Welcome to episode 293 of the Super Megacast. Damn. Let's just start out by talking about the elephant in the room.
Starting point is 00:01:25 And that is that we have a guest today. We have Oxel, all the way from Estonia. Hello. Welcome to the podcast, brother. I flew in specifically for this. Yeah. So I'm really glad to be here. Did you really?
Starting point is 00:01:34 No. Oh, come on. Usually we pay for people. We didn't have to this time. You gotta make us feel good or something. I mean, if you pay for my flight, we can redo that. Hey, maybe next time. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Next time I come through, it better be paid. If you're lucky, you know. But yeah, we've got this wonderful Estonian boy right here. That's me. It's our first time meeting this week. It's Ryan. First time meeting in general. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:01:58 We met on Epic S&P once very briefly. But I mean. Do you remember that? Do we meet over? Like, do you meet over Minecraft or? No, real relationships are real over my yeah for real i honestly think a minecraft relationship is in this current day and age kind of holds more weight than a real life relationship especially with all this metaverse bullshit i think so too you know yeah it's like like that it's kind of ahead of the curve because there's going to be every relationship one day is going
Starting point is 00:02:24 to be just through the metaverse. If you're on a successful SMP together, that's way better than like a marriage. I would say 100 percent. There's more intimacy involved with building like your first Minecraft home. Exactly. Instead of like buying one in real life, getting a fucking mortgage. Exactly. No one wants to do that.
Starting point is 00:02:40 Going mining together. Mining together. I accidentally put the torches on the left side instead of the right side now we're lost together you know those those moments yeah it builds character it builds camaraderie can't get those in real life yeah no that that actually that minecraft method changed my life the one you taught me about putting the torches on the right what is that i'm not familiar with it's awesome i don't know why i never thought of you just put the torches on the right whenever you're going down a place you haven't been and so so if you ever need to find the way out, you just follow them on the left. Oh.
Starting point is 00:03:08 Because then they'll always be on the left. So you know which way you came from. Wow. Because I would just throw torches nilly willy everywhere. Oh, yeah. I'd be like, fuck this. And then I'd be like, which way is out? It's all over the place.
Starting point is 00:03:17 Wow. So. That's really smart. Yeah. Just taught you something. And you stream Minecraft, don't you? Well, sometimes. I'm more of like a variety guy
Starting point is 00:03:25 at this point but good that's probably the best way to keep because some people get trapped in like one game oh yeah people just fall off nobody cares when they do anything else if you do anything other than like that game people don't want to you know be there see my problem is i can't do games because nobody like i just have to sit there and talk and like give people my personality because as soon as i put on a game, they're like, oh, fuck this. I don't care. I don't want to watch this shit. And I suck at all games.
Starting point is 00:03:49 So I don't like playing them that much on stream. Except Minecraft is fun. But people still find a way to tell me I suck at that. I do need to eat more when I play it. But, you know. Do you just binge and then forget like everything else in your life? Yes. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:04:06 Yeah. That's me too. Yeah. Well, I know my character needs to eat more in the game. Not like me. Well, I, I also need to eat more. You've been doing better with your appetite. I have.
Starting point is 00:04:14 Yeah. I got some medication to make me a real hungry, hungry hippo. And I've been scarfing. You ate your full bowl of chicken and rice. Yeah. And, uh. Nice. No, there's still a little left actually.
Starting point is 00:04:22 You son of a bitch. Well, I'm going to finish it after the podcast. Motherfucker. I'm, I'm, you know, it's like if I eat it all at once, my tummy hurts. It's better to have smaller meals throughout the day, whatever. Yeah, just split it up. I'm not doing big meals throughout the day. Whatever they're going to say in 10 years, who knows?
Starting point is 00:04:35 Yeah. I'm just slowly, you know, spreading it. But yeah, I had a sleepover with Oxel on Saturday night. How'd that go? Any pillow fights? Oh, a lot of pillow fights. Some kisses. A little tickle.
Starting point is 00:04:47 Well, we don't need to get into that. Well, did the tickles lead to the kiss? Yes. Sometimes the kissing leads to the tickles. Let's leave it at the tickles. It's not going any further. But yeah, we had a sleepover. It was me, Oxel, Minx.
Starting point is 00:05:00 And Emma Langevin. Yes. Yeah. Interesting mix of people. Very random. Yeah yeah really random and uh minx and i sparred okay we went upstairs and uh s fan was there and he was did you kick your ass this is like a fucking made-up story no yeah no this is real like s fan and uh slicker were there and and they were just sitting watching and they were kind of the refs and minx and i
Starting point is 00:05:20 had no mouth guards yeah it was 12s I have an eight minute video of it. I recorded some of it. Yeah. I have a video of it too. You used what ounce gloves? 12. Nice. And we went and yeah, I have a, it's the first time I've sparred with someone that has like
Starting point is 00:05:35 a lesser reach than me because everyone I spar with has the same reach. So they kind of put it a little into perspective and dad better be worried because I'll tell you something. Did he, did he, did he come out with a second disc track? he says he's going to but i don't check his stuff so i don't know yeah the only time i see him is when he's blowing up my mentions for some clout but other than that you know well he's very honest about that on the last podcast too i appreciate the honesty i appreciate the honesty but yeah you know uh you better watch out i just want a month away i just want to say you guys look fucking amazing thank you
Starting point is 00:06:05 thank you that's very sweet I walked into this house and I was like I've been wearing the same clothes for like three days since the sleepover we went to the laugh factory
Starting point is 00:06:13 and saw Dane Cook and you were wearing that yeah exactly and then now I'm here and you guys are like at the fucking peak of your lives meanwhile I'm like I'm like a homeless man right now
Starting point is 00:06:21 navigating LA going from place to place you look very nice, though. Thank you. Thank you. I appreciate that. It's a good fit. I would never know you've been wearing that for three days straight.
Starting point is 00:06:29 Yeah. I did shower at one point, just adding that in. I did shower last night. It doesn't smell like you've been wearing it for three days straight. Don't get too close. Okay. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:06:38 Yeah. I'll try not to. It's going to be a little bit hard. It's a little tempting. You're a handsome man. There's a lot of sexual tension in this room. We'll get that out. Quite a bit. Yeah. After the podcast, There's a lot of sexual tension in this room. We'll get that out. Quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:06:46 Yeah, after the podcast, we can maybe see what we can do about that. We'll squeeze the lemon. Yeah, we'll squeeze the lemon a little bit. We'll juice it. Some behind the scenes. A little Patreon video, you know? Oh, dude. I got to get a Patreon.
Starting point is 00:06:57 You guys kill it on that shit, don't you? I know. Yeah. But then you have a bunch of people that are really angry at you because you're like, any second you don't post a video. Yeah. Like they got you. The tides shift quickly.
Starting point is 00:07:10 I've noticed if we if we stop posting for a while, people do get very upset. But for the people that are paying, I understand. Yeah. But like you should get on Patreon. It's a it's a fun little platform. I got an email from them once and I left it on read. So that was your, they're going to hold that grudge now.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Yeah. Like I was thinking like, is it weird if I respond like a year and a half later, I'm like, Hey guys, no, they're, they're,
Starting point is 00:07:31 they're probably begging. They're just like, they're, they're, they're checking. They're like, DMs waiting for a response. Has he seen it?
Starting point is 00:07:39 Like, is he, they're begging for you, man. If you got on there, uh, I mean, they need it as a company because they're doing financially
Starting point is 00:07:45 horribly. Yeah. You know, in the gutter, they don't know how to run a company. I'll say that. They also don't know how to make a mobile app. Nope. And they really don't know how to do like they've been super like transparent with trying to like give us like all like these special.
Starting point is 00:07:59 They've been amazing. Patreon has been probably the best company I think we've ever worked with in terms of platforms because they're really transparent with us. They let us beta test a lot of shit like ahead of time because basically Patreon used to go through Vimeo. I think it still does. Cold Ones actually had this whole issue and it was a big thing. But Vimeo hit us up and was like, hey, you're using too much bandwidth of our website. You need to pay us. And we were like, what?
