SPEAKER_02 0:06

What it do, what it is, would it be? Y'all tune in in between random and real. T B yeah, we're changing things up. We're changing things up, guys.

SPEAKER_07 0:17

We are changing things up.

SPEAKER_02 0:20

So we're moving away from everywhere at once. And we are now moving forward with between random and real. And I'm just kind.

SPEAKER_07 0:32

And I'm TJ. And we are back with another one.

SPEAKER_02 0:38

Just like that, man.

SPEAKER_07 0:39

Just like that. So new pod name. How do you feel? I I feel like, damn. How do you feel?

SPEAKER_02 0:47

Um I f I feel like everywhere at once, it was kind of uh too general. I feel like between random and real, that's like uh I feel like that's more of an essence of like what we are and what we talk about. Like we mad random and I mean that's what everywhere at once was. Like we literally talked about everything, yeah at once, and it was just everywhere, but then like we also did have like that real, like we we do touch on like real topics, yeah. But um, we we try to still make it fun without without being too serious. So that's why I feel like between random and real, I think that's like a the perfect, probably like a perfect uh name for to to put over this podcast, I think, between random and real.

SPEAKER_07 1:35

I agree. I feel like and also our podcast is a lot different from how we first started. Yeah. Thank you to our listeners who have been listening to us since what 2024 maybe? Yeah, probably about um is when we started the podcast, and uh I mean uh things were just a lot different, you know, setting, people, like topics, like we have evolved and we want the podcast podcast to continue to grow with us, continue to evolve with us, and we felt like a new name would represent us a little bit better from like where we're going into the future. So um we hope you guys love between random and real because we honestly both love that pod name.

SPEAKER_02 2:28

Yeah, I rock with it.

SPEAKER_07 2:30

Yeah, we both rock with the pod name so you guys can finally find us everywhere at between random and real. And if you hate the podcast name and the podcast change, then like I don't know, we don't give a f. I I was trying to think of something a little bit nicer. Oh shit, but he what he said is correct. We don't give a f speaking of curse words. I have been put on curse word um uh was the punishment, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 3:03

Because I didn't know that because you just damn let one loose.

SPEAKER_07 3:07

I mean, you told me, okay, he told me the last episode he had to blank out so many of my curse words, y'all. I guess I curse so much on the podcast, and my favorite curse word is mutter effort or whatever. I said that probably like 10 or 12 or 15 or 20 times in the last episode.

SPEAKER_02 3:22

But he should I should have put a counter up.

SPEAKER_07 3:25

Yeah, you shouldn't.

SPEAKER_02 3:26

I might have to do a do an edit and then like just clip that video and just clip all the times that you said it, like ding, yeah, ding, ding.

SPEAKER_07 3:32

Just get get put up do a ding every single time I curse. He said I can only use PG 13 curse words, which I didn't even know that was a thing. Can you list out what what are PG 13 curse words?

SPEAKER_02 3:45

Damn, ass, asshole.

SPEAKER_07 3:49

Damn is not a curse word. I grew up saying that in my household. Y'all think damn is a curse word?

SPEAKER_02 3:55

Uh shit, bullshit.

SPEAKER_07 3:59

Um that sounds like most of the curse words.

SPEAKER_02 4:02

Nah, it's something you can't you can't.

SPEAKER_07 4:04

So what's a rated R curse word?

SPEAKER_05 4:10

It's like you was waiting to let that one go. I'm just you've been holding that in all your life in pieces.

SPEAKER_02 4:17

That's what she that's what she here on the rated uh rated R for sure. We keep we keep shit PG 13, we straight marvel. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_07 4:26

Oh, are we really PG 13? I don't think our podcast well, I think our podcast is like PG 14, PG 13.

SPEAKER_02 4:34

I mean, sometimes we're so weird.

SPEAKER_07 4:37

I feel like some we talk about real topics. Everything we talk about, they talk about high school, so yeah, but we know how to do it the right way.

SPEAKER_02 4:45

Like when as a kid, you don't really know how to cuss. Like you just be saying random.

SPEAKER_07 4:49

Oh, I always knew how to cuss.

SPEAKER_02 4:51

So you knew how you weren't just saying random shit.

SPEAKER_07 4:53

No, I said that in correct sentences. I put my curse words in proper grammar.

SPEAKER_02 4:59

So you sophisticated ignorance might your curses and cursive.

SPEAKER_07 5:04

Yeah, but I wouldn't call it ignorance. That was kind of like a slap in the face, to be honest. I call it sophisticated literature. Okay, yeah. Passionate. Because I use curse words when I'm passionate.

SPEAKER_02 5:21

Okay.

SPEAKER_07 5:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 5:23

Okay. Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 5:24

I see you thinking about it.

SPEAKER_02 5:25

I guess I mean I can I can understand that. I can understand that.

SPEAKER_07 5:28

Yeah, like Shakespeare was using like thy shall I.

SPEAKER_02 5:33

He should throw some cuss words and that shit. Facts. Thou shalt not my for he is Benet. At a TH at the end of every fucking word. Out of the house. I don't know why we read that shit. Because that shit don't make no sense.

SPEAKER_07 5:57

I don't know why on earth is the American public school system making you guys read all of this.

