It's like, hi, I'm Ryan. And I'm Matt. We like to play video games.

We're just straight up noobs. We're gamers. Yep. Yep. Okay, guys. So in this episode of Super Mega Cast, we thought of a little interesting topic. So Ryan and I were talking earlier, and it came to our knowledge that we're fucking stupid. Yes.

I were talking earlier and it came to our knowledge that that we're fucking stupid yes when when it comes well put when it comes to you know history and science we don't know that much so so we we thought like what if we took you know big like historical moments and and scientific things and we and we tried to explain like them the best that we could to our knowledge and you got a list don't you yeah I do I I made a little list in my notebook. Okay, so basically, Ryan, I'm going to bring up a topic, like a famous historical event. We'll move on to science stuff later in the podcast, but we're going to start with history. It's going to be history class, okay? Okay.

So, like, stuff that we learned about in school, like, just big historical moments. And then I want you and I, we're both going to say, like, what event was, what we remember about it, and how we think it went down. Tell me legitimately how you think it happened or what it was. And if I can't think of something, try to logically come up with something based on the name and context clues and stuff. All right. The first one is everyone's favorite, Pearl Harbor. Okay. Pearl Harbor.

Why was Pearl Harbor attacked and what happened? first one is everyone's favorite pearl harbor okay pearl harbor like why why why was pearl harbor attacked and and like what happened and and um the japanese got mad at us for some reason i think it's because like for i think within the u.s they're like oh we're not taking allies and all of a sudden we were like kind of under the table just helping people and countries didn't like that i i japan was like no no no and so they came over and wrecked our shit up a little bit i i thought i don't know a little bit a little bit yeah pearl harbor was just a little well compared to what we did to them yeah they're like i love how i love how people like what pissed me off was when the japanese tsunami happened like people on facebook were like that's what you get for pearl harbor i'm like no people said that yeah

no i legitimately saw that like i don't think that's payback i think the two fucking fucking like nuclear warheads that we dropped onto their land but the thing was so i i thought that like pearl harbor got attacked because like uh we said like nope we're staying out of this one we don't want to be in this war yeah yeah so then we were like helping people like kind of like you know helping them out yeah and i pissed off providing support so they were like hey guys take this so you know, helping them out. Yeah, and that pissed off Japan. Providing support. So they were like, hey guys, take this. So you and I kind of come to an agreement of that's what we think. It was a lot of stuff. We'll just, we'll leave it at that.

Yeah, it was a lot of stuff. So, so, so Ryan, one of the most important men in history. Correct us in the comment section below. Please, please, please show us your, show us your smarts. Ryan, one of, one of the most famous men in history was was a little man known by the name of napoleon yeah what do you know about napoleon this is bonaparte right no napoleon dynamite yeah yeah what did what did like what did he do like why who was he okay um he wasn't short he was average height yeah it was it was that was actually made up by his uh enemies enemies right

like to me and it still sticks like you see on the fairly odd parents he's he's a short man Yeah, that was actually made up by his enemies. Enemies, right. And it still sticks. You see on the Fairly Oddparents, he's a short man. So anyways, Napoleon, he's a general of an army, of a French army. Yeah, French. And he just was famous because he led the battle in a lot of famous places. And he was an asshole. He's famous for being a dick.

Yeah, I know that. He was famous for being a dick yeah i know that he was famous for being a dick and he this is this god if only he could hear what people in the future like what we think like i'm not sure he'd cry because he cares about what we think he's listening to this podcast and he's like oh sacred blue and then he cries but I actually read a really gross fact about Napoleon, which I almost don't want to say because it's disgusting. What is it? Okay, I might be wrong on this, but I read this somewhere. It might just be some bullshit fact, but I read that Napoleon loved pussy stank so much that he would write letters. Like, there were documented letters to his wife that he would, like, tell her not to bathe while he was out at war for three months so he could get home and just bury his face in it.

Oh, so she didn't send him her underwear or anything? No, he just waited until he got home and just went dumpster diving. Could you please send your dirty-soiled undergarments to the battlefield, my love? I need a push. Imagine him riding his horse with those on his head. Yes! Oh! No, but Napoleon, I know that he was French, and he lost at the Battle of Waterloo because... Was that in Russia?

