Hey guys, welcome to our podcast.
It is, uh, this is the 19th?
Yes.
Jesus Christ.
We got it wrong last time.
Yeah, last time we said 17, but it was 18, so.
Yeah, because we're nothing but fucking idiots.
Yeah, well guys, we apologize for that, but this is the 19th episode of Super Mega Cast.
Can't believe we've recorded that many episodes.
Celebrate when we get to 20.
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm preemptively celebrating.
But, uh, I am Matt Watson, and...
This is Ryan McGee.
There you go.
This.
This right there.
This thing right here is...
Beautiful husk of a man.
Yeah.
It's like a husk of corn.
Wouldn't mind popping some of that corn.
Speaking of popcorn, we saw a movie this week.
And what movie was that, Ryan?
Unfortunately, it was Blair Witch.
And this is the third installment in the quote-unquote franchise.
Was it just Blair Witch?
Yeah, because the first one was called The Blair Witch Project.
The other one was like The Blair Witch Shadow, The Book of Shadows.
Okay, well, yeah.
Well, the first Blair Witch movie was like one of my first scary movies I ever saw.
I watched it with my friend josh in
like fourth grade when i slept over at his house yeah and it was terrifying but really good and um
i don't know i've always like held it at this really high standard i've been seeing this one
i went into this one like hoping it would be it wouldn't be bad but it was awful and it was
yeah i didn't like it i didn't like the direction they went with uh
the witch quote unquote um just uh i don't know the first one i've seen clips and stuff on youtube
i'm not gonna act like i know how the first one played out but safe to say spoilers exist and i
and i have acquired information so the first one seemed more just kind of like a you know you hear
snaps every now and then in the woods you of like a you know you hear snaps every now
and then in the woods you hear like a little scream every now and then but in this one it's
more like a tyrannosaurus rex has entered the vicinity of the uh woods of the blair witch yeah
it sounds like godzilla that's that's what you you leaned over during the movie and you were like
why is the blair witch godzilla because it, like, it sounded like trees were moving in mass quantities.
Yeah, you hear, like, trees cracking, and then, like,
then it was just, like,
yeah, like that, and it was, like, okay,
are they being chased by a dinosaur or a witch?
Yeah, this one, uh, the director
is, uh, his name is,
oh, what the fuck is it? It's Adam Wingard.
He did, um, uh, You're Next
and The Guest, which I have, I've, I've
liked both of those, and he did, I think, a short in the other found footage movie, VHS, which I like some of the little short films in that.
But he's a competent director.
That's the thing.
And I don't understand then why he relied on false jump scares so much.
Yeah, that movie had some bad.
Okay, so I'd say probably 80 to 90% of the jump scares in that movie were just their friends.
They'd be like...
No, not a single one was related to anything but a false jump scare.
Because the other ones weren't little zingers.
The other, quote-unquote, other jump scares were like you see something and it sends fear through you.
Yeah, I don't think there was a single jump scare that wasn't like uh they'd be like looking for their friend in the woods and when their friend
would pop up and be like hey i'm right here but but every time they did that it would sound like
someone was smacking the side of the camera with a hammer i know it was terrifying and uh i i
counted one time one time two of those false jump scares happened within like a 60 second period god it
was so annoying like after the second one i was already annoyed i was like okay those are gimmicky
and then they did it like six or seven times throughout the movie but you kind of know when
to expect them almost yeah it's like when they're looking for someone and they're not responding
odds are quiet yeah odds are they're going to appear by just going like that like through the
camera's uh vision point of view.
Yeah, because this movie was shot with everyone had a little,
you know those little Bluetooth things people used to wear on their ears?
Were those cameras on their heads,
or were those little headsets for them to talk to each other?
No, those were cameras, the little ear ones.
That's how everyone had their own point of view.
They also had the drone.
And the DSLRs, which throughout the movie,
all the cameras would have cool little glitch effects, but they weren't cool at all because cameras don't do that stuff.
And it was nauseating.
They glitch up, but that's in post.
You'll get the blue screen or something like that. No, but the cameras that were glitching weren't even...
They had the DSLR glitching.
No, they don't glitch like that. It's like when you're watching a movie about hacking and it's just kind of like
throw down the Delta 9 or hack bomb
number 3 and then they like click a
button and this like animated gif
of like a little rocket goes and hits
an animated gif of a
computer. I've never understood that about Hollywood
is they just can't get hacking right.
