right okay okay what is the usual like go-to for the fuck up of your last name uh like well yeah i had a teacher that i think they were afraid to say the word cock so so said, so they would say heckick, but, uh, a lot of like heck cocks or whatever. I don't know. It's like, have you never seen the word he before? Has someone ever pronounced your first name? Ian? Yes. All the time.

All the time. Really? Yeah. Is it, is it just like, wait, like in America people do that? Yeah. Yeah. But I think, I think people mess it up more down here in la because there there is a little bit more like first generation immigrants here so so a lot of people haven't seen

the you know name ian because it's a very just white sort of uk name yeah so a lot of people just like ian i'm like yeah that's me ian hickok yeah well welcome to the podcast ian hickok we're very glad to have you uh we wanted to get you on for quite some time oh and uh well you should ask sooner that's all that's all we needed so people see the work ethic of the podcast it's really like why don't you have this person on and we're saying we're trying to get them on it's really us just uh yeah we'll ask fuck we'll ask one of these days you well you did and then and then nothing and then i didn't hear back you're like you're like hey like it'd be cool to get on the podcast and i wrote back hell yeah and then i just never nothing i was like i guess

i should i guess i should follow up yeah my my bad. I'm so bad at that. We're all like, I'll send an invitation to something or I'll shoot someone a message about collaborating. And they'll be like, hell yeah. And then I'll just never respond. I'm awful with messaging in general. That's just, I forget. So anyone out there who I've done that to, please feel free to reach out if I never responded because that's on me. I'm just as bad.

I'm just as bad. I'm just as bad. I don't fault you for that. Well, thank you for doing my job and coming back and saying, hey, I'd still love to be on the podcast. And you're still going to give me a cut of today's sponsorship, right? Well, actually, let's talk about that after the podcast. Oh, okay. I mean, you're already making enough from your book, if I'm being honest.

Yeah, the book is making some money. We're struggling. I mean, I know you said it's not doing big rounds, but, like, I mean, you're already making enough from your book, if I'm being honest. Yeah, the book is, it's making some money. We're struggling. I mean, I know you said it's not doing big rounds, but like, I mean, it's all over the rallies. And a lot of people go to theirs here. You have to be making at least, you know, good incomes. Well, Bill, and since I'm good, close friends with him, I call him William. William and I, you know, we don't have like the best relationship because he took a larger percentage of that. So does he get like, so like with audio book, do you have like the last half?

Like he gets all the money to listen to the first half, but if people don't make it through, like you don't get the next half. Right. Yeah. We did the audio book. So he reads the first 90% and then the last chapter I read just to like really flip people out. Okay.

Okay. And you wanted, you wanted your kind of stamp on it, to like really flip people out. Okay. And you wanted, you wanted your kind of stamp on it, right? Yeah, of course. Classic. I would love to legitimately read a book authored by you and Bill O'Reilly and just like see what that book would be about. I don't know what common interests we would have. But like it's all under the same like name, like R.L. Stein type of like Lemony snicket type of name

so like it just feels very unbalanced throughout the whole thing you take turns writing chapters like one's about paying women millions of dollars to go away and then one's about working on youtube i'd read that book i'd be very intrigued by it why hasn't he gone to youtube yet that book i'd be very intrigued by it why hasn't he gone to youtube yet who alex jones has left a big market open that's true that's true come on you can fill that void come on guys come on mr o'reilly i know you listen to the podcast think she managed him doing like make sure to click that bell and you can uh subscribe like and subscribe hit that subscribe button he's like he's he's collabing with like the family vloggers they're doing fortnite dancing he's he's like bill o'reilly does floss can you guys do fortnite dances i can't i i played fortnite all of maybe four hours because we were gonna make a video

making fun of it so i was like okay i need to know a little bit about it and i've watched videos and i know the get the general gist of it, but I was really bad at the game. Also, I was playing on consoles, so that was also a bad idea. Never once played it. I don't know how I still haven't played it, but I feel like at this point we should save it for a video. Yeah, I'm going to get Baby's First Fortnite.

Yeah, Baby's First Fortnite. We'll do that as a video. I can wear a diaper and a baby bonnet, have some face cam. You're joking. You've said it. I'm going to commit to that idea. We're going'll do that as a video. I can wear a diaper and a baby bonnet, have some face cams. You're joking. You've said it. I'm going to commit to that idea. We're going to do that. I'm going to buy a bonnet and a diaper, and you're going to wear it. As long as you buy the diaper and the bonnet, I'll do it. You shouldn't have said anything. Now it's

reality, and I have to make sure that reality happens. Alright, guys. Well, I guess that video's coming soon. So, uh, keep your eyes out for that one. Oh, yeah. But you don't have to play Fortnite to know the dances. No, I guess after many months of trying, I can now do the floss, which is a very complicated dance move.

Could we see it? I know the viewers can't see it. To make you feel better, would it make you feel better if Matt did one of the Fortnite dances in front? He's got one down packed. I got two of them down. Do you have the one where the hands go up and then down? I wish.

That's the one that I wish I could do most. In fact, I actually tried learning it, and I almost broke my ankles. It's really painful on the ankles. What's that one called? Oh. Is that the Shiggy? The block? No, no, no.

It's the one that's like... Hold on. Yeah, yeah. Here we go. This is America. Yeah. There you go. That one, right?

Yeah. Was that in This is America? I on. Yeah, yeah. Here we go. This is America, yeah. There you go. That one, right? Yeah. Was that in This is America? I forget. Yeah, he does. Nice. There you go. Doing the floss? See, yeah, you got it.

