Kate, the real test is, will he use the BMO Toronto FC cashback mastercard? Well, if he wants to earn cashback on his purchases, he will, and... Oh, hang on.
Starting point is 00:01:26 He's at the computer with his card, and he's done it! Oh, clicky-click! Magic trick! The click heard around the room. You guys just about finished? Sorry.
Starting point is 00:01:35 We got excited. Thanks for snagging those tickets. Make every purchase highlight-worthy with the BMO Toronto FC cashback MasterCard. Er, well, I think it's like from a biological standpoint, this is the best for child breeding.
Starting point is 00:01:49 It's like, what are you talking about? They're like, Mary had Jesus when she was 14. Yeah. So what's the issue? It's literally the, I'm not even kidding. People forget Mary was a child. Okay. Sorry to interrupt.
Starting point is 00:02:00 Is this how you guys do your podcast typically? You just start into it? Yeah, yeah. Like I can just cut in. Just like, by the way, welcome everyone. Do you have a formal? Like, hey, guys, welcome back. No, we just start talking and just go.
Starting point is 00:02:16 And then maybe five minutes in, I'm like, oh, by the way, welcome back, everyone. Oh, once things are comfortable. I kind of like that technique. Yeah, yeah. It's not a super structured podcast. We just talk. Just rambling. It's not like we have a list of topics to talk about.
Starting point is 00:02:32 No, this is episode 283. I don't know how we still have things to talk about. I was really scared we would run out of things to talk about one day, but I guess there's just always some new shit to talk about. It's possible to run out of things
Starting point is 00:02:47 if you aren't doing stuff. That's true. You guys are doing stuff. Well, also, at 283 episodes in, I'm pretty sure we're just retelling the same stories that we told, like, episode 20, but we've just forgotten
Starting point is 00:02:59 because we've recorded... If you were to start the podcast, like, right now, and listen to it without breaks, I think it would take, like, it's almost two weeks to listen to the whole thing yeah so we've said a lot of stories like i'll tell a story i'm like oh dude everyone's gonna love this and the comments are like you've told this three times like i have no recollection of that you should maybe like upload all 200 and however many hours to youtube in one long video yeah cause I think you can
Starting point is 00:03:26 cause then you can like transcribe it in some way so you can like did I tell this story before type in like a keyword in that story and you'll know how many times you did it having a transcript of literally almost two weeks of us just talking non-stop how big would that be also I'm sure
Starting point is 00:03:42 like I'd go back to like the early episodes and just see stuff I'm like ah yeah we should have it streaming on twitch live yeah well see i wanted to do like a 24 7 podcast stream that's always playing episodes but i'm like there's probably some shit we said in the earlier episodes that i just would rather not have that just playing now there's a lot of we brought up to the surface because it's like at the beginning we were trying to like separate ourselves from the Markiplier type fan base. And to do that was to be like extremely edgy. And that involved us not really thinking about jokes or like writing a script.
Starting point is 00:04:14 You know, we're recording Let's Plays and podcasts. So it's very off the cuff. Edgy as hell, dude. Yeah. Yeah, like 2016. Because when we worked for Markiplier and then when we left,, we had a lot of Markiplier fans, and they're awful. It's like 13, 14-year-old girl. No, I mean.
Starting point is 00:04:32 Markiplites? The Markiplites are all right. They're really, really just creepy, and it's just like the obsessive 14-year-old girls. That's funny. People outside of, I would say, like Markiplier's audience would have no idea that there's this, I wouldn't say hierarchy. Maybe it is a hierarchy. But like there's like that much of a distinction between like people in his fan base and others. There is. There is.
Starting point is 00:05:00 People send for that man. They love that man so much. He gets really good views. Still, dude. I'm like, what the fuck? He has like, what? He's like 30 million subs now or something? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:05:11 We lived with him. Like, we were like the OG content house before. One of the first. One of the first. Before all those guys. We, Markiplier moved us into his mansion. It was him, me him me matt and then our friend daniel right and it was it was uh an interesting experience we have a beautiful
Starting point is 00:05:32 view of downtown la i remember we both were looking out at that view with the pool and like we're never living in a place like this ever fuck yeah i was like i was like i'm just soaking up now because i'm never gonna be able to afford something like this. It was so nice, though. That house was incredible. And then Mark's dog started chewing holes in the wall. Like, in the drywall all over the house. She would go up to the side, like, the wall and just start gnawing. And there were holes, like, this big in the wall.
Starting point is 00:05:56 It's just like, you walk in and there's just, like, dog hair and then just, like, holes. Then she got her period and just... That's right. All over the house. He didn't get her spayed soon enough. And she would get her period and drip blood All over the house. He didn't get her spayed soon enough, and she would get her period and drip blood all over the house. He's probably like, I'm getting cancer. When we went to dinner with Markiplier,
Starting point is 00:06:12 he told us that his dog takes dumps in the house. Oh, yeah. Don't worry about that. What is it? The Roomba. The Roomba shit. Oh, my God. She took a shit in the house, and the Roomba spread it all around.
Starting point is 00:06:24 He came downstairs And like This was right after we moved out Like a week or two After we moved out We had a lot of horror stories In this house This house
Starting point is 00:06:31 We had a big ant problem Oh the ants were fucking On the walls and shit It was like a beautiful house too Oh yeah I never would have guessed I mean When he said that his dog
Starting point is 00:06:40 Took big dumps in the house I was genuinely shocked Because I knew He was talking about how it's basically service trained, right? Isn't it hardcore trained? I think it was all undone in the first month because that dog was
Starting point is 00:06:52 super trained and purebred and stuff. And then she just it all reverted within a month. That's the stupidest dog I've ever met. She's so sweet. She's so sweet. She's super sweet. She's like an incredibly loving, just nice pooch.
Starting point is 00:07:12 She's like eight now? Eight. She's got to be like eight-ish because Lego's turning eight. Oh, wow. Yeah. My dog's turning eight in July around there. My dog's turning eight in May. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:22 Yeah. It's kind of like the first time I'm like, whoa. I know. He's getting up there because he's a German shepherd. They're like nine to 12, right? Yeah. So. I got my dog
Starting point is 00:07:33 when I started doing well on Twitch and I was like, okay, I financially can have a dog now and it freaks me out that my dog's almost eight because that means
Starting point is 00:07:41 that I've been doing internet stuff for almost eight years. Goes by. Yeah. We're just, we're about to hit six years on this channel and I'm like, fuck.
Starting point is 00:07:49 That's so weird. Bring it back to Markiplier's dog. We love her. She's great. What's her name? Chica. Oh, right, Chica, of course. Her name was Sephora.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Not after Five Nights at Freddy's. He changed it. Five Nights at Freddy's. He says it's not, but that was right in the prime time. Oh, yeah, dude. I was going to say, is the Fred Eye, is that like the Pete Radgumai thing? Have you seen that before?
Starting point is 00:08:14 No. What is that? You know what's the Pete Radgumai thing? There's this guy. No, now I have to because of the reaction is very. Well, I mean. I'm sorry to also ruin the connection. No.
Starting point is 00:08:24 I feel bad. Okay, well, let me first say, Anissa and I were going to go to, like, a notch party at some point. Oh, my God, I'm jealous. We've always wanted to. I know. You heard about the candy room, right? Yes.
Starting point is 00:08:35 Okay. It's all really stale, though. Like, he doesn't eat any of the old stale candy. Just old Skittles in a jar. It's like a tube on the wall. We really wanted to see this place. We thought it was so interesting. We knew it was going to be odd.
Starting point is 00:08:50 So it was a Halloween party, so we wanted to dress up in a cute couple's costume. And we were so close. We were going to go as Markiplier and Chica. Legit. We went to Petco or whatever and printed out like a dog tag that said Chica and she was gonna be Chica literally engraved
Starting point is 00:09:07 Chica on the dog tag oh my god we were committed oh yeah I didn't know you guys had already knew about this dog I had like dog ears
Starting point is 00:09:13 that I made it was my first cosplay attempt and I had disemboweled there and I had cut the skin I'd skinned it and I made ears
Starting point is 00:09:21 and paws out of it wow I was like really yeah it was good it was really good. It looked like a Five Nights at Freddy's type. Well, you got to impress Notch. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:29 But we wrote it out as Chica Fishbach. Is that his last name? Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was going to go as Markiplier, of course. But we were like filming something. I think we got in a fight like in the middle of me preparing for it. So I had bleached my hair, getting ready to dye it, I think, black and red or some combination. Oh, you were going, like, all out.
Starting point is 00:09:53 Oh, yeah. We were committed. Wow. But we got in a fight, so I only bleached the hair. And then we just ended up not going because we thought we were in the worst mood. But that's our sort of connection to Mark and Chica. That's crazy. I had no idea you guys had such a deep.
Starting point is 00:10:10 What a small world. We were super into the whole Chica lore. I was just super interested in it because, I mean, I didn't do anything special with my dog, but he definitely doesn't take dumps in the house. So when I was listening to him talk about it's pure purebred it's been trained like to be like a service dog and um he like takes it to the place the breeder to like for vacations it's so far away i would have to go and drive the dog for him sometimes the dog chica the fucking dog miss chica yeah yeah well we we knew him for a bit I knew him since he had like 50,000 subs
Starting point is 00:10:46 yeah and Daniel had Cyndago what? yeah he it was 50,000 so that was back in 2012
Starting point is 00:10:54 that's crazy yeah cause you guys you liked his voice and you wanted to get it for a video and then he flew down to South Carolina to hang out with you guys
Starting point is 00:11:00 from Ohio and like eventually he hired Daniel and I to come out and then Daniel got Mark high and convinced him to hire Matt as well that's amazing hang out with you guys. From Ohio. And eventually he hired Daniel and I to come out. And then Daniel got Mark high and convinced him to hire Matt as well. That's amazing.
Starting point is 00:11:09 The origin story. This was right after I visited for the first time and I had just met Mark for the first time. And I just got a call while I was cleaning the kids room at Chick-fil-A. And he's like, how would you like to come work for me? And I was like, okay.
Starting point is 00:11:25 And I dropped out of college and moved out here. Who is that? What is that voice? It's a cartoon character. Cronk. Oh, it's definitely Cronk. Yeah, that guy. Cusco's poison.
Starting point is 00:11:36 The poison for Cusco. That was so fucking crisp. What the hell? Poison for Chico. Do you think his voice is real or is that? It is. It real? It is. Obviously in videos he puts it on a little bit more. It's actually unfair how good his jeans are.
