Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, it's that time of the week again. The time of the week that you've all been waiting for with bated breath. It is the Super Mega Podcast. I am Matt Watson, here with my good best buddy, Ryan McGee. And this is episode 146. 146, ladies and gentlemen. Now that's a big number. Yes.

That's a pretty big fucking number. We're almost at 150. I'm very excited about that. We got to figure out what to do for episode 150. We'll figure it out, though. We got some ideas. A lot's been happening, man. We are creeping closer to 700,000 subs.

We haven't recorded a podcast since before I left for vacation. Yeah. So let's talk about something because there's something new. Well, there's one thing. Let's get out of the way. Spoiler alert. Before we talk about other stuff, we're going to talk about Godzilla King of Monsters, the movie. So fast forward.

We'll get it right this time. We'll put it on screen, hopefully. The time code is on screen. We didn't do it for John Wick 3, but we'll do it for godzilla king of the monster and also if you're listening on on mobile or spotify or some shit here's microsoft sam saying the timescode just the time the time code to skip to 20 minutes and 14 seconds better remember that because i didn't um got the new godzilla movie was awful holy shit and i already know that because i've seen the

type of people that defend that movie and you can like the movie i'm not saying you you uh can't like it all i'm saying is when i say i can't like it i think it's really dumb when people go what did you expect it's a godzilla movie about giant monsters like so what pacific rim was fun and entertaining yeah and that was about giant robots fighting monsters. This Godzilla movie, well, what upset me was I actually, I really liked the first remake they did with Bryan Cranston. Yeah. And I went into this one, like, actually expecting it to be good.

And then I was just slowly like, oh. They had Millie in there. This is not good. I know. And like, there's this guy that I like, I can't remember the actor's name, but he was in Get Out as the father. And he was also in Cabin in the Woods as one of the guys that works in the lab or that whatever it is yeah and do you know what guy I'm talking about yeah he had a lot of insufferable he had a lot of lines in it where I'm like I don't I think it's the directing

like they just directed it so flat and then whenever he said something it just kind of didn't land maybe also it is the writing maybe it is the writing yeah it definitely was the writing too because like well if you remember there was there was a one scene that I will like be like why was it directed like this it was the scene where like what's his name Kent Watanabe

is that his name Watanabe? Kent Watanabe I'm Kent when he's like talking to the main dude that like the dude that loves wolves or whatever he does he researches wolves he's like taking off his glasses slowly and they shoot it with like intense close ups

so it comes off as like a very intimate romantic scene I was like in the middle of the scene I was like why are we just getting close ups of these two dudes? It's like he's he did the whole like takes off his glasses and looks at him and looks at yeah exactly If they throw that in there, I'm like, oh like I guess I saw that coming all the human stuff was garbage the monsters

Were decent, but the fighting was boring Well, they could they kept interrupting the fighting like there'd be like a sick fight did that in the first one, too But they do it like if it was just cut to the dude he's like looks like she's been working out stop just let him fight why you gotta put that scene in there oh my god zilla oh ha ha that that i i like there's like one dude in the theater that was like as i said you can like the movie I'm not judging you for liking it. I'm just giving my own opinion and Matt's giving his. I thought the message was so hand-fisted and shoved down your throat. Because it's really not a hard message to get with Godzilla.

What the underlying theme is of Godzilla. It's pretty much the same theme every time. Yes. Which is fine. I just think they have Charles. I think the actor's every time. Yes. Which is fine. I just think, like, they have Charles. I think his name is, the actor's name is Charles Dance, which is the. Dance, Charles, dance. The old bald British guy that's, like, super tall and his voice is very commanding.

He plays Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones, which is, like, one of my favorite roles that he's played. But, like, I feel like they just misuse him. I'm like, he deserves better. But he just plays this dude that just... The best way I can describe this movie is everyone plays a person that says things and that's all they are. I don't get any difference in personality

other than the father who overacts. Which sucks because I really like him. What do you mean you can't do this? He's good in a lot of roles. You get that thing, it's going to destroy the whole population. That's a really good impression. He was in, I'm trying to think, what? I don't know his name.

He's in so much shit and I've never learned his name. You know, like, he's in Wolf of Wall Street. He's like the FBI. He's good in Wolf of Wall Street. He's fine. He's great in that role. He's in Super 8. He was like turned to 10 10 like everyone's like so what do you think we're doing well i think that it's this won't bring it i love when they would like bring like all the

personal family shit into this scene come on it was like the movie felt like a soap opera godzilla smushes his son and so he's like and he's like and his wife is gonna like release all the monsters and he's like this won't bring gonna like release all the monsters to and he's like this won't bring him back and i honestly the monster fighting wasn't even fun the the monster fights were not honestly i was not that entertained by him like i was like these are boring they didn't pull enough uh enough of the like ooh kind of shit the way that godzilla defeats king godora is that his name Ghidorah which is my favorite one of all of them which is I thought it was very

anticlimactic of how he just gets a bunch of radiation and uses himself as a radiation bomb yeah they had a cool little fake out at the end of that where the smokes cleared and you see one of King Ghidorah's heads is like my oh no he's still alive and then you figure out that it's like it's in the mouth of the other one which I really like Ghidorah I think Ghidorah the three headed King Ghidorah sorry

from space I missed that scene apparently cause I went to go take a piss and apparently I missed the scene where they're like Ghidorah's from space I really thought it was goofy when they had all the monsters bowing. Oh yeah, the Godzilla. And I know people are like, oh you're...

Is Godzilla the queen? Is Godzilla the female? No, Mothra. No, I don't know. I have no idea. Who cares? Mothra's the girl. Who cares about the sex or gender of these things? I do. I want to see them fuck. It doesn't matter. Do you think they're going to... Yep. We're going to?

Yep. We're going to get big old Kong, and if they do another movie, it's going to be Godzilla versus Kong. They will, because I like the credit sequence. It was showing newspapers, and it's like, scientists discover loud noise under Skull Island. It's like, oh, I wonder what the next movie's going to be. And then they end it with showing you Kong. Look, I'm all...

Kong's always been the goofiest one to me. I love King Kong because I love movie... Here's something about it. It's this weird thing. I can enjoy a good kaiju movie, but I like a good just regular old... Jew movie. Yeah, a Jewish movie. No, but like uh king kong like peter

jackson that was a big monkey but he wasn't the the size of a skyscraper i i like lake placid because the alligator in it is huge but it's not the size of like in the megalodon movie because there's there's a point where something gets so big it becomes a little too goofy yeah yeah or like if it's not done well it can just be too goofy or what I'm saying is I'm attracted to movies where the

monsters aren't so so big because I get bored a lot of the times when it's just a bunch of explosions and big things going on and you can say but you just said you like Pacificific rim look that was directed by a king pacific rim also has some real good fight scenes yes and it's real campy but like i still really enjoy it's uh the way that it's shot i liked yeah which this godzilla movie so i was i was nervous sitting there because i was like in my head i I'm like, is everyone else

that I'm here with enjoying this? And I'm just being an asshole for not liking it? And I leaned over halfway to, well, I leaned over to Rav, and I was like, yo, Rav, is this good? And he was like, no. And then I leaned over to Frank,

and I was like, Frank, is this good? And he's like, I love this movie. He's like, this is really good Frank. I was like, Frank, is this good? And he's like, I love this movie. He's like, this is really good. I was like, yeah. I didn't like it. I personally will never watch it again. The special effects. There were certain parts where it just looked like really poorly rendered effects.

