You're probably wondering, frick, how many of these pot how many they're gonna make a lot uh well uh well we enjoy doing the podcast we you know i love doing it we like we like talking back and forth it's uh
Starting point is 00:02:17 it's been a staple of the channel since it's since its start exactly so you know uh well actually since its since its start exactly so you know well actually technically not since its start no we started the podcast a bit after we started the channel but it was like uh in the same year yeah yeah because we uh we we we wanted to do like a weekly podcast and uh some weeks we'd be off we'd go like a couple weeks without uploading one. Remember when we had a more kind of loose upload schedule for our podcast? We actually, I remember, we went a long time without the podcast actually. We ended it. Yeah, we tried to start the talking show. Yeah, we ended the podcast for a while.
Starting point is 00:03:02 With special guests Frank Javsi and Barry Kramer. That's right. I remember that. And then we came back after a while and rejuvenated the Super Megacast. Let me see if I can find the last, like when we thought that it was the last episode of Super Megacast. Because I totally forgot. We were just like, yeah, it's done. And then lo and behold, you know, we came back and look at us now baby episode 300 1 million episodes 60 something right 50 something 60 something at
Starting point is 00:03:31 this point right 350 something we haven't even sorry dude not 360 yet dude when episode 360 comes can we do a special remembering the xbox course, man. Even though this podcast has nothing to do with gaming. Yes, it does. I had a 360. I didn't. Dude, don't laugh at me, man. Some of the greatest nostalgic games came out on the 360. Halo 3, Gears of War. Viva Pinata.
Starting point is 00:03:56 A lot of people did like that. It was made by Rare. Oh, that was by Rare? Mm-hmm. Who right now is doing Sea of Thieves and has just announced, I don't know, did you ever play Monkey Island? Mystery or whatever it's called. It's an old point-and-click pirate adventure game.
Starting point is 00:04:12 Monkey Island? No, that sounds right up our alley, though. But Lucasfilms has the rights to it, and now they're, you know, much how Disney collaborated with Sea of Thieves and did the whole Pirates of the Caribbean and Sea of Thieves. Now they're doing Monkey Island in Sea of Thieves. Which I think is going to help bring me back to the game.
Starting point is 00:04:34 Because that means hopefully some monkey figureheads for my boat. Some monkey sails. They don't have anything monkey in the game besides banana-themed things. That doesn't even count, man. I mean, you can buy little monkeys, but I want a monkey sail. I want a monkey figure, like a monkey that's just out of the ground. I wonder if you can have a little monkey helper. Well, you can have pets, like monkey pets.
Starting point is 00:05:03 You have to buy them, though. Can they do anything? No, they don't help you out. They're actually pretty annoying, the pets, because they just make sound effects every few seconds. Sometimes they fall asleep and you don't worry about them. But I feel like they also give away your position if you're trying to be sneaky, like on an island
Starting point is 00:05:23 and there's another enemy pirate, so to speak, and he sees your pet, he goes, I don't have a monkey. Where's this monkey? Could he kill it or take it? No, I mean, he can pick it up. Dude. But it'll always spawn near you.
Starting point is 00:05:37 You can shoot them out of cannons and they'll just spawn back on the boat and stuff. You and I need to play. There's a lot. I'd love to. It's a fun sandbox game. So our understanding of pirates, like what we think of pirates, you know, it's obviously skewed by like pop culture over the years.
Starting point is 00:05:53 Peter Pan, Sea of Thieves. You know, like we have a more vibrant, fun image of pirates than I'm sure what it really was like. I'm sure they didn't like look as piratey. They probably were just more like tattered in rags and just on a ship and just brutal. Pirates of the Caribbean probably got them in terms of their dress down a little bit maybe. The eyeliner, the jewelry. Well, not Jack Sparrow.
Starting point is 00:06:16 The rest of them, yeah. The subordinate pirates. But it makes like, did they ever actually have monkeys as pets or parrots as pets? Because pirates are so associated with having like a monkey or a parrot i don't know and it's just like first of all i feel like having a monkey as a pet as as kick-asses it seems would be actually really excruciating and would suck especially out on the open seas i'm gonna look it up right now imagine having a like having to deal with a fucking little monkey while you're out in the middle of the ocean.
