My mom does, too. Hey, mom. Hey, mom. What's up?
Starting point is 00:02:48 I really wish you wouldn't listen to these. I always say that to my mom. But she explains it because I'm bad at communicating. She explains it as like, I just get to hear your voice. Exact same thing. My mom's like, you ignore a lot of my text messages and stuff like that. I'm a lot worse. You ignore a lot of my text messages and stuff like that.
Starting point is 00:03:04 I'm a lot worse. If your mom knew how the span of time my mom sometimes goes through because I'm a bad boy, she would be begging for the way you text her again. I call my mom multiple times a week still. I'm bad. I don't do that. I need to do that. I do text her here and there. I well you guys see the thing I'll go through
Starting point is 00:03:28 like there are some weeks where I'm busy and I just don't really talk to my parents it's mainly I don't talk to my dad as much sometimes I'll go like a week or two or three without even talking to my dad on the phone at all um but he never seems to like be upset about
Starting point is 00:03:44 it I think he kind of gets it yeah my mom though um i get it she's she's all lonesome and bored so yeah my dad's the same way her my sister he's still like my my stepmom will text me and be like hey could you please give us a call soon it's been a while i'm like fuck like not like fuck i have to call him it's like fuck I fucked up I'm shitty no same I know cause my well okay if I don't respond to my sister I don't have proof of this but I'm pretty certain if I don't respond to my sister she'll go and tell my
Starting point is 00:04:14 mom and my mom will be like he didn't respond to me either your sister strikes me as a mama's girl tattletale yeah she I'll frequently find things out uh like she said like it sounds like like from what i've listened to there there are constant occasions where your sister will go to your go to your mom about you in some way oh i'll tell my sister something and then my mom will bring it up to me and i'll be like what i didn't tell you that. She's like, oh, Samantha told me. And I'm like, okay.
Starting point is 00:04:49 It's that sibling trust, that bond that never breaks. Yeah, never breaks. It's never anything like serious or like extreme. It's just like little things. It's like, oh, she told you that? Okay. If my sister knew the things my mom told me about her. That's another can of worms. If she knew the things your mom told me about her.
Starting point is 00:05:06 What are you talking about? Are you talking to my mom regularly? Not regularly, but on occasion. That's weird. Okay. Your mom actually posted on my Facebook wall recently, which I don't
Starting point is 00:05:21 use anymore. Did you see I changed my profile picture again on Facebook? Again to what? wall recently which i don't use anymore i did i changed my did you see i changed my profile picture again on facebook wait again to what uh no it was to the oh did they really like a mustache the face app picture yeah holy shit um i i so so we have facebook profiles you know from like way back in the day that we never use ever in like high school no i don't i think it was still back in high school i remember deleting facebook after a breakup because i was like i because i'm i was the type of person back then because you're young you're filled with emotion it's everything's the end of the world and so it was uh my first
Starting point is 00:05:53 relationship i was in college and so i deleted facebook so as to like try to erase all sorry i was in high school i deleted facebook to erase all just kind of like anything. I didn't want to see their face. I didn't want to see them liking anything. What was his name? Dale. Think you're funny? Some of the comments say otherwise, but I generally like the theme that think that I'm somewhat humorous at times. You're very funny. Funnier than me.
Starting point is 00:06:28 I think you're funny, too. I don't think I'm funnier than you. I think you're way eons funnier than me. I think you're more consistent than I am. That's not true at all. I feel the exact opposite. Maybe we're both just insecure. That's probably it. And we're both funny. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:40 Or neither of us are funny. That's a possibility, too. Looks at screen as the viewers are watching we're talking to you yeah you guys have bad taste but what are you saying about we're saying facebook well if well if you continue to watch something you don't like then you have bad taste yeah yeah because that means that you just you enjoy bad you'd like like watching bad stuff for some reason yeah but not in like a fun way. No. Like when we watch bad stuff. It's definitely like. For funs and giggles. But my.
Starting point is 00:07:07 Like Delta farce. That's not bad. That's not bad. I was. So yeah. I don't use my Facebook anymore. I'll log on. Maybe like once a month.
Starting point is 00:07:17 Just to like. See if I have any notifications. Which I do. And they're always just like. Your friend you barely talked to in high school. Just posted for the first time in a while. Go check it out. It's more reminding me to stay connected than actual people doing anything.
Starting point is 00:07:31 Yeah, it's just like that. It's like someone posted on this page you follow. And it's like, I don't care. I liked Facebook when it was more kind of like a nice, close group knit of people, like friends that you've kind of garnered or like acquaintances you garnered seeing like photos seeing like their status i remember statuses were a big thing statuses oh you post on someone's wall yeah remember that yeah but now it seems to be more just kind of like a a tumblr with your family yeah it's just like people post videos people post i'm gonna share just sharing now like my grandmother shares stuff all the time and i and i sometimes i'll go and check her profile because it's always just kind of like it'll get political.
Starting point is 00:08:08 And then it'll just kind of just be like a cute dog or a cat. So your mom posted on my wall, though, a video of a man being reunited with his cat after seven years. And she said, don't. She means well to me. No, she means so well. It's very sweet. Everything she does is with good intentions. And actually, I don't think I've addressed this on the podcast yet because I don't think we've recorded one since I've officially announced this.
Starting point is 00:08:33 Yeah. Bad, sad news, guys. My good little boy, Banana, is no longer with us. Very, very rough month for me since that that happened but he he disappeared at the beginning of January and never came home so that's all that's all I really got to say about that he was he was chasing the big mice and red laser in the sky and the the thing is, I know, but there is a possibility
Starting point is 00:09:06 he isn't dead, but it's been about two months now and he hasn't come home and it's coyote season. Yeah. And I don't want to, you know,
Starting point is 00:09:17 make assumptions, but I think it's safe to say that, you know, that book is closed. And if it reopens, it does for now it's yeah i'm i just can't i i need i need like closure for myself so i had to you know i don't keep talking about this though it's gonna make me choke up like a little like a little bitch yeah i was i was i was i was
Starting point is 00:09:38 getting kind of uh nervous i was like oh no he's gonna start getting emotional he's gonna start crying it's gonna be awkward but dude i hope that I hope this experience, like it doesn't, I hope you're not afraid to adopt cats in the future. Absolutely. Because it's very important. Like there's a lot of cats that need a home and Banana like was a very fat, well-fed dude and he wouldn't have been. Started out as a little stray in Culver City.
Starting point is 00:10:02 And he wouldn't have been that way if like he wasn't adopted. So it's like, I always think like, you know. He was an asshole. Yes. Like, he was definitely an asshole. But he was my asshole. Exactly. You know.
Starting point is 00:10:12 He was our asshole for a while when we were together. He did put up with Uncle Ryan quite a bit until the bitter end. Yeah. Because the last time I tried to pick him up, he got really mad at me. He got real mad. Yeah. You were like, hey, buddy, remember me? He picked him up up but he was not happy because usually i could go pet him or something but he tenses up and like gets his neck he didn't like visitors that much but he doesn't he never hissed
Starting point is 00:10:33 at me randomly yeah he's tucker a lot he hated tucker yeah well for good reason tucker would antagonize him a lot yeah um but banana had a wonderful life uh very fantastic life and i'm i'm very happy that uh i was able to give him a very happy life uh well-fed spoiled sweet sweet little sweet little life and a fat big fat boy and you know what if he is still alive i hope wherever he is he's happy maybe some other family just I don't think so. I don't think anyone would be able to get Banana. He's probably chilling on his throne and on top of a thing of garbage. You know, I'm going to look real stupid if one day he just walks back through the cat door like three months from now.
