EODMT right now. And he starts his panel. I'm walking out the door to come up and meet you.
- Jimmy Church
Just so you know. And George says, and by the way, I want to introduce everybody to somebody
- Jimmy Church
that sits in for me, that does the weekends, that he's been with us for years. And I just
- Jimmy Church
want to bring to the stage somebody that you all know, Jimmy Church. And I stopped, right?
- Jimmy Church
And I ran and I ran up to the stage and he goes, say something.
- Jimmy Church
And I said, George, I was leaving to get coffee.
- Jimmy Church
So at that time, Coast to Coast just started.
- Jimmy Church
And then I found out, and this is crazy, the studio was across the street from my condo.
- Xavier
Wow.
- Jimmy Church
across the street in sherman oaks where i broadcast now same studio and i can look out
- Jimmy Church

- Jimmy Church
I go live with Coast to Coast in an hour, but I'm listening to you.
- Jimmy Church
I was like, what?
- Jimmy Church
And so we have this thing, and I hang up, and the audience and Twitter and everybody's just like.
- Xavier
Just blowing up.
- Xavier
Right, right, right.
- Xavier
And I thought, how weird is that?
- Jimmy Church
At one point, I was like, I'm done with sports.
- Jimmy Church
I just want to get this UFO thing combined.
- Jimmy Church
mind so i convinced my producers and my team that we were going to change from sports to sports and
- Jimmy Church
ufos and they were like what how are we going to do that when you first walk into the hotel here
- Xavier / Jimmy Church
there's 15 000 people right it's madness every floor that you go to here you see a line of a
- Xavier
thousand people going in to see somebody speak it's everywhere you turn right um and when you
- Jimmy Church
walk in the door this electricity just comes up your legs and you feel this thing and that's the
- Jimmy Church
beauty of the conscious life expo and and there's nothing else like it in the united states maybe
- Jimmy Church
even the world it's it's that kind of place and i just enjoy it the suggestion of what is real and
- Jimmy Church
what is not and are we in some hologram holographic world yeah we are we exactly so therefore nothing
- Jimmy Church
is set you know free will is a real thing ones and zeros can be manipulated and if that is the case
- Jimmy Church
rewrite your own code you know figure things out and and you can do it and if you feel trapped or
- Jimmy Church
if you feel like you've got questions that aren't answered you can go and you can do these things
- Jimmy Church
in one show i can talk about heavy metal music one of my passions i can talk about funny comedies
- Jimmy Church
Time travel, UFOs, and Egypt, all in one show.
- Xavier
Why?
- Xavier
Those are the things that I'm passionate about.
- Xavier
What's up, folks?
- Xavier
Xavier Katana here, and you are listening to the Human Experience Podcast.
- Xavier
Today, we have the great Jimmy Church on our program.
- Xavier
We really hope you enjoy this episode.
- Xavier
fun episode to do. We did it live at the Conscious Life Expo. Jimmy has been hosting Fade to Black
- Xavier
and Coast to Coast AM for years. It's just a really engaging, enthralling conversation.
- Xavier
Please find us on Twitter at TheHumanXP where we post some of the most amazing content you will
- Xavier
ever see. Find us on Facebook with the same name at TheHumanXP. This is a phenomenal conversation.
- Xavier
Thank you so much.
- Xavier
You are listening to The Human Experience.
- Xavier
My name is Xavier Katana.
- Xavier
I am sitting with the legendary Mr. Jimmy Church.
- Xavier
Jimmy, how are you, sir?
- Xavier
How is everybody?
- Jimmy Church
How are you?
- Xavier
I am doing wonderful, man.
- Xavier
We are at the Conscious Life Expo.
- Xavier
How's that been for you?
- Xavier
Well, let me ask you this.
- Xavier
It's great for me.
- Jimmy Church
How's it been for you?
- Xavier
It's probably not as good as for you.
- Xavier
How many Conscious Life Expos have you been to?
- Xavier
This is the first Conscious Life.
- Xavier
Are you turning this interview into,
- Xavier
what are you doing to my interview?
- Xavier
Exactly.
- Xavier
This is the thing.
- Xavier
Conscious Life Expo,
- Jimmy Church
this is the fifth year that I've hosted.
- Jimmy Church
We've usually broadcast,
- Xavier
you know, fade to black
- Jimmy Church
from the main Plaza Ballroom downstairs
- Xavier
on Friday nights.
- Xavier
And this year is the first year
- Jimmy Church
that we didn't do that.
- Jimmy Church
You know, bring in a portable studio,
- Jimmy Church
the manpower, the producers,
- Jimmy Church
the thing, three-hour live broadcast,
- Jimmy Church
guest, you know, craziness. This year, what the Expo wanted to do was have me still do the
- Xavier / Jimmy Church
keynote address on Friday night, but have that be an actual panel. So this is the first year I
- Jimmy Church
haven't had to stress out bringing down a radio studio, setting up in front of a thousand people
- Jimmy Church
and doing a live radio, which is fun. It's a lot of stress. So this year, last night,
- Jimmy Church
We had 1,200 people in the ballroom, standing room only, all awake, all here to learn, all wanting knowledge.
- Jimmy Church
Egos are checked at the door.
- Jimmy Church
Audience is there to learn.
- Jimmy Church
And when they go into that room and they look around and the vibe of having 1,200 people with an awakened mind, the connections that happen there, the neurons, the electricity, right?
- Jimmy Church
It's all, everybody is one.
- Jimmy Church
And then on the stage, they've got David Wilcock.
- Jimmy Church
They've got Corey Goode.
- Jimmy Church
They've got Linda Moulton Howe, William Henry.
- Jimmy Church
And wow.
- Jimmy Church
Wow. So the vibe that was in there last night for the opening night, it sets off the tone for the rest of the conference for everybody.
