The Madman did it. The Madman. The Madlad did it. The Madlad did it. The Madlad Vlad, he really did it, man. Fucking, yeah, that's what's great about having that picture up on his horse with his man tits out. What a fucking badass. No shame in man tits. I got him. But I'm just

saying. I think he was going for a little something else. Oh, yeah. He's doughy. He's a little doughy. He's a little doughy. Yeah. He kind of looks like Dobby, doesn't he? I never thought of that, but yeah he does. A guy on the Santa Monica Pier, if he were to draw a caricature of Putin, it would

probably turn out to look similar to Dobby. Putin's a weird looking dude. He looks like he was like... Or Creature, the other goblin. More like Creature maybe. Creature, I don't remember that one. Is that like how there's like Smeagol and there's also a... No, it's just not a goblin. More like creature, maybe. Creature. I don't remember that one. Creature. Is that like how there's like Smeagol and there's also a... No, it's just not a goblin. Another house elf that worked, that was enslaved to the black family.

Vlad is free. Sirius Black. Oh, yeah. Okay. I was trying to remember. I was like, there's a black family in Harry Potter. Or whatever. Oh, what is it?

Helen Bonham Carter's witch. J.K. Rowling didn't put a lot of black people in Harry Potter. Or whatever. Oh, what is it? Helen Bonham Carter's Witches. J.K. Rowling didn't put a lot of black people in Harry Potter. Hermione's black? Sorry. I forgot. My bad. Yeah. But that's what's great about having a weekly podcast is to be like, I don't think Ukraine's

going to invade. I mean, I don't think Russia's going to invade Ukraine and then just. Super mega, thankfully. We have put together the funds and we are sending actually two million copies of the Chamber of Secrets all the way over to Ukraine. So we tried. We tried. So we tried to help them out. Yeah.

And we tried to get the Sorcerer's Stone. Yeah. Because that's the first one. Unfortunately, the Philosopher's Stone in Europe. Yes, it would be the Philosopher's Stone. I'm not sure in Ukrainian what that would translate to if it was Sorcerers or Philosophers but it doesn't matter because we couldn't secure 2 million copies

of that one they only had like 650,000 on hand but they had a lot of the Chamber of Secrets so unfortunately some people might not know the context of what's happening when they start the Chamber of Secrets but you know we're doing our part to help Ukraine.

It's going straight to the front lines. Arguably, like, some people's probably favorite book. Yeah, honestly, a lot of people argue Chamber of Secrets is a lot better than Sorcerer's Stone. I like Chamber of Secrets the movie more than the Sorcerer's Stone. Me too, me too. I didn't think that they There's a giant tree, there's a big snake, there's

Ron gets yelled at by his mom. A mystery People are getting Oh yeah, the flying car. Yep Oh, I remember seeing that in theaters and like Cause that came out when I think it was I was in elementary school. We were kids, yeah So, I remember acting out even in the first Harry

Potter movie when he was hanging on to his broomstick. You'd be on the playground hanging on to the monkey bars? Yeah, dude! And I'd have my legs flying down. I still do that, dude. I'll go to a playground and fucking pretend I'm in the first Harry Potter movie. Well, enough about anti-trans rights

Harry Potter. It's unfortunate he holds those views. Yeah, I don't... She fucking... He's kind of a piece of shit. She did save the Wizarding World, but he ideologically is kind of a shitbag, unfortunately. I was like, JK, you know, like, I understand what she's trying to do is,

like, JK's trying to expose transphobia in the real world by making a character transphobic so people can say, oh, my god, that's awful. Yeah, what she's doing right now is performance art. She's showing how ridiculous a transphobe sounds. She's an ironic transphobe. Yeah. Fucking mic dude.

Yeah, dude, that mic stand is just not cooperating with you. You know? We should probably throw some more dirt at Putin you know while we can before he nukes the world yeah um well dude I don't know watching watching all their their tanks and supplies I don't I don't know if their nukes work too well yeah okay so Ukraine Ukraine uh basically dude I feel like here's my take on it and this

will probably be wildly out of date by the time it comes out and by the time someone's gonna listen in three years and be like oh yeah that was the beginning of World War 3 um

basically like it's cool how we have the we have the start of it before I'm thinking about us personally right I think it's cool for the podcast how it is cool for the podcast. It is cool for the podcast, for sure. I mean, this podcast watched the rise and fall of Donald Trump.

Yeah. The fucking... He didn't fall, he just... He just went out of office. He tripped, dude, did you not see? When he was leaving office, he fucking slipped on a banana peel, bonked his little noodle. He got to leave with his fan base intact.

Yes, he did. Pretty awesome. Nothing much was going to change that. No, it's never going to change. But Ukraine, you know, I feel like in my, from my expert analysis, I've had a lot of... From your well-researched opinion on this.

From my several views of reddit threads and tweets it seems like Putin was like yeah I'm gonna do it I'm gonna go in there and crush Ukraine and then you know it's gonna be cause they've actually been building up like economically

preparing for sanctions to fight them back for a long time so I think they were like oh ok fuck it we'll do it we'll get Ukraine and then they didn't expect Ukraine to fight them back for a long time. So I think they were like, oh, okay, fuck it, we'll do it. We'll get Ukraine. And then they didn't expect Ukraine to fight back so hard and get so much international support. And now they're having... Elon Musk is sending some starlight tech out there.

It's no Chamber of Secrets, but good job, Elon. Give yourself a pat on the back if you need to. I'm not trying to be like to celebrate Elon. I'm just saying that even private businesses right? Oh spacex spacex is private yeah okay well we you know we we uh we're connected to spacex a little bit recently yeah we are you know anyways people will see that soon enough um something about ukraine what's going on? Where even is that fucking place?

Is it near Russia? It's in the Middle East I think It's next to Russia I'm sure In the vicinity Do you think I could walk to France from Ukraine? You could walk to France from Ukraine yes Wouldn't be very pleasant It's cold this time of year I'm sure there's some people doing that.

Yeah. It's fucked up. Russian people, epic. Russia, Putin, not epic. A lot of Russians are very... How do you see this fucking playing out? Do you see it backing down? No.

Or do you think that it's just going to be, like, the long game, and they're just going to tighten their kind of, like, perimeter? Until it's not as newsworthy? It could fizzle out in the sense of, like, this just kind of start, like, I don't know, dude, think of, like, the Hong Kong riots. I mean, yeah, they weren't as big and bodacious, you know, but, like, shit went down people people haven't been heard from. They still have their whole genocide shit over there.

But, you know, it's a different news day. Yeah. So I'm just worried that it's great that a lot of people are supporting it right now. It's just there's the worry of Russia playing the quote unquote long game. So people kind of like just stop caring. Yeah. Yeah, it's just there's the worry of Russia playing the quote unquote long game. So people kind of like just stop caring. Yeah. Yeah, it's possible. And I don't know, like with the Internet, people could follow this for months.

People have been following it. I mean, that's China and Russia. It's like people that go out and protest against those governments. Very, very brave. Like all the thousands of people that are getting arrested in like Moscow and St. Petersburg. Very, very brave. Because, I mean, protesting in a place like fucking russia you know that's you know you might not get seen again yeah so i mean shout out to all

the all the russian uh people protesting very brave very very very noble uh you remember you remember the fuckers yes that that little russian goofball youtuber that we used to know way back in the day. Yeah. I saw him posting about this and how he was just very embarrassed and ashamed and sad by it all happening. And how, like, people of Russia don't want this war. Of course they don't. It's Putin's war. Do his name Putin. So it's a war of pride, right?

Yeah. I mean, now he's, like, stuck in a corner. I mean, and he's fucked his entire country. The ruble is... The stock market is... People rushed to the banks to withdraw their money and there was no money to withdraw. It's like the Great Depression.

