We got a couple of ladies coming in as well.
But I'm here with my left hand man because he's

(02:05):
Rivera and then me, Hey, what's up. Yes, it's good morning.
It's a Friday. We're gonna kick off your weekend. We're

we're not gonna talk about today. Kiss wrestling bands over
forty five years. Uh, bars with flags in them that
(02:26):
I'm not gonna go to. So it's gonna be different. Today.
It's Angeline riding in the man Dad hanging out and
being best friends. And I've got a lot of energy
this morning. Yeah, and it feels good, feels great. Maybe
it's I always get a bit of that Christmas morning
whenever we do this, Angel, whether you're hosting, whether I'm hosting,
I always wake up excited.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's like a substitute teacher day.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
It is. It is, And I love the show. I
love when Russ hosts, of course, but when we do it,
it's it's a little more willy nilly. It's a little
more loosey goosey. It's a little more uh, it's just
a little bit different. We do this show five days
a week, in and out Russ's way, and that's fine.
But here we are today. You get me, and if
you don't like it, turns the channel. Don't care. You
won't though, because you ripped the knob off already.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I am.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I don't know if I'm feeling good because of this
or I've also recently gotten myself back into transcendental meditation. Angel,
I started doing it again.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You talked about this before, you like how it was
really a positive experience for you.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It is a positive experience. It's like going to the gym.
Like I know, I know it makes me feel good.
I know if I go consistently, I'll feel better. But
sometimes it's such a burden to sit there for twenty minutes.
I'll explain to people what transcendental meditation is for those
of you who don't know. Basically, you sit down for
about twenty minutes and you just repeat a word over
(03:47):
in your head. You do that for twenty minutes and
then and then you just go about the rest of
your day. You're supposed to do it twice a day.
And look, I'm a big guy. That's I've sat on
the show. Oh I don't believe in crystals. There's a
lot of things I don't believe in, but there's science
behind this. Okay, it sounds crazy to me to sit there.
(04:07):
If I tell you, I get it, I'll tell you
just sit there for twenty minutes, be still, just repeat
the phrase in your head, and it'll change your life
when you do this, absolutely will.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
When you do this and you're you're at home, obviously, yeah,
do you Is there like a spot in the house
that you pick you and you do it or whatever?
The moment strikes you, or do you have a set time. Hey,
every day at one o'clock does excellently.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Question. You got to do it once when you get up.
So you get up, you do a little bit of activity,
maybe start your call for or whatever, and then you
just sit down and you go the end of the
night one. Well, that's the trick, okay, and then at
the end of the day you're supposed to do it
about two hours before. Because the thing is if you
do it correctly, if you really get into that zone,
that meditation zone, and it's hard to explain because it's
(04:50):
not a place of no thought. It's I almost get
like a like I'm going through a vortex kind of vibe, right,
and in the second you think about what you're doing,
you lose it. So it's like you're trying to ride
this little wave. But also don't think about riding the
wave because it'll mess it up.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I don't have that yet, but it gives you an
insane amount of energy. That's why you can't do it
right before you go to bed. So you have to
do about two three hours before you go to bed.
I've made the mistake of doing it right before marketing.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This all wrong? Are you trying to tell me that
if I do transcendental meditation, I can get.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
High a little bit, a little bit. And that's the
thing that so I decided, like this week, I kind
of decided I'm gonna change my life.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Uh, not because anything went wrong. Not because anything went bad.
It was just like it was a TikTok video. To
be honest with you, are you saying it was a
little lady. It was a little old lady. She was
just walking. She's walking down the road and she's like, hey,
you're gonna have a thousand excuses on why you don't
exercise or why don't take care of yourself. Just get
up and do it. And she, this little old lady
was going and I found her so inspirational. She was cooking,
(05:54):
she was cooking, she was cooking. I let her cook,
as the children say, and uh, and I'll say, I'm like, okay,
I'm gonta stop make excuses. So the second I get up,
my alarm goes off. I'm like, we're doing the meditation thing.
I spent so much time learning it before, it's just
kind of a waste. So I sit down and I've
noticed a difference. I've noticed a bit of a difference,
and it's, Uh, it's interesting because a lot of people think, like, well,
(06:16):
I can't sit there for twenty minutes and just what
think about nothing?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
A lot most people in general, I think that's what
the misconception is, that you're supposed to just clear your
mind and not have any thought.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Right, And that's not ever gonna happen. Right, You're gonna
fail at this, and that's what you have to kind
of embrace. And and so you have a thought, it sounds,
it's gonna sound woohooy and whatnot. But when the thought
comes in, say, I start thinking about something else instead
of repeating the word in my head, I start thinking
about my day or whatever. You're supposed to think that
you're realize you're thinking a different thought, and you tell
(06:48):
that thought I love you, and then you send it away.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh you can say.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I can say it in my own head to thoughts.
That's the only time I say I love you. To
think it is interesting and I kind of also because
I watched weapons, the guy said, he basically wrote that
because of transidental meditation. Oh, A lot of the stuff
is just his subconscious and what he would like things
that pop into his head as he was like meditating.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Whitch that is in his subconscious.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
But yeah, deadly but like people like famously like Howard
Stern did it every day. You know, he attributes a
lot of his like, you know, success to things like that.
A lot of people do some version of meditation, some
version of just being quiet for a little while. Yeah,
And as somebody with ADHD, that's very hard for me.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I could appreciate that quietness or the stillness of a day, right,
like what I tried to do sometimes, depending if the
week my weekends work out, Like Sundays, I try not
to talk at all.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Oh, like a monk.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, I try to keep my word like just not
talk at all, you know. And there's been Sundays where
I have I just because of circumstances or whatever, I
didn't have to utter a word all day long. You know.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
That's that's always nice. The people texting in dumb dumps,
did you have to sit chriss cross Indian style apple
sauce whatever? No, you can sit however you want. You
don't get caught up in the minutia of it. Uh.
That thing's a good thing. Like when I'm when I'm
doing it, I notice a significant overall change in my
mood and energy level. It's funny how it works, and
(08:21):
you can hear it in my voice right now, all right,
like this is I heart. I'm having a ship of
coffee is all I've had so far. So it's gonna
be a fun day. It's a Friday. Kylie Blakely's coming in,
Amber Nova's coming in. We probably have a few other
surprises along the way. Angels behind the board, hanging out
doing his thing all day. So hang out with us,
don't go anywhere. You're listening to the Monsters in the morning.
(08:55):
You're listening to the Monsters in the morning on Real
Radio one oh four poor one. You can hang out
with us all day long textests seven seven zero three one,
or join our YouTube chat and you get to see
what happens during the breaks. A lot of time, it's
just me awkwardly staring at a computer. Uh, good morning.