I was like, really? Like, they're definitely. Because a lot of new CGI movies where they have, like, crazy monsters. Like, they've gotten so good. Where, course, you know, it's not real. But when you look at it, it's about as real as it can get. This had a lot of those shots where your brain instantly recognizes that's not real. It's like, oh, that's just rendered. It's very clear.

Like the lighting was off or like the motion. I like the eyes. I liked like whenever I could see the monster's eyes I liked it I don't know what it is about the animation with the eyes how they moved oh that looks like a creature's eyes cool good I like how big the eye is and that you kind of like what I'm trying

to say is that okay let me start from the beginning let me try to explain this in the 2014 Godzilla they depicted these things as more so creatures that we saw as gods. But in this movie, they depicted it as gods. Like, I never liked the idea from this movie that they were going to bow down to Godzilla and Godzilla was aware of this for some reason. And you've like the hierarchy.

Yeah. And like, I don't, I don't need to know that Godzilla is aware of this weird hierarchy where things bow down to them, like humans and other creatures. Like I like the thought, which is what the previous movie did.

If I'm thinking correctly back to it is that this is just a large fucking animal. And yes uh if it's threatened it's going to like it's territorial so it's going to defend its i guess place of living in place where it gets food but uh i there's something about a big animal that's looked up to as a god where humans make their own kind of humanoid – or sorry, where humans make their own conclusion on what Godzilla is. But in this one, it seems very much a matter of fact. Oh, it's like established, yeah. Where it's like he is a god.

It's like what? It's in the name. And he's standing there all triumphant and all these monsters start bowing down and then you see like the hieroglyphs of like the humans and then they go underwater and you see this giant fucking because they when they go to see the hieroglyphs they're like this was 4 000 years before the ancient egyptians and there's japanese on the wall which japan didn't it wasn't a thing back then. So like 4,000 years, 400, 4,000? They said it was like before the ancient Egyptians,

which came a lot before Japan did. So I thought it was just so cheesy. Yeah, but the Chinese language was like a shit ton of years after the Egyptians, right? Yeah, and it was Katakana, which is like the most modern of the Japanese alphabets. So I thought that was

goofy. That's my little weeb moment for you. Matt's weeb interjection of the Japanese alphabets. So I thought that was goofy. That's my little weeb moment for you. Matt's weeb interjection of the movie review. I'm not really going to get into it because I honestly don't remember that much. There was points where I really just wanted to fall asleep. Yeah. I drank a lot of wine at that movie. And one thing I found myself doing with that movie,

which I haven't found myself doing with a lot of movies, is like I kept just zoning out every scene and I'd come back and I'd zone out and I'd come back and zone out that's what I'm talking about the action made me zone out because I didn't care there was one point where I was like oh shit I haven't paid attention for 10 minutes of what's been going on

it's like they didn't get the good median in the last Godzilla movie they didn't show them enough and this one they showed them or the monsters and stuff way too much I did like the last one. I thought it was good. I, uh... Maybe I would feel different if I saw it now. I think the last, like, 20, 30 minutes of the last one was, like, really entertaining.

And I'd still watch the last one over this one. I have to agree. Like, the last one, definitely, for me, is definitely better. And I hate that they bring in all these monsters. And, uh... They just kind of create a human soap opera that happens in the middle of this. Honestly, like all the human acting was just like, like didn't even need to be in the movie. There's one part. That storyline was so stupid.

There's definitely overacting and on a lot of parts. acting and on a lot of parts and there was just a lot of moments where the dialogue just the dialogue didn't fit for the current situation that was going on or the dialogue just didn't seem very realistic for what should be happening uh you you have in the beginning of the movie they're they're holding a meeting with Congress that actually is my biggest pet peeve when it comes to dramatic or action movies where people's

reactions to something big and like a dramatic movie seem too fake they wouldn't react like that that's just how they're reacting in the movie people like cracking jokes because it's coyly written in Yeah. Where it's like, where people are cracking jokes because it's like coyly written in the script. But it's like, no,

you'd actually be reacting way different. And I want to see that. Like I want to feel the fear. My favorite line is, I read it in a fortune. Oh, yeah. I was like, no. The Japanese character.

No, no. Offered some like big piece of advice to another character. And he's like, did you come up with that and he's like i read it in fortune i was like jesus christ seriously are you serious they had to get that one i bet they gave the script to ken watanabe and he was like really guys you want me to do this one like yeah just come on it'll be good all right all right and like with the whole thing of first off monarch is this big company in the movie that seems to for some reason uh go over

the government or it has they are they're not like controlled by the they either go over the government or they just kind of go under however you want to explain it they are a different entity that the government has no say in or like the avengers in the avengers movie it's like an independent company that has all this power that's not tied to the government and therefore you'd think that usually when you see those companies they're very strict about certain things especially when dealing with a giant moth monster uh but they just let like a 12 year old stroll on into the facility and i'm just like, I'm questioning. I'm like, okay, that's her daughter.

And maybe it's because she's been living here that she brings her daughter here a lot. But I have to, I have to believe that Monarch, even though it's this company that's all about for the rights of animals, like they're not going to just let a child be in this facility with this giant fucking monster. Your dad worked at like, like a nuclear missile. They're not going to just let a child be in this facility with this giant fucking monster. If your dad worked at like a nuclear missile bunker, he'd be like, come on, come to work with me today, Ryan. I'll let you on in. Or like your parents work at Area 51, they just bring you there and see them like working on weapons and shit.

Dude, if your parents work in a fucking Wendy's, they're not going to allow you to go back and chill in the kitchen. Yeah, exactly. Or maybe some of y'all's parents do. And if they work at Wendy's and they let you come chill in the kitchen, that's pretty dope. I would more expect them to let you chill in the back office, but that if they let you chill in the kitchen...

I mean, it's a safety hazard, right? Which I would imagine would be for Monarch as well. I would imagine that a giant... Just birthed love monster. Or a giant larvae, because that's what it... I guess it started out as some fucking worm before it before it evolved itself it i don't know it's just there's a lot of this

stuff that was really goofy and then uh when the giant monster is starts to go bananas and kill people and shooting them with web they start shooting back at it and then that lady's like don't kill it i was like well of course of course they're shooting back at it and then that lady's like don't kill it i was like well of course of course they're gonna shoot at it because it's attacking them and it's a big fucking monster and it could kill everyone there like there's just i had the secret device i get her character uh i get what they were trying to do with her character in terms of her. Her penis. Her lack of. Her want for the established order to be stricken from the record because the current established order is ruining the world. And we need these godlike beings who she sees as gods, who she sees as the saviors of humanity to right our wrongs.

And restore earth restore balance restore restore natural order and balance into the world and that's what she sees and i understand that but there is a point to where when i'm seeing this giant creature lay havoc in a secretive lab and her reaction or anybody in the lab's reaction to this thing moving around isn't that of i'm getting the fuck out look if you work in a zoo and a monkey gets out of a cage all the people are gonna run out and be like oh shit oh fuck a big gorilla got like escaped but this thing is you're gonna sit there like watch it's wonder like i know like it just let me let my 12 year old daughter go up to it and pet it.

