn't you tell me? And then he told me that and I was like, and that actually hurt my feelings.Cause I was like, man, did I, did I make somebody feel that way than I shouldn't have De'Vannon: it? Wasn't you? It was the environment of the military. You know, he didn't wanna lose his livelihood and he didn't tell you or anyone else, unless it was someone else who was not, who was [00:54:00] clearly queer, but you know, which you don't present that way.And so ain't nobody gonna risk their, you know, their income and everything because they wanna have a, an open conversation with somebody because you never know how those things are gonna go. So I wouldn't take it personally. He was just trying to survive. Well, Shawn: years later, I, I we've talked about it more.He's my closest friend, my best friend, but, but it really was, it was kind of one of those things where I was like, damn bro. Initially it really caught me off guard. Mm-hmm De'Vannon: so as a Marine recruiter, did they tell you to lie? Shawn: No. Nope. And that was always one of those things. Like, I, I always will tell people this, I never lied about it.That was actually the big difference between the Marine Corps from a recruiting standpoint and maybe other services. I don't know, only because we wanted to tell you how bad it sucked. We wanted to tell you how hard it was. We wanted you to know that this was gonna be the like boot camp was gonna be hard.It was gonna be [00:55:00] miserable. It was gonna suck. You're gonna sweat. You're gonna question the fact that you even met me and ever did this. We wanted you to feel like that because that was part of the sell because people wanted people wanna be like, fuck that I could do that shit. You ain't gonna scare me off.I'll make that shit happen. It was part of the sell. De'Vannon: That's some good reverse psychology right there and playing on the male ego. See when I was an air force recruiter. They would try to get me to lie to the recruits about like their career. So like if I had a recruit who wanted to be a weatherman or work in avionics, I would work to get him that job, what the higher ups in the air force would do.And in, in, as soon as I asked you that this, this question, I realized that this, the response would probably vary on who your supervisor was at exactly where you were recruiting at. So so they would do some shit in the air force, [00:56:00] like book the guy in like a security forces, this job to be a police or whatever.And then they'll be like, we're just gonna go ahead and assign him this job. We've disregarded what he wants to do. And we want you to bring him into the office and act like, you know, this is the best job ever sell him on this job, you know? That's the sort of shit that they would try to get me to do in the air force.So that what you're talking about is just a little bit of free decor. Shawn: Yeah. Like we were, so that was our move. Like I kid you not there's, this is a real thing. You would walk in front of a crowd of kids and you would look around and be like, I don't think most of you could do be in the Marine Corps. Here's a little bit about it.If you, the one or, and, and this would be a move, you'd go. The one or two of you that I see in the room and you would look, you would never actually make eye contact with anyone. You would do this be like the one or two of you that are in here that probably could do it. You can come meet me in the back of the room when this is all [00:57:00] over with.And you would get like five or six of 'em, cuz these idiots would be like, I'm, he's talking to me. I know I'm I could do it and you'd stand there. And it, you never looked at anybody, but it was just let me see if I can hype you up enough. And it was a thing. You know, I used to tell kids all the time, you're gonna hate the day you met me within the, the first couple hours that you're at Paris island.You're gonna hate the day you met me. And they'd be like, what? I'm like. Yeah, that shit sucks. De'Vannon: Okay. Bootcamp is a motherfucker. Oh hot, Shawn: hot, like you. I went to bootcamp in July, South Carolina in July. I here's how hot it was. You wanna know how hot it was? De'Vannon: I was in San Antonio in July and August for mine.And so we were clearly in the 100, 1520 degrees. It was Shawn: so hot in South Carolina in July of 94, they used to have a pool outside that [00:58:00] we did our swim calls in. It was an outside swim call. It was so hot. The pool water felt like bath water, and it wasn't heated. That's how hot it was. Think about that.Getting in a pool and being like, I'm gonna get in this pool and cool down. This shit feels like bathwater.De'Vannon: Well, I'm glad you didn't melt. Shawn: Nope. Nope. No, all this sweetness made it through. So do you feel like movies, De'Vannon: like I think like Jarhead a full metal jacket do the Marine, I think that those were like Marine specific mm-hmm if I'm not mistaken, do you feel like they do the Marines? You know, is that really how it is or there's really soap party there.Y'all beating people up at night, you know, you know, Shawn: I know what you're asking, so, so I'll put it like, yes, I think full metal jacket. There's a lot of [00:59:00] legit because of the fact that AR EY who plays the drill instructor was a Marine drill instructor. And I think a lot of it from that era is legit fast forward today.No, nobody's pulling out bars of soap and beating some eye's ass or something like that. Jarhead I think is one of the worst movies ever made bar none. By far the biggest load of bullshit I've ever watched it should be burned and never played again anywhere. It's so bad. The fact that Jamie Fox plays a staff, Sergeant that an E two private first class runs