It's Angel and Ryan in the morning. Russ is on
(09:16):
vacation and uh, you know this is the part where
Rush goes, Uh, I don't have a topic, Angel, how
was your day?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yesterday? Day was fantastic for the most part, And then
I got some really bummer newsh and like later in
the day, what happened? Grand Theft Auto six has been delayed?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
But I heard myself happened. I knew I should have
believed it. I knew I should have believed it at all.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Uh And and it's on the heels of I don't know,
like I don't know how often you've played Grand Theft
Auto or anyone who's playing Grand Theft at all. But
what they've been doing with Grand Theft Auto five, dude,
is that they're slowly ramping up stuff in the current game,
getting you ready for the drop of six. So in
the new is DLC that they just dropped this week,
(10:03):
there's a couple of teasers. Guess what we're gonna be
able to get to do in Grand Theft Auto five.
As you're leading up to play Grand Theft Auto six.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Uh, what's up right, nalligator?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You can buy mansions? Oh nice, Okay, so you can
get yourself a mansion. So the rumor is is that
there's this one last like mission of all missions to
be done, and part of it is, you know, you're
acquiring this mansion in the game and everything and once
you've accomplished all this. You're driving out of town basically
(10:34):
m and in the you know, in the background, there
is Liberty City. Oh nice. So that's what the theory
online theory is. There hasn't been anything substantiate that, but
I that seems cool. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Rockstar, the makers of Grand Theft Auto, the whole franchise,
they were supposed to put this game out. This game
originally was slated for release this year. October, was supposed
to be October this year. They famously pushed it to
May twenty twenty six and we're like, okay, we can
deal with that. And now we're all the way down
to November, so a full year away.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And there's some like real like real world stuff happening there.
So what it looks to be is that there were
employees at one of the UK divisions of the company
that one of their partners, and they were starting to
try to unionize and they got let go and then
so there have been protests in front of rock Star
(11:29):
in the UK and this partner company. So they're you know,
they're letting go of employees when the gig the job's
not done yet.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
It looks like, oh yeah, they've been accused of union busting.
The video game industry is so strange, dirty it has.
It's dirty that has. Yeah, And like i've over the years,
rock Star has been one of those companies that's been
able to maintain its level of gaming integrity. As far
as the games go, they are always good.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Whereas I used to be a fan of this particular
gaming company it was called Blizzard, and Blizzard put out
things like most famously, I guess, World of Warcraft, the
online game, but also games like StarCraft and a few
other ones. And this game, this game company was always
known as like being like going above and beyond top notch.
You're getting the best gaming experience possible. They did. They
(12:23):
did what happens to a lot of people in businesses.
The money comes in and then they start to, you know,
take the money. They get bought out by a different
gaming company, so it becomes Blizzard Act Division, right, and
then and then their games are just been ass ever since.
And then you look at the internals of the company
and then you find that like it's full of sexual harassment, bullying,
the employees, all the main developers that I knew and
(12:45):
loved that made the games that I Love have all
left because how annoying the place became. Uh so rock Stars, Uh,
it's gonna be interesting. When you delay a movie, it
doesn't help the movie. Anytime you see like oh this
Day had to come back and do reshoots, that movie
is gonna be crap. With a game like this, it
was such a big, all encompassing world. I bet they're
(13:06):
adding in a lot more AI stuff also.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
So their statement was is like, Hey, we just want
to guy guarantee that the level of play that the
you know, fans of this game, where this brand are
accustomed to. We want to make sure that we deliver that.
If it's if it's chockful of AI, then fans are
going to be not happy of that.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, there's a way to do AI in a video
game as far as like a large language model goes.
I feel like I can have a deeper conversation with
a character, but I can see it going squirrely and
you have to figure that out. I was reading a
bit about the AI they already have for their system.
Now pre what we think of is AI just their
proprietary version that runs the people walking around the streets,
(13:48):
and it's supposed to be super advanced. Uh so got
to wait a little bit longer. I was gonna take
off the month of May. I guess I'm gonna be
taking off all of.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
November this time. And we're already off what like a
five days when you include the weekend, So now I'm
gonna have to go ahead and take the whole month.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, it'll it'll be all right now. Uh. My relationship
has been taken a hit because of video games, because
I moved my gaming from the living room where it
was console based, right where my wife would sit on
the couch and watch. She's She's like, I kind of
watch me play, but mostly on her iPad, but we
would talk and converse back and forth. And since I've
(14:27):
built my PC for the second time after I threw
the first one out of a window, I do most
of my gaming now in my office and there's nowhere
for her to like sit.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's why she wants the couch in there.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
She wants the couch in there.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Ah, I'm on her side. Put a couch at their bird.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
My office is the only space I have in my
house that is fully mine. Well then then that's not
even true, because the laundry room is in there. As well.
It's half of the laundry room, half my office.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You got to move the gaming back out the living room.
She wants to be around you while you're gaming. Dude,
do you know how many guys like that's their dream
And she doesn't seem to be bothering you. She's just
on her iPad. She wants to be in your vicinity.
That is a cool thing.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
She likes to do what is called uh, it's like
called body matching, where it's like we can be in
the same room. We don't have to have to be
doing anything. We can be doing a separate task, but
as long as we're like next to each other. She
likes that. Yeah, which is blows my mind because for me,
I don't need that like as she She could be
(15:31):
in the next room, she could be three houses away.
If I'm gaming, I don't I personally don't care. But
she just likes to be around me, which is which
is great. I guess it is.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Do you think about it, You're you're in the same
space for in relationships. For some people, that's that's enough
in the sense of wanting to be around you, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Yeah, Yeah, And it's me to wrap around my head
around that that's enough for her just to like be
in the same area as me, not disgusting, not having deep,
meaningful conversations, just just in the same couch.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I mean, inversely, she could be like, just stay the
hell away from me.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
But that sounds like I used to exclusively date by
the way before before my wife, I used to date
like people that like didn't want to be around me.
So I've learned. I've learned to like just be by myself.
And so now when I have like a I make
fun of her because I'm like, oh, you're such a clinger,
but I actually like it so much.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But it Oh, but that's not clinging, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
No, I'm I'm clearly exaggerating her clinginess for comedic value.
But she is. She's a giant clinger. And but she's
changed me. That's that's the thing. I went from being
this like like I need a lot of time to myself,
give me space, to more like like I'm I almost
call myself borderline codependent at this point. Like if she's
(16:55):
not around, like when she has like a work thing
and she's gone for like a day, I don't even
know what to do with myself. At this point, we're
like old me. Would I love that old maybe? Like
we're gaming all day, it doesn't matter. We're gonna leave
all the dishes out. No, now it's like, oh, mu,
as well clean the house so she's happy when she
gets home.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And I don't like that version of responsible.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I'm supposed to be a wild horn.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And a responsible relationship. I hate it.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Adulthood is just just still worse. So I got to
put a couch in my office now, which also means
I have to install a TV above my like gaming
station so she can watch, so she can watch like
love is blind. Yeah, well I played World of Warcraft.
It's U so I was kind of hoping grit that
thought I'll be back out because then I was like, okay,
(17:41):
then I'll buy the console. I'll sit in the living
room again with her and that just solves a problem.
