Bob: our topic is dreams Bob: I haven’t had a dream in years

I died laughing when Bob said Monet’s pride in Brooklyn was on the verge of nationalism 💀

When people call themselves empaths it feels like a weird self gratification / I’m better than you / I’m special thing. But people with high empathy exist and its nothing absurd or supernatural, it’s usually because they grew up in an emotionally difficult household and they over time learn how to read their unpredictable caretaker’s behavior and what mood they’re in. It’s a way to protect yourself from physical / emotional harm.

53:54 People always answer when Monet calls and they never answer when Bob calls 💀😂

The way Bob gathered monet up with the Brooklyn obsession is so funny

Will there be gaslightery?

I need a "The one with Kamika: our third member" episode

Monet talking about Miley and Ariana covering Don’t Dream It’s Over is sooooo, my multiverse is so connecting

monet: oh. my. goodness bob we're going on tour!! :D bob: *deadpan* this is so exciting y'all. i never get tired of hearing it ahahahahaha i love them sm

Coming right off finishing Hall 'n Closet to watch this, what a time to be alive 🤩

I’ve had a dream similar to what Bob is talking about where the people in the dream will be recognizable and the places I’m at will be recognizable but the people will not be recognizable to the places and vice versa. So for example, I could recognize someone from my adulthood, in a very specific place from my childhood where I know I wouldn’t have interacted with them.

Harlem native here, back before everything became genetrified we hung out at block parties and would go to each others houses to eat and get some cool air from the AC lol

Bob sounds like growing up in NYC was like a war camp.we for backyards and trees and gardens. And in most of the bigger parks there are bbq areas ...we good!

Bob tried it … Everyone from the south has to let you know .. the amount of times I hear “In the south” or sweat tea .. I can go on ..

i swear Bob has talked about sleep paralysis at least twice before😭 but it's all new to Monet i guess

I love seeing Bob laughing in the thumbnail

Chris Rock had a whole TV show about growing up in Bed Stuy, I’m shocked pop culture expert Bob didn’t know this! 😂😂😂

Bob idk if you’ll see this, but here’s a trick I have found for sleep paralysis is that you still have some control over your breathing. You can start altering your breathing and that helps you wake up

My favorite parts of this podcast are when Monet comes in all high and mighty or trying to goad Bob about something random and Bob shuts her the hell down. That's how you know the sisterhood is real.XD LOVE you guys!

Bob saying he had sleep paralysis made me feel so un-alone :’) . I’ve been suffering from those since 2011 and it’s worse each year and scary af :’(

I knew I was gay when I had a nightmare with Freddy , was about to die but I looked down and said "ew not in those shoes" then proceeded to give him a queen eye make over. I was around 9

I have intense dreams and sometimes nightmares pretty frequently, always have since I was a kid, so I'm looooving this topic. The dream Monet described at the beginning about the car wreck seeming so real is similar to the feeling I get in my dreams a lot. I also have general anxiety disorder and depression so that is probably why lol.

not Bob being pressed that Monet was proud of Brooklyn... but if those celebs were from Columbus, he would also be proud... Bob cracks me up! :D

I can only partway lucid dream; I will be fully aware I'm dreaming and in control of my thoughts, but not fully control my body or the situation. It's one of the most dreadful experiences; feeling so powerless and trapped. Especially trying to wake myself up; it gets me caught in loops, where the dream adapts and I think I woke up but it's still the same dream and no matter how hard I pull it keeps happening like that over and over until I finally actually wake up. Takes a while to ground myself in reality and actually trust my mind again.

Bob! The sleep paralysis is so frightening. I get it when I scream... I scream and scream but silence and just a sense of fear... Its awful I agree and sympathise

even Captain America doesn’t shut up about being from Brooklyn

So Bob warned his mother, premeditated a murder, and executed it on that summer night in Mississippi at the age of 8

This banter is giving me Sunday Brunch Kiki madness. 😂❤️😂

As someone who moved to Texas from another state and have been here from a while. I can definitely agree with Bob I’m saying they are definitely very PROUD.

OMMG Bob thank you for shedding light on the topic of sleep paralysis! I have been dealing with the SP "demon" for as long as I could remember. I've always had a theory that it was from a trauma response, because in the middle of the night when I was younger I was sexually assualted and my entire body would freeze in the moment of it happening. I would dissociate and have an out of body experience almost as a way of a coping mechanism to protecct myslef. SO in conclusion I feel like the PTSD and trauma have been reoccuring through my sleep patterns in my adult life. One time it was so severe I was in a sleeping position where I was faced down on my pillow and nearly suffocated because I was in the middle of a SP episode and couldn't move my body or head away from the pillow. I always have a feeling of dread in the moment as you described and have no concept of time it feels like in the moment I am going to stay stuck and paralyzed forever. Very frightening and it often makes me scared to go to sleep at night which has given me insomnia in result of that. Anyway I love your podcast and the platform you have created for us all and hope to see you on tour live soon! Love a very long time fan, Marcus

Im like Monet- ive had dreams of places ive NEVER seen before or people ive positively never seen before- yet its vividly in my dream. The brain is incredible

In the thick of the podcast: Monet proving Bob's Texas/New York theory 🤣 YES, BOB!! Amalgam houses, workplaces, roads, etc. are everywhere in my dreams.

