Welcome back to the Super Megacast.
This is a very special Super Megacast, only because of the number, not because of the content.
This is our 20th episode.
Yeah, believe us, guys, the content in this one is not going to be any better than any of the other ones.
It's just another one thing of us talking for a long time.
It's one of, you know.
They're probably worse.
You know, our podcast can be labeled as this.
Not long enough to be considered a podcast, but not short enough for anybody to care.
Exactly.
Now let's take a sip of our Fiji water together.
That is good.
Aesthetic water.
Now, do you think that's placebo working, or do you think it actually...
I actually like Fiji water.
I do like Fiji water, but to be honest,
you know, if you sat me down with, like, smart water...
Unsponsored, by the way.
If I had multiple bottled waters, unlabeled,
I wouldn't be able to tell the difference, so...
I thought you had a pretty good tongue for water.
Well, yeah, for, for like Los Angeles water.
Yeah.
Because Los Angeles tap water tastes like shit.
I, I noticed that again tonight.
I was standing in line at a Shake Shack, and I, and I had a, a little cup of water, and
it tasted real bad.
You know what water isn't good?
What?
Box water.
Have you had it?
I have not, I've not had it.
It has that, like, it has that carton-y taste, you know?
Uh, yeah.
It's like that slight kind of carton-y taste.
I mean, it may not be the taste, but you know how a carton smells?
Yeah, it's got that kind of cardboard.
That affects your taste.
So, this is a first wonderful conversation.
Yeah, and that actually, that's got me thinking, coincidentally, because we were talking about this earlier today.
Like, what drinks, there's this weird, like, stigma about certain drinks that, you know, you can only drink them out of a certain like containers.
Yeah.
Like, you know, I'm trying to think of like.
Like you can't drink milk out of a can.
Yeah, that would just be weird.
Or you can, I guess, but it's just odd thinking.
But even though they have coffee in cans now.
What about like fruit punch out of like a, like a little cardboard milk carton?
Like it's just weird.
I'm trying to think of like
you know this would be perfect. Why don't
they make like wine Capri Suns?
I don't know.
That's a perfect serving of wine.
A little glass of wine. And a little
mom. Like I could see a little soccer mom watching
her kids play soccer. Sipping on one of those.
Oh you know there's soccer moms that like poke a hole
in it. Like put wine in it
and then like duct tape it back up.
Give it to their kids so they'll shut up on long car drives.
They'll just pass out in the back seat.
They turn around an hour later and just vomit all over the kid.
Like, ah, damn it.
God damn it.
When they beat their kid anyway.
Here's the thing.
I can't remember what I was eating, but I decided to eat it with my hands instead.
I think it might have been a steak or something. I can't remember. No, no, no. I remember what it was eating but I decided to eat it with my hands instead like I think I can't it might have been like a steak or something I can't remember and no no I remember what it was I
was using I was using chopsticks and I was using my left hand to kind of scoop rice onto the
chopsticks and like the people that I was eating dinner with her like that's gross blah blah but
I'm like you you use your hands to eat chicken wings use your hands to eat burgers that why
can't you use your hands to eat other food? Is it particularly wrong?
I know it looks weird and it's not the normal thing to do, so it comes off odd,
but why can't you just kind of like dig your hand into a bowl of rice?
That's so true because you know what?
If I had a bowl of rice, if I just ate it with my hands,
I'd be able to eat it like four times faster and easier.
And when I'm hungry and I got a bowl of rice, I don't want to with my hands, I'd be able to eat it, like, four times faster and easier. And when I'm hungry and I got a bowl of rice,
you know, I don't wanna, I don't wanna have to, like,
dilly-dally around, yeah.
I can just use my hand. And to eat
soup, you don't need a spoon. You just, you just slurp it up.
You just pick up the bowl, like you do with, like, you know,
milk after you're done with cereal. Okay, I thought, I thought
you were about to say, like, just also use your hands for
soup. No! Dip your hands in.
And I was like, ah, well, that one might be a little...
Just dip your hands in there and suck on your fingers a little bit. I was about to say, I think that one might be a little Just dip your hands in there and suck on your fingers
A little bit
I was about to say I think that one might be a little
Over the line
I don't know but our buddy
But
We have a friend named Jose
And his grandma is from the Philippines
And he says that she eats
Everything with her hands
She'll go to restaurants
And even if it's a nice restaurant she'll just eat everything with her hands Good Like, everything. Everything? She'll go to restaurants, and even if it's a nice restaurant,
she'll just eat everything with her hands.
Good.
Because I guess it's how she was raised.
But her whole life, he says she just eats everything.
As long as you wash them, why is that a problem?
Yeah, exactly.
As long as they're clean.
They should make eating gloves.
Not latex gloves, but nice little gloves just for eating.
And then I can just go at my food,
eat at a nice pace, eat as much as I want.
Don't have to worry about ever dropping my fork.
That's always awkward, right?
You're on a nice dinner date and you drop your fork.
Hold on one second.
I think I...
There's something over here.
Hold on.
Wait one second, man.
I see this box thing over here.
What is this?
Holy shit!
Whoa!
It's a Segway!
Oh my god!
Whoa!
We just recently hit 100,000 subscribers.
Yes, we did.
Wow, so it took 20 podcast episodes for us to reach 100,000 subs.