But no, nope, I can't push this full year.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Uh, I mean not for nothing. That's you know, five
hunds just to get the PS five.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
But yeah, now I gotta I got a year to
save up. Now what if I made the couch slightly uncomfortable, Like.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Listen to what you're saying all right, what you say
it is that I'm gonna put this couch in there
for her for her, but make it uncomfortable for her
so we don't hang out in the same room.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Like I'm not gonna put like nails on it or anything,
just just like I'm not instead of buying like the
nicest couch.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Rumpy couch, a little lump in there.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
You know what I mean, like maybe like an old
college futon. So technically I've done what she's asked and
then it doesn't need to happen. And that's just like,
oh I would sit in there, but that couch is
still lumpy, and I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, this is
the only couch I can find.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
All right, you see how that works out for you.
Then you're gonna be like, you know, she's gonna go
off and start doing her own things. She's gonna do
the thing that you think you want her to do,
and then when she's doing it, you're gonna be like, oh,
I miss her.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Yeah, shout up to people that know what I'm talking about.
Parallel play, parallel play. I prefer body body matching to
parallel play because that parallel play sounds like something we're
doing at secrets hideaway and I don't want to do
asking if I'm an only child? Technically yes, okay, so
I have a lot of that as well.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Like growing up when you say technically yes, but.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
How often, like how I'm not my father's only child?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Right, So how often were you and those got your
other siblings' orbits enough to know that, like obviously you
knew they were your brothers, but like, yeah, would you
let's say when by the time that you were ten,
were you're seeing them like once a week, twice a
week or was it like a once a year thing.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I'd see them every few months. But they're so much
older than me, right right, right, you know, like they're
twenty twenty five, thirty years older than me. So like people,
I hate the caveat people, are you're an only child?
I didn't have to agree, like, well, technically yes, but
here's the backstory of my life and here we go.
But now, so my brothers are more like, well there
(20:00):
are my brothers, I guess familiarly you look at them
more like uncles, right, fun uncles, right, who all got
to live with my dad? And people are like, don't
you wish you lived with your dad? And from the
stories my brothers have, I think I dodged a major bullets. Well,
I did love my dad, God rest his soul. You
think I'm a lot angel.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Hanging out with what are your brothers? Imagine that? I gotcha? Yeah,
but that's kind of like so kind of in my world.
That's kind of what's going on with my two daughters.
They're about fifteen years apart, and you know, thankfully so
they have a pretty strong relationship, you know, which is
(20:45):
something that I always wanted in the sense of because
with my oldest I wasn't I wasn't present the way
that I should have been, and you know, just grace
of God and whatnot, I got an opportunity to be
in my fifteen year old's life, you know, in a
way different way. And and I you know, grown and
all these things or whatever. But seeing them to carry on, uh,
(21:07):
is pretty cool. It's a neat thing. And and now
that she's moved closer, they're you know, communicating and touching
base with each other on more on a regular basis.
And so for me on the outside looking at it,
watching like that kind of develop and everything and be
a thing, I'm like, Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Yeah, I mean I got to give credit where credits
due to my brothers. They never made me feel less
than right right, Like they would never go out and
be like, people go like, is that your brother and
they go that, they'd be like that. They never went like,
that's well, he's my half brother, you know what I mean.
And that was always very important to me as a
kid growing up because it's, you know, family. I never
(21:46):
viewed it any differently, but there were some people on
that side of the family and they'd be like, wow,
this is this is Frank's like four son, you know,
he's like the odd one out, you know, and they
would kind of do that. I was like, all right,
we're cousin that I barely know, and you're making clear
that I'm kind of not related to you.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
You don't want to be related, all right, but like
get out of my face.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
And I think that, like, and I've seen that done
to people and it makes me so sad when they
when they have to break down like, oh, yeah, well
this is actually my half brother, and I'm like, you
guys are related as humans, we're all related genetically. You're
gonna break it down even more like it always made
it sad for me. You never had step stepbrothers.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Though, No, no, no, no, no, the only no, no, there's
always been the three of us. The only time I
ever experienced something like that, And like it's one of
the conversations like I don't think I've ever had or
followed through with my father. So my father found out
he had stepbrothers, but the day that he found out
(22:48):
was the day that he was burying his dad.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Oh's secret family.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yes, so Grandpa got around in PR and so.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
We're really step brothers or half brothers. I'm sorry, yeah,
half brothers. Yeah, so you have like a whole secret
family that you're related to too.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, but I don't know, like the only time I've
ever seen this guy ever, right, And it was uh
uh it was Grandpa's funeral, and uh we're all there
and everything and like the like the day of and
NPR like they do, you know, they do these things.
I think if I say, uh, belodios, belodios. So there's
(23:26):
a so there's a ceremony and then they have the
coffin at the home and then for a couple of
days there you do these like nightly kind of ceremonies.
People bring food, to the house with the body and
the body dude, Yeah I was. I was at my
grandma's house for a week with Grandpa's body in the
living room. Yes, whoa wow, yeah, or you know what,
(23:47):
it could have been just a few days. In my mind,
it seemed like a week and I seem like I
remember distinctly like one of my uh you know, uh
toys or something like bouncing off the side of the coffin.
It was. It was just messed up.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
But the day that is that is.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Imagery ever wow, the final it was either the first
day or the final day of the Belodio. I remember
we're all sitting there and this guy who appears to
be about my dad's age, but he's all in uh
Marine Corps dress, and he comes into the comes in
(24:25):
and everything. Him and my dad had some words at
the door and everything. Grandma was there, whatever, you know.
The man comes in, goes to the coffin, says these
things or whatever, and me, it's me and my brother
and sister. We're all just like what is like, you know,
just big, I said, and we're like not like not
(24:45):
comprehending in it. And I remember like, Mom are leaning
into us and be like that's your dad's brother or
half brother or so she said something like that, like
because we're all like, who is this guy?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Why?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Why is he just walking in look like my dad? Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. There was And as far
as I know, yeah, I've never followed up a pop
about that.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
As far as I know, that's the only time they
ever exchanged any kind of interaction. And they've never haven't
talked since They've never as far as I know, they've
never talked again, and they never fostered any kind of relationship.
But I remember just being like whoa that we And
then when we were older, like we were in college,
Like I remember my brother and I would talk about
(25:31):
it and we would just be like we finally recognized,
like wow, that was really mess up. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I always like when you hear those stories of people
that have like a second family, Yeah, And like I
was just thinking, like how exhausting that must be because
my one wife is a lot, like a lot, and
like if I'm gone for like like four hours, I'm
getting every text and phone call, you know what I mean, Like,
so how do these people, how do you have a
(25:57):
second family?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Text test.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Because I want to know how you do it, how
is it done? Are you a victim of a second family?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Are?
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Like, Angel, did you did you have somebody show up
at your funeral? I'm so curious that I would love
to talk to you. But stick Around've got a lot
going on today. It's angela Ryan in the Morning here
on the Monsters. We'll be right back. You're listening to
Real Radio one and four point one. You're listening to
(26:35):
the Monsters in the morning on Real Radio one oh
four point one. It is Angeline Ryan in the Morning. Jill,
listen up to cool music. Angel plays the best in
stock music on the Monsters.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Now, Brother, I go through this trying to find stuff
that is remotely or stuff that sounds like something that
you know.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I missed. I missed the
old day, so we could just play whatever we wanted.