Some people go through a breakup to go through character development. And others start fucking wars. And lives are lost. It's just crazy to me when i think about at the scale like i guess this happens when i think about a lot of wars now because you think about all the young people dying over there i mean young and old but just a lot of people a lot of people dying unnecessarily all for the kind of dick measuring contest that the politicians are goading out of uh their people all for the sake of propaganda and all for the sake of their image and their lasting impact which absolutely i mean

i don't know maybe maybe he's just trying to secure his place in in russian history books or something but like it's not looking too good right now no but it's it's just like no other history books gonna be like wow what a great dude he was a leader that was very bad he's gonna be known as one of the fucking awful world leaders with a victory we've had a shit ton of awful world leaders i mean we can even talk about the United States having world leaders who have committed war crimes like George W. Bush. Oh yeah. I mean Truman. It's like

basically no world power I think is good. Like you know like everything we say about Russia like you can say United States as well. I know people are going to try to start commenting like we're even going as far as like yeah like obama's fucking drone strikes right like even that type of shit we're talking like all of this stuff like all of this stuff is bad like i'm not trying

to i just want people to know that we're like i'm not trying to play the side of the democrats or Like every every leader is using human fucking life. Yeah. As as a means to bolster their ego. One hundred percent. And that's that's so fucking infuriating to watch. Like these like the like Russian teenagers that are getting slaughtered on the front line. Like they even know what they're doing, like why they're over there. Someone needs to tell them about the War of 1812.

I'll tell you what, Ryan. Putin's like, we're going in to stop a genocide and denazify Ukraine. Because he probably told his people that they're going to Ukraine to liberate it. And then they get there and they're like, what the fuck? So then when Russian soldiers get there and they're held at gunpoint and people are fucking shooting them too like there's there's people who are hungry for blood in Ukraine

and rightfully so especially after the shellings that you that you and I were just talking about right before the podcast in terms of the apartment buildings killing like dozens of civilians because as I said that's just an intimidation tactic and like an intimidation tactic on uh like in normal society would be like a vague threat or a subtweet but when you're a world leader with a fragile ego

and you have your your nation's military at at your disposal you can just kill a few civilians of another country and that's your intimidation tactic. It's not just simply flying planes over and being like, yeah, we got your airspace. It's killing people. Yeah, yeah. It's fucked. It's fucked.

It seems like as of right now, they have Kiev surrounded. Or they're closing in. But it's like, it seems like this of right now they have like Kiev surrounded yeah or they're closing in but it's like it seems like this is just not gone how Russia wanted it to and Zelensky

the president of Ukraine I hope man he there's there's this group called the Wagner group and they're like Russian hired mercenaries

and there's like over a hundred of them in Kiev that like their order is to kill Zelensky. Yeah. So he's, I will say he's a badass. The videos I've seen of him giving speeches

and shitting that, like he's very brave. There is a part of me that is worried because the one side you do have, you know, the Russian propaganda, which we can see from our perspective. Right, right, right. But we also have Western propaganda that is put on us. And given that the fact that we are supporting

and that we are giving aid to Ukraine, it is beneficial to show that that aid is benefiting them. So thus, positive stories are getting shown. I'm worried that when news dies down, or if the news dies down, or just even if it doesn't die down, like, I'm worried that the narrative right now is looking like it, it sucks, but it's looking not more positive for Ukraine than,

than because, but, but that's just like maybe Western propaganda, like pushing to get morale high and, yeah, exactly. And the truth of the matter. I'm sure,

I'm sure the needle is always in between, right? That's what's hard too is cause like no matter where you are in the world, you're, you're not going to get the accurate story. You're getting all this information through media outlets, which all have an agenda. But given the context, we can definitely say that what Putin is doing is bullshit.

It's bad. It's very bad. That's not Western propaganda telling us. No, it's just morally wrong. Putin is a very, very bad, bad man. He's one of, like, the... Like, when you think of, like, the evil dictators... He's always been seen as an evil fucking dictator. Yeah.

There's a reason he was kind of portrayed in House of Cards. They had, like, essentially a Putin-esque type dude. Kevin Spacey betrayed him? And you've heard the story where he, he like steals the dude's Super Bowl ring? I don't know anything about House of Cards. Not even House of Cards. I'm talking about Putin as a person stealing. He stole someone's Super Bowl ring?

I think, I can't remember if it was a coach, assistant coach, whoever. They were involved. They had a Super Bowl ring of some kind. And Putin, the story is that this person told, I can't remember his name. I'm sorry. Look it up, I can't remember his name I'm sorry, look it up I guess the story is that Putin was interested asked to see it, saw it

slipped it in his pocket and then just left the room and that's just one of those power moves cause you can't be like hey no, you can't, sir, especially when he has his security around, he's like what's I know exactly, and what that's not gonna fucking go to court, that's not gonna fucking he stole my Superbowl ring, he has it if he has it, He's like, what? I know, exactly. And what, that's not going to fucking go to court. That's not going to fucking.

He stole my Super Bowl ring. He has it. If he has it, it's his, you know? Yeah. He's terrifying, dude. I mean, he was an ex-KGB agent who specialized in fucking like manipulation. He's terrifying because of the capabilities that I think he still has. Yeah, I've seen.

In terms of being irrational. I mean... He's already been irrational. I'm saying nukes. And when you get backed into a corner more and embarrassed and backed and backed into... Yeah. People like that... I don't want a fear monger at the same time.

No, I know... Who knows the likely... We're speculating, you know? Because it's like... It's big world events going on. Yeah. We're not a news organization, so we're allowed to speculate.

But it seems like when he gets like... People like that, psychopaths, and people with egos like that, and narcissists, when they get pushed into a corner and things don't go their way and they get desperate, especially on the world stage like that, you know? Yeah. It doesn't go well. And Russia is the biggest nuclear stockpile in the world by a pretty big margin, I think. I mean, of course, it's like, we're one to talk.

We're the only country to use a hostile nuclear weapon against another nation, world power such nation. But the thing is, the thing is like, it's not mutually exclusive. Like, by criticizing Russia and stuff,

like right now, like obviously, it doesn't negate, it doesn't negate America fucking. Well, you and I are the ones who ordered the nuke. We can can we're not we as americans do not inherit in the the war crimes and wrongs of things that we weren't even capable of having an understanding right right right we weren't born we had no relation to it i mean we can recognize that what our country did was

horrible and fucked up right and then there's the difference between somewhere where you think of like i i don't want this to get into a shit slinging match i was just gonna mention the tiananmen square shit with china how it's a little more kept down also yeah like like all superpowers do a lot of fucked up things and basically just like one defense i see is when when you know like i see itpowers do a lot of fucked up things. And basically, just, like, one defense I see is when, you know, like, I see it on Twitter a lot. Like, talking about, like, what Russia's doing is bad. It's like, oh, yeah? Well, the United States is like, yeah, that's true.

They're not mutually exclusive. Like, that's absolutely true. That doesn't negate what Russia's doing. And, like, it's, you know, like, we'll call out the shit America does, too, because it's fucked. Like we just did. Yeah. The Middle East. Oops.

You know? All of the 2000s in the Middle East. There's way more than just the Middle East, too. What? Wait, what? There's other countries? We fucked America. Dude, there's a list of countries we bombed since World War II.

There's a laundry list. It's huge. Yeah, there's a laundry list. I was like, I didn't even know that was a country, but we bombed since World War II. There's a laundry list. It's huge. Yeah, there's a laundry list. I was like, I didn't even know that was a country, but we bombed it. We have committed acts of terror on other civilians in other countries. In the last decade. Yeah. And also, I mean, that's what I'm saying.

Like, the three big superpowers, Russia, China, and the United States, I think are all pretty evil. In their own rights, respectively, here and there. We're not terrorists. We're just terrorists here living. In the USA, the big CIA, the Bloods and the Crips and the KKK. If you only have love for your own race, then you only leave space to discriminate. And when you discriminate, it generates hate. And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate.

