Welcome, welcome, welcome, welcome to another episode of the Super Mega Cast.
I almost forgot the name.
You almost did, man.
Sorry.
350 plus episodes. You can't be forgetting the name at this point.
I know. I mean, it's our podcast. We started this together.
You'd think it's, there's anything I should just have just right up there.
Just the names of, you know, my shows, business.
I mean, it's pretty easy.
It's just super mega podcast.
It's just combined.
I blank on it too sometimes.
But, I mean, you'll be happy to know.
I'm a bit of a trendsetter today.
Usually I don't care about fashion, but today I'm taking a stance.
Mismatched socks.
One gray, one black.
High as well. Not low socks. You gray, one black. High as well.
Not low socks.
You've got those up the calf, man.
You've got a black sock and you've got a gray sock?
I do. Dude, you gotta be careful, man. That's what's cool. Dad bods
were cool at one point. You know,
this is this. Specifically
gray and black socks. Dude, the
fashion police might kick down the door any second.
I bet you there are like
at least anywhere from like
10,000 to 2 million people
that are listening to this
right now
that have mismatched gray
and black socks on
because it's just a part of,
people aren't even aware
it's the trend.
It's because,
you know you're not really aware
of a trend right at the start of it?
Yeah.
That's when it's the coolest.
That's what's happening right now
and I can't help but notice, Matthew,
that your socks...
No, what about them?
...are matching.
Someone's a little behind the fashion times, it looks like.
Okay, you know what? Sure.
Matt Watson, known for his fashion out of the two.
Dude, now lagging behind?
No, man.
Okay, yeah, look, I'm wearing matching socks today, all right?
I've got two black ones on.
But here's the thing.
I didn't know the trend was starting.
You know, I...
But I'm still in on the ground floor.
It's not too late.
I can mismatch socks.
In fact, maybe, who knows?
Maybe when we take our first break on this episode,
maybe I'll go get a different sock on one of these feet.
Okay. You don't know. Maybe I will.
I won't even point it out. Maybe you'll have to notice it.
I'm just saying it's
trendy right now.
It is. You know, I bet
Justin was wearing mismatched socks. He's got
one Sonic and one Knuckles or one Sonic
and one Tails sock.
Which one is it? That's a little bit of
a gray area with Justin. Because, yeah,
they're mismatched colors, but they're still the
same style. True. He's wearing two
different Sonic the Hedgehog character socks.
Well, I think these are two different MeUndies
brand socks.
But they're still different colors.
Mismatching is based on
colors as well. Yeah.
But if you really want to, like, upset
the norms,
you need two completely different socks. Maybe one fuzzy one fuzzy long one one short just regular like hanes oh shit yeah that that
would that would really uh upset the establishment how i'm interested your fashion journey because i
remember you moved out here you You dressed like every South Carolina.
Well, not every South Carolina.
You dressed like a boy, you know?
You just dressed like a 19-year-old boy.
My Breaking Bad pixel art t-shirt.
I still dress like a 19-year-old boy.
You dress like a 19-year-old man.
Exactly, yes.
I like that.
Yeah.
What got you into, like, exploring more with, more with like fashion shit was it just simply
like being out here in LA people seem like to care definitely a lot more about their appearance
but you're also from Charleston which is like I would say like the more uppity part of South
Carolina in terms of like when when it comes to fashion or or pricing when it's trendy yeah it's
trendy and it's pricey.
I don't know.
I mean, I don't really think I'm that fashionable to begin with.
I'm kind of just dressing like a regular old dude.
But you started to care about what you wear.
Yeah.
You care about what you wear?
I don't know.
The foundation I'm starting don't, you know.
Okay.
It's a cool foundation.
I like it.
Thank you.
I haven't figured out what it's about, but I just like the name it's well clearly you're becoming a fashion trendsetter you got to start
a foundation for it yeah see uh no I just I just think clothes are cool you know so I was like uh
in a straight way uh and you know I was like you know I think LA has a lot of really cool
thrift shops with a lot of different things so you know it's like but it's fashion in general
because it's not just clothes like you you pierced an ear you've dyed your hair and stuff do you feel like
that was just like a part of like being that age and like in your early 20s no i mean i dyed my
hair less than a year ago so um no i'm saying like that like you still like these are things that now
you think of that you wouldn't have thought of like back when you lived in South Carolina oh yeah first moved out here I guess I don't know I think part of it is just
becoming more comfortable with yourself it's it's fun to kind of like play around with appearance
stuff because also like I feel like piercing an ear and bleaching my hair at 40 is a bit of a
different vibe from trying it out in my 20s.
There are people who still do it.
No, there's nothing wrong with doing it.
I'm just saying, like, you know, I, you know, in my 20s,
that's a good chance to kind of play around with your appearance and see what you like, you know.
And I liked having bleached hair.
It's still technically bleached.
I just dyed it back to brown.
For a smaller scale, it was like, I'm young, so I'm going to, you know so if I shave my head, it grows back in a year.
And I'm just going to be, what, like 26 by then?
You know, now time has passed.
No, I think it's fun.
Clothing is a way to express yourself.
So it's fun.
I feel like I've had several different phases of the types of clothes I've worn.
I guess my problem is, like, I'm... Tell and tell me if like it's the same for you.
Like I like what what is the mindset?
Because like I guess the reason that gets me into not where like going outside of my comfort zone with clothes usually is just because like this is comfortable.
Yeah. And usually, typically I'm like other clothes that let's say, let's say the Queer Eye boys, the Queer Eye queers come in, you know, it's, it's, it's, it's, it's pride month and they want to liven up my life as a straight man. disgusting straight piece of shit we're gonna use our fantastic powers on you uh and we're gonna
change your life i feel like the clothes that tan i think his name is would choose for me
still i'd just be like oh yeah i'd look at my gut and it's probably some polo with stripes that he
has me tuck in a little bit as well the french French tuck? Yeah, the French tuck. He loves the French tuck. Gotta love the French tuck.
But it's just like,
if I'm not confident in the way I look,
it's hard for me to be confident
in picking out clothes that I know,
even though I like that shirt,
it's like, I'm not gonna look good in that shirt.
No, it's not true though.
You will look good in something.
You're just looking at yourself
through a critical lens.
Because everyone looks at themselves through a much more critical lens than the rest of the world does.
But you have a nice body for displaying shirts and stuff.
I feel like mine has peaks and valleys, you know?
Everyone's body has peaks and valleys.
Everyone has a crevasse here or there, dude.
I've got a little crevasse.
You've got a nice little crevasse from my experience.
You've got a tight little crevasse, don't I?
I appreciate that. But what I'm saying
is you know
I think that you look at yourself
too critically when
we all do. If there's a shirt that you like
except for Derek who's listening
Derek you know has a bit of a
narcissism issue so he can't
see himself through any kind of critical lens which is
a very big character flaw but
Derek you know we don't even need to address that anymore he's in his early 20s or like you know
so like that's just like he just started there he thinks like he's the smartest one in the room as
you do in your early 20s um that's just what it is he read art of the deal and now he's just
fucking you know thinking he runs every room that he walks into but But not to, not to divorce, sorry. And I don't want to apologize,
but Derek,
just get on that.
It's,
it's going to be at least a late twenties realization for him.
And by then,
most of the people he loves will have left him.
But you do,
you look great when you rock anything,
man.
Like you also,
here's the big thing about clothes,
dude.
Doesn't even matter how good it looks.
It's all about the confidence when you rock it.
See, if you put something on and you're like, I like this and I'm going to rock this.
You got it, man.
I've put in a little, I have a little more confidence because working out and stuff.
You look great.
I still have a little bit of tittage.
Like, I feel like my chest and like upper body area is definitely like a lot less flabby and like I'm a lot
It is. Whatever. Thanks man. But dude
just different body types
you're probably always this
I just love
I love snacking
I love snacking dude. I love
donuts. I love candy. I love
baked goods. I love eating fried
shit. I love bread.
I love cheese. I love eating fried shit. I love bread. I love cheese.
I love all of that.
Why does all the good shit have to be bad for you, huh?
I don't know.
Like, why is it everything that your body craves is bad?
Just grill some lettuce.
Fuck, I...
Grill some cabbage.
Hell no.
I ain't gonna grill no damn cabbage.
