00:07:16,605 our community because one out of 10 families in Hampton Roads doesn't know 128 00:07:16,785 --> 00:07:18,465 where their next meal is coming from. 129 00:07:19,155 --> 00:07:21,195 And I gotta be honest, that doesn't make sense to me. 130 00:07:22,605 --> 00:07:29,595 In 2025, somebody looking for a meal is mind boggling. 131 00:07:29,595 --> 00:07:30,585 So we're gonna work on that. 132 00:07:30,585 --> 00:07:31,185 We're gonna try to. 133 00:07:32,195 --> 00:07:35,915 We're not gonna try, we're gonna fix that problem in this community 134 00:07:36,575 --> 00:07:38,340 and try to make a difference. 135 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:44,435 So if you know me personally, I've been struggling with 136 00:07:44,435 --> 00:07:45,905 health issues for a long time. 137 00:07:47,765 --> 00:07:52,215 Being a combat marine, in the first Gulf War, one of the things they 138 00:07:53,295 --> 00:07:56,985 gave us a title for, or there was a medical diagnosis, which isn't 139 00:07:56,985 --> 00:07:59,595 really a medical diagnosis, is. 140 00:08:00,912 --> 00:08:02,682 Unexplained illnesses. 141 00:08:03,312 --> 00:08:05,022 So I get sick a lot, right? 142 00:08:05,022 --> 00:08:08,232 I've already missed like 35% of this year being sick. 143 00:08:08,412 --> 00:08:09,402 Couldn't figure it out. 144 00:08:09,522 --> 00:08:11,022 So I went and 145 00:08:11,942 --> 00:08:17,612 met with this new doctor and she said, I want you to do a parasite cleanse. 146 00:08:18,575 --> 00:08:20,495 So, uh, I, I've heard about those. 147 00:08:20,495 --> 00:08:21,725 I've heard people talk about those. 148 00:08:22,955 --> 00:08:25,565 My primary care doctor did a little scan. 149 00:08:25,565 --> 00:08:26,855 She said, yeah, we did a test. 150 00:08:26,855 --> 00:08:27,695 You're clear. 151 00:08:28,595 --> 00:08:33,755 but the reality is I ordered this over the counter medication 152 00:08:33,755 --> 00:08:41,525 from CCO CE, L-L-C-O-R-E, CCO, and did this parasite cleanse. 153 00:08:41,555 --> 00:08:43,725 I gotta be honest, everything is changing for me. 154 00:08:44,445 --> 00:08:46,365 Clearly I had stuff going on. 155 00:08:47,460 --> 00:08:51,240 And when I was talking to this doctor, she said, it's not if you have parasites. 156 00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:52,830 It's how many do you have? 157 00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:59,800 I did my first cleanse on the last full moon, the blood moon, and the 158 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,530 full moon coming up in a couple weeks, I'm gonna do it again. 159 00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:06,150 I guess you do the cleanse on the full moon because that's 160 00:09:06,150 --> 00:09:07,620 when stuff's active in your body. 161 00:09:08,490 --> 00:09:11,370 So I am feeling better, my inflammation is down. 162 00:09:11,700 --> 00:09:13,170 I'm not grinding my teeth. 163 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,100 I am not craving sweets. 164 00:09:17,220 --> 00:09:19,980 The pain in my body is significantly less. 165 00:09:20,290 --> 00:09:21,940 I even stopped chewing my fingernails. 166 00:09:21,940 --> 00:09:27,280 Isn't that craziest thing I, I hated that I did that, but I just never really 167 00:09:27,280 --> 00:09:28,960 paid attention and it was a habit. 168 00:09:29,350 --> 00:09:32,200 But since the cleanse, all these things have shifted. 