«Дар освобождения», курс 33 «Посев семян ясновидца», занятие 4

[Speaker 1]
We're going to go back to the lam rim. I don't know why, but we're going very slow. Too many old man stories.

Okay, here we go. DROG NGAN PAS BSLAB BYA BYAS PA NA So, sometimes your bad friends will try to give you advice. Like, come on, you don't have to go to that retreat every single day, you know.

Even the lama say it's important to take a break. Let's go to the movie tomorrow. Then it, as I said yesterday, those bad friends, they don't have horns, okay?

They are chill people. Come on, man. I mean, come on, you know.

Let's go, let's go check a movie. You can go to the retreat the next day. Okay, so actually you lost one day of your life, which is very precious.

DE'I GANG RJES SU MI STONG BAR Then it says, don't listen to them. Then, how many people actually work with a burro in their life? A real burro.

You are modern people. So, when I was a kid I was a boy scout, for ten years or something. My father was one of the leaders, and he promised us ...

we have four brothers, right? He said, once a month we will go for a weekend to the wild places, mountains, and he did it for ten years. So, some places you have to take a burro.

Some places you have to take a burro. Burro is really more stubborn than hustle. If a burro don't want to go, you can hit them.

You can push them. You can offer them an apple. They're like, they're like, they're very skinny, but very strong, and they won't move.

You can put the rope here. Three boy scouts can pull. They just kick you, you know?

They just kick you. Why are we talking about that? Here in the text.

YAG RKYEN GYIS BYIN PA BZHIN So, old yaks are the same as burros. So, those of you never saw the Tibetan word for yak, that's the Tibetan word for yak. Okay, G-Y-A-G.

The first G means a high tone. So, you have to say, YAK, YAK, YAK, YAK, YAK. Then he's, the lama say in the book, you should be like an old yak, or a burro.

Or a burro. When your friend try to pull you to the movie, then you should be like ... Then they are pulling, you know?

You're like, no, I'm staying in the retreat. I'm parking here. Then your friend pull, pull, pull.

You should be burro buddhist. Friend cannot pull. GYIN means around the neck.

You don't have to talk much. Burro doesn't talk that much. They just quietly never listen to you.

And really they're almost impossible to move them if they don't want to move. So, it says, THEG MED DOR BYED This is called the Three Diamonds. But here the diamond, the word diamond means firm, and it means stubborn.

So, you have to practice the Three Diamonds. That the meaning is the three kinds of stubborn. So, usually stubborn is not good, but here stubborn is good.

Usually to be stubborn is not good, but here in this example, stubborn is very good. So, you know, it says, send the burro in front of you. Send the burro in front.

Walk with the burro in front of you. It means he's protecting you like a bodyguard. Your bad friends.

Come on, you can have one tequila a month. Come on. Then you've got to be like, be quietly asshole stubborn.

Asshole also comes from ass. Ass means donkey. Okay.

Okay. Long story. Send the asshole diamond in front of you.

Yeah, burro. Then, have a second diamond. You know this Dorje they use in the fire offering right?

We will use it tomorrow. Small instrument in your hand, it's called diamond. Badra.

Keep it in front of you for protection. Donkey attitude. Okay.

Then he say, have a second one in the other hand. That's called wisdom diamond. Like, I understand why I don't want to miss ...

Geshe-la comes to Guadalajara once a year. I don't want to miss one day. These are good seeds coming from me.

Then keep that understanding diamond. So now you have two right? This one fight the good, the bad friends.

By the way, it doesn't mean you can't have fun. Like, it's important for a good Dharma practitioner to take a break. So, you know, I went to Paris with Veronica, and we didn't meditate, okay?

We did a lot of things, but we didn't meditate. And every good Dharma practitioner, you have to know how to take a break. If you like meditate, meditate, meditate.

Yoga, yoga, yoga. Then you're going to get tired of it. So sometimes you take a break, you know?

Go to ... what's it called? Wawika?

Go to Oaxaca to Inez and Ayrton restaurant. Ajijic. In Chalapa.

Chalapa. Take the weekend off. Go to their restaurant.

Overeat. Leave a big tip. Okay?

And take a break. Learn how to have fun also. And the next day your meditation, your yoga will be much better.

And you will improve. Okay? But if you're always like ...

you will get tired and you will quit. Okay? And I need $50 for the advertisement.

