In the inaugural episode of What the Fuck Was That?, Miranda Webb kicks off her raw, unfiltered new podcast with the same chaotic energy and honesty that defines her. She explains the show’s name and mission: capturing the wild, mind-bending conversations and life stories that leave you wondering “what the hell just happened,” all while embracing profanity and rejecting polished content creation. What follows is her powerful, hilarious, and deeply moving speech from Anarcho Poco titled “What the Fuck Was That?”—a rollercoaster recounting of her unconventional upbringing with criminal, free-spirited parents, fleeing to Mexico with warrants, surviving an abusive relationship and the trauma featured in the HBO series The Anarchists, and ultimately finding redemption, chosen family, aerial silks freedom, true love, and purpose in the Anarcho Poco community. Equal parts comedy, cautionary tale, and inspiration, this episode celebrates the beauty of scrapping rigid plans, turning pain into art (including her comic book series), healing through community, and trusting that life’s detours often lead to something far better than expected.
Transcript (Generated by AI, won’t be perfect but I dont have time to edit, we are going for good enough here)
Hi, everybody. This is Miranda, and welcome to my new venture. What the fuck was that? I couldn’t think of anything better to call it. I need to get comfortable anyway. I was raised in a very.
How do I say this? Improper household. You know, I know a lot of people have criticized me over the years because of how you swear words. But the reality is, if you’re afraid of a four letter word, this is not the show for you. The reason it’s called. What the fuck was that? Is because this is going to be the worst things about my life.
This is going to be conversations with other people and generally the best conversations leave you kind of wondering, what the hell was that? You know, like what? What is even happening, right? And so this is my attempt to start to capture some of the amazing conversations with some of the amazing people in my life, because there are a lot of amazing people that I’ve met through an article Poco through my life in general, my wife before in Acapulco.
There are some really special people out there, and I’ve had some really special conversations that I ended by saying, I wish I would have filmed this and had this as a podcast. So the goal for this is not what many people do. I’m not trying to become a content creator. Technically, I am one, but I’m not trying to do this for a job.
I’m not trying to, you know, this is not something I’m intending on monetizing and not I want it to be my job. Right? This is something that I’m doing in addition to all the other things that I do and to the web design, the event planning, the, you know, comic book series, which the next episode will included. A lot to talk about that this is in addition to for now, I am committing to two episodes per month bi weekly because I am a busy, busy person and it has taken me somewhere in April.
So like several months after I decided that this is the year that I’m going to do it, I really decided after I gave my speech at American Poker this year because I was like, oh, finally, now I know what to do for the first episode. This is the introduction to that. So I did want to share a little bit about what I’m trying to do here.
And I can’t do this sort of thing without showing where I came from. And my speech at in October this year was called what the fuck was that? And it was the whole vibe was why you shouldn’t bother planning, because nothing’s going to go according to plan anyway. And most of the time it’s going to end up better than you expect.
And that was kind of what I was going for. And the speech touched a lot of people. And I know there’s a lot of my family and people like that that haven’t gone to see that speech. So this is for them. And this is also just for anybody who’s curious. Yeah. So thank you for taking the time to listen to this and starting this journey with me.
And yeah, I’m just going to I’m just going to get into it and share this right before and edit them together and post it and throw shit at the wall and see what sticks and come and let me know your thoughts. You can message me and let me know your thoughts. And please share if you found this resonated with you in any sort of particular way.
And let’s let’s see what happens. Thank you.
Nobody embodies Naka Poco quite like our next speaker. She has been involved with this organization since the very beginning, and to watch her evolution has been truly magical. Please welcome to the stage, our stage manager, Miranda Webb.
Thank you. Hey, I can hear myself. Okay. So, waiting for my presentation.
What the fuck was that? I originally had to say, what was that? And then I realized this morning that that’s not genuine who I am. People have criticized me for how much I say fuck. Well, fuck no. So this is intended to be a bit of comedy, but also a bit of inspiration. Anybody who has followed my story knows it’s fraught with all sorts of shit.
My mom taught me to see the comedy in situations. We were even joking about her unfortunate death. At her funeral, which pissed off my grandmother. But that was who she was, and that’s who I am. So this is my way of reframing that story and also showing what happened after the anarchists, because they kind of made it seem like this conference was ending, the world was ending, and all all was lost.