You've discussed this a lot. This seems
this is like a big, I feel like a lot
of like this is, Of all your film criticism,
this is something that you're very passionate about.
I just...
It's so funny.
Why can't they do it?
Why can't they get technology right?
It's funny...
Cell phones?
Computers?
Yeah, it's funny how Borat does it way better than the other ones.
Because you know how they have those fake titles?
Like...
Yeah!
Like that type of shit?
It's just...
It's astounding.
But anyway, Blair Witch sucked.
Don't go see it unless you want to see a shitty movie that you want to spend too much money on.
I will say, I did, I thought the last ten minutes were pretty somewhat, it was a fun little haunted house section of the movie.
Yeah, but.
I thought it was tense.
It was definitely tense.
It had that moment in there with the claustrophobic moment.
No, it wasn't tense, Ryan, because they were in a house.
Ha ha!
Yeah, but it was...
Okay, I take it back.
I'm not going to say don't see it, because I don't want to ever say that.
When it comes out on Netflix, because it ultimately will.
Yeah, then it has to.
You shouldn't see it.
But if you want to see it, go see it.
We saw it with Susie and Chris and Corey.
Or you might know him as Spaz Kid.
Is that all?
Yeah.
Yeah, we were all kind of disappointed.
Yeah, a little disappointed.
Because I like a good horror movie.
I do too.
Well, I'm not really that big a fan of horror movies.
I don't know.
When they're done right, they're good.
Yeah, definitely.
Think of The Shining.
I don't know.
Someone always said the best horror is a thriller in disguise. I can't remember when they're done right. They're good. Yeah. Think of think of like the shiny. I don't know. Someone always said like the best horror is a thriller in disguise.
Yeah.
I don't remember who said that, but I think that's a good explanation because like every
time I think of like a good horror, they always have this other element within it.
Like the monster or the ghost or something is usually like it usually means something
else.
So there's at least another layer to the story that adds suspense rather than loud noises
or scary images.
Yeah. And what happened? What happened after the movie ryan when we're all walking out of the movie theater uh the dude in the bathroom was that that time wasn't it not not the dude looking out
at us yeah there wasn't the time with the blair witch because we because we saw the blair witch
in one of the front theaters we saw another movie with Chris in the back theaters and it was down that hallway where the bathroom was tell that
story what what movie was that what what was the last movie we saw with Chris god it wasn't Sausage
Party what that wasn't it was after Sausage Party no it was Ross it was it was Kubo oh yeah Kubo and
the two strings yeah so we we saw Kubo and the two Strings with Ross and Chris. Which I think we've discussed before.
Yeah.
While we were coming out of the movie theater.
We were like the last people in there.
Yeah, there was this, he was shirtless, right?
I don't remember.
Yeah, he was shirtless and he was poking his head out of the bathroom and he just stared at us.
And he continued, and this is a long hallway, so it's like 20 seconds go by, he's still staring at us.
We finally pass him.
I and Chris turn back and he's still staring at us shirtless.
I have a theory.
What was he doing in there? Tell me what you think.
This is what I think. I don't know if you have any
hypotheses about this
but mine is that he was
fornicating in the restroom and was
waiting for the coast to clear
so that she could
leave or that they could get dressed.
Why didn't he put his shirt back on before checking that?

That's A-N-G-I dot com.
Yeah, but that was quite an interesting trip to the movies when there was just that naked man peeking out of the bathroom at us.
Yeah, all those memories.
But anyway, guys.
But overall, so just to kind of, would you recommend someone go see Blair Witch?
No.
Yep, same here.
Not at all.
I wouldn't recommend it.
Although I do have to give the movie credit.
I thought the last 10 to 15 minutes were, it's what the rest of the movie should have been
it's it's kind of never mind i'm gonna go on a rant because there's certain aspects about that
last scene that never mind fuck it never mind let's not i'm just gonna leave it at that i don't
recommend it you don't recommend it boom done end discussion yeah but uh but but any there's
there's some other stuff we want to talk about. Unfortunately. I'm sure some of you guys have seen, there's that whole new YouTube Heroes program.
