But, but, but it is episode 233 of the Super Mega Cast. That's pretty cool.

Matt has been taking sips of a little drink he made. He made me the same drink. I haven't taken a sip yet because I wanted to, I wanted to have it live on the podcast. Well, not live. So you can roast me when you don't like it? Not roast you, but I feel like I will be able... What if I like it? I don't think you will.

It looks like... We don't have anything at the office, really, for a cocktail. That smells strong. Well, all it is, is it's just... I haven't eaten today, Matthew.

Oh, really? This is going to put me out, isn't it? I didn't put that much vodka. It's just vodka, some tonic water, and a little bit of grenadine syrup. What kind of tonic water?

Just regular? Just regular Q is the brand. No LaCroix? You're not going to liven it up with some LaCroix? No. You got to use tonic for a cocktail. LaCroix is just, that would just be nasty. Okay, okay, okay.

So I'm going to try to get a slurp in there for like. It's going to be bitter because the tonic water. That's fine. I'm just, for those who like ASMR, I'm about to do a little like close- a slurp in there for like it's gonna be it's gonna be bitter because the tonic water that's fine i'm just for those who like asmr i'm about to uh i'm about to do a little like close-in slurp and then i'm gonna do like swallow maybe with my lips a little bit you know get it around the palate okay here we go here we go are you ready i'm expecting let's see it is uh it's bitter but the first taste going in ain't bad it's it's the aftertaste where it's like that's the quinine

that's the quinine you're tasting that's in tonic water you know that prevents malaria i think i'd rather have malaria dude then have than have to taste that bullshit. I'm kidding. It's not bad. It's not bad. Yeah, go on. It's – Could be – you didn't have the – That's all I had.

The thing is, Matt, I opened the fridge and I was like, what do we have? I truly believe if you were just given just like any ingredient you wanted, you could have made the most delicious cocktail. I could make you something good. And knowing my taste, because you're such a good friend to me and you pay attention to my, every whim and need, right? So I feel like you'd be able to, to have some sort of milk drink, I'm sure. Milk, chocolate syrup, and soju.

Is that an actual jink? No, no, that'd be disgusting. Aaron made a bunch of uh like very sugary dessert liqueurs which are fine but there comes a point where i'm like oh this is good and then like i start to have it more often i'm like okay i need to i need to have one of these every few months i can't do that sweet shit i used to be able to i used to love that sweet shit, but now it's like, I guess maybe just my taste buds changing as I progress in my 20s.

You're becoming more of a mature adult. I'm becoming more of a man. You're not a child anymore. You don't eat candy like you used to. Oh, Jackson's calling. What does Jackson want? He just has to get on the podcast. He has to always come into the recording room

and record a Let's Play. And even when he's not here, he knows what we're doing. We'll pick this conversation back up, he knows what we're doing. He knows what we're doing. Jackson? Great. Why'd you call me?

What? I didn't call you. You called me right now? No, no, no, no, no. You called him. We held up the phone and it showed that you were calling him. So I've been driving around.

I found a place that accepts this stuff, but they don't accept American Express. So I was wondering if you had the other business card on you right now and I could come get it, or if I should just pay for myself and reimburse myself later? I don't have mine on me. Wait, yeah, yes I do. Yes I do. I do have it on me, actually. It's easier.

Okay, because we're going to come by and get the recycling. Well, if you want to just, if it'd be easier to do it and reimburse, we can do that instantly, or... I have to come by there anyway. So that's because they don't take American Express. So I know you have the other one that's not in the Amex. Okay.

Wait, Jackson, what don't they take? American Express. Okay. Wait, they don't take American Express? Yeah. Why? Because we used to have the other card that's not American Express. Do we still have that? Did you ask him why they don't take American Express?

Well, Ryan, no, I did not. Well, go back and ask. I'll give you their number, Ryan. Okay. All right. I'll also send you some comedy clips and see if I can be such a comedian. Yeah. Okay.

Sounds good. All right. I'll see you later. See you. yeah okay sounds good alright I'll see you later see ya anyway back to the shit you know it's actually just a very popular drink it's just vodka tonic and I thought for you I would just

spice it up and add some grenadine make it a little fruity I think it worked I think it helped I don't think you would just like vodka tonic. Probably not. I think my least favorite drink might be gin. I don't like the Christmas tree

flavor, dude. Juniper? I can't. It's a divisive flavor. I can't get over the fact. It's not the fact that I just don't like the flavor. It's like my body is constantly telling me you're not supposed to be tasting this. That's why I don't like the flavor. It's like my body is constantly telling me you're not supposed to be tasting this. That's why I don't like rosemary. Danger. Danger. I don't like rosemary

because rosemary tastes like Christmas like pine straw, like Christmas tree. But I like June. I mean, gin. I also don't. I like ginger but I don't ever use it with the sushi really. Unless it's like the sushi chef is like please use this i love

i'll always take the recommendation of someone who who knows flavor more than i but you know gin is gin is one of my probably probably is my favorite liquor just because it's i i i can't explain it i i'm fond of that i feel like it's device it's like cilantro it's divisive though it's like you either love that flavor or you hate it. Hate it. Do you like cilantro? I don't know.

Have you ever had cilantro? Probably. Maybe I just haven't. Can you think of what it tastes like? No. Oh, damn. Because, you know, some people have that gene

where it tastes like soap. Maybe I should try cilantro. Cilantro is awesome. Maybe you should get Jackson to pick up some cilantro. Wait, Jackson, I know you're doing some errands. Pick up cilantro. It's good. I love you're doing some errands. Pick up cilantro.

It's good. I love cilantro. So earlier I said that I was on an empty stomach and you seem some sort of, you seem exclaimed. And I noticed yesterday you were responsible. And it seems like you got Chick-fil-A early because you still had some bisque and stuff left over. Does that mean that you're eating good today? Did you eat today? Eating breakfast, yeah.

What did you have? Did you have eggs toast? Oatmeal, okay. Like brown sugar, cinnamon, or what do we think? Just a mixed berry. Mixed berry. It just had some dried berries in it because I really got to start taking food with the medicine I take in the morning. And also I just will feel like shit if I don't.

Yes. Because then I'm running on empty. Food reviews. Food reviews, you know? Yeah. There are actually no food reviews because I don't have any food. So I realized also I'm never hungry in the morning because I drink coffee first. And that suppresses your appetite.

I'm never hungry in the morning just because. I feel like. Do you smoke a cigarette first thing? Mm-mm. Oh, I don't know. I don't get hungry in the morning either. And it's how you. But do you get hungry really late at night?