Starting point is 00:11:16 And I'm going to have to be like, guys, Banana's actually not dead. Honestly, I would love that. He has a great set of tits now. A beautiful set of tits. Yeah, he has a great set of tits now a beautiful set of tits yeah he had beautiful implants put on but i would like i would i would definitely uh you know i want that but of course it's it's hard to keep hoping it's always it's always the whole uh when you lose someone you even with with pets with friends regardless it's like when you lose something you yearn
Starting point is 00:11:39 for that feeling of either coming home to them because it feels a little more full or it's lonesome at night just their presence just watch like you know you hear it's home to them because it feels a little more full or it's lonesome at night. Just their presence. Just why is like, you know, you hear it's, it's like a, it's a stereotype at this point, right? Where it's like, ah, I just, I just always like look at the door and it's like, ah, I could see them walking right through. Well, that's how I feel because I'd always hear him come through the cat door and I'll be in the kitchen like late at night by myself. And I'll look at the cat door and I'm like, ah, fuck. I just want to hear it open. I just want to see him come through. But it's a, that's life, I guess is what it is. And I'm very thankful for all the time I got with him. And I'm thankful for everyone that did beautiful fan art throughout
Starting point is 00:12:16 the years and sent him gifts. Um, he loved everything, um, and played with everything you guys sent. Um, and I sent and I'm really appreciative that he got a life that so many people could watch and enjoy and I guess that's all I got to say about that rest in peace buddy you can still go see his cute fucking face yeah I'm glad that it's documented
Starting point is 00:12:37 we can go and slam him into a door in a vlog yeah put him in a bag and slam him against a wall yeah it's not real guys for the people that no don't break sorry i don't want to break the so i don't but yeah back let me get back to facebook what i was saying is facebook um i i really want to delete my facebook but they kind of got got me with that thing where it's like now you use facebook to sign into a lot of really connected to a bunch of bullshit accounts where it's like, now you use Facebook to sign into a lot of really random things.
Starting point is 00:13:05 It's connected to a bunch of bullshit accounts where it's like, I don't want to put my email with this or whatever. Yeah, it's like, oh, it's easy. Just click sign in Facebook. I'm pretty sure my Spotify is through Facebook. I'm like, I don't want to. I just want to, like, I just don't want Facebook anymore. And I don't use it.
Starting point is 00:13:19 But I remember like some viewers went through once and just like got all my old like pictures from middle school and high school and like post them. And I was like, come on. Back before you privated your page. Yeah. And I was like, don't, don't be uncool. Just. That isn't, that was an interesting turn.
Starting point is 00:13:35 Just let me live my life. Where I felt like I had to turn my Facebook private. Yeah. It was of course immediately kind of of I think after I met Mark. But it's like a very stark difference. Like before, it's just no one gave a shit. No one was searching for me unless I went to school with them or something. And then when you enter the scope of YouTube, people tend to latch themselves on to some of the stuff that you don't understand.
Starting point is 00:14:02 One of that stuff is like I still like I don't know if you have it but i still i'm just kind of like oh wow people like the content or that i make regardless of it no it's a podcast or a sketch i'll have you know like that uh those classic moments where you're laying awake in the middle of the night and your brain for some reason always wants to go to uh anxiety thoughts it's always like i i just get this guilt where i'm like why why the fuck do people watch me like i don't i don't find myself funny i there's so many other talented people out there that are funny well it comes down to like i wouldn't watch me and i compare myself to all these other creators i know that are like legitimately funny and i'm like fuck like why are people following me like I don't deserve this and it's not going to last.
Starting point is 00:14:46 It's going to go away because people are going to realize I'm not funny. Well, you're right. One day that will come. Yeah. Well, I mean, that's inevitable. And I think that's going into it. That's something we've always known is like, you know, one day we won't be relevant anymore. That's okay.
Starting point is 00:15:01 Because in a way that- Y'all are relevant now? That's not bad i think becoming irrelevant no because it there will be a day i guess one day where we return to kind of like we're also not in the general sphere of people's knowledge i think i don't think the average person knows our names our existence or anything like that yeah not the old average joe but uh a lot of people are online knows who Your average Joe knows who Jack Septiceye is. Yeah, of course, dude.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Maybe. I don't know. He was on a – dude, your average Joe knows Markiplier. He was on Larry King. He was. Multiple times. He was on Seth Meyers. It's because I know these people where I can't put myself in the mind of kind of like a stranger to them in the general public.
Starting point is 00:15:44 Yeah, Yeah. Like when I see, when I see Finn Wolfhard in a movie trailer, it's just, it's like weird, you know, I was going to go see a movie though. I was seeing a movie and I was about to go into the theater and you know, you're about to turn your cell phone off and shit. And I got a, I got a text from him and he's like, Hey man, uh, do you want to play Call of Duty? And I was just kind of like, I was like, I just had to wrap my head around it just because um it's such a weird thing that like i know all of these people who are successful in their own right um and they're so just kind of like closely knit through youtube like uh finn does do live streams with his brother sometimes but like he he generally is known for net from netflix and film
Starting point is 00:16:25 yeah i mean like so but how that intersects into youtube is still just crazy because it it never works out predictably um for example like lily sing she did a talk show and i don't feel like it's gotten a lot of critical claim. She did a talk show? She has one. Does she still? I think it might have been renewed for season two. I watched some clips from it. They put her in the graveyard time slot too just because
Starting point is 00:16:56 she's a new show. They don't even film in the NBC studio. They film in like a separate thing. Her garage. Probably. It's like a set. I think it's near where Buzz buzzfeed is filmed where they film it but it was buzzfeed in hollywood i think so i've driven past their office before it's just it's it's like a glass box you can just see inside like all the people at their desks yeah like wow all those people are just writing nonsense right now it's like you'll
Starting point is 00:17:19 you'll you see kind of certain youtubers being accepted by the general public and then i'm like oh youtubers are being accepted by the general public. And then I'm like, Oh, YouTubers are being accepted by the general public. But then when they step out into what has been dictated as a certain type of mainstream medium, like her live show, it's still her live show, her talk show, late night show.
Starting point is 00:17:39 It just fails. It like falls flat on. That's really interesting to me. Yeah. How I think that. It could also be because of the quality and. Yeah. You know, all that.
Starting point is 00:17:48 Because I feel confident enough in our abilities, at least, that I think if you and I made something beyond YouTube, whether it was a pilot or something, we would be able to break free from the like, oh, YouTubers make a TV pilot. Because I feel like because from our start, you know. I just make something I was I was happy with. Exactly. I don't want to make something that makes money. I don't want to make some. Well, was happy with exactly i don't want to make something that makes money i don't want to make some well i mean of course i want to make something that makes money but i don't that's not my main my main thing is i want
Starting point is 00:18:10 something that i can feel i want to say at one point i stepped out and i did this thing and regardless of uh the the critic acclaim i guess i did it like i don't want that's an achievement of itself yes but i would still care about the quality of the product. Like, it's not just to say that I created a TV show at the same time, but it's like, I think it's an important project sometimes that well, it's important. Sorry. Let me rephrase that. It's important sometimes to take on these projects. Um, because like with you, with music videos, you put yourself out of your comfort zone where you normally, um, have more, you know, you're working with people that you're familiar with, with me, with people that you're not, you're not, you don't have to
Starting point is 00:18:48 really, I guess, kind of impress in a way, but when you're doing music videos, it is more of, it is definitely a hangout session, but you also have, you have more of, I feel like when you're directing, you have more of a, like there's more going on in your mind. You have to keep track of more stuff because you're, you're keeping track of like the actors that you, that you hired to come. You you're thinking of, uh, it's stressful.
Starting point is 00:19:10 The, uh, the, the talent itself. You're thinking of the choreography. You're thinking of, uh, the cameraman.
Starting point is 00:19:14 Everyone, everyone, it's like everyone has to be pleased. Whereas if you and I are just shooting a sketch, you and I just have to be in a good mood. Yeah, exactly. I mean,
Starting point is 00:19:22 directing music videos is, is really fun. Um, and creatively I mean, directing music videos is really fun and creatively fulfilling for sure, but it's stressful. Also, the back end of creating music videos can be- So much fucking work has to go into it. And I have several still that aren't out yet for clearances with like Sony and stuff.
Starting point is 00:19:41 It's a whole thing. A lot of shit has to go on behind the scenes. You can't just make a music video and drop it. You have to talk to lawyers and, uh, agents and stuff like that. This has to be here. Is this okay?
