Hi Jim, how are you today? I'm doing great and thank you so much for making time. I know it's tough. With your schedule, it's packed. So thank you again. I appreciate it. You're very welcome. Yeah, I'm shocked at how packed my schedule can be. Yeah, well, I'm not. I am not. So we're going to go ahead and dive into some of the questions that I have for you to give people a chance to know a little bit more about you. So as I understand it, you come from a family of psychic mediums. Is that true? Yes. It's a long story short. Yes, absolutely true. Years ago, it was like pre-2010 kind of. And my mother had a psychic over the house and she walked into the room. She started reading people and she basically said, I don't know why I'm here. None of you need me. You're all listening to spirit. Oh wow. Pretty to me, she didn't say it as forward as I'm putting it, but that was the gist of what she said. She did point right at me because she wanted to call me out because I was sitting on the couch with a pillow in front of me. And she's like, you hear them very well. And I'm just like, me? Me? Sure. Calling me out. I mean, she gave me a nice in the moment explanation. But I love her to death because prior to this, I thought I was crazy. I thought, I hear voices in my head. I know things that there's no chance I would know. And it's like, so I thought if something's wrong, and she points right at me and says, you're a psychic, and I'm like, okay, great, that's what this is. I'm not like, I'm not like, get so or need to be hospitalized or, but it also turned out my siblings were experiencing the very similar thing. So it opened it up where everyone's finally started talking about it. And both my parents were, you know, were like very, you know, very, my father more so was already operating as a psychic. And so that medium directed him to Pat Longo. So he started taking her classes that she offered at the time. And one by one, almost every member of my household was going to class at Pat's. Wow. Well, that is, well, I've got to tell you that I've only heard of that one other time. And it was in Jen Weigel's book that she mentioned a brother and two sisters that were mediums and their gifts came out basically all at the same time, which is really interesting. So from what you were saying, your siblings were experiencing very similar things to you, but none of you said anything to each other. Honestly, like my siblings, we, I'll say, talked lightly. I think all of us were trying to avoid sounding absolutely crazy. I get that. Because like, you know, because our parents were like, you didn't tell us anything. And I'm like, well, I didn't watch you thinking I, you know, when you're a child, it's not, it's not exactly unusual to have like, you know, imaginary friends or just, you know, things in your head because you think it's just your imagination. But, you know, as I got older, I started realizing I'm like, Oh, what I'm thinking about is actually coming true, or it's actually, you know, a piece of information that I wouldn't know about a stranger or, or I'll meet somebody. Like, I already know something about them. And it's so like odd. And like at the time, how would I know such a thing? I would, I did used to chat with my older sister about, you know, what do you feel about, you know, the X, Y and Z and she would have the exact same feeling. So we never, but we didn't have like the word psychic attached to any of it. It was just like, well, we know stuff. We have a strong feeling, a strong sense and we left it at that. It wasn't until really this situation, I'm just grabbing that we all just came in. Okay, we're mediums and psychics and let's just go from there. Wow. So I'm curious to know what that was like growing up in the household. I mean, for me, you know, like, let's just say at the time I didn't like the dark. These are like, I'll say my younger brother really, I remember he didn't really like the dark either because we would, because we would hear things. And it's not even, it wasn't even bad stuff. It was just, it was just spirit stuff, stuff happening and walking around and, you know, just hyper aware of more than maybe, you know, necessary. And so, but growing up, it's like, I remember talking to people. I remember talking to family members and I never met. And I, there was one point where my father took me aside because I was freaking, I was freaking a teacher out. And he says like, you can't say, he's like, he wasn't sure himself because he was aware that he had, you know, a heightened intuition or just new things without, without inquiring about it. But he didn't take me aside at one point and said, like, you can't really, you can't say these things to people because, you know, like, he wasn't sure. And he's like, also, like, you know, he didn't want me freaking out. I remember I freaked out one of my grade school teachers because I just came out one day and cause there was a spirit for her and they just kept egging me to just say something and I did it. And, and the woman left the room. Oh my God. Cause I think, you know, here's her student and there was no way in hell I would know a piece of, a piece of personal information about her and her family. And I said