Starting point is 00:08:29 When we signed up for Patreon and you upload through Vimeo, like we were never told that there was like a bandwidth limit or something. And we don't upload that often. No. It was like we would do like a Q&A once a month. They wanted like thousands of dollars. And we were like, what? Because they saw the traction that we bring to their site. And then Patreon
Starting point is 00:08:48 was like, well, we can let you guys beta test our new in-house video uploader. And I was like, okay. Is that out now? I think it's out. For people? Because Cold Ones had a huge problem. For some reason, I have a strange memory of an email like, hey, don't mention this, but
Starting point is 00:09:03 we are working on this and we're going to give this to you guys. Well, they can see it now. Okay. When you go and watch it on Patreon, it doesn't link to Vimeo. Wow. But yeah, I didn't know we were using that much bandwidth. You're very popular, you boys. Yeah, I know.
Starting point is 00:09:18 What can I say? See, this is one of those moments for me where right now I'm sitting. Because I used to watch you guys a little bit. Really? Yeah, yeah, like for years. Like I, when you guys, I remember when you guys uploaded the Club Penguin video. Oh my God. So like back in 2016?
Starting point is 00:09:32 Yeah, yeah, back then. Oh shit, like the opening, the opening years. No fucking way, dude. Yeah, even prior to that, like I'd seen you guys around a little bit. Did you watch the Markiplier? Yes, I was a little Markiplier. You liked the Freddy Fazbear video? Yes, yeah.
Starting point is 00:09:44 Did you watch the Freddy Fazbear compilations? No, I didn't watch those. With all the crazy text edits and stuff? I was really into Markiplier when he was growing at a really fast pace, so every month he would upload a new video of him crying. Were you there for Cinderplier week? That's only when he had like 50,000. Oh, I don't think I was there for that.
Starting point is 00:10:00 I'm not that much of an OG. Now, did you watch Cinderplier t-shirt? Classics like the whisper challenge or a Homer Simpson dough do you remember his team edge phase oh my god like I feel like I if you showed me all of these you'd probably like send me down a spiral well we're kind of experts on Markiplier
Starting point is 00:10:18 yeah we know we know a thing or two about the subject so are you excited for Markiplier goes to space is that real I drove past the markiplier billboard uh last week oh my god i was driving and i look up and i see markiplier like diving in like the markiplier 30 foot version of them where its eyes and mouth were gigantic like like blown up like in the youtube thumbnails and i was like no fucking way i miss there's markiplier on a fucking billboard it's right by where
Starting point is 00:10:45 we used to live too I miss movies where it was like Attack of the 40 foot praying mantis where it was just like big regular things just huge
Starting point is 00:10:53 attacking a city because it's so simple it's like a drive-in movie it would be really scary if this spider was big but now you know what would be scary Markiplier
Starting point is 00:11:04 the attack of the 30 foot Markiplier it would be terrifying he terrorized know what would be scary? Markiplier. The attack of the 30-foot Markiplier. That would be terrifying. He terrorized the community. That would be scary. Like in a kaiju movie where it's big Markiplier versus big, like, Freddy Fazbear characters. Ooh. How tall is he? Tiny box Tim, but he's big box Tim.
Starting point is 00:11:16 He's big box Tim, yeah. He's tremendous box Tim. How tall is he in real life? Is he a tall guy? I think, what, 4'9"? Yes. 4'9". Yeah. So he's... four nine yes four nine yeah so he's no maybe four eight well no it's hard to tell because like he does boost up a bit when he wears his uh
Starting point is 00:11:32 platform sketchers well he's always wearing those so actually i don't know if i've ever seen him without him so i don't know what's so funny no this is yeah this is honestly the only reason i came here was so i could like like, expand my Market Player trivia. Yeah, well, now you know. You came to the right place. Now I know. 4-9 King. Nothing wrong with it.
Starting point is 00:11:51 Well, I've never, we've never seen them without the Skechers, the platform Skechers, so. Could be shorter. It's possible. They do add a couple inches, and they do light up. Oh, that's cool. Never taken them off. Do you have to charge those, the light-up shoes? No, no. They use some kind of, like, battery that just lasts forever.
Starting point is 00:12:02 Because when you think about what it's doing, it's putting out just such a small amount of electricity it's just lighting up a little light bulbs last years and some people just leave them on all the time yeah you could just let it fucking go three lights actually four lights in my kitchen went out all last week and i was like you know i like when they all go out kind of around the same time that happened at my house where like the kitchen then my room then the bathroom well yeah that and my stairs that happened all within the same week. And I was like, okay, there's either an electrical issue or these bulbs are all just reliable and have about the same lifespan.
Starting point is 00:12:32 Life span. Yeah. Yeah. You said it. I said it right, yeah. But, you know, enough about light bulbs. We've got to talk about something insane. What?
Starting point is 00:12:42 We saw a little someone. Dane Cook? We did. You mentioned it earlier we did i'm not i can't let that slide that was you laughed your ass off i saw the tweet about it about you it was a great time big belly filled with giggles oh yeah did you chortle yes i was almost on the floor at one point i had a chuckle sandwich i'll tell you what it was insane it was incredible knee slappers all around it was just act after act was just like top comedy but actually how do you think as his comedy is it the same or has he aged his comedy has aged with him has he changed his style of comedy is it still
Starting point is 00:13:16 him like walking around erratically like yelling into the it aged about as fast as his girlfriend i'd say and um there were jokes, no, he made jokes about it. He made jokes about how she wasn't born when he was her age and stuff. See, the thing for me was I had no idea who Dane Cook was prior to us going to the Laugh Factory. I had no idea. I was going to the Laugh Factory. I was just going, and I had no idea who was performing. And this guy gets up there.
Starting point is 00:13:39 He does a set. We watch it, okay? And then all of a sudden, they're like, ladies and gentlemen, Dane Cook! And I looked at him, and I was like, no fucking way. No. What? set we watch it okay and then all of a sudden they're like ladies and gentlemen dang cook and i i looked at him and i was like no fucking way no what if only you heard jeff dunham that would have been the only thing hi i really wanted like joe rogan to walk up at one point like that would have been pictures of him there yeah yeah yeah but he doesn't live here anymore he went to fucking what nashville yeah austin austin yeah that's where we're all going what a chad i know what
Starting point is 00:14:04 a fucking ch, dude. For real. I can't believe he walked out, though. Because somebody before the show told me, was like, yeah, Dane Cook performs there pretty often. I'm like, I don't know who that is. I looked him up and he was on Planes, the movie. Cars, but Planes. That's how you know Dane Cook.
Starting point is 00:14:17 Yeah. And that's how they introduced him. See, I remember him from his Comedy Central specials where he had, like, the circular stage where he just got to walk around. And he would yell. Yeah. Really loud. Did you have some kind of scandal? I was fucking this girl with my big cock.
Starting point is 00:14:31 Yeah. That was a stand up. Dan Cook is the market player of comedy. Don't. Don't do that to my man. What the market? Don't give him. Don't give him such high praise.
Starting point is 00:14:40 People are going to. Okay. Sorry. But. Well, I actually would say that Ted Nib Nivison is the Dan Cook of YouTube. Okay. You know, they give off the similar vibes. Oh, I mean, he's at Coachella right now.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Dan Cook? Ted Nivison. Oh, Ted Nivision. I saw pictures of him and his girlfriend at Coachella. Yeah, Ted Nivision was there. Or I guess he's there right now. You guys ever gone to Coachella? Well, I had the opportunity to go yesterday yesterday but didn't end up panning out went
Starting point is 00:15:05 to like some like shitty little influencer type party things where one was like a crypto nft thing and i didn't know yeah because the friend i went with test she knew uh the chef that was catering the event so the chef invited her. Chef's got plus ones. Well, he had like plus 10. It seems like the party needed it. It wasn't there. There were not that many people there.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Yeah, but it was, it was really good food. Fantastic. And then the next place we went to, Oh, I have to mention there's a big bowl of caviar. People were just just scooping big spoonfuls of caviar straight into their mouth
Starting point is 00:15:46 yeah they didn't even use like a plate they just dipped like the spoon in and well they were they just were in the mood for caviar and there was a bowl of caviar up at the buffet that people could use a spoon and like put it on their shit they just brought the caviar they just went up to the buffet
Starting point is 00:16:02 table since it was kind of closing down brought the caviar bowl sat on the table and all buffet table since it was kind of closing down, brought the caviar bowl, sat it on the table, and all of them. Some people would come in every now and then just like, ooh, let me get a spoonful of that. How was it? That's so stupid. Did you like it? Huh?