And people in zoos probably love animals. But if something escapes, they have people for that. But it seems like this movie didn't think too much of having those particular departments in that company. Did somebody say Harambe? Poor R.I.P. Harambe. R.I.P. Harambe. Well, it's been like three years now. Yeah, and I know I'm thinking too much about, as

people would say, a goofy monster movie, but you can have a monster movie that takes itself seriously or that is self-aware that can be pulled off. It can be pulled off. This movie just, I don't think,

pulled it off well. I think it had a lot of conflicting tones surrounding it. And it just needed to not just, I don't want to say just pick one, but it needed to decide what type of movie it was going to be. Because Big Monster's Fight is an action. That's not the type of movie this is. There are different types of giant monster movies. There's, there's monster movies that are directed, uh, like giant Kaiju fights. Like you see in Pacific rim, there's giant monster movies that are more shot in terms of,

uh, like it's a natural disaster, much like the first Godzilla was because even when Godzilla came out of the water in the first one, it created a tsunami. And when Rodan comes out of this one, it has it okay i see i see where my brain's trying to put together it seems like this movie was just a bunch of cliched genres put together that did nothing to make it entertaining there was all that yeah there was all of that nonsense that you and i kind of get bored out of and then when it has an inkling of something that's interesting, like when it goes to the humans talking about this stuff, the dialogue is bad and not thought out.

And so there's nothing really for me and I guess you to enjoy of it. No, I did not enjoy it. Okay. Which when we got out, like we were all kind of quiet. And then the first person was like, so that sucked, right? I'm usually very silent after a movie because I'm like, let me think about this. Was it as bad? Was it as good as I thought?

But this movie right away, like it was one of those movies where probably 15 to 20 minutes in, I was like, oh no, this is going downhill fast. Because the movie starts right off the bat. Like it starts with action. Yeah. Yeah. It doesn't waste time but which is nice yeah which is nice but it felt like it got us straight into the shit yeah it felt like a three and a half hour movie but it was what like two and a half two hours now john

wick three y'all want a good action movie that's fun i can't vouch for that movie enough that's a movie that takes itself seriously yet is also self-aware of what it is and uses that to boost itself up. And it does such a fucking good job. Y'all gotta go see John Wick 3 right now.

Speaking of movies, I got to go last week while you were out of town. I went to an early screening of Jim Jarmusch's new movie

The Dead Don't Die with Bill Murray. And uh, what's his name? I'm suddenly forgetting. Adam Driver and Tilda Swinton. And it was, he did like a Q&A afterwards, the director. And it was really cool.

I enjoyed it. It was fun. I saw early reviews. They didn't give it such a good score. Got like five out of ten. How would you say you enjoyed it? Don't score it, but say, would you recommend to see it in theaters or would you say wait to rent it?

I think it's fun. Okay. It left me feeling, there was a bit of emptiness there, I think. Like, almost, I'm trying to think of the way, like the way everything tied together. Maybe it just went over my head. But I still did enjoy it and i would recommend i think it was fun uh bill murray did a really good job i'm driving a good job it was really funny i'll check it out because it seems interesting there are a lot of funny parts um i think it's very

very fourth wall breaking just okay well like it's super self-aware but see there's the problem here's another problem when movies are self-aware um movies can be self-aware but then not be self-aware of the fact that it is more stupid by the fact it's being so there's like self-awareness is is not something that you can just be you have to yeah you know pull it off you can't like you can't just use that an excuse like us to be bad uh well i was actually so basically he didn't write the script like that at first. He said this in Q&A, but he added those parts in as like a joke and then showed them to Bill Murray and Adam Driver. And they liked it.

And they liked him so much. He was like, I'm going to take these out. And apparently they're like, no, you have to keep those in. Those are good. Okay. Like. So overall, you'd recommend it. Yeah.

I saw two movies when I was on vacation. Oh, what'd you see? I saw two movies when I was on vacation. Oh, what'd you see? I saw Booksmart and I saw Brightburn. I heard Brightburn was good. Was it not? I didn't like it. It was one of those movies where the only thing it has going for it, to me, was it's a movie that's propped up on its premise and its premise alone. And they could have done so much more with it,

but they, it seemed like they just got lazy and, uh, they had a lot of scenes that could have been cut. There's a lot of characters that I think could have been switched around. I don't want to get into spoiler territory, but there's just a lot of changes. Um,

and there's a lot of things that they themselves added, which I think took away from the movie and as i said it's just one of my review is it's it's nothing but its premise in my eyes and that sucks because if you just see him the premise is what if superman as kid was bad that's the premise and that's all the movie ends up being. There's no really overarching... There are themes, yes, but there's not like a solid theme that I could grasp onto.

It just seemed more or less just like slasher movie with bad Superman in it. And I wanted it to be a little more than that. I feel like it could have been. Super bad. It was. I wouldn't recommend it. And then, maybe, I don't know.

No, I couldn't. I honestly wasn't entertained. I won't see it again. And then Booksmart. I saw a lot of good reviews about it. Wasn't my type of movie. I've never liked college party movies in general. Wait, which one's Booksmart?

The one with the two girls and they find out that a bunch of the people that they don't like at the school are getting into good colleges and they partied all the time. And the kids that are the protagonists didn't party and they thought that the key to getting into a good college was to study and not go to parties or do drugs. And so they feel

like they've wasted their entire high school experience. They try to make up for it. The night before graduation is the one night where they're going to go to that one party and get their experience. I like that premise. It's fun. I liked the chemistry between the two actresses. And as,

as a, as a directorial debut from Olivia Wilde, it was fine. And there were a lot of jokes where i think the joke didn't need to be over explained or the joke didn't need to be explained at all there's like a lot of jokes that i thought could have just been in the background and they would have been funnier in the background that's what family guy does they'll do a funny joke and i'll be like that was pretty good and then they'll add one more line at the end that just kills it where they over explain it like that one final line of the joke where they have to like point out why the

joke is funny and i'm like damn it it was good until then and there's and honestly like there's a lot of points in the there are points in the movie that i have to give it credit for in terms of that it takes something and flips it around and does the opposite like we all know the classic scene where you see someone with long hair and the guy's like oh look at this sexy bitch and they turn around and it's a dude they did the exact opposite where there's a character that's a dude with long hair in the movie and this female goes up thinking it's him it's like hey it's like hey they do like the rare thing whatever and it turns around it's just another girl and they're like oh whoops is like so it's like it's cool it's just cool to see that shit i guess to see stuff flipped because it's coming from a female director i guess like i don't know if that was just if i

have to think that they take certain things that you usually see in a guy movie about parties and they kind of flip it they flip it a little bit um there are some interesting things they did with the with the movie in terms of there was like one like stop motion bit i guess it would be jobs when they're on uh there's talk about blow jobs yes um they're uh if i can't recommend it to see it in theaters, but if you want to rent it and give it a try, sure. But as I said, I feel bad for saying that it's bad because it's just not my type of movie.