[Speaker 2]
Just kidding. I'm kidding.

[Speaker 1]
Okay, so now we have two diamonds, right? You have to have a third one. I don't know where you're going to put it.

It's for behind. That's when your friend criticizes you. Man, you used to be a chill person, you know?

Now you're just like Dharma, Dharma, Dharma, you know? And excuse me, but this diamond behind is called the FU diamond.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
I didn't write the book, okay? I'm just teaching the book, okay? But in Tibetan, you check, okay?

Word can confirm. CHAL MED We have NGOS RTZA and CHAL YOD, right? So, usually NGOS RTZA means ...

do you remember? You avoid the bad deed because of your self-image. And CHAL YOD, usually it's a good thing.

It means you're embarrassed to do a bad thing around other people. Like Geshe-la, in public he will eat one churro. Because I have CHAL YOD.

CHAL YOD means I'm embarrassed to eat a lot of churros in public. Then CHUN TZOM, Andriana, Jigme, they take me to my room. I say, you know, God bless you.

And I try to look very holy, you know? Then close the door. Then eat the churro.

So, this ... usually it's a good karma to control yourself around other people. And it has a name.

Control yourself in public is called CHAL YOD. Control yourself in public is called CHAL YOD. It means I care about what you think.

Now here, the third diamond is CHAL MED. I don't give a ... about what you think.

Okay? Hey, you used to be cool. We used to go drink some margaritas every weekend.

Now you're so boring. Then you have to say ... Okay?

Understand? So, these are a little bit tough word, okay? They are KADAMPA.

KADAMPA. KADAMPA is 1,000 years ago. They are very funny guys.

Very cool. You are like ... your Guadalajara sangha is like KADAMPA.

Okay? They all had families. They had lots of kids.

And they had their own Dharma centers. They teach meditation in their restaurant after hours. Things like that.

And they used to say funny things like what I said. I don't want to repeat it. So, he says ...

then he finishes this section. What is this section? $400.

Okay, now, don't raise your hand until I ask the question. Okay, the question is this. We are studying six methods you can use to be strong spiritually, but they are not the ultimate weapon.

Like, if you get in a fight with your husband in the kitchen, there's an ultimate weapon. And if you don't remember the ultimate weapon in the anger moment, you can use these other smaller weapons. Pistol instead of the rifle.

If you don't remember the ultimate weapon when you have the fight, you can use these other tools. It's like having the pistol instead of the rifle. So, my $100 question is, what's the big gun?

And we just finished the third pistol. So, if you raise your hand now, you're going to tell me the big gun to use against anger. Then you're going to tell me the three pistols we just finished.

And if you give me a good answer, you make $100. And I will teach you pistol number four. But if you cannot tell me, I will go home and take a nap.

And maybe I don't wake up for yoga. But maybe I will. Okay.

Now, who's choosing? Okay, let's go. Wait, let me just ...

We are in the kitchen. We just came home. We open the kitchen door.

We ask our husband for a hug. And without any word from us, he says, What's the big gun and what's the small pistol, if you can't remember the big gun? Three.

[Speaker 2]
So, the big one is ... Wait, wait, wait, wait.

[Speaker 1]
La pluma ... The big one is the pen, the understanding that what exists and what doesn't exist. You can never teach la pluma, the pen, without something else.

The pluma is cause and effect. The pen is cause and effect. But you also need vacuidad.

They always go together. So, if you say the big gun is ... You have to remember your husband is like the pen.

That's only fifty dollar answer. You have to add emptiness. Yeah, yeah, that's all.

Good. I didn't do anything. I'm sorry.

Everyone said you said it and he didn't translate, but let's make sure. I'm going to give you a hundred anyways. So, whenever you say the big gun ...

Who are you shooting, by the way? It's not the husband, okay? I'm sorry.

Who are you shooting? Your anger. You are shooting your anger.

Use the pen. Oh, he coming from me. I yelled at my kids last week.

I put a seed in my mind. That's cause and effect. It has a big name, dependent origination.

Don't worry about it. But that's only fifty dollars. You have to also say ...

Listen, the person I am upset at doesn't even exist. You know, later your husband say, you were angry at nothing. Yeah, and you'll say, oh Geshe-la said the same thing.

Yeah, there is no husband in the kitchen. No hay un esposo en la cocina. Who's what?