I usually have like unless we order food to the office that'll usually be my only meal or if we don't then I'll just have my one meal so it's either I have a meal at the office or a meal at home I don't know I stick to one meal

I'll have a few goldfish to just satisfy my cravings or I can make myself like a quick peanut butter and toast as a snack, you know? Yeah. But in terms of a full meal, I feel like I'm on the schedule of really only having one full meal a day. And I say full meal and I'm being very generous to myself because sometimes I don't think that six, seven, 11 gas station Buffalo wings or is, would be considered a full meal. Uh, so yeah, I think both of our eating, not good schedules and habits, horrible, bad. I feel like, I feel like if I just got my eating schedule, good, like consistent three good meals a day that are healthy, I within weeks just be a different person dude i can envision remember when i was like big into like i i worked out a little more like not not in terms

of like weights but i like would go to the gym and like do cardio and shit or whatever but you and i both had this phase too and we've come in and out of it but like i just remember like and i would eat better like i would just eat more greens i would eat more fruits and vegetables i would eat more low-cal diets and i just felt so light throughout the day and good and energetic these days i just feel also i'm only getting like four to five hours of sleep at night that's a big one yeah sleep and food i stay up to like for some reason they're important i don't know why well i i was getting to bed at a decent time last night and then two hours into it one of those migraines hit me. Oh.

And I just had to, and I stayed up for two hours with that and waited for the medicine to kick in that I took. And usually what I do when I have a migraine is I'm like, I can't fall asleep. Like I can't, like all I do is writhe in bed. I just think about it. Yeah. And so like what I do is I just go turn on the shower, turn it to super hot and just have the scalding hot water pour onto my head to kind of distract, to like to distract my senses from the actual migraine. I like it.

I like it. Until it goes away. We could, we should go on a 30 day cleanse together and work out. Okay. Just no toxins. No, no nothing well i've been wanting to actually like it's gonna sound so fucked up but i've been wanting to know what it's like to be sober for an extended period of time i do too because uh i mean you know i smoke every day well it's it's so it's

like i don't think about it enough that the fact it's like that cush, you know? Yeah, you do. It's literally just like you're we feel bad because you're running on exactly what you put in. So if it's just like cigarettes and and drinks and McDonald's, then your body's like, all right, I guess we'll have to work with this. There was a time a few months ago where I'd order McDonald's and I'd hog it down. But now, like I the other night I ordered McDonald's and i just felt like an absolute disgusting person and i tried and i'm like maybe i'm just getting bored of mcdonald's i fucking got taco bell and i was like oh dude i feel awful after that i do we got we got buffalo wild wings the other night and i remember like i want i was so excited and right after i ate it i was like ah fuck i feel like shit it's because we fucking order

the cheese curds and mozzarella sticks and the fucking wings on top of that just pure calories and fat and grease tastes good

and our body craves our bodies are used to that yes because our bodies are used to that now we were bears we would be fucking ecstatic about the amount

of food we ate oh my god and you know it's hard because I think I'm just so used to that kind of shit now that it's like my body just wants that kind of food but it's like just you know what it's hard because I think I'm just so used to that kind of shit now that it's like my body just wants that kind of food.

But yeah, just you know what I need? I need a fucking meal service that just like delivers the shit every week. Every week. Right. And I think Ross. Like Blue Apron or something. Because that just sounds like. Also, I don't know how to cook.

I don't know how to cook in small ways. Right. I don't know what to do. But if I had just like a meal service that would just be like, all right, tonight you're going to have chicken alfredo and here's what to do. I could just follow instructions. Boom. I'd be eating better. Every time I like watch Harrison cook and like it is a skill or like I watch another friend cook, like in my brain, I'm like, this is so like simple.

Like simple, like just just learn, like learn to make at least because Harrison knows how to make a shit ton of meals, but like learn how to make three meals really well. You know what I mean? Because you're not going to be making food all the time. If you learn to at least make three fucking meals really well, it'll give you the basics for other meals to create in the future and to like have fun with probably. And you'll always have three meals to go to, to show off. That's true. What would be your, if you could pick like three basic meals to master? I think I would do like some kind of pasta.

Same, I was gonna say I'd do carbonara. Yes, I would do like- I'd do spaghetti carbonara. Ooh, yes, that's good. I would do that. I would do maybe like a good meat, like some kind of chicken. I would do some kind of chicken dish. I would be a steak.

Like I'd want to perfect a good steak. I mean, your steaks are already fucking, you got to come over soon because we got to grill. You got to come over and make some steaks. The McGee cinnamon steaks. Dude, those are so good. Thanks, man. It's like things are always good when it has like one weird ingredient. Like you put Dr. Pepper in the steak

Oh, it's part. It's delicious. I Would do pasta I would do a meat thing and then maybe I would do like a Maybe like it like a salmon Okay, like mashed potatoes. I don't know something with fish. Okay. I love salmon salmon is Fish is a is because when you think about it fish are like you look at it You're like I would never eat that it's because it's like the most fish are like you look at it and you're like i would never eat that it's because it's like the most gross smelling like ugly looking creature but it's delicious i think for me i'd even though it's like an easy meal to make i'd really like to

i'd really like to know how to make a mean mapo tofu or like a or like a really nice like to make pad thai like to make oh pad thai would awesome. Just a really nice kind of new, just good takeout style meal. But like you can always just go to town on your creativity with it. That's the thing about like, it would be nice to learn how to cook well so that I could just begin to, because you know when you understand something, you can then begin to experiment with it. I would like to be able to experiment other than like putting different dry rubs or different spices on a steak. You know what I mean? Yeah, when I came back from Thailand,

I brought Harrison a ton of seasoning and like salts and shit that I got at markets because I was like, cook with these. It'd be awesome. And I still have a bunch of them. I want to see if I can make something with those because like I just got so many spices in Thailand that I was like, this will be delicious. And I can just, I just want to a bunch of them. I want to see if I can make something with those. Because, like, I just got so many spices in Thailand that I was like, this will be delicious.

And I can just, I just want to fuck around with them. Like, taste it and be like, oh, put this on something. You know? Growing up, like, my mom always, like, the classic, like, middle class family meal where it's just chicken every night. Oh, yeah. Like, the white kid family. It's like, chicken every night? And then, like, frozen vegetables in the microwave with sauteed chicken that's not really seasoned in a pan.

Canned string beans. Of course, they do regular mashed potatoes. None of the dry. Because you just mash potatoes. No, I mean, I would just get the packets that you put the hot water in. That's more expensive. Yes, less work, I guess. You know, my mom, you you know she wakes up at 430

and teaches all day and she comes home and she's like I don't want mashed potatoes I understand that that's why you gotta help out in the kitchen well I didn't I would help peel the potatoes if we were having mashed potatoes my one thing to do was because they would make the meals

I would always wash the dishes not at my mom's house my mom's probably like what? dishes. Not at my mom's house. My mom's probably like, what? My mom, I was spoiled at my mom's place. I never had to do shit at my mom's place. And my dad's though,

I had to be a responsible young man, do my laundry, you know, do the dishes. I had to set up the table for dinner, you know, do all that stuff, vacuum,

you know, clean the bathrooms. Just, you know, yeah, all just like the just menial house tasks like my dad would make people god dude he would make me like a wax the audi and like oh that's one sure i did have to do it now that my mom's not wax the audi but i would have to wash uh my mom and jim's car sometimes on sundays i did not have an Audi growing up and I didn't have to wax it.

I did. I remember every now and then my dad would be like, son, I'll give you $5 if you go clean the car. And I get the hose out and he'd be like, what the hell are you doing? Cause in my mind. I always dried it wrong. Yeah. Well, in my mind, I thought if I just sprayed it with the hose, it would be clean.

