Starting point is 00:01:26 At participating restaurants in Canada for a limited time. Welcome one and all to Super Megacast episode 157. We have some news, Matt and I, who is sitting to my right. Isn't that right, Matt? That's absolutely right, my friend Ryan McGee. One bit of news more important than another piece of news, which we will share after this. What are we announcing first? That we're recording in the...
Starting point is 00:02:00 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So we are... This is the first ever thing... Matt's brain. What's new about this? Well, no, I didn't know if we were announcing him or we're announcing the podcast. No, no, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, this is the first ever thing... Matt's brain. What's new about this? I didn't know if we were announcing him or we were announcing the podcast. No, no, we're not announcing him. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Starting point is 00:02:11 Jesus. Talk. Dude. Seriously? We said not to talk. Speak when spoken to. Anyways, Matt. Come on, brother. Go on. So, listen to this. We are... This is the very first thing we are ever, ever, ever recording from our
Starting point is 00:02:28 brand new podcast studio. Still not fully set up. Not fully done. But it's at the point now where we have enough equipment. The soundproofing has all been installed. A very lovely company helped us out. We got the chairs. We got everything. And now we're in our little podcasting room.
Starting point is 00:02:43 And it feels good. This feels really nice. I can just sit in this relaxing chair and actually look at people because before we recorded on a couch, so we'd all be facing forwards and then we'd have to crane our necks 90 degrees to look at one another. Like a deep ass couch too. So we were like sitting back in this thing and we'd have to just look at each other. My phone.
Starting point is 00:03:01 Was that your phone? My phone went off. It was a text tone. Sorry. It's fine. It has to happen, right? First time for everything. Yeah, first time for everything.
Starting point is 00:03:08 There was something else. What was it? Hold on one second. Jackson got a haircut. Yeah, Jackson got a haircut. It was some... Harrison is getting his motorcycle license. He needs to do that quick.
Starting point is 00:03:20 Doesn't he only have a month to get all that shit figured out? Yeah, he has two or three, I think. Okay. I think until some point. Does he know what kind of motorcycle he's getting? Yeah. A real cheap one. Oh, Justin's here.
Starting point is 00:03:29 Oh, Justin. Hi. Yeah. What's up, man? I like how you guys said that I was the less important news. I mean, do you think you're more important than the business exceeding its personal goals? Just good to hear. It's nice.
Starting point is 00:03:44 You're a part of the business. Do you think you're bigger than personal goals? No, God no. It's just good to hear. It's nice to stay grounded. You're a part of the business. Do you think you're bigger than the business? No. Because, Justin, I like, you're over here saying it's nice to stay grounded, but at the same time, staying grounded does not sound like someone proclaiming that they're higher
Starting point is 00:03:57 than the business they work for. That's kind of the opposite. That sounds like Justin's on a jumbo jet 50,000 feet above the ground. Well, we're here just picking up trash, trying to help out the environment down below on Earth. Justin's smoking cigarettes inside, which we said you couldn't do, but he has been doing. Throwing them on the carpet. You've burned the carpet at least three times now.
Starting point is 00:04:15 I said at least, like, if you're going to smoke, don't smoke 100s. Smoke regulars. The 100s, Justin, I can't believe you got addicted to nicotine that fast. Look, we went to Staples earlier, and there were a bunch of signs there. I didn't see a no smoking sign get bought. So I just assumed that that's true. Maybe we need to buy one of those. We bought the bathroom signs.
Starting point is 00:04:33 We bought the office sign. We didn't buy the no smoking sign. Yeah. Well, I mean, you shouldn't have been smoking in Staples either. But it's pretty apparent you shouldn't smoke in here either. And I prefer, I mean, this recording room is much smaller than the Game Grumps recording room. Yeah. So if you do smoke in here, there's not going to be anywhere for that to air out.
Starting point is 00:04:52 So? I don't want to smell that. You smoke incredibly strong cigarettes, and that will get in my hair. That will get in my clothes. Oh, okay. And then when I see my mom later, she'll be like, why were you smoking? I'll be like, I wasn't smoking. She'll be like, bullshit, you were smoking.
Starting point is 00:05:06 And I'll say, no, I wasn't. People think they can be tricky and get that smoke scent off of them. I worked really hard sometimes to get it off. Have I ever gone through like what I would do? You have, but let me hear it again. I mean, Justin, in case you ever need to hide the fact that you're smoking from your parents. This is Ryan's Declassified smoke hiding survival guide. So what you do after you smoke, you have to change shirts.
Starting point is 00:05:33 Or if you know you're going to go smoke, have a shirt ready, like an undershirt that you can pull off the overshirt and then it's there. Because it's going to stick to your clothing. First of all, right? Always have an undershirt prepared. So you take off the shirt, no more smoke smell on your person. If you have long hair, pull it back because it could get in your hair. Next, you're going to want to go into the restroom, right? And then what you're going to have to do is thoroughly wash your hands with hand soap
Starting point is 00:06:01 and then wash around your mouth, kind of like a Heisenberg goatee shape. That's what you're working with. Afterwards, you wash that off. Then you're going to take mouthwash, pour mouthwash over your hands and then onto your mouth and then gargle it after you pour it onto your skin because it's alcohol and will get rid of scents pretty quickly. I wish I could have been there to watch that at one point.
Starting point is 00:06:26 I have it down to a T. You do, man. I did have it. I think that... He's still hiding it. When we publish a book, we should have a full color page, like a fun how-to page. But it's just how to cover up the smell of cigarette smoke from your parents. I think people are always like, when do you know smoking has become a problem?
Starting point is 00:06:43 I think when I find myself doing that regularly so I don't smell like smoke to hide from my loved ones. And the fact that you have it ingrained in your brain to such a methodical – Oh, yeah, dude. That's what you do. All right, kids, listen up. Yeah, now you're spreading it to the masses. Yeah, now all these young fan base, dude. Really helping out the fans.
Starting point is 00:07:01 Well, the young fans don't need this because they're using Juuls. Well, no, but underage smoking is going to be on the rise now. Versus death by Juul or electronic cigarette. I saw that someone died from vaping. I'm not going to say it was Juul, but it was some vape. It was like a hole got burned into their lungs or something. Is that what it was? That's creepy as fuck.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Well, because no one's done study. They just released these products and people bought them. And I think the problem was that they weren't FDA approved and the FDA is like, dude. Yeah, it's, I mean, because we don't really know the long-term effects of vaping because it hasn't been around long enough. We do know smoking but people still continue to do it so I don't
Starting point is 00:07:38 think studies really will affect the purchase. Well, not to mention the fact that when smoking was big in like the 50s and 60s or whatever they would say the doctors wanted you to smoke. Yeah. I actually, I was at a flea market. Okay. Sorry. Justin was telling me that like doctors back in the day would legitimately say, if you want healthy lungs that you need to smoke. Yeah. And like cigarette commercials, like the tobacco industry had a huge hold on everyone. Maybe not doctors, but commercials for cigarettes were like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:06 No, doctors would say it's like good, it's smooth on your throat. Because I was at a flea market. Like a lozenge? Yeah, pretty much, yeah. I was at a flea market. Clean out the lungs, dude. And they were selling these old cigarette ads you could buy, like framed. And one of them for like cool, for a cool cigarette said, it was like doctors and lawyers both recommend smoking
Starting point is 00:08:25 to ease the throat it's healthy and i was like gee wow how far that has come yes because if there's one person i'm gonna take advice from it's a lawyer like when it comes to smoking cigarettes listen they know everything should i be smoking these cigarettes absolutely you must do it you're i call my lawyer every time before i smoke a cigarette i say listen is this a good move and he's like absolutely it's a good move. They know law. Obviously, they got to know everything else. They do. They must be pretty fucking smart.
Starting point is 00:08:48 They know life. Well, I mean, talking about health and hygiene, a certain boy to the right of me had a bit of a few. Oh, yeah. Wait, are we getting into it this early? Yeah. I figured that was, all right, let's get into it. I mean, it's a good segue. We're talking about hygiene.
Starting point is 00:09:04 Just because. What better way to talk? Is there a better segue, Justin? No, I mean, this is, I don't think we'd have an easier transition for the rest of the podcast. Well, I was just going to say. I think you jumped on it at a good time. A lot of people that don't finish the podcast wouldn't hear it this early on. Or, you know, so if my mom wants to tune in, she'll listen to like 20 minutes, then turn it off.
Starting point is 00:09:23 And then the real unsavory shit can go there. Or someone that I'm trying to impress could listen to it. And then right away be like, oh, you jumped straight into this story. But let's do it. Yeah. I am ready to christen this recording room with some brand new stories. I mean, it happened at the office. So this is business discussion too.
Starting point is 00:09:41 Half of it happened at the office. You're right. You're right. 50% of it. Almost two thirds happened at the office. Almost two thirds, but a third time did not occur. Yeah. And if you, and people are wondering what the fuck are they talking about? They're keeping me on the edge of my seat. Matt, can you explain, uh, what happened multiple times yesterday? Well, before that, can you, can you introduce yourself to the audience again? Say,
Starting point is 00:10:04 hello, my name is blank, blank, first and last name. We're setting up like that. Say your age and then continue with the story. Say how far you made it through education. It's like a Law and Order episode. Here, Matt, before you start the story, remember, first and last name, age, and your education. Okay. That just makes it sound even worse.
Starting point is 00:10:25 Hey, everybody. My name is Matt Watson. Yes, that one from Super Mega. I am 23 years old. My highest level of education is high school. You just wanted to throw that in just so I'd have to say that. We're in the same boat, Matt.