I guess. Well, because he lost in Russia. What happened after that? He got exiled, didn't he? Yeah, for some reason I thought he was like... I thought he thought he was like yeah exiled onto an island or some shit at first i thought i was like mixing that up with like oedipus's story for some reason those twos were clashing because you know he he blinded himself and he's not a real person but yeah no he wasn't a real person but napoleon was a real person yeah napoleon but he got he got uh banished to like

an island didn't he that's what i think yeah because i was thinking it then you said it so it must be true it must be true and also if it both clicked in our minds i i don't know if i might have said this clicked in both of our minds i think i said this on the last podcast but hitler thought he was the reincarnate version of napoleon who thought he was the reincarnate of julius caesar i couldn't find information about that i saw like i looked it up just to check your facts and I looked up they idolized each other in that way. Really? They idolized each other in the same

way that you're talking except I don't think they thought they were reincarnated. Wow, I'm totally wrong. Don't take my Google search as fact. My history teacher told me that in high school so he must have been fucking lying. Now speaking of French stuff. my history teacher in high school said um this is this is what he thought about evolution he said okay so we're like 98 percent you know connect or 97

whatever percent connected to a monkey or whatever you know that dna whatever you know clouds are 97% water, and watermelons are 97% water. Do I believe that watermelons came from clouds? No. What? I mean, he's got a point. This is like fucking South Carolina school system summed up, wrapped in a big beautiful bow. This whole podcast is South Carolina school system

because it's showing that we don't know shit about history. And just wait until we get into fucking science. Okay, while we're on the topic of Frenchmen, Ryan, tell me, what is the Treaty of Versailles? Is that something French? The Treaty of Versailles. Dude, I don't know what the Treaty of Versailles is. The Treaty of Versailles. Okay, treaty means that there was some conflict going on.

So there's a Treaty of Versailles. So I'm going to say it was about a classist thing because I think that was big in French. No, I think the Treaty of Versailles had to do with... Isn't that what ended World War I? What stopped all the fighting? Oh, maybe. And then Hitler broke it.

And that's what started World War II, right? What started World War II... Wasn't that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand? That was World War I. Yeah, World War I. wasn't that the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand? That was, that was one. World, World War I. Yeah, World War I. I thought what, yeah, what started, yeah, yeah, you're right. What started World War II was the German submarines, right?

I don't know. Like, going where they. I thought that Hitler was breaking the Treaty of Versailles, and they're like, mm-mm-mm, that's no good, Hitler. So then they went in and were like, pew. Who, who, we? We did that? Who, who came in and went, pew?

We did. We did? We didn't come, just like, I thought went... We did? We didn't come... Just like... I thought in both World Wars, we didn't really come in until the end. Yeah, we... Like with the whole Normandy,

like storming the beach of Normandy. That was like at the end. That was at the latter part of the war. Didn't we not do that? Like, we didn't do it to save the people of the Holocaust. Well, we didn't know that the Holocaust was happening when we stormed the beach... When we stormed the beaches.

I thought. I thought we just came across them and were like, Oh shit this is worse than we thought oh no dude when it when it when it comes to uh when it fucking like comes to school stuff all the high schoolers and middle schoolers listening to this do you guys realize that everything you learn means jack shit because we're we're we're doing we're doing fine and we don't know any of this shit so there's no reason to know too much i mean honestly like it's not really affecting my life that i don't know most of ryan if you don't know the past history will repeat itself duh you'll turn into hitler wait wait wait so on the on the subject of germany the next thing okay what what was the whole deal with like the berlin East and West Germany? Why was it – why?

Which one was the communist one, East or West? West sounds pretty bad. It sounds pretty bad? Yeah, West. West is something about West. Okay. Well, let me – well, why was there a wall around it? To separate the communist side from the non-communist side.

Okay. Which Germany was communist? West. West and East Germany. Your search, which Germany was communist, did not match any... Nothing came up on Google. What the fuck? Dude, Google be tripping. Type in Berlin Wall question mark. Seth Rogen left.

Okay, the Berlin Wall. What the fuck? Mr. Gorbachev, tear this wall down. Dude, this was all the way in the fucking 80s. Dude, for some reason I thought that this was like in the 40s. No. What? Yeah.

East Germany, dude. East Germany was the communist one. Yeah, exactly. You said that west germany no i just said west sounded bad wait hold on east the german democratic no never mind i think west see i was right no no no the berlin wall only was around berlin it wasn't around i was right okay well i know nothing about it was part of the eastern block or some shit i just i'm just throwing in vocabulary words i don't know what they mean. I just know. Dude. Why?

Okay. All right, Ryan. I got another one for you. Okay. The Vietnam War, dude. Why did we invade Vietnam? Because they're... Like, what was the point of the Vietnam War? One of the biggest failures in American...

I thought we were just going there to fucking help out. Like, we usually do. To help out? Who are we helping out? Why were we... I don't know. We just help out. We just go and help people.