Man, this is what we demonstrate yeah okay that's how anger works operates I don't know the rest of them it's a good song though people killing

people dying children hurting here to the crime I think the whole world needs to listen to that song right now can you turn the other cheek

that's what Russian troops are gonna be singing after they after they have to back out of Ukraine can you turn the other cheek? That's what Russian troops are going to be singing after they have to back out of Ukraine. Can you turn the other cheek? Come on, just turn the other cheek. It was an accident. Sorry. Yeah, I mean, what's weird is, what's crazy is like with social media,

it's kind of like a 2.0 version of what happened in Vietnam, where it was like the first war that was like televised where people could actually see what was going on where with social media it's now you can instantly see. I do want to make sure though because there is a lot of misinformation being spread on all accounts in terms of audio clips and video clips being used

from like things that have happened years ago and in this location. I do want to make sure though that the apartment stuff, I haven't checked the original source of it. No, I called Putin. He confirmed it. But there are videos that have gotten widespread notoriety. This is more stuff that's on TikTok that's generating a lot of clicks and likes.

This isn't coming from. Yeah. And that's also what's really hard too is like someone on TikTok can put like a like a picture of Zelensky in the front lines

that's actually from like seven years ago and it gets like 80 million likes. Yeah. And people spread it around like look he's down there in the front lines right now when that's not true, etc.

Like this, that's just an example. Like, you know, and that's also the thing with social media and i mean russia itself is is famous as you know being one of the main aggressors when it comes to like fake news on social media and pushing using algorithms to push you know fake shit and manipulating people because they know like you can't you can't feed you can't feasibly check every original source. The average person isn't going to logistically try to create a yarn board

for the original conceptualization of this video or photograph. So most people take it at face value. Because you just see it and then move on to the next thing. Because it is a major world event that's going on and you do hear reports of of uh of of artillery being used and then you see videos of artillery being used and so of course you link a to b and you're like okay yeah every single uh video from ukraine no matter what day it is or what it just it looks like the exact same set. It's just cloudy, dead trees, dilapidated buildings. That's Ukraine, baby. It's in snow.

It looks awful. It's God's country. It is God's country. That's no man's land out there. But damn, yeah, we'll see what happens in the next week with this Russia stuff. It's pretty insane. What I was saying earlier is it's wild watching,

like what I was saying the Vietnam thing is it's, now it's like people can actually see war like instantly, like two minutes after an explosion

on the other side of the world you can watch the video on your phone. People are live streaming it. Uh-huh. And it's like, it's just crazy getting to watch

like a, pretty much what's like a World War II style invasion happen like just from the comfort of your bedroom while you're ordering uber eats and and uh yeah it's it's it's wild and there's a lot of fake information out there and uh a lot of uh a lot of misinformation and just also a lot of uh just real shit that you know you got to wade through and figure out.

It's hard to figure out what's real and what's not. But it's crazy just watching on social media like a war unfold. And then, you know, it's literally happening as we record this podcast right now. People getting killed. But like we can in no way, like we can call out that it's horrific. But we can no way like truly imagine the situation. I was thinking that earlier. It's like I'm watching it like.

It's truly like a fucking like alert level 10 big red light blinking. Air sign. Like because like people our age. It's bad. like just dudes our age like just last week we're just like chilling and now they're like in the streets

with like an AK-47 fighting for their fucking home getting fucking shot at yeah fighting for their home and their family they did nothing

they're just like they're being invaded on and like they're not allowed to leave the country either 18 to 60 year old men have to stay to fight

and uh it's like that sucks that like that just happened and now it's like so many just dudes our age people civilians just people just dying for no reason there's a lot of people you see videos of them uh making road blockades uh they They're actually like, they were like, I can't remember, they were making something. Molotov cocktails?

Yeah, Molotov cocktails. I see a bunch of like just random dudes just making them. Kids, even kids. Like everyone is joining in the effort to protect their home. When it becomes

defending your home, like that's, the South loves, hey, if you're from the South, you'll love this. You know, you gotta defend your home, home and liberty. That's exactly what loves. Hey, if you're from the South, you'll love this. You know, you got to defend your home, home and liberty. That's exactly what these people are doing. And if you push people to defend their own homes, then they're going to fight with everything they have.

Is Kyle Rittenhouse going to fly over to Ukraine to protect the businesses? I hope so, dude. The world has never needed Kyle Rittenhouse more. We need to send him in. Get him a first class ticket and throw him on the prom he is his own SEAL team he is dude

we don't need to send SEAL teams anywhere in the world as long as we've got Kyle Rittenhouse does he have his Rittenhouse coin or what was he

what was his NFT oh yeah he said he was gonna make NFT dude it's just profile picture it's like

I don't know it's so fucking funny to me I got famous for killing people and now I saw him on Tucker Carlson saying he wants to sue President Biden for calling him a white supremacist. Oh, Kyle. Like, dude, that was like the most dystopian shit was watching him walk out at CPAC with like the like pyrotechnic fireworks. And he's like waving and smiling.

It's like this dude killed people. He went out looking for a fight, found it, and then shot people. His mom drove him as a 17-year-old across state lines looking for a fight. Is the across state lines true? I just want to make sure that's not like a parroted, I want to, you know what I mean? Let me, I'll fact check it. Regardless, that's not, fuck that shit. That's just another added factor just in case.

fuck that shit that's just another added factor just in case the main thing is he went to a protest that he knew oh he did not it was not okay so there you go i've heard that a million times it was not that's what i'm saying he did not illegally bring a gun across state lines but he did bring a firearm and i i and this is all just of course my intuition my thoughts on it right and you can say yeah those are just your thoughts and you're right they are just my thoughts and this is my podcast and I'm talking like an idiot but it's just like he fucking went there

he went across state lines he didn't bring a gun across state lines it was his friend from Wisconsin oops he went there looked for a fight found it and then killed people in accordance that's about it he went there knowing he wasn't going there like out of some due diligence and like protecting

businesses I think he honestly just wanted to use his gun and he did he's LARPing and then it got real but yeah he's I would love to help the GoFundMe

so much tea this episode into the podcast I know I know so much fucking tea dude so much tea on Ukraine so much tea on Rittenhouse who else have we more like Kyle Rottenhouse

oh yeah more like Kyle shit and piss amen you know yeah Bile shit and blouse who else have we I felt like we spilled

a little more tea wanna spill a little more tea spill some on Putin but that that's, you know, the Russian shit. Putin, yeah, more like pooping, you know, right? That's probably what he's doing in his pants right now. I'd like to poop in his mouth. Oh, yeah, yeah, dude, okay. How about a Vladimir poop

in his pants? Hog on this log, you know? Oh, nice, dude. Not my penis. No? Log of poop. Log of poop. Shit, feces. Right down his throat. Oh, yeah. You know? Yeah, the difference in tone within a log of poop feces right down his throat you know yeah the difference in tone within a given 30 seconds of this podcast always

bewilders me sometimes when I take a step back it's purely a unique experience I'm sure like you could have honestly you could have put like the last 15 minutes on for someone that doesn't know us that's like a like oh yeah to my like 30 year, like, to my, like, 30-year-old friend who's interested in politics,

give this a listen. Like, oh, yeah, okay, these guys talk about politics, and there's, yeah, I'm gonna poop down his throat. Oh. Alright, turn it off, then. Alright. I didn't know that that's what it was. And 28, right? One of them's 28? That's cool. 26 and 28, okay. Almost 29.

Okay. In a few months. Alright. I'm almost 28 in a's cool. 26 and 28, okay. Almost 29, okay. In a few months. I'm almost 28 in a few months. I'm 27. Okay, yeah. I was just kind of rounding it up. Yeah, I didn't do anything. I'm trying to get used to 28. That's what I did with 26.

Two months before I turned 26, I was like, 26. And then two years from now, I'm going to be like, 26 was so young. Now I'm a fucking old man. I can't believe this, dude. What, Poonie? Before I know it, I'm going to be dead and in, well, not in the dirt. I'll be ashes maybe.