But I heeart got a lot of different different licenses
for different mediums. So that's why that's why you hear
what you hear about. Angel does a good job and
picking up stock music because a lot of it's crap.
A lot of it's crap.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh and there's a whole industry based off this stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
That's crazy let's see.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Have you ever been technology shamed? Tech shamed, tech shamed?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, I'm getting closer and closer every day, buddy. Every
time I see a new technology, I get why old
people are how they are when they like they because
I know a lot of techy stuff, but when I like,
a new one comes across and I got to learn it.
And at this age, I'm like, I learned that.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
All right, I'm not even going that high level. Right.
So let's say let's say that you're getting ready for
a broadcast, right, and one of the things that we
have to do when we get ready for broadcasts is
that we have to go out on site. I go
out on site and uh, you know, I have to
test quote unquote the connection the line for the potential
of the radio broadcast. Right. So we got you know,
(27:58):
a couple events, well specifically named out which place it was,
but we got a bunch of events coming up that
we're going to be broadcasting from different places. Right. So
I'm out there. I'm with my laptop, with my MacBook Pro.
And yes, I've had it for quite some time. Yes
it is my workhorse. Yes, yes it's got a bunch
of sticks because it's.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Because it's a Mac. I could never gauge how old
your laptop is, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Oh, brother, apparently, well maybe that's because you would.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Take me with black people, kidding obviously.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
With the trade die. So we're so I'm there, I'm
testing the line, and initially we're having a connection issue, right,
and the house it guy for this place like, oh no,
I'd like you gives me the up and down. He's like, yeah,
it's probably an issue because you have an older Mac,
(29:00):
like ran down my lap my laptop and he's like, yeah,
that's the one. And he did this all of sight
and looking at my screen, Oh, this is the one
that has this process or this, this, this and this
and that. Oh yeah, and this is probably why this
is probably why we're having the issue that we're having whatever.
And I was like, whatever, dude, shut up, Max. Yeah.
(29:26):
And then and then here's the thing. So it would
be one thing if it was just he and I
standing there, right, and I'm sure people this happens to
be friends. He did it again in front of his assistant,
in front of the GM of the place, in front
of our a couple of r aes that are there
as well, and so like the whole spotlight is like
(29:46):
basically I've been standing in front of six people and
They're like, yeah, why don't you have the most modern
Mac to do this? Why are you doing this with
this ancient equipment kind of thing? And I'm like, oh,
you got this guy sucks so bad?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Yeah, yeah, how old is your Mac to over ten years?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think it's yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
So not to also max shame you, but there's a
level of he is correct. Whereas, uh, where the iPhone,
I don't recommend getting a new iPhone every year because
the new iPhone is basically the same thing as the
old iPhone. They don't really upgrade them that much the max.
As far as their processors, the drivers that they run everything,
(30:28):
they do upgrade those, and sometimes you do have to.
You don't have to go new new, but you know,
you generally got it. We want to be within about
three to four years at the most. On a laptop.
What you just look at the prices?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
No, no, I just because so I've done like a
memory upgrade and everything, and it's got a SD driving
there and all and all that kind of stuff. Those
are the little upgrades I did to it. But uh, yeah,
this is a from twenty twelve.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Oh buddy, buddy, that's an Obama laptop.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You can't let me alone. It's my workhorse. That was
three presidents ago.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
He can't do that.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
It never failed me.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
It is I'm on the verge. That's not I have
seen it fail you several times. It is. It is time.
It is time to get.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
What you know what. There's just there's a more subtle
way that he could have done that. He didn't have
to do it that way. Yeah, yeah, now I get
these nerds, trust me, buddy. I deal with this a
lot because I'm.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Currently I'm currently building a Linux system, which is a
is it's kind of a third party. So you got
your Mac, you got your Windows, and then there's Linux,
which is the kind of open source, but it requires
a level of technical knowledge a bit above just pressing
double click to install something right. And I try to
get help on the internet all the time because I
(31:52):
constantly break stuff, and these smug bastards on like sub
stack and these like forums for nerds that like they
have the answer, but then they'll shame you.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
First, dude, I'm telling you. It was it was the
level I felt right in that moment, and was. It
just struck me because I's probably the most self conscious
I had been in forever right in that moment in
that happened, and it just reminded me like sometimes, you know,
back of the day, like when you would go to
the record shops and whatever, and it would be the
record store employees that would make you feel that way. Yeah,
(32:22):
kind of like you know, smug, like oh you don't
know about this, that kind of thing. So I was like,
it was like whatever.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yeah, there's a lot of like helpful people on YouTube
that are like nerds and they're like super like they'll
break it down for you. But yeah, if you have
a question, and I feel bad for everybody, here's my
trick to doing everything. If I have a question about
something breaks on my computer, I could type into Google.
I could be like, here's the air code, blah blah.
What I found is if I type in site and
(32:50):
then a colon and then Reddit after that, there'll be
a Reddit post from like seven years ago. It's just
some person answering somebody else's question. That makes it so
much easier. But yeah, buddy, twenty twelve, twel that's when
we had hope.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's what my laptop represents Hope twenty twelve. So much
has happened since then. I was so he rattled off
a bunch of stuff in that moment, and I was
like whatever, And then just now when you asked and
I went in and looked at Yeah, he really did
nail my like he got a lot of the specs correct.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those guys know, they're the Apple fanboys. Man,
they don't shut they don't shut down at all. But
we got a lot going on today. There's a tech
guy in the news today that did something that's never
been done. We'll talk about that at some point. But
up next, we got trivia coming up. I don't know
if you get the prizes up there right now, do you? Okay,

I'm not gonna go to. So it's gonna be different. Today.
It's Angeline riding in the man Dad hanging out and
being best friends. And I've got a lot of energy
this morning. Yeah, and it feels good, feels great. Maybe
it's I always get a bit of that Christmas morning
whenever we do this, Angel, whether you're hosting, whether I'm hosting,
I always wake up excited.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
It's like a substitute teacher day.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
It is. It is, And I love the show. I
love when Russ hosts, of course, but when we do it,
it's it's a little more willy nilly. It's a little
more loosey goosey. It's a little more uh, it's just
a little bit different. We do this show five days
a week, in and out Russ's way, and that's fine.
But here we are today. You get me, and if
you don't like it, turns the channel. Don't care. You
won't though, because you ripped the knob off already.
Speaker 2 (03:10):
I am.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
I don't know if I'm feeling good because of this
or I've also recently gotten myself back into transcendental meditation. Angel,
I started doing it again.
Speaker 2 (03:21):
You talked about this before, you like how it was
really a positive experience for you.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
It is a positive experience. It's like going to the gym.
Like I know, I know it makes me feel good.