Those movies have never been, whether it's Project X or whatever, those movies have never been my type of, like the big college funny ha-has. Maybe when I'm older and I become more nostalgic. Well, I never partied in high school as well. Superbad is the only one I'm a real fan of. There's Superbad.

I'm not a big fan of it. Drillbit Taylor. I'm not a big fan of Drillbit Taylor. I like that movie a lot. I'm not a big fan of Animal Party, even though it's a classic. It's a college movie, though. Animal House? Sorry, yeah, Animal House.

Animal House, I watched it and I was like, meh. Yeah, I... I liked Old School. Old School was pretty funny. Is that the one with the... The older men throwing the party? Yeah, yeah. Will Ferrell runs around naked.

I want to see Rocket Man. My mom saw it and said it was, she called me yesterday to tell me it was incredible. Okay. So. I like Taron Egerton. I'm also. Is that his name? I think it is.

I saw a movie called Broken Flowers after I saw The Dead Don't Die. It was another Jim Jarmusch film. Very, very good. Very good Bill Murray movie. And actually, you know what? There's something that we haven't even brought up yet since it's happened because we recorded the last two podcasts before we did this. This is our first podcast we're recording since Ryan's back in town.

Oh! Give it here. You're not keeping it this time please just put it in my pocket and i'm gonna save it for later okay um patreon baby let's let's let's take our sandals off you motherfuckers have been incredible holy shit and very supportive ryan and i were like crying because he was out of town when we launched it and we just called each other like five minutes in we were like what the fuck it's nothing you guys here's the thing like it's not something you have to do it's not something you have to do no not at all and don't feel bad if you can't yeah it's not something you have to do to watch the channel or be a part of the channel.

The way I would think about our Patreon is the way that Matt and I talked about how we wanted to set it up. It's kind of like joining a membership or joining a little club. For $5 a month, you get extra content. That doesn't mean like an extra Let's Play or anything like that. We're not putting the finales on Patreon or the first episodes on Patreon.

And I was like, don't feel bad. Just watching is enough. If you donate to the Patreon, And I was like, don't feel bad. Like, just watching is enough. Like, we don't, like, if you donate to the Patreon, it's not like you're a better fan or like a bigger, you know, viewer. We appreciate it because the way we see it is it's like a donation.

I don't feel... Maybe you have to help me on this one, Matt. I don't personally feel that we're making content for the Patreon

and holding it behind a paywall and people have to pay to see it. Yes, that is what Patreon is, but from the way I see it is that you guys donate with your money sometimes your hard-earned money to support us and so to be able for you guys to to donate that money we have to put stuff out for you like we want to thank you for that so we're gonna get some extra shit we're gonna get like shit we never released maybe like basically basically shit where it's like, well, where would we normally throw this?

You know, here's a little video we made. It would be weird to upload this on the channel. Let's throw it to Patreon. Don't see it as spitting in the faces of the fans that can't afford or aren't supporting the Patreon. It's simply the content is made to thank those who do join the Patreon. This isn't supposed to create some rivalry between who's a better fan or not. This is just, it helps to support us. And for a thank you of helping us,

as a thank you for supporting us, we provide extra content. And that's what that is. And I see it as kind of like a little membership that when you join- We'll give you like sneak peeks and shit because like, that's not keeping anything from anyone. It's like if,

you know, cause you're donating to help support us, we'll give you a sneak peek of this video. I know I worded that wrong. Cause at the end of the day, I know Patreon is like, it is this thing where you either pay or you don't see this content. And I'm not trying to make it sound any prettier than it is.

I'm just saying that the content is made for the people who support it. It's not made for like everyone. And we're trying to keep behind a paywall. Yeah. Which it is behind a pay. It's just, I don't know how to explain it. I totally get what you're saying.

Yeah. It makes total sense. I think people understand that too. And it's just like so fucking sweet. And I did the math. Our Patreon is the price of one video game a year. So not too much if you'd like to go support us. It's patreon.com slash super mega.

And by the time this drops, we should have already crossed 5,000 patrons, which is unreal because Ryan and I did not expect that. We did not expect that type of response. I expected like half that that which is like still incredible yeah and we're just we're just blown away more and more every time we do something new that you guys are so engaging and so fucking supportive because I saw so many people

that were like I don't even care if they didn't post anything on the page I just want to support and I'm like why that's like damn that's so fucking nice and we're gonna keep and for those who are donating to the patreon we are gonna keep updating it every week uh yeah every week um basically just depending on what we're doing we'll have more content out on it uh might be like a video where we're working on something it's just like a short behind the scenes just okay we're working on this stuff just to let you

guys know give you guys like back like a like a backstage pass in a sense i uh i legit thought about it last night where i found all these like fake photoshopped images of hillary clinton like naked like spreading her pussy and uh i thought about posting like hey guys we we got some like really really big like like someone leaked something to us that's like huge it's on our patreon people would go and just get that you know like, like naked Hillary Clinton photos. I actually got them all saved. Did I send them to you? Oh, your mom texted me, Ryan.

Here, Ryan, check these out. Hold on. I got this one. I got like this. I was thinking like go to our Patreon for like something big. Let's be like that. There are kids on our Patreon. Let's be like that. There are kids on our Patreon.

Let me tell you something. If a journalist came to you with a leak this big, you got to make sure the world sees it. That's all I'm going to say. Of course. We can start a Patreon to 18 plus for revealing those photos. Look at those pops. Look at those pops on the microphone. But seriously, guys, we got a lot of cool shit on the way,

not only for Patreon, but for the channel. Right now, you know, it's still going slow because Ryan's been out of town and we have to set up our office, which is going to take a bit, but I do really want to film a lot

of that progress, of the process, and try to share it with you guys, whether it be on the channel, Patreon, Twitter, Instagram, etc. We're going to do some cool shit with that office. And I can't stress enough that we're never going to take content that was once on this channel and hide it behind a paywall.

Super Mega Cast is now 20 minutes to listen to the rest. Go to our Patreon. Exactly. It's not going to be like that. But again, thank you for all those who are supporting us. It means the world to us. Through Patreon. And also, thank you to everyone those who are supporting us through Patreon. And also, thank you to everyone else

who, as I said, is supporting us through their own level of engagement in which they can. Don't ever go out of your way to like, if you need that $5, it's nice for you to give that to us, but please also be like financially responsible for yourself. If you need that $5, if you have other subscriptions that you have.

Keep that shit in your pocket. Exactly. You got bills to pay. You got student loan debt. Fucking, we'll be fine. Keep that for yourself. But, again, thank you so much. If you guys want to do check it out, it is in the description.

If you want to click that link, join that little community. It's cool. We do a lot of direct interaction on there, join that little community. It's cool. We do a lot of direct interaction on there too, like responding to comments and shit. But yeah, that's about all the Patreon talk I got. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Do I?

Yeah, you do. Okay. You fucking do. We went to E3 this week, which by the time this drops, I don't know if we've dropped any E3 videos. Who knows? But tonight's a Fortnite party. Yeah, tonight we're going to- And we'll talk about E3 and all of that after these ads.

Oh, okay! Da da da da! Da da da da da da! Bum bum! Let's all talk about something we can agree on. Saving money. Oh, shit. Oh, who turned the air conditioning on right when I'm starting this ad read?