Or maybe I'll be. Don't bury me. Maybe I'll be burnt ground beef on the side of the road. In the Ukrainian front lines. I was thinking more of a car accident or something. Okay. Well, I mean, Zelensky asked foreigners to come fight, so. Can we go to Ukraine?

We could. Could we? I don't know if they'd let us. Can we fly into Ukraine? I don't. How do we get into Ukraine? I don't think America would let us go. How do we get into Ukraine?

Probably fly into a neighboring country like Poland and then take a train. How do we get firearms? Will they supply us? They'll probably just give us firearms. They'll give us the firearms. Yeah. They're handing them out to, I mean, they're getting shipped weapons left and right, and they're just handing them out to people. From what I've seen.

Okay, how about this? Let's make a trip. Let's go to Japan. Do the suicide force video we've been talking about. And pitch a flight over to Ukraine. Okay, sorry. Poland. Yeah, Poland.

Pitch a flight over. No, let's go to France first. I've never been. I kind of want to play around. Yeah, Poland. Pitch a flight over. No, let's go to France first. I've never been. I kind of want to play around. Yeah, play around. Wine and shit. A little baguette. And then, you know, fly to Poland, have a little bit of a weekend there maybe.

And then just walk on, stroll on over and vlog our experiences fighting for Ukraine. That'd be fucking awesome. Fighting for democracy. Yeah. You know? Super Mega saves the troops. Yeah. True story. Oh, we have know? Super Mega saves the troops. Yeah. True story.

Oh, we have to find some people in that forest, though. Oh, we will. Easy. Easy. You know? Okay, here's a question. If we did that, the controversy would be big, but it also, like, because we're not the first ones to do that.

We'd be kicked off of YouTube. It'd be like, YouTubers did it again. You know, only Logan Paul can keep a YouTube channel after showing the dead corpse of a man hanging from a tree

who committed suicide well it uh wearing a Toy Story beanie with the alien from the climate I'm talking about the dude

that hung himself I was like he's wearing a Toy Story beanie and I'm like oh yeah the fucking the alien every time when we were in Japan every time I fucking saw that little alien from Toy Story,

like in like a like crane machine or something, I was like, that's it, man. I can't fucking not. That's always all over Japan. I couldn't like not associate that every time I keep getting away with it. How does he keep getting away with it? Because he's rich. Yeah. Money.

That's what that's it all comes down to. Well, it's the fact that he makes YouTube money. Yes. If he didn't make YouTube money, then they would be like, boink. But the fact that YouTube makes so much money off of him. It's old news. Get over it. That's the thing, man.

It's true. It's really true. And this is in every single sphere of the world, whether it's politics, whether it's entertainment, whether it's just real life, like, small scale, it's like the rules don't apply to people once you have a certain amount of money. You know? Like, you just don't. You know? The rules are made for us, us simpletons

to follow. Uh, what are you talking about? Well, not, not, you show your millionaire card to the traffic, like, the people who get you on a traffic stop, right? Of course I do. Okay, good. I thought you were going to say the trashman, which I do that too, just to rub it in.

No, of course. Say, hey, see this? I'll throw away a couple stacks of $100 bills. Like, oh, that's $20,000, $30,000 in the trash. And I'm like, oh, wait, wait, wait. Oh, you guys might want to pick that out of the trash. And trashmen aren't allowed to do that. So what I'll do is then I'll take like some

motor oil and pour it on top to ruin the money. I'm so proud of the millions you've made me. That's Putin? Yeah, sure. Matt Ryan. That's how Putin sounds. That is, yeah. Putin kind of... Dude, that's exactly how it sounds. And then Zelensky's like,

Like, papers, please. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, I do. Dude, this is a great time to bring back Papers, Please. Hell yeah. Except we'll get Justin to edit Putin's face on our favorite character. Yes! Yes!

I forgot his name. Georgie? Georgie. Georgie, right? Maybe. Great short man. Little short man. Short guy. Georgie, Georgie, right? Maybe. Great musician too. A little short man. Short guy.

Georgie, yeah. We saw him live. He was great. Hey. Yeah. You know what? You know what I'm thinking? Ad reads?

Welcome back to, from the fat reads. Ha ha ha! I can tell after saying that your eyes were like, whoa, because you probably thought he's not going to say it.

I wouldn't say that slur on the podcast. At least not on the podcast, bro. Hey, check it out. Where has my penis gone? Oh, it's under the couch right there. What? Right there.

It's your penis. Yep. I can't see it. Where? Nope, nope. Sorry, that was just a dust bunny. What? Why'd you make me look under the couch for my penis?

I'm trying to look up the penis for you. Hey, man. What? You have my penis? I have your penis right here. I had it the whole time. Give it back. You want it? Yes. Not? You have my penis? I have your penis right here. I had it the whole time. Give it back. You want it?

I just did, man. Here, now you can have it back. Does it taste good? It tastes great, man. Thanks, man. Like guava pineapple kiwi, you know? Something like that. It's good as fuck, man.

Hey, you got a little special someone coming to visit you, huh? I do. Yeah? You got a little, uh... I don't want the fans to know about her. Oh, okay. You want to keep her secret? Oh, yeah.

Like the other one? Okay. It's my mom. Got a little piece coming. It's Ryan's mom. She's visiting for a solid 10 days. Celebrate good times. Come on, let's celebrate.

Hey, girl. Yeah, man. Ow! I haven't seen your mom in like a few years. Besides last week. I was wondering why you didn't make that joke earlier in the car. Because there was no audience listening, so it just wouldn't have served any purpose. Well, we're friends.

Don't you want to entertain me a bit? Not really. I was waiting for it. Honestly, I didn't think about it. I even asked it again, hoping that it would register. Okay, looking back, yeah. I said I hadn't seen your mom in two years, and you're like, really? It's been two years?

And you were opening that up for me, but I was... Yeah, I was setting you up. No, I actually didn't even think of that. But it's nice to know that it finally did come come around. Yeah it came around you know you probably shit. What happened? My phone just fell off the chair on the laptop. Is it okay? Yeah it's fine. Like the whole day you were probably just sitting there thinking like damn I really set him up for that

and he just missed it. The whole ride that's why I was in a bad mood. You were just fucking yeah that's why. I didn't think I you know we were both in bad moods mainly just because like that and You've been in in bad moods, mainly just because, like, that. You've been in pretty bad moods recently. We have been in pretty bad moods recently. We're bad boys in some bad moods.

Yeah, a couple of bad boys that have been, you know, listening to Michael Jackson's bad and feeling in a bad mood. Let's talk about that a bit. Let's talk about it. Sorry. Nope. Can't. Yeah, we've uh

we've been you guys have heard us out we've just been dealing with some stupid shit behind the scenes and uh we'll update you guys

as soon as we can but ain't been in the best mood yeah and uh a lot of our time is is unfortunately

having to be 90% of our time lately has been consumed by focused elsewhere yeah but we will be back at it uh it's is unfortunately having to be 90% of our time lately has been consumed by just elsewhere. Yeah. But we will be back at it. Uh,

it's, we're still here earlier divorces, especially when someone, you know, unjust, unjust, unjustifiably thinks that they have more right to certain pieces of property. Yes.

Yeah. I'm talking about you right now, but well, I see it the other way. Yeah. I'm talking about you right now, but... Well, I see it the other way. Oh, I can clip you. You just agreed with me, and I can clip that and give that to the attorney. What?

I said when someone unjustifiably feels like they have the right to... And you said yes. That was talking about you. I don't give you consent to release this. It's a podcast. You didn't tell me you were recording. You didn't tell me this was for the purpose of legal litigation. I thought we were just talking as friends.

Yeah, but you're trying to put me under binding contract. You're trying to say I can send this to my lawyer. I am. No, you can't because I don't give you permission. Because I didn't know that under... My lawyer just likes listening to the podcast because he's a fan. Okay. But you just threatened legal litigation against me.