- Jimmy Church
So they walk out of there, you know, with some knowledge and they've hopefully learned something, maybe made friends, you know, relationships and things that that carries on through the rest of the conference all the way to next year.
- Jimmy Church
Absolutely. Because they want to come back and cop that same vibe.
- Xavier
Sure. Sure. For me, has it been great? It's been amazing, you know.
- Jimmy Church
And so this morning, I was just down with George and his panel.
- Xavier
George Norrie.
- Jimmy Church
George Norrie.
- Jimmy Church
And George and I, we were backstage, David Wilcox missing, right?
- Jimmy Church
Now, this is what's great for the audience.
- Xavier
This is, you know, it was awesome.
- Jimmy Church
So George and I are backstage.
- Jimmy Church
We've got eight people there.
- Xavier
We're supposed to have nine.
- Jimmy Church
We're missing Wilcox.
- Jimmy Church
and George, being the professional that he is,
- Jimmy Church
him and I are just sitting to the back.
- Jimmy Church
Everybody's in front of it, and we're just talking.
- Xavier
And I had said to him, I said,
- Xavier
George, this is my fourth year going on,
- Xavier
fifth year doing Coast to Coast, right?
- Jimmy Church
And over all of these years,
- Xavier
I've never had the opportunity to say thank you.
- Xavier
So that's what I did backstage, right?
- Xavier
Okay.
- Jimmy Church
That was a moment between George and I.
- Xavier
The audience doesn't see that,
- Jimmy Church
and they deserve that moment,
- Jimmy Church
see it. So anyway, this is part of conscious life. So George gets up and says, I'm done. I'm not part
- Jimmy Church
of his thing. I'm just there, you know, to, to be with my friend. And he starts his panel. I'm
- Xavier / Jimmy Church
walking out the door to come up and meet you. So, you know, and George says, and, and by the way,
- Jimmy Church
I want to introduce everybody to somebody that sits in for me, that, that does the weekends
- Jimmy Church
that he's been with us for years. And I just want to bring to the stage, somebody that you all know,
- Jimmy Church
me church. And I stopped and I ran and I ran up to the stage and he goes, say something. And,
- Jimmy Church
and I said, George, I was leaving to get coffee. So anyway, I said to the audience that I just
- Xavier
want to share something that, that just happened backstage. I don't get a chance to do this,
- Jimmy Church
but I've been on coast, you know, now all of this time and George and I work and we work together,
- Jimmy Church
into weeks turned into years and I never had the opportunity to say thank you and I just did that
- Jimmy Church
backstage and I want all of you to know that that's what's going on back there and and I want
- Jimmy Church / Xavier
to do it now up here George thank you because and the audience now gets that vibe right they
- Jimmy Church
they understand that this is a family this is not the celebrity or coast to coast or things
- Jimmy Church
into something that it
- Jimmy Church
is not. We have a genuine relationship with the audience. Am I making sense? And they need to feel that. So they walk out of there with a personal thing that they can now take that with them forever and understand that. So is the conference going great? It's going great for everybody. And that's what I enjoy most. I really do.
- Jimmy Church
When you first walk into the hotel here, there's 15,000 people, right?
- Xavier
It's madness.
- Jimmy Church
Every floor that you go to here, you see a line of 1,000 people going in to see somebody speak.
- Xavier
It's everywhere you turn, right?
- Jimmy Church
And when you walk in the door, this electricity just comes up your legs, and you feel this thing, and that's the beauty of the Conscious Life Expo.
- Jimmy Church
And there's nothing else like it in the United States, maybe even the world.
- Jimmy Church
It's that kind of place, and I just enjoy it.
- Jimmy Church
So is it going great? How's it going for you?
- Xavier
Jimmy, it's going well, but I want to get into, you know, I've listened to your show a few times.
- Xavier
I know that you've at least heard of me, but I don't think you've listened to my show yet.
- Xavier
It's a little bit different. I mean, we have different topics.
- Xavier
But I want to know a little bit about what goes on behind the scenes.
- Xavier
Because for most people, I think what they see is this polished version of this collaborative effort between you and your staff.
- Xavier
And do it every single night.
- Xavier
And your Fadernauts and the people who love you,
- Xavier
I mean, there's so many of them.
- Xavier
It's an army of them.
- Xavier
Right.
- Xavier
So how long have you been doing this?
- Jimmy Church
Fade to black, five, going on six years.
- Xavier
And then you host Coast to Coast on the weekends.
- Xavier
Yep.
- Xavier
And you mentioned the History Channel.
- Xavier
Yep.
- Xavier
Three shows now, three series on history.
- Xavier
I know, right?
- Jimmy Church
It sounds crazy, doesn't it?
- Xavier
You're doing so much for you.
- Xavier
been a hurdle for you what has been something that you struggle have struggled with if anything
- Jimmy Church
well um okay the growth of the show i don't have to struggle with because it grows on its own that's
- Jimmy Church
organic the fader knots thank you for mentioning that because you're awake and you pay attention
- Xavier / Jimmy Church
the fader knots named themselves okay we didn't do that the things that have happened on the
- Jimmy Church
internet and everything. We've never advertised. We've never done any marketing. So I've never
- Jimmy Church
stressed with that. Everything is word of mouth. That's it. The fader knots speak about the show
- Jimmy Church
and the word on the streets. And yeah, is it the biggest show out there? It is. It wasn't at one
- Jimmy Church
time. It's that it has grown organically. So I don't stress over that. That's a beautiful thing.
- Jimmy Church
My stress comes from the proper research.
- Jimmy Church
So I have spent my entire life reading, watching, searching.
- Jimmy Church
That's my thing.
- Xavier
I do nothing but research.
