0:00.0	Welcome to the DTFH. Hello. Oh my God, what an episode we have for you today. This covers the
0:07.4	whole gamut of everything that I'm interested in, spirituality, politics, and mind control.
0:15.6	And who better to have this conversation with than Robert Ryan? Robert Ryan is an artist and one of the coolest
0:23.4	artists I've ever met. If you're lucky enough to live in New Jersey, you could actually get a tattoo

1:30.3	Well, I was birdwatching.
1:32.3	Then all of a sudden, the house caught on fire right next to where I was standing.
1:37.1	And I happen to have an accelerant that I always carry with me.
1:44.2	How you doing? I'm doing well. How are you? I'm good, me. How you doing?
1:45.5	I'm doing well.
1:46.3	How are you?
1:46.8	I'm good, man.
1:47.8	You seem to be, as always, traveling the world, doing meditation retreats.