And then it like dries on all the water spots. Like, son, what the. The one chore I miss is mowing the lawn. Yeah. I've been feeling that. Just putting on headphones and listening to music feeling that summer heat and then when i would go up to mow my uh because my grandparents when they were alive um i would go mow their lawn up in spartanburg and they had a pretty just big lawn they kind of lived out in the middle of nowhere so it's cheap for land um yeah they had a riding mower so i would just dude i remember so fun i never got to do that but i remember being a

kid and like when you're at like home depot or lowe's just go into this section of mowers and like sitting on all of them yeah well like i'd sit on one and i'm like am i supposed to be sitting yeah i know it's always so scary dude they can yell at me i know but now it's like like that was that was what was scary back then i was like oh, oh God, I'm sitting on the mower. What if an adult sees? You remember going to like in construction neighborhoods and just going and sitting on the tractors and chilling with friends and stuff or like, like just roaming around the houses that were under construction.

Yeah. And then you were so scared you'd get in trouble. But it's like, if, if a cop sees you, they're just going to be like, go away. They're not going to arrest kids. Oh, we're also white. That's true. Yeah, that is true. There's a huge, I don't know what it's called.

It's like a bulldozer type thing. One of those types of machines. Steamroller? No. Well, there actually was a steamroller near the Airbnb I was staying at. And I really wanted to go sit on it because it was like just there. I mean, they don't lock those things things you can just kind of get into those yeah well i love like that heavy duty machinery that can do so much damage and has so much power like they just don't lock

that stuff it's like that's the thing but it's you know hot wire it when i hot wire the steam roller and fox and transformers steam rollers are uh i i always was i was obsessed with machinery as a kid and i i had a steam roller phase where I was like, steam rollers are so cool. Well, of course, like trains, tractors, hot wheels, like all, dude, I remember the hot wheels tracks. Oh my God. Doing those loops. Oh yeah. Man, I could not get enough of those.

Sometimes you'd put your hand near the cars that's going by. Did you have the one that had like the box that had like the little wheel type thing that would spin really fast? Yes. So it launches them. So, yeah, it launched them. Yeah. That shit was awesome. And then, yeah, the track was like they might still be the same color like the tracks.

Orange. Yeah. And it's like bendy. Oh, yeah. It's not really that sturdy. So like when the cars are going around it, it's like bobbing up and down. That's got to be such a good. Just that's that profit margin because, you know, expensive.

They sell those tracks for Hess trucks. Like, come on. Do you like I remember getting that orange plastic like that probably cost like two cents to make one of those and they sell it for like 50 bucks. Like 70 some for the new Hot Wheels. Oh, dude, new Hot Wheels. Let me look at the prices of Hot Wheels, Jack. I remember when I was a kid, they were expensive as fuck.

Were they like 50-something or are they going to be like 25 bucks? Because when I was a kid, I could only expect. I don't know. I don't buy toys anymore. I've started buying toys. I could only expect to get Hot Wheels sets like on Christmas because they were like a big, oh, 35 bucks. Okay, so like. 71. Oh, never mind. 80. bucks. Okay, so like. 71.

Oh, nevermind. 80. Okay, so they just range. 40. I had this car wash one. Oh, there it is. Whoa. No, wait, that's the garage.

Damn. I'm getting back into toys lately. I've just been in a collecting phase. So I've been going back to my old collection of garbage pail kids and wacky packages. going back to my old collection of garbage pail kids and wacky packages. Cause I had collection of those when I was in middle school and it's probably back home in South Carolina now, but I've started to recollect those. So I'm going on eBay and getting the different like series and stuff.

And I have binders with little sleeves that I've been putting them in and cataloging them in order. And it's been so, it's just been bringing me serotonin. It's been so much fun just flipping a page in the binder to a new thing of plastic. I mean like 74, 75.

All right, here's number 76. Oh, all right. I have 76A, but I still need to find 76B. Going through, opening the packages, that fresh card smell, the bubble gum that's from 2006. I tried some.

I was 10 years old when that gum got put in that package. Before, that was when Bush was president. And? It was fine. Yeah? It was good? It was, it shattered. It tastes like childhood?

Yeah, it shattered in my mouth. Like when I chewed it, it just broke into a bunch of pieces. But then after chewing it for a little bit, it just becomes regular gum again. And the flavor was great. It maybe had like a tiny tinge. gum again and the flavor was great it it maybe had like a tiny tinge but you know since for 15 years it's been shrink wrapped in like a little thing that's inside of a like tightly sealed card pack that's inside of a booster pack that's sealed so it's like this is pretty good i i have all of the gum from the booster pack i opened and i have like handfuls of it and i don't know what to do

with it i don't know what i do with it i don't know what i'd like collect i like i used to collect things as a kid but i just like i mean i i guess i have a blu-ray collection you know collection shit ton of blu-rays it's so like but i've just really gotten back into collecting lately because i think every few years i have a collecting phase where i just like i just find something and then i just like well it's nice to find new hobbies and stuff collecting's a fun hobby what is the like what is the fucking uh psychology behind like collecting because basically it's literally this it's like oh i i i want these and then i get them and then it's just like oh now i have them and that's it

it's like i think a part of it would be like fear of missing out in a way of like as a kid I remember it's like if I don't buy that pack that pack has the chance to have that card in it and I would really like like the rare cards so like I mean also it's it's just you know it's just a

it's not that expensive I could ask for a pack of Pokemon cards or whatever for Christmas opening cards is so much fun i thought about filming myself opening them but i don't know i was like i don't know how i can make that entertaining oh people just want to see you open shit i think that's very obvious so many cards like i i think you could just sit in front of a camera and shit your pants as you normally would do naturally and then people would come and watch it i think that would get more views than the card opening. So that's actually, that's a better idea.

Or I can combine them. I open every pack of cards, I shit my pants a little more. Only if it's a holographic card, dude. Every time I get a rare, I have to... That was a little bit, oh, that one's wet. Oh, a little more. Did you shit yourself that time?

Yep. I did. No, you didn't. No, I i didn't thank god i i really don't think i'll shit myself for a long time i think that the the recent times were just because i had like a stomach bug i like i wasn't like ill but i had this thing like i said i was just like for maybe like a week two weeks the like my stomach would hurt every day and i would get just nauseous very easy and just sometimes you just shit your pants well it's because my shit would become liquid out of the blue um but you know i'm

good now i'm all better now i'm not gonna i'm not gonna you know also i do have to say i think i have a medical excuse because this really it happened before this but it really increased after i had surgery on my asshole because i don't have as much feeling in my asshole anymore like it's a little bit harder to feel the control and I feel like that contributes to it. Just the control or can you still feel it dilating? It's hard to feel that sometimes

Dude that. Which is that A lot of people would dream of having that problem. No it hurts if I put something in my ass but like I mean in the general, like, small amounts, like, because, dude, to save yourself from shitting yourself, there's the very fine line of

tightness you need. It's the amount it takes to open just for air to pass through. It's literally like, like, and it can be just like a little like spray. A high pressurized, like a guy on an oil rig, like, you know, they're monitoring the pressure, and it's like the difference between, like, one to two, like, changes in pressure that can explode the whole thing.