- Jimmy Church
Now, with my schedule, with doing shows every single day of the week, whether it's TV or radio, how is that possible?
- Jimmy Church
I still have to do things like sleep.
- Jimmy Church
Yeah, of course.
- Xavier
Okay?
- Jimmy Church
and a life and everything else.
- Jimmy Church
So how do you make time for all of that?
- Xavier
It's tough.
- Xavier
And then I need to satisfy the research.
- Jimmy Church
If I have five guests in a week or six,
- Xavier
so I'm working six days at six guests,
- Xavier
that's six different topics.
- Xavier
That's six different books to read from these
- Jimmy Church
or six different documentaries to watch
- Jimmy Church
and six different topics to go in depth with
- Xavier
because I, and this is where you need to learn,
- Jimmy Church
right here. For everybody that's listening to me, I do not have questions. There are no questions.
- Jimmy Church
Whether it's on coast, whether it's TV, fade to black, there are no questions. I have nothing
- Jimmy Church
there in front of me because I know my guests. I know what's going on. I've already researched
- Jimmy Church
the topic probably for decades before, and then we're specifically at a guest. And by the time
- Jimmy Church
I get to that guest, I have fully done my work. The audience knows that. And that's why the
- Jimmy Church
audience has grown. They know that I'm never phoning it in. I'm never reading down a list
- Jimmy Church
of 20 questions that is supplied from the guests. The questions are organic and they feed off of
- Jimmy Church
the conversation as it goes through. And it's like the audience is engaging in that conversation
- Jimmy Church
with me sitting right there because they can, when you and I are sitting here talking,
- Xavier
the conversation is going to go where it's going to go. I don't pick out a piece of paper
- Xavier
and sit here and have a conversation with you and read questions off of that. That's not a
- Jimmy Church
conversation, right? Okay. The audience knows that. And that's where the fanatical thing comes
- Jimmy Church
from that you're talking about. They know. So my hope and my goal from always from the beginning
- Jimmy Church
was, and if there is stress involved in doing what I do,
- Jimmy Church
is that you need to be yourself.
- Xavier
I, the audience knows,
- Jimmy Church
they've been listening to me now do,
- Jimmy Church
you know, a thousand interviews,
- Jimmy Church
two thousand interviews.
- Jimmy Church
Of course.
- Jimmy Church
They know my personality.
- Xavier
So they know who I am.
- Jimmy Church
I'm not faking anything.
- Xavier
You don't bullshit.
- Xavier
There is nothing, none of that is there.
- Jimmy Church
I am in one show,
- Xavier
I can talk about heavy metal music,
- Jimmy Church
one of my passions.
- Jimmy Church
I can talk about funny comedies, comedians, time travel, UFOs, and Egypt.
- Xavier
All in one show.
- Jimmy Church
Why?
- Jimmy Church
Those are the things that I'm passionate about.
- Jimmy Church
So when I speak about these things, I'm speaking about the stuff that I love.
- Xavier
And then what results from that is my audience is interested in the same exact things.
- Xavier
Like, man, wow.
- Xavier
I like Pantera.
- Jimmy Church
And I like UFOs.
- Xavier
This guy is like me, right?
- Xavier
Do you understand what I'm saying?
- Jimmy Church
And so once you let loose of that freedom and let that hang out there, now I'm able to not worry about 20 questions.
- Jimmy Church
I know my guest.
- Xavier
I know the topics.
- Jimmy Church
This is what I'm passionate about.
- Jimmy Church
We got three hours of live radio in front of us.
- Jimmy Church
Let's rock and roll and have a conversation.
- Xavier
If there's a secret, that's it.
- Xavier
No, I mean, I'm not looking for the secret.
- Jimmy Church
But I'm not suggesting that.
- Jimmy Church
But what I'm saying is when you try to analyze, as I have, how did we get here?
- Jimmy Church
And with anybody that is passionate about what they do and they find their bliss and they're able to do amazing paintings or play amazing guitar or act in films or whatever it is, or write code and video, whatever it is, they found their bliss.
- Jimmy Church
and you will say to them, well, how'd you do it?
- Xavier
Well, man, the secret is I'm happy.
- Jimmy Church
I'm just doing what I want to do.
- Jimmy Church
And so the stress comes from being passionate about something.
- Xavier
Yeah, I respect that about you.
- Xavier
And I think as long as I've known about the Fade or Nots and Fade to Black,
- Xavier
I have respected the show and you for what you do.
- Xavier
It's simply that.
- Xavier
And if you ask me the same question, there's no way I could do six nights a week of guests.
- Xavier
I mean, there are other aspects of things that we're running and we're pushing forward.
- Xavier
You know, I want to know, before you started doing Coast to Coast, did you always feel you had a sort of talent for radio?
- Xavier
I mean, you have a very radio voice.
- Xavier
And at what point did you move into doing Coast to Coast on the weekends?
- Jimmy Church
Well, where do you live?
- Xavier
I live in San Diego, California.
- Xavier
You live in San Diego.
- Jimmy Church
So, and down in San Diego, Extra Sports 690, big radio station.
- Jimmy Church
And back in the early 90s, I would, when I traveled to San Diego once a week, twice a week, I would listen to Extra Sports.
- Xavier
And it was a great radio station.
- Jimmy Church
And back then, in the early 90s, when I was doing this, I would listen and I knew I was going to do that.
- Jimmy Church
25 years ago.
- Jimmy Church
So, at that time, Coast to Coast just started.
- Jimmy Church
And then I found out, and this is crazy,
- Jimmy Church
the studio was across the street from my condo.
- Xavier
Wow.
- Xavier
Across the street in Sherman Oaks,
- Jimmy Church
where I broadcast now, same studio,
- Jimmy Church
and I can look out the windows of Coast to Coast
- Jimmy Church
and look at my bedroom window.