So now I'm taking a stand and saying that I do not threaten legal litigation against you. I do not give you conspressed consent to release this podcast. And if you do, the fans will have my back in the comments. Oh, really? Oh, yeah. Your best friend is suing you for $600 million.

Good fucking movie, man. Fuck you, Matt Matt you didn't have Ryan's consent to release this podcast you stupid little biatch cause then if they said bitch

they might get reported for abuse well I'm still reported biatch is French dude I'll still fucking report it okay French for what these nuts

pretty much yeah get a good taste salty man last time you'll ever see them or taste them last time you'll ever see these bad boys

no please please you know in like Wolf of Wall Street when she's like last time you'll see this I was thinking more of Arrested Development when she gets the boob job

oh yeah you're gonna miss these imagine a guy's like yeah I bet you're gonna miss these just pulls out this wonderful set of balls fucking like fly like flies out of his fly

flies out of his fly yeah you know are flaccid like okay I have nevermind no go for it man I already know where you're going with this question are you gonna ask are flaccid penises considered like hot like can they be considered like are people turned on by flaccid penises is that what you're asking I guess because well there's no kind of direct correlation

in terms of like like something that changes so drastically and the tone of the fact that it's changed so drastically and the implications of why it's changed and there's no um it's it's I don't know what do you think? I think that I think a flaccid penis is beautiful in the sense of like from a standpoint of pure sexuality I sent you a picture of my flaccid penis recently you asked me to send you a picture

of my penis and I did for business purposes I said you know I have to reply to this person uh how about you send me a dick pic to send to them and then i looked at my phone and there was just a full frontal direct just you were in the shower so you were you were slippery and shiny and wet you'd shave uh it looked right uh. There wasn't much of a bush there. There wasn't. I mean, there was hair.

There was hair. But yeah. See, that's that's, you know, I haven't. I haven't shaved in a month or so. Yeah. Yeah. But it's you know, it wasn't like full bush. But, you know, your penis was was postured very nicely.

And, you know. Thanks, man. When I saw it, I said to myself, I was like, he could have just grabbed it off Google. But then I was like, I know I recognize the bathroom tile in your bathroom. That's that's his penis. And I said, that's really your penis, isn't it? And you're like, he could have just grabbed it off Google. But then I was like, I know I recognize the bathroom tile in your bathroom. That's his penis. And I said, that's really your penis, isn't it? And you're like, yep. Great picture.

It was a good, like, the balls. Do you not recognize my penis? No, no, I do. I do. It was just like, usually when I see your penis, it's so, it's, I don't get the chance to really, like, stare at it and take it in. Okay. And when I see your penis in person, I don't even take for granted. I'm like, was that his penis or was that someone else's penis?

Obviously it's your penis. Yeah. But when it's a picture, it's like, that could have been someone else's penis. Of course. But I, no, I, I did recognize it. I asked, I'm like, that's your penis, isn't it? Instead of, is that your penis? Because I assumed it was your penis.

Yeah. A nice penis though. Thanks, man. Fantastic penis. Very, uh. It's, it's a. But yes, flaccid penises can be considered attractive for sure. I mean, there's people that, that are. But but are they generally are they just seen like as like pathetic looking

funny objects i would say then when they're erect that's when it like turns sexual i would say yes well beauty's in the eye of the beholder ryan but how many but in terms of the rate like you'd be out ratioed by the amount of people that would laugh at the sight of a of an of a flaccid penis you have a group here you got a group of people right show them a flaccid penis more people are going to laugh than be aroused show them an erect penis more people will be aroused than laugh okay right does that make sense yeah now some now balls you know testicles that you know that's that's that's kind of just a people don't really laugh at balls as much as they would have flashed a penis looks funnier than balls are balls attractive yeah of course people people like balls you know otherwise uh

you know when when in porn they just blur them out do people do the peeper do people love the oh my god i'm fucking up my words. I'm getting so flustered. Yeah, think about those balls. Do people lust after balls to the same capacity that people lust after breasts? No, because I would say breasts are more sexualized than balls. Okay. Why?

Because... One is an actual sexual organ. Right. Well, breasts are a sexual organ, but... They're not used for sexual intercourse. That's true. That's true. They're used for nursing a child, which is produced through sexual intercourse,

but no way are they necessary for a baby or intercourse to be had. Breasts are not inherently sexual, I don't think. We've been taught that they're sexual. And we're attracted to breasts from what I'm assuming from an evolutionary standpoint is because we're attracted from a reproductive standpoint

where you see the big breasts and you're like, that's good for more babies, right? That's a lot of milk. Right, exactly. Those breasts can hold some milk. Why are we attracted to breasts? It has to be that evolutionary aspect, right?

But in that case, wouldn't dogs be attracted to dog nipples? Like when they got the big fucking hanging milkers hanging down? Right now, most of it does. I mean, there's a huge sexual component to, of course, like a natural sexual component. But I do also believe that it is learned to an extent because it's seen as a faux pas. Think of back in the day like like they are sexualized like it's stuck in your face as this is a no-no this is sexual yeah and you look at you know like or back in his like in film they would smoke a cigarette

to kind of signify an intent like smoking a cigarette back in the day was essentially sex on right and when i when i see someone smoking a cigarette in public i get the same reaction i get horny and basically you know you look at like like a tribe you know where the women don't wear shirts yeah you know their tatas are bouncing everywhere but but but it's not sexual right you know it's like no it doesn't it doesn't derive a sexual reaction from it you could yeah but but not the people probably in these civilizations you know it's like they don't see the breast as sexual, so does that mean they're inherently sexual?

Or were we just taught that the tot taught? I think it's mostly learned. I think it is mostly learned, you know? My thing about, you know, the Free the Nipple movement, you get all these conservative dudes, like my father, who say, oh, no, put... Be humble. But wouldn't you think

they would just want to see some titties you're telling me a squire back in the day wasn't looking at some titties and going

whoa no for sure damn absolutely Joseph with the Virgin Mary they were selling sex back then too

so they were selling sex for a long time sex is is is sells the longest trade maybe yeah yeah well tell me this people probably bartered for sex before and absolutely like you know like

i'll i'll i'll pack these hay bales if you um jostle on my knot and i'll my my rock my cock into your mouth if you say one more fucking word. Well, that's not a bargain. Well, I guess it is, but it's more aggressive. Okay, Matt. Oh, fucking shit. Okay, we're going to go to ad. Ryan, come on. I told you. I told you the warning.

Yeah, I am. Okay. Yeah. Well, I might as well not. No, go ahead. No, I'm kidding. Give it a try. No, it's fine.

Come on, just give it a try. I fucked it up the first time. Now that I've got your cock out of my mouth. That's what you meant to say? Yes. Yeah. Well, man, I don't have to keep it in. You can try again if you want. No, but you'd keep it in. No, I'm not. Just start fresh. Start fresh. I'm not going to keep it in. I'm not going to keep it in.

I don't trust you. Start fresh. Start from right here. I love you. But I don't trust you. Relationships are built on trust, dude. I said I love you. I think this may be a step too far it's one of those things where it's

so small that if you kept it in it's like why would I actually even care but it's like also every second we talk about it more though the more the more it's gonna matter we're making more content about me not doing it than if I just did it so I'm helping us out I won't keep keep it in. I'm helping us out here.

I won't keep it in. Just start fresh. No, no, no. This is content. I liked the joke. Start fresh. This is good content. I'm not...

And we have to keep this in now. I'd rather you feel vindicated... It doesn't matter about my vindication. ...than we make content, dude. What are you talking about? We're not content machines. This is all about the content. Well, of course we're not content machines.