Starting point is 00:06:45 It would be bored. It would be playing with shit. I just want to throw that little sucker over the edge so many times. Did pirates have monkeys as pets? Also, but I guess to get a monkey, they would have to go pillage somewhere where there were monkeys to begin with, and they'd catch one. They're probably selling monkeys in cages or, you know, get this exotic monkey. I don't know. Why don't they do that here in America?
Starting point is 00:07:11 Here we go. It is possible that some pirates may have had monkeys as pets, but there is no definitive evidence or record of this being a widespread practice among pirates. Monkeys were not commonly found in the regions where pirates operated, and even if they were, they would not have been practical for pirates to keep on board their ships due to their need for specific diets and care. So birds, yes. Dogs, yes. Cats, yeah. Just not the monkey thing.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Which is a standout character trait for Barbossa. You know? He has Jack the monkey. They got their little monkey helpers. Not you, Jack. Right. Your name's a monkey, Jack. You know?
Starting point is 00:07:56 If I was a pirate, I'd have a gorilla. We are the pirates, what, of the Caribbean. Remember that? Yeah. Yeah, I do. Was that fucking a disaster? Not disaster movie.
Starting point is 00:08:10 A little earlier. Epic movie? Yep. Epic movie? Yeah. Dude, epic movie. We are the pirates. What, of the Caribbean?
Starting point is 00:08:16 Of the Caribbean, yeah. Yeah, that was. So good. I love that movie. I saw it. The white bitch. Yep, yep. Kevin Hart's an epic movie.
Starting point is 00:08:24 We need to sit down one day. He plays the albino church dude that they're making fun of. Oh, that's right. From The Da Vinci Code. Yeah. We need to sit down and watch all of those movies back to back in one day. Epic movie, disaster movie. We need to watch some Cronman Dune.
Starting point is 00:08:37 Meet the Spartans. The main actor who plays the protagonist in Meet the Spartans is the protagonist in Crowdman Dune, The Flaming Sword of Fire. Really? Yes. Really? Now, I watched Meet the Spartans with them last year, and it was quite a fantastic movie, actually.
Starting point is 00:08:55 Great piece of cinema. I love how they use the same, like, Britney, the actress who plays Britney Spears, they use her just throughout the whole fucking movie. They also reuse a lot of actors you can tell what's surprising to me is something of like this quality
Starting point is 00:09:12 made it into theaters it was a big thing and like a lot of people showed up like Vampires Suck Epic Movie all that shit okay so I was on Amazon video recently and I watched the trailer for vampires suck and then it recommended other movies and i found another twilight parody movie that looks 10
Starting point is 00:09:30 times worse than vampires suck there's this really bad parody movie i'm have you seen the trailer it it stars that girl from cory in the house the like foreign chick there she plays the foreign chick um it's the hunger games parody it's called the hungry games yes yes i've seen the trailer for it dude we gotta watch all of these how is something like that low quality like it's like one thing i don't know it's there's i guess of course it's like there's no passion behind these projects obviously what the fuck are you talking about the hungry games that was a passion project but just like all the creativity creativity seems to go on in the writer's room where they're like what if what if they what if Katniss said this why are you why are you putting air quotes when you say
Starting point is 00:10:23 creativity because Jason Freudberg and whatever the fuck whatever the fuck their names are you putting air quotes when you say creativity? Because Jason Freudberg and whatever the fuck their names are, you know exactly the boys I'm talking about. They're the people who helped do... From Scary Movie? Yeah, from... From the guys who brought you Scary Movie. From two of the five writers of Scary Movie. From the sick, twisted minds that brought you Scary Movie.
Starting point is 00:10:41 From the sick, fucking, demented minds. If we ever make a movie, it's like from the demented minds of Matt Watson and Ryan McGee, but like it's played off seriously from the sick, twisted, demented, uncontrollable, enthusiastic mind. Gross, fucking sick,
Starting point is 00:10:59 disgusting minds of Matt Watson. I like how like that's, for certain directors, that is a point of interest. It's like, yeah, I'm sick. Oh, I'm sick, baby. Nasty. I'm sick nasty, baby.
Starting point is 00:11:13 From the sexually perverted mind. Well, oh, who's that fucking director who did Nymphomaniac Part 1? I know who you're talking about. It's like, yeah, I'm fucked up. It's the, he did Antichrist. He works with a're talking about. It's like, yeah, I'm fucked up. He did Antichrist. He works with a lot of big actors.