it and she, you know, remember, she got up and walked out for a couple of minutes because, you know, she never looked at me in favor. Yes. I could see that. I bet you guys couldn't get away with shit growing up either with your parents like that. Well, we could like, they didn't quite, you know, they didn't quite hone in on it so much yet. I mean, as we were learning in past class, it changed where, yes, I couldn't get away with anything as I was not that I was doing anything bad. No, no, no, it was your siblings, I'm sure. I have a, I have a twin brother. He was just a little, he was just a little worse off than me, but, you know, he wasn't not a bad person at all. He just, he got away with a lot of stuff that, you know, that, you know, my parents were like I'm suspect of, but, you know, none of it matters anymore. You know, it's all, you know, it's all stupid stuff that teenagers do. Sure. Sure. Good fun. Good teenager fun. Um, so when exactly did you realize that you had this gift? And do you remember what the experience was? You know, I want to add, like, the earliest memory I have of interacting with spirit, I was five, because that was when my great grandfather passed away. And I knew, like, I was like, I knew who he was because I had enough interactions with him. So I had a clear memory of him, but when he passed away, like he visited me when he passed away. And so I knew already. So when my father, you know, told us all, which was, I think weird, because we all kind of woke up at the same, same time when, I guess about the day he passed, the night he passed away. And I already do. And I said that it's like, Oh, I know what's going on. And it, cause, cause, you know, cause, you know, cause he told me. And, you know, my father thought that was, you know, interesting. He didn't shut it down, but I'm like, okay, that's interesting. You already kind of do this. And I think my sister also got it in Kling about it too, that she was already aware that something was going on. I have got to tell you something that is going to be coming out in a book that I'm putting together right now. That was the same experience that was my first experience was with my great grandfather coming to visit me and say goodbye on the night that he passed. And I didn't get the same open welcome. My parents actually thought that I had heard the conversation on the phone and I hadn't, you know, they were downstairs. I was upstairs and couldn't hear the conversation. And it was just like, yeah, okay, just go back to bed. And I won't give it away because it was the very first time as well that I experienced something otherworldly in it. Wow. I, you just, you just rocked me a little bit back on the heels. Same, same thing. Wow. So what was it like refining or developing your gifts? I mean, did it, did they all come piling in at one time or was it a slower process? It was a slower process. Like sitting in Pat's class, you know, she would have his practice, but over time she would, you know, she was obviously listening to all of us and she's, you know, she would tell me, like, you know, for me to keep going because whatever I was saying was hitting was hitting with somebody, you know, not all the time, but a majority of what I'd say, like it made sense to the person I was directing it to. And it, because let's just think when I was a teenager, I shut a lot of this off because you know, all the, all the stuff that a teenager has to go through, you know, hormone changes, everything's changing, you know, angst and all that, all that crap. I remember like, I was like, I didn't want to do it anymore. And like, I'm like, I don't know where my head's at. You're like, I wasn't in a dark place. I just, I just didn't want, I didn't want to go there. So I somehow quieted the voices in my head, but every so often something would kind of jump out at me. But so like when I was in my early, early twenties, like in Pat's classes, it was, so it was like refining that was just simply the practice. And I just felt like, you know, once I opened, once I opened the door, like it all just came like flooding in after a while, like it took a little, it took a little bit. But then it's just like, okay, I'm just really in tune with whatever I want to do right now. And, you know, in reading somebody, knowing about what's going on, and like honestly, and I realized if they give me enough time, I can really pick up stuff on what's happening in their lives or what has happened. No, you know, it's not, it's not a perfect, it's not a perfect science. Cause I think some people expect me to get something that I never get. I never, never happens. But maybe it's, maybe it's because it's their energy field or my energy field that I'm just not holding on certain, I mean, cause I'm still be accurate. It's just not what they want me to talk about. Well, sure. Sure. Because they have a preconceived notion as to how they want things to go and spirit or that loved one has their things that they need to get out. So that, that makes perfect sense to me. I'm wondering if, so how did the, how did the information or how did the messages come to you? Were you awake? Were you asleep? How did, how did that happen? Yeah, both. When I was awake