of what we're doing right now because Because this is how she gets popular. That's all. I don't want to talk about her anymore. She pooped her pants. End of story. That's it. If you want to know who it is, it's a Republican commentator who accidentally or purposely, I don't judge, shit her pants at a fucking frat party. And if you're

asking for proof, the proof's in the pudding. And the pudding was in her pants it sucks man because it's like i want to bitch about these people so much but also like that's what they feed off of they're out like the same shit with like candace owens like they like logan paul it's like logan paul jake paul um who's who's another one, like SoFlo it's all fucking that it's not rage marketing it's some sort of, it's just like

outrage marketing it's been used for the longest time Keemstar yes, these people know they're they're just trolls they're dirty trolls I They're dirty trolls. They are, man.

I'm tired of these trolls in the Senate. You know, we have trolls in the Senate now. We do a little trolling. We do have trolls in politics, though. They're self-proclaimed trolls, too. Yeah, I'm a bit of a troll. I just love that video of Trump where he's like, we do a little trolling.

It's called We Do a little trolling. Oh, my God. Well, anyways. Do you like his new song, Lil Nas X? I do. I think it's really good, actually. Yeah. I like the music video, too.

Do you like his TikToks? I think his TikToks are. I don't go on TikTok. What? You don't have a TikTok? I do. I just don't. I don't have it installed on my phone right now.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Because when I got a new phone, I just didn't reinstall. I've never been big on TikTok. I've tried to get into it. It's just like Vine, dude. Well, I like watching TikToks that people send me. I love that. Okay, I'll make sure to send you more.

Please do. Because my TikTok, I don't know. I think I couldn't get into it because my Discover shit, like the algorithm was throwing me just the most generic shit. And I know it evolves over time, but I couldn't really stick with it. I got so depressed because I follow a TikTok account, and it's this person who takes care of marine life. So they have puffer fish.

The puffer fish passed away recently. Is it the freshwater puffers you were talking about? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, no. So cute. Let me go see if I can find that video. Hold up. If I have to scroll so much.

No, I mean, it doesn't work like a feed where it saves. Well, there's still monkeys. Yeah, monkey TikTok's the best have you seen the one where it's like the little Jewish kid and it's his dad just like antagonizing him on Shabbat for using the computer and he's like this is the kids like

this is ridiculous this is an invasion of my privacy and I've had it and like he does like all the gestures and shit this is so I keep getting this question even though I don't have dumpling anymore, but I wanted to answer it and speak to... Look at dumpling.

Hold up. Oh, man. Right? So cute. I was following this dumpling for months. You wanted to get one of those, right? I did. I did.

I did want to get... But I feel like I don't want to... I'm already taking care of Lego. I feel like I don't want to I'm already taking care of Lego I feel like I don't want to add too much and you're like it's just a fish

but it's like it's keeping up with the aquarium I don't I don't want to take on a responsibility that I'm not 100% sure

I'm be I will be able to put my mind yeah I guess no but that's good though but maybe one day well Carson and I got that beta fish Michael Jackson I will be able to put my mind to, I guess. No, but that's good, though.

Maybe one day. Well, Carson and I got that betta fish, Michael Jackson, and he's thriving right now. Like, he's been, like, usually betta fish just sit there, because he has a bigger tank with some... Mine has a much bigger tank. I got the alpha fish. Fuck. Well, he's a, mine's the sigma fish.

He's always swimming around and shit, but I like, what betta fish do is they rest on things. So like we have. Do they sit down? Yeah. So we'll have like, there'll be like a plant or a rock and he'll just get on the leaves like between two and just sit there and like take a nap. It's awesome.

Do you see him close his eyes? No, fish don't close their eyes. They don't? Mm-mm. Do they have eyelids? Do fish have eyelids? I don't think so. Finding Nemo lied to me, dude.

Their eyes are always wet. You know? Wait, did they ever blink? They blinked in Finding Nemo. Oh, I'm sure they did. I'm going to look it up. Do fish have eyelids? No, there's no way.

They're always wet, so I don't think they need them. When I'm thinking of, like, you have a full fish down that was prepared for you, you can't wait to dig in. You look. Eyes are open. Of course the eyes are open, but, like, if you take the eyes out, because some people like eating the eyes, they're like fucking googly eyes. they're flat yeah oh yeah they are he's not flat yeah they're they're not like round yeah fully he's a good little fish though he's been he's been you know killing it man trying to

i really like man fish it's hard especially when you get a fish from like petco to keep it alive because i feel like those fish are just you know they're not born and raised and shipped in good condition so i think from the bat it's kind of an uphill climb these eyes look pretty round to me sometimes well maybe when they cook it they flatten oh true true true when you look at a fish but it's because they have the same thing that horses do where the eyes are on the opposite sides of their head you know what I mean that's so weird stupid horses

I want to get a salt water tank really bad but that's always been a dream of mine to get into salt water aquariums is like a hobby and learn all about it and have one of my own but from what I've seen it's like incredibly difficult and like you

mess one tiny little thing up and everyone dies. Yeah. Including me. So well also because like I'd want to like post pictures of it on my Instagram story and stuff and then I'd fuck something up they'd all die the next day and everyone's like where's your fish? I'm like uh.

Send them back to the store. You try to like replace them, get the same fish. They're still here. Do you think people would be able to recognize different behavior? Come on. No. I just put them in the same water that killed the other one. It's a constant cycle. Every other day I have to go out and buy more fish.

I had those orchid manises this time last year. Unfortunately, they all passed. I don't know why they passed. I guess, I mean, they're bugs, so. I think it's because you fed them. Oh, yeah. I fed them bugs from outside, and someone told me it's possible those bugs could have had, like, pesticides or something. Yeah.

Because they were getting to the size now where they needed like moving prey and stuff. They needed bigger. So I went outside and I got a bunch of tiny little bugs and put them in a cup and threw it in. And then they died shortly after. They had a ball hunting them though. What I loved is they did. They did.

I remember. They loved hunting. Oh, I, you remember when I caught that fly? And you just placed it in there. And I put it in and it flew past it just grabbed it, and it started eating it. It went right through its wings and shit. Instantly, though. They're so fast.

They're crazy. Those are really scary-looking bugs, but they're so cool. I love bugs. They probably think we're scary-looking. Yeah. They probably don't even think. You know what's weird? yeah they probably don't even think no you know what's weird it's like we talked about this recently but like most animals like a praying man it's like they don't have consciousness they're

just like it's like a computer program that's just running and last night i watched uh instinct yeah and last night i watched this that's not true for uh some animals you got whales yeah no i it just some of them. Like flies and shit. Like a fly's not like, oh, I'm going to fly over here. Flies are dumb, dude. You put me in a room with a fly, I bet you I'd win that fight. My landlord's calling me.

Oh, my God. Is he like, Matt, why is there food sitting out on your front porch? Can I have it? Can I have the food? I just did the default. I sent back. I said, like, when you click in, it's like, sorry, I can't talk right now. I'm recording the super mega kiss.