Obviously, from our upload habits as of recently, machines obviously from our upload uh habits as of recently we uh our our mental capacity is is thin and small to begin with and we have to be focusing on something that is a part of the business but more important than playing uh another let's play series right now but we will get back to the fun vlogs we're hey we already got we got we already got a sketch shot edited we got vlogs coming up we just don't want to like release it and then like go quiet like we're saving stuff for when we can really fully like come back don't uh commit time back to the channel yeah which which hopefully should be very soon fingers crossed can't make any promises but them

yes them you know what do you say to a non-binary person instead of yes sir yes ma'am probably don't because that's from an old in time people who demanded respect cousin's gender neutral

you earn respect you don't demand it partner's gender neutral. You earn respect. You don't demand it. Yes, cousin. Partner. Partner's gender neutral. Okay, partner. Howdy, partner. Howdy, partner. We've been distracted behind the scenes.

We've been, you know, it's been not a fun month, but let's talk about some of the good stuff in our lives right now. Elden Ring came out. Yeah, talk to me about Elden Ring. That's actually a game I've been considering playing. And you're giving me that look.

And when I, on the phone with you yesterday, I said, well, we had a conversation. I said bye, and I said, wait, wait, wait, wait. And then you hung up by accident because I waited until the last second, and I called you back, and you're like, yeah? And I was like, hey, tell me about this Elden Ring, because I've been considering playing it myself. I want to say, I want i want you it would be awesome for you to play it i'll try it

but at the same time there's a a lot to learn it's not my type of game but it but but what if it's not my type of game just because i don't give these games a chance and think about that as long as you feel like you are okay with beating your head against kind of like a brick wall. Because this game is all about setting up walls so you do kind of learn the mechanics. You have to actually build walls and get your head on them? No, it's like going up against the same boss for four to five hours type of thing. Yeah, that's... See, my patience...

That's what I'm saying. I'm a little bitch and i like more instant gratification you know this doesn't really provide instant gratification even like the earlier bosses i would say for someone who hasn't been introduced to like this style of game they're they're somewhat like i like a few of the first uh dungeon smaller dungeons you come across like the bosses are easy but you still have to learn their movesets and you will be

punished for not timing your dodge out of the way but if you want to try I'm just giving you fair expectations because this isn't like a fun go anywhere explore the world the world is very unforgiving I'll stick with tamagotchi

corner shop yes yeah but you've played yakuza and i mean those yakuza isn't really that hard it's not hard it's fun i mean some some of the like some of the big time fights are pretty difficult yeah i mean i i do enjoy though well like i i enjoyed finding a boss for a couple hours and finally beating it yeah Yeah. It's just... And like the regular enemies, you just... How about this? You can kill them in like two to three sword hits. Like, ta-ta-ta.

But their attacks can take out like a third to half your health in one go. Goddamn. So you can't take that many hits. So you have to like... If you have a shield, use that shield. If you don't, you have to like dodge back and then go in. Yeah, that's the thing that's tricky. And actually, that's one of the biggest problems I'm having with boxing right now.

Is maybe you've thought this, or maybe I'm just not specifically cut out for boxing. As much as you or, you know, more athletic people are. But it's like, when i watch boxing you have the pinnacle child for athleticism i'm looking at him thanks man and basically it's like my like my brain doesn't it seems like you have to compute like you you have to like process what's happening make a counter move to it and like like you have to be processing things so fast i'm like i i don't like think like that like my brain doesn't process well right now it's hard mentally for everyone it's hard because they're having to train and learn how to box i want to react on instinct

but that's that takes time that takes react on a counter measure. Like when I feel a certain punch, it's like I got to react this way instead of just, especially because sparring, you know, the adrenaline is so high. Like I'm not even really thinking that much. I'm kind of just like. I don't have it all in the bag. Like I'm not saying like I am great, but it helps to remind yourself that you still have a lot of progress to make. It helps to remind yourself that you still have a lot of progress to make. And that, you know, it is not most, but a lot of it will come down to muscle memory because you want to be able to use more of your brain instead of just having to react. You want to be able to think about your next move. That's why what we're doing right now is just we're doing like when we're not sparring, we've just been doing nothing but repetition.

Yeah. Where it's like drills, where it's like I throw you this and you immediately do this. So it becomes like muscle memory. So that's what my guy's doing. He's's like, I throw you this and you immediately do this. So it becomes like muscle memory. So that's what my guy's doing. He's just like, I'm just going to throw, he's going to throw the same punch combo and I'm just going to have to dodge it the same way every time.

So when I've, whenever I see movement in a shoulder going a certain way, I know, but he's going to start throwing in fake outs and shit. Yeah. Cause that's the thing is like, then I feel like I'm just like memorizing it. And he, you know, my trainer's telling me, he me he's like well like you got to feel it instead of think

about it which it comes with repetition that comes well it's the same thing of like working out it's why you don't want to do the same workout every single day because you will get used to it it's in that same wheelhouse where you're right it will kind of just become repetition and you will just, it's like a pattern that you learn. And that's why you have to throw in different combinations and different styles of punching. And then you throw in fake outs and blah, blah,

blah. And this is stuff that I have not really practiced a lot in. I'm just saying it makes me feel better knowing that I still have that. Right. We still have time, time and a lot. And, and that time can be used to get the feel for it.

And the fact is we aren't professional athletes, so we're not. You aren't. I mean, speak for yourself. Okay. But we. My 23andMe said I'm in an elite muscle category, okay? Okay, okay. I was looking at it last night.

Elite muscle category. Let's go. I'm ready. I'm ready for the come up, baby. It's already been happening. What do you mean you're ready for it? I'm just kidding. You fucking Mr. Glow Up over here. I still have my tummy. Ryan, shut up, dude. I'm looking at you.

When I walked into the Plex today and I saw you, you're wearing some kind of tighter pants, you're wearing a a button up shirt. You look like a fucking toothpick. I don't look like a dude thing. Dude, you're not used to it because you see yourself every day in the mirror. It's an incredible difference. And I'm not the only one saying that.

I'm scared to see the before pictures. People are whispering behind the scenes about you, Ryan. They're saying he looks fucking good. For real. Thank you. Thank you. A lot of people have said that. A lot of people are like, damn, he's fucking looking good.

It's very noticeable. You're looking very manly as well. Manly doesn't mean good. It does. Well, how am I looking manly? What makes a man? So if you're questioning what makes a man, then what does that mean? I'm looking manly.

No, that was like a rhetorical, like, of- What is a man to you? What makes a man? What's a man to you? What makes a man? What's a man to you? Okay. How about I'll rephrase to masculinity, a more masculine look because. I'm a man, but you know. Muscle growth and weight gain.

A lot of people say I'm thin. How about that? I got very direct. Okay. I have gained some weight in the last week. That's the problem. I gained five pounds in the last week. And when I look in the mirror, my shirt off, I have gained some weight in the last week. That's the problem. I gained five pounds in the last week. And when I look in the mirror of my shirt off,

I can see it. It goes away. It can go away in literally two days if I don't keep it up. Like my body burns calories and burns fat. Like I don't have to do anything. Like I can literally just like sit in bed and my body just fucking burns everything away,

which a lot of people are like, that's awesome. I hate it. It fucking sucks. Give that to me. I would love to train. I wish my metabolism, like, what I've noticed is in the last two years especially, my metabolism has slowed a little bit. As I'm, you know, now I'm 26. Like, it's your mid-20s, apparently, late-20s, where it really starts to slow down.

Because now I notice, like. Well, we're still young enough to where if we want to make a change, it's like so doable. Yeah, and now is really the time. Our trainers are both older. You know, they're,

Mine's 82. Yeah, they're, they're, they're decrepit. But like, my trainer says this to me and I know your trainer has to

because every time I mention, you know, I'm, I'm getting up there, you know, it's metabolism. He's like, dude, shut up. I'm like, he's like, I'm getting up there, you know, it's metabolism. He's like, dude, shut up. He's like, I'm like 50-something or whatever.

He's like, you. Is your guy in his 50s? Yeah, 40s or 50s. Mine's 44, 45. Might be 40s. I might be being a bitch. You would never fucking guess my dude's in his 40s. Just because he's so on top of it.