and intended to get Wednesday, you know, I would ask and I would hear a voice in my head. Sometimes I would hear it in my ear, like not even in my head, it would just be someone talking in my ear and just relaying the information. Sometimes, you know, that's, again, it's not a perfect science. Sometimes it's like I'm listening to someone from down a hallway or I'm listening to somebody on the phone and there's a lot of static, but I can still kind of hear them. Some people coming, some spirits coming clear, clears day. And I could just relay everything they want to say. And there's a lot of different factors as to why, why is it be so different from reading to reading. But I just remember it like so many people like that I would just pick up on something that's just like, I'm like shocked. I'm like, how would I know that? And I'm just listening. I'm just listening to what's going on or what's sometimes it's, sometimes it's not even spirit or at least I don't interpret it as spirit talking to me. I guess it's the psychic part. Just it's just that intuitive knowing. It's like, I just know something about you. So what is that? Is that is that Claire cognizant? How does it send? How does it the feeling is sentient? Sentient. Claire and Claire, Audient is is hearing. OK, so you have a little bit of correct everything. A little bit. I think you are too. It sounds, you know, when you just know, I Claire cognizant. And if you hear Claire, Audient, and the feeling is sentient, I think. You're right. Don't be the people if I'm wrong. Well, then we're both wrong. That's the case. So when it started in the I'm I'm asking because I've heard that oftentimes people's gifts, I will just call it the training wheels of opening up their gifts. Things come in dream because that's when there's nothing preventing it from happening. And then it's a practice to start to get it when your eyes are open or you're awake. Is that kind of what was going on with you? Or did it automatically go in both directions for you? More so when I was awake, I think maybe because I was I was aware of it, intending it and trying to pull it to pull it forward. I still get even then I still got stuff in my dreams. It just wasn't maybe as much as maybe people would expect. I didn't get woken up a lot as, you know, as a you know, my younger self because spirit woke me up to get to get me to say something to somebody. Or they would tell me you're going to meet so and so or interact with so and so. Can you say this? And I remember Pat, you know, Pat is a great teacher because she she wants her mediums to respect boundaries. So it's like I'm not going to walk up to a stranger like you might see on television and just start blurting out stuff. Because, you know, there's a boundary and there's an appropriateness to it. So, you know, but occasionally, like I remember spirit would just wake me up and say, can you really say something to somebody? And most of the time I'd be like, fine, I just got like, tell me, tell me how to find them. And because, you know, spirits going to find the like any medium, any psychic, the easiest route to get the message across. Because there was one time I was still living at my parents' house and some spirit woke me up. It was a gentleman he wanted me to talk to his niece who happened to work down the road from where I lived. Because down the down the road from our house was the area with the stores and shops and things that you could you could it was walking distance. And I'm like, I was wracking like, you know, getting myself all nervous and worked up because I'm like, I'm going to walk in and ask this person here. And, you know, because I didn't even know when they were working like and I but I did it. I walked in, I introduced myself. I didn't say I was a medium. I just said I had the I just described like I had the weirdest dream of this gentleman, his name. I think his name was Frank. And the woman I was addressing this to, she knew exactly what I was talking about. And she thanked me afterwards. But it's like, you know, my like, I think like my heart was going to pound out of my chest because I was so nervous. I'm like, here I am a stranger walking in. I don't know you like I've never been in this place before in my life. And I'm just going to, you know, give you a message from someone who passed away recently. Thanks. Oh, my gosh, that would freak me out a little bit. And it would make me nervous. But I think that you were compelled and drawn to do that. So good for you to to step up and do that. That's that takes a lot quite honestly. I didn't I didn't step like that maybe a few more times. And like, like, again, Pat, Pat, in her wisdom said, you know, I got to call the shots. I got to tell them, you know, you can tell me, but you got they Spirit has to set up the oration where they know who I am and they'll come find me. Because that honestly, it was just too nerve wracking just to walk up to strangers and just start talking. And I don't want to do this. It's way it's way too much stress on me. Let them like have them find me somehow and I'll give them the message, whatever they need. That seems to a little warmer introduction situation there. So that that'd be the way I