Starting point is 00:10:43 Is one year of, one fourth of a bachelor's degree, I guess you could say that. We're in the same boat, Matt. Is one year of one-fourth of a bachelor's degree, I guess? I could say that. You only went to college for one year? Yeah. Oh, I went for two? Yeah, two. So you have half a bachelor's degree.
Starting point is 00:10:53 I have one-fourth. Justin has zero. I don't think there's a fraction of a bachelor's degree. I don't think they rip a bachelor's degree in half. Here you go. Hey, you earned it. You earned it. You get one-fourth every year.
Starting point is 00:11:06 Basically, segueing from that, yesterday, to be blunt, I shit my pants. Not once, but twice. The first time I can forgive you for because something similar happened to me. You were in your bed. Okay, well,
Starting point is 00:11:22 so... Weren't you? Yeah, I was in my bed. It's just, it's a disgusting detail. So it's about 6 a.m., right? Banana, my cat, wakes me up because he's playing with shit. I'm like, okay, he's probably hungry. You didn't move his litter box?
Starting point is 00:11:35 No, no. Basically, he's playing with shit, and I'm like, well, I'm awake now. So I roll over in bed, and I'm like, man, comfy ass bed, you know? And I'm there. And I like to sleep in my boxer briefs, right? It's very comfortable.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Oh, you look like you almost threw up in your mouth. There was three times. I don't know if you were- I saw three. I was just like, each time I was like, okay, put it down. I burped in my throat. I'm sorry for interrupting this story. It's okay.
Starting point is 00:12:01 Please continue. Basically, I'm laying in bed and I'm like, oh man, a little rumbly in my tummy. Looks like I must pass gas. So I do, as all humans do, so don't try to shame me guys. It's gross. Everybody does it, okay? Yeah. I do it.
Starting point is 00:12:22 And it's just that sudden like stomach dropping moment, like that heart drop, you know, that, that feeling of like right before, uh, you about to drop on a roller coaster. The warm air was a tidbit too warm, a little bit too warm, uh, within the Canyon. And I'm like, huh, it looks like, uh, that didn't feel quite right. And I'm still really tired, so I need to double check this, right? I'm going to make sure you don't skip certain details, Matt. Ryan, some of these things were told in private. Yeah. The people need to know.
Starting point is 00:12:57 I reach – you know what? I haven't told a nasty shit story yet. You told yours about the bathroom, so I'll tell mine. You reach your bare hand. My bare hands. I creep my long slender fingers ever so gently. I picture this like animated like we're out of like a – you know those – the books, what are they called? The Grimm Brothers?
Starting point is 00:13:22 The Brothers Grimm. The Brothers Grimsby. Great movie. Yeah, but the Brothers Grimm, how they have the books and they're all like eerily. I pictured my slender fingers. Long, like Tim Burton ass looking. He's got like the Edward Scissorhand fingers.
Starting point is 00:13:37 Your fingernails are half the length of your fingers. My rings were jingling and jangling. As they broached the tight seal of my underwear. Slowly navigating across new terrain, we approached the event horizon. And, you know, I mean, if you're in bed and you think you shit yourself, how else do you check, right? You got to stick a finger down there. You get up, walk to the restroom, pull down your pants and look.
Starting point is 00:14:10 Well, listen, here's the thing, Ryan, because if I didn't shit myself, okay, if I did not shit. Then you could have gone back to bed. No, because I would have been wide awake from having to get up out of bed, go to the bathroom, turn the lights on. So what does it matter? Because if I didn't shit myself and I stick my finger down there and there's nothing there, I can just go straight back to bed. So you have to get up to the restroom. Oh, I see. See what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:14:26 Yeah, yeah, yeah. So basically, I put my hand down there and I'm greeted by a little surprise that was not there moments ago. Well, you had the check to see if you were correct. Because I was sleepy and I'm like, well, you know what? So you took your slender fingers out of your shorts. And then what happened? I withdraw my tool from my drawers.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Well, tool is penis. Okay, sorry. I meant my hand. I withdraw my hand from my slacks. My digits? My digits. What's your first thought when you? I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:15:12 This better not be pooping. This better not be shit because you know what? I sweat a lot when I sleep. Perhaps it's just ass sweat and that's what's on my fingers. So basically there's. There's a little moisture on your fingers. There is, there is. You're thinking it's sweat.
Starting point is 00:15:24 There's something. And. Oh my God. There's like a, there's – There's a little moisture on your fingers. There is. You're thinking it's sweat. There's something. And – Oh, my God. There's like a – there's steps, you know? There's steps in checking if you've shit yourself. Yeah. There's passes, right? So first pass came back as a positive, right?
Starting point is 00:15:36 And I'm like, uh-oh, now I need to put it through the second pass to confirm it. Confirmation test. And if it checks both those boxes, then yes, you have shit yourself. So the second test is, well, if it is poo-poo, then it's going to smell like poo-poo. So I bring my hand up to my nose for a quick sniff. And I'm tired. I'm out of it. I'm groggy.
Starting point is 00:15:57 So you're not fully, you know, you don't have full control of your limbs. My motor skills have not fully woken up. Yeah. Do you know this, by the way, Justin? No. No, he doesn't know the details. I got a text from you yesterday while I was on my way to the airport. What did the text say verbatim, Justin? Let me read it. Hold up.
Starting point is 00:16:14 No, that's going to spoil some things. Read that after this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Gotcha, gotcha, gotcha. So, approaching my nose, I guess there was a miscalculation of my brain between my muscles and my sense of judgment. So instead of- Usually you want to be cautious, much like-
Starting point is 00:16:35 With smelling shit, right? Like an airline going on the runway, like arriving onto the runway. You got to be cautious about that shit. Well, let me tell you, the guys with the little light up cones directing me had not shown up on the job yet. So I was kind of free balling it. In the moment when I go to procure, is that the word? Procure, yeah. Procure.
Starting point is 00:16:57 Thank you, Justin. That fourth of a bachelor's degree is showing. I make a misjudgment and I basically stick my finger into my nose. Not basically, I did. Which then it did pass the confirmation test. Turns out I had shit myself and now there was shit on and in my nose as well as in my underwear. So I quickly sprung up from bed. It's like in one of those family movies where the mother is baking a cake
Starting point is 00:17:32 and the son comes in and she takes a little bit of the ice and goes boop. It would have been great to imagine some cartoon sound effects right when it hits his nose. Just like, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo. Pause.
Starting point is 00:17:43 Laptop's about to die. Let me plug in the charger. Why is it about to die? I'll tell the story. Shit, man! Run! Faster! Go, Matt, go. Have I ever told you about the time where I punched myself in the face when I first woke up?
Starting point is 00:17:56 Like, actually? No. Oh my god, dude. Okay, so, uh... There we... Are we good? Okay, we're good. it's – Is it – are we good? Okay, we're good. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:07 Continue, please, after you finish your white thing. Yeah. So where was I? I sprung out of bed with a pep in my step. Off to the bathroom, I quickly crept. With your nose freshly covered in poop. Yes. A light dusting.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Let me be clear, guys. A little smearing. No, no, no. Well, it's, let me. It's like morning dew. Let me dispel the rumors before they start, okay? It was not shit. Well, it was, but it was more of, it wasn't like solid feces, right?
Starting point is 00:18:41 It was ass mucus. Pretty much. It was more of a clear liquid. Because I was having some... Ryan just dribbled water at me. Wait, wait, wait. It was like that. Let me just...
Starting point is 00:18:55 Hold up. Wait. It's dripping out of his beard. Got it. Okay. That's a great picture. I was about to say, that should have taken you a lot.
Starting point is 00:19:04 That took you a little long, aren't you? Gen Z? Listen, there's that right there, the light source that was fucking up the balancing. Right, right, right. So you guys can get on me about it, you know. Okay. Anyway. Well, I'm going to dodge that and hand it back to Matt.
Starting point is 00:19:19 Thank you. Good idea. I go into the bathroom. I drop Trow. And, you know, just for one final check, just in case, I look. Did someone toot? No, I did not. I didn't.
Starting point is 00:19:32 I swear. I did not. I just opened my leg so it could be me. That was probably that. I asked you to do that. I look down. I see what God has bestowed upon me. I sit down on the bidet, spray my ass with some water.
Starting point is 00:19:44 The stain was in the shape of Mary Magdalene. And then I sold it on eBay for $300,000. The face of Jesus Christ appeared in the shit stain in my underwear. The tears of joy
Starting point is 00:19:55 washed all the shit off my face. So I, you know, I empty the chambers, right? Yeah. Because I was, something was wrong with my digestive system that night because I normally don't shit myself. Let me just make that perfectly clear. I normally don't shit myself.
Starting point is 00:20:10 Did you shoot that bidet straight up? Yeah, I did. I made sure to get that nice and clean. Let your colon fill up a little bit? No, I didn't do that. But I go back to bed now and I'm like, man, I can't believe I shit myself. I can't wait to tell the boys about this tomorrow. Let's fast forward about five hours.
Starting point is 00:20:29 The year is 2019. We come to work. We get to the super megaplex, right? And I'm like, man, Ryan, I shit myself last night in bed. And he's like, whoo-hoo-hoo. And I... That's a perfect description. That's all I do in the office.
Starting point is 00:20:46 Hey, Ryan. Hey. What are you doing? Editing. You're like the fig dad on LaterZone. Can I see that edit? Yeah, look. Plays edit.
Starting point is 00:20:54 Has some sort of sound effect in it. Oh, good job, Ryan. Good, buddy. Good. I like it. There's a really funny fart edit coming soon. Yeah. It's very funny.