Starting point is 00:19:51 But like stuff like that. So that's why there hasn't been that much stuff on lazy eye, but there's more coming, but still go check it out. Lazy eye on Instagram, Twitter, lazy eye.com and at lazy on everything. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:03 Uh, it's in the sidebar. It's also in your bio, I think, right? Yeah, it's in my bio. Yeah. I do that with those Tucker boys. But I feel like what's most important to me in creating something is
Starting point is 00:20:17 because I'll break it down to an even deeper level. People want money because money brings you happiness, right? Or that's the- That's the general thought. That's the general thought about money. So it's like, if we're gonna make a TV show
Starting point is 00:20:30 and it makes lots of money, that would bring us happiness. What brings me a bigger happiness than money is making something that I feel really passionately proud about. Like this is good. And that brings me a lot more happiness than money would. So I think that when I make something, it's more important to achieve that feeling
Starting point is 00:20:46 than achieve like, oh, it's making a lot of money. Of course, money's nice. Everyone loves money. But like, not even like personal accomplishments is like, cause the music video thing, it is a big in scope and it's a lot to pull off. And people might be like, well, I couldn't step out. It's something as small.
Starting point is 00:21:03 It can be something as small as getting a new hobby yeah you could it like there there's so many different levels but i think it's important um for you to find i guess what personally fulfills you uh because otherwise you'll just kind of be in that nine to five headspace well with regardless to whether you're working a nine to five job you start to your days start to progress in more of a spin. They progress in kind of like this fog where because you're doing all these actions over and over again, waking up at the same time, going to the same place, doing the same things over and over again. Like it's a good catalyst. Yeah. I mean, it, it, it, I feel like that makes time go by faster because you're just, at least for me, it does. If I'm ever in that fall.
Starting point is 00:21:46 Because things do blur together. Days begin to just kind of blur together. And that's why it's important to get hobbies and stuff. Well, that's why like it's. Everyone needs hobbies. Yeah. Even more than hobbies. If you have a passion, go after it.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Maybe not give up everything in pursuit of it because you have to judge life as as it's handed to you but if you have a passion work on it from afar do stuff that like if you have a passion for acting like fucking join a like go into like a there's a small theater group probably nearby that you could try to join yeah and usually those people regardless of the hierarchies that are a part of every uh, there are like friendships to make and there are like bonds to have. I guess what I – a way I would look at it is at the end of your life, looking back, if you were asked, did you do like all of the stuff that you wanted to do and could have done? Like I have a very specific vision of myself in my head of what I what would what's the best version of how I want to be.
Starting point is 00:22:55 So it's kind of like I want to be able to at the end of my life, look back and be like, I at least partially achieve that, you know. So it's like think about the person you want to be and then just make small steps to do that because you will be happier it's just it's not easy you know and life gets in the way but you gotta try gotta try a little bit and uh don't put yourself down if you are in a creative rut or just in a in a in a in a down rut because it's, I'm not, it's like, it always passes, but it, uh, it's just, uh, if, if you start owning the mentality that this is all life can be, you're going to not really see the cracks that you can break through to, to be happier, you know, whatever. Like, so one of those things for me that I know is obvious is smoking.
Starting point is 00:23:48 It's like, that is something that I see would make me happier if I quit and all this other stuff. And it's just kind of like, I just need to get there. And I struggle with it all the time. Yeah. Yeah. But I, as long as I can still like see it, like, oh, I, as long as I can still have like days where I'll like go without them and I'll be proud of myself a little bit. I'm still working. Small steps, man.
Starting point is 00:24:13 In terms of whatever. But yeah, these lungs still fill with ash, baby. Oh yeah. It's patchy on the back. That would be terrifying. You know what would convince, you know, I actually think would convince you to stop smoking. What we should do. Go take pictures of my lungs. Let's go. We should go to a lung doctor. That would be terrifying. You know what I actually think would convince you to stop smoking? What we should do?
Starting point is 00:24:26 Go take pictures of my lungs. We should go to a lung doctor. Well, I told Justin that the next time I win a solo victory royale in Fortnite, I will quit smoking. Really? Yeah. Would you go to the doctor with me to get x-rays taken? Sure. Would you really?
Starting point is 00:24:41 I don't know what it has to do with Fortnite, but okay. No, like to see your lungs? Oh, yeah, I would. Would you really? I don't know what it has to do with Fortnite, but okay. No, like to see your lungs? Oh yeah, I would. Would you? Yeah. I think that might. That's probably definitely a big kick in the pants to quit, I would imagine. You'd be like, uh-oh. Yeah, I need to. I'm fucking almost 30. The best thing about smoking is you can't see
Starting point is 00:24:57 the damage it's doing, you know? You can only feel the wonderful tingles that it creates. The wonderful tingles of nicotine. Nicotine's addictive as fuck, man. Yeah, it is, baby. Yeah, baby. I was hard on that fucking Juul. You remember how much I Juul'd?
Starting point is 00:25:11 Oh, yeah. And it made me break out in acne. It gave me horrible. Dude, when I would drop it and then pick it up again and then drop it and then pick it up again, the habit, not the actual Juul. the habit, not the actual jewel. I remember I would notice, because I would go long periods of time without nicotine, like a couple of weeks without juuling.
Starting point is 00:25:32 And then I'd do it heavy for a couple of weeks. And I always noticed immediately after starting again, my general anxiety, like, you know, the type of anxiety that feels like a buzz in your stomach and you're trying to figure out why you're anxious. You're like, there's gotta be some reason I'm anxious. Like something that's in my mind. It's like a very fast fluttering of the heart and you feel weak. You're just like, why do I feel? And you don't feel happy. You feel like you're just like on the precipice of about to go down on a, you're not taking the plunge on a roller coaster, but it's the precipice of
Starting point is 00:26:01 like, oh, you know, something's coming, but you don't know what that thing is. It's like an impending doom feeling. Yeah. And I noticed that when I would do nicotine, that would just suddenly be so horrible all day, every day. And then when I quit, that would go away. So quitting nicotine was really good for my, and I did, I had a, I had a, I remember, of course, cause we had that podcast episode called We Quit Smoking way back in the day when we did.
Starting point is 00:26:24 We did. But then we did. We did. But then, of course. We did for a bit. I know exactly what happened. The first downfall was we were like, oh, when we go to Japan. Oh, it was Japan. We're on vacation. We can smoke cigarettes on vacation because it's vacation.
Starting point is 00:26:37 And then, of course. Japan was the downfall. It was the downfall because it's like, I remember we got back and you're like, whoa, I still got half a pack. I'm just going to finish this pack. And then, then, you know, oh, this pack's almost done. Ah, just one more pack. One more. So I can have one last full pack in LA.
Starting point is 00:26:53 And then I have that. And I'm like, oh, it's, it's, it's, it's Thursday. How about I quit on Monday? Yeah. It's like, I'll start the week fresh. Yep. And then it gets to Monday. Like you get through Monday and then you get, you come to Tuesday and you're like,
Starting point is 00:27:06 oh, I'm starting it. I'm starting, you know, I haven't smoked. I'm great. Things are good. And all of a sudden you'll just kind of eat a lot and you'll be like, oh, someone smokes on a movie screen. You'll be like, that was a big one for me was I found myself like subconsciously if I'm watching a movie and I had my Juul, when someone would be smoking, I'd suddenly be
Starting point is 00:27:23 like, oh, I'm hating this without even thinking about it and jewel jeweling I definitely you know you're free of nicotine I am fully free of nicotine now I have not jeweled I can't remember the last time I jeweled or did nicotine and it feels great um I have more energy throughout the day yeah uh and it's easier to wake up but um I mean the last time I jeweled was uh Christmas my brother-in-law had a jewel and I ripped it. And I took a picture on a moped where I was ripping it and people didn't like that. Like, he's lying to us. He's jeweling again.
Starting point is 00:27:52 I think some people miss, of course, not everyone's going to watch every video we do. So when we say that we quit and all of a sudden it's like we're just doing it again. They don't get the in-between of some of the podcasts where we're like, fuck, I'm back on. And it is a struggle. It's an addiction. So we're only human. still no excuse to be a little bitch and keep smoking though yeah absolutely I'm talking to myself
Starting point is 00:28:12 and anyone who smokes motherfuckers well I really I love reading comments from people saying that like I think a big motivation is you know seeing comments from people that say like you guys inspired me to quit smoking some people yeah I know and I hate that and I feel bad i feel guilty because like they made that move because i started and then you kept smoking yeah i mean use that as motivation like you know like i think that's a that's a great
Starting point is 00:28:34 motivator and i think that fortnight dub is the better motivator yeah that's the best not the picture of your lungs not the just the fortnight dub yeah you know it's an even better i mean i made i made justin the fortnight promise that dude if you made justin the fortnight promise i can't go back on that you can't break like here's the thing though you know what's an even better one? I made Justin the Fortnite promise. Dude, if you made Justin the Fortnite promise. I can't go back on that. You can't break that promise. Here's the thing, though. You know what that means? I'm quitting probably within a month.