SPEAKER_03 6:06

Oh, I thought she was about to say what you said that's too slow.

SPEAKER_02 6:10

I was about to say, wait, wait, wait. Why is you why why are you letting the public school system let you guys read? Whoa. Well, you know they're not reading. I'm like, damn.

SPEAKER_06 6:20

You know they got really reading for real.

SPEAKER_07 6:22

I mean, but like, why are we reading all this Shakespeare literature from I don't know, hundreds and hundreds of years ago?

SPEAKER_01 6:32

They made up that they made up stay on shit. That don't make no sense. Nobody talks about that.

SPEAKER_07 6:37

It don't make no sense. We're not reading no poetry. We're not reading no, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 6:45

So if a so if a guy had walked up and hit you on some shit like that, like on some Shakespeare. You know what I mean? Like, hey.

SPEAKER_07 6:51

I would call the police. Because trust to believe, my life is in danger. My life is in danger.

SPEAKER_02 6:59

Man, y'all, we was watching, uh, we was watching Fear Factor before this. Like, I she she the reality show person. Like, she the type that she she done signed up for reality shows and all that. Like, she she really be trying to get on TV. I'm not trying to get on no reality show. But if there was one, Fear Factor, it'd be it. I feel like I could win that shit.

SPEAKER_07 7:21

What makes you think you can win Fear Factor?

SPEAKER_02 7:24

I ain't really tripping about no pain. If it's some water shit, I can swim.

SPEAKER_07 7:30

I've seen you get a tattoo.

SPEAKER_02 7:32

Barely swim. And then on top of that, heights. I mean, I don't really be tripping about heights too much. Um, the only shit that's really gonna get me is food. I ain't I don't I ain't really scared of like snakes. I don't really fuck with bugs, but for for that bread, I'll I'll let them drop bugs.

SPEAKER_07 7:48

Honestly, I think that's what you would be the best at, because I mean I cook for you.

SPEAKER_02 7:52

What you mean?

SPEAKER_07 7:53

I'll be cooking for you. You eat my meals, so I'm pretty sure the free factor meals, yeah, it'll be decent. You'll get through it.

SPEAKER_07 9:20

Disturbing our peace.

SPEAKER_02 9:21

It sounds so smooth and soft. So key. Okay. I'm like, oh, is that me? How does it feel to wake up to this voice every morning?

SPEAKER_02 9:57

SPEAKER_02 10:11

That boy said, Lori, Lori, it's my wife. It's my wife, it's my son, Jay.

SPEAKER_07 10:24

As y'all can hear that, we are actual Walking Dead fans. But yeah, uh, I agree. I am um a reality show. Like, I like a lot of reality shows. When it comes to competition shows, that's what I like. Don't I'm I don't watch every single reality show.

SPEAKER_02 10:41

So like if if you could just choose one, one reality show that you would that you actually sign up for and go there today, what would it be? Probably.

SPEAKER_07 10:52

Oh, just the circle, probably.

SPEAKER_02 10:54

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you you actually did try to. I think you did apply the ball.

SPEAKER_07 10:58

Yeah, the circle. I think the circle would be fun to do. So Netflix, holla at me. You know, I'm the girl.

SPEAKER_02 11:06

Hey, hey, I feel like Netflix, y'all should get the both of us. I don't think y'all have like a married couple on there yet.

SPEAKER_07 11:12

No.

SPEAKER_02 11:12

So if y'all if y'all, cause you know how we we can catfish them.

SPEAKER_07 11:15

We can.

SPEAKER_02 11:16

Yeah, like just just us two have us two, and I'll know that man. But I don't know which one we're gonna we're gonna use. I don't know if we're gonna use you if you're gonna use me. I don't know.

SPEAKER_07 11:24

I I would definitely use you because you you like guys get through the competition so much more easier than women because women can I don't know. It's just like when you're like the chill relaxed guy, you just get overlooked and like the big persony personality sometimes don't mesh, and then they kinda yeah.

SPEAKER_02 11:46

We should try that. We should try that. Let's yeah, we definitely should sign up and get on there as well.

SPEAKER_07 11:50

Well, that's how they be flirting with people, and people be flirting with them. Are you gonna do that?

SPEAKER_02 11:54

But I was gonna say, me and you gonna have to flirt with them, so we're gonna have to figure out like what we're gonna say back and shit. Like that's but I thought that's gonna be funny.

SPEAKER_07 12:02

Okay, okay, okay, okay. Well, listen, I can do that. I'm a good flirt.

SPEAKER_02 12:07

Yeah, I'm being I'm gonna be leaning towards you because you're gonna know all the right things to say when it especially when it comes to the girl.

SPEAKER_07 12:14

Okay, so we're flirting with other people though.

SPEAKER_02 12:17

Me and you are trying to win. So if if we are using me as a catfish, then yes, we have to flirt with other people.

SPEAKER_05 12:26

Oh, I get this. That would be funny though.

SPEAKER_02 12:28

We're doing it together though. Like, it's like we collectively yeah, we collect the shit.

SPEAKER_07 12:33

But like, say this. Say that.

SPEAKER_02 12:35

I mean, or I can just tell you to say this or say that. Like, we're gonna be we're gonna be right there.