It didn’t clearly why planning didn’t work for me. And I’ve completely given up because what happened was way better than I could have expected anyways. A cautionary tale. So this is how I got to Mexico. For those of you that aren’t familiar with my story, I had Julie draw this for me yesterday because I didn’t like the version I saw of this online.
That’s me in 2016, running across the Mexican border. And it’s because I’ve got warrants. That’s why the chicken crossed the road. In case you were wondering, that’s why that happened.
I thought about using a good photo of myself from the anarchists, but I thought I would really depict how I actually felt doing the anarchists. That started off as a sort of conversation with my friends. I was like, this is going to go on YouTube. This is going to be fine. Then the murder happened and I was like, this is not going on YouTube.
And then, you know, it ended up on HBO. The biggest trauma dump ever. You know, people make fun of people for crying on the internet. Well, I did it on international television, repeatedly. So that’s where you can find a lot of the story. But the story almost seems like it ends in 2020. It doesn’t give a whole lot of what happened after.
And that’s where the real growth happened. But we’re going to go back a bit to my parents. What did they expect when they got pregnant with me? Well, they met because my mom was a drug dealer and she sold my dad weed. And my dad likes to smoke weed. So can they really be surprised? I asked my dad, are you surprised?
No, no I’m not. What did I expect? Right. The day my mom realized she was pregnant with me and my parents got arrested for possession of cannabis. Most people don’t know this. And she got out of jail and said, by the way, I’m pregnant. And he said, good. I hope she looks just like you. I’ve asked him if he’s come to regret this.
He says he hasn’t, but he has a lot of gray hair on my behalf. So you know that hair is not brown anymore. He looks basically the same with some wrinkles and gray hair. So, like mother, like daughter, much to everybody. In my family’s dismay, I turned out in some ways exactly like my mother. I’m strong. I hate the government.
I like to run from cops. You know, and my mom was also a fugitive for, I want to say, seven years of my childhood. She was just on the run. So when people ask me where did you get the idea to go on the run? Well, that’s what I knew. My mom was missing in action most of the time.
Or hiding. You know, she was the woman who. We’d be in the car, driving down the road. She’d see a cop and go. Because she looks like me. And she went by the drug dealer name of Red. So she wasn’t really hatable. But the thing that my mom did wrong is she stayed in Ohio. I did not. I looked at her story, not on purpose, and said, well, hold my beer.
I don’t drink beer. But that’s what I said. This is me about two years old. Some things never change. People that know me know that I travel with the stuffed animal. I got into a police chase once in Ohio, like a couple of years ago, apparently for not wearing a seatbelt. Even though not only did I have a seat belt on myself, I had a seatbelt on my teddy bear who is in the seat next to me.
Quite a sight to behold that a cop got in front of my car. I hit him, he somehow still came after me and I walked away from it. I don’t know, I must be really blessed or Mexico is just really compatible with me, which it is, and I can explain more about that later. So bad choices make good stories.
My dad bought me a t shirt and brought it to Mexico in 2020 when he came to this conference, because he said, that’s your story. And I was like, yeah, dad, I still have that t shirt. This photo is from the time and I’m not condoning stealing. My mother stole that golf cart from the campground and she, joy wrote she was pregnant in this photo.
She joy rode us around that campground until she accidentally drove it off a cliff. A short cliff, but a cliff. So this is the influence I had. You know, I didn’t have the influence of following the rules. I was barefoot pretty much all the time. It’s me on the back with my arms up, having the time of my life.
So this is. People often ask me.
How long have you been an anarchist? Since before I was conceived. That’s just how it happened for me. I know most people don’t have that. I don’t know any other way. I did not have a wake up moment. I did have a oh, shit, I brainwashed myself again moment were for the first time, only time. But I did not have a wake up moment the way most people do.
This is me when I’m about eight years old. All I know now is what not to do. Most people have good examples of who to be, what to be. This is not a dig on my mother. My mom was awesome. She’s a funniest person to this day that I’ve ever met. She was incredibly smart. She could read a 500 day book in less than 24 or 500 page book.
In less than 24 hours. She could grow anything and I mean anything. But she wasn’t really good at making good decisions, and she had good intention of being a mom. But in practice, she didn’t really feed us. She couldn’t really take care of herself, let alone her children. And she kept having children. So I was like, okay, all I have to do to be successful in life is do the exact opposite of my mom.