It's that. And I have, it's a little more numb down there since surgery. And I think that that has contributed because it's made it harder for my brain to, for a normal person, brain would be like, nope, don't do this one. Don't, don't, don't do this fart because that is going, you're shit yourself but my brain i don't my brain's like oh do you think on it long enough though no but it's because i because i think on it like i feel something moving like i feel a fart and then like i'll hold it and then i'll like try to feel if there's anything well i feel it it's like a feeling i don't really think about it's a feeling where it's like yeah or no

but i think my brain sometimes because i'm a little more numb down there it goes yeah when it should be a no because it doesn't feel the exact or i might even have lesser control over the you know the the tightening and the loosening of my ass after having surgery on all four uh interior sides of my asshole uh with lasers so i would not recommend that by the way to anyone that's So I would not recommend that, by the way, to anyone that's. Yeah, you said. I'm glad I got it. You said you'd rather just deal with the hemorrhoids.

I'm glad I got it. And I'm glad that I don't have that anymore because it is much nicer. But if I had. Your asshole is much nicer? Yeah. Have you taken a look at it? Spread those cheeks in a mirror? Not like a deep look recently.

I should. Just to, you know, see. But, you know, I use, you know, I use wet wipes and bidets and stuff just to be safe because I don't want to risk damaging my ass again. For people that want to get the hemorrhoid surgery, I mean, mine was an extreme case, but if, I don't know, the recovery period sucked

and maybe it just sucked because they didn't give me painkillers. They only were like, just take a two extra strength Tylenol. i'm like that does not do shit when there are stitches inside my asshole and every little movement there's blood coming out of like that does not i really need a painkillers and they didn't prescribe me the worst are right your feet your hands and your asshole because if you sit down it's gonna hurt your asshole if you walk it's gonna hurt your asshole if you hurt your hands you know you can't really do much your feet you're standing up trying to walk all the still gotta get surgery on both three places where you just don't want to have too much recovery or

something to have to do with recovery because uh it's not fun the recovery process on like your fucking like like thigh or like a shoulder like it could be like ah man but you can still fucking do shit you just pick stuff up it's good you don't realize how connected things are until something gets hurt i think jackson's back when i broke my foot i didn't realize how much like just little like moving my knee like this actually like moves muscles in your feet too like how connected things are hey my wallet's on the floor right there would you have the other non-american it might have just flown out. Open the thing? Yeah, I do. Sweet. That's Starbucks.

Open it. I think it should be in the back. You just throw your wallet at him? I threw it earlier, hoping it would slide under the door, but it kind of... Is he not here? Nope. He had painters at his house. So we'll have to do that one some other time. Hey, c'est la vie.

I went to like three fucking... None of the places are accepting or not. I think because of COVID, but I found a place that's accepting. Okay, good. So obnoxious. Cool. That's it. Wow.

Fancy, right? I mean, it's only a visa. You can probably gain some muscle by carrying that around. Hey, Matthew, visa here. It's funny. I've been watching a lot of visas. Hey, well, since Jackson's in the room getting the credit card, how about some ad breaks?

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. What beautiful ad reads those were, Matt. God, those got me. Dude, those got me going, man. Ooh, let me just...

Ryan, when you watch like western movies and you see those boys on the trail take just a straight bottle of whiskey and just down it without even wincing their face I'll shoot them in the face with my revolver fuck those cowboys they can handle a drink and they handle a bullet to the face don't think so

so you're not much of a shots guy I'll do shots but like that after flavor is just like it's just the bitterness it's like medicine dude it's probably the grenadine mixed with that I can do bitter I can do liquor you know I can do that shit

well liquor is not really bitter liquor is it burns but this is bitter you know like now I'm thinking about how taste works that's like now I'm thinking about how taste works. That's like, like what, what, what makes it bitter? What makes something sweet?

How fucking basic it is. Like, like, you know what I'm saying? It makes, it makes your mouth feel dry. Does basic mean a bitter? Cause I know like acidic is sour. It's basic bitter. Oh, dude, that's based. You're i'm based thanks man would you say i'm based yeah honestly yeah i wouldn't i'd say you're really based would you i would say you're very based yeah thanks i'd say i would if i have the correct political opinions to associate with the title of based. Well, actually, based is a funny term because based is used by the right and the left to describe their own opinions.

So like, well, it's a word. It's just that's that's cool. It's like it's coming. It's like you get it coming from a kid at a playground. It's he's probably talking about a slide coming from like Hitler. It's probably not about a slide coming from like hitler it's probably not like that's cool like it's probably not about something like just as fun and simple right so like when it's just a word that's used in different different uh context that's all like

like i've seen you know like a kid will be like you know say some some like white supremacist shit and it's like yo dude you're based and then it's like, yo, dude, you're based. And then it's like, you know what? I'm a socialist. Oh, dude, you're based. It's just whoever wants to use it. That's pretty based. It just means that, you know, you agree. Their views are like, those are right.

You got the, you're the one with the good views. So then tell me how you can antithetically tell me that the socialist government is not, you know, that's my Vosh impression. So tell me, Ryan. Yeah. Antithetically. Yeah. Do you think you're based walter you're not based enough walter if you don't take this cum shot to the face i'm gonna have to kill you mike mike please. I have cancer. I'm almost done, Walter. Walter, I'm gonna bust.

I'm about to cum. Mike, please. Mike, Mike, Mike. My juices are about... Oh, Walter, I warned you this could happen. And then he falls on his side in slow motion like in that episode in the desert. Yeah, yeah, yeah. The, what is it called?

Ozymandias. But instead of, when he The, the, the, the, what is it called? Ozymandias. Ozymandias. But instead of, when he hits the ground, you know how like the dust comes up? Instead it's the cum. Yeah. That was,

Walter White gets, gets cum on his face by Mike against his will. Against his, against his will. And then, and then Saul walks in and goes, whoa, what's with the sticky situation?

What would fuck you up more? If you got taken into a garage and someone stuck a gun in your face for a long time and shot it off to the side and went back to your head? Or they kidnap you, put you in a garage, come on your face, and then throw you out? I think coming on my face. Yeah? Honestly. Because I think that the gun is terrifying. Of course. Very scary. face yeah honestly because i think that the the gun is is terrifying obviously very scary but as

soon as it's done and you're gone the sense of relief you're still you're gonna hold that fear but the sense of relief would be great you don't have a sense of relief when you get out of that garage with cum on your face so you're saying that every man has something stronger than a gun attached to his body ready Ready to be used. This sounds like some kind of like. As a weapon. This sounds like a feminist article from 2016. Every man has a weapon that's stronger than the gun.

A penis. And there's the fart sound. It's like a media player. You click it at the top of the articles. Yeah. Dude, why have we not capitalized on the fart sound yet we could we could be selling it that we could be selling that meme yeah people people aren't allowed to do it unless they pay people can't walk have we done it in every podcast for for like the past how many episodes i would say at least the

last 50 i'm kidding no way like since 200 at least really but 50. I'm kidding. No way. Like since 200 at least. Really? But wait. So 200 was 201 was when we had George on. So were you doing it back then? I don't think so. I think it was kind of recent, like in the past, like kind of latter half of last year. You know what I mean?

