Mind-Blowing Science: Decoding Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory

Prepare to have your brain twisted and turnt as we dive deep into the wild, wonderful world of Orchestrated Objective Reduction Theory—aka OR-OR theory!

Your co-hosts, Shayne and Jay, delve into the quantum mechanics of consciousness, illuminating how tiny particles can exist in multiple states and how our brains orchestrate this cosmic dance into a conscious experience.

They break down Penrose and Hameroff’s theory and even question if consciousness is confined to the human brain. Whether you're a science nerd or just curious about how your noggin works, this episode will keep you hooked and make you ponder life's big questions—like, does a falling tree still make a sound if no one's there to hear it?

Tune in for a mind-expanding journey filled with laughs, toasts, and a whole lot of brainy banter!

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