- Jimmy Church
Now, how trippy is that?
- Xavier
That's an interesting synchronicity.
- Xavier
That's a pretty trippy, right?
- Xavier
Yeah, sure.
- Jimmy Church
And my phone number in my condo was one digit off from the Coast to Coast number.
- Jimmy Church
And I would listen to Art Bell.
- Jimmy Church
Okay, call in 818-501-399.
- Jimmy Church
I was like, well, I need to call in just to go, dude, look at my phone number.
- Jimmy Church
It's one digit off.
- Jimmy Church
I'm across the street.
- Jimmy Church
And I thought, well, that's kind of creepy.
- Jimmy Church
So maybe we're not going to do that.
- Jimmy Church
But I would listen to Coast and knew that I wanted to manifest my own reality.
- Jimmy Church
And that's always the way things happen.
- Xavier
Okay?
- Xavier
That's it.
- Jimmy Church
You want to change your reality?
- Jimmy Church
Think about what you want to do.
- Xavier
Think about it.
- Jimmy Church
Think about it every single day.
- Xavier
Practice.
- Xavier
Rehearse in your mind.
- Jimmy Church
Maybe it's painting.
- Xavier
Maybe it's car mechanic.
- Xavier
Whatever it is.
- Jimmy Church
But if you don't like what you're doing now, and you need to do that, you manifest your own reality.
- Jimmy Church
Now, I've told this story many times about this very subject, about how this happened.
- Jimmy Church
So, look, this voice I've had since
- Jimmy Church
I was two, so I didn't have to worry about that.
- Jimmy Church
I knew that I had this irritating thing that bothered people.
- Jimmy Church
It's loud and things.
- Xavier
So I knew I had that.
- Jimmy Church
But I needed to get the professional side of it set up.
- Jimmy Church
So I went back to school.
- Jimmy Church
Went to school for broadcast.
- Xavier
Went to school for journalism.
- Jimmy Church
I got through that.
- Xavier
Got into sportscasting and did that.
- Jimmy Church
And then at one point I was like, I'm done with sports.
- Jimmy Church
just want to get this ufo thing combined so i convinced my producers and my team that we were
- Jimmy Church
going to change from sports to sports and ufos and they were like what how are we going to do that
- Jimmy Church
and so we changed the name of the show the sports show was called the revolution
- Jimmy Church
and and that was a lot of fun and we changed the name we did all the production uh and the show
- Xavier
was called Jimmy Church Against the World.
- Jimmy Church
And it was my way of getting what I was passionate about,
- Jimmy Church
conspiracy, enlightenment, awakeness, consciousness,
- Jimmy Church
UFOs, lost history, Egypt.
- Jimmy Church
How do I get all of this and keep the team interested?
- Xavier
Okay, so we're still doing sports,
- Xavier
but we're going to do a little bit of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
- Xavier
What?
- Xavier
How are we going to do that?
- Jimmy Church
So I convinced them somehow that I had a plan.
- Jimmy Church
we change the show we get everything ready we cut all the spots we do all the voiceover stuff i bring
- Jimmy Church
in the team we do we do this for a couple of weeks and we're all geared we're now gonna launch
- Jimmy Church
jimmy church against the world and at that point art bell quit when he quit yeah the opportunity
- Jimmy Church
came up for me to go to his network on dark matter radio and they literally said to me this was like
- Jimmy Church
on a Sunday night.
- Xavier
They were like, okay,
- Jimmy Church
can you be ready to go live on Thursday?
- Xavier
I said, sure.
- Xavier
Yeah, we can do that.
- Jimmy Church
And my wife comes in
- Jimmy Church
and she says, that's fine,
- Xavier
but we're not going to call it
- Xavier
Jimmy Church Against the World.
- Xavier
I said, what do you mean?
- Xavier
She goes, that pretty much sucks.
- Xavier
And I said, really?
- Xavier
We just did all this production
- Xavier
and we're ready to go.
- Jimmy Church
She goes, no, we're going to call it
- Jimmy Church
black what and that was sunday night bringing all the voiceover guys all the production all the
- Jimmy Church
artists we come up with new logos get everything done boom boom and then we went on the air uh this
- Jimmy Church
is five six years ago with fade to black and and that's how it all happened it was just manifesting
- Jimmy Church
your own reality and then uh so coast to coast so this is what happened george nori i did know
- Xavier
is listening to Fade to Black.
- Jimmy Church
And he's listening to Fade to Black for his own reasons.
- Jimmy Church
But I'm on Art Bell's network.
- Jimmy Church
That's certainly, you know, he's,
- Jimmy Church
George is interested in what's going on out there
- Jimmy Church
and the other radio host, I'm sure.
- Jimmy Church
And he starts listening to Fade to Black.
- Jimmy Church
And one night, I'm in the studio,
- Jimmy Church
doing the broadcast,
- Xavier
and I have Jason Martell on from Ancient Aliens.
- Xavier
Okay.
- Xavier
Jason and I are friends,
- Jimmy Church
and we're doing our thing.
- Jimmy Church
Earlier that evening, Jason and I decided not to take phone calls,
- Jimmy Church
that we were just going to have this fun, organic bro conversation.
- Xavier
Okay.
- Jimmy Church
And about an hour in to the broadcast, about 8 o'clock,
- Jimmy Church
this 818 number that I was just talking about is coming in,
- Jimmy Church
and I'm hanging up on it, keeps calling back, hang up, hang up.
- Xavier
And after about 10 of these, I go, Jason, I've got somebody calling in.
- Jimmy Church
not to have calls, but I don't know what's going on. You want to take this call? He goes, yeah.
- Jimmy Church
I just punched it. Oh, you're live on Faded Block. Who's calling? Jimmy, this is George Norrie.