No, but here's what I can promise you.
I have never once seen you put on a shirt
and i have yeah you have plenty of times no but i've never once when you've put on a shirt or
anything i have i swear to christ on my mother's name grave name well she's alive on my mother's
name my sweet my sweet mother's holy name like sure on my mother's life i have never
once looked at you in a shirt and gone oh i can see his moves or oh i can see his belly i've never
noticed or thought and i guarantee you 99 i've never noticed 99 of people don't either yo of
course i'm self-conscious about how scrawny my arms are when I wear like certain t-shirts. When I walk around, I am never like focusing on like the weight or the stomach.
Exactly.
Or like the jawline of like other people.
So like, again, you know, it comes back to like self-confidence.
Yeah.
But it's, I think a lot of it has to do with probably like getting to my peak physical uh not of course like
my peak but like the best that i've ever been in with the boxing stuff which is over a year ago at
this point sure and then with the back injury i couldn't like work out and so i just snacked and
i just got a stomach again and like a part of me is just like just like fuck damn it i feel a little the same way remember how i was where i
was like if i ever weigh over like if i ever weigh what i weighed again like you asked me to kill you
yeah i'm like kill me i'm like i'm gonna like but you're not there yet you're you're far from that
still no also it's all relative dude because like if you sure okay you could compare yourself to how
you look to creator clash i do the same thing and i look in i looked in the mirror last night before i went to bed i didn't
have my shirt on and i went god damn it because i lost 15 pounds of muscle yeah from that but we
were like training constantly and i've actually gained some of the weight back and this time it's
fat because i see it on my stomach you you like right you like having a little bit of fat not
where it's distributed it's not in my arms or whatever it's in my fucking stomach so it's like remember back when you like grabbed a little like sliver
of your skin and you were like look at this no dude i mean i can i got a little uh i mean it's
all relative but uh you know i'm starting to hit that late 20s metabolism slowing my tummy's
getting pudgy now and so are my nipples not Not my nipples, but to do extra work.
I know.
But what I'm saying is it's relative because if you compare yourself to how you looked
when we shot my two lovely uncles right now.
True.
Yeah.
That was crazy.
I think that's the biggest I ever was.
I think.
I think so too.
Of course.
And even dude,
but you weren't even that big then.
That's the thing.
Like,
it's not like I was,
I was a round boy.
I was, you were hefty but
like i was a hefty man i would not look at you and go you're fat from that video because you're
american true if i was european i'd go oh place me in my two uh lucky uncles my two lucky uncles
i guess they were lucky they went a trip to trip to Syria. I know. Well, then unlucky because of the drone strike.
But they went to heaven with a lawsuit.
Yeah.
What was I on about?
If you were placed, I'm guessing what you were going to say is if you were placed in a European country.
If I was placed in, place me in Japan.
Maybe they'd love me.
Look at this goofy white boy.
They'd say, oh, big boy.
And they'd all start pinching yourself.
Look at this goofy white boy.
They'd say, oh, big boy.
And they'd all start pinching your socks.
Like I'm on some fucking, like I just landed on an alien planet.
Everyone's taking pictures with you.
Okay, yeah, but I mean, like, Japan is not a good example.
Well, I think so.
They judge people pretty harshly there.
Yeah, they do judge people very harshly for appearances.
Especially their weight.
But is that also like genetics?
You don't see a lot of fat Japanese people at all.
Don't you think that like... Do you think it's more culture and diet?
It could be like culture and diet.
I think about their diet.
There's a thing with genetics too, but like I think it does like a large part of it does have to come down to, like, a cultural aspect, of course, because it's...
Well, what's that classic, like, saying where you don't want to stick out in Japan or something like that?
Oh, a bent...
Something about a nail gets the hammer.
Yeah.
You know?
So, like, a nail that sticks out gets hammered down.
Something like that.
So, I mean...
But then again, like, we're... Japanapan isn't i don't want to get the
idea across like it's like a north korea and just kind of like everyone's like if you're a big boy
they are i still like i remember hearing that people telling me that and like to thank you
but to to an extent people in japan like when i when i visited there were college students out
drinking and yelling and you you know, having fun.
There were people dressed up in odd clothing.
It seems just like just another place.
Yeah.
I get that saying, but I do feel like, you know, you drop a typical, you know, American in there who might have a bit of a stomach and they're going to go, ooh, they're going to go.
All of them. They're going to slap it like it's Buddha's belly. and they're gonna go, ooh, they're gonna go all of them. They're gonna slap it
like it's Buddha's belly. They're gonna go, damn, that's
a big belly. This boy's
eaten. But they'll say it in Japanese
snickering behind your back so you can't tell
what they're saying.
But, you know, I think Japan
is essentially North Korea for big boys.
Yeah, okay.
How do you think you would look in North Korea?
I'd probably look like a fucking troll.
We should go to North Korea.
They'd think I'm a mountain troll.
Like, I got out of my cave.
I really, you know, SuperMega does North Korea.
I'm waiting for your approval.
I've been asking for years.
I can already see the stories now.
The headlines?
Like, it's like...
YouTubers arrested, detained in North Korea.
I'm the illegitimate, child of south korea's president who escaped and like they abandoned and
so i took foothills in like the or i took a footing in the hills of uh north korea and i'm
like some urban legend but i just look like but i'm just this maybe without a shirt on and i'd
be battered and dirty in these clothes whatever I'm wearing instead of the mismatched socks of course I'd still be a little fashionista I do
think that uh it would be great publicity for our YouTube channel if we got detained in North Korea
we could probably come back look at the last American that got caught by North Korea they
sent him back in a coma and he died hours later but still i mean the thing is there'd be lots of if we got
kidnapped there'd probably be like petitions online like sign this petition to uh it's like
help bring home youtubers matt and ryan from north korea and if it gets enough signatures
kim jong-un has to do it but the last big public you know know, hurrah, I guess.
It wasn't really a hurrah North Korea had in terms of experience of like a hostage or someone committing a crime, right?
Was that, yeah, that was North Korea.
They brought back some dude who was brain dead.
That's what I was talking about.
They kept him prisoner and then they're like, all right, he can go home now.
But he was in a coma from being beaten so bad.
I mean, he died right after getting home.
I feel like they like beat him too bad by accident.
Like, oh, yeah, he can go now.
Was it important, do you think, for North Korea that he died in America?
Yeah, probably.
Yeah.
So they're like, oh, fuck.
Because if he died in North Korea, that would have been, probably. Yeah. So they're like, oh, fuck. Because if he died
in North Korea,
that would have been
really bad.
Yeah.
That would have been
equivalent,
because that would have
been seen as
like a war crime.
What would have been
they executed an American.
Yeah.
Even if they didn't
directly like shoot him
or something,
if they beat him bad enough
that he then died.
Why wasn't there
more of a hullabaloo,
I guess?
Was it because
it was like
some white tourist that did something stupid in a country that he shouldn Was it because it was like some white tourist
that did something stupid
in a country that he shouldn't have?
And it's like...
Well, apparently,
I mean, I've seen a lot of things
that he might not have even done that.
He was framed.
Yeah.
Because they wanted a thing.
So like,
because I mean,
the only evidence
is that security camera footage
and it's really fucking
hard to see what's even happening.
It's like a silhouette of a guy
taking a poster off
a wall down the end of a hallway. And fun facts about North Korea with Matt Watson coming after

and fun-iest.
Funnest?
They're very funny.
Yeah.
North Korea facts.
That's right.
Maybe instead of North Korea fun facts, North Korea funny facts.
North Korea funny facts.
I've got a lot of funny facts about the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
Do you know that's what that stood for?
The DPRK?
It's the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
They don't want you to know that because they don't want you to know that it's a democracy.
Exactly.
It's actually a free nation. Well, America lies. You you know all you have to do is look at the name it says
democratic so america makes up all this all these bullshit lies about north korea that it's a
dictatorship but i've got some fun facts that i'm gonna pull from my brain that i have learned over
my years of studying north korea not from my smartphone i'm excited to hear these well listen
to this yes do you know that north that North Korea has its own timeline?
What?
That's right.
They aren't in the year 2022.
What year are they in?
111.
And it's not 2022 right now.
No.
Right.
They're in year 112.
It's 2023.
The current year is 2023.