We napalmed the shit out of Vietnam. We wanted to help their citizens because they're, I don't know. Against who? Who are we helping them from? Themselves? Yeah. I don't know. There was North and South Vietnam.

Which one was the communist one? The North one. Yes. Like the Koreas. The Viet Cong. Yes, exactly. But like, Ryanyan tell me tell me how did the whole vietnam war go down what do you know about it uh well the only like major

thing i know about it is that we sent like african americans in like first really i didn't know that like i think that's what happened like we sent like we we got a bunch of african-american soldiers and like we would put them on the front lines that's kind of shitty i mean we're it's america so i guess i mean if you look at our record we don't really have a like a good clean line of justice oh dude and that makes sense why during that time period the black panther party was so like outraged with the vietnam war because remember like that was was the peak of all their protests and stuff. I really think that that's all I know about Vietnam other than like, holy shit,

fucking mustard gas. Yeah. And also, carpet bombing. Oh, yeah. The Vietnamese were really good at just fucking hiding and coming out,

like playing pop-up peek-a-boo. Pop-up peek-a-boo. It's peek-a-boo, pop, pop, pop. And they go back down and they just killed somebody. the thing they were very like not innovative but they were brutal yeah dude the vietcong were fucking brutal like they didn't give a shit you know they used children didn't they yeah and one of one of the traps they would do is they would get bamboo shoots and then they would put like shit on them so then soldiers would step on them and then the shit would get into their bloodstream

and then they would get like gangrene or something like that god yeah and also um something about vietnam is i forgot what i was saying so never mind we're about to say that the vietnamese um would give them apples and then the u.s army would bite into them and they put razor blades in the apples i thought you're gonna say they put like sleeping potion in the apple and then the united states can only be awoken from the kiss of the South Vietnamese. No, but like the – dude, isn't it awesome that we actually won the Vietnam War? Did they have a – I mean was there a scare that we wouldn't win? Wait, Ryan.

Please tell me you know that we lost the Vietnam War. I don't know. I don't know. You don't know this? No. All I know is like people are like, I don't like that. I don't like the Vietnam War. Because we lost the Vietnam War. I don't know. I don't know. You don't know this? No. All I know is like people are like I don't like that.

I don't like the Vietnam War. Because we lost. We jumped in and then it was just like a terrible failure. We just fucking lost the Vietnam War. How?

Because we're idiots. What the... Like compared to them like didn't we have so much more technology I know and that's why it was so embarrassing and we got desperate

and we started just bombing the shit out of civilian towns because it's like there might be some communists in this town something's happening here that's the best thing to come out of the vietnam war was the music they had some good good vietnamese not vietnamese music good vietnamese war music like every vietnamese war movie used the same i really tried to think like how did we fucking lose because it was something that we... Okay, so, the Red Scare. Tell me about the Red Scare. Like, why were we so afraid of communism

that we felt the need to invade communist countries? We didn't just feel the need to invade communist countries. We felt the need to fucking, like, imprison people. And bomb the shit out of them. No, like, even in the U.S. during the Red Scare, like, even in the film industry and stuff like that. Yeah, everyone got blacklisted. Yeah.

If they accused you of being a, even just the slightest inkling of being a communist, you would get blacklisted. I mean, talking about history repeating itself, it was the witch hunt all over again. You could just, it's almost like claiming your neighbor was a communist and people were like, mm-mm, no, no, no. Yeah, any tiny, just the slightest little bit of suspicion, the most ridiculous thing, that you could be a communist. You just... Isn't it weird to think that there was a point in time in the United States of America where we burned women and men and probably some children alike? For being witches?

For being fucking witches. They were so fucking stupid. The dumbest shit I've ever heard. We burned people alive because we thought they were Harry Potter characters. Essentially, they had wands. In the Salem Witch Trials, what made them think that they were witches? What led them to believe that? The Bible?

No, no, no. I thought the Bible was a big thing with the Salem Witch Trials. I just don't get why. I heard some drug affected their... I don't know. Heard there was some drug going on. They were on that good kush. And alcohol.

But anyway, Salem Witch Trials, they're, fuck, it's so dumb. It's so, it's the stupidest shit. I can't believe that actually happened. And they killed people. I mean, wouldn't they also, like, take what they thought were witches? They drown them? They'd put them in water, and they'd be like, well, if they're a witch, they'll float, and they'll be able to save it was it was pretty much if they're a witch they won't die but they always died and they're like whoops uh-oh all right guys see you tomorrow angie has made it

Okay, so that's the one we actually helped with okay we didn't we didn't fuck up like we did in vietnam we helped south korea out a good bit with north korea okay so why why were south and north korea fighting was it because north korea was like more of like a communist dictatorship type of thing and like south korea wanted to like get away from that wanted to be more independent kind of i think so i think that i think that um like the whole like kim dynasty came into play and i i think that actually what

a joke i know you know north korea there was a point where after the korean war north korea was the pot was the powerful one for like 40 years and south korea was complete shit and everyone was poor and hungry and everything was completely just shitty. And North Korea was the big powerful one. And then once South Korea, I think, started working with the U.S. more and getting more industrialized, that's when they started to overpower North Korea. And now North Korea is this little like, whoo! They're just a toddler.