He's got the floss. He did it. Okay. Good job. And you said you could do the floss. Is that the one you said you could do? Right, yeah. Okay.

I mean, do you want to... Do you need proof? I mean, I feel like I would like proof. I mean, I don't want to put you on the spot, but. Okay, let's see. Oh, he's doing it, ladies and gentlemen. He's doing it. Hell yeah.

I don't have any sort of coordination to even begin that. This is not a filmed podcast. Well, see, we just wanted the proof for ourselves. We want to be the only two people in this moment that could have seen that. I feel like I just got peer pressured hardcore. That's what happens, man. I'm extremely susceptible to peer pressure you want crack um like uh inject or smoke smoke i mean you can give them hard pass okay options yeah i only inject just straight into my anus but yes injection you said no smoke that's a good way to do it yeah

that is like the best way to do it hurts but it's yeah kids if you're out there That's a good way to do it. Yeah. That is like the best way to do it. It hurts, but it's... Yeah, kids, if you're out there, that's the best way to do crack. Heard it here first, guys. First. You heard it here first. I don't know why I tried to say first. It came out, I was like, first. It's your brain trying to talk faster

than your body has the ability to. It just happened. But you heard it here first, guys. You can do crack through your anus. That's what you learned from today's podcast with Ian, guys. You can do a lot. Have any of you done drinking through your asshole?

No, which I don't recommend because that's an easy way to die. If I passes your liver, if you drink through your butt... If I can picture the jackass boys doing it, then I feel like it's safe for the general public to try. First of all, it was Steve-O. Did he actually do it? Yeah.

Which one did he do that? The second or the third jackass too jackass yeah that was that was weird didn't they open the movie with that it was near the beginning i think but he drank he drank like a like a huge beer through his ass and like you just see it like going down yeah you know what's weird about that is like imagine you were at a party and just a bunch of dudes and you're like hey so i'm gonna take my pants off and uh he's gonna shove a bong into my anus and we're gonna pour beer into it and everyone just stands around and laughs and cheers at it that's weird right like that's weird it's definitely weird because you have to picture the event Like the dick and balls are flaccid Like flopped a little

Because he's doing a handstand right Well no Steve-O was like He was like dead I feel like if you're doing it at a party you have to handstand You can't like I don't think anyone at a party is going to watch a dude Do this Insert it

I mean That was the one jackass stunt that i didn't really understand i was like i he's just drinking it through his ass like i don't need to see this really it's not really a stunt it's like what about the cardboard cutting up the webs that's the one that always gets me that's the one i can't watch i hate that watch that there's that one in the one with the fish hook in the cheek i can't do that one either i can watch that knowing what mental state he was in at the time because i think he was like pretty high on something and hence the he did a lot of nitrous yeah and then the butt chugging he jumps into a shit ton of like just a pool of

sharks essentially yeah when he has the the fish hook what's a group of sharks called a smosh oh right brother yeah fist pound it we just fist pounded that's pretty good no what is their actually name is it just a school of sharks no it's probably like a pool of sharks gang gang i mean it's got to be something cooler than a school i'm gonna look this up man okay you're gonna look it up answer a group of sharks is called a gam a gam a herd a frenzy or a school or shiver i really thought gang was gonna be in there it's not it's a gang of sharks it sounded close though it's a game of sharks coming this way man get out of the water there's a whole there's a whole frenzy was is that like an 18th century term for like a group of sharks i've never heard the word gam you know that was a real word

there's gambit but nothing to do with sharks you guys just learned listen you come to the podcast for for laughs and haws you come out with some knowledge you just learned that it's like listening to star talk yeah neil degrasse tyson yeah i feel like if you listen to this podcast he'd learn as much like he'd learn as much as much new material as we would if we listen to star talk i think he'd probably like lose some brain cells listening to this podcast. I love, I was watching his Hot Ones interview. Oh. And I love how he, everything gets turned into like a lesson. Yeah.

Like he's like, he's like looking at like the label and it has the atomic bomb on it. He's like, this is the bomb that we dropped in World War II. And actually the most dangerous part of a bomb is, is not the explosion. It's that, that'll'll it'll evaporate you completely it's it's the heat so it should say it shouldn't say warning radioactive it should say warning will evaporate you you can do his voice pretty well i just i just heard him on a podcast and dude's just too smart i just love how like he makes everything about space somehow because i remember like when anthony bourdain died he tweeted about like something about space and

all the responses were like dude it's not about space but if you think about it now he's he's stardust all the food he ate came from stars but i love him and i love cosmos he's he's a fun he's a fun guy to listen to yeah cosmos a good show. If anything, it gave us that great gif of him. It's like that cringe gif where he's getting blasted in the face with all the Cosmos. Wait, what? You said gif?

Hold on. That's the way it's supposed to be said. I don't want to get into this argument. Just one part. The guy who created the gif that's what they all say i know that's what they all that's the go-to defense i get it i get it you can't you can't say oh but if you're giving someone a present you're not giving them a gif it's like okay look all i got creator said if steve jobs said it was april no then we don't to call it April. No, it's Apple because it's spelled Apple.

It's already a word. There's a phonetic way to say certain parts of words. I'm sorry, it's GIF. No way. No way I'm going to fall into that. If he throws that defense out, let me just say, what does the G stand for? And the word GIF stands for graphic. Yes.

Do you say draft? Do you say graphic? You say graphic. That's for graphic. Yes. Do you say draftic? You say graphic. That's all I'm saying. I'm sorry, Ian. We didn't want to roast you on the podcast. No, it's fine. I came ready for anything.