So I’m going to try really hard in school. I’m going to get good grades. I’m going to make a plan. I’m going to stick to it. I’m not going to have children ever. And I’m going to be happy. Way happier with my mom. But I had no fucking clue what was coming for me because the reality is, we’re all kind of living a script.
I know Logan, one of my friends, he spoke last year. He talked about this scripted reality. Right. I have a little bit of a twist on it. I’m sure all of us who has ever read one of those books, who’s ever read one of those books? That’s like, you read a chapter and he gives you like three choices.
Go to this page and you go to that page and then it gives you some more choices, right? Those were awesome because you can choose your own adventure. That’s how life is. You’re given a script and then you’re given a choice on how to decide, right? I was given a script I was not meant to finish Kent State University.
In fact, I was talking about this with Dave Stan, who’s a TCV speaker, and he also Kent read Kent, right, Kent State.
I had no idea until I got there that the government fucking shot at students on the grounds. I was wandering around stoned. Imagine my surprise. Oh, great sites. That’s weird. Why are there bodies here? Oh, these parking spaces are blocked off, and I start reading plaques. And I realize that two of the people that died weren’t even protesting.
And then I start throwing rocks from where the students were up until where the well, trying to reach where the government was. And they just opened fire on students throwing pebbles at them. And I was like, oh, what the fuck am I doing here? This is not okay. This is not okay. And within a year I had dropped out.
This was taken a month before I went to college, and the same beloved campground. Very haunted as campground, but beloved campground shown earlier. And I had no idea what I was, what I was getting myself into. I did not know what was coming for me.
He was coming for me. Anybody who was here in 2016 met him. His name was. He was going by John, but his name was Shane, and he was very charismatic and he was very handsome. And the first thing he said to me is, hi, my name is Shane, and I just got out of prison for growing weed.
And I was like, ooh, red. That’s my favorite color. And we started dating and I broke my face two weeks into the fucking relationship, which was not advised. Apparently, roller blading down a hill when you’ve only ever been in a rink is not a good idea. And we stayed together even though we shouldn’t have. Now I will talk a little bit about the abuse.
But the reality was I was just as complicit in that because I stuck around, right? He was terrible to me. Technically speaking. I mentioned this upstairs. Technically speaking, because of certain types of abuse that I experienced as well as financial control and being isolated from my family and then shipped over an international border. I was, technically speaking, sexually trafficked.
I was not sold to people, but I was sexually trafficked. He didn’t know that that’s what was happening. But in essence, legally, that’s what happened. This photo is of us with the former anarcho Poco attendee a week into being here, teaching us literally how to fish because we were starving. We were depending on our friend, and it was really, really difficult.
You can see I was a lot skinnier than I am now. I got food and limited supplies now, so that’s great. But I found this photo recently and I was like, damn, I had no idea who I was at that time. I had no idea what I was doing. I had no idea how I was going to fucking pay for myself.
I was terrified. Do not recommend, but what a beautiful photo, right? And then this. I wanted to show the hard parts also. This was me for most of my time in Acapulco. I wish I could have got a better photo of that because it shows the same skin thing. But look at my eyes. This is the best photo of me I could find, but you can see me staring at him, exhausted, trying to judge what was the right thing to say if you heard me speak in 2016, 2017, 2018?
No, you didn’t. I was a parrot. That’s just the way it was. Like, I can remember fights that we had on all three of these days. It was very explosive. It was very intense. And anybody back then that knew me just fucking felt sorry for me. I felt sorry for me. Right? That’s a lot of shit to go through.
However, I’m not here to make you sad because these things happened. This is part of my script I did. I chose go to page 37 and this is, you know, run New Mexico and this is what happened. It’s exactly what needed to happen. This is me with Thaddeus Russell, Jason Henson, Todd Schramm, key and Kim Kyle. And those two are the anarchists from the anarchists.
Believe it or not, that was not an HBO psyop here to destroy the community and discredit everybody. A lot of people said, hey, I went to anarcho poker once. That’s not what it was like. No, you were here for seven days out of 365. A lot of what was shown in that series. While I don’t agree with what people said was more or less really kind of what each person felt was happening at the same time, you know, so it’s like lots of differing opinions.
They did their best to show all of that at this time in this photo. This was not funded by HBO. They were paying out of their own pocket every year to come back and film us. They didn’t start getting funding until that last final high quality interview. This was the day I did the interview, which you can still find with Thaddeus Russell, in which I told in detail a lot of my life story and how the murder happened.
