Welcome to everyone listening

on the podcast. If you're not a member of Maximum Fund, become one by going to MaximumFund.org slash join. This special streaming edition of Jordan Jesse Goh is called The Subdoms. This is where Jordan and I take you on a guided tour of some of the most wonderful and magical corners of the website reddit.com. Reddit.com is the website, Jordan. It can be a very beautiful place where people gather to discuss the most niche of topics and in the best ones, the real world does not come up at all. It is just so hyper-focused on this niche topic. You can scroll and scroll and enjoy the chatter

without any mention of the real world. Jordan, I am presenting to you today one of my favorite corners of Reddit. It is not one of the most active corners of Reddit, but I am so grateful. Jesse, the good ones never are. You do not want to go into active corners. Those are the ones you want to stay away from. There's a lot of members. R slash funny is not what we want to get involved with. Sure. R slash politics.

Yeah. This is R slash funny anesthesia. Okay. This is the subreddit Jordan where people on mostly ketamine are coming out of their coming out of their it's basically do you remember David after dentist to the like original viral videos on the internet? I do. And honestly honestly if you ask me viral videos did not get better than that first batch. They peaked, we peaked at David after the dentist, I like turtles kid. What about that news footage of that whale exploding and then all the hunks of whale are landing on everyone's cars? The news footage of the whale exploding, again what, you know, damn Daniel could never.

On r slash funny anesthesia, it is mostly video posts and we'll get into some video posts, but I wanted to just give you a flavor with a text post that was posted by one NB cheese. Okay. I would say, I would argue Jordan, all cheese is non-binary. I don't think cheese gets involved in the, in a dichotomous gender construction. The headline here is I was under anesthesia for the first time. It says, so I had surgery for the first time today. So I of course had to go under anesthesia for the first time too. Well, I asked my parents what I did as I remember

very little of it myself. I had flipped them off a few minutes before going into the surgery room, not under yet, but had an IV. And apparently, I flipped them off three more times in recovery and on the way to get food. When I was discharged and getting into the car, I face planted into the back seat and hit my cheekbone on my little brother's booster seat. Apparently, that scared the nurse and all I said was, I'm okay. I hit my cheekbone in the most nonchalant tone. I am chaotic neutral when under anesthesia. That just gives you a basic idea of the parameters. These are the kinds of posts you might get on here. I like that they're like, oh, our kid is freaking out from anesthesia, but we have to go get

food. We have to go to Panda Express. Yeah. All of these are about, so many of them are about what food someone wants. I think it just taps you into your Taco Bell brain. One of the replies to that says, the last time I was under anesthesia as I was waking up, I belted out a verse from What Do You Do With A Drunken Sailor So Loud That My Wife Could Hear Me From The Waiting Room.

I like that this person has a sea shanty at the ready. Yeah. Stephen, can you load up the one that's called Dad Love Ya? This is like, this is a very typical video. So these videos are, a lot of times the people have like bandages around their head because they just got their wisdom teeth out. That's like one of the big ones. But they're always in gurneys. We love a gurney. We have no choice but to love a gurney.

Dad, I love you. Yep. I see you. Nope. Why? Because you need the rest. I know I need to rest. I need to put my hands down and my head back. I'm taking that. Yeah. I need to put my hands down and my head back and take a nap. Yeah. All right? Yep. All right.

Well, I'll be here. We'll take care of it, Scott. Good to meet you, Seth. You're welcome. Hey, bud. How's it going? I hope you're having a good time. I'm having a good time, all right?

You are? Yeah. Good. Hell yeah. Yeah. Hell yeah. Hell yeah! Show me your tits! Hey, quit.

I'm just messing around. I know. Quit. Tell her you're sorry. I'm sorry, man. I didn't mean to say that. Dad, do you need a drink? No, I'm good, thank you.

You guys gave me an extra jug. It's crazy. I never heard of nothing like it. Get this on Snapchat. Yeah, is this for you? Yeah. Alright, cool. You be respectful when we come in. I know, I'm sorry.

We gonna sleep now? I don't think so, buddy. Who are you sending over to UC? Probably in the morning they were. I bet. Teen certitude. He's confident. Yes. That's on me. I thought it was showing my tits. I didn't mean to, you know. I'm just out of it, see?

I'm showing pain right now. I mean, I'm not in pain on these sides. I'm gonna be alright. I'm gonna be alright. I'm gonna be alright. Woohoo! God! I was gonna be shocked!

Can you wiggle? Yeah, you take the video of it. Can you wiggle? I What can we do with that, girl? I heard that Danny McBride recently paid $5 million for the rights to this video and it will be on HBO. The Danny McBride adaptation of this will be on HBO next year. Jordan, can I just say I have an important message for you if you don't mind me sharing it. First of all, I love you. I love you too. Show me your tits.

