Obsession After Dark

A low-budget thriller shouldn’t be able to rattle you like this, but Obsession does. We go spoiler-free on what made it hit so hard, why it felt scarier than a lot of bigger “horror” releases, and how a movie can build fear without leaning on CGI or cheap jump scares. If you’re searching for a real-world Obsession movie review, an indie horror thriller recommendation, or just something worth leaving the house for, we get into exactly why it stuck with us after the credits.

From there, we zoom out into movie culture: the A24 trust factor, Blumhouse-level momentum, and why theaters are getting packed again. We talk big formats like IMAX and 70mm, what’s being marketed the hardest, and how nostalgia releases pull different generations into the same room. Then we pivot into something bigger than film: attention. Cursive disappearing, handwritten notes becoming rare, and the weird reality that people can record an entire concert on their phone and never watch it again.

We also get honest about tech and money, from AI-generated podcast elements to subscription fatigue with YouTube Premium, Netflix, and all the bundles. The thread that ties it together is focus and presence: multitasking is mostly a myth, social media rewards performative living, and comment sections make people brave in the worst way. If you’ve felt distracted, overstimulated, or tired of the online noise, this conversation lands with practical truth and a lot of laughs.

Subscribe for more unfiltered takes, share this with a friend who needs a new thriller to watch, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What’s one habit you want to break: doomscrolling, recording everything, or paying for subscriptions you don’t use?

SPEAKER_05 6:41

Yeah, that's what you said. I know that it's an indie film, though. So yeah, the budget couldn't have been that high.

SPEAKER_03 6:50

Because I'm trying to think, did you recognize like anybody else in it? That's what I didn't recognize anybody.

Dude, it's it's scary. Without any of that uh like super over-the-top special effects that you come to expect from a horror movie. Like there is there's really no CGI in it for the most part. It's a good movie. Okay, it's a scary movie.

SPEAKER_05 8:26

And then Blumhouse distributed it. Or not distributed it, but uh produced it. So wait, so wait, who is A24? I thought that's the A24 is its own studio, I think. Like it's a it's a smaller studio, but they've put out a lot of good movies in the last 10 years.

SPEAKER_03 12:14

And and like Joe, because with Batman, it'd always kind of be either Joker or a penguin. Yeah, like his and Rittler. Yeah, like the original. Yeah, yeah. No, that's a that's a good question.

SPEAKER_05 12:26

Like with Superman, not this one. Lex Luther. Is Lex Luther really that interesting though? You know what I mean? Yeah. I mean, he's crazy. He's crazy and he's rich, but like that's kind of we live in that shit.

SPEAKER_03 15:48

It was it was a good movie.

SPEAKER_05 15:50

Scary.

SPEAKER_03 15:51

Especially just just to like just from the budget, I didn't even know anything about it. Um I went just because it was a scary movie. Anytime it's a scary movie, I'm like, dude, I'm pulling up. Right. Just like I'm gonna pull up for scary movies. Scary movie. Which isn't really that scary.

SPEAKER_05 16:18

Hey, it's gonna scare me. Is it five? It's five, right?

SPEAKER_04 16:21

Is it five or is it six? I thought it was six, but I'm just I just do a number right there.

SPEAKER_03 16:25

Dog, the one uh the one part that got me, um dude, I think uh their sister, Kim Wayne, is so hilarious to me. Like anything that she does. So when I saw the trailer, when she said something like she uh like a DEI hire, like a white woman can't die on her shift. I don't know why is that so funny to me? She was like, ah, I'm a DEI hire. A white woman can't die on my ship. And the way she did it, I'm like, man, that chick is so extra. That movie's gonna be on there. Oh, that's gonna be hilarious. Yeah, it's six.

Theater Comeback And Big Formats

SPEAKER_03 17:13

So now what do y'all think? He-Man or scared. See, I think He-Man's gonna win.

SPEAKER_05 17:19

You think He-Man is gonna win the weekend just because of the But but he like he's really not even into He-Man.

SPEAKER_03 17:25

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't even know about He-Man.

SPEAKER_05 17:27

I gotta I gotta bow out of this one. There's a bunch of our generation that do know He-Man. No, exactly.

SPEAKER_04 17:33

Nobody's going to see He-Man.

SPEAKER_03 17:34

But what I'm saying, but no, what I'm saying is up, though. No, it is, but he's not into it. No, I get it. We're into it. So But his generation is saying it's a good thing.

SPEAKER_05 17:44

It's basically Gen X, like a Gen X market type of thing. But then, you know, they'll be right back. I told you how excited I was watching. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:52

Like I'm sitting up there like, I'm gonna go.