Starting point is 00:11:53 Besides the height. He has the biggest penis of anyone we have ever seen in our life. I never would have guessed that. We never saw it straight bare skin but we saw it through It looks like someone trying to put socks in there to be like, yeah, I have a big penis. It literally, he was getting out of the pool once, and it was just like that.
Starting point is 00:12:14 And you could see the whole outline and the definition. And Ron and I were like, holy shit. You guys just being this... That's such a fucking funny... That was the first time I met you. But also, why did he have an erection swimming around with us? We were just having a good time. Hey, you know, can't fault the man.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Happens sometimes. No, but he. I think he was, we told you about him, like, downing a couple glasses. Oh, classic story, yeah. I always heard that story, and I was never sure to be like, is that still? It was, like, such a neat, fun event to like meet people. And I was like, oh, you know, totally new to the space. Like, oh, the Game Grumps office.
Starting point is 00:12:52 Like, this is so cool. Oh, was that the Game Grumps office? Yeah. Oh, that's where it happened. They were celebrating Ross's or someone's birthday. Yeah. And. Because Max was there too, right?
Starting point is 00:13:01 Yep. Yeah. Yeah. He was visiting. We were there for E3 and I was his cameraman for E3. It was kind of a weird thing. Max always sniffs out the weirdest shit you can find. When he goes to parties with Max or goes to events with Max,
Starting point is 00:13:15 he's always like, I'm at Rice Gums Mansion. It's like fucking 2 a.m., and I'm like, how the fuck did you get there? Max just finds. He sniffs out the weirdest shit possible all the time. He does, he does. There was a guy who invited, he said, you want to come to the Versace Palace? Whoa. That's all he said.
Starting point is 00:13:33 And Max was like, yeah. I do want to go to the Versace Palace. And they did. By the way, the Versace Palace is just some old guy's apartment that has five Versace items. The Versace Palace? I thought it was called the Palace. No, it's literally an apartment. It's so unpredictable, right?
Starting point is 00:13:55 You're invited. Somebody says, do you want to come to the Versace Palace? And you're like, yes. I would say yeah, no matter what. But you're expecting. You're expecting it to be like a little home. One Versace.
Starting point is 00:14:04 Like a crazy mansion. And then the second half, fountains in the yard. Versace walking down the stairs. By the way, it's like a 500 square foot apartment. Wait, but I pictured waterfalls with a walkway. Were they associated with Versace? Was it Mr. Versace? The name is Cody Brown, who was a game...
Starting point is 00:14:22 He did YouTube with... Was it Quebel Cop for a bit? Yeah, I think so. Or he was on Quebble Cop's roster of gamers. And so he was pretty... Quebble Cop's roster of gamers, like he owns 100 thieves or something. No, no, they were starting a network. Remember him
Starting point is 00:14:38 and Mark and Sean and Felix and stuff? Revel Mode? Oh yeah, Revel Mode, I remember that. He was on that yeah yeah and he was like pretty relevant like he was getting pretty good views because he used to do like strip tease fifa with my girlfriend it would be like a thumbnail no oh okay but like and then it would be like a thumbnail of this girl like you know taking her clothes off and so he'd get a lot of views for that um but so at the time when max and Ian had met him, he was like at the height of that.
Starting point is 00:15:07 I'm pretty sure. Right. Not really. He was sort of falling. He was falling off of it. But that's when he invited them to the Versace Palace. Okay. So.
Starting point is 00:15:16 So what's not like an official place? It's just his apartment. And he calls it the Versace Palace? I'm trying to think. Can I look it up on Google Maps? It's there. So wait, it's just a place that he called the Versace Palace? I'm trying to think. Can I look it up on Google Maps and it's there? So wait, it's just a place that he called the Versace Palace. So you know how when you do like an Airbnb, you can kind of call it whatever you want.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Okay. Okay. I think that's what it was. And it's just like a marketing scheme from some old rich guy who's like, how do I market this Airbnb to young, rich people yeah so it's not affiliated with versace okay not even the slightest okay okay this is like a versace shirt inside check it out how brave he was about it though delivering it in that way like he sold it well oh yeah i was so gotta be confident yeah you guys want to go to the versace palace it's like
Starting point is 00:16:01 you gotta sell it you know well if it's in like a 500 square foot apartment, you really got to sell it. Yeah. Yeah, hard. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, our confidence was dwindling when we show up and we're like at the bottom of an apartment complex. And we got to take the elevator off.
Starting point is 00:16:18 I'm like, I don't think a palace could fit in here. You're driving down the street and you're like, where's the palace? You're like looking for a big fucking manor of some sort, I'm sure. A manor.
Starting point is 00:16:29 With the grounds that you have to drive through with hounds sitting on it. You're waiting like, okay, where's the gate where they let me in? Like swans and like a little pond
Starting point is 00:16:36 in the front yard, like a moat, some koi fish. Oh, dude, we should do, at the Sue Megaplex, we should Airbnb it so we have like visitors
Starting point is 00:16:44 like staying in the other room while we're recording. That would be very funny. I'm not going to lie. Just have some random couple. Sounds epic. And then just know it's like, hey, well, I mean. Well, that is the experience you're selling is that you get to sort of be in the same, occupy the same space.
Starting point is 00:16:59 We won't let them know ahead of time. They'll get here and be like, what? This is the Airbnb? It's from the outside. It's like, oh, this is awesome. This is a nice house. And you get inside and it's like just this weird,
Starting point is 00:17:09 almost creepy, like 70s porn kind of mansion. It does have that vibe. Yeah. And I would love to have someone come stay here and not let them know about what we do.
Starting point is 00:17:19 And then they just have to hear us screaming. Well, when we talk to our landlord, it's already like, like when we have to fix something or he comes in, it's, there have been times where we've not really realized
Starting point is 00:17:30 and we just had like, just for gags, you know, you throw up a suction cup dildo on like the wall. Yeah. Yeah. And we had like,
Starting point is 00:17:37 like guns on the table. And this is like his childhood home where he has like memories. Yeah. And so he's probably like looking around with his hands on his hips. Like, he did.
Starting point is 00:17:44 Like, I remember he did. I remember I hated when he would come to the office because it's his house but I don't want him to see really what we've done to it. For example, on the wall, little oopsie there.
Starting point is 00:18:00 And then we have all these signs up and gay porn on the wall. So he comes over and we forget to take that stuff down. Sometimes regular porn, too. Yeah, sometimes. Every now and then. I think he saw our porn clip.
Starting point is 00:18:13 We have a porn DVD collection that's like... It's poop porn. It's a lot of stuff. It's stuff from Japan. Yeah, we bought some stuff in Tokyo. It was for a bit in a video where we bought the DVD player, like a portable DVD player. We did a Patreon video where we like watched it. To specifically watch them.
Starting point is 00:18:29 Because you can't watch them in like DVD players here. It's PAL. Yeah. So I couldn't make it through. I gag. There's no way. I gag easily. Like I've never made it all the way through like Two Girls, One Cup, for example.
Starting point is 00:18:40 Apparently that's fake though. Did you know that? Yeah. Well, okay. It's self-serve ice cream. Exactly. What I was going to say is I think in this poo-poo porn that we watched, I think...
Starting point is 00:18:51 There's no way it's real shit, because she feeds it to them. And I think that that's not sanitary. So I think what they do is they have fake shit that she shoves up her ass and she shits it for the camera. Right. But it's still coming out of her ass. Are we going to return to... Well, but people eat ass.
Starting point is 00:19:06 Like, I feel like eating ass and eating shit are, like, way... Like, if you are clean and stuff, like, that is, like, a different thing than eating shit. Yeah, shit's just a whole different ballgame. That's, like, a different... Yeah. I'll show you guys the porn collection after this. Are we gonna... Are we gonna, like, be like, Markiplier's awesome
Starting point is 00:19:21 and then get back? Oh, sorry. I mean, I've... Some of that can probably be kept in. Yeah, we'll just call it around. I'll probably be like, sorry, guys. awesome, and then get back. Oh, sorry. I mean, some of that can probably be kept in. Yeah, we'll just call it around. I'll probably be like, sorry, guys. The next part of the podcast, we weren't able to keep in. We talked about Markiplier's penis in a fashion which he deemed uncomfortable. So sorry about that.
Starting point is 00:19:38 Blame him. But here's the rest of the podcast. Thank you. We know a vlogger who whenever his uh family says something that i imagine is just inappropriate he just goes sorry guys my mom farted or sorry guys i farted and then cuts it out so i like that yeah that'd be i'm a sucker for fart humor too oh yeah so people really uh they ask us all the time. They say,
Starting point is 00:20:06 Matt, Ryan, how do you, how do you do such a good like fart sound? Like Ryan is amazing. Like we figured out this way to do this like fake fart sound. And you want to do it? Now you put me on the phone.
Starting point is 00:20:17 Yeah. Okay. Let's see. Let's see. That's amazing. He always makes me laugh every day with it. We'll be on the phone and he'll just do it and I'll be like start laughing.
Starting point is 00:20:28 People always ask us, how do you do it? I'm so addicted to it now. I'll be walking through the grocery store and if someone's kind of in my way as a form of protest I'll just be like I'll just do the sound effect kind of in their ear or in their space.
Starting point is 00:20:43 I like that it doesn't require any extra I thought you were going to be like No no no You know using your hands I'm not very good at it He's It's about the same as us No no no no
Starting point is 00:20:53 You've got it down to like a T Well I taught you the secret You did but So I'm not as good as you But you You just It's funny Can you teach us the secret
Starting point is 00:21:00 What is this Okay so Wait wait When you were doing it just now, you were, like, pretty good at ventriloquisting it because I legit thought you farted. Yeah. Like, your mouth is...
Starting point is 00:21:14 I actually brought this whole thing up just because I was like, I really have to, and I got to, like, naturally sneak it in. Yeah, we can teach you. We're going to make, like, an official video because... It's hard to... Yeah, it's more of, like, you just have to, like can teach you. We're going to make an official video because... It's hard to... Yeah, it's more of like... You just have to feel it.
Starting point is 00:21:29 So like go... With a V. And then you higher it up. Like my teeth touching my lips. Yeah, yeah. Okay, it's a vibration. And you also use a high-pitched tone in your voice as well. I like that. Can you add a variation to it? more than the dog. Yeah, and you also use like a high-pitched tone in your voice as well.
Starting point is 00:21:46 I like that. Can you add like a variation to it? You can make it like a little or you can like It makes me laugh like a child, like a fourth grader.
Starting point is 00:21:58 It's like, we'll just be like chilling and he'll just like do that and I'm just like at my desk just laughing to myself. Like you're surprised? You know? That is, yeah. Like you're surprised? You know.