What? You made a custom one. Yeah, I made a custom one. But I never thought about that. If I made a custom one that just said fuck off in language. Yep. Dude, I'd click that by accident to, like, my landlord or something. I'd click an accident to, like, my or something I'd click an accident to like my mom

or something she's always calling me Alexa text mom fuck off send don't say that about your mother

she's a sweet kind she is she's very sweet sensitive woman nubile lady of the night god she is lady of the night

she has ever since the divorce she is a lady of the night. God. She is a lady of the night. She has, ever since the divorce, she is a lady of the night. Not a, still not as big of a slut as my mother, I will say. Cecile. Yeah, Cecile makes the rounds. I've heard stories from every other guy. But they're good stories.

Every other guy? Not every guy. Are you one of them? Like, I've heard from other guys' stories. Okay, okay. And it's a lot of guys, so it's a saying. No first-hand experience from your end, right? Can I be honest with you?

We never... I'm going to stop you there. If you being honest with me is going to affect the rest of this recording session, or even my feelings about you, then I would say hold off on it until after the podcast and we can talk about it. I'm trying to, and we can just talk after. Okay. I mean,

now, now I, now I know. Well, no, so, well, you don't know.

You don't because it's what I was going to say. It was like, I was trying to explain to you why it's not that bad. Okay. I mean, why isn't it that bad? We never had sex. Oh, like, wait, like sex oh like wait like sex like like penetration there was never any penetration we there was one time it was after the show in columbia yeah uh and you know how she is uh i just it was just

hand stuff she put her hair in pigtails for you that night. I remember. And she knows that drives me wild. She knows that drives me wild. And she didn't have a bra on. I remember when she walked to sit down in the front row, I see those milkers, you know, fucking. Just jostling around. Jostling around in there. And afterward, it was just hand stuff.

Sorry, Mom, I know you're listening right now. She's like, Matt. Mom, I just wanted to say that. We did have stuff. Sorry, mom. I know you're listening right now. She's like, Matt. Mom, I just wanted to say that. We did have sex. He's lying. I know. I know. You're, you're probably in the car or I don't know what the fuck you're doing, but I hope

you're having a good day and you're probably going to text me right after hearing that. That was crass. Ryan, I just got to, you know, I got to the part where you wished me and you talked to me individually and it really made my day, sweetheart. Or now, since I said that, you think it'll cheapen it so you'll try to reference it.

See, I set you up for a no-win situation there, mom. I will not accept any sort of positive emotional reprieve. And I'm, you know, it was like a no-win situation in Columbia because I never had an orgasm. You never busted? Or even

inserted into her? No. It was hand stuff and if I'm gonna be honest, I you know, after the adrenaline from the show, I couldn't keep an erection. But, you know, it didn't go far. So, I don't think that affects much. You can just move on though, yeah. But, you know, it didn't go far, so I don't think that affects much. You can just move on, though.

Okay. I've been watching that Bryan Cranston show, Your Honor, and I watched the first three episodes last night on Showtime. It's really, really good. You're on who? On Showtime. No, the show? The show, yeah. You're on who? showtime no the show the show yeah you're on who what you said your honor who are you on

come on your honor i just met her yes dude if i gotta go to court one day i'm using that line how do you plead your honor it's really good the bad guy is the dad from Call Me By Your Name and the main guy from A Serious Man. That's one of my favorite Coen Brothers movies. It's very underrated. People don't talk about it. I still haven't seen it. A Serious Man is fantastic. I love that actor.

I'm too busy re-watching all the Marvel movies because I want to fucking torture myself for some reason. Well, it's better than any Coen Brothers movie. No. Well, probably better than Hail Caesar. I re-watched that movie. No. Well, probably better than Hail Caesar. I rewatched that. That movie was an MP3. That's what it would sound like. Yeah.

I rewatched it recently, and I enjoyed it a little more than when I saw it in theaters. It just... It was a little bit better at home. I know it's the point, but the meandering nature of the movie just didn't suit it for me. At least from what I remember. Yeah, I agree. It wasn't that fascinating or that compelling. But your honor is really...

And anyone who likes that movie is an idiot. Jackass, completely. I only say that because I can only imagine that sometimes, you know, you can't judge someone on your, I'm sure there are people who love Hail Caesar and. I'm sure there's probably more people that love it than hate it. Exactly. So. You know how many normies there are out there? Yeah, there's normies.

There's fucking. Noobs? How many noobs? How many movie noobs are out there? Movie bums? They don't watch stuff like Lincoln or Lincoln Lawyer. Or Lincoln Vampire Slayer. Yeah. Or Vampire Hunter. The Trinity.

Dude, can we have a movie night where we watch Lincoln, Lincoln Lawyer, Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Slayer. It's got to go from best to worst. Dude, I saw that fucking shit in theaters. You saw Vampire Slayer? I did see Abraham. Dude, he fought on a train in that movie. Was the movie good?

No. Oh. Of course it wasn't good. Well, sometimes it's like, that kind of shit, you're going in like knowing it's gonna be bad, but sometimes it's actually good. I don't even think I liked it for that. I was like, it's like, whenever you see a movie

like that, it's like they never know how serious or goofy they want to be, so sometimes they go goofy, sometimes they want to be like really edgy and dark and serious. Like, I really feel like if you're going to make a movie called Abraham Lincoln vampire slayer, you need to just do away with all the seriousness or the serious toneness. No,

one's going to take that seriously. Well, I feel like it's mostly to do with the acting. I feel like should have been campier than it was. I think everyone was acting as if they were just in a movie about Abraham Lincoln and he, you know what I mean? It's like, yeah were just in a movie about Abraham Lincoln. You know what I mean? What if Abraham Lincoln was a vampire?

Who came up with that fucking idea? I don't know. But Your Honor, the reason I started, I watched the first episode last month, and I started re-watching again because I learned that Chet Hanks is in six of the ten episodes. And I got through the first three and I didn't see him, which means that he's going to be in every single...

Four, five, six, seven, eight. He might not be in four. What? But he might... Definitely five through ten he's going to be in. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I just can't wait, man. It's going to be a white boy summer.

You got your ring? Got my ring, bro. WBS. You know, we were working out earlier today because you know white boy summer

first of all let me preface white boy summer is for everyone Chet Hanks said that himself on the first day he said

you know it doesn't matter your race religion gender sexuality white boy summer is for everyone

exactly so it's also black queen summer he announced just like all lives matter right and you know

I'm just getting fit eating kebabs you know I got a you know jorts like the tight jorts with rips in them it's gonna be awesome man

yeah no you know the one thing I disagree with is he said no dad hats he's been setting like what he's been setting rules

for white boy summer I can't vibe with that one. I'm wearing one right now. No Sperrys. What? I don't wear Sperrys. I fucking hate Sperrys.

But, I mean, you can't be... You gotta let the white boys live. They've been living in subjugation for so long now. Well, what he said... With this cancel culture. I know. You can't even flirt anymore. What he Well, what he said. With this cancel culture. I know. You can't even go on it. You can't even flirt anymore.