SPEAKER_07 12:39

Yeah, but you might need a little bit more help because you know, I'm I'm G. You know, I I do this, I'm good at this.

SPEAKER_02 12:46

And insert the crickets here.

SPEAKER_07 12:49

Oh wow, that's how you're gonna treat me, anyways. Y'all, we're back for another great week. It's start finally starting to warm up. Spring is right around the corner. I'm so freaking glad because I am a lover of the summertime, springtime, the sun, the heat. I think it's the best season of the year. I love being in the sun, going to the beach, the cookouts, being outside in general. So, this is my time to shine.

SPEAKER_02 13:15

I wanted a little bit more snow, man. I I enjoy the cold. I I feel the cold.

SPEAKER_07 13:21

Yeah, well, you know, better luck next time. I mean, you gotta you gotta take your blessing. Charlotte got way more snow than it ever has this year.

SPEAKER_02 13:30

Yeah, but you know, maybe it could just be cold for like maybe like a couple more weeks.

SPEAKER_07 13:34

Yeah, yeah. I agree. Psych a said psych. Y'all, this past week we finally went and saw Send Help. I know we mentioned it last week that we wanted to go see that movie, and so I got my movie review for you guys because y'all know I am a movie connoisseur. Get your popcorn, get your popcorn, listen up. Should I have spoilers?

SPEAKER_02 14:00

Get your candy with the red 40 dye.

SPEAKER_07 14:02

I ain't gonna have no, I ain't gonna have no spoilers. We ain't do the die in this. Uh all of our fans don't do die. We don't got no die in that.

SPEAKER_02 14:10

I can tell you right now.

SPEAKER_07 14:13

Y'all, so send help is in theaters currently right now. If you haven't went and go see it, I suggest that you take your man, take your girl, take your mama, take your nana, your grandpa, and go see Sand Help. It's classified as a horror, maybe a drama, but it's not really a horror at all. Like, it's not scary whatsoever. When I tell you that me and Jessica was in that theater cracking up. Yeah, sure, it was a comedy, it was so funny. Of course, it has like its, I guess you would say your bloody parts, but it won't even really, it won't even that bad. I wouldn't even consider it gory at all. If you don't know what the movie is about, send help is about a um woman working for a company, and her boss leaves the company. He is like the CEO or owner of the company, and he leaves the company, um, leaves the position for his son.

SPEAKER_02 15:11

So his son takes I think the the dad actually died.

SPEAKER_07 15:15

Dad died?

SPEAKER_02 15:16

Yeah. Okay, my bad.

SPEAKER_07 15:18

He died and passed the the Okay, so the dad died and passed his position to his son. So his son takes over the company. Well, his son is a asshole. Is that PG 13?

SPEAKER_02 15:29

Yeah, that is PG 13.

SPEAKER_07 15:30

All right, his son is an asshole and treats her really bad. Um, and long story short, the son takes her and a few other colleagues on a work trip, and the plane crashes on a deserted island. So only her and her mean boss survived the plane crash, and they can't stand each other, and they are at each other's necks. It's funny, it's surprising, it has a huge twist at the end that I think everyone would enjoy. So you gotta watch it to the very end because the beginning can be a little slow, just a little bit, but I'm telling you guys that ending makes it worth the wait. It's really funny, it's definitely entertaining. I give it a nine out of ten. Nine out of freaking ten.

SPEAKER_02 16:25

It was cool to see them, uh, both of those main the main actors, um, and in a like a different type of movie that they're normally in, like old girl that that uh from the notebook. I mean, I don't know neither of their names, but old girl that's from the notebook. Like, I s I feel like she always played like the girly type of roles, romance, you know.

SPEAKER_07 16:46

Yeah, Rachel McAdams is her name.

SPEAKER_02 16:48

Yeah, so for her to like do do uh uh something like this, that's like the total opposite. She kind of like a geek in a way, and yeah and you know, and annoying. So it was just cool to see her get into like her funny bag a little bit. And then even with bro, like he he's just known as a maze runner. That's all I've ever seen.

SPEAKER_07 17:07

Dylan O'Brien, uh yeah, Dylan O'Brien is in the movie, and yeah, he is in the maze runner.

SPEAKER_02 17:13

And she showcases like acting skills for sure, uh in this movie. So it's a it's a it's an original. Um, I mean, I thought I thought it was pretty good too. I'd probably give it like an eight.

SPEAKER_07 17:24

You give it an eight? I give it a nine out of ten. And if y'all don't want to listen to us, well, Rotten Tomatoes gave it a 93%. So that's pretty damn Rotten Tomatoes.

SPEAKER_02 17:33

They be they be wishy washy.

SPEAKER_07 17:35

Yeah, Rotten Tomatoes be wishy-washy, but I will say if they don't want to listen to us, I can I guess y'all can check out Rotten Tomatoes. But the movie was really good, definitely a comedy. You guys go see it on your date nights or whatever, but it was really good. And like you said, I agree with you. Like it was it was nice to see um Rachel and Dylan play like different roles that we haven't really seen them in like a horror movie before. At least, at least we haven't. Maybe they are, but we haven't really seen them play a role like this. Um, and Rachel McAdams did a great job. If you don't, if you've never seen her from the notebook, she's also a white uh not white chic, mean girl. She's also a mean girl, so yeah. Great movie. Go check it out. Yeah, it's so many crazy things going on right now in the world.

