You know what's crazy? Think about this. We're sitting here right now in this room. And it's episode 194 of the Super Megacast. Yeah, and it is episode 194 of the Super Megacast, but we're speaking and are ready for this? Yeah, and it is episode 194 of the Super Megacast, but we're speaking and our, ready for this?

The vibrations, so we have a thought, right? Yeah. The thought then comes out via vibrations, via our voice. Because our brain signals our, like, vocal cords and tongue and mouth. Everything to generate these words which it thought of. Then it goes into this microphone, and that data travels down this little cable down there into the mixer and it converts it to this data. Through the USB? Yeah. Into the computer? Into the computer, which then it's data at that point.

And then that data... The computer's saying something. Hold up. What? I know. Hold up. Is he giving us sass? Let's call this one off your list. Windows as a service and updates are normal. Tell that little bitch not to update. Anyway, that goes into the computer then we have to send it over uh to be edited on our other computers so we send it up to a fucking satellite and back down down to a satellite and then we

edit it and then we send it back up to a satellite and then it hits servers which are stored somewhere which then sends it across satellites and and hundreds of thousands of people's devices and then so our voice is traveling quite a quite a large distance across this where you just was that simply just to explain that this the simple like basically you extrapolated from the simple phrase our podcast releases on a certain day of the week and is listened to by like a lot of people or whatever well just the process so you went is like so our voice travels into the microphone i was going about to the mixer which then i was thinking about the physical okay okay of everything i thought i thought you were just taking some weird route like long roundabout way to like just say yeah a lot of people listen to our

podcast and the crazy thing is like it's like if our voices are going up into space and back down like the data is for sure i'm not sure our voice what's our voice the data is our voice i mean yeah it's insane dude we're echoing through space like you you're sitting in your 747 flying across the country. Our voice will fly right by your window. That's why we're trying to figure out and try to find other radio waves. Someone's talking to us. We should send our podcast into deep space. We should, like, get one of those big...

Create a super mega capsule? No, not even, like, launch into space. Get, like, a radio tower that just shoots a feed of our podcast into deep space. So maybe 200,000 years from now, some advanced civilization will detect it. How expensive do you reckon that would be to get a device that would shoot our podcast into deep space? Because space is so big that deep space is unfathomable for me to think of. I think maybe a couple hundred dollars. Yeah?

Yeah, get like a big, you can get a satellite. Just five miles into space should cover us. There's a satellite on top of my house that I've never used. I guess it's from like the people that used to live there. We can just take that and point it, it's already pointed at space. Yeah. Just, we can rig it up and just put some tinfoil on it so it goes farther, you know?

How about we turn our podcast into like our sound waves into light molecules that way it'll travel faster. Ooh. Way faster than just the... And they'll see what we're saying instead of just hearing it. They can actually see the podcast. Yeah. It'll be beautiful. Goddamn. Well, 194

194 the big number you guys have all Yeah. It'll be beautiful. Goddamn. Well, 194. 194, the big number you guys have all been waiting for. Yeah. This is the one that we've hyped up for years now. I've said, wait until episode 194, guys. It's going to be some big shit. And here we are. The crazy thing about 194, you flip one of the numbers in there. It's 164.

And if those remember 164 of the podcast, that was a crazy time. Crazy one. Same if you do 149. What a crazy episode that was. Yeah. The one right before 150. It's ridiculous.

God damn. It was almost like the right before. It was like on the precipice before a new era. When people say, oh, I'm listening back from the very beginning of the podcast, it makes me cringe a little bit i'm like oh man those early episodes like i feel like i was so unfunny and just oh i feel like that's gonna like imagine if we're still doing this five years from now we're gonna be

looking at like this episode yeah like yeah yikes yikes goinks goinks that's the new uh can people tell like can people hear our our humor change i wonder like from episode because someone i saw someone recently uh i think that they're a trucker or something and they said that they listened to took them three months but they listened from episode it wasn't the guy who was uh overseas or whatever in the military because there was someone that on our subreddit that was like hey i'm an active duty. And because of COVID, I've been stuck on this ship. Duty. Yeah. I've been stuck on this ship.

And your podcast, I listen to every morning or something. I was like, oh, that's super sweet. Glad we could help a manly man be entertained. Help a macho man out in the Navy on a big ship with his muscular hunk brothers. Pumping iron. With his big guns and his big cock and his big brothers. You know he's got a big cock. That guy's on a ship in the middle of the ocean right now.

Just doing military shit and hanging out with nothing but dudes. So bravo to you. Thank you for listening. And I can't believe you listened to all 190 something episodes. That's dedication. I couldn't do that. Was there a trucker that you were talking about yeah there was someone that said it took them three months but they they got all the episodes oh now they haven't they don't really have any

any content they can listen to our let's plays without watching well they have uh they've actually lost the meaning of life now fuck because they for three months they were at the highest they've ever been and now they they just have absolutely nothing in their life i remember back in the day when i was uh going through uh much turmoil in my life the only thing that could save me was uh watching someone play a game in a way that i disagreed with but still laughing at the jokes they made it really brought me a brought a tear to my eye and showed me that life is is more than what i thought it was i've been I actually feel that way a little bit. Not what you said. Not about the gaming. While you watch Let's Plays? No, not about Let's Plays, but I've been, I've been binging 90 Day Fiance. And now that I'm all,

I caught up two days ago and now that I'm all caught up, I just keep having this feeling where I'm like, oh man, I have to wait. And I just feel like I finally found something during quarantine that made me, like, really excited. And I was having a good time watching it. It's the new season with Big Ed and everything. And then I. But his story is almost closed. Or it is closed. I'm not sure.

What about Baby Janine or whatever her name is? Baby Lisa, dude. Where did you get Janine from? I don't know. It's a girl's name. Lisa. You knew exactly what i was talking about so well you knew so baby i got my point across but you know i finally had like something to binge because i don't really like binging shows or it's hard for me to get into

shows and i was like yeah i love this and then now it's all done for now i gotta wait a week now for the next episode and it's just the last trash tv i binged was the circle i watched the american circle then i watched the the circle brazil and a circle that's how they always do it i love when a circle they take like a tv show and syndicate it to another country so i think it started out in like before the u.s i thought it was in like France and Brazil possibly and then the US I don't know I thought the US one was a little more new when are we getting like super mega Brazil

maybe I'm wrong or like super mega like Smosh Espanol oh El Smosh shut up cartoons dude what about El Smosh they have a French one too where someone just dubs all the Smosh videos I mean that's very smart because there's a huge audience in Latin American countries. Why not Chinese Super Mega?

We already have that guy that does the laughs. Well, he's Japanese. Oh, well, never mind. We could do Japanese Super Mega. We could do Japanese Super Mega. If we did Chinese Super Mega. See, I was really hoping it was Chinese because then we could get into the Chinese market, which is billions of billions of billions

of millions of dollars. I imagine if you took all of our content from the very beginning and then they had to translate to Chinese, the amount of stuff that would be censored out would probably leave you with maybe like a five minute video. You talk about their president sometimes.

I think we called him Pooh Bear at one point. A lot of people call him Pooh Bear. You get in trouble for that. Yeah? What are they going to do? Ban my TikTok account? They could send someone over here to knock on your door. Like, hey, I'm here to do your lights, your electrical.

