Did you eat anything today? Uh, no. Not at all. Have you? Uh, yeah. I had a, uh... Do we have any more sparkling water in the fridge? We have non-flavored sparkling water.

If you just want bland sipping drink. I do need a sipping drink. See, this sparkling water is just how I stay. This is Armenian sparkling water, actually. Okay. Well, welcome, everybody. Welcome. This is episode 186 of the Super Mega Cast. 187. And any updates on your life, dude? Well, we've been stuck in quarantine. Any updates on your life, dude? Well, we've been stuck in quarantine.

And here's something fascinating. I believe on the last episode, we found out mid-episode that coronavirus cases in the United States had passed 100,000. Since then, they've tripled. It's now over 300,000. So y'all better start wearing a damn mask and staying indoors. And the peak is apparently going to hit mid-April. That's what I've heard. Really?

The peak in the United States. They're looking at potentially, this is what I've read and heard. It could be wrong. Do not listen. But like, look it up for yourself to see if I am correct and make your own judgments. But I've heard that the peak in America could be something of like 4,000 deaths, something like that in a day. 4,000 deaths in a day? Jesus Christ

that's really scary yeah I mean the numbers but that's not like that's not like every day of May it's like at the few days at the peak I feel that's what they've said Vox did a really good video about a lot of people

my dad included compare it to the flu. And they're like, oh, it's just, you know, the flu kills more people. And it was a really good video kind of breaking down like why it's not the same as the flu. It's a different type of virus than the flu, too. Yeah. Well, not even just the fact that it's like a different type of virus, just but it showed a bunch of like statistics on why it's different, where basically the flu, when you get sick, like when you catch it, usually within two days is when, you know, like you show symptoms. That's like a pretty long time.

And then once you realize that, then you quarantine yourself. So you don't give it to other people. But with coronavirus, you have up to 12 days where you don't know you have it, but you're spreading symptoms. So basically, and then you quarantine yourself. So it's like for the flu and coronavirus, those are flipped with each other. Does that make sense? So that's why it's so bad because it can be spread, like not like the flu, it can be spread for so long because you don't know you have it do you think there's a potential that you know because earlier a few episodes ago i was talking about i think i made the you

scratching no you got some crust yeah what is that kind of your gooch area it feels like uh i was i was feeling my gooch area you started scratching vigorously and then it's so i took what is it did i sit on something i don't know looks like you sat on a booger or something. No, it feels like... I know what it is. I was eating a breakfast wrap in the car. Is that egg juice? And some eggs fell out. Okay. And I believe that I probably sat on it. Okay. Sorry, continue. I was talking about

how a few episodes ago how we were talking about masks specifically and how the culture in the United States doesn't... It's not like Japan. So to wear masks in the United States, it's not as it wasn't as, uh, it wasn't achieving as much as, uh, countries like Japan or, or South Korea who use them on a day-to-day basis, even for something like the common cold, or if they have sniffles or some people just use them for every day,

like kind of something to deter germs in general. Yeah. And so what I'm thinking is now that masks are being more prominent in the U.S., like I'm seeing it a lot more. Will we develop a mask culture because of this? Like after after all this is over, I feel like do you think Americans will be like, OK, well, it's done. Throw away your mask.

Do you think we'll see videos of people burning their end like 95 mask? Like it's done. Throw away your mask. Do you think we'll see videos of people burning their N95 mask? Being like, it's done. We beat the virus. I could see that as a real possibility. Shooting it with shotguns. Lining up your masks and shooting them with a shotgun. We should do that on Super Mega. But yeah, if you don't have a mask mask,

you can wrap a t-shirt around your face. You can do anything. Just make sure you're covering your nose and your mouth. And put on some swimming goggles if you want to. Yeah, that's very, very useful. I've seen a lot of people doing that. I think wearing flippers helps as well. I hope there's not one poor soul out there that fully takes that seriously and starts wearing swimming goggles out in public and stuff.

Look, all because you've said that. Well, technically, if they're wearing swimming goggles, that's protection. That's protection. It is. You can't. Don't go. If you wear swimming goggles, don't get the tinted ones because it's going to be a bit hard to see. Yeah.

Unless. Well, get an extra pair of the tinted ones for if you're driving and the sun is out. No, no, no. Think about when the sun is setting and you're driving. Have you ever been driving down Sunset Boulevard when the sun is setting? Get little caps where you can, like, you know how dads have those sunglass glasses? Brian, not everyone has, you know, the privilege of access to nice swimming goggles like that. Yeah, true.

That's why you just got to get a pair of the regular and a pair of the tinted. So when you're driving and the sun starts beaming in your eyes, you can flip them out. Change them out. Yeah, the moral of the story is be responsible in public, because we're not talking about you being responsible for yourself, we're talking about you being responsible for the people in your community that could potentially have health complications and ultimately die because of this. If my grandma dies because one of you fuckers goes to Walmart and sneezes on her.

I'm so mad with my family right now, dude. And I hope my mom listens to this. You're mad with your family? I'm mad at my family, yeah. My mom's side. You want to talk about it? I mean, my mom will hear this. So, yeah, it's just going to be another nail in the coffin of, hey, mom, listen.

They're still letting my Oma go to, like like walmart like but they're like it's a special senior hour and i'm like i don't care if it's a special senior hour that's like a a hub for germs you want to go to like don't go to fucking walmart in the middle of a pandemic with my grandmother that's a bad idea that's a real bad. She says they're getting better about it because they used to just take her to the grocery store. I'm like, is she wearing a mask and gloves? My mom's like, I think she is going to start to.

And I'm like, zip tie her hands to the bed frame. That's what it's going to come down to. It's for her own good. Look, my Oma is a very healthy woman. She still has a lot of wonderful years left that I can spend with her and I can eat her food. And she can tell me stories from back in the day.

You just made a me eating her out motion with your hand. I'm just putting that on record. That will not happen. How many times a day you cranking it right now uh a good bit a good bit a good bit i i can come up with a number i can't just go out and take a walk i can't like i just i'll play video games i'll watch a movie like i will go out and take a walk but i can't go out to like venice beach and people watch i've been i've been doing uh little walks mainly late at night uh just like I'll put on a mask, go for a walk,

just because it's like I need to get out, and it feels good to take a little walk. I feel like I'm going to go crazy if I don't start taking walks every day. My days have become nothing but like watching, like having a podcast or a YouTube video playing as I'm, no, not this podcast, as I'm playing uh a video game and then I'll go and smoke some weed and then somewhere in between that I'll have masturbated five or six times it is uh it's just I'm not going like I don't want to say stir crazy if anything I'm going

crazy because of I'm constantly looking at my phone of news updates. And the fact that these updates aren't really substantial in terms of getting to know what's... Yeah. It's like, oh, yeah. When you know that nothing's in there. It's a perfect analogy for what's going on. Because what I'll do is I don't have... I really don't have any snacks in my place right now.