SPEAKER_05 17:55

But see, it'll probably, it'll probably be now I'm not in the E-man, so you know, whatever to me.

SPEAKER_03 18:00

But But you can't be like, oh, how can you not in Right?

SPEAKER_05 18:03

I get why you're not in. But then they probably marketed it to kids too. Oh, yeah, that's why. So it's it's it's gonna be it's gonna be Gen X, it's gonna be millennials because you know they got they don't want to.

SPEAKER_03 18:14

Yeah, no, there were some dudes in there with their kids. Yeah, I saw some guys in there with their little. It's gonna cross generations.

SPEAKER_05 18:20

It's crazy because I haven't really seen a whole lot of market for scary movies. Nah. You just see that in trailers. Yeah, you just I've seen maybe one or two on TV, but I've seen a whole lot of marketing for He-Man? Yeah, yeah. So that's why it's gonna win the weekend, but I think Scary Movie is gonna do good. Oh no, yeah, scary movies do. That's just a caught for heartland. Yeah, I saw on the news the other day whereas AMC says there, um sales have gone way up just a pandemic because more people are going back to the movies. But when you think about it, like all the blockbusters that have been coming out over the past year, right? So especially like this summer, you got Masters of the Universe, you got Mandalorian, you got uh what was the other one? Michael, you got um The Odyssey coming out, which they're already selling tickets to the game.

SPEAKER_03 19:14

Yeah, they said they said a lot of that is already sold out. Yeah, so out, and that comes out in July.

SPEAKER_05 19:19

Well, so it's so it sold out at so it was for the i the iMac? Oh, for the iMac. It was filmed in 70 millimeter. Okay, Arizona Mills has one of the only 70 millimeter theaters in in the country. There's not that many.

SPEAKER_03 19:34

Okay, the one with the Harkins or the Okay, okay.

SPEAKER_05 19:39

So uh is it Harkins then?

SPEAKER_03 19:41

Harkins is at Arizona Mills. It's Harkins then. It's Harkins.

SPEAKER_05 19:44

It's AMC. Is it AMC? Yeah, AMC got the IMAX. They got that big. No, but this is a 70 millimeter. It's not necessarily IMAX, it's just 70 millimeter. Usually, usually AMC and IMAX kind of go hand in hand.

SPEAKER_03 19:55

No, I mean, I know there's a Witch and I. I've never seen it. I'm just gonna tell y'all, just on 100% for sure, Harkins is at Arizona Mills. So they just said it's a 70 millimeter. But no AMC do they do have IMAX. Yeah, shit. They must have changed.

SPEAKER_05 20:12

But it's not IMAX, it's 70 millimeter. Right, right, right, right. It's just how it's filmed on the so and that's the oddest. They said that's already sold out like the first weekend. I know they said Yeah, they started selling tickets.

SPEAKER_03 20:24

But they said in IMAX and whatever, they said it's sold out. Oh, really? Uh huh. Because they was talking about that too with uh with He-Man. Yeah, they were saying like He-Man, sold out IMAX and like IMAX and all that. And they said, What's the generation? What's the the kids now?

SPEAKER_05 20:43

Uh that's you. I don't know. I don't know about it. The Y-N. Y? No, yeah, the generation Y N.

SPEAKER_03 20:49

But basically, Generation Y-Ns is the ones that's they say it kind of saved the movie. But listen, as listen, as they as they talk, because they did uh uh a poll or whatever, and they're they're going to the movies. So these niggas I know I'm gone, but just think I'm kind of I'm kind of standalone. So us like older, we're still gone, but I know when I go to the movie, I see a whole bunch of kids.

SPEAKER_05 21:20

So you telling me that that these niggas who can't watch a video on their phone longer than 10 seconds can sit down for an hour and a half, two hours and watch all the videos.

SPEAKER_03 21:30

At least the study that I show.

SPEAKER_05 21:31

Okay.

I handwrite notes all the time. Like if I'm at a meeting or something like that, I'll handwrite. I don't really like to type it into a pad or nothing. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 22:25

Uh it's been a it's been a minute. I mean, I just had to write some stuff like the other day, but it it's far and few between. Like with me. Like it'd be three months. I might write something, then might not have to write anything again for like four months.

Like, obviously, I'm gonna let y'all in on the secret. I'm sure y'all might know anyway. Our introduction, that's AI. You almost fell out just in the studio for that for hours.

SPEAKER_04 25:53

You don't get it right. Turn my mic off.

SPEAKER_03 25:56

The guy that did it, all he did was he took our uh our intro, like our the the uh the description of the show, put it in the AI, and then that that's what he came up with. Hey, some of the dopest music out there. I'm sitting up here like that. That's Drake. Yes, crazy.