Starting point is 00:28:54 Right. Here's the thing, man. Because I'm going to get that dub. I'm going to get that dub. You will. And the truth about addiction is if you tell yourself, oh, I'm going to quit on this date, it's not going to happen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:29:07 You have to quit immediately. The moment I get that dub. There's no better moment to quit than right now. It's like, you have to just be like, nope, nope, I'm throwing the rest of the cigarettes away. That's it, I'm done. And then just go from there because you're never going to be ready.
Starting point is 00:29:19 If you're addicted to something, you're never going to be ready to not be addicted. Can you imagine me? I'm in second place and I'm like, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck. And all of a sudden i'm like i just like just drop the controller on the ground i'm like oops that was stressful i need a cigarette i almost got one so stressful i guess another cigarette will calm me how do you i mean you don't have to answer this how many do you smoke a day on average um let me let me let me think like are you like a pack a day or half a pack a day
Starting point is 00:29:45 I'd say honestly anywhere between 5 and 10 5 and 10 cigarettes that's a lot so that's like a fourth to half a pack a day my grandpa who I never met because he passed away before I was born but he started smoking at like 12
Starting point is 00:30:01 and he smoked his whole life and I think he would smoke like three packs a day that's 60 cigarettes a day he'd wake up that sounds gross to me he's one of the types of people that you know because i don't i don't i don't necessarily enjoy smoking a cigarette i mean there are things that i like about it but like every time i'm smoking i do kind of like get this kind of like gagginess to me. Cigarettes are disgusting. They taste awful, man. And some people tell me-
Starting point is 00:30:26 And you feel and smell gross afterwards too. I know somebody that smokes cigarettes, but they don't inhale it. They just have it in their mouth like a cigar. And they're like, I just like the taste. I'm like, no, you don't. That's disgusting. I feel like they do it because it looks cool.
Starting point is 00:30:39 Like you don't want to, I mean, smoking a cigarette looks pretty cool, right? Like- Yeah, but smokers know when someone's not inhaling. Well, okay. You know what I mean? Like, like now I used to smoke cigarettes with him and, uh, you know, I was like, I would inhale. And then only later I find out he didn't inhale. And I was like, so I've been the only one smoking this whole time actually. And like, give me myself a worse nicotine addiction. Cause you can tell when someone, cause like in movies, like if someone's not a smoker
Starting point is 00:31:05 and they don't want to smoke, it's in a, it's in an old Louis episode. You can see the cloud is different if they inhale it. In a Louis episode, someone's smoking, she's just going,
Starting point is 00:31:15 essentially, it's just, but I hate, because I don't, I don't feel like when people smoke, they, they,
Starting point is 00:31:24 I mean, they don't have enough time to just like put it in their lungs and blow it out like that you can tell when someone's like actually like you know what i hate this is this talk is making me want a cigarette too bad you're not having it no i know i'm not and and if it if it made anyone else want a cigarette sorry we're not don't do it we're not doing it. Please don't do it. Here's what, I was told this once about addiction. And this is really, I think a really great way to frame it. Let's say you quit smoking and you really, really fucking want a cigarette so bad
Starting point is 00:31:56 and you're fighting that urge and you know it will pass. Like, you know, every time that urge happens and you fight it off, that was some of the addiction leaving you. Because you won. You beat it. You beat that little chunk of the addiction clawing at your back.
Starting point is 00:32:13 And once you get past that, it's like, all right, it's never going to be. Next one won't be as bad because that was part of that addiction leaving my body. And I won. I mentally progressed in my healing path of addiction. And that goes for all addictions, not just like porn, alcohol, drugs. Porn epic. Porn is epic. Naked people are nice.

It's great. It's our staple. It's our style, man. That is our style. That's our staple, right? Yeah. That's what you just said and I just repeated it. It's okay. Your's our style man that is our style that's our staple right yeah
Starting point is 00:38:25 that's what you just said and i just repeated it it's okay your hair looks wild right now dude because i took my hat off your hair's looking great man it's it's getting long so i have to it's getting in that awkward stage of not it's not long long but it's getting it's growing yeah it's getting in that stage where i have to wear hats and beanies or else i look like a fucking doofus from medieval times i am so uh i love that that was a an era of super mega the bald era where we both fully shaved very short period of time but um for everyone that got to be a part of that and why like you're witnessing an era right now that we'll all look back on one day where we we shaved our heads and both of us shaved our heads right yeah yeah houston we shaved them bald on stage second show first show oh yeah oh yeah never mind because we were like god damn why didn't we do that for the last show i know
Starting point is 00:39:12 and then the rest of the tour we're fucking bald as shit and think about these people that that buy a meet and greet ticket because they're so excited to like finally meet us and take a picture and they they didn't see the news and they just see these two bald fucks and we looked bad bald i like at the time i rationalized it to myself but i go back i look at the pictures and i'm like jesus christ i you looked all right i got mine i got mine cleaned up at a sports clips nearby i didn't i i just uh i was just like it's i have to get it even because if i'm gonna start growing growing it out, I just got to. Jackson's cousin shaved my head. Yes. After the last show.
Starting point is 00:39:47 You have to have it shaved again. Yeah. After the last show. But the worst part was there was one little part in the front that she kind of missed. So it grew. So I had to try to shave myself, but then it was uneven. It was. But our hair is back now.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Like I could say our hair is fully normal. Oh, yeah. Like it's not as long as it was before because remember I swoop it over and then it comes down. I'm going to have to grow it a little longer for that. But I would say that both of us, our hair is back to a normal length. Yeah. Yeah. Mine's definitely, I mean, my hair's, you typically, I'd say for the most part in the beginning of Super Mega, at least, been shorter than it is now.
Starting point is 00:40:20 Yeah. And I've definitely had shorter hair too. I'm trying to, like like just let my hair kind of just grow out and get messy same like that's a good it's a good same baby i used to really care about like doing it up just right but fuck i just let it do what it does it's the it's it's the i don't care look except for me it's the hat head look your hair you always think your hair looks bad when it really doesn't thanks man your hair just, it has so much volume, dude. Really? Yes.
Starting point is 00:40:48 Your hair, Ryan, you've seen my thin ass hair, bro. I like it. It's nice. Thank you. Looks very soft and nice to the touch. It is very soft. I think that shaving my head was actually good because I've noticed my hair has come back more full than it was. I don't know why, but my hair grew back like fuller,
Starting point is 00:41:06 a little bit thicker and actually a little bit darker. It's, I think it's darker than it used to be. It looks, it looks darker. But also, it just feels healthier
Starting point is 00:41:14 when I run my hands through it. You did like, bleach your hair essentially, one time and it was just lighter for a long time. Yeah. And actually, in a way it felt good
Starting point is 00:41:22 to just kind of like reset my head and fully, if I had known it. Reset my head. I mean, in a way, it felt good to just kind of like reset my head and fully. Reset my head. I mean, we did. We reset our heads, bro. If I had known that it would take four months to grow back to a decent state,
Starting point is 00:41:32 I probably wouldn't have done it. But you know what? I was in solidarity with my bro. That clip's online if you guys want to go find it. Someone filmed it and posted it. It was wild. It's when we shaved our heads on stage.
Starting point is 00:41:45 Actually, if we have the audio, hold on a second. I would like to, I want to put some live shows on Patreon because I just found the files. And if we have the one for Houston, I can cut that up and put it on Patreon with the intro and everything. What I'm most excited about for putting the live shows on Patreon
Starting point is 00:42:01 is everyone on there can see the actual intro and all the videos that we worked so hard hard on for the show because the last the texas tour was definitely uh the most cohesive because we had we had like a lot of a lot of bits that uh were recurring throughout is everything okay if that was completely unexpected then we i just knocked off a piece on the Super Mega 2020 bingo set. What? I don't know. This thing on our subreddit.