It was the first time I had done an interview after the murder. I was also fully carnivore at this point, really, really traumatized. And I looked like a 13 year old boy.
This is me in about 2023. It’s a little bit of a fast forward, but I decided to use this because I had to learn after that point how to be flexible. Do I fucking kill myself? Right? Anybody would think of that, or do I get my shit together and decide to be happy? Well, we all know what happened, right?
The quote, the outcome is none of your business. Anybody who knows me knows that I fucking love Brother Ali. He is a albino Muslim rapper who sings about anti-government and love and law and his faith. And he is he’s one of the most incredible people. They say, do not meet your heroes because they’ll disappoint you. They were not talking about Brother Ali.
I did a I did a class with him and I said, what is your advice for people? And he said, and this was in regards to writing rap music. He said, the outcome is none of your business. Do not do something because of what you expect the outcome to be. Do it. Enjoy the process and that is kind of been my motto, more or less, over the last five years.
Without realizing it. He told me this a year ago. So I had to literally get flexible and figure out who I am, what I am, what I want to be, and what I’m doing with my life. I found family in Mexico. This is from anarcho poker 2024. You’ll probably recognize the girl in black. She’s been over there. She’s my.
I don’t even. She’s. She’s more than an assistant. She’s a lot of things. She’s. And she’s one of my best friends. Her name? Stephanie. These people became my family in Mexico. They knew about my story, and they made jokes. You know, helicopters coming over during class. They’re like, Miranda, they’re coming for you. You know, I appreciate that because I needed that humor.
I really needed people to accept me. I also needed people. I never had a party face. And in college, I just went right into fucking trauma and growing weed and fucking up, right? These people took me out. They showed me a good time. They parted with me. They accepted me. They made me rap brother Ali at three in the morning at a fucking karaoke bar.
Very confused. Very confused. But they. They encouraged me. You know, Roberto, the teacher. He taught me everything that I know up to this point about aerials. Which takes me to the next slide. I learned how to fly, guys, like, actually fly. I wanted to do this since I was a kid. I was too poor. I had no money.
My parents had no money. I had never heard of anybody offering these. But I knew about this. And as soon as I got the chance, I figured it out. I took classes, I learned, and this is a big part of where I found my freedom one and my femininity, too. I tell people often. I didn’t hit puberty until I was 30, and it was partially because of this, because had I been born into the modern school system, they would have told me I was trans and tried to put me on hormones.
I didn’t feel like a woman. I didn’t feel like a boy either. But I didn’t feel like a girl. Like, what do you mean? I would have never. I wore this dress on purpose today. Pink. What? I would have never done this, but I think I look all right in pink.
Thank you. So I found my freedom. I started out climbing my demons, so to speak, and really tuning into who I am. And then finally, a happy ending. He’s over here in the audience. I won’t point him out and embarrass him, but what a handsome guy. This was a year ago, on my birthday. He’s an actual gangster. Not now, not okay.
Not a not a mobster. Sorry, but like, who else could be on the other side of the planet watching the anarchists. Seeing in the last episode anyone that saw that saw I was in a relationship with a really weird tall guy. So seeing I was in a relationship and said, not to my girl. I’m going there. They’re not that close.
It’s good. I’m on my way. And he showed up at an archipelago 2023, and he showed me his beautiful face, and he gave me a little envelope with a little bit of money for my birthday that said, follow Your Star and signed his name. And the first thing he said to me was, I feel like I know you from watching the series.
You don’t know me yet. And I was just like, who the fuck is this? Like what? It worked. It worked. And so I got my happy ending. And because of the things that I experienced, we’ll go back a little bit here. I’m able to actually appreciate the love that I have. Most people are like, why didn’t I find somebody sooner?
Why didn’t I find you sooner? Because you’re not. Without going through all that hard stuff, you can appreciate the gifts that somebody who has just a very good heart is here to give to you. Because he literally came in like the knight in shining armor and guardian angel, big ass wings and everything. Like, I’m here to help. And all he has done is help.
I’m not me without him. And it’s not like. It’s not like it was in previous situations. And I started working for an hour ago. If I could tell you just how crazy it is to be up here. To be co-producer. To be stage manager when I was the one criticizing who was on the stage, well, that wasn’t actually my ex through me, but I kind of agreed it was like half the speakers were like, oh, I’m new to Hanukkah.