- Jimmy Church
And I'm like, shut up. Who is this? And Jason goes, no, man, that's George. I know his voice.
- Jimmy Church
And George, hey, Jason, how's it going? I said, really, Jimmy, I'm a fan. I go live with Coast
- Jimmy Church
to Coast in an hour, but I'm listening to you. I was like, what? And so we have this thing and I
- Jimmy Church
and Twitter and everybody's just like just blowing up right right right and I thought how weird is
- Jimmy Church
that and uh a couple of uh weeks later we were at contact in the desert George is there and I'm
- Xavier
there and and we're doing our thing and and he came up and and offered me the gig and said uh
- Jimmy Church
would you like to come over and fill in for me on coast and I said yeah I guess we could talk about
- Xavier
Let me check my schedule, man.
- Xavier
I might be busy.
- Jimmy Church
And that's how it happened.
- Jimmy Church
And there's no rhyme or reason for it.
- Jimmy Church
Again, it comes to manifesting your own reality and thinking about things.
- Jimmy Church
The honor of this, the privilege, the honor is there's only one Coast to Coast.
- Jimmy Church
There's only one George Norrie.
- Jimmy Church
There's only four Fridays every month.
- Xavier / Jimmy Church
four Saturdays. That's it. That's it. And who fills in for George on Friday nights on planet
- Jimmy Church / Xavier
earth? And that's one guy, right? How, what an honor, right? What an honor. And so I, I will
- Jimmy Church
never let go of that. It is really the truth. It's a privilege. It's cool. And, uh, that and
- Jimmy Church
fade to black which airs before coast to coast all done by design you know i didn't want to
- Jimmy Church
overlap the coast audience and i didn't want to offend coast to coast yeah so uh all of this was
- Jimmy Church
uh planned and thought through and it and it and it works and it happened and i'm still there and
- Xavier
we're on the air and and life is good and so that that's it it's about when it comes to consciousness
- Jimmy Church
when it comes to the suggestion of what is real and what is not,
- Jimmy Church
and are we in some hologram, holographic world?
- Xavier
Yeah, we are.
- Xavier
Exactly.
- Jimmy Church
So, therefore, nothing is set.
- Jimmy Church
You know, free will is a real thing.
- Jimmy Church
Ones and zeros can be manipulated.
- Xavier
And if that is the case, rewrite your own code.
- Xavier
You know, figure things out.
- Xavier
And you can do it.
- Jimmy Church
And if you feel trapped or if you feel like you've got questions that aren't answered, you can go and you can do these things.
- Xavier
You can.
- Xavier
You know, it takes a little work.
- Xavier
You got to sweat.
- Xavier
You got to work.
- Xavier
Yeah.
- Jimmy Church
You know, you got to be present.
- Xavier
You have to be willing to work hard.
- Jimmy Church
Put your foot on the gas pedal.
- Xavier
Yeah, you have to.
- Xavier
And that's it.
- Xavier
That's it.
- Jimmy Church
And so that's how it all happened.
- Jimmy Church
And I'm walking around this conference and I'm sure you've seen the same thing.
- Jimmy Church
And, you know, there's probably a thousand fade to black shirts, right?
- Jimmy Church
At this conference.
- Xavier
You're walking around, you know, you're looking at 15,000 people and you walk around and you're like, that guy's got my picture on his chest.
- Xavier
And then just look for a second, right?
- Xavier
And you look around and you think, how did we get here?
- Xavier
And isn't it wonderful?
- Jimmy Church
And that they are so happy and that they are here.
- Jimmy Church
and this family and this thing.
- Xavier
And it's just, what a crazy ride.
- Jimmy Church
It's so much fun.
- Jimmy Church
And that's it.
- Jimmy Church
That's my life.
- Xavier
I love the story.
- Xavier
I love the logistics.
- Xavier
I love that you are so incredible.
- Xavier
I don't think that you could pull off what you're doing
- Xavier
without being utterly passionate and devoted
- Xavier
and completely committed.
- Xavier
Because, I mean, this is challenging.
- Xavier
I mean, just a weekly show for me and my staff is challenging.
- Xavier
So doing it every night live is just a different ballgame.
- Xavier
You're playing, you know, minor leagues versus major leagues.
- Xavier
So, you know, I wanted to ask you, sometimes I listen to your show and, you know, it's all about these different topics.
- Xavier
But I've never really heard you, that story that you talked about, you know, how you got the gig at Coast to Coast.
- Jimmy Church
That story happened live on the air.
- Jimmy Church
Yeah, there you go.
- Jimmy Church
You know what I mean?
- Jimmy Church
So I never really had to tell it.
- Xavier
The audience got to hear it.
- Jimmy Church
They heard George call in about a month after when George called in, and he made me that offer, which was out in the desert.
- Jimmy Church
Like two weeks after that, he called in, and I was like, man, really?
- Jimmy Church
You know, okay.
- Jimmy Church
And I was thinking to myself, what is the audience thinking right now that is really going on?
- Xavier
And George calls in, and he says, Jimmy, I don't know if you told anybody, which I hadn't.
- Jimmy Church
I didn't go on the air and go, George offered me this coast-to-coast.
- Jimmy Church
at that point it was my agent that got involved and i'm just you know if this happens it happens
- Jimmy Church
if it doesn't it doesn't but you don't talk about it publicly so what does george do calls in so
- Jimmy Church
church what's your answer i offered you the host gig haven't heard back man i'm like you want to
- HXP Announcer
do this live on the air yeah i do you know and so this played out on the air yeah how cool is that
- Xavier
that's amazing yeah yeah yeah yeah okay so anyway so okay so yeah i i let you do that i let you take
- Xavier
But, Jimmy, I want to know, we all have, you know, doing this radio thing, we all have those moments where there's a guest that just something's not vibing right.