YouTube has wiped its slate clean of shit by just piling on more shit.
Exactly.
It's like, you know what to get rid of this shit?
We drop our slacks and pinch another big one right on top.
That's a big mess.
They won't have enough time to think of the poop
that's underneath this big pile right here.
Exactly. I woke up this morning and I saw
Ross was like talking about it and came into the office.
I saw Dolan's tweet about it.
Yeah. It's on,
it's so stupid.
Like, so basically, if you guys
don't know what it is. They're gamifying
YouTube. Yeah, they're making it so
it's like a level system where you can level
up and earn points by doing different things
in the YouTube community. Yeah. And from afar
that's like, oh yeah, sure, that's a cool idea.
You know, I'm not interested in that, but
sure, if people want to do that, go ahead. That seems
like a cool idea. And they start this video
off. It's like this happy, cheerful
little video. And it's like, oh,
nice. It's going to be a cool little program.
And then, you know, the video progresses and it's like, earn points for things like captioning videos. And it's like oh nice it's gonna be a cool little program and then you know the video
progresses and it's like earn points for things like captioning videos and it's like oh cool yeah
i thought that was that's a awesome little thing with the whole captioning thing i fully support
that because that'll want people to get points and it'll force them just to go to videos uh and
just put in subtitles whatever and i think it'll make it for a better environment for people that
are hearing impaired definitely
because there's an incentive there but
they produce more poisonous
incentives Matt you wanna
touch a little on that? Yeah so it continues and it's like
when you move up to the next tier
it's like oh what can I do here
I bet it's cool it's like now you can
you can flag all sorts of videos
and it's like what? You want me now you can flag all sorts of videos. And it's like, what?
You want me to read this little thing that YouTube released?
Yeah, go ahead.
Okay, so YouTube Heroes is a program designed to recognize
and reward the global community of volunteer contributors,
meaning the users of the site.
These aren't people that have a background
or are tested to see if they're trustworthy or anything like that.
So that's the first thing.
The volunteers help create the best possible YouTube experience for everyone by, and when
they mean everyone, they mean a certain group.
You can gain points in whatever YouTube experience by flagging inappropriate videos, adding captions
and subtitles, as you said, and then sharing your knowledge with users.
But a big reward that is concerning is
the mass flagging function yeah once you reach like a certain tier you're allowed to mass flag
videos and it's like what how is that how is that a tier reward i don't know basically you only need
i think i think it's like the 100 to 399 point range so if someone gets 100 points they got it
yeah and it's like why what benefit would you get out of mass flagging videos
unless YouTube doesn't like, like, let's say YouTube hates,
now I don't like him either, but let's just use Leafy as an example.
YouTube doesn't like Leafy.
They give people this feature, and then people can go and just mass flag
like every one of his videos, and then.
Well, even going on the opposition of that,
Leafy could make a video about someone else.
And tell everyone to like go flag the video
not even tell them because
like they put the disclaimer don't go
flag and blah blah blah
yeah but he could just make a video
about someone like iDubbbz when he made this
recent video about Leafy if this system
was in place I bet
that a lot of people would have flagged
Leafy's video
see here's the thing
basically there and then you can also like flag comments and apparently like if you're high up
you can like remove comments i don't know how confirmed that is but it's like so i haven't
heard that so they're giving these these moderating well well in the uh in the little animation video
it showed people like flagging and tagging comments and stuff. So yeah, I guess ultimately removing them. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, so it's like they're giving this power.
To children.
This awful mob mentality power to remove things that people don't like.
Yeah, to basically the group of, because let's be honest,
there's a massive majority of the YouTube audience that are very immature kids.
Mature adults aren't going to spend their time doing this.
Only kids are going to do this program. So they're putting it in the hands
of these awful kids. Except for the awesome
wonderful people who are adding subtitles
and stuff. Oh yeah. You guys
adding subtitles to our videos. Although I'm sure there are
a lot of young kids that will abuse that
and just subtitle, subtitle, subtitle.
Poopy, poopy, poopy. Yeah. I mean I think they have to
be approved subtitles though. Undertale is
awesome. Well it depends on the channel., I mean, I think they have to be approved subtitles, though. Undertale is awesome.
Well, it depends on the channel.
Some channels, like ours, we don't have to approve subtitles.
Anyone can add them.