his mouth to him.Like he's a punk at one point in that movie, that's not happening. That's that's not happening. And they talk about if you watch that movie, when the main character, the, of the movie ends and he goes to his buddy's funeral, he's [01:00:00] still in E two. After four years, you will get promoted three months outta bootcamp to E two, six months after that to E three, if you haven't, if you're not again, At least picked up E three and got out.You're a turd, you're a turd of a Marine and you're getting in trouble on a regular basis. And really, I got nothing for you. So I can't stand the, can you tell, I don't like that movie. De'Vannon: a scathing review. Y'all yeah. Shawn: I, I just, I think it's a garbage and a friend of mine read the book another Marine and said the book was really good and he's like, man, don't don't judge the movie.Don't judge the book by the movie. He's like, the book is really good. He really gets into some details of things. I I'll tell you one that I really talk about eye opening things, not to, to switch sides here. There's a book called shadow of the sword that I really wish they would make into a movie. [01:01:00]It's about a Marine who is a, I can't remember if he's a bronze star with a, with a V, which is a pretty high commendation for valor, or he was a Flying across, which is one step below the medal of honor winner.But ver awarded for valor honor went to, went to become a drill instructor and suffered such PTSD that it broke him. But to I have his book, but to read his story, shadow the sword and to hear like I wasn't trying to be a hero. My body took over and just did things because my friends were there and I needed to survive that they needed to survive that.And just the way he explains it in his, the aftermath of, of dealing with things afterwards and, and going through the PTSD like this dude talks about in the book, his [01:02:00] NAB, he was at his in-law's house and the neighbor's dog wouldn't stop barking at him. So he jumped over the fence and started choking the dog to death, like bare hand, choking the dog to death.That's a P you know, people be like, oh, you're an asshole. Or you're psycho. No, that's a PTSD reaction. And if they want, if Hollywood, Hollywood, if you're listening, go get the book shadow of a shadow of the sword and go make that into a movie. Go treat that the way it should be and treat the service members the way we should be treated.We lose 22 vets a day to suicide a day. So about my shows, I interviewed a gentleman who had his own organization called 22, 22 a day. Vet lives matter. He committed suicide and he had an organization. He had people around him. He. De'Vannon: Well, since you mentioned suicide, I had put a note here and I'm so glad to see they were on the same page with, I wanted to talk about veteran suicide.[01:03:00]And I pulled up some statistics from back in 2020, and it said that the army had the highest rate of suicide in 2020, at 36.4 death per 100,000 soldiers. So basically this is 580 total service members who died in 20, 20, 30% were active duty, the Marine Corps at the second highest suicide rate, 33.9 death per 100,000 Marines Shawn: that I'm not surprised by those numbers.I mean, ho ho every day, you know, it's most of us go to work just to get the job done. You would agree with that. You know, the average civilian goes to work just to get the job done. Well. Yeah, they do, but. How about you go to work and every day get told you need to do it better than you did the day prior.You need to, you need to hold yourself at that next step level. There is no doing it easier. And if you try to take the easy way, [01:04:00] you're a skater, you're a slouch, you're a turd, you're everything under the sun. So you must perform at that next step. Do that every day and then come out and be around people who don't understand that mindset, do that every day and for four years, and then come out to a place where you're like, you're right.This fucking has how work. This is how I do things and then turn around and see everybody else not performing at that level. Tell me what that does to your mindset. De'Vannon: For me, it made me narcissistic and arrogant because, because the military told me that, you know, I'm Superman, I'm better than everyone else.This alludes to what I was saying earlier about better training people to exit the military, you know, in bootcamp and throughout military, they prime us to be on this pedestal and they, we can't, you can't function that way in society and PTSD is real. I struggle with it. It's one thing for me to [01:05:00]have a one hour conversation with you, but for me to try to immerse myself in a day to day work environment with people is impossible because I'm constantly judging them.It's the military's voice in my head judging them. It's not really the say for instance, the end of the world in the military. They're always saying if you're 15 minutes, late, 15 minutes, if you're 15 minutes early for an appointment, then you're on time. 14 minutes. You're late, early, you're late in the civilian world.It's actually not a catastrophe if you're running a few minutes late, but goddamn in the military. So, so with people, I have to stop myself. If they're like a minute or five behind from looking at them, like they're the goddamn devil , you know, to this day. And I've been out of the military for almost fucked, you know, going on 20 years, you know, to this day, I'm all like, it's okay if they're two or three minutes late the van.And I have to like talk myself down from wanting to burn them with kerosene and brimstone when they show [01:06:00] up, you know? But we, we judge people irrationally. We judge ourselves, whatever we do, isn't good enough. We beat ourselves up because the military told us whatever we did is never enough. 