I say pretty good. I just say pretty. I didn't mean to. You think he's pretty? No. And top of it i say pretty good i know i just say pretty just i didn't mean to you think he's pretty no and ryan thinks the man's pretty my guy looking my my guy looking good yeah same same ruben is fucking looking like a fucking ruben sandwich with extra dressing hell yeah you know he like i when he told me he was 44 i was like i would have guessed like 32 but what i was getting to is i'm sure he's made the comment of like oh you have so much but you're still so young you have so much potential your body is easily like malleable

even at what he says he says that like he said that like right now it's not the cutoff but he's like you're at a point right now where like if you want to like fully turn everything around you still can if you wait until you're like like five seven years older from now, it's going

to be a lot harder. But right now you're in a point where it's like, you're, you're in like, not the last point to do it, but you're, you're in a point where you still are able to fully, completely redo your health and your body where when you're in your thirties and forties, that can become really, really difficult. Yeah. Especially when you bring those, those same habits over into your thirties and forties, because it's even harder to kick. Yeah, especially when you bring those same habits over into your 30s and 40s because it's even harder to kick. Yeah, habits in your 30s and 40s I feel like are so ingrained by then where it's like if you break them in your 20s, you can be okay.

I'm trying to kick all my vices before 30. Well, I mean, that also just sounds like I'm postponing it. In general, what I mean is like I want to. I'm 25, and here I am going on 28 with still some of my vices not completely cut out, unfortunately. Well, you always have. Everyone has vices. And, you know, as much as you want to say like, oh, I'm not. You need the kick because of your lasting health, unfortunately.

Right, right. You know, it's like it's hard because it's also hard with time because it's like, oh, you know, like if I'm giving myself the deadline of 30, I'm 26 right now. It's like, oh, you know, what's another drink today then? Or what's some more vaping today, you know? No better day than today. Today. Yeah. There's no day.

Why wait a week? Why are you giving yourself that extra wiggle room? What matters? What matters is the extra week that you give yourself. It doesn't. I say that, but it's not going to change me. It's lenient. Leniency.

Yeah. Dude, self-'s not going to change me. It's lenient. Leniency. Yeah. Dude, self-discipline is really hard. Especially, honestly, I think that it's really hard being, like, one of the things about being your own boss in the sense of, like, you and I are able to kind of dictate our schedules. Like, we're not reporting to someone necessarily. And I think that one of the pitfalls of that that people don't talk about is that it makes going easy on yourself too easy yeah and then you can really over the last few years i've really gotten in the habit of just like being lenient on myself because it's why would you not want to be leaning on yourself right like why when you're when you're faced with like give yourself as much realization as you want when you're when you're when you're

it's a very event in control of everything and it's like you're faced with two paths it's like okay I could not have a beer tonight and I'll feel better tomorrow etc. But in the big picture you know one beer tonight

is fine. I can quit next week or whatever. I can really get healthy next week but it's like that never stops. That keeps going. so it's like when you're faced with two roads where one's easy one's hard it's like you're always gonna want to naturally choose the easy road and when you don't have direct consequences like you're reporting to someone or something it becomes really easy just to get in the habit of of being and that's something that i need to work on like that i've recognized is like i need to work on my own self-discipline really hard because I don't want to solidify bad habits of self-discipline as I go into my 30s, you know. And it's hard.

kind of a rough a pretty rough patch right now but um we we are sorry about the like it's just they're they're the excuses that we have but in generally we we are sorry and we do apologize right for the lack of consistency in terms of like let's even as simple as like putting the patreon uh podcast out. What I'm talking about directly plays into that. Yeah. You know, for both of us, because it's like, it's, it's like when, when, when we're dealing with shit or like things aren't so good, it just becomes really easy to be like like we don't have time or the mental energy right now to to focus on recording or getting you know it'll eventually go out people won't like you know like people might be mad right now but you know we'll we'll come back and and that becomes the easy mindset to get into

and and honestly like what sucks too is just like uh lower patches of of uh mood and mental health and and misfortunes breed unfortunately at least in myself just lack of motivation like it becomes really difficult for me to find motivation we do and you can call that laziness you can call that whatever but like it's it's the i i don't want people to get the idea. I think for me, it's the idea that it's like, we are like, uh, it's like,

Oh, we're just taking the Patreon money and we got comfortable and we're running. And it's like, we're not fulfilling our duties. We're not like, we don't care anymore. Yeah. And that's,

that's the biggest misconception. And I understand, I do understand why from the outside people would think that because I, you've seen it happen before with other creators, you know? Uh, and we do fail to you know fulfill our our duties as creators uh on multiple occasions uh our self-imposed duties not gonna yeah not gonna like sugarcoat that not just like our duties but but i want to get across that I don't feel like these are our expectations. Right, right. I'm not, I'm not, it would be nice to please like the fans with our content.

That's the goal of like creating this content. But in terms of like uploading the podcast on time and stuff like that, that's, that's on us. And that is more of a pitfall like of like me being disappointed with how i'm kind of making the channel look like it it does matter the reputation of the channel and stuff i just don't want people to think that we will ever kind of create content at a rate and even create the type of content uh people are asking for just because they want it or just because um it's like what the fans want it this channel was started um a long ass time ago and we have put a lot of fucking work into it we still continue uh to put work into it it's you will see when we come back with the sketches and the vlog and the Let's Plays and stuff.

We've had a lot of hiatuses in the past, but this one is especially taxing. And as Matt has said, we will update you guys on this. We apologize for the shortcomings, and we hope that we can make it up to you. But more importantly, it's like, it'll be better for Matt and I's mental health if we can like make it better to ourselves. Cause we're more confident in the channel when we can make it look good.

And right now we realize that our mental health is getting in the way of that. And that is also a very privileged point to have where you can get away with, not get away with, but you can have the leniency of mental health affecting the work and still being able to, you know, go through your day to day comfortably. And get by, right? And get by. And I fully understand why to a lot of people that pisses them off because they, a lot of people don't have that, you know, privilege. Yeah. So I understand getting mad about that. Again, like I would say like the Patreon money doesn't get like funneled into like, like I'm not, our, our, our, our rent and, and our bills don't get paid with the patreon money the super megaplex

gets paid with the patreon money and like a chunk of it but like we are grateful for the amount and the amount of support that we have gotten on the patreon it's if you truly are disappointed, I understand you canceling your subscription. Absolutely. But right now, like I get it, like we see the fan, the fan, the patron reaction. We know that some of them are being very generous with giving us a lot of leniency. There are other people who are just kind of chilling and don't really care. And then there are other people who are very upset and we see all sides of, uh, we see all sides of the comments. And if you are upset, I don't mean this in a bullshitty attitude way. I'm being genuine. If you feel that we are running short right now

and you're disappointed, maybe it is best that you unsubscribe because you might need the money more than you feel that it's worth giving. Right. Look, I understand. As I said, I don't want that to come across as don't like, don't subscribe. As I said, if you feel like you are not getting your worth out of the Patreon right now,

then maybe it is best. Because we are going to get back at it. We're going to try to make that as soon as possible. But just understand that we actually do need time to kind of reshuffle some things and what what sucks about this too is just like we're not necessarily that similar to a lot of other channels because a lot of other channels will push through and and we'll just upload twice a month right yeah so well there so there's two there's different types there's there's channels that release constant content and then there's channels that release stuff here and there where

when we started we were constant and then as we got further into this we wanted to become a channel that releases more here and there uh for ourselves um and uh basically it's like i don't ever want people to think that we don't care and what we're doing is out of laziness and just not caring because like in our past you know this is not even laziness just i think a lot of people do see it as a of us like turning our nose up and like going around and going like to movies every night and buying expensive dinners and going out and partying all the time. I'm guessing some people probably do have that misconception. Right, right.