Starting point is 00:21:02 We tease the video to the Patreon members. Yeah. Here's a shameless. We tease the video to the Patreon members. Yeah. Here's a shameless plug to our own Patreon. But basically, I tell everyone the story of how I defecated myself in bed and I'm like,
Starting point is 00:21:15 man, that was embarrassing. I sit down at my desk, start editing, start working on that live action video. And I'm out enjoying the fresh air because I like to step outside every now and then. I'm sitting there and then I'm like, ah, ha, ha. I'm going to do a funny fart.
Starting point is 00:21:33 And it just, as smooth as can be, whoop, shit myself again. Did a fart noise even occur? No, it went, ooh, silent silent but deadly silent in the night and and i'm sitting there and i'm like oh no jackson came i was sitting outside jackson came out he's like matching his pants again i was like what he's like drunk it's a very professional working environment. My first thought is there's no way he brought a change of underwear. Is he going to have to go all the way home? Well, we'll get there. We'll get there.
Starting point is 00:22:13 I need to do the test again, but I'm not making the mistake I made last night. So I'm like, okay, Harrison and Jackson are in the room, and I'm like, I think I shit myself again. They're like, no, you didn't. I'm like, I think I really did. So I stand up, and I'm walking to the bathroom, and I'm like, I think I shit myself again. They're like, no, you know, you didn't know. I'm like, I think I really did. So I stand up and I'm walking to the bathroom and I'm actually not feeling it. Like I'm not confident. You're like, maybe that was just a warm. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:22:30 Yeah. I'm like, I'm like, I'm not really feeling it. I get into the bathroom and I dropped my trousers and lo and behold, I have shit myself once again. And I show it to Harrison and Jackson for proof. And now I'm not talking like this is not like a log and shit and what is like a and what does matt do he he uh he doesn't go outside and throw the underwear away that's been soiled he throws it in the trash can in the
Starting point is 00:22:56 restroom no i put it into a bag and took it home um because when i whose underwear is in the trash can when i was taking when i was taking a doo-doo later in the day right I had to put that's the bag I took home Angie has made it easier than ever to connect with skilled professionals to get all your jobs projects done well I absolutely love this because you know if you own a home it can be really hard to maintain it's hard to find people that can help you for a big project or a small.

Also, let me be clear.
Starting point is 00:24:47 It was a very small spattering of diarrhea. Spattering, yeah. It's like those Febreze plug-ins. Exactly. You wanted it in the bathroom. You had a nice musk, you know. Yes. I understand.
Starting point is 00:24:59 So basically then I – luckily Jackson, that son of a bitch, had a pair of underwear and Adidas shorts in his backpack, which I then wore. And I didn't actually realize until – Because he always has a runaway bag just in case he ever has to just book it. In case shit goes south. Luckily. He lent that to me. I didn't realize I was wearing the pants backwards until last night out at a restaurant. But, yeah, basically I almost shit myself a third time.
Starting point is 00:25:24 Where was that in the office? Okay. Uh, but I, I, I did not, it made me, I was like, Oh, so all of this leads to Matt texting Justin and the words are bro. I shit myself twice today. Yeah. I put it on Twitter as well, just to make it apparent, which people thought I was joking.
Starting point is 00:25:43 I'm not, I was not joking. Nope. That's not joking. Nope. That's not a funny Twitter meme. I actually, at 23 years old, shot myself twice in one day. And, I mean, that's pretty good, right? You shot yourself in the Grumps office. That's a story for another day, Ryan. Have we never told that story?
Starting point is 00:25:56 I think we have told that story. We must have. Because the last time I shit myself, I think I said it on the podcast, was just like I was sick and I was in bed. See, that's an excuse. And I was doing what you do. And I was just going to do a fart. To entertain yourself. Then it just spurted out of me.
Starting point is 00:26:12 I've been blessed to not have to deal with this in a long time. When's the last time you shit yourself, Justin? Dude, I actually can't remember. Oh, man. I just have not shit myself in so long. It's just I couldn't even think of the time I last shit myself. Okay. All right.
Starting point is 00:26:25 Yeah, so that's how the conversation is going. So on the plane yesterday, Justin did shit himself. Yeah, next to the nice gentleman I was sitting next to. He had to sniff it the whole way there. Justin stands up at the end of the podcast just shitting the chair. I christened the office, though. By shitting yourself? Our second week of working in the office, I shit my pants.
Starting point is 00:26:44 That is true. And we have been doing – there's a lot of progress that's been made uh justin got to see the super megaplex for the first time in fact i mean yeah we are recording in the super megaplex in the podcast room we're not using i think i don't believe we're uh using the mics we are gonna be using our podcast right now because there's still one more piece of equipment we need for the podcast mics. But a lot of progress has been made very fast, actually. The Let's Play recording room,
Starting point is 00:27:11 that's been fully soundproofed. It sounds super clean and nice. We just are waiting for the TV to get here. Jesus Christ. Waiting for the TV to get here. And then once that's here, we just got to hook up all the wires
Starting point is 00:27:24 and we're ready to get back in action recording those Let's Plays. Wednesday is the day where it's just big setup, cleanup, and just have everything ready. And I don't want to give away what specifically we would be playing, but we're hoping, I think, as you were stating, Thursday will hopefully be the day we will christen that Let's Play room with our buddy Justin. Yeah. I'm very excited to share what is planned.
Starting point is 00:27:50 I'm very excited for that too. It's something I've wanted to play on the channel forever, but I'm like, I'm not good at this. Ryan's not good at this. I have never been good at this series of games. Right. And it's one of my favorites. Like my favorite game of all time is a game that's in the series, and the one that we're going to play is a close.
Starting point is 00:28:07 I'm trying to think, why do we have to keep it a secret? I mean, I guess we don't, because it'll come out not that long after this podcast, right? Yeah, I mean, also this podcast, I believe. That's up to you, Justin. Yeah, that's actually up to you, buddy. I mean, not to brag, but I did get you an Animal Crossing episode the day you sent me the footage. Where's the other Let's Plays? Justin's still up there in that jumbo.
Starting point is 00:28:29 I'm an editor, not a magician. Let me go on vacation and just not have any work prepared when I leave. Yeah. Well, just so you know, I brought my external hard drive with, and I have a video ready to go. I just need to finish it with a few more edits and export it so it can go up. See, that's what I would tell the grumps when I'd have to be cutting up a commercial and I'd go, how is it coming? I'd go, oh, I just have to add a few more things.
Starting point is 00:28:48 But in reality, I hadn't even put the footage together. You hadn't even put it in the mirror. Motherfucker. Hear that, Brent? What's he going to do about it? What, you going to fire us? I know. Like Aaron did?
Starting point is 00:28:56 Brent, remember, you work for us now. That's right. Just remember that. You do. Ooh, how the tables have turned. Absolutely. You used to work for Grumps. And now Brent.
Starting point is 00:29:07 Works for us. Sorry, buddy. Under our, he's licking our boot now. Yep. Better treat us nice, Brent. Yeah. We can really. Because we still have those videos.
Starting point is 00:29:18 Yeah, we have the videos. And we have the test results. Yep. So I also have a statement prepared for my visit to the Grimm's office last April. That's right. He did make you very uncomfortably sexually. Yes. So, but sorry, I said that allegedly.
Starting point is 00:29:33 He made you uncomfortable in a sexual way. I said uncomfortably sexual. We don't need to. We don't need to bring it up here. Not the time or place. OK. If something is to happen, though, I got us all covered.
Starting point is 00:29:45 Yeah. Okay. So we're good. We're good. I mean, you don't have to worry about a lot because he is sterile. But, I mean, that's not even a joke. He's sterile. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:55 Would he be mad if we told people that? Well, he brags about it. He's like, I can get away with this because you won't get pregnant. And I'm like, Brent, that's not how that works. I mean, technically it is, but it's not like that's not a bragging point. That's not me. Yeah. But anyway, enough about Brent's fertility nip-tuck
Starting point is 00:30:12 in a while. Were we going to say what we were going to play? Oh, yeah. Justin, you want to announce it? Yeah. Sonic Adventure Director's Cut. Not Sonic Adventure 2 Battle with the Chow Garden? DX? We're playing the DX? Where you can collect unicorns and feed them to your Chaos?
Starting point is 00:30:27 Dude. Is there a Chao Garden in Sonic Adventure? Yeah. There's Chao Garden. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And the Chao Garden in Adventure is better. The only Sonic games I've ever played, I think, were Sonic.
Starting point is 00:30:38 The first one was Sonic Adventure 2. No, the first one was a 2D one, but I can't. I didn't play it that much. No, the first one was a 2D one, but I didn't play it that much. But the first one I got into was Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, then Sonic Heroes. Yes, Sonic Heroes is a big one for me, too. What was the one where you got to play as Big... The werewolf? The big cat.
Starting point is 00:30:57 That's Sonic Adventure 1. Where you fish? Yeah. Yeah, that's Adventure 1. With the liquid dude. That's Adventure 1. That's what we're going to do. I never played that one.
Starting point is 00:31:04 I watched my cousin play that. Yeah. Okay, so there's Adventure 1. With the liquid dude. That's Adventure 1. That's what we're going to do. I never played that one. I watched my cousin play that. Yeah. Okay, so there's that one. I played Heroes, and then after Heroes, I didn't play one until Mania, and I never finished Mania. Really? But you, like, didn't you want to? Did you 100% Mania? I have actually 100% completed Mania at least 10 times.
Starting point is 00:31:19 God. And I'll probably play it again when I go home. Like, it's seriously, I would say, my favorite game ever. When I play a Sonic game, I feel like Matt playing any game. Thank you. Damn. That's just, okay. I mean, that speaks volumes, you know?