And it'll be like 11.30 at night and I'll be so hungry and I'll go in the kitchen and i'll be like oh i've already checked the fridge four times in the last hour but maybe this time when i open it i'll notice something i didn't notice before and i'll like open it and like look all through the fridge like nope still nothing and then 20 minutes later i'll be like i'm hungry i'm gonna go look at the fridge that's why they gotta make clear fridges man yeah no they shouldn't for that'd be nasty. I'm surviving on mainly, I'd say, three foods. I'm surviving on... It's one of them cheese. A cheese and mayo sandwich.

Tuna? I haven't eaten tuna yet. I'm saving it. Okay, wait. But it's cheating because two of them are two different types of sandwiches. Cheese and mayo sandwich? Yeah. PB&J?

Yep. And then the third food you're surviving on, this should be easy because is it Orion food? It's, I mean, I've been on a kick and it's easy to make. Lunchables? No. Hot pockets? No. Uh, is it frozen and you heat it up? Uh, refrigerated and you heat it up? No, it's not a meal like that. It's an easy to make meal. Beans? No. Is it canned? That I've been very obsessed with making

and I've probably made it once every week. Rondon? Yes. Okay. Because it's so easy. I just get steak and noodles and it's filling. It is really good. It's not good for me.

But the caloric intake is high. Oh, yeah. Dingoric intake is high. But I've been, oh yeah. Oh yeah, she has news. Ding, ding, ding. I said I was starting to try to get healthy watching what I eat. I still eat shit sometimes, but I watch the amount that I'm putting into my gullet. And I still need to make exercise a more prominent part of my kind of weekly life.

But I have hit 200 pounds. So I've hit that 200 pound mark, which is kind of like the first goal. Yeah. Now I need to keep working at it. But I started at like 220. Dude, that's big progress, 20 pounds. Yeah, but it took me longer than it last time

when I lost weight. And isn't your ultimate goal 180? Yeah, but it took me longer than it last time when I lost weight. And isn't your ultimate goal 180? Yeah, around there. So, you're halfway there. Halfway there! How? I stubbed my toe on the stairs. Dude, here's something the quarantine has opened my eyes to.

How gay you are? My eyes were partially open to that before the quarantine the quarantine has solidified that a little bit but i think what what i hate and it's so real and you can probably relate on this is when you first hear the idea of the quarantine you're like okay so i'm gonna have so much free time you know it's gonna be nice i'm gonna be able to do so much stuff and you don't you i sleep until 3 30 every day i i don't i skip my prozac half the day so i feel like shit let me tell you my sleep schedule right now okay i fall asleep this is my bedtime between 5 and 8 a.m and then i wake up in between 1 and 3 p.m just there's because our job we do we the way we're doing our

job is we come and do it for like 12 plus hours one day of the week so we're so we're really minimalizing the kind of us going out in general yeah uh but there's so much i want to be doing like like i i want to make live action shit this is supposed to be the year you and I are supposed to get back into making music videos and sketches and shit and now look what happened well you can still make music videos I'm not talented

in that way yes you are yeah in terms of like I don't know I feel like just like when I worked with Daniel I really like working in a duo situation. I like kind of the, what is it?

Energy. When you work together. The collaborative effort of a creative project of like being stuck and all of a sudden one of you comes up with something. All of a sudden the other person jumps in and you just start building. It's just like,'s it feels great. I like the rush of it. And when I'm alone, like I just don't have I don't have the music. I don't feel like I have the natural musical knowledge and skill to like make kind of music.

You not only have that, but you have a have a passion for it. I don't have a passion for music like you do. But then we talk about sketches. I don't have anyone that lives with me but lego dude you can like I have sketches with lego there's there's a part of me where like I've been in the shower and I've been like should I start making those one-man sketches like I see a lot like on twitter Gus but then yeah but then I'm like no I I'd make myself cringe doing that because like there's that whole thing where I don't have confidence in kind of me putting out. That's why I barely post on Twitter. Well, I feel like obviously you –

I just like being silent. You have a very low cringe tolerance where I think you're scared that you're going to be cringey. But every time I – tolerance where I think you're scared that you're going to be cringy but it's because I've been the cringe I've been a big I've been a source of cringe in my life you think you have and maybe to yourself it feels like that I go back and I look at some of the shit I made

but what I'm saying is I feel like my cringiness was a little more recent yours is like YouTube videos when you were a kid. Nah. Mine is like Vine videos I was making when I was in college. Dude, I still got cringy shit I was making in college. We got cringy shit we were making on Superman.

Everyone's got some cringe. You just got to keep going. Make some more cringe. I've been posting slightly more on Twitter. You have. I have your notifications on, so when you do it, I'm like, oh. Oh, there's a big story we haven't talked about. My first kind of big quarantine story.

My buddy David, the little possum. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So. I was like, who the fuck is David? I was out one night smoking a ciggy uh masturbating in my backyard as usual um i was i was standing mid-yard in a puddle because i like the way it makes my feet feel when i'm high um lego noticed something so i i put them inside and i go check and on this wall i see like kind of like this creature splayed out.

And first my head, like it goes, bat, rat, raccoon, bat, rat, raccoon, baby raccoon, baby possum, baby raccoon. And so like I go to you and I'm like, hey, check this out. It's this baby raccoon slash possum. And you saw it. It's this small little thing that can't really, like it's stuck. It's just kind of like stuck on the wall. And so then I just go back and I just kind of smoke of smoke i'm like i guess he'll just crawl away and as i'm smoking uh i hear this like this thud and i'm like what and so i go look he's not on the wall anymore and it's just kind of like laying on the ground i'm like oh no and so

i kind of get worried because i'm like this is young and i start checking the area and i'm like oh no and so I kind of get worried because I'm like this is young and I start checking the area and I'm like there's no mom so I wait for like 30 minutes no chirps from a mom because I know what like you know what possum chirps are in terms of like how they call it it kind of sounds yeah well it kind of sounds like a bird but if you look it up on YouTube like I did you kind of will listen out for it and I didn't see any other young possums. So I was talking to you and some of my friends. I even called Ross. And then I ended up calling a vet to see what I should do about this situation.

And I took their advice, which was to put it in a box with a towel, have some water, and have some, like, mushed up apple, whatever, in it, and then bring it to a rescue in the morning because it seems like it's an orphan possum. Was the cutest possum. I didn't think possums could be that cute. The pictures you sent me of that little guy, I was like... And you could see where it fell.

Yeah, you could see where he bumped his nose. It was a little bloody. He was the cutest fucking possum. He looked like a Pokemon or an Animal Crossing villager. I still have pictures. Dude, you got to share those pictures. That was on the video portion of the podcast? Should I throw them up?

Yeah, you know, I don't mean to give you more work, but if you feel like it, maybe... It would be like this picture. Oh, my God. Oh, he's so cute. Yeah. That's little David. Little David. And so then two hours pass, and I'm kind of...

