00:00:06:00 - 00:00:31:50 Unknown Hey, welcome back to Toke it Out. Oh my God. Where are you guys? I'm great. I am feeling refreshed. Rejuvenated after two days of sleep, of recovery, of the five day Bachelorette I went on. It was so fun. It was so amazing. Every person on that trip, eight plus ten out of ten person. Exhausting to be away from home and out of my routine for five days in any respect. 00:00:31:55 - 00:00:50:39 Unknown So I came home and slept for two days and refreshed and we're back at it. Everybody. So long as no. I have in took it out history. Not sure we're going to get to it all today. Certain that we're not. But, first I want to start off with this little dab. Okay, so I got the perfect pivot. 00:00:50:43 - 00:01:08:40 Unknown Audio listeners, get on YouTube. I need you to see this little thing. So, little topper I got from up from Mead Made Glass. Here, do one of those very cute little topper. His name is Ryan Mead. He's out of Eugene, Oregon. Very cool. I'm going to link it below. Not sponsored, but I did get this because I really like it. 00:01:08:40 - 00:01:28:19 Unknown And he made my, like, candle topper for my other puff Co, so, yeah, I can rip this thing. It's totally fine. Very, very cool device. Very cool little glass piece. I mean, chill out some hit the bike. Very cool little device, but okay, I know we're starting with this, but whoa whoa whoa. Don't worry, I did see bring her back. 00:01:28:24 - 00:01:47:18 Unknown We are going to review it, so don't worry we are going to get to that. And also I did find another dent in the, cotton candy. Lonnie. New. Yeah, you better believe it. And a new you know, we got the Lonnie new sorry rate. So something I did not realize is that was going over okay. Yeah. We have the cotton candy. 00:01:47:18 - 00:02:05:49 Unknown Lonnie. New super excited to try it. Was prepared to drive to Canada for this because I took so long. And seeing. Bring her back, I was like, I cannot wait a moment longer. And right before I was like, okay, when I get back from Vegas, I'm going to go to Canada. I'm just gonna drive to Windsor really quick, pick this up from the Costco. 00:02:05:49 - 00:02:35:02 Unknown They have their, sake. They brought it to the US. So, found this puppy at, I don't hate me. Target is because. And was the closest place that had it to me. I did try Kroger. I don't believe it. I did, we also have the bang cotton candy and the rip it candy man. So I'm going to try the three cotton candy is such a weird flavor because it can be so overly sweet and shitty, but it also can be super. 00:02:35:06 - 00:02:56:02 Unknown I don't know if you if you like cotton candy, it can be very, like, almost light and airy. And yeah, I did rinse the top of all these cans. So, but I'm going to absolutely break it down if I do this. What am I going to do? What the fuck am I gonna do? I'm not sure. All right, we're going to try to use the meat, the like the the finger, the finger meat. 00:02:56:02 - 00:03:19:24 Unknown Oh, God. Okay, here we go. Oh, okay. Finger that. I don't know what to try first. Do I try the Alani and then like I'm just going to open them all up. Oh I can oh I can smell that one is like as strong as candy. And apparently some girl at 7-Eleven told me that bang is, like, politically aligned in some way or whatever. 00:03:19:31 - 00:03:39:32 Unknown I want to tell you, I know nothing about nothing. I saw that it was cotton candy, and I was like, we're going to do this, like little taste test. So, whatever these companies stand for, I'm not endorsing any of these. I'm just fucking just here. Just here to try some cotton. Okay, so let's try the new. Okay, so the cotton candy flavor is super subtle. 00:03:39:41 - 00:04:01:21 Unknown It's definitely like a back end. I kind of taste like the artificial sweeteners. And like is to be expected in these, like, zero calorie, low calorie things like honey nu is ten calories. If anybody gives a fuck, the being is zero and the rip it is 70. I still don't think 70. I mean, this is also a hefty large beverage, you know what I mean? 00:04:01:21 - 00:04:27:02 Unknown Like be sip it on it for a while. One more sip. Yeah, I don't know. The lining was kind of almost giving grape. It's good. Well, like would drink, but I don't know. And I don't want it to have the teeth rotting aspect that cotton candy does. But, I feel like it's kind of missing that if that, like, rock candy taste that cotton candy almost has, leans more grape candy than it did rock candy. 