What he said was he said, you know, I'm not talking Donald Trump white. I'm talking like John B. Jack Harlow type white. So like, if you guys listen to Jack Harlow, you know exactly

what this summer is going to be like. Wait a second. Here's some stuff we have to read for money. Yeah. Ad reads.

responsibly. Like Riff Raff White? I don't think Riff Raff White. I don't think Riff Raff... I don't think he's very white, Boy Summer. I don't know.iff Raff, I don't think Riff Raff, I don't think he's very white boy summer. I don't know. What about James Franco? As his character in Spring Break.

Yeah. Actually, Carson said as soon as our white boy summer shirts get in, we gotta watch Spring Break. I've never seen that movie still. I watched it in high school and I didn't get it. And I thought it was so bad. Apparently it's really good. Because I didn't get the,

I just thought they were trying to be fully serious but I would love I want to rewatch it well sometimes I mean like at the same time if a movie doesn't do a good job you know

I was also in high school and I was you know I hadn't had my mind expanded yet by by meet the Spartans college democrats

disaster movie yeah yes yeah movie 42 43 I um that one's not even yet by by Meet the Spartans College Democrats disaster movie yeah yes yeah movie 42 43 I um that one's not even

a spoof movie and it's awful well I mean it's a it's like a comedy sketch thing not another teen movie hey

Chris Evans was in that you know I've actually I watched that on Comedy Central when I was a kid and I loved it he

he's he's he's kind of naked in it and then there's a foreign exchange student who's topless I watched that on Comedy Central when I was a kid and I loved it. He's kind of naked in it. And then there's a foreign exchange student who's topless. Yeah. At the window? I think her name's Areola even.

I remember that. And I remember they blurred it on TV and I was like, oh. Come on. And it's the brother and sister that fuck each other. Dude, it was the biggest fucking tease late night. Comedy Central Girls Gone Wild comes on. You're like, oh. Because the censor bars sometimes, they get real tiny.

Like in that one picture of me that you censored where I'm holding up the Amiibos and spreading my ass. Well, you mentioned it. It's a Streisand effect, dude. No, I know. I mean, it's already out there forever. It's like. But. Ew, gross. I watched the roast of James Franco last night

or part of it I think that's like when they started getting like the newer comedy bros like on the comedy roast I feel like it just lost a lot of it's edge there were some really good zingers in the James Franco one

there was a lot against Jonah Hill that was really funny did they go after I will say there were some really good zingers in the James Franco one yeah there was a lot against Jonah Hill that was really funny did they go after James Franco for for his DM stuff

no they did not was that before or after I think he went on fucking like cause they don't a lot of times they don't hold back on shit

I think he went on Kimmel about it his publicist is like Franco come on it was His publicist is like, Franco, come on. It was a prank. It was like, I'm trying to remember. There was just some funny moments.

They just roasted him for being pretentious. Roast of James Franco. Did you catch the roast of Justin Bieber though? That was in 2015 watched part of it 2015 yeah and he says

he's like what do you get when you give a 15 year old 200 million dollars a room of has-beens trying to maintain relevancy by dunking on someone

yeah and I thought that was pretty funny this is really good it's like self-deprecating actually dude the roast of Bob Saget okay so you know how like in hollywood

they they drop hints sometimes about certain people and it makes sense later like the kevin spacey stuff like so many shows reference oh is this about like him being like weird on full house or whatever well you know it starts kind of goofy because uh um gilbert Godfrey goes up and he's like Bob Saget raped and killed a girl in 1990 and like he's telling people like if anyone wants to speak out to come forward

and Bob Saget's just like what? and then every other fucking joke is just about him being a pedophile I don't even know if that's a joke like I don't know what that is. It just makes you go, what? And then every other joke from everyone else was about him being a pedophile and fucking the Olsen. Every single one was about him being a pedophile.

And like when all those comics were saying that, like, I mean, maybe they know something we don't. Yeah. Unfortunately, you know, it's Bob Saget come on he's America's father I can't maybe I shouldn't have said what I just said wait yeah he sues people

we're under the same podcast network yeah he legitimately sues people Bob Saget, I, Ryan McGee, love Full House. But if you did those naughty things, if. If you did. That's naughty. Then I cannot enjoy Full House anymore. That is naughty, Bob.

But there's, no one has come out. Are you just going off of jokes? Yeah, the roast. Oh, okay. Just going off the roast. Okay. But it was like everyone one has come out. Are you just going off of jokes? Yeah, for the roast. Oh, okay. Just going off the roast. Okay. But it was like everyone made the same joke. Everyone made the same joke that Jonah Hill is an asshole behind closed doors.

I've always kind of felt like he was a, even in, even in, um, uh, this is the end. People joke about him kind of being a pretentious asshole. I, cause he's just yeah. I fucking love Jonah Hill. He's a favorite of mine. Out of that crew he's my favorite. Yeah? Yeah. I loved him in Wolf of Wall Street.

I like Craig Robinson. Craig Robinson's really funny too. I mean Danny McBride though. How can you compete? He is always the like my favorite part of whatever movie he's in like his entrance in This is the End is great

he's just so we watched two Danny McBride movies last week we went on a little creative retreat and this is the end those were the movies we decided to watch yeah we were working on something God Land of the Lost just I don't know it wasn't well I mean

what I noticed is a lot of those movies like the comedies just kind of like back then it was funny but now it's like I mean comedy's kind of changed a little bit so well Seth Rogen's always kind of been the way he was in This is the End but in terms of it's just I know what you're saying in terms of like those Will Ferrell comedies too

maybe it's just because we were younger and that was funnier when we were younger I mean it is I mean it was it was a fun movie you know if you're in a theater when you're in high school when you're like

mom and dad or in my case my dad and my stepmom I still I mean I think this is it's gonna be an unpopular opinion I was gonna say I think This Is The End

is like the best one they did and then people are gonna say Pineapple Express I'm gonna be honest I didn to say Pineapple Express I'm going to be honest I didn't enjoy Pineapple Express I only saw it recently I didn't think it was that good I didn't think it was funny I like Pineapple Express I think it's a good comedy but I definitely like

I think I enjoyed This Is The End my first watch more than I liked Pineapple Express on my first watch I do have to say the Eminem interview and the interview see the interview and uh the interview see the interview was the one that i did not like i think that's my least favorite one yeah that one was uh i remember walking out being like i didn't like that but i uh the eminem part's funny the interview when eminem comes out on on tv well it's it's like watching SNL like there are some

bits where you're like oh I like the idea of this or the idea of this joke or what's going on the in the scene it's comical it's it's it it makes me laugh but then for most of it it just misses you know yeah well it's um James Franco misses a lot for me in terms of comedy see Ryan because after Super Mega I'm gonna have an acting career I'm trying to preserve myself right now by not saying things about other actors that might come back to bite me in the butt when I'm gonna star

in a film with James Franco but yeah I agree with you but I love James Franco James Franco was like a big part of my childhood and his first thing with me was fucking uh fucked you no oh it was fucking uh harry osborn harry osborn spider-man samurai oh yeah i forgot he takes these like serious roles because he was also the first role like i ever saw him in uh he was also in... What was the first role, like, I ever saw him in? He was also in...

