The Meaning of Life & Death A Story - "The Life of a Two-Way Radio" A Story Of Birth, Life, & Living

Sometimes while trying to figure out the real meaning of life I get really bored.. Sometimes I ingest far too much caffeine.. And when I do both, this is what happens: 2 minutes and 40 seconds of absolutely meaningless bits arranged in an a specific order and catapulted across the internet, eventually ending up on KZbin for you to watch and ask yourself "why?".. So I made this video that explores the meaning of life, why we are here, love, birth, living life, relationships, and what we have to look forward to when we die - all through the eyes of the life of a two-way radio.
But the answer to your question of "why" is: "There is no answer. It is what you make of it"...

This also gave me a slight Chubb

[@JustinJJN]

I laughed, I cried... I questioned what I just watched... and why I watched it to the end.

[@Francois_Dupont]

the removal of the antenna is actually a metaphor vis-a-vis the inability to defend yourself. it is linked to the current calls to disarm the population. you can see this video is humble and a mirror story about the populace potentially losing their ability to emit and have spurious emissions . a radio without an antenna is useless. just like a man without a sword.

[@davejurek2097]

Very deep, very shakespearean, O the drama. As a suggestion, watch “ meaning of life” the movie. 😂 Before posting 😂

[@Gazman_Melb]

I'm an Athiest so I just wasted 3 minutes of my life on this. 😉

[@Captain_Tripper]

This channel is criminally under-subbed. Randy doesn't get near enough credit for how funny he is.

[@dtrex392]

Maybe there’s good reason for that….. 😏

[@Pyjamarama11]

no, I reckon the number of subs is about right most of them would be sad-hams too, most likely

[@bendeleted9155]

#1 ham channel

[@Gazman_Melb]

He's creative, not sure about funny.

[@OvGraphics]

My wife and I never miss an episode as you no doubt know, Randy. Tonight however, as never before we experienced great joy with the birf of the young ones after the two radios copulated. Next, we held hands when the radio children grew up, their laughter unbounded. Later, though, we wept along with the rest here as one by one the family went room temp before all went to heaven. So rarely, well, probably not since Socratus wrote his epic which aired on the Hallmark Channel, have we witnessed such a historic award winning classic story of birf, life, death as we did this evening in your "The Life of a Two-Way Radio". Bravo Bravo. Roses.

I would cry but my radio isn’t IP rated and I can’t afford another accident.

This video changed my life. My hair grew back. I suddenly aquired musical talent. I switched from the wrong political party (you know who you are) to the right one. My shoes stopped squeaking. The weather improved. I kicked my crystal meth addiction. I no longer lose the remote.My posture improved and my scurvy cleared up. My 4X4 suddenly aquired locking differentials. Somebody finally posted Moron Movies to the Pirate Bay. You are a miracle worker!

[@dougdanger4903]

I laughfed , I cried, I just shit myself, thank you!

[@OverlandOne]

Randy is the best radio reviewer on the planet.

[@ricruso59]

AGREED!!!

[@TheZenPhotographer]

I laughed, I cried, it became a part of me. I'm a changed man. Thank you Randy.

[@stevemcnaughton-kb3jc96]

Oh, how poignant, a full range of emotions, the highs and lows of life, the wonderful and the bitter sweet. Truly a new classic, one that will be enjoyed over and over. "sniff", sorry, I can't hold back the tears.

[@RobCanada]

Have you been chewing some edibles? Blink if you need saving.

[@Commodium]

Someone must get Randy some new radios to review in an awful hurry 😂

[@michaelmcconnell7294]

Damn you. I went through a box of tissues in under 3 minutes.

[@CzechDog2022]

I did that too...when I was 13

[@archstanton9206]

The creativity, skill, thoughtfulness and over all genius demonstrated here is overwhelming. All this from a man so humble...

[@jackdeanda6920]

If I converted to a sad ham, this video would have made return back home to the loving arms of my GMRS guru. Thanks Randy!!!

[@AcmePhoto]

Needs more cowbell! (Roger beeps)

[@19D40D3X]

I was so bored, I watched it......and it was BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!! You should put little sock puppet faces on them next time......And a sad face on a UV5R for the Sad Hams.....Very entertaining thanks again.....

[@1o1s1s1i1e]

If I press the PTT and send out a Roger Beep and no Sad Ham is there to hear it will it still make a sound? ROGER BEEP!!!

It's always great to see the different radios play well together, but they all go their separate ways eventually.

[@Electro489]

I love amateur radio and despise sad hams, thus I worship at the altar of NotaRubicon. Thank you Randy for your work in the reality of modern non-commercial radio.🙏🏼

[@sbkscuify]

You are at peak radio when this is what comes to mind for a YT video.

Beautiful…just beautiful!

[@bodazaphfa]

Such a work of art.

[@waynehearst317]

I don't know much about pork radios, or 3 and 4 letter radio wave radios, nor do I know much about theater, but I do know for fact this man is a genius and sorely underrated. This was amazing. LOL. Well done, sir.

[@Sonicgott]

I delightfully enjoyed a chocolate covered coconut treat as I watched the absolute Oscar-worthy mastery that was this delightful cinematography symphony of love and devotion. You are a blessing to the internet. The movie industry should take note on just how epic this was.

I held my UV-5R close while we watched the video together. It was a special moment.

[@thetravi1348]

I loved the show. The welling of emotions were almost overwhelming. You got an A- due to the lack of interpretive dance tho.

[@FreddyNietzsche.]

The music was wonderful, let's give it the title "Randy's radio romance".

[@nativetexan9776]

The saddest soap opera I have ever watched. Had me in tears and I am not even sure why.

Nice rendition of so goes the BF handheld. But I have also upgraded my early UV-5Rs with 3800maH batteries and made them 1.75" taller!

I think this content is more suited for the hub than the tube.

I am wondering what the next creative video will be all about... So much excitement and drama crammed into 2:40!! I hope not 2 sad hams! Maybe a spring fling radio fling!

So powerful.

[@EpicAirsoft]

@TheNotaRubicon I was wondering if I could get any assistance with your Expertise. I play Airsoft. I have friends who have UV-5r I got the GM-15 because I read it can do everything the UV5r can do + more. Not sure if that is correct. But i'm Thinking when I try to transmit I may or may not be un able to do so and was wondering why this may be happening and if there is a way to make the gm-15 talk with the uv-5r thanks a lot!! I may be able to hear them.. But I may not be able to Transmit Hypothetically speaking of course.