I know if I go consistently, I'll feel better. But
sometimes it's such a burden to sit there for twenty minutes.
I'll explain to people what transcendental meditation is for those
of you who don't know. Basically, you sit down for
about twenty minutes and you just repeat a word over
(03:47):
in your head. You do that for twenty minutes and
then and then you just go about the rest of
your day. You're supposed to do it twice a day.
And look, I'm a big guy. That's I've sat on
the show. Oh I don't believe in crystals. There's a
lot of things I don't believe in, but there's science
behind this. Okay, it sounds crazy to me to sit there.
(04:07):
If I tell you, I get it, I'll tell you
just sit there for twenty minutes, be still, just repeat
the phrase in your head, and it'll change your life
when you do this, absolutely will.
Speaker 2 (04:15):
When you do this and you're you're at home, obviously, yeah,
do you Is there like a spot in the house
that you pick you and you do it or whatever?
The moment strikes you, or do you have a set time. Hey,
every day at one o'clock does excellently.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Question. You got to do it once when you get up.
So you get up, you do a little bit of activity,
maybe start your call for or whatever, and then you
just sit down and you go the end of the
night one. Well, that's the trick, okay, and then at
the end of the day you're supposed to do it
about two hours before. Because the thing is if you
do it correctly, if you really get into that zone,
that meditation zone, and it's hard to explain because it's
(04:50):
not a place of no thought. It's I almost get
like a like I'm going through a vortex kind of vibe, right,
and in the second you think about what you're doing,
you lose it. So it's like you're trying to ride
this little wave. But also don't think about riding the
wave because it'll mess it up.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (05:07):
I don't have that yet, but it gives you an
insane amount of energy. That's why you can't do it
right before you go to bed. So you have to
do about two three hours before you go to bed.
I've made the mistake of doing it right before marketing.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
This all wrong? Are you trying to tell me that
if I do transcendental meditation, I can get.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
High a little bit, a little bit. And that's the
thing that so I decided, like this week, I kind
of decided I'm gonna change my life.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Right.
Speaker 4 (05:32):
Uh, not because anything went wrong. Not because anything went bad.
It was just like it was a TikTok video. To
be honest with you, are you saying it was a
little lady. It was a little old lady. She was
just walking. She's walking down the road and she's like, hey,
you're gonna have a thousand excuses on why you don't
exercise or why don't take care of yourself. Just get
up and do it. And she, this little old lady
was going and I found her so inspirational. She was cooking,
(05:54):
she was cooking, she was cooking. I let her cook,
as the children say, and uh, and I'll say, I'm like, okay,
I'm gonta stop make excuses. So the second I get up,
my alarm goes off. I'm like, we're doing the meditation thing.
I spent so much time learning it before, it's just
kind of a waste. So I sit down and I've
noticed a difference. I've noticed a bit of a difference,
and it's, Uh, it's interesting because a lot of people think, like, well,
(06:16):
I can't sit there for twenty minutes and just what
think about nothing?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
A lot most people in general, I think that's what
the misconception is, that you're supposed to just clear your
mind and not have any thought.
Speaker 4 (06:27):
Right, And that's not ever gonna happen. Right, You're gonna
fail at this, and that's what you have to kind
of embrace. And and so you have a thought, it sounds,
it's gonna sound woohooy and whatnot. But when the thought
comes in, say, I start thinking about something else instead
of repeating the word in my head, I start thinking
about my day or whatever. You're supposed to think that
you're realize you're thinking a different thought, and you tell
(06:48):
that thought I love you, and then you send it away.
Speaker 2 (06:52):
Oh you can say.
Speaker 4 (06:54):
I can say it in my own head to thoughts.
That's the only time I say I love you. To
think it is interesting and I kind of also because
I watched weapons, the guy said, he basically wrote that
because of transidental meditation. Oh, A lot of the stuff
is just his subconscious and what he would like things
that pop into his head as he was like meditating.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
Whitch that is in his subconscious.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
But yeah, deadly but like people like famously like Howard
Stern did it every day. You know, he attributes a
lot of his like, you know, success to things like that.
A lot of people do some version of meditation, some
version of just being quiet for a little while. Yeah,
And as somebody with ADHD, that's very hard for me.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
I could appreciate that quietness or the stillness of a day, right,
like what I tried to do sometimes, depending if the
week my weekends work out, Like Sundays, I try not
to talk at all.
Speaker 4 (07:46):
Oh, like a monk.
Speaker 2 (07:46):
Yeah, I try to keep my word like just not
talk at all, you know. And there's been Sundays where
I have I just because of circumstances or whatever, I
didn't have to utter a word all day long. You know.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
That's that's always nice. The people texting in dumb dumps,
did you have to sit chriss cross Indian style apple
sauce whatever? No, you can sit however you want. You
don't get caught up in the minutia of it. Uh.
That thing's a good thing. Like when I'm when I'm
doing it, I notice a significant overall change in my
mood and energy level. It's funny how it works, and
(08:21):
you can hear it in my voice right now, all right,
like this is I heart. I'm having a ship of
coffee is all I've had so far. So it's gonna
be a fun day. It's a Friday. Kylie Blakely's coming in,
Amber Nova's coming in. We probably have a few other
surprises along the way. Angels behind the board, hanging out
doing his thing all day. So hang out with us,
don't go anywhere. You're listening to the Monsters in the morning.
(08:55):
You're listening to the Monsters in the morning on Real
Radio one oh four poor one. You can hang out
with us all day long textests seven seven zero three one,
or join our YouTube chat and you get to see
what happens during the breaks. A lot of time, it's
just me awkwardly staring at a computer. Uh, good morning.
It's Angel and Ryan in the morning. Russ is on
(09:16):
vacation and uh, you know this is the part where
Rush goes, Uh, I don't have a topic, Angel, how
was your day?
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Yesterday? Day was fantastic for the most part, And then
I got some really bummer newsh and like later in
the day, what happened? Grand Theft Auto six has been delayed?
Speaker 4 (09:33):
But I heard myself happened. I knew I should have
believed it. I knew I should have believed it at all.
Oh my goodness.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Uh And and it's on the heels of I don't know,
like I don't know how often you've played Grand Theft
Auto or anyone who's playing Grand Theft at all. But
what they've been doing with Grand Theft Auto five, dude,
is that they're slowly ramping up stuff in the current game,
getting you ready for the drop of six. So in
the new is DLC that they just dropped this week,
(10:03):
there's a couple of teasers. Guess what we're gonna be
able to get to do in Grand Theft Auto five.
As you're leading up to play Grand Theft Auto six.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Uh, what's up right, nalligator?
Speaker 2 (10:12):
You can buy mansions? Oh nice, Okay, so you can
get yourself a mansion. So the rumor is is that
there's this one last like mission of all missions to
be done, and part of it is, you know, you're
acquiring this mansion in the game and everything and once
you've accomplished all this. You're driving out of town basically
(10:34):
m and in the you know, in the background, there
is Liberty City. Oh nice. So that's what the theory
online theory is. There hasn't been anything substantiate that, but
I that seems cool. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (10:46):
Rockstar, the makers of Grand Theft Auto, the whole franchise,
they were supposed to put this game out. This game
originally was slated for release this year. October, was supposed
to be October this year. They famously pushed it to
May twenty twenty six and we're like, okay, we can
deal with that. And now we're all the way down
to November, so a full year away.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
And there's some like real like real world stuff happening there.