feel like it's also better when the person is looking for it, as opposed to cold, cold. Here's a piece of information that you that you made out of wanted. It's like right across the head was a head. OK, thank you. So on your website. It in the Joseph Dyerot dot com. You have a section that discusses your services and there are a lot of tools in your toolbox. You have the private one on one readings, group and gallery readings, Reiki and shaman style healing, which mind and body, house space clearing, which sounds really cool. And I think we may have you come back because on each one of those, there's got to be some stories that you could share that would be pretty interesting. So especially with the house and space clearings, there's some I've got some interesting stories. Yeah, I bet we could have a whole series on those alone. You also do tarot readings or angel cards. Yes, well, I understand it. OK, guided meditation, spiritual wellness and intuitive workshops. So do you have like a go to when somebody comes in for a one on one or is it do they call the shots or do you do you already have something in mind or a preferred way of communicating whatever it is that they're wanting from that? That session, a majority of my clients just simply want private readings. So very, I guess, rarely like in the session, do I kind of feel like they really need Reiki on top of on top of a reading? So I'll do both. Otherwise, it's really just they pick from the menu. They contact me and tell them what to tell them. Tell they tell me what they'd like to receive. OK, OK. And I think the next besides the Reiki, the next big thing for me is house house and space clearings, because it's not just houses, I also I also do businesses. Oh, wow. I bet that would be there's some stories there, too. Yes. For sure. So prior to every show, I have an opportunity to speak with the guests and Joseph and I had a conversation a few weeks ago and he brought up the idea that, hey, what do you think about doing a quick reading before we do the musical questions? And I was like, I'm cool with that. And he's like, are you sure? And I said, yeah, let's do it. So if you're still good with that. Oh, yeah, I'm still good with that. OK, perfect. Let's do it. Let's let's do this. This is this is going to be kind of cool. Well, fortunately, I've already been sitting in your energy. So. You have it. Let's say your dad on the other side, like he's he's obnoxious because he's been tapping my shoulder, waiting, like waiting, waiting for the opportunity to say something to you because. Yeah, but you know, but you've heard of him before. You've heard from him before. Yes, I have. But he does want to say that he's absolutely proud of you. He says for doing things for you, that's a different than different than what he knew you when he was here on here on Earth, because you are such a helper for everybody else. And he says, not that that change, but it's just like you took a little bit of. Made a decision where you wanted to focus a little more like, what do you enjoy? What do you want to do? And incorporated that into everything else that you got going on? Yeah. But you're because you're because he says you're such a guru in your own sense. And he's also telling me, Joe, don't swell his head. And I'm just like, boy, let's do it. Make up your mind. Do you want to talk highly of your son or do you want me to deflate his ego? Come on, which way do you want to go? That was my dad. As long as it makes sense to the back and forth. Oh, yes. It makes complete sense to me because my dad was not the guy who threw around compliments ever. So, yeah, that's that's my dad. Back, actually, sort of almost a backhand to compliment. Yes. It's a compliment. There's something else. There's something else in there just like, really? You have to say that today. To see me. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He he was a funny dude. And whether he knew it or not, he he was he was something for sure. That was good. I also have to break up your mom because she's patiently waiting. And because she says like, you know, she says, count her separate from your father because she's totally different personality. She feels like such a sweetheart and with just such good intentions. She also tells me she like she's maybe just a little disappointed because she said she left earlier than she would have liked. She wouldn't want to do a stay longer on earth. And she says, but don't think I didn't stop, you know, being your cheerleader since I got to the other side because she the way what she was describing me because while I'm talking to you, I'm talking to them. And she says she's always encouraged you to whatever you wanted to do. And she says, I continue that on on the other side. Not that you'd really not that you really need it because you're pretty good at this now. But just as there was a little time where you really like she says, I was the best friend. I kept like we talked about everything. And she says, all I love doing was giving him the inspiration to keep going. And I want to keep doing that. Wow. That's so funny that you said she was my my cheerleader, my biggest fan. Holy cow. And she was a completely different person