That's more than, yeah.
I was about to say, that's more than 20 weeks, because we had weeks where we didn't have a podcast.
Oh yeah, there was that whole week, three weeks where were like on vacation and we didn't have enough content and it was uh a very boring slash hectic time in my life so so
what do you think of how far the channel's come do you think it would do you think you know do
you feel do you feel like it's like a big milestone of course it is a big milestone oh
technically number wise but like do you feel kind of like different about the channel at all does it
feel like anything's really changed?
No, I mean, it doesn't feel like anything's changed, but it feels like a little bit different now that, you know, when I look at it and it has that number slapped on it.
Because, you know, I think once you cross 100,000, it's when it starts to begin feeling big.
I mean, not huge.
I think I think what feels we're in the smaller YouTubers now. Yeah, I think, like, once you cross 300,000 is kind of when I start to feel, like, actually significant.
But I think around 250 is, like, when people start to, like, raise their eyebrows.
Yeah, okay.
No, I would agree with that.
I think when people start to, like, recognize you as a bigger YouTuber, I think that's the 500,000 mark.
Which, you know, fingers crossed, maybe a year from now we can be there.
But, I mean, you know, we made a really stupid 100,000 video,
but we do genuinely want to say thank you to anyone listening that, you know,
has subscribed or watched our other videos or even just listening to this podcast.
Thank you so much for helping us get to 100,000 subscribers
because, you know, it doesn't feel like it's that big of a number.
Maybe it's because, you know, this is the third time.
Yeah, this is, you know,
I did it before with Syndigo, you did it before
with Kids With Problems, and now we've
come together.
I don't know, we'll come back
to 100,000, but I wanted to kind of touch on
Kids With Problems and kind of talk about it.
Yeah, absolutely. It's been a lot of people
have been asking questions about it. Here's's the thing you know i started syndigo and then
you know that unfortunately ended under you know unfortunate circumstances and then kids with
problems was there but it was your channel it is 100 your channel it would all it will always be
your kind of you know overarching you manage it it is your channel it's your creation it's your
um uh it's your uh what's what's that thing called where you where you own it it's like a
intellectual property yeah it's your like intellectual property of sorts and super mega
just kind of like it was our way of making sure there was you know it was very equal yeah exactly
that comes with this is just answering a lot of questions about people,
where's Kids With Problems?
This is kind of our,
no, this is our main channel now.
This is definitely 100% our main channel.
Like, I guess to add on to what Ryan was saying,
Kids With Problems was a channel that I started
when I was a freshman in college
with some buddies of mine.
Oh, wow, really?
Yeah.
I started Synago freshman year of college. Dude, wow, really? Yeah. I started Syndigo freshman year of college.
Dude, we're so, it's like two identicals
that then came up and merged together.
Decided to make Let's Plays.
Yeah.

That's A-N-G-I.com. Yeah, but like I started it with some college
buddies. Well, actually, I made a video for it when I was in high school, but then I really
started it back up when I was in college. And, you know, it was this weird like thing about it
where, you know, the first video I made was with my friend Jose. And then I started making things
with my friend Jackson. And it was kind of this weird thing of like, okay, well.
So We Sell Drugs was the first?
Yeah, We Sell Drugs was the first video.
And then it kind of became this thing like, okay, well, who's, you know, like, obviously it's my channel.
But who, like, is a part of the channel?
So then, I mean, that's where I uploaded, like, the sketch comedy stuff I made back when I was a freshman in college.
And through that channel is how, you know, long story short, I got connected with Ryan and Daniel
through Syndigo.
And then, you know, one thing led to another.
I moved out to LA and that was like still my channel.
And then, you know, after everything happened last year,
we're like, okay, so what do we do now?
I mean, I have this channel that has, you know,
20,000 subscribers.
Why don't we just move to this one?
So we did.
Logically, you know, you invited me on to be a member of Kids With Problems.
And before that, you've had members before.
But it's more like you have a universe.
You kind of like have a, you know, it's a sketch comedy show where you're the showrunner.
But then I have a cast.
Whatever, friends, I guess.
Yeah, like you're a cast of friends.
And then I came in as kind of like a co. yeah like a co-show runner yes but but the thing was like it felt it felt weird because
no matter what we did it didn't feel like it was 50 50 because it was always you know it started
out as my channel yeah and we got to a point where you know it's like we we're both out here
and and we're trying to do what we love
why don't we start something new that is
just you and me 50-50
you know it didn't have
any like beginnings over here or over
there just right now this moment in history
we move forward and start something new
so the super mega was born
and now it's
originally sellout club
I even had like stickers and stuff that we made ahead of time.
Yeah, I think the original colors were, like, a turquoise-ish pink.
No, it was turquoise.
I think it was the exact same colors.
I think I just stole them for the Super Mega logo.
Yeah, just these ones look a little more, like, red and blue.
Yeah, I think so.
And there was...
I actually really do like the old logo.
Maybe we'll release that one day, let you guys see it.
Maybe we'll have a show based around it, who knows.
Oh, yeah.
Or maybe someone will steal it.
Not steal it, but maybe someone will take it.
Someone already took the Twitter handle.
Yeah.
You know who you are.
We still kind of wanted to maybe use that one day, and you stole the Twitter handle.
So it's fine.