SPEAKER_04 26:21

Drake ain't AI. Drake got some AI shit. Nigga. Get out of here. We know you. Nigga said Drake ain't AI.

SPEAKER_05 26:29

But Drake got some bangers on that new one. You mean Drake's writers got bangers, nigga? No, Drake writes his own stuff. With AI. No. Hey, Drake. Exactly what Steve said. He said, nah. I think listen, I think all these new artists. They probably do, man. All existing artists are writing their stuff using AI to help write their stuff now. Probably. I don't. I wouldn't really pass really. I I think most.

SPEAKER_03 26:56

You don't sit up here and put together a plan, be like, you know what? Let me let AI. I didn't sat up here and uh then put a dungeon work out and the little, oh. Hey, shout out to Nike. We got a sandbag. Okay. I gotta get some sand and stuff. You can do it, put your bag. That's gonna be uh them sandbags. Nice. That's gonna be that's a new addition to the dungeon.

SPEAKER_04 27:24

You got to slam it, jump on top of it, and pummel it. The sandbag workout.

SPEAKER_03 27:28

I'm not gonna even put sand in there. I saw a little uh DIY what to put in there. You're gonna put some rocks in there? Yeah, what do you want? Yeah, it was like like some little rocks. Because they said the sand is dusty and get dirty. Rocks. So they said like gravel or I I forget the kind. Yeah, and then uh you fill it with like some little like rubber pellets, then more rocks, some rubber pellets, yeah. All right, and dude said he found it. Uh he said him and his wife did, because they got two bags, and that's how they fill theirs out. He said he saw it on YouTube. He said it just keeps you know from it being YouTube university. Swear to goodness.

SPEAKER_04 28:14

Or you get one of them heavy duty uh lawn bags and fill that up with some sand and dirt and debris and throw that in there and zip it up.

SPEAKER_05 28:22

Speaking about uh apps a couple weeks ago and subscriptions, that's the one the one subscription I'm openly, not openly, willingly paying for.

Subscription Fatigue And Bundles

SPEAKER_05 28:33

YouTube Premier. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 28:34

Oh, you got YouTube Premier?

SPEAKER_05 28:36

Yeah. And that's only because I remember when YouTube had no commercials. Oh. And they went crazy with that shit. How much do you have to pay? Uh it's like $10 a month or something like that. Like $12, between $12 and $15. That's expensive. Yeah. Just not to get commercials? Just not to get commercials. Damn. You're rich. I'm just not that smart with my money.

SPEAKER_04 28:57

Tell them you just spend money on what you want to spend.

SPEAKER_05 29:02

Right?

SPEAKER_03 29:04

Oh, yeah. No, let me pay somebody to do it. I paid extra for Netflix just because I don't like the commercials either. I don't know, but I yeah, I don't do it. No, whatever it is on Netflix, 27, 28, I'll pay that.

SPEAKER_05 29:19

Like, I don't have any special.

SPEAKER_03 29:20

And I always notice it goes up.

SPEAKER_05 29:22

No, I've never I've never seen a commercial on Netflix, but I've heard that they have commercials. They got commercials.

SPEAKER_03 29:28

Yeah, no, they do. So like I because I've been places where I've seen commercials.

SPEAKER_05 29:31

I get Netflix through my phone carrier, right? But they only pay a portion of it. So I need to do that. Do it. Hulu, Netflix, do all that shit. I used to have Apple.

SPEAKER_04 29:46

Yeah, what's we supposed to get free with Verizon? Man, I don't get nothing free no more. I had to switch.

SPEAKER_05 29:50

I start, I started going through all the, like I said, spending my track tracking my spin and stuff. Oh, yeah, no.

SPEAKER_03 29:55

We can listen. We can sit up here and just, well, first off, we know you're rich. No, I ain't rich. But we can just tell from all the TV shows you name. I'm just saying. Remember when he would name the TV shows and they be on a bunch of different. Oh my God. I don't even watch TV.

SPEAKER_05 30:11

You gotta take advantage of what your like the phone carriers and stuff offer. I went through my T-Mobile shit, said Netflix, Hulu, Apple Plus. You probably got Paramount Plus, too. I do got Paramount Plus. I got that through Direct TV. Yeah, okay. You can get it through Direct TV. It's included. And he got a lot of things. It's included.

SPEAKER_06 30:29

Hey, I know like right now. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 30:32

I have uh HBO, HBO Max. Yeah, or whatever, right? Yeah. Man, nigga, I'm about to. Well, I got it till July. Do they still do that? Nigga.