Ooh. Thomas Wolf said, they call it honey because of all them sweet deals. Honey pot emoji. Ma Fernanda said, I was going to spend a little over $200 on Fashion Nova, but honey came in clutch and helped me save $84.49. That's literally almost half of that order.

What do you think of that, buddy? Has Dan ever farted on Game Grumps?

I don't think so. I don't think he's the type to do that. Aaron shit his pants on Game Grumps. There was a period where you didn't want to fart on Super Mega. I didn't. I was very self-conscious. I was like, the girls will think it's hot. I know. You're like, what?

Yeah, then you realized you're on a Let's Play channel. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I'm a fucking Let's Player. Girls already don't think I'm hot. I might as well just rip it. You're doing that yourself, buddy. Yeah, then you realize you're on a Let's Play channel. Yeah, I'm like, oh, I'm a fucking Let's Player. Girls already don't think I'm fine. I might as well just rip it. You're doing that yourself, buddy. Yeah, yeah. I already kind of sealed the fate with the whole Let's Play thing. Matt Watson, sexy.

No. Matt Watson, make me go ooh-woo. Ryan McGee, make me go sploosh out pussy. I want to put pictures of them and cut Ryan's eyes and put them on Matt's eyes and cut off Matt's nose and put it on Ryan's nose. I'll make a mishmash of them. Then I want to rub them on my balls. The perfect human.

They say the perfect humans don't exist. All you have to do is switch Ryan and Matt's eyes and nose. Ew. Imagine how horrible that would look. My beady little eyes on your face. I'd have your nose too. You'd have my big-ass honker. Dude, I think you with any smaller of a nose would look weird.

I'll get some surgery. You'd look like fucking Voldemort. What if I tried to really get my nose reduced in size, but it's just like that big now? And I'm just like, dude, I didn't get surgery. What are you talking about? I think all your features are perfectly sized to make your face look as handsome as possible. Thank you, Ryan. Thank you.

I mean, I'd say the same thing about you. You got a nice ass nose. The shape of that is very whoop. Well, it's very down. Yeah. Straight down. That's nice. That's a track.

There's no curve. Mine's got a little. Is there a curve? I think it's just a straight down. There's no curve. And see, mine's got that kind of obtuse curve where then it kind of just has that weird angle. And I got those long ass teardrop nostrils.

You got nice round nostrils. Mine are just fucking whoosh. I have a very deviated septum. I got to long ass teardrop nostrils. You got nice round nostrils. Mine are just fucking. I have a very deviated septum. I got to take care of that too. Unique features extend themselves to provide a unique experience for the ladies. So I'm sticking my nose into the pussy. Yeah. Deep into them.

Yeah. They love that dude. They go crazy for that. Yeah. You blow your snot rockets in there. Oops. I forgot to use a nose comb. Oh, that's gratuitous dude. Let's get some plan B. Oops, I forgot to use a nose condom. Uh-oh. That's gratuitous, dude.

Let's get some Plan B. Man, that's fucking gratuitous. That is gratuitous. Is that the right word? No, gratuitous means like charitable, right? No. Gratuitous? Gratuitous violence?

Too much? Gratuitous, like gratitude. Yeah, but why do people describe violence as gratuitous violence? Because there's so much extra violence for free. Look at the word gratuitous. Oh my fucking God. Hold on. Siri.

Siri, what does gratuitous mean? Uncalled for. Lacking good reason. Unwarranted. Do you want to hear the remaining- It's gratuitous. No. Yeah, I was wrong.

Matt Watson, wrong compilation. 45 minutes. I think we'd have a lot longer than that. A lot longer than that. I've said my fair share of things that were incredibly wrong. But that's what happens when you've got to talk several hours a week out of your ass on the internet. Of course. You're going to say some wrong things. You might wonder, why don't you guys research before you even bring up those subjects and i say why why the fuck would i want to become an expert false x information to the masses you know um well i don't think that you and i are giving like any legal or medical because

if you're getting information from let's players like that's already a pretty like a source yeah um like i don't think any teacher would let you uh use us as one of your sources for a paper If you're getting your information from Let's Players, that's already a pretty eh source. I don't think any teacher would let you use us as one of your sources for a paper. Because remember, they wouldn't let you use Wikipedia. Unless you want to be a Let's Player and you're writing a paper on Let's Players. Which you could. I imagine they'll start introducing Let's Play classes in college soon. Like how to be an online- Don't they already have those?

They probably do. How to be like an influencer. How to be a YouTuber. YouTube class. Yeah, we should teach that shit. We should like, after we retire superman, go teach college lectures on how to be YouTubers. So you guys might remember us. Remember Blonde Boys?

Remember all that other stuff we did? It's simple. All you have to do is catch a deep voiced Let's Player when he has 50,000 subscribers and ask him to be in a live-action video because he's tired of being asked to do Let's Plays, and therefore he wants to do something different. So if you give him the only avenue to do something different and you show that you have at least a schmeckle of talent... That's all you gotta do, guys. Well, anyway, hope you all have a good day. That's all for this quarter. That's what I did. Yeah, that's what you did. I mean, I kind of did the same gotta do, guys. Well, anyway, hope you all have a good day. That's all for this quarter. That's what I did. Yeah, that's what you did. I mean, I kind of did the same thing with you guys.

We, no. Syndigo never made, like, it made, technically made money, but I was never living off of Syndigo. Yeah, I was never, I never saw a single synth. Mark was always the big boy up top. Mark was the big, the big muscular man up top. The Zeus of the kingdom. Like a teapot.

Eh, boys, welcome to heaven. The gatekeeper of God's kingdom. Mark's much like a teapot. Short and stout. And filled with things that excite the masses. Absolutely. Might burn the tongue, too, because they're so goddamn hot. That is true.

Those fucking dark-ass n nipples get them out of here minus he did have some dark nipples imagine if he fucking listened to this and that's what he would get upset over

he sues us my nipples are not dark you're like your honor jury please look at my nipples those are some dark nipples Mark what

he has a form of body dysmorphia where like he sees his nipples as a different color from what they really are. These nipples are bright pink! Your Honor! Anybody could see! I got that, I just got regular pink. I'm not even pink. You got salmon colored nipples. I got just a regular- These are like dark tan.

Just regular pink. Are yours more pink than mine? I don't know. Did you know your- I heard this this morning. It was funny. Your... All right. Your nipples are older than your teeth. Older?

Older than your teeth. Yeah. Why not? That's cool, right? It's one of those weird facts. Yo, I saw this post that ruined my day. It was like... That's not funny.

And I hate him and he's annoying. No. No. It was a list of like just things that like you that's not funny. And I hate him and he's annoying. No, no. It was a list of like just things that like you don't think about. But when you start thinking about it, you can't stop thinking about it. Like? You can feel all your toes touching each other. Now you're going to consciously breathe.

Oh, yeah. Like those little things. Every time you swallow, you can hear a crack. My least favorite one. It was like 50 of them. You know what my least favorite one is? You can always see your nose. I hate that one. Oh no. You know what I mean? It's always there. Yeah it is, there it is. You can always see your nose.

Your mind just blocks it out. It's so used to it. Damn it, now I'm breathing consciously. You can always see the bridge and then nose. Now I'm thinking about how I can feel my toes touching, I can see my nose. And I have to like consciously think about breathing now. And I feel like I can't breathe.