Starting point is 00:22:06 That is. Like a little accent. I think like adding some flavor to it. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. The classic one, though. Nothing ever beats that for me. And yeah, I do that in the grocery store, too. But the thing that we always like we would go grocery shopping when we live together.
Starting point is 00:22:21 And Ryan would start pulling this stunt where. At Target mostly. Yeah, Target. Like we'd be like walking like down like there's aisles like 12 there and there'd be like a guy in front of us I'd walk a little ahead sir and then like dive into an aisle so then the guy turns around it's just me and and he's like did he just yell my name I was like sir and then I like just walk ahead a bit. He'll just look at Matt and Matt will make eye contact. What do you do?
Starting point is 00:22:50 I just look down at my feet. I just start looking around like. Well, sometimes what I like, I like to do it on my own now just to watch. If you're in a public place and you're like,
Starting point is 00:23:01 sir, just that and you watch how many people like turn around. So I do it too when I, so I'll yell sir and then I'll're like, sir! Just that, and watch how many people turn around. I do it too. I'll yell, sir, and then I'll be like, what? No one's going to think it's me. It's kind of awesome.
Starting point is 00:23:13 It's kind of like cheating to get someone's attention. Go to the Galleria, and everyone's walking. You yell, sir, and you have 50 old Armenian men turn around at the same time. It gets you on edge, because if I heard someone yell at me like that, I'd be like, oh, I fucked up, I did something bad. I thought I dropped my wallet or keys or something.
Starting point is 00:23:31 I think I crossed some sort of barrier or something. Yeah, by accident. Yeah, so the old sir thing, that's classic, Ryan. Embarrassed me a lot in the grocery store with that. Just got to prank your bros. Hey, man, you got to prank your bros. You did a fist bump, but people couldn't see that on the podcast. Yeah, well, there's a camera, so.
Starting point is 00:23:50 There is a camera. Maybe if you put that in your documentary. Yeah, I'll make sure to put that in. You can see that, yeah. Pretty sweet. But yeah, welcome to the Super Mega Podcast. This is episode 200. We're half an hour into it, Matthew.
Starting point is 00:24:03 But a lot's gonna get cut. Well, I just wanna say welcome. We never said welcome. into it, Matthew. But a lot's going to get cut. Well, I just want to say welcome. We never said welcome. Welcome to episode 283. And for the past 30 minutes, if you failed to read the title and you're wondering who the two extra voices are on the podcast, I will allow them to introduce themselves. Hello, I'm Ian. I dubs. This is my wife.
Starting point is 00:24:23 Hey, nice. Come on. Hi, I'm Ian. I-dubs. This is my wife. Hey, nice. Come on. Hi, I'm Anissa. I'm Ian's wife. Is that what you do? I've given up trying to, I mean, I used to Twitch stream and tried YouTube for a bit. But I was basically, I was a twitch streamer for eight years oh wow yeah you're a veteran yeah we met uh i was actually doing really well on twitch when we met and then it kind of like went downhill i ruined her career basically i was like hey you have any interest in uh in the worst fan base on the internet? It did make it made streaming not fun anymore. Oh, no. So I tried for years after we got together.
Starting point is 00:25:16 You ruined your wife's passion. No, but to be fair, he tried to protect me like from it. He was like, we're not going to go public. And at the time, I didn't understand. I was like, why don't you want to be public with me? I was like, we're not going to go public. And at the time, I didn't understand. I was like, why don't you want to be public with me? I was super confused. I was like, this is kind of weird. And he was like, no, trust me. We don't want to go public.
Starting point is 00:25:34 But I was stubborn. Especially with a fan base like that, like the edgy kids. I just didn't know. And you were also in the same realm. We were in the same realm. So I was thinking, you know, know, like, it makes sense. And we put our ats in each other's Instagram bios, and it was game over. As soon as the ats went in, it was like.
Starting point is 00:25:52 Yeah, at the same time, though, it's like, you know, wouldn't have mattered anyway, right? People would have figured it out. Because you can't date and keep that a fucking secret. The Tana video, I filmed that. Right. And when we left the building, people filmed Ian being filmed by someone. And that's when everybody started to, like, figure out that he was with someone. Why do people care so much?
Starting point is 00:26:17 Like, they get really invested. And especially if you get, like, younger Tumb like tumblr type fans like they just make stuff up about your partner or they'll just like just go on this crazy shit it's like i'd get out of my relationship they said i was incestuous with my sister on a forum one time they come up with the craziest shit i've seen stuff before yeah where they've come up like about like me and my like past girlfriends i'm like what the fuck is this yeah like just the craziest stories i think it typically happens to people when they're on sort of like the the glow up when they really start to pop off uh it shit like that has died down so much since we totally yeah yeah yeah um it's just like when you're kind of a new fresh face and like people are like oh
Starting point is 00:27:02 like you know maybe this is you know the person I want to fucking, you know, idolize. It's like it's a conscious choice. Yeah. People are weird about like relationships. It's almost like a jealousy thing. They're like, no, this creator can't like have a girlfriend. I think what it is is that once you have like a partner, it gives it shines more light on that person and gives more context than people
Starting point is 00:27:26 are probably like comfortable with because like you start to realize like okay this is giving me more information on what this person likes yeah how they're feeling like and i've i'm like a i've always been like very outspoken politically and i think people started to see that and it just gave too much context to ian's character for some people i think yeah yeah if you keep it you know a little if you if you're a little bit more reserved online or you don't share too much of your personal life it's very easy for people to uh you know create a character that they yeah idolize well that yeah they create an like a version of you that's not really you but it's it's what they want to see of you yeah and then if if things like
Starting point is 00:28:12 uh in reality uh you know they see like you're dating someone it kind of like breaks that image and they they freak out and have a meltdown totally i think it's like a you know it's a very tactical thing to do if you're really wanting to blow up and like reach as many different like diverse groups of people as possible. Like the most famous and successful people that like remain loved and liked by everyone are all these people who are like heavily controlled their images like musicians and stuff. K-pop. Yeahson yes um and they could keep a lot of shit a secret yeah you know yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so i i think it's you know it's a smart thing to do if if that's the most important thing to you but you know there's there's a lot of entertainers that I think are doing a good job of being, like, authentic from the gate. And, you know, they don't seem to have, I don't know, I guess too much of a backlash from that.
Starting point is 00:29:14 Yeah, yeah. We've always tried to keep it real, dog, you know? We've always tried to not, like, put on a character because that's kind of exhausting so like from the beginning we've been like politically outspoken and just talk about whatever because it's like i don't want to have to put on a character when we record i just want a lot of people upset i just want to be me some people some people get upset yeah they don't get upset whenever what we talk about is more in favor of their viewings of things or whatever, but they'll get upset if it doesn't match it. We have a Republican podcast that we just do every week.
Starting point is 00:29:48 It's separate from this one, so don't worry. With the flaming football, the American flag. Oh, yeah. And it's just like talking about how that's the most patriotic flag ever. It is the most patriotic flag. I got in trouble for that almost. Yeah, so I had a Zoom call with this guy that was like a – he was going to help me figure out how to set up a retirement account. I'm sitting in the Let's Play room, and on the wall we have that.
Starting point is 00:30:16 You guys have probably seen it in the Dank Souls video and stuff. We have the big American flag with a flaming football on it. I get on this Zoom call with this like older gentleman from North Carolina. And he has an American flag behind him too, I noticed. And the first thing he's like, what do you got there on that flag? And I was like, oh. And I like turned the camera so he could see it. And he was like, what is that? And I was like, what, what, what, what is that?
Starting point is 00:30:46 And I was like, oh, it's like a flaming football. And then he just kind of goes, he's like, what's so what's so what's funny about a football on fire on the American flag? And like he asked me to like explain why it was funny. And I was like, oh, man, you know, it's just it's just quirky. And I said, it's not funny. You should have said it's not funny. It's sad. That's why I have it up. It's no joke, you know.
Starting point is 00:31:11 It shows my burning patriotism and my love for football. I forget how serious people can take. Oh, my God. In the South where we grew up, people like, I remember I was on a boat with my friend and his dad when I was in middle school. And we go past this dock that has an American flag that had been weathered by the wind and was kind of torn. And he was like, that makes me sick. That is disgusting. And him and his dad were so furious about it.
Starting point is 00:31:38 Because you have to maintain the flag. That's a law. That's a law written down in the books. Ian brought up like a... There's all these rules for the flag. You can in the books Ian brought up that you have to like there's all these rules you can't let it touch the ground you have to burn it
Starting point is 00:31:49 if it touches the ground right don't you which like isn't burning the flag do you have to burn it if it touches the ground I'm pretty sure
Starting point is 00:31:54 you have to burn it I think you bury it and you give it it's own funeral a little tombstone like it's own service you have to write a eulogy and everything
Starting point is 00:32:00 for the country you have to fold it a specific way like the like the triangle they're like the ROTC. It's like the pre, you know,
Starting point is 00:32:07 we're going to get you into the military after high school type of program, I guess, or set of classes. And they would be, I guess, in charge of always taking down and putting up the flag and folding it a certain way. And I know at funerals,
Starting point is 00:32:20 if someone was in the military, they'll fold the flag like a very particular way. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Kind of like a paper football. Yeah, exactly. You can also play like basically paper football with it once it's folded up. It's light.
Starting point is 00:32:32 Ian brought up a really good point that I think is valid is that like when the flag becomes tattered, it should be like you're viewed as the most patriotic person. Because you've had it for so long. So long. It's like, man, that guy's patriotic as hell. I don't take that down during a storm. I leave it up. I want people to know. Exactly.
Starting point is 00:32:53 That's not just up for election season. No. See? Oh, and that's another thing. Hasn't the... You know how they lower the flag half-mast whenever there's a thing? I like McDonald's. There's been a lot of things
Starting point is 00:33:08 I feel like over the past, I don't know, five or so years. I feel like every time I see it half-mast, it's like, okay, it's not Veterans Day. Yeah, same. I don't know what it is. It's not that. President didn't die. Former President didn't die. Bob Saget died. Who the fuck died? Honestly. What happened?
Starting point is 00:33:24 No, they wouldn't put the flag at half-mast for Bob Saget. For Bob Saget? She's an American dad. They might. America's funniest on videos. Yeah, that's true. Certain people, like if there was, because they're all the managers are different. They're like it's a person who runs the place, even if it is a McDonald's.