Keep the Twitter name for now.
If we ever want it, we'll sue you.
Don't worry um but but yeah um i mean it's been a really long journey since we started this channel in april you know i think it got to the point where see we really we like
making stuff and we were at this weird standstill kind of where you know it's we were out of ideas
for sketch comedy and you know we wanted to make, like, just to have fun to make videos.
Yeah, because we've never, I guess ever since Syndigo, too, like, we've tried our hand at
shit and pandering in certain areas, I'm sure, but it's like, I always, like, I never wanted
to just make it so it's like, a video once a week, and that's what, you know, we promised
sometimes, but it always came into, like, we we couldn't do it whether it be with syndigo or kids with problems you know in a sense
because it's just kind of like i want these i want to feel proud of these ideas i want these ideas to
feel you know good i don't want it to feel like we're just pumping out the same kind of storyline
different costumes yeah um but super mega now i mean it's a chance for us to
like kind of relax talk
but yet still create the stuff we want to make
and we're going to get into sketch comedy
with Super Mega
I'm going to say
you know we've been promising all these things but
I don't think they're really going to come into fruition
until the beginning of
2017 just because there's still
so much work to be done there's still so much work to be done.
There's still so much to wrap up with this year
and to just kind of get used to.
As I said, we're editing for five channels.
Not only that, but I've been directing
all the live action ads for Game Grumps
as of recent,
and you've been editing all of them.
So it's not just like we're editing
Grumps and of recent, and you've been editing all of them. So it's not just like we're editing Grumps and Super Mega.
We're, you know, I shot and edited the Wendy's thing,
and you edited the art gallery video, which is a big video.
You know, we are constantly busy with stuff other than Super Mega
while we're also busy with Super Mega.
Yeah, like, I guess to put it in perspective,
because I have seen a lot of people unclear about, you know,
what exactly do we do regarding other channels.
So maybe we could say so we edit every Game Grumps video.
So that's three.
They upload three videos a day.
So we we edit all of those and then all of the, you know, live action ads before the videos or little sketches or videos for Grump Out.
And as of recent, been filming them, too.
Yeah.
So we've been we've been doing that.
And then also kitty
cat gaming which is uh mortimer or suzy you know aaron's wife her channel she uploads five videos
a week we edit all those and then chris uh only plays our good friend chris we edit his videos too
he does a video a day one a day yeah and then we also have to run super mega and we got grump out
as well because you gotta upload the it's the big live action
stuff like the big events yeah and those videos take a surprisingly long time to shoot and edit
so yeah well because we're trying to we're trying to balance it's a it's a lot of work but it's
manageable and right now we're trying to you know come up with a system to better manage it like i
know like there's there have been mistakes and people fucking uh tweet me sometimes like hey you didn't put up something they said it's like i understand
it's a mistake i i've just been very you know it's it's an excuse and i know it is but like
i have been busy mistakes happen major rant unbridled rage yeah it's just oh my god it's
it's uh but we're getting we're getting used to it.
Um, yeah, I mean, at the end of the day, it literally is a full time like career.
It's a job.
It's a very busy job.
Well, love it.
Love it.
Yeah, no, absolutely.
But you know, it's, it's not like we can focus all our time on super mega.
Um, I mean, we still, you know, if it's 1am and we got to make something, we're not going
to like half ass it.
We're going to just stay up until 6 a.m. making something good for Super Mega because this channel, more than anything, is a passion project.
Yeah.
That Ryan and I, you know, have created because, you know, we're out here doing what we've always wanted.
And I don't want, like, I see this channel as like our portfolio.
And more so than that, it's almost like, this sounds so cheesy, but it's almost kind of like a memory bank in a way where I can look
back at this time in my life and see what I was doing.
And I want to look back at it and be proud of what I made.
So that's definitely how I think of how you think of kids with problems, how I think of
syndigo.
And it's also kind of like, so I see YouTube for the stuff we make and have made.
That's that's also the mindset that I have with my Instagram.
I treat my Instagram much differently than I do my Twitter
my Instagram
is more of kind of like I think of it as
like a photo album and these are the moments
and these are the things that I want to remember
I have this weird thing
I'm sure you can do it but I want to
one day when Instagram is out of commission
I want to have a book of all
the photos that I've had because it does
tell a story I think the first picture is my iron iron giant tattoo and it you know my instagram
spans across a few years um i wasn't always social media savvy and i've deleted a ton of
shit i've restarted a ton of shit just because so many tweets yeah and a lot of tweets i delete
i don't care like 50 of my tweets my Twitter is more just kind of like a fun little
like haha let's
let's have some fun type of thing
I yeah I like I you know
Twitter is like my favorite platform
I guess it's because that's
the way I'm connected to the most people I guess
yeah and by
that I mean mainly other YouTubers
and content creators and stuff that's the
way I have like I'm able to talk to these people or connect with them, which I really enjoy.
And I like just posting stupid, funny shit on Twitter.
It's fun.
Oh, sorry, go on.
No, no.
I interrupted you.
I interrupted you and I'm going to be honest.
I just forgot what I was going to say. Well, it's funny you interrupted me because I was saying what I was saying was I was forgetting what I was saying.
And then you interrupted me and then forgot what you were saying.
Well.
Well, what a predicament.