Starting point is 00:31:33 But yeah, I'm excited to do that one because I think we'll be able to have a lot of fun with it. I think so, too. Because of having to shift consoles and save files and stuff, things like Animal Crossing and SpongeBob, we have a couple more episodes coming out, but I think recording those might temporarily be a tiny little hiatus, but rest assured, we will be finishing SpongeBob. Stop playing footsie with me, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:31:55 Hey, my boy. Yeah, you playing footsie? Yeah. You got socks, I got shoes on. Feel this? I do. I feel your soft. I don't have athlete's foot, so you're safe.
Starting point is 00:32:03 You sure about that? Yeah. Well, I mean, what if you're carrying it, but don't have it? Oh. So now I'm don't have athlete's foot, so you're safe. You sure about that? Yeah. Well, I mean, what if you're carrying it but don't have it? Oh. So now I'm going to get athlete's foot. You're wearing shoes. I'm wearing shoes, but, yeah, I mean, it's very easily spread. How do you think the SpongeBob thing looks?
Starting point is 00:32:16 The rehydrated dude? Oh, it looks awesome. I'm so fucking excited for that game. Cool. When is that coming out? Thanks, everyone, for tuning into the podcast. It's been a good one. So, Justin,
Starting point is 00:32:26 can you say your Twitter? I was going to do something funny, but I'll keep that. That's good. That's good. Also, Justin is for those of you
Starting point is 00:32:35 who have missed the memo, Justin edits all of our Let's Play videos. Yep. Yeah. And our compilate. Well, the compilations that are on the channel.
Starting point is 00:32:43 Yeah. He ain't no, he's not, he's not DeLoBeast. He ain't spending every day re-watching the Let's Plays he edits. Fuck that. Dude, that's a fuck that. I can barely get through in the first watch. I know.
Starting point is 00:32:53 I'm kidding. That person drops compilations like- Is it DeLo? DeLo? DeLoBeast, I think. I say DeLoBeast. They drop compilations like it's nobody's business. Every couple days.
Starting point is 00:33:04 I think they and SuperMega compilations like it's nobody's business. Every couple days. They did. And Super Mega compilations are the two most prominent compilation makers for Super Mega. It's crazy. I'm like, okay. Also, like the topic was so specific. It'd be like, damn, Daniel. Like Timespeak said.
Starting point is 00:33:15 And it's like 40 minutes long. I'm like, how did you go through these videos? My favorite compilation they've done is the Brent compilation. That's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. They did one where it was just their, not their favorite, but like, I guess my best edits, like an hour Brent compilation. That's a good one. Yeah, that's a good one. They did one where it was just their not their favorite, like, I guess my best edits, like an hour long compilation. I think it was just all of your edits. Almost.
Starting point is 00:33:31 Was it all of them? It wasn't like the it was all the ones where it's kind of like it was it was more than more than just like a zoom in or something. Yeah. Yeah. That was cool. It's like it's getting to the point now where I've done so many videos and I'm starting to forget edits I've done. Yeah, yeah. That was cool because it's getting to the point now where I've done so many videos and I'm starting to forget edits I've done.
Starting point is 00:33:45 It'll come a point, Justin, which you're probably poaching it soon, where you'll be like, you'll see a video series way back in the channel and be like, oh, yeah, I forgot they played that and I edited that. Oh, it's already like that. Like, I forgot you guys did Wheel of Fortune. Exactly, man. I mean, there's so many times where I'll see, like, I'll go back on old videos on our channel.
Starting point is 00:34:03 I'm like, we played that? I could not tell you a single thing about that. Then we edited it. I remember, like, when I'm thinking of Mario Odyssey, I know for a fact that, like, I edited a lot of that series, but, like, if I go any further back, it's a throw-up. I'm like,
Starting point is 00:34:18 I don't know who edited that. I couldn't tell you. There's some where I'll remember specifically, because I remember, like, late at night, just being like, ugh. Yeah. Well, if there's one... Those'll remember specifically because i remember like late at night just being like yeah well if there's one those nights those nights man nothing nothing like those nights when we first started staying up till four or five six a.m it was exhausting it was fun though it was exhausting it's not sustainable like now this is put that on to somebody else now so they have to deal with that but this is kind of like this is the best case scenario of that situation because in that time period we were on our own and we couldn't really afford to be on our own but now we can because of one the success of our channel
Starting point is 00:34:58 um the connections we've made and people who support us via Patreon or by simply just watching the videos. Yeah. Yeah. You hear that? We're big shit now, guys. So – Big shit. We're big shit.
Starting point is 00:35:12 Enough not to be recording in our living room. I meant to say – I think I meant to say it was either going to be big shots or hot shit. And I kind of – I just ended up saying big shit. Big shit. We are big shit now, guys. Because think about it. We didn't really have a break from it. It was our two – my bedroom on the left, your bedroom on the right, the center living room area,
Starting point is 00:35:30 which was just at that point dedicated to recording. Yeah, we just – And your room for computer games. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I remember that shit. And we would just go fucking record, go to sleep, wake up at four, edit, record late at night, edit all night, and then just fucking do it again.
Starting point is 00:35:44 Good times. And now we got the Super Megaplex and it's coming together. four, edit, record late at night, edit all night, and then just fucking do it again. And now we got the Super Megaplex and it's coming together. It's coming together really well now, actually. It's very close to being good. Yes. I mean, we're at the point now where we can actually record the podcast in here. Because I think it'll sound fine. I think so, too.
Starting point is 00:36:03 It might sound a little different, but because we have to tweak with audio. Yeah, this is the first one. So we got to see how we need to tweak the audio levels based on the room and stuff. So it might change a little more in the future. But you know, it's cool being able to- Might have to get some outside help to be like, hey, what do you think would be best? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:36:20 Is there too much bass? Too much high sound? Also, I think the big thing that'll make the Office feel done is when the Let's Play recording studio is done this week. Yeah. You know. Also, have we mentioned that? I don't think we have. We're going to start trying to drop the podcast on Spotify and iTunes before it goes on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:36:41 Yep. Ooh. A big change. A big change. So we're going to try to drop that like Wednesday or Thursday each week on iTunes or Spotify. Cause that way it forces us since it's the first one out to put it out, um, in general, because usually we put two to three to four or five out, uh, all at once. Um, so that one forces us to one, get it out earlier, get it out in general on time.
Starting point is 00:37:07 So it's, you still get a podcast once a week. And since we're still going to be uploading to YouTube, but we will be having more of a primary focus on the, like the Spotify, Spotify's and iTunes and stuff like that. Yeah. Because it's Spotify's and iTunes and stuff like that. The Spotify's and the iTunes. It seems like a lot of you guys prefer to listen to it on those platforms. Still gonna be uploaded regularly on YouTube.
Starting point is 00:37:34 But it seems like so many people enjoy listening to it on that because they can listen to it on the go. Where I get YouTube is actually a little trickier to listen to if you're not just putting it on your computer while you work, like if you're on the train or the bus or whatever. So we're going to try to put it on there first from now on. And we'll let you know when it's out. We'll get our little monkey Jackson to tweet about it.
Starting point is 00:37:57 Yeah. In terms of Super Mega updates, that's a – there's some other stuff we can't talk about yet. Yeah. It's all coming together. It is. It is. How's it feel from an outside perspective walking in the first time?
Starting point is 00:38:09 You're like, wow, this place is a wreck. I mean, I knew it was a work in progress, so I wasn't really like taking it back or anything. There's a lot of boxes. There's a lot of boxes, a lot of garbage. How do you like the soundproofing on the ceiling and walls? It's nice. Yeah. It sounds so cool.
Starting point is 00:38:23 It's like – Ooh. on the ceiling and walls. It's nice. Yeah, it sounds so cool. It's like, ooh. That we have metal stands right now because Matt and I have drinks that we wanted to set down. So it just kind of clanged off of that. You wanted to have them on tables instead of just holding them. And I'm holding mine actually.
Starting point is 00:38:37 Justin, you will earn your place in the company where you get to have a side table during the podcast to put your drink on. For now you need to hold it in your lap, right do i earn it that comes with time and experience it's more of a feeling you'll when we'll know when it's time we'll know all right yeah so just just keep on doing what you're doing i'll just keep on working i gotta say though justin for real you are a fucking fantastic editor and we are so enthralled to have you editing on our channel i wouldn't want anybody else editing on it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:05 Thank you. Like it just worked out so perfectly with you because at the beginning, you just liked our content and our style of humor. Have we ever talked about like how we actually became friends? I don't think so. So I used to, I found out about you guys When
Starting point is 00:39:25 Was it before or after Syndigo? Like right after Syndigo It was like the tail end I was part of like the big wave of attention that came through Was it like during the Markiplier time? Is that how you found us? Yeah it was during that It was kind of like when the Markiplier stuff was coming to an end
Starting point is 00:39:41 It was before you guys had actually Even put Ryan on Kids with Problems. It was right when... So it's really when... Before Mark went off to the space colony? Yeah. Sad, man. God rest his soul. Wait till he finds out Pluto's not a planet.
Starting point is 00:39:58 That's going to be asking me a rough day for him. Did they know about Robomark yet, or no? We legally can't talk about it. Remember to cut that out. But what were you saying? You found us? Yeah, I found you guys from there.
Starting point is 00:40:11 And then I would just send Ryan really shitty Twitter memes. Well, both of you. I was a lot more active on Twitter back then. Yeah, like really active. Once or twice a day. I would tweet. But now, I don't think I've put out a tweet in two months. Well, there's one coming.
Starting point is 00:40:32 I haven't seen you on Twitter. Well, there's one coming. There's one coming. Possibly? Or is it hopefully? Do you have to plan out a tweet for like two weeks in advance? It's coming, guys. My tweet. Well, no, it's more like there is something that Justin and I are going to do this week. We have to gather the material for it.