00:04:27:07 - 00:04:55:08 Unknown I don't know if that makes sense to anybody, but I hope it makes sense to you. Sport. Hit me up. I'm here for you, baby. The bang is pretty good. The bang to me is kind of almost giving wedding cake. What's that about? I don't know, so I kind of giving like birthday confetti rather than cotton candy. But it does lean more rock candy than it does grape on the spectrum of rock candy and grape that I've just created. 00:04:55:15 - 00:05:16:19 Unknown Yeah, I don't know. It definitely has that, like teeth rotting taste that cotton candy has, but it's not like it. And it definitely tastes less artificially sweet than the Alani. No, it's kind of hard to try it with that. Like water between did not think about that. She's still bubbling this bitch's cart. Can you hear? That is amazing. 00:05:16:24 - 00:05:38:03 Unknown I don't know if you guys can hear that, but it is still bubbling. She carbonated. So I used to drink. Okay, so rip it. I have to tell you before I try this. I used to drink three rip. It's a day. I'm telling you. When I was like 21, 22, not living at home. Had about $20 to my name every week to spend on it. 00:05:38:07 - 00:05:59:42 Unknown These were a dollar at Dollar Tree, Dollar General before it was dollars 25 tree. Cheers. But it is carbonated, but the carbonation almost gives it like this. Like not rock candy, but pop candy. What is that called? Pop rocks? Here we go. Found it. Got their Pop Rocks. Kind of like a but it's, it's way more subtle. 00:05:59:42 - 00:06:19:49 Unknown It leans subtly, tasting then the bang. The bang was kind of like, in your face. It was like bang. You know what I mean? I get it, I get it named name correctly too. Okay, okay, I don't know. It also tastes like watery for 70 calories. This is so watery. High fructose corn sirup. All right. So this is like not it's not zero sugar by any means. 00:06:19:58 - 00:06:40:55 Unknown Then why is it so like this I don't know it's really watery to be honest. I don't know if I get like a pumpkin, but obviously not because she's still bubbling. So now here's the rating. We're what, ten minutes into this fucker? Ten minutes of this fucking episode is me trying this shit crazy. All right? We're not even going to get to the stuff on the fucking thing, dude, you have no idea. 00:06:40:55 - 00:07:03:46 Unknown I have so many good topics. I have to tell you, guys, you know what I'm saying? Okay, let's get through this. Let's get through this. My ADHD brain. I can't do this. Okay. If we're talking about authentic cotton candy taste, it does have to go bang, rip it along. Now, I know we're all very disappointed. 00:07:03:55 - 00:07:24:33 Unknown That was growth. Let me new I love you so they don't worry. Like now in terms of what I would drink on the regular, it is still going to be the Alani new the bang and the rip it purely because the rip it is not zero sugar and that's like not aligning with my lifestyle right now. The Alani new is just smaller. 00:07:24:37 - 00:07:48:56 Unknown Hey, it might taste like a less like cotton candy, but it hits that part of the brain enough for me. And it's smaller. I'm not drinking fucking. What is this, bro? A pint, 16fl oz, a pint of energy drink. We're not doing that. We're not doing pints of energy drink at a time. And if you are, reconsider. Okay. 00:07:49:01 - 00:08:08:27 Unknown Hey, do I drink two of these in a day? That's probably more than a pint. Fuck, yeah, but at least put it up, bro, because what the fuck? Chug in this when people drink, this is going to shoot seven in the morning. Bang. I know you bang drinkers are out there fucking six. 7 a.m.. Had to work. I pick up my bang. 00:08:08:40 - 00:08:35:13 Unknown Gotta pick up my morning thing in my afternoon bang. How much? How much caffeine is in this one? Tell me. You better fucking tell me right now. Tell me right where. Where is it? No. What one can contains. Oh I'm like man, I'm like Shane myself. One can contains 300mg of caffeine from all sources. 300mg things to drink. 00:08:35:25 - 00:08:55:22 Unknown What the fuck I used to drink? Bang. Sometimes. That's not good for you, my dog. Hey hey, hey, hey. Two of these 400mg. Not saying it's better. I'm not saying that this is better. This, I just it feels like a lot. I don't know why. Why do I feel better about this switch? How many fluid ounces is this? 00:08:55:22 - 00:09:16:42 Unknown 12. It's four less. It's not even that much. Was. This is psychological warfare. This is advertising. Probably would a school for this. This is. They're getting me. This is where I. I wanted to go into it cause I was like, I know you're going to get me, but I kind of know why. Okay. This is okay. Do I like the colors of the bang energy better? 