SPEAKER_05 30:43

Give it to you for free for like a week or two.

SPEAKER_03 30:45

I'm about to cancel it right now, just so I don't feel oh. I got it in my phone. That's how I watched Power. Cancel it. They gave me the free stars.

SPEAKER_05 30:54

Yeah, they gave me free stars for like a week or two. No, I like like I I was about to pay for Paramount. I'm like, hold on. Log in through your career. So because I got DirecTV, I get Paramount Plus. See, I just don't watch TV.

SPEAKER_04 31:11

You get ESPN, you get uh, what's the other one? Like pay-per-view.

SPEAKER_05 31:16

Yeah. So it's just like you gotta take advantage of all that stuff. Like you said, I went through, I did a scrub of all the stuff I was paying for.

SPEAKER_03 31:25

But honestly, I don't even okay. Here's a truth moment. Remember, I just sat up here and said I have HBO Max. I remember when the lady called me, she's like, oh no, it's free, and you get all that, right? I have not turned that thing on that one time. HBO Max. I dude, I forgot I had it. They said you can watch it, but that's what I'm saying. I don't, I watch TV, I watch stuff, but I'm already like locked in and geared in. Okay, Netflix. I watch Netflix. Whatever comes on regular TV. I know some other stuff they be like, oh, this is good, this is good, this is good. But if it's a show that, let's say it's on Hulu, I just won't watch it. I'll just be like, oh, whatever. Right. Like, what am I really missing? Like, if I tell you about a show, and if you don't have the service or whatever, I mean, just be for real. What are you really missing? It's not like back in the day, you was missing a Cosby show. You was missing Martin, you was missing Seinfeld, you was missing The Simpsons. It's so much stuff out there now, man. Like Yeah. Like I told everybody, okay, watch Nemesis. I guarantee it's something on another platform that's exactly like Nemesis. And you just like, oh, okay. But that doesn't mean it is Nemesis, right? So it's like, so you No, I give, but no, but what I'm saying is, if I mean, like if you didn't watch it, you're not missing anything.

SPEAKER_05 32:56

And it's kind of like you've seen one, you've seen them all. Yeah, that's a lot of shows. That's exactly every Law and Order, that's every hospital show, that's everyone.

SPEAKER_03 33:05

But that's what I'm saying. Back in the day, you missed the Cosby show. You missed different worlds. Because it wasn't. It was only stuff. Exactly. And that's what everybody was talking about. Now it's so much stuff. Yeah, people. It's when you got Chicago Five. Like Chicago people. I'm the last person to have nigga. I don't give a F about the uh the NBA thing.

SPEAKER_04 33:28

This nigga.

SPEAKER_03 33:29

I do.

SPEAKER_05 33:30

Is this is us still going? Weren't you watching that?

SPEAKER_03 33:33

No, I was watching it, then I stopped. Like I'll sit up here and be like, oh, what's the score? I'm like, okay.

SPEAKER_05 33:39

I was talking about that the other day.

SPEAKER_03 33:41

Oh, what? This is us? Yeah. Yeah, see that now that that was good. But I mean, y'all get what I'm saying, though, is because I guarantee you can name five shows. He can name five shows that you never watch. You can name five that he never watched. And then you just be like, okay. I mean, like Nemesis. It's just a lot of Nimesis is close to power. But then how many other powers came out?

SPEAKER_05 34:04

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:05

Did you watch any of the other uh Nope. I started.

SPEAKER_05 34:09

It became too much. It's oversaturated. Then you start to think like, no, no, exactly. People love it. So it's yeah. Shit. I'm still I'm still thinking ghosts ain't dead. You you watch.

SPEAKER_03 34:22

You watch you watch what you want to watch. But hey, ghosts ain't dead. Fuck Tariq. Right.

SPEAKER_02 34:29

What me and Steve do watch The Dungeon.

SPEAKER_03 34:32

There you go. Hell yeah. That's our TV. Like, hell no. I watch, like I told you what, mating season?

SPEAKER_05 34:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 34:42

Uh because I just do, trust me, you can spend so much money on this stuff, man.

SPEAKER_05 34:48

And get nothing done. And if you if you really tried to watch everything you actually pay for, like you get nothing done. Yeah. No, it's all about because you even said yourself.

SPEAKER_03 34:59

You watch a lot of stuff. Well, you see, we don't have the luxury of having your type job to where, oh, it's in the background. Right. And I get it, but you're truly, truly not. Yes, you're watching, but you're truly not watching. Because you're focusing on your job. Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 35:13

I'm doing two things.