Starting point is 00:40:49 What? AVN? No. There's an event that we're going to that we're both excited. Very excited. I feel like I'll be forced to post something just because of how spectacular this event is going to be. I might miss you on Twitter, dude. Every time you tweet, I get so excited.
Starting point is 00:41:04 I'm like, oh, Ryan tweeted. You got to tweet more, man. Can I tweet out the most famous movie fart sound effect that's been used in Nacho Libre? Yeah, get like a clip art of like, you know, the speaker. I'm using it in the next vlog. The same one. I'm proud of you for that, Ryan.
Starting point is 00:41:21 It's the one where the person's bouncing on the trampoline. Did you use bruh sound effect too? No, I didn't use bruh. We haven't used bruh or deez nuts, gaudy. Put them all in right here. Okay, there's some. That was them. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:34 I called an addict, guys. I did it. But you were explaining. Oh, yeah. Unless that's the story. So I sent shitty memes to Ryan and he became my friend. Pretty much. Yeah, that's what you guys need the story. So I sent shitty memes to Ryan and he became my friend. Pretty much. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Yeah. That's what you guys need to do. No. It wasn't just right. It was to both of you guys. But like that went on for like about a year. And then out of nowhere, I said like at three in the morning, I was working on a shitty video for my channel.
Starting point is 00:41:59 That's not even up anymore. And I you tweeted something and I made like a syndicate video reference back. And then I don't know where you just followed me. That's the one way to my heart. Yeah. Yeah. and you tweeted something and I made like a Cyndago video reference back and then out of nowhere you just followed me. That's the one way to my heart. Yeah. I remember it was the Uncle Max video.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Uncle Max. You ready for Uncle Max's pics? It's a good one. Go on. I'll go back to that video. Take a bite. It's a great video. But yeah,
Starting point is 00:42:20 and then Ryan followed me out of the blue and then we talked on DMs a bit and then you would have followed me a few months later, I think? Yeah, because I didn't really know who you were, but then I remember I saw one day on YouTube, you had done some Saints Row. Oh, God, we don't need to talk about that.
Starting point is 00:42:36 You deleted it. I took that shit off, dude. But I saw it, and I thought it was funny. I legitimately laughed because it was... I watched it, and I was like, this is pretty good. Because it was essentially just bullying me. No, it was funny. I legitimately laughed because it was... I watched it and I was like, this is pretty good. Because it was essentially just bullying me. No, it wasn't. The video was essentially making fun of...
Starting point is 00:42:50 No, it wasn't. I think it was. No, it wasn't. The only joke I made was I made the jacket vest joke that Ryan fucking hates. I said, it was Saints Row 4 and you can get this... There's this thing you can do where you run really fucking fast and it looks really funny. I'm not mad. I'm just saying it's a joke and the joke was like when when there's a when there's a sale on jacket vests at walmart or something and it just shows rent's character
Starting point is 00:43:12 is that not a joke at my expense yeah not really it's more of a laughing with you thing well this is where i don't buy them for a laugh justin i buy and also he wear... And also he doesn't get them from Walmart. He gets them from Target. Okay. Dude, you gotta bring the jacket vest back. I haven't worn a jacket vest in a while, buddy. It has been a bit of... Oh, I forgot. Yeah. You kind of switched over to the hoodie tank top. Yeah. Where it's like,
Starting point is 00:43:37 basically if you just buttoned up a jacket vest and put a hood on it. I think... I thought it was funny. I was like, Ryan, have you seen this guy? And he's like, yeah, that's Justin. And I was like, Justin?
Starting point is 00:43:48 That's Justin. That is the Justin. So I followed Justin and then we all just kind of became friends and then eventually we reached this point with Super Mega where we were like, oh my God,
Starting point is 00:43:58 do you know how much easier it would be if someone else edited our Let's Plays so we could focus on more shit? Well, no. First, it was the compilations that's right yeah because we a long time because the thing is matt and i have always been very what's the word uh possessive of kind of like the the editing on our channel because
Starting point is 00:44:19 it's like it's a very that's something you guys are known for the shit like there are channels based on the idea of something but i think we're based i guess somewhat for example like vlogs where it's like we go to the grand canyon and that's it like they just show themselves at the grand canyon but i think in terms of what we like is we take that and we mold it as well to our own type of style. It's your own brand. It's your own brand. And I'm not saying other people couldn't do it. There are a lot of people who put their own personality to it. I'm sure other people
Starting point is 00:44:54 could edit our live action stuff the same. But I think Ryan and I, a lot of it's also when we're shooting, we're thinking about editing while we're shooting. So it's like we have all these things in our head that like, oh, we already have all these ideas. And then when we sit down i i guess like from the start we've been editing our own shit so like our live action is that like style so it's like we have done that so much now that like we're we i don't know like i i i almost don't i don't like giving live action
Starting point is 00:45:19 to other people to edit because first of all, I genuinely enjoy editing our live action content. It's a lot of fun. Now that's all we do. I really like, I, I enjoy kind of just going over and over a video. Like, you know, me with the, the Renaissance video, I just kind of going through it and there'll be times where I'll take out a joke. Cause I'm like, okay, that's a little too cluttered or not necessary. Or I'll add something in. I just, I like the sweet spot of editing isn't when I'm putting the timeline together, like the skeleton. It's when there are a few
Starting point is 00:45:54 edits in there and all the clips are in order. Yeah, it's like, ooh. Because then it's just easy. And then all you're doing is adding edits and making it mesh. I mean, I love editing. Editing always has been and I imagine will remain one of my biggest passions.
Starting point is 00:46:17 It's hard sometimes to get motivated with it for sure. But I mean, I honestly like I would be totally cool. Actually, we do have some live action stuff coming up in the future if you want to take a crack at it. I'm always down, yeah. We have some stuff that we think would be good. So, then, in terms of that, with the Let's Plays,
Starting point is 00:46:36 it started off, we gave Justin the compilations because it was stuff that we had already edited so we feel comfortable. It's like, that's stuff we edited, we're comfortable with that being the video. And it was very simple. There was nothing to So we feel comfortable. It's like that stuff we edited. We're comfortable. And it was very simple. There was nothing to worry about. Yeah. Because even at that point, putting it together, adding text and then the transitions, title
Starting point is 00:46:51 card, end card done. And with Let's Plays, we the difference, I guess the difference that I noticed when you took over is that Matt and I cut out a lot more because we are a lot more self-conscious. Well, I think that's also why we don't like- It's better for Justin, I think, to edit the Let's Plays in that case. Yeah. And I think that's also why we don't, I think we might have such an iron grip on our live actions because I think at the end of the day, Ryan and I are also definitely self-conscious
Starting point is 00:47:19 little bitches and we're like, oh, we're not funny. And we have all this footage. So I feel like if we edit- Fix it in post. It's like a guarantee that it's like, oh, if we have control over the editing of this, then we can guarantee it'll be what we want it to be. Where it's like if someone else were to edit, we'd be like, oh, no, it's showing like the unfunny stuff.
Starting point is 00:47:34 Yeah. And now we don't look funny. That's just being self-conscious. No, I'm the same way with some of the edits I put in. Sometimes like I'll have something where maybe it'll be my voice or like just something like that where I'm a big part of the joke and I get I sometimes I always a joke but uh what's the the drum sound yeah yeah I'm not adding it you already did it so yeah there you go um but yeah sometimes I remember there was one on that Mario let's play that we did which is like one of the second or third videos you guys gave me where i just it was a
Starting point is 00:48:08 really funny thing where i was like a newscaster like replaying something stupid that matt did oh yeah yeah when i when i fell down the i remember that edit yeah i was like halfway through i had to do like a bunch of stuff with the font and stuff uh but i was like i was really self-conscious about putting myself in the video those are my Oh, when you like the recent one too, when you, when you opened up the packages, we sent you. Cause that happened in episode 36 near the end, I guess. But, uh, I love, I love the edits where you kind of put yourself in them, uh, just because it, it's weird.
Starting point is 00:48:39 It adds another layer. It's not just like adding to a joke that's in the video. It's all, it's just creating a new one out of thin air. Right. Which is like, I like making my own stuff, but it's just difficult. Uh,
Starting point is 00:48:51 so that's why I didn't forget. We always throw you to dance and shit. You still haven't done some of the stuff we ask. Yeah. So what do you mean? I mean, well, cause you guys haven't given me the end point for it yet.
Starting point is 00:49:00 I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,
Starting point is 00:49:00 I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean,

Starting point is 00:49:04 I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, I mean, picture of your penis in, I think, the second row of Let's Play. I don't think you ever put that in. During the battle with the mom. Listen, pal. Sometimes leaving it. Listen, Justin, as your employer, I don't give a fuck what you have to say, okay? If I ask you to throw up a picture of your penis in episode— Ask.
Starting point is 00:49:16 He was telling you, Justin. If I tell you— When your boss asks you something— Tell you. But at any job, if your boss asks you something— He is telling you. He's telling you, right? It's just a nicer way of doing it. Could you. But at any job, if your boss asks you something. He is telling you. He's telling you, right? It's just a nicer way of doing it.
Starting point is 00:49:27 Could you give me some coffee? What, are you not going to get the boss coffee? Oh, no. I mean, you ask and I'm just saying. Do you want some coffee? You know, honestly, it's what time is it? It's 3.20 in the afternoon. I'm starting to get that 3 p.m. crash.