I found it two months ago. Yeah, but I’m speaking, you know, that was weird to me. I had my criticism. Savannah, Acapulco. And Jeff was kind of ambivalent towards us. He didn’t know what to think about us, and I respect that. But the the producers, they did not like us. And they made it clear. And we were very unwelcome.
So to be here now, such an integral part of the team is an actual blessing. And it wouldn’t have happened without her. You know who I’m pointing to? Katherine?
Yes. Let’s clap for Katherine. I hope she’s in here. Maybe she’s not. I know she’s real busy. We have this giant tattoo. This one together. Because we are platonic wives for life, and our men just have to deal with it. It’s a good thing that they’re friends. But I have my team, and I have all these people that I just adore, you know?
And I love to get to work with. This is me up and booty. Last year, looking at my comic book, which I’ll show you later, that Christophe’s helped us, helped us print and get ready to sell at last year’s Hanukkah Poko. I would be lost without these people. Not only I’m not going to disclose my income, not only do I have a means of survival now here in Mexico, financially speaking, but I have a tribe.
I have a whole group of people I love. Every single one of those people. A lot. Some of them are still here this year. Some of them are not. Some of them are coming back. You know, it’s a it’s a whole thing. But I love these people and I love this team. And I work for an hour Acapulco because of the team.
If Cat goes, see you bitch Im out. I go where Cat goes because I never worked with or for somebody who treats people so well. While I am on that, I also need to mention Jeff, because this doesn’t exist without Jeff, right? Not only did he give me the advice that got me across the border into Mexico safely without being deported, without being arrested.
He welcomed us, they say, in the series. Oh, we gave them a ticket to Freemans. Yeah. No they didn’t. That was Jeff. They had no idea we were coming and they didn’t like us instantly. That’s okay. Not everybody is meant to get along. But Jeff welcomed us. He didn’t know what to think of us, but he welcomed us.
And I will always be thankful for that. So Anarcha Poko saved my life. You know, when I was considering ending it all, I was like, man, that would be a dick move. That would be a really, really, really, really big dick move. If all these people who were won financially helping me with that money that was sent to me for a lawyer was scammed out of me and nothing delivered, but they were taking me out to Temescal ceremonies in which I got into police fights.
That’s a story for another day. But it was the people in this community, you know, like not all anarcho pocos in the bank. Yes, you can come and meet. You can meet Gareth, you can meet Andy Kaufman, you can even eat. I am, but it’s not about who you get to see on the stage. It’s about who you interact with.
I have my family here. I brought my dad here and he was like, I came down here to figure out what, what, what is all this about? And he said, after my last speech, I get it, I get it. This is where you’re supposed to be. I will be sending him the speech. Shout out, dad, you’re the shit!
And then I also made amends. The murder happened at this house. Here you can see the gate to it. It happened right outside that gate. The thing was, I lived there peacefully. Well, my relationship was anything but peaceful, but with my neighbors and with my landlady. It was peaceful for years before things went wrong. What went wrong was not, in my opinion, what they say happened in The Anarchist.
If you want my theory on that, well, I can just make it clear. If you’re mean to people in Mexico, even if you’re mean to Americans, life is cheap here and things happen. I honestly believe, and I know he knew this because he could feel it coming. He was apologizing to me in the weeks before his death.
I’m not mad at John anymore for the way he treated me. He was figuring it out way too late. But everything that happened up there happened because of what he how he treated people. So I went back and I asked for her phone number. And I was afraid too, because I know I left her one with a big electricity bill.
I didn’t know existed, and two, she had a fight. She spent thousands of dollars, $150,000 to get her house back because the government thought she was complicit in the fact that we were growing weed in that house. She just let us move in and pay rent in her retirement home. She does have her house back, clearly. I want to see her.
I had a three hour conversation in Espanol. No problem. Eben, Pedro Intento and.
She told me for a long time she hated me. And then she realized and she saw the series and she realized what I was going to through. And she said, I hope she’s okay, because the series didn’t really show if I was okay. Right? It showed me with a tall, weird guy that just wasn’t a good fit for me and that was it.
So I went up there and I saw her and I spent time with her. She made me pose in front of the view that I used to take so many photos of, for both my memories and hers and the people in the middle. Those are my neighbors. I don’t know, they’ve never told me, but it’s very possible their children witnessed the murder, and if they didn’t, they’re lucky because they were always outside.