Absolutely. They're a toddler with a handgun. I love, dude, I know a shit ton. I've heard that somewhere. I can't remember. That quote's from somewhere. I love North Korea. they're just a toddler absolutely they're a toddler with a handgun i love dude i know i've heard that somewhere i can't remember that that quote's from somewhere i love what i relate to it i don't love north korea i'm very interested in north korea i've read a few books about north korea and watched many documentaries like they're fucking prison camps dude yeah i've read i've read stuff that says like once north korea falls they will like and and people see the true extent of the prison camps it'll be like, like, worse than the Holocaust.

Really? I read that somewhere, yeah. Hmm. Apparently, like, millions of people have been killed in those prison camps. Like, the survivor tales are terrifying. Recently, some guy, like, stole, like, a North Korean propaganda poster or something and then was... Imprisoned, yeah. Yeah, imprisoned and put to work in a work camp, right?

Yeah, and it's like... He's crying and shit. He's like, it's like, dude... He's crying and shit. He's like, I'm so sorry! It's like, you know, a lot of people go to North Korea and then get imprisoned, but, like, this guy is just, like, he was kind of asking for... It was dumb. It was dumb. You don't, like, you go to North Korea... You follow

the fucking rules if you go to North Korea. Yeah. And also, it's like, okay... Not to say that he was, like, I'm not gonna say, like, oh, North Korea... I'm never gonna say North Korea's in the right. No. I'm not going to say like, oh, North Korea. I'm never going to say North Korea is in the right. I'm never going to say like, North Korea, good job, North Korea. When you go to another country, you don't steal like propaganda posters. Especially North Korea. That's the one country you don't fuck around with.

You don't fuck around with big toddler baby men. Speaking of big toddler baby men, tell me a little bit about our beloved Adolf. Hitler hated not just Jewish people. He hated a lot of people. He hated gypsies, homosexuals, cripples. He was just racist in general and ableist. Why, though? Why was he racist?

I don't know. I don't know i don't know did he didn't he think that the jews were like uh secretly like plotting against him or something i don't know he was paranoid it's like a big kid on a playground that sees just just people and just goes oh i don't i don't like them i'm gonna go mess with them because like their brains can't bully they can't comprehend like feelings or emotion well no doubt like hitler definitely had like mental problems like he whatever he's definitely psychopathic he's sociopathic definitely he's in my opinion he's just a big loser he's just a big baby just a big fucking child you know what sucks dude he fucking ruined that mustache too because that was like it was a

popular stash the box mustache like charlie chaplin had it and stuff every time every fucking time i see like charlie chaplin in a movie or a show or something like if he's on hollywood boulevard people go like why is he dressed up as hitler like it's like that that's the that's the fun joke so i'm sure charlie chaplin is just rolling over in his grave just god damn it fucking hitler my image is soiled what was what was like do we know hitler's middle name did he have a middle name adolf um he had one testicle i do know that really he only had one testicle and also was he no he wasn't gay who was gay he had a wife he had a wife he painted but he wasn't like i mean he was all right hitler's middle name i'm looking this up his full name was adolphus jacob hitler adolphus adolphus what a joke oh my god god dude how old

was he when he died yeah i don't know was he in his 40s uh the pictures of him he looks kind of not like old but yeah older dude ryan let's move into american history dude what the fuck is the civil war the civil war um was just was just north and south brother versus brother going pew pew yeah but why uh something to do with racial problems okay yeah what was the big thing that had to do with slavery yeah okay for a, yeah, okay. For a second I was about to be like... No, I mean, that's a given. I mean, the Civil War is definitely linked to slavery. No, the Civil War didn't have anything to do with slavery.

It's heritage, not hate. But it was, I guess... I mean, I'm trying to think. Was the North's main goal to liberate? No. Was that their main... What was their main goal? I don't know.