Don't abuse that function.
But anyway, like... We're going to abuse it.
Yeah.
Like, I just don't get why they think this is a good idea.
And dude, if I get enough points, I can go to the YouTube Heroes Summit.
Do you get a badge and everything?
Probably.
Not even the big YouTubers are invited to this.
I bet you they are.
I bet you it's like, meet your favorite YouTubers.
Yeah, they're going to probably invite some big YouTubers and, you know, try to get them there.
It's just saying like, hey, you know this whole system we have in place for like moderating videos and like flagging content and stuff?
We're going to go ahead and just pass it all over to the kids that watch YouTube.
And they're going to run it from now on.
Or if not run it, they're going to be the main people in charge of it.
So it's just scary because, you know, there's these people that have like, let's say like a YouTuber that has 15 million subscribers doesn't like someone.
And then their fan base goes out and flags videos.
But like so many people start doing it.
Like it could ruin a lot of people on YouTube.
it like it could it could ruin a lot of people on youtube and then on top of that i i don't get i don't even get why this is being implemented in the first place because there was just this
whole not even a month ago this whole controversy with the youtube terms of service about the
censorship stuff yeah so it's like this is just another i feel like it's another foot in the water
of them being able to take down content they don't like but they're implementing it in a way that's like no well the community did it we didn't take it down the
community took it down yeah they voted that it was not good for youtube so they took it down
and my fear necessarily isn't that this will be abused to just an ungodly extent sure it will
my maybe but my problem is that it gives people the whole get out of jail free card.
Oh, I didn't mean to flag that video. I thought the content was bad.
When they could have very well had malicious intent.
Why would anyone need to mass flag videos?
Because the only way I could see that ever being like an okay thing would be, let's say a business has a copyrighted something like a video and then a lot
of people are uploading that and they like you know they own it so they take it down it's going
to be hard for someone some intern to go and like flag every video so let's just say they have like
they see 20 videos that are theirs that have been uploaded they can just mass flag all those in one
swoop but let's like why why does anyone else need that because here's the thing business owners and
people in the government are not allowed to join the youtube perks quote unquote it's just there
to save their ass yeah but they know businesses are going to use it yeah exactly i just hate how
friendly they're trying to be about i hate how just conniving and just arrogant they think they're
like or arrogant they are acting but how innocent they act like they're trying to be with this stupid video they released where it's all smiles and a happy jingle.
It's like a little Walmart commercial music.
And it's like, it goes, mass flagging videos.
Doop, doop, doop, doop.
Yeah, yeah.
It's like happy music and they, like, throw it in with, like, subtitling videos.
Mass flagging videos.
It's like, what are they thinking?
Do they think that anyone's gonna be
like yes and then the best part of all the best part of all they disabled comments on the on the
video yeah it's like no we don't want to hear your criticism or feedback on this one i watched
just gonna yeah yeah i watched a chris ray gun he did a video and he's like are they incentivizing
people to go out and flag videos because i think that's a form of bullying i think we should go i'm not saying you should but i'm just saying you know maybe you know this video
needs to get flagged for bullying so like i think there's a large group of people actually flagging
that youtube video for like inciting bullying dude technically it's just it's because it's
rewarding people for flagging videos it's literally people don't need a reason to flag videos they can
just fucking flag them because they want
points. It's reminiscent
of like a 1984 type thing where it's
like, hey,
the government will give you points for ratting on people.
It's a disgusting psychological
like... You'll get rewarded for reporting these
people. Exactly. You're part of the
community, but if you report it, it'll give you points.
Yeah, but anyway, that's just
our opinion on the whole situation. We think it's stupid and we think youtube is repeatedly shooting itself in
the foot and becoming a platform that more and more people are going to start driving away from
and it's going to cost them a lot of money and it's going to make them become a very hated website
which it already is becoming and it's just delegitimizing itself and delegitimizing itself for content
creators and making it harder for everyone um and just you know overall taking a big poo-poo in its
hand and throwing it on everyone or maybe we won't see the a big backlash from all this maybe it
won't actually mean anything and get in the way of creation and then when uh something that they
don't agree with comes along they can just silently sweep it under the rug and then point at all.
Like, oh, they flagged it.
They deemed it as love.
Yeah, the community flagged it.