I didn't watch Freaks and Geeks. Wizard of Oz? Freaks and Nerds. Wasn't Seth Rogen on that, too? On what? Freaks and Geeks? Yes. That's kind of how they got their start, right?

So it was Paul Rudd, right? Wasn't, like, all of them on Freaks and Geeks at one point? No, maybe I'm thinking of Wet Hot American Summer. Except Paul Rudd was... I just love Drake got his fucking star from Degrassi. One of my cousins would always have, not always, but would have that on occasionally. And I can remember Drake. I didn't know who he was at the time, but I remember his character.

He was in a wheelchair. What a successful... Because he got shot in the back. Yeah. What a good glow up, man. I've been re-watching Will Ferrell movies lately i re-watched uh anchor man so i re-watched anchor man 2 which i still thought was pretty funny a lot of things missed that i thought was funny before when i was in high school but you know you get older you change but uh i thought

i laughed my ass off because i didn't realize this in high school, but in like the very first scene of, of, of Anchorman too, like he just like walks by Drake on the street and he like looks at his wife's ass. He's like, damn,

she's got an ass like an onion. And like, just the fact that you see Drake in a role like that, I think after, I think he's gonna calm down on the music at some point and become an actor. You think? Like do like serious, like movies and shit. Yeah. He's a good actor. And I, I think he has going to calm down on the music at some point and become an actor. You think? Like, do, like, serious, like, movies and shit. Yeah.

He's a good actor. And I think he has the... From what you've seen in Anchorman 2? No. I mean, like, on the shit he's been in, like, shows, and then also... What shows has he been in? Like, Degrassi. Oh.

But his music videos... I guess I haven't seen his acting chops. He's done music videos where he'll start with like a sketch or something and he's a pretty good actor so I could see him entering like serious acting I could see him more so in like

kind of being good at dry humor or like dry acting he'd be good in comedy I think I like when people like that do shit like comedy cause it is kind of like the opposite side of the coin. But then I also watched Blades of Glory. Oh, God.

I only saw it when I was a kid. That is a time capsule of a film, too. 2007. It could only come out in 2007. Dude, I didn't realize it was John Heater was the co-star. Yeah. He had like a moment and then just vanished. He was in that. He was in Big Swar Yeah. He had like a moment and then just vanished. He was in that.

He was in Beach Warmer. He's mostly known for Napoleon Dynamite. He makes out with Pam in that movie. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, he does. But dude, he just disappeared. Maybe on his own volition.

I think he did because he got a family and I think he just quit. He probably made so much money off of Blades of Glory and Napoleon Dynamite. He's like, I'm good. Well, unless it's like you become someone like, I don't know, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie. Like when I think of movie stars back when I was younger, like those big names. Like there's still that, but it's less. I feel like it's less. it's it's less i feel like it's less the people are i feel like as a society we hold them to a a less a lesser now like they're not as they're not this like golden boy iconic type shit where

it's like oh my god they're up in their castles looking down it's just like oh there are people online talking about bullshit and they say stupid things. Like we get it because of social media. We have like an eye on all these celebrities now and we're like, oh, you're just an asshole. Or oh, you're stupid. Like what people do with us. You know what?

Who do you think is the biggest celebrity? I think it's, for me, I think it's maybe a tie. Like in behind closed doors, the biggest asshole, I think it's for me I think it's maybe a tie like in Behind Closed Doors The Biggest Asshole I think it's Alec Baldwin Tom Cruise I'm gonna say

Harvey Weinstein now I don't think that's necessarily fair and here's why that's like a Buzzfeed article and here's why yeah but like I didn't enjoy Blade's Glory that much I didn't laugh very much And here's why. That's like a BuzzFeed article. And here's why.

Yeah, but like, I didn't enjoy Blade's Glory that much. I didn't laugh very much. And, you know, it's just kind of dumb. But I will say Anchorman 2, there's some moments that got me cackling. It's that Anchorman universe. It's so good. You know, do you think they'll ever release a 3? Hopefully not.

I don't. I doubt it. They're wringing out that towel. Will Ferrell is working right now with... Is it Paul Rudd or Judd Apatow? One of the two. He's working on something new for the first time in ages. So it's like, I'm assuming obviously a comedy. I remember I saw this like serious movie he was in.

Everything Must Go. Oh, yeah. I always wanted to see that. I never did though. It's like his wife leaves him and he has a yard sale or like i just i think it was just forgettable i don't remember much about it i don't remember being like whoa this is great this is very small and it was interesting to see like him in something smaller but i think some dude gets pegged in that movie

who was in knocked up who was in knocked movie. Who was in Knocked Up? Who was in Knocked Up? Was that Seth Rogen? Yeah, that was Seth Rogen. And what's her name? She essentially almost, she essentially got blacklisted for being an asshole. I forget her name though.

She played the love interest. She was in Grey's Anatomy. Dude dude I just got listed for having a black asshole I burned it really bad with some matches last night but what about a Zach and Marie make a porno that's Kevin Smith of course

I saw that one on Comedy Central when I was a kid as well and I was so touched by it Zach and Marie sex scene it was a you know it touched me well. I was so touched by it. Zach and Marie sex scene. It touched me. I mean, I touched myself while watching it. You know, Jay's in the movie. Baruchel?

And you see his penis. Jay Baruchel? Yeah. Baruchel? Yeah. Really? He's not in much, is he? Well, no, he's a... He plays the guy who's usually doing the fucking...

He's also in How to Train Your Dragon. I forgot is he? he's the main guy no not not Jay Jay from Jay and Silent Bob

Kevin Smith oh okay not that not that Jay sorry I was thinking of the Jay that's friends with like Seth Rogen and James Franco

no no no no oh okay that when I say Kevin Smith I was linking I wasn't paying attention to the last name that you said. That's my bad.

Ad break. Nice ads right there, man. Those are some great ads. I really appreciate those ads that we didn't record in the beginning. They want us to do them earlier in the podcast. What? Yeah. They don't like it when we put it like 40 50 minutes what's what time do we

we at right now i don't know let me go check they want like 15 and 30 fuck fuck 33 minutes okay 15 and 30 that's good okay i gotta also address something you guys salad you guys made such a fucking big deal that my voice is different which it's not I can't I think they were memeing me no dude people like legitimately I think it did

sound a little different like more more congested that was that was so much blockage in your yeah and and I'm still a little bit swollen up there because I'm almost done healing. Like, I can, you know, move my nose. But you breathe like a fucking normal human now, my man. It's awesome, dude. Does it feel great?