I didn't do anything. Yo no hice nada. Where is Dyerton when you need him?

Let's go, let's go.

[Speaker 2]
I need it.

[Speaker 1]
I need a good one. Come on. I didn't do anything.

Come on, one more, one more. Yo no hice nada. Yeah, good, okay.

That husband. I didn't do anything. He started yelling at me.

That husband, what's the three things? Never existed. Don't exist now.

Will never exist in the future. Totally don't exist. You can say totally don't exist.

Alright, we finished half the question. I want the three pistols. Just always remember, the big gun has two parts.

The pen, and? I didn't do anything. Yo no hice nada.

[Speaker 2]
Bueno, de las seis herramientas pequeñas, la primera es prolongar el momento de la familia.

[Speaker 1]
Of the six little guns, the first one is delay the moment of reaction.

[Speaker 2]
Good.

[Speaker 1]
What's, wait, what's it mean exactly? ¿Qué significa exactamente?

[Speaker 2]
Por ejemplo, no ir a la cocina.

[Speaker 1]
For example, you say don't go into the kitchen. That's number two. That's small gun number two.

But small, small gun number one, okay, husband says you are stupid.

[Speaker 2]
Then she goes to the bathroom.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, no, you have to go ... Then hold it, one breath. Two breaths.

Three breaths. No, I'm not stupid, you are stupid. Those three breaths you hold it, you make powerful good seeds for next time.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, got it?

[Speaker 1]
Okay, so just delay. Geshe-la sees the fourth churro. One.

Two. Three. Okay, those three seconds you control yourself, they make powerful good karma for next time.

Then next time. One. Two.

Three. Four, five seconds. You will be stronger, okay?

And then it will increase and increase and increase. Finally, one day you're like, maybe three churros is enough.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
Okay, we have two pistols. Okay, so first pistol, just delay. Then make a bad seed.

Okay, then the delay seed will become self-control learner. Okay, second one. Now this time is actually to avoid the situation.

Instead of going to the kitchen, you go to the bathroom. Yeah, good. It does not solve the problem, but you don't make extra karma.

If you know the husband is in the kitchen, and you know he's upset, then go someplace else for half an hour. You don't fix the problem, but you don't make new bad seeds. Okay, third one, and then you get the hundred dollars.

You got the money ready, honey, money, money, honey? Tres. So, number three is overexcitement, overstimulation, and it's where you exercise your bodhisattva muscles.

Yes. There's one kind of psychology in America. It's called NVC, Non-Violent Communication.

I heard a guy talking about it. H-A-L-T, what is that? Oh, okay.

Yeah, hungry. When you are hungry. When you're already upset.

When you're feeling lonely. And when you're feeling tired, avoid your husband. Okay, don't go in the kitchen.

Okay, until you ate something, or until you calm down. So, it means in Tibetan, it's called dunzi, dunzi. It means busy mind.

But it means you are distracted by hunger, or upset, or lonely, or tired. So, don't trust yourself when you are hungry, angry, lonely, tired. Okay?

Somebody you are having trouble with calls you. They call you. Can I meet you in 15 minutes?

And actually you are very hungry. Then tell them I'll meet you in half an hour. And sit down and eat something.

That puts you in a good mood. And don't meet them when you're hungry. And I'll tell you a 66 thing, okay?

Never do important business late in the evening. Okay? Okay, you're tired.

Don't ... if you have to talk to your husband about some bad habit he has, save it for the morning. Okay?

Don't do it when you're both tired. You will have a fight.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
You're hungry, okay? Wait until you're happy after breakfast. Have a good breakfast.

Then tell your husband all his mistakes. Okay? And it will go better.

Maybe it won't go good, but it will go better.

[Speaker 2]
Okay, $100. Over here.

[Speaker 1]
Let's go. Oh, you gave it? Okay.

Never give the money until it's completely correct. They will run away with the money. Okay, we're ready for the ...

fourth pistol. Fourth pistol. Okay, RGYUD ZHIG PA ZHES PA NI BDAG SNGAGS LTAR NA NYON MONGS SKYE BA'I PAS LTA BA STE Okay?

Then he's talking about negative influences from the media. Okay? Like you're looking at things on Netflix.

The hero always shoots all the bad guys. You know? His wife always keeps her mouth closed and she's always, oh, I love you so much.

You know? American movie. The hero kills all the bad guys.