So what happens in your brain when you forget what you're saying?
I mean, I'm sure people in the comments, if you know, go let her rip.
Tell me what it is.
Don't copy and paste from Wikipediaikipedia cause we know when you guys
do that or maybe do it because that's
you can get information
try not to
obviously yeah I mean
we'll learn a little something new why is
it when you know I'll be somewhere and I'll be
thinking of something I'll walk through a door and then
I'll just forget it and then it's like where did
that thought go why is it gone well just think about
the expanse of what your brain processes things.
It's fucking crazy.
I mean, your brain is.
Yeah.
I mean, think like even just getting down to the subconscious,
how much the subconscious stores.
It's crazy.
You know, like think about every single little memory in your life.
That's like somewhere in your brain.
And then different things will trigger you know smells
that to be brought back sight thoughts think about how much information you have stored in
your brain from the moment you were born you know like every word in the english language that you
know is sitting in your brain somewhere you know all your memories from elementary school middle
school high school college all of that stuff is just sitting in there and and like well matt if
you watched in and out you you'd know that uh there's little globes that go away forever oh yeah ryan well
in and out is a fast food restaurant inside out in inside and out blue i like my women with a blue
little window and a psychopath serial what narcissistic murder man.
The murder man.
He's loose again.
This is like a movie, The Murder Man. Turning women inside out from day one.
The murder man.
God, what if that would be such a huge national case, just turning women inside out.
I'd want them to call it The Murder Man.
Ted Bundy, The Murder Man.
That dude was fucked up.
Would you say, who is the murder man?
Who is the man that when people think of murder, he is the man?
The Zodiac Killer, I guess, probably.
Yeah?
I don't know.
How many people did the Zodiac Killer kill?
Let's talk about serial killers.
I don't know.
I don't know that much about serial killers.
I know, I know.
Well, Ted Cruz was the Zodiac Killer.
Oh, he was.
But Ted Bundy was also a serial killer.
Not Ted Cruz, but Ted Bundy. Dude, serial killer. Not Ted Cruz, but Ted Bundy.
Dude, I would love to make a movie about Ted Bundy.
He was a terrifying fuck-up dude.
Have you seen the recordings?
The Ted, no, from what?
No, no, not Ted Bundy.
Who am I thinking of?
Jeffrey Dahmer?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
That's the guy that would kill and eat people, I think.
Yeah, they found something in his, they found whatever in his fridge.
Yeah, like the police were there for some other reason
I don't remember
I think the police were that house for some other reason and they opened his fridge and there were like
Human heads in his fridge or something like that. I don't know. I'm sure people will say what really happened
I'm not I'm not knowledgeable about serial killers, man
I just remember there was one night
Back when I was in Charleston
I was like laying in bed and I just went on Wikipedia and I read
Ted Bundy's entire article and then I read Jeffrey Dahmer's entire article.
And it took like three hours, and then I sincerely regretted it as I was laying in bed that night.
I was just like, fuck, why did I do that?
What's that famous cult family?
Family?
Yeah, there's like this...
They called it a family.
I can think of a few cults.
Jim, there's Jonestown, Heaven's Gate,
the guys in Waco,
which that was really fucking crazy,
the whole Waco, Texas thing,
which that might, I don't know,
I think that might be before a lot of people's time,
but you should look that up
because it's a very interesting thing.
It's basically this guy started a cult
in this little like building in texas and basically um like some real illegal shit was happening there
so then uh the atf came out to investigate and long story short it started this big like
firefight with the government that lasted like 70 days before they finally um ended it because
the guy like lit the whole place on fire and killed himself and a lot
of other people pretty crazy they should make a good movie about that there's probably already
movies but i think i'm thinking of a movie i honestly i really do yeah because i'm like i'm
like what it's embarrassing what movie i'm thinking of what movie you're thinking of
i'm thinking of the first annabelle movie in the beginning there's like this like
there's a bunch of murders going on or something.
I was thinking of this movie.
It's Sorcerer's Stone or something?
Voldemort?
One of them was like, yeah, what do you think of Voldemort?
Did you read his case files?
God, it's fucking crazy.
Like, just the whole thing that happened with him.
Like, I mean, he looks creepy, too.
Ryan, what are you talking about?
Yeah, sorry for the just
kind of dude you know what's a hi you know what genuinely like freaks me out is how does like you
know who jim jones is no he's the guy that uh there's the whole famous jonestown thing where
basically the jonestown okay yeah yeah like he had his little like colony, like cult colony, and he convinced like 900 people to die with him.
Is that the Kool-Aid?
Yeah.
Like how do you do that?
How do you get to the point where like almost 1,000 people will literally die because you've convinced them to die with you?
Does that –
Including children.
I think I've made this connection before, but I mean if you look at the kind of political race going on,
connection before but i mean if you look at the kind of political race going on it's not really hard to believe that thousands of people would follow someone it's just crazy dude seems crazy
that people like i guess it's i guess it's mainly you know if some people can get other people when
they're in a very like vulnerable time in their life where they're kind of like a ball of clay
and i guess like giving them an answer to where they think there is none.
Yeah, that's exactly it.
That's exactly why people follow cults and, I guess, join different religions and stuff.
Because, I guess, in the end,
they're looking for answers and they want to know.
They want different answers to questions about life.