I'm the electrician your landlord called. And then you're like, all right, just come on in. And then he comes in and he throws a hatchet into your neck. Do you think the Chinese government is more than capable of in secret without being found out, assassinating you or I without a trace of evidence for our government or anybody else to follow? Probably. It makes you wonder how many times that's happened then, huh? It does. It's freaky.

I'm sure that that happens on American soil. It happens in probably every country. They'll send people from other countries that will just slip under the radar and do something for their government and then go back. And they never get caught. Oops, coronavirus is bad. Never mind, he didn't say it. He said coronavirus was epic. Coronavirus is pretty epic.

That's my interpretation of the Chinese government. Oops. coronavirus is pretty epic that's that's my interpretation of the chinese government it's just weird because when sometimes i feel like when you criticize a government the people take it as you're criticizing the people like when you criticize like when uh the american government is criticized you see a lot of americans going why do you hate americans so much the same way as like if if you were to you know talk about the chinese government or talk about any other form of government it's like what do you have against the chinese brother here i'll say this chinese people

very epic chinese government not very see it's very simple yeah very very it's that simple the chinese people very epic very Some of them are not epic. Some of them are murderers, are pedophiles, just like Americans. Nope. Not in America. None of that. I don't want to defend the criminals of each region, but. The good people are epic.

The good Chinese people. Then what's good? What do you deem is good oh i'm pretty sure molesting children is not good um uh yeah by our western values is it there the only podcast for maps super mega cast i'm sure there are cultures out there that celebrate young boy love and it's just a part of their culture my dad was trying to tell me he's like you know i just got into this young boy love no no no son i've actually discovered something recently oh god no my dad was trying to tell me uh he's like you know son they're already starting the movement for uh for grown men and young boys to be accepted have you heard of nambla and i'm

like who the fuck takes nambla seriously maps Maps is another one, right? Maps is a minor attracted person, which is, I guess, that subsect of Twitter that's like, yeah, we're pedophiles, but it's okay. We're not ever going to do anything about it. We just want to be accepted, normalized. It's like, bro. You know how some people are attracted to elderly

women and elderly people? I'm attracted to the exact opposite. Oops. Whoops. And people put it in their bios. It might be against the law, I guess, but who knows? I'm having fun.

Yeah, I'm a map. So what? Cue no context. Oh, my God. Let's cut that out of context. The only podcast for maps. Hey, guys, we just wanted to say we support maps and any...

Looking back on Dora, the The song's like I'm the map Like okay, bro. Philly what's up? You beautiful bastards today We are talking about Ryan McGee and Matt Watson of a channel formerly known as markiplier game. I mean super mega map apply Mapsepticeye How about that one? Maps Films Map Mofo

Maps Mofo Map Gundacker There's a lot of good ones out there It's very easy to actually do it Map Watson Boom, there it is Yeah Can't wait for that one to catch on

Ryan Mamap You know Ryan Mapgee Mapgee That's even better that's even better that's even better um there's a

shit wow I didn't realize it was that easy we're starting a new club it's called the most awesome people club ninja the map

you can't really you know map his name so I had to fit it in there we are in no way saying any of these people are maps but who's to say

they aren't I'm kidding they've never defended themselves so how But who's to say they aren't? I'm kidding. They built the beam. They've never defended themselves. So how are we supposed to know? They've never not said that they weren't. Map grumps.

Could you imagine someone who's like, starts an argument with, yeah, so, my friend Matt's a pedophile. Wait, what? Matt's a pedophile? He's never said it explicitly,

but he's never not said it. That's true. Think about that logic. Lord map seven. It's too easy, man. For us, it is super map. God, why is that a thing? It's like my favorite ones are the people that try to include P in LGBT.

It's like LGBT P. it's like, LGBTP. We're part of that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, bro, no. What are the stems? What is file? What is the stem for file? A lover.

Is it? Someone that's attracted to something. So child lover. Yes. If you love music, you're an audiophile. Cinephile. Cinephile. You love film.

Pedophile. You love children. See, that's the thing. Autophilic. Cinephile. Cinephile. You love film. Pedophile. You love children. So a lot of people who work in daycare could self-describe themselves as pedophiles. Technically, yeah. I love children. Yeah, I'm a pedophile. I love children. No, not like that.

No, I'm trying to reclaim the word pedophile. Some guy that works at a daycare. Yeah, so my name is Jake. I work at a daycare, and I am a pedophile. No, not like that. I just I love children. I want to reclaim that word for the innocent people who just love children and not in a weird way. In fact, in fact, we have a famous guest here to speak today. Unfortunately, he's only able to come through Skype. Jordan Peterson, what do you think of this recent situation? So now in daycare centers, you can't touch the kids. It's like, what the hell? Thank you, Mr. Peterson.

Very valid point right there. Jerry Seinfeld. Because he did actually used to work in daycare. Jordan Peterson? Yeah. Used to work at a daycare center. I'm thinking about Quentin Supermega just going to go work at a daycare. I'm not. Okay, well that's your choice. That's your decision. Have fun with that.

I will. I love children. I'm going to be done. I'm done giving people soundbites to snip out without context. Yeah. I only did that with Jordan because it was too good of a... I had to snip it. I was listening to this little lecture of his. I was listening to him talk

and I heard that and I went, whoop, meantime. Just like I forgot what I was saying. I was taking a sip of my Starbucks peach green tea and it just washed my watered down piss. It does look like watered down piss. No, actually, no, it doesn't. That looks like really concentrated

piss. That's like, if your piss is that dark, then you got to hydrate. That's some dark piss. Yeah, but you've seen piss worse than that. Have you seen like the dark yellow, like where it looks kind of like, like kind of old, crusty, mellow yellow? I've seen Tom Pearl's videos, Ryan. Yeah.

Trust me. You also have a... No, I don't. You don't want to talk about that? I don't want to talk about that. Why don't you want to talk about it? Because the things that go on in my house are to stay within the framework. Yeah, but I think it's interesting and I think

everybody else would think it was interesting. No, I don't think so. Why not? I think we're good. I don't think when you're talking about any piss related bags in my house. Well, now I guess unfortunately people are just going to have to guess what it is and it's up to their brain.

I guess they'll have to. It's all perfectly valid I promise it's not a tank of piss I'm storing in my house that I've been slowly filling up for the last two years. He is right it's not a tank. It's a bag No It's a container. It's a container It's a uh it's one of those uh

plastic storage bins. Has it separated yet? Yes it has. It's one of those plastic storage bins. So what separates? I don't know. Okay, I guess I'll tell it now because Ryan has twisted my wrist. None of the piss is mine. It's all Harrison's. Yes. Harrison, when you

think of Harrison, the first image is like very artful guy who loves wine and is really good at cooking and really enjoys French cinema. Continue. Well, see, I ordered Popeye's one night and I was like, damn, I'm going to get a, they have a, I can just get a gallon of sweet tea. So I got a bag. It comes in a bag, like a, like a plastic, I don't know how to describe it.

It's like a, not like a trash bag. Looks like a giant IV bag with the Popeye's logo on it. Exactly. With a screw on top. And I bet Harrison, I said, I bet you can't fill this whole thing with piss. I mean, so like I was the one that birthed this whole thing. He said, watch me.