That was part of it, though, but... But that wasn't their main... No. Like like it wasn't all about freeing the slaves i think the south was just being a douchebag so they're like let's kill them all so they did no i can tell you that's not well what about what about the boston tea party dude uh um so the boston tea party it was just it was uh what are you i'm trying to think it was more was, what do you call it? I'm trying to think. It was more of a, what do you call it when people hold up picket signs? There's a word for that. Yeah, it was a big protest, wasn't it? Yeah, they were like, take your tea and enjoy it all salty and gross in the harbor.

They dressed up as Native Americans, right? Yeah. Or is that a lie? No, no, I think they did. Are you sure? That's what the history books portray. I know, but like a lot of shit the history books say, and then it's not true. How can I trust it?

Think about how— We lived in South Carolina. We were just like, yeah, the Civil War. The South fought valiantly, but lost. Dude, my whole life, growing up until high school, I thought that basically we were taught that the South was in the right in the Civil War. We were never taught about slavery. We were never taught about— I was taught about slavery.

No, no, no. We were taught about slavery, but we were never taught about slavery. We were never taught about – I was taught about slavery. No, no, no. We were taught about slavery, but we weren't – we were never taught that it was like – like we were never taught in the Civil War like it was this awful thing and that's why it was like, oh, man, the South. And everyone's like, yeah, the South. And then we also never learned that the – like the truth about Columbus and we even have a fucking holiday for him. And then like the history books leave out so much and put so much in America's favor like to make it not sound – Didn't Christopher Columbus like die depressed? No, he died thinking that he still found america or something damn it he got it then you know he ended it happy he was an asshole though he was a true asshole oh yeah he what i'm sorry your voice cracked oh just went high a little bit. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Are you hitting puberty? No. I'm just...

I am. When I go higher, I'm like, oh. No. Well, that was very pubis of you. Pubis? Is that a word? Pubescent? I don't know.

I think pubis is a word. Pubis? I'm pretty sure pubis is, like, one of the Latin things for, like, your genitals. Like, your mons pubis. I'm pretty sure no seriously i think mons pubis is like the scientific term for like the like like the mound of vagina on a woman okay i got a question for you matt laying on me dude okay i'm just curious as to your answer i guess um how did how did we how did we evolve from ocean from the ocean how do we how do we

well uh simple ryan we didn't evolution is a lie it's simply nothing but a theory and uh the sooner you accept that people don't understand how strong a scientific theory is it's not just oh it's a theory no it's so fucking strong it's like it's highly regarded in the scientific community i'm shocked that there were still people in 2016 that just try to disprove evolution it's it's just like one of those things like oh the sun's hot evolution's real like it's just a fucking thing please like debate us in the comments if if evolution is like if you think evolution is not real please let it be known so everyone in the comment section can literally just like there's like fossil record not just that ryan anyone can make up fossil records but you look at like just the simple things like when you move a species to

a different environment it eventually will adapt it'll die or adapt that's that's how it works can i stop you right there ryan what you know the earth is only six thousand years old, right? Billions and billions of years six thousand years old Ryan The universe is six thousand years old get these stupid ideas out of your fucking head You know, okay well since since we're on the topic of evolution, I think this is a good segue into science Okay, let's let's let's talk science, dude. Okay. All right Ryan of evolution, I think this is a good segue into science. Okay. Let's talk science, dude. Okay. All right.

Ryan. Yeah? I'm ready. One of the most interesting things about science is space. Yes. Yes. I like going to the Griffith Observatory. It's a great place.

You and I should go and go to the planetarium and shit. Yeah. Planetarium, sorry. The Griffith Observatory is right next to the Hollywood sign, and they have all these big telescopes. It's really cool. Stethoscopes. I saw Jupiter, I think? Yeah, it was Jupiter.

You told me about it, and I remember. Ryan, what's a black hole? A black hole, I know it sucks things up, doesn't it? Good, good. Okay. Just imagine a keynote speech on black holes from Ryan McGee. Professor McGee, here to talk about black holes. Like a whole group of college students.

I'm looking around nervously, like sweating from the brow. Your hands in your pockets. You dab your brow off. A black hole is – it sucks things up. Gravity doesn't work as well. How does it well no it doesn't it doesn't work it sucks gravity um how does it like how is do you know do you know how a black hole is formed uh by some cosmic coincidence no it's stars when they uh implode on themselves yeah that's like that's that sounds like a coincidence no is it cosmic coincidence sure No, it's a cosmic coincidence. Sure. Well, it's a cosmic coincidence.

