So when I meditate, I'm in my room and I'm filling our apartment with love.

And I even try to fill your room with love because that's the purpose of the meditation. Thank you. Guys, welcome back to the Almost Friday Podcast. I am back from my retreat, and we have a special guest. Very special guest. A friend of me and Liam, and honestly, a friend of the program, Alec Flynn. A good comedian. A comedian. Stand up. We've grown to know and we've grown close with.

Yeah.

So here we go, and we're getting in right now.

And it's game time.

Alec Flynn on the podcast and William Angus back from his retreat. Guys, I have returned. I am enlightened. You look different. What? You look different. I'm probably more tan. I was out in the sun. You are. I went on a silent retreat. Dude, I've been hearing about this. Yeah, everyone's talking about it. Everyone's anyone. Everyone's fucking talking about it. Everyone's pretty pumped on me, not talking. It was sick. I'm a different, I'm a changed man. You look like a changed man. We pretty much only talked about you on the pod last week. Really? Yeah. I missed you so damn. Now let me ask you, how did the activities go if you couldn't really be directed on where to go, how to be, and how to... They laid it all out. Everyone in their room has a laminated sheet of their schedule. I can break down my schedule for you if you want. I would love that. 4.30 a.m. wake up.

Actually, 4.m. wake up.

4.30 a.m. go to the meditation hall.

Meditate till 6.30 a.m.

You go have your breakfast till about 7.15.

What was the average breakfast?

Every day it was oatmeal with dates.

And I could have toast if I wanted. And some days I would have peanut butter, only on days that were really hard. So I could savor it. So I'd have toast and peanut

butter. Then at 7.15, I would take a break. And my break always consisted of there was a walking path and there were three big ant piles and I would go check on the ant pile near the meditation hall. I'll go check on the ant pile on the walking path and then I'd go check on the ant pile near the solar panels. And they were all there were three different types of species of ants and so I was just watching, let's see what's happening. Let's see how these guys, like, each build their own society. Did you smite any of them? No. Actually, one kid did who was, like, talking to himself the whole time and was, like, trying to quit. And I even talked to him after, and he was like, yeah, I had a moment of moral impurity.

And that was me that clogged the ant pile near the meditation hall.

Moral impurity, that's a term not thrown around very willy-nilly, unless it's by someone that's deep inside some sort of Baptist church.