And within a couple of days, he had filled it with piss. And we were going to throw it away. And then I said, wait a second. Like Harrison was like, this is disgusting. I'm going to throw it away. I was like, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. How rare is it to have a bag of piss like this? Like that's sealed off just a perfect bag of piss.

What can, like, we can do something with this. We can, you know. So now it's kind of become a science experiment where we've set it aside and we just want to see how long, like, what happens to piss after a long time. I just, so many people listening are like, what the fuck? So what has happened? Well, you should have given this piss to that channel that you like so much. The time lapse channel. See, I'm trying to do that myself right now.

Do you have a time lapse camera set up for the night? No, I just have been using my brain. It's very dark. It's changed colors. It's actually becoming the color of the Popeye's orange on the bag. My favorite part is when you told Carson, the youngest Tucker brother, you told Carson that Harrison was making a wine. Yes. So Carson had just come back from the airport after being gone for like a month and a half.

And he sees the bag and he's like, what's that? And Harrison's like, oh, yeah, I'm making plum wine. Check this out. Like, smell it. Smell it. Smell it. And we open it up and go, oh, whoa. And we're like, oh yeah, I'm making plum wine. Check this out. Like smell it. Smell it. And we open it up and he goes, oh, whoa. And we're like, yeah, that's piss.

And you smelled it and you started gagging. Yeah, I did. You said it. I haven't smelled it. It filled the room. You said I would not be able to handle it. Because you know how my gag reflex is. My tolerance for what makes me gag.

It's very high. And yours is very low. And if that made me gag, like horribly. I'd throw up instantly it's really bad because the piss stays in your throat I'm sure in your nostrils so when you smell something is that actually like physical

particles or is it just some kind of stimulation I mean the particles are traveling that's what smell is right so is it actually the physical particles of whatever you're smelling? I feel like in this case it would be. It would be different to say if you were...

I don't know. What is smell? Because when you're cooking a steak and you smell it from like five yards away, you're definitely smelling that steak. Well, think about it. Because when you're cooking steak, the little tiny particles from let's say cooking it off the grill yeah it's being cooked off like the bits of moisture going up in the air and floating away i think of a restaurant you know when you're out in the streets of la or wherever is busy and has food you smell the delicious food

you're like fuck what is that what is so yeah what is, like, at the most basic form, what is smell? Okay. Is it the carrying of microscopic particles of a certain thing, thus giving us information? It's crazy, actually, because when you think about the senses, you are unable to describe any of them. Like, if you had to describe them to someone that didn't have it, like if someone that was born without a sense of smell, how would you be able to describe smell? Like taste? Well, yeah, because smell is very linked to taste.

I mean, it's one of the big factors. But even hearing or seeing, like if someone didn't have that, you couldn't explain that to them. So that makes me wonder, like, kind of on the last podcast note, like, how many things exist or just are out there that we can't comprehend. Here we go.

I'll tell you what it is. The perception of odors or sense of smell is mediated by the olfactory nerve. The olfactory receptor, OR, cells are neurons present in the olfactory, I'm not even going to try to pronounce that, which is a small patch of tissue at the back of the nasal cavity. It's telling us what helps us smell, but like what are we smelling? Well, yeah, here we go. There are millions of OR's telling us what helps us smell, but like, what are we smelling? Well, yeah, here we go. There are millions of OR neurons

that act as sensory signaling cells. Each neuron has cilia. So cilia are like those little hairs in direct contact with the air. Odorous molecules bind to receptor proteins extending from cilia and act as a chemical stimulus initiating electric signals

that travel along the nerves, axons to the brain. Alright. So when an electrical signal reaches a threshold, the neuron fires, which sends a signal to the brain. But I still want to know, like, is it,

is smell, like, is it actually, so they're molecules, but are they, like, vaporized odor molecules? Why does something produce, vaporized why does something produce like why does something produce a smell is that what you're trying to get at like when when i when you take a shit is what i want to know is that is that like poop particles entering my nose and that's why i'm smelling it like what creates the aroma is that what you're that's what you're trying to get at yeah i'm trying to figure out like what like what's coming from say why do things smell that's a good one on my whole my

phone why do things smell okay first suggestion is fart smell poop particles um but i don't know what happened i clicked it and it changed my google search to is smelt a word hold on one second what is what is well smell at the base of it is just chemical reactions right right so i'm wondering like gases is it just basic like you're not actually smell like smelling it's not actually particles of that but it's more of like the organic compounds stimulating the nerves in a certain way to make your brain react to that thing. You ever thought about, like, is smell the same for everyone? Or, like, color? Because, you know, that whole thing where it's like, what if your blue

is my red, but that's just your normal? See, here's the thing. Like, I don't feel like it's as extravagant or, sorry, it's as different as my blue is your red. I feel like we do, unless you're colorblind see all colors kind of the pretty much generally the same but i mean it comes down to really just like us as

humans we build preferences for no reason right like i mean you have your reasons but there's no there's no really precise reason why i like blue over another color. It's like, I do. That's interesting. I wonder what is the basis like in your brain for preferences, right? Because you could say your favorite color is blue and I could say my favorite color is green. And we wouldn't be able to explain why. But why does it visually appeal to you? Like, how come someone's favorite color is yellow?

But I'm like, why would that be your favorite color out of like even above green, red, blue? Yeah. Angie has made it easier than ever to connect with skilled professionals to get all your jobs, projects done well. I absolutely love this because you know, if you own a home,

Like me, who's recording this while snacking. Ooh, delicious. Try the roasted red pepper and Swiss or caramelized onion and Parmesan pinwheels only at Tim's at participating restaurants in Canada for a limited time. Would you say blue is the most common popular color, like favorite color?

Maybe. In my experience, it seems like it's always blue with people. And I love blue. Blue's beautiful. I feel like it's usually from what I've garnered, blue, red, green are the three top colors. Yeah. And then you'll have the outliers, which will say like purple, black, orange. Black. I knew someone that their favorite color was black, which I get. I mean, black is a cool color. My favorite colors right now are just any earth tones.

Like, you know, there's greens uh well greens or blue just anything like clay colors yeah those and uh i think just natural colors i like a lot like so you can say blue just anything that like is very i like i like saturated i think more than more than like faded yeah i've never ever ever ever had a favorite color i've never been able to make my mind up on what because every time i think i have a favorite color i second guess it i'm like yeah but this color is really good too when i was a kid i had like my favorite colors it switched between like uh blue and white i I think. Because I liked I just liked the look of it in video games when you

got to have choose your Halo armor in Halo 3. I'd be like, whoa, all white Halo armor. That looks badass. Black and white are both very sleek colors. I like black more than white now. Because I am not a racist.

Exactly. Same here. I here for the black yes i support black um i for a long time my favorite color i did have a favorite color in part of elementary school middle school which was yellow but yellow as in not like uh school but or not like school bus right yellow but more like macaroni orange type of yeah kind of like the more golden yellow yeah like i know what you're talking about like a number two pencil like that was my favorite color for a very long time and now as i've gotten older like i still really like yellow but it uh it's funny how colors make you feel emotions yeah like it's just a different uh wavelength of light but it makes you feel different things like that's why fast food

restaurants uh have a lot of red because red apparently makes you hungry. Well, red and yellow. Yeah, both those colors kind of stimulate that. Yellow for how fast your eye reacts to that color and red because it's been proven to make you hungry. Which is why school buses are yellow because it's the first color your brain notices. That's why it's funny when they hit children.