No. But I'm thinking, man, when you taught me because you used to do it. And I remember you would teach me how to do it. Maybe it's been a long time. It's been longer than that that you weren't doing it regularly because i yeah it just came as a regular thing i used to just do it kind of rarely like the like much how like sir happened where we started using it more in videos and it became like a thing but before that it was just like every now and then at a target i'd do it to you well what

i like about this one sir what i like about that like sir is like People can like easily meme it But this one is like What do you call it? It's just like You just type like P-Z-R-R Like P-F-F-R-T P-V-V-V-R-T

Or like V-V-V-V-V-R-T Yeah, yeah, that's good The V So I had a friend in high school actually That you would I had a friend in high school that you would love His name was Tim And he wore a suit to school every day And you guys would get along so well

He's so funny And he would always He was the first person I knew that had that sense of comedy Where like we'd be in class and he'd go Excuse me excuse me he's like one of the main places i got that voice from the like excuse me sorry it literally just he would always be like there'd be a scene next to be like is this seat able to be availed dude i can't for the life of me sometimes remember like the voices daniel and i would do like i know there are specific ones I like I know I got some from like him well that's just Mark's voice I mean I got I got a lot

of I mean your the voices you get I think definitely come from your friends from the friends you hang out with and the people you have over time because there's so many from high school and beyond high school and recent years and stuff that I definitely was influenced by. Like hanging out with Obama a lot. You know, I started doing his voice. Your laugh, I feel like affected mine because I feel like my laugh used to not be like, my laugh used to not be like high like this. Like, cause I kind of laugh like really high.

And cause see how I go high? Listen, when I I laugh it's like that I feel like being around you so much over the last years allowed you to be comfortable with the high pitchness of your laugh so you didn't have to go oh that's good because if you have to consciously think about your laugh while you're laughing

then you're not truly enjoying the full comedy of whatever you're laughing at the about your laugh while you're laughing, then you're not truly enjoying the full comedy of whatever you're laughing at. The best laughs are when you're just like, you just, you've run out of air to make sound with. And you're just like, fucking just, you're like,

it's like you're charging up. I was like, like where your stomach starts to hurt. My dad has like a, like you're doing an ab workout almost. Yeah. I mean, have you ever had like a. Like you're doing an ab workout almost. Yeah. I mean, have you ever had like the day after you throw up or something, like your stomach, like your abs are sore from the.

I don't throw up too often. I don't either, but. Because I'm not, you know, I'm not getting high on meth and ketamine and all these fucking weird ass dopey drugs that you and the kids are always doing. I don't take those dopey-oids. Dopey-oids. Son, you smoking dope? my dad still says dope he's like smoking dope son are you high on dope i'll call him and like if i'm kind of like spacey like son are you smoking dope my mom's always like after i'm after i'm uh retired ryan ryan after i'm retired i wanna i wanna try it i wanna try i wanna try it a bit and i'm like i can't imagine my mom strung out like she's done it on on weed has she ever done back in the day i think like in college i don't count i think everyone did in college well yeah apparently my dad has only smoked weed and that's it.

Well, actually, no, he didn't say weed. He's like, I tried hash, which I guess that's just like a 70s term for. Hold on. I'm going to look up. So I tried but hash. Hash is just another word for weed, I think, like an older term, like reefer. Dude, I wish it was called reefer more is a is a drug made by compressing and processing trichomes of the cannabis plant it is consumed by smoking

typically in a pipe oh just hashish hash hashish okay yeah it's just uh so yeah just smoked weed we got we really got to start doing honestly i think if we want to take our channel and business to the next level we have to start doing those synthetic designer drugs like k2 are they like what is that what is a synthetic designer drug drugs that are synthetically designed by the size and designed in a lab okay well literally exactly that but like how are they legal they're not legal so like like, why would I do them? LSD is a designer drug. Why would I do them?

Weed's legal. Alcohol is legal. Well, K2 is better than weed. K2 is synthetic marijuana. You can buy it at gas stations back in 2008 and it would make people kill themselves and crash their car. Dude, synthetic marijuana. Do you remember when it was legal still?

When it was like real, before weed was legal legalized there was that small phase where like people figured out a loophole where they were like oh we can sell k2 which is synthetic marijuana and like the smoke shops and stuff yeah and it just would like fuck people up for life like i read things like someone did it and it's like i was never the same afterwards just from fucking and like i've seen videos of people on it and you'd think they're on like Just from fucking, and like I've seen videos of people on it and you'd think they're on like heroin or meth. They're going crazy. And also, dude, the scariest. My mom said our acting was very good. In the sketch that's coming out this week.

Isn't poor taste to say tweaking out or is that still, is that fine to say? Tweaking out? Yeah. On what? Like on Paint Thinner or not Paint Thinner. Oh. When we were huffing. No, tweaking's a thing.

I mean, I see, I see people tweaking all the time. My mom said we did very, very good. Cause she has to, she has to go to downtown Columbia and I'm sure she, she sees examples of it. I mean, air, air duster is one of the most abused drugs in America. Also, it's, it's literally like that will kill you. It gets you high by, by damaging the nerve endings in your brain. Not even as a joke, kids. In the video, it's funny, funny, but don't huff computer duster even once because you can die very easily.

It will kill your nerves. Anyway, K2, fucking scary. We should do it for a video. I don't think you, like, I don't even know if you can still get it. I mean, I'm sure you can, but like, I don't think anyone out you can still get it. I mean, I'm sure you can, but like I don't think anyone out there, like, on the deep web's like I'm gonna get some K2 today. Well, it might be you might not be able to, like, know where you can get K2, but you can probably find

D-A-T-U-A-R-A? No,'t i don't i don't know most drugs besides the big ones right datura is terrifying it's i would it's you couldn't give me a million dollars to do it and i i'm bringing this up because i'd still like to try molly at some point i i really want to try ecstasy ecstasy mdma but i don't uh i'm on antidepressants and I'll die. I could. Not good. You get serotonin syndrome. I'm not on anything. Maybe, so I'm good. You know, MDMA just got it got classified as

a breakthrough research status by the FDA. So they're allowing trials to go through with using MDMA for therapy and psilocybin. I need to get on something probably. MDMA, take it every day. Yeah. Take Molly every day.

Okay. Every day. That will melt your brain. So I never have the depression stage. And as soon as you calm down and you feel even worse, just take more. All right. But Datura makes, I don't know why anyone would willingly do it. I know it because I watch some horror channels and they all have a video about it it's like the scariest stories of detour and it just makes it

basically like jesse ventura jesse ventura detour it makes you like go to hell like that's like the best way to describe it like you start tripping it can last for days but it's like dmt sounds like dmt sounds like you go to the fifth dimension yeah it sounds like hell it doesn't sound like hell to me it sounds like awful incredible sounds like incredible DMT sounds like you go to the fifth dimension. Yeah, it sounds like hell. It doesn't sound like hell to me. It sounds fucking incredible. It sounds like incredible. You know how much fucking shit, if you can go to the fifth dimension, imagine what other fucking horrifying bullshit

your brain can come up with. I don't think my brain would do that. I don't think I'd be in the right mindset. You have a more positive outlook on drugs. I get scared when I think about doing them. I want to do DMT just because I want to. Because I don't want to be in a bad mindset and then like fucking be trapped in some sort of

manic phase for like weeks because of it yeah the scary thing is that drugs can affect you afterwards I want to alcohol I watched Joe Rogan talk about DMT last night with his friends Joe Rogan's a fucking

he's just a Chad a complex individual you know yeah let's do DMT for a Patreon video he's just being a dipshit right now

yeah that's all I mean he's been a dipshit I mean we're all dipshits from time to time but him in a way to where it's

it's it's it's scary scary stupid his redeeming factor is that he's a good podcaster and interviewer he just gets people talking and i think you and me and joe rogan should do dmt do you think he'd want to yeah dude he loves dmt he's obsessed with dmt everyone want to do dmtT with two 20 year olds.