And I guess there's a lot of things that offer different...
And some answers make sense to other people.
Some don't make sense. It's just kind of like how people live. Thus, a bunch of things that offer different... And some answers make sense to other people. Some don't make sense.
It's just kind of like how people live.
A bunch of different religions exist.
But then there's the Heaven's Gate people,
which I think they rented a mansion in LA.
And then I think a bunch of people,
they all got these Nike, awesome Nike shoes,
and then gray track suits or something,
and then just climbed into bunk beds and died because they were if they died on this like certain day or certain three-day
period they go up and uh join like a spaceship that was passing earth behind the tail of a comet
and then that's the only way for them to board the spaceship because earth was about to end really
yeah which obviously earth didn't end but it's it's creepy because the dude that
was the leader of that cult he made these like vhs tapes which you can find on uh youtube
i think just search like heaven's gate tapes or something but he was the creepiest looking dude
he's this really old white guy and it's like all vhs style and he's just looking at the camera and
like talking about his cult and it's really creepy. And they had this like they had a legitimate like 90's
VHS style logo
like for the cult. It looked like it was out of like
Reading Rainbow or something. Some show like that.
I forgot what it was. It's like a little rainbow thing.
One of my favorite production
logos is A24.
Oh yeah. That's a really nice logo.
They make great movies too. They do. Did they
do Swiss Army Man?
Uh let me check check let's find out
yeah they did like they do just a bunch of stuff like yeah they did swiss army man that's what i
thought like they do a bunch of like independent-ish looking stuff are they just like a production
they did room they they did green room oh which was also yeah and it's very tragic that that dude passed away. Yeah, I think they're also doing...
Hold on.
Are they doing Fences too?
What's Fences?
No, they didn't.
But sorry, sorry.
I don't know why I thought that.
But anyways, Fences started out as a play in the 80s
starring...
Had James Earl Jones in it.
Have you seen American Gangster?
Have I seen American Gangster?
Yeah.
No, I want to.
Good old... That's Denzel, right?
Yeah.
Okay.
I only saw the scene where, spoiler alert, he blows the head.
Oh, just in public?
Yeah, he blows the dude in public.
That was a crazy scene.
I know.
I never expected him to just fucking walk up to the guy, threaten him, and then blow him.
Threatens him.
He undoes his belt, pulls his pants down, just sucks him off.
He pulls his gun out, wink wink, and blows him.
Denzel! Denzel, my man.
I love Denzel. He's good.
He has that Denzel
quality. What's that?
I don't know. He's got some
good, it starts with a G.
The word I'm thinking of, it starts with a G.
The gout?
No, that's not.
Maybe he has gout.
I don't know.
He's got some g-
It's that.
Richard Nixon had it.
The guy that does accounting for Game of Thrones.
Does Denzel actually have this?
No, it's not like a medical thing.
It's just that kind of like feel in your voice.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
I like it.
I think it works well with him.
Morgan Freeman has it a little bit, I think.
I don't know what you're talking about.
No.
Dude, speaking of driving with celebrities, I had an awkward encounter with Jeanette McCurdy,
the girl who played Sam on iCarly.
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Was that yesterday?
Yeah, yesterday.
So I'm leaving the Game Grumps office to go home, and I call an Uber, and it says, like,
my Uber driver needs to complete
another trip. But I see him like coming up the road and I'm like, oh, OK, I guess this is him.
And he like he pulls up and stops and looks at me. So I'm like, OK, well, the trip's not over yet,
but I guess I'll I guess he wants me to get in. So I'm like, do I get in? And he's like,
get in, son. So I climb. I get in the front seat.
And then he starts driving off.
And he's all confused because now he has two people, two different Uber trips in his car at once.
And he is very confused.
He's this older dude.
And I can tell he doesn't really know where he's going.
And he's like, oh, where am I taking you, young lady?
And I hear this girl in the back seat like, oh, I don't know.
I've never been there.
And I look on the phone screen. And says, like, current client, Jeanette.
And I looked in the little rearview mirror
and it was fucking Sam from iCarly.
And I was like, holy shit. Jeanette.
So, I, so. You know what happened?
You know what the real story is? What?
Fucking Dan Schneider. Dan Schneider
sent her to come, like, scope us out
and kill us because we were making fun of him in our videos.
What a weird coincidence, though. She was meeting up with him you know he he starts driving like circles around
the block not knowing where he's going and she's like i'm going to this one place we just started
like driving circles around the outside yeah yeah like the outside around the outside oh i see what
you're doing yeah okay sorry continue but he was actually dropping uh jeanette mccurdy off exactly where he was picking me up
he just didn't drop her off when he picked me up so then he drove like around uh this little
neighborhood and then like down the highway or not the highway but down like the main road and
then through a rallies parking lot and stuff and i don't know why he just didn't know where he was
going and then finally he dropped her off because i i was like oh you are you're going here you want
to go here and she was like oh thank you
She was super sweet super nice
Super beautiful I wanted to smell her hair
And she got out of the car and I watched her walk away
And that's the last time I'll probably ever see Jeanette McCurdy
Creep
She's a beautiful woman
That's a creepy man
She's probably listening to this podcast
I bet she loves Super Mega
But dude what are the odds
We make the iCarly video
And then we make the wrestling video making fun of Dan Schneider
And then just like two weeks later
I get into an Uber with Jeanette McCurdy
Cause I wasn't even supposed to get in the Uber with her
He was dropping her off
And picking me up
But he just somehow like I don't know he was confused
So he let me get in the car while she was still in it
And then drove around the block with both of us in it.