Starting point is 00:42:34 The bingo? Yeah. Did you just knock one off? Maybe. It says something completely unexpected. So if the person who made the bingo board was expecting a fart, then I guess they can't knock it off. Well, also, you got me because you were looking at your phone and you looked really tense. I think for that they wanted, like, something grand, like something that, oh, something that we're not expecting.
Starting point is 00:42:52 A movie! That counts. That counts. I think it counts. I'm making, as co-founder of Super Mega, that I'm making the executive decision that that counts, the bingo board. We've actually been hitting that bingo board real hard. Not even intentionally. What?
Starting point is 00:43:09 This also says, I want to see if we can knock off another one. Somebody made a bingo board on the SuperMega subreddit for 2020. And we've just been kind of knocking pieces off. I know. There's some on there I don't think are going to happen at all this year, though. Maybe. Ryan or Matt get nude for some reason. Haven't we been nude again or not completely nude this year not fully nude in a video uh but if we do it on the podcast does it
Starting point is 00:43:29 count no they're they're good they like well i'm still thinking that's something completely unexpected what i did like two minutes ago well you scared me i thought something was wrong because you were looking very like stern at your phone and then you slowly looked up at me and i was like what what's wrong that's why i asked i was like, what? What's wrong? That's why I asked. I was like, is everything okay? Yeah. Well, I think that's all we can knock off here. But I just thought I'd cheat. Also, Drunk Drawing and Mailroom have made it back in action, baby.
Starting point is 00:44:02 Drunk Drawing is, I think, the format that we've kind of always wanted it. But we just you just workshop until you finally get the right one. I have, this one feels, this one feels a lot more fun because at the same time as we're having fun, we're also paying in a weird way, homage to the culture or to whatever we're doing around that subject. So like with Fortnite, you know,
Starting point is 00:44:19 we edit it in a way that's going to be the, I would like that to kind of keep going where we kind of, you know, pay tribute to whatever we're doing doing regardless of if we actually like it or not yeah yeah of course and and like i i love the new format like the sec the segment with jack that's perfect yeah it's every episode he's gonna make themed drinks for us and on and if you're and if you're a patreon member uh he posts the full recipe with like a cute little recipe card on the patreon an artist to do like a nice drawing of each drink. As well as for each drunk drawing, there's always going to be, I think, three Patreon exclusives.
Starting point is 00:44:53 The recipe card. So you can make the drink at home. So you can make the drink at home. The full res versions of the drawings. Yep. And. And. An extra drawing.
Starting point is 00:45:02 An extra clip. After the cameras, after the episode ends, we go and we do an additional drawing. An extra clip. After the episode ends, we go and we do an additional drawing for Patreon. Yeah. And because it's Patreon, we don't really have to worry about censoring ourselves too much. And we can...
Starting point is 00:45:14 The last one... You got nervous for the drawing of this one because you didn't want to step on anyone's toes. I did. You didn't want to make a Fortnite man mad. A certain somebody associated with Fortnite, Jackson, gave him a lot of acne. And I might have removed it. People are going to be upset.
Starting point is 00:45:33 Release the full version. You censored it. And then it's going to be a huge deal when I release it. And then he's going to see it and be like, what the fuck? And then block me. People can't post our content from Patreon yeah that's true Ninja would have to pay 5 bucks oh 2
Starting point is 00:45:48 5 bucks ain't nothing to Ninja also uh yeah but we do we do an extra clip usually like 5 to 10 minutes of uh bonus drawing that we all work together on we also recently just put out the new Q&A video yeah new Q&A video on Patreon and uh
Starting point is 00:46:05 oh i i had an idea i wanted to run by you actually for future mailroom videos and i'm sure people will love this is uh because you know when making stop breathing when we're making our videos are very fast paced and cut up and we get a lot of mail that doesn't make it in the videos and that's because you know. And that's because we're trying to be goofy. Oh, and something I want to say. I feel bad because we touched up this mail video. It was edited by Prezzo. So he doesn't kind of – this isn't a mistake on Prezzo's part at all.
Starting point is 00:46:44 It's just either we didn part at all it's just we either we didn't say or it's not in the video we didn't thank the people who sent us Tim's or we said thank you but we didn't like address them directly but uh thank you if you sent us Tim's fucking cause that's expensive I know it might have just gotten cut
Starting point is 00:47:00 out we finally got the Tim's yeah and we have a lot of mail sitting right now for we're gonna do another mail video next week we're trying to actually get uh mail videos out like very frequently uh because we used to just do it like every other month but now that we we're we're currently building a more permanent mailroom set because right now we're filming in the recording room uh but we have a lot of stuff on the way to build like a nicer set uh and my idea for the mailroom thing is because we don't show a lot of the stuff we get because like people will send in like a little doodle of us or something and
Starting point is 00:47:30 if we put all of that in it would be too long of a video and people for the mailrooms they're crazy so people usually just want to see like the insane stuff we get well i feel bad and you have to cut it down to make it cohesive like video but i feel bad not including that. And you have to cut it down to make it a cohesive video. But I feel bad not including that stuff because we genuinely appreciate it. So I was thinking at the end of every mail room, we can do a little thing where it's a special thanks and we can show all the fan art we got, all the smaller things that didn't make it into the bit. Like a little slideshow. It's like...
Starting point is 00:47:59 Yeah. Like with some music and a special thanks and thanking everyone that sent... It's like, check out the other stuff we got. honestly uh i'm gonna tell matt a secret real quick uh well matt knows my secret now so that's a hefty secret man yeah i can't believe you have not told me that before well now you know i do know and it's honestly i kind of wish you have not told me that before. Well, now you know. I do know. And it's honestly, I kind of wish you hadn't told me that because it does change my view of you. Sorry, not sorry. And the fact that you're not sorry about it is what's, I think, most alarming. Cry about it.
Starting point is 00:48:34 I might actually. This is very disturbing to find something out about my best friend like that. Boo hoo, boo hoo, boo hoo. And the fact that you're treating this as some sort of joke. Stop. Stop doing the. What am I doing? What am I doing?
Starting point is 00:48:43 A baby crying motion. What is that? What does that even look like? It's ear going like wah wah. What is that motion even look like? You stuck your bottom lip out. Yeah you're doing it right now. Stop. And he's pretending to cry like a little baby. Don't do that man. Maybe you're just looking in the
Starting point is 00:48:57 mirror. Fucking hell man. When's it gonna stop? When's it gonna fucking stop? Who's calling me? I'm getting a call from your sister. Malibu, California. I'm going to answer this. Sorry, guys. That was a call about a... I have AIDS.
Starting point is 00:49:14 That's basically it, just to put it in layman's terms. Not a big deal, though. Not anymore. It's perfectly treatable now. Yeah. There's no reason anyone should be terrified of the disease. No one should be scared of AIDS. But you should definitely be upset if someone doesn't tell you they have it and you have relations with them.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Why? Because it's fucked up. It's like if you... But yeah, but if it's perfectly treatable, then why does it matter? Like if you have an ST... Well, gonorrhea is treatable, but I don't think you would want to... Go get checked. That's all. I just want to okay just because some of the gags we do on super mega might have transmitted the aids from your mouth you know what gags i'm talking about oh
Starting point is 00:49:59 the ones that yeah yeah yeah i know i know i know i know what you're talking about yes you don't have to fucking yes thank you good check though um yeah well i i've i've been having a a nice little week i went i saw chapo trap house live last night very very funny fellas they're the patreon kings i think they have about the top patreon out there i've just been trying to knock movies down on my watch list yeah you've been watching hella movies man yeah what are you at on a letterbox go check out ryan's letterbox account he reviews oh yeah every fucking movie he's ever seen well i i i've i've tried to collect all the movies i've ever seen there's some of course that i'm missing because they either have escaped my mind or i need to go through a list and find it it's it's on there damn i i tried to rate every movie to my recollection of like what i thought of it at the time.
Starting point is 00:50:47 And the thing is, those ratings can change if I rewatch it and my opinion changes type of thing. But I do. I started a little diary because I thought it would be nice starting in 2020. A little diary? What are you, a five-year-old girl? Well, it's called a diary in the app. And you can keep track of all the movies you've seen. Right about the boys you have crushes on?