Yeah, of course, dude. He wants to be young. Yeah. I just did DMT with two high schoolers and it was a, woo. Cause the thing about DMT,

Southern accent. No, that was, that was my dad. Okay. Okay. When he was telling me how he did it with two high schoolers, uh, behind,

behind the Walmart in Charleston. But this was when he was in high school. No, this was recently. He did DMT with two high schoolers behind a Walmart in Charleston. Good for him. The one off of Sam Rittenberg Boulevard. You know, life is war and peace, and as long as you

can find some peace amongst the war, it's all fine for me. Exactly. But everyone says the same thing with DMT. It's like a tunnel, and there's like a portal or like a light at the end, and you have to start taking DMT, you's like a tunnel. And there's like a, there's like a, like a portal or like a light at the end. And you have to start taking DMT, start smoking it and you get closer to it. And if you don't smoke enough,

you don't go through it. But if you smoke enough, you go through it. And then you're like in the, the interdimensional realm. And you speak to highly intelligent beings. So like I just vomit. But if you vomited,

it would look cool. It'd be all like rainbow and spark. I'd start like playing around in it. Whoa. Like running my hands through it on the floor then i come to you and i start touching your face with it on my hands i'm like whoa and i'm like freaking out stop i think i i i i'm super i'm a big proponent for like the therapy legalization aspect of shrooms and stuff. Yeah. Because I think that it's great for therapeutic reasons. I do shrooms again.

When it's monitored under- We've talked before. I don't think I do acid. I don't think I'm wanting to do acid again. I just do shrooms over acid. I did shrooms kind of semi-recently. The only time I've done it in a long time. Yeah, but it sucked.

But I did it with- I'll just say I did it with another another big youtuber and it was kind of you can't name them i won't because people would actually they would kill me yeah uh but it i you know it was it was all right it was just like they just wanted to watch movies the whole time i want to walk around listen i want to walk yeah experience the sun i want to have conversations sun down i want to talk about like it's i sound like a hippie you still have that fucking drawing yeah i do you keep saying you do and i don't think i've ever seen it i have it to my closet so interesting the one you did yeah the one i did when we were both on acid back at your uh apartment and see that's therapy that's there that was therapeutic for you yeah

that was crazy i i just like listening to music like listening to music there's a very therapeutic essence to it I can just come to all these realizations that it's like but now I don't want to face any of it so I'm not doing that then take more force it again it's just therapeutic

because afterwards I'm always like oh my god that's such a simple answer but I never realized it until now or it like, that's an answer I've always known, but it hasn't clicked. Well, back when we were living in the big house, I remember I had some sort of like revelation that I told you about our situation because we were a bit anxious in it. Yeah, that was awesome. I can't even remember it. I was on, I mean, I was on acid. Dude, that's when I jumped from. That was the first day, time you did it, right? Yeah.

And I babysat you. When Mark is away, the boy shall play you know aka doing designer drugs in markiplier's house doing acid in markiplier's fucking mansion jumping from the balcony into the pool which he would never allow us to do with my clothes on too dude i have that there's that picture i have of you where you're coming out of the pool and you have that big smile on your face like you're all you're just fully clothed you look like you've just been reborn dude it's cause like I jumped from the the balcony into the pool on

acid that could have ended poorly by the way but anyways you really wanted to and I was babysitting you so that's pretty much actually on me for letting you do that yeah but I actually I wanted to see it and then like coming up out of the pool afterwards and seeing LA cause we had that fucking gorgeous view at that house

when we lived with them. People dox the hell out of that house so people can go see the view online if they want. But that god damn, that view. And Mark would never let us jump off the balcony when he was there because he's like, no, that's dangerous. So what safer way to do... Didn't he do it though? I thought he did it for some reason. I think

he did, but he didn't want us to do it. And what safer time to do it than on a mind-altering drug? You looked like you were having fun, though. I was, and then the second time I did it out here was when I was at your apartment with no famous

YouTubers. Tucker was there. He wasn't doing it. Yeah, he was making faces at us. Okay, Tucker was just He still says to this day he wasn't making faces. It's ridiculous. It's gaslighting me to be like, I was on acid. He's gaslighting us then. That's what I'm saying.

I saw it too. We weren't imagining it. He would do this. Hold up. He would do this, right? He would go... Yes! Right? He's like clown faces. So like a couple years ago, we had like a Friday evening. Have we told this story before?

No, we haven't okay ryan came over to my apartment and tucker came over we had another friend come over uh and ryan and i took lsd and tucker and the friend tucker was the only babysitter right or did the friend she didn't take it oh she didn't okay it was just uh they just got drunk together okay got it but you and i were and tucker kept looking at us but like he did the thing where it's like he's looking at his eyes and like oh his his but even when he's not just him staring at you and he knows that like you realize you're staring at him and you just look and it's like i'm like tucker stop playing with faces because tucker's face is

scary as fuck especially when you're on acid we're sitting there and like he keeps looking at us going like he'll just suddenly make his eyes wide for a second back to normal and i'll see like his like his eyes like uh duplicate into infinity over his forehead and i'm like ah tucker stop and you go i'm like dude and he did he denies that he did this but i remember specifically you remember specifically when we're making this up he was making little faces because when when you're on acid you're're not fully incompetent. I can still have conversations and walk around and figure things out and see everything normally.

Do you get this on acid? It's like a metallic taste in your mouth? Or it's like this kind of, I don't know how to explain it. It's like my teeth and my gums and my whole, just inside of my mouth, it has a different tinge. I don't get a flavor, but I get the, like, my jaws. I feel like I want to grind my teeth. I feel like I just need to grind my teeth.

It's called the gurn. Yeah. And I feel like I have a lot of pressure in my head. Like, if I have a cold, it's kind of what it feels like. How did that? I remember we split up at certain points. I think I was just... I was alone walking around Glendale

at one point with my headphones on listening to music. This was right after This Is America came out. Yeah. So you listened to that like on loop, I think. I did, I did. I was listening to This Is America.

Music on loop is great when you're tripping. I found so much music in quarter one recommended to, you know, to me. Dude, Spotify's made for you Discover Weekly slaps. On my way to work today, four new songs. This week's not that good for me. This week's not that great. Really?