00:09:16:42 - 00:09:34:46 Unknown Yeah. Just because it's traditional, like, you know, cotton candy, blue and pink. This I do like a we have a balloon animal. We have balloon dog on this immediate winter. Sorry. Sucks. Immediate winter balloon dog. All right. We've talked about this for far too long, but I have to tell y'all, like, you guys don't care about this in-depth review, but it's. 00:09:34:46 - 00:09:58:43 Unknown It is psychological warfare. I am one more time hunt going back to it, I don't know, I, I kind of want to be as good. You know, I don't want this fucking tight energy drink to be good. So again, weirdly politically aligned energy drink I don't know, it is better though. Sorry. It is better. So apparently there's another energy drink rain that is like this, but it's just as big as a shit. 00:09:58:46 - 00:10:15:09 Unknown Weren't. No, I'm putting you down here. You know, I'm still going to try to drink the new one on this episode. We're going to try it. I'm going to cut half of this out. Y'all don't give a fuck. That's fine. I totally understand. But I have to tell you this story. Okay, so moving on from this. I'm coming back from Vegas, right? 00:10:15:09 - 00:10:34:18 Unknown This time I'm going on a red eye. So I'm at the airport and I'm all my friends decide to stay one day longer, and I'm like, I have to cut it short, you guys, I gotta go. I gotta go home. I got things to do. So I'm at the airport alone. Oh, down a diva over here, nail wise. 00:10:34:22 - 00:10:52:46 Unknown But I have these, like, long nails, right? I dropped my ID on the floor. I'm trying to pick this motherfucker up off the floor, and I can't get it. I'm, like, trying to, like, wedge it against my shoe and shit. Some guy and his wife or whatever walk up to me. This guy's like, oh, I've been watching you struggle for like 100ft. 00:10:52:46 - 00:11:17:24 Unknown Now lick your hand and pick it up. What? Lick your hand and pick it up. What are you saying? I look at him and I go, I'm not licking my hand at the fucking airport, my dude, are you kidding? You've watched me struggle this whole time. Can you pick this up for me? What the fuck? I was, like, licking my hand at the airport. 00:11:17:29 - 00:11:41:52 Unknown Who are you? If you're licking your hand at the airport, reconsider. Don't do that. What the fuck? We're not licking our hands in public at the airport. I know my husband hears me downstairs yelling. We're not doing that. That was. That took me out, dude. I was like, I can't believe you suggested that right now. In front of a woman. 00:11:41:52 - 00:12:03:55 Unknown You fucking see me struggling? A woman alone. You're with a woman and you don't fucking be like, hey, can I help you? What the fuck? Sorry, I get it. It's the airport. It's like a SAS place already, and everybody is SAS. But I'm like, it's my. My license is face up. I'm like, look, bro, that's me. Just pick it up for me. 00:12:03:55 - 00:12:28:15 Unknown Are you serious? That was. That was insane to me. So when I say stuff, when I make generalizations, that's who the fuck I'm talking about. It's you, brother. It's you at the Harry Reid airport and fucking 10:30 p.m.. That's you telling me to lick my hand after coming from Vegas. Even if I had never touched anything. The airport automatic, everything. 00:12:28:30 - 00:12:52:35 Unknown I'm coming from Vegas in any aspect. Not licking hands, looking. I'm not even like a weirdo, like germ person. We're not doing that. We're not doing that. So that may have just taken me six minutes to tell. I want to let you know that it was worth it to me. It was worth it. Speaking of the airport, I am a and I and I saw this online. 00:12:52:35 - 00:13:15:50 Unknown So tell me that this is not a super original thought, but I did online with that thought very much so that it has become my it's become my own in my own way. I am a fan of elemental space. I am a fan of a space where time kind of isn't real. And like, everybody's not real. I mean, that feels that feels very conspiracy. 00:13:15:50 - 00:13:45:40 Unknown It feels very like you have the blue Aryans, like, I'm not Cody like that. Like we're not getting there. But, let me define liminal space for you guys back to like, actual talk it out topics for real. A liminal space is a transitional area, place, or state that exists between two different realities or stages. So like the airport, it's somebody's 8 a.m., it's somebody 8 p.m., it's somebody 2 a.m., it's somebody like 4:00 in the like. 00:13:45:45 - 00:14:20:06 Unknown And everybody is kind of in their own stage of like a transition of waiting, of whatever. And there is a collective vulnerability in that. I think, and also a collective like apathy for each other. Maybe that's why, like, I didn't pick my fucking license up for me, but it's kind of like, I don't know, it's a it's a kind of instinctual and subconscious understanding when there's a large group of people in a liminal space and let what's another example of a liminal space? 