Starting point is 00:33:39 So I wonder if they're like a big Full House fan. If they're like, I'm going to fly the flag. It's up to you to discretion. Yeah. Yeah, because I do see it at half- big Full House fan. If they're like, I'm going to fly the flag. It's up to your discretion. Yeah. Yeah, because I do see it at half mass a lot. And I don't, like I have to like baffle. Like what's it for? Maybe it could be representative of that flag wielder just having a bad day. They're just like, I'm not.
Starting point is 00:34:01 They just didn't want to put it up all the way. Yeah. Like I'm just not feeling it today. Right. My feelings matter. Why the fuck do we care about, like, these macro problems? What about me? Exactly.
Starting point is 00:34:10 I have to put this shit up every day. It's like, you know what? Half-mask for me. I had a shitty day today. Do people actually raise and lower flags every day? People legitimately do. Yeah, we're up at the crack of dawn doing it. That's the problem is it's not like it's...
Starting point is 00:34:25 It's like the job of janitors, basically. Okay. It's like some weird additional pass that you've given these people who are already busting hump at schools and stuff. Like minimum wage. Yeah. It's like, yeah, get out there at six and raise the flag. Yeah. That should be the thing you're proudest of doing.
Starting point is 00:34:42 Yeah. Take out the trash and raise the flag. Go clean up some vomit and then raise that flag all the way. I'm still shocked at the chant you guys do in the morning. What is that? It's not a chant. It's a rise and grind chant. Wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:34:57 Do you do a chant in the morning? Yeah. Wait, what? I pledge allegiance. Oh, okay. I pledge allegiance to the flag It's a chant I mean everyone says it at the same time I didn't really think
Starting point is 00:35:08 I feel like a chant is more like Idiotic I mean it's pretty dumb but I just mean like simple It's like let's go Baseball Some shit like that Let's go baseball Let's go baseball dude
Starting point is 00:35:23 It was only like when I was like 20, I realized how weird the Pledge of Allegiance is. It's like you get kids to put their hand on their heart and stand up and face the flag every single day. And pledge allegiance to like children. And I was in elementary school doing that. When you start to question it, you're like, you kind of get mad at first. You're like, it's just what we do. And then you realize you're just saying it's just what we do. You're like, your brain does.
Starting point is 00:35:48 It's really weird. It's like brainwashing. Oh, full blown. I had a friend in grade five who she came from southern China. And she was like, we wake up in the morning and we do exercises. We spell socialism with our body and we chant socialism. And I was thinking as a kid i was like man that's kind of like weird i wonder if china's the only place that does that and then
Starting point is 00:36:09 when i was like 22 i saw a video of like a bunch of young americans being like i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america into the republic for which it stands, one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Woo! Hell yeah. It kind of reminds me of the... Oh, we forgot to say that at the end. Hell yeah. Enter Sandman.
Starting point is 00:36:35 What the... What do you mean? When it's like, I pray the Lord my soul to fight. That is the Jesus one. Type of vibe. The pledge is fucking awesome. Is it? I want to get it tattooed.
Starting point is 00:36:47 Right on your forearm. No, like before, I want to be able to take my shirt off and show off my muscles. And then on my chest have the entire Pledge of Allegiance. In like a gothic font. Or just Times New Roman. Times New Roman. Comic Sans. Yeah, but the guy didn't get my football flag.
Starting point is 00:37:04 To bring it back around. He was very confused. And the rest, the guy was, he didn't get my football flag. Oh, right. To bring it back around. He was very confused. And the rest of the call was incredibly awkward. Because I feel like he's just like, I found it interesting. Disrespected the flag. People take that way too seriously.
Starting point is 00:37:14 Well, just the fact that he confronted you that quickly. The first thing in the call. Like, I said, hey. He said, hey. And then, like, that's it. And I was like, and his daughter was on the call, too. So she's just, like, watching silently. There was this TikTok I watched where this guy was kind of going around trolling like a lot of pro Trump guys.
Starting point is 00:37:33 And they had like this such a variety of like fuck Biden and MAGA kind of flags. And it was so fascinating because like the guy who was like trolling was like no but seriously like all this is fun and games but the best flag is the american flag right like and he was like and the guy was like yeah i mean it's just jokes but yeah yeah so he's like doing this like reverse psychology thing where it's just like you know these are like these are great and all but like the american flag oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So he gets them to kind of like admit that it's all bullshit because he compares it to the flag.

And like, dude, we should see if we can get someone to come install a pole on the roof. So it sticks up like 50 feet with one of those. Can it be one of the ones that they have at a car dealership? Yeah, football field size flag. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:17 How much are those? I'm going to look that up. Those are so majestic. Those are the only flags that should exist. All these little small ones people put outside their homes. Well, I do like the little flags that little motorbikes have at the end. That's cute. Okay, but those and the bigger ones.
Starting point is 00:40:31 Yeah, but nothing in between. No, no, no, no, no. I also have always wanted somebody to put up a flagpole and put a McDonald's flag above the American flag. Oh, yeah. Oh, my God. If you did that in South Carolina, you would have neighbors coming and knocking. Yeah, for sure. But it would be, it would totally be fun fun just to because i think it would throw people off because it they wouldn't know what was wrong they would just be like
Starting point is 00:40:52 something's off i just want to like stick china like the the chinese flag and a bunch of like southern people's lawns they would think of like some conspiracy where like china's like trying to take over wasn't there seeds that were showing up randomly in the mail and people were saying China was trying to send them there was like some conspiracy yeah I saw that I forgot like how
Starting point is 00:41:14 that all went but it was like these mystery seeds I watched a video about it and they were like don't open them they're from China but what it really was I think was it was like a scam where they were mailing something and to get around
Starting point is 00:41:29 some kind of tariff thing they just put a bunch of seeds. It was just like a throwaway item. Some shit like that. That makes a lot of sense. That was a weird couple months though. I didn't hear about the seeds thing. When was this? Are you fucking stupid? Yeah. I mean, I'm a
Starting point is 00:41:46 little bit. We both dropped out of college. Yeah, not high school. Almost at high school. Yeah. Not Aaron Hansen. Aaron Hansen dropped out of high school. Ego Raptor dropped out of high school. He's an idiot. Absolutely. We're just a little stupid. Wait, what were you taking in university? Drugs.
Starting point is 00:42:02 I was majoring in business management with a that's what ian was hey then i had a minor in film studies okay so that was that was the the plan i guess yeah we went to the same made it two years in yeah university of south carolina gamecocks baby i i was doing a uh business um because it's like if you don't know what was doing business because it's like if you don't know what you want to do, it's like business is the go-to. It's like general business.
Starting point is 00:42:31 Did you make it through all the way? He did. Oh, you graduated. General business. Okay, so you have a diploma and everything. Yeah, we have our GEDs. That's the dumbest thing, though, because I feel like you guys,
Starting point is 00:42:41 as far as running and operating business, you guys are a few steps ahead of me like with all this I know thank you I know you know it's like it doesn't take a diploma to run a business well to rent a house and put a few computers in it you know my mom and dad were kind of happy I dropped out because they were like we only have enough money for one more semester. And that was like at the end of my freshman year. And I was like, OK, so I got to get like loans or something. So I'm pretty I was actually in the process of switching over to media arts, like film and stuff.
Starting point is 00:43:17 Yeah, because I failed the the for the business school. There are all these prereqs that I had to take, like math stuff. I'm really bad at math and the prereq for the business school. I didn all these prereqs that I had to take, like math stuff. And I'm really bad at math. And the prereq for the business school, I didn't qualify for the prereq. So I had to take like just algebra. And I failed that by two points. So I failed the prereq to the prereq. And then I was like, yeah, it's college things.
Starting point is 00:43:39 Just kind of really. My dad still, he's like, son, when are you going to go back to school? I'm like, I don't need to go back to school. I have a job already. I don't need to go spend thousands of dollars, like tens of thousands of dollars on a degree that I don't really need. I was told a fact. I don't know how true this fact is,
Starting point is 00:44:00 but both boomers and Gen Z hold more wealth than millennials and that makes a lot of sense to me because i think gen z like learn from millennials don't go to school they got their dogecoin they don't have their yeah you got dogecoin crypto uh of every variety nfts and then also they don't have student loan debt yeah yeah yeah so they've just like dodged all the bullets biden said that he would erase student loan debt, right? Didn't he say like, day one, I'm going to sign an executive order? Yeah. He just has to sign it. I don't know what's up.
Starting point is 00:44:31 Just do it. He keeps forgetting. Yeah. They've got to remind him every day. His wrist is tired. Yeah, he's got to rest it, man. He's got arthritis. Super Mega will alleviate student loan debt for America. Oh, that's so nice. We're going to take that on.
Starting point is 00:44:46 And the national debt as well. We're actually going to be taking that on. That's our goal. What about medical debt? No, not medical debt. Okay. We don't really care about that. But the national debt, we will be taking on.
Starting point is 00:44:56 Very excited to announce that. So we do need a lot more subscribers and views. Patreon subscriptions. Patreon.com slash Super Mega, $5 a month. Any support so we can take on that debt? Because it's for y'all at the end of the day. We're very humble and giving YouTubers. We're giving back to the community.
Starting point is 00:45:17 You know, most YouTubers just take and take and take. They get these millions of dollars. They get some mansion with a candy room. Yeah. Start boxing for fun. Exactly. And we're not like that, you know? Well, we are doing one of...
Starting point is 00:45:33 We're definitely doing one of those things. The candy room? No. No. We need a candy room with a plex. No, we don't. You just fucking binged on candy recently. Don't embarrass me.
Starting point is 00:45:42 Wait a minute. You've been binging on candy? No, don't... Why did you say... Dude, why are you embarrassing me. Wait a minute. You've been binging on candy? No, don't. Why did you say it? Dude, why are you embarrassing me like this? What candy have you been eating? So, yeah,
Starting point is 00:45:50 I had a little candy oopsie the other night. But he described it to me as like, it wasn't just a few pieces. No, it was a lot of candy. It was a lot of candy. I actually considered
Starting point is 00:46:00 like throwing up after that to get it out. And then I was like, that's just bulimia. So I'm not going to do that. I'm going to have to face the consequences but like it was like 11 30 at night and i i got on postmates and i got 7 11 and i just went through and like that those here's what what triggered it here's the starting thing was uh i had i had a cbd gummy to help me sleep and it tasted so good and i was like damn i want some candy now so i ordered a bunch of a bunch of fucking candy like bags of gummies and
Starting point is 00:46:32 stuff and uh you don't remember which gummy specifically i got a thing yeah yeah i got i got the lifesavers gummies like a pack like those are good i got the 7-eleven brand watermelon gummies which is fantastic they're sour uh I got the Sweet Tarts Ropes. You know those? Yep. Those are fantastic. I got just a regular bag of Haribo gummy bears. Did you eat all of this?