Dude, for anyone that has a DVR septum. Now, imagine going on a hike and getting to the top and going, I can actually smell shit? Like, it likes being stronger. Your taste must be better. Mm-hmm. So when I eat that stanky pussy You know what I'm saying bro Or these nuts

I saw we have a package by the way Addressed to Welvin DeGrate I saw in the mail room We'll open that soon But anyone who has a deviated septum And a hard time breathing out of one nostril I cannot recommend getting a septoplasty Enough

It was awesome. Yeah, send Matt your Cash app via Twitter, and he will pay for it for you. Y'all got insurance, right? It was great, though. Fantastic stuff, man. And everyone's like, dude, he sounds so different. And you guys completely overlooked the fact

that we had fucking Michael Jackson on the on the podcast yeah that hurt his feelings that was that was probably not a good decision to uh because because our fan it's that age old we've talked about it before where like you you focus on one thing but the fans just they their their minds kind of focus on something else entirely like you know when you were really proud of an edit you did in like a game grumps episode you go in the comments see if anyone noticed it noticed it dan is so beautiful anything about it and then it's like yeah but at the end of the day it's like they don't come for our edits but you just want to feel somewhat appreciated for like what you did it's it's it's definitely i don't want to say

it's not an ego thing but it's you all you have to have some sort of self-confidence you got to have something to to hype you up so you're like ah i'm gonna i'm gonna fucking do better next time i'm gonna blah blah blah they can't wait for the next one like when we posted that naked picture of us but we were holding up that award we wanted no one even focused on the award they just focused on our penises i know that pissed me off because It's like, hey, that's not the focus here. The focus is the award. We won the award. The award. Got the award, man. When are we going to win some awards?

That's what I'm wondering. We haven't won one single streamy. We haven't even been nominated for a streamy. Why have we not been nominated for a streamy? Gus Johnson fucking up there on the stage collecting his golden medals.

Let's try best Let's Player duo as a category. Best funny YouTube men. Okay, the next streamies, you guys have to pull some weight for us. You guys have to go and... Well, it's all fan selected, isn't it? Mm-hmm. So, I mean, we're never going to win that. Maybe an honorable mention. Fucking big, like mean, we're never gonna win that. You know how many fucking big

people there are that are above us? Yeah, but hey, man. We're more the background. You know, we're kind of like... Underground mainstream YouTube. No, I was gonna say more in the background, like when you're in a movie theater and you're trying to watch the main show and then you hear people crunching on

popcorn and taking large slurps of their drink. that's us sometimes we get to break through and take your attention away we haven't even hit 900,000 and I've seen people describe us as 90,000? not even 90,000 I've seen people describe us as

underground mainstream because we're well known but we're still like are we underground though? we're definitely not big but we're still like... Are we underground though? We're definitely not big, but we're definitely not underground? Yeah. I mean, I think it's mainly just because we don't have a million subscribers. Yeah. When like, once that M comes into play, get rid of that K.

Oh. Ooh! Yeah. Ooh! Michael. Yeah, dude, I can't wait for that day. That's going to be a good fucking feeling. Finally hit a million subs.

Get that plaque. I'm going to be so, I'm going to give you a big hug. How long has it been since we hit 800? Weren't we 700 some last year? We've been stuck at, we've plateaued really bad with the sub growth. Yeah. Like views are fine. And, you know, like interactions fine. Well, we have all of these wonderful the sub growth. Yeah. Like views are fine. And, you know, like interactions fine.

Well, we have all of these wonderful people supporting us. Yeah. No, the people supporting us are so supportive. And you guys are the fucking best. The growth, just like new people subscribing is at like a very low point. We're only in like 5,000, 10,000 a month. I feel like we just don't make, I don't know. I mean, we don't make stuff for like, I think like a mainstream wide appeal audience.

Because I think our shit's a little, A, gross. And B, um. Well, it like throws people off with the immaturity sometimes. I'm sure the loudness sometimes. Yeah, it's kind of niche. It's, you know, annoying. Only real connoisseurs of comedy would understand the complexities of fart jokes, farting into mics. Doing that.

Making the same references over and over again for five years straight. These nuts. I love it. Damn, Daniel. It's so good. God, that shit is great, man. But I don't, I honestly, like, there was a point where I would let kind of thinking about that bother me. Yeah, me too.

But now I'm just like. Especially comments. You're never going to get rid of the kind of like little kids in the comments that like, I feel like sometimes I give too much credence to comments that are actually from a child. Just in general on the internet. It's like, oh, I let a 15-year-old on Twitter ruin my day with his opinion. Because I give them the voice of like a 50-year-old man for some reason. I give them the voice of like someone that's like...

My age or older. Yeah. And like is like... It's like, no, it's actually a kid who's doing their geometry homework right now and is about to go take a nap with their body pillow. And most of the like chill vibe, just like, I guess. Yes, I'm going to say you only like positive. Yeah, of course. I'm a fucking human.

I don't like people bullying. You don't like when people say negative shit about you online? I don't. Like that. You're such a dick, dude. I'm sorry. Well, then get another job. Get another job.

Hell no. Look, if you're a bitter asshole, just try not... I don't know. This isn't me. You can be mean to me. There's other YouTubers to be mean to. You can be mean to us. Go be mean to other YouTubers.

People are always going to be mean to us. But I think for the most part, our fans are very supportive. People are very understanding and nice. Sometimes... There's always going to be people that are going to be shitty. Always. That's life.

That's literally life. Some guy threw a Coca-Cola at my car the other day because I was going too slow for him. I'm sorry Jackson did that. No, yeah, it's fine. He was having some roid rage. Yeah.

But that's not just YouTube. That is life. It's just like, it's fine. He was having some roid rage. Yeah, but that's not just YouTube. That is life. It's just what comes with the territory, especially when you have one of the biggest fan bases in the world.

Yeah. Well, dude, like, whew, people start coming after you when you get so big and famous and handsome and muscular. Yeah.

Like us. I might have to stop the working out because if I get too handsome and muscular. If your muscles get too big they might pop like our big brains might pop

that's why we have to sometimes fake being stupid because we want to understand what it's like to be an ant we want to understand what it's like to be a viewer an ant same thing does an ant have a quarrel with a boot?

Loki, the Avengers have not seen that. But, uh, oops. Yes. You like that? Uh,

but my dad, one of the best things my dad ever told me when I was a young boy, that's always stuck with me. Yeah. I paused in case you wanted to insert like a funny... No, I take you seriously. Okay. I respect you as a human.

Well, I was allowing it if you wanted to. No, it's fine. Do you want to? No, no. Okay. My dad said, son, in life, not everyone's going to like you. And you can't make everyone like you. People are always going to hate you, no matter what.

Just like you don't like everyone you come across, you know? Yeah. Like, you shouldn't put the you come across, you know, like, like what you shouldn't put the onus on yourself to be loved by everyone. That's such a, such a, not a stupid way, but that's, that's,

that's not the way to be looking at shit. You're also going to hurt yourself because you're, you're looking for acceptance in places that you don't need it. Like you're not going to get it. Yeah. That's why you need to stick like to your family, like your close family and friends. At least that's what I do. Like I put all of my kind of like mental energy in terms of like what do people

think about me like i try not to look too much into the comments for that now honestly what um it like comments and people being shitty on social media like has gotten to me. And it gets to every... It can't not. Yeah, no. Other huge YouTubers we know say the same thing. And you would never guess it, but they're like, yeah, my day was ruined yesterday by one comment. It's one of the reasons why I stay off of it mostly.