I was, dude, I was like in a cold sweat though.
I was just like, oh my God, that's Janette McCurdy.
Holy shit.
I just like, I saw her in the mirror and I was, I was freaking out, but.
You dropped trowel?
I dropped trowel and I took a shit right in the front seat of the car and she said, oh
my God, that's just like Dan.
Just like Dan.
What was, What was that?
I don't know.
I couldn't help it.
I'm sorry.
Hello?
Hello?
I'm the Nostalgia Critic.
What is this podcast becoming right now?
I don't know.
I don't know.
People are now like, you know how people zone out?
They're tuning in all of a sudden.
They're like, what's going on?
Oh my god. Hello? They're trying in all of a sudden. They're like, what's going on? Oh my God!
They're trying to do their homework while they're doing this.
And they're paying attention.
There's kind of white noise in the background.
And then it's just like...
We saw the most cringy video.
It was with Angry Joe calling out Jeff Keighley.
Oh dude, that was so bad.
In the interview like angry Joe's
just kind of just being a douche
I guess yeah he's being an asshole
he doesn't understand social norms
and Jeff Keeley's like hey I got a show to run and he's
like you know saying hey to other people who are wanting to say
hey to him you know not giving 100% of his time to Joe
and uh there's this part
where like Joe just pauses the video
and he comes in and he's like green screened
himself on top of the video with him and Keeley and he just looksuses the video and he comes in and he's like green screened himself on top of the video with him
and Keeley and he just looks at the camera and he's like
he just shrugs like come on
can you believe this
guy yeah like so
angry Joe is asking Jeff Keeley questions
and he's trying to like be
like the high man he's trying to make Jeff Keeley
look like an asshole but it's like
Ryan you fucking rip an ass over
here dude while I'm telling a story so continue I'm so he's uh like Jeff Keighley's like
hey I got a show to run and like Jeff Keighley's done nothing wrong and and
angry Joe is trying to make him look like an asshole but angry Joe looks like
the asshole get like so so bad but then angry Joe like like what Ryan put a link
to that video it'll be in the description okay like angry Joe freezes
the video and it's like in The Emperor's New Groove.
He walks on camera, and he's like, come on.
Seriously?
But there's one where he doesn't say anything, right?
Where he just comes in, like, throws his hands up in the air, then walks off.
It's so funny.
It's like, what am I supposed to, am I taking a side here?
I would love to do that in, like, a fully serious movie.
Like, just halfway through a scene, just pause it at the character walk-on.
Like, what do you think of that and then walk off screen people would be so
confused i'd love to do that but then the rest of the movie goes on being fully serious there's
nothing else can we cosplay his angry joe at like at like some convention i would love to do that
oh totally i would totally do that i'm gonna have cut, we'll both have to cut our hair a little bit and make it look weird, but.
I'm going to get like a Build-A-Bear leather jacket.
A Build-A-Bear leather jacket?
So it's like super tight?
Because he wears like a really tight leather jacket.
I get like a jacket from Build-A-Bear workshop.
I was like, I was thinking there was like a Build-A-Bear place where you can make leather jackets.
I like Build-A-Bear, dude.
I've never been to Build-A-Bear.
It's fun.
You stuff it and you kiss the heart and place it in the animal.
Do you really kiss the heart?
Is that like a thing you're supposed to do?
Yeah.
Really?
You give it a little smooch.
There was always Build-A-Bear.
There was one in Charleston, and I passed it a few times, but I never went to it.
Hold on, Matt.
Wait one second.
This conversation, I'm just imagining people just, yeah, I went to it. There was this Build-A-Bear i never went to it because hold on man wait one second this this conversation i'm just imagining people just yeah i went to there's this build-a-bear never went to
it yeah i saw a build-a-bear the other day and i didn't go to it either yep podcast talk right
there yeah there was a build-a-bear i never went to it yeah i saw one too did you see that new
build-a-bear yep, but I've never been.
I'm glad that 10,000 people on launch day can listen to us just ramp.
Just be like, yeah, I've never built a bear.
Build-A-Bear, yeah.
I saw one once.
I've probably made a total of like four or five Build-A-Bears in my life. We should go to Build-A-Bear sometime.
Not like film it.
Just go for fun.
Oh my god.
They discussed going to Build-A-Bear together.
I ship it
Would that raise any red flags with adults
I mean we are adults but
Fellow adults would that raise
No cause you can go there to buy like shit for your girlfriend
Or your uh
But like two grown men walking into a build a bear
And just like having a good time and making teddy bears
This is for our niece
I don't have a niece though not yet
Well how would they know
When you go to the cash register and build a bear
When you go make the fucking birth certificate for your bear
Which you have to do
This is for my niece
And then they'll go do a background check
Does he have a niece
Sir we have it here under good authority
That you do not have a niece
Do you think when like Barack Obama
Was under fire for like his birth certificate
Barack Obama was under fire Yeah dude When he? Barack Obama was under fire? Yeah, dude.