Yeah. There's weeks where it's okay, but then there's weeks like I said today. There's weeks where it slaps. Four songs in a row I added to my playlist. I was like, this is good. This is good. My quarter one playlist is already like hold up okay let me put it into perspective so uh all the songs i found in 2019 amounted to

nine hours and 11 minutes of of songs to listen to but then in 2020 i only got to about three hours and nine minutes totaling throughout the whole year of just songs but now in 2021 just the first quarter so far i have two hours and 30 minutes i i have look at all this this is just it's good music you show me wait what uh how do you see that whenever i get down in the dump oh i guess i should also i haven't been streaming because i haven't been in a good mental spot i'll stream soon i will i just i'm just i need to i need to figure things out for myself a little bit and i and i don't want to stream and chance having a fucking manic breakdown in the middle of it and having it clip that that's that's just what super mega needs

i we we just upload it to the channel with like goofy We'll have an editing contest Make this as funny as you can How do you see how long your year Shit is Well since I've made a playlist Like manually for each year Oh okay And then I condense it into a year You can see how long it is

So mine's about Let me see 2019 each of my playlists is about two hours and then my playlist february so far is an hour and a half and then my january one's two hours 25 minutes i did i love making monthly playlists it's the best i i had to stop because some months i would only have two or three songs and i felt like it was a waste of like space so like for me i started just doing just this year i started doing like I'm doing in q1 so it's just gonna be q1 q2 q3 q4 that I mean that works great especially for me because you you

I feel like you uh you explore music a lot more than I do I tend to stick and replay to like a lot of things more often than not I just find a lot of new music a lot because of uh I mean one of the big reasons is I live with the Tucker Brothers and they're always playing stuff like, oh, this is good. And I'll just am it. Or if I hear a song on like a show or I find a lot of music online just randomly. A lot of YouTube recommendations and a lot of the, I really like my Spotify is like suggested for me has learned over 10 years what to do. So that's, that's,

that's pretty nifty. Oh, I brought up to tour earlier. Cause I want to see if anyone in the comments has done that. Cause it literally sounds like you just go to hell because you're stuck in this trip and there's like blood and eyeballs and spider legs and shit. And then when you come down, everyone's like,

yeah, I was never the same and I can't focus on anything now. And my brain's fucked up and I have a 24-7 sense of dread. And I'm like, what? It's a toxic flower that you eat. So I want to know if anyone in the comments has done this and if they have, what's their experience? Did you find out in the wild and just eat it? And then all of a sudden it's just like.

No, people buy it to trip on it. And I've never heard once. And if you go on like the drug subreddit or something. But it's not like when you say flower, you can't find it out. You can't. It's a common flower. Okay. It's the, I'm sure you've seen it before.

It's the seeds and like the pod, the pod and seeds of this. It's called, what's the flower? It's devil's trumpet, which is like this flower. How do we break down things to know what they're made out of and to know what's inside of them how do we identify things like how do we begin to even identify and categorize things and separate them and make sure that they're actually not a combination of different things and i don't know it's just like there's so there's so much life that was lived before us it's like i i sometimes am in bewilderment of how we were able to parse so much out in so little time as a species.

Because like if you think about all the information that's like out there, it's crazy. What we've learned, not only what we've learned, but like what people have made over time through generation. And to think of we weren't even accelerating like as a species as fast as we could have been because of historical events and pandemics and stuff and like imagine out there another like another like star system a planet like earth that maybe started intelligent life like a million or couple million years before us and they didn't have any those events they could be fucking like fourth dimensional crazy beings. Just living in headsets. Yeah. Living in the air.

I feel like maybe we could be one of the first. I think there's a ton of other like advanced intelligent civilizations out there, but I think that just because of the universe is still so young, maybe like we are among one of the first. And there's a lot that might be at the same level. It's like, yeah, but like

I guess if everything might be made up of the same stuff, but like how similar, like would technology be a thing to another species? You know what I mean? Even though they are so advanced, like did the butterfly effect just work in a certain way in in in in our evolutionary timeline to where things just progressed to that like certain ideas were made as a boom like could it progress any differently or was it always like how can we harness like they haven't discovered harnessing electricity yet just wait like yeah i think i think there's some like there's there's things that each like intelligent society would like i guarantee that other if like on another planet there's an intelligent society i guarantee they've

discovered if they're advanced like they've discovered electricity they know how to use like fission and stuff like nuclear energy they know how to do all this and that obviously with differences because they would be completely different but there's what is it's like 69 sextillion earth-like planets in the known universe and with that number it's like if a planet is is just like earth like that like same like zone and could have water and stuff and like a protective atmosphere if there's 69 sextillion the odds of none of them having a super advanced civilization is like zero pretty much it's just like how many would be like primate based i mean there could be ones that are you know well i don't know because like maybe maybe in another one like uh like like squid type creatures figured out what was that step to self-actualization that primates

wondering what the fuck is that like what is that in between because it's it's like either you have it or you don't it's it like plants aren't are you talking about like consciousness yes like because like is a snail really conscious or is it just running on like a system yeah you know like i'm saying like animals can recognize self in terms of pain and i hunger not in terms of i but like hunger pain like they recognize like they're realizing you are you the natural aspect of living and surviving like that's just that's just innate right you're talking about being self-aware but being self-aware of your existence and not only like that's why mental health right is like such a big thing because we're not we're not meant to

actually have to think about why we exist or how much we're worth we're just like we're essentially here just to survive and live and procreate right but for some reason our brain makes us think that we need to make life amount to something we need to we need to live up to certain expectations that just aren't placed by anyone else except for ourselves or maybe like shitty parents or people who who who place their own ideals on you from being young it's just what is that fucking point humans have like hit a point through evolution where like we can be conscious we where like a plant has not hit that point. But a plant couldn't comprehend our consciousness. And that's why I I'm a big believer in like I think that there's higher levels of consciousness that we just can't comprehend.

Just like how a plant. Because we're just we're just not clicked in. That's what I'm saying. It's literally a fucking switch. There are more dimensions. You can't teach a lizard to learn about itself and to feel things. Right. It's like,

it's just a switch. It's not something that we will ever be able to fucking discover. We can think about it and ponder these like things, but there there's, there's gotta be a switch. That's just not flipped for us. That like next level, which,

okay. And it's nothing that we can access. We're not good enough. Because the thing is, it's like, that makes me wonder like, are there intelligent societies out there that literally exist in the next dimension because they have progressed beyond

like this conscious dimension, like to the next point. And a lot of people think when you take things like DMT, for example, it activates parts of your brain to help you see that stuff that you normally can't see like there's so much about that that's perception because we're still fucking meat bags you know what i mean yeah but we also like consciousness in terms of like an invisible force field i'm talking about consciousness in

terms of intelligence and being just like as i said like self-identify with yourself or look in a mirror and feel sad for some reason didn't there have to come a point like one point in history where there was like a click where like the first creature or maybe it wasn't it was a mutation and then it just kicked off like where did that come from that's what i'm saying what what like what was the point why like was it it's not learned like was it a mutation was it learned what is the history behind that i think what it is i think being switched i think you know our brains as humans just became so advanced they just kept getting more advanced until the point where it's just

computing more and more and more we just read more books yeah exactly you know if if if other animals read more books then we'd be fucked but it's like here's the thing it's like like think about all of kind of like the oceanic life that's been there and doesn't hasn't been really even impeded by us like deep sea shit like how come like do you is it just like they're not given the resources to build upon to like become a certain way or to like why haven't they become as advanced yeah why isn't there like some sort of like deep sea fucking like creature that's like smart as fuck yeah like why are there maybe there isn't we don't know because there's a lot of alien like alien like life in the ocean and in the wild that that that is interesting to see the way they

survive and the way they handle living i think yeah that's you know that's a really good question it's like why out of the millions of species on earth why have we one as humans been the only one to develop even how to like talk and stuff like in in process other animals can communicate and there's different dialects of course like when you're talking about whales and structured language it's like they can kind of like convey meaning, which is the early steps of language. Well, it's like what we do. But then we wanted, but then we just wanted to like ascribe sounds to things, to specific things. I wonder what early language was.