than my dad. She was. Loving, kind, nurturing and supportive. To a fault. I'm sure. Wow. You got me on that one. She doesn't come through very often, but you you got her. Holy crap. You got her. Holy crap. I usually was that usually I could get somebody, maybe not who we expect, but I can usually get somebody somebody that you would know. But she's a riot because I'm asking her. It's like, boy, I like I because what I do is especially with couples, I kind of get like that in colleague of what their dynamic was. Like, how did this work? He's your father's such a pain in the ass and she's sweet. But I'm like, it works. It works. They loved each other. You know, they loved each other to a fault. But I get it. Like your mom, your mom put up with a lot, but also she annoyed him, you know, in her own right. So it will say, you know, the dynamic makes sense after talking with them for a couple of minutes. Yeah, it was oil and water sometimes or Oscar and Felix, the odd couple, but it worked. Yeah, it was. Wow. That was so good. Unbelievable. Do you want to. You also, Bob also says she wants you to pick up an instrument. Oh, something you've been thinking about, but you haven't maybe haven't done it in a long time. And she said, pick it up again. And she says, not because it would make me happy. And the point is it would make you happy. And because that's like something that's an activity that's it's not just freeing. It's it's almost like connecting to your higher self when you get lost in this. And I think people, people, especially nowadays, really need to rediscover. What is that thing that you do that we all kind of do for ourselves that doesn't I'll say not lost in the ether, but a kid nexus with that ether. Well, I'll tell you this and this you did not know. I went to school for music and I sang opera for a time. And I have a guitar that I pick up every once in a while. And I keep saying, oh, I should really do that. I should really, really do that. That's. Wow. Spot, spot freaking on. Well, please, please just know that your mother's watching. And that's why she's making me talk about it. Because spirit, not that they get annoyed. It's not what that is, but they're like, but you keep doing the thing. Why don't they just go a step further? And it's like, why not just go the step further? Because what's what do you got to lose? You get it's just it's just a mo you'll give yourself some moment of joy. Yeah. No, that's that's good stuff. Holy cow. Well, thank you for for sharing that. That you you are good. And I but I knew that. Our friend, our mutual friend, Jen Weigel speaks so highly of you. And I love that. Oh, she's she's the best. You know what? It's interesting. And kind of picked up. Obviously, it's a different relationship than my mother. But Jen is such a cheerleader and supporter and is so kind and positive as it relates to me and basically anything I do that I'm sure I don't know that I'll ever be able to thank her enough to be honest with you. But this is this is all very good. So why don't we go ahead and start our musical section? Because anyone who has ever listened to the podcast before can tell you this is the section when I ask the guests some musical questions. This is Pillar three ever show. And as I mentioned regularly, music is the tie that binds. And I believe that everyone has a soundtrack that accompanies their life. If they just take a moment to think about it. So are you ready for the musical questions? Oh, I'm ready. OK. What was the first song you fell in love with from the radio? You know, I will say trying to think about this quickly. It's like I don't remember. I don't quite remember what year it was. But it was I saw the side by Ace of Base was the first song that I can remember that I just wanted to hear over and over and over again. How prophetic is that? I saw this. It's awesome. That is awesome. Holy crap. That's good. I listened to that. And I whatever it first came out when it was playing on the radio, I remember I remember it was summertime and my father was driving the car. The song came on and I'm just like, I love this song. And I've just been an Ace of Base fan ever since. That's awesome. That is awesome. I love that. You're the first one who who mentioned that song. You are the first. That's fantastic. Did you have a song that everyone would belt out on road trips or vacations whenever you're growing up? No, like I try to remember my family like we all had different interests. Mostly when it came to I don't remember us singing, singing any anything specific. Besides, besides like a sitcom jingle. OK, OK. Because I'm like, what are we? We're like, you know, just something that would last like two seconds, like, you know, two seconds because like intro, intro to TV shows don't last that long. No, they don't. But, you know, it's one of those things that I remember. Like if it is it isn't even necessarily a when I was growing up, but I was in college, we made we had a road trip. Some buddies and I from my house took a road trip down to Florida and we listened to Della Me Tree, Stone Cold Sober. Oh, and over and over and over again. And we would just start singing it from the top of our lungs. And we probably listened to that