SPEAKER_02 18:28

Yeah, it is, it is.

SPEAKER_07 18:29

I'm pretty sure y'all's stories and TLs and algorithm is going to be.

SPEAKER_02 18:34

Boy, about that damn about that damn war, man.

SPEAKER_07 18:38

Yeah. Well, you said we won't even gonna touch it.

SPEAKER_02 18:41

We're not, uh but but what I'm about to touch on may be the reason why all this craziness happening. But should we go ahead and jump into just kind of news guy?

SPEAKER_07 18:48

Yeah, I'm ready. It's just kind of news guy.

SPEAKER_02 18:58

I appreciate that. So we are back with just kind of news guy. So there has been a lot of craziness going on. I mean, you have wars, you have protests, you have murders, you have kidnappings, you have traffic. I mean, I don't know what it is. I I don't know if it's in the water, I don't know if it's in the food, but it possibly could be in the earth. So, there was a weather watchdog that reported an uptick in Earth's hum like heartbeat, raising concerns that it could be affecting people's brains. And that could explain why all the craziness is going on. So, known as schumin resonance, I probably pronounced that all wrong. This natural electromagnetic frequency creates waves in the gap between Earth's surface and the ion, the ionosphere, the layer that is above the earth where sunlight charges particles allowing radio signals to travel long distances. So basically, they're saying that it's like this low frequency buzzing sound that could possibly be affecting people's brains and scrambling people's brains. And they put it on like a scale, right? So, but before I jump into the scale, the type of things that um or side effects that this can cause, like as far as the symptoms, include headaches, dizziness, brain fog, ringing in the ears, and even mood swings, and it can disrupt your sleep, your sleep. Um, but the concern is that this earthly rhythm is believed to affect brain wave patterns associated with everything from sleep to concentration, meaning that a sudden spike could theoretically throw our neuro equilibrium off kilter.

SPEAKER_07 20:35

Okay, I have something to say. That reminds me, do y'all get the phone calls and it's like the spam calls, but you answer and all you hear is the or that loud noise and it'll stop.

SPEAKER_02 20:49

Nah.

SPEAKER_07 20:50

You've never got that call, like to your phone.

SPEAKER_02 20:52

Nah, but I I heard that like calls like that, I think they call them like ghost calls or something, but I have heard that if you say hello, they'll hang up because they're just gonna use your voice. Your voice, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 21:04

Bruh. I mean, that's what that storiness made me think about. Sometimes it's like a real loud, high frequency noise. It's like and then stop. And then you just never know if that's like motherfuckers out here trying to scramble your brain. I be thinking like, bruh, they got me. Every time that happens and I like answer, I'll be like, damn, that's my ass.

SPEAKER_02 21:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 21:24

They got me.

SPEAKER_02 21:26

Especially from that from that damn uh movie that Nicolas Cage is in. I forgot what it's called. Is it Nicolas Cage? I think it is. Where um where everybody had like their headphones in their ear and stuff, the phones, and then like some type of the I don't know if the government did it, but somebody put out like a frequency and it was basically killing people whoever had like headphones and stuff in it. Yeah, man, listen, I don't know, but they they basically saying this is coming from the earth. So the earth is fed up with y'all. I don't know, like maybe y'all been pissing the earth Mother Earth off, but yeah, it's this this human sound, they're saying that possibly it could be affecting people. So something to think about with all the craziness that's been going on. Just blame it on the waves in the earth. Blame it on Earth.

SPEAKER_07 22:10

Yeah, I guess.

SPEAKER_02 22:12

Alright, so this next story is a little strange. Um people are meditating inside coffins in Japan. Yes, I said that. People are meditating in coffins in Japan. So what they're saying started as a kirky offering from a funeral home in Japan's Shiba Prefecture has blossomed into a full-blown trend among Japan Zen seekers. Uh they call it coffin line, um, or the practice of meditating inside of a coffin. And apparently it's giving people a safe, um, I guess, like, moment to recharge while they contemplate mortality. It's like people do the most extra shit for what? Like you can meditate in a living room, you can meditate on an uh outside in the grass, you can meditate on a damn yoga mat. Why go to a coffin?

SPEAKER_07 23:12

Am I allowed to answer the question? Or was that as a yes? No, no, no. Okay, okay. Thank you, thank you, Professor. Um, well, I would say that people do that because one, it's like the optimal like silence. Like you're in a breaking coffin. It's a silence. You can't really move. It's you like it's so much stillness, and it kind of reminds you of that still that that you will be in that position one day.

SPEAKER_02 23:46

I don't want to be rebounded. I I mean that's a good point because I think that's kind of how they look at it. Like they're looking at the beauty of death, um, and and how fragile life is. But you know, Japan, they've had like high suicide rates before. They're trying to um I guess like find creative ways to come combat that. So I guess this is one of those ways. So they're they're they're using this as like mental health awareness, you know, taking this moment, go into the coffin, and hopefully that'll help deter suicides, but definitely an interesting method.