And, you know, also like when you only see things from the outside, you can fit things to whatever narrative you want to fit them to. That's a New York partying. I was doing a fucking concert. No, no, no. That was anxiety-inducing. And I'm not trying, that is a straw man. Did people say that?

Huh? No, that was just me being like saying as I was. I've tried, with all this recent shit we've been going through, I've tried to limit what I read just because I don't need that right now. But like we genuinely care and we want to like, in our past we have, every year we want to, like, in our past, we have, every year we have periods where we don't post as much,

and, you know, people sound the Zoom stay bells. Super Megas over party alarm. You know, it's like, oh, they fell off, they don't care. They fell off, they suck, they don't care, they're not funny anymore.

We're just like, that might be true. We're not ever going to, like I said, we're not going might be true so we're we're doing like we just we're not ever going to like i said we're not going to force ourselves to make more content than we feel up for making um it is our job isn't to force a smile yeah our job is to hopefully like fucking what what i want it to be is to make stuff that I'm proud of in a comfortable environment. And sometimes the motivation is just not there. And people, what they get mad about is they say, yeah, but you're getting this much money to do this.

And it's like, yeah, that's true. And the support is unbelievable. And circling back to what you're saying is like if you are a fan of us, but you feel like, you know, it's not uh like your money is not you don't want to that's okay right now we're in a phase where it's just uh tough uh and we fucking love you guys so much and we we see the sentiment and understand what you're we're grateful for the support we're not expecting it i don't expect people to be supporting the Patreon. I don't think that it's like...

We'll have a much stronger period in the future. And you know, in the future, there will be more relaxed periods. That's how we've always been. There's periods of a lot of stuff. There's periods of a little bit of stuff. There's periods of a lot of stuff. That's how we are. It doesn't mean we're fucking falling off every time or we're abandoning or just growing out of it.

Just because we're not doing two Let's Plays a day or Let's or or even there's having a tier list video or a mail video every week there's full there's full weeks where we don't upload and and i understand as a fan why that's frustrating i totally do um and that's why we're saying it's like we don't because of that the support is not expected we're not entitled to that support yeah we that being said we unbelievably appreciate it like i i don't i almost don't understand it like you guys are the nicest fucking crowd of people i've ever seen um and funny and handsome and hot god and and you know if you're 18 and above or if you're under 18 maybe you just live in a really hot part of the world yeah and you're taught and you're also a really cool person right you're you're a decent human being and you're under 18 maybe you just live in a really hot part of the world yeah and you're taught and you're also a really cool person right you're you're a decent human being and you're

probably funny too yeah and uh probably sometimes some of them can be funny some of the other ones they really try really hard yeah they really try really hard and then it turns into just kind of like obnoxious bullying and twitch chat and where it's just like that's another thing is like fucking classic meme where it's like Matt Watson's gonna start streaming again and then this fucking all of this fucking shit that happened recently happened right the fucking week I started streaming

and I'm like no no no no please and I just haven't had the motivation to stream I'm not gonna make excuses I haven't had the motivation to stream let's see the last time I streamed for me it's been over 10 days I've been occupied I'm still gonna keep streaming I'm not gonna like make excuses. I haven't had the motivation to stream. Let's see the last time I streamed. For me it's been over 10 days. I've been occupied. I'm still gonna keep streaming. I'm just- I'm sorry. And it stresses me the fuck out knowing this. My last one was six days ago. The most anxiety I feel, like the biggest cause of anxiety in my life other than like-

Like the biggest cause of anxiety for me is when SuperMega isn't what I want it to be. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is. And when SuperMega is not what we want it to be in time when we look at the channel like i feel disappointment when it's like this like i feel ashamed when i look at the channel and i'm like our peers probably think the same thing ryan and i like we're just not feeling good about it we don't have the motivation and uh it's like it's like i that gives me so much fucking anxiety and then we we always pull ourselves out of it i think there was also and i'm not trying to point any blame and fingers but

we there was that bastard there was a point where we were working really hard on the book and we released it and at the same time we released the book for some reason on a lot of different social media there was just an overwhelming negative response, not to the book, but just in general. To us. It just kind of came out of nowhere. And we felt really good about the last few weeks because we've been working so hard on the book.

Especially just all that we had released that year. Yeah, sometimes we had to take, or sometimes we took breaks in between, but just all the shit that we did that year. Go check out the year in review video if you're interested it's a lot it's a good bit i think i had a lot of fun last year well i kind of i kind of convinced myself we hadn't done shit last year just after reading a lot of comments but then editing the year review i was like oh we did a lot this year yeah uh so i i mean so like i gotta not let comments like that's obviously one of the biggest things and then when we released the book and we're like proud of this

and like yes it's oh they're really proud of this Captain Underpants look at the same you can say that and I'm not saying this is something that I'm like is my magnum opus that I like poured all of my heart and soul and being into but it's something that Matt and I had a lot of fun doing

we took time and energy and being into but it's something that matt and i had a lot of fun doing we took time and energy and effort into like consistently working on that's that's the most fun project i've ever worked on with you i think yeah i love that book like i and i i can't wait to do another one absolutely i cannot wait we have we have some ideas for it but it's like you know it's uh you don't have to it was just it was just kind of rough of being excited about the channel, being, being. It's demoralizing, yeah. Being excited and then. And then seeing hundreds of people like, just like, oh, they don't give a fuck.

They fell off. They don't work hard. And it's like, you're more than welcome. I don't really like their, like this or vlog. I don't really give a shit about the book. It's like, okay, but it's one of those things where it's like we still put in work to do all that stuff and then it just seems a passion project it seems yes like the book can be a throwaway gag from an outside point of view of like oh wow the super mega wrote a book and like it's funny it's cool it's funny and we're glad people are supporting

it but it did take a lot of time to write all those words and to go back and try to make sure that the story was somewhat. Because we also, we wanted it to actually be a good story. Well, we wanted it to be an entertaining story. It's stupid. It's stupid. It's stupid as fuck. It's an end man.

We still wanted it like for our own personal sake. Like we didn't just want to throw shit on the paper. Like we actually wanted us ourselves to feel like competent and like, like we're like, this is stupid as fuck. But it's, it's like in our opinion, it made us we we enjoyed making it and like i feel confident about it making each other laugh was the best thing because it's like it would it the the reason the book was so fun and people claim that they can see who wrote what section i don't really i don't think they can i'm gonna be honest i don't't because like the way you and I would

write it you wrote though you wrote the fourth and final shower scene I just want to throw that I was getting cereal or something I came back and I read it and I was like oh my god Jesus Christ let me feel physically uncomfortable but thanks for giving me the credit I'll give you the credit for the the monologue the Matt Watson looking into the blue uh the blue sky i remind him of his my sister actually uh went through and and revised that one pretty heavily yeah uh your monologue though at the end you're you're like multiple multiple page monologue before we do the big thing you wrote that ezekiel uh yeah i yeah yeah yeah not Tarantino

but yeah and again that's not like these fan interactions that's not the driving force and the big complain and the excuse of why all this it's just like all of this stuff is kind of built up and it's unfortunately exploded in our faces and

we're just dealing with that backlash as well as some stuff for the business we're babies and and yeah and words get to us uh yeah like everyone right sticks and stones yeah sticks and stones honestly uh and at the same time it's like you know you're like oh shut up like you guys stop complaining i get that too uh but also since the beginning we've always said we're gonna be real with you so we're not like every creator has you know uh to a degree you know all this all this type of shit to to bitch about and like we just you know it's our podcast we're gonna we're talking as friends to each other we're talking as people to you we're

gonna be real we're not gonna fucking sugarcoat it and like try like we're just always gonna talk about how we feel so it's like if you don't want to listen to us playing totally cool uh but like that we're just we're always going to be open and you know not like not be ourselves so if it's how we're feeling and what's on our mind we'll talk about it bitches be complaining you know yeah man bitches bitches be complaining and bitches be shopping you want to go spend some money yeah let's go spend some money spend a bunch of all right i'll see you guys next week.