entire CD. I don't know how many times, but that was that was one of those things for me. And it's it's just one of those things. It doesn't have to be anything that was a specific song that because you hit it on the head. My my dad liked country music. And at that time, I wasn't, you know, I listened to it and I knew all the words because of being in the car with my dad and my mom liked pop music in Captain and to Neil and Karen Carpenter and all of those types of songs. So yeah, I get it. I get it. Sometimes it's. It's it's it's hard when you're it's hard fighting for the dial. Yeah, because, you know, like my parents, you know, they grew up in the 60s, so they were very into the 60s or the 70s. And of course, you know, my son was I we were 90s kids. So we were listening to the 90s stuff. My father also appreciates the 50s and the 40s. But not that he doesn't listen to newer stuff. My dad, my dad, I think he happens to like Britney Spears when she was bigger, which was that was that in the spice goals. That was interesting. I'm like, my dad likes the spice girls. That's pretty. I mean, that's cool. That's cool. No, that's very cool. I mean, so like we all listened to. I mean, there's nothing really that it's like I shied away from. It was just that yeah, I was just more drawn to the music that was popping up when I was growing up. Excellent. So do you have a favorite song that's a hype song that makes you want to just go out and kick ass that day? I think so. It makes you want to kick ass that day. If you're working on a project or something that you yeah, I need some inspiration to get this thing going. You know, a song that comes to mind is undefeated by skillet. Undefeated by skillet. I have never heard that and I've never heard of skillet. There they're a rock, a rock band. Well, people are going to hear skillet undefeated. I have a we've put together a playlist, so they're going to get it. That's awesome. I like being new music is fantastic. I've been exposed to some some different artists through the different gas that we've had the various guests and it's been really cool. I as a matter of fact, there are a number of the songs that were on the playlist for the episode, that particular episode that is now on my playlist that I bring along with me. So I wouldn't be surprised. Did you have a favorite song that you and your friends would belt out when you were a senior in high school? Yes, that at that time it was Time of Your Life by Green Day. Oh, yeah. And a second song was This Is How You Remind Me by Nickelback. That's a good. Yeah, you know, that's a band that gets. Crapped on quite a bit and. Yeah, you know what? I like them too. And I don't understand the crapping part because there's a there's a thousand other bands exactly like them. So it's like what made this what made the specific band so different? I don't know. I don't know. And I like their music and they did some soundtrack work like Hero was another one that was I think it's good stuff. That Hero is one of my all time favorite songs like that. Like I know I know all the words. I can go through the whole thing. And it's that's another, I guess, inspirational song to pick me up. Do you do karaoke? I do karaoke with friends very occasionally. You know, I'm weird. I have to be in the mood. I really, really have to be in the mood to get up and sing. Otherwise, I just listened to everybody all night. Yeah, yeah. My my mood is usually a couple of vacasotas and then I'm ready to go. But, you know, and that's a funny thing. I used to sing in front of thousands of people, you know, who were singing opera or the national anthem for sports teams, you know, which is really cool to be. Well, thanks. No, yeah, it seemed like a lifetime ago, quite honestly. Did your musical tastes change after high school when you were in school or in college, I should say? No, I mean, anything, if anything like it expanded, you know, as I've discovered other things, but, you know, I'm a little maybe I can say I'm a little eclectic because I didn't like the rock bands, the grunge, the grunge thing of the 90s, but I was also in a taco. So I liked J-pop. OK, OK. I know that's that's cool. So like a lot of my friends, like when we went on our own little you'll see car rides forever, like we would sing Japanese. And Japanese, you know, Japanese pop or opening openings to enemies because we knew the words and we would be. We all knew those that we would do that. So like that. So I didn't do it with my family. So I did it with friends. Yeah, yeah, that's cool. I mean, that's really cool. I think it's something when, like Billy Joel's got a song called You Are The One and he goes into speaking French in one of the verses. And I always think, oh, yeah, look at that. Pretty cool. French, Japanese, different, much more difficult, much more difficult. Yeah, much more difficult. You know, I learned it. I learned it phonetically, like, you know, I can put together, you know, watching some titles and everything. You after a while, you immerse yourself, you pick up on things. But I would never I would never say I'm good at singing any of that. That's cool that you do it, though. So do you have a guilty pleasure song? One that if somebody