So, yep, that's all I have to say about that.
That's all I have to say about that.
I am not a smart man, but I know what love is.
Sounds like Kermit the Frog mixed with like...
That was my Tobuscus impression.
Ryan, climb on my Segway with me.
Okay, where are we going?
Where the fuck are we going with this?
Fun little...
I have something coming up.
Communion.
Let's talk about communion.
Communion?
Let's talk about communion.
Okay.
Yeah.
We were talking about this on the Uber to the office.
Just, like... Because I was talking about this on the Uber to the office.
Because I was talking about how I can only really have red wine if I have some bread,
like good baker's bread to dip it in.
To dip the bread in the red wine.
Because it tastes good.
No, I'm not disagreeing with you.
I just think it sounds funny.
Just imagine me just with a gauntlet filled with red wine.
A chalice of red wine.
Yeah, like a chalice of red wine.
Like a big loaf of bread just.
Like I'm just going to walk in the living room one night and you're going to be sitting out there watching.
With candles.
Or just a little, yeah, just a big golden chalice.
Wait, hold on.
Pause for a second.
What's the difference between a chalice, a goblet, and a gauntlet?
I don't know. A gauntlet's a second. What's the difference between a chalice, a goblet, and a gauntlet? I don't know.
A gauntlet's a glove.
Yeah.
Yeah, a gauntlet's a glove.
So you're going to fill a glove with wine and dip some bread in there?
They have soda drink hats.
They've got to have something with a glove.
Wine gloves?
Yeah, wine gloves.
How would that even?
Kickstarter.
Go.
At my church growing up.
You had these wafers, didn't you?
Yeah, we had these little styrofoam-esque wafers that...
They were styrofoam.
Pretty much, but apparently...
It's pretty much they took a styrofoam cup, ripped it into pieces, and gave it to you and set it...
They were just little wafers.
That's bread.
It's like they flattened styrofoam.
But my mom told me it's actually like a type of bread from the Middle East or something.
I really always enjoyed it, though.
like a type of bread from the Middle East or something.
I really always enjoyed it, though.
And I'm sure a lot of people listening can relate.
Those little, like, circular discs for communion.
I've had them before.
I went to, it was when I was at a Catholic church. Oh, they're so good.
I don't know why.
Oh, I wasn't Catholic.
I was Anglican, I think.
Why did they have those at a Catholic church?
Usually they'd have the real shit.
Well, Catholic church communion is like big shit.
Well, yeah,
because you're devouring Christ.
Yeah, like I'm pretty sure
Catholics believe
that that's the actual
blood and body of Christ
and not just like
a symbolic, you know,
representation
of his blood and body.
Because, I mean,
Jesus Christ.
Pray he don't have AIDS.
They're really,
they're really,
they're eating him every week, dude.
It's not going to have
much body and blood left.
That's not good.
No, no, no.
But how do you do communion in your church?
We would, there's a big loaf of bread and then, of course, like this little chalice, I guess you would say, of a big thing.
They'd get the bigger, I guess the better members of the church and they'd dip their bread in that.
And then in other portions, they would have these little cups
that you would just sip out of.
You would sip grape juice out of it.
Yeah, now here's the thing.
And then you'd eat the bread along with it.
It was like back and forth.
Either you dipped it in the chalice or you drank from a little medicine cup.
Yeah.
And see, my church, it was just a big, a big, massive chalice filled with wine.
My skin is crawling.
This sounds so weird.
It's like we're in a cult.
Yes.
It sounds so culty.
At my church, it was like a big chalice.
And then people would just one by one come sip out of it.
And I'm just shocked.
Like, how does that not spread sickness?
Is it because it's alcohol and alcohol is like a natural antiseptic i promise
you that's not the reason people i'm pretty sure people not get sick from pretty sure people got
sick i just people were sick i don't think they'd come to church yeah but like everyone was always
at church and you would think that like if one person was sick everyone would get it and then
or something like that like that never seemed to happen because you would think that like there
would always be massive amounts of people that were missing from church. He had that
fucking Jesus rag to wipe the
lip juice off of the rim of the cup.