It's like 5 a.m. I'm getting ready to actually head in and close my eyes and sleep and in the morning, you know, figure out what to do with David. But then all of a sudden Lego starts acting just as strange near this like kind of shed ish thing. It's not like a full shed. Yeah, I know. It's like a shitty it's like a large dog. It's one of the places you go to masturbate yeah it's kind of like a large dog house but not built for a dog

it's built to store like cardboard boxes like a small man small shed i guess you could put a small man in there and so um i put lego inside and i take my flashlight and look and there's a full grown possum and i'm like that has to be potentially the mother I take the box outside I sit it upright the little one starts to chirp and then the possum underneath starts to chirp back

and then I tilt it they start chirping I step away then the little guy runs under the little mini shed and I found his mom that's so cute. So it was a nice little kind of sweet quarantine story. I know, you were texting me,

it was like 4 a.m. and you were freaking out. You're like, I don't know what to do. I get anxious because I never had to. You were like, should I not have

put him in the box? Should I just have let nature? You're like, I don't know what to do. Because in my head, I know it's cruel to think of, but when people are like, rescue orphaned possums,

I'm like, isn't that part of the wild where like coyotes and cats and other wildlife prey upon the young so they can sustain themselves like that? It's just part of the circle of life. And I'm thinking like, did I do the right thing by intervening? Because five minutes after I took him inside, there was this white house cat that was like patrolling that area where he was kind of because i didn't mention this i don't think but when he fell he stayed in the exact same place for like an hour yeah he probably was just so scared because that's their that's their fucking defense mechanism but like i'd go inside

wait 30 minutes come back out be like okay he hasn't moved a bit like he's alive and like looking around but i feel like he got disoriented from the fall potentially because he was when he went running to his mom he was like in the box he after he kind of had some time to rest he was very alert yeah but I found a duckling once that had been like abandoned by the rest of the pack and he was he was on the side of the pond I live near and I'd seen a lot of ducklings out with their mom it was that time of year But this one was by himself when he was like tweeting a bunch on his Twitter account and he and I was like oh fuck I think I gotta take him in but my parents wouldn't let me And then eventually the mom did come back. I saw really yeah and took him back, but I guess he just got lost He was a cute possum though, and when I went to that place

Where I got to touch the monkeys and stuff they had a possum that they brought out and talked about and they showed the possum off and they they said one uh some people that like take possums in as uh babies the problem is uh they can't be let back out because then they'll go up to humans and be too friendly and then people will freak out and call animal services and get them killed. Yeah, me and this guy weren't buddies, so I don't think I— He was cute, though. Yes.

I wish I could have pet him. Well, I shouldn't touch him, but I wish I could have seen him in person. Yeah. And I hope his nose is all healing. Speaking of animals, Wanda, our dove, she's— Still there. She's still there. She's sitting on—

Kind of surprised us today because we kind of forgot about Wanda. Yeah. And then we looked up and lo and behold, she's still sitting on her eggs. Sitting on her eggs or maybe her babies. Maybe they hatched already. Do they sit on their babies? Uh-huh. After they hatch?

Keep them warm, I guess. Yeah, keep them warm. Because they're all naked and gross looking. Yeah. I want to know if she has eggs in there or there's babies in there. Let's go pick her up and pull her out for a second and go look underneath and put her back she's cute though she just sits she looks so goddamn scared though every second we're out there she's like how are the how are you the three ladies back at your place my my orchid masses they are fantastic um angie has made it easier than ever to connect with skilled

I did it last, not last night. We had a movie marathon. Are we having one this week, right? Yeah, we are. With Joe Dirt. And what was the other one? We're doing Joe Dirt 1 and 2. No, we're had a movie marathon. Are we having one this week, right? Yeah, we are. With Joe Dirt. And what was the other one? We're doing Joe Dirt 1 and 2. No, we're doing a French movie.

Of course. To begin. But you know a French movie, right? No. It's by a Japanese director. Okay. By Oshima, I think. Here.

You've seen one scene from it. Huh? It's a dinner party. And they bring in a special guest. It's a dinner party. Is it the French version of dinner for schmucks? What it's like a Schmucks was a 70s French movie that was directed by really famous Japanese director. It's the one about the monkey What the woman that falls in love with the monkey I have not seen a scene from this movie

We said it. You told me about this. Remember, we're like, they're at a dinner party, and they have a pet, like, chimp, and they bring him in. Did you send me a clip? Yeah, yeah. It was in our group chat a long time ago. Well, I don't remember. Well, I'll have to.

But yeah, orchid mantises are good. A bit of a crisis because I had this culture of fruit flies that are, like, they can't't fly and that's what i was feeding them with um and they suddenly overnight all died or do they not eat like dead things mantises do they prefer no they won't eat anything that doesn't move so like well it's not even that they didn't die they're just like i i looked and because the day before there were hundreds of them in there and it's disgusting you saw the thing it's gross. It's just basically a plastic container full of garbage stuff and a million fruit flies. Yeah. And I have to open it and get them out to feed the mantises. But all of a sudden, they're all just like, we're going to check out.

So I got to get more. I think they passed their lifespan. Or they all got coronavirus. How long can mantises go without eating see that's the thing is I don't know but I'm making sure you can look it up on google well I don't know because I did different stages in their lives

too they only live for 8 months right yeah but I've been getting like while I'm waiting for the other stuff to come I'm getting like bugs from outside really yeah I mean it's easy to find little I'm getting like bugs from outside. Really? Yeah. What do you find? I mean, it's easy to find little tiny bugs outside, like in my garden. I mean, I can just drop one in and it'll

attack. They're so fast. I took one of them out last night and I had her on my hand and she jumped from one hand to the other. Just like... It was so cool. They're beautiful. They're... Well, I was trying to show you how they really like honey and you can give it to them as a treat and I tried to give one of them honey and it just attacked.

She's attacking on honey a little bit. She got really aggressive. I know. They are, the bigger they get, they're getting more aggressive now where I can't take them out as much because they start to jump. So like I'll be holding it and they'll just jump away like instantly and they're getting all feisty. So I got bigger containers for them, though. I got some new containers from this website.

And I put new dirt in there and new plants and stuff like that. So they're doing good. I need to post pictures. The problem is I haven't posted that many pictures because it's kind of hard to get a good picture of them. They're still pretty small. But it's just kind of hard to get a good picture. They camouflage so well. When they get big.

I saw a video of someone holding one of what they look like in about a month or two, and I can't wait. So they just grow fast. They'll get this big. I can't wait. Are there bigger enclosures, or are there new big ones, the ones that they're in? No, they can stay in these. It's said that all they need is a container two times as wide and three times as tall or something. Okay. Or something like that. So they don't need a a container like two times as wide and like three times as tall or something. Or something like that. So they don't need a huge

container and the one I have for them now should be good for several months. Maybe once they become like full adults I'll have to get a bigger one. But they'll only live in for like a month when they're full adults, right? Yeah, I think so. Or a few months at least. Yeah, but

I want to tell you about this so I've been really bored and um was it what you watched last night? yeah I had a friend over and they wanted to watch like trash TV so we put on America's Next Top Model season 4

and you know I've never watched America's Next Top Model except when my sister would watch it who's the main host? Tyra Banks I don host? Tyra Banks. I don't like Tyra Banks. Yeah, I don't really like her either. I don't like her kind of demeanor. Yeah, she seems a little holier than thou.