The article I'm reading from says 2022.
Yeah.
Even though it says published in 2023.
Go on. Go on.
Go on. Might have to like workshop it.
North Korea started using its own calendar in 1912
when the country was founded.
Now it's
Juche 112. That's the year.
It's year
112 there. Damn.
Right. It's only 112. Isn't that crazy?
Really? Because they started their own
calendar because they but when we're making like business deal i guess like uh i don't think we're
making business deals when they when they have to go to a summit or some shit i'm guessing
they're just like oh this is blank time fake time. Fake time. In fake time, we're going there.
Yeah, they have to convert it to the bullshit.
Just like how when you and I go to foreign countries,
we have to convert miles into bullshit kilometers.
Which is ridiculous.
You know, I just want to see how many miles
I have to walk my little eggs.
I don't know how many kilometers I'm taking them.
Fuck kilometers, man. Five kilometer eggs, seven kilometer eggs.
Two kilometer eggs in Pokemon Go. Come on.
Come on! Isn't that bullshit?
Yeah, Pokemon Go uses kilometers, so it's like
you need to walk five kilometers.
Bitch, I don't know what a kilometer is.
Get out of here. Kilometer? What is this?
Yeah, I'd rather, I'd kill a man
over using metric. Exactly.
Anyway,
North Korea has bizarre internet rules, Ryan You can only visit 28 websites in North Korea
YouTube?
Nope
Facebook?
Not the Facebook either
Twitter?
Nope
Pornhub?
No
They'll put you in jail for that
Not even Reddit
4chan
Yes, you can visit 4chan
Really?
No, you can't visit 4chan in fucking North Korea.
But a lot of people don't have computers in North Korea, so.
Why?
They're expensive in North Korea.
Well, hell, they're expensive here.
So just work hard for them.
You see those NVIDIA computer chips, how expensive those shits are?
So what, are they allergic to hard work?
Yeah, in North Korea, they are allergic to hard work.
They wouldn't know hard work if it f***ed them in the ass.
Did you know North Korea has the world's largest stadium, Ryan?
Ooh.
Pyeongchang?
Pyongyang.
Pyongyang?
Close.
Who's Pyeongchang?
Pyeongchang is nobody.
Oh, I'm sure there's a guy named Pyeongchang out there.
I guarantee that there's a Korean man named Pyeongchang.
But Pyongyang, yeah.
I'm looking up Pyeongchang just to see.
They built it that big deliberately to outsize South Korea's Olympic Stadium.
To like one-up them.
North Korea, I don't think the Olympics will be coming to your country anytime soon.
So the stadium might have been a little
bit of, you know, overkill, but...
There's this guy.
Pyo Chang Won.
You know, it's not...
Close enough.
Yeah.
So, you know, Pyeongchang.
I mean, there's probably a guy watching this.
Actually, there's probably a...
There's also definitely a city named Pyeongchang.
Pyongyang is a sick city name.
Pyongyang.
I love it.
It's fun to say.
Or a person's name.
Someone's going to probably at me or at you on Twitter at some point.
They're like, oh my God, guys.
When I heard you guys say my name on the podcast, my name is Pyeongchang.
And they're going to change their Twitter name to make it look like their name is Pyeongchang.
I don't want to see a bunch of Pyeongchangs out there, guys, after this episode. Only real Pyeongchangs. And they're going to change their Twitter name to make it look like their name is Pyeongchang. I don't want to see a bunch of Pyeongchangs out there, guys, after this episode.
Only real Pyeongchangs.
If they exist.
Alright, this fact's actually pretty sick.
North Korea has their own basketball rules.
North Koreans hate losing.
So instead of following well-established international laws
and conventions, they often decide to make up their own rules.
One example is basketball.
And you might be surprised when we tell you that North Korea
has its own rules for the sport. Kim Jong-il is an avid basketball player. Does anyone else
remember the dictator's enduring friendship with Dennis Rodman? But he decided that he can improve
the rules of basketball. So, of course, he rewrote them. Slam dunks are worth three points. Three
pointers are worth four points if it's nothing but net. One point is deducted for every missed
free throw. And any field goal made
in the last three seconds
is worth eight points,
and games can end in a tie.
This feels like if a child
rewrote the rules.
So they could win more?
What if we dunked a lot?
Yeah.
Like, I want to see them dunk.
We should make dunking a bonus.
And they just dunk a shit ton.
And that's it.
That's the whole game
is just people trying to dunk.
Because he thinks dunking is so to dunk. We should, uh...
Because he thinks dunking is so fucking cool.
We should do a YouTube, like, YouTuber's basketball championship
and only play by North Korean rules.
Uh, can you see, actually, can you look this up?
Because he changed the rules.
How tall is the net?
Mm, do you think it's shorter?
How tall is net basketball North Korea?
Same height?
Yeah, it's the same height still.
Okay.
Well, that's disappointing.
I hope that they would play, like, playground height, you know?
Wait, on mopedarmy.com, I found a thread titled,
Do North Koreans Use Regulation Height Basketball Hoops?
They Keep Sending Dennis Rodman Back.
I Told Kim Jong-un That He Could Keep Him As A Pet.
That's all it says.
There's no, okay, sorry.
I thought that it would have an answer.
Nope.
Nope, unfortunately not. All right, I've got a few more North Korean facts for sorry. I thought that it would have an answer. Nope. Nope.
Unfortunately not.
Ryan, I've got a few more North Korean facts for you.
Well, good, because I want to hear them. They use wood-burning cars?
What?
What?
Wood-burning cars?
I feel like...
As in, like, to move?
They burn wood?
Like a steam engine.
Like a choo-choo train.
Okay, this one is true.
I've seen this.
They have a list of state-approved
haircuts, and you can only cut your hair in one
of these 28 state-approved haircuts.
So, like, your hair has
to be state-regulated.
What if your barber fucks
it up?
Does he die, too?
Sorry, but I don't think... Because he gave you an illegal haircut.
I don't think you're going to be able to mismatch
those socks over in Pyongyang. Well, that's why I'm an urban myth. That's why I'm really scary to them, but I don't think you an illegal haircut. I don't think you're gonna be able to mismatch those socks over in Pyongyang
Well, that's why I'm an urban myth
Yeah, I'm really scary to them because I break the the
Societal norms of North Korea. Well, you know why you wouldn't be allowed over there Ryan laying with my mismatched socks blue jeans are illegal
Can't wear you can't wear your classic Ryan McGee blue jeans fuck. Yeah. Oh
Can't wear your classic Ryan McGee blue jeans.
Fuck.
Yeah.
Oh, shit.
My classic washed blue jeans.
Your classic washed blue jeans.
The Ryan McGee washed blue jeans.
Fuck.
Yeah, that would be very unfortunate.
At least gym shorts aren't illegal over there.
True.
Oh, they love basketball.
Maybe sweatshorts is a little bit of a, like, oh, all that.
I don't know.
Some sort of shorts, I'm sure, I don't know. Some sort of shorts,
I'm sure,
you know.
They don't have traffic lights.
They have people that stand in the intersection and are the human traffic lights.
Even if there's no cars,
they still have to do it on time.
Because.
Do they not have enough money to?
No,
they just,
that's how they do it.
There's like a, someone will stand on the intersection with like,
and like wave,
like if it's time to go or stop.
And even if there's no cars for like an hour, they still stand there doing it on the, on the, on the intersection and wave if it's time to go or stop.
And even if there's no cars for like an hour, they still stand there doing it on the dot.
Kim Jong-un's been to America, right?
I think so, yeah.
I mean, he grew up.
Kim Jong-un went to school in Sweden.
He lived in the West.
Sweden then. Yeah, but his family is very very rich so he lived in luxury in the west
he went to like a regular college uh there's a lot of people that were friends with him in college
that like have been interviewed talk about he was just this regular dude loved playing basketball
loved rap music like he was very like westernized and then he got called back to north korea and to North Korea and was like... Daddy died? Yeah. Daddy died. Mommy cried. God.
His ugly dad. Hey!
He's fucking handsome
as hell. Okay, Kim Il-sung?
Handsome motherfucker. His son, Kim Jong-
Kim Jong-il? Mm-mm. No.
