Just Two Dudes Talking To The Universe. And It Answers!

What happens when you start talking to God—not from a place of fear, but from a place of love?

In this powerful and honest segment, Michael and Spanish open up about how their relationship with God (or the universe, source, energy—whatever name works for you) has changed over time. Spanish shares how he first reached out in a dark moment, while Michael describes his connection as something pure and ongoing. The two explore what it means to feel that loving presence every day, and how hard it can be when that presence starts asking something from you in return.

If you've ever wrestled with the idea of letting go of pain, or felt like your past was too heavy to release, this one's for you. We talk real spirituality—not religion—and how connecting with something higher can both lift you up and challenge you to grow.

Whether you're deep in your own spiritual journey or just trying to figure out what the hell is going on with your life, this episode is a safe space for that conversation.

✅ Key Takeaways
You can start talking to God (or a higher energy) from any place—pain or peace—and both are valid.

That presence is always with you, not just when you pray.

The energy of God/love may start asking you to change—and that’s where the real challenge begins.

Holding onto past pain can feel like identity, but letting go is where healing lives.

Real connection with something higher often means facing yourself, even the parts you want to avoid.