Starting point is 00:16:13 Did you like it? Do I like caviar or the event? Caviar's fine. It's not like something that I think when I eat, I'm like, oh, this changes my life. I don't know if I've ever actually had real caviar. I've had like the fish eggs, but that's not caviar. Well, caviar is fish eggs. What is caviar? Fish eggs. I thought't know if I've ever actually had real caviar. I've had like the like like the fish eggs but that's not caviar. Well caviar is fish eggs.
Starting point is 00:16:27 What is caviar? Fish eggs. I thought it was fish eggs. But I've had fish eggs. Smaller. But I've had, is caviar what's like the real tiny? The real tiny and black. No I have not had that then. At least these ones were black. Yeah I've had the orange ones. Maybe they were navy blue. I just you know sometimes the shades. Does it actually taste good in your opinion? It tastes like
Starting point is 00:16:44 roe which is just the fish eggs. Yeah you ever had like the orange yeah yeah like that very similar very fishy very i guess it tastes like a bit of the ocean yeah nice nice some people that sushi we had in japan is still the top probably anything i've ever eaten yeah texture of that fish the flavor it was fuck man I want to go to Japan so bad. Have you ever been? No. They don't have Japan in Estonia. I've been three times.
Starting point is 00:17:11 You have been three times. You lucky girl. You, me, Aaron, Susie, Gab, and you, me, fucker brothers, and that was it. No, you went three times. then what was the other time wait did we go with aaron again no you've only been twice then i thought i've been three times i did two casually forgetting how many times you've been i've i posted every time i go you never
Starting point is 00:17:39 went well i had plans to go right before covid hit. And I had reservations to go to the Miyazaki Museum and all this shit. But, oh, well. Hold up. Has it really been only two times? I'll check. Hold up. I was going to go, too, and then COVID. Only two times.
Starting point is 00:17:58 It's always COVID. COVID fucks everything up. Yeah, it does. Yeah. This is my first time in this country in like two and a half years really yeah because i couldn't for two years since your first time in la was it hard you you love you love you love it here right oh dude i'm not gonna lie i actually kind of do like i came here la specifically or just like i just love like i don't know if i could live in la but i love how degenerate the
Starting point is 00:18:21 lifestyle here is yeah degenerate it's like like the fucking huge mansion that Matt and I were in. I was just sitting there. I was like, what the fuck is this? It's like I thought I was walking up to an office building and then I was like, oh, this is a house. Yeah. It was an elevator. It's where Minks and those other streamers live.
Starting point is 00:18:36 Yeah. Like the chess players. The chess players, yeah. It's Alexandria and her sister, right? Oh, yeah. Alexandra and Andrea Botez, yeah. Alexandra, yes. Yeah. Alexandra. Yes.
Starting point is 00:18:46 Yeah. We all went to Dane Cook. Fantastic time. Amazing. Did everyone laugh? Yes. Okay. It's a laugh factory, of course.
Starting point is 00:18:53 As long as it... Well, I don't know. There's been a few events there where some laughs might have been stifled or it might have been... What are you talking about? I laughed. I laughed. I had a good time yeah i mean michael richards knows how to turn a crowd he does that's one thing he's good he knows
Starting point is 00:19:10 how to work a crowd you know his crowd works pretty good have you seen the classic michael richards yes yeah stand up it what do you think about it that's his best bit i'm i've just always been really curious as to like what the fuck happened like how do you reach that point where you're like you're drunk you're a racist and you get angry. And then you project that anger because you think you have power over everyone in the room because you're the famous one. You think you can get away with saying anything and you think everyone's going to be on your side.
Starting point is 00:19:37 And then when that doesn't work and you can't hide behind the guise of it being a joke and everyone starts leaving and calling you out, then your career is just ruined. I thought his Letterman apology was pretty good. I have seen that one. Wasn't Jerry on it? Stop laughing! This is serious! Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:55 He had an oopsie. Okay? But I imagine that must have been a really weird cultural moment because Kramer is a fun character. Funny, silly guy. Kramer would never use hate speech. Well, that's what we thought he's the wild card huh that's true that's true and honestly he was just he was being zany like Kramer Kramer's zany
Starting point is 00:20:13 is what micro witches did that night not zany a little bit it's a little zany it's a little bit it's a little bit goofy it's a little it's a little bit out there so that's what he's known for and uh well i don't think he had much of a career let like i don't think he was gonna go do movies or anything i know well being in our book that's one thing but yeah huge career boost for him i gotta read that
Starting point is 00:20:34 i gotta take a look at your book we have copies here right can i get a sign how many copies do we have here 20 something okay 30 good good, good, good. 30 something? We have enough. Because Leighton needs to send out some of those. He does, and he also needs to stop using them for personal use, because he hasn't even finished reading it, but he keeps taking copies home. He keeps saying he's reading it? He's like, I'm still reading it. Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Starting point is 00:20:57 It came out over half a year ago. Do you want to bring him in and see how far he is? Let's quiz him. Yeah, let's see how far he is in the book. I'd be still reading it.

Starting point is 00:23:05 It's only been out a little over six months. And you keep saying whenever we ask that you're reading, you are actively reading it. Have you taken a break? No, I've been listening to the audiobook. So how far are you in the audiobook? Are you listening at.5 speed?
Starting point is 00:23:21 .25 speed? No, I was listening to the regular. But that's a good question, Ryan. Matt, what was your question? How far are you? How far into the audiobook are you? What just happened? Well, now it's been a minute since I listened. So you're not still listening?
Starting point is 00:23:38 Well, no. I explained to you guys last time that it is like, I really enjoy listening to it and Gino. So whenever I do it, I try to do it when I'm working or something but then I can't pay attention to the book so he just doesn't work a lot is that what you're saying no I just that's why I haven't listened to it so like my I listened to
Starting point is 00:23:53 like two hours of it the first time really high on my couch just with the lights off I just laid on my couch and just listened to it and I loved it okay two hours two hours that's we can check the time stamp on that. That's halfway through the book, Leighton. What's going on right now in the book?
Starting point is 00:24:08 Yeah. I remember that you guys had just met Michael Richards. That's where he was last time. Wait, no, you didn't meet him. He steps in at the end of the chapter. The next chapter is my favorite chapter in the book, and you haven't even read it. Is 13 Trouble in Tokyoo uh is that 12 no but he's 13 trouble in tokyo 12 is i think 11 is the
Starting point is 00:24:32 sad clown 11 so you've gone through chapter 10 my friends here that i'm the one that you've read through chapter you realize the chapters are like sometimes like four pages right i don't read there's 25 chapters you're on you're on chapter 10 i don't read books. Blayton, there's 25 chapters. You're on chapter 10. I work for Super Meg. I don't read books. It would be like if we tasked you with reading Captain Underpants. One Captain Underpants novel. You know who has read the book? Are you really tasking me with that?
Starting point is 00:24:55 No. No, I would. Unless you want. I mean, they're good books. I don't like to read. You know who has read the book, unprompted, on Asked Who, Jim. Oh, wow. That's because he was begging for a job. Thanks. I love, unasked to? Jim. Oh, wow. That's because he was begging for a job. Thanks. I love Jim, too.
Starting point is 00:25:08 Jim's great. Jim's great. Our decision to hire him had nothing to do with the fact if he had read our book or not. And your current status of employment definitely doesn't, you know, involve whether you've read the book or not as well. We're just checking. What's your favorite part so far? What made you laugh the most? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:25:25 Originally, it was you smacking against the side of the submarine the clip that's on youtube the clip the clip that you can publicly find yeah oh my god the one clip from the audiobook that's publicly available um in fact the only really there's multiple parts i mean it was just yeah multiple parts that were funny did you ever do you ever Do you ever think that building this house of cards, this house of lies, will crumble one day? And you just need to give up and tell us the truth? Tell us the honest God-given truth that you're not interested in reading the book? You can just tell us you don't like the book. It's not your bag, man.
Starting point is 00:26:00 I swear it's my bag. I swear it's my bag. I swear on my job it's my bag. That's my's my bag. I swear on my job, it's my bag. That's my bag, baby. We got copies here if you want to read. I have three copies of it. Why do you have three copies? Did you pay for those?