Starting point is 00:51:01 All the movies you've seen throughout the year. And I thought it was pretty nice that I can look back and say that I saw a double feature of 1917 and Delta Farce on the 1st of January with my friend Matt. That is very sweet. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been mean about that, but, wait, I want to play a game.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Okay, first of all, when I saw that you had done that many movies, I was astonished. Because I want toished I was like I can't keep track of everything I've ever watched and then have a long list like for this is the ratings are for me personally yeah and if I like if I was at gunpoint
Starting point is 00:51:33 and someone gave me a pen and paper and was like write down a thousand you go through all the lists that you like you can make lists and just go through it and that's how I added a lot of the movies I'm like I remember that I watched that oh so you didn't just like think of each movie off the top no through it and that's how I added a lot of the movies I'm like I remember that I watched that oh so you didn't just think of each movie off the top of your head
Starting point is 00:51:48 okay that's what I thought you did and I was like you're a machine dude so can I name a movie and see if it's on there Rugrats in Paris uh hold on Rugrats in Paris it is on there so you already reviewed it well I rated it yes
Starting point is 00:52:04 fuck man I'm gonna give you a real obscure one Ferris. It is on there. So you already reviewed it? Yeah. Well, I rated it. Yes. You rated it. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck, man. I'm gonna give you a real obscure one. Okay. Hold on. Let me think. Did you ever watch Meet Dave? The Eddie Murphy movie where there's a bunch of little.
Starting point is 00:52:16 No. Damn it. I saw bits and pieces. Norbit. Is Norbit on there? Of course Norbit's on there. Good. Good.
Starting point is 00:52:21 What'd you give Norbit? You're not gonna like what I gave Norbit. It's your opinion. I gave it a star. here's the thing here's the thing like when I rate something even half a star to a star like that doesn't mean that I can't like I like I personally enjoy sometimes like really shitty movies but like I would never recommend these like I wouldn't recommend to the average person like it being realistic like I think Delta farce is hilarious, but I think it's because of the environment I grew up with. And it's also because of our humor.
Starting point is 00:52:49 We connect with it because it's just stupid, funny, not, not that we actually think the comedy is funny, but we think that the, the, the, the gay panic comedy is really funny.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Yes. It's hilarious. But like, I would never recommend that to like my friends to be like, Oh my God, dude, you should, you should watch Delta farce. It's actually pretty funny, like i would i wouldn't do that i enjoy it in my own
Starting point is 00:53:08 right that's a movie where you get high with your friends and watch it because of how bad it is that's not like a legitimate when you saw in theaters too right oh yeah and people i love that you saw that in theater wasn't it for your birthday yeah i think so i think my dad took me for my you always every time like shark boy and lava girl i saw for my birthday i saw that click for my birthday i saw saw Click for my birthday. I saw it in theaters with my dad. My dad fell asleep. I remember looking over, he was asleep
Starting point is 00:53:27 with his little cardboard 3D glasses on. Yeah, but if y'all want to follow my letterbox, it's just Eli Rye McGee. Same as my Twitter handle, Eli Rye McGee. And, yeah, I mean, the only thing I will preface is that I first, like, the way I rate things are more for me personally, so I can keep track of movies that stood out to me and that I first, like the way I rate things are more for me personally so I can keep track of movies that stood out to me and that I
Starting point is 00:53:48 would like go back and watch or that I really enjoy. I guess that's what everyone's personal rating is so two is not a horrible score. Neither is three. I was, I'm actually curious about this. Okay. I saw how you were rating movies and I had some
Starting point is 00:54:03 discussion with Jackson in the car about your rating system uh because i i think most people would be like two stars is a really bad score can you can you explain your rating system so my rating system is like anything like just kind of like mediocre or bad i will give so you're very sparing with fives though i will give yes i will give like a one or a half star like half star is essentially like i don't i would not recommend this at all and one star is like can you give zero stars no otherwise so half half is half is the worst but uh and then two stars like there are more positives than negatives you know in this movie but for me i didn't gel with it and
Starting point is 00:54:41 so like i wasn't like excited or i wasn't like totally entranced by the experience. So three stars is pretty good then. Then, yeah, three is like a lot of like three or movies that I want. Once you hit three, that's like a definite recommendation. I would recommend someone watch that because I enjoyed it or I thought it was good technically. And that meant more to me than like, I don't know. It's just and then four are like great movies to me, like really great movies that stood out.
Starting point is 00:55:08 And then fives are just kind of like my personal bag of, I could watch this over and over and over again. And I think they're, and I also think they're amazing. And they're not in any way a guilty pleasure. I agreed with almost all your fives, I think. I remember I was out at dinner and I was looking through your letterbox and I was like. And a part of my five system thing is is like four four and four and a halves can turn to fives upon rewatches but it's not a few movies right off the gate will i give a five
Starting point is 00:55:37 because i i i want to rewatch it because with parasite at first it was probably like like i loved it i loved it 100 but then upon rewatch probably like I loved it. I loved it 100% but then upon rewatch it made me love it more and solidify like everything. My opinions about it. Zero Dark Thirty. I never saw it. Oh you didn't see Zero Dark Thirty? No. I guess someone's on American.
Starting point is 00:55:57 Did you see American Sniper? I did. Did you review it? Uh oh. Did I rate it? Uh oh. Hold on let's see. Ryan you know anything below a four is gonna it is not patriotic people are gonna hate my review like my rating for it oh i gave it two stars two stars yeah i thought it was like so on par with norbit no norbit nor so you're saying a story about one of the greatest american heroes of our time is just is just the same as eddie murphy's norbit well they fucking bullshit a lot of,
Starting point is 00:56:26 a lot of shit in the movie too. And the movie, and the movie is kind of like your typical, just kind of like war movie, not typical war. Clint Eastwood, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:56:35 It's Clint Eastwood. Clint Eastwood does good work. He pulled his support for Donald Trump. And I gave it to my blue. I gave Norbit one star. Thank you very much. Oh, I thought you gave it to no way.
Starting point is 00:56:45 So it's just, it's a little bit better than Norbit. Yeah. No, it's definitely better than Norbit, but Norbit is also like. Norbit's a good fuck. Did you, okay, Mike. I'm a huge fan of Norbit. Otherwise, sorry, I'm a huge fan of Eddie Murphy. Otherwise, maybe Norbit would have been a half star. But I still think Eddie Murphy is an entertaining man.
Starting point is 00:57:06 Eddie Murphy is fantastic. But let me let me actually let me show you something real quick. I might have told you this before. OK, Brian Wilson. Brian Wilson, who is the the the lead singer of the Beach Boys. OK. Has stated on record many times that his favorite movie is norbit huh interesting so like when you watch norbit just be like yeah the the beach boys like
Starting point is 00:57:32 the singer of the beach boys i don't like when i a part of me also feels a bit sad that i didn't keep the letterbox private and just like to myself I get that because the moment I think people really enjoy it though the moment I like made it public there were like some messages where it's just like like I won't get anyone on why they rated a movie
Starting point is 00:57:57 a certain rating because that's their personal opinion. It's an opinion you can't get mad about it. But like people started getting upset with me about. Well, when we have Fantano on the podcast, you can talk to him about that because he's kind of the king of because people would always attack him and shake for rating he gave. And I disagree with a lot of Anthony
Starting point is 00:58:13 Fantano's reviews. Yeah. I mean, there's some like people like we're like, I'll see the review and I'm just like, I disagree with it. But like, I can't I can't change the way they saw it about it. Yeah, it's it's it's just like their view let me read this real quick of Norbit his review of Norbit interviewer
Starting point is 00:58:30 says have you seen any good movies lately and uh Brian Wilson says well I've only seen one in the last couple of years it's called Norbit by Eddie Murphy how did you like it fantastic movie very funny so what's your favorite movie?
Starting point is 00:58:46 Norbit. Beach Boys. His favorite movie is Norbit. I fucking love it. Terry Crews is in Norbit, isn't he? Yeah, he plays the big, the older brother. Yeah. And I remember.