Don't, don't. What if like somebody's like go to the hospital? I can't breathe. Oh. The Let's Player did it. The funny YouTube man. Oh. Speaking of funny YouTube men.

I went to Kill Bill and Rav's house show they did I'm sorry that was another one do you want this one too? yep come on I can't keep this one? nope sorry basically they were gonna do this show at this like wrestling

like arena thing but then the night before the venue canceled on them so uh they were like scrambling to find a new thing because then you're not didn't they give them the numbers they could sell tickets for so they're the ones something like that i had no one that canceled the event it was it was because they reached capacity and like we got to cancel the whole thing uh so that they were like freaking out all night um and and they were like how are we gonna do this show because like rab flew all the way over here bill flew all the way over here people were flying out for this show uh but some dude was nice enough to use their house uh up north of like

hollywood some random dude it's one of their friends oh okay but he was like it was so cool it was like a great backyard uh a lot of really cool people there. A lot of people showed up. I wanted to go and I could have gone, but I just like, I literally, my flight landed at 530. Yeah. I got home and there was like no way I was going to go back out and go to a party. It was fun though. You like, they, they put on a really good live show and Frank. I went to their last one.

I love their show. I hate that. I hate that. I didn't get to see Frank and them. Have you ever seen Frank live? Yeah. I did it, guys. I finally did it.

I saw Frank live. You remember on the last podcast? You and I have seen him live before. In fact, I don't know why he was being so upset about it because we gave him a position on stage in front of 500 people at the Christmas show.

He opened over a Christmas show. I did see him live. So we did see him live. He sang Feliz Navidad. And he did perform He opened over a Christmas show. I did see him live. He sang Feliz Navidad. And he did perform in front of a large audience. I might call his ass about it. He actually just texted me. Speak of the devil. Oh, it's just how... For those who think I'm serious,

I'm not insinuating that Frank owes us anything. Actually, he does. He owes Matt an apology. He owes me just one. A kiss will make it, right? But I saw Frank's live set. It was wonderful. The crowd was really turning up. I'm sure some of you guys saw the videos where I got stuck on the roof because I was

shooting a little something up on the roof. You were shooting someone? I had my gun up on the roof. I got it right on Rav's head. And then everyone noticed me, so I had to pretend like I the roof. I got it right in my crosshairs. Right on Rav's head. And then everyone noticed me, so I had to pretend like I was joking. But basically, I was shooting something up there. And then I had to get down before they started the next song so I could shoot something else.

And then I thought, Harrison and I got up on the roof. We'd had a little bit to drink. We didn't think about how to get down from the roof. It didn't look like that far of a drop. In the video, it does not. It was, though. It was actually like, it's too far to jump for sure.

But if you do that thing where you dangle your legs off first, that cuts like half of the distance. Very You got long legs. Very unstable roof. Should I have someone catch you? If I did the thing where I was just barely on the edge, I feel like it would crack and it would just come down.

Okay. You don't want to fuck up the tiling on the roof Yeah, I don't want to fuck up some random dude's roof, too, because I had to get on this one flat part of the roof. Well, he didn't give you permission to go up there. He did, he did. But it was like a flat tin area, which clearly didn't have the support like the rest of the shingles did, so every time I'd like inch my ass across it, I could feel it

sinking down, and I had to lay on there, and Harrison would like put his foot on it and shake the whole thing while I'm trying to film. I was like, Harrison you motherfucker. First the pretzels, now this? He's the older brother so you have to know he's the one that bullies. No, but usually it's the little brother

that does the annoying. Is it? The little brother is the annoying one. The little brother is the annoying one but the older brother is, yeah. I mean the middle brother is just like Malcolm, you know? Just in the middle. Usually normal. Yeah normal yeah normally normal usually very like introverted into themselves or maybe the middle child because they don't get enough attention acts out that's true that's who knows i don't know do you wish that you do you ever wish that you had grown up with like siblings like a brother or like a sister? Not really. I don't know.

The way I grew up and my personality now, I'm very to myself. So I couldn't imagine it because it would be a different thing. Well, I feel like that also has to, a lot of that has to do with the fact you were an only child. Of course.

I mean, I had stepbrothers and a stepsister. So, I mean, cool, I guess. Did you guys live together growing up? Every other weekend. Oh, yeah. And live together uh every other weekend oh yeah and during the summer every other week i never was that close to my sister growing up just because she was a teenager in high school at the time you're always the little brother yeah like what she's not gonna want to hang out with her little brother like she's gonna go hang out with her friends and do high school or stuff but i'm her little middle school brother it's like why would you want to

but now that we're adults, we're all real cool. Insert funny wedding video joke here. She actually did bring that up to me recently again. She's like, I've seen a lot of comments about it. She's never getting that. When is her, oh, I missed their anniversary. Oh, my God. Yeah.

Well, it's not my job to remember my sister's wedding anniversary Oh it's nice Like Mother's Day I hope her husband remembered the anniversary By the way Father's Day is this weekend guys Go get your dad something Hopefully just save some of your asses I thought it was yesterday and I started freaking out

You can go out and get yourself a fucking sports car today. Drive it around LA. Make sure you get that insurance though because you ding that shit up, they will charge you. Yeah, insurance at rental car places is usually only $45 or so.

I say only, but I'm taking that in the precedent of like, if you fuck up the car, you're not paying thousands of dollars. Like tens of thousands of dollars. Imagine like some dude gets a fucking like Mercedes from a dealer, like to rent. He's like, I don't need the fucking insurance. Just drives it off the lot and immediately like just totals it. I'm trying to think of what I want to do for my birthday. We got some plans for you. Do you? Yeah. Okay. If think of what i want to do for my birthday we got some plans for you do you yeah okay if that's what you want do you want do you want to plan something or

It's an expensive birthday cake.

And I will guilt you over it. But as long as I can have a slice. And we're all putting our money together for it. And I don't mind it because it's like one of the fucking best cakes in the world. Okay. Okay. It's fucking good. Okay.

It's from Milk Bar. Yeah. Which is like a real famous place in New York and LA. They got good ass cakes. We got one for Harrison's birthday and I took a bite and I was like uh oh that was bad cause like it is honestly like the best birthday cake I've ever had

I had corn yesterday, but it was that, but it was rolled in hot Cheetos, like ground up hot Cheetos. Was not very good actually because I asked for it on the stick, but they gave it to me in the bowl and it was clearly like frozen corn they'd microwaved. Not good. Corn man doesn't do that shit. But Rav got one on the stick and it was pretty good. We should have a night where it's like a make your own, what is it called?

Elote. Make your own elote. And we have like a bunch of things where you can put however much you want on it. We even have like, we'll have the spice, the red pepper spice, I don't know what they do. Tahin. Yeah, the tahin that they put on it. We can also have crushed up hot Cheetos.

That sounds great. We also need to have another wine and cheese night soon. We do. Well, actually. There was someone on tour that made me so happy that said that since like we talked about doing wine and cheese night that they did a wine and cheese night. Like him and their friends started doing wine and cheese night. Yeah.