You knew this would be brought up. You knew you had to defend yourself. I always come ready for a jif. That's right. Jif argument. You guys remember Jiffy Pop? They still make that? Jiffy Pop? Yeah. make that? Jiffy Pop

Yeah That sounds very familiar You guys What? It's the popcorn Oh yeah It's like the little thing on the stove Oh yeah

It like inflates Yeah You put it on the stove Yeah It goes And then it just explodes No Well

Maybe that's why they discontinued it I almost burned my house down When Jiffy popped once. Scared the shit out of myself. Because the paper will catch on fire. Yeah, I was doing it, and it was just, you know, it's popping, it's expanding, and it just, there was a bang, and it was on fire. And my mom had to come in and, you know, do that thing with the water.

If Neil deGrasse Tyson was a guest on this podcast, he'd spend the next 10 minutes explaining to you why that happened. Well, you see, when the molecules expand, it's rapid. It's very rapid expansion. It's a rapid, violent change of the state of the molecule. Of the cosmos. It's much like individual Big Bangs. Each kernel of corn is its own universe.

Neil, I'm talking about Jiffy Pop, man. Shut the fuck up. Okay, sorry, Neil. Sorry, buddy. I come on this podcast to talk about science, and you're fucking it up. You're saying fucking Jiff. It pisses me off. Okay, actually, we need to find out how he says it.

How Neil deGrasse Tyson says it? Is there a video of him? Can we call him up? Does anyone have a line of contact? What, you guys don't have his phone number? I lost it. I dropped my phone in the ocean. Hold on, hold on.

I think I got his number. True story. I think I got his number. Hold on, hold on. I really did drop my phone in the ocean and lose all my contacts. It was very tragic. Yeah, it's... I didn't exit.

Try the roasted red pepper and Swiss or caramelized onion and parmesan pinwheels only at Tim's. At participating restaurants in Canada for a limited time. Neil deGrasse Tyson. Here we go. It's Labor Day, so he shouldn't be doing much.

He might just be chilling in his mansion. Looking through a telescope. Hey, Neil. Hey, Neil. I was wondering if you could tell me if you pronounce... You know the word G-I-F is gif or jif? How do you pronounce it, Neil? You talking to me?

Yeah. Jif, right? Oh. Okay, all right. Well, thank you very much. It was lovely talking to you. I got to go. We're recording the podcast, Neil.

Okay. Love you. Love you too. Bye. Bye. Whoa, you and Neil are on a I love you basis He's a very nice man That's all I'm saying

His voice sounded a little messed up He was probably talking about space all day Just talking about space Well that's his voice when he's not on camera So now it's 50-50 So we're at a complete split Does Neil's opinion hold more like Weight though Cause he's like a cosmologist Is that the word So we're at a complete split. Does Neil's opinion hold more weight, though?

Because he's like a cosmologist. Is that the word? I mean, one could argue that his opinion is meaningless in the grand scheme of things in the greater universe. That's true. That's true. Easy, easy. But we are spending a long time talking about it on this podcast. So, I mean, maybe it does hold some significance in the greater scheme of things.

Here's just a way to settle it. Okay, let's just, in the comments section, let's just see if you... Oh, no. Are you team SuperMega or team Ian slash Neil? That's what we want to know. That's what we need to know. Matt and Ryan or Ian and Neil? GIF or GIF?

Make it happen, folks. I'll see it. I'll see it. I'll see it. The winners will be announced on the next podcast. Will they? Whoever. I mean, we totally could fake it if we wanted.

That is true. Yeah, we'll definitely announce the winners. But we'll do it. We'll be honest. Me and Neil will be watching. Yeah. We'll be honest. We won't bullshit it at the last second because we forgot anything.

We delete all the comments that say that. Just put a filter on the comments. 100% mega that's crazy man like we put a rule in our channel where it automatically bans people who like try to like say it's pronounced jif how do you even explain that it's pronounced jif but they just spell the word they'd have to spell it out with a j so that kind of says something right there right oh okay yeah if you have to type out the pronunciation you have to use a j so i think that that automatically that's not the way the english language works we break the rules all the time that's true i mean if you look at just phonetics like

phonetically spelling things is always kind of fucks me up sometimes i'll just be like laying in bed and i'll think about like a sentence i'll be like wait how does that make sense and i'll like read i'll like say the sentence over and over, and I'm like, what? It doesn't. It doesn't. We borrowed our language from a million other people. Just a mash. I don't know. That word, rendezvous.

Yeah, that one sounds good. We're going to take that word. Let's put it in and pronounce it all weird. But a sentence, for instance, like, I have to go to work. I have to go to work. What is there to do? I have? What do I have?

Think about it. I'm owning something? I have to go to work. What is there to do? I have. What do I have? Think about it. Like, what am I, I'm owning something I have to go to work? Doesn't make any sense. Will Smith, Will Smith. That's a sentence. Okay. Or you could say,

Will Will Smith Smith. That's a question. What's the deal with the Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo, Buffalo making? I have no idea. Have you heard of that one? Yeah.

But every time they explain to me, it doesn't sink in. So I'm always left having to look at my phone or something to decipher it. So is it like there's a verb for Buffalo? Is Buffalo a verb? There's probably like a place called Buffalo, like a town in Buffalo. New York? Yeah. The hell?