Yes. But I feel like a lot of the top model people do. Same when you watch cooking shows. A lot of the chefs that are judging are like, I have something to bring up on that tangent afterwards. Okay. judging are like i have something to bring up on that tangent afterwards okay but basically um started season four which is from 2005 and i watched four or five episodes and i don't like that show it's not up my alley and also you can tell like back in 2005 like they're so mean they're so like she's like i will i will like they'll be weighing the

girls and they're like oh and she's like i will lose the 10 pounds i will i promise i have to and like you're not watching uh bruno and just the the parents where it's like oh my god can your child lose 10 pounds in a week and she's like if she has the job then she's gonna do it you can't starve them you can't anyway, what happens is there is an. So in America's Next Top Model, every episode they have challenges, you know, where it's like in this episode models, you're going to. Just like any reality TV show. When you think of like even The Bachelor, even the new one on Netflix, which was The Circle. There's always challenges.

So I could not believe my eyes when 10 million fireflies lit up the world and I fell asleep. They go, alright models for today's challenge, you're going to be taking on different ethnicities. And I was like, no way. They go to this white girl like, Michelle, you're going to play

an African American woman. And they just put her in full blackface. What? And I was like screaming. I was watching. I was like, no way. They made everyone dress up. Like they made one girl Asian. Did you take pictures?

I did. I took pictures. They put a big Afro on her. And they bring in like a little black child for her to hold. Why did they do this? I was like, no way. No way. Here, I'll show you the pictures.

I got America's Next. Hold on. Because I was like, I thought I would have heard about this. Top model blackface. Look at this. And I, hold on. Let me try to find a, like, here we go. Like, here's a picture of them putting it on.

Jesus. They were, like, legit just putting them fully in blackface. And they gave her an afro. I took a picture of the girl in an afro. Hold on. Oh, my word. It was a campaign for Got Milk. Got Milk?

Yeah, they made one girl, like, Korean. They made one Native American. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They made her Indian. Did they actually use these in advertisements? Yeah, it was for Got Milk. That was only 15 years ago. Oh, my god.

Let me see, let me see. Jesus Christ. Dude, I was just freaking out. I was like, holy shit. I couldn't believe they were doing this. Oh, that's weird. That's so weird. And you could tell how much times have changed. They had a black model doing poses, and she looked perfectly fine.

And one of the guys was like Stop at the ghetto faces. It's like what ghetto faces? Yeah, they kept using they kept calling the girl ghetto like the black girl. She was mean muggin probably. No! She I couldn't tell what was up. She just looked normal and they were like, let's let's lose the ghetto faces I was like Jesus Christ Well, yeah, it was a wild show I don't know if I'm gonna watch more but after that I like, I kind of want to see what else they do on this show. What was the tangent with judges and judges?

Not judges. You said cooking show. Yeah, cooking shows. The new Cooking Mama game for Switch just came out. Did you buy it? No. Did you hear about what happened with it, though? No.

So I read about this briefly on Twitter, which you know is the best source for news and for things accurate. What I read is apparently it was only on the eStore for four hours before they pulled it because they found out that the developer – they had a different developer do this one, I think, and was secretly using the game to use people's switches to mine Bitcoin. Oh, my God. So they, so cooking mama was, was being used as like a cryptocurrency miner. So they pulled it off of the eShop. Um, cause I saw cooking mama was trending today. I was like, Oh, the new, uh, cooking mama's out. And I was just reading about it and it seems insane.

I didn't know, I didn't know cooking mama could be, could, could do such a. So how do you, how does it work? I don't know Cooking Mama could do such a... So how do you how does it work? I don't know how Bitcoin mining works. You know how it's like you have to use like different like computers have to like mine cryptocurrency somehow? Here. Cooking Ma... Nintendo Life posted this article. Cooking Mama. Cookstar pulled

from Switch eShop amid accusations of mining cryptocurrency. Developers deny claims. People have been speculating that the reason Cooking Mama Cookstar has been pulled from the eShops is due to the fact that it mines cryptocurrency using the processing power of the Switch owners who download it to their systems. When the game was first revealed, the

developers mentioned blockchain technology, a fact which has inspired these recent accusations. As the developers, we can say with certainty there is no cryptocurrency or data collection or blockchain or anything else shady in the code. The Nintendo Switch is a very safe platform with none of the data and privacy issues associated with some mobile and PC games. Huh.

Yeah, but they pulled it off at the eShop. There's no problem with it, but... I really... Hold on. Update two. We have worked with a user who has a physical copy and at first appearances confirmed the following. Game works offline. Game works without a linked account.

Works on a formatted console. Currency and blockchain appears removed. Huh. So that's something interesting to follow. I do want that game. I love Cooking Mama. Well, I mean, speaking of watching things, you and I need to talk, my man. Yeah, we do.

We need to have a bit of an intervention because – It's only been one week, Ryan. It's only been one week. For one, you still have yet to take a gross-ass bong hit of any – it was just going to be some sort of – Well, it's going to be mop water. But you're holding me back on that one. Okay.

So that's – I'm the back on that one okay so that's I'm the excuse for that one you still haven't masturbated to big mama's house too that was months ago man Ryan can I be honest

with you I think we were in the were we in the grumps office when we did that yeah dude can I just be up front with you and I've said this before

a fucking scene from big mama's house 2 to completion. That's your problem. You lost the odds are. Oh my god. Yeah, you're right. You're right. That is on me. And you have still yet to watch the three movies even though you had a week time to do so. Dude. Do we even, do we talk in the last podcast? No, we didn't talk about. Well,

we had an odds are. I think we might have talked about it in Animal Crossing. But we had an odds are, I think we might have talked about it in Animal Crossing, but we had an odds are where I asked Matt, what are the odds that you have to watch a three movie marathon of movies of my choice? We did talk about this. Okay, in the podcast. I remember. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just to catch people up.

You said two, you lost. So you had to watch three movies. The movies I chose were How to Save a Life Lord of the Rings and the Fellowship of the King Return of the King which is the last one which is three and a half hours and then Laquisha

so I'm just saying you gotta at least do one you gotta do one soon I feel like the movie marathon you you're going to have to. Movie marathon, now is a perfect time. I'm in quarantine. Tomorrow.

I called you and you just, and your words were, I just didn't feel like it today. I didn't, man. You can't blame. Yeah, okay. It's an odd job. But you're not supposed to feel like it. I know, I know, I know. It's supposed to be shitty.

Oh, hold up, hold up What? I have something to confront Justin on too Hold up In the next week, I promise By the next podcast By the next podcast I will have watched all three

Yeah? Gotta confront Justin Hello? Hey, Justin What's up? Just, um I'm having an intervention with Matt And I'm looping you in on this.

