divine intervention

[00:00:08] Good afternoon, everyone. [00:00:11] I am in a better mood today. [00:00:15] Episode 113. I wasn't in such a great mood, but today I am. And we'll chat about that for a minute. Not too much, because I said what I had to say about it. [00:00:27] I hope some of you may have went over and looked at the Tim cast IRL that's talking about the piece that I gave you. I'm still mixed feelings about it. I am in a better headspace now that I've calmed down a little bit and I've gotten to process it. But it still takes up space in my head, though. Today I am, like I said, by myself. I. [00:00:55] Alice is busying herself with some other things that I said. Nope, that's more important. You need to go do that first. We can do this later, because we do like to get together on Mondays, for sure. But something else she presented. I was like, no, no, no. You need to go do that. It's called life. Go do it today. [00:01:18] I'm titling this one divine intervention. [00:01:25] And I say that to say, have you ever felt like the cards are lining up? [00:01:31] Things are just kind of eerily and kind of falling into place at times when you feel like, I wonder, am I wrong? Am I thinking too much? Am I looking too hard? [00:01:47] Am I enough? Is this good enough? You know those moments, and sometimes secretly, you're just looking for a sign or an edge or a feeling to present itself, and then all of a sudden, something happens. So I want to share this story with you about intervention. [00:02:08] And when faith comes along and holds your hand, guide you somewhere. [00:02:14] I met someone yesterday, someone truly dynamic, someone full of zest and. And life. [00:02:25] And she has this spirit. Now, don't get creepy, because y'all know I love penis, so don't get creepy about it. But this is about when you. When you come in contact with someone that makes you feel a certain kind of way. Like, oh, my God, I'm not crazy. [00:02:44] Okay? People do have something to say. It's that kind of thing. [00:02:49] So let me tell you about her. We're going to call her Gypsy. [00:02:55] And I met her. [00:03:02] I was running an errand, and I'll just tell you, I needed to go to the bank. So I happened to. And I'd never physically met her, but I needed to go to a different branch to get something done. [00:03:16] And she works on my business account. So that's kind of how we already had, like, this connection, because she works on my business account for Media Labs. And so I meet her and she says, chronicles, you Know, is that you? I was like, girl, that's me. [00:04:42] And so we started talking. You know, we start. We just start jiving. [00:04:48] And so I was getting ready to leave, and I just thought, by chance, I'm just gonna ask her. I'm telling y'all. Something just struck me in my head. Like, I just hit myself with a two by four or something. Something just struck me, and it was like, go ask her if she listens to podcasts. So I go back and I ask her. [00:05:07] She's like, you know what I do? She's like, wait a minute. Is that what Media Labs is? I was like, that's what Media Labs is. So we're sitting there and we're talking and we're jiving, and as I'm looking at her and I'm listening to her, and we start flowing in this conversation, and I'm saying things to her, and I give her full disclosure, right? So when I say full disclosure, it is a more dignified and professional way to say, you know, that you're a trans woman, right? So that was how I said it. I said, so full disclosure. And this is what I do in the podcast, and this is what I talk about. So she's like, no, I had no idea that I was trans. And I was like, well, that is kind of the point. I mean, I worked for that. So then we're jiving and talking and. And she kind of. She's a supporter. I don't really like the word ally. I think I've told y'all that before in podcasts. I don't like that word because it's like you just signed the check and condone everything I do. To me, that's what ally means. I think of, like, when countries do that. One country messes up, another country goes in and cleans it all up. Sometimes it's. I think we do both. But anyway, we're not getting into that. And so we're jiving and we're talking. Let me all. Let me tell y'all about this girl. [00:06:24] She's incredibly smart and she has questions, but she's always been afraid to ask or say what she feels. [00:06:40] You see, she feels like she's trying to be an ally or a friend, right? But it's conditional that you condone everything, but you don't ask questions. [00:06:52] I says, girl, that's. That. [00:06:55] That. That's not how it works. [00:06:58] That. That's not how it goes. You got to be able. You got to be able to flow in a conversation. You need to be able to Talk. You need to be able to express the sentiment that you need to express. You can't be shut down in something all of the time because you're just going to let it bottle up and you'll explode and you'll get to the point where you just say, I'm done. I wipe my hands of it. [00:07:22] And that's how we lose people from the center, from those with a conscience. And if you go around and you insult those people, how long do you think they're going to stay? [00:07:37] And so, as we're having this conversation, she says, wow, Chronicles, no one's ever talked to me like that. No one's ever told me that. [00:07:50] And here's what I told her, for her to respond with. No one's ever told me that. [00:07:55] Here's what I said. [00:07:57] I said, girl, let me. Let me tell you something. [00:08:00] Let me put you up on something. [00:08:03] My life has no greater meaning than yours. [00:08:06] I don't need more than you. I don't need special circumstance more than you. I don't aspire to destroy you or diminish the light that is the female experience. [00:08:20] I'm on the same playing field as you are because that's where I come from, that world where that was my one goal in my life, to be able to say, I'm on an equal footing with you. [00:08:32] No one should ever be able to come in front of you and suggest