169 00:09:34,332 --> 00:09:40,632 So , my public service announcement is if you haven't done a parasite cleanse, 170 00:09:40,812 --> 00:09:45,102 just because we live in the United States of America does not mean that 171 00:09:45,102 --> 00:09:49,542 you can't have that if you have dogs, cats, fish, been in the ocean, been in 172 00:09:49,542 --> 00:09:53,952 a lake, walked barefooted, and I've seen some of the people y'all have dated. 173 00:09:54,162 --> 00:09:56,622 You might need a parasite cleanse just saying. 174 00:09:59,982 --> 00:10:02,052 If you have questions on that, reach out to me. 175 00:10:02,052 --> 00:10:03,552 I'll be happy to answer. 176 00:10:04,702 --> 00:10:08,032 at the end of the day, I just want everybody to feel better and 177 00:10:08,032 --> 00:10:11,212 I am starting to feel fantastic. 178 00:10:12,449 --> 00:10:16,929 , the funny thing is, , I can do this healing work, but I'm sick. 179 00:10:17,199 --> 00:10:18,579 I'm like, how does that work? 180 00:10:19,704 --> 00:10:23,874 And you know, if you have a third party that's causing problems for 181 00:10:23,874 --> 00:10:26,634 you, that makes a lot of sense to me. 182 00:10:26,784 --> 00:10:30,294 I will let you know how that goes as time goes by. 183 00:10:31,464 --> 00:10:35,274 Seriously, if you haven't done one, I think you should seriously consider it. 184 00:10:35,934 --> 00:10:37,374 Your health is important. 185 00:10:37,734 --> 00:10:40,284 We talk about mental health on here all the time. 186 00:10:40,284 --> 00:10:42,384 We're starting to talk about physical health. 187 00:10:42,924 --> 00:10:47,984 I just received, or I just ordered this, Reverse osmosis system. 188 00:10:47,984 --> 00:10:51,644 This water thing Fawn was telling me about, she was on the show a couple 189 00:10:51,644 --> 00:10:54,164 months ago, or maybe a month and a half ago, something like that. 190 00:10:54,434 --> 00:10:57,434 If you haven't listened to her episode, it's fantastic. 191 00:10:58,244 --> 00:11:00,774 And like, here, taste this water. 192 00:11:00,774 --> 00:11:03,984 And when I drank it, I'm like, this water tastes amazing. 193 00:11:04,324 --> 00:11:05,644 I'm trying to do something different. 194 00:11:05,644 --> 00:11:07,144 I'll be 56 this year. 195 00:11:07,744 --> 00:11:09,574 I know I'm gonna live a long time. 196 00:11:09,574 --> 00:11:12,154 My dad's 92 and that dude, man, 197 00:11:12,204 --> 00:11:16,644 dad plays golf 115 times a year. 198 00:11:18,024 --> 00:11:19,374 He'll beat your ass. 199 00:11:19,404 --> 00:11:20,724 He'll take your money. 200 00:11:20,724 --> 00:11:21,714 He'll joke you. 201 00:11:22,044 --> 00:11:25,404 He'll probably out drink you and I wouldn't wanna piss him 202 00:11:25,404 --> 00:11:26,634 off 'cause he might grab you. 203 00:11:26,934 --> 00:11:31,254 So the old man is rolling and I talked to him this weekend. 204 00:11:31,859 --> 00:11:37,679 And he said, yeah, I played, my 527th time that I've shot 205 00:11:37,679 --> 00:11:41,309 golf and shot my age or less. 206 00:11:42,089 --> 00:11:45,629 I don't know much about golf, but that sounds pretty impressive to me. 207 00:11:46,379 --> 00:11:48,059 So Pop, good on you for doing that. 208 00:11:48,645 --> 00:11:53,382 one of the questions that I received from somebody was, Wes, what keeps you going? 209 00:11:53,962 --> 00:11:55,612 , I've listened to your podcast. 210 00:11:56,752 --> 00:11:59,662 Here's some crazy stuff that you've gone through. 211 00:12:00,362 --> 00:12:01,472 , how do you do it? 212 00:12:01,472 --> 00:12:04,082 Because at the end of the day, I'm not perfect. 213 00:12:04,172 --> 00:12:05,582 I'm not perfectly healed. 