Starting point is 00:26:14 Well, you have three copies and an audio book? Well, I paid for the, I bought the audio book. I have the hardback that you guys gave me. So you've wasted your money. You haven't even, we could have given it to you for free because you work for us, but that's fine. No, I paid for it. And well, that was your decision. You haven't even... We could have given it to you for free because you work for us, but that's fine. No, I paid for it. And... Well, that was your decision.
Starting point is 00:26:27 Yeah, it was. I fully intend on finishing it. Okay. If you keep going at this rate, you'll finish it probably halfway through 2023, maybe? Yeah. Well, wait, six months.
Starting point is 00:26:40 Six months, ten chapters. I'll be sure to want to go home and listen to... Another six. Well, remember, the last few chapters are long as hell. After being harassed by them today. I'll be, I'll be sure to want to go home. Yeah. Another, another, well, remember the last few chapters are long as hell. Yeah. Harassed by them today.
Starting point is 00:26:49 It'd be great. Yeah. Yeah. I'll go home and listen to it right now. I expect you to remember having homework in high school. Layton, you had to go home and you had to read something. By the way, the quizzes fill in the blank,
Starting point is 00:26:59 not multiple choice. So I hated that. Dude, that shit was, I'm like, come on, man. Isn't that the worst when you get a test
Starting point is 00:27:05 and all of a sudden you're like oh no there's no bullshitting my way out of this did your teachers ever like do a bonus question that's like who's the best science
Starting point is 00:27:13 teacher you've ever had uh huh kind of shit for extra credit I knew kids that just for funds would just leave it blank yeah
Starting point is 00:27:18 I would always write like Bill Nye the science guy or just anything that like I could to not give them that like. I needed the extra points. I needed all the points I could get.
Starting point is 00:27:28 I didn't want to give them that credit. I'd draw a little heart if I needed to. I'd be like, yes, you are the best. Are you a good student? I was good until like the seventh grade. They have school in Estonia? What happened in seventh grade? I was like, I'm a bad kid now.
Starting point is 00:27:40 You got into drugs? I drank a beer. I smoked a cigarette. Oh, no. And then that's my whole brain. Well, according to Keemstar, that should have mellowed you out. Oh, dude, that's such a good tweet. Well, it's good advice.
Starting point is 00:27:51 Yeah. I have like a whole like folder of like amazing Keemstar tweets. Like the Christmas dog one. Where he's like, I ran over a fucking... That one never gets old, dude. Every year on Christmas Eve, it's all I see all over my Twitter timeline. It's like, just hit a dog going 70 miles per hour on the freeway. And then the response, and then he replied to himself, and yes, it died.
Starting point is 00:28:09 It's like, dude. Of course it died. Goddamn. You're going 70. Well, Leighton, we're... I'm just really excited that my friend's in town, and then I thought I was coming on to talk about something funny, but it's about... The book's not funny? It's about the book.
Starting point is 00:28:23 The book's not funny? You've read it. The book's funny. Okay. But book's not funny? You've read it. The book's funny. Okay. But what parts are funny? Besides the public... Excluding the chapters you just read with the submarine. He should be past the submarine if he met Michael Richards. Wait, there's many... No, no, no. When he comes
Starting point is 00:28:37 in at the end, it is past the submarine. What's the whale's name? Big Richard. Okay. Well, that's also the name of the chapter, so easy. What's the name of Michael Richard's gun? Isn't it Little Richard? Okay. But he doesn't, I don't think he expresses that yet.
Starting point is 00:28:53 I just know that one. What's the name of the submarine? That's, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. I named it. That's the. Ryan named it, and I thought it was a placeholder and we just kept it no that's not the B member
Starting point is 00:29:08 not that that's the hospital that's the name of the memorial I don't think I remember the need to phone a friend you can phone Matt wasn't it like the SS shitballs or something shit pooper it literally was the dumbest fucking poop fart I love wait or was that the airline was
Starting point is 00:29:30 was airline fart airline fart I think one very mature stuff one of like the first things that really stood with me in the book that really made me laugh was uh when you guys get to the uh you pull up and you throw the keys at the valet and then spit on his shoes. Oh, they needed a good shine. That really made me laugh. And I missed a spot when I was walking out. I had to do it again. Or just,
Starting point is 00:29:53 uh, I mean, the shower scenes are some of the most uncomfortable bits too. Oh, you haven't gotten to the, to the half of it. You only, well,
Starting point is 00:30:01 he has, there's, there's been two shower scenes so far. Yes. Okay. So there's, there's two more. Is there only one at our house? In the beginning? No, there's two at the beginning of it well he has there's been two shower scenes so far yes okay so there's two more was there only one
Starting point is 00:30:06 at our house in the beginning no there's two at the beginning of the house right so then there's three because they're one
Starting point is 00:30:11 in the summary yeah no there's four I know there's four shower scenes this book is literally like doesn't it sound like they're just making shit
Starting point is 00:30:17 up off the top no yeah this doesn't sound real that's definitely not what we were doing we definitely weren't taking turns writing chapters
Starting point is 00:30:22 or paragraphs and just handing it to the next person to be like okay now you continue how long did it take you guys to write this book in total I'd say like almost three weeks but that's us like
Starting point is 00:30:34 everyday hours and hours and hours we weren't allowed to go into the office we wouldn't let anyone come in they're writing like poop jokes and shit but they're like do not come in here we need our concentration. We need our focus. Like, we need the vibe.
Starting point is 00:30:49 Like, in the writer's room, like, it's a sacred vibe. Like, it cannot be touched. When it came down to like the final bits of it, like, I would come into the office after like two days of not being allowed to come in. And there'd be like, the kitchen would have like so much takeout there. And then I'd walk into the actual office and there's paper all over the fucking floor. And there are big binders that are constantly changing all the draft notes like 50 Starbucks like it genuinely felt like the most real thing ever where I was like damn this is really right in a book and then it's like at the same time it's like it's this we could have done it slowly over a year but we wrote the first like 90 pages
Starting point is 00:31:21 over like a three-day weekend we took a little trip then we took like a six-month break and then we were like oh wait if we want this to come out this year then we have to get this done now yeah so we spent two weeks just just going so goddamn hard on weekends too right yeah we would come in here and we would we'd write probably like from like 2 p.m to like 5 a.m sometimes like we just fucking go all day and we we didn't we didn't have the full story structured before we started writing so we kind of had bullshitted as we went well of course I mean the book is very much a and then this happened and then this happened right no I think it's actually very well structured okay I think that I think it's got quite a good there's a good and then they get attacked by the Yakuza Yakuza Yakuza Williams
Starting point is 00:32:05 what I like about that chapter is there's some Japanese in it and uh cause like a Japanese man asks Ryan a question and it's just actually in Japanese or he asks both of us a question it's in Japanese but Gino Samuel speaks Japanese so he reads it just like so flawlessly
Starting point is 00:32:22 so it's like he's reading like the man looked at Ryan and said and then just goes into like this beautiful fluent Japanese and then like cuts right back into Gino's amazing gotta love him but uh yeah Leighton by Friday we're gonna give you a little pop quiz okay
Starting point is 00:32:38 yeah yeah that sounds good Leighton it's like what you're saying is true you have less than two hours left of the audio book it is true dude You have less than two hours left of the audiobook. It is true. Dude, if you listen to it on your drive to work, every day, you'll finish it. Just in the drive to work.
Starting point is 00:32:51 That's my commute thing. That's what I do. I'm not a music guy. I'm an audiobook listener. So you listen to other books? Of your friends. No, I'm joking. I'm joking.
Starting point is 00:33:00 I don't do that. Okay. I don't do that type of thing. No, it's not my thing. Like, respect, but I'm not into it. It makes me sound like a fucking idiot, but I don't do that I don't do that type of thing like respect but I'm not into it it makes me sound like a fucking idiot but I don't read books for pleasure
Starting point is 00:33:10 I don't really it has to take a very special read for me to keep going the last book that I was reading was the Percy Jackson series whenever I was in middle school and then the Dog the Bounty Hunter book. Well, this super mega thing is going to be a series.