Because I know that regardless of how much fun you know, fun I'm having, you know, on a, on a social media platform, it, it, it ultimately does take that one comment. That's just, that's just cutting for no reason. Social media. Or just bluntly stupid and ignorant for no reason. Yeah. That really just kind of like gets at you and gets you overthinking it. And it's like, I just don't need to be thinking of that.

I'd rather have fun with my friends while I play video games online with them. I'd rather be thinking about a big pair of tits. I'd rather be jerking my boy off as he's editing the podcast today. You know, I might have already come at this point when I'm listening to editing. That's the thing, man. As I said, there's such a small, we dedicate so much time and talk to them a lot, and there's such a small subsect of our fan base, because most of our fan base are super awesome people.

We've met a lot of them at live shows. Oh my God, so fucking- All you guys are so fucking cool. Super down to earth and cool. There are some drooling freaks out there, I'm sure. I mean, if you watch us, it's kind of a prerequisite. I understand. We have had some interesting fan encounters

before. But like... One where I was scared for my life. There was one where we actually were like, hey, security, can you Can you guys remove this person? We didn't say remove, we just said keep an eye on. Yeah, it's kind of freaky. Kind of freaking me out a little.

Yeah. But. Yeah, man. Now everyone's wondering, was I that? Was it me? You're not. If you're thinking that, it wasn't you. Yeah.

It's. I promise the person will never. Probably never hear this or ever think it was them. Yeah. It's that type of person. Now they're like, wait. Stop. You're good. You're fine. Thanks for supporting us. Thanks for coming to the live shows. I Now they're like, wait. Stop. You're good. You're fine. Thanks for supporting us. Thanks for coming to the live

shows. I hope you had a good time. Unless you're a freak. And hopefully we get to do more. I was thinking about that last night. Like doing a big tour again. We gotta hit the Midwest. We never hit the Midwest. I've never been to the Midwest. Thank you to everyone who supports us. Whether it's

coming to live shows, like, sporting our merch, or honestly, just fucking watching our videos and interacting with them, or just, at the base of it, just watching our shit, because that's a lot of time out of your day. And thank you for putting and locking that brain and eyes towards these funny fart men, you know?

Yeah. See, I personally don't have the attention span to sit down and watch a 20-minute Let's Play at all. Also, maybe because I've edited literally thousands at this point. Yes. Both, like, combined, you and I. So, I wonder how many Let's Plays we've edited. For Markiplier.

Our own channel. Our own channel. Only Plays at one point Game Grumps when Game Grumps did three videos a day when we started yeah

that was that was a grind that was quite the grind because at the time we were editing for our channel three Game Grumps episodes a day

a daily Kitty Cat gaming video and only plays so that was a lot of videos that had to go out and in the start of super mega, we were trying to upload two videos.

Was it two videos a day? I think. Yeah. It was double uploads. We were trying to match that, uh, game grumps consistency. What happened?

Dear God, what happened? We're people and we get in bouts and, uh, look, I don't want to upload every day. Honestly, like that.

I don't want to commit to uploading every day because a stressful as fuck. It burns you out so fast and it takes a huge toll on my mental health and yours. And it's like if we can just upload throughout the week, maybe here and there, skip two, three days. And like it doesn't mean we're gone. It just means we're, you know, catching our breath, working on new videos every single day, uploading every day. And a lot of YouTubers do it. And I mean, I do have respect for that but it is

I mean it's tiring it's really tiring I get that it's our job so it's like you should be doing it but at the same time I don't know like I hear that like it's your job but like if your viewpoint like I'm sorry is that like everyone needs to be as miserable as you or like

everyone I guess that's a bit pointed, but everyone should be miserable at a job. It's like, I'm sorry. Like you and I are fortunate and privileged enough to be in this position and it's really cool. We got lucky in a sense. And I don't want to hate it. That's why I don't want to force myself

to do videos every single day. Yeah. Because then it takes, it's not fun anymore. It becomes just a- We started out having fun. That's how we were- or came into success, quote unquote. And I want to continue having fun. And if I'm not feeling like I-

If I'm not feeling like recording a Let's Play, I'm not gonna fucking force myself to record a goddamn Let's Play. I'm not feeling like, uh, if we plan to like record a drunk drawing and we have to postpone it a week or two because we just were like I don't feel like drinking today it's just it works better if things are more organic couldn't be me

there's uh no there's times like you and I will sit down like we'll show up at the office record a let's play and like man we really need to record some videos we sit down we're just not feeling it's like yeah we'll try another day I don't want to force bad shit because you're uh i want it sounds really dumb saying this about let's plays i was gonna say like i want it like the like what we make to like speak for us like be good but it's like you know

it's let's plays well i'm not like if i just don't I would never put a job interview to somewhere where like Let's Playing was one of the things it just happens to be one of the things that we do on our channel it's not like it's not a job we have to do like we do it because we're doing it like we could stop doing Let's Plays tomorrow and there's nothing that could be done about

it because we just didn't didn't want to do it one day this channel will always ultimately if I feel like if Matt you and I want it to continue and we want it and we don't want to end up hating it

you know and we got to continually just do what we want to do and not feel forced to do shit I think you and I are both on the same page that there will be there will come a day where we will stop uploading Let's Plays. We'll still be posting shit

but the Let's Play era will be over. It'll just be time where it's like, you know, we've been doing this uploading Let's Plays for like seven years.

We're coming up on five next month. That doesn't mean we'd not come up with something to kind of take up the place of a consistent upload type thing. It just means like

we don't want to do that. And I'm terrified. Like there's been many times where I've been like, I wish like we honestly like, you know, there are times where I'm like, I wish we could just do the podcast, live action, stuff for Patreon and like not. I have to focus on like recording a backlog. Yeah. And it's like, I'm just terrified that that'll be our downfall and we'll dwindle because all the fans of Let's Plays will go.

There's definitely a large portion of our fan base. And the thing is, that's a possibility. And people will say we're lazy all of a sudden. They're like, man, they went downhill because we stopped doing Let's Plays. It all depends on how we handle it. I mean, we're not, again, people are hearing this. This isn't anything that's like from my knowledge happening anytime soon we're still gonna be like next week next week we're still gonna be uploading shit you

know this is just we're we're we're just talking here okay and matt and i both i think have come to the conclusion that we don't like i I don't see myself recording let's plays like five years from now no I don't see I don't see myself doing let's plays at 30 yeah you know I would rather be like even if

even if I'm not like posting YouTube videos consistently I'd like to be focusing efforts and money uh into like bigger projects yeah which we a little retreat been working on one i'm excited this year it's a good it's a good fucking project again it's it's the whole like we're working on stuff but i do have fun playing game i mean like, gaming is a hobby for me in general. Like, I'm going to go home today, and I'm going to play hours of Sea of Thieves.