So stars implode. Yeah, when they suck up and then like all the weight and gravity of the star gets sucked into like a single point. And the gravity is so strong that it literally like rips time and space. Can black holes like – this is going to sound dumb, I guess. I'm just interested. Can black holes like orbit around something? Like do they move? Yes, I think so yeah no they

do move okay and you know it's it's theorized that at the center of every galaxy is a black hole and that's what holds galaxies together so it's theorized that like at the middle of our galaxy is a black hole and it's slowly sucking everything in didn't someone think like was it einstein i can't remember who it was but like didn't someone think like there was a link between black holes and time travel or some shit like that? Well, there is. Like. But, like, time travel, like.

Well, when you go. Didn't we figure out, like, time travel is not possible? No, I think it's possible. It's not possible. Because you'd have to travel faster than the speed of, like, light to, like, go backwards or some shit like that. Well, that was, like, a theory at some point. Well, time travel. Not a theory.

If you were to orbit. That was a thought at some point. If you were to orbit a black hole, like like beyond the edge of a black hole time would go by way slower so you could be like orbiting a black hole for a month but on earth it would be like a hundred years so theoretically when you come back oh yeah okay like an interstellar think about time works differently because an interstellar they're on the edge spoiler alert they they orbit the black hole and like they're gone on that planet for five minutes, and they come back, and it's been 20 years.

Yeah. And that's so weird to think that that kind of- That's a sad part of the movie. That was sad. If we spoiled it for you- When he's watching his kids grow up, and he's smiling and crying and stuff, that made me tear up. That was sad.

Oh, yeah. I choked up, definitely. I was just, ugh. He did a good job in that role. Say what you will about Matthew McConaughey, but I think he played a very good role in this film. He started off in some shitty Texasxas chainsaw massacre movie or like that was one of the first like movies he starred in did he drive a lincoln i saw the lincoln lawyer

did you i'm not talking about the lincoln lawyer i'm talking about the fucking lincoln commercials he's in that's because he's late i think he was in those because he was in the movie lincoln lawyer and then lincoln's like oh we can advertise advertise through this movie in that weird type of way. Or unless it was just some cosmic coincidence. Dude, look at you. Did you know Abraham Lincoln theorized was gay? Yeah, because he didn't have this commanding voice. Didn't he have kind of a soft voice?

It sounded just like that. Hey, as of today, as of today, all the slaves are free. Just imagine when he gives his, when he gives his, like, declaration speech about, like, Hey, guys, all the slaves are free now. Forrest Gump, it's seven years ago. And everyone in the audience is just like,

Dude. Boy, I'm really enjoying this play. And everyone in the audience is just like, what? Dude. Boy, I'm really enjoying this play. Mocking a president. What's he going to do? Come back from the grave and get mad at you? I'm not really liking what you boys are saying about me. Oh, you boys are pissing me off.

Dude, fucking. But like, he didn't have a deep, like, voice. He actually had, like, a light voice. He had a high-pitched voice. I thought, like, that's definitely a thing. Oh, hi, John. Here to see the play? John's like, Oh, yeah. Yeah.

He had the voice, too. And all of a sudden, he's like, Mary, what are... What should we do about John behind me? I don't know, Abraham. I don't know, honey. I don't know, Abraham. Abraham, John's got a gun. Dude, okay.

Well, Lincoln's story is fucking depressing. Like, didn't his son die at a young age? I don't know. One of his sons, I think, died at a young age from a disease. Well, dude, you know, fuck it. He got on the penny. You know, that should make all up for it he's on the like he's on the penny and the five dollar bill yeah and speaking of the dollar bill they're removing andrew jackson from the 20th yeah and uh putting harriet tubman on yeah harriet tubman dude but

she was a big uh she you know the underground railroad all right well while we're still talking about black holes let's's get back into talking about... What? Did you mean that? Was that an accident? Let's talk about atoms. Let's talk about molecules and atoms and electrons. How do they work, dude? Electrons are positively charged.

You sure about that? Negatively charged because negative has that reaction where it's like... Right? No, no. Protons are – Professor McGee goes upstage to like, please explain electrons. Yeah, you know, because they have that – it goes –

Oh, my God. Dude, everything is made up of these little things. Like, are they little balls or are they just like charges? I don't know what they are. Okay, so an electron has an electric charge of some kind. Yes, but how do they make everything up? Because here's the thing that's weird to think about. Like the nucleus of like a molecule or an electron or whatever the fuck I'm talking about.

Like, you know how they have... Okay, you know how electrons orbit the nucleus? Okay. like you know how they have okay you know how electrons orbit the nucleus okay the distance between the nucleus and the electrons orbiting it's like a football it's like two m&ms on a football field so think about how far apart that is so think about how many of those have to be put together and they're so small that it can like make up solids and shit dude i'm blowing my mind here yeah and then we destroyed part of a country with some of that shit, with our knowledge in that area. Do you think we created anime through that?