SPEAKER_07 24:25

Yeah, that is interesting. I have an actual friend that like goes on the the retreats to like meditate, those meditation retreats where you're like not talking for a day or even a whole week or a weekend, and all you do is meditate. You can't talk, you can't um draw, you can't read, you can't do anything that's like stimulating. Like all you do is eat, be in silence, and then meditate. I mean, when you're in your room, I guess you could do whatever you want, but you're not technically supposed to read or write or anything. And I feel like something like that, I kinda wanna do. Does that make me crazy, you guys? I kind of want to do it for at least like five, four or five hours, or like two hours. If I could do that for two hours, I just feel like it the first 45 minutes will probably drive me crazy.

SPEAKER_02 25:21

So you can go two hours without saying nothing.

SPEAKER_07 25:24

Two hours without going saying nothing for freaking sure. You know, I'm not even a morning person. We start talking in the morning, I get pissed off.

SPEAKER_02 25:32

You make noise in the morning.

SPEAKER_07 25:34

What noise do I make?

SPEAKER_02 25:37

You gotta make no noise, though. That's the thing, like make no noise.

SPEAKER_07 25:42

You just saying that because I got like big feet and I be stepping hard and stuff like that, and I be slamming doors. I'm just saying, not on purpose, but I'm just loud.

SPEAKER_02 25:50

You mean making noise, bro? So I'll I mean maybe you can do it.

SPEAKER_07 25:53

Maybe you can, but I ain't doing a coffin, I tell you that.

SPEAKER_02 25:57

But you know they tweet they tweet that's what your boat. I don't know what y'all own in Japan.

SPEAKER_07 26:02

Or floats your coffin.

unknown 26:04

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_07 26:10

Floats your coffin, man. That's that's crazy, but you know.

SPEAKER_02 26:15

Yeah, that's wild.

SPEAKER_07 26:16

There's crazier things out here. There's people out here marrying ghosts and eating roaches, so that's true. You know, meditating in the coffin ain't the worst.

SPEAKER_02 26:24

It's probably not, but it's just like it's just like one of those things where you just look up and say, why?

SPEAKER_07 26:30

So is there like a coffin center or they're buying coffins too?

SPEAKER_02 26:34

There's actually companies. Uh, I think it's a company that actually just started up and they they create like these special little they have a a different type of coffins you can get in. If you don't like the wooden one that looks plain, you can get in a nice little cute one. You can get in the one with freaking flowers or goddamn daisies on it or some shit. Like they're literally starting to to to create companies where people can just go sit and lay in a coffin and meditate.

SPEAKER_07 27:00

I'm easily impressionable, huh? Impressionable? That's the word, right?

SPEAKER_02 27:05

Yeah, because I mean we got hella funeral home.

SPEAKER_07 27:07

All it took was all it took was flowers and daisy. I feel like this is that is paceful.

SPEAKER_02 27:14

Yeah. I don't know why people be trying to rush to that moment. Like it's gone calm.

SPEAKER_07 27:19

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 27:19

Like you ain't gotta rush there, I promise.

SPEAKER_07 27:22

Yeah, you're gonna get the and I feel like when you live, when you kinda like I don't want to say live in that, yeah. It brings a different type of mindset.

SPEAKER_02 27:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_07 27:35

I think it's good to for us to be like to remember that like life is short, we're all gonna die one day, and we're we we all need to live in a moment and enjoy the moments that we have because we won't be here forever. I think that thought and that reminder to ourselves, even every single day, would change how we the decisions that we make on a daily basis and how our perspective on life.

SPEAKER_02 28:03

Yeah, I I feel like if if if you think like that, then you probably wouldn't go meditate in the coffin. Yeah, no, I wouldn't but move moving right along. So this next story is uh you know, we we all heard of support animals, you know. We heard of support animals and then dogs, cats. Have you heard chicken?

SPEAKER_06 28:27

Chicken?

SPEAKER_02 28:29

A Canadian psychology professor who studies how relationships with pets support healthy development, has her own unusual therapy animal, an emotional support chicken to assist her with her daily life. She said, I feel like she's so smart, she can understand my emotions. It gets worse.

SPEAKER_07 30:40

I think you should. I think you should. Honestly, speaking okay, I'm gonna let you finish that. I'm gonna let you finish.

SPEAKER_02 30:47

Alright, I got one more, I got one more story. One more story. Yeah. Alright, because I know we gotta wrap this up.

SPEAKER_07 30:50

So before we get move to your next story, I just want to say everybody need love. If her sp if her special friend is a chicken, well let her give a goddamn chicken.

SPEAKER_02 31:01

And and there'll be a goddamn family. A flock of you know, bruh. Like uh like what the fuckers but there'll be there'll be a there'll be a family and let them let them man listen.

SPEAKER_02 31:26

Alright, this next story is gonna blow your mind though. So and shout out to New York Post, because y'all are one of the few articles that have a section that has all of the weird stories that nobody hears about on a daily basis. But anyway, it was his doctor. He he basically um had did a study. Uh it says the New York primary care doctor, he had redefined the phrase life after death after finding that the brain remains active even after one's heart stops. Um, and he said this means that the alleged deceased can likely hear the doctors announcing their time of death after they seize resuscitation efforts. So after they're done trying to resuscitate, they're saying that the person the heart stopped already. They can hear them saying like the time of their death. It's almost like an outer body experience type of thing. Yeah. And so I guess they I guess he did some, he did a study on multiple patients that had like cardiac arrest but came back, and they all mentioned like they were still able to hear.