99.9% on a test is, is terrible.It should have been 100. You know, I have Shawn: to get that one wrong. you De'Vannon: know, how dare you get that one wrong? Well, I mean, Shawn: you, you bring that up. You, you talk about the test that was, you know, you go through your entire life in school. Hey, I got a 60, I passed it still. That's a D get into the military, 80 to 85 is passing.If you get anything below an 80 or an 85, depending upon what, what courses you're taking, you failed. So, I mean, right there, you you're, you're on a different level right away. De'Vannon: And so, you know, learning how to deal with society even all these years later is just like, it's still a thing. And so that's why I'm all for all of these psychedelics, whatever [01:07:00] can help me deal with the O C D and the PT, PT, S D I think every veteran should have a license to do whatever fucking drugs we want and just be done with it.And so. You were I just, so we're just gonna talk about one more thing and then I just have positive advice for the veterans. And so you were in during nine 11 as much as I hate how divided an

In this episode, Susan and Shawn discuss:The truth about our spiritual nature People's potential to access spiritual gifts The most powerful positive energy Listening to your body Key Takeaways:Once you realize we're a spirit living in a temporary and physical body, it opens up a big door that a lot of people tend to ignore. We have spiritual gifts, but also spiritual ailments that can be healed through spiritual means. Everyone has the potential to access spiritual gifts. However, most people either unconsciously or consciously choose to deny themselves from accessing their gifts. The most powerful positive energy is forgiveness, that's the only tool you have against somebody who's seeking revenge on you. Your body is very smart. Instead of covering up the pain and thinking of quick fixes that alleviate it, try and listen to the pain and try to understand what your body is telling you. “We exist spiritually before we came here and we will exist spiritually right after as well. There's consequences to that. People are born with spiritual gifts but they are also born with spiritual ailments.” — Shawn Murphy Connect with Shawn Murphy:Website: https://tornbetweentwoworlds.com/Email: author@tornbetweentwoworlds.comQuora: https://www.quora.com/profile/Shawn-Murphy-69Books: https://www.amazon.com/Shawn-T-Murphy/e/B07B4FP7S5/Academia: https://tcu.academia.edu/ShawnMurphyTwitter: https://twitter.com/bermuda_shawnYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWi5ZY1XQqdgEUlkqXtO4HQLinked In: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-murphy-1b29a419/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bermuda.shawn Connect with Susan Kennard:Awaken the Light Within FREE VIDEO COURSETwitter: @susankennardFacebook: Susan Kennard - Expand Your Consciousness, Sparkle to SuccessWebsite: SusanKennard.co.ukLinkedIn: Susan KennardEmail: Susan@SusanKennard.co.ukReach out to find the program for you!

Dr. Jeanette welcomes Shawn Murphy from Switzerland, author of Torn Between Two Worlds: Modern Medicine and Spiritual Healing, to explore the journey through the abyss of consciousness we are now in.Today, we are expanding our human, spiritual, and soul being. Our consciousness is challenging us to hold on to the past and old ways or open up to a different way of existing with new tools and beliefs. The abyss is the transition period we are taking as humans transforming from dense human forms locked in story and history to light energy beings with unlimited potential to explore.What was, what is, is no longer. What is the next step? Is it a step off, down, or into the unknown? Are you ready? Perhaps you are already far along your way and you haven't even realized it. When you know you are being guided, you are there for a purpose, and the old way of being is no longer you, then the door behind you closes and there is no going back. Along your path, you may encounter different types of energy forms, such as ghosts or dark energy and feel great fear to stop you in your tracks. All energy, dark and light, have a place in this world. All beings in human and spirit form are a part of this universe. All feelings and emotions are free to be explored and let go, just as the truths and beliefs that hold us back.Are you ready to start dancing in the abyss and untether your story?For more information on Shawn, visit: www.TornBetweenTwoWorlds.com For a free newsletter and book from Dr. Jeanette, visit: www.DrJeanetteGallagher.com Dr. Jeanette is a spiritual and wellness guide who supports you in navigating expanding consciousness, healing from past traumas, and exploring your ancestral lineage.

What's better than a car show? A car show for a great cause! On this episode the guys talk to Mike Mulrooney and Shawn Murphy from Shirley's Way, a Louisville-based non-profit that provides financial support for people undergoing cancer treatments. This support is for a multitude of expenses that can be critical for the average family battling cancer - housing and utilities, prescription co-pays, or sometimes just a little distraction from the ordeal they are going through. The foundation is named after Shirley Mulrooney, well-beloved mom of Mike, who battled liver cancer until passing in March of 2013. The goal of Shirley's Way is to raise and give away $2.5M by 2023, and they are well on their way! Shirley's Way is known for a variety of events, and the one we here at CCC admit we love the most is the Grease Knuckle's Car & Bike Show, which will take place on May 14, 2022!