Starting point is 00:59:00 Maybe. I hope we're not mixing. No, no, no. Because he's like the construction worker, right? Michael, what's his name? I'm pretty sure it's Terry Crews. I think it's Terry Crews. I don't remember a lot about that movie, but I do remember there's a part where
Starting point is 00:59:11 he asks for the breasts of the chicken and they put it on his plate and it just looks like tits. And I remember that part was always made me like, it's not a bad movie. It's not a horrible. I need to rewatch. I mean, it's a bad movie. It's a bad movie, yes, but it's kind of like a guilty pleasure. Norbit's a very lovable character. He's got a horrible i need to re-watch i mean it's a bad movie it's a bad movie yes but it's it's kind of like a guilty pleasure norbit's a very lovable character he's got a lot of heart to him i just like it it just movies like that it's like a forest early 2000s and like norbit
Starting point is 00:59:37 is not going to be made today or it couldn't be financed today and released like you know it couldn't be a wide release you know and like for eddie murphy being behind it was just interesting especially with meet dave but he's apparently he's coming back dude i remember norbit i remember the water slide scene they so what they did was uh because eddie murphy plays the yes, right? Uh-huh. But they used an actually large woman to – and they put his face over it. 9% on Rotten Tomatoes. But Google users said 91% liked this movie. While Rotten Tomatoes says 9%. Metacritic, 27.
Starting point is 01:00:21 IMDb, 4 out of 10. I mean, there are movies that, like, I movies that I believe one can like that are bad. You know? I mean, yeah, you can like any movie you want. It's always your... Cuba Gooding Jr.'s in Norbit? What? I forgot.
Starting point is 01:00:39 Cat Williams? That's a pretty big... Is the Nutty Professor just like does eddie murphy just like dressing up as fat people you know oh my god i can't but dude i'll go back and i'll like tweak things just because it's like there's so much to keep track of i was like how did i not how have i not had kangaroo jack on my liked movies list it's not I just liked it because in my head I was like I have to like I was thinking of like oh yeah
Starting point is 01:01:12 have you written a review for it or just rated it no that's deserving a review maybe if I rewatch it I think I'm just going to review I'm not going to go back and review all of this shit what'd you give it I mean you're not going to like what I gave it I think so hold on you give it a two?
Starting point is 01:01:26 I think so. Hold on. It's definitely a two movie for me. I can agree with a two on that one. Okay. Yeah, I gave it two. I don't believe it's worthy. Like, if we're talking about cinema, I don't believe it's worthy of anything higher than that. My reviews are kind of like a mix of what i think of it as a film and what i felt while watching it like because i can think something like you know you you can look at
Starting point is 01:01:51 something and objectively say that is well made but then it just didn't click with you yeah and i feel like it's like classical music for example i'm not a big fan of classical music i've never liked it but like it's it's beautiful objectively it's it's i think big to like the how intricate it is and and the laws of music that go into it and uh how complicated it is like objectively it's you can say that it's very good music it's good yeah i don't like it though i don't find so like if you were to rate like a classical album you would kind of like if you thought like they were talented and they did everything good, the productions there, you wouldn't still give it just like a one star because you because you don't like classical music. I feel like if you were to rate a classical album, you'd still like have to be like, OK, I'd give it like a two or three, which is interesting, which makes me almost wish there was like a review system where you could preview both, right?
Starting point is 01:02:46 Yeah. Like how you felt about it, but then how you see it really is. Yeah. You know? But I think it's best to kind of mix the two. Yeah. Because then it's a more personal kind of explanation of things. Because sometimes, you know, you don't like a movie and then you go and rewatch it and you'll be like, OK, that's why I didn't like it.
Starting point is 01:03:05 Because you're because when you're seeing a movie for the first time, you're just kind of taking in all the all this new information. Same with like Parasite. I remember the first time I watched it was crazy. But then once you know it, you can come back. Yeah, you can come back and be like, oh, that's interesting. I like that. I really I wish there was like a letterbox for music. I'd love to do that there's um there's i've been listening to i've listened to him forever but i've been listening to a lot of home shake recently because he um i've just been listening like through his his album discography yeah because i've i've i've listened for i wonder why there isn't that for music yeah and then if you could link your spotify you could instantly play oh that'd be
Starting point is 01:03:42 sick looks like we might have to make that. Don't steal our ideas, computer science majors. But, uh, but thank, uh, yeah. Yeah. I just, this is the end of, I want this to be the end of the Letterboxd conversation.
Starting point is 01:03:54 I prefer to keep going. I'm sorry. Hey, but I, I, I review things like pretty much every week multiple times usually. So Ryan, Ryan's been seeing hell.
Starting point is 01:04:03 I enjoy it. It's, it's like, I think it's my favorite. I did review house. We it's my favorite i did review how we haven't talked about house oh we didn't house who we uh do you know what i gave house what'd you give house what do you think i gave house three i gave it four stars four you gave it a four good i loved it i fucking okay so matt oh no i spilled you spilled your fucking drink on the carpet of all places. I know. So Matt invited me to go see House because I've never seen it.
Starting point is 01:04:30 On its original 35 millimeter. And I, sorry, I'm cleaning while I'm talking. I never have seen it. And I don't know. I don't know what it is about my taste, but I usually don't like movies that are kind of a trashy campy, I guess. Like you think of like evil dead or brain dead. Like I think they're somewhat fun,
Starting point is 01:04:50 but like, I don't personally like them. Yeah. This one, I think that had this extra element and the editing. Wild. Is, is not only wild,
Starting point is 01:05:00 but just the editing of how they edited the scenes together is, is I don't want to say genius but it is it is i would say it's so ahead of its time comedically so like where it's like you could be watching this and like i would think that this is a youtube is like some dude who made a comedic youtube video using an old horror movie but it's it is its own movie uh for those who don't know it's a it's a japanese horror movie from the 70s it's not even really a horror movie it's it is its own movie uh for those who don't know it's a it's a japanese horror movie from the 70s it's not even really a horror movie it's well it is but it's it's a horror comedy it's a horror comedy yeah and it's it's the acting and the but not like scary movie hori hori comedy
Starting point is 01:05:36 horror comedy well there's breast in it i guess you could say it's a hori it's fantastic though it's on the criterion collection i recommend everyone go watch it it is it is it's weird it is i i say it's it's so fucking good i'm glad because i enjoyed it uh the tucker bros showed it to me uh back in like 2017 you were sitting next to me i was laughing a good bit yeah you were and and i was very other people were laughing in the theater too much they were laughing a little bit too much i agreed but uh i was very excited for you to see because i didn't know what you'd think and and at the end you turn me and you're like i fucking love that dude i'm glad you liked it man it was so good it was so i'm glad that was my first experience with it too i want to watch it i want to watch it again like just
Starting point is 01:06:15 because it's it's one of those things where like if if if you're gonna judge everything like it's like citizen kane of course it's not you're not gonna think the story's there compared to but like for me like as a movie and what it showed
Starting point is 01:06:30 like it it had a vision and I and from what I could see it executed that vision perfectly can I be honest what I never really cared for Citizen Kane
Starting point is 01:06:39 I don't like Citizen Kane I think I don't I think I gave it a very bad review it's just one of those movies where it's like oh this is the movie and then I watch it and I'm like yeah It's just one of those movies where it's like, oh, this is the movie.
Starting point is 01:06:46 And then I watch it and I'm like, yeah, maybe for like the 30s or whenever it came out. I'm like that even with, let me. Rosebud. Hold on, I'm going to look. Like it's not a bad movie, but. No, I mean, it's important. I'm not interested in it. I don't have any interest.
Starting point is 01:07:01 I watched it in high school and I was just like, okay. I gave it two and a half stars. Okay. I don't know. interest. I watched it in high school and I was just like, okay. I gave it two and a half stars. Okay. But yet Norbit. It's a great movie. Citizen Kane is great for what it is. And it's just like one of those. Maybe it's the genre I'm not particularly keen to.
