Hey guys, welcome back to another week of Live in Our Crazy Life podcast. It's Olivia. - And Megan, and today we're going to talk about moments that all turn our brain chemistry. Okay, we don't really know exactly what that term means, but we've seen this trend and... - I've seen what it means. I just showed up before we started the video. - What? What does it mean? - It means something they experienced or encountered had a profound impact on them causing a significant shift in their emotions, thoughts, or perspective. Lots of shit, guys. - So I've seen this trend going around on social media where it's moments that altered my brain chemistry, so let's just discuss what did that for us. Okay, so a big moment that I can just think of was that she just reminded me of actually was getting arrested. So, believe it or not, we have actually been arrested before. - Handcups, in a cell, all that. That was when we were in grade 10, I think it was grade 10. We went to the mall and we did a wee tad little bit of shoplifting. And we actually ended up getting arrested, so it was in... - It wasn't the getting arrested that was brain autism. - No, it was being in the cell for nine hours. - It was being in the cell for nine hours and we hadn't eaten. - Because they were a low-class grade if they didn't care. They left us there because there was a shooting somewhere else in the city, so they just left us in the cells. - The cops came and was like, "This is a waste of my time. I can't believe it." We saw one thing. The guy who arrested us was an undercover guy, and then he literally was like... He put us in the cells and then he got food, he knew we were hungry, and he's eating it. - He left our doors on purpose. - He opened the cell doors just so we could see him eat. And that's what changed our brain chemistry, I think. - If I'm using the term. - Yes, yes. So we haven't stolen since, I guess, the justice system sort of works. They win, okay? They win. But that was a crazy experience. I definitely am not the same after that whole cell situation. - My nose started bleeding. - I have a huge secret to expose right now, okay? This is a very big beauty store, very well-known beauty store. That's against animal testing. They had cages of bunnies in the back of their store. - Exactly. We should have used that again, some of them could have been out of here. - We could have ran away. Okay, guys, we were down in the escalators, and then he comes up and says, "You need to come with me." Although you could be a rapist for all I know, and I followed you. - We should have ran away, and then we walked up the escalator. - Why did we fall into the back room, and we sat there for nine hours, and then went to the cell. - No, we didn't sit in there for nine hours. - We sat in there for like four, and then we moved to the cell for nine hours. - We were holding hands in the car like this, shaking, because we didn't get to sleep. - We carpooled. - You were mama in the front seat with him, no? - And my mom, wait, where's my mom? In the back, where's my sister like shaking? - Guys, that's brain altered after what happened. - Yeah, we were grounded for a very long time. That was funny. This is probably one of my biggest brain-altering moments, and I am sharing this, because I don't really care what happens to everybody. I was playing in the water with kids on a paddleboard. In the next moment, I'm not kidding you for my life. Like, I had two shit, and I'm talking like the biggest shit attack of my life. Like, so, and yes, man, girls shit, thank you. - We were on a beat strip, and could you not? The washrooms were close for some reason. I'm like sprinting up the street. I'm like, man, I'm not going to make it. Like, I'm not making it. Like, I need to go to the bathroom at the restaurant. They wouldn't let us in. I'm like, it's an emergency right now. It's like, you know when you have to go, it's not stopping, guys. And so I go to the police department, I'm like, I need to use the washroom. They don't care. It was like, it was going to come. Like, the house that we were at was like a 15-minute walk. I was not making it a 15-minute walk. I was not making it, and I was in my bathing suit, okay? So I go behind the police station, and yes, I pull my pants down. I squat, and I literally shit like a horse. And I could, you know, I start crying. I'm literally crying because I'm seeing, I can see people walking on the street up and down. And I'm like, I'm literally crying tears, and I had to wipe with leaves, okay? Because, and that literally changed my brain chemistry, like, yeah. Anyways, it happens to the best of us. It does happen so many times, not like specifically to her. It just means like, it happens. And if you say it doesn't, you're lying, you're lying. No, because it's embarrassing in the moment, it actually is. That's like, then one time, I've felt embarrassed. Like, that's the only time, like, I've actually felt like fully, like, exposed, like so, like, no, never again. Anyways, yeah. What's like a crazy story that happened to us? I'm not going to say where we were because it's really no one's business. Because I know there are people that actually know us that watch this, but a brain altering moment is Megan and I were indeed homeless in 40 degree weather in a car, not saying where, not saying when, but we were homeless. And that actually, like, put into perspective how grateful I actually am to have like a bed, like fuck bro, like, I, we were on working on like zero hours of sleep, and I was so tired and it was 40 degrees T camps. We literally, we slept in the car and police came to check on us. We slept in the car, police came to check us live. But our doors were open, they were open, we left the windows open. Yeah. But they literally came to check on us and we had like, you can get in trouble for shit like that. So we like, got up, we went somewhere else. It's somewhere that you should be able to sleep and you actually can't sleep in