Life's a REC

By: Bryan Ortiz & David Castillo
  • Summary

  • Welcome to Life’s a REC! Does the title hit a little too close to home? That’s the point. In this brand-new, interview-based therapy podcast (with jokes!), two friends go on a pop culture odyssey to try to better understand each other, and the REC that is life. 

    Join us every week as we discuss topics of conversation in a (sometimes failed) attempt to root out deep troubles, traumas, and life stories from another in the hopes of becoming better friends. Follow along as we deal with each other and discover just how much life is nothing more than a series of Reactions to Educational Conversations with one another.

  • 25: Want Some Candy?
    Aug 3 2022

    Are the Predator movies more than just aliens versus muscles? Do they deserve credit for being more high brow than Morton Downey Jr’s presence in Predators 2 would suggest? And why the heck doesn’t Bryan think Danny Glover was absolutely beef cake in his role? What’s life’s great hunt anyway? In this episode the boys discuss the parallels between the Predators hunt for the ultimate trophy and our personal hunts in life. We ask the question, is the Predator franchise the best franchise out there? Is Alien VS Predator Requiem as bad as we think? BURING questions with burning answers. Once again David tears down Bryan to his base core to claim him as his ultimate trophy. Sit back, relax, and GET TO THE CHOPPA!!!!

    • Danny Glover’s muscles

  • 24: I Must Break You Part 2: Fire Down Below
    Jun 29 2022

    It's father’s day for us and we don’t have a set topic because one of us quit their jobs and the other lacks a parental father figure. So we’re back on Surviving The Game: Work Watch Part Deux. Between Cantonese style scrambled eggs, lots of poop jokes, lots more poop jokes, we talk about all of life’s most important issues through a Twister Breakfast lens. You’d be surprised at the obnoxious amount of sense that makes once you listen to Bryan and David wax emotional about all of the above. Even if David has to get past Bryan getting his Steven Seagal movies wrong.        

       

    Topics Discussed:

    • Bowel Movements
    • No Fathers on Fathers Day
    • Twister (with Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt)
    • Twister (starring Aunt Meg’s Breakfast)
    • Job Loss; Half-Baked Style
    • Job Depression
    • Under Siege (or is it Fire Down Below)
    • Fire Down Below (or is it Under Siege)

  • 23: Magic the Blathering
    May 18 2022

    What is Magic? Is it all sorcerers, and illusionists, or is it another word for something we experience? Bryan asks David about what he thinks about magic, and off topic we go when it comes to the importance of writing, and the importance of watching too much violence as a kid. Let’s dive deeper into the twisting mind of author and Magic the Gathering pro DAVID and explore his lack of wonderment. Grab your magic three rings, pull that rabbit out of your hat, and deal out those magic cards because it's in an ALAKAMAZING episode! PRESTIGE! 

       

    Topics Discussed:

    • Doctor Strange and the Multiverse of Madness (no spoilers)
    • Magic the Gathering (nerdy)
    • Magic the Battering (violence)
    • Magic the flattering (Alan Moore)
    • Magic the fathoming (philosophy)
    • Magic the hammering (Three Stooges)