Starting point is 00:49:38 Justin, could you? No, no. Justin, also our coffee machine. Our coffee machine is, you know, me and Harrison and Jackson are little snobs about our coffee. So it's not like a Keurig. It's like we actually hand grind the beans and weigh them out. So if you can go do that real quick. Remember the ratio between water and coffee beans, by the way.
Starting point is 00:49:53 It's very particular. And bit. Ryan. Yeah. Do you like any creme brulee? Sure. Justin, go whip it up. Jessica's are like beautiful creme brulee? Sure. Justin, go whip it up. Justin, you guys are like beautiful creme brulee.
Starting point is 00:50:07 And then I leave and I become a world famous barista. Shit, man. Y'all mind if I praise God? Yeah. Can I take a break to praise God real quick? Absolutely. Can we take a break? I think all of us, let's go pray to our separate gods.
Starting point is 00:50:25 Hopefully it's the same one looking at you, Justin. And then we'll be back with ad reads. A little prayer break. I said everyone's favorite part of the podcast. They're like, not only are they ending all current conversation, I know the next thing coming up is going to be an ad read. I'm so excited. If there's any time to click off the podcast, it surely isn't now. More of the podcast coming up next.

Starting point is 00:52:49 We are back from praying and from that wonderful ad read. Yes. That was great. Thanks, guys, for talking about my baldness. No problem. I mean, it's something, I think male pattern baldness is something that we're very passionate about. We're actually going to do a charity live stream soon for men who don't have hair. Yes, because I'm so incredibly self-conscious, and my hair especially is one of the main focal points of that.
Starting point is 00:53:13 So for you guys to help me out and give me that link, it's great, and I really appreciate it. Absolutely. I mean, that's what we're here for. I'm just hoping that we got there in time because it says it prevents hair loss, Justin. I'm going to be looking in the mirror of your bathroom when we get back and just like, fuck. Oh, dude. Once that paranoia starts, it does not stop. Speaking from experience here.
Starting point is 00:53:40 You're just like, oh, shit. It was about, it was January of 2018. I remember like it was yesterday. I was visiting South Carolina. Was it common or was it? No, it was just, I was in my childhood bathroom at home and I'm looking in the mirror. And I was just like, oh, man, I have a big forehead. And I was like, I'm looking up, I'm like, wait a second.
Starting point is 00:54:03 Wait a second. I was like, where my hair starts on my forehead, like has it always been there? And then like I pulled my hair back and I saw like the widow's peak. And I was like, oh, fuck. And I remember like I was like obsessively Googling like difference between a mature hairline and a receding hairline. And I deducted I have a mature hairline because I look at pictures of myself at 17 and I have the same hairline. But it's still high, higher than I'd like it. And I'm like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:54:33 I mean, Jackson Harrison started all those fucking balding jokes. So everyone in the comments does it. Well, what are their hairlines? Harrison has a pretty good hairline. Harrison likes to rub his ears. I went and got my hair cut and they were talking about how good my hairline was in Jackson's But let's be honest if anyone's going bald soon It's Jackson
Starting point is 00:54:48 I will be bald I imagine I think that's kind of My mom's father was bald You can pull it off though And your daddy was bald Until he used keeps But that shouldn't even affect me
Starting point is 00:55:04 If your dad's, uh, it's all, it's only your mother's side, the baldness. But all I'm saying is then like, every time I looked in the mirror, I was like, is it, is it going higher? Justin just had a Justin. It's going to hate Justin now. Justin's always going to be looking in the mirror. Like mine had a, mine had a, uh, he had
Starting point is 00:55:19 a mature hairline. You have, you actually have an incredible hair. Well, I think you had a juvenile hair. Well, my hairline is going to be fine, but I hairline. You have a juvenile hairline. My hairline's going to be fine, but I'm going to start balding at the top of my head. No one sees the top of your head. That's where it's going to happen. When it comes to balding, you can fix that. If your crown is balding, you can fix that.
Starting point is 00:55:38 Your hairline, you can't fix your hairline. That's something you have to get surgery. What, am I going to start doing a comb-over? Hey, guys! Ryan comes in one day with a comb over his ass. It's like a barcode. You can put like Rogaine and shit on a bald spot to help the hair grow, but your hairline Rogaine doesn't help with that allegedly. OK.
Starting point is 00:56:02 Your hairline is more genetics where like going bald is something like the top of your head, you can grow that back. Interesting. Apparently. Hairline's the big shocker. So I hope I didn't trigger anybody's scary bald fears because – No. No, not at all. In conclusion, Justin will be bald at 26. Thank you for that. Well, see, Justin, you're not going to notice it yet because usually you won't notice that shit until 23, 24.
Starting point is 00:56:21 See, I'm in the prime of that where – which is fueling my paranoia because i'm like all right i'm i'll be i'll be 24 uh next year and i look in the mirror and i'm like this is the time and also i look at pictures of myself from when i was like 19 like early super mega and my hair just looks more like looks different it looks darker and thicker and i'm like is it just i do my hair different my hair has actually gotten lighter like in color since we started super mega i've noticed it used to be a much richer color. Now it's a little more dull. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:47 When I see pictures of you when you were, I guess, in high school and college, you had like really dark brown hair. But you also had a lot shorter. I'm thinking about actually dyeing it a little darker. Just take it back to what it was. Because it's getting more like – No bleach blonde? No bleach blonde. What?
Starting point is 00:57:04 If I want to guarantee a way to make myself go bald, it would be bleaching my head again. I think that. Do you think your hair has suffered permanently from that one time of bleaching it? It could have. It's possible. And then re-dyeing it? Yeah, I mean, it's totally possible. I mean, dyeing your hair doesn't hurt your hair
Starting point is 00:57:25 like if it's not bleached like if I added some tone to make it like a couple shades darker that wouldn't hurt it but if you bleached it it would burn your scalp didn't it
Starting point is 00:57:32 like when you were there like it was well that was bleaching I wouldn't be bleaching my hair well that's what I'm that's what I'm saying bleaching that was more reminiscing
Starting point is 00:57:38 on a time long gone it hurts man when I got my hair bleached that one time was fucking and like I'd like to try it again at one point but I wouldn't do the roots because that would but i've thought about my hair has become more of like a like a not blonde but like a lighter brown yeah like a
Starting point is 00:57:54 like a chestnutty a nutty brown and i don't like it as much so i might i might try to dye it a couple shades darker like not super noticeable but it, oh, it's darker than it normally is. Just black. Jet black. I'd dye my hair black for a video. Absolutely. Would you? Just see what it looks like because I don't think that would damage my hair.
Starting point is 00:58:14 I cannot imagine you with jet black hair. I don't know why. I can't picture it. What if I had just jet black hair? I can kind of see it. Would I look completely different? He'd look like fucking Clark Kent. He's handsome. Superman's a fucking handsome dude. Superman's a fucking handsome dude.
Starting point is 00:58:29 Who's Batman, man? Bruce Wayne. There you go. I almost said Bruce Banner. Who's Iron Man? Who's that? Who's Bruce Banner? I don't fucking know.
Starting point is 00:58:36 No, no, come on, come on. It's a strain of marijuana. Is it? Is that why you know that name? Yes. Wait, cool. The first time I ever heard that Bruce Banner was at the weed stream. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:58:46 Seriously. The first time. Matt, Matt. Answer me this. Bruce Banner to you is, in this moment, what? I have no idea. I only know that when I first moved to California, you showed me a strain of marijuana titled Bruce Banner. Bruce Banner.
Starting point is 00:59:01 Okay, wait, wait, wait. So, if I told you it was a comic book character, would you be able to nail down who's identity it is? I know it's a comic book character. Would your brain mash together who Bruce Banner is? So it's somebody's real life name? Of course. It has to do with the color. Green Lantern?
Starting point is 00:59:19 No. Green Goblin? No. That's Norman Osborn, by the way is wait wait if they called it if there was a weed strain weeds green is that it's that good green yeah does that happen the whole yeah okay there you go that makes sense now did you never see that uh the early 2000s uh ang lee movie which is we need to watch that shit uh justin and i have already the spike lee hulk we're gonna see the we're gonna watch the first uh raimi spider-Man because I haven't seen that in years.
Starting point is 00:59:49 And then I want to see the Ang Lee Hulk film because I haven't seen that since I saw it in theaters a long time ago. And I played the PS2 game, which was fun. We beat it. We did not play. Which game did we? Amazing Spider-Man. Ultimate. Ultimate Spider-Man.
Starting point is 01:00:04 See, while I was talking about it earlier, it just... You forget. Right. Honestly, that was a fun series, though. That's stuff you don't care about. You don't really... You don't take a liking to comic book stuff.
Starting point is 01:00:13 It's not some stuff that interests you. You know, see, Ryan, I'm more of a fine literature kind of guy. Yeah, of course. You wake up in the morning, you know, Rick and Morty, Simpsons, that part. Okay, first of all, this shirt is a shirt I bought in Thailand, Justin, from a bootleg store.
Starting point is 01:00:28 And let me just tell you guys what's on my shirt. I bought it because it's a fucking, it's a vomit of every brand. It's got the Apple logo, Rick and Morty, the Simpsons, Winter is Coming, South Park, NASA, Los Pollos Hermanos, Better Call Saul, Starbucks, an anonymous mask. Did you already say Adidas? No, I did not. Adidas, Vans. It's got an anonymous mask, but it's like that Obey painting. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:00:51 But instead of Obey, it says F Society. Planet Express. One Up. Ooh, Quicksilver over here versus the Obama Hope painting, but it's Rick Sanchez. And it says Wubba Lubba Dub Dub. It was one of my favorite shirts of all time. I love this shirt. It's nice. Are you happy for me?