Starting point is 00:46:54 Then I also got a bag of the Twin Snakes by Haribo. You weren't lying when you said you didn't like candy. And then I also got a bag of Starburst minis like unwrapped. You didn't add any like it was nothing but candy? Like no chips? Just candy, man. Any chocolate?
Starting point is 00:47:13 Was it just all gummies? I'm the candy man. I was in a gummy mood. I went but I like didn't touch it before bed. I was like, no, I shouldn't do this.
Starting point is 00:47:20 And then I have this thing where I think it might be related to taking Prozac but I wake up in the middle of the night just unbelievably hungry. You don't eat enough. Yes. Like, because that's what your body does.
Starting point is 00:47:31 It goes into like zombie mode where it's like you don't have enough calories. It will wake you up and you'll just like droney. So hungry. And what I did was I just ate a couple pounds of candy. I was just laying in bed. Did you work out that day? Did you box that day? No, not that day. Okay. Because like he's started to do it now. He'll wake up in bed. Did you work out that day? Did you box that day? No, not that day.
Starting point is 00:47:45 Because like he's started to do it now. He'll wake up in the middle of the night. Well, there is a bit of a hunger for sweet things when I wake up in the middle of the night. But I have these like really sweet, nice protein bars. So I'll just scarf one of those down.
Starting point is 00:48:02 That's no candy. It's gotten to the point where it feels like candy. If you don't eat candy, then uncandy-like things will start to become a little bit more candy. It's Uncandy Valley, man. I really like... I just need to... You've been so good at your exercising.
Starting point is 00:48:19 I have just been not good. I've fallen off with diet sometimes. When I went to New York, I haven't actually had candy. I think one day I only had 800 with diet sometimes. When I went to New York, I haven't had to actually eat candy. I think one day I only had 800 calories. Wow. And I was like, I couldn't find the time to eat. The thing is, quick carbs,
Starting point is 00:48:34 you want candy because it's quick carbs. It's energy right away. And I'm a child, so it tastes good. Well, yeah. That's definitely what's going on with you. Markiplier did actually say that once to me. He he was like we're in the car and he's like let's be honest let's play the honesty game and he was like he was like he was like we each say uh three things to like that are just brutally honest about each other well he went first and
Starting point is 00:48:58 what he told me i was 19 he told me that uh you eat too much you eat candy like a child and then and then he said some stuff about ryan i don't remember what he said he told me that you eat too much candy you eat candy like a child like a child and then and then he said some stuff about Ryan I don't remember what he said
Starting point is 00:49:09 Markiplier's really who is that it's like Mr. Peanut Butter kind of Mr. Peanut Butter to a T yeah Mr. Peanut Butter
Starting point is 00:49:17 you guys watch BoJack Horseman oh okay I get what yes yes there are people that me and Ian meet in life
Starting point is 00:49:23 and we look at them and we're like, Mr. Peanutbutter. And he's definitely one of them. Well, then it was our turn to go. And, you know, he's our boss, and we're living with him, so we were just like,
Starting point is 00:49:35 you know, sometimes you work too hard. You know? Like, you work yourself to a cough. And that's why we both said that, and then we're just sitting there quietly. You did not say that. Yeah, we did. Really? Yeah. That's not a con. And that's why we both said that. And then we're just sitting there quietly. You did not say that. Yeah, we did.
Starting point is 00:49:46 Really? Yeah. That's not a joke. No. Yeah, you just, you know, work yourself sometimes to where, you know. That's amazing. I love that. You're too giving.
Starting point is 00:49:58 You know? That's like an interview. Like, what are your weaknesses? I care too much. I just care too much. I'm an empath. I'm an empath. Yeah, but I just remembered the honesty, what are your weaknesses. I care too much. I just care too much. I'm an empath. I'm an empath. Yeah, but I just remembered the honesty game.
Starting point is 00:50:09 That was fun. But you said I eat candy like a child. Well, I mean, you... Which I've cut back on. You used to wake up in the middle of the night and eat a sleeve of Oreos. I mean, is that any different from what I did the other night with, like, five bags of candy? It's such a funny line, though, to tell someone specifically like a child. It's so funny.
Starting point is 00:50:26 That's like a great insult. I mean, I was 19, so I'm pretty much still a little baby boy. Yeah, very young. Yeah, in the last like three years, my sweet tooth is... I just haven't been craving candy. Well, I feel like shit if I eat candy. Do you, have you like put in, is that a Cookie Monster hat? Oh, hell yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:44 Did you want to wear it? Kind of, yeah. Okay. Oh my gosh. Teleported back to 2008 or something. I got the shirt and everything to match. Yikes. All right.
Starting point is 00:50:52 I feel really cool now. It looks like you'd offer me a vape right now. I'm not your type anymore? Definitely not. I was going to ask, do you write down your macros at all like do you know how much protein? I don't know what that is like how much protein you eat. Oh, no, I don't write it down. I get the app Oh, yeah, my fitness stuff. Yeah. Yeah, I have it I haven't been using it if you start using it because I promise you you'll you'll crave sweets less if you eat more protein
Starting point is 00:51:21 More fat. Yeah. No, I mean I I've been I've been drinking these little protein shakes like this big that each one's 530 calories, 22 grams of protein, 26 grams of fat. Okay, badass. So it's good for putting some weight on, but it's the consistency of paint. I know.
Starting point is 00:51:36 It's really thick. It's like muscle milk. It tastes good, though. It doesn't taste like a bad protein thing. They're called Boost, and I get them on Amazon, but they're actually pretty good. But when I have one of those, I'm not hungry for like hours. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:51:46 And I'm just not hungry to begin with. So I feel like I'm about to throw up when I like start chugging these protein shakes and shit. I don't know. I just I'm so used to just going every single day with barely eating. It's like my body's just used to it. It's funny, Michael, our coach, when we came here and interacted with you guys the first time, you said we met up with our personal trainer the one that does nutrition and he was like you need to be eating 2,600 calories
Starting point is 00:52:11 a day and Matt was like I eat 500 I actually it's it I have to do 4,000 a day was so shocked and I told Michael that story and and Michael thought it was the funniest thing ever that was the funniest thing he'd ever heard that that you said, like, I eat 500 calories. I mean, there are days where I eat just 500, and it'll be in candy. Oh, my God. So, I am, you know what? It's not easy, but I have been getting better with my diet and nutrition.
Starting point is 00:52:37 I can tell. Albeit, I did just say that I ate, like, five bags of candy. You look brighter. Every minute. Is that the word? I can tell. Brighter? You definitely look like you're putting on
Starting point is 00:52:48 Loving thank you. I'm glowing. Yeah, you're glowing Well, I always have the dark circles under my eyes because that's just like my genetics and I like the in the comments They're like have you bought not begin enough sleep, dude Like are you smoking crack? No, you don't get enough sleep because you wake up in the middle of the night yeah I wake up like 20 times a night I got insomnia and narcolepsy fantastic combination he paid the doctor to give him the
Starting point is 00:53:13 diagnosis but yeah so how has the specifically the training side of things oh that's fine it's all the eating that's hard for me and like I told you earlier my fridge just broke so like I can't get groceries the training side of things. Oh, that's fine. It's all the eating that's hard for me. And like I told you earlier,
Starting point is 00:53:26 my fridge just broke. So like I can't get groceries like because I was cooking like meat and rice for dinner a bunch and like I can't do that now unless I go out and like buy it right before. So it's not very epic.
Starting point is 00:53:38 It's just kind of like, you know, I got to wait a week for my fridge to come. So I'm just kind of just back to ordering Postmates. You can get pretty like good Postmates orders, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You just look up the type of food, too, like salmon.
Starting point is 00:53:52 Yeah, I get tender greens and I'll get like salmon and like a salad. But even like on MyFitnessPal, you can like look at the restaurant you're ordering from and type in the restaurant and then the name of the thing. And a lot of the time it has it on there. Sometimes you got to be a little bit critical because people like putting in their own fake information about items. Sometimes I go to Google, I'm like, there's no way that's true. Because I've counted calories before to lose weight.
Starting point is 00:54:15 So I'm like, this burger isn't 500 calories. It's very annoying. You have to sort of like, sometimes you'll have like three inaccurate answers and you're like, I guess I'll take the average. Yeah. Or like you'll mess with the size of the portion. Totally. Yeah. In terms of like statistics, health wise, just one of those little shakes I have is the exact same as a Big Mac.
Starting point is 00:54:40 Like in terms of fat and calories. Yeah. So. That's good. I just need to be bulking I my skin I can like I look a little better just because I stopped vaping and my skin tone like instantly changes to be better when I'm vaping I get like super pale which is like the last thing I need because I already look like I'm a skeleton so it's like I don't want to look like super cracked out
Starting point is 00:55:01 little crack never hurt anybody though we actually just had our first video removed from youtube ever our first video taken down for smoking crack in it we didn't well it looked very real we tried our best it was one of our mail opening videos and we started by like like helping each other like smoke a crack pipe we had a crack pipe had like a butane salt in it put a butane torch and then we used your vape to like fill like like puff smoke a crack pipe. We had a crack pipe. We had like a butane torch. We put some salt in it, put a butane torch and then. We used your vape to like fill like puff into the crack pipe like vape smoke. So it looked like we're really smoking crack. And people thought it was.
Starting point is 00:55:33 I saw some Reddit posts where they were concerned. Frank asked me if we. He's like, did y'all actually smoke crack? You know, a lot of people thought we were. I saw a lot of comments. People were like actually like genuinely concerned that we're smoking crack. And I'm like, well like well we are but we're not gonna do it on camera and it did look very convincing the crack smoking um but youtube took
Starting point is 00:55:50 it down uh we actually got it uh no that was the second video they took down of ours the first video was the one that stayed down the other one they put yeah they never let the they put one back up that one there's two crack smoking videos no No. What did it take down the first time? It's just for sexual content. It was because we were putting sham, like this skin stuff on our face, specifically your face. And then our editor made a joke and made it one of the porn ads. So it just kind of looked like he had come on. Also, I think it could be like one of the first shots in the video
Starting point is 00:56:20 is when I have my legs up and you're slapping my gooch with a pad. There's that. You're putting a pad on. Yeah. So I think that they go to review it. That's like the first thing they see and I'm like yeah harder so I get it I I do get it but they took it's not meant to be sexually gratifying well they well YouTube said their justification was it was not just sexual but it was meant for the purpose of sexual satisfaction and I'm like no it's it's not uh and they took the video down and then I I was DMing with them and then they were like actually our team no it's it's not uh and they took the video down and then I I was DMing with
Starting point is 00:56:46 them and then they were like actually our team reviewed it and it's fine put it back up but the crack pipe video stayed down um unfortunately so we had to like re-upload it the other day where we just like blurred out the crack pipes so it's just like pixelated crack pipes I was proud of that though that did look very real it's up on our on Patreon okay the uncensored version yeah I'd try crack
Starting point is 00:57:09 you would or you have? I would I'm terrified of crack what? not me and Ryan why? you're like offended what?