So Buffalo, Buffalo. There's a Wikipedia page Called Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo Buffalo

Buffalo Buffalo Right And it's Explain it to us There's a chart Look at this It's like a chart

Breaking down like Pronoun Noun You know Subject That's crazy Jesus What a crazy

Like look at this Wikipedia page Is Buffalo an adjective In any way Buffalo Yeah it's It's everything It's a verb It means to bully Harass or intimidate What a crazy, like look at this Wikipedia page. Is Buffalo an adjective in any way? Yeah, it's everything. It's a verb. It means to bully, harass, or intimidate.

I'm going to look up Buffalo in the dictionary, and if it doesn't say it's all of those things, I'm going to be disillusioned. Just lists out all of them. It's a proper noun to refer to a specific place named Buffalo, the city of Buffalo, New York, being the most notable. It's also a bison, a North American bison. It's a verb that means over all or intimidate yeah buffalo you stop buffaloing me she didn't like being buffaloed that's one of the examples that sounds like that sounds sexual it sounds weird i don't man you want to get buffaloed

let's get buffaloed tonight buddy fuck man let's get some buffalo buffaloed yeah you down to get buffaloed after this podcast every day every day let's go get buffaloed always ready for a little buffaloing yeah dude man buffalo wild wings can we talk about buffalo wild wings

for a second I like it do you like it okay now that's the last straw no get out they're

they're it's pretty good but my friends my friends work there so they gleamed all the sauces from them and then my friends make there, so they gleamed all the sauces from them.

And then my friends make some bomb-ass wings using those sauces that they've sort of learned from Buffalo Wild Wings and quality chicken, kind of chicken wings. Okay, what's your favorite wing flavor then, if you were to choose? The real question. You come on here, you get the hard-hitting questions. Right, yeah. They make this one. You come on here, you get the hard-hitting questions. Right, yeah.

They make this one. I think it uses a lot of butter and garlic and I want to say maybe Frank's Red Hot or something like that. Spicy garlic sauce? Yeah, yeah. So it's something like that. It's pretty good. Parmesan garlic, whatever it is. There's Parmesan garlic from the spicy parmesan.

Then they do some dry rubs. I'm not a fan of dry rubs. I gotta have that wet wing. Dipping into that blue cheese. I don't like ranch that much. I like both, man. I'll dip both. I'll do one bite blue cheese, one bite ranch. Really mix it up. Every time I order that garlic...

Sorry, the parmesan... What is it called? Garlic parmesan. They always forget to put it in the bag. Every single time. They forget the extra sauce. They always forget. They always forget to put it in the bag. Every time, dude. Every single time. They forget the extra sauce. There's a pizza place down the street from here that actually makes some pretty quality wings. Oh, shit.

Yo, you ever heard of a lav a lav mic or a boom mic talking about film over here guys sorry listeners you might not understand it's like it's really technical like that's my favorite type of person though oh yeah it's it's really technical i i it would be too much to explain but let me just tell you it's it's it's pretty chill like that type of person yeah i'm i'm so far out of like the the technical realm with filming and stuff it's really funny when i hear two other youtubers start getting in conversations about a camera or even like a like a lavalier mic and they're like like oh yeah yeah like i tried the sony xps uh 5000 like what do you think about that one? Oh, man, it's pretty good. It's pretty good, but not as good as the Panasonic PF59. I don't know.

Just get wider range with that. Oh, okay. It's not as directional. It films, too. My favorite, more so than that type of person, though, is like a freshman film school student that's like, yo, let me make you a list of movies of movies You gotta check out it's like Pulp Fiction and Her It's like shit like that Which are good movies

experience they had jimmy buffett performing yeah and steve-o was there butt chugging he was crazy yeah yeah uh that was very strange uh unfortunately people i was with wanted to leave early uh and they were my ride so I missed the moment when I think Chris Pratt got up there and sang Margaritaville with him so I missed out on that that's like a once in a lifetime moment to witness my parents are big Jimmy Buffet fans

how can you not be a fan of Jimmy Buffet right? actually last night funny we bring up Jimmy Buffet because last night I don't really have any art on my walls yet. Well, I have it. I just got to get it framed. So I was at the grocery store last night and I saw that they had like wall flags and they

have one where it's a picture of a margarita and it's like a, it says, it says Margaritaville on it. And it says my margarita says I'm awesome. And it's like five feet long and I hung it up on my wall. So when you walk into my place, it's like the first thing you see. I love that. Thanks. Thanks. I love Jimmy Buffett, man. Yeah, man. my wall so when you walk into my place it's like the first thing you see i love that thanks thanks

i love jimmy buffett man yeah man rock on thanks brother bro what's your number one favorite jimmy buffett song pencil thin mustache is pretty good that's a song that's actually yeah he's like he's like i wish i had a pencil thin mustache Were you listening to that song when you were trying to grow one out? Yeah. It's gone, ladies and gentlemen. Yeah, I shaved the mustache. Not for you guys, just because I was getting kind of tired of it. R.I.P.

And also, I was at a party the night before I shaved it, and two people were like, you know, man, you really should shave that. It's not looking too good. Whoa, whoa, whoa. People you know or people that you were meeting? People I know. They were like, you know what, it's been a good run, but maybe you, whoa, whoa. People you know or people that you were meeting? People I know. They were like, you know what? It's been a good run, but maybe you should not do it. And I was like, wait, was it your buds?