00:14:20:06 - 00:14:41:52 Unknown I'm like, not examples of liminal spaces graduations, weddings, funerals. It does kind of feel like time doesn't exist in those areas like they do. You are on a time schedule. There are things like that. But to some degree it does feel like this is its own. It's very much its own thing. It's very much its own space to be in. 00:14:41:52 - 00:15:05:52 Unknown And there's nothing like you don't go to another thing that's like a funeral. You don't go to another thing that's a wedding. That's a graduation. Like it's all like, God, take a sip. You have four drinks in front of you, slosh and sputter on your mouth. You're disgusting. Online content. The back rooms from creepypasta and the other internet memes that explore liminal spaces, even liminal spaces. 00:15:05:52 - 00:15:29:40 Unknown Back in the day when you were in like chat rooms and I'm talking like 2006, 2007, like chat rooms, like, like I was in eighth grade. Should not have been in these chat rooms type shit, but they were always these places of like there were predators and I knew that. But there were also just random people looking to talk. 00:15:29:45 - 00:15:51:20 Unknown And at 13 and eighth grade, I was like, who cares, you know? But now I'd be like, that is kind of a scary that's kind of a scary, liminal space, experiencing a significant life change, moving to a new city or starting a new job, starting a new job absolutely feels like a liminal space. Like you are just in like nothing is kind of real. 00:15:51:25 - 00:16:22:28 Unknown Like like you are just in this because you could leave, never see these people again, or you could develop this relationship with them. It's weird. It's another one that I really like starting a new job, moving to a new city, experiencing a significant life change. Empty hallways, deserted streets, abandoned buildings or airport terminals. I remember driving through some neighborhood in Detroit that was like super empty, but it was like two, three in the morning. 00:16:22:33 - 00:16:46:06 Unknown Whatever. I think I was like picking up somebody who was like out there. It felt like such a liminal space because nothing felt real out there, because it was so, so abandoned. There wasn't a streetlight, there wasn't a whatever, like this was back and got to be 2015, ten years ago. Oh my God, it had to be whatever. 00:16:46:11 - 00:17:14:12 Unknown It doesn't matter. It was another example of a very liminal experience that there was a I don't know, maybe I've seen too many horror movies and it's kind of comforting here. Psychological effects. One. Is the caffeine driving me out more? I'm not sure. Psychological effects. Liminal spaces can be unsettling because they challenge our expectations of reality. They can also trigger feelings of unease, isolation, and a sense of being lost or disoriented. 00:17:14:16 - 00:17:39:16 Unknown However, they can also be a source of inspiration and creativity. There I am, as they allow us to explore new ideas and possibilities. I think that's also why I like mornings rather than nights, and definitely a morning person. I think because nothing has happened yet in that day and there's so much opportunity to be had. Like it could be a shitty day or it could be the best day ever. 00:17:39:21 - 00:18:04:51 Unknown But if you're at the end of the day, it's kind of like, well, the day's over. There's nothing else to do. I can do whatever I want, but then it's sleep and it's the next day. But if you're in this new day, it's like, okay, when I would live with like a group of girls or whatever, I remember trying to wake up in the morning and like, be the person to make coffee, because I just wanted time alone in like a space that I didn't have any expectations of somebody. 00:18:04:51 - 00:18:29:03 Unknown I didn't have to get ready yet. I didn't have to do anything. But I also felt completely rested and nothing bad had happened yet. What is that about trauma as trauma as trauma somewhere? But, so that's why I really like mornings. Like I was the opportunity. What's another example of a liminal space? Waffle House waffle House, by definition, is a liminal space because there's nothing real there. 