Starting point is 00:57:17 just try it once it's not like there's this stigma around it whenever I tell people I do crack they look at me like I'm crazy don't knock it till you try it and you know what I say it's like cracks like Lay's potato stigma around it. Whenever I tell people I do crack, they look at me like I'm crazy. Don't knock it until you try it.
Starting point is 00:57:26 And you know what I say? It's like cracks like Lay's potato chips. You can't just have one. Well, that's where you get into a problem. Like, for me, it's like every few days. Well, you can't get addicted. You just got to enjoy the high while it's there. What does crack do?
Starting point is 00:57:38 Is crack like a stimulant? It's just smokable cocaine. Okay. It's just cheap cocaine. It's baking soda, soda cocaine like in water mixed up on the stove and it forms like rocks and you smoke it okay we should do a crack how to smoke crack like how to make crack like a cooking video i i wanted to do a video where we rented out like a uh like one of those like home kitchen sets and just do like a really high production video but
Starting point is 00:58:02 just like how to just cooking crack we also just wanted to there was this idea where we just wanted to like hire an actor and just see if the educate for educational purposes stuff because you can still you know look up how to put on a condom and find those videos i i think it would be interesting to see if we could get away with that on the channel not us but like someone else we can do it ourselves we can I mean yeah dude I watched one of those videos once like the condom tutorial and the dude the whole time is like talking like like he's like
Starting point is 00:58:34 putting the condom on but he's trying to make it look like he's having a struggle and he's like oh it's God oh it's so tight man and then he like rips it on purpose and he's like I'm always breaking them it just keeps happening and he struggles with it for so tight. Man. And then he like rips it on purpose. And he's like, he's like, I'm always breaking them. It just keeps happening. And he struggles with it for so long.
Starting point is 00:58:48 Like, and he keeps like, it's clear that he has his like fingernail in it. And he's like, ah, this always happens to me. It's keep, keep breaking these condoms.
Starting point is 00:58:56 And he's like fake struggling the whole video to try to make his dick look like really big. I mean, it was a knife size penis, but, uh, I, you know, that's just what I needed in my condom tutorial.
Starting point is 00:59:05 Does anyone actually do that? Like, they're about to, like, make love for the first time, and they pull out, like, hold on, babe. And they pull out their phone and, like, pull up a how to put on a condom tutorial and watch, like, the six-minute thing. No, that's nervously, like, the night before they're watching that to, like, learn. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. For sure, I think. I mean, I don't know. I don't have a penis.
Starting point is 00:59:25 Yeah, that would be it, of course. i hope nobody's like i mean i forgot that's like that's like that's like sixth grade me going on wiki how like how to how to finger what does sex feel what does a vagina feel like on yahoo answers with all these actually i i one time i went on wiki so like i was i was really scared to look at porn growing up because i was a huge christian but i was like well if i look at wikipedia articles that have it's valid yeah so i just would go like look up like female anatomy and i remember i forgot to clear the history my mom came to me in the kitchen i was gonna say the cringiest tiktoks like the tiktoks that i actually can't watch anymore is uh people talking about the search history that they left on their computer as eight-year-olds like the ones where
Starting point is 01:00:11 it's like me remembering that i looked up biggest butt in world uh man on uh on my search engine as a kid because you know that like the parents are finding that shit and yeah oh it makes me want to die well so bad for them. Well, my mom came downstairs, and I was in the kitchen at the table, and she's like, Matthew, I saw that you were researching labia. And I was like, researching? And she's like, you know, if you ever have any questions, you can ask me. And I was like, that's literally not what, not what I wasn't trying to educate myself my dad was a little more nice
Starting point is 01:00:47 about it he like came into the room he's like hey I checked the history I saw what you're looking at Kristen is my stepmom and Kristen found it look I took the blame for this one oh my god just clear the history next time so he was super like,
Starting point is 01:01:05 I get it, I understand. We have the exact opposite. My dad's my hero. Because my, he is, he's wonderful. I love him so much.
Starting point is 01:01:13 I, me, I went on DeviantArt and, opening it with, I went on DeviantArt. You know where it's going. It wasn't on purpose.
Starting point is 01:01:26 I just really... This is so embarrassing. I really liked drawing animals. And I started to see furry art. But I thought it was just cool, anthropomorphic animals. Is it not? But I started
Starting point is 01:01:41 to look more into it. And I was like, male into it. And I was like two like male fox drawings. And then it got, it was like gay furry porn. Yeah, it goes hard. And I had never seen porn before. And it was like hard. That's the worst one. Your first porn was furry porn.
Starting point is 01:01:58 That was my first was furry porn. Gay furry porn. Fox gay furry porn. That's awesome. On DeviantArt. And I had no clue how to clear the browser history or anything so like my fucking my mom definitely saw pictures of gay yeah that's that's the worst for kids because they are interested in all of that sort of like
Starting point is 01:02:19 you know animals cartoons all that sort of stuff. And it almost immediately segues. Yeah, it's quick. There's no warning. There's no, like, there was that. And then the other experience I had was, like, my older brother clearly was adventuring. And it was back when you could get viruses that just have, like, pop-ups that go, like, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Yeah. That was some special kind of hell. It was hell.
Starting point is 01:02:42 Yeah, that really sucked. My heart would be like, oh, no. Sickening feeling. You have no control. People don't know how good they have it was hell. Yeah, that really sucked. My heart would be like, oh, no. Sickening feeling. You have no control. People don't know how good they have it these days. Oh, my God, yeah. You don't have to worry about, like, pop-ups. I did that on my dad's work computer.
Starting point is 01:02:53 I did that, and I was like, no, no, no, no, no. Because it was specifically a Bukkake pop-up, and I was, like, maybe eight, eight, nine, and so I'm sitting there on the computer playing Neopets. And it's just like bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang. Just Wookiee. Damn. And I was batting because I was like what's wrong with this?
Starting point is 01:03:13 You couldn't close those faster than they popped up. No, you couldn't. And when I was in like eighth grade, I was on my dad's work computer. And I had been viewing something that a good Christian boy shouldn't have. But, you know, on like on porn sites, if like sometimes if you just like click a video will automatically open up an ad in the background. Yeah. Live Jasmine or some site like that. So I heard my dad coming.
Starting point is 01:03:41 So I closed every like I pulled up another window. I closed everything. And he's like, son, I got to go and do some work. I was like, okay. And I closed the browser. And then like that was on the desktop. Just like one of those ads. And I was like, what the heck?
Starting point is 01:03:53 Dad, I don't know what this, like, I think we have a virus. And I stole me a virus and I downloaded some like bullshit antivirus software and spent like 10 minutes pretending to like set it up. Like, yeah, it's good. I took care of it. And your dad took the fall for you. I've told this before, but my dad actually,
Starting point is 01:04:08 I took the fall for my dad once and he never acknowledged it. Well, he blamed you. Wow. He didn't blame me. He just didn't say anything. He was like, nice. So I went,
Starting point is 01:04:17 I've told this on a previous episode, but I'll do it real quick. It's probably the third time, I think. Probably, yeah. But we have guests that need to hear this. heard it never heard of it yeah well you don't listen to the super mega cast every day why are you laughing i just have a bad memory yeah same uh so is everyone listening but you know i i was in a eighth grade and i went to the beach with a with a church like beach day and i got baptized and i was feeling so high on God. Like I got baptized
Starting point is 01:04:45 and I was like, God, man, everything's looking up. And, uh, like I came home and I was like, man, today's awesome. Like I got the love of Christ in me, you know, and I'm sitting in the living room. My dad, he's on the couch. I'm on like the recliner. And my mom comes downstairs with like a, like a very stern look. And she's standing like in the stairwell and she's like, so does anyone want to explain to me why the browser history has been cleared? And like my heart sank, but it wasn't me. It was my dad had done that because I hadn't looked at anything and my dad didn't say anything. And I was like, mom, I really don't know. Like, I don't know.
Starting point is 01:05:22 And she's like, OK, well, your aunt Liz has a friend who knows how to get everything you've ever looked at back so I'm gonna have to take the computer in and I was just like it was me it was me and I said it was even though it was my dad and he and my mom sent me to my room so my dad watched me like march my ass up the stairs like sitting there
Starting point is 01:05:40 like enjoying his fucking he had a popsicle like fucking chilling there with his popsicle watching his son Go to his room and get grounded That you never even said thank you. I told my mom that recently and she was like I'm so sorry That's crazy right under the bus. That's such a difficult dynamic to Sort of work out as a parent like I'd have no idea what the fuck to do Yeah, if my kid was doing that I I would like to think I'd be able to relate and I do what your dad did.
Starting point is 01:06:07 Yeah. Yeah. I would, I would try to give them a talk. I give them a talk about pornography and the dangers of it. Right. And I'd be like, son,
Starting point is 01:06:15 you got to try no fap. Like this is what you got to get on. I, I'm wondering if the reason why your dad didn't thank you or say anything is because his thought process was not that you were taking the fall for him, but that you had done something after him. And he was like, oh, I got so fucking lucky that my son. He would never admit it, though. Like, he's not that type of guy that would ever admit.
Starting point is 01:06:37 Right. That he had viewed incest. Not incestuous. Pornographic. I don't know where incestuous came from. He probably would view incestuous stuff, but pornographic content. He would never. But I'm wondering if he like he thought that like he just got lucky.
Starting point is 01:06:50 Yeah. And you didn't think that you were doing a favor for him. And he thought like if he thanked you, then you would know that. Yeah. Yeah, exactly. Like he didn't want to let know. And he's like, he's like, oh, like he probably was looking at something. So I just got lucky.
Starting point is 01:07:02 I'm like, dad, you got it. Like, don't clear the history. Delete certain items. Yeah. Yeah. That's the tactic. The last hour. Exactly, you know?