Starting point is 01:01:10 I mean, not particularly because of the shirt, but in general, you are a friend and I see that your mood has bettered over the years and I am happy for you. Thank you, man. That means a lot. Justin, you could pick up your mood a little bit. You're kind of a buzzkill. There's a bit of buzzkill energy going on. Sorry, I was just thinking about the fact that you guys
Starting point is 01:01:25 said I'm going to be going bald in the next couple years. Is that still on your mind? I honestly hope I didn't check some OCD box on his head now and he's like, because it really struck my OCD hard. Justin, you shouldn't be paranoid because the longer you keep it on your mind doesn't mean that the hair is going to be keeping on your head. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 01:01:41 Actually, the more you worry, the more the hair can go away. The more it can scurry. Justin, can I see that hairline? You know what I'm saying? Absolutely beautiful hairline. See, Justin? Thanks, dude. Look at this. Ready? It's the corners that start going. See that? Up in there? See how it makes a... It's like a McDonald's arch.
Starting point is 01:01:57 It's not like that. What the hell, dude? It's called a widow's pit. He's going to be laying in bed tonight. McDonald's arch. I'm's gonna be laying in bed tonight McDonald's I'm gonna be laying in bed be like alright I know we were all joking but now it's like
Starting point is 01:02:08 you know I've already come to peace with like karma in some ways gonna just take me out in a shitty way you think so
Starting point is 01:02:16 like a tree falling while I'm going out to like go to my car if you died from a tree falling on you I've seen a video
Starting point is 01:02:23 of a tree like it just randomly it was like the wind was blowing a little bit but the tree just right on top of someone that was just walking away to go what are the chances that person lived 30 or more years if he had missed one more great like if he had stopped in one more red light that day if he'd stopped to tie his shoe if their parents had stopped to tie their shoe when they were walking in a park at one point. That's why the butterfly effect is insane. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:47 Just that one exact moment they ended up there. They're like, because the way time works, their whole life built up to that one moment. And it was always leading to that moment. Every single little decision. And the whole time that tree was growing to ultimately end in that fate.
Starting point is 01:03:05 So right now out there, whatever's going to cause your demise could be a meteor came and reshuffled the fucking earth to make sure that the land was in the proper place so that a tree could grow in that exact location dude this is this is the kind of talk that like i could do this talk for hours but it it gets i freak out it i mean like disaster stuff no not disaster stuff stuff like when you start getting uh uh uh existential existential i don't said exploitative when you get when you get existential existential yeah so i have a fourth of a bachelor's degree uh existential um yeah my the karma from bullying my my good friend matt and balding justin what if you just go bald within a period of like two months? Balding Justin. There's that one picture.
Starting point is 01:03:48 Balding editor Justin. There's that one picture of me with, I used the bald booth app and like, it looked really good. Can that be your profile picture? Why don't you change it, man? Dude, if you uploaded that as your profile picture, no one's going to second guess and be like,
Starting point is 01:04:00 it looks good. It looks real. I did one of those too, but it's pretty convincing. iDubbbz put it in his last video for some reason because everyone always says me and him look alike. So everyone's like, oh, you think Matt Watson looks like iDubbbz? iDubbbz looks like Matt Watson? We're skinny white dudes with big foreheads.
Starting point is 01:04:14 Yeah. And we wear glasses. And we didn't have to call him out like that. I'm calling myself out. Well, he has a mustache now. And if I grew a mustache, should I grow a mustache to look more like him? You want to try again? I think there's nothing.
Starting point is 01:04:26 I think it's admirable to try. I don't ever want to discourage you from trying. But did it look bad? It was noticeable and I wasn't used to it. Well, mustache, of course it's noticeable. But did it look bad? Do you think, maybe if I did my hair different, like if it's some different glasses, whatever, like, do you think I could pull it off?
Starting point is 01:04:44 What if I got more weight in my face first? Right now, a little more weight. But what if I, what if I beefed up? I got a little more weight in my face. Would I be able to? I think all, all that it takes is for you to gain some meat in your biceps and in your chest. And no one's going to question a dude that they think would kick their ass.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Cause right now I'm looking a little light in the loafers. If you, if you had, yeah, that's a would kick their ass. Because right now I'm looking a little light in the loafers. If you had... That's a way to put it. Even if it was a shrinky dink mustache, no one's going to be like... Shrinky dink mustache? Dude, he comes up with the best shit. That's a good fucking name for it. Can I tell them about the world
Starting point is 01:05:20 we started? Sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I was talking to Matt about it. He already told me what you guys built in Minecraft. We don't need to bring that up. It's beautiful, though, unironically. Did I tell you what our world name is?
Starting point is 01:05:34 That's what I was getting to. Ryan decided that we should start a Minecraft world together where we just built a bunch of shit. I was about to make it, and we were on the phone, and I was of shit and uh i was about to make it and we were on the phone i was like i don't know what to call it and then out of nowhere he just hits me with uh he i don't think he was coming up with the name he just said the phrase goofy goofy poopy
Starting point is 01:05:55 poopy and that is that is such a on-brand ryan mcgee yeah it's a ryanism it's's Orionism. And we named the Minecraft world Goofy Goofy Poopy Poopy in remembrance of my superior intellect. Yes. Yeah. Y'all, I got to come on this server and see this for myself. You should. Jax and I had a Minecraft server recently. We got a few more creations that I want to nail down before we give you a tour because I want to present certain things to you. Well, what I'm excited for is to play Minecraft on the channel soon.
Starting point is 01:06:22 we give you a tour because I want to present certain things to you. Well, what I'm excited for is to play Minecraft on the channel soon. That is something that we want to start doing once the office is set up and we're back from Australia when we get back from going on cold ones. And so once those popular YouTuber losers stop playing it. I know. Let the cool kids take it. I know, that's the thing, right? You know, you got
Starting point is 01:06:37 PewDiePie, you got Jacksepticeye, you got all these cool, cool YouTubers playing it. What the kids like. Yeah, but guess what? These big babies out're the we're the underground content for minors exactly minors that work in that that work all day they can only taste hot sauce because of all the chemicals down there that's crazy hard day's work that's like like mining and they love let's plays they do coal miners in west virginia can you imagine like the fucking coal lifts like in the 1900s they just like some kid just got his fucking iPhone
Starting point is 01:07:05 out just watching like Ninja. No they just set up speakers and it's just audio. They listen to the super mega cast. Or it's projected with a projector in like this one kind of cavern. There's just black coal dust floating in front of the screen. Dude I went to a museum where they had a whole exhibit about like coal mining and stuff and like
Starting point is 01:07:21 it was like a tour and they actually had like a coal mine lift that like went down, like into the ground. Did you feel like a real one? Did you go, did you go on it? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:07:30 I'm getting a call from Los Angeles. You're going to just interrupt. No, it's sorry. I, it, I was, it's a missed call now.
Starting point is 01:07:36 I'll call them later. What if it's an important delivery from who? It's an LA number. Continue. I'm sorry. Uh, what was I saying? Who knows? There were, you go down the lift. Who knows? Justin. I'm sorry. What was I saying? Who knows?
Starting point is 01:07:45 You go down the lift. Who knows? Yeah. I'm glad you're enjoying my story. You were talking about how you think your hairline's starting to recede? You're talking about a cold lift. And you're going down in the lift. Yeah, it was scary.
Starting point is 01:07:58 That's what... You made us feel bad for that. When they went down into the... They didn't have lights. So it would just be pitch black darkness until I got down. It was the scariest shit. And they would be packed in. I think there was like maybe 10.
Starting point is 01:08:14 I can't say the numbers because then someone in the comments is going to try to act smart by going to the Wikipedia article, copying it, pasting it. And then, you know. Now you're learning. I'm not learning. We been new, sis. Yeah, absolutely. You know what I mean? Matt and I have been beaten down.
Starting point is 01:08:32 You're out of your depth on this one, guys. Because I've said some legitimately stupid things, but I think just- Who doesn't, though? Ours are just recording the world. Apparently most people. Yeah, definitely. Well, the thing is, it's like- Actually, Ryan. When we talk about something on the podcast, like a real life subject, ours are just recording the world yeah definitely actually Ryan when we talk about something on the podcast
Starting point is 01:08:47 like a real life subject and we get some shit wrong it's like what do you expect from two fucking college dropouts that are doing a podcast it's not even a college dropout thing though we're talking about shitting my pants you want to come here for legit intellectual discussion do people think everyone's just a fucking walking dictionary like you just know everything
Starting point is 01:09:04 about every I don't know. In normal conversation. There's some smart people. There are. In normal conversation, you're not going to, for example, you're not going to know the exact number of coal miners that went down a coal mining shaft at one time. Ten. Damn.
Starting point is 01:09:21 Love him or hate him, Matt Watson is spitting straight facts. He's spitting straight facts right now. I couldn't imagine being a coal miner, dude. Well, try to right now. I can't for some reason. Dude, I seriously couldn't. Because I was in one of the recreation of a mine. Scary shit ever.
Starting point is 01:09:40 You're also in the creation of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, Father God. Amen. Which you're always safe there, Justin. I am the creation. We all are. Yeah. Together. Super Mega is created by the Lord, technically.
Starting point is 01:09:52 So God created Super Mega. It's all part of his plan. Yeah. It's in the Bible. It's part of God's plan by Drake. Could you imagine if Christians had an NDA? Like if you joined a church, they had an NDA. So you couldn't talk about Christian, like the stuff in Christianity.
Starting point is 01:10:08 So what happens with Jesus? Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like I was kind of like, I was thinking about Scientology and I was bringing it back over. I was like, that is weird, but they're still exempt as a, as a religious thing and not this weird club. I don't want to say too much. I don't want to get on their list. It's like someone with a blow dart gun right outside the window. The thing is, I want a Hollywood movie to kind of give them an old one-two.