I just remember seeing people in front of me
just like pursing their lips
and just like... Because you know it's
impossible to take a sip of something without a little bit of
backwash. Why don't you just dip the bread in there
then? That's what I did every time. I never
took a sip out of it, but even I'm dipping my bread
in spit wine. It's wine that a million old people have like i guarantee someone in someone in that
congregation ate some ass the night before at least one person in that congregation ate ass
the night before statistically speaking it was a big church someone got freaky ate some ass and
didn't brush their teeth that morning they go they take a sip and i got some ass in my jesus juice
when i think of communion i think of one of those pictures, like, what's missing?
And it's like there should be an empty spot in the middle of, like, everyone with, like, the fucking chalice of red wine and, like, the bread and all of them, like, in a circle.
And then in the middle, you, like, click on it, and it's a beheaded goat.
Like, it feels like a beheaded goat should be at the front of the chapel.
Everyone comes up and takes a little, like little sip of the blood from its head.
Yeah.
No, they break off the horn and fill it with the red wine.
They hollow out the skull and everyone takes a sip from its mouth.
Yeah, that was communion for me.
It was actually my favorite part of church growing up.
Of course it is.
Of course it is.
I get to get up.
I don't have to sit anymore. I get to get up. I don't have to sit anymore.
I get to get up and I get to drink a little booze.
You don't need to sing nonsense songs.
I don't have to sing songs at all.
You don't need...
Basically, every song was singing the Pledge of Allegiance.
Just with God replaced?
Yeah.
I like hymnals, though.
I like that word, a hymn.
Hymnal?
We didn't sing hymnals.
We sang at my church contemporary like, contemporary rock music.
Because you had those early services, right?
No.
It was like, my church started, like, 1045.
Did you have wooden chairs, or were they, like, little metal seats?
No, it was just regular chairs with, like, very soft padding.
Yeah, so you were very modern.
Yeah, it was a modern church.
We had two options.
It was either you go to um early service or late service early service was like with the electric guitar and they
had a projector and then then uh late service was like the boring just kind of oh why did they do
that because old people wake up before well i think they also had the quote-unquote late service
at the same time as the early service. Oh, okay.
They had two boring services
and then one service that was slightly less boring
with electric guitars.
Yeah, my church had a little church next to it
that was part of the church
that was like wooden seats or pews, I guess,
and then like an organ.
Pew, pew.
And PewDiePie.
Aha.
Yeah, it was my church experience.
What a fun church.
We had a, we, our church bought like this house across the street and we called it The Rock.
That's actually where Dwayne Johnson lived.
Yeah, because we were like The Rock.
We were something, Youth Ministries.
It was like, I don't know.
Rock Solid Youth Ministries is what we were. I'm sure a bunch of other people have that name wait ryan you're telling me about this in the in the uber what to tell me about the dude that worked at your church can i give him a can i give
him a name let's name him arnold arnold's a good name arnold so this uh um pudgy man probably he
looked like he was 40 50 50. He had a mustache
and grandpa glasses.
I don't know how to explain it.
His name was
Arnold.
He had kind of like boiled
looking things on his face.
I don't know how else. I'm just describing this man to you.
When you say boiled, you mean like big red shiny?
Not big red shiny. It was just kind of like
skin colored but lumps on his skin.
Like when he talked.
He had leprosy.
Yeah, when he talked his like chin jiggled.
He had jowls.
Yeah.
So he worked in the youth group and he would like help facilitate the goings on of the youth group
and go on trips with the youth group, you know, all the kids that are, you know,
it's like in between,
I think, middle school and high school.
Because once you get out of high school,
you go to the college classes or whatever.
And then one day he didn't show up.
What?
Yeah, one day he didn't show up.
Arnold.
Poor old Arnold didn't show up.
Why didn't he show up, dude?
He didn't show up because he got caught
with child porn on his personal computer.
Or maybe, maybe, maybe I'm giving him too much credit.
Maybe they were VHS tapes.
I don't know how he.
Maybe he had, maybe he had a little shoe box in his closet.
Yeah.
I don't know how he garnered these or what device they were on, but he had child porn.
And it's weird.
The adults came and they got the youth group together.
It's like, okay okay we need to talk
about something serious arnold remember arnold yeah everyone's like yeah i know i know like
arnold i love arnold it's just a big lovable guy um and then he's like yeah he got he got caught
with um he had uh child pornography on his computer i love it i told you and everyone in
the youth group everyone in the youth group,
everyone in the youth group was silent.