And his wife is very young and has blonde hair, very beautiful, and wants to have sex with him after he kills all the bad guys. Then if you're an American man, male, because you watch these movies your whole life, you feel like you're not a real man. If you don't shoot all your enemies and have a blonde 20-year-old wife who has sex with you, right after that.

So listen, that's not real life, that's a movie. Real life is more difficult than that. You shoot the other guy and sometimes they shoot back.

I saw ... I heard a comedian, it was very funny, during my day off, okay? And he's like, the American went to Afghanistan.

The American soldier go to Afghanistan. Afghani people shooting at them. American soldier ...

I said, I don't know why they do that. Then he's like, maybe because you shot at them first. Maybe ...

that's because you shoot them first, okay? Okay? Real life ...

is messy. Yeah, it's ... you know, it doesn't happen you kill all the business competition.

It doesn't happen in real life. And then the beautiful 20-year-old girl shows up and ...

[Speaker 2]
Blonde.

[Speaker 1]
Too skinny. Down here.

[Speaker 2]
Understand?

[Speaker 1]
It don't happen in real life, okay? Alright? Real life is more beautiful than that.

So anyway, here he says, be careful to open your mind to the media. It's not real. Okay?

Now, did they have media 2,000 years ago? They did. Okay?

The media has always been there. Okay? Here's the media from 2,000 years ago.

[Speaker 2]
Really?

[Speaker 1]
He has a ... he has a list. Be careful LING RGYAS ZAR GYI CHUNG Be careful is a story book of an ancient hero in Tibet.

He's like Ulysses or something. Then he's very strong, he beats all the bad guys. Probably has a girl, a blonde girlfriend.

So, that's 1,000 years ago, they have media. It's carved on a wood block. Okay?

It's not on the phone.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
First one. Second one. CHAGS LAM GYI BSTAN CHE Karma Sutra.

Karma Sutra.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
The sex book. Okay? There is a sutra.

It's not a real sutra. But it gives like 30 positions for a certain activity. And ...

you can find it in the monk's room late at night, you know. Maybe. Okay, yeah.

I mean, it exists. Karma Sutra means the Book of Desire. Karma Sutra.

Kama. K-A-M-A. Kama Sutra.

Wait, I shouldn't tell you, you're going to go look for it. It's a book of sex positions. And it still exists.

And so, he said, don't expose your mind to this book. So, nowadays it would be like all the men looking at pornography on their phone. It's not an evil thing.

Okay? Most men do it. The second most popular website in the world is pornography.

But it hurts your mind. You're not going to go rape somebody the same day. It's not like that.

But it makes your mind weaker. Your meditation is not as good. You can't think very sharp, clearly.

It has a small negative constant effect on your mind. So, if you avoid it, if you try to avoid it, of course some days you will fail. But if you can, you know, I don't know, don't keep the phone in the bedroom for example.

Then the second pistol, first pistol, every time you can avoid it, you get stronger. And your mind will be more clean. And your mind will be more powerful.

And your meditation will improve. Okay? So, it's a decision.

Okay? Alright. And they had the same problem 2,000 years ago.

Okay? As long as there's a man, there's this problem. Okay, LAS TSUL DANG GYUR CES KYI RGYUD BUM These are other books about GYUR CES GYUR CES means ...

GYUR means hugging. Okay, hugging. Hugging.

So, it's like a book of hugging instruction book, but it's not exactly the kitchen hugging. It's more, you know ...

[Speaker 2]
Alright.

[Speaker 1]
CHAGS DANG STI MUG PA'I If you ... spend a lot of time with pornography or this kind of books, the three animals will increase. Hundred dollars.

Come on teachers! Okay, Tim, let's go. Or Pachi, where's Pachi?

[Speaker 2]
Tim.

[Speaker 1]
I don't know. If Tim offered you to split the money, don't do it.

[Speaker 2]
The three animals are the serpent, the pig, and the dove.

[Speaker 1]
And what do they represent? You gave me fifty dollars. And where are they?

You can get help and you ... I won't look.

[Speaker 2]
In the center of the Wheel of Life.

[Speaker 1]
Perfect.

[Speaker 2]
The serpent means the anger.

[Speaker 1]
Good. The snake means anger.

[Speaker 2]
The pig is the desire?

[Speaker 1]
Nah. Pigs are stupid. Stupid.