214 00:12:05,642 --> 00:12:09,122 I struggle just like everybody else. 215 00:12:09,302 --> 00:12:11,372 I just struggle at a different level these days. 216 00:12:12,242 --> 00:12:16,532 And I told him, I said, brother, I said, you know what? 217 00:12:16,622 --> 00:12:18,632 Prayer, prayer. 218 00:12:19,172 --> 00:12:20,072 Gets me through. 219 00:12:21,572 --> 00:12:26,042 when I am festering over a past relationship or some trauma or whatever, 220 00:12:26,432 --> 00:12:28,892 getting outta my head can be difficult. 221 00:12:29,132 --> 00:12:31,472 So the first thing I do is get outta my energy. 222 00:12:31,682 --> 00:12:34,382 If I'm sitting on the sofa, I am not gonna sit there. 223 00:12:35,537 --> 00:12:39,227 And worry about this bullshit relationship that wasn't serving me. 224 00:12:40,037 --> 00:12:41,387 I'm gonna get up and move. 225 00:12:41,447 --> 00:12:43,817 And quite frankly, I say Spirit has this. 226 00:12:43,817 --> 00:12:48,667 Spirit has me, spirit has this spirit, has me hundreds sometimes 227 00:12:49,027 --> 00:12:51,397 thousands of times a day. 228 00:12:53,017 --> 00:12:57,427 I can't be sad and broken when I'm praying. 229 00:13:00,007 --> 00:13:03,217 I can't be sad and broken when I'm moving my feet. 230 00:13:05,347 --> 00:13:09,757 And let's be honest, we talk about the beauty and the pain 231 00:13:09,787 --> 00:13:11,467 on this show all the time. 232 00:13:11,947 --> 00:13:17,077 I say there's a version of you that we haven't met yet, and together 233 00:13:17,377 --> 00:13:20,047 we're gonna find that person. 234 00:13:20,647 --> 00:13:24,007 We're not gonna find that person doing the same stuff over and over. 235 00:13:24,892 --> 00:13:31,222 We have got to look for the blessings that are in front of us, even when it hurts. 236 00:13:34,972 --> 00:13:38,152 And I gotta be honest, I don't know what the blessing is for my 237 00:13:38,152 --> 00:13:40,072 brother dying at the age of 62. 238 00:13:41,182 --> 00:13:42,712 I don't know what those blessings are. 239 00:13:44,137 --> 00:13:47,092 I went down to Florida this weekend. 240 00:13:47,392 --> 00:13:50,932 I gotta see my son for the second time in 13 years, and he 241 00:13:50,932 --> 00:13:52,222 doesn't wanna look me in the eye. 242 00:13:52,252 --> 00:13:52,942 And I'm like, what? 243 00:13:53,619 --> 00:13:54,369 Is going on. 244 00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:56,199 Why can't we communicate? 245 00:13:56,199 --> 00:13:57,459 Why can't we be friends? 246 00:13:58,239 --> 00:13:58,839 But you know what? 247 00:13:58,839 --> 00:13:59,949 That's his deal, not mine. 248 00:14:01,599 --> 00:14:06,669 Somebody suggested that maybe it's his lesson and not mine, 249 00:14:06,879 --> 00:14:09,159 even though it affects me. 250 00:14:09,589 --> 00:14:11,419 So I keep putting prayers to that. 251 00:14:13,379 --> 00:14:15,419 I asked God today, I said, Hey, 252 00:14:17,429 --> 00:14:22,439 I don't know what this journey is without having Taylor in my life every 253 00:14:22,439 --> 00:14:25,669 day, but can you send him protection? 254 00:14:25,669 --> 00:14:27,709 Can you send him my love? 255 00:14:28,609 --> 00:14:30,139 Can you bring him back? 256 00:14:32,464 --> 00:14:37,489 So I don't know what that's gonna look like, but I'm not gonna be bitter. 257 00:14:37,489 --> 00:14:38,629 I'm not gonna be angry. 258 00:14:38,659 --> 00:14:39,319 I'm not gonna. 259 00:14:40,545 --> 00:14:41,655 Piss and moan about it. 260 00:14:41,715 --> 00:14:43,275 It is what it is. 261 00:14:45,135 --> 00:14:49,935 I got to talk to my kid for 30 or 40 minutes and he hugged me, told me he 262 00:14:49,935 --> 00:14:53,145 loved me, and I'll probably see him at Sidney's wedding and that's about it. 263 00:14:54,675 --> 00:14:55,935 Those are his choices. 