But it wasn't that like, what a monster.
Like, oh my God, it was like, poor guy.
I remember everyone in the youth group was like,
is he going to be okay?
Wait, he's going to jail?
Like he said something horrible happened to him.
Yeah, and it's like, can we write him a card?
And I remember a group of us like got together and like started signing it like a card and
like writing messages like, we love you, Arnold.
We miss you.
Oh, hope you return soon.
Like stuff like that.
And I never know.
I don't know if the card went out, but could you imagine?
I feel like the adults probably threw that away.
They should have.
Because could you imagine at the, like at the jail, Arnold's sitting down and he's like,
the cops are like, you're in some deep shit.
No, no no I
have I don't have anything to do with kids guys come on yeah I think it's like they get like
something came in the mail for you Arnold he opens it up it's a note from all these kids
with like crayons and markers and saying we love you I know we hope you'll be back soon we probably
we probably put him away good if that got sent to him under the jail with that card that was that
was like you know he probably could have gotten like two
years like in prison and then some probation or
something. Like parole or whatever. I don't know
how it works. But like then like they get this and
it goes straight to the evidence room. He's away for like
two decades now because of that card.
No, I'm not going to say whether or not
he was innocent or guilty. That's the story
that was told to me.
I used a different name, of course, to protect
the identity of this
wonderful youth group
extraordinaire
leader man
oh Arnold
I just love how
everyone's like
no
I know
I was like
I remember I was sad
I was like
no way
and I talked to my mom
about it
my mom was like
yeah that's not good
that's not good
when I was in
sixth grade
I was really good friends
with this guy named felix and uh how's it going bros what oh i uh i i got off the bus one day
and like my mom picked me up and she's like driving me home and she was like hey honey i
have some bad news and i was like what's up mom and she was like felix had been hit by a car
and passed away and i just started like bawling
in the back seat of the car because he's my friend and i was like jesus christ he was my friend she's
like i know sweetie i know turns out she was talking about my neighbor's dog felix that got
hit by a car and and she just forgot to mention that it was the dog and not my friend felix so uh
i just remember like being in tears in the back of the car and being like he was my friend Felix. So I just remember being in tears in the back of the car
and being like, he was my friend.
They're worth the same thing to her.
Yeah, exactly.
And then finally my mom was like, I met the dog.
And it was the biggest moment of relief.
But at the end of the day, the dog still is dead.
Yeah, well, the dog was mean.
Well, the dog didn't deserve to die because it was mean.
The only memories I have of that dog was it was a really old, mean dog
that tried to bite people and then went into the street i don't understand like
that would suck to get a bad dog oh yeah i mean you're stuck with it yeah i'm lucky with lego
like i mean he he's a nuisance and he's dumb so you know a lot of the time i wouldn't say
dumb he's more clumsy than dumb yeah he's really clumsy he doesn't take in his size into account
yeah he thinks that he's a small little puppy and then he'll like jump up on the couch yeah like six
people are on it and like smack everyone with their tail with his tail but but i but i love
him he's a good dog and i and i think i got lucky with him but i couldn't imagine getting like a
dog like if i got lego and he was just constantly like growling and barking at anyone who came near
him and like even i and like i was the only one that got to pet him or anything like he would always nip at people like so bad that'd be horrible
you'd also have to be scared that he would like attack a smaller dog or something yeah he does
bark at other dogs yeah he likes he does like to go oh it scared it his bark is so sharp it's very
like annoying it's very jarring when you hear like please stop especially if it's like nighttime
you're taking him out for a walk and it's all silent and when he just barks it's like oh oh
i get mad at him i'm trying to tell him not to but he gotta beat it out of him boy yeah honestly
i don't you know banana banana's an asshole but i don't i don't think he's a bad cat but i think he
does have a lot of uh asshole tendencies like knocking uh i He's not the best behaved cat.
Yeah, but he's not a bad cat, though.
When it comes to other people.
Or, like, learning to, like, getting along with new people.
Yeah, he, I mean.
He gets used to people, though.
I mean, it's a cat, though.
They're not always the best with new people.
But, like, what really pisses me off about Banana, I don't know why, if there's an open
drink.
Follow the fly.
What?
Nothing.