here. Yeah. And we look around, other people are sleeping, other people. There's this old man sleeping very comfortably on the chair and we pick a corner of this, this, I'm just going to say it's a library. We choose a corner of this library to go and sleep in. We set up our chairs, we get hooded on. We're all nestled in the corner thinking like, it's really not a big deal on the hottest day of the entire year. And the security comment tell us, you cannot sleep in here, you need to vacate the premise. So we had to leave dripping sweat. That's how I know that babies do die in cars and dogs do die in cars because like, when you have the sweat beads on you that just collect from just getting that on us, is that how you know there was no oxygen. There was no where to go either, but like there was nowhere to breathe. No food, no water, no nothing. It's literally not even like we couldn't like afford to find other places. Like everything was fully booked. It had nothing to do with that. Everything was fully booked. So anyways, that was pretty, pretty brain, all that was saying. That was pretty brain altering. Yeah, yeah. I'll just drive my ass right back home. Fuck that shit. This is more of a beautiful thing that changed my perspective. So we were at a funeral. It was her grandfather's funeral. During the, or I guess after the service, there was a parade of trucks. So he owned a trucking company. And so all the people that worked at the company, all of his friends, all of the people he has met throughout his life had come to the funeral. And they had a line of maybe 45 full trucks with loads and everything. Like truck trucks. And they were all in a line and the police closed down the streets when we would come. They literally stood in the middle of intersections and had the cars wait for us to go through. And it was one of the most beautiful things that I've ever seen. I never knew that somebody could be so loved. But if it was going to be anyone, it would be him. He's, he was the purest soul and best person that I know. But I just think that I'd never seen that type of care or that type of love for somebody before. That totally altered my brain chemistry because there was so much thought into that. So much planning. We were riding in one of the cars and just looking back and looking at the sides of the road and seeing families standing on the side of the road, you know, taking videos to them. It's like, oh, so exciting. There's so many trucks going by and they don't know the story of things. But I just thought that it just totally changed my perspective on life and death and how at the end of the day, the only thing that matters is who you are as a person, like how good of a person you are. I think that whole situation for me, I don't really like to talk about this much because I still, I don't really understand, but I think for anybody when you lose somebody so important to you, it changes, yeah, it changes your perspective on life. And grief is just, it's so different for everybody. And I think losing my grandpa has probably been the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. And I don't really like to think about it because I don't know life without my grandpa. I don't really get it at all. And I think seeing someone that you love, their dead body changes you. His send-off was, I had chills on my body the whole time. I also like heard stories about my grandpa that no one has ever, like, he was the most humble man. He was like a father to me. I think for the first while, it was very much a blur for me. And like, I, not denial, but more like, whoa, like, I don't even, I don't get it, you know? You don't get it. You don't know where they go after they die. Death, death you can never really understand when you lose somebody that's very close to you. It, you can't ever be the same. And it's not saying that you're not capable of living your own life or moving on or continuing, you know? Obviously, you have no choice, but things change, especially that first death, your brain, your brain does change. And the way that you see life and death changes, because it happens just like this. Every one after that, you know, it's, it's different, but it still affects you, especially if it's like somebody close. When you lose somebody, it's like, they're gone. And like, you're still living. Little things will remind you, on a random day, you just start thinking about them and you're like, wow, like, they're gone, never coming back. And it's, whoa, it's now, it's been since May. And when I think about it, I just, I like miss you so much and think about my grandma too. And heart breaks for her. You never know when you're going to die. You never know when you're going to lose people. It's important to live your life. Because like, my grandpa died and you don't die with all the things you have, right? On his last days, it was just family coming after family, after family member coming to say goodbyes, right? Like you're not going with your money, you're not going with, you know, what you built in life, you're just going. It's very hard to express, but at the end of your time, you have nothing except the memories you leave with other people. And that's what matters most why it's important to be a good person and have good connections with people in life. Because I understand in life now that a lot of people want to build and build and build and they want to have this empire for themselves and they want to leave behind legacies. And I think that to each their own, but at the end of the day, that's not what's important. When you really die is the last time that somebody says your name. And I think that's so true because you're in memory, you're alive in people. And that is real, even though obviously they're not the person's not there anymore, but in the memories and in the feelings and in all of the things that you see them everywhere. And you have all these feelings and memories that you guys did together, which I think is