When he was under fire? When he was in
Benghazi getting off the plane?
On the tarmac?
Do you think that he just went to build
a bear and got a birth certificate and was like,
he made a bear named Barack Obama
and was like, give this
one to the press.
That'll show Donald.
Donald Trump was responsible for getting that birth certificate, guys.
You heard it in the debate last week.
That debate was miraculous.
That was so much fun to watch.
And I'm legitimately, I probably think about it two to three times a day, every day, how excited I am for the next debate on October 9th.
I have to go to a housewarming party.
On the 9th?
Yeah.
No. I know. Ryan, I think you and me. I have to go to a housewarming party. On the 9th? Yeah. No.
I know.
Ryan, I was talking to Ross today.
You, me, and Ross, we were all going to get together and watch it on his projector.
Can we save that for the last debate?
The final presidential debate?
Let's make a big thing of the final presidential debate?
And then we should do a stream afterwards and just discuss politics.
I don't want to discuss politics.
The only thing I'd ever, I don't know i i discuss politics a lot i've actually gotten more interested
in politics because it's starting to kind of affect entertainment the entertainment that i do
yeah that we do you know it's not that i'm becoming more you know into politics it's just
so much more entertaining now that now that we're older and and also just this election in general it's
just such a little donald how how did like okay i if you support either one of these candidates
i'm not giving you any hate or anything i'm just genuinely confused how donald trump ended up being
the presidential runner-up next to hillary clinton dude he's just like Reagan, man. I love Reagan, dude.
I was watching a video of a...
It was like a hidden phone call.
Not a phone call, but like a recording from the Oval Office.
Did they hide it under their chairs?
No, it was Richard Nixon when he was in office.
And he's like,
I was trying to tune into the baseball game on television the other day,
and they had a movie on
where they were promoting homosexuality
on television and then he he's like homosexuality leads to the fall of nations i mean you saw what
it did to the greeks and then he legitimately says my favorite quote from richard nixon uh
was just uh what was it the last six roman emperors were fags i think is what he said really
what the fuck he says the last six roman emperors were fags i think is what he said really what the fuck he says the last six
roman emperors were fags he just says that really yeah let me pull it up real quick the last six
roman emperors were fags there it is the last six roman emperors were fags god and then right
before he says aristotle was a homo we all know that richard nixon everybody this is uh this is
lbj talking about his pants Have you heard about this?
Yeah yeah I love this
I love it
Did he say bunghole?
Yeah he's like right up near my bunghole Did he coin the term bunghole? LBJ can we credit him as coining he say bunghole? Yeah he's like right up my bunghole
Did he coin the term bunghole?
LBJ can we credit him as coining the term bunghole?
It's cause he has a huge dick
And he needs some extra spot
That's seriously why he has a big dick
He's got a big dick
They didn't call him LBJ for nothing
Little Big Johnson
Yeah there it is there you go
I didn't know where I was going with that but you saved it
There we go
Like Dwayne the Rock, but smaller.
Dwayne the Rock Little Cock Johnson.
Am I right?
Oh!
We're calling you out, Dwayne.
Nice YouTube channel, by the way.
Dwayne, come on our YouTube channel and fight.
Dude, legitimately, I will let Dwayne the Rock Johnson punch me full force in the face.
That'll kill you.
I'll let him do it.
He'll kill you.
Okay, well, not full Dwayne the Rock Johnson force. I want to see him throw you. Oh, dude, I would love to. I would let him do it. He'll kill you. Okay, well not full Dwayne the Rock Johnson force.
I want to see him throw you.
Oh, dude, I would love to.
I would let Dwayne throw me.
That's a once in a lifetime thing to get Dwayne the Rock Johnson just to pick me up and throw me.
Because he could throw me far.
I want to know how far he could throw you.
Let's go to the pier in Santa Monica and then just get Dwayne the Rock Johnson to pick me up and just chuck me over the edge of the pier.
Feed you to the fishes.
I'm actually terrified to go swimming.
You're not supposed to go swimming around Santa Monica because apparently the water is not safe.
Not because of fish, but because of pollution and acid and stuff.
You know, that ocean dropping acid.
Hey, dude, look at this other segue
I found oh wow let's
climb on okay we finished
Pikmin we did we did you
finish Pikmin sorry Ryan
that was a team effort I
didn't touch the gun
once honestly if I
weren't let's playing that
I could have done that
game so much better it
pains me but whatever
whatever whatever and
yes we would like to obviously you know no promises
because we don't want to get get shit on in the future but we would we see your comments and we
definitely would like to do pikmin 2 some point down the road not anytime soon because um we're
going to be returning to papers please and some other series yeah and we got a new series uh
coming up soon which you will see what it is.
Ryan's very excited for it. One of his favorite games.
Oh, here's the...
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da.
There you go.
Yep, you know what it is.
Yeah, so if you guys guessed that,
that's a hint to what series is coming up soon on our channel.
But we also...
I know you guys are excited.
We're doing Papers, Please.
We're going to pick that back up,
go full steam with it.
Probably just do a lot more episodes.
We don't see it.
I mean, I don't see any.
Why don't we go full you play with it?
What?
Yeah, but we're going to bring back Papers, Please.
You guys want it, so we're going to do a little more Super Mario Maker?
We will.
I mean, it's just inevitable.