No. No. Those glasses ain't doing him any favors
either. It is unfortunate
because, like, actually, Kim
Il-sung kind of had, like, that... He had a
very, like, handsome charisma about him, you know he was the the generalissimo he was the strong powerful like a
Mao Zedong you know just a very very charismatic if we're talking about handsome Mao Zedong he's
the most handsome guy in the world like if I could think of the most handsome haircut in the world
it would be Mao Zedong give me the Mao Zedong I want to go to the barber and say yeah give me the old Mao give me I'd have to I'd state beforehand give me the non-racist Mao Zedong
exactly Mao Zedong made for a white man the white man's Mao Zedong yes we should go do that for a
video uh two white guys get the non-racist Mao Zedong haircut. Challenge. Challenge.
Dude, I would love to go to a barber and say,
I want you to try your hardest to give me the exact, like,
you could put some stuff in it to style it up,
but give me the exact Mao Zedong.
He did have a crazy-ass haircut.
I mean.
He had a crazy haircut.
What's funny is about a lot of these world rulers, like very famous dictators,
they, they have something stylistically different to set them apart that nobody else has.
Is his haircut really not used anymore because, or do you think that was in of itself?
Yeah.
Maybe, maybe it's not like he was the only one.
Maybe it's just now people don't, I don't know.
He's still a beloved figure to a lot of people.
Mao is a very beloved figure to lots of people.
Still in this day and age. Yeah, I'm fucking idiots.
What?
Dude. Come on, don't talk about
Chairman Mao like that.
Yeah.
You're talking about the
Charlie Chaplin mustache. Yeah.
The box mustache. I'm reclaiming it. Okay.
I'm not going to let him take that beautiful mustache The box mustache. I'm reclaiming it. Okay. I'm not going to let him
take that beautiful mustache
away from us.
I'm reclaiming it.
Although one of the most
popular gags
that we've even used before
is the whole
Charlie Chaplin
and Hitler,
you know.
You show up to like
a costume party
as Charlie Chaplin.
Everyone's like,
what are you?
What the fuck?
Dude,
what's that guy dressed up
Like Hitler
No it's Charlie Chaplin
Oh
Yeah I'm looking at
Mal's haircut right now
Dude
You gotta make sure
You have that top hat
If you're Charlie
Is it a top hat
Or a bowler hat
It's a bowler hat
Okay
It's you know
It was round
Yeah
Beautiful beautiful hat
Maybe put a little
Eyeliner on too
Just to
Drive home the point
That you're Charlie Chaplin.
You know who didn't wear many hats?
Who?
George Costanza.
Yeah, George Costanza didn't wear that many hats.
You're right.
What's that about?
Fuck that guy, man.
Look at that haircut.
It's like, it's like Cricketoon, isn't it?
It's like, he looks like an think of like
an old grandmother
who's balding
that's the type of hair
do I feel like
she would do
like if your grandmother
was balding
that's what she would look like
I'm looking at pictures
of him over the years
and it's really just like
he's always kind of
had the same haircut
but his hairline
just started going back
and he didn't
change anything else
so he just let it just like
all right he looks like he's wearing makeup in this picture he was not uh
for someone who you know was directly responsible for the deaths of like 50 to 60 million people
he did have a fly ass haircut. Oh dude. Oh yeah.
My favorite Mao Zedong moment is when he,
uh,
he saw like some locusts eating some,
like on a plant.
And he was like,
no,
no, no.
He saw,
he saw like a bird,
a certain type of bird on a plant and was like,
that bird's eating the plants.
All right.
Nationwide mandate.
Everyone killed this bird.
Really?
What was eating the plants was the locusts and
then the birds were eating the locusts ecosystem and then there was a famine that killed millions
of people because of that oops well he's a smart man he go birdie plant maybe i wish we still had
that type of like that was the type of like political thing that politicians did so biden's
like i want everyone america to kill this bird. This bird's eating our crops.
If you see it, shoot it.
And everyone just starts killing this one bird.
They're all, well, they're
trying to let the they-thems
into our restrooms, so
not far from it, are we? I'll tell you
what, exactly right. It's like
idiocracy come to life. That's right.
Next we're going to be feeding
our plants Gatorade.
I haven't seen that movie in ages.
I have never seen it all the way through.
I saw it on part on Comedy Central.
Terry Crews is president.
Yep.
Right?
Luke Wilson is the main character.
Right?
Isn't it Luke Wilson?
Is it not Luke Wilson?
The whole thing is like they're feeding their plants like the equivalent of Gatorade.
Right?
And then like the plants aren't really growing. And then the whole thing is just they're feeding their plants like the equivalent of Gatorade, right? And then like the plants aren't really growing.
And then the whole thing is just a takedown on capitalism.
I mean, yeah, just strictly capitalism and America.
I remember like during the Trump years, I saw so many tweets.
It's like, we're literally living in idiocracy.
You're going to see that every every election cycle people are gonna be like
now the other side is really getting crazy when really they've i think i i feel like it's gotten
crazier in terms of more noise because of the internet and shit like that but politicians
have always been saying stupid shit and doing stupid shit they have i mean now they just have the capability of doing it whenever the fuck they want they don't have to
like there's gone are the days of like where you would see the president on tv every now and then
give an address and now we're in the we're in the beautiful times where the president can have a
youtube channel if he wants the president can pull a will smith for example he could he could have a twitter
and tweet out whatever he whatever he's thinking welcome to joe vlogs he could he could today we're
trying 15 different japanese snacks i'm waiting for our youtuber president what president is gonna
markiplier didn't obama do like sketches and stuff obama. Yeah, he was in some some stuff. I remember Obama was in a bunch of videos with fucking Adam Devine.
Adam Devine.
I don't know.
I still know how to say it.
Biden was.
I'm sorry.
I think Biden was on Workaholics, actually.
Well, it makes sense because Biden was also in Biden and Jill.
And I think Gingrich and a bunch of fucking politicians.
We're in, what is it, parks and recreation.
Yeah.
See, I need more celebrity.
I need my president doing more cameos.
I want Joe Biden to be on more sitcoms.
That's what we need.
Makes him relatable.
If he wants to win the fucking 2024 presidential election,
we need him on fucking sitcoms.
I want him to do a voice on regular shows.
Can we get Michelle Obama dancing on Ellen?
I need more of this shit.
Ellen is dead.
Ellen 2?
Ellen 2's been doing a good job.
Ellen 2 has done a pretty good job as the replacement, right?
Like, a lot of people were a bit standoffish with Ellen too at first because technology,
we're like, there's no way technology has gone this far.
There's no way science has even gone this far.
But granted, the first episode was a bit of a mishap.
Sure.
It was spoken in mostly broken English, but I think the second, third, and fifth episode
are highlights so far of the season well it wasn't
just the broken English it was that there was I guess some technical glitch where the accent
Ellen too would was doing the accent yeah you know which you know people were very confused by and
it was very very offensive honestly I'm guessing that like AI or whatever it was because they're
promoting like the new like Black Panther Wakanda Forever
so like it just seemed a bit you could understand where the technical issue started right but having
Ellen too who is white white I think that that was part of you know the issue is because people
were like okay so we've got an AI Ellen I don't know if this is gonna work and it started off
pretty strong but then when when the promotion of the new Black Panther started,
I guess the wires got crossed,
and then Ellen 2 started doing the whole voice.
Ellen 2 then...
Good job with the voice.
I mean, the accent was really accurate.
I mean, because it's ripping it directly from the movie,
essentially, right?
Right, right.
To learn it.
I think, you know,
I mean, it threw in a lot of abombes in there.
The crowd chanted it back.
The crowd seemed to dig it.
I think they maybe were confused on, it was like, is this?
Or maybe they were like, well, we're on the Ellen show.
What are we going to not, are we going to just stay silent?
Yeah, then we'll look at the sticks in the mud.
We're going to just pause and laugh.
We've got to keep the energy up.
They'll do whatever that damn sign says.
Well, whatever.
Long story short, Ellen 2.
Seems it's going well now. And also, it's...
I do
understand some of the controversy with the fact that
it's a government-funded thing because
I'm just gonna say it. I know some people disagree,
honestly, but I think $300
billion of government
taxpayer money was a lot
to put into LN2. Yes.
I don't know if that's where the taxes need to be going, especially
you know, on the heels of a pandemic.