So what it looks to be is that there were
employees at one of the UK divisions of the company
that one of their partners, and they were starting to
try to unionize and they got let go and then
so there have been protests in front of rock Star
(11:29):
in the UK and this partner company. So they're you know,
they're letting go of employees when the gig the job's
not done yet.
Speaker 4 (11:38):
It looks like, oh yeah, they've been accused of union busting.
The video game industry is so strange, dirty it has.
It's dirty that has. Yeah, And like i've over the years,
rock Star has been one of those companies that's been
able to maintain its level of gaming integrity. As far
as the games go, they are always good.
Speaker 2 (11:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (12:00):
Whereas I used to be a fan of this particular
gaming company it was called Blizzard, and Blizzard put out
things like most famously, I guess, World of Warcraft, the
online game, but also games like StarCraft and a few
other ones. And this game, this game company was always
known as like being like going above and beyond top notch.
You're getting the best gaming experience possible. They did. They
(12:23):
did what happens to a lot of people in businesses.
The money comes in and then they start to, you know,
take the money. They get bought out by a different
gaming company, so it becomes Blizzard Act Division, right, and
then and then their games are just been ass ever since.
And then you look at the internals of the company
and then you find that like it's full of sexual harassment, bullying,
the employees, all the main developers that I knew and
(12:45):
loved that made the games that I Love have all
left because how annoying the place became. Uh so rock Stars, Uh,
it's gonna be interesting. When you delay a movie, it
doesn't help the movie. Anytime you see like oh this
Day had to come back and do reshoots, that movie
is gonna be crap. With a game like this, it
was such a big, all encompassing world. I bet they're
(13:06):
adding in a lot more AI stuff also.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
So their statement was is like, Hey, we just want
to guy guarantee that the level of play that the
you know, fans of this game, where this brand are
accustomed to. We want to make sure that we deliver that.
If it's if it's chockful of AI, then fans are
going to be not happy of that.
Speaker 4 (13:26):
Yeah, there's a way to do AI in a video
game as far as like a large language model goes.
I feel like I can have a deeper conversation with
a character, but I can see it going squirrely and
you have to figure that out. I was reading a
bit about the AI they already have for their system.
Now pre what we think of is AI just their
proprietary version that runs the people walking around the streets,
(13:48):
and it's supposed to be super advanced. Uh so got
to wait a little bit longer. I was gonna take
off the month of May. I guess I'm gonna be
taking off all of.
Speaker 2 (13:56):
November this time. And we're already off what like a
five days when you include the weekend, So now I'm
gonna have to go ahead and take the whole month.
Speaker 4 (14:05):
Yeah, it'll it'll be all right now. Uh. My relationship
has been taken a hit because of video games, because
I moved my gaming from the living room where it
was console based, right where my wife would sit on
the couch and watch. She's She's like, I kind of
watch me play, but mostly on her iPad, but we
would talk and converse back and forth. And since I've
(14:27):
built my PC for the second time after I threw
the first one out of a window, I do most
of my gaming now in my office and there's nowhere
for her to like sit.
Speaker 2 (14:37):
That's why she wants the couch in there.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
She wants the couch in there.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
Ah, I'm on her side. Put a couch at their bird.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
My office is the only space I have in my
house that is fully mine. Well then then that's not
even true, because the laundry room is in there. As well.
It's half of the laundry room, half my office.
Speaker 2 (14:55):
You got to move the gaming back out the living room.
She wants to be around you while you're gaming. Dude,
do you know how many guys like that's their dream
And she doesn't seem to be bothering you. She's just
on her iPad. She wants to be in your vicinity.
That is a cool thing.
Speaker 4 (15:10):
She likes to do what is called uh, it's like
called body matching, where it's like we can be in
the same room. We don't have to have to be
doing anything. We can be doing a separate task, but
as long as we're like next to each other. She
likes that. Yeah, which is blows my mind because for me,
I don't need that like as she She could be
(15:31):
in the next room, she could be three houses away.
If I'm gaming, I don't I personally don't care. But
she just likes to be around me, which is which
is great. I guess it is.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Do you think about it, You're you're in the same
space for in relationships. For some people, that's that's enough
in the sense of wanting to be around you, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Yeah, Yeah, And it's me to wrap around my head
around that that's enough for her just to like be
in the same area as me, not disgusting, not having deep,
meaningful conversations, just just in the same couch.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
I mean, inversely, she could be like, just stay the
hell away from me.
Speaker 4 (16:12):
But that sounds like I used to exclusively date by
the way before before my wife, I used to date
like people that like didn't want to be around me.
So I've learned. I've learned to like just be by myself.
And so now when I have like a I make
fun of her because I'm like, oh, you're such a clinger,
but I actually like it so much.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
But it Oh, but that's not clinging, I don't think.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
No, I'm I'm clearly exaggerating her clinginess for comedic value.
But she is. She's a giant clinger. And but she's
changed me. That's that's the thing. I went from being
this like like I need a lot of time to myself,
give me space, to more like like I'm I almost
call myself borderline codependent at this point. Like if she's
(16:55):
not around, like when she has like a work thing
and she's gone for like a day, I don't even
know what to do with myself. At this point, we're
like old me. Would I love that old maybe? Like
we're gaming all day, it doesn't matter. We're gonna leave
all the dishes out. No, now it's like, oh, mu,
as well clean the house so she's happy when she
gets home.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
And I don't like that version of responsible.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
I'm supposed to be a wild horn.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
And a responsible relationship. I hate it.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
Adulthood is just just still worse. So I got to
put a couch in my office now, which also means
I have to install a TV above my like gaming
station so she can watch, so she can watch like
love is blind. Yeah, well I played World of Warcraft.
It's U so I was kind of hoping grit that
thought I'll be back out because then I was like, okay,
(17:41):
then I'll buy the console. I'll sit in the living
room again with her and that just solves a problem.
But no, nope, I can't push this full year.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Uh, I mean not for nothing. That's you know, five
hunds just to get the PS five.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
But yeah, now I gotta I got a year to
save up. Now what if I made the couch slightly uncomfortable, Like.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Listen to what you're saying all right, what you say
it is that I'm gonna put this couch in there
for her for her, but make it uncomfortable for her
so we don't hang out in the same room.
Speaker 4 (18:17):
Like I'm not gonna put like nails on it or anything,
just just like I'm not instead of buying like the
nicest couch.
Speaker 2 (18:22):
Rumpy couch, a little lump in there.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
You know what I mean, like maybe like an old
college futon. So technically I've done what she's asked and
then it doesn't need to happen. And that's just like,
oh I would sit in there, but that couch is
still lumpy, and I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, this is
the only couch I can find.