important. But I don't know how to say what I'm trying to say. But what I'm trying to say is that when you die, the only thing you have is what you've left with other people. Yeah, it's the people that hurt after you pass away. That's why it's so important to live life in the moment. Cherish, because once it's done, it's a memory, right? Everything that you do, once that's done, it's just a memory. And I feel like everybody is always not enjoying me too, the moment. And then before you know what that person's a memory in your life, and it's just done, and it's like you can't even think back to what happened or how you felt in that moment, because you weren't living in the moment, you were like thinking about what's going to happen after this. Nowadays, the end of it. And here you are sitting here, what you were afraid of is now happening. And you now have memories, but you can't even fully remember how did I feel during this time, what you know what I mean? And it's just gone. So it's like so important to like live in the moment fully in the moment. Never end anything with somebody on bad terms, or like, if you get in a fight with somebody, it's, I feel like you need to always work it out, because like, I know this is like deep, but like, you never know what's going to happen. And like, you know, people say don't think like that, but like, you have to think like that in life. It's true. And I think it's also for your own peace of mind to just fix things. You know, no one wants to carry everything on the shoulders and have all this anger and resentment towards people all the time. I feel like that's the worst way to live. So exactly, I mean, we've already had to talk about forgiveness and forgetting, but to carry anger and resentment to the grave is taking it too far, because when that person does pass away, you're left with this almost anger at yourself or bad taste in your own mouth, because you realize that it never was that serious, all these things that they did or whatever, it was never that serious because now they're gone. And you don't get to fix things. You don't get to do things with them. You don't get to text them. You don't get to call them. You don't get to, you know, wait five years and talk to them and forgive each other. There's no waiting. It's over. That's a thing. There's no waiting in life. There's no waiting. Like, go and say the things you want to say to people. That's why honestly, like, it's like, I'm a strong believer in saying how I feel in the moment. And so was Megan over here. So like, honestly, go and tell people how they make you feel. Go and tell people that you appreciate them because what like at the end of the day, it doesn't hurt you. It only shows who you are as a character. And if they leave your life, then that only shows them as their character. It will either you either gain something or you'll lose something, but in the end, like you're you're winning your heart is on the line. And I'm a very firm believer exactly of saying how you feel. I think it is so important to to put your heart on the line. Life is short. And you know, it doesn't matter if somebody, if you put your heart on the line, and somebody doesn't know what to do with it, that's that's their choice. I'm I'm that type of person. I'm like a poetic type of person. I will write you a letter. I will send you a letter. I will do gestures. I I would be the type to be outside your house with a boombox. Like that I am that type of person. And when you know, that's just me and other people aren't that and I have to learn that. You know, but I'm not going to stop being but I'm not going to stop being that person. I help people how you feel like it doesn't. It's like I don't understand you deserve the right to tell somebody how you feel. And if someone wants to be a fucking asshole about it, then let them like it just goes to show their character deep down like one day they're going to be like, fuck like what is wrong with me. Sing is with men. And I know like we talk about men blah, blah, blah, but whatever we're girls at the end of the day is that you don't just get to what like hold my heart in your hands and then fucking rip it in half and like for what like where did you think things were going to go if like we've been whatever this is like just in general. I'm speaking like if we've been speaking and I'm vulnerable with you and you allowed me to open up and like we're talking on a deeper level, where did you think things were going to go? You thought things were just going to be blah, blah, blah fine. And then one day you're just never going to speak to me again. Like it doesn't work. It doesn't work like that. I know people say like the closure is them like whatever. I'm a person that doesn't I don't believe in that like yes, a closure is like someone just like stepping away but also like no like you're going to sit here and tell me why the fuck you thought it was okay to do all that and like why like where did you and I bet you if I asked people that they wouldn't know what to say they'd be like fuck like I don't know why did I do that. I don't know I just exactly so hard to be vulnerable to like I am not a person that will just open up and like if you're if I'm able to open up to you and I'm trusting you and like then you're just going to like break my heart like I can't and like it makes me never want to fucking I'm just so off men like I just can't like why am I going to put myself through that you know like the pain that women have to go through when men act their fucking way is like leaves you literally heartbroken and speechless and like I don't know it angers me to be honest. And same thing you know for girls and guys we obviously know they're worse but like I'm a girl so for us our experience like we do just have we feel so much deeper and like take that with a grain of salt but in in my opinion like the amount of heartbreak a girl feels is double the size that a guy feels and that could totally not be