Starting point is 00:11:30 When it's one of his movies, the least you can say right is that it is directed. It is someone's vision. Right. Whether that is the type of film. I think he also did the house that Jack built. The Jack the Ripper one? It's not even about No, it's not about Jack the Ripper, but.
Starting point is 00:11:46 Oh, I thought it was. No, it's about this dude in like modern day. He's played by, did you ever see Herbie Fully Loaded? Do you know the antagonist in that movie?
Starting point is 00:11:58 His name is. I haven't seen the movie actually. Something, okay. Unfortunately. I'm trying to remember this actor's name. It's an actor that you wouldn't really suspect to be in this role because you're like damn this
Starting point is 00:12:07 you're alienating like a lot of people with this role because the whole thing is like him killing people over time right like this is how i became a serial killer and i loved it and his final kill is like lining 25 people up and killing them all with a single bullet that's gotta be a strong ass gun it's a it's a rifle i don't think even with a rifle you could kill 25 people with one bullet go watch the movie and find out you're talking like line up and then it's like headshot through 25 people at once from the side of their head yeah they're all lined up i mean maybe not 20 maybe it's like 10 people. I don't know if you could get past two or three. I mean, bone. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:48 Bone and brain. I mean, it slows it down. A good significant amount. Maybe he has like a special bullet. It's a special little bullet. It's a special bullet. This is my magic bullet. Mama said it would shoot through 25 different heads.
Starting point is 00:13:03 Kidnapping. I guess it's just like, I mean, the movie, the reason it got a lot of hate was not just its subject matter and its brutality in that aspect. Because one thing you could argue is you expect that in a movie. But it had a lot of violence at children, just shots of him sniping a child. Oh, damn. And shit like that.
Starting point is 00:13:23 So it's, you know. Jeez. I've never seen it. I started to watch to watch it and then i was like not in the mood not not what i'm feeling this one i probably threw on lilo and stitch afterwards to help cleanse the palate the live action remake well it's not out yet we don't even know what stitch looks like now do you think they're going to have do you think it's possible regardless of how decent they do with the design of Stitch, for there not to be backlash? No. I think regardless there's going to be backlash, because is there really a way to do that design justice in a live action setting? No.
Starting point is 00:13:57 Like, how are they going to do, like, how is The Rock going to play Maui? going to play Maui. Because Maui, as a character, like, think of character design. He's, like, made big and wide and almost, like, unrealistic for, like, a reason. Moana's also such a recent movie. I don't understand.
Starting point is 00:14:15 Why don't they just make a... Bring all the Disney classics, baby. Why don't they make a sequel to Moana that's animated? I would love a sequel to Moana. I would much rather that. It's a great movie. I love Moana.
Starting point is 00:14:22 I'm sure they're going to have a sequel. They just probably focused on that frozen three thing for a bit it's bizarre anyway uh which frozen has three fucking movies which is right has three or is it only two I don't think I thought there was a they announced frozen three oh okay it's not it's not they also announced Toy Story 6.
Starting point is 00:14:46 What? Yeah. Five. Okay. I liked five, honestly. Five doesn't exist. Really? Four.
Starting point is 00:14:55 It goes up to four right now. Sorry. I liked four. Okay. They announced Toy Story 5. Yeah. People didn't like four. I thought four was good.
Starting point is 00:15:02 I think I preferred it to three. Maybe. No. I'd it to 3. No. I'd have to watch it again. I think the reason I liked it, I thought it was decent, Toy Story 4 so much was because going into it, I heard a lot of bad shit.
Starting point is 00:15:14 And I watched it and I was like, it's not offensive in any way. It's fun, you know? It is that thing of like, the story doesn't need to continue. They've had multiple decent endpoints. And it's kind of, I guess, for fans and like the nostalgia, it's like cool to like revisit. But it also kind of hurts.
Starting point is 00:15:36 Does it, though? So I was about to say it like hurts the longevity of the brand doing this. But I don't I don't. Toy Story is one of those things where I've, it's just toys. They're just selling toys. You know what I mean? So at the end of the day,
Starting point is 00:15:50 like, is it, I don't know if it hurts the longevity. I think that like, because the original first two movies will always be so classic. I don't, I guess that there's like an aspect where it's like, if they had just stopped at two movies, Toy Story would just be a brand that you look back on and you're like, fuck, that was legendary.