SPEAKER_07 32:28

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 32:29

Bruh, I ain't gonna lie, I'd be pissed off because I'll be like, hey yo, did y'all just say what Tom out of the died? Again, in my mind, I'd go back to scary movie. Like, damn, did I just wake up dead?

SPEAKER_07 32:42

Yeah, yeah. I definitely believe that, man. I yeah, I feel the same exact way about a lot of people in in comas.

SPEAKER_02 32:50

Oh, yeah, they hear you for sure.

SPEAKER_07 32:51

My my grandfather was in coma, and like we or uh it was a meta a medical-induced coma, but we definitely thought he could hear us, and I went in there reading to him, talking to him, and everything. Because I truly think that he heard every single thing that we said to him or did in that room. Yeah, so I I believe that too because the brain is still the brain is still alive.

SPEAKER_02 33:19

Yeah, brain's strong, boy.

SPEAKER_07 33:20

The brain is strong, brain strong.

SPEAKER_02 33:23

And it is I seen something. This might have been a fake post. I seen something on Instagram. It was talking about how this girl, I don't know if it was a girl or a guy, but their partner was in a coma, and uh the the person that was in the coma overheard the affair.

SPEAKER_07 33:42

Oh man! So they woke up, like they woke up on some shit like he couldn't even do right when his girl was in the hospital.

SPEAKER_02 33:51

I don't I don't know which word, I don't want to put it on the board. I don't put I can't even say that. It was the dude. I can't remember.

SPEAKER_05 33:56

You know it was the dude. Oh, now I can't remember. I can't remember. We can't assume my power had to stick for my brother.

SPEAKER_07 34:04

We can't assume it was the dude. Y'all can't even, y'all can't even stay faithful while your girl is in the hospital. It's crazy.

SPEAKER_02 34:12

Well, how how we know what if the dude in the coma was cheating?

SPEAKER_07 34:16

What? So you think you think it was a dude and the girl was cheating on her man? Nah.

SPEAKER_02 34:20

Oh wouldn't it?

SPEAKER_07 34:20

The girl would have been in there feeding him soup and oatmeal. She wouldn't have had time to to cheat on him. She would have been wiping his ass and and nah.

SPEAKER_04 34:29

I think it was a situation where like they were on the phone with the person that you gonna be on the phone with the in front of me? That's how you dick.

SPEAKER_02 34:39

But you know, like they think they thinking like they think like the least you can do is walk out of the room.

SPEAKER_07 34:44

SPEAKER_02 37:47

Nah. But I I will say this though. They say everything caused everything. So just lead your life, man. Just leave your life. They say that you touch a countertop, it might cause cancer. You go to the store and eat some bread, it might cause diabetes. You damn breathe in some air outside. Shit, you might get herpes on your lip. I don't know. But everything costs something. So it's like, shit, just leave your life. I don't really know.

SPEAKER_07 38:16

Herpes? You didn't have to go to the SCDs and SCIs. I was a little bit too far. And nobody's going outside and getting herpes on their lip just because they got.

SPEAKER_02 38:25

SPEAKER_02 39:24

Nah, go to it. You're gonna forget again.

SPEAKER_07 39:26

Oh, okay, okay. Okay.

SPEAKER_05 39:28

It's the little extended screen time, guys.

SPEAKER_07 39:32

Anyways, I was we're talking about the vegan the going vegan. We never went vegan.

SPEAKER_02 39:38

We never went vegan. We did vegetarian all week.

SPEAKER_05 39:44

Ain't no way we spent money all week.

SPEAKER_02 39:45

Every single day of the vegan restaurants. We made that uh vegan restaurants be OD expensive. Y'all need to fit a Mike Vegan, too damn expensive.

SPEAKER_07 39:55

We love your food though.

SPEAKER_02 39:56

We love it, but bro, you tweaking 20$20 for a burger is ridiculous. Um what's uh uh Oh my soul tweaking$20 for a bean burger is ridiculous. What's another one? Because they be taxing, bro.

SPEAKER_07 40:13

I don't want to name all of them. They be taxing. Romeo's is late um less expensive. They are, but but they less expensive. Okay, we know that vegan foods are gonna be more definitely more expensive than getting artificial fake chicken tenders from McDonald's.

SPEAKER_02 40:30

Like the healthy shit is expensive. Yes, but the shit that's not good for you is the shit that we can afford. And that that that shit go back down to generations, go back down to black folk, black folks getting getting food stamps. We can only afford the shit that that that we can afford. And then that food can cause things like autism, can cause cancers, can cause you know, all that type of stuff.

SPEAKER_07 40:55

So it's unfortunate that a lot of people don't even have the funds to eat healthy. However, I mean it's okay. Let me take that back. It's it's expensive to eat healthy, but it's more expensive to eat junk. Because guess what? Your health is gonna come back to you.

SPEAKER_02 41:20

And that shit gonna cost. If you if you're in America, that shit's gonna cost you.