Could have taken some money
out of the military budget. Inflation is the highest
it's ever been, you know.
I mean, don't even talk about housing prices.
I'm just going to state again,
in case you didn't hear, military
budget could have taken a dip. There are a lot of
budgets that could have taken a little bit of
a dip. I think the military budget actually is one thing that needs to be expand more and more
which they just did thank the lord 800 something trillion dollars yeah 800 trillion dollars well
and thank god we have we have uh fucking steven bowinkle with their with their wooden shotguns
to protect us. Thank God.
Fucking hell.
Thank you, Lord.
No, I'm sorry.
I said 800 trillion.
I meant 800 billion.
Oh, okay.
Big difference.
But still, 800 billion is quite a...
It's only a matter of time
before the military budget's over a trillion dollars.
Oh, 800 trillion instead of 800 billion?
I was being sarcastic at first.
I think those wooden guns will do just fine.
Well, the military budget, most of it goes towards contractors upcharging.
Like, more than half of it is just because of contractors upcharging.
So it's just getting thrown away.
Are you saying when you base a society off of Nimman...
Spit! Talk your shit, Ryan!
Talk your shit, white boy.
No, man. You know why?
Why?
You're scared of criticizing
the military infrastructure, aren't you?
Because
we're part of the problem.

Sorry everyone We are back
Justin I guess thought that this was
His personal break room
Yeah
Which it is not
It's not
It's the podcast set
We don't use it for anything else
Except for Q&As recently.
And it's really not, you know.
And we were in the middle of an episode.
He knew that we were recording.
He might have thought we were done.
Remember that one time we took like a 30-minute break
and he thought we were done, so he came in here
and he had therapy on the phone with his therapist.
Didn't realize it was recording.
We should put that on Patreon, by the way.
As like a bonus episode.
There was also that one time he came in and he...
We went out to go grab something.
He didn't think anyone was in the office.
He thought he was by himself.
Well, he was by himself in the office.
He just forgot that the...
He didn't realize the cameras and mics were rolling.
Because we didn't have the screen on and the cameras don't really...
They don't have a red light to signify whether they're recording or not.
And they're always set up like this.
So it's a mistake that could happen to any of us, honestly.
I don't know if we could do Patreon for that one.
We could.
Oh, we are at 18 plus, technically.
We're not.
They switched us back.
Patreon, like we put, there are actual penises on our Patreon.
Stuff like that.
And for instance, if you're watching this on patreon
here's a penis uh but basically you know we were set to 18 plus because we show stuff like like
that penis that was just on screen for patreon viewers um but then patreon emailed us we're like
we reverted you back no no need and we were like like, okay. Well, just to be clear, we put some pretty adult
shit on the Patreon. They're like, it's fine.
So, it's on them. They can't come
to us and take down our whole shit
because there was a penis.
What? Speaking of penises,
Jim, what's up?
Open that door. What's up, Jimmy? He's holding a bag
of hot dogs.
I told you, if there's no ketchup. If there's no ketchup, no.
I can't eat a freaking
sausage. It's important for a hot dog to have ketchup.
No. Mustard and mayo?
Ketchup is so important to a hot dog, Jim.
They look spicy. Are those
spicy sausages?
They're smoked. They're hot Louisiana.
Hot Louisiana.
Ketchup.
It's a fundamental
condiment to have with these suckers.
Babies.
I can't eat a freaking wiener without no ketchup, brother.
I'm sorry.
That's just the way it is.
Why are you looking at me like I'm crazy, dude?
Most people, like the condiments that usually come with a hot dog are mustard and ketchup.
And you're like, mustard and mayonnaise?
I'm going to mix those two together.
You know what those two
flavor combinations are? It would be a deviled egg
hot dog.
Honestly? We have relish too
so that's extra deviled egg.
We got any hard boiled eggs? Actually they
sell them at 7-Eleven in little bags
we could go grab some. I call the juice
smush them up.
If you have the egg I call the juice in it. I'll run to 7-Eleven we little bags. We could go grab some. I call the juice. Smush them up. If you have the egg, I call the juice in it.
I'll run to 7-Eleven.
We can do a deviled egg hot dog.
Now, Jim, I want to preface.
For realsies, don't go to 7-Eleven and get hard-boiled eggs.
No, no.
There's no wink.
No wink.
Don't.
Just stay here. Stop winking. Stop. There's no. Ryan's not wink no wink don't just stay here you know don't stop there's no ryan's not
even winking back you're just if you were to go anywhere grab ketchup but since you're not going
to go do that well they sell ketchup at 7-eleven they do sell ketchup at 7-eleven but you know
hey jim if you go to 7-eleven don't buy some lottery tickets okay well you're winking directly
at me jim you're winking directly at me Jim You're winking directly at me
He's winking at me
It makes me think that we're just not on the same page
Granted I don't know if you still have a kidney stone or not
So maybe there's like a little bit of like a twinge of like
Of pain
Yeah I think the wink is just
He's like ah
Yeah so uh
Just do whatever
Fill your belly
Make you happy
Hey Jim and if you do go to 7-Eleven
Make it snappy So we can open those.
We can scratch those lottery tickets on the after show.
Okay.
Yeah, I'll go grab some.
Sick.
Get a bunch.
How many is a bunch?
Do you want $1 or $5?
Get a couple ones.
Get a couple fives.
How about this?
We each have to have about five each, and then we each share a big one.
Yeah, get one of like the $30 ones.
Yeah. Okay. How about five each, and then we each share a big one? Yeah, get one of like the $30 ones.
Yeah.
Hopefully he doesn't get lottery tickets where you have to wait for the numbers to be revealed.
No.
He's going to get scratch-offs, right?
But, you know, this is kind of a prank on Jim, because he's going to go.
You can't buy lottery tickets with a credit card.
So he can't use the company card. He's going gonna have to use his own fucking money. And he's gonna
hope we pay him back, but
mm-mm. We'll pay him back if we win.
I gotta, I gotta... Then what's the point
of getting the cards?
Yeah, we'll keep the money. Yeah, okay, good.
Well, guys, later, you know,
after this episode ends, on the
After Hours version of the episode, which for those who don't know, the After Hours is a segment the on the after hours version of the episode
which for those who don't know the after hours is a segment that we hold after the podcast every
episode it's its own thing and it's uploaded to our patreon it's just an after after discussion
after the podcast maybe we talk for you know deeper into into things that we talked about
on the podcast previously or we just it's like a little mini podcast it's just more more epic
conversation more ramblings.
It's pretty fun though. We also have Uncle Sleepover.
And you might be thinking, oh, they're bringing up all this end shit.
Is this the end of the podcast? It's not. It's not the end of the podcast.
No, we're just
making sure you know where to find
the goods. The goods.
They're locked away in a little
treasure chest. You need five big greens for that.
Just five big greens. I mean, you get a bunch
of bonus content. You know what I'm saying? You know, it's crazy. You get all that just five big greens i mean you get a bunch of bonus content you know what i'm saying you know it's crazy you get all the backlog bonus
content so you get a ton of that you get a bunch there's a bunch of old episodes of the mini cast
that we did when we did that well i mean also like just in general you know i see you know we we see
complaints from time to time uh this is all you guys do uh so, you know, it's a podcast.
Upload a few Let's Plays and then like a mailroom video,
a 40-minute documentary.
It's stupid shit, right?
Yeah.
And that's why we're just going to end the podcast, you know?
This is probably the last episode.
I think this is the last episode.
We don't want to be redundant, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
Oh, I get it.
We got to try something new, which is why.
We're looking into maybe doing some cooking streams.
Maybe.
As in like cooking simulator or something.
Yeah.
Yeah.
We'll be like a cooking simulator channel or like a farm.
Farmville channel.
Why don't we just play Farmville?
That might be a little too fun.
I'm thinking of...
I think there's a market for...
Think of grown men at work who hate their jobs who need white noise.
There's a market for that for sure.
What about like...
Are we not already filling that though?
I don't think so.
What about like... What about like- Are we not already filling that though? I don't think so. What about like...
What about like poker videos?
Okay. Like online poker?
Well I could uh, screen record my Blackjack app and just do like Blackjack videos.
We could like use uh, your phone mic or something. I don't know, just to change up the style.
Yeah, change is always good.
Yes.