SPEAKER_03 35:15

Okay, so so something, something is suffering in there, brother. Your job.

SPEAKER_05 35:20

Your job is suffering.

SPEAKER_03 35:24

And you know what?

Multitasking, Focus, And Screen Habits

SPEAKER_03 35:25

Let me tell you this. They said it's absolutely impossible to multitask. They said it's absolutely impossible to do two things. Who's that?

SPEAKER_04 35:32

So I can't fucking put it at the same time. Google this.

SPEAKER_03 35:42

When people talk about multitasking, it's gonna suffer. They say you it's absolutely. You can do things at the same time, but it's like the multitasking. Okay, I'm gonna wash the dishes and I'm gonna vacuum. Well, you can't do that. You can't physically do that at the same time.

SPEAKER_04 35:59

But they said you can wash the dishes and dry.

SPEAKER_03 36:01

That's exactly what they're saying. But that's it's absolutely studies. Studies have showed, studies, I mean, okay, y'all try to debunk it. Studies have shown it's absolutely impossible to multitask. Try to debunk it. I mean. No, go ahead. I'm not. You're the engineer now though. I was on football scholarship.

SPEAKER_05 36:23

So here's the thing you I was a walk-on. I mean, why having the TV on, watching it and working, it's it's multitasking, but it's not really multitasking.

SPEAKER_03 36:33

Now, what if I wanted you to give me a report on it exactly like what you watched?

SPEAKER_05 36:38

And I probably wouldn't, it would probably be 100% accurate because I'm not 100% invested in that and that's but I still I'm still paying attention enough to where I know what's gonna do.

SPEAKER_03 36:50

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because I now I can sit up there, I can see the TV and I can be in here. I still end up sitting down, rewinding the TV. Like I have to sit down and rewind. It just depends on what it is.

SPEAKER_05 37:05

If if it's something I'm truly interested in, then yes, I will stop it and I will rewind it and watch it. Right, right, right. Without you know, working or whatever. Let me ask you this. When you are watching TV, is your phone in your hand?

unknown 37:18

No.

SPEAKER_05 37:20

Exactly. No. Okay. I don't if I'm in if I'm into something, I'm gonna sit there and watch it. That's why I like going to the movie. I don't want to miss nothing. That's why I like going to the movies too. But just generally, just generally, not if you're into it, not if if I'm just sitting there, so say say I'm I have the game on or something on my TV at home. Right. Yeah, I have my phone in my hand. Because that's different. No, just maybe I'm playing a game or whatever. Yeah. I'm playing Candy Crush. He said playing Candy Crush. Making a bet I might be on, you know, on social media or whatever. It is what it is. But it's but that's a game in the background. Like I don't need to watch every second of that game.

SPEAKER_04 38:02

Yeah, you do. Oh, I do. I need to watch the game. Uh yeah, you you truly watch every second of that game. I watch every single second until they go to commercial.

SPEAKER_03 38:10

Listen, when I watch, when I watch San Antonio, Oklahoma City.

SPEAKER_04 38:15

Yeah, I would watch it.

SPEAKER_03 38:16

I watch every single one there.

SPEAKER_04 38:20

I'm in my recliner. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 38:22

When I watch football, I watch one football game and I watch it from beginning to end.

SPEAKER_05 38:28

I do. When I'm watching the Niners, I am watching it from beginning to end. But we're not talking about the Niners. So that's I'm talking about me. He's it, me watching the game. So just like you said, you watch the game. So certain teams I do watch from beginning to the end. I watched it. If it's just Jacksonville and Tennessee Titans. Yeah, see, I won't. Like I'll have it on, but I don't need to watch it. They're gonna watch the Savannah Bananas. I don't watch that. KFC South might, you know, might rise up one day.

unknown 38:56

One year.

SPEAKER_05 38:57

The Titans are pretty good. Are they?

SPEAKER_04 38:59

Supposedly. On paper.

SPEAKER_05 39:00

Do they draft well? On paper, they're pretty good. We're gonna see. We're gonna see. They got a Super Bowl in 2030. They were what, two and what is it, 18 games now? Are they two and sixteen uh last season? Yeah. Who was that? The Titans. Oh yeah, they was they was ass. They got a new coach, right? They took they took my my nobody remembers them. They took my defensive coordinator. I'm mad at them. But anyway, the uh it's a it's a matter of importance. It is, it is what you decide to that's true, that's true. If I'm okay turning off the TV and getting work done, like again, if I'm working at home, I'll have it on in the background. And if it's something that I like, that like I I like there's a couple shows that I'm into, I might not turn them on. If it's something that I just okay, I've heard about, I'll turn it on in the background, I'll listen to it, and I'll just kind of pay attention.