SPEAKER_07 41:23

That shit's gonna cost. So I don't wanna say isn't that isn't I don't want to say that it's too expensive to eat healthy because shit. Honestly, if you're gonna if you be being real, you go in the produce section and you stay in that bitch, you're not gonna spend too much. You're not gonna spend as much as you will once you go through that snack owl, and once you go to the you know, the meat owls and all that stuff. Like, you stay in that produce section, get your fruits and veggies. Okay, if you want a protein, get your proteins and stick the fruits and veggies, you're gonna spend less money.

SPEAKER_02 41:55

Um for for sure. But you know, it start with the person though, because like it's somebody I it's somebody I know that um they got diabetes. They they're not gonna change the way they eat, they can't stand vegetables. They they they still be eating snacks, cookies, all that. They say as long as they got their insulin, they're gonna eat what they want to eat, they gonna do what they want to do. And they dependent on that insulin instead of eating better or eating healthier. It's like they're like, nah, I'm good. I'm gonna just keep eating what I want to eat. Yeah, I'm gonna keep eating bad.

SPEAKER_07 42:26

Yeah, and I mean that's people's choices.

SPEAKER_02 42:31

That but that's it's crazy that you even got that mindset. Like about it.

SPEAKER_07 42:34

Yeah, it is crazy because it's I think people get to a point that they're kind of like give up uh YOLO, but I don't want to be YOLO when it comes to my health and when it comes to my life. Shit, I'm trying to be here for a long time. I know we be playing around saying, you know, I'm I'm here for a good time, not a long time. Well, what that ain't nobody say that when you hear the 20-year-olds and the 30-year-olds and the young 40 year olds pass away from health stuff. Ain't nobody saying, well, at least they're here for a good time. No, we want to be here for a long time, to be honest.

SPEAKER_02 43:07

We really do. Yeah, man. That's why folks is meditating in coffins now.

SPEAKER_07 43:12

And uh, yeah, that's why they meditate in coffins. We gotta find peace somehow. Somehow. And ain't no food, ain't no uh McDonald's and whole bunch of this fake artificial processed food.

They don't know boundaries, don't know what they think. You can't train a damn cat. So I know if you got a cat, the shit ain't trained. They they just they belong in the damn wild. So, you know, I I got some I know some people with cats, you know, I ain't judging them, but you know, it's a little red flag.

SPEAKER_07 49:10

Well, a second day, I thought you was the spokes uh spokesperson for the Ku Klux Klan. They belong in the damn wild.

SPEAKER_02 49:17

That do sound like some shit they would say and the Ku Klux Klan probably got cats and we'd be at a hundred. Listen, I don't know, bro. Cats is weird, bro. I mean, I I'm and and I know y'all gonna grill me for that. I know. And I I got I got homies with cats. I got I You got a homie with cat? I do, I ain't got no girl. I got a homie with a cat, but you got a girl?

SPEAKER_07 49:41

Ain't no way he'll get away. I don't know. He's single.

SPEAKER_02 49:42

And then and then my sister got a cat.

SPEAKER_07 49:44

That's how you don't know.

SPEAKER_02 49:45

And I talk shit about her cat all the time because the cat be wildin'. Run I remember the cat was over here running around like it sounds like the cat gave you anxiety just a little bit.

SPEAKER_07 49:54

That's uh that's why I'm hearing. But you know what? This conversation ain't about to do it.

SPEAKER_02 49:57

Yeah, that's not a that's not an emotional support animal. I'm gonna let you know right now. Cats is not okay.

SPEAKER_07 50:01

So a f chicken is, but it's when it goes to the cats, it's just no.

SPEAKER_02 50:05

At least the chicken arc gonna scratch a damn face off. And you can probably cook that bitch.

SPEAKER_07 50:09

A chicken is gonna fucking on your face.

SPEAKER_02 50:12

You can cook that bitch.

SPEAKER_07 50:13

Okay, whatever. We're talking about dogs here. Dogs, is it a red flag for somebody to not like dogs? Because you know, we all know, you know, we all know there's a certain people out there that is very, very, very, very, very fond of dogs. Like, I feel like if I go to my job to this day and be like, I don't like dogs, they're gonna look at me like I am the worst person in the world. One of my mom, one of uh my co-workers at my job said to me maybe like a year ago or so, I for some reason I brought up that I actually have a dog. She said, tell you, I didn't know you would have a dog. You know, most dog owners actually talk about their dog, like you, you know their dog, and they show you right when right when you meet them. They're always talking about their dog. I'm I'm first off thinking why I gotta tell you about my life. But then the second thing I'm thinking is, why the hell am I gonna come here and just start talking about my damn dog?

SPEAKER_02 51:12

They do be like that. Like I was like I was telling you before, I was talking uh to a co-worker, you know, how you gotta do to introduce yourself, like, yeah, I'm from Charlotte, all that, all right, cool. I told her, Yeah, I just I got married not too long ago, going on two years together. And and told her I had a dog. She said, if F or everything else, how old is your dog? Like, damn. So forget my wife, forget all that. Forget your wife, forget the article. How old is your dog?