- Xavier
You know, and you don't have to drop names.
- Xavier
I wouldn't ask you to drop names.
- Xavier
I just want you to give a story of an experience that you had where it just wasn't working out.
- Xavier
And you're trying everything you can to get this guest back on track.
- Xavier
And for some reason, the conversation's falling flat.
- Xavier
The fadernauts are going nuts.
- Xavier
They're like,
- Xavier
Jimmy, what's going on? Why is this interview just going flat? And you're thinking the same thing.
- Xavier
It's never happened.
- Xavier
I had a feeling you might say that.
- Jimmy Church
It's never happened. The only – probably there's one fade to black that went a little bit sideways, but it turned out to be okay once.
- Jimmy Church
And so it's not really even worth mentioning.
- Jimmy Church
Then there was one time on Coast, one guest, I'm not going to mention his name.
- Jimmy Church
He has not been back on Coast to Coast since, or Fade to Black, that tried to take things
- Jimmy Church
into a very loud, political, Obama-bashing, I think it was Obama.
- Jimmy Church
I can't even remember.
- Jimmy Church
It might have been Hillary.
- Jimmy Church
It might have been during the elections or the campaign a couple of years ago.
- Xavier
Right.
- Jimmy Church
And that was very regrettable.
- Jimmy Church
I almost hung up on the guests and said, oh, he's had phone problems.
- Jimmy Church
We'll get back to him.
- Jimmy Church
Let's open up the phone lines.
- Jimmy Church
That happened once, but no.
- Jimmy Church
So the answer is no.
- Jimmy Church
Wow.
- Xavier
So you have to, first off, I know my guests.
- Xavier
We're booking.
- Jimmy Church
The guests are passionate.
- Xavier
They want to be on.
- Jimmy Church
We are lucky that we have enough credibility out there that we can offer only, we have the opportunity to offer the best and the brightest.
- Xavier
That's it.
- Jimmy Church
So usually what we bring forward is something that is pretty dynamic, whatever it is.
- Xavier
But, now this is the catch, and it's pretty amazing.
- Xavier
We have had a lot of first-time guests on the show.
- Jimmy Church
guest on the show it was their first radio appearance see you're segueing for me now
- Xavier
right and that was that was that was my next question for you is is you know research okay
- Xavier
yeah the research aspect of it is researching guests oh okay yeah that's researching guests
- Jimmy Church
trying to find the next gem the next thing why i i had to go back to my own radio experience
- Jimmy Church
So when I would listen to, it doesn't matter if I was listening to Coast to Coast or if I was listening to sports radio or political or whatever I was listening.
- Xavier
I want to listen to somebody I haven't heard from before.
- Jimmy Church
You know, I'll still listen if it's Will Smith for the 50th time.
- Jimmy Church
But to have somebody that I've never heard before, that really catches my attention.
- Jimmy Church
So that's what I want to do with the audience.
- Xavier
I want to find somebody that the audience has never heard from before.
- Jimmy Church
Why?
- Jimmy Church
they get to share in my experience of that conversation because this is the first conversation
- Jimmy Church
I've had with this guest. This is the first time this guest is presenting this information.
- Jimmy Church
Everything is fresh and new and they get to have that experience. That's a tough road. It's a tough
- Jimmy Church
road to find and constantly look and look and look and look and look. I can only have Linda
- Jimmy Church
Moulton Howell on this show so much. I would love to have her five days a week, but you can't do
- Jimmy Church
Or Richard Dolan.
- Jimmy Church
Or Stephen Greer.
- Jimmy Church
Or David Wilcock.
- Jimmy Church
Or Corey Goode.
- Jimmy Church
Or William Henry.
- Jimmy Church
On and on and on and on.
- Jimmy Church
These people that...
- Xavier
John Anthony West, who just passed away a few days ago.
- Jimmy Church
I had these people on.
- Jimmy Church
Robert Shock.
- Jimmy Church
I would love to have them on all the time.
- Jimmy Church
I can't.
- Jimmy Church
And also, as much as that is really cool, and the audience enjoys that, and they do.
- Jimmy Church
They do.
- Jimmy Church
I think they get much more enjoyment from somebody that they've never heard from before.
- Jimmy Church
Some fresh idea, some fresh take on the near-death experience, on consciousness, on parallel worlds, on time travel, on UFOs, on Egypt.
- Xavier
So, okay, I'm going to spin this around just a little bit just because I love hearing this.
- Xavier
I love hearing just the backstory and the way your mind is thinking as you're conducting these shows.
- Xavier
I'm going to invoice you later, though, for this.
- Xavier
what's gonna happen is i want to ask you about do you remember this lady named nancy leader
- Xavier
she's still around l-e-i-d-e-r yeah yeah yeah okay so zeta zeta zeta talk uh zeta talk yes zeta talk
- Xavier
do you remember she was i don't remember what year it was it was like 2006 2004 something like that
- Xavier
it's been a while and she faded away it's no pun intended but i was wondering for a person like her
- Xavier
She's pitching this end of the world scenario saying, you know, this planet X is coming and then nothing happens.
- Xavier
Do you filter out who you bring on in regards to that or do you allow your audience to do that themselves?
- Jimmy Church
No, I don't do anything like that on the show.
- Jimmy Church
It's a very, very dangerous zone to get into.
- Jimmy Church
and the reason why I used to listen to her stuff
- Jimmy Church
and others like her.
- Jimmy Church
But if you are going to predict something like that,
- Jimmy Church
it better happen.
- Xavier
It had better happen.
- Jimmy Church
And if it doesn't, Marshall Masters and so forth,
- Xavier
if it does not happen, the hopes...