We should just do some Blackjack- on your phone, Blackjack Let's Plays. Okay. I'll use Yes. We should just do some blackjack on your phone.
Blackjack Let's Plays.
Okay.
I'll use my phone.
I'll use my mic on my phone
to record.
We don't have to even
do audio then.
We can just film the,
if it's just the gameplay footage,
it's not really a Let's Play, right?
Blackjack apps tip videos.
Tips on blackjack apps.
What about blackjack
with Jack Black?
That's a big hit right there already that might be a fun video too
we should see if we can get jack black
to play a little blackjack
or get jack black
to play
blackjack
which is just
jack black and blackface
I was thinking of jack spararrow, but black.
I mean, it's the same thing, right?
I guess.
He'd still have to do the blackface.
I'm just thinking Jack Sparrow just wouldn't be...
He wouldn't be someone in black...
It wouldn't be Jack Sparrow wearing blackface.
It would be just black Jack Sparrow.
But for Jack Black to play Black Jack,
he would need the black little mermaid.
Right.
But for Jack Black to play that character, you would have to use the makeup, right?
True.
You're right.
You're right.
You're right.
But what I'm saying is, even though we would have to use this makeup,
canonically in the film, this is just a black man.
This is Captain Jack Sparrow as a black man.
Right.
Yeah.
I don't see any issues with that.
Yeah, this isn't like
a Tropic Thunder scenario.
No.
You know, where it's like
he's obviously in black.
This one would be like
we're not making a reference
to a very like hurtful
and detrimental like physical.
We're actually committing
the character to being this character.
We're not making a joke out of it.
Couldn't you?
I can see the trailer now.
Jack Black as Black Jack.
Yeah.
It works, right?
Yeah.
Honestly, uh...
He was gonna come on the show
and then he saw this clip
and he's like,
they're joking about me doing blackface.
I'm not interacting with those guys.
I think that Mr. Jack Black
would definitely appreciate our sense of humor.
Exactly.
You know?
I think he would.
Maybe, yeah. I think he would. Do we do a lot of dick in ball jokes You know? I think you would. Maybe, yeah.
I think you would.
Do we do a lot of dick in ball jokes?
Tenacious Dizzle, dude.
I love a good Tenacious Dizzle.
He's got such a good voice.
Tribute is a song I always find myself coming back to.
I found Tribute because my sister and my dad shared an iPod video.
Remember the big ones?
Yes.
They shared one of those.
And my sister just had the music video for Tribute by Tenacious D on there.
And I watched it.
Look at your clock.
Look at my watch.
My watch dinged.
And it's...
Using your Apple Watch again?
Yeah, I'm using it.
I kind of want to use my Apple.
I want to get, like, instead of...
Remember I had a...
I like the rubber thing. Yeah. I remember I got a metal one at some point because I was like, to use my Apple. I want to get, like, instead of, remember I had a, I like the rubber thing.
I remember I got a metal one at some point because I was like, oh, you know.
I'm using it to track my sleep at night now because I'm trying to get more data about my sleep pattern.
So I'm using it to track my sleep at night.
But that was an update about Atlantic hurricane season, Ryan.
Okay.
Do we need to be careful?
Well, are we close to any Atlantic hurricane?
Today is June 1st, which is the beginning of Atlantic hurricane season 2023.
And they said it's going to be a pretty active one.
California needs to watch out.
California, you know, if the hurricane's strong enough, it'll blast all the way across the country into California.
Los Angeles did have a tropical storm.
Like, it's very rare, but it happened once.
Or one wave starts on the East Coast and goes all the way around the world like goes pat like a way
around islands comes then back around to california the hurricane goes through the panama canal yes
still sucking up the energy from the water and then up yep well actually hurricanes have crossed
over like central america and then up before i think that's not a mountain those aren't mountains
those are tidal waves those are waves
he didn't say it
with too much urgency
in that moment
he was just kinda like
those aren't mountains
those are waves
those aren't mountains
well like
when really
like in real life
like his reaction
should have been like
oh
holy shit
those are tsunami waves
those aren't mountains
we thought they were mountains
but they're actually
fucking waves
run you know that would probably be a more realistic reaction in that movie Those are tsunami waves! Those aren't mountains! We thought they were mountains, but they're actually fucking waves! Run!
You know, that would probably be a more realistic reaction in that movie.
Yeah, if I'm Matthew McConaughey and I'm on the surface of an alien ocean planet.
Knowing that the longer you stay there, the longer back on Earth time goes by.
Because it's that planet.
Every fucking second is like a day.
So you would think he wants to, no time to dilly-dally, but he's out there just like,
sees a fucking like, kilometer tall tsunami and goes, That's not a day. So you would think he wants to, no time to dilly dally, but he's out there just like, sees a fucking like,
kilometer tall tsunami and goes,
that's not a mountain.
Those are waves.
He was throwing on some rays.
Those are waves.
You know,
you know,
Anne Hathaway was out there,
you know,
doing like,
the manly work,
right?
And he's back at the ship looking after it.
And so he had to kind of like,
solidify some sort of masculine claim maybe.
And be like,
yes,
the Chad who's calm.
Because when, if he freaked out when he saw the waves zero riz yeah rizzless virgin virgin freaking out over
over tidal wave on on alien planet versus the chad you know kind of kind of real cool just
those aren't mountains whenever i thought of the term alien planet i always thought of a
planet like an alien's planet right but really just means it's a foreign planet like it it in
of itself it's not like has aliens you know that's what alien means at the end of the day
it's just alien planet right just a foreign planet but as a kid and shit, I was always like, oh, you know, they're probably referring to, you know, the alien's planet.
I bet in our lifetime.
Semantics.
I bet in our lifetime we will discover fossilized microbes on Mars.
Fossilized microbes.
Now, tell us, Matt Watson, what does that mean?
Well, you see, microbes are, you know, some of the smallest, earliest life forms on this planet.
It's in the name micro, you know.
They're microbes.
Like microcephaly.
Exactly.
Which I was born with.
Luckily, I overcame, you know.
I just willed it away.
But Mars, you know, at one point.
Needs moms.
Well, it does need moms.
Sorry, I can't stop with all these references, dude.
Oh, it's good, man.
It's a great movie.
Does it help keep your brain on track?
It really does.
It had oceans, it had rivers, and it was warm.
And it had an atmosphere, just like Earth did.
R.I.P. River Phoenix.
That's right.
Rest in peace, River Phoenix.
But I'd be willing to bet there was life on Mars,
and we'll find it in the form of fossilized microbes.
But we have to go there first
to find that stuff.
I also would be willing to bet that there
is life in this solar system
under the ice layers
of certain moons of certain planets.
Because underneath those... Like fish?
Yeah. Or just even microbes.
I just want to see an alien.
Microbes, yes, that's cool. It's still like a cool idea.
It's an alien, but it's not like... I want to see an alien. Microbes, yes, that's cool. It's still like a cool idea. It's an alien, but it's not like.
I want to see an animal.
Whatever it is, I want to see an animal.
I think that it's very possible in our solar system because think about this.
Like a thing this big, you know?
There are moons.
There's moons of Jupiter and Saturn which have complete, the whole surface is an ocean that's like 100 kilometers deep.
Yeah.
Covered by an ice sheet.
But underneath that ice sheet, at the bottom of those oceans are warm volcanic
vents.
And that's where life started on earth.
Maybe like polar bears with,
with gills might live.
Yeah.
Who knows?
There could be,
there could be fish swimming around down in there that have evolved from those,
those events.
Cause the thing is like,
like how close like i guess in this example life under ice sheets if there were like fish or whatever it would be it would most likely be fish right it would be something that would have
evolved along the same resemble fish i imagine very clearly in fact maybe not fish but just
deep sea creatures even what if we see it and we just like oh
Shit that literally just looks like yeah
If it looked just like a fish then I would then believe that well
I mean, I feel like life evolving around the universe probably follows similar patterns, right?
Yeah, I mean form follows function as they say of course, you know, and that's without us being able to see the
vast as they say. Of course, you know, and that's without us being able to see the vast potential of the universe
as it is, right?
Ever expanding.
One day, not so much.
But they sent,
so basically,
there's this one moon
called Enceladus
that was,
that's a badass name.
It is a cool,
it's a badass name.