saw would be like, OK, dude, really? Currently, because it does it changes it changes from time to time. I think right now it would be vogue by the Donna. Awesome. OK, because, you know, I view it as it's a nice it's a nice pick me up, you know, like, I guess to strip my stuff if I if I need that kind of a pick me up in the day for sure. That's cool. That's very cool. Yeah, I have a couple of them and it's Shake It Off by Taylor Swift and Backstreet Boys, everybody. Yeah, so I like that. I like them, too. Yeah, you know, it's just one of those things that good music and whatever. I don't care. So. This is one of my favorite questions to ask. And it's sometimes you hear a song that rings so true, it can stop you in your tracks. And the lyrics of the song sound like they were written specifically for you or by you. What's that song? What's that song that means? It sounds just. I can think of a few, maybe. Sure, let's turn life of my own by three doors down. Oh, that's I like three doors down a lot. Yeah, it's like it's a tie between that and kryptonite because that song. Oh, I mean, I'm a slight superhero fan, but that song always resonated with me. Hmm. That's like even when it first came out, like, to like, I've loved that song like forever. That's good. Like, I must listen to that song at least three times a week. Really? Yeah, like I put my headphones, I go to the gym and like, and I that's one of that's one of the workout songs because it gets it help. I guess it gets me going against me. Pumpt. Yeah, that's cool. You said you had a few. What what might be some of the others? Another one was any other way by theory of a dead man. That I that I know that's that's a good song. That's I like those guys. I do. You know what? I end up singing them a lot for my karaoke. Is I usually like usually I'll do Santa Monica by a theory of a dead man as a carry. OK. OK, rage. I've done some some rage before when doing karaoke, believe it or not. So that's I'm all over the board when it comes to karaoke. It all depends on the mood and everything else. I I break out country music and Billy Joel. I can do Bon Jovi. I sing, believe it or not. And some of the bands I've been in. Bon Jovi has been one of the artists that we do a lot because I've been told I do Bon Jovi pretty well. So so I'll pull that out and do a little one, a dead or alive or something like that. But that's awesome. Yeah, that's it's fun. Last one, do you have an all time favorite song? That would be either a hero by Nickelback or Kryptonite by. Very cool. Kryptonite by three doors. Yeah, I knew I knew you're that's that's a good one. They're both good. So I like it. Well, thank you so much for sharing those. Those and we have some other ones, but we're kind of. You know, cutting it close on time. So I just want to make sure that we get through to the end and make sure that everybody knows how to get in touch with Joseph. So what I'll do is I'll get all of his songs from his playlist and we'll make sure that they're on the playlist for this episode.

And there's also going to be that link that I just spoke of to get in touch with Joseph regarding booking a session with him. And you'll see on there when you take a look at his website, he really does have so many things. And one thing I didn't mention was the Feng Shui that you're involved with too. So that is also something that you can help somebody out with. So that's that. Excellent. That is just a quick little thing about that because my, my professional background besides this is I'm an architect and I was, I've always been fascinated with Feng Shui and I just felt this was a great way to marry the architect part and the spiritual part here. You know, what's something that also can serve whoever needs it. I love that. And you're in. Thank you for mentioning that. I started, we started talking about the family and then the teachers and everything. And I, I just go wherever the conversation goes and I totally forgot to go back to. So what is it that you do on a full time basis? So yeah, I think it's interesting. Well, I mean, think about it because a lot of times folks don't. Well, I think of an architect being very exact, very precise, analytical and thought as well as artistic, because you have to have that creativity. You need annoying and artistic. OK, you said it now me. Yeah, I did. Well, in that profession, you have to be precise and a stickler and just so otherwise problems and a lot of other problems are a lot of money has to be spent when you do. Yeah. But oh, yeah. But I love it. It's like, I that's something I want. My great grandfather was an architect and so like I'm following, kind of following in his footsteps. I've always been fascinated in this little like I can't leave. It's like the psychic world is wonderful, but I can't do this. I love it too. All right. Well, I choose between two good things, right? Yes. Well, all right, my drop the needle posse, like Billy Joel says, from the highs to the lows to the end of her show. This is the end of her show until next time. This is Jim. I'll stop wishing you infinite health and happiness and the perfect playlist for your life. Thank you again for being the best part of us. Catch you next time.