Speaker 2 (18:41):
All right, you see how that works out for you.
Then you're gonna be like, you know, she's gonna go
off and start doing her own things. She's gonna do
the thing that you think you want her to do,
and then when she's doing it, you're gonna be like, oh,
I miss her.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
Yeah, shout up to people that know what I'm talking about.
Parallel play, parallel play. I prefer body body matching to
parallel play because that parallel play sounds like something we're
doing at secrets hideaway and I don't want to do
asking if I'm an only child? Technically yes, okay, so
I have a lot of that as well.
Speaker 2 (19:16):
Like growing up when you say technically yes, but.
Speaker 4 (19:19):
How often, like how I'm not my father's only child?
Speaker 2 (19:22):
Right, So how often were you and those got your
other siblings' orbits enough to know that, like obviously you
knew they were your brothers, but like, yeah, would you
let's say when by the time that you were ten,
were you're seeing them like once a week, twice a
week or was it like a once a year thing.
Speaker 4 (19:38):
I'd see them every few months. But they're so much
older than me, right right, right, you know, like they're
twenty twenty five, thirty years older than me. So like people,
I hate the caveat people, are you're an only child?
I didn't have to agree, like, well, technically yes, but
here's the backstory of my life and here we go.
But now, so my brothers are more like, well there
(20:00):
are my brothers, I guess familiarly you look at them
more like uncles, right, fun uncles, right, who all got
to live with my dad? And people are like, don't
you wish you lived with your dad? And from the
stories my brothers have, I think I dodged a major bullets. Well,
I did love my dad, God rest his soul. You
think I'm a lot angel.
Speaker 2 (20:22):
Hanging out with what are your brothers? Imagine that? I gotcha? Yeah,
but that's kind of like so kind of in my world.
That's kind of what's going on with my two daughters.
They're about fifteen years apart, and you know, thankfully so
they have a pretty strong relationship, you know, which is
(20:45):
something that I always wanted in the sense of because
with my oldest I wasn't I wasn't present the way
that I should have been, and you know, just grace
of God and whatnot, I got an opportunity to be
in my fifteen year old's life, you know, in a
way different way. And and I you know, grown and
all these things or whatever. But seeing them to carry on, uh,
(21:07):
is pretty cool. It's a neat thing. And and now
that she's moved closer, they're you know, communicating and touching
base with each other on more on a regular basis.
And so for me on the outside looking at it,
watching like that kind of develop and everything and be
a thing, I'm like, Okay, that's cool.
Speaker 4 (21:24):
Yeah, I mean I got to give credit where credits
due to my brothers. They never made me feel less
than right right, Like they would never go out and
be like, people go like, is that your brother and
they go that, they'd be like that. They never went like,
that's well, he's my half brother, you know what I mean.
And that was always very important to me as a
kid growing up because it's, you know, family. I never
(21:46):
viewed it any differently, but there were some people on
that side of the family and they'd be like, wow,
this is this is Frank's like four son, you know,
he's like the odd one out, you know, and they
would kind of do that. I was like, all right,
we're cousin that I barely know, and you're making clear
that I'm kind of not related to you.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
You don't want to be related, all right, but like
get out of my face.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
And I think that, like, and I've seen that done
to people and it makes me so sad when they
when they have to break down like, oh, yeah, well
this is actually my half brother, and I'm like, you
guys are related as humans, we're all related genetically. You're
gonna break it down even more like it always made
it sad for me. You never had step stepbrothers.
Speaker 2 (22:27):
Though, No, no, no, no, no, the only no, no, there's
always been the three of us. The only time I
ever experienced something like that, And like it's one of
the conversations like I don't think I've ever had or
followed through with my father. So my father found out
he had stepbrothers, but the day that he found out
(22:48):
was the day that he was burying his dad.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Oh's secret family.
Speaker 2 (22:52):
Yes, so Grandpa got around in PR and so.
Speaker 4 (22:58):
We're really step brothers or half brothers. I'm sorry, yeah,
half brothers. Yeah, so you have like a whole secret
family that you're related to too.
Speaker 2 (23:06):
Yeah, but I don't know, like the only time I've
ever seen this guy ever, right, And it was uh
uh it was Grandpa's funeral, and uh we're all there
and everything and like the like the day of and
NPR like they do, you know, they do these things.
I think if I say, uh, belodios, belodios. So there's
(23:26):
a so there's a ceremony and then they have the
coffin at the home and then for a couple of
days there you do these like nightly kind of ceremonies.
People bring food, to the house with the body and
the body dude, Yeah I was. I was at my
grandma's house for a week with Grandpa's body in the
living room. Yes, whoa wow, yeah, or you know what,
(23:47):
it could have been just a few days. In my mind,
it seemed like a week and I seem like I
remember distinctly like one of my uh you know, uh
toys or something like bouncing off the side of the coffin.
It was. It was just messed up.
Speaker 4 (23:59):
But the day that is that is.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
Imagery ever wow, the final it was either the first
day or the final day of the Belodio. I remember
we're all sitting there and this guy who appears to
be about my dad's age, but he's all in uh
Marine Corps dress, and he comes into the comes in
(24:25):
and everything. Him and my dad had some words at
the door and everything. Grandma was there, whatever, you know.
The man comes in, goes to the coffin, says these
things or whatever, and me, it's me and my brother
and sister. We're all just like what is like, you know,
just big, I said, and we're like not like not
(24:45):
comprehending in it. And I remember like, Mom are leaning
into us and be like that's your dad's brother or
half brother or so she said something like that, like
because we're all like, who is this guy?
Speaker 4 (24:57):
Why?
Speaker 2 (24:58):
Why is he just walking in look like my dad? Yeah,
you know what I'm saying. There was And as far
as I know, yeah, I've never followed up a pop
about that.
Speaker 4 (25:08):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
As far as I know, that's the only time they
ever exchanged any kind of interaction. And they've never haven't
talked since They've never as far as I know, they've
never talked again, and they never fostered any kind of relationship.
But I remember just being like whoa that we And
then when we were older, like we were in college,
Like I remember my brother and I would talk about
(25:31):
it and we would just be like we finally recognized,
like wow, that was really mess up. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I always like when you hear those stories of people
that have like a second family, Yeah, And like I
was just thinking, like how exhausting that must be because
my one wife is a lot, like a lot, and
like if I'm gone for like like four hours, I'm
getting every text and phone call, you know what I mean, Like,
so how do these people, how do you have a
(25:57):
second family?
Speaker 2 (25:58):
Text test.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Because I want to know how you do it, how
is it done? Are you a victim of a second family?
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Are?
Speaker 4 (26:05):
Like, Angel, did you did you have somebody show up
at your funeral? I'm so curious that I would love
to talk to you. But stick Around've got a lot
going on today. It's angela Ryan in the Morning here
on the Monsters. We'll be right back. You're listening to
Real Radio one and four point one. You're listening to
(26:35):
the Monsters in the morning on Real Radio one oh
four point one. It is Angeline Ryan in the Morning. Jill,
listen up to cool music. Angel plays the best in
stock music on the Monsters.