Starting point is 01:07:19 There's a lot of movies I feel bad for not liking. And I'll look up the general reviews and I'll be like, fuck, maybe I'm just, it could just because I'm, I'm not getting it. I'm stupid. I could,
Starting point is 01:07:30 I, and I don't want to piss off any film bros. Cause I'm sure that by me saying Citizen Kane is boring, that, that is boring. I raised the blood pressure of quite a few individuals out there. That's just my opinion of it. And you know,
Starting point is 01:07:41 I'm proud. I could be fine movie. I just, I, I don't think I'll ever watch it again unless I'm older. I'll be like, was it, was it boring? And then I'll watch it and you know i'm probably it's a fine movie i just i i don't think i'll ever watch it again unless i'm older i'll be like was it was it boring and then i'll watch it and be like yes i started watching a song of the south interesting watch matt um i've never i've never seen it all the way through well it's it's locked up in disney's vault and and one night uh i was at
Starting point is 01:08:01 home we were drinking we're like talking about how ridiculous that movie is. And we're like, all right, let's see what this movie like really is about. So we put it on, watched about 45 minutes and turned it off. It's boring. It's really boring. It's like an actually just slow, boring movie with a lot of racism. I find a lot of racism. I find a lot of, a lot of racism. Older movies, just when they're kind of getting their feet off the ground
Starting point is 01:08:27 and stuff in terms of how they want cinema to be. I don't, I don't think I'm a fan of older movies too much. I'll watch them. Like,
Starting point is 01:08:34 there are a lot of older movies that I love, but that, I think, harkens more to the kind of Buster Keaton realm
Starting point is 01:08:42 of older movies. Like, I like, I like, Keaton Jones? No. Buster, you know who Buster Keaton is. Yeah movies. Like I like, I like, Keaton Jones? No. Buster, you know who Buster Keaton is.
Starting point is 01:08:48 Yeah. You know who Keaton Jones is? No. Sorry. Remember the kid that got bullied and, No. Is it the kid online
Starting point is 01:08:56 who, who got a bunch of celebrities? Yeah. Keaton Jones. Is that Keaton Jones? Yeah, remember? He was like crying.
Starting point is 01:09:01 Is that Keaton Jones? And everyone was making fun of him the way he looked. Is that Keaton Jones? That's Keaton Jones, bro. Is it? Look up Keaton keaton jones man okay i'm looking up keaton jones on what that little what that little dude's up to these days oh that keaton i was thinking of the more recent guy oh that turned out he was like an adult and you're like and he's like flexing with like money and stuff and all those pictures i i think i i don't think it's a scam. I don't know. Keaton. I don't want to say anything.
Starting point is 01:09:26 Well, like Skeeton Jones. But what was I saying? Sorry, I didn't mean to derail you with with Keaton Jones talk. Fuck. You were talking about fucking hell, dude. You were talking about Buster Keaton era movies. Oh, like how in terms of like old movies movies like those movies are what impresses me because not only are they fun to watch they're they're entertaining they they have a plot you can follow
Starting point is 01:09:52 but like technically it's impressive of like what he did it's like that watching that is kind of like watching old school jackass and i know that that's weird like oh compare the jackass stunts to buster but buster keaton was doing all this crazy shit for real like he could have died he's got seriously injured doing these stunts three stooges actually i mean not comparable but three stooges uh is also entertained got really hurt on a lot of occasions like like broken ribs but still kept shooting like the same shot like i watched a compilation of like times they actually got hurt um and there's like one where he falls off a fucking ladder and like breaks his ribs but like keeps the keeps going and i'm like damn um song of the south i think it's funny how you know
Starting point is 01:10:35 disney locked it away for obvious reasons yet it's one of their most popular rides is based on it and is still because i remember as a kid going on uh splash mountain and uh being like i don't know these characters like who are these characters and then you see them in song of the south and then uh also zippity like right when you walk into disney it's they play zippity-doo-dah in the magic kingdom and it's like that's also from song of the south so it's like they locked it it away, but it was prominent at the parks. Interesting. They should remake Song of the South.
Starting point is 01:11:08 No. Reparations version. You know? Sorry. Do we even talk about the Oscars yet? Is this the first podcast we've recorded since my ass surgery? Yes, it is. Oh. We haven't recorded a podcast in a while because we backlogged them because I was having surgery.
Starting point is 01:11:27 Okay. My ass is better now. I'm all good. Real quick. Hoorah for Parasite. Yes. Thank God. Fucking well earned.
Starting point is 01:11:34 We were all ecstatic when that happened. We jumped up. We were screaming. Well, that's Super Mega's reaction to Bong Joon-ho. What? I always called him Bong Joon-ho. What? I always called him Bong Joon-ho. Bong-hole? From South Korea?
Starting point is 01:11:50 What the hell was that? Give me more Gone with the Wind. Gone with the Wind. The first half of American History X. Great movies. I don't even think Trump saw Parasite. I don't even think he saw most of the movies that came out this year.
Starting point is 01:12:04 I don't think he watches movies. I highly doubt Trump watches movies. Unless they somewhat have to do with him, probably. What's with this South Korean director coming in and making movies, huh? What the hell is that? Apparently, he had a movie on Netflix. So, he started becoming popular in the Western eye, both due to how fucking epic his movies are and in tone
Starting point is 01:12:34 and how different and weird they are. And also through help of other directors acclaimed that are American. That's weird. My favorite part was just like, how about Gone with the Wind? And everyone's like, what? You know, like most of those people probably have seen Gone with the Wind once in their elementary school
Starting point is 01:12:51 class. That's when I watched it. It was when I was a little kid. It's like three hours, isn't it? Yeah, the only time I watched Sound of Music was in the music class. And I never, I just don't take a liking to like Mary Poppins Sound of Music type of shit. No, I'm like Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I'm not really into that shit. It's not my thing.
Starting point is 01:13:07 It's whimsical. Like, yes, but it's not, it doesn't, it doesn't win me away. But like, here's the thing. I do enjoy Wizard of Oz. I like watching Wizard of Oz. Wizard of Oz is very, is a lot more of a story, I think, than like Mary Poppins.
Starting point is 01:13:20 It's in a mystical land and there's a talking lion and a tin man. I was scared of that movie for a while. I was like, the wizard. Is the lion scary? The Tin Man looks scary. Tin Man is freaky. Then when you like the rumors of the munchkin who hung himself.
Starting point is 01:13:34 Oh, yeah. Yeah. That's classic. Is the Tin Man like gay? Is that like confirmed? I don't know. Because for some reason, I just have this thing in my head. Like, it's always been like the Tin Man's gay.
Starting point is 01:13:42 I always thought the scarecrow would be more gay than the Tin Man. Oh, you know why I think that? Because there was a family guy gag about the tin man's gay i always thought the scarecrow would be more gay than the tin oh you know why i think that because there was a family guy gag about it about the tin man being gay and i guess that just like worked its way deep into my brain the actor was gay and family guy was just making fun of the gay actor i don't know uh i could see family guy well like well it's i hope i hope his estate doesn't sue me i am not gay well he's dead the guy who played the tin man he's he's dead i searched tin Man gay and a bunch of Korean videos came up. I'm going to look up Scarecrow gay. Oh, I'll look up Family Guy Tin Man.
Starting point is 01:14:13 Because that should definitely get this up, get the results I'm looking for. I just got this. Monsters made me gay. Scarecrow gangbang Hank Wilder. Dude, yo, we need to read that if that's a book. Sorry, I'm going through a compilation of Family Guy Wizard of Oz bits. I'm just trying to, real quick. I didn't imagine this.
Starting point is 01:14:39 What? The gay Tin Man thing. I can't find the clip online. Was it not like robot chicken no it was definitely family guy uh I'm serious hold on Jackson
Starting point is 01:14:54 we watched a lot of family cause like it ends with like the tin man in bed with another man and he's like like something he says some line about being like well oiled or something hold on a second this is important jackson damn dude hour 17 very important question. Hold on.
Starting point is 01:15:25 I'm getting Jackson here to answer this. Jackson. Yeah. You've watched a lot of Family Guy as well. And I remember a bit, a specific bit that I can't find any evidence on online. And I want you to know if you remember this too. It's a bit about the tin man being gay. And he's like in bed with a man.
Starting point is 01:15:43 And he makes a comment about like being well-oiled or something that sounds so familiar like I didn't imagine that people in the comments please people always make jokes about the Tin Man was gay okay it wasn't an original bit wait wait so I mean I just brought up you looked up Tin Man gay but you couldn't find anything I thought he was something deep-rooted in my head was like oh the Tin Man the Mandela effect is this the Mandela effect joke on the rest of development too and like a few other things let me see was the Tin Man gay was the Tin Man gay in Family Guy
Starting point is 01:16:12 yeah right here Family Guy Tin Man no no see there's several Tin Man bits and I watched a compilation of them but none of them were the gay one let me Google it.