Wait, hold on, you just broke up. What's up? I said we're having an intervention, kind of, and I needed to clue you in on something. Okay. Have you watched that movie yet? Delgo? Yeah, Delgo. Have you watched Delgo yet?

No, I told you I'm watching it tonight. Promise? Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, okay, good. Because I was just getting on Matt for not watching the movies, and I know you haven't watched. I was making sure.

Does he know what I have to watch? Yeah, he knows what you, you know what Matt has to watch, right? What's next? Well, Matt, well, I mean, he still hasn't watched his movies. He has to watch them back to back. He hasn't watched any of them? He has to watch them back to back. He hasn't watched any of them? Nope. He has to watch them back to back.

It's a marathon. But he didn't do it. He had a week. If I remember, Justin. There's a sanctity to what are the odds where you have to follow through. I am following through. I'm going to do it. It's definitely been over a week for you too, Justin.

But I'm glad that you're doing it today. Tonight's the week deadline. Is it? Yeah, that's why it's tonight. Okay. Okay. Okay. Damn, he ain't going to come from behind that.

I'm sorry, Justin. I'm sorry. He's coming from behind, Justin. I'm just making sure you're watching it. You have to, like, you know. Well, Justin, at least you don't have to. I always wanted to see Delgo. Don't worry.

I'm excited. See, I'm excited to follow through. I'm excited to follow through to watch the movie that my friend played a Lord of the Odds with me for. But I understand that some people might not be as excited to do so. Well, Justin, I've never seen any Lord of the Rings movies, and I have to watch the final one, which is bordering four hours long. Okay. As the middle middle move doesn't that sound like his problem since he lost the odds are see i'm just trying to understand because if i'm being honest right now it just sounds like a little bitch on the phone but you said you were talking

to matt and i know matt's not a little bitch no matt isn't a little bitch. He's proven... He ate a cockroach live on camera. I've known Matt for three years now, and Matt's not a little bitch, is he? No. No, I'm not a little bitch. No, I don't believe Matt to be a little bitch either. No, I'm gonna sit my ass down. I'm gonna watch Loquisha.

I'm gonna watch Lord of the Rings, the final one, and I'm gonna watch the Stephen Crowder fucking... How to save a life. The school shooting Christian movie. He doesn't shoot anyone in the school. He just shoots himself. Oh, spoilers, dude. I'm sorry.

Really? It happens in the- I thought there was going to be some action. It happens in the very beginning. I'm sorry. Damn, dude. I thought there was going to be some crazy school shooting scene. It's in the trailer.

I'm sorry. I thought he killed a bunch of people. But, no. So he just kills himself. Yeah. Yeah. All right. From what I remember.

I mean, I have to remember I watched this with my youth. Oh, that's right. You did see it. OK. But OK. Well, Justin, it was good hearing from you. Sorry I came off a little antagonistic at first, but I hope you're having a good day. Yeah, it's all good.

Just want to know about the masturbation thing. Good talk, good talk. Yeah, see it. All right, see you. I feel like he does. I feel like he's probably edited that episode. Videos where we've talked about it. But that's the thing, you know?

You've eaten a roach. Yeah. I've gone to the depths of hell and back. You go up to people in public and you have said things that could have gotten you punched in the face. Particularly at a bar with an Armenian man in a nice getup apparently. Threatened to deck you in the face. Yeah, that one didn't make the cut.

You have the gumption to pull this off, I believe in you. It's not going to be easy. That dude was pissed at me. Yeah, he was. I remember you walked out of that. You came right at Daniel and I, and you were like, keep walking, keep walking, keep walking. Dude, because he was about to fucking punch me in the face. You were afraid.

Dude, I thought he was like a gangster. You thought he was a part of the Armenian mafia, and he was going to shoot you. Okay, so this guy, for context, way old Kids of Problems video. Before we move on to the story. Yeah. You will watch those videos? I will watch them before the next podcast. Okay.

Okay. You got to send me Snapchats as you're watching. Of course I will. I'll FaceTime you and shit. Okay. And I'm not going to cheap out. I honor what are the odds. It might take me a little longer sometimes, but I honor what are the odds.

That sounds good. And how about this? Set up that bong rip for me. I will do it. And how about this? Set up that bong rip for me. I will do it. And how about this, Matt? Not to completion with Big Mama's House 2, but you at least have to give half an hour of trying. Dude, I can't masturbate for half an hour. I'm sorry.

My dick doesn't work that way. To completion or you masturbate for— My dick's going to be raw? Dude, seriously, I have a horribly hard time masturbating to porn these days. So I mean, you can... My dick is like a Vienna sausage that is

just flimsy and just, I can slap it around, it won't stay hard I'm being very open right now with my personal matters. Get some I don't know. Hire a prostitute to come jerk me off while I watch. Yes. I mean, think of, I don't know.

They need work right now. Sex workers do need work. I mean, what about maybe a friend? A friend works. I mean, I feel like I'm already a part of it. You could probably ask Harrison or Jackson. I mean, you're the biggest part of the joke with me I mean it kind of fits

I feel like you know it wouldn't be gay you were telling a story I think fuck what was I saying oh yeah he was one of the funniest videos I think I've ever made was that boner pills video hysterical stuff

and I was asking people I needed i needed help sustaining an erection actually this is uh it fits with what we were just talking about um and i just went up to this guy at the bar smooth talking a woman and uh you could tell he was in the zone with the with the smooth talking he was a very talking. He was probably a 28. Was he as tall? Were you taller than him? Because you're a tall boy.

Oh, yeah. Okay, so he wasn't short. He was probably. Was he average Armenian height? Average guy, but very swabbed. Clearly had a lot of money. Nice suit. And I asked myself.

I don't mean that in a derogatory way. I'm just saying there's an average height of people of a particular background. Yeah, he was pretty average, but he was fit was fit he was young a lot of cologne uh dark suit looked like he could have been uh doing some illegal business dealings and i i asked him the the funny question i said sir hey uh you look like you're good with the ladies and i said this like in between him and the girl i was like yeah i see you over here you look like you're good with the ladies. And I said this like in between him and the girl. I was like, yeah, I see you over here. You look like you're pretty good with the ladies. I've been having a bit of a problem myself. Sustaining an erection.

Do you have any tips or do you know where I can get anything for that? And he goes, what? And I was like, you know, I'm sure you don't have that problem. And he was like, you get the fuck out of my face before i sock you in your fucking mouth and i was like okay okay and i walked away how much of that do we actually keep in the video on i don't think that i don't think i think you were afraid to post it publicly oh yeah i think i was scared that he was gonna like come after me yeah i would post it now because i have no value for my own life but back then i was very scared i kind of miss going out and doing the

public stuff i think the last i love doing. The last thing I ever did like that. E3? I guess, yeah, it was E3. Dude, those are my favorite types of video. I want to do more on the street sketches. Those are my favorite. Because you and I watched Borat and Bruno. But in terms of comedy, that's kind of the style I like creating.