Jesse We'll see how many new members we get Here's a post from Kubaxion. Okay, man. Okay when I got my wisdom teeth out It was a fucking experience before the surgery. It wasn't too interesting But as soon as I woke up, I saw the nurse next to me and I was all like, hey, I think I died and now I'm in a parallel universe and I got to get back to my house and kill me from this universe. Wow. And he was just kind of like, all right, you do that.

Yeah. Is this where Rian Johnson gets his movie ideas? I think so. And then the other nurse kept going in and out of the room to get things and thought there was like five of her that kept coming out of the room. And then so when she was wheeling me out in a wheelchair, I was like, damn, why are there so many of you? There's like five many of you.

She just said, all right. Five many? And she just said, all right. Five minutes. Anyway, I get to the car. My dad was there. He's like, how you feeling son? In the daddest way possible. And I was like, man, I'm pumped. Let's get some juice. I'm starved.

So we drove to the Jamba Juice. I say, I'm good. I can do this. And I drunk stumble 30 feet to the door, burst in like a Viking returning from a battle and holler, what's up, fucks? So everyone just turned into Danny McBride. You just turned into Danny McBride when you have these procedures done. Can I say some things that I liked about that last video that we watched? Adam- Please.

Sean- So when I usually see these types of videos, they're always funny, but I feel a little bit of like, there's some betrayal in the air, right? Like, I think if I was going through this and someone was taping it and posting it, I would feel a little bit betrayed, you know? Adam- Yeah. But I think in this case, the guy under anesthesia or the guy who was on the pain meds, he was asking for it. He was saying, put this on Snapchat, put this on Facebook. So it is kind of like the dad taping it.

Yeah, it was just like he was just honoring his son's wishes and I think that's really beautiful. And I hope if I'm ever that messed up on drugs, I'm like thinking about content, you know, because that is my passion, creating content. The guy's trying to figure out what smoothie to order. And he says, his dad says, you trying to order or what? And he says, shush man, I'm trying to do fruit science.'" Wow. Shush man. And then he orders, can I tell you what he ordered?

He says, "'Yeah, just give me a smooth regular.'" Give me a smooth regular. First of all, it's Jamba Juice. They're all smooth. They don't make anything that's not smooth. I don't know if you've been there. There's no craggy gritty Jamba Juices. His dad just orders him the first thing on the menu.

His dad sits him down and says, how are you feeling buddy? And he says, now at this time I was feeling a lot of things, but most noticeable to me was the gauze in my mouth. So I just look at him and say, there's these fucking tiny sheep in my head. I do question, I do question the logic of, you know, like I understand, you know, you probably want something to eat or you want a smoothie when you, you know, get out of these procedures. But like, just get it to go, dad. Just run in, get what the kid wants and get it to go.

Like, what, why does it seem like a good idea to bring him into the Jamba Juice to let him to let him Just yeah, just blitz everybody with nonsense the guy from the Jamba Juice So the dad orders just the first thing on the menu Mm-hmm when they Jamba Juice guy brings regular brings it with some Yeah, he brings it with some Mario Kart stickers Whoa, cool. He says, I swear, I almost cried from the tsunami of emotion that that gift made me feel.

I mean, I didn't know John, but you said Mario Kart stickers. Dang. You know where I'm going for lunch. I know, right? I just want to play you. This one is just like the sound of a guy. He's in the gurney. Again, these are all gurney vids. Right. Yeah. This is just the sound of a guy who is being wheeled out of the operation room into the recovery room or out of the recovery room into the operation room, whatever. That's a hoax just him turning the corner.

That's uh... Jordan, can I ask you a dance question? Sure, yeah, and I'm your guy too. If there's one person you want to come to with questions about dance, movement, and the beauty of them both. It's me. What would you say is America's number one overall dance? Oh, great question.

Well, you know, the Waltz, huge, obviously. Everybody's Waltz. I mean, this isn't the 19th century, Jordan. Come on. I mean, the Waltz endures, it's a classic dance. Obviously, there's been some drop-offs. I'm talking about America, not Vienna. All right, all right. So I'm thinking probably, you know, we still gangnam styling?

There's a while where people would gangnam style at weddings. Is that still going on? JL I think this is a dance that is gonna have twice the staying power that gangnam style has had. And I'll say this Jordan, just to give you a hint where I'm driving here, it's a dance about a place where it's fun to stay. Okay, okay. It's one of our best dances that refers to a place where single men can get a bed to sleep in and a naked old man with droopy balls who's toweling himself off. And there's a youth basketball league. It's gotta be the YMCA, right?