[Speaker 2]
Pig is attacking me already. Pig is ignorance?

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, yeah.

[Speaker 2]
And what's the chicken?

[Speaker 1]
What's the rooster?

[Speaker 2]
And the pigeon represents the ignorant desire.

[Speaker 1]
Yeah, I got it. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hundred dollars, hundred dollars.

Those three animals will get stronger in your heart. If you open your mind to these stupid influences from the media. Going to a movie with Veronica is very frustrating.

If there's a lot of sex, close your eyes. If they start murdering everybody, she walks out. Then I'm like, what should I do?

She walk out, she goes to the kids movie next door. I'm like, I don't want to watch you know, kids movie.

[Speaker 2]
What is that? Quark?

[Speaker 1]
Fork? What's the guy's name? Schmuck?

Schmurf? Shrek! Yeah, I don't want to watch Shrek.

I want to watch Iron Man kill 36 people, you know? Sometimes I go with her, sometimes I don't, to be honest. So, she's very careful not to expose her mind to that thing.

So, what should I ... what should I expose my mind to? kyi bu dangpay dzepa nam tar Read those cool biographies like Milarepa.

Tsongkapa. Read Shantideva's story, it's very cool. Read ...

read biographies of cool people. And they're very cool. I just read the biography of the Wright brothers.

These are two brothers who invent the airplane. They're called Wright brothers. Then, it's inspiring.

So, read nice things. Okay, read ... read things where the hero is a good person.

yi la chen na tarpay sabun tep nyu They will plant the seed of moksha, freedom, nirvana in your mind. Your mental real estate is very valuable. You don't have much time.

The number of thoughts you can have in your life has a number. In yoga, they have a tradition. I think it's ...

I forget the number. In India, there's a tradition. There's a number, I forget the number.

It's 52 billion or something. It's how many breaths you can breathe in your life. They say eight ...

eight per minute or twelve per minute or something like that. And ... and every time you breathe, you are using up one.

And the debit card is subtract one more. So, the number of movies you can watch in your life, it has a number. So, maybe you are 99% finished.

We don't know. If you get in a car accident on the way back to Guadalajara, the total number of movies you saw in your life, we don't know what percent you reached already. But there's a number.

And ... choose them wisely. Choose the movie which is very inspiring.

I'll tell you something interesting. I saw two movies in the same week. One was called Little Buddha.

And Keanu Reeves was a Buddha, I think. He's a bad actor and a bad Buddha. I mean, one good movie, right?

Matrix. But generally, pretty bad actor. And ...

So, I saw this movie. I went with my friends. I make sure everybody knows I went to the movie, so they think I'm a good person.

Then the same week, they were showing Schindler's List. Steven Spielberg. Schindler.

And this is a businessman in Germany or Austria.

[Speaker 2]
And ...

[Speaker 1]
he secretly saved many Jewish people. He risked his life hundreds of times to take Jewish people secretly out of the concentration camp. So, I saw these two movies in the same week.

And I had coffee with my friends afterward. And I said, honestly, I'm more inspired by the German guy than the Indian guy. I'm more inspired by the movie Schindler's List than the other movie of the Buddha.

Yeah, then Buddha played badly by Keanu. Okay? Keanu Reeves.

But when I think about the German movie, I want to cry sometimes. And when I think about the little Buddha movie, I think, why did they make such a crappy Buddha movie? Okay, understand?

See, there are inspiring movies. And when you come out, you feel like Schindler. Yeah, if I'm there, I would do the same thing.

No, you wouldn't, but ... But, it's a good example for us. Okay?

So, watch those movies about cool people.

[Speaker 2]
Alright.

[Speaker 1]
Zhenlang-R, Zhenlang-Zen, Zhenlang-Yi ... Just kidding. These are ...

Never mind. Chinese movie. Okay, one more minute, okay?

We almost finished. Chinese pistol number ... Which is, don't expose your precious real estate to just anything.

So many people come to me, they say, we went to the movies together. I said, was it ... how was it?

And they say, it was really stupid crap. Then, Veronica will say, how long did you stay? Then, they're like, what do you mean?

She said, was it stupid crap for the first ten minutes? Yeah. So, why did you stay?

Then, when I was a kid, we didn't have money to go to the movies. So, if I go to the movie, I don't care how bad it is. I will stay.

And ... you don't have to stay.

[Speaker 2]
Okay?