Exactly. And then it's like, how did you not see it? And then orange stimulates like adrenaline, I think. So orange gets you kind of like pumped. Okay. Purple apparently is supposed

to give you more confidence. I've heard that wear purple on a date. But there's such a big spectrum, right? You can't just like go to someone, like these aren't like abilities in a video game. It's like I cast,

you can't hold up a purple sheet and all of a sudden it's like confident yeah yeah but these are colors that like i guess subconsciously triggered help because i i would say that i mean when i grew up like at my dad's house uh well we moved several times but at the one that i lived in when I was in high school, my room was – the walls were blue and gray. And like the ceiling was kind of grayish or white or whatever. So very cool, calm. At my mom's house, my walls were just red. Dude.

My bedspread was red and white. I hate that. I know. I had a friend who had a bedroom and the walls were just red. It made me – it gave me anxiety. I go back to it and I'm like, good lord, this was a lot. But it's because when I was young, you know when you're young, you develop obsessions over the most minuscule things. I had an obsession with collecting different eras of Coke bottles.

There were some Coke bottles that were completely spherical in the center but still long on either end. I just thought it was cool, the difference. And so I had a Coke clock. I liked Coke red. I really liked the, because whenever I thought of Coke red, I just thought of delicious Coke on ice. I love red.

Red is one of my favorite colors, but like there's something about being surrounded by it is very like, gives me anxiety, I think. Same with a dark green would give me anxiety. A dark green, I feel like sage would make me feel more calm, like I'm in a dark forest. Here's something interesting. Warm colors and cool colors. When you're in a space where the walls are warm color, you actually feel that the temperature is warmer than you would in a space with cool colors,

even though the temperature is the exact same. That's interesting. And we are naturally more drawn to warm colors, apparently, such as reds and oranges. So they're good colors to put at the end of a long hallway to use to draw people towards a particular section of large space. Putting a light color on a wall makes that wall seem a little further away than it actually is, while darker colors make

them seem closer to their true position. I guess that's true, because if my room, like, if this room was painted black, I think it would feel a lot smaller than, like, if it was painted white. Yes. You know? Because I guess, like, black makes it feel like you're, like, boxed in. Well, think about, like, the difference, uh, the one boxed in well well think about like the difference uh

the the one big difference i can really think about is think of when you and me and mark and daniel all live together remember daniel's room when he had his blinds shut in his windows with the blackout curtains shut it looked like a small room you're like oh he got the smallest room it wasn't though no but when he opened up his windows like it just felt bigger yeah like there was more room to like lay out even though it's the same shit. When I open my blinds in my room, my room feels like it's like I like opening up my windows and blinds because it makes your room feel

like just bigger. You know, it's like you have more space to think. Yeah. Here's a here's actually a short little list of rigorous research has revealed the special powers of particular colors. And this is an article by Psychology Today, which is a pretty trusted source. They actually just published a thing about Ninja Brian.

Oh, wow. And how gay he is. All right. Green. Seeing the color green has been linked to more creative thinking. So greens are good options for home, offices, art studios, et cetera. Red. People see others in front of red backgrounds generally find those individuals more attractive than when they see them against other colors.

So reds are great for a bedroom wall. Having a red surface in view also gives a burst of strength. So reds are a good choice for home gym areas, etc. Seeing red has been linked to impaired analytical reasoning, though, making it a bad option for offices. So I got to make my background of my profile picture red. Sorry, I just saw something and i just got a little flutter of happiness i was like oh wow that's super nice rockcock 64 oh i love added us on on twitter talking about because this is something you know how you and i have been

wanting to do kind of like more live action so we found a way to kind of like on a whim we just decided to do like a mini sketch for the Resident Evil episode. He was just saying how much he enjoyed that and how it adds, in his words, adds a little pepper to the Let's Plays. Aw. I love Rockhawk. Rockhawk is a really sweet dude. Yeah. Super nice.

I don't know. It's just, like, I know, like, it's weird because I'm making a big deal out of like, oh, he said something nice. It's like, yeah, but you forget how often Matt and I mostly just see negativity because that's what sticks out. And so it's nice to see that shit. One negative comment sticks out more than 100 positive comments. But that's because we're pussies. Yeah, exactly. But Rockhawks are really cool dudes. Also, it's just weird to me when people that I actually like

and admire watch our stuff. Because he's a funny fucking dude. Yeah, so then when I seeawks are really cool. Also, it's just weird to me when people that like I actually like and admire watch our stuff. Because he's a funny fucking dude. Yeah. So then when I see like he watches us, I'm like, oh, what? I know. Let me let me finish this real quick. Let's see. Violet.

People link a grayish violet with sophistication. So it can be a good selection for places where you're trying to make the right impression. That's good because people use a lot of violet for their weddings and stuff, too. OK. Like when I think of a wedding, I think of kind of like a lot of violet for their weddings and stuff, too. Okay. Like when I think of a wedding, I think of kind of like a gray and violet color combination. Yeah, violet. Violet, maybe like a powder blue, whites, lots of whites. Yellow, using yellow in a home can be problematic.

It might say the N-word. Many people dislike the color, so if you have a lot of yellow rooms in your home or a yellow front door, you may be advised to repaint to get the best price for your home. Yeah, I'm not a big fan of yellow walls. Yeah, I know. Yellow walls feel – I used to have them, though, because it was on that – you know that vanilla that's more on the tinge of yellow than white, I guess? You know, French vanilla, yellow type of – Kind of like beige?

Yeah, beige, but it's really more on that yellow side like a cream those are the walls that i used to have i think in my old home and i just remember like vanilla i have a certain nostalgia link to that yellow with those walls it's like warm and you know like warm memories this says yellow uh is accepted in kitchens a lot because warm colors stimulate appetite yeah yellow in kitchen makes sense or even a bathroom yeah but bathroom i usually think more like aqua or like mint, uh, or even like a, like a faded color blue. And the last one is blue. People are more likely to tell you that blue is their favorite color than any other shade that makes it a safe choice.

Seeing blue also brings thoughts of trustworthiness to mind. Always a good thing. Okay. Interesting. There's two types of people that when, when they hear that most people think blue is their favorite color. There's the type of person that, that will go, good thing. I like purple. I'm not, I'm not a sheep like you blue loving people. And then there's the people who legitimately like blue and hear that and go, no, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not special. Oh no. Relax. If you like blue, it's fine. There's a reason why blue is loved. It's a great color. It's a pretty color. It's a wonderful color. Okay.

I remember this growing up because growing up in South Carolina as a kid, I remember that like, you know, being gay was especially back when we were growing up was something that was like you would get made fun of for. You didn't want to be looked at as girly or gay. And I remember being told by a lot of guys that purple was the gay color. Like purple was the gay color. And I brought that up to Carson recently and he said he never heard that. Do you ever remember hearing that, that purple was the gay color? I remember at my school there was a stint where like there was the whole craze of only real men wear pink. And thus, out of that, purple was now the gay color.