It's the electric slide. But I do have a video about the YMCA. Oh good, okay. So Stephen, will you play this YMCA one? Okay. Serious question. Serious question. When was the last time you ever thought that we were going to do the YMCA?

I don't know. YMCA. Do the YMCA? When we last met you know that. It's like you're going to be chair. I don't know. Aww. It's like...

It's like... I don't know. She's crying. Oh, it is such a fun dance. It's a shame people don't do the YMCA more. I am absolutely with this messed up young person. She's so passionate about it. Yeah. How does this, I mean- I don't know.

I think it's kind of beautiful. Me too. Yeah. Because, you know, listen, fads come and go, but sometimes, you know, in our pursuit of the new hot stuff, we lose sight of the classics. It's a real shame. Have you ever seen, I don't like to get into politics, but have you ever seen the president do the YMCA? Oh yeah sure. Yeah is that is that the maybe the reason why it's kind

of still in the zeitgeist is the president enjoys doing it? I mean I think it's still in the zeitgeist because everybody loves doing it. Sure. I just when I'm looking at it I'm just just thinking about this, you know, shitty old man and just his commitment to doing this shitty dance that's about guys sucking each other off. You know what I mean? Yeah. Like, that's what the song is about. Didn't the, you know-

It's about guys getting to the big city and wanting to suck each other off. Sure. And have a good meal. Oh, maybe that's what good meal is about. Okay, now I'm seeing some of the subtext there. Good meal could mean a lot of stuff. Isn't there a thing where the village people is not the village people anymore? It's one of these legacy things where it's like one guy and then a bunch of replacements,

right? A replacement construction worker, a replacement cop and stuff. And you know, because- Yeah, it's just the guys from O-Town in outfits. Yeah. It's a thing where like the surviving village person or the one that tours as the village people has had to say like, it's not about that. It's because they play all these like Trump events. He's like, it's just about the building.

He's like, I'm the straight one. Sure. Okay. First of all, I just want to say thank you everybody who's been watching these streams. We're doing this every weekday at 930 Pacific, 1230 Eastern in the morning slash lunchtime.

I have a mom, which is the sort of core insight at the beginning of this video. So again, this is another one with teeth out, I believe. No, this is the, okay. So this guy is lying in a recovery chair. Hell yeah, slipknot t-shirt.

He has buzzed hair and a slipknot t-shirt. A slipknot t-shirt is absolutely essential to understanding the cultural context of this video. Let's watch. Is that a nice chair? Yeah. Is it better than the one you have at home? I can tell.

Yeah, you have a nice chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair.

I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a chair. I have a mom! Oh my god! Oh! Who am I? I'm your dad! Oh my god!

I'm so happy he has come back! I'm gonna be famous! Oh! I have a... Oh my god! Oh my god! Where are they? Oh my god! sisters I love the dog! Do you remember? What's his name? Oh my God!

It's like Batman! Oh my God! Wow! Oh my God! Oh my God! Wow! He said, Oh my God! My life is perfect!

Yeah! What is this and can we do it He said, oh my god, my life is close. Yeah. What is this and can we do it recreationally? It seems like I just want to feel like that. I want to be stoked about chairs. I want to be stoked about dogs named Bane. I mean Jordan, do you think that we would be disappointed if we tried to do it? Because you only have one sister. And one of my dogs is a small dog.

Yeah, I mean, it could be that we... Yeah, this has the reverse effect. We just realize how miserable our lives are. Me with my one sister and you with your small dog. Our lives are shit. What if I was under and they just said to you, your dad died of cancer. But you have a chair! When I had my appendix out, and they were counting me into the anesthesia. I had never been under full anesthesia before. I was a little hesitant about it

because it's actually a little bit dangerous, you know, something you do only when you have a medical need. And they said to me, we're gonna give you the good stuff. This is the stuff Michael Jackson was on. And so like, just as I'm going under There I'm like well Michael Jackson's dead Giving you he died of it

You gotta take a time Please titrate that appropriately Please titrate that appropriately. But to think you're getting a celebrity drug. Anytime one of these videos shows up in my feed, it just makes me so happy because, I don't know, there's one, Jordan, where there's this girl who had like surgery on her arm and she wakes up with a cast on her arm. And she announces that she's Thor. And her little brother, her little brother pretends to get hit by her and get like knocked out. And she's so terrified that she's killed him that she breaks into tears. Well, I mean, that's the responsibility of being Thor.

With great power comes great responsibility. That's what we learn from the character Thor. Well, hey, this has been beautiful. This is a very beautiful subreddit, Jesse. Thank you for sharing it with us. Maybe we'll return to it in a future episode of the SubDom's. Yeah, and I just want to give a shout out to all these people who went through medical procedures for our benefit.