Starting point is 00:33:28 It's going to be a trilogy. Yeah. That's the plan. Yeah. That's amazing. The next one's in the works and it's already pretty good. See, my problem with books is that I'll buy a book and then I already get like the accomplishment feeling where I'm like, I basically read this. Yep.
Starting point is 00:33:40 I do the same thing. Like I'll read like one chapter and feel so accomplished and then not touch it. Yeah. It'll sit on my shelf for like six years. And everybody's like, oh, you read this? I'm like, thing like I'll read like one chapter and feel so accomplished and then not touch it yeah it'll sit on my shelf for like six years and everybody's like oh you read this I'm like no I didn't fucking yeah but ours is a page turner at the end of every chapter you're like oh yeah it's a
Starting point is 00:33:54 knuckle clincher for sure it fucking like it's a knuckle dragger are you snapping your toes yeah oh yeah you are snapping your toes wow that's that's a thing that you're snapping your fingers. Wow, that's I was thinking that you were snapping your fingers. But it doesn't make a snap sound.
Starting point is 00:34:09 It was. It sounds like a snap. It's just kind of a thud. You're snapping the toes. I can't. There was like one or two of them that were pretty good. But if you didn't have the shoe on, I think that you would be able to do it. I don't think so. I disagree. I don't believe it. I'm would be able to do it. I don't think so. I
Starting point is 00:34:25 disagree. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I'm not even going to try it. I heard it. I'm not a monkey. I'm not going to dance for you, Layton. Not asking you. Now be a good little monkey and read the book. I will. I'm going to go home and listen to the book. Which, by the way, is it sold out again? No, there's hard packs

Starting point is 00:37:11 you know, upstart being shit. I'm kidding. Well, they got Leighton a great interest rate on his loan of 35%. That is true. Oh, my God. Oh, dude.
Starting point is 00:37:22 But he's like, he used our code and he's like, it's 35%. But it's also because Leighton just doesn't know how to handle his finances. Oh my God. But he's like, he used our code and he's like, it's 35%, but it's also because Layton just doesn't know how to handle his finances. But, um, what do you look to be a pattern in this company? Excuse me?
Starting point is 00:37:36 Yes, we, we are fully aware that we were not handling our finances correctly and have taken proper measures to make sure that that doesn't happen again. Right? Yes. I'm so proud of you boys. Thank you. You thank you you guys are doing a good job thanks you know you wanted to talk about my sexual experiences can i just talk about what happened between us when you when you left the
Starting point is 00:37:55 envy house i was literally laughing my ass off at it yesterday what happened between us when i left the envy house i this has never happened to me before, but we, Oh yeah. Dude, that's never happened to me either. Maybe with Ryan, like once. So basically you want to describe it? Um,
Starting point is 00:38:14 so he was about to leave and it was like a kind of, your Uber was outside. You were in a little bit of a rush and then we go in for a hug. And then like, we both like kind of try to put our heads the same way. And then we like both sway the other way. And then our heads just smashed together. And we kiss. We pretty much kissed. Our lips touched. And it was not even like it was just like there wasn't like a peck but our lips touched and then we both were just like oh see you dude
Starting point is 00:38:34 and that's never really happened to me as far as i can remember never happened to me and i'm really glad it happened with you because i think it's the best person no i'm glad it happened with you too it's just like i feel like whenever i go in for a hug and someone goes the same way there's like i've never fumbled the bag that bad i mean it takes two to tango but it was it was pretty uh it was a good kiss i was laughing i literally remembered it randomly last night and i just started laughing my ass off and then i got in the uber and then i realized i left my car keys fuck so i had to run up that big ass hill and grab my car keys oh my god you were already like driving yeah dude i had to run he wouldn't ass hill and grab my car keys. Oh my God. You were already like driving. Yeah, dude, I had to run. He wouldn't go back.
Starting point is 00:39:06 He's like, I gotta get my keys. And he's like, okay. And then I, he just like parked sideways and I just jogged up that fucking hill. That was right after I sparred with a, okay.
Starting point is 00:39:14 And I dubs. That was, that was also a fever dream because we were all like a little bit, you, you and Minx were really hung over. That shit hurt. I was just a little bit like foggy from like the night before. And all of a sudden I dz just pulls up at the house,
Starting point is 00:39:28 spars you and then leaves. Yeah. That's literally what happened. And he had armor on like he had his whole like diamond armor on. He had headgear, he had body armor and everything and a mouthguard I didn't. That's how I spar. My trainer just puts me up against a guy that always has headgear, always has body
Starting point is 00:39:44 armor. Do you not have a mouth guard? I have. Well, regardless, you need to have a mouth guard. Yeah. We just, cause this wasn't planned.
Starting point is 00:39:51 I didn't have one. He's like, that's all right. We can do it without it. Not all right. Yeah. Well, Anissa told me it's not even for binding your tongue.
Starting point is 00:39:58 It's to prevent concussions because when you get punched like an uppercut and your teeth do like that, you can get a concussion, break your teeth too. I think it's for many reasons yeah seems like a lot can go wrong yeah
Starting point is 00:40:09 I almost no I was gonna say I'd rather bite my tongue off than shatter my teeth but I think I teeth are replaceable tongue's not so yeah you wanna keep the tongue
Starting point is 00:40:16 I think when you go to Turkey do a vlog there and get brand new teeth okay oh I'll get a hair transplant you guys can get teeth I'll get a hair transplant
Starting point is 00:40:24 actually you have the thing on your head like the bleeding towel oh yeah how about this they specialize in three things brand new teeth. Okay. Oh, I'll get a hair transplant. You guys can get teeth. I'll get a hair transplant. Actually, I have a thing on your head, like the bleeding towel. Oh yeah. How about this? They specialize in three things, plastic surgery, dental implants,
Starting point is 00:40:31 and hair transplants. So I can get the teeth implant maybe? Because you already have really good teeth. All right. I don't think so. Your teeth are so straight. Did you ever have braces? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:42 Yeah. I never had braces. Do you look at the, see my snap? Yeah, but I don't wear my retainer anymore. So they're slowly, they're slowly.
Starting point is 00:40:49 Those are beautiful. Oh wow. You got a beautiful pair of chompers. They're so straight. I've started, I started doing that stupid, I don't know if it actually does anything. I started using charcoal toothpaste.
Starting point is 00:40:58 Oh, I use charcoal toothpaste. I've been using that a little bit. Okay. Okay. So I don't feel, we're all idiots. Okay,
Starting point is 00:41:03 good. No, but dude, if you don't properly clean your sink after using it, within like a week, your sink looks so disgusting. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:41:10 I wipe it down every time because I just don't want black tar-looking shit around my sink. Because you don't really notice with white toothpaste how much spray is out of your mouth while you're brushing and then when you spit
Starting point is 00:41:18 where it goes, but then you come back to my sink and it looks like some creature climbed out of there and left a trail. So you gotta close those chompers you can't know why i open then that's when it's yeah also i don't know what it's called what are those called like sometimes when you're at the dentist it activates where like it just like yeah that's gleeking gleeking okay yeah
Starting point is 00:41:39 that's where i knew a guy in high school who could do that purposely i knew a girl i was so jealous she would do it on me and I'd always be like, stop. He'd just go and do it. I'm like, what are you doing? I would kind of like fuck with him a little bit and then he'd do it in retaliation. But when you don't know how to do it, it's like a little blessing when it happens. You gleek all over your computer monitor. Oh, whatever it happens.
Starting point is 00:41:59 Like, oh, like I'm not like, oh, I mean, it's just like, it's it's some muscle you have that you just don't know how to activate you know those moments in movies were like let's say you accidentally fell into a vat of toxic waste and also you wake up the next morning and you go out for a walk and you get angry and you go oh you slam your fist down the sun lightning shoots out from it that's what happens when I glee that that is actually a really good description of it. That's the same feeling. It's like, whoa. Then you try to do it again and it doesn't work. No, no, no. Okay. I need to harness this power.
Starting point is 00:42:30 I need to learn its ways. It's the projection of saliva from the submandibular gland. Because I can feel the glands. Yeah, me too. It's on either side of whatever that line is that holds your tongue in place. Does it just like spray? Is it like a tube? You can inflate them too. Really?