I like mixing a narrative with real life. With real life. Because you don't know what's going to happen. Nathan, for you, is an example of that. Speaking of Borat, we did a movie marathon. Ryan came over this week. First movie we watched was The Wailing. We watched The Wailing, which is a Korean movie,

which I missed the final 10 minutes of. It was a good movie. I don't know how it ended. I'm going to go back and watch the ending. I just got final 10 minutes. I got hit with like the worst nausea. Which is weird because the final 10 minutes is where it drops a lot and that's, the final

10 minutes is like, so what do you think? That's what the movie is kind of doing. Yeah, well I got nauseous and I laid down. And then came back in, cleaned up. We watched Borat. Then we watched Bruna. Yep. So I have been doing three movie marathons lately.

Yes, so you're getting prepared. And this week, Joe Dirt, I think. A French movie? Joe Dirt and Joe Dirt 2? I think so. I didn't know they made Joe Dirt 2. Yeah. It came out on like Crackle or some shit like that.

Oh, that's how you know it's bad. I saw David Spade interviewing the Tiger King people. That was recommended to me recently and uh one of the uh here let me so one of one of the people featured is a is a goes by he pronouns okay biologically female goes by uh he him pronouns and so I see I just I'm reading through the comments and I see a comment that says you know ah she's kick-ass or something like that and then a comment then responds to them going I know the doc misgendered him but he identifies as a trans man please use preferred pronouns with a smiley face it was not like a call out it was just kind of like a very friendly reminder and the person responds with

fuck you and then another person responds down below that's a woman her chromosomes can't be changed and she has a real pussy and tits so she's a female keep living in a fantasy and then there was a bunch of facts don't care about about your feelings. And I'm like, I don't know. It's just, just have decency for other people. That's the thing. Like it's,

it's, it's just a common, like a, like a level of decency of respect for other people. But these people will say as an argument, I am being decent. I don't want to, I think that they have a mental disorder and that I'm,

I'm adhering to that. And I'm and I'm giving that mental disorder credence. And regardless of your opinion of it, my problem lies between this person saying that this a person that they thought was cool, they kick ass. Then when someone politely says they prefer these pronouns and they said it publicly and there's a problem right now with this person being misgendered. And you can imagine how that person feels right now. And their response is, fuck you. All facts don't care about your feelings. It's like, yeah, but there's there's no one's attacking you for for misgendering.

They just it was like a reminder. What's these people that feel like like they that feel like they're right and they have to be right. And they're so confident they're right on this situation. My grandmother just died. Well, most people who die in a given day are old. But that doesn't change the fact that I fucking loved her, man. Well, facts don't care about your feelings. Do they? I mean, a lot of people die.

And so then I started watching this. So a clip became popular and these people conflating that I would somehow think that someone's grandmother dying is equivalent to that of a mental disorder. And I find that particularly repulsive and totally out of any semblance of reality that we're supposed to be living in. You're good at Ben Shapiro-ing. I know. You're good at Shap Shapiro-ing. I know. You're good at Shapiro-ing, my man. I know. The thing is, what also baffles me, it's kind of the same group of people. I see a lot of people on Twitter and Reddit and stuff where it's like they're so repulsed and bothered by people using different pronouns.

And they make such a big deal out of it. And it's like, fucking, if that's... I get it does go too far in some areas. You know what I mean? Like people don't want to use pronouns where it's like,

X, E, like pronouns that it's just like... Not even that, but like people being malicious in intent when they are correcting people in terms of pronouns. There is a negative

and I'm not even trying to say there is a right answer in terms of how you should go about this. I'm just trying to say, have some fucking common decency when a person's been nothing but respectful and kind. You know what I mean? Yeah, and I just think, yeah, exactly.

And I think it doesn't, like... They show you respect, show them respect back. Why is it hard to call someone by whatever pronouns they want to go by? It's like it doesn't affect your life or change your life. You know, it's like. Well, part of their whole thing is they don't want to benefit this person's quote unquote delusion. Okay.

As I said, I do listen to a lot of both sides in terms, you know, some. I remember a lot of people got on me. He's like, who think where people were saying, you shouldn't be listening to Ben Shapiro. If you're listening to like right wing, he's not a good representation of right wing politics. And in my head, I'm like, I think he's absolutely the right representation for right wing politics because he carries all of the, you know, the ideals that right wing people have, at least in terms of the right wing people that I know personally back in South Carolina Carolina or even that I've met out. Yeah, because there there are there's different groups, you know, how there's like there are

like traditional Republicans. Yeah. And then there's more of kind of like this modern right. He's a conservative. He's like a conservative. Yeah. And I feel like I have to say this again. I do not agree with pretty much almost everything that he says and you know i agree

with him on some things like water is wet it's very obvious but there are some things where in terms of opinion like misgendering or in certain things that his opinions on the economy i disagree with i'm not listening to him because i'm a fan. I'm listening to them because I want to know what the other's argument is. You've always been into kind of – you like diving into the other side and kind of seeing – I like picking it apart because like I can see – That's why people like watching debates. Yeah. I think debates are one of the most important things, like even conversational, maybe not even debates, but conversations.

Long conversations between two intellectuals who disagree, come together and discuss their ideas. I would like to watch. That's really good. My dad used to watch them. I've watched a lot of political debates, but I would like to watch theology debates. I would like to watch some of the famous debates between like famous atheists and Christians. I've watched some of the famous debates between like famous atheists and Christians. Oh, yeah.

There's there's the famous seen any. But I feel like that would be really interesting because, you know, so much of that is based on personal feeling. Yes. There is a problem, though, and it's something that you will have to come over is like some of the people you listen to who make arguments that are logical. They're kind of pompous. Yeah. Well, that's a lot of the famous atheists. Richard Dawkins and... Christopher Hitchens.

Christopher Hitchens is a big... Well, Christopher Hitchens intentionally liked to spark kind of people's anger. Are they kind of like the role model-esque for the douchebag fedora atheist? I feel like Bill Maher might be more of that. You're really good at doing Bill Maher impression i you shocked me that one time i was like holy shit god's not real okay and you know i i made him sound like i wish you could have seen bill maher like it sounded like the south park dude like mr garrison yeah but um in terms of those debates though they they did when i was religious they did point out the faults in the in what I believed.

And it kind of flipped me around and I started to think and that's how I got out of religion was listening to these debates. And then, you know, as I went on further, I still disagreed with some of these people like Christopher Hitchens had this whole article, which I think is goofy, where it's like his whole purpose. which I think is goofy, where it's like his whole purpose, the whole point was women can't be funny and because they don't. That's right. Because they don't need to be funny because evolutionarily they don't need to use it as a peacocking mechanic in terms to get a mate. And so that was his whole thing. And in my head, I'm like, I understand what the argument is. I just think it's silly. But he is he is an actual like smart person who when he goes and debates religion makes very valid arguments.