- Xavier
That's your reputation is gone.
- Jimmy Church
You're messing with people's emotions.
- Jimmy Church
Yeah.
- Jimmy Church
And also there's a certain amount of fear mongering going into this.
- Jimmy Church
I don't want to play into that.
- Jimmy Church
And also, as a host and my audience, I do my research.
- Jimmy Church
And if you go and you look at these timelines with the Sumerian text
- Jimmy Church
and certainly the way that Sitchin presented the information,
- Jimmy Church
Nibiru, on its best hope, is still 1,500 years out.
- Jimmy Church
Sure.
- Xavier
Okay?
- Xavier
It's not next week.
- Xavier
It's not next month.
- Jimmy Church
not 2012 yeah you know it's not it's not it's not any of these dates it's 1500 years away if we go
- Jimmy Church
back and look this is why i i cannot bring on somebody to to talk about planet x i i just won't
- Jimmy Church
do it unless they tell me it's 2000 years away then we have a conversation come on let's talk
- Jimmy Church
about it because if we look at all of the historical timelines where significant things
- Jimmy Church
at these 3,600-year cycles.
- Xavier
You can find them.
- Jimmy Church
You can look at the year zero with the Star of Bethlehem.
- Jimmy Church
Was that Nibiru, right?
- Xavier
It was 2,000 years ago.
- Jimmy Church
So that puts right there, that puts Nibiru 1,600 years out.
- Jimmy Church
And then you can back up and look at certain celestial events.
- Jimmy Church
You can look at the Roman calendar, the Greek calendar,
- Jimmy Church
Egyptian calendar, Chinese,
- Xavier
and look at these celestial events and significant things.
- Jimmy Church
these 3,600-year loops.
- Jimmy Church
And it looks kind of interesting, right?
- Jimmy Church
But they stop at a certain point,
- Jimmy Church
which puts Nibiru 1,600, 1,500 years out,
- Jimmy Church
no matter what.
- Xavier
So my research says that somebody
- Jimmy Church
that wants to present Nibiru
- Jimmy Church
as entering our solar system right now
- Jimmy Church
is trying to sell books.
- Xavier
And I'm not into that.
- Jimmy Church
There are too many,
- Jimmy Church
with it, every single asteroid, just about every single meteor, every single near earth orbit,
- Jimmy Church
everything that has been found pretty small, smaller than a Nibiru has been found by an
- Jimmy Church
amateur astronomer in his backyard with his own telescope. Right. They would have seen Nibiru
- Jimmy Church
for sure. A long time ago, a hundred percent. And it would be over with. Yeah. So my own research
- Jimmy Church
says I'm not going there. So that's it. I won't do it on the show. I will not. I will not. I'm
- Jimmy Church
not going to be a false prophet. I'm not going to be part of it. I'm not. I'm not. I'm not. And
- Jimmy Church
you know, it comes down to this world that we're in. Credibility and integrity should be paramount.
- Jimmy Church
And so for me, that's it. And that's where I... I love that, man. I love authenticity. I love that
- Xavier
You are just so committed. And I think it's a responsibility. You feel a connection to your
- Xavier
audience and people look up to you. They respect your judgment and you're bringing this person on.
- Xavier
So I can see why the research of that, you know, the guests that you bring on would be so important
- Xavier
and why doing that five, six days a week is just absolute madness. Right. Is there a topic that,
- Xavier
I mean, I know there's a bunch of topics that you really like. Is there a favorite of yours
- Xavier
genre that you are drawn to more well aside from ufos and the alien question my passion
- Xavier / Jimmy Church
is is egypt and lost history which is one of the same thing so that's going back to of course
- Jimmy Church
gobekli tepi which you know is is something that i'm very very passionate about and i think there's
- Jimmy Church
a connection there but yeah it's egypt and when you go back uh before the pharaohs and you go
- Jimmy Church
before that you go before mene and you go before narmer and you go to the gods of egypt and the
- Jimmy Church
demigods um and what was going on there that is oh it's it's just the most fascinating thing out
- Jimmy Church
there absolutely you know down you know then there's time travel and then there's you know
- Jimmy Church
and quantum theory and the physics of that
- Jimmy Church
and parallel worlds and multi-world theory, multiverse.
- Jimmy Church
Yeah,
- Xavier
very, very passionate.
- Xavier
Yeah, yeah. And secretly, sort of, I just love hearing about that. And you probably had Richard Hoagland on your show a couple times.
- Xavier
Once.
- Xavier
Once. I don't know how you feel about him. I don't know why, but I listen to his show every week.
- Xavier
He's still on the air?
- Xavier
he has his own little show on blog talk radio now and i feel bad for the guy because he has
- Xavier
probably every technical issue ever ever conceived of that you could ever ever think of he has that
- Xavier
issue and i've tried to help him i've tried to send him a couple facebook messages and stuff
- Xavier
like that and it's it says that he read them and i'm just like this is what you need to do to fix
- Xavier
your thing man and and it just doesn't get fixed so but for some reason his ability to talk about
- Xavier
These things that we're seeing in our solar system, this architecture of these pre-civilization, 10,000, 20,000 years, who knows how old these civilizations are, all scattered through the solar system.
- Xavier
It fascinates me.
- Xavier
And, I mean, we've had Graham Hancock on.
- Xavier
Have you had Graham?
- Xavier
Have you talked to Graham?
- Xavier
Many, many, many times.
- Xavier
He's one of my favorite people to listen to because he connects so many of the different veins of subjects that I'm really into.
- Xavier
Our psychedelics, in regard to healing trauma, ayahuasca.
- Xavier
Is this something that you have any interest in whatsoever?
- Jimmy Church
I did it this morning.
- HXP Announcer
Shut up.
- Xavier
No, you didn't.