Starting point is 00:42:46 Yeah you can feel it. Like if you can I don't know how to do it like suck like Is there like tutorials? And then suck in you can like I'm doing it right You can inflate those? I can't do that. I'm like trying that so hard. I don't think I can
Starting point is 00:43:00 It's right below your tongue. They're not here. No I know I'm just grabbing my throat because for some reason it makes me really uncomfortable. It's like they're flat right now and think I can. I don't think I can do that. It's right below your tongue. They're not here. No, I know. I'm just grabbing my throat because for some reason it makes me really uncomfortable. It's like they're flat right now and then I can just. Dude, yeah, no, it's. And you're just kind of puffed up little sacks. It's literally a. I feel a little bit. There's like a tube at the back of your tongue that's connected to the parotid gland.
Starting point is 00:43:18 Like, you know, if you like suck in like that. The hell? Create like a pocket. You should feel them go. We got all this crazy shit in our heads. I didn't even know about. The human body is complex. There's just shit everywhere.
Starting point is 00:43:30 Yeah, no. I was thinking about that last night. I was laying in bed and I was thinking about like right now within me, there are like so many systems that are going that are so intricate and complex and I have no idea like how it works. Like your immune system. I never really thought about how cool the immune system was until i started watching these videos about it by this uh youtube channel called a kers cassette i don't know how to say it they do the really good animated ones but they did a
Starting point is 00:43:52 bunch on the immune system and i was like dude it's like a computer it's like it's like insane how your immune system works like it actually like blows my mind when i think about it one time time someone on my Twitch chat told me that if your immune system knew that your eyes existed, they would kill your eyes. Because they would reject the eyes as, like, a foreign object. Oh, wow. Yeah, I don't know how true that is. Yeah, I love your immune system. Like, it sucks in that aspect, though, because it's like, you can't just, like, replace a body part that gets cut off because your body will just reject it. It's like, no, I'd rather stay without a leg.
Starting point is 00:44:25 That is so annoying. I know. That's fucking. But then some things can grow back, you know. Is there any part of the human body that's like besides hair that can regenerate fully? The liver. Nails. Nails are dead.
Starting point is 00:44:41 Nails are dead. So is hair. So I don't really count those. So you don't count hair and nails because they're by default. They're are dead. Nails are dead. So is hair. So I don't really count those. So you don't count hair and nails because they're by default? They're already dead. It's more of like a byproduct almost. But what about like, are there parts of your body that you can't get a finger back? I mean, your skin.
Starting point is 00:44:55 Your skin's a giant organ. That's true. Yeah, your skin regenerates. Actually, every single atom and molecule in you regenerates or some shit. Every cell regenerates. So like technically you're a different person. Your bones, they mend? They do. It's do like they just glue them back together when they break that is crazy do they just like fuse back together that's scary to think about man you got a whole operation inside of you i sometimes i get too high and then i'm like what if my heart just
Starting point is 00:45:17 stops beating right now dude that's the worst thing to think about which happens i've never thought of that to people who you wouldn't think it would happen to. It's fucking crazy. People that are fully healthy and in their 20s, just like the heart just skips. That literally happened to somebody that I knew. Like one night, just went to bed, didn't wake up. Jesus. That's insane. Like no history of heart problems. No history, nothing.
Starting point is 00:45:37 Nothing. Just a completely healthy. I think it was like 23. Fuck. That was it. That's awful. My grandma died from a heart attack. And what? fuck that was it that's awful my grandma died from a heart attack and uh what no i think it's funny too ryan but i just can't publicly say that okay
Starting point is 00:45:52 yeah but basically it like uh she passed away and um my family celebrated just kidding my family really mourned her loss it was tragic it was 2005 uh but i like life's like when daniel passed there was like a there there was the like funeral i guess aspect but i like when people do a celebration of the life which they had that separately like at a bar where it was just a bunch of people that was fun like a like live performing music and shit we played that same venue years later which was like a really weird it was it was like a coming full circle yeah yeah yeah but basically, she did have a heart attack. And I always think about heart attacks.
Starting point is 00:46:26 I'm like, what, what is a heart attack? Is it your heart just suddenly, it's just like, like it just starts compulsing or does it hurt? I'm sure it hurts. Well,
Starting point is 00:46:34 like your whole right side of your body, you smell burning toast. That's a toast. Yeah. Well, it's got to hurt because when people like, when people have panic attacks, they think they're having a heart attack,
Starting point is 00:46:43 right? Oh yeah. Yeah. Like the pressure on their chest and not being able to breathe my mom said my mom had a panic attack in her 20s and it was the first time she'd have one she thought she was having a heart attack because she said it's something like hurts so bad if like the room like was yeah smaller and she couldn't like stop it and she called an ambulance i think and just a panic attack just came out of nowhere wasn't even like prompted like she wasn't even that stressed it just happened that freaks me out
Starting point is 00:47:04 i'm scared of i'm scared of like just one day like what if i'm just driving i just have a panic attack and i can't like control it yeah the first time i had it i think i was like 14 i was genuinely like i'm gonna die that's it i've never had a full-blown panic attack but i've had like times where it's kind of felt close to it where like it was really hard to breathe and it hurt and like it felt like i couldn't get my thoughts like yeah like think and everything it felt like i dissociated like everything felt like i was watching it felt like I couldn't get my thoughts. I could like think. And everything, it felt like I dissociated. Like everything felt like I was watching it from like third person. My biggest one was in high school.
Starting point is 00:47:30 I think like I, there was nothing like, there was nothing I could think of. It might've been like late high school, early college time, but there was nothing I could think of that was causing me anxiety. But I just remember like waking up like, and like, I had this like kind of like pain and like the soreness in like my back right around here. i was like okay i feel kind of tight so i'm like i'm gonna go take a shower i just sat in the shower and all of a sudden like it started becoming more hard to breathe to where like my breath was sounded just like like i was trying to just like get in i was like also my chest started to hurt and i was like leaning over the toilet and also
Starting point is 00:48:03 like uh this is after the bath shower i gotta get out so i got like put also my chest started to hurt and I was like leaning over the toilet and also I'm like, uh, this is after the bath shower. I got to get out. So I got like put on my pajamas or whatever the fuck. And then my mom came in and like my stepdad and they were like, they didn't know what to do. And I'm just like, like trying to just, I'm like putting all my focus in trying to just breathe. Yeah. And my, my worry was like, what if, cause it was getting worse and worse. It's like, am I just going to stop breathing?
Starting point is 00:48:24 Yeah. Yeah. You're going to die. So so they took me to a to a heart doctor and their response was, we can't say exactly what it was because you weren't here when it was happening because we need you to be hooked up when it's happening. So it could have been a panic attack, heart arrhythmia, whatever the fuck. Well, I feel like I think it was I think it was a panic attack just because i haven't had like a consistent heart like issue or known heart problems kind of
Starting point is 00:48:49 self-fulfilling because like the more you can't breathe the more you start freaking out and then it just kind of it's an evil loop very evil yeah i i have heart palpitations a lot but like i'll just be lying in bed sometimes and also my heart sudden my heart starts beating so god damn hard and so fast and I'm like why is this happening like I'm not nervous or anything and there's nights where I haven't been able to sleep because my heart's beating so hard and they go it goes off rhythm when it's doing that it'll be like
Starting point is 00:49:16 they won't be consistent beats it'll be like that's scary kind of off rhythm but I looked up heart palpitations and said it's just very common yeah I get them every now and then and then i'm like oh also i think that what i've noticed is i mainly get them uh when i've taken adderall the same day and it's later in the day that starts happening so i'm assuming it's just because adderall is a stimulant on your central nervous system so you know that makes your heart go so probably just that or maybe i have some horrible
Starting point is 00:49:47 heart problem and i have no idea and i might just die my grandpa died in the toilet just like elvis yeah that's that's what i was gonna say he actually died on the toilet everyone knows that he died on the toilet so it's gotta be real i i think the thing with elvis was that because he was like a heroin addict they get really constipated and what happens in a lot of the cases, I think, is that they overpush. And then because their health is already in the gutter. Okay. Because that's basically what happened to my grandpa,
Starting point is 00:50:12 I think. He was in poor health, went on the toilet, was about to take a fat dump. Nice. Tried a little bit too hard. Strained too hard to pass out. Passed out, died.