It's a matter of time.
No, we're just going to have fun with it.
Just do a bunch of fun fucking levels.
Yeah, we're not going to do any of that expert mode bullshit anymore.
That just, I mean, if you guys want that.
It would be a waste of y'all's time.
We're not that good.
Because, God.
But maybe we'll get better.
Remember, we recorded like three or four recording sessions.
We completely scrapped because we played Super Mario Maker for like an hour and got nowhere.
Because, I don't know.
I mean, you're way better at Mario Maker than I
am you're on like another level than I am
but you're still not
that good at it
I would have to
I've never beaten
a Mario game I've always just kind of
played until I got bored
and I always replayed like other levels
and stuff like I've always gotten to like the last
world and it's not because it was too hard.
It's just literally, like, it was like, eh, I'm kind of, like, I'm done jumping over things.
I can play another game, yeah.
Yeah, it was like something else came out.
So, have I really never beaten a Mario game?
I've beaten.
I feel like I have.
Have I not?
I don't know, dude.
Come to think of it, I don't know if I have either.
I mean, I've beaten, like, non-traditional Mario games.
I beat Super Mario 3D World. Those count. Those are Mario games. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, I've beaten that. Any, like, non-traditional Mario games. I beat Super Mario 3D World.
Those count.
Those are Mario games.
Oh, yeah, okay.
Well, I've beaten that.
Any, like, Nintendo-licensed Mario game.
I beat Super Mario Bros. Wii, I think.
New Super Mario Bros.
Okay.
I didn't beat the cat one.
I got close, though.
But then, just like any other game, I just kind of was like, oh, no.
That's my thing.
I'm not very good about finishing games.
I kind of play them until I kind of burn out on them if I finish a game like I'm trying to I like I've I've I've
beat a lot of video games but it like I'd say I've of course played more than I've beat and I'm
talking about spare time not just because you know just because of the channel you know of course now
I've played more games than I've beaten it takes a special game to keep my interest yeah I think
um there's one there's a Zelda game that I've actually beaten twice, and it is,
I've probably said this before, but it's like, in my
top three favorite games of all time, it's Link's Awakening.
I absolutely love it, and I would love to play
it on Super Mega at some point.
I would absolutely love that. Yeah, definitely.
And guys, again,
you know, we're always trying to think of new series,
new one-offs, games to play.
If you ever have suggestions, please leave them
in the comments for us. Or better yet, if you have suggestions suggestions head on over to the super mega subreddit that's r slash
super mega and if you don't know reddit then you go reddit.com slash r slash super yeah or just go
to reddit search super mega and we've had there's i think it's sticky on the very top of our subreddit
is a like a mega suggestions thread. So leave suggestions there.
Those don't even have to be for games.
They can be for live action, anything like that.
Speaking of live action, we actually shot a little...
I mean, as of when we're recording this,
we shot our first fan mail opening video today.
Might be releasing tomorrow.
Yeah, possibly.
We'll see how that goes.
It all depends on how we feel about it.
Yeah, I gotta edit
the shit out of that one.
Thank you guys for
sending us mail, by the way.
Our P.O. Box is
pinned on our Twitter.
Yeah, go check that out.
I know in the future
we're not gonna have it
pinned there.
It's also the same
as the Game Grumps.
It's the same like P.O. Box.
Yeah, just make sure
it's addressed to Super Mega.
Otherwise, we will not
open your thing
because it will get opened
by the Game Grumps. Yeah, but everyone not open your thing because it will get opened by someone else.
But everyone that sent us stuff,
I'm sure some people listening
have sent us stuff.
Honestly, not everything
made it into the video for different reasons,
whether if it's just a letter or
something, but we really, really
appreciate everything you guys have sent
us. It's all been very sweet
except for a few things,
which you'll see in the video, probably.
There were a few things that really bothered me.
Yeah.
But you guys will see that when the video drops.
But it's very sweet of you guys.
You sent some very nice things, very nice letters.
Lions.
So nice.
Just the nice, what?
Dude. Do we have Just the nice. What? Dude.
Do we have to end the podcast now?
Yeah, we got to end it.
You ruined it.
Okay.
But guys, this has been the 20th episode of Super Megacast.
Can't believe we've done 20 of these things.
That is, what?
That's got to be.
That's 20.
15 hours worth of us just talking, right?
Would you say?
No.
Is it? At least. Because a lot of our podcasts are like 30 minutes
40 minutes I guess I guess it's 30 to
an hour so I can say at least 12 hours
we've never reached an hour you could wake up at
6 a.m. and probably listen to our podcast
non-stop until 6 p.m.
is that a safe bet I'd say that
definitely and they are all
on iTunes and also Google
play music if you're an Android listener.
So if you want to listen to us on the go or in your car or something, go check us out on iTunes.
They drop on iTunes on Saturday, and then they're on YouTube on Thursday.
And I see a lot of people in the comments saying, like, put it on SoundCloud and stuff.
We might do that at some point, but right now we have it on Android and iOS.
We'll keep you updated.
If there's enough call for it, we'll think about it a little more.
It's just, you know, these are the two mediums in which we're producing it.
But again, this is 20th episode.
Awesome.
Great time.
Cool.
I'm sure the song's playing right now.
Yeah, it's getting louder and louder.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
Bye.