Because a lot of the jocks would wear pink polos or stuff like that. But then purple became the gay color. Even though purple is very closely linked to, I think, what is it? I forget. Oh, well. Barney. Yeah. Purple is one of my favorite colors.

Pink's a nice color. You're wearing a pink shirt right now. It's Don's art. I want Don to release more like muscle shirt, or I guess not muscle shirt, tank top merch. Because I really like this shirt. This is one of, I will say this, and Don is not ever going to hear this, and I don't care. But this is honestly probably my favorite shirt I own. It looks great.

The colors are fantastic. It adds color, and I barely wear color. It's comfortable as fuck. It looks nice. I like the design of it it's not too abrasive it's just like it's just a nice shirt what and what is okay this is and it's cassette girl and i love that character of his he he should want him to do more merch because i really love this shirt and i'm i'm afraid for the day that it fades fully well it looks like it's screen printed maybe so it's it's not it

has not faded yet yeah i have a question what we talked about this in a recent podcast uh so you know how like when humans see for instance that shirt looks really nice because those colors go together but what makes colors go together like you can't really explain why, I guess. Same as music. When you hear a certain set of notes formed together to make a chord, it sounds pleasing. And every, like everyone can agree. If you put three notes together that don't match,

it sounds bad. It sounds weird. Or it's art. Yeah. But do you think aliens, like if there were another, they would, would they come to the same conclusions?

Would music still be the same? Would like, would color combinations in their mind still, obviously they'd be a little bit different. Are you trying to like, you're basically, you're asking, is there a, is there an unknown yet universal acceptance to certain types of like music or color combinations? Yeah. of like music or color combinations. Yeah. Like, is there without us a unit of like an objective way of looking at things to be, I guess, not better, but more pleasing, more pleasing to the eye.

Like would aliens, let's say an alien, an advanced alien race exists. Would they find the same set of color combinations that humans find pleasing, pleasing? Would they find the same? of color combinations that humans find pleasing, pleasing? Would they find the same? Maybe not because the way that evolution took their quote-unquote alien race has led them and their brains to not recognize red as hunger or not recognize these colors as certain things. Subconsciously, their culture and everything surrounding that stuff would be different. Or their eyes could have even evolved differently so they see color differently yeah and i wonder if uh because

there are colors we don't see i feel like there are colors that fish see that we can't see right i don't fish can see better than we can there there are colors that exist that we cannot see and that blows my mind like what would that look like but i think when we think of colors that we can't see are we thinking of like another primary like there's an like when you think of red blue green orange you know those main colors is there another one of those or the colors that we can't see are we thinking of like another primary like there's an like when you think of red blue green orange you know those main colors is there another one of those or the colors that we can't see are they just a certain hue of a color that our eyes can't pick up

it's actually I'm pretty sure that infrared and ultraviolet and ultraviolet I think are both colors let me see this real quick like when you put something negative no like infrared. Infrared is Okay, hold on. Red, green, and yellow, blue are so-called forbidden colors.

I thought infrared was, is it not based on heat? Well, no, infrared, think about like there's waveforms and colors are different lengths of waveforms. There's ones that our eyes can't see but are still outside of the realm of what we can see and I'm pretty sure infrared and ultraviolet are both. Let me see.

Hold on. Try to imagine reddish green, not the dull brown you get when you mix the two pigments together, but rather a color that is somewhat like red and somewhat like green. Or instead, try to picture yellowish blue, not green, but a hue similar to both yellow and blue. Is your mind drawing a blank? That's because even though those colors exist, you've probably never seen them. Red, green, and yellow-blue are so-called forbidden colors composed of pairs of hues is your mind drawing a blank. That's because even though those colors exist, you've probably never seen them. Red, green, and yellow, blue are so-called forbidden colors composed of pairs of hues whose light frequencies

automatically cancel each other out in the human eye. They're supposed to be impossible to see simultaneously, yet they exist. Interesting. It's because the cells in your retina, called the opponent neurons, fire when stimulated by incoming red light, and this flurry of activity tells the

brain we're looking at something red those same opponent neurons are inhibited by green light and the absence of activity tells the brain we're seeing green interesting I remember when I was a kid I was like when I go to heaven I want to see colors that I've never seen I mean it could be heaven you know you never know I wonder if we'll ever be able to advance technology enough where like they can replace our eyes with like one that could see more colors. No, well, that's that is actually a topic that is very interesting that you bring it up because you're you're thinking of just the eye. But I don't mean to word it like that because that just means that you're not thinking of it in the larger scale. I don't mean to word it like that because that just means that you're not thinking of it in the larger scale. What I mean is there is actual discussion of, well, when will bionic limbs just be better than regular legs or arms? And will rich people or will people at a certain point in the future end up buying, quote unquote, fake limbs or eyes or things that work better and last longer because what we have is you have to like maintain it you have to

do certain things to keep them to a certain strength or looking a certain way or uh you can't possibly achieve the speed with your regular legs that you could with these new bionic legs yeah basically like upgrading your body to more superior parts and one thing i never hear talked about anymore that was a big debate in the mid 2000s is stem cells like i think do you ever hear about stem cells anymore every now and then because it's still just i've heard a lot of good things about stem cells are like like it's like a miracle yes it's incredible you can grow it's like the closest thing to a medical miracle we have to to see with our own you can essentially like regrow a limb or let's say that like your kidney fails or your heart fails you can essentially like your body can repair it essentially with these cells because stem cells

if i'm if if i'm correct stem cells are basically like the root cell that can grow into kind of anything in the human body and they come from embryos and then the big debate is they're illegal because it's like oh well that's a human life that's you know yeah um but what if stem cells are illegal because stem cells are being used rich people use stem cells in in like these test uh things don't they i think so but i guess just in in the in general like let's say there's there's a kid uh because they say that, like, if you're blind, you could see again, hypothetically, with stem cells. Because it literally repairs the structural imbalance that was created. It's like you're regrowing that, like, your body is recreating what went wrong.

And I wonder, what if they're actually illegal because people realize they're too powerful? Because they could do anything with their bodies. They could become superhuman. I wonder if in our lifetime if genetic modifications are going to start becoming a center of debate. You know, like for instance, designer babies. That's already been a thing of debate like in China. Why does it always go to fucking babies? Why do we always have to mess with children, dude?