264 00:14:57,322 --> 00:14:58,942 They're definitely not mine. 265 00:14:59,492 --> 00:15:05,702 Yeah, I, I found it, I found it interesting the last two weeks. 266 00:15:07,095 --> 00:15:10,245 The podcast has grown significantly, right? 267 00:15:11,242 --> 00:15:14,932 But at the same time, in the last two weeks. 268 00:15:15,772 --> 00:15:17,272 I've done more prayers. 269 00:15:19,102 --> 00:15:20,932 I've asked God to take the wheel. 270 00:15:21,619 --> 00:15:25,969 I have asked him to deliver the message that we're trying to deliver 271 00:15:25,969 --> 00:15:27,619 to the people that need to hear it. 272 00:15:29,069 --> 00:15:31,049 we've got a ton of people in Spain listening. 273 00:15:31,079 --> 00:15:34,499 We've got a, France is going off the rails. 274 00:15:35,414 --> 00:15:38,384 I think we've had like 87 episodes listened to in the 275 00:15:38,384 --> 00:15:40,004 last week and a half in France. 276 00:15:40,004 --> 00:15:41,744 So France, thank you. 277 00:15:41,864 --> 00:15:42,974 We appreciate you. 278 00:15:43,454 --> 00:15:45,404 We appreciate you guys being on the show. 279 00:15:46,709 --> 00:15:48,389 And I'm just excited. 280 00:15:49,589 --> 00:15:52,049 We were talking the other day, I said, I'm excited. 281 00:15:52,049 --> 00:15:54,359 Somebody actually wants to hear me talk. 282 00:15:55,679 --> 00:15:58,619 My brother Dennis, he used to see all the time, shut the fuck up. 283 00:15:59,279 --> 00:16:02,159 And when we were little, he'd beat me up if I was talking. 284 00:16:02,199 --> 00:16:04,269 I don't want to go back and get beat up anymore. 285 00:16:04,269 --> 00:16:05,469 But those are fond memories. 286 00:16:05,519 --> 00:16:06,809 Dennis, I know you hear me. 287 00:16:06,809 --> 00:16:08,249 I just want to tell you I love you, brother, 288 00:16:09,212 --> 00:16:10,082 and this has been hard. 289 00:16:11,459 --> 00:16:13,709 But I was listening to Joel Osteen the other day. 290 00:16:14,099 --> 00:16:15,269 I love listening to him. 291 00:16:17,519 --> 00:16:24,089 And there was an episode that said that God sees everything, every 292 00:16:24,089 --> 00:16:26,729 injustice that has ever happened to you. 293 00:16:28,784 --> 00:16:33,314 And he is gonna pay you back with something that you've never even 294 00:16:33,494 --> 00:16:39,014 earned, that you're gonna receive this blessing that is bigger than 295 00:16:39,164 --> 00:16:41,084 anything you could ever imagine. 296 00:16:42,374 --> 00:16:48,304 And I remember when I heard that, I said, , I like that, And I stopped 297 00:16:48,304 --> 00:16:50,614 right there and I said, God. 298 00:16:51,904 --> 00:16:53,794 This is Wesley, the one you love. 299 00:16:54,634 --> 00:16:57,154 'cause Joel said you should pray like that. 300 00:16:59,044 --> 00:17:05,734 Say, this is Andrea the one you love, because he knows who we are. 301 00:17:07,654 --> 00:17:11,854 And when I say those words, I hear his voice in my head. 302 00:17:12,964 --> 00:17:15,664 I said I would really like that blessing. 303 00:17:15,664 --> 00:17:16,234 Please. 304 00:17:17,734 --> 00:17:19,864 See, I don't say anymore. 305 00:17:22,204 --> 00:17:24,784 If it is your will, I will receive it. 306 00:17:24,844 --> 00:17:26,254 It is his will. 307 00:17:26,884 --> 00:17:28,834 All you have to do is ask. 308 00:17:29,224 --> 00:17:31,774 Our word is so powerful. 