Yeah. Makes very good points and he's very well read. Same with Richard Dawkins. It's just that it's hard sometimes for people it's hard to break that barrier of douchiness and kind of listen. Because smart people are very capable of saying very dumb things. And I think like that Richard – was it Christopher Hitchens that did the women can't be funny thing? Yeah. It was just ridiculous.

It was on Rolling Stones, I think. And then it might, I can't remember where it was, but then I think, uh, the female comedians on SNL at the time did a counter like photo shoot. Um,

it was this thing at the time. I think it was back when I was in high school potentially. Yeah. It was a while. He passed away. He had cancer, right? Yeah. Unfortunately. Well, you know passed away he had cancer right yeah unfortunately

well you know if he had accepted god uh maybe that wouldn't have happened it's a lot of comments about that i will say um it's like that's fucked up to say even though he is most known for taking on religion what i found to be the most interesting conversations that Christopher Hitchens kind of gave publicly or with other people was the conversations about immortality and how his view on death and life as he has cancer. There is one. There is one theologian that I do listen to from time to time on YouTube. And I'm not a religious person. The amazing atheist. Yes.

No, I'm not a religious person at all. I wouldn't say I'm an atheist, but I'd say I'm an agnostic. But I think that there's one guy I listen to named John Butler. And the main reason I listen to him is because he has the most buttery deep voice I've ever heard. He's this old, old, like wise man with a big white beard. And he does just talks on things on YouTube. But he's so calming to listen to. And he just kind of gives like they're very loaded with with Christianity, but they're very kind of just like inspiring.

Yeah. And just you can just tell he has just like even though i don't agree with him on the christianity stuff he has so much wisdom throughout his life that he just like offers um and he always does tie it back to god and stuff which is where the disconnect for me is but like overall he's a great guy to listen to and he makes a lot of really really like but that's positive points what i champion personally and i find important. It's you should continue to listen to people who you disagree with morally or in terms of your religion. You can listen to them, see where you disagree, but you can still kind of take something out of their argument whether it's positive or negative. In your case, it's positive for John Butler, you said his name was? Yeah.

And I do think that honestly, and maybe you might disagree with me on this, I think that there are some people who's, in my mind, whose opinions and way of thinking is like so despicable that like I'm not even going to listen to it. For instance, like a white supremacist or something. Well, I feel like there's so much history in terms of white supremacy that in my case, it's different than listening to someone like Ben, because if there's so much history tied to white supremacy that I kind of get the ideals they're going for and I'm disgusted and I kind of have my conclusion of I don't like white supremacy because it's a very simple

conclusion to come to. And I don't and I understand where they're coming from. I just think it's gross and I don't see things like they do. But in Ben, in terms of some of the things that he says are also despicable from a point of view of other terms of some of the things that he says are also despicable from a point of view of other people and some of the things that he says makes me roll my eyes. And yes, I think are despicable, but I feel like he is a voice that is widespread in the current political climate in terms of conservatives. Therefore, he holds a very important voice to understand the arguments that a lot of people on the internet on the right or just in general on the right are having.

Not a lot of people are white supremacists on the right. There are there is a collective of white supremacists. Yeah. But I think we all in America, because we grew up in America, understand where white supremacy comes from. Yeah. And that it shouldn't be a part of our politics. Oh, yeah.

Which, unfortunately, there is a group of people that are on the opposite spectrum of thinking. But listen to this guy's voice real quick. This is... Who is this? Is this him? Wait. That's his voice.

Oh, that sounds so real. I love listening to him to fall to fall asleep because like, yeah, he does talk a lot about Jesus and stuff. But like he just has so much other wisdom, like his videos are like how to deal with thoughts. Oh, and videos on love and stuff. And something else to bring up. I just don't listen to like the right. And Ben isn't the only person on the right I will listen to. listen to like the right and Ben isn't the only person on the right I will listen to I also will listen to things like the majority port which from what I've listened to I deem is kind of like the opposite side of the coin maybe not

directly to Ben but of someone of Ben's ilk because those are people that have very left-leaning ideals and they are very very um straightforward and adamant about them and they kind of make fun of other people who don't have those ideas young turks too i guess young turks are especially the young turks are like that so um i there are good median like uh articles to read which are usually just kind of like um studies and pieces on a given subject but in terms of like news like you're never ever gonna find the most centrist thing the best you can do is listen to both sides find some good articles that don't really seem to have uh or videos even that don't seem to have a bias and kind of form your own opinions from that i feel like it's important to have as much

collective data as you can yeah i see i still see people sometimes talk online about when we talk about politics and they don't know where we lie in terms of the political spectrum, which maybe it's just they haven't listened to us enough. I mean, I think as I've grown up, my political views have shifted several times. I think near the beginning of Super Mega, when I would consider myself a lot more edgy, I think I was a lot more... You were like internet conservative. Kind of, in a way. I mean, I've always... That vibe, not like...

I've been left. I've always been left, but I think I was not as left when we started Super Mega. And I think just the older I got and the more I started to kind of understand myself as a person and the world around me, I've become a lot more left. Yeah.

And I mean, obviously, there's no it's not a secret that I'm I'm I don't want to say like far left, but I'm pretty left. Yeah. You have you have you very left leaning views. Yes. I'm a big proponent of things like democratic socialism and stuff, which which a couple couple 15 year olds on Twitter might not like me saying that but just those are my views speak them um well it's important in a democratic society to have

a wealth of different viewpoints so you can talk and discuss about them so you can come to ultimately the best uh solution which we never come to in america but that's the idea yeah and the thing is it's like if you're listening and and you are you are right leaning or you don't like my views on politics, that's fine. That's OK. Everyone has different views. And there are some like as I even on my side, you know, there are there are people who suspect that I'm like they're like, is Ryan like Republican or something? I've never considered myself Republican or conservative. There are some of their values where I look into. or something. I've never considered myself Republican or conservative. Um, I, there are

some of their values where I look into, but I I'd say I'm definitely mostly left. And I, and most of like when, in, in terms of, um, like politics, uh, democratic socialism is something that I also, um, support in, in terms of the idea. And I just just I just kind of want to see things come together to where I can actually see how we would pull it off here. Yeah. It's an idea that I like the idea of it. The idea of it. I think I would like to see implemented because I feel like it would make America a much better country. You know me.

I mean, I think you would feel very comfortable in saying that I am on the left. Oh, yeah. But I do have I don't know. I find myself more center left. Yeah. Center left. Yeah. Where I'm not saying that I don't support certain types of people.

That's just I I'm not as that's your worldview, though, you know? Yeah. I don't know how to explain it, though. I'm trying to explain. It's weird. I don't know. I know your political. I'm trying to explain. It's weird. I don't know. I know your political standings just because we're best friends. So I know where you stand on things.

I'm not a closeted cuck bigot, I would hope. I feel like I'm not. I feel like I look at things and I am very fair in how I look at them and judge them. And I know that's like self-congratulatory but I'm talking about how I see things politically. That's how I view things. Very analytical. It's hard because

when I was, there was a point where I was very kind of going into the left but then recently also there's just some things that like people on the left did because of political motivations and that i'm like god damn it everyone's stuff related to bernie sanders no uh i'm i'm talking mainly about stuff related to covet 19. there there's a lot of stuff president most of the stuff president trump did is awful um and a lot of stuff – most of the stuff President Trump did is awful and a lot of the Republican governors were misleading the public.