that they deserve more because they're more than you. [00:08:43] I. I don't understand that. I don't jive with that. I don't. [00:08:51] I can't comprehend that. [00:08:54] I don't understand in what world where people would feel like I have more worth or value than you do. [00:09:01] And your light as a woman diminishes mine. So we can't have that. That means I'm brighter than you. I have to shine larger than you. And I get special circumstance, and you just can't have them. [00:09:18] And Gypsy says to me, thank you, Chronicles, for that. [00:09:26] No one has ever told me that they've asked me to support and support and support. [00:09:32] But I can never question, I can never wonder in my own mind if I can speak freely about how something has made me feel. And no one has ever asked me not only to support them, but they've never said they support me on equal footing. [00:09:50] I said, what she said. No one's ever said, I matter. [00:09:56] My voice, my attention, my mind. [00:10:00] None of that has ever mattered. [00:10:04] I said, well, what do you mean? And she's never been told that by the very people that want her. To be a part of this whole nightmare rainbow mafia. I said, how in the hell can they not appreciate a mind that is willing to explore and to grow and to go along with you, but you don't have no value for her? How does that work exactly? Y'all, please just explain that to me. How does that work? [00:10:36] I can't in good conscience in my life ever think, or would think that I must diminish your light as a woman for me to shine. That's why I don't understand all these fake trans athletes, because we all know they're not trans. That is just like Dylan Mulvaney is not a woman. And I'm insulted when people would take that idea and believe that he is and say, oh, I love him, but do you know the mockery he makes of women? [00:11:06] Have you ever really listened the infamous hundred days as a woman, when him and some bearded punk sat down and talked about the first hundred days of womanhood? How profanely offensive, how derogatory, really, towards women. An utter disdain to me has been shown and shines through these. These little elements of attacks that we see play out on social media. And it hurts me to my heart that women feel this way because that's how they've been treated. I kind of compare it to misogyny. I mean, wouldn't you. I mean, I'm just saying, how can we profess to have a love of life and inclusiveness and openness if you gotta run around and diminish the life of women? When I fought to simply just be on equal footing with them, I began to understand, learn, adapt, change. [00:12:06] I had a woman one time. I was telling someone this story today. [00:12:12] I learned how breast pumps work one time, because I was working somewhere and a woman had a baby, and she came to work. She came back to work. She wanted to continue to work, but she had leakage problems during the day, and it would cause pain. Women know what I'm talking about. In her breasts. So she. She had to use a pump or else she'd have to change her shirt twice, three times a day. You know what I mean? And so she needed help one day, and she picked me to help her. I'll never forget that. She picked me. [00:12:49] And it just, you know, I was like, wait a minute. I have to touch boobs and stuff, because I don't know. And she's like, you'll be fine. Just. Just, you know, here's what I need you to do. I said, oh, okay, okay, okay, I'm in. Let's. Let's do this. Tell me what I do. And I remember I wrote it down in a journal. I felt inspired because I felt included. I know it shouldn't sound magical, but at the moment, it did. You have to understand, in retrospect of my life at the time, I was growing and changing and learning about womanhood, I didn't know anything about this, but here it was. A woman let me into one of the most intimate settings and let me help, and I learned. And before I lost that job, she had gotten pregnant, you know, and had another baby. And I got to come to the hospital. It was amazing. It was. It was epic. And I learned about centimeters, and I learned about a couple of other things that go on, you know, during childbirth and everything. So I got. I got to learn more. And I wrote that in my journal. And so for me, it's hard to comprehend how you would ever be able to explain to me your side of things when I'm a part of a world that's been offered to me because they've said, if this is who you are, okay, then this is. This is womanhood. I know you can't do it, but here it is. How absolutely grateful I am to the women in my life now, to the women that have guided me along the way, even when I've made mistakes and I've made a lot of them in the beginning, when I couldn't really pass, but I tried and swore that I could stay away from fluorescent lighting. Yeah, all that stuff. But I just met this person, and she inspired me all over again. I never think I have all the answers to all the questions because, you know, the minute you think you do, all the questions changed. That's called life and growing. But she inspired me to new surprises, new constructive conversations that can be had because she has a depth and a richness and an originality that'll be hugely beneficial for Media Labs and for you, the listeners, to hear. She's. She's truly. And I. Sorry about that, y'all. And I. I hope that you will hear from her soon. I have asked her full disclosure. I have asked her. I'm hoping she will say yes. [00:15:28] And I gave her time to. To think about it and to mull it over with with the husband and I. I think you guys are really going to love her mind and what she offers. [00:15:40] She has very passionate feelings about particular individuals that will be spoken about, which is Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens, you know, the fake black lady. [00:15:50] So she has critiques of those individuals, along along with Michael Knowles and Matt Walsh. You know, the two secret dick eaters. [00:16:02] And so I'm hopeful that Gypsy will join in conversation sporadically. She wouldn't