Starting point is 00:50:20 Yeah, something like that. He was in the 90s, so I don't know. Oh, yeah. Well, because I imagine if you were to pass out from straining it'd be really easy to fall forward and depending on your bathroom if you hit your head hard enough with the full force of falling same like old people it's freaky that we're gonna be old one day because like i don't we don't realize how good our bodies are right now i've been thinking about that like even even like if you're like a heavy drinker or you're unhealthy or even if you smoke
Starting point is 00:50:45 it's like you don't realize how good you have it right now because one day it's gonna hurt just to stand up and it's like also like if you slip and fall in the shower like you're done like you break your hip and like your body's just like alright well that's let's pack it up guys so I'm trying to
Starting point is 00:51:00 lately I've been trying to be more appreciative of having working, knock on wood, working limbs, uh, because I was watching this onion video, uh, today.
Starting point is 00:51:11 Now they do these like new segments that are really fucking funny. Uh, I didn't, I didn't know you feel an all existential. Yeah. Yeah. No, it did because it had a guy come in and it was like showing you how to like wax floors,
Starting point is 00:51:21 but he was, he was like a paraplegic and he was like explaining the steps, how to do it. And like, he'll be like, and it's most important is you don't want to pack yourself into a corner where you might try to jump and slip and hit the back of your neck on the kitchen counter,
Starting point is 00:51:34 severing your third vertebrae. Now the net, and like, he just keeps doing that. And one of the lines he said was, he was like, he's like, you know,
Starting point is 00:51:39 and, uh, you really don't want to be lying there for hours and you don't want to blame your wife. And then, uh, And you really don't want to be lying there for hours and you don't want to blame your wife and then really just live in existential misery and really just not don't don't take the human body parts for granted that work that we take for granted every day as he's like waxing the floor. And it's fantastic. Onion's so fucking funny. Their old shit is so good.
Starting point is 00:52:02 Like their videos. Oh, yeah. old shit is so good like their videos oh yeah they had um they one of my favorites is they did they like news from the future where it was like they did this whole like 10 minute sketch where it's like the first news network to bring you news from the future and it's from like 2130 and it's it's it's like the biggest fever dream of a fucking like sketch comedy thing i've ever watched and my favorite part about it is like they just randomly like the news presenters just like maybe like two or three times just put fucking in there. So be like and now the next fucking segment and it just catches you so off guard. I've sworn on Estonian television before.
Starting point is 00:52:32 What? Yeah. Get arrested. I they threatened me, but they couldn't catch me. Did you really? Did you really? Until now? No.
Starting point is 00:52:41 What happened? What happened was like I wasn't even in the studio they because i made a video about like the estonian government made some like piece of shit video game that was definitely just like putting money in people's pockets yeah the video game concept itself was cool but like they apparently spent 500 grand on it and the progress for that was not there so i made a whole video about it and it kind of went a little bit viral and then like every news portal and like like this like daily news show played clips of the video and where I was just saying fucking,
Starting point is 00:53:07 fucking, fucking, and they didn't censor any of it. Well, did they know? No. Yeah, they knew definitely.
Starting point is 00:53:12 I think the guy though, cause they, they come up with shit. So last minute for that show that I think the editor was just like, Oh fuck it. I don't feel like that many people like in a non, like in a country that has a, it's,
Starting point is 00:53:24 it's prominent languages in english i don't know how many people get that pissed off like when i hear bloody or when i hear a wanker i don't get fucking is like very universal it is so yeah fuck actually is a very universal word it's also the only word i can think of that's like a noun an adjective a verb one of the best words it's great it's so very versatile i don't think they actually know the origin of it. But what always trips me out is when I see like transcripts or like old book passages from like 900. Where they still use it. And they said fucking in like the year 900.
Starting point is 00:53:52 And I was like, what? Like, I can't imagine someone saying fucking or fuck back in like 800, 900. You gotta be able to express yourself some way. Your anger. Your lust. Exactly. That word is a vessel for... excitement powerful things your happiness is fucking awesome this fucking sucks it's just it's it's just a vessel adds a layer to any emotion it does definitely it adds a layer and it and it it puts an emphasis in what
Starting point is 00:54:21 you're saying unlike any other word does. It makes people listen. Cause freaking don't do it. Freaking. Oh, freaking is coward shit. I actually, you freaking jerk. Come on.
Starting point is 00:54:33 Sorry. I remember I used to be scared to say freak. Really? Yeah. Well, I got yelled at a lot in school. Cause I'd say, what the freak?
Starting point is 00:54:40 And my teacher would be like, Hey, I know what you're thinking about saying. And that's no better. My, my dad got upset with me for saying about saying. And that's no better. My, my dad got upset with me for saying fudge. When I was a kid at one point, he wasn't like too bent out of shape about it,
Starting point is 00:54:50 but he was like, Hey, put you over the knee. I know what you mean by that. And I was like, but like, I, it's fudge.
Starting point is 00:54:56 Like what? He, it was the classic, a Christmas Carol moment where he's, what did you just say? Fudge. Reimagining that scene, but it's him saying the N word.
Starting point is 00:55:09 Is funnier. No, no, no i that's not what i meant i'm just saying what did you mean the juxtaposition of like whoa how's estonia it's pretty cold pretty like cold rainy right now i fucking hate it i hate it i'm so glad to be here yeah it's good to be in a sunny la good to be in this super mega studio that's like completely blacked out. Not a single window in sight. There are two windows in this room. It's just that, you know, for the sound, windows aren't the best. This room is professionally soundproof. That's some of the sound paneling right there on the wall.
Starting point is 00:55:36 Up on the ceiling as well? Yep. We had some experts come in here and they had these little trinkets and they were like measuring sound shit and they're like, all right, got to put it here, here and here. You guys got to get some of those markiplier foam pads that like people randomly throw onto their walls to make them look professional they don't do shit yeah that's what I found
Starting point is 00:55:52 if you put them in the right place they can help especially if you're in an echoey room and you put the like they're good for corner trapping and stuff like putting them in the corners is good so you can catch her like if you're speaking at a wall putting it there so the sound doesn't bounce back but people are just like here's three of them right behind me to look better in my webcam yeah i just always loved how markiplier looked like he existed in a void
Starting point is 00:56:12 where it's just like his whole office was just completely black his his okay so when we lived with him that was in his bedroom was his recording setup and it was like at the foot of his bed and it was a corner and it was really soundproof like his his recording setups were always really well done like the one at the grumps office they always look clean and the one at the grumps office that was intensely soundproof yeah well i think that was mostly the did he create that little did they give i forget if they gave him like a little area or whatever they did he had his little area and i think he rented it from them maybe but remember it had like the eggshell ceiling and like everything like in the carpet damn i remember do you remember the carpet in that room
Starting point is 00:56:47 was super like it almost looked like uh just like industrial like uh like foam that would be inside of like a mattress that was i i really missed the grumps office a lot like the old one well where there are two eras pre-construction no actually three pre-construction during during an aft post during was an interesting time where we were kind of all uprooted and just all over the place and there was that interior design woman always had her assistant and she brought her snake out a lot you guys were editors for game grumps too right yeah for three about three years yeah i was a big game grumps fan at two at one point i was like from the john tron era and then i'd be like one of those
Starting point is 00:57:24 motherfuckers like why'd he leave where think they should bring john back um i think maybe hold off on that right now right now so in the future you're holding out hopes maybe you know it could be listen i don't want to say anything too public but let's just say uh keep holding on to those hopes oh my god i'm gonna post'm going to post this to Conspiracy Grumps. Yeah, dude. You might have to. No, John is coming back, though. That's confirmed. Wow.
Starting point is 00:57:51 Yay. I'm so excited. He's replacing their manager, Brent. He's not going to be a personality. No. He's just going to be their manager. He's replacing, like, he's just doing a managerial role. New career. He doesn't want to be, he'd rather be behind the camera nowadays.
Starting point is 00:58:03 Actually, it was manager slash custodial work or some shit i can't remember yeah i don't i don't know if he's gonna have like underlings do the custodial well no wait well no maybe he's just doing the custodial work then he might not be managing his because i don't think they need a manager it's a youtube channel okay that's true it's a whole lot of jokes it's just a bunch of fart jokes you know what i think is interesting the how many like people kind of started around the game grumps community because you guys know prezzo right yeah yeah he started as like a guy that just made like he edited the compilations for game drums like i think he did some of the ones that we had to work with yeah he did he did like the biggest ones basically yeah he's the one that like clipped everything and then we he was uh
Starting point is 00:58:43 he was one of the people uh that made like big compilations. And I think they hired him a few times. And then one of his friends was also another big one who now like edits for a bunch of people. Yeah. Too many coins, man. A lot of those editors are cool. It's a lot of just cool little cats that though if you throw compilations together or upload clips on their own. Thank you, because it helps us out.