Because I don't think people see them as having, because I guess they don't have a say in it and they're not going to care. It's what people think. But in China, there's the whole thing about designer babies. I'm not saying that that argument's true, but the way that people are thinking about it is, yeah, I guess that's true. Because I don't agree with it. So essentially, maybe I'm thinking of it wrong and I'm thinking about it in a more abusive way than is intended. But what Shine is doing, it's essentially like a character customizer except it's like I want my baby to have these eyes and I want my baby to have this hair and I want my baby to have this and that. Yes.

hair and I want my baby to have this and that. Yes. And so here's the definition. A designer baby is a baby whose genetic makeup has been selected or altered often to include a particular gene and to remove genes associated with disease. Now, in that case, I'm all for that. If you're actually doing something to remove genes associated with disease, that's great because I guess hypothetically you could begin to eradicate certain diseases from existence. That's the next move, right test tube babies yeah um is just it's it's like what then then

in the future why would we you know why would women want to go through the intensive care and labor of birthing a child when they could easily create an artificial womb that that baby could live in. You know, in the future, are things just going to be, we're just producing babies now? Is it going to be like a factory? Like, are you going to be able to just go adopt a baby? Like you were like a plan and you don't even have to give birth. It's like you can like you give them your like a couple will give their sperm and egg

and then they can just basically design it. And then they don't even have a camera you can check on your artificial womb I think once that happens that's when we're in like the next level of humanity you know in the sense of like evolution like I think when we hit space that was one level and like the internet was another level and I think once people can

actually like genetically modify their child before it's born that's like another level of which is scary though because what happens if uh i i've talked about a tyrannical regime that takes a hold of that type of technology when you talk about oh um we're not we're only like think of a racist with that technology hey no more asian babies allowed asian babies are off limits against a lot of make in America. That like that type of shit.

Yeah. But what's also scary is I talked about this with Ross is once there's generations of these more perfect humans, because I guess like by design, if they're designed like they are more perfect than a regular human, they lack a lot of like genetic flaws that humans regular humans that are just born via sex would have and what happens if like they come together and they're like we are the superior humans and these are like flawed humans why why why are but they still share the same flaw as the other humans i think arrogance is the biggest flaw right yeah but you can't get rid of that with a gene no that that's what i'm saying they still do have flaws that would be their ego right and they still do have flaws but like genetically if if if like there would be like this would be like a new race yeah they have

like stronger muscles better eyesight uh less you know like they're resistant to all these diseases viruses the like essentially they would start uh kind like, think of one of them having a political rally and saying all of these regular humans are spreading diseases. They're holding us back. Yeah, they're holding us back. They're spawning these new diseases that we can't keep up with. While our genes are 100% not going to build up a disease over time, these humans are incubating these diseases and making life worse for our livestock. Maybe it's not even livestock anymore. Because if humans are fake, livestock would be fake.

We already have fake livestock. Because this already happens with plants and livestock. Cows are genetically engineered chickens to be bigger, to produce more meat, to grow faster than they already do. Same with GMOs. genetically engineered chickens to be bigger, to produce more meat, uh, to grow faster than they already do. Like same with, uh, like GMOs. I guess that's more of an abusive though. Like that, do they genetically change the chickens before they're born?

Yes. Okay. Because it's not, uh, cause I felt it was like much more of like overfeeding them and filling them with certain chemicals and shit that like they're essentially um building up these perfect chickens and then uh selectively breeding them to create their chickens that they want to continue yeah i mean that's what it is gmo is like genetically modified organism like corn for instance they have corn that is bigger grows faster. Some maize, yeah. That's crazy though. Like, I just wonder how far we will get into genetic modification before it becomes like,

because it already, GMOs already are a hot button issue with people. You know? But it's like these things where it's like, this is a new issue. We never thought of having to create rules for these issues because we didn't think these issues were around.

But now that these issues are starting to prop up, we need to start talking about the realistic impact that they might have. And another issue that will go alongside this one that I think we need to worry about AI. I think AI is going to be something that we're going to see because I wonder if later in our life there will start being the debate of AI rights. Can this thing actually feel? Because I do think it's possible to develop something complex enough where it actually feels.

But does it actually feel or are you programming it to act like it feels? But you could say the same about humans, right? Because we're programmed with DNA. That's what I'm saying. That's the line. Where is the line? Like, is the line, like, is the line...

That will be the debate. Yeah. Yeah. I think that... Because, like, you can talk right now, like, AI in video games. You can make AI stupid

and, like, they, it looks like they feel pain, but they don't feel pain. It's just code. Yeah. It's just like theatrics. But, like, where does, where does that change

from theatrics to actually creating a legitimate living, not even being, I guess being. Even if you are digital, that's a being. Well, could you say that? It has its own mind and makeup and thoughts. Because right now life is defined by being made up of cells. Do you think that will ever, people will try to redefine that to include computers as being alive? Because let's say that they do create something so advanced

that it's capable of feeling and thinking and determining right and wrong. In a way, it is alive. Like it's living, right? But it's not living because it's not made up of cells. But in a way, it kind of is. But it's not made up of technical cells. I think that's interesting.

And I feel like in the future, it'll be an issue where like, probably the left will be in support of AI rights and the right will be more against it. And it'll be that kind of debate. And we'll see that at presidential debates and stuff. Because it is weird. Like when you think of the theatrics of AI

and video games or anything else, it's like when you, because AI essentially from that case case because i'm strictly thinking of video games people are trying to improve ai and video games as it goes on and on and on and i'm not saying ai and video games will transgress into like the ai that you're talking about but just in a simple form of trying to understand it um ai is created in video games so that it will make the player work more and think more like now you know ai usually would probably just shoot at a character's location over time they've changed it to where ai will duck ai will try to flank um it thinks for itself yeah it'll it'll in some way try to impede

the player by thinking on its feet at, at, at that instant. At what point is that thinking on its feet regarded as not theatric, but as human or as, or as its own, um, property. Cause like your thought you, you own your thoughts type of thing.

Yes. Yeah. Like the scary thing is AI can get to a point where it is far superior to humanity. You know, it's like it can think a million times faster, come up with correct answers a million times faster. So it's like, well, it's that one. Isn't it like it's when it gets to that point where like that's where it's fucked. There's a singular moment. That's the singularity, right?

The singularity is just where it all breaks loose. Is that where it's fucked there there's a singular moment that's the singularity right the singularity is just where it all is that what it's called the singularity the moment that it sounds cool so let's just say it's called the singularity hold on i'm pretty sure it's called i'm pretty sure that the moment itself is called the singularity and it's supposed to happen by like 2045 or something technological singularity uh is a hypothetical point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible resulting in unforeseeable something technological singularity uh is a hypothetical point in time at which technological growth becomes uncontrollable and irreversible resulting in unforeseeable changes to human civilization so then the big question is when do we 2045 is is the predicted year that the singularity will take place and that's where they think then the ai will be like who am i that is

the what am that's the point when it becomes past humanity. Like when technology will suddenly pass humanity. So become like the next level of technology. 2045's not that far away. No, I mean, I'm thinking of like the difference in terms, I think we talked about this recently too,

but the difference in terms of what we perceive is like future technology because we're at this point of the technological revolution. Are we really just at a plateau point where all technology we can kind of feasibly see where it's going? Because when you think about people like my grandmother, like why would they ever think of like who like was living in the 40s? Why would they ever think of ipads or gmail yeah you know what i mean that's the thing is or i guess it's like mail that you could send through because at that point it's like what is the you're not thinking of internet you're not thinking of like what if we could send this wirelessly you don't know what wire like yeah wirelessly but like how

does that work yeah because the thing is you can't can't comprehend it. Or she wouldn't be able to comprehend it. Our generation, the one you and I were born in, I think has witnessed the biggest technological explosion of any generation 100, 200 years prior. Which is why in most schools, it's the students

that are teaching their teachers how to use their smart boards. Right, my mom is an elementary school teacher, and she'll tell me about some of her students and like what they're able to do on the computer and technologically. And I was like, bro, I was on kids pics and learning how to do Microsoft. I know. And then just thinking. I remember in middle school I was building websites and shit using HTML and all that.