Like the radiation was what got to people's brains and they created shit like anime? Well, I don't know about anime, but it helped create Godzilla. Which led possibly to cool, weird monsters being made, which led to like tentacle porn. Kaijus? Godzilla wasn't the first kaiju, was he? Godzilla was a metaphor for... Well, I know he was a metaphor for Hiroshima. Like for the atomic bomb.

Yeah. Because it's like when you fuck with nature, it... Nature fucks back. Oh, shit. They're making a new Godzilla movie, didn't they? Aren't they? Yeah, they made a new one, and now I think supposedly the rumors are... Yeah, they're making another one.

They're definitely making another one. It's supposed to be more like, I think, Monster monster wars which means a bunch of monsters are coming in shit like this time yeah like mothra and stuff like that and also um uh there's a new king kong movie in the works it's just called skull island i believe and it uh has tom hiddleston and uh oh there's this actor like jk simmons um so that's that's being made see i'm not smart i'm not i don't know a lot about science or history but i do know my movies thank god you know about like godzilla and stuff yeah oh you want to hear something weird by the way no i i might have already told you this yeah i'm gonna say it anyway but like the other day so you know how there's those tsunami buoys yeah that are out at the ocean the noaa go up and

down yeah so they can detect when tsunamis are out buoys go up and down did you know that yes so basically like there was there's this buoy you look this up there's this buoy off the coast of new jersey that the other day just suddenly dropped like 80 feet and then rose like 180 feet in like 15 seconds which is that's like a massive indicator that there's a tsunami. Or a giant sea monster. Or a fucking giant sea monster. And they don't know what it was because none of the others. There's got to be a giant sea monster out there in the middle of the ocean somewhere. Like a big fucking like, what do they call them?

Something predator. What is it called? Apex predator? Dude, you know that like deep down in the ocean, like South Pacific where no one's ever explored. Because we've only explored 2% of the ocean. You know that there's shit down there that's massive and terrifying. Because the killer whales, the really big whales, the ones that dive miles deep, they come back up with massive scars and sucker marks on them.

There's also one video that I saw where this great white, it was being tagged and it was just swimming along. Then it just plunged really deep down. It just instantly yeah like something grabbed it and took it then the tag came back up or some shit like that's terrifying or like i've seen pictures with like a like a great white which is shark bite out a giant bite out of it yeah yeah that's terrifying well they as i said i think it's just like an apex predator like there's got to be like a really big thing that we don't know about yeah or like just a bigger predator shark like i

don't know oh yeah that goat because we don't We know more about the surface of Mars than we do about the ocean, which is funny to think about. That's weird. That's cool, even though NASA isn't funded to the extent that it should be. We should explore the ocean more. You and I should go out there with our little magnifying glass and go swimming and just see what we can find. and just see what we can find. But they were theorizing that the whole buoy thing, the tsunami buoy, could have been from a meteor hitting the ocean and creating a massive wave.

Oh, yeah. Or they said it could have been a foreign submarine could have snagged the cord and dragged it for a second. And then, you know, it shot back up. And it could have been like a Russian or North Korean or Chinese submarine, which I feel like that'd be like a bigger security threat. Oh, yeah.

That would be much bigger if that was true. It's weird to think, though, that there are like foreign like Chinese and Russian submarines off the coast. Like when we go swimming like off the coast, there's fucking submarines for other countries. But but while we're talking about tsunamis, Ryan, we're still talking about science and stuff. Yeah. Dude, how do earthquakes and tsunamis and volcanoes work? Enlighten me. talking about science and stuff yeah dude how do earthquakes and tsunamis and volcanoes work enlighten me uh that's all about the well earthquakes are linked to the tectonic plates

like moving and uh not where just they they collide isn't that does i mean that's when the plates shift yeah yeah well like well the plates are next to each other not collide sorry that would mean if they're apart sorry you're right no but um but they're like i don't know yeah i mean that's that's how earthquakes are uh that's earthquakes that's why that's why we can not really predict them as well as we'd like to but that's like if we look at the plates and we can see you know kind of like how they're moving type of thing isn't that how we help predict future earthquakes and shit like that yeah but it never actually works because well it doesn't work to the extent but like they can they're not they can't just predict an earthquake and be like yes it's gonna happen this but they can be like oh we're you know it shows that there's a pattern

here and we're likely to have one within this time frame yeah dude tsunamis are terrifying does that work the same way like with the plate shifting and it just create well they've never accurately predicted an earthquake ever because it like they they actually disproved recently well you can't accurately predict an earthquake well they try but they're they fail a lot because there was the uh like there's a recent earthquake in japan another big one and then like they couldn't predict any of the aftershocks or anything so it was like i read some article about how it was like a failed system is tsunami the whole plate thing too tsunamis areamis are – okay, so when there's – So basically like with the oceans, there's things called subduction zones.