Starting point is 00:16:11 But the fact that they continue it, I mean, it does. They could have gotten away with just ending it at three, too. It makes the brand more stale and I think lose a little bit of charm because it's being milked. Yeah. Anytime you milk something, it loses its charm a little bit of charm because it's being milked yeah anytime you milk something it loses its its its charm a little bit uh but i don't i don't know i feel like at the end of the day the first two movies are so good that they'll always stand on their own but it seems like they're giving a limping dog a push yeah yeah there was no need for three or four uh and five there's
Starting point is 00:16:43 gonna be no need for five no buzz wasn't even really in for like like the weird thing is is that three ends on a good end point of like they go to a new kid they uh like people are in their like uh the people at the daycare like they they figure that whole story out things are all all settled. Everything's good. And the toys have found a new purpose. And it's a purpose that is not relatable. It's a purpose that you could see in your imagination going on forever. Right.
Starting point is 00:17:18 Them going to the next kid. It's the end of the original arc, and then it's like the rest is up for your own interpretation. Yeah. And I like that yes you know and then four has another kind of big finality to it of like i'm not just gonna be i don't want to just be a toy i want to have my own life right and they have that whole like the separation point i guess it's looking back's going to feel less like these movies wanted to make an impact and more like, oh, what's the Toy Story story of this one?
Starting point is 00:17:50 It's more episodic. Like the villain of the week. Who's the villain of the week in Toy Story? Who's going to be the villain in Toy Story 5 or 6? It's just going to be like, who's the new toys? It's like, you're going to want to see the new toys. It's not about the characters anymore because there's yeah there's really no need for
Starting point is 00:18:09 any more character growth or characterization and they continue to try to come up with excuses well it's also be more but it's i feel like when they were making pixar movies back in the late 90s and early 2000s there was not i feel feel like it really was more about creating a good movie. And now it's really mainly also about marketability and making toys, stuff like that. So when they make Toy Story characters, it's like, what's going to be the best toy we can sell in stores as well? So you kind of just get a lot of characters and stuff produced just to make like a more like, what's the next Minions? Cars was a big one for Pixar in terms of like the realization of the toy thing. I mean, of course, Toy Story, because it's literally toys.
Starting point is 00:18:54 Yeah. But I remember there being a lot of articles about like how cars really shaped like the monetization of like product products and stuff off of movies for Disney. Oh, yeah. Like how how aggressive they became. Like, I bet I have not been in the toy aisle in quite some time, except for when we took Justin to Target and we had to chase him and pull him out of it. Yes. Recently.
Starting point is 00:19:17 But basically, I guarantee if I went down the toy aisle right now, I could find probably five to 10 different Cars products. It's lightning McQueen, baby. They still got them on little lawn chairs and shit. Which is actually pretty nuts considering how old the movie Cars is. And it still has such an impact on the toy market. Well, they made three of them. Have you seen all three?
Starting point is 00:19:41 No, I've only seen one. I don't really want to see two or three. I know that two is your favorite. No. What what you've always talked about cars too yeah two i i've told this story a lot too i remember uh because before that i was i'm trying to remember when two came out i was like probably in high school or college. Yeah, it was a long time ago. But I remember going, Pixar has not missed. And I have trust in them. I'm like, Cars 2. They hadn't at that point.
Starting point is 00:20:13 Yeah, I'm like, Cars 2, I'm not excited for it because I don't really care about, I never really cared about Cars 1 to begin with, even when I was younger. So I wasn't excited to go back into the universe and be with the characters. But I remember just thinking, when I was younger so I wasn't too like excited to go back into the universe and be with the characters right um but I remember
Starting point is 00:20:28 just like thinking being confident like they can't miss they came up with there had to be a good idea in the studio that stemmed them
Starting point is 00:20:35 to want to do a story for a sequel John Lasseter don't miss baby but it was really just all to make more toys and that's why they have like
Starting point is 00:20:43 all the cars from the different regions and stuff. They go to Japan. Yeah, of course. They're spies now. So it's very obvious what they're doing. And they tone it down in the third one. But upon seeing the second one, being in that theater and just going, damn, this sucks.
Starting point is 00:20:58 That's the worst feeling. Goddamn, Pixar really made a stinker. And Pixar has made a couple stinkers now I have to re-watch the good dinosaur you you like it right I saw it once I liked it it seems like I might be one of the only people that has that opinion because most people just hated that one I don't really even see ever it's like I don't ever see uh advertising it's probably like the most forgettable pixar movie i don't see any toys or t-shirts which is surprising because it's i'm like you would think like oh dinosaur you know again in the toy market for kids kids love dinosaurs and
Starting point is 00:21:37 i like this setup it's a good like it's the classic pixar like what if this had more human characteristics and this had more animal, you know. It's kind of the Ice Age plot a little bit, wasn't it? Where it's like he has to return the child to like human parents now. Something like that. I don't even remember. Which, again, is part of the problem with that movie. Like the cave boy was a dog, essentially.