I love watching you play, and I do love, like, I'm not going to lie, like, I love doing Let's Plays. It's easy to hit a burnout with them. That's the thing. I can see myself, like, I'm always going to be playing games. And maybe, like, just as a person. I just don't know if I want to be doing that as my sole form of like what I do. You know, because like life goes by and I feel like to a large extent there's a part of my 20s that's that's that's a haze because I was going through my own shit and I feel like I missed out on a lot of opportunities

of like personal creative shit that I wanted to do or that I want to do and I and I feel like I'd want to have more time to do that in the future yeah because it's not too late that's the thing no you're still so fucking young I just I just it's just kind of like noticing like, oh shit, I want to not waste this time while I am young. Yeah, definitely. I mean, even like at 25, I have little moments. I'll be laying in bed. I'm like, halfway through my 20s.

Yeah, you are. Fuck. I'm 25. What happened? What happened to 22 and 23 and 24? I was telling my mom, I was like, it just feels like two years ago I was 21. Yeah, he does. Because I was like out here

and we were in Mark's establishment. Sleeping in his garage. Yeah. Waking up to the bullhorn every morning. Wake up. It's time for Denny's and workout. Well, he'd come out in his Klan outfit to scare us like a ghost.

Dude, you can't joke like that. Push some buttons with that one. Dude, stop that. Sorry, sorry. Well, he'd come out in his clan outfit to scare us like a ghost. Or some buttons with that one. Dude, stop that. Sorry, sorry. Yeah, but our LA arc has been interesting in how much it has transformed over the last six years

and how much has changed in all of it. It's a wild story. Well, it's definitely of it it's it's a wild story well it's it's definitely of course i'm not gonna go into it that much but it it what my vision of being out here is completely different it's like yes i'm still working on youtube and stuff but like the people i was around the the company i kept you know like yeah all of that was just a different fucking era

and then you know there's there's different eras but there's the there's the kind of like when you when you first moved here

before you know you you visited Blonde Boys you came joined Syndigo that was it's own era we knew nobody out here

and then there was the you me and like Mark era and then there's the Grumps out here. And then there was the you, me, and Mark era, and then there's the Grumps and us era, and then there's this. I separate the Grumps era into multiple parts, honestly, because

Game Grumps changed so much from the time we got there to when we left. Uh-oh. They're saying it. They know some shit. No, I mean, it's like just the overall, the channel changed very much so. And also like the office, you know,

I kind of have like one era with the old office. And then we're like, it's kind of like the honeymoon phase of when you kind of like first get a job and are meeting people. I love it. Like you're gaining all these new relationships and friendships and you get this constant kind of like,

um, social interaction, which was good for me. Cause you know me, I'm a hermit. So like coming into an office with people was always nice regardless. Yeah. And,

uh, I mean when we were working with Mark and even after that, we knew nobody. The only person we knew out here was Frank and then Aaron befriended us and Aaron was really nice and was always inviting us out to group things Ross was super chill we actually

Daniel and I played Smash with Ross and I think it was Daniel and I versus Ross and he was Kirby and I can't he's always fucking Kirby and he kicked our ass he's good yeah well I think I played

Bowser Jr. it was me as Bowser Jr. I can't remember who Daniel played as for the life of me damn we didn't know anyone

and uh you know as we did Super Mega we started to branch out and talk to people which is great because honestly

when we didn't know anyone that sucked the Game Grumps was kind of like the lightning rod because creative people were kind of coming in oh yeah we met a lot of people through game grumps honestly i i think i've just i mean for you and i like we always were really we had our own channels and shit but we were mostly earning our income from working in the background of other people's channels. Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Oh, we made, yeah, absolutely. We didn't start becoming self-sufficient as SuperMega

until we left Game Grumps. I don't think we could have lived off of just our SuperMega paycheck at that time point. And now that we're billionaires, obviously, it's easy but i never dreamt of like what you said about picturing what la was going to be like and what none of this dude i never pictured having an office or i never pictured you know having a fan base and so many cool people and i never pictured uh getting to know so many cool people and having the opportunity to

make cool shit and see people's reaction. I never thought that I just thought I was going to be editing for Markiplier. For me I had a vision of I feel like back then I was 21.

Not that much younger I I guess. But I definitely had a different way of looking at things, I guess. Oh, yeah. In terms of whether it's social or... I just feel like I learned a lot about myself in terms of the limits i'll go with social media and with other people who like just other others in general yeah um and a lot of i think a lot of my kind of like what i imagined

out here in la was based on kind of like because you have to remember like daniel and i knew each other in high school you know we build this thing you know we're both not the Midlands Tech College students so you know not not not the university students that I guess you you'd think you'd you'd think of when you think of South Carolina because you'd have to just go to a university to you know get a degree to earn a living that's just kind of like the mindset that you're instilled with um and so for Daniel I do that we came out here you know it was like me and him versus the world and then when he passed away just my whole fucking perception of like my future and my present all changed because my life was like essentially like like just combined with Daniel. Cause we were just kind of living the same going through, you know,

we were, we'd go off and do our own separate things of course. But this was our journey. And then now that, then that journey ended and there was no kind of like clear viewpoint as to where life was going or what I was supposed to do. And so I felt like I was meandering for a bit in that kind of like mark period of like, what am I doing? So I just kind of gotten like a wheel.

I just kept like a gear, I guess. I just kept spinning and spinning. And ultimately, like, I feel like I settled down more. I'm like, okay, so now I have like this new journey, this new kind of thing. And instead of, I guess, putting too much thought into like what I want out of the future of this journey, I'm just kind of trying

to enjoy it as it goes. Yeah. That's, that's a great way to put it. I never thought about it this way, but I guess like we kind of,

kind of like saved each other's lives in a way because like without the other one, both of us would have just, just, there would,

we wouldn't have made I wasn't, I wasn't, I wasn't coming back out to LA if you weren't. Oh, same. No, there's no fucking way no i and i i was even i remember um meeting you at the airport to go back to la after like two months in south carolina and i remember uh when i was getting dropped off i remember like like i was shaking and i i felt i was felt like i was about to throw up because i was so nervous yeah about it um so like but i mean you and i just kind of uh that's you and i didn't really become good friends until after everything happened

you and i were getting closer before it was like both of us were really good friends with daniel yes and then you you pop onto like my stream at one point when I was playing like Until Dawn. Oh yeah. I think you and I were like testing

like kind of like actually getting because we were good. We were fine. We were cordial, whatever. But like I don't feel like we were like friends.

We didn't really go out and do much. Yeah. But then afterwards it was really. Because it was a trio dynamic and then it, you know, got changed. And then it's like, it was a trio dynamic and then it uh you know got changed and then it's like oh okay well now it's different yeah so we gotta gotta

start over and you and it's weird to think because like you we're talking about like what you envision because like your vision starts with you know moving out here my vision like i had i didn't know who you were when i moved here so like so like the first time we visited and so it was just it's just crazy how life works out i guess you know what i told well you know what's weird i told initially i told mark no i didn't want i remember that and i went dude daniel and i were so i remember i called daniel and I were so, I remember I called Daniel and we were both, we, we were both ranting about how stupid you were. Well, I changed my mind. Oh yeah.