SPEAKER_05 51:38

How's your dog? Like, damn. Well, I mean, she sleep. I'm pretty sure she sleep at the crib.

SPEAKER_02 51:43

But see, they don't understand, again, going back to history. They used to sick dogs on black folks.

unknown 51:53

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 51:53

So, like, it's not a surprise why why uh some of us may not be fond of dogs.

SPEAKER_07 52:00

And I mean, us here in the western um hemisphere, like, we we treat dogs way different than so so many other parts of the world. Like them islanders, like many parts of the world, we treat dogs like they this is domestication.

SPEAKER_02 52:17

Domesticate them.

SPEAKER_05 52:17

This is family, yeah.

SPEAKER_07 52:19

Like that's how we treat dogs here. So if you say that you don't like dogs, like people will literally look at you like you is crazy, and like I'm one of those people that, yeah, I got a dog, and I'm cool with dogs. Dogs is cool, but I ain't gonna lie, I don't care about your dog.

SPEAKER_02 52:37

Yeah, I I truly. See, half the time you don't care about your own damn dog.

SPEAKER_07 52:41

Hey, that's not for them to know. I do care about her, but I got a lot of stuff in my mind, okay? I got a lot of stuff I care about. But if you want to talk to me 20 minutes about your dog, I'm gonna lie, oh, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. If you talk to me 20 minutes about your dog, honestly, who's the crazy one? Is it me or is it you?

SPEAKER_02 53:07

And them be gonna them gonna be the first ones, like when a zombie disease comes around, them gonna be the first ones. Them them people that be talking about their dogs between me, because they probably be kissing their dogs in the mouth after the dog done licked they booty in privacy. They probably was just in heat, was licking all up in there, and then the dog run out into the street.

SPEAKER_07 53:25

It's the zombie apocalypse, the zombie get the dog. No, Roger!

SPEAKER_02 53:30

Hey, I'm I'm kind of holding on to my dog for that very reason.

SPEAKER_07 53:33

It's me, Roger. You fighting against the zombie trying to try to get get the damn dog.

SPEAKER_02 53:38

I'm talking about my dog is gonna be the ultimate sacrifice.

SPEAKER_03 53:42

Delilah, go get them.

SPEAKER_05 53:44

Nah, I think we're gonna have to cut that one out. Oh, my fault. Peter is gonna be on your body.

SPEAKER_02 53:49

My fault, but it's zombies, Peter. It's zombies.

SPEAKER_05 53:52

It's zombies. That ain't real. But if it was real.

SPEAKER_02 53:57

Come on to it.

SPEAKER_05 53:58

I ain't gonna go first.

SPEAKER_02 54:01

I'm gonna just let my dog protect me.

SPEAKER_05 54:03

Self-preprivation.

SPEAKER_02 54:05

You know what I mean? Okay. Survival of the fittest, man.

SPEAKER_05 54:07

Survival of the fittest. Shit. You ain't even gonna be here. Dog and dog. The dog will be trying to save the animals and they gonna get your ass. So who's gonna have the last laugh?

SPEAKER_02 54:16

Mm-hmm.

SPEAKER_07 54:17

You do. You put the dog away. But but or you just don't invite them to your house.

SPEAKER_02 54:22

It's in the DNA, man. It's in the same reason why we born knowing, like, don't we we gonna rock with the police? It's like it's just in the DNA. It's like that, it's just instilled in us. It's still in us. It's instilled in us. Culturally. We was we was we was dogs biting in in folks' ass getting sprayed by water hoses now. All people don't like to swim. It's like the shit is like a trickle-down effect.

SPEAKER_07 54:48

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 54:49

And they wanted to say that shit don't matter. That shit don't affect us.

SPEAKER_07 54:52

Speaking of sw yeah, that's deep. I mean, there's so many of us who actually there was so many thousands of Africans who jumped off to the slave ships just because they wanted to free themselves from uh traveling those thousands of miles all the way here um to the Caribbean and to um Americ the Americas and sacrificed themselves, committed suicide just to not to be enslaved, and still to this day, us motherfuckers, we do not a majority of us do not do the water, the ocean, all that stuff, and I don't think that's a coincidence.

SPEAKER_02 55:33

I was I was reading some damn I this is so off topic, but when when that was happening, I don't know where I was reading this, but the the because you know they was throwing dead bodies off the boat too, yeah, yeah, and that shit was disrupting the ecosystem in the ocean, and I mean sharks was eating the the dead bodies, some of the dead pods was decomposing and it was just fucking shit up in the ocean. I just thought that was interesting. Um, but yeah, you can see.

SPEAKER_07 56:00

Yeah, sorry, it's it's crazy. So I think a lot of that stuff is linked um linked in us, whether we know it or not. That's all so for this year and a segment with TJ, if somebody don't like a yo dog or just dogs in general, don't look at them like they're crazy. Look at them like a protector for the human race.

SPEAKER_02 56:24

If they like cats, then you might need to watch that.

SPEAKER_07 56:26

And if they like chickens, bring the fryer. Fry that bitch up.

SPEAKER_02 56:35

That's a big ass chicken too.

SPEAKER_07 56:38

And but this year and I segment with TJ, it is gonna be a naop doop doop doop doop doop. That was good. That was good, that was real good.