Starting point is 00:22:00 That was the whole bit. It was like the dinosaurs were the more humane people. They were like, sorry the dinosaurs were the more humane people right they were like sorry they were the more humane ones they they had feelings and they expressed emotions and they could uh communicate and we heard like full conversations right with them so we understood them we were put in from their perspective and then with the boy he's just like I think the joke is that he is a dog yeah I'll have to give it a rewatch I guess it's a a little like a old
Starting point is 00:22:30 not an old yeller but like a little boy in a dog story you know one of those classic it's old yeller a boy and his dog remember the ending
Starting point is 00:22:36 when he has to stomp on his head he has to stomp and crush his head cause he bit his mom yeah god that book is sad I read it in like fifth grade and cried my eyes out the movie's sad too You have to stomp and crush his head. Because he bit his mom. God, that book is sad.
Starting point is 00:22:47 I read it in like fifth grade and cried my eyes out. The movie's sad too. In fifth grade, I had to read Old Yeller and I had to read Where the Red Fern Grows. So in one year of school, they made me read two books about dogs dying. And I'm like, why? In elementary school, why did they make me read two separate books that are just... I think both of those books would make me as a 27 year old man cry now if I read them. You didn't even get to read Sounder. No, I didn't.
Starting point is 00:23:10 Or watch Sounder. Is Sounder another one where a dog dies? Yeah. Funny name though. It focuses more on like the African American experience. Yo, we're not going to read that in South Carolina. No, but Disney made a movie that I, because I was obsessed with watching dog movies and like reading books about dogs
Starting point is 00:23:29 because I was trying to convince my dad, I don't want a beagle. Of course, like it never amounted to anything, but it's just like, as a kid, you just want a little puppy or you want something. So I was reading a bunch of books that just had dogs in them. And I was buying movies that had dogs in them.
Starting point is 00:23:42 Had that dog in them. Yeah, exactly. And Sounder was one of them. And Sounder is one of, I think, I'd have to rewatch it again, but growing up, I didn't like watching Old Yeller, but Sounder was a very emotional piece. Such an interesting genre,
Starting point is 00:23:59 because it is a genre where the dog die movie genre. You have Marley and Me, you have My Dog Skip, you have Sounder, you have Old Yeller, you have Where the Red Fern Grows. It's movie genre. You have Marley and Me. You have My Dog Skip. You have Sounder. You have Old Yeller. You have Where the Red Fern Grows. It's a genre. The dog death genre. It's like, hey, so our movie got greenlit.
Starting point is 00:24:14 Oh, sick. Is it like a spy thriller? No, it's a movie where a dog dies. Oh, it's one of those. Okay. Makes everyone cry every time a dog dies. It does. It just seals the deal.
Starting point is 00:24:24 What's the other? There's several more. But it's not the dog scene in Sounder that is super... Is it the sounding scene in Sounder? No. I mean, the dog dying, of course, is sad and makes you cry. But the movie's point stays more towards the family in terms of where you're emotionally connecting.
Starting point is 00:24:44 It's like, we're emotionally connecting it's like we're not just gonna kill a dog and like focus on it's not like marley and me right we're like the whole point is just to get to the dog death scene and be sad you know what i mean like sounder had more of a point but the the the scene that got me to cry as a kid was the the the father was like wrongfully arrested for something. And the mom bakes him a cake, like with like a lot of love, like is so excited, bakes him a cake. She gets the son to go take it down to the jail cell for the dad.
Starting point is 00:25:14 And the cop's like, you're not allowed to bring cakes in here. He's like, well, but we're allowed to. He's like, we're going to have to check it. And he just digs into the cake with his hands and is like, yep. Looks and just ruins the cake. And he has to hand the cake to his dad. All messed up.
Starting point is 00:25:31 That's devastating. Yeah. I just remember that scene effect. I was like, damn. Racism is pretty bad. I was like, this is unfair. That's what did it, man. This is not nice.