Because I thought about it some more and I was like, wait, we were like, he's so dumb. I've always wanted to do this. So like. You weren't going to get another chance, dude. No. Well, that was, that was, my mom was like, you should do this because, you know, you've always wanted to do this type of thing and it's a good uh door to open for your future and we support you like dropping out of college to do this because and luck yeah like it doesn't work out for that many people but we got lucky and we put in

we put in work and yeah it worked out for us we put in a lot of work and and a lot of luck and you know it's like uh that the way i saw it i was like this is like life only gives you so many opportunity certain opportunities for certain things and i i was like if i pass this up this is never gonna come again there's not gonna be something like this and i'm gonna go and finish college and get a job i hate so i was like like, and also my mindset was like, you know what? I could, my parents were like, just maybe try it for two months and then you can go back to school if you don't like it.

Honestly, it felt like when Daniel and I took the job with Mark, a part of it, even though we were taking a job, a part of it did feel like a lottery because we were moving our whole life. You and I, I think about this and it's crazy.

Just on the other side of the fucking continent. We just moved our entire life over there. Different coast. And just, you came on my radar right after you guys moved and you were, um, you and Daniel had just moved in at a, at an apartment. And that was what I met.

You guys was like, it was, you would, you guys were fresh out here. You tried to interact with me before you came out, but I wasn't really having it. I didn't work too well. I was just like, who is this guy talking to me?

I've been talking to Daniel for so long and I was like, I want to get to know Ryan. Because you came out in February and I visited in May for the first time. Oh, yeah. So upcoming May, it'll be six years since the first time i came out to la because i'd never been to california before before that it's such a short amount of time it's so weird because like when daniel and i moved out here i remember being in

so many kind of like different locations that and doing so much and then like we lived in our own apartment then we ended up living but that was such a small like it wasn't even a year's time daniel and i were even out here i wasn't even out here for a month yeah before that and that when i think back to like that may in 2015 when i visited first of all that was like the best fucking time of my life probably and then but that that era like when i really think back to it and i remember like the smells of the apartment or like walking to get jamba juice it's like it's so different it's such a it was such a good era it was but also it's so foreign now

when i think about it like it feels so it's like wow that is so gone and foreign i will say there is a part of the grumps era because you and I moved into the same apartment building that Daniel and I lived in. And right next door to the only open one they have is directly next door to the old apartment. Yeah. So there was like there was this weird, bitter sweetness of living there again where it's like you got to do like there was the sushi right down below that would always always go out of business and then a new one would pop up you know movie theater walk away just the americana area in general just walking around listening to music if you just wanted to go out going to king taco or 7-eleven late at night pineapple juice like it definitely i was a bit worried moving in because I was like, oh, is this going to be like too much for me? Yeah.

But it wasn't. It was it was it was I think there are small things that it's if you can overcome and face them and move to a kind of a healthier place and in healthier place. I mean, just not letting I guess not letting your traumas control you. not letting, I guess, not letting your traumas control you. And I know that's hard to say because it, or, or think of, because like, I trust me, I know like that there are times where shit comes out of nowhere and there's no really planning for it. But if you can, if you can kind of just put yourself in a situation to where you have to, even in a small way, face something that might be a little like, oh no, is this going to remind me too much of this? I don't know. I'd say take it because you'd only grow from it. And if it's not, and if you don't vibe with it, then that's fine too. Yeah. But in my case, you know, I was, I was, it was moving

into an apartment. So I was signing a lease. So it was like, is this going to be a little too much? Yeah. I, well, I think you and I both A we loved that apartment I think we were like we were like man I love the vibe and I feel like we didn't get to

experience it enough we wanted to go back and I mean that's really where we started Super Mega I mean we started Super Mega at Mark's house like the first few uploads but like a week later

in the movie theater room that we painted purple that was great yeah that movie theater room I remember painting that and then the projector fucking always fucked up. Oh my God, yeah.

I remember. That's where we recorded the first Mario Maker episode. Was it? Yeah. Did we record a podcast episode in... No, our first podcast was in the apartment. Okay.

We didn't do... We were teasing... We were going to do a podcast, but... We moved out in like May 2016? Or April? I think it was May. Okay. I think it was May. Okay. It was 2016.

Okay. So me coming out for the first time, everything that happened, all of that was exactly in one span of a year. Jesus. And we've been here for six. Well, almost six for you. It's crazy to think of like how actually small that era is compared to so much happened everything else well i think it's i i think it's specifically because so much happened that it's hard to fathom all of that happened within a year and when bad things

happen i think it tends to make a a time period feel a lot longer. And it made a long lasting impression. Because time flies when you're having fun. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You know, not so much when you're miserable. Every, yeah.

Every now and then when I'm in Glendale, I drive by the old apartment. I look up at the windows. I'm like, that was it. That's where we started. Sometimes you see Lego or banana looking out the window. Yeah. Well, I still drive by like today and I look up and I see it. I actually, on the corner of that apartment, by the gate that you would get led into to go to the gym.

That was the first place I was dropped off in L.A. Like my L.A. adventure started right there. Yeah, it was right there. And then mine was some house Mark was renting at the time because he. renting at the time. Because he... He was... He was dealing drugs under the table and he had to make sure

that he had several safe houses. And so Daniel and I got to stay at one of the safe houses. That shit happened on that one time where those guys showed up knocking at like 2 a.m. And you guys had to hide. Yeah.

That was probably no... Nothing good. Because I remember what you were telling me is they were banging hard and yelling. Yeah. But, I mean, if you hide, don't make a peep. They'll go away. How many people have died from, they're hiding from a killer and they sneeze? They're just like, no, no.

And they try to hide the sneeze and it goes. I could just see like out of habit, you and I are hiding from a killer. And it's just like, sir, he's nuts. Damn, dude. I hope Welvin gets some help and is doing better. Yeah. I saw a video of him sleeping on the street.

I think we talked about it on the podcast. We did a while ago. I don't know. I don't keep up with his day to day, but I hope in general he's in a good place. I hope he is doing well, you know. Deez nuts, man. What a classic right there. All right.

Or should we just end it with well wishes to Welvin? Well wishes to Welvin. Well, everyone in the comments, well wishes to Welvin. Well wishes to Welvin and well wishes to all of you. And now I know that I won't go to this comment section to look up what people are saying because it's going to be filled with well wishes to Wellven. Which is what we asked for. Yeah.

Well, and that also means they listened to the whole podcast. Exactly. Thank you. That's awesome. Now we have proof of people who stayed the whole time. So we know who the real fans are. Exactly. And they sat through the ad reads. Sat through the breaks. They probably skipped the ad reads. Yeah. Which is okay. Yeah.