Like my parents wouldn't even know that they're like, HTML, what kids are getting smarter and, or kids are getting smarter in the way that they're learning to utilize these tools at a younger age. Yes. And I think it's not necessarily becoming smarter as in more mature. Yeah.

But smarter as in like, uh, using tools to, uh, make life easier. And I think what's crazy is just the, what I think everyone overlooks is the massive change in technology

since we were 10 years old. When I think about your first cell phone and I think about the iPhone 11. Yeah. Did like, I remember asking my dad, do you think we'll ever have phones that are like computers? And now look at this,

the whole thing, like it's one screen that you just touch things well i remember having one computer in the house it was a tube monitor with you know how loud the desktops were and how slow the internet was now you can use the phone now you look at this it's crazy the like people really i think a lot of the times take their phone for granted it is is the most, the, the smartphone is probably the most like revolutionary invention in terms of like a product, because now everybody has the entire internet, every single piece of information that they could ever need to access or imagine at their fingertips, no matter where they are. It's, it's not even, it's also like not even a matter of, Oh, you have to be in a certain place. Like I can be driving

down the highway and look up an archive of like mammoth genetics or some stupid shit like that. We have more access to more information than anybody else ever has in the history of mankind, you know? And that's crazy's crazy i think because that is taken for granted a lot just the incredible broadness of information that we have access to like just everything you can like during this i was able to look up all these different things about colors and singularity well you remember there was that fight that our our school systems were having in terms of the information that was now available to everyone in their homes. And or having like when you had a book report, you would have to go to the library and check out several books.

And hopefully these books would have the information you needed. But all of a sudden Wikipedia came about. And yes, there were some problems with Wikipedia at the start in terms of trustfulness and all that. But there was also other places online where you could get this information. But teachers looked down on that information strictly because it was from the internet yeah yeah but but you can understand why but at the same time now you're able to use the internet and you know they i think um later in high school and then yeah it was it was kind of in high school where the school system started to adapt and they're like okay this is how you add websites to your bibliography.

Do you remember that Wikipedia was like, you could not touch Wikipedia for any school projects a long time ago. Remember Wikipedia was like, nope, you cannot even like Wikipedia was regarded as the, it was just all lies. It was all lies, the worst source.

And I personally see Wikipedia as a, as one of the best sources for information. Now, but if you remember when we were around elementary school, middle school, it was very debatable of like what information Wikipedia mods are intense. Now it's good. They have a good system. And of course, you can still find

there's still misinformation. I mean, we proved that with our star debacle because someone was able to change the actual short period, but then look at what happened. Yeah. I think Wikipedia is incredibly trustworthy. Obviously, there is misinformation on there. But I think today in 2020, if I want to know something, Wikipedia is a great place to find it because it's literally not only that.

But I think teachers failed to realize that Wikipedia, as you were saying, could be changed at an instant remember we were saying oh they can correct that if a book's wrong about something it's wrong they'd have to republish a whole new version and that's why you'll see books like I remember think about this the books that we had to use for instance the MLM

that we were forced to buy for $200 like my college textbook would be like 13th version or like 14th version and it's like so they had to change stuff 14 times yeah it's like why am I paying $200 for something that's just gonna get changed again I can't wait for all of those because eventually those books will the internet there's so much information out there and so much knowledge out there and about any subject that why do people need those books anymore

I tormented a lot of my which my dad was upset about but I'm like shouldn't be upset about that it's literally a rip off it's like no it's become it's eventually what school would become in a capitalist

society yes because it's like you need this information to do capitalist society. Yes. Because it's like, you need this information to do well in this class and you have to pay for it. And a lot of the times, actually the teachers have deals with the companies where they will get paid to make that book part of their, and I got to tell you, dude, all the books when I was in college that I had to pay for,

which was textbooks, there's like 400, $500. Yeah. I remember not using, I barely used them. Maybe like the first week, it's like, well, read this page. And then it's like, wow.

It's just because the schools have a deal with the fucking publishers probably. If you are able to find your college textbooks free online, go for it. Because I think that college textbooks are the biggest fucking ripoff. You have to pay for information that you have to use. I remember it became popular to like buy the used books because they were cheaper.

Then all of a sudden they introduced the books you could download from the app onto like your iPad. But they're still so fucking expensive. At least when I was looking at books on an electronic device. It's still expensive. I would share books like it's no longer about oh this is so many pages and a hard cover that you have to put money into making i guess this is literally just data that you're selling to me for about the same price now i don't know how this is in other countries but at least in america that's how it is and also what's stupid is like you're already paying thousands of dollars to take the class. Yeah. Why the fuck?

If I'm paying that much money to learn, why do I have to pay so much more to have access to something that is required? If it's required, I shouldn't have to pay for it. I think the books in high school, in college, they should be like this. This is how it should work. The school buys the books they want To be used in their curriculum And then the teachers Pass out those books to their students And the students don't eat any of that fucking cost

The school has more than enough money It's the school's job It's the school's job to supply Through other programs Through simply just tuition fees The school has enough money To take that dent of letting you use books as part of the curriculum.

The people that run the schools want to make money. And what's fucked up is, like, the money is there for these books to be free, but it's not going to be because someone wants to make money off of it. And it's just a business, you know? It's a business, yeah. And things like school, things like healthcare, like, that stuff shouldn't be business that should be like a

fundamental thing because that is what about food you think everyone deserves the right to to have a free steak every day for dinner yeah you know free steak you know if health's all right food must be all right is water all right matt is water all right does the government have to supply you with water water should be water literally one of the things that you will die if you don't have it for three days like it's crazy yeah like sometimes when i think about water being marketed and sold it's like who owns water you know it's a fucking regardless you are you're you're the only way you are getting free water is if you go to like an amusement park or Disney World and you ask for their little free cups of water because they are they it is mandatory for them to give you water. I still got to pay to get in.

Yes. I guess I could go to go to a creek, drink myself a cup of water, but you could use your own faucet. I guess people could argue that the water you're drinking, you're paying for to be it's it's processed, it's convenient. I bought a water bottle this morning, so it's like I'm not trying to be like, oh, fuck water. I just think it's an interesting concept. We can point out shit and be on the opposite side or same side of the argument. Yeah, it's just interesting to think about. These are things that a lot of people don't really think about. I like coming on the podcast with you and just kind of like talking about right

in the bullshit yeah just like being aware of things you know even though like yeah i'm still gonna probably buy another water bottle in the next week i'm still gonna pay my water bill but um i guess water bills make more sense because you know they are it's a service because it's actually going through pipes. Like heating, like electricity. It is a service you are paying for. Like, I doubt our district, you know, or any district really believes that people are going to generate their own electricity. No, I got my own.

My neighbor. I'm producing it myself. What pisses me off, what you were saying a second ago, is that my mom's a teacher. I'm producing it myself. What pisses me off, what you were saying a second ago, is that my mom's a teacher. She gets paid from the time school hours begin to the time school hours end, which is like 8 a.m. to 2.30. Yeah, but they're still grading papers and all that stuff. Yeah, and my mom, I remember, my mom will usually end up working until she goes to bed. She'll stay like two hours after school to grade papers.