But there are also I think Democratic leaders who were misleading the public to go out when they shouldn't have been going out. And yeah, I don't know. and uh yeah i don't know i just i just feel like right now the reason like i've i've kind of been in a weird spot at home in a headspace because i see the seriousness of this pandemic that's going on but every country and every state or somebody is using it for some political jab when when everyone's looking away it's a good time for people that, you know, make their entire living off of taking advantage of systems and taking advantage of different things. What perfect time to take advantage of shit than when the entire world is, you know. So it's just kind of like, I don't know. I just, I'm kind of sad just looking at things.

But it's glad that we're finally making steps i just feel like the underlying things that are going on are to help rich friends of yes you know and the steps that are being made should have been made over a month ago yes we america has massively mishandled this pandemic so far and and i see people uh i i saw an interesting thing that was like non-americans like what does the situation in our country look like for the rest of the world they're like people just say we look like idiots right now because of the handling of this pandemic and we just like like what are you doing like we should as such? Was it Sweden? Yes, Sweden was stupid as fuck. Sweden said like go to bars.

Yeah, it's like okay. Recently, of course Alabama. We don't need to talk about it but we all know what the governor of Alabama said. How he just got news that it can pass. Did he find out it could pass through the air? Is that what he found out?

And Florida. Florida was like, oh, I just found out yesterday that it could be spread through. It's like, where have you been? There's no surprise given it's Alabama. Yeah, those states are. Alabama is like, if there's one southern state where it's like, what is the kind of backyard cousin in a doghouse? It's Alabama. Alabama, just like, it's their track record, man.

Alabama just, like Roy Moore. You know, it's like, all right. It's like Alabama just kind of does it to themselves. And there's many, many wonderful people from Alabama. Oh, yes. I'm just saying Alabama as a state doesn't have the best reputation. Neither does South Carolina. And I'll say one.

South Carolina has some of the worst crimes. I don't want to stand on like a high horse right now from South Carolina. Being from South Carolina, I understand. South Carolina is pretty bad too. But that's all we're doing. We're just recognizing these states are not run well and also terrible things happen within these states that are a highlight of the culture.

When are they going to legalize weed? When are they going to? Never. Well, apparently, I think, I don't know if this is a, you know, I have to be wary of everything you hear. That's why, remember, people, whatever we say, take it with a grain of salt. Also, I'm going to say something that you might disagree with

that has been up for debate about, you know, the whole states' rights versus, you know, country, like government. There is a problem with government getting too big. I think that a national mandate for staying indoors, though,

should be like, I don't think that should be a states rights thing I think if we want to stop this right now I agree because even Fauci agrees like every state should be on lockdown I mean the thing is in America we do

have not the narrative but the basic kind we come from the roots of the words freedom you know what i mean yeah those are the roots of america you know it's it's fighting for our freedom um and then it was fighting to keep others in chains but um i i love the contrast message of freedom except for you people you got to be in except for the blacks you got to be chained up excuse me white people uh uh black blacks in africa own slaves uh um uh did you know they were irish slaves wait matt are you saying that two things can be despicable at the same time no no you can't there there isn't just one iconic despicable thing in all of the world

i have a cousin that's like you know there were irish slaves i'm like yeah and uh okay what's your point like i mean it all comes from it stems from the kind of like the same thing which is other yeah so yeah it's racism What about it? And I apologize. We've been talking so much political stuff. I feel like lately the podcast has been mainly politics and coronavirus. But that's just kind of been where we've been at lately. I know. It's not always going to be just politics and coronavirus.

Ha ha. How many ha ha's did we have in this episode? Not too many ha ha's. It's been more just talk, just discussion. Also, think about it this way, audience. I do have a group. I'll play video games with Justin and Kelly and some other people sometimes. But most of the time, I am alone.

You have social interaction with your roommates and stuff but i'm not really given that much of a chance to like have just have long-form discussion uh outside of like playing video games with people but then you're also focused on the game and you're just having a fun time so there's a lot of things i want to talk with you know matt about recording the podcast is a good like release of like things that we've seen all throughout the week on the news and have thought about I like

talking to you about politics and stuff you're a fun friend to talk about this stuff with I like talking about sorry I was checking the time I like talking about I had to get back to the mic I like talking about politics with you because it's it's

it's not constant agreement I feel I mean we do agree on a lot because we do I think fundamentally we agree yes fundamentally we agree but I think on like there's little things I feel like there's like little details yeah yeah like it's just ironing

out the details yeah yeah and Yeah. And I like that. I like that. I think it makes for an interesting conversation. Yeah. And then, you know, anyway, I hope that all of you are staying safe right now, staying inside, wearing a mask, washing your hands. And this is another reminder. I know we've done it so much, but maybe this will get to someone new.

If you are currently, because there's a lot of people who are subscribed to Netflix, Disney Plus, a lot of programs that maybe right now they can't afford to be subscribed to and they don't know it because it's on an automatic payment. And you may have Patreon set up that way for us um if you're hurting financially this is a reminder that you should unsubscribe from the patreon if you are having financial difficulties right now and even though it's only five bucks take the money you can get yeah and and it's been harder for us uh april it's april and maybe may i'm not i don't know it's a little trickier to make stuff for patreon right now when we can't be producing as much content as normal. There was a comment I saw recently where I was like, what? It was someone saying they're not watching anymore because it's been like the same stuff recently.

And in my head, I'm like, one, we've released a lot of new stuff in the beginning of the year. And two, are we not going through a pandemic? Do you not see that we can't just go out in public and film and we can't be as active as we were in terms of going out to the grocery? Think of drunk drawing. We don't have every – we're not a liquor store. We'd have to go out and buy the alcohol necessary. Yeah. And we do have more drunk drawing on the way too.

We have one more episode that's not out yet it's just we do want to film more but we're being very careful we're not you know we're kind of waiting because it seems like

if things are really about to ramp up we're kind of waiting to see like do we wait until the peak is passed do we you know

we're still going to be releasing content it won't all be Animal Crossing we actually have several episodes of GTA edited and ready to go we just wanted to get that big boost out.

We should go ahead and start getting GTA out. Yeah. Because I want to finish that game. And I've seen a lot of I've gotten a lot of DMs on Instagram. People are like please bring back GTA. We are. We are. We got plenty of GTA on the way still. We just right with the whole Animal Crossing hype train. We were riding that hard

because we love Animal Crossing. So we're like let's fucking just. We got more diversity on the way for the channel. Apologies to people that aren't a fan of Animal Crossing and feel like the past few weeks they haven't been able to enjoy our channel as much because they just don't really care about Animal Crossing. We got a lot more on the way. And we have over a thousand hundred- something videos on our channel right now. We have a lot of live action to watch.