Bob mentions Columbus every episode of this podcast

Is it bad that I miss the intro where Bob the drag queen is standing on that sand hill in the video where she wears red and gives this look and says something into the camera. ICONIC. & monét, you're good lol. Long story short. Love the entrance clips, never change them! 🖤🖤

I’m also surprised bob is so averse to the spiritual as a cancer cause they are HELLLLLA connected to spirit. Bob and money both being water signs lol 😍😍

Brooklyn may have many icons but is it sweet like St. Lucia?

FIRST off COCA COLA came from Columbus, GA and Chili from TLC lol... next Bob I didn't know you were from Columbus, GA! A hometown queen! YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Monet, I haven't looked at hard evidence on empaths in a while so take this for what it is; a youtube comment. But there was research done that about 20% of the population has a stronger mechanism to perceive change in the environment through their senses, or something to that effect. People nowadays call it "empathic", as if they have some other-world ability as to sense or "feel" other people's emotions (or their own) deeply but the truth is it probably has a lot more to do with a sensitive nervous system and mirror neurons. What I'm trying to say is the ability to "take on" others emotions or sense something off isn't a made up concept; it's more in the personal interpretation of the real concept where you find people claiming themselves as "Empaths" or "Highly Sensitive People" or even "Indigo Children". I, personally, just call it science.

I see what Bob means. I grew up in NY and yeah it’s a very unique experience and his point was made. A lot of people DO NOT go to each other’s houses as adults and it was very selective for us Caribbean kids. When it’s all you know, not understanding it is wild

This whole episode was so wild and chaotic, and the last ten minutes had me dying wow you can’t write this shit 😭😭😭

my laugh has changed ever 3-4 years monet I agree lol

I’ve been in houston for 6 years and bob is correct! 🤣🤣🤣

LMAO Bob saying "Oh... nevermind" KILLED ME

Not Bob acting like sleepovers only happen in houses in the south 💀

monet’s reaction to the e5 lip sync had me cackling

Oh Bob please, every podcast you representing Columbus GA, Clayton County, Atlanta, Alabama, Mississippi 😄

I thought Monét was going somewhere with that mention of "Don't Dream It's Over", but I guess not 😹

I love it when Bob & Monet are sparring with each other lol

Monét is right.. Brooklyn, Bronx & Harlem all go hard for where they’re from lol

In case someone else has had this happen and feel they are the only ones…you’re not alone. I’ve had sleep paralysis. But recently, I had a panic attack in a dream and woke up still having a panic attack. It was like an outer body experience, I was literally watching myself have a panic attack and going through all the feelings, but unable to do anything about it.

I've had dreams where places have combined rooms from different homes or places. Like a dream of playing in a friend's house and I run through a door and I'm in our classroom. Then somehow I go out a window likes it's normal, and then I'm out in my grandma's backyard.

It's funny the dream will look like the place but not, almost like it's a set design of the place

Also, watch " the nightmare " which is basically like a mocked version of people with sleep paralysis and what they see from the corner of their eye. It's effing terrifying.

Norah Jones was born in NY, but did grow up in Grapevine, TX. She did move back to NY after graduation and a couple of years in Denton.

Bob: “you were born in Brooklyn you did nothing” Monet: “yes i did. Brooklyn. The school of hard knocks. You could never” Me: 👁👄👁

Thorgy's ghost has followed Bob and left footprints on the ceiling. What if Thorgy' that's 2nd job is a sleep paralysis saboteur and they were so tired they forgot to erase the 👣?

people from Chicago LOOOOVE to tell you they are

Bob: *doesn't believe in empaths* Also Bob: *predicts winning lottery tickets and foresees the death of his grandmother with his psychic powers as a child*

I always have dreams where two places or people are merged into one. Once we were at my house but at school? And everyone from school was in my house😹

to remember a dream, after you wakeup, recall the scenes again. and a couple of times after throughout the day. 28:20 yes i remember that video lol ariana sang the wrong line and miley missed her line and she said she was mesmerised by ariana lololol

I have the exact same kind of “combinations” in my dreams of people and places I know, it is so confusing in my dreams

They love to gas light each other and I am here for it lol

Kids have similar experiences! It is just that they get together in parks (there are a lot) or kids theaters or rec places-lots of that😊

I grew up in NYC (Queens). We went to ppls houses, BBQs, had backyards. NYC is not just Manhattan 🙄

I randomly have sleep paralysis but when I do I try to talk or use my throat to make a sound . It always works to wake me up

Norah Jones was born in Manhatten and lived the until she was 7. She attended high school in dallas Texas, she went to the same school as erykah badu.