And like it's where the plates slide under each other. And then when they slide, you know, like pressure builds up because it's like pressing against the other one. And eventually it builds up and it snaps, which makes the plate like bump up in the middle of the ocean. And when the plate bumps up, it lifts part of the ocean and when the when the plate bumps up it lifts part of the ocean up which as you could think like you know if you put your hand in in water and then lift it up it lifts a bunch of water up so when all that water gets displaced and it's like a massive amount of water so when all when all that water gets displaced it just sends a massive ripple out and that massive ripple is a tsunami so and it sends a bunch of ripples

out because for the water to become even again, it ripples a bunch. So then that's why there's multiple tsunami waves. And then it just basically displaces the ocean and throws it towards land. So tsunamis are scary as shit. Oh yeah, no doubt. We're technically in a tsunami zone.

If Los Angeles had a massive earthquake and it triggered a tsunami, we're in a tsunami zone. But we're far away enough where we live our apartment is far away enough we're only like 12 miles from the coast if you just go diagonally but there's there's a mountain range between us and the coast i think isn't there uh well we're definitely far away enough where the water wouldn't reach us because um you know it's like it would fuck santa monica up definitely oh yeah and i saw that um nasa was predicting that like by the end of 2016 there's like a huge like 99 chance that

there's going to be like a massive earthquake in los angeles so if i win end of 2016 really i read that a while back i don't know how true that is because it's one of those things you see on the internet and it could have just been clickbait but yeah go look that up if you're curious if that's true ryan then we should probably do some earthquake preparation one of those kits and a radio and stuff well i hope like i'm not in the parking garage below our building oh shit and just well this building our apartment building is only a few years old i think so i think that like when they build these things nowadays they build them up up to code to make sure they're really earthquake safe. But that's a lot of weight over an underground portion.

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Well, the big problem is that underneath the building, that means it's very hollow because there's several levels of parking. So if it's very hollow underneath, that means I don't think there's as big of a structure to help it stay maintained as if it was solid ground, right? I feel like it has to at least i thought that when they when they built foundations like they account for that stuff so i don't know i'm not an architect oh i'm just saying like yeah they may may account for that but they're like i don't think they're i don't know there may be denying

but if you build something on solid earth opposed to something over a garage where there's different there's like a hollow area it's got to be safer to build they build they like you know when they build like skyscrapers and stuff they build a massive like they dig out a big foundation of underground stuff so i think that like you know like all skyscrapers have like big underground levels and stuff so i think that it's i think it's safe because it's like kind of lodged in the ground instead of just sitting on the ground i don't know i'm not i'm not like an earthquake is that part of why like large skyscrapers like when when like demolitions and stuff happen the it looks like the building's just kind of like collapsing just straight down instead of like tipping over i don't know like that i am i'm

not a civil engineer so i have no idea or george bush dude george bush the greatest he was the greatest civil engineer and demolitionist of our time oh wait okay speaking of george bush the greatest he was the greatest civil engineer and demolitionist of our time oh wait okay speaking of george bush you know his presidency ended right you did yeah yeah and you know jeb bush he uh he ended his campaign no so i think you know out of respect for them this is about the time that we should end this podcast episode let's end the podcast episode ryan you know it has been an interesting experience uh can't wait to learn more in the comment section below for you to point out everything and search it up in google and be like no now i know that a response will probably

be like you shouldn't have to search this stuff up in google it's just common knowledge i can't i can't wait to see all the like little high schoolers that just learned this stuff in the comments be like, Actually. Literally that. And be like, guys, we don't know a lot about stuff, but maybe, Ryan, maybe we should start learning more. We should probably enroll in community college classes around here. Yeah, so let's actually go do that right now. Okay, just kidding, because it's America,

and college is fucking expensive. So we don't want to be put in debt. We're trying to make money, not lose money. All right, guys, so this has been another episode of Super Mega Cast. We hope that you have been enjoying our podcast so far. If not, unsubscribe and dislike the video. Or, well, I mean, you can also enjoy the other videos.

Yeah, Ryan likes to watch YouTube in the shower.

I like to take my phone in the shower. It's a bit odd, but you've actually got me to start doing it. Really? Yeah, I've been doing that a lot more. But I dropped it the other day and it got all wet and now it's all messed up. Well, that's human error. Yeah, it's just human error. Alright guys, so that is the end of this one. We love you so much.
