0:00 [Music] uh i may have found the most beautiful news article of the day oh thank god we need some good news man we've been doing too many negative news is it written in calligraphy wow it should be cool that'd be cool how good it is it should be written in the candlelight sands gothic sands uh the first ever scan of a dying human brain reveals that life may actually flash before your eyes whoa whoa i heard about this what do you mean like it plays uh what you remember well what happened it's it's it's sad but kind of cool but this um they were studying this person's brain reactions because this person was uh experiencing some seizures so they put them in a scan machine as they were looking at the activity that person died

0:51 whoa and that's never happened so it wasn't like an intentional thing they were just scanning not intentional at all so they say they've never had a live scan of a dying person do we know if they jinxed it though were they like we hope he doesn't die and they're like oh the power of jinx yeah jinx will get you so they were able to see in those scans that um i mean of course this is just like an inference but like they were able to see that the same activity in your brain happens as when you're dreaming like when you're bringing the lucid state yeah yeah so it's very similar to that but they can't really say 100 that oh it's just like you know but for what they've seen what they compared to it's the closest i'm glad that they made whoever made the human mind or brain or experience is johnson johnson thank you they devised a way to make it comfortable

1:42 yeah what which part death no like just just just just going away it's it's a comfortable ending you know yeah it's supposed to feel like a warm blanket and then you're like right and it smells like we're tired then how come in the movies they're like i'm cold it's so cold so we suppose we're not good actors well actually what really happened yeah just that moment in bart's brain where he's like it didn't work not good actors so are we supposed to cut to like radical ████ tornado footage now and be like it's like a warm blanket the guy's hanging off the tree don't worry don't just be like a warbling or just shoot people in shock like going into their last final shock yeah that looks real warm it's a warm boy i guess that was a really warm blanket is it is it like the brain in terms of

2:33 uh is it just like random like pew pew pew pew or do you feel like it's like when you like uh burn the lint off your sock where it's like oh and everything from like every kind of facet of your brain just kind of like i like the how the second one looks that'd be tight i feel like what it's doing is uploading to the cloud oh ████ it's doing a quick little pound and it goes in your photos app creates like little memories of like of your wife and then or like the the trip you took last spring it's probably the same thing do you think that when you're dying it comes in a ████ ken burn slideshow they make slideshows all the time do you think that when you're dying if you if you're you're you're being uploaded to the cloud but then like you're like hey your cloud source is full you can pay for the plan you can go to ████ help what do you got you gotta pay for

3:23 justice credits you know like how many good deeds do you have it depends if when you were born if you were signed into mediafire or mega upload see that that's what if it's like inception and you get to relive your life again in your mind so that one second is actually all the years up to this point like last the mohicans yeah yeah wait that happens and less than the value yeah it doesn't get hanged in the beginning and then like he starts again he just remembers like his whole ████ thing and then the spoiler alert it's a 1970s movie wait is this the book or the movie yeah i thought it was kevin costner i'm thinking about some other movie though what are you thinking of a freaking looper i think it was avatar nice thank you dances with wolves i was taking dances with wolves do you guys know anybody

4:14 that has had like a near-death experience and they anecdotally say like oh my life actually yeah i have a friend from high school who was like pronounced dead for like i think like a minute something seconds oh ████ do i know him ████ akira sawada yeah oh i know him okay yeah yeah i do know though but can we talk about it for a second yeah yeah yeah yeah we're dropping it as usual let's go back to that luna baby hey somebody in the room knows him me all right cool and we never heard from him again no he but but last time i heard he went to afghanistan yeah yeah yeah and then he was a part of like a bomb diffusion squad or something like that i think we want to know about the death for a minute let's get to something interesting the relevant fact where did he grow hey where did he grow up in the sgv you ████ what's his favorite color his favorite pastrami at the hat is the

5:05 spicy kind no i mean i don't know a whole lot i just he just wrote a long thing about it on his facebook what was it during afghanistan no it was very it was recent it was like last year or two years ago but his um i don't know here's the thing here's the caveat about it if you're a religious person and that happens to you most likely you're going to come back and say that you saw god jesus you went to the light you heard the song of solomon but he became atheists after no no he i think he related most of his experience like to you know god or you know most of those bible stuff so no life flashing before there was nothing like you know cool sound i mean sorry dude but like i think there was nothing there was nothing like supernatural you know it's not like he saw this thing we just lost a subscriber he didn't really see anything new he just saw everything biblical oh okay all i want to know is did joe know the guy [Laughter]

5:56 i do i i will say that i do feel like things move in really really slow motion when you're in those intense moments sometimes yeah right like i remember being in a crazy car accident uh in boynton park one time and we got t-boned i was in the back seat with no seat belt we got t-boned by like a tacoma in the middle of the intersection geez and uh for whatever reason i'm sure it happened in half a second because that's how ████ fast that is but being able to see the corner of the car and you see yeah and then just seeing the glass even from the mirror or the window just like break and shatter and me falling sideways before blacking out for some reason i have such vivid understanding of imagery of that and it felt like it took like a minute for it to happen what kind of car was it we were

6:47 we were in like an old school celebrity or something like that old school car where'd you buy it from shut the ████ up is that cerritos auto square with the keys and man ice this show sometimes man that's why we don't win any streamies asking the questions people want to know the answers did i have a roof rack or not that's what i want to know [Music] that's it dude i'm done all right you say you remember that moment right where were you guys going you caught home yeah yeah you're gonna do that man where are you guys going huh imagine you wake up from a car accident the cop goes what kind of priors you have you're just like just bleeding and ████

7:37 ████ kidding yeah because it's irvine they don't like you i said boy to park so you're in there slow motion wise right all that stuff but is there a moment afterwards where you're like holy ████ it was blackness honestly slow motion everything's crazy and stuff like that there's blackness when you come too you don't well obviously i was still in a very stressed situation so i wasn't thinking about what i was thinking about i was processing what was going on the driver was passed the ████ out and there's smoke coming out of the vents and his foot's still on the gas so we're like slowly kind of doing doughnuts and then my homie he's like kind of is barely coming too also and so i hit him i'm like put the ████ car in park and he like slams in the park right before we almost hit a pole so it was ████ was your body like achy was it like i just ████ slammed into some ████ it was just adrenaline i guess because like the second i like hit the edge like knocked out for a second

8:28 but when i came back everything just looked way different obviously it's just the ████ everywhere you can't process like what was and what is you're just like what the ████ is this and then i knew because we were still in motion the car was like still in motion just like with his heavy foot on it i was just like oh man we need to stop being in motion and by the time we got out we like looked the other car and everything that was going on um i just saw my homies eyes were in the back of his head and he was just like this just out and he had blood all over his face and ████ like that and i had to slap him to wake him up and then the car door wouldn't open this up so he had to crawl out the other side but it's crazy lucky you no seat belt stupid me but yes absolutely why don't you have your seatbelt on because you know when you're done you're sitting in the back in the ████ middle you know when you're cool because you know when you're the coolest guy in school you're just kind of like up on that trying to have a conversation and be in

9:18 the know and stuff and then ████ t-bone comes you just you know when you're cool just sag your seat belt a little bit he wears it around his butt all the way down your whole car you're just kind of outside of it was your friend okay he was okay yeah everybody's okay oh that's not what my question was sorry does did joe know your friend yeah do i know this person can he corroborate this no no no no unimportant to me what's this in irvine we can move on what's going on [Laughter] it does sound like i ████ made up a crazy-ass name