[Speaker 1]
I took Veronica's two sisters to the movies. We had a big fight about which movie. Then, I heard it's going to be Sherlock Holmes.

It's the Iron Man guy or not?

[Speaker 2]
No, different handsome guy.

[Speaker 1]
What's his name? Robert Downey Jr. Robert Downey. He's so cool.

And he's so smart. And I'm so excited. They say, oh, Sherlock Holmes movie, playing.

New Sherlock Holmes movie. Then, I'm like, oh, I've been waiting for that. Yeah, you know.

So, we had a little bit of a fight with Veronica's sister. I won because I'm paying for the movie. Then, we went to see Sherlock Holmes.

It's a truco. Truco? They trick people.

It's not Robert Downey. It's a really stupid movie about ... stupid jokes about sex for two hours.

And nothing to do with Sherlock Holmes. Then, Veronica's like, let's leave, let's go. This is not Sherlock Holmes.

They just put the name on the movie. Then, we had a second fight. I'm like, we're here.

We got popcorn. Let's stay. And what this book is saying, just stand up and leave.

Don't put those seeds in your mind. Protect your mind. This is a valuable place.

This is a valuable real estate. If the movie is harmful or stupid, stand up, walk out. You can eat popcorn outside.

Okay. ,GZHAN YANG MI MANG PO DANG, ,NYAM DU RGYAL PO DANG, ,MAG DANG BU MED KHAMS CHU SOGS, ,CHOG DANG PHAL BA'I SKYE MCHA MANG DU, ,SHES PA YANG NYON MONGS SKYE BA'I RGYU YIN, Okay, we can finish pistol number four. This is the last sentence.

Don't get involved in talking gossip about politics or famous actors.

[Speaker 2]
Okay? Okay.

[Speaker 1]
I don't watch TV for ... I haven't watched TV for 50 years. I haven't had a TV in my house for 50 years.

But sometimes I go to my friend's house. Sometimes I ... I'm in the airport.

Sometimes. I'm in the airport about half my life. And they have the TV screen.

You cannot escape. So, I usually sit in the business lounge. And many times I offered money to the manager to turn off the television.

But, I remember when I went to my friend's house and they are watching TV. I thought, well, I haven't watched TV for 50 years, let me see if it's progressing or not. Then it's a contest show.

two contestants, like you and me. Then they have a box. This is the box, okay?

I mean, just pretend this is the box. This is not the box. This is the place where you're going to put the name for my new cafe.

Okay? Veronica's choosing not me. And put the name, and put your name, put your email, okay?

And we can send you a thank you if we choose your name. Okay, but let's pretend it's not the cafe name pitcher. It's the TV show I saw.

And it's a contest, and the two people have to reach in and touch something without looking. This is my ... I'm checking to see if television got better after 50 years.

So, they both guess, you know, they say, oh, this is a hot dog. This is a whole picture of hot dogs. Many hot dogs.

And then the other person says, no, no, these are many pieces of like churro, you know. Then the announcer, he's like, no, you are both wrong. You don't make the hundred dollars.

Then the announcer, what is it? We cut the penis from ten bulls, cows. You know.

Ha ha ha ha ha. You know, I'm like, okay, 50 years, it got worse, you know.

[Speaker 2]
I'm saying, and this is television.

[Speaker 1]
This is television. I couldn't believe it. I couldn't believe my friend is watching it.

It was very ... I was very upset. Then, when you watch in the airport, they will play TV news.

And I don't know about Mexico, but there's a new style in America. The news announcer have to act like the world is blowing up today. You know.

Yeah, they're like, I can't believe, it's happening, it's happening. What? Oh, it's happening.

They're like screaming, you know. And I'm like, I'm trying to translate Shantideva, you know. Oh, what happened?

Then I'm like, oh, maybe it is something serious. They're like, yeah, I can't believe President Trump insulted the Japanese Prime Minister. Then I'm going to Japan the next day, you know.

And I'm like, it's not news.

[Speaker 2]
It's happening every day.

[Speaker 1]
Don't get all excited. It's not exciting. But this voice, they have this voice, like ...

I'm thinking, maybe the world's going to blow up. I better watch, you know. Don't expose your mind to this thing.

Okay? Either I pay the manager to turn it off. I have a second method.

Earplugs. Earplugs. Okay?

[Speaker 2]
Alright? Okay.