Starting point is 01:07:11 But, like, my dad was too stupid to do that. Cleared it all, and then I got fucking thrown under the bus. Yeah, I don't know how I, like, I feel like my, because I was raised in a Muslim household where, like, talking about sexuality was just not like that's not something that happened. So I definitely didn't learn the tools to like talk to a child about that stuff. So like sometimes I worry about I'm like, man, if I ever had a kid like I I definitely
Starting point is 01:07:37 don't want to mess up a kid with their sexuality. Like I know that that's like in the West were really bad for that. But like I don't have the tools like at all. So I have no idea Well, that's what YouTube videos are for like the condom tutorial Make a playlist like sit down and watch I do feel like the way I grew up was more so just like figured out yourself Yeah, in South Carolina was like you can get STDs and this is a penis and this is vagina, but I never had like a sex talk with my parents. I didn't have that either.
Starting point is 01:08:06 My mom got me a book. It was like an illustrated pen and pencil book. Do you think that's probably a big factor and that's probably pretty common? They're like, I don't want to make this awkward. Yeah, they're probably learning about it in school. Good enough. Or like they have the internet.
Starting point is 01:08:23 Yeah. I don't know. It's just like the worst step where they find furry porn. Yeah. Well the worst part about like that era
Starting point is 01:08:30 is like your parents are learning who are older are learning about the Internet like in conjunction with you. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:08:36 And like neither of you know how to work the Internet too well or the computer in general. So like you're both learning at the same time. You had a faster rate. time. I feel like now... True. I feel like now you at least
Starting point is 01:08:48 have enough of an idea that this machine, this family computer, is kind of insidious, potentially. It's evil. Yeah. It's got a lot of evil potential. It's always the family computer. It's always the family computer. My mom wouldn't let me have my own laptop.
Starting point is 01:09:03 I wanted a laptop for so long. She's like, nope. In its own room? At least mine was in its computer room. Family computer in the living room, public. We had one in the kitchen. It was my dad's old work computer, but my dad is an architectural illustrator,
Starting point is 01:09:19 so he has a studio at home with all his big drawing tables, but he had a work computer. It's always the family computer, yeah. Always. And then my mom gifted my brother a PSP, and she didn't know what she had done. Dude, Nintendo DSi? I went to so many porn sites on my PSP.
Starting point is 01:09:39 It sucked, though, at the time, because the internet still was garbage. Yeah, it was difficult to navigate things. I like how I was getting frustrated for myself. I'm remembering, man. Visceral rage coming out. The PSP was awesome though. Dude, I remember watching porn on the Nintendo Wii late at night.
Starting point is 01:09:55 I'd be upstairs in the playroom. And I would go on the Nintendo Wii browser and go to like X videos and it would it would it was horrible at loading But I was like so scared I feel like my parents coming up the stairs, but they added a feature We can click a button and like a curtain comes on the screen. I was like oh I know what they were doing Nintendo DSi for me dude. Yeah, it was like because you can play videos, so I would just go Just a gift website would just go uh just to gift websites on the minute they get up there would be like right so the minute they get up there would be just curtains closing what are you watching the show ended that was it just watching uh some curtains i like that premise like to figure out like what because i
Starting point is 01:10:37 feel like that's probably a lot of like unique stories is how did you get out of being caught in a watching porn situation? Like, did you turn off the monitor, which would be like a big risky move? Right. You turn it back on, too. What are you doing? It's right there. It might be there, yeah.
Starting point is 01:10:53 You know? Do you, like, obscure? Like, I remember at one point, I was like, it was family computer, door behind me. And I'm like, I better obscure the monitor with my large back so I'd be like, yeah, yeah, kind of up here like this. You know? May have been effective at one
Starting point is 01:11:14 point or another. It's really hard to say. You've got strong shoulder muscles now. I didn't really test it. I'd be like, you know, that's a hard one to test. Back to the door is the most dangerous. See, mine, the way it worked was it was next to the door. So you'd walk in and the screen's this way. That's the same.
Starting point is 01:11:30 It was like, I was right here. Oh, my God. And I remember one time I heard my dad come to me and was like, fuck. And I was closing and the computers froze. And that's one of the biggest moments of panic I've ever experienced in my life. That and the time I almost drowned. But those two are pretty close in terms of like panic, sheer panic. Yeah.

Starting point is 01:14:03 Just fun fact. Okay. I thought you were connecting it. Can't upload that to the drive. Yeah. No, no, no, but sorry. Boxing, you Ian and Anissa, you guys are quite the boxers. You guys are
Starting point is 01:14:17 incredible at boxing. I would say we're mildly competent for new people. We're getting there. We're almost intermediate, I think. So how long have you guys been boxing? Since July of 2021. Oh, so you haven't even been doing it a year.
Starting point is 01:14:36 No. Oh. I thought you'd been doing it a lot longer. No. We pretty much just started because we wanted to get the jump on RiceGum. We were like, we can get probably three months ahead of him because he's lazy and he won't do anything until it's on. Shots fired. And there's a promise of money.
Starting point is 01:14:55 Shots fired. Damn, dude. Yeah, so we started ahead of time, and then obviously he wimped out. Yeah, what happened with that? Because wasn't the fight like didn't he wasn't he the first one to initiate that he wanted it to happen but he only wanted it to happen and like this is just speculation but i would say it's very uh confident speculation that uh austin mcbroom basically told him hey we're doing this tiktoker
Starting point is 01:15:23 versus youtuber event by the way that was a big disaster. He promised people millions of millions of dollars. Austin McBroom would never scam anyone. Definitely not. He, I think he's being sued for $150 million right now or $120. It's not really too much of a difference. But I think he put this number in Ricegum's head which is why he
Starting point is 01:15:47 reached out to Anissa he was like oh yeah I can get so much money I'll fight IDUPS that's the fight to do yeah and obviously without getting any second opinions or any idea of what you would actually be paid for a boxing event he just continued to talk to me about it
Starting point is 01:16:03 and once I realized there's no fucking way that anyone is getting paid nearly that amount i was like sort of nervous about kind of like breaking that news to him so we were trying to make it as appealing of a thing to him as possible so i was like i'm not getting paid uh at that at that time i didn't even think that we wouldn't be paying other fighters as well uh But we basically said everyone gets to pay to charity, but Ricegum gets a big fat paycheck. And even with all of that, he didn't want to do it. It's crazy, too. He's already a millionaire.
Starting point is 01:16:40 Yeah, it's insane because we were so in the dark. We had no idea how to get this done. He wanted us to like piggyback on the McBroom thing. And we were like, there's no way. And then he was like, Keemstar can do it. And we were like, no, that's going to be the hardest thing to do. And we found our trainer, Michael Briggs, and Michael thought we were pranking him. Same thing with my trainer. Because Ian told him his name. And when you look up his name, it's not attached to his YouTube channel or anything. So our coach was like, okay, this guy wants to fight somebody to be famous or like he had no clue like what was going on. So we started training, but then we started to realize really quickly that like we needed to find a promoter and we needed to find like all these things that we, we had no contacts for. Like we were like pretty
Starting point is 01:17:41 much in the dark. So there was like this one night we were like lying in bed and ian's like should i message manny pacquiao on instagram and i was like yeah like why not do that and so ian's like okay so he messaged manny pacquiao within 15 minutes pretty much like 15 minutes manny pacquiao himself he manny pacquiao himself messaged ian back because ian was like i want to do a boxing event and uh i need help you know i want to do charity and you have a charity and stuff and uh he messaged us back and was like sure contact my charity guy king of the philippines and it was crazy because that was our that was our in like we ended up uh meeting with him and uh mike who's the guy you met with manny pacquiao not manny pacquiao his his uh charity guy okay and uh mike the guy that we're working with now uh we call him fight manager mike because
Starting point is 01:18:32 there's a bunch of mikes in our life right now uh but fight manager mike and uh a couple of other guys and we were in the room with them and fight manager mike was like okay there's something here and thankfully we connected and that's how we started getting the ball rolling for actually making an event. But we trained for three or four months blindly, like two times a day, like five times a week with no actual like fight going on. Yeah, you guys are bricked up. Yeah. are bricked up. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:19:05 You, like, those muscles you got pumping right now, Ian, are quite exquisite muscles. Oh, thank you, man. I like your muscles, too. Thanks, man. Yeah. They're coming in.
Starting point is 01:19:18 I'm working on it. SpongeBob muscles. The anchor arms. Dude, I just complimented you. You come back with that? It's unbelievable. That's just steroids, essentially. Just blowing them up.
Starting point is 01:19:33 Yeah, I love that. I'm just going to do steroids. But yeah, I watched videos of both you guys. And you're fucking crazy. We're trying. It's really been super enjoyable. It's like, you know, I've never done any sports, let alone, like, combat sports in my whole life. So it's, like, a huge change, and I feel like, you know, gifting that to others through, you know, this event, I think, would also be very rewarding.
Starting point is 01:20:03 And, you know, Ryan and I have been taking boxing lessons and in training but you haven't been hit yet no I'm starting sparring uh I think Friday he said at the end of this week I'm waiting for uh my my headgear to arrive I got my mouthpiece and everything um just waiting on the headgear uh And my coach was like, yeah, we got to get you used to getting punched. Awesome. We hit each other that one time in the green screen studio,
Starting point is 01:20:30 but it wasn't really. No. I think we were scared to like actually punch. We should do it. For like your documentary or something, we just give each other a good punch for the first time.
Starting point is 01:20:40 Well, you guys can do that when we maybe go to uh box and burn on thursday thursday okay that could be good it could be because uh i'm trying to think you want that for your documentary that would be awesome yeah we each punch each other just a real punch yeah okay first ever punch losing punch i've never been punched in the face in general surprising well i mean i guess in fairness like that, that's probably not how you'd get started with, you know. Arco, we're looking over at our coach,
Starting point is 01:21:08 and he's like, that's fine. He's like, yeah, you can do that. We'll use 10-ounce things for it. No, no, 16. So, yeah. Yeah, but, you know, you guys could probably do a full-blown thing, you know, just get comfortable moving around.
Starting point is 01:21:23 Yeah, we can try. Just to be honest, I don't feel like, I feel like if Iown thing you know just get comfortable moving around and yeah we can try i i uh to be honest i don't feel like i feel like if i just you know if i had someone just punch me like that wouldn't be reflective of like what a you know a boxing match is yeah that would fucking hurt and it would be very yeah because when when you're boxing do it correctly when you're boxing correctly no punch should like land dead like yeah like you're boxing correctly, no punch should land dead. Yeah. Oh, I'm not talking like we're just going to punch each other.
Starting point is 01:21:50 We'll give them like a little jab. Oh, like a pop. Give them a little pop on a suit. Well, that will happen if you guys just spar. Yeah, okay. Which we should do. Thank you guys for getting us into this boxing. And we should spar because we see each other every day.