It was my buds. That's not why I shaved it, though. I was ready to shave it, but they kept telling me I should keep it. And then finally they were like, you know what? One of them has a mustache. What do they do? No, but there's only room for one of us. Yeah, he's getting jealous. i think he's jealous yeah i think he thought that you were gonna move in on

on his like brand his stash territory and he's like he's like this is so much better than mine and if i let him have this it's mine's gonna look like you're pampering yours like i was you're treating yours like a king so like a week ago I should be treated yeah I had a mustache I got do you want to see a picture of the mustache yeah I love the first time I've ever grown a mustache in my life it took three weeks to get there and then I had to dye it because it was blonde oh so uh yeah that looks like Megan's right there I'm sorry I think your friends were were doing you a solid oh my god i can never go back now that's that's the final verdict i uh you had to you dyed it i did yeah oh my god like the hair was there it was just blonde hey man you know sometimes some some sometimes we're just not meant to be certain things we want to be but

that's the thing i i understood that i just wanted wanted to – I had to at least try it. No, you definitely gave it your all. I'm definitely glad that you dyed it though because the flesh beard, flesh mustache, very strange. It's like the fucking Spencer Pratt type. I don't want like a Spencer Pratt beard. Exactly. That's why I want to get like a – The flesh beard, I think it's Spencer Pratt. I saw him recently at a –

How was he doing? He was on a podcast I went and saw, like a live podcast. And he was very drunk and he was spilling all that Hollywood tea. Oh, boy. He was. He was spilling a lot of it, too. And I was like, wow, is he going to get sued with all this? Dan Harmon does that kind of stuff all the time, right?

Yeah. Spencer Pratt just got really drunk on stage and just started saying all sorts of things about celebrities. Don't get drunk on stage. I mean, even though it could be fun. Speaking of which, come to Drunk Drawing Live on September 27th. We'll announce that more later. We'll officially announce that later. That was a good sugway.

Sugway. Dude. Sugway? Sugway, dude. Y'all want to get sugway after this? Dude, I'm jealous of your facial hair. It looks like it can get very full. Like, there's no, like, see with me,'m jealous of your facial hair. It looks like it can get very full. Uh,

like there's no, like, see with me, like there's like, it's like, it doesn't have the connection. I don't, I don't have like a thick mustache slash connection thing.

I only, my beard kind of grows down. I'm not sure if that's from my roots. Right. Back, uh, from like my, just Palestinian,

Palestinian roots or whatever. But my beard only grows Amishy down. Do you get it down the neck? Yeah. Like I have to shave down here. I get it like up here. Yeah. Yeah.

That's gnarly. Yeah. Uh, no, I, I feel like, I feel like I really lucked out in this generation where having like a short beard is considered like a,

an attractive thing. Like you're a clean cut gentleman. Right. Cause if I had to, if I had to shave all the time, I feel like I don't have really the jaw to really support a, a, a sort of aesthetically pleasing,

clean face. You know what I mean? I have that same kind of mentality. Yeah. Where it's just like, I look at my face and it's just like, Oh, there's,

there's the baby. Right. I got, I got those plump cheeks. I don't have like a strong jawline. So it just, I don't know. It's like whenever I had like a youth pastor, whenever he would shave, it just was very unnerving. Because you'd notice how pink his lips are.

Oh, God. I don't know how to explain it. It was just like, it's like you got to see his mouth. You never saw his mouth. And then he would shave. Then you'd see his mouth. And you'd just be, it's like you got to see his mouth. You never saw his mouth and then he would shave. Then you see his mouth and you just be like, man, you got lips. I forgot about that. Oh, he's like that one dude in Guess Who?

Yep. Do you know who he is? Dude with the huge ass lips? Yeah, the dude with the big lips. Hey, wait. Speaking of youth pastors, back in the days when you were first were first doing, uh, see Ryan and I also, you know, we started doing YouTube back in like 2007. So like way back, but I was doing, uh, videos for my youth group, uh, reminding my, my peers

to, to read their, their Bible notes and to, to show up for worship. Yeah. Did you ever do it in like a rap? I did actually. That's not on you. It is on YouTube. It's privated though. Maybe I'll release these one day. You i've done so much media for our church i did like a music video for

my church i also was in an interpretive dance where i played jesus that's right the jesus i was an acolyte i was up there wait you showed me that video right there's a video of you with the doing the jesus dance i don't think there's a video out there my uncle may have like the only copy and i may have to like ask him for it back unless he's busy with it. Then I understand. Ryan, I can't give it up. It's so precious. I know.

And like you put the VHS in and it's like been watched so many times that it's just ruined. Because you know how like if you play a VHS too many times, it just like ruins it. I did that to my copy of Rugrats, the Rugrats movie, like the orange VHS too many times it just like ruins it I did that to my copy of Rugrats the Rugrats movie like the orange VHS was it only just to watch the Baja men who let the dogs out at the end it was actually before the movie

in the previews there was a commercial for Peanuts on videos and this guy the commercial opens with the Charlie Brown theme song and the guy looks at the camera and goes you want to talk about peanuts videos but i swear to god he says penis videos they changed they changed the commercial and i that wasn't just me seeing it he it was so clearly penis videos they went back refilmed his part and put it in future copies of the movie they should have just like they should have just adr'd it so like later on he's like

he's like you want to learn about peanuts videos? And you can also see like, like you can see the look on his face. Like he knows what he's doing. Like he's got a little, let me see. So that was some like old school Disney stuff then. Yeah. With how they would always hide penises in all their movies. Oh, and like the, the little mermaid cover and stuff.