309 00:17:32,554 --> 00:17:38,584 Lakota says One prayer is more powerful than a nuclear bomb. 310 00:17:39,064 --> 00:17:45,314 And she's right because I can do prayers and it's felt around the world, 311 00:17:45,314 --> 00:17:47,804 and a bomb is felt in a single area. 312 00:17:49,724 --> 00:17:54,974 I can change the vibration of the world by doing my prayers changing, 313 00:17:54,974 --> 00:18:02,774 my vibration, healing me, and growing and becoming who I came here to be. 314 00:18:03,929 --> 00:18:07,049 , I've got this coworking space that I own in Virginia Beach 315 00:18:08,009 --> 00:18:09,269 Chems, Phil Executive Center. 316 00:18:09,319 --> 00:18:11,959 If you don't know what a coworking space is, it, it is private 317 00:18:11,959 --> 00:18:13,219 offices that you can rent. 318 00:18:13,279 --> 00:18:16,279 There's other places around town and your community too that are 319 00:18:16,279 --> 00:18:22,279 there, but it wasn't really selling out and I didn't understand it. 320 00:18:24,014 --> 00:18:29,084 when I really looked at it, there was some anger that I carried towards my 321 00:18:29,084 --> 00:18:31,094 dad because that was his building. 322 00:18:31,124 --> 00:18:36,644 I am currently purchasing that building and I was frustrated with him. 323 00:18:37,274 --> 00:18:41,294 So I really took some time and I let that go. 324 00:18:41,594 --> 00:18:49,964 And it's interesting how this works within 10 minutes of me letting that energy go. 325 00:18:51,264 --> 00:18:55,374 during that 10 minutes, I sent my dad a text and told 326 00:18:55,374 --> 00:18:56,784 him what I thought about him. 327 00:18:57,624 --> 00:18:59,384 I was crystal clear. 328 00:19:00,014 --> 00:19:04,424 I said, daddy, you always sacrificed for us. 329 00:19:04,964 --> 00:19:10,334 And I want you to know that we all see that and we appreciate it, that 330 00:19:10,334 --> 00:19:13,064 you've always treated us as equals. 331 00:19:13,184 --> 00:19:16,664 And when you were angry with us, you had the conversation. 332 00:19:16,664 --> 00:19:18,074 And when we were done. 333 00:19:19,394 --> 00:19:25,154 You treated us the same, that you've always been there when we needed you, 334 00:19:25,934 --> 00:19:30,584 and I want you to know that we see it. 335 00:19:31,334 --> 00:19:32,504 We appreciate it. 336 00:19:33,194 --> 00:19:36,374 I appreciate you and I love you. 337 00:19:36,554 --> 00:19:43,004 Thank you for the sacrifices that you made for me to have the life that I have. 338 00:19:43,784 --> 00:19:44,774 That's what I told my dad. 339 00:19:49,439 --> 00:19:50,009 You know what? 340 00:19:51,689 --> 00:19:52,979 He didn't text me back, 341 00:19:56,189 --> 00:19:59,002 so the whole day goes by. 342 00:19:59,752 --> 00:20:01,702 I'm like, all right, I know you got it. 343 00:20:03,832 --> 00:20:07,942 And then he calls and he said, son, I didn't want a text. 344 00:20:07,942 --> 00:20:08,902 I wanted to call. 345 00:20:09,347 --> 00:20:12,227 in my mind I'm like, he could have said thanks and called later, but 346 00:20:12,277 --> 00:20:14,257 that's my ego, that's my expectation. 347 00:20:14,307 --> 00:20:19,077 And if you have a 38 second conversation with dad, that's a long conversation and 348 00:20:19,137 --> 00:20:21,827 I am not exaggerating on the time period. 349 00:20:21,827 --> 00:20:22,217 Okay. 350 00:20:22,407 --> 00:20:25,197 we always time it so we can tell my sisters. 351 00:20:25,227 --> 00:20:28,437 I'll call Barb, say, Hey, I had a 39 second conversation with dad 352 00:20:28,437 --> 00:20:30,987 today when I had heart surgery. 353 00:20:30,987 --> 00:20:33,947 I got a thumbs up and good luck text He called me and we 354 00:20:33,947 --> 00:20:35,447 talked for like nine minutes. 355 00:20:36,227 --> 00:20:43,247 We've never had a nine minute