true but that's just my thoughts because the thing is is that it's a very complicated situation I don't know how to explain that we're we're nurturers we're lovers we're mothers we're this we're that and it's just built within us to have such a deep love and care for the people that we do love and care for anyways guys this turned into just another rain session but it's true I mean this is this is what has like altered our brain like like I don't fucking know what to say anymore like what else what else oh oh my gosh we I can't believe I forgot this one this is probably like one of our biggest brain altering moments together that we've experienced oh my goodness okay Megan and I were like best friends since grade nine okay and we had been planning to go on a real trip together for like oh my god I can't even forgot this one numerous amount of times and like the she never had come back home yet to visit my hometown now she comes like all the time she like family over there but before like it was so hard to like even like planet because we're just like kids right and I don't know whatever so we had finally it was grade 10 we'd finally planned Florida together tickets were bought everything we were so excited at the time my sisters just started lashes so we like can we get our lashes though we got our nails done oh the nails were terrible but it doesn't matter yeah it doesn't matter we like we like bought things for this trip and like oh we bought matching dragon onesies to wear on the plane to the airport on the plane to Florida yes and like we were so excited and like we're just kids like we don't have that much money right but we like bought like flip-flops and like all this stuff so COVID happens and we were supposed to go on a march break and the week before march break it was like oh you're staying home for a week we were all like so excited right and then it was like no trips and yeah then its airports are airports are shutting down planes aren't going out and to go with this story is here we are in grade 12 yeah two years later finally Florida trips going to happen right we had planned it again we literally had planned Florida and this one was actually it was like nothing's getting in the way like

what happens a huge snowstorm out of nowhere you literally out of nowhere you'll ever see flights delayed an hour flight can't land it's like a not a known airport I guess again delayed delayed delayed delayed we're like canceled way we're like no way this is happening and by the way they're not refunding at this time oh and by the way it was her and I all alone in the airport in the United States neither of us have cellular data neither of us have any cash neither of us have any sort of anything and we are stuck in this airport and this was like maybe 1 a.m. at this time when you dropped your chips the only yeah so also since we had been delayed delayed delayed everyone was eating from the vending machines because this is a very small airport there's not no food the vending machine was out of every single snack except for one bag of chips I kid you not this sounds crazy but I kid you not I had a bit of change I put it in the vending machine and I get one bag of chips one of the small little bag of chips I open it work take one bite and I drop it on the ground on the airport fucking grass no food there was no water no liquids the entire vending machines empty we're crying we're crying because we're frustrated because that's where we were going to go stay there I'm literally crying Nana's like crying and like my pop is trying to figure everything out of course Papa came in he figured everything out for us I had like a American debit card that like they could put money into if they wanted so he was like no we're figuring this out you guys didn't get to have your trip last time this is crazy so her grandparents got us a hotel they got us a room at the Hilton yeah so so again we have no phones no mode of communication no mode to be calling uber to the

kids and two parents hey excuse me like where you guys going like we're crying we're like can we please can we get a ride here we need to get to this hotel please please please we have nothing we have nothing so we literally get in their minivan we hit your ride with these random people in their minivan to the hotel we get our room then and this was never going to happen unless like Papa had and figured all this out mark who is like their right hand man he helps them with their yard whatever like the best guy ever mark mark comes in his car two like it's like three and a half hours four comes

hideies hidey had ordered us like food she took us to the airport at four in the morning at four in the morning she took us to the airport we get on that plane we get on that plane and we can finally breathe this has been years in the making every single time we've tried to go and like in the grade 11 and 12 we tried to find ways to go to not possible so we finally got we had the best trip ever we had the best trip together and now we've been to florida a couple times but that first time florida trip it's a delay something happens i swear sometimes we like to just watch videos side by side and not talk and she comes up with this thing and she goes oh just hold on a second she goes into the bathroom pulls out a roll of toilet paper and she's like go get the tape so i'm like sure i go get tape and there's found it there's her and i up there taping pieces of toilet paper to the fan and then i sit back down and i'm like i don't know what you're doing but like sure she turns the fan on and it starts spinning the toilet paper on the fan and i'm like oh genius so we're trying to swim in it and do all these things and then she gets the idea oh when i was little i used to throw stuff at the fan and i was like me too genius so we start whipping all of our clothes at the fan i felt like a seven-year-old oh but this is the best laugh like this is the best laugh i've never had in my life