Oh, I searched. And the priest gets a boner. I searched penis videos. That's the best recording I could find. Can we play it again? Do you a bonus i search penis videos and i just got the best recording i could find we play it again he said penis videos right there there's a there is there is this um i think it's like a southern california uh uh car dealership uh and in the ad they said go see cal because his name is cal worthington and their song was go see cal go see cal go see cal but on tv it sounded like he said pussy cal

should i pull that up yes yes please pussy cal post cal i was trying to find the video so i searched uh just search penis videos on youtube and that does not come up with what i was looking for it's just it's slow motion videos of of there's a video called how erections work and I was trying to find the video, so I searched penis videos on YouTube, and that does not come up with what I was looking for. It's slow motion videos of – there's a video called How Erections Work, and it was just a video. Well, how do they work? I don't have Wi-Fi. I'm not sure how erections work. So you could look it up, right? After the podcast.

But what I need to look up is Pussy Cow? Yeah, Pussy Cow. Or you could type – you could probably do – Found it. There's how we're going to have a dog spot. If you need a better car, go see Cal. For the best deal by far, go see Cal. If you want your payments low, if you want to say some dope, go see Cal.

Go see Cal. Go see Cal. Oh, my God. What are they trying to say again? Go see Cal. Go see Cal. Go see Cal. Go see Cal.

Go see Cal. Go see Cal. It just... It sounds like pussy cow. They were saying pussy cow. Yeah, they knew what they were doing. They're're like let's see what we can get away with what i like to think is like they showed the ad to cal worthington right before they're gonna air it he's like you guys are definitely saying pussy cow can you can you go re-record it they're like no

it runs this way it's like he's like in a room and like it's a bunch of bored people just like above him ominously he's probably crying right now he probably still is i don't like he's like in a room and like it's a bunch of bored people just like above him ominously he's probably crying right now he probably still is i don't think he's still alive well he's dead real old what he's standing on top of a uh like a biplane and the commercial and it does like a flip then who do i make lunch plans with oh ryan you got you got you got cow fished pretty good right i found a higher quality version of the Peanuts videos thing. Look at the look on his face. He knows what he's saying.

He has that smirk, little smile. Look at this. You want to talk about Peanuts videos? He says Peanuts videos. And I actually broke the VCR because I played it back so many times. I called my friends and I held the phone up to the TV. And then, um, like I remember I had to bring like the, the, the phone in the room on the court and like stretch it to the TV. So my friends could hear. And then the V the VCR just like jammed because I had rewinded it and, and, and played it so many times that I had to get my

dad to help me unscrew the VCR. Jesus Christ. Like a, like a jam. Yeah. You and I, honestly, I think we would be in a jam if we didn't read this next ad read. That's right. It's time for my ad read.

They did it did we're so proud of them they did it we're japanese creating cities and shit yeah i hear they have a couple there's a few cities there i've i've been i've seen at least two cities yeah yeah where do you go uh i go to japan city and i

go to tokyo city have you been to japan yeah oh i went for the first time recently and i wasn't it the best place ever i fucking loved it my favorite part of course was just the food and like the food culture there anywhere you go well i heard that it's that's not true but it's true for like my experience there like anywhere you go it doesn't matter where you drop in whether it's like this little hole in the wall yeah exactly ramen place or whatever it's it's all bomb like they care about their food unless you know i mean even if you honestly we did this thing where dirt like we took a day to just have fast food yes and so like did you get most burger yeah oh wait no no no but a previous time i went i got it i love it so i i went there three or four times i four times. I wanted to try everything on the menu.

It's amazing. Did you get the shrimp burger where it's made out of shrimp? Yeah. That's crazy. I got one that was like a burger that was doused in curry sauce. Making me jealous. That's really good. When can we go to Japan again?

Next week. Yes. Okay. Oh, I'm going to be in Canada. Flights are pretty cheap like they are considering yeah considering the distance like you can get a ticket for like 600 bucks you need less than that the first time i went it was uh like 450 i think damn it just depends on when you i went air china so i had to lay over in beijing but yeah i did that the first time air china's

nice i air china's a real nice airline um really one of the flight attendants like screamed at me though by actually let me tell two stories on that flight. Are you going to tell that one, too? The one that I was about to spoil? It was either Air China or China Air that I flew. Whichever one it was that I flew on was the worst airline. Probably China Air. Because Air China was super nice.

Really? Yeah. But I was trying to get some footage because I was like, oh, I want to make a little music video with some of the footage I took in Japanapan so i can remember it and you can check it out on matt's channel on my personal channel yeah it's there i just uploaded actually it took me like two years but i did it um but i remember i was just like filming before the plane took off and um i guess one of the flight attendants uh she walked in the path of like my camera i had headphones in i was listening to music while i was just kind of like taking some footage

yeah it's like just for me just for like you know to remember it get some cool footage and uh she like sees me filming yeah and she thinks i'm filming her and she like screams like no delete delete and she started like screaming at me like delete and the plane was like silent everyone's looking at me oh okay um were you were you flying out of beijing right then i was flying from la to beijing this then i was flying from la to beijing this is like right before the plane takes off what and like i actually have the footage of her and it's in slow-mo you see her notice you can see her notice and then like turn into this like like evil like furious monster and like point at me and start screaming in slow motion whoa i didn't

put it in the video but you showed me that clip dude when we had we had like a really weird experience with one of the um stewardesses uh she kept walking over and turning off my girlfriend's tv screen like she'd just be watching something and she would just walk by and turn it off and then walk away and just keep walking like it was like just like kind of like muscle memory like she wasn't giving it a second thought. Yeah, and, like, she... My girlfriend was very much awake and watching whatever she was watching. The lady would just walk by. She did it multiple times. I don't know.

Did you speak up? Or did you just kind of... Well, she was sitting in, like, a different row. Okay, so she never said anything. She was just kind of, like... Yeah, she told me after. I was like, what? And then we did that layover in Beijing, and they seized all of our like portable batteries and stuff.