But it has,
first of all,
it has more water
than all Earth combined.
You don't say. Underneath it. But it's shooting out water because there's like a crack so it's shooting It's a badass name, but it has, first of all, it has more water than all Earth combined.
You don't say.
Underneath it.
But it's shooting out water because there's like a crack, so it's shooting some of the ocean out into space. And they flew a probe through the water to collect a sample of it to see what's in the water.
And the water had complex molecules in it that are the same ones that formed life on Earth.
So the water already has that stuff in it so very very very possible chance and if we found but what's crazy is if we took a while
for shit to come out of the water you know what i mean though but shit was still in the water
yeah and these these like some of these things have been around for a very long time which would
be enough time for life to form also well i think what would be the craziest thing is if we found
life in our solar system
outside of Earth,
because right now,
life is just a super rare thing,
but if we found it
even fossilized on Mars
or on a moon,
that would be twice
in just one solar system,
which would mean that life
maybe is not as rare
as we think it is,
which then would mean that,
you know what's actually
insane to think about?
Go on.
Digging in his pocket for something?
I want to make sure I get this quote correct.
Okay.
Because this actually was what blew my mind the most.
I am patiently waiting.
This is crazy.
This is a true thing.
Okay.
I just have to find a...
A little impatient now.
No, I have to find the quote.
Impatient.
Just give me a second.
Just wait.
My left leg is starting to shake.
Found it.
Okay.
Okay.
This is a quote from the movie Contact, but it's true. She's talking to Matthew McConaughey's character, Jodie Foster, and she says, you know, there are 400 billion stars out there just in the Milky Way galaxy alone, all right? That's just this one little galaxy. There's a lot of galaxies. They just found a million new ones the other day in a three-hour period.
the other day in a three hour period.
If only one out of those million.
Oh, sorry.
If only one out of a million stars in our galaxy had life.
Right.
And only one out of a million of those that have life had intelligent life.
There would be millions of intelligent civilizations in the Milky Way alone.
There's we're not just some fluke.
And that's just this galaxy isn't
life is with me or not in in what i'm about to say the universe is very like there's tons of possibilities whatever but it's not like that special to where there's like this one thing that
exists outside of everything else that is going on.
Like there are duplicates of these systems that exist.
We are not the only star system in the universe that things just lined up perfectly.
Yes.
Also like life is so resilient.
And also like when we talk about life, we're only talking about life from like our understanding
because we assume that life on other planets would have to form the same way with
the same parameters like you know because we're carbon based but there could be silicone based
life or like you know other types of life that we just don't understand but that that is crazy
to think about just that statistic of like if one out of a million had life and then all the ones that out of a million did have life if only one out of a million had life, and then all the ones that out of a million did have life,
if only one out of a million had intelligent life,
there would be millions of civilizations
in just the Milky Way alone.
And there are billions of galaxies.
I think people get caught up too much on the whole,
like, then why in our solar system
isn't there other life or whatever?
When it's like, you're just thinking about like a handful of planets compared to the multitude of systems and planets and stars
that exist in the universe you're focusing on oh if they don't exist on like these eight or whatever
it's like which how is that which all but like that yeah exactly and the thing is only one of
those eight can actually support life in its current condition.
Mars is still like, that's cool.
That's really cool.
Like the, that's still like, we won a lottery in that aspect.
But in terms of Earth being special in any aspect.
Also, it's special in retrospect in looking at our solar system in like it's own way
and then you can even go and like
that's why when you learn about planets as a kid
they all have like their different fun little characteristics
because they each planet is special
in their own way
gas giants for example
I thought was the coolest shit as a kid
I know
I'm like a planet made of what?
when I found out that it doesn't actually have a surface
to stand on, I was like, what?
That doesn't count. I used to think
the surface of Jupiter would look so cool and then it's just
much of clouds. I used to think you could just
walk on the ring.
On Saturn?
As a kid, I thought it was just this
cool land
mass. The ring was just a solid...
Yeah, that's what I thought.
But, you know, now...
I mean, it doesn't make it any less cool
because it's still fucking, like, that's awesome.
There's a...
I mean, that's the reason I like space.
It's just because, like,
the more that it gets discovered every day,
there's just cool shit.
Yeah.
Like, they've discovered almost 5,000 planets
outside of ours.
And none of them have life, huh?
Nope. Well, there's a lot that... They've discovered almost 5,000 planets outside of ours. And none of them have life, huh? Nope.
Well, there's a lot that they've discovered, like, a pretty decent amount, like, I think a couple dozen planets that are, like, pretty much identical to Earth.
But they're light years away, so there's no way to, like, see them. proper view I guess view and understanding of to where we would be
able to determine life or no life well what is our pool looking like in terms
of like building building statistics so like they can't take a picture of them
but the James Webb Space Telescope one of the main like functions of it is it's
looking at other Earth like planets that are out in the solar
out in the universe and the galaxy so it can look at a planet that's like 20
light-years away and it can look at its atmosphere and it can detect like what
chemicals are in the atmosphere so that's how they can determine so
basically like then there's these things called bio signatures which is is like certain living, like on earth, uh, living things, you know, like cows produce like methane and stuff. So if you were to look at, and also we breathe out CO2. So that's one. So they look at these atmospheres and they look at what chemicals are in it. And that's a way they can determine if there's life because it's like, oh, there's this, uh, chemical chemical which is really only produced from organic stuff.
Potential of life or life?
Potential of life.
But have they crossed off potential of life?
They've found a lot of planets that have potential of life, right?
Yeah, well, they found planets that are almost identical to Earth.
To where it's like, there's got to be something.
There's got to be something running around on that thing.
They found ones that have something running around on that thing they found ones that
have like liquid oceans of water you know they can tell that they're like this has an ocean of water
on its surface like earth does but another thing is like even if they do have life it would have to
be advanced enough to you know be able to like communicate to us but even if it did i don't even
care about that i just want to know that something else is just... Even if we're looking at
an Earth that is
billions of years behind
our schedule, you know what I mean?
There's a lot that they found that are. It's like, this is
Earth 2.0, basically. But it's like, there's
just... We talked about this before, but just monsters
roaming around. I mean, there are monsters roaming around
today. I guess a big
theme of The Walking Dead, for example,
or The Last of of us you know
humans can be the monsters and maybe they are the monsters it's also crazy too is like earth
and its whole lifespan is only really suitable for like our survival for such a quick
and we're just existing in that little second but But you just think of like, think of all the life we have.
One discovered continues to be discovered every day in terms of species and shit like that.
And then ones that are, of course, just going to continue to still flood in.
Like there's so much diversity of life and the different ways that life can go on. On just one planet.
Yeah. It's just like there's
God, there's no way
there's no way in hell
that there's not one
critter, creature, thing
whatever, swimming around
running around on one of those other planets. One of those
other little
worlds. Of course it would be a multitude of
life because it's not just going to be one species.
I think that there are tens of billions of planets that have life, like evolved, like
different types of animals and stuff.
We will never know in our lifetime because it's too far away.
I want to have the technology to where we could like zoom in.
Yeah, exactly.
That's what sucks.
Maybe when we're 80 something.
The only way that's possible is if they figure out a way to travel across space through time and space
because things are so far apart even going light speed there's no way to get to something and back
the close if you went light speed the closest other star system is over four years away and
then four years back so even sending a picture at light speed would take four years to get there
and back which they're they're working on doing that they're sending a bunch of little probes
to take pictures and back in our lifetime so we'll get to see another planet
like pictures on that planet and it's an earth like planet like we do with mars it's in the
habitable zone yeah proximus and tar and so they're sending something out they're sending
they're sending all of these tiny little uh it's called a breakthrough starship i know like
shit's not gonna get in the way? Math.
They calculated ahead, like, basically they're sending all these tiny little probes.
Aren't there rogue asteroids and things that are, like, small but that they wouldn't be able to detect?
Space is so big that the odds... Well, that's why they're sending so many of them, too.
But the odds of it actually colliding with that is, like, super small, yeah.
There's...
One way to put out big spaces is, like like the closest galaxy is the andromeda galaxy
and it's colliding with the milky way and then in like four billion years they're going to fully
collide and each one has hundreds of billions of stars but the chances of stars actually colliding
like touching each other is almost like zero because that's how big space is but they're
sending all these little probes tons of them because some are going to get destroyed and
they're using like lasers to make them go 20% the speed of light.