Then she'll come home and grade more papers. She doesn't get paid for that. And she has to use her own money to buy supplies for the classroom. Let me ask you this. Are the students paid for homework? This is time that the school has relegated that they spend on school work when it's their personal time. Are they being paid, Matt? So I think your

mom can take this bullet. The thing is my mom has to spend hundreds of dollars every school year on, like, she has to get paper for the class. She has to get she has to get calculators and it's like my friend's not reimbursed for that yeah that's ridiculous gray has to do the same shit yeah and what's great what sucks is especially in in south carolina in in all of america but especially south carolina teachers are are viewed they are so underpaid. And it really- When it's such a valuable job.

Not, yes. There are some teachers who do not take their job seriously, who do hide behind the safety net of, oh, what's it called? There's a word for it. It's like job security for the tenure. A lot of teachers will hide behind, of a lot of uh teachers will hide behind

that not a lot but some will there are bad examples but when you see like a teacher that you know actually takes the time to like buy the necessary materials for their students like your mom or people that buy or the teachers that buy the necessary materials to make their class maybe more a fun engaging environment like my friends gray and hayden like you see like not the you see the cost that these people are giving to to potentially better the future of our nation and i know that's a broad stroke to be putting on what teachers do but i do believe that for sure you know it's what adults are is essentially, you know, a mixture of nature and nurture. And I'd say school is there equal to that of the parents time with that kid. And the school needs to take care of those.

Right. And, and my mom, for example, like she puts a lot of thought and actual energy because she wants to be a good teacher. Like for instance, like she, she had a Fortnite-themed classroom last

year, and I love that because she didn't have to, but it's like... Gray apparently had his solo and duo and wins and would count up as the school year went on just to be like, hey, these are how many wins I have on Fortnite. Do you guys have that many wins? Gray's too good at Fortnite.

Gray's really good at Fortnite. I just hate have that many wins? Yeah. Gray's too good at Fortnite. Gray's really good at Fortnite. It's stupid. I just hate seeing that my mom has done this for going on almost 30 years now. Yeah. And, you know, the amount...

My stepmom is in the same... She used to teach third grade and she works in the educational. Yeah, and it's just... The benefits suck. They're so... Underpaid. And some places pay teachers better,

but for instance, in South Carolina, it's shit. I'm sure private school teachers are having a good time. Oh, yeah. But the public school teachers like my mother, like our friends Gray and Hayden, South Carolina has horrible public education funding. And it keeps getting stripped more and more where they have to start stripping art programs and stuff. And that stuff is so important, think in a school like when they start stripping like music and art programs it's like which what so they can give the money to some other shit sports versus the arts right that's also a big i at least i remember in my school i don't know if you ever had fights in

between but there were like legitimate faculty heated discussions and debate that spread throughout the whole school about like the dance team versus the cheerleading team, the, the newspaper staff versus the baseball team. Like where's the funding going? How come these, these sports and these other activities get more funding than these lesser quote unquote,

lesser respected activities. I guess what, because in the South art isn't as respected as good old football or baseball. Rugby. Cheerleading. And it's frustrating. Dance, interpretive dance. That's gay.

I want to see my underage daughter with all of her friends shaking her ass. It sucks because the money. No judgment, the cheerleaders. There is the money to fund all of this stuff with more than enough funding funding but it doesn't get allocated to that yeah and it keeps getting cut but then there's the argument of the sports programs are what are also what bring a lot of money in for the school when you think of the people that come to the football games or the baseball games that buy the snacks at the at this at the snack bar and stuff like that, or the t-shirts, it does bring them more money than the newspaper staff ever will.

And so then the school goes, well, yeah, that's relegated. That should get more money. And maybe it should, but I don't think that should come at the cost of taking away certain avenues for young children to explore. Yeah. That's just the education system in America is horrible. Especially once you get to like universities and colleges. I couldn't make a better one.

I wouldn't even know where to start, but it sure needs to get better. So like, well, look at one of the 50 countries that does it better than us and maybe take a page out of their book, but that won't happen. Well,

it's also, you have to remember that, you know, the political system affects every other facet almost of society. Like capitalism is ingrained in every facet of society in America. Yeah. That's just the way it is. In our medicine, in our education um in our mental health even which is disgusting um did you see that uh i saw this yesterday like people were like there's this big sign for like covid testing like to get covid tested and the whole thing was a pepsi advertisement but also said like covid testing it was like what kind of dystopian

hell are we living in was that a tweet It was on Twitter and it was on Reddit. Okay. But it's just like the whole thing's a big Pepsi ad, but it's like COVID testing site brought to you by Pepsi. Well, I'm actually surprised. Pepsi has always taken

some interesting leaps forward with their advertising campaigns. Was it the Kylie Jenner commercial? Kylie Jenner. And now this one, which is, I haven't, I don't know if they're the first,

but they're one of the first. I don't think I've seen a company jump quickly to associate with a deadly disease such as covid. And I'm not saying they're trying to associate. They are promoting tests and stuff. But it is weird to see a Pepsi bottle next to the word covid. Well, could you imagine seeing Coca-Cola next to malaria? Make sure to get your malaria vaccine sponsored by Coca-Cola. We're talking about it, though, aren't we?

Yes. We're talking about Pepsi right now and hundreds of thousands of people. No, it works. It's marketing. But when you think of marketing, like one of the first rules is to not associate with yourself with something that would make the target audience kind of dissuade them from like, oh, when they think of Pepsi, they're going to think of COVID. But they're turning that on its head and they're just going, hey, we're trying to be helpful. Yeah, it's weird.

Anyway, guys, I think that's about all the time we got for this episode. Go pick out a favorite color. Go pet your computer. And make sure to watch Super Mega's number one favorite wrestling podcast getting it in raw with the Mucker Brothers the Mucker Brothers?

that's the alternate versions of the Tucker Brothers I made them all up real quick about that, the ads we're talking to our ad agency about we did not know that that many ads were going to be put on our podcast on Spotify YouTube is just going to be put on our podcast. On Spotify. On Spotify, at least.

YouTube is just going to be the actual ads that we record. But on our other versions on Spotify and Apple podcasts, other ads are inserted after we record the podcast. We give them time codes and there's a specific number of ads allotted, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But recently it seems like that's been a lot higher. There's a bit of a miscommunication between us and the ad read people and we're working it out so we don't want you guys to be super off put by

because we care about our Spotify listeners I don't want our fucking podcast to just be like a million fucking ads well I want the people who supported us on Spotify which was the lower fan base compared to youtube for the longest time i want to i don't want now it's doing really well yeah and also that's kind of what advertisers base uh on is like spotify and apple listens they don't really care that much

about youtube listens so for us to actually get deals to bring in more money to support the company it's like spotify numbers are important. And when people are getting turned off because too many ads are being inserted by a third party into our podcast, we don't want that. There's a dance and a balance to be made. Yeah. So we're working on that and we appreciate you guys sticking through it. You know, it's all new. It's all new. You know, there's no, there's no evil malevolent bad guy in this situation. Probably just comes down to misunderstanding and we're figuring it out. We appreciate the feedback. Thank you guys. Check us out on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, wherever you can find us.