Yeah, they threw away – I just bought like a new container of like hair gel mousse stuff. Yeah. And I hadn't opened it yet and they threw it away. And I was like, oh, man. The funny thing about Chinese TSA is – I don't know if you noticed this in Beijing, but they have like a big like wall with like the list of items you can't have. And it's so weirdly specific. It's like crystal balls, fruit knives. God, there was some other like weird ones.

Just like, I don't remember crystal balls. I've seen crystal balls on there. It's like, do people just carry crystal balls in their luggage? Is that like a common object? I guess you can use it as a weapon. Like if you just bludgeon somebody with a crystal ball. Or you could cast a spell through it while you're on the plane and then it wouldn't let that happen

you could hijack a plane using spells through the crystal ball you do some like magic on the pilot some magic like some voodoo shit yeah we don't want that I love how the bomb symbol on a plane is just like a cartoon bomb you want to see someone like carry that like try to get through security with that

it's like already like I can't bring this through Was there ever a bomb like that that even existed like the circular black one that has the fuse? Yeah, because they were kind of related to like how cannons worked, right? Like the you always or like dynamite it works in the same way There had to have been a bomb that was kind of like that There's like a perfect like round like launched like launched from a cannon filled with not launched from a cannon but like it works in the same way where you light the fuse and when it gets down and like like dynamite or whatever it like sparks yeah or maybe they there's a bunch of shrapnel i don't know let me look that up well they just make them look so

it's possible because it's like a yeah it's like an old school grenade i guess it would be but yeah i don't know it's very strange but we all look at it and we're like oh yeah it's a bomb but we've never seen a bomb like that I've never seen a bomb look like that not even in movies just in like 20s cartoons when someone swallows a bomb or something that's just what you see

it's that shape of bomb yeah that looks like it could be real let me see it's always like on a studio set like it's never yeah yeah unless you you look at world war ii round bomb oh okay so yeah oh okay there it is it's a real one well there you go looks real dumb confirmed it's a goofy looking bomb well i mean yeah then they just made them grenades i mean they were they're just grenades oh okay they're just so they're that size they're like a handheld size they weren't like a giant um well

that picture definitely is yeah i don't i don't think they were giant welcome back to bomb the biggest one was probably like that okay okay yeah because when i'm because it had to have been like something you could throw then yeah you light it and you throw it or something that you'd like go into the other side of the base and just like you got like a big like three foot round giant one of those you just roll it down the street don't mind me it's a rock but like an obvious fumes on it and dynamite's so fucking scary because it's like you got to stick a dynamite yeah it's like you drop this you're gonna blow up you could yeah because dynamite if i'm not mistaken dynamite can also explode from like if you shake it or like drop it i'm not a dynamite expert or something yeah i think you're not supposed to drop dynamite don't drop guys i don't think you're supposed to

drop explosives just don't don't drop dynamite that's you can drop you can drop c4 and it wouldn't do anything yeah okay let's test that out let's try that or you could probably just drop a regular like pipe bomb and it wouldn't explode let's do it like a youtube video where we drop different hey guys welcome back today we have a special guest ian hecox and he's gonna be uh dropping bombs for us today so we go get behind like a big like will it will it explode like yeah like a parking lot i think that there's a very good market for this. Alright, Ian, go ahead and drop the first one. Alright, this one's the pipe bomb.

Okay. Just drops it and stands still. Oh, nothing. Alright, Ian, now try this one. We could rotate, you know, so it's like a hot potato. You're the guest. We want you to be the star of the episode, so we'll stand behind the little plexiglass barrier. Yeah yeah of course

man we want to help you out we want to help you with views and stuff so could you imagine us posting a video with like you in the thumbnail where it's like we kill ian from smart like that big yellow letters but like in the actual video it's only up for probably like five minutes because it would be reported like there's actual footage of you being blown to bits by a bomb but we really do kill ian and it's like it wasn't clickbait i don't see why everyone's so angry it wasn't clickbait we actually killed him yeah well there's that video on that i saw it was like they had like some uh it was like well 20 yes yes it was like will 20 000 magnets stop a bullet i saw that and the thumbnail was literally him pointing like an ak at somebody

yep like how does youtube allow this to be on if you watch the actual video that doesn't happen it's just what no i don't believe that i don't believe that everything that's in thumbnails happens in the video come on we all know this do you hear about youtube now like to some percentage of viewers they they you suck in the mic what was? I just rested my nose on it for a second. It's fine. For some percentage of viewers, they won't see custom thumbnails anymore? Yeah, I heard about that. It was like an experiment, and everyone flipped out, and then YouTube apologized.

I don't know if they're... I think they're still doing it, but... I'm not one of the unlucky. I am. One of my old channels I logged on, it was the unlucky. I am. One of my, one of my like old channels I logged on. It was like that. No thumbnails. Every gang rooms video just looked like just the same.

But why? How can you, thumbnails are used to. It's to, it's to make, it's to like organize. It's like our new algorithm will pick one. That's not clickbait.