So it's going to take 20 years to get there.
But they're going to fly by really fast and take pictures and send it back.
Are they going to get into the atmosphere of this planet?
No, they're just going to fly by.
See, that's what I want.
I want to see how we have that fucking goofy ass robot on mars i want to i wish it was i wish
it was technologically and scientifically possible that within our lifetime we would send something
as a respect similar to that to another planet so it could instead of you know footage from mars a
barren planet it's like footage going over foliage with like an ocean in the back like in like just
going that's a
fucking i know i want that so bad but it's just impossible in our lifetime they are sending uh
one they are sending in our lifetime uh one to titan which is the only other it's a moon of uh
saturn and it has an atmosphere and it has ocean it has liquid oceans on them but they're not water. It's like
liquid methane oceans.
But they're going to send stuff to fly around
and take pictures. It stinks.
It's a stinky planet. But it's possible
that life could exist there. Just a different type of life
than we know. Fart oceans.
It would just smell like fart oceans.
But basically
if we figured out a way to like
Use wormholes to like go through space time
We could get places really quick
You know
It's like a piece of paper
Fold it and
We don't know how to do that
Or maybe we do know how to do that
And we just
You know
Cause even if aliens
Even if aliens were sending us messages
From really far away
It would take so long to get a message back.
What's the last big breakthrough in terms of space?
You think of big ones, right?
I guess you could technically say internet, science, technology, and all that.
Electricity, light, phones, all this type of shit.
Like, what was the last big, like, breakthrough that kind of, like,
besides the internet, and maybe it is just the internet,
that changed things for all over the world?
I think the current one's AI.
We're at the beginning of it.
Yeah.
It's changing everything.
But space, they're making new discoveries
like all the time.
What's crazy is like,
have you ever like looked up
what dark matter is?
I don't know what it is.
I forgot what it is.
They don't know what it is.
Okay.
But it's like,
it makes up like a majority
of matter in the universe
and it holds things together
but it's invisible
and they can't even find it.
But it's there.
Yeah.
They don't even know what it is. They can't figure out what it is and it exists
But they can't see it. It's not like physically there, but it exists
God's got it's God's it's God's hands holding everything together. It's God's signature
Well, it's God's plan God's plan. What was that whole thing? Do you remember?
There was this whole thing where it's like there's proof of God in our DNA?
Do you remember that thing being a thing?
Yeah.
Do you remember what that was even about?
No.
I think that...
It's like a scientist who was an...
From what I remember when I was a kid, it was like a scientist who was an atheist who worked with DNA,
looked at DNA, blah, blah, blah, blah, and all of a sudden, through his workings with DNA,
became a Christian and found proof of God in DNA.
I think that...
The God gene?
Some shit like that? The God?
I found what you're looking at.
And from my understanding, it's like,
I think what it means is dna is like literally
computer programming so he's saying like look this is too intricate and complex to be like
random evolution like so this was programmed like this is programming which in my mind would just
make me think that you know not god but like uh we're in a simulation or something, and that's literally the programming for like us.
I don't know.
DNA is insane.
DNA is fucking crazy.
That's that.
There it is.
Sorry, I just, for some reason it got me thinking,
because I remember reading when I was back in probably like middle,
early high school when I was still in my faith, right?
I was reading a book by Dinesh D'Souza.
Classic.
It's my favorite convicted fraudster.
What's So Great About Christianity was the title of that book.
And I remember it because of the cover.
It was like red with like the fish.
I had the book too.
I just kind of remember back then reading it.
Of course, just being like a lot of big words, big things are said.
He knows how to, he's talking pretty.
And I'm sure back then it was fooling me.
I was like,
this is,
I'm reading smart guy talk,
you know?
And I didn't really fully grasp or understand fully everything that he was like throwing at me.
Right.
Cause like one,
my vocabulary isn't like the most expansive,
uh,
to Luke.
Uh,
we'll talk more about this in the,
uh,
after show.
Sorry,
Luke was giving me a look
why was Luke giving you a look?
yeah
I don't know
we've been good about
podcast length
I mean we gave him a short one
this one's not even
a shorter one
but he just
this one's like a normal
length one
Luke
we gotta talk to him man
yeah
pissing me off with that
Dinesh is a
convicted
criminal by the way
he was pardoned by Donald Trump.
Just want to throw that out there.
He's a bad guy.
Good, good, good.
He's a con man.
He was convicted of fraud.
So yes, he's literally a con man.
Yep.
So, which is crazy how many people look up to him and still.
Remember he had a debate with Christopher Hitchens that I watched.
Was he always.
This time I was on the Hitchens side.
Right.
Was he always like a political hack or did that just happen over the years?
I think he was always.
Because I just remembered him as just like just a good Christian that was smart and made books.
But that's how you remember him because that's what you perceived when you were a Christian.
He was always a fucking hack using like the religion for monetary gain.
He fucking wrote a book.
Yeah.
And then he ended up transitioning into making those fucking movies about Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.
Remember those?
Like 2016.
Because in general,
regardless of where you stand,
I would say a majority of people
who do have faith can't help
but eventually go down that road of,
oh, this does have a close linking
with the Republican political party, for example.
Like, they are the ones that are about family.
They preach the Bible.
They're the ones that will buy the book.
They're the ones that will buy the book.
They're the ones that will protect you.
Support you.
Yeah.
Even if you're convicted of fraud,
like, publicly, they will still... it's a fanbase that will not turn
it's a fanbase that will fucking
fight for you you know
so also
make a lot of money off that fanbase
I tell you what you can make a lot of money
off of like I mean you even see
that's why these guys do it on the like left side
where like a lot of companies
I think of
like Walmart doing like gay pride month or even a
better one target doing like gay pride uh merchandise and then and then backing down
they folded quick they folded um that's a that could be a complicated i don't know too much
about it i mean if the safety of their employees are at risk, sure. There's of course, like as a company, you have to take that into consideration. But of course, it's like, hey, if you're going to get into the business of supporting the LGBTQ community, which is a community that's been like famously, like physically reprimanded for their lifestyle unjustly by society and just people in general
it just seems like oh then are you
like are you really standing by it
or are you just doing this for profit
yes you know
yeah cause like you gotta stand
by it it's like a very important
battle so it's like you know
again the target thing is maybe complicated
they're a business they don't want
like a fucking mass shooting at a Target.
Exactly.
They don't want a bombing at a Target because there's a lot of fucking...
Psycho people.
Especially in America, there's a lot of people that have the means and willpower to go and fucking slaughter people.
Not for fun, but for righteous...
Just a feeling of righteous indignation.
Justice. like just a feeling of like righteous indignation justice of I am the vessel
for my viewpoint
you know like
bullshit yeah
but yeah
I see that anyway
we should read Dinesh D'Souza's book
maybe have a little book club about it
come to a second maybe understanding of it
because right now we're a bit bitter
because, you know, we
we
he led us astray. We should watch his movie about the
Clintons for
Uncle Sleepover.
The show on our Patreon
which costs $5. The show on our Patreon
as well as other stuff
but it's specifically, it's a show
where we watch movies and commentate
over them think of mystery science
theater 3000
without
you know us putting our silhouettes in front
of an old movie and I feel like they were safe
because a lot of the movies that they did
weren't
what is that law where it's like it's past
the time public domain maybe it was like
a public domain and shit because it's like a lot of the time? Public domain. Maybe it was like a public domain and shit.
Because it's like a lot of old black and white monster movies and horror movies and stuff.
But we're not going to upload a 4K resolution copy of the social network for you to watch along.
People want us to post the actual movie on Patreon.
There was an easy way to do that.
We wish that we could.
But the problem is we do that.
We are infringing on copyright. And wish that we could, but the problem is we do that.
We are infringing on copyright.
And sure, you could argue fair use, but these companies like the movie studios, they're not going to have it.
And then we run the risk of getting our entire Patreon completely axed.
And then you guys don't get the after hours, which is coming up next if you're a part of our Patreon.
That's right.
So thank you guys for watching this episode.
Fun little one. Maybe on the after hours we'll talk more about aliens, Dinesh D'Souza.
Who knows? Well, we got some lottery tickets.
