I think this is an important question I think that it's and you know for for many years I thought I knew the answer yeah and I thought the answer was no but are you but today based on this conversation spoiler alert I have new information that has come to light via our shared experience

at a place called the magic castle but you don't have an answer though I don't think I'm an answer but I think I need to talk this out yeah because it's not nearly as simple as I thought it would be we're going to verbally process that question yeah it isn't important one before we do I will say that as you're listening to this

it's you know we took a three week break so welcome back to the freshness of a totally new year biscuit thank you for re listening to some older ones over the past few weeks but we are currently as you're listening to this if you're listening to a fresh we're in Australia

we're doing the tour of mythicality in Australia and if you're curious what's going on with us well you can look on Instagram and the other places where we're probably posting things I imagine the future probably the present listening us is sharing our experience how's that for a teaser we are probably posting stuff but speaking of the tour of mythicality if you want to experience us live on a stage

you can still do that November 8th we're going to be in Toronto Ontario that's Canada the Sony Center then Friday November 9th we're going to be in Atlantic City New Jersey at Caesars Atlantic City

circus Maximus and then Saturday November 10th we're going to be in oh goodness the Foxwood resort casino in Connecticut so go to tour mythicality dot com there are still available tickets for those they are moving pretty quickly but if you want to we don't make it to the northeast very often this is

probably the only time that the tour of mythicality will be coming to that part of the country come see us so make it happen cabin and we may we may have a magician there with us I don't know it depends

depends on how this conversation goes now I got a really good friend of ours Mike who is following in our footsteps of turning 40

and say he's like I got to do something I got to have a good 40th party and he wanted to do something involving

wanted to go to the like telescope telescope but but then that was booked up Mount Wilson you can have a party inside of a telescope and it's actually pretty awesome much more exciting than that sounded we were really excited

actually toward these these telescopes with my kids last year and thought to myself and they were like you can have a birthday party here and I was like I don't even know anything about astronomy it

one of those guys who says astronomy and astrology interchangeably okay that's cool no I'm not but there are you know who you are but it turns out it was booked up so we couldn't

make that happen but it also turns out that Mike's second passion in addition to the far reaches of the galaxy is the far reaches of supernatural phenomenon in the form of magic

I think he may be misrepresenting his his perception there I think he just likes the thrill of being fooled because he is a very knowledgeable guy

about pretty much everything and he knows the secrets behind lots of magic tricks okay he's read about them he's fascinated but he likes to give himself over to the process of being amazed by magic

and the best opportunity for that to happen in Los Angeles is the magic castle maybe in the world I don't know I think it's a pretty special place this Los Angeles because it has a place called the magic castle

we have so a whole group of our friends we went to the magic castle to celebrate his 40th birthday but just to explain what the magic castle is if you don't know basically in the heart of Hollywood kind of up on this

slope there's a mansion a lot of castle it's a mansion I would say it kind of looks like if you seen the haunted mansion at Disneyland now the house was just there but then at some point it was bought by these people who wanted to turn it into a private magic club of course I guess decades ago

yeah decades so in order to get into this place you have you just can't show up and make or and go in you can't even make reservations like as a restaurant or something you have to know someone who is a member