Well, clickbait's just this, like today's version of like a, like a headline. Like, yeah, like headline as long well i mean there's a difference between clickbait and like what you like that magnet video like

obviously they're not going to do that that you they're showing the general idea out but if it's like it's like i mean that is sort of clickbait because i mean just like a headline is clickbait like a headline tries to just kind of get the but the headline is actually talking about what's yeah the content that you're going to be reading about i think there's like two types of clickbait there's like a clickbait that's within like a uh a fair um parameter where it's not misleading like it still baits you to want to click the video but it's not like you're going to click it and then it's like oh this was not anything at all what the title suggested was going to be the subject matter isn't there exactly like that what would they were there's no promise to what

they were kind of giving you well i mean you you i mean you guys you guys have been on youtube for a long time so you remember like when uh youtube would just choose the the the middle frame yep and you had you had to hide like a thing if you wanted that to be the thumbnail to hide like one frame yeah you just like flash it yeah uh yeah we never did the flash we never did the flash but we did find like we did find out how beneficial it was to have a good thumbnail because and it was completely by accident i swear to god we had a video where the censored shot of britney spears vagina was was the middle image and it was just because it was just in the sketch we mention it and it pops up and it was used at and that became the thumbnail and that became our most viewed video the beef one yeah yeah yeah which which i think

has been demonetized a long time ago a A lot of ours have too. We've had videos been deleted from our channel without them even warning us. Not privated, just they deleted it from existence. Like on my old channel, Kids With Problems, I had this like Broadway song I did about smoking crystal meth and they just deleted the video. And I was like, okay. But we're still getting videos demonetized. Like we did a video with like Jacksepticeye like two years ago, just like two weeks ago. It was like demonetized. I was like, okay. But we're still getting videos demonetized. We did a video with Jacksepticeye two years ago.

Just two weeks ago. It was demonetized. Why? What the hell? Which one was that? The Drawful episode. We played Drawful with him. There's a few naughty ones in there.

Two naughty jokes. Good old Sean dropping those bad words. It's possible that a fan might have flagged it. Yeah, they do that sometimes like it'd really be that way i mean like have you've been on youtube for a while you've been have you kind of has mass flagging ever been a problem for your channel at all like when like people would like just kind of like troll or like try to get at you in some way i think i think at one point it was i think it was a problem for a very short amount of time but it was a problem for everybody so what youtube essentially ended up doing i think and i

i can't say for sure because i don't i don't work there but i think many channels were sort of whitelisted from that from uh automatic flagging of videos so like channels that that were that could be like trusted to not put out you know file content they were sort of exempted from this automatic flat like if somebody if enough people flag it it gets removed because there were like roaming gangs of people that would go around and flag and yeah just flag flag people like they might be on reddit and be like hey fuck this channel let's all flag it yeah yeah uh so youtube combated that by by i think whitelisting a lot of and i don't know that for sure this is just just a guess rumors i remember i remember

the day youtube switched from like 4 3 to 16 9 and i got home from school and i was like i'm gonna get on youtube and i remember it was wide and I was like, what? What the hell? I thought it was like a glitch at first. Really, really blew my mind. I remember struggling to try to get the best video quality out of YouTube. Back when it was 360. Yeah.

Like 360p. Yeah. I remember we were looking at and like the best way to get the best possible quality you could out of the crappy compression that that youtube had back then and now it's like it doesn't even matter like you could upload in 4k and it's like like three seconds yeah yeah that's crazy i mean you've really you've really been through the the whole youtube ringer like you've seen all the changes and shit. Yeah.

Yeah, I mean, I pay less attention to it now. Yeah. Because it's like I just kind of just focus on the content and not on, like, the back-end stuff. I feel very fortunate for that because I know a lot of people still have to deal with that. Yeah. Was there ever, like, a legitimate worry that, like, maintaining a sketch channel through changes wasn't gonna work out because there there was a period in time where it seems like youtube was kind of like demanding one thing and for like sketch comedy to prevail like it was actually pretty cool so that's how we started we did like sketch comedy yeah we had sketch comedy channels

um and um basically you know youtube after so many changes it was like sketch comedy the size we were it just wasn't going to be making kind of like yeah money that would help like well and i think i think like still like the algorithm doesn't favor sketch comedy like sketch comedy takes a lot of time and resources to to to create just like animation and also when you then you only get like a couple minute video and the way YouTube works, it's like that's not going to be profitable. No. I'm not saying it's all about the money but like if you're trying to make a living

off of YouTube, it's like YouTube unfortunately doesn't favor. And if you're a sketch channel, you're typically working with a lot of people to get the stuff done. You know, it's hard to shoot a sketch with just two people. Yeah.

I'm sure you guys know. Yeah. It's tricky. Yeah. So you, you need, you need more people and those people need to be paid. Yeah. You know, you can't just, you can't just, you know, pay people in pizza. So.

Try. I mean, actually, that's how we were going to. You definitely could. You were talking earlier about the cut of the. Oh no, cash only. Not pizza we were going to. You definitely could. You were talking earlier about the cut of the. Oh, no. Cash only. Not pizza? No.

Cash. Gift cards. $100 bills. Oh, yeah. It was good. Buffalo Wild Wings. Crispy crust. Gift card.

Crispy crust. Okay. I will settle for crispy crust. Okay. Is that 10 bucks? Let's make it like 12. We don't have 12,000? Yeah. All right. Yeah. So we. No. let's make it like 12 12,000? yeah

so we no I mean we'll it's fine we'll talk about it after the podcast oh god this was a mistake we can actually wait you're not charging by the minute right? of course

oh he's counting those seconds okay well maybe we should wrap it up here then we can keep going. No, it's fine, man. It's been a long podcast. I didn't realize that I actually overlooked the message Ricky does by the minute. Okay, well. You should have read that contract.

YouTube for a while. Yeah. So like, that's so weird. Like, this sounds weird. Like Smosh is probably why we started doing YouTube in the first place. That's crazy.

I think it is the reason why I started making videos. Yeah. I mean, we were just right place at the right time. I was always jealous. If it wasn't, if it wasn't us, like it would have been somebody else.