Always outside. He’s a taxi driver. His name is Adrian, and they’re the sweetest people. They took in my ducks and some of my chickens after the murder, and they still have some of them, they said, because if I can live forever, the Mexican ducks and they’re just good people, they came to see me perform an anarcho poker. And so I healed.
I got right with my past because I don’t really have victims in my crimes in the United States. She felt like a victim to me because she and I left her some some money. I’m not rich, but I did leave her some money that day, and I intend to send some more to her. And then I healed. I got I got work.
You’ll recognize that lovely man in the corner Charlie talked about Bear. Bear heart is an institution. Their heart is the essence of a medicine man. And he fucking made me cry on my birthday because he said apparently I’m a medicine woman. Had no idea. But that’s, you know, to be continued. But I want to. I want to damn Buddha.
And I’m sad I don’t have a good photo of me with Vistara. She’s also here. She’s assisting in the ceremonies. She’s my Spanish mom. I collect parents, by the way, and people say, oh, you got so many dads because you got daddy issues. It’s the opposite. My dad taught me the value of dads, so I collect them like Pokemon cards.
I have my crypto dad, my Mexican dad, my cosmic dad, my band Buda dad, my uncle, dad, Hans. And I wouldn’t have it literally any other way, right. So I did a ceremony here. I went, I did, I went deep with Boafo here with bare heart and realized I’m free no matter where I am. It doesn’t matter if I’m in prison, which I’m hopefully not right.
Fuck that. But I’m free no matter where I am because of who I am. And I also learned I’m doing the right things. I have the right people in my life. That man that I showed here he is really is my guardian angel. My soulmate, and I’m doing exactly what I need to be doing at this point in time.
And I am healing. People ask me how I’m okay. This place is a big part of why I’m okay. I went to tennis core with this, started right after a police chase and then I yelled at her, let me the fuck out of here! And she was like, you’ll be okay, you’ll be fine. And I was like, this is worse than jail.
And you, lady, are the fucking warden. Let me out of here. Seriously. And she would. She’s like, you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine. She’s pat me on the back and playing her drum and and then the next year I’m crying in her tennis. Cal. Thank you. Thank you for being mean to me. And she’s like, I wasn’t being mean.
I was being tough on you. I love you, I saw you, and she was the only person who wasn’t like, oh, poor baby. After the murder, I needed that. I needed somebody to say, stand the fuck up. You got this. You’re not a weak little baby. Get over it. You got this shit.
These are some tools. Some might call this witchcraft. I know there’s a lot of Christians here that are really against shit like this. In my opinion, all of the religions are just ways to explain the stuff. We don’t understand the patterns of the universe. Why some person over here is not the same as another person over here. Why are you?
We can tap into these energies. These things are not evil. These things are tools for understanding and I would hope that people would see them as such. They’re tapping into, as you would know, God, that inspired me to get in aerial silks. I bought this deck when I was 18 years old, and I saw them and said, I want to do that.
Full disclosure, what he’s doing there is impossible. And he he would be falling to his death because there is nothing holding him up there. But it’s beautiful, right? It’s absolutely beautiful. So I’m into tarot. I like I’m into using the pendulum. I like to experiment with different things I’m born in. You’re the rooster. If you see me making chicken movements around, it’s because I’m a chicken, okay?
It’s what I am. When I was farming chickens in Acapulco, my ex said, you know, you look a lot like a chicken. Come to find out, I actually am a chicken, and I look like one. You know, we tend to look like our animals. Find out your Chinese zodiac and come tell me about it, because I love that stuff.
I’m also 33 Life Path. Yes, I am in fact a mason. They tried to recruit me when I was 18. I’m kidding. Well, they did try to recruit me. I’m. You know, there’s nothing wrong with that number. That’s just a number of the master teacher. The master influencer. That’s why they use that number, because they want influence. But that doesn’t make it evil influence in itself.
It’s not. Evil cat is also a 33 life path. So was her husband. So is Christophe’s are very intense lobbying guy running around clicking his pen in his negotiations, and in the middle of my human design, I’m a manifesting generator. This is the reason why I have the energy to fulfill six roles for Hanukkah poker. If you count speaking and performing and have side hustles.
I also work for an Ernie Hancock on his Occupy the Land project, and about a dozen other things. It’s because I’m the manifesting generator. I am here to get shit done. Not everybody is, and this tool helped me understand myself and it helped me understand everybody around me. We’re not all meant to be the same. We don’t all have the same energy sources, and it’s time we stop acting like it.