As soon as I heard Bob say the words quote all around the world “, I instantly thought about Raven Symoné playing the song we go all around the world on the keyboard and the cheetah girls one.

I have had night terrors since I was a child....I never outgrew it like I was told I would. My best way to cope with it is listening to the best artist of many generations....let alone mine. Weird al yankovic has a song called "stuck in the closet with Vanna white" it is one of my favorites and not enough people know it....look it up....its everything!

Bob: "there are many prolific people from all around the world" Monet: "especiallyfrombrooklyn" 🤣🤣 this got me good for some reason lmao! Also I get sleep paralysis too and it's the worst! I always think someone broke into my house or something and it's scary

not the pigg-lay wigg-lay😢😅😂😂😂

sibling fuckery 🤪♥️

Bob, if you’re not dreaming or remembering them that means you’re not getting REM sleep which is usually a result of medication/drugs.

It may be like highlighted your bad parts… blown out your t spots lol hahaha

I'm the same as Bob except for the not dreaming part. I've had sleep paralysis for as long as I can remember. I hate when people associate it with demons or aliens because there's a logical reason for why it happens and why it feels scary. Also, places in my dreams are often combinations of places I've been to before. Like my current home mixed with my childhood home, for example. It's the same thing with people too. As for lucid dreaming, I've only recently started to experience it but once I become aware that I'm dreaming I usually wake up soon after.

my dreams almost always take place in combination locations

I'm mad Monet woke her friend up just to tell her a bedtime story.😂😴

I frequently had sleep paralysis in the past that I had a system to get out of it and even prevent it from happening in succession. I remember the first time I had it was when I was like 14. I couldn’t more or scream for help I initially thought I was having some sort of stroke. Then an old lady I conjured in my half-asleep brain started to laugh in my ear like she was about to get me.

Sleep paralysis is wild! It's happened to me a few times and it's just like Bob explained. I get the scientific reason behind it but it doesn't explain the things you see while it's happening and I have seen some things. Has this happened to anyone else?

The way that they both are pulling stories out their rear. Chiiild

I usually get the sleep paralysis where I'm having a regular dream, someone says a word, and that word starts to echo louder and louder and I can't move or speak. I just have to let it pass. Thankfully I only get it like once a year.

My dream last week I can’t get over. 2 nuns came in my house the back garden door and I was hovering and I pointed my hoover at them. Then realised they were holy women so put my hoover down. I thought they were here to tell me my 96 year old neighbour had died but they came into my dining room,one nun was gone and replaced by a priest who said “so what are you feeling about all this” and I said “about what” and then he said “climate change” so I went on a leftie speech about climate change then I looked out my wi Dow and my dog (an Akita doesn’t like other dogs) was with their dog(A black wolfhound) and the dog pulled a cat off the fence we ran out and took the cat away then that was the end of the dream. I googled so many things about nuns and dogs and climate change and they all come up with different answers but nothing specific. Just over sharing thanks for reading 😅

If you you’re from New York, you know Brooklyn is the best place to live.

I am so earrrllyy

Bob just don't get it about city living. You can totally have everyone over. You'll be in the park if you don't have space.

people from brooklyn and texas never stop talking about where they're from but I have never met people obsessed with their state flag like colorado. they put it everywhere from stickers to every piece of clothing like a uniform it is incredible to me who did not know what my state flag looked like for many years growing up

Bob, let Monet have it!

Sibling Gaslightery 🤭

Can yall not talk about New York EVERY SINGLE EPISODE? damn 😂😂😂

Thanks for the education x. Greetings from Australia

I want to talk about the greasy head smudges on the headboard in Bob's room

Bob is so pragmatic it's wild to me. If I was in her position and I had that same wild ass dream not only would I believe it I'd make my mom believe it too! After that. No one could tell me shit. But we're also skeptics in the first place 🤭🤭

Bob ain't never heard of HARLEM WORLD !

I mean.... cats are normally pretty territorial with each other when another cat comes into their space, that’s probably why Colleen and the other cat didn’t get along ...my cat is also a dog person like Colleen lol...

That’s so true about us Texans lmao we love our state

My friend gave me a dream book

Lost Boyz, Onyx, LL Cool J, Play from Kid N Play.... It's always some backwoods, back country Brooklynite that'll try to come for Queens!

You guys make me miss my sisters 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Monet’s white guy voice is too much. I died.

Bob not believing in anything spiritual and rarely dreaming now ...yet having memory of him dreaming vividly and and seeing things coming things to fruition... connection to the fear he felt and the place he refuses to acknowledge that experience because of the trauma. Fast forward -* shuts down any and all belief systems regarding any thing related to the non physical world. Overly vulnerable Emotions included. 🔑💡🎧💡🔑

Lucid Dream and Sleep paralysis gang here to tell you it actually REALLY sucks. My last sleep paralysis "episode" i was just laying not being able to move and i was trying SO hard to yell out for my dad to come wake me up.