Starting point is 00:59:02 And then it's kind of epic. It is very epic. You're recycling our content, making it fresh again also uh yeah no prezzo's cool i got launched with him once but he was when he was still like he had just he was editing for cold ones and he didn't really have like a social media presence yet oh he's huge now yeah he's massive he's a fucking he's become like one of my close friends i love him so much he's fucking hilarious dude i love so funny his tweets like consistently make me laugh oh he's it piss he's one of my close friends. I love him so much. He's fucking hilarious, dude. I love Prezzo. He's so funny. His tweets like consistently make me laugh. Oh, he's one of those people where it pisses me off because I'm like, why didn't I think of that?
Starting point is 00:59:30 How does he always get to that? No, he's so consistently funny. I love his tweets so much. Oh my God. I wish he was here. I just got accepted into Harvard Law School tweet that he does every two months and it always blows up. Oh yeah.
Starting point is 00:59:44 You want a hit of the day? Yeah. You know what you really got to check out is you got to check out the prezzo twitch streams because you know what he does on that he gets a little bit too drunk he sucks on his own toes really that's not allowed on twitch well i mean i think it is because the asmr channel is packed filled with people sucking on ear microphones the asmr shit is so fucking weird and as someone who enjoys asmr i hate that because it like most people realizes the fucking like uh aspect of asmr that's probably how furries felt where it's like people are just seeing this as like a sexual depravity thing when like that's just a small section of people who like uh do it a lot of
Starting point is 01:00:21 people just kind of like the idea of anthropomorphizing animals or imagining themselves as that character and the aesthetic. So I've watched ASMR since high school. I love ASMR. Like I'm not trying to defend it. Sounds like you had that point ready to go. Yeah. I haven't been practicing that in the mirror. He's a joking.
Starting point is 01:00:40 Yeah. It's just, it's a joke, but the sentiment's real. Yeah. But I'm just joking. But I hate, like if I say I like ASMR, people think the girl with the large breasts
Starting point is 01:00:48 licking the ear microphone. I just put the sound on sometimes on stream and people are like, please stop. Well, I say that, but I haven't streamed in a while. Oops. You've been working on your ASMR videos. Yeah, you're right. I just want to make sure I get the sound perfect.
Starting point is 01:01:03 Yeah. That's a good way to test it when you get really up close you can really just I'm just trying to work on how I move my tongue around the earlobe right now
Starting point is 01:01:11 because that's a very sensitive spot where you can hear that like some I just clip the microphone every time I get there so I just have to be a little more soft
Starting point is 01:01:17 hey practice makes perfect yeah exactly you know have you been thought about you know doing some ASMR streams I do it sometimes into my little like
Starting point is 01:01:24 sure SM that mic, but it just doesn't hit the same. Sure SM7B, the Joe Rogan mic, as everyone calls it. Everyone, my buddy. Before it was the Michael Jackson mic. I didn't realize that people did that outside of my friend group too. No, everyone does. It's crazy.
Starting point is 01:01:37 It was the Michael Jackson mic first though, because Michael Jackson recorded Thriller on it. Really? And then Joe Rogan's like, yeah, I'm going to make this mine, because the king of pop is dead so now the king of comedy must fill the void uh and uh i went to guitar center the other night with my my buddy joseph and uh we walked past and he's like do you guys use the uh joe rogan mics at the office and i was like yep it's the joe rogan mic good mics they're wonderful they're amazing
Starting point is 01:02:02 they're fantastic a little bit deeper voice well you're using a Sennheiser shotgun mic see we actually have enough Shure SM7Bs for you to use one as well but it would take too much to set up so we just gave you
Starting point is 01:02:13 the Sennheiser shotgun mic we record our Let's Plays with which is still decent audio yeah we do our Let's Plays you probably won't even notice the difference because of how we export our podcast
Starting point is 01:02:22 that mic actually is incredible though no I've listened to your guys' videos and I'm like fuck that sounds so good podcast that mic actually is incredible though no i i've i've listened to your guys videos i'm like fuck that sounds well that mic actually is way more expensive than these yeah that one is is that's like a thousand bucks i think we just liked the way we sounded because the game grumps let us record in their offices and they use their setup and they use those oh this i've been wondering what they use yeah so basically the reason their audio sounds so good and it's why I think ours sounds pretty good, is because first the room is soundproof. But then also that mic, it picks up like a huge vocal range.
Starting point is 01:02:51 And then the big part is the dynamics processing you had afterwards. We had dynamics processing. Barry had a very good preset that we've kind of replicated and then changed a little. Right, because our room was different from theirs. replicated and then changed a little right because our room was different from theirs but basically it's kind of like this like s curve on the graph that you kind of uh cut out certain frequencies like so you don't get a lot of clipping um everything is out to like everything's boosted basically the base comes out it's great yeah but if you do it too much your s's will be like yeah do you guys stream much outside of like epic smp i i i got
Starting point is 01:03:26 into streaming a lot more about two months ago and like i streamed a good bit of epic smp but i also streamed like a lot of sea of thieves and i like i have seen a couple of boss gauntlets but uh i always get in this state where something happens with work or my personal life where my brain cannot focus on streaming i'm just like it's it's one of the easier things to cut out yes that's because it's the same thing because it's it's not something that i am dependent on fully because we were streaming a lot in january and then uh february happened and it was kind of tricky to stream and yeah just after that Valentine's Day, big Valentine's
Starting point is 01:04:06 Day incident that we just don't want to talk about. You don't want a big Valentine's Day incident. No, we had one this year. It was bad for both of us. We're still feeling the ramifications of it to this day. Aw, you poor babies. We probably will for some time. Yep. I just want to hear back from Eric.
Starting point is 01:04:22 He'll get back. I don't think he's going to. He'll get back. I don't think he's going to get back to us. He'll get back to one of us. Because we both, maybe a separate time, we both saw him that night. But that's the problem. And that's what we need to talk about. Okay. You guys got a little love triangle going on? No, no, no, no.
Starting point is 01:04:39 No. Okay. Cut that out. No, no, yeah. I mean, it's my life. It's my personal life, too. Well, don't make it a competition. I that out. No, no, no. Yeah. I mean, it's my life. It's my personal life too. Well, don't make it a competition. I'm not.
Starting point is 01:04:47 I'm just saying, I'm just saying you're the, you're the one worrying about it. Oh no, you're worrying about it just as much as me. I just feel like you're not, you're not, you're not thinking that like,
Starting point is 01:04:53 oh, Ryan doesn't need to worry about anything, but I have just as much of an emotional state as you did in this. I'm just saying, it's, it's the way you came off. You're implying that you have more of an emotional interest in him than I do.
Starting point is 01:05:02 Jim's leaving. Oh, bye Jim. Bye Jim. Bye. Have a good life. I will. Bye. You're fired. Bye you have more of an emotional interest in him than I do. Jim's leaving. Oh, bye, Jim. Bye, Jim. Bye. Have a good life. I will. Bye. You're fired.
Starting point is 01:05:08 Bye. By the way, bringing Jim on the team because he slightly looks like Eric is kind of a dick move. And I don't think he'd like that if I told him that. But someone. I went to the beach with Jim a few days ago. How was it? It was very nice. Did he lay out a towel for you?
Starting point is 01:05:24 He let me hit his vape. Very chill. Yo, he is the man for that. He is the, he's always packing that vape. Dude, he always has that vape and he is passing it around like crazy. Like he'll, you'll be like, hey, what's up, Jim? Be like, hey, you want to hit this vape? And it's a nice, it's the nicest fucking guy.
Starting point is 01:05:38 Oh yeah. I love Jim. I felt very cool hitting his vape. His vape specifically. Yeah. No, I like hitting his vape. It's got, it's a euphemism it could be but it's not i never kiss and tell well you kissed me yesterday and then told about