00:18:29:07 - 00:19:09:24 Unknown Like if I walk into a waffle House immediately, I'm not real because it could be my 2 p.m., 8 p.m., 9 p.m., 3 a.m. and if you've never been to a waffle House, I. I pity you because there's no way that you could experience the absolute American experience that is sitting in a waffle House at potentially 2:03 a.m. trying to get a chocolate chip waffle with like a drunk person, a single mom, somebody is doing crack in the bathroom, waffle House is crazy, and waffle House is never empty. 00:19:09:28 - 00:19:30:45 Unknown There's always one person sitting at the bar. If you've gone into waffle House and it was empty, you just that that's not a liminal space. That's a time warp because there's always, always somebody sat in a waffle House and they may leave and you may be the only person there, but you've taken that place. You've then, you know, checked in, you've clocked into that liminal space. 00:19:30:50 - 00:19:51:23 Unknown Okay. Anyways, I'll stop going on about this, but get you to waffle House. Okay. That shit is tight. I love a waffle House. Shit is so good. Okay, where where are we at with this? I have talked about absolutely nothing for 26 minutes. Great, great. Last episode. Didn't really talk about shit. Not talking about shit on this one. 00:19:51:23 - 00:20:17:29 Unknown Hope you're there. Are you not entertained? Trained? And do you think that the answer with that was, okay, one more Vegas story. So, we're staying at the Paris and I'm like, on the street and I'm smoking and it's you know what? It's no, it's got to be like 3 a.m., actually, because, the club it just got now, like, I think Dres or whatever. 00:20:17:29 - 00:20:39:19 Unknown And people were walking and I saw these poor women in heels, just feet red and beating like a heart, like I could see it from a distance. It, hurt me. Oh, we're sitting and a bunch of our friends going to a CVS, and me and my other friend worsening smoking. And there's these three guys, and they're drunk and whatever, and they're holding their sandwiches or pitas or whatever. 00:20:39:19 - 00:20:55:37 Unknown And then the third guy just like, drops his sandwich and keeps walking, and he gets like a few feet past the sandwich and he's like, oh, shit. Like he's like realizing. And his buddies are like, it's okay, man, you're going to be okay. He's like, he's like devastated. And there's just this Sammy on the ground. We're cracking up. 00:20:55:37 - 00:21:11:42 Unknown And like, you know, I'm like, poor guy. Like, I do feel bad for him because, like, drunk me would also be like. Because, you know, that sandwich in Vegas was like $16 minimum. Minimum where like 25, especially at that time and like check up that price. But I'm like, oh, poor guy. And we're like, you know, giggling about it. 00:21:11:43 - 00:21:35:15 Unknown Like, oh, poor guy lost the sandwich. Not 100 and 20s later does some inebriated man come walking up, looks at the sandwich, grabs it, you know, dusted off and taken a bite and I lose it. I'm just like, no way that this guy just ate my friends like he's got the freshest ground score ever like. And she was right. 00:21:35:20 - 00:21:54:30 Unknown He does have the freshest ground score like that was. That was a good day for him. You know, one man's trash is another man's treasure. And I watched it in real time. But if you've never been to Vegas that that pretty much sums it up. Yeah. What happens? Hilarious though. And I will put the pictures up here as I talk about it. 00:21:54:30 - 00:22:15:49 Unknown So that you can see. I mean, I'll put it with the time stamp. It was it was two minutes later. I think these pictures are taken five minutes apart. They're not supposed to be there two minutes later. And I just couldn't I couldn't help it. So I had to take a picture, get crazy. Okay, so now you're about look in the fingers of the airport, the drunk man losing the Sammy, font. 00:22:15:59 - 00:22:33:50 Unknown Being fond of liminal spaces. What else are we talking about today? Okay, so I guess before we only have a few more minutes. So I guess we'll talk about. Bring her back, and then we'll get into some really fun topics next week. Don't worry. But bring her back if you have not seen it yet. If you don't care about this, see you next week. 00:22:33:50 - 00:22:59:33 Unknown Bye. If you care about this, though, bring her back. Was wild. It was the same people that did, talk to me. If you didn't see that movie about, like, the hand that possesses people and you can see the dead for, like, a minute, and then it kind of goes wrong. Incredible movie. It was like my totally my choice movie, the year it came out, like the movie of the year for me. 00:22:59:38 - 00:23:23:26 Unknown I don't think that Bring Her Back will be my choice for the year. It's just. I mean, how do you top sinners? How do you top sinners? But like, in, it's a completely different story. Just moving on. It's a completely different story. Okay. Elevator pitch to it is, the father passes away and these two children are put into a foster home. 00:23:23:31 - 00:23:50:33 Unknown The older brother is 17, about to be 18 and three months. So there's just going to be a short term foster stay until he can apply for guardianship. And the younger sister is blind. Okay, so they go to this foster parent, the foster parent. Is already, already has a child there that is mute and, shaved head and, kind of, you know, off child actor. 