And I was like, that's so. Wine and cheese nights. There's nothing more wholesome than a couple of bros having a wine and cheese night. And actually, at the next one, we really want to show you Call Me By Your Name. That's a super homoerotic night. We're having wine and cheese and watching like an incredibly. I heard it's a decent movie. It's a fantastic movie.

I've been meaning to rewatch it. Because the first time I watched it, I paused it a time. I saw Good Time. Was Good Time good? I liked it. Good Time looked really good. I liked it. I like Robert Pattinson. He's good. I watched it, I paused it a time. I saw Good Time. Was Good Time good? I liked it. Good Time looked really good. I liked it. I like Robert Pattinson.

He's good. I can't wait for him to be Batman. Yeah, yeah. That looks pretty dope. So what kind of food I would want for my birthday? Yes.

Do you have a certain genre of food? A preference? I do love sushi. You love sushi? Well, keep that in mind then. Okay. Just because we don't

want to take you to a place that you're like, hmm, this is good, but... The thing is, I love sushi and I also love steak. So you can't go wrong with either or. 25 is a big number, dude. That's a big birthday number. Should I plan to be ready by a certain time?

I want you downstairs in your gown. Are y'all taking me on an adventure through the day or is it just kind of like? I got to figure that out. How's that going? Like you said the boys got something planned, but what do you mean boys i mean all of us of course i am one of the boys i we we got we have some ideas uh dude jackson won't be here for your birthday i just realized that so it's gonna be just you mean harrison jackson jackson i have to go to puerto rico i'm talking trips trips to Puerto Rico say the word and we go God I'm such an

asshole and I never thought I'd be like that because I was like does it make me a fucking weeb dude I want to go to Japan again so bad right the internet's over here grilling me like oh Matt goes to Japan too much okay first of all I've been less than Aaron so how many times has Aaron been

Aaron's been like 12, 13, 14 times I think he's like, I've been less than Aaron. How many times has Aaron been? Aaron's been like 12, 13, 14 times. Jesus. I think. He's like, man, I've been three. I love the story of how he just, on a whim, on his birthday, woke up one morning and was like, I want to go to Japan. And then he just went to Japan. I wish.

I know. I wish I could do that. That's so sick. That's very... But there's a part of me that's like, just go for a week. Go for a week. Enjoy a good bit of food. Because I don't know how to explain it, man.

And also, like. It's a wonderful place to be. It is. It's so nice. It's all about, like, manners and cleanliness. And if you find the right websites, you can get, like, a round trip ticket for, like, two weeks for, like, $400 or $500. I'm not sure.

Which is expensive. But, like, comparatively, like, from the East Coast, I remember it was like $2,000. From California, you get one for like $400 or $500. That's pretty good. Yeah, especially if you plan it in advance. Yeah, if you save up for that and plan it out, then like that's – for two weeks, I think that's worth the price. I will say, you kept saying that, you know, Tokyo was very like in the terms westernized in terms of its development and stuff like that. And I never really saw it until I went to New York City.

terms of its development and stuff like that and i never really saw it until i went to new york city and that's the clear distinction where you see the america like tokyo is the japanese version of a new york city yeah except new york city is gross and smells and it's not about manners it's about getting one up on your fellow brethren and then you got tokyo over here being all like yo we put high schoolers in bars and have old japanese men flirt with them more advanced i'm saying they're both off in their own way just just japan's more clean yeah yeah uh like tokyo definitely ain't perfect it's uh shit's they got some weird shit over there but it's almost like two different SimCity saves where like

it's like your little brothers and then like your college friend that has like straight A's that's like really into the game yeah like Tokyo's like your college friend and then like

New York's like your little brother who put some good hours into the game but you know it's like he didn't put that much thought into it though it's kind of

he has a dirty city a lot of crime I do want to go back to New York New York's really nice I love New York City but it's something because i love food there's something about japan's food culture i guess tokyo's food culture in general that i really enjoy america for sure with the food and and i'll say it say this and i'll say it again like a full meal for like six bucks a part of the reason I really like going

to Japan and I should just go to other countries where I don't speak the language is that there's this there's there's minimal

there's minimal interactivity there's minimal social interactivity with others which for an introvert that's beautiful I love it

I like go around and I'm like I can just look at people like we'll just wave you're almost like a spectator all it is you're like spectator mode almost all it is Which for an introvert. That's beautiful. I love it. I like go around and I'm like, I can just look at people. Like we'll just be like, boop, wave. You're almost like a spectator. All it is.

You're like spectator mode almost. All it is, is you can only really get across sentiments. And then you can get across very generic ideas. But there are a lot of Japanese people who know English. Who know English very well. Like you and I, the first trip, we got drunk with some random people. Yeah, that was fun. We spent some random dudes on the street.

It was essentially – We slept with them for a while. I looked at it as this. It was kind of – it was cool because they were testing their English out on you and you were testing your Japanese out on them. It was like this intermingling of things. It was nice. They gave great reach-arounds too.

Oh, yeah. They were real cool guys. It was a fun night. Small hands things. It was nice. They gave great reach-arounds, too. Oh, yeah. They were real cool guys. That was a fun night. Small hands. Small hands. I loved it, dude. But I do want to go back. Actually, you know what?

I know what everyone's thinking right now. They're like, so you guys are fucking talking about going back to Japan again, and you haven't released the fucking Japan. Hey, Joe! Guys, we got them on the way, and this time we mean it. We're back from everything. We're getting settled we mean it. We're back from everything. We're getting settled in the office. We're getting new equipment.

Our computers fucking suck. We're getting new equipment to edit these videos on. The Harajuku one, pretty much done. I've been putting work into that one. It's coming along good. We got the other ones, and we're just going to- Because we split it in half. They're like six videos or whatever.

Six videos. We each get three. And basically, this week is busy excuses excuse i know i know but it's a three week we got it we're going to e3 i'm working on a project outside of super mega that's gonna take up a couple days of my time we gotta move into our office which is probably we're probably still underestimating how much work that's gonna be it's gonna be fun though it's gonna be really fun it's gonna be like i think it's gonna feel like when we first started the channel that feeling of like building the channel it's gonna be it's gonna be fun though it's gonna be really fun I think it's gonna feel like when we first started the channel that feeling of like building the channel

it's gonna feel like that again but it's like building the next phase and I'm really excited to work on the recording studio and uh thank you guys for Patreon for real because like that's how we were able to fund this whole operation cause you know for instance our podcast last week got demonetized like

two hours after it was out and an episode of sekiro i've noticed that recently like we've gotten more within the past two weeks than we have in the past and before that stopped demonetizing for around like a month period we were kind of clean two months month we were kind of yeah like there's a period we just like did not get hit with anything but it's random like the sekiro episode i don't know like what was in that one the thing that I hate is they're never specific. At least, here's what I can say. At least with the copyright system, even though it is fucked, it tells you exactly where in the video they have a problem with it. I wish they could, if a person has to manually take away monetization from a video, take away someone's ability to make a living off of the content they made. At least have them highlight the timeframe

and give the example why. Then I can re-upload it without that. Then YouTube gets safer content on the website too. It's literally a win-win. Yeah. Because then they can run ads on it and they can make money too. Too much work for them, of course,

because there's so much uploaded in a day. Language, sexual content. It's like, for instance, we uploaded Duck Game episode two. The Patreon promo in the beginning has a very realistic depiction of us whipping Jackson's penis out of his hands. And masturbating him. But that didn't get caught.