Starting point is 01:22:04 Yeah. I mean, sparring each other would be great it's but i found it's really good for the self esteem like yeah it's really cool i'm nervous i've never done it um you should be nervous so so it's basically it's just like i i've just been doing like repetition and drills and form but i don't know how to actually like translate i've just been doing pads so now i actually have to learn how to translate that into. Well, Ryan was saying that his coach is having him doing a lot of movement and punching. Have you been moving and punching at all? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:33 Yeah. We do this one exercise where he brings out, like, the shield, like the body shield thing. Oh, nice. And he basically just moves around and I have to, like, follow him. That's great. That's what our coach. We call it the ball of doom. You're just making up names. The ball of doom.
Starting point is 01:22:50 Well, it is the ball of doom. It's evil. It's got all sorts of names. It's evil. He'll basically hold, like, a big exercise, not an exercise ball. It's a medicine ball. But it's a huge one. And he's got, like, a body suit or body protector.
Starting point is 01:23:07 Body armor. So like he'll walk at you, right? It's three minutes we do this. And you're just like punching the ball, uppercutting it, fucking like going down for body shots. Sounds exhausting. You want to die. Yeah. It's surprising.
Starting point is 01:23:21 My endurance sucks. Yeah. So it's getting better like i can go a lot longer than i could like two months ago that's what i noticed the the biggest changes i've noticed like of like a key point of interest for some reason have been like when i'm doing a warm up run before a workout i'm like this is a lot easier yeah i love that when like doing just general push-ups yeah like oh shit yeah because you're you're either getting lighter or you're just getting stronger it's like okay i can do more of these and i'm not like my heart isn't
Starting point is 01:23:49 feeling constricted as much yes uh michael was telling us like when we were boxing he was like oh if you guys want to go for like an hour-long run like that's a good active uh rest i was thinking like an active rest i was like that sounds like it sucks because I used to like literally not be able to run for like two minutes without having to stop so we went on an hour long run and 20 minutes in we were like oh this is not hard at all it doesn't feel like it's not hard to do anymore
Starting point is 01:24:17 it's just really cool so surprising damn I'm excited to see what comes of this whole boxing event. Yeah. Are you scared of Nathan? Can I talk about that? Yes.
Starting point is 01:24:31 Yeah, I am very scared of Nathan. Nathan Barnett, who I'm... See, because I knew Nathan years ago. We met years ago, back when I worked at Game Grumps, met him through that. And I used to watch Nathan when I was in high school on YouTube. I liked his dance videos a lot. Oh, that's cool. And he's such a nice guy.
Starting point is 01:24:48 Like, he's one of the sweetest dudes I've ever met. Just so down to earth. And when it was, like, brought to me, like, well, you can fight Nathan, I was like, oh, yeah, that's great. We're both scrawny. And I didn't know that Nathan had, just in his free time, been taking boxing lessons for, like, nine months already at that point. Oh, no. So now it's been, like, over a been taking boxing lessons for like nine months already at that point. So now it's been like over a year of boxing lessons for him. And he's in like shape. And he, I remember him just being like,
Starting point is 01:25:12 just, you know, regular 40 year old man, like kind of like not necessarily muscular, but God damn it, he fucking got shredded. And now he's doing boxing. He's taking it a lot more seriously than I am. And he also like he's a dancer. So like the footwork, which I have a bit of a hard time with the footwork. So he knows like choreography and stuff.
Starting point is 01:25:36 So he's on his feet. So like he's good at the footwork. Yeah. That's a good point. I didn't think about his dancing. Yeah. His main thing. So like his movement's going to be like.
Starting point is 01:25:44 Oh, yeah. Because boxing almost is it's like it's like angry dancing yeah it is like angry dancing so it's like you know
Starting point is 01:25:50 I'm hopefully not fucked but I probably am you have reach though I do I have a good reach over him so if I can keep gaining weight
Starting point is 01:25:59 and yeah maybe just keep walking backwards and throwing jabs out that's all you gotta do as long as I keep throwing the jabs at him
Starting point is 01:26:07 I'm gonna break his skull yeah right in half that's the mentality you gotta have you gotta end his life yeah I will he's gonna die in that ring
Starting point is 01:26:15 it's so funny cause we've been telling everybody like we want you to be as safe as possible we want you to train and learn so nobody's getting hurt in his proper boxing
Starting point is 01:26:23 and then Ian's like I want you to end his life. I will. I'll kill him. I'll kill him dead. Michael's just saying, no, no, no, no. Well, can I... I can't sneak like a dagger or anything, right? Maybe like a button
Starting point is 01:26:39 that it pops out of the glove. That looks so sick, like Wolverine gloves. I'll put like TNT in my things so when I punch him, it explodes. Oh, that would be sick. It's Florida, so maybe. Okay, yeah, yeah. There's no rules there. Our coach said it is Florida.
Starting point is 01:26:53 It's going to be in Florida, so maybe. Hell yeah. Well, I can't wait to see this event and who all is doing it. Ryan, you're getting real in shape for it. Thank you. I don't know. I won't say who my opponent is, but one of my biggest things about the event is, like,
Starting point is 01:27:08 I went and looked at their profile, and I'm like, so I'm definitely the underdog in this scenario. There will definitely be a lot more cheers for them during the fight. That's funny. I felt the same way, you know, when I was, like, getting matched up and I was looking at that. I was like, okay, I i was looking at that i was like okay i'm definitely not gonna be the the likable one here yeah which i'm the villain i'm the villain
Starting point is 01:27:31 um which like is such an interesting uh because when i talked to the person that i was matched up with she was like i thought the opposite she was like i thought that i would be the person that which i find so i think our brains i think it's just some people's brains. You're like, oh, I'm clearly the, but you're not. The good news is that, yeah, everyone has their own villain that they choose. Yeah. Sometimes the bad guys win. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:55 Yeah. Like some people are going to view Ian as the biggest villain ever. And I'm sort of anticipating that a bit. Playing to it. It's also, I think I disagree with your matchup. Yeah, it's not that cut and dry. I do too. I think it's pretty even.
Starting point is 01:28:12 I think that honestly in my humble opinion, I think that Ryan is going to absolutely decimate because you have this hidden rage in you. Matt keeps saying that. I think he really believes it. Honestly, I'd like to think that there was a moment where like no there is there is a moment or something well not i didn't
Starting point is 01:28:30 upset it but i what what just makes me think of this was that video that we shot that's not out yet when the for the next e3 video you have to freak out oh with the keyboard well that was acting i know but like i after the camera stopped rolling, dude, I was like, holy shit. Like, that, you pulled some real rage out there. He just said freak out. I gotta show you guys this clip.
Starting point is 01:28:52 Break your key. It's unbelievable how good Ryan is at, like, rage acting. But you have, you're so strong. I mean, you got this. I like that.
Starting point is 01:29:02 Yeah, some people are sort of restricted because of, like of society and everything. That you're just meant to behave and keep it in. And if you don't have a sport or a thing to let that out. I think there's a lot of killers out there on YouTube and elsewhere. Who just need a good workout. I'm about to get my worst behavior.
Starting point is 01:29:26 Rubs hands together. It's going to be crazy. I'm about to get my worst behavior. Rub his hands together. It's going to be crazy. Nathan's going to die. I like that. I'm so excited to see everyone. Ryan was telling us before the podcast that he's lost 12 pounds. Really? I started at 210.
Starting point is 01:29:42 At first I was like, I'm around 200 or something. All of a sudden I weighed started at 210. Because at first I was like, you know, I'm around like 200 or something. All of a sudden I weighed myself at like 210. It was kind of like a wake-up call. Like, oh my God, I have been gaining weight for a little bit, I guess. And so I've been training every day I can if I'm not for the holidays. And the training sessions are sometimes pretty brutal. Like I threw up for the first time doing a sessions are sometimes pretty brutal. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:30:05 Like I threw up for the first time doing a workout. From doing a workout. I've never thrown up for a workout. I tried to keep it in because I know
Starting point is 01:30:12 you're afraid of vomit. I wasn't around. I also am afraid of vomit. I ate since I was a child. It's like huge. Not as bad anymore but the emetophobia is real. Yeah, no, it's real for sure.
Starting point is 01:30:23 It's crazy. I used to like, I'd have to cover my ears and like be trembling. I asked my mom to kill me when I was like nine because I didn't want to puke. I was like, mom, kill me.
Starting point is 01:30:32 Oh, I was so scared of puking. Yeah. Have you ever thrown up from a workout? Drinking. He loves throwing up. I love puking. I do too.
Starting point is 01:30:39 It's like his favorite thing on the planet. It feels so good. It freaks me out. We were in bed one time. We had been out with Dunkey and Leah and he had put everything in his body that he could find it was like peanut butter
Starting point is 01:30:48 beer and like coconut thai shrimp and like like just like desserts like everything and we're lying in bed and he's like oh i think i have i think i want to puke he said he didn't say i think i have to puke he said i think i want to i've done that before. And it freaks me out. Just so much. And you're like, I'm just going to go do it. I was like, what the fuck do you mean? You want to puke. And he goes into the bathroom. He just starts to puke.
Starting point is 01:31:10 He's always like that. It's just like almost always instant relief. Yeah. After you're done. It's like, oh, I wish every illness was like this. I can't. Like, I don't, like, very rarely I drink to the point where my body throws up. But I do, like, when I drink a lot, I'll be like, I'm going to go throw up because I will feel better.
Starting point is 01:31:27 Nice. I can't get, I will fight till the end. Well, actually, my emetophobia was alleviated by binge drinking, so, because then I had to become used to throwing up. Nice, fascinating. So, yeah, so it kind of, it did help with that. It killed my liver, but, you you know helped my brain i uh had eaten accidentally like 150 milligrams of uh weed gummies like edibles oh and it was like my first time oh god and i was in that bathroom fighting it fighting puking terrifying i refused and i was having all like a horrible
Starting point is 01:32:00 like audio yeah and like my friend was like she came in to check on me and it was almost like that extra noise just it set me I was in there for hours fighting it sent me over the top I just puked it out I felt instantly better but it's like you think my brain would figure that out and be like oh it's not a bad thing but I'm still like yeah I still hate I can't I I'm I'm the same way like I can't like puke unless I've eaten a bunch or if I've drank a bunch but like I'm still really scared I'm really scared
Starting point is 01:32:27 of getting a sickness that makes me puke yeah me too but yeah well that's a great note to end it on hell yeah perfect