- Xavier
You did ayahuasca this morning.
- Xavier
Yes.
- Xavier / Jimmy Church
I've got some 5-MeO DMT right now.
- Xavier
So I'm, ladies and gentlemen, I'm looking at,
- Xavier
I'm looking at the center of Jimmy's forehead.
- Xavier
And I don't think he's lying.
- Xavier
I really don't.
- Xavier
I just, I don't, I don't know.
- Xavier
I don't know.
- Xavier
But Jimmy, really, I mean, really be honest here, man.
- Xavier
Cause, cause, you know.
- Jimmy Church
I'll tell you something really funny.
- Jimmy Church
Let me, let me, let me, let me do this.
- Xavier
here and then we'll
- Xavier
end on this story. I'm going to tell a little story.
- Xavier
So
- Xavier
about
- Xavier
six months ago,
- Jimmy Church
I'm at a private
- Jimmy Church
party
- Jimmy Church
on the top
- Jimmy Church
of a mountain in
- Jimmy Church
Malibu. So
- Jimmy Church
use your imagination.
- Xavier
Okay?
- Xavier
Pretty
- Xavier
amazing.
- Xavier
And the people there and who the
- Jimmy Church
are. Okay, we're talking about
- Jimmy Church
top shelf of society.
- Xavier
And so we're up there.
- Xavier
And
- Jimmy Church
this person comes up,
- Jimmy Church
I'm not going to say male, female,
- Xavier
who, what, but says,
- Jimmy Church
I'm a shaman
- Xavier
and
- Xavier
we are going to have
- Xavier
a private gathering,
- Xavier
invitation only, in two weeks
- Xavier
at our compound.
- Xavier
We would like to invite you.
- Xavier
Okay.
- Xavier
We'll be there.
- Xavier / Jimmy Church
So we drive back two weeks later to the same neighborhood, same general area,
- Xavier
and we enter the compound.
- Jimmy Church
We're driving up and around a two-mile driveway,
- Jimmy Church
and we wind around to this beautiful home,
- Jimmy Church
a couple of Ferraris, a couple of Aston Martins, a couple of Bentleys,
- Jimmy Church
couple of this, couple of that, couple of that.
- Jimmy Church
And, you know, I pull in my 72 Datsun B210 pickup truck.
- Xavier
No, I'm kidding.
- Jimmy Church
But anyway, so we pull in.
- Xavier
And it is all that.
- Xavier
And what is going on here?
- Jimmy Church
It's a room, not one, but it's a room full of shamans, a room.
- Jimmy Church
very famous director and some other you know and i'm looking around i'm like wow
- Jimmy Church
and things were going on there were i you know without going into details
- Jimmy Church
there were certain ancient medicines that were being talked about and distributed so i'm i'm
- Jimmy Church / Xavier
watching this and somebody comes up to me and does this okay this is from you know this is made by
- Jimmy Church
old women in you know mountains in tibet at a monastery and goes boop a drop on my head
- Xavier
on my pineal gland.
- Jimmy Church
And this thing,
- Jimmy Church
so this drop
- Jimmy Church
and this smell,
- Jimmy Church
this weird thing,
- Xavier
and I could feel the heat and the oil
- Jimmy Church
and I could feel it like going down my scalp.
- Jimmy Church
Okay.
- Jimmy Church
All right.
- Jimmy Church
And I didn't even ask any questions.
- Jimmy Church
I just, you know,
- Jimmy Church
let's let this happen.
- Jimmy Church
Okay.
- Jimmy Church
All right.
- Xavier
What?
- Xavier
So about a half hour later,
- Jimmy Church
we're standing in the man.
- Xavier
I don't care.
- Jimmy Church
Here we go.
- Jimmy Church
We're standing in this circle in the dining room.
- Jimmy Church
And this director is talking about this project and the,
- Jimmy Church
and the gathering of everybody and,
- Jimmy Church
and the blessing of the,
- Jimmy Church
you know,
- Xavier
the kombucha and whatever.
- Jimmy Church
And I'm standing there and suddenly his mouth,
- Xavier
which is,
- Jimmy Church
And I can see him talking, but I just lose him.
- Jimmy Church
And I'm looking around the room, and I'm like,
- Xavier
why isn't anybody looking at these amazing-ass colors?
- Xavier
This place is gray.
- Jimmy Church
And I'm looking around, and everybody, and I'm like, wow.
- HXP Announcer
What was he saying?
- Jimmy Church
And then I thought to myself, that drop.
- Xavier
It was that drop that went on my head, not on my tongue, not in my vein.
- Xavier
I didn't smoke it.
- Xavier
I didn't snort it.
- Jimmy Church
I didn't eye drop.
- Xavier
It went, right?
- Xavier
What is going on?
- Jimmy Church
And it allowed me at that moment to realize that everybody here got the drop.
- Xavier
I know that they did now.
- Xavier
And this is what, it was fantastic.
- Xavier
It was fantastic.
- Xavier
It was unbelievable.
- Jimmy Church
And we drove away that night.
- Jimmy Church
My wife and I were driving out.
- Jimmy Church
She got the drop too.
- Xavier
And we just thought, what?
- Xavier
That was nuts.
- Xavier
The group, the people.
- Jimmy Church
I can't really, if I told you some of these personalities that were there,
- Jimmy Church
I'm not talking about movie stars.
- Jimmy Church
That was going on too.
- Jimmy Church
But different segments of society that are actually open to this.
- Jimmy Church
You know, there are politicians right now in Washington, D.C. that know what a 5-MEO is, man.
- Xavier
I'm serious.
- Xavier
Because I saw it.
- Xavier
And I was flipping out, man.
- Xavier
It was a great experience.
- Jimmy Church
So with that, man, wonderful.
- Jimmy Church