That didn't get. And that's in the first like 10 seconds of the video. Yeah. Nope. But, oh, we have two rappers on the podcast demonetized. We don't even. What are we. What are we talking about? You know, it might be. We're always vulgar. We don't suck in the podcast demonetized. We don't even... What are we... What are we talking about?

You know what it might be? We're always vulgar. Did you put we don't suck in the tags? Yeah. TubeBuddy. It's a plugin I use. It has like words. It'll list like...

It'll search what you're doing and tell you for potential demonetization. Suck? The word suck, yeah. Bill and Rav can't monetize any of their shit. Because of suck. Yeah, I think so. So it might have been demonetized because just suck was in the tags. Then you heard of...

That's such a broken system because there's obviously a difference between the phrase we don't suck and the action of sucking upon a penis. of what your political beliefs are, regardless of whether what your personal beliefs are. YouTube can choose to demonetize whoever they want and they don't have to give an explanation. They really don't. I mean, they should. But when have we ever known YouTube to give a legitimate explanation and not something that seems more like backpedaling? I can't recall a situation where they've been 100 percent honest and open with. No, they they've they're kind of just transparent company. They act and then backpedaling. I can't recall a situation where they've been 100% honest and open with its creators.

They're one of the least transparent companies. They act and then backpedal. And just blatantly lie. And so that's why it's important for creators such as us and other creators out there to have other means of revenue, whether that be merch, Patreon, whatever it is, or an outside membership. And like ad deals

and stuff. And then like, you know, people are like, oh, you guys are selling out by doing Patreon, by doing brand deals. It's like, at the end of the day, we're always going to be creating this content. But at the same time, we do need to support ourselves, especially if videos start getting demonetized,

stuff like that. And as we grow, expenses become higher because for us to keep evolving, we need to be paying more people to help us. We need to be spending more money on equipment. Because we want to do more than just Let's Plays and a podcast. We want to be able to do more live action stuff.

We do have to take brand deals. We do have to do Patreon and stuff like that. And I never see it as selling out. There's a point where it's selling out. Lo and behold, we do say no to brand deals that we don't... Oh, a ton. We say no to a ton of brand deals. At the end of the day,

make that bread, YouTubers. get that get that Ryan and I are actually uh millionaires now which is pretty sweet multi millionaires yeah I just bought my first mansion thinking of buying my second dude do you ever just like look at other youtubers and then look at your bank account and you're like, where is that? Isn't it supposed to be there? Well, maybe we just suck at managing money. I don't think,

I think you can still be rich off of YouTube, but I think the, the main time period where people could get insanely rich off of YouTube was, was probably in between 2009 and 2013. Yeah. Yeah. Well now, well now like 13 or I'd say 15. Yeah, yeah. Well, no, like... 13 or... I'd say 15.

Let's just say 2012 to 2015, I think, was a very big time for YouTubers to make a lot of money. Definitely. I think also you and I also come from it being that it's a duo channel, so we have to split 50-50. Fuck California taxes, baby. Fucking like 35% or some shit and separate from that 50 50 split we also as we've stated early in the podcast we have a tab that builds up over time whether uh through artists um uh because you can't just

order merch and then it it's free and then we make money off of that. You have to. It literally costs thousands of dollars to order merch. Yeah. So you have to buy the merch. We're always. Pay for shipping. And here's the thing. Here's something I will say.

We're sorry that in the past, merch has been very small in terms of quantity. But that's mainly because we don't want to buy a lot of merch and then not we don't know how well stuff would sell i had no idea we had no idea how fast or how much you guys wanted yeah well it's merchandise bigger quantities in the future especially now that we uh as part of the two megaplex we we have an area that's going to be designated for merch. Yeah. So, you know, that's another expense. Still going to be packed by us and all that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But, and also, like, I don't want to mislead people.

Like, Ryan and I aren't poor. I don't want to just, like, pretend like, oh, we're not making any money. Like, we're doing well for ourselves. You and I, okay, how about this? Let's be fair. You and I are very comfortable in our living arrangements, are very comfortable in our living arrangements

but we need to be able to provide more content yes and build for the long term in our lives we're 20 now you're 25 it's like we gotta like this is the time

in our lives we need to start saving up for our future we didn't go to college YouTube isn't gonna last forever we need to think about degrees yeah exactly it's like how okay so after this youtube shit we gotta think because that's the thing it's like internet careers like ours it's like will we still be making money or around in 10 years yeah who fucking knows so right now let's try to save as much or like you take advantage of it because i because honestly like there i was swapping between my my when i was young something between my dad's apartment and my mom's house and

uh when i grew up i learned more and more that uh my dad made a lot of financial sacrifices on my behalf that was a detriment to his own financial security and um that and i know that when i'm trying to say is when we're when i say that we're comfortable financially like i never want to mislead people and say oh we're almost we're we're we're almost poor and we're almost on the streets and we need you guys to lift us up we'll be transparent like I think we make pretty good money with SuperMega it's definitely like a good yearly

wage I guess but for us to get this office hire Jackson for us to we want to be able to hire more people in the future as an adult now is expensive i fucking yeah there's trips to japan i'm sure cost a lot well actually uh i'll have you know that i busted my ic in my car and to get that fixed was more than a plane uh ticket to japan so uh shit like

that happens also like uh just like insurance and everything jesus christ so expensive being an adult a lot a lot of shit you gotta pay for california's expensive too at the end of the day super mega is our business and we gotta make sure that we can keep super mega afloat so we can stay afloat because if super mega is not a is not a self-sustaining thing if it can't if if if the brand can't make money then we have we don't have money just like a lot of creators out there if if you see shane dawson jenna marbles all the game grumps even whoever creator you see if their brand does not make money they do not have a job for the most part and those guys like shane dawson make make fucking like millions a month off of that shit. And it's a weird position because our.

It's always weird. Our income is based off of our brand and our personality. Our personality is our income in a sense, which is weird. Yeah. Yeah. That is really weird. It's almost like. There's that fear of becoming unlikable

and therefore then that's your living. Or becoming too into the brand in the sense of looking like you're selling or you're not authentic and just doing it for money. And I think one thing Ryan and I can promise you, which we've promised from the beginning of this channel over three years ago, and I still think to this day

we've held true to that is that we will always be legit, we will always be ourselves, we will always be transparent and you're not ever going to see us sell out in the sense of like we're uploading just to make money we like doing this, we have a blast and we're more excited than ever for the future

especially now with the support from Patreon because it opens, it broadens the horizon of what we can do by a lot and I think that from here we're going to go up real high and we're going to get a lot more cool shit out there and we're always going to have fun doing it because if we're not having fun doing it we're not going to do it it wouldn't be worth it

because you know we can make money elsewhere but we like doing this with each other we like kissing we like having a good time like wrestling like monkeying around with each other in the mud pit in the backyard you know how it goes yeah just guys doing guy stuff but anyway i mean that's a that's a pretty we talked about a lot of shit pretty pretty decent podcast so thanks everybody for joining in and uh if you do want to support us on patreon again we will state you do not have to.