SPEAKER_03 39:57

Read that aloud for me if you don't mind.

SPEAKER_05 40:03

True multitasking is mostly mostly a myth. The human brain cannot fully focus on two complex tasks at once. Instead, it rapidly shifts attention back and forth, a process called task switching. And this is according to American psychological assessments. So it's just task switches, it's not really multitasking.

SPEAKER_03 40:24

So it's like No, you know, people always talk about, oh, I'm a multitasking. Oh, yeah. No, you're not. Yeah, yeah. You're just doing two things at once. You just do two. Kind of a subpar.

SPEAKER_04 40:34

Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Just like when you hump a girl from the back and she on the phone talking to her mama. And we're just gonna let Steve. We're just gonna let Steve both attack.

SPEAKER_05 40:44

But then, but then she is she really enjoying it. She really enjoyed it. Really into it?

SPEAKER_04 40:49

I talked about it last time.

SPEAKER_03 40:53

Hey, it's like that one clip I just saw. It was on IG. I think, oh man, that hold on. I think uh shit was so funny, dog. So while I'm gonna do it. Hey, Sterling be Sterling be uh sending some funny stuff, dog.

SPEAKER_05 41:12

I've gotten into the habit recently of uh maybe like a year or two. If I'm if I'm watching TV, the phone is down, the laptop is down. If I'm on my laptop, the TV's off or playing music or whatever. Really? Nothing is on. Why is that? Just just because of distraction. Okay. I feel like we're very distracted, and I'm trying to. No, we we are trying to limit that as best as I can. So you're just trying to prioritize what you're doing at that. Yeah, be more in the moment. Whatever it is, I'm doing it, whether it's not.

SPEAKER_03 41:51

Here's the thing,

Concert Phones And Being Present

SPEAKER_03 41:52

too. Why do people go to concerts then hold their phone? Right. Right. Guess another study. I'll tell y'all.

SPEAKER_06 41:59

Yeah. They said study.

SPEAKER_03 42:01

No, listen, they said that you do not go back and even watch it. No, you don't. They said you don't even go back and watch it. So just enjoy the show.

SPEAKER_05 42:11

Last concert I went to was uh last month. Saw a Lupe Fiasco. I think I told y'all about it. Uh literally. Did everybody have their phone out? 90% of the crowd. Boom. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 42:22

And they're not gonna watch it.

SPEAKER_05 42:23

Like from start to finish. Maybe they edit it later. And this man did the entire album front to back. He did like an hour and a half, two hour set. I'm telling you. Nobody dropped it.

SPEAKER_03 42:32

Study show. They said you That's crazy. It's a very low percentage. They said maybe 15, 15, 20% of go back and like actually look at it, but enjoy it while you're there. So now you back looking, like and you were right there. Like, damn, Bobby Brown dancing in front of you. Yeah, I can see a couple, like a minute here. No, no, no. We'll do listen, hold on. I'm just saying. We talk about the people that's recording the whole entire show. Not just like, not we're not talking about that. Like you get a little 30-second clip. Yeah, the people that's recording the whole entire show.

SPEAKER_05 43:12

I'm not gonna sit up and act like I didn't. I pulled my phone out, but I did that intentionally just to send it to a couple people. Yeah, right, right, right. I sent it and then not delete it. Yeah, I send it up.

SPEAKER_03 43:21

They talk about the people that the entire show. Like it's two hours, yeah. They phone damn near dead because they sat there the whole time. And then they mad if they phone dies to enjoy the show. Now they can't even call Uber. Right because they phone dead. Right. That's what I only do.

SPEAKER_05 43:38

You got a charger, two minute clips. Man, I'll take it a step further than that. And um, I don't even really take pictures or anything like that if I'm somewhere new. I'm I'm just there. You know what I'm saying? I'm just there. Enjoying the experience. Enjoying the experience. Yeah, like I went to the San Diego Zoo. That motherfucker is huge. Hey, I heard the sand. Listen, my goodness.

SPEAKER_03 43:59

I'm not even a big Zoo person, but not anymore. I told you when I saw blackfish, I I turned against zoos and sea world and all that. Okay. But I heard the San Diego Zoo is nice.

SPEAKER_05 44:16

Yeah, it is. Yeah, I've been to the San Diego Zoo. Yeah, I've never seen it. The kids there. Yeah, they were younger. Oh my God. Waterworld. Yeah, you're gonna be there for a minute. Did you walk or did you take the tram? No, we walked it. I just want to go see the gorillas. Them niggas, man. You see how powerful they are? So they had two brothers in there. One was just walking around being brolic, the other one was just eating and chilling. That's it. I stand there and watch them for like 10 minutes.