If there's an open drink on, like, a counter or a table, he'll wait until no one's around and he'll knock it off.
Yep.
Like every time.
Like say there's an open Gatorade bottle.
He'll knock it off.
The other day I had a, we went and got lunch at like this healthy place and I got carrot juice.
And I got carrot juice and like I brought it home and it was in like a closed cup.
You know, like a plastic cup with a straw and lid.
I had it on the table, and I went in my room,
and I came back out, and he had knocked it on the floor.
The floor was orange, and I had to clean it up
for 20 minutes to get the orange out.
So, Banana, if you're listening to this, you're an asshole.
Aww.
He's at home right now, just like,
I was just trying to get your attention,
you fucking bastard.
He's greasy. I gotta give him a bath. He. You fucking bastard. He's greasy.
I gotta get him a bath.
He's actually getting greasy.
Lego's just getting all full.
You know, his hair's getting really long.
He's getting a little ratty with his hair.
Yeah.
You gotta get a pair of shears and just...
Yeah.
I need to go take him to a pet cove.
Dude, what I'm saying, we should do it with my golden.
You should get him like, not just haircut, but you should get them actually trimmed.
Because they're all fuzzy and soft and it's so cute.
Yeah. It's not like buzz cut
soft. It's like stuffed
teddy bear soft. Really? Because it's still
short, but it's like
puffy, kind of like fuzzy.
And they don't shed
and they don't get hot because
of, God knows, our AC
breaks every other day at our
apartment mine's finally working well well i'm not dripping anymore basically what our acs do
is uh so our apartment's like three rooms um my room living room and ryan's room you know it was
like kitchen and bathrooms and closets but those are subdivisions of other rooms so we have three
ac units in our apartment and um Like they're not here's the thing
The company doesn't exist anymore
Yeah the company does like
Our AC was giving us error codes
Cause it has a little digital screen on it
So I went to go look it up
And the company dissolved like three years ago
It doesn't exist anymore
And same with all the PDFs of like
How to work the AC
They've just gone offline
So these ACs,
I mean, I'm not surprised the company doesn't exist
because probably I'd say at least
once a month they break and we have to call someone
and the guy that works our building to fix his things
doesn't really do anything.
He lost his tools one time.
Yeah, we're walking out of our
apartment to go to work one morning and he's like,
hey, uh,
your boy's seen my tools and i was like
what and he's like i misplaced my tool set and i was like fuck that's your what do you mean you
misplaced your tool set how did you lose your tools like did you leave them in someone's apartment i
don't understand but he uh what so basically what our ac does is it broke during the biggest heat
wave of the year in Los Angeles,
which, by the way, was also when Jacksepticeye was staying at our apartment.
So we had guests staying with us, and it was 108 degrees outside one day, and our AC is not working.
And then basically, our AC gets fixed, and it breaks again.
It gets fixed, breaks again.
This is like in a week.
Yeah.
And we put in like 10 requests and they never came.
And finally they brought us like a temporary one.
But the other way.
I love that temporary one.
Oh, it was great.
It was so cool.
I might just want to get one.
Because I love a cold room.
That was like an industrial one though.
That was probably like six, seven hundred dollars.
I'll dip into my life savings.
Ask your mom for the money.
Like, mom, can I get your, can you die soon so I can get the money
from your will and get a nice industrial air conditioning?
Yeah. Cecile's visiting us soon.
She is. She's coming this week.
Saturday. She arrives. She's coming this week.
But, uh, anyway, um,
then what our AC does...
What? Nothing.
Our AC will just start pouring out water.
Like, all three of them. Well, not the one in the living room,
but the one in my room and your room. They'll just start fucking pouring out water. Like, three of them. Well, not the one in the living room, but the one in my room and your room.
They'll just start fucking pouring out water, like out of nowhere.
I wish it was at a convenience, like, hey, I'm thirsty.
Yeah, exactly, and I could just walk over and get my little chalice,
fill it up with some AC water, take a sip.
But they keep doing that, and it's pouring water all over the floor
and warping the wood, and I'm getting really scared
that I'm going to get charged for that.
But we know how all of you love a good talk about air conditioning
unit malfunctions and we glad that we could supply you with that absolutely um we're sorry
this is gonna be one of the shorterish episodes of the podcast no i know because uh you know