Starting point is 01:10:35 They're powerful though, man. They have so much money. And also, they're predominantly in Hollywood. Why can't Tarantino give them a good old pop, boop? You know what I'm saying? He's probably a Scientologist. Like there's big tobacco, just big Christianity. Okay. Why does Tarantino not give them one too What actor does Tarantino work with
Starting point is 01:10:49 In a lot that he likes Not Tom Cruise He's only worked with him once Oh that's true Is not a Scientologist Oh is he not I thought we were talking about actors that Tarantino liked No no no we're talking about actors he's worked with that are Scientologists.
Starting point is 01:11:05 Oh. Tom Cruise could have been in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Really? I think he was the next choice. After Brad Pitt? Yeah. Or something like that. There's like rumored Scientologist celebrities.
Starting point is 01:11:22 Like Will Smith is one of the rumored ones. Yeah. Could you see that? Like the way he acts? Yeah. Because if you the way Scientology has been presented to me through like documentaries and interviews and debates and shit like that on YouTube is it has that kind of Mormon vibe on the outside, but in a more kind of creepy, like kind of dark and gloomy type of way. Like Mormons are kind of like all bright and like, hey, haha, everything's great. We don't judge you.
Starting point is 01:11:57 Haha, we'll go watch the Book of Mormon musical and laugh at it because everyone's having fun. And then you have like Scientology who's like, we'll take you into a back room and beat you for three months if you ever discuss it. We'll show up in front of your house with a t-shirt with your face on it and register a website. What, like, what is Scientology? Like, what
Starting point is 01:12:15 do they believe? Fake. Hey, hey, hey, dude! So, Justin, is it true that before we started the podcast you were just telling Ryan how you think Scientology is the biggest bullshit? Dude, and like you think David Miscavige, the head of Scientology, is just the shortest little fucker in the world? I mean, he is. There's a video of him sucking dick, dude.
Starting point is 01:12:38 What? Yeah. No, you're fucking with me. Here, I'll show you. No. Hold on. No way. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:49 What? Holy shit. Look at him way yeah what Justin said that to you yeah Justin how do you have that look we don't need to bring up what I do on my off time okay I'll keep editing the let's plays you guys keep making your fucking fart jokes and could you imagine us getting an email where it's like do not ever make a reference I mean I would shit I would shit my pants for the third time in one week dude your sponsors are gonna hear you
Starting point is 01:13:09 guys talking about scientology and just run the other way i think scientology is big enough and rich enough to the point where they don't really give a shit about being but what what are they what are they like what do they believe in what's the what's the catch with scientology you want to run through it real quick because Because I seriously don't know anything. I know it's creepy as fuck. I can't get down to specific specifics. But essentially it is a program that started
Starting point is 01:13:34 a long time ago under the guise of self-betterment when a lot of those things were kind of popular. It's self-betterment but it claims to have its own scientific and its own scientific theories on the world, much like Christianity and stuff has kind of like – Yeah, yeah, yeah. But in this case, it's more in line of the dead souls of ancient aliens inhabit us and that's what makes us do evil things.
Starting point is 01:14:05 That's why we have stress. That's why there's bad in the world. Yeah. Here, let me give you the backstory, okay? All right. So many, I don't know how many years ago. I don't know if it's billions or if it's 10,000 years ago. I don't think it really fucking matters.
Starting point is 01:14:20 Basically, there's a galactic overlord named Xenu with an X. Okay, I've seen that name tossed around before. So Xenu, I don't remember what he was doing. I don't remember if they were slaves or something, but from aliens, they took all of these prisoners or these souls or something. Threw them into a volcano. They came to a distant planet, which is Earth, and they dumped them into a volcano to banish all the souls or some shit.
Starting point is 01:14:47 Their souls escaped from that volcano. And went into early humans, which were cavemen back then. Now humans have sin and things and bad things happen because those damned alien souls are inside of us now, which are called thetans, right? called thetans right and i think i i don't know if i'm correct but i kind of want to believe that scientology's answer isn't getting rid of thetans but it's more of like self-betterment and becoming in tune with knowing that they are inside of you and yeah and then there's like you can become stronger there's there's like a thing you have to do where basically you you hold these two metal things and they read your like thetan levels or something. And you have to just do this past regression thing.
Starting point is 01:15:29 I think you do because you go through like a past regression where they – it's like a type of therapy they came up with where you like – Here's the therapy, Justin. So it's therapy that's recorded and they keep in archives and you tell them your deepest, darkest secrets from the beginning of the earliest memory that you can remember. So they have – think of every Scientologist out there. Pages of documents and, like, a bunch of audio recordings. It's allegedly, from what I've seen from documentaries, it operates on blackmail. So that's why these people are – because basically it's like we have all of this on you. Also, like, they're very powerful.
Starting point is 01:16:05 The IRS was trying to remove their tax exempt status and they did that whole operation where they opened up all of these civil like lawsuits. They basically just threw a shit ton of lawsuits at the IRS to be like, hey. Individual members. To basically bully them. They beat the IRS into submission to make them a, what's it called? To not take away their tax exempt status. Yeah, as a religious organization. So they legitimately, like, they found the personal info of, like, IRS members,
Starting point is 01:16:39 and they opened a bunch of, like, small lawsuits against all of them, apparently. Because they have the money to do it they're rich as hell and they had like everyone in the church like the big people do it so then uh going clear is an hbo documentary that i i highly suggest people watch if they're interested uh because i didn't really realize how scary scientology was until i watched that and i was just my mind was blown i i've watched like like three times now. It's very, very eyeopening. Because there's the weird stuff that's like the alien stuff, right? But then they also have people,
Starting point is 01:17:09 there's a word for it. It's not banishment, but basically- Disconnect. Yeah, disconnect. If the church isn't okay with someone or they aren't in the church of Scientology and they are seen as kind of a threat, you have to disconnect from that person.
Starting point is 01:17:26 And at the beginning, remember self-betterment, like the book will be like disconnect from people who, but later when you're really involved with the church and you're a lot's writing on it, they tell you to start disconnecting from people like family. That aren't. And so there are people who have lost family members and haven't talked with them in years because they had, they disconnected from them. I mean, that rationale of thinking is so dangerous. It's like that girl who her whole family is in the Westboro Baptist Church and, like, they will not speak to her.
Starting point is 01:17:53 Yep. You know, it's like she chose to not. I think she's still religious, but she's like, I don't need to be an asshole. Yeah. So it's just how you should be. Yeah. I mean, it's totally fine to be religious. Just don't be a dick. Like, that's just.'s totally fine to be religious. Just don't be a dick.
Starting point is 01:18:05 Like that's. There's nothing like you can be religious. That's absolutely like spirituality. Like go for it. Just don't be a dick. You know? Yeah. Like don't, don't push what you believe on to others sort of thing.
Starting point is 01:18:15 Exactly. And don't. Unless you have a podcast. Yes. Then, then. You guys should just start pushing Scientology on the podcast. Like slowly. Like the viewers.
Starting point is 01:18:24 Man, I, I, viewers I cleansed my feet this weekend. I honestly feel good. They're still sneaky about it. They will have posters. It was one was near our old place of living where it was just kind of like enrich your life, better your life. Nothing about Scientology. Then you looked inside and you could read like
Starting point is 01:18:39 on a book that it was a Scientology book. Oh, I mean, you and I used to live right next to a Scientology center. Yeah. We didn't realize for like, no, it was directly like across the street. Wait, that was a Scientology center. I thought that was just like a bookstore.
Starting point is 01:18:52 No, that was a Scientology center. They're real sneaky about it, man. No, like if you didn't know, like I didn't know for the first like year and a half. It's also kind of secret. It's almost like, it's like, we'll let you come in. So you have to willingly decide you want to be, well, obviously.
Starting point is 01:19:04 Also, you got to give a lot of fucking money. Because when I think of Scientology, I think of the people on Hollywood Boulevard. I think it's Hollywood Boulevard where they're standing out in suits and trying to like get you to come in and test your feet and levels and watch a little 15 minute documentary. And they're a little give them a bunch of free books and DVD pamphlets and stuff. It's just wild. And also, it's worth throwing out there, the creator of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard, was a science fiction writer who was famous
Starting point is 01:19:30 for writing science fiction about aliens and shit. So take that into consideration. And there's also a quote from him where he's like, he was joking
Starting point is 01:19:38 with Orson Welles and he's like, the quickest way to become rich is to create a religion. And I think him and Orson Welles actually, I was told by someone, of course, I don't know if this is just like an urban legend,
Starting point is 01:19:51 but they had a bet on like who could become rich off of a creative religion first. Ooh, wow. Because L. Ron Hubbard has a lot of stuff because he was in the Navy, wasn't he? Because there was a thing where he was in the Navy. He's a pathological liar. He's a pathological, he's
Starting point is 01:20:05 proven to be a pathological liar. Science fiction writer, pathological writer. But he, when he was in the Navy, when he, cause he was on like, he was on the ships and they were out there for long periods of time. And sometimes it would get cold out on the ships. He would actually trade oral sex for hot chocolate. A lot of the nights interviews have come out about that. So that's a very interesting,
Starting point is 01:20:26 like fun fact. But yeah, I'm just afraid to, I don't know why. It's because they're so, they're, they're really fucking creepy. They want you to be afraid of them though.
Starting point is 01:20:35 You know? Cause it's like how, how, I mean, power, like people in power, like fear is used to control people. And when people start speaking the truth,
Starting point is 01:20:46 it happens. Hello? fear is used to control yeah people and when people start speaking the truth it absolutely