SPEAKER_03 44:44

I probably just still be there right now. You'd be like, man, hold on, you've been here for a whole year.

SPEAKER_05 44:50

So?

SPEAKER_03 44:50

I don't like that. I paid my money? Yeah. That's the thing. I love monkeys. Anything. Monkey chimps, orangutans, planet of the apes. I love them, dawg. You know that is. Let me see. What else do we need to debunk today?

SPEAKER_05 45:13

Shit. Living for social media. Let's just stay. Let's just stay on this topic. I can't stand that. I can't stand it. Living for social media as in your posting. Yeah. Everything. Everything. Yeah. I can't stand it. Going to concerts just to post.

SPEAKER_04 45:33

I don't even like nobody posting me. Don't take no picture of me. I'm gone.

SPEAKER_03 45:37

Yeah, exactly. I'm not here.

SPEAKER_05 45:38

I don't need to see your whole life. That's for one. Like I don't need to see, because I think a lot of it is just kind of fake. You know what I mean? So people post things to make it look like they're living this life that they really ain't. Right.

SPEAKER_04 45:53

Not Cardi B, she real. 100%.

SPEAKER_05 45:58

Top to bottom. Other than the BBL and the cat on one of that. What's the saying? Believe half of what you hear, none of what you see or something.

SPEAKER_03 46:07

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_05 46:08

And don't get me wrong. Like I I I do scroll on social media. We obviously we send each other videos. And the comedic videos that we see and and the podcasts and whatever. People talking, you know, about certain things, uh topics and stuff. But when I see like my friends posting their lives and like I got off Facebook because of that. Like I like Instagram because Instagram is about video and content. Whereas Facebook's more about personal like personal life, right? So people post mostly most of their family pictures and stuff and what they're doing on Facebook, in my opinion. I'm not on Facebook anymore, but um I don't do the Twitter, I don't do the the uh what's the other one? The text or anything. Isn't it just isn't it just those three? TikTok? TikTok. I don't do the TikTok. Yeah, Snap. Oh, Snapchat, Snapchat. That's still that's still around.

SPEAKER_04 47:08

Yeah, Snapchat's still around. I still get requests all the time. I deleted my shit a long time ago.

SPEAKER_05 47:14

How about social media? It's become social media has managed to make its way into everyday life. Like it's almost like you can't navigate shit without some sort of social media presence. And I'm talking from uh from a business owner standpoint, like I hate the shit, but I gotta have some kind of digital fitness.

SPEAKER_03 47:39

No, we get no, we get that. We talking about the whole, oh, look at my rims.

SPEAKER_05 47:46

Yeah, yeah. But see, even even in the world. Look at my new car, and not not my space, but even in like look at my new uh my new porch. Even in in the fitness space, motherfuckers will still bow wow challenge they whole shit.

SPEAKER_03 48:00

Oh, yeah, that's yeah.

SPEAKER_05 48:02

That's the whole shit. You gotta have the perfect lighting, you gotta have the filter, you gotta have the angle, you gotta have the oh, and then they send it there with the little circle ring. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Light up their face. Like it's it's like. Okay. So people need the content and the likes to make money. Yeah. So that's why people are doing it. And then so getting back to the living for it. Like it's it blows my mind that people will live for virtual likes. Shit that don't really spend like nothing unless unless you got a one of those pages. But everyday people don't have that kind of setup to where it's like you're getting a bag every time you get a thousand likes or some shit.

SPEAKER_03 48:53

Dude, exactly.

SPEAKER_05 48:54

So you would rather you would rather talk shit to me or talk to me online knowing you'll never see me in person, but you won't have a random conversation with a stranger at a bus stop. One thing I don't like with social media is people and their comments. Oh brave. Brave as hell. It's like, okay, you look at thumb up, you're looking at the con at the content, and now you got a comment about the content. Now, it's one thing if you're positive and upbeat. Right. But when you're negative, what's so hard about just swiping up? Just swipe it. You don't have to say nothing. Right? Just swipe up.

SPEAKER_03 49:36

Just if you don't like it, if you don't like that person, hey, oh well. Just like getting raped in VR, just take off the VR.

SPEAKER_05 49:44

Just turn it off. Just push the offer.

SPEAKER_02 49:51

No, you know.

SPEAKER_03 49:56

We might need to uh Yeah, we need to go back and start repurposing some of these old uh episodes.

SPEAKER_05 50:04

Yeah, we got a few. Push the button. That's too funny, man. Take another shade.

