EB: When you talk about the truth and bringing it to light and dealing with it and overcoming it. Those people will seek you out brother because your vibrations is high. Your message is high and you’ll end up like a magnet. Those people will find you. Just like Page did. You won’t be quite as obnoxious and relentless about it as he is. (Laughs)
JR: Thank goodness if I am! (Laughs) You and I both know that! (Laughs) You know it but my God he’s a pain in my ass sometimes. Holy crap.
EB: I have to save it because I’m going to have a little fun during the induction ceremony, trust me.
JR: I hope so brother. I think that’s probably the reason they don’t want me anywhere near it. (Laughs) Give him one for me. Give me a thumbs up and I’ll know what you’re talking about.
EB: I will.