I’m going to get through the rest of this because I know that I’m getting to the end here. This right here is one of my best friends. You’ll see him around and you’ll see him after this. This is usually, I don’t know if I pronounce his name right. That’s how I pronounce his name. And he just deals with me.
We created this comic book series because I have always wanted to be involved in a comic series, based on a true story, of course. And we partnered This Is Us last year at our Acapulco, at our last book signing. Sharing this. We have these here for sale again. We will be doing a book signing after this. We also have a sneak peek of what’s to come.
I’d like to leave this up for a second. If you want a digital copy for just a few dollars of how we crossed that border, please scan that QR code. I also had merchandise there that I designed myself that is print on demand, so it will ship to you anywhere in the world. It is my pet project. This is Rootless renegade.
This is how I’ve decided to deal with my shit. Because what better way than to make art out of it? And this is the next edition to talk about what I talked about in this talk. The early days I. I was the baby who couldn’t. My mom called me the barfing baby. I couldn’t go anywhere without projectile vomiting.
So my dad’s solution was to put me on his Harley. There’s our lovely haunted house behind us, which I would buy that house in a second if I could, and he would just drive me around as a baby, six months old, on his Harley. And it fixed that issue. I still get a little motion sick. I don’t projectile anymore, but I need to tell the story of how my parents met because who I am doesn’t exist.
With out all of that, as you now know from listening to this, I brought him here.
That’s his birthday. When I told him I’m getting married.
He was like, hey, I think Mexico is a shithole after our capoeira. No offense, Taco Poco. I love Acapulco, but it’s dirty, it’s grimy, it’s not perfect. He was like, Holy shit. At all these buildings in Mexico City. Like, what is this? Not only that, but the way that I work and the way I’m able to bring in money, even though I don’t have a bank account.
Still, I don’t make as much as I’m worth, but I’m getting there. I was able to afford to bring him down. That’s a two Michelin star restaurant in Mexico City, and King Tonio for his birthday. And I wasn’t just me, though. It was also my man, because he knew I needed to see my dad and he needed to meet him.
And then I traveled the country chasing papers, working on it. We’ll see what happens. I can’t tell any information about that until I know any information about that. But I went to coffee plantations. My beloved cat goes with me everywhere. This is a whitish tree in Mexico. This is Palenque. I went all over the country chasing papers. I was stressed the fuck out.
I was working, but I had my freedom. I have I’ve had the freedom the whole time. And I was like, oh man, I’m stuck. No I’m not. I get to see. So much cool stuff. I’ve seen so many archeological sites. This is me and Scott at the happiest fucking place on the planet in Cancun. I thought Cancun was lame.
It’s not. And then this is me now. And beloved Burkhart. And then Stephanie, who I mentioned earlier and my my beloved partner. Just do the thing. That’s the advice. Just do the thing. Follow the call to adventure, weather, the storms and don’t be afraid to see what happens, because it’s always if you if you kind of follow the plan and trust the plan, but don’t try to make the plan, it’s going to end up better than you expect.
This is my personal website. There’s my social media. All of it’s linked to there. There’s a blog I need to update, a way to hire me. I do WordPress websites. I love that it’s my favorite thing to do other than anarcho loco work. This is where to find out more information about me. I’m going to leave that up for a second so people can scan it.
I that’s a labor of love. I taught myself WordPress because Leandrew, he built me a website for anarchaforko for in 2018. Well, him and Kelsey and I couldn’t afford them in 2019. And I was like, man, with those prices, I gotta learn how to do that. And I did, and now I can do that. So here we are.
We made it to the end. I hope you enjoyed this. And I’m going to be out there. I know it’s lunchtime, but I’m going to be out there selling these comic books as well as prints a vertical one, a horizontal one, sorry. And this design of Ulysses, which has been used a lot at anarcho loco this year. We’re going to be selling these out there and answering questions and I.
I really appreciate you. Hey, wifey. Hey.
Love you. Boo. So. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you so much for coming and cutting into your lunch. And I’m done. Only six minutes over. Hell, yeah. We’re giving away silver right now. Go to go to the front. You got to go in. If you’re interested. On the upstairs group stage, we’re going to have the Canadian panel at 255.
We’re going to have crypto at 420 and a BSB meeting at 7:00. We’ll see you back here in about an hour.