SPEAKER_04 50:09

I was just like this lady today. I walked in, you know, I was all happy, go lucky today at work, and I'm like, hey y'all, it's Friday. And this lady's going, it's not your Friday. You know, because I'm part-time. That means I gotta go in tomorrow morning. So I was just like, hey, stop it. I don't even want to hear it. Even though I gotta come in tomorrow. It's motherfucking Friday.

SPEAKER_05 50:31

Yeah, still is.

SPEAKER_04 50:32

And you can't take it from me. Sorry. You can't take my joy. Right? That was hilarious, though.

SPEAKER_05 50:38

That's one thing I can't stand around is being just around negative people all the time. Oh, yeah, no, I can't do that. Can't do it. Can't do it. It's you know, we all go through things, right? We all have negativity in our lives. But when you're negative all the time, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 50:54

I'm not a negative person. Yeah, sometimes y'all have known me for a while, and you can't think of like anything.

SPEAKER_05 51:02

Um, never seen this man. Did you see that? Never seen this man. Dude, I just you haven't.

SPEAKER_04 51:11

I have no, I'm just gonna be on the court. Nigga, you better shoot the ball. I'm on the ball.

SPEAKER_05 51:21

I've never actually seen it.

SPEAKER_04 51:23

And and then why are you so pissed up with me?

SPEAKER_05 51:25

Heard about it what? Like three months ago, three, four months ago? You just like the first. But yeah, he's cool though. Again, it's just it's the constant negativity. It's like, can't you find something to be happy about? Right. I know some people like that. Everything is like Chambers. Not you. Chambers is a motherfucker.

SPEAKER_04 51:46

He's constant negative.

SPEAKER_02 51:47

Everything is like, damn. Speaking of- Who hurt you? It's been a long time now.

SPEAKER_05 52:00

Let it go. And the other day I had a uh I had a

Random Kindness And Talking To Strangers

SPEAKER_05 52:04

thought. I I listened to a lot of podcasts, mostly training podcasts, but the um the podcast I was listening to, this dude was talking about his upbringing and how he had to switch schools and this, that, and the third, and how he um, you know, he was kind of a burnout. So he smoked a lot of weed, drank a lot of whatever as a teenager. And I guess he had a group of friends at one school, and that's how we got them. And then he went to another school and they kind of like pushed him away or denied him or declined them because they got down a different way. And um one of the things he said, and he was like, Well, I guess that was uh that's like not a that's not a normal thing to just walk up to somebody and say, hey, you want to smoke weed, blah, blah, blah, blah. So I thought to that, thought about that. And I was like, well, why not? Not the smoking weed part, but like it's not normal behavior, air quotes, to walk up to somebody and just start having a conversation. How is that not normal? It's like, hey, you want to be friends, type shit, you know what I mean? Like I did that the other day. I I never met this dude, never seen this dude before. I just started talking to him. Start struck up a random conversation. It wasn't it was in the gym.

unknown 53:14

Yeah.

SPEAKER_05 53:15

So, you know, so context.

SPEAKER_03 53:17

So here's the thing, right? You and someone, is this artist Gilmore? No, my bad.

SPEAKER_05 53:28

No, someone like again, it's so it I don't understand why it's so hard to say hi to people. Or just hey, how you doing? Or, you know, if you walk by somebody, give them a nod and say, oh, how you doing? Or you get the elevator, how's it going today? It's not that hard to be nice. It's harder to me, in my opinion, to be an asshole. Oh, yeah. You are purposely going out of your way to inconvenience somebody or hurt their feelings. It is too hard to be an asshole. It's not that hard to be nice. Because if I approach you with a smile and say, hey, how are you you how's your day going? That's instantly gonna make you feel better.

SPEAKER_03 54:07

Do you know the person?

SPEAKER_05 54:08

You don't need to know the person.

SPEAKER_03 54:09

No, I'm not asking nobody I don't know how their day is.

SPEAKER_05 54:12

No.

SPEAKER_03 54:13

SPEAKER_05 54:35

I actually mean, how are you really? Yeah. Not just, not just the the in the moment, the common pleasantries. It's because I'll I'll I'll go to a store and somebody will be ringing me up, cashier will be ringing me up, and they're very clearly having a shitty day. And I'll say, How you doing? And they'll just fine. It's happened to me a couple times where I'll stop and be like, How you really doing? And then that will just brighten them up. Like they'll be like, You're the first person who's actually asked me, or first person who's been nice to you.

SPEAKER_03 55:08

You know, now you gotta ask people about their mental health. How's your mental health? How you really doing it? Oh, it's good.