Well, first we wanted to have symbols to ascribe meaning to things, right? I think written language came after spoken language. Do you think sim like really okay okay because i always think of like ancient cave people like hieroglyph like hieroglyph type not hieroglyph sorry like ancient like cave drawings of like this is what we see i picture like like at first when someone like sees something oh yeah yeah you know chimps can i mean chimps can draw shit i didn't mean to say hieroglyphs that is a specific actual just written but hieroglyphs you couldn't read like you read like english or something so i don't did egyptian i don't even know if they had specific like a

written because it wasn't like a book of just like lines of hieroglyphs like i don't think they actually had a specific written maybe they did i don't know i actually don't know about that so we're just talking about cave drawings here i think like there's no way they were like that elephant went up before like drawing a picture of an elephant on a cave wall to be like and like point and then like they draw like a bunch of people and then they draw like do you think there was a point where like they couldn't like how we communicated was we like drew like someone would draw like stick people around a mammoth and be like that's what we need to do yeah they're like oh oh because i mean if you can't if you can't speak like structured language and you're with a group of other uh of your like species and you see them

do that like pointing at it it's like oh that's what we gotta do teaching each other we were just fucking simple fucking primates just we got lucky we got lucky on that path because it makes me wonder like our in a million years our chimps going to be able to talk and stuff because they'll keep progressing or well we might have accelerated it because you know with the help of humans we might accelerate that process for them because we give them resources why haven't they learned to talk like why why are we the only ones well is it because like because it's weird that it is weird to think that actually there's only one on the entire planet one species that advanced in terms

of creating language and it's not even it's not even that it's like the gap is so massive it's not even that there's like one that's close behind it's like the gap is is astronomically huge because the closest thing would be what chimps yeah gorillas stuff like that yeah chimps i mean chimps are really smart but like when you compare that to a human nothing similar in the sense of like they're still communicating like all other animals in terms of like specific sounds and certain like uh whether it's like a deep grunt or more like a loud cackling like they mean certain things in terms of their mood but no they can't like specifically describe things they can't articulate a thought yeah which that's cool because i guess what they're doing did coco ever really articulate like

sentences or how to say things or like wasn't that just all kind of like not smoking mirrors but played up a little yeah because you can i mean a, I mean, a gorilla, like she learned sign language, but not in the sense where she could just be like, oh, good morning, everyone. I'm pretty hungry. What's for breakfast? I like, I think that it's cool because chimps like the way they like talk,

like that's like the, it's like witnessing like the very beginning of language because they don't have specific meanings for each sound yet, but it's like the very beginning stages of before they assign meaning to different things. Because, dude, think about how fucking complicated English is. Think about right now, everything I'm saying,

the way my tongue and everything's doing, and you can listen to it and instantly perceive exactly the emotion I'm putting out. And everyone listening to this too. You know, it's like- But it's not like animals' th's like but it's not like like animals throats it's not like if they could talk they could they they're they're physically unable to so like we evolved to physically be able to pronounce things and say things in a certain way

because i feel like yeah early primates it wasn't just like a we found out a language one day it was like they would slowly like use their like the right ones have to pass on their genes that have better that's the thing i don't know i'm not i'm not really i'm not that's why all of this is a lot of questions this is one of my favorite subjects we're not learning though but i would like to go back and maybe watch a documentary about like early civilization early early life. Early humans are so cool. It's so cool to think about. And also. Not too long ago.

It's crazy. No, it's not that long ago at all. It's crazy how recently it's like, what is it? It's like if the beginning of the universe was like a calendar year, then humans only appeared at like 1159, 59 on December 31st. And I mean, it is crazy how quickly we advanced, especially honestly in our lifetime, because when we were born, you know, the internet was brand new and look at cell phones back

then. And now we were going through a major technological stage when we were born. I don't know if we're ever going to hit one that fast again ever. Couldn't conceptualize it at the time. So we probably can't conceptualize it now. Although I don't know if we're ever going to hit one that fast again, ever. You couldn't conceptualize it at the time. So we probably can't conceptualize it now. Although I don't know. I feel like things are pretty set right now. Yeah.

It would take like an innovator because things are so it's Elon Musk. It's almost like at a certain point when you're building a civilization, it is too much effort to build upon it. it's and it's easier to sustain it you know what i mean yeah yeah yeah you know what's i was thinking about this last night one last thing before we wrap it up is like i was just laying there and i was like holy shit it's so rare that you actually get to experience consciousness because think about all the atoms and all the plants and stuff and animals. But like you, since the beginning of life, a chain went down of reproduction that continued without the the reproducer dying all the way up to you just to experience this. And this is the only time you're going to get to experience it.

When you die, you know, you're not going to, well, I mean, we don't know, but it's like you're at, you're at the, you're at the pinnacle, the finale of that chain now. And you're experiencing full consciousness. And it's like, how lucky are you to be able to experience that? The odds are like, it's like one in a trillion or something to be able to like have consciousness. Yeah. So we got lucky. It's crazy. Comes with a lot of setbacks for some reason but at the end of the day it doesn't matter in the end no because i mean once your consciousness is gone your conscious your your reality is what hey everybody poops everybody dies yeah your

reality is literally just what you perceive because nothing else is real than what your brain is taking in because i mean obviously there's it's real everything else outside but your consciousness is the only thing that matters like your perception because beyond that nothing exists yeah and that's why i think it's so interesting when that's why i've i've said this multiple times where i think of people as their own separate little universes because it fully is all of their fucking just perspectives and knowledge and like just little events that shaped them as a person and chiseled them into who they are and who they are going to be eventually because maybe then they'll look back and think about it and it'll change them more something so insignificant in the past will become even like it'll it'll snowball into

something in the future type of thing and it's just it's it's everybody has these complex things happen in their life even if you're just like sitting alone you're thinking and if even if you feel lonely you're still experiencing a perception of life that you know no one else is because it is you it is your thoughts it is you, it is your thoughts. It is your environment. It is your experiences. Yeah. And think about in the grand scheme of time, how short you have consciousness. Yeah. Gone in less than a blink of an eye. I mean, literally boom. I, I think 2021 is kind of blowing by still. It's I mean, ever since 2020 hit.

Yeah. Ever since like COVID covid started happening life's just been flying by it seems yeah we'll keep the pace up so we can get the vaccine yeah that would be nice april april is potentially the month for us fingers crossed but uh essential workers thank y'all for for listening in and tuning into this this episode of the super Megacast.