be constant, I just want to say that. [00:16:17] But she would be a huge element in various conversations that could happen, not only here, but also for the new show that Alice and I are working really, really hard to create for Patreon, and we're hoping you guys will enjoy those. And I think she'll also be a funny comedian for some of the Patreon pieces that we want to do on different topics and just, you know, being silly and. And just being chicks, you know, sometimes, and talking about dudes and. And all kinds of stuff. You know, the whole gauntlet. Music, movies, old school, new school. [00:16:54] Who needs to just find a closet and stay there? Those people, you know, all that stuff. And then today also, what happened, I go to see Gypsy today to thank her for, you know, these feelings and how she made me feel and being inspired by her and everything. And I. I, oddly enough, run into someone else that I want to present an episode of this particular subject. So this particular subject is those that deal with individuals who have suffered and are currently suffering through substance abuses. And I know these conversations are incredibly important. [00:17:33] I have someone in my family that I had to deal with on that, so I have a story on that and had to do that tough love kind of conversation. And what do you. What do you call that word? Intervention? Yeah, I had to do that with a family member, and I didn't like it one bit because it hurt me more than it hurt them, but I still had to do it. But it was just this really odd connection because I just kind of walked into the situation and met the gentleman, and before you know it, bam, we're exchanging phone numbers. And so it looks like I have this segment that can now be done about individuals that work with and counsel people that are going through withdrawals and are reflecting on their lives and attempting to get clean. And what's that like? [00:18:22] Because I think that should be shared with everyone. As we all know, somebod that has gone through that, and it doesn't have, you know, a tax bracket. It's just. It's rich or poor. It's up and down. You know, you can have everything and lose it all because of drugs and because of substance abuse. So I think this will be a great topic to have here. And the other thing is, I want to remind everyone, Alice told me to share one thing, and so I want to do that for Alice. [00:18:53] We really would like for you guys to Head over to our TikTok or our Facebook, but preferably, you know, TikTok. [00:19:02] And if you have an idea for a topic and you would like to share and you want to get our input or my input, please just present it to us on TikTok or you can email us on our website. [00:19:18] You can find the email, it's dare to be bold.net and you can go down to the email and you can email it, but if you put it on social media, because Alice controls the social media, we'll see it pretty quick and we can mull it over and then we can announce on TikTok that we have chosen your topic to get into. So it'll be kind of fun, something that we can, you know, kind of invite you guys to be a part of what we're doing. So that'll be fun and we hope that you explore that idea and just bring something forward. If you have a story, if you heard about something and we haven't, you know, let us know and we'll look into it and then we can give you our, you know, two cents on it and, and we can, you know, rummage through it and roll through it and talk. [00:20:05] But intervention is a beautiful thing. [00:20:09] And maybe it's not divine, but I'll always believe that a mission or a goal is always faith based. And you're walked to it or through it. You walk through storms you think you can't handle. [00:20:24] You walk through the joy when you're overwhelmed, you're all still walked through it. [00:20:31] No matter what it is, good or bad, rain or shine, the hurt, the. The happiness, joy, the destruction, it's always there. [00:20:43] I'm just saying. [00:20:45] And you should always look for it because that's okay. [00:20:48] It's. It's knowing that you're not walking blindly through life and not thinking something else is a part of you. You know, some people believe that sometimes we're touched or guided by angels. And my own opinion. Hmm. I think someone waits for me at the corner every day wondering if I feel like I'm gonna fall and they're gonna help me not fall, or if I fall, they help me show myself how to get back up. Cause it does happen, you know, when we do these and when I do more personal ones. This is unscripted today. I didn't sit down and pre narrate it. I just wanted to get this out there. I think about all the listeners that we have and I want to say to you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. The deepest part, for listening and for following along and coming with us on this journey and exploring and talking. But I want you more a part of it. I want your input. I really do. Please leave comments. [00:21:52] When you listen to an episode, leave comments. And if we happen to see them, admit sometimes we don't, we'll try to give you a shout out and a thank you for it. [00:22:04] And then if you've, like I say, if you've got that topic, just leave it on Tick tock. Alice will see it, I'm sure. She's. She's pretty good about it. She's been super busy lately, but she's clearing everything up so that she can be more active for us. [00:22:18] But we want that from you. [00:22:21] And I want to say for all of you that have listened, we are about to hit triple digits and listeners in less than 60 days. And I cannot tell you the immense gratification I have for that, knowing with no advertisement whatsoever, that in less than 60 days we have reached nearly triple digits in listeners. I thank you wholeheartedly for all of that support and love and I hope that you're getting something from this and I hope that you continue to listen and watch us as we grow. Because Media Labs, we're not done. We're just getting started. [00:23:04] It's a whole thing. I'm Chronicles and this is Media Labs.