Speaker 2 (26:47):
Now, Brother, I go through this trying to find stuff
that is remotely or stuff that sounds like something that
you know.
Speaker 4 (26:54):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I missed. I missed the
old day, so we could just play whatever we wanted.
But I heeart got a lot of different different licenses
for different mediums. So that's why that's why you hear
what you hear about. Angel does a good job and
picking up stock music because a lot of it's crap.
A lot of it's crap.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Oh and there's a whole industry based off this stuff.
Speaker 4 (27:15):
That's crazy let's see.
Speaker 2 (27:17):
Have you ever been technology shamed? Tech shamed, tech shamed?
Speaker 4 (27:21):
Yeah, I'm getting closer and closer every day, buddy. Every
time I see a new technology, I get why old
people are how they are when they like they because
I know a lot of techy stuff, but when I like,
a new one comes across and I got to learn it.
And at this age, I'm like, I learned that.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
All right, I'm not even going that high level. Right.
So let's say let's say that you're getting ready for
a broadcast, right, and one of the things that we
have to do when we get ready for broadcasts is
that we have to go out on site. I go
out on site and uh, you know, I have to
test quote unquote the connection the line for the potential
of the radio broadcast. Right. So we got you know,
(27:58):
a couple events, well specifically named out which place it was,
but we got a bunch of events coming up that
we're going to be broadcasting from different places. Right. So
I'm out there. I'm with my laptop, with my MacBook Pro.
And yes, I've had it for quite some time. Yes
it is my workhorse. Yes, yes it's got a bunch
of sticks because it's.
Speaker 4 (28:18):
Because it's a Mac. I could never gauge how old
your laptop is, you know what I mean?
Speaker 2 (28:22):
Oh, brother, apparently, well maybe that's because you would.
Speaker 4 (28:29):
Take me with black people, kidding obviously.
Speaker 2 (28:36):
With the trade die. So we're so I'm there, I'm
testing the line, and initially we're having a connection issue, right,
and the house it guy for this place like, oh no,
I'd like you gives me the up and down. He's like, yeah,
it's probably an issue because you have an older Mac,
(29:00):
like ran down my lap my laptop and he's like, yeah,
that's the one. And he did this all of sight
and looking at my screen, Oh, this is the one
that has this process or this, this, this and this
and that. Oh yeah, and this is probably why this
is probably why we're having the issue that we're having whatever.
And I was like, whatever, dude, shut up, Max. Yeah.
(29:26):
And then and then here's the thing. So it would
be one thing if it was just he and I
standing there, right, and I'm sure people this happens to
be friends. He did it again in front of his assistant,
in front of the GM of the place, in front
of our a couple of r aes that are there
as well, and so like the whole spotlight is like
(29:46):
basically I've been standing in front of six people and
They're like, yeah, why don't you have the most modern
Mac to do this? Why are you doing this with
this ancient equipment kind of thing? And I'm like, oh,
you got this guy sucks so bad?
Speaker 4 (29:59):
Yeah, yeah, how old is your Mac to over ten years?
Speaker 2 (30:05):
I think it's yeah.
Speaker 4 (30:08):
So not to also max shame you, but there's a
level of he is correct. Whereas, uh, where the iPhone,
I don't recommend getting a new iPhone every year because
the new iPhone is basically the same thing as the
old iPhone. They don't really upgrade them that much the max.
As far as their processors, the drivers that they run everything,
(30:28):
they do upgrade those, and sometimes you do have to.
You don't have to go new new, but you know,
you generally got it. We want to be within about
three to four years at the most. On a laptop.
What you just look at the prices?
Speaker 2 (30:45):
No, no, I just because so I've done like a
memory upgrade and everything, and it's got a SD driving
there and all and all that kind of stuff. Those
are the little upgrades I did to it. But uh, yeah,
this is a from twenty twelve.
Speaker 4 (31:04):
Oh buddy, buddy, that's an Obama laptop.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
You can't let me alone. It's my workhorse. That was
three presidents ago.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
He can't do that.
Speaker 2 (31:12):
It never failed me.
Speaker 4 (31:14):
It is I'm on the verge. That's not I have
seen it fail you several times. It is. It is time.
It is time to get.
Speaker 2 (31:21):
What you know what. There's just there's a more subtle
way that he could have done that. He didn't have
to do it that way. Yeah, yeah, now I get
these nerds, trust me, buddy. I deal with this a
lot because I'm.
Speaker 4 (31:31):
Currently I'm currently building a Linux system, which is a
is it's kind of a third party. So you got
your Mac, you got your Windows, and then there's Linux,
which is the kind of open source, but it requires
a level of technical knowledge a bit above just pressing
double click to install something right. And I try to
get help on the internet all the time because I
(31:52):
constantly break stuff, and these smug bastards on like sub
stack and these like forums for nerds that like they
have the answer, but then they'll shame you.
Speaker 2 (32:02):
First, dude, I'm telling you. It was it was the
level I felt right in that moment, and was. It
just struck me because I's probably the most self conscious
I had been in forever right in that moment in
that happened, and it just reminded me like sometimes, you know,
back of the day, like when you would go to
the record shops and whatever, and it would be the
record store employees that would make you feel that way. Yeah,
(32:22):
kind of like you know, smug, like oh you don't
know about this, that kind of thing. So I was like,
it was like whatever.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Yeah, there's a lot of like helpful people on YouTube
that are like nerds and they're like super like they'll
break it down for you. But yeah, if you have
a question, and I feel bad for everybody, here's my
trick to doing everything. If I have a question about
something breaks on my computer, I could type into Google.
I could be like, here's the air code, blah blah.
What I found is if I type in site and
(32:50):
then a colon and then Reddit after that, there'll be
a Reddit post from like seven years ago. It's just
some person answering somebody else's question. That makes it so
much easier. But yeah, buddy, twenty twelve, twel that's when
we had hope.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
That's what my laptop represents Hope twenty twelve. So much
has happened since then. I was so he rattled off
a bunch of stuff in that moment, and I was
like whatever, And then just now when you asked and
I went in and looked at Yeah, he really did
nail my like he got a lot of the specs correct.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those guys know, they're the Apple fanboys. Man,
they don't shut they don't shut down at all. But
we got a lot going on today. There's a tech
guy in the news today that did something that's never
been done. We'll talk about that at some point. But
up next, we got trivia coming up. I don't know
if you get the prizes up there right now, do you? Okay,

Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders takes you back to 1983, when two teenagers were found murdered, execution-style, on a quiet Texas hill. What followed was decades of rumors, false leads, and a case that law enforcement could never seem to close. Now, veteran investigative journalist M. William Phelps reopens the file — uncovering new witnesses, hidden evidence, and a shocking web of deaths that may all be connected. Over nine gripping episodes, Paper Ghosts: The Texas Teen Murders unravels a story 42 years in the making… and asks the question: who’s really been hiding the truth?
