You know Winnie the Pooh is all about an acid trip? No, they say that about everything. The ride. Go on the ride. Yeah, something about it. The ride? Yeah, the ride at Disneyland. It sounds like the worst ride of all time. It's basically an acid trip. I remember one of the times I did it, I went through Disneyland high as fuck, and I was on the ride. I was like, oh! This is Winnie the Pooh's, he's on acid. Like there's all these visuals, and everything becomes psychedelic, and the colors are weird. Really? See if you get a video of the Winnie the Pooh ride. No, I'm telling you. Alice in Wonderland I'll get. Alright, there's mushrooms, there's talking cats and shit. No, something happens during the ride, and you go, like Winnie goes into, Winnie the Pooh goes into Dreamland. Oh, I don't know about the Dreamland. And when he goes into Dreamland, it's, you're basically on acid. You're going through an acid trip. Just feels like he's mellow. He's got, he's eating honey, he's got no pants. Mmm. Doesn't feel acidy. Well, watch this. See? Winnie the Pooh ride. Doo doo doo doo. Is it Disney World? Disneyland. Disneyland. This is out here. So you go through, everything's normal. Alright, I'm going real trippy. And then as you go through, not really, this is just pretty. Okay. Everything's lights, and yeah, you're on this little fucking thing, and you're on the little roller coaster ride, and oh, here's Winnie. Alright. And he's floating around with a balloon. It's kind of a cool ride. You know what is great? Good colors. My daughters were really young. Ah. They liked this. Oh, so pretty. Very pretty. And you're going through, and there's Eeyore, and then there's that other pig. I don't know who the fuck that is. Piglet. Piglet. And so then you go through, a bunch of shit happens, and give me a little fast forward here, because it's going to be boring. Yeah, this is the worst trip ever. Isn't that LSD honey? Isn't that like a way to keep it close? I think that's even worse. Well, there's that Nepal honey, that psychedelic honey. Maybe that's what it is. Give me a little fast forward. It is a little trippy. Oh, what was that? That's it. That's the trip. So right there. So what happens before that trip? Find out what happens right before that Jamie. Something happens. Yeah, see, because he's floating around. Watch. So Winnie the Pooh is sitting there, and then all of a sudden he floats out of his head, and look. He's floating. All right. Like he's fucking tripping balls. And then as the thing goes, it goes black, and then you see Winnie floating, and then boom, you're in psychedelic land. Everything is weird and whacked out, and there's Jack in the Box heads with big tongues, and everything is neon psychedelic colors, and the world's melting, and it's honey. And honey's spelled phonetically correctly. I see it now. It's got a little, what's it say, fear and loathing. It's DMT. This is like a DMT trip. That's what it's like. All these psychedelic things, you're seeing this is about as close to creating some sort of a psychedelic hallucinogenic trip in a kids ride, as you can get away with without getting arrested. See, I thought you meant the actual cartoon and story. No, no, no, no. But this I see. Yeah, it's like something, they're doing something. Oh, yeah. Like why is he tripping balls? Why is he floating? It's hilarious. You're a millionaire, and this is why you spend your time. Oh, that's how I work. Just reminding me, I didn't show it to you. There's a VR, I don't think it's a game, but I think it's like a VR experience if they have multiple of those, but it's an Ayahuasca trip. Ooh. And I think like, I'll show you the link. Bring it on, J-Mo. What's interesting that you're saying this is that Terrence McKenna actually predicted that you could recreate in the future with virtual reality a psychedelic trip, and it would have the same exact effect as a psychedelic trip, because it would be able to show you the same visuals. You know, you remember, I don't know if you remember this, but there used to be, you know what phone freaking was? Do you remember phone freaking? Mm-hmm. There was a way that you could use a public pay phone, and you had a device that would make a noise, because a public pay phone, right, you would press a button, like beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. Yeah. Well, you would hold a thing up to the phone, and it would go, and it would send a signal through sound, and the phone would just open up for you, so you could use it. Oh, no quarter. No quarter, and you would just start calling people. Oh, cool. And it would be done somehow or another through sound, like you would mimic the sound the phone would make ordinarily. Uh-huh. So it tricked whatever was on the other end that was waiting for the signal that was coming from those beep-beep-beep things. Right, right. Is this it here? Uh-huh. Iowaska. Oh, this is exciting, because I've always wanted to do it. Have you done it? I have done DMT. I have not done Iowaska, but this looks a lot like DMT. You've done DMT? You never mentioned it. I'm joking. Ha-ha. Yeah, there it is. There it is. Yeah. Oh, wow. That's pretty cool. Yeah, they're eventually going to be able to nail this and make it exactly like what you'd experience.