00:23:50:38 - 00:24:20:58 Unknown These actors. Amazing. Get these guys Academy Awards today. That shit was so good. Amazing acting. God, she's got a weird kid. And, the brother basically starts noticing that the foster mom is, like, a weirdo in a lot of ways, and blah, blah, blah. Turns out she's in this cult thing that, like, resurrects people from the dead, and she has a daughter who has passed away, from an accident, and she wants to take her daughter. 00:24:20:58 - 00:24:42:52 Unknown So via this ritual that they do and put it inside, the blind foster girl that comes to live with her and the brothers, like, clock and all this. And the sister doesn't scissors fallen for it all. So it's it's really sad. And it explores a lot of, like, themes of grief and stuff like that. And grief is such, 00:24:42:57 - 00:25:02:22 Unknown Oh, my God, there's a fly in here. You know, grief is such a tough topic because there is no, like, if you guys want spoilers to it, I'm going to give you like ten oh, 10 to 15 seconds. Take it off, because I'm gonna give you a little spoiler for the movie. Okay? Guys are gone. Okay. Skipping it. 00:25:02:22 - 00:25:27:11 Unknown All right. So they never actually bring her back at the end. The ritual, like, doesn't work. She doesn't go through with it. Whatever. Because at the end of it, there is no resolution to grief, you know what I mean? Like, there's not a you don't stop grieving a person a certain amount of time. Like time kind of heals all wounds, but at time just helps you grow around the grief. 00:25:27:16 - 00:25:51:55 Unknown But that grief doesn't go away, and you never stop hurting that that person is gone. You know, you just kind of, you know, go around it. And I think the problem was that the mom, she was so fixed, like she couldn't she couldn't grow around it. She couldn't grow past the grief or the grief consumed her, and it consumed her thoughts of getting her daughter back. 00:25:52:04 - 00:26:17:11 Unknown And it's really sad, like it's a it's a really sad ending. It's not it's not a happy ending. Just like a 24. You think like your favorite character will die 100%. And then there is also like some happy endings that like, again, another spoiler. One, two three. The, little boy, he, ends up coming back and like, being found and being possessed. 00:26:17:11 - 00:26:44:09 Unknown Basically, and whatever, but also, go away bug. But I guess the lesson with him is like, your grief can affect others to the point of of permanently affecting them, you know what I mean? And people who were innocent to that grief and whatever, you can really impact people with your hurt if you don't learn to grow around it, you know, and maybe I'm maybe I'm thinking a little too deeply with it and stuff. 00:26:44:09 - 00:27:05:07 Unknown Maybe I'm thinking, you know, a little too literally with grief and whatever. Anyways, it was a really good movie. I would give it acting alone, nine out of ten, whole movie and story as a whole, probably eight out of ten. It wasn't the most original of movies. Like, you could compare it to a lot of other horror movies. 00:27:05:07 - 00:27:26:20 Unknown Pet Cemetery, Frankenstein I mean, you could compare it to a lot, but it is if you are grieving. It is a interesting take on it. On on grief itself. How long have you been talking for? 35 minutes. Yeah, I think it's pretty good, I think. I think I'll give you guys like a 30 minute episode this week. Next week, next week. 00:27:26:31 - 00:27:44:51 Unknown Follow me as I get ordained because I am, marrying my two best friends, so that's really cool. But anyways, tell your weird uncle about me. Maybe I'll invite him to the wedding. Maybe I can marry your weird uncle. Let's go. I'm going to marry your weird uncle. Let's go. So tell him about me so he can. 00:27:44:51 - 00:27:53:39 Unknown We can, get together and I can star in that wedding. Whatever. Okay, that didn't make any sense. I will see you guys next week.