Starting point is 00:25:41 That's what brought you over to the light side. Yeah. Before that that you know i was you're pretty racist yeah you're pretty racist and you saw that cake scene in sounder and you went oh wait a second that saved me this racism stuff sucks i gotta stop this these ads don't suck though no angie has made it easier than ever to connect with skilled professionals to get all your jobs projects done well.

Starting point is 00:28:55 But welcome back, regardless of where you're watching this, how you're watching this, who you're watching this with. Or when. Or when. If it's the year 2038. Someone is watching this in 2038. Isn't that weird? Maybe. Like, just with this archive, you know, there will be someone in the year 2080 who goes back and listens to this podcast.
Starting point is 00:29:16 And it's going to be very interesting, I imagine, someone in 2080 listening to our voices right now because of how much the world will have changed, you know? Mm-hmm. And hearing us speak from the reference point of 2023,'re probably like wow this is this is crazy and this did not age well this is cringe this is cringe dude uh where am i huh am i in cringe-topia we're both probably dead if you're listening to this in 2080 oh I thought you were saying 2030 and I was like, no. No. Maybe. But in 2080, we're definitely dead. Maybe not. Well, if we lived healthier lifestyles in our 20s,
Starting point is 00:29:52 we might still be alive. Yeah. There might still be a fighting chance. We could save ourselves in our 30s. I'll be 84. And you'll be 85, 86. Yeah. But with our current lifestyles, we're not reaching 80 which is fine because I don't know
Starting point is 00:30:07 if I want to be like geriatric you don't want to just be one of those old people that just fucking sits in a chair all day and takes your pills and eats your jello no, that sounds miserable it does, it sounds like just existing
Starting point is 00:30:23 because you're still alive which isn't a reason to because there's a lot of It sounds miserable. It does. It sounds like just existing because you're still alive. It sounds miserable. Which isn't a reason to like, because there's a lot of people where they're like older people who are in pain and who, there was actually a movement, I can't remember specifically where, but it was like for assisted suicide. Oh, I think that was like Sweden or Denmark. People who are like terminally ill or people who are old and dying and in pain. It allows them kind of, like, a more,
Starting point is 00:30:50 a better way to go out than just writhing in a bed all, you know, until your last moments. It's really controversial, but, I mean, I, in those cases, I, like, I would support it. There's a whole, like, There's a little documentary about it, and I saw a scene from that documentary where it is someone taking the stuff. They're like, okay.
Starting point is 00:31:11 They show it in the documentary in assisted suicide? Wow. I mean, yeah, if it's in those situations, I don't think it should just be available where anyone can be like, yeah, I'm going to go do assisted suicide. No, no, no, no. If it meets the criteria,
Starting point is 00:31:23 like you're terminally ill, and you're just going to basically bankrupt, or at least in America, bankrupt yourself and your family just to exist. No, no, no, no. And everyone else they know has already died. Yeah. Or everybody else they know is just watching them suffer through this. Wither away, yeah. And they're not able to recognize. You know, it's just there are some sad instances where people wouldn't have to go through that. Like the elderly, the literally sick and twisted because of their limbs not saying they're mentally they could be sick and twisted they could be from the sick and twisted mind of ryan mcgee and matt watson we'll just make a really fucked up movie about old people dying
Starting point is 00:32:15 yeah but like you know i i think we you and i you know every now and then we'll like think about like oh death is scary and like think about death in some general way or whatever so you know i don't think anyone wants to live to be to not recognize people around them and not to be physically able to like even do anything there's a lot of that's the part for me you don't want to just be an empty vessel sitting in a chair not being like not being mobile yeah like kind of also sucks because it's like i can't really do anything also you got a thing like you wouldn't even really recognize the world anymore from i mean there's also like a lot of like uh you'll see you see in interviews or just
Starting point is 00:33:02 like jokes and stuff they're usually played for laughs. It'll be like a video or like just a description of like an old person. It's like, yeah, I'm just waiting to die. It's like, how are you? It's like, I'm just waiting to die. I'm just still living for some reason. It's like they've expected. It's like I've experienced like 90 plus years on this planet,
Starting point is 00:33:24 and I've had my experiences. I used to do Meals on Wheels with my mom when I was a kid. So, you know, it's like we'd pick up the meals, and then we would— On wheels. The meals weren't—well, you were in a vehicle that had wheels. Right, but the meals themselves didn't have wheels. But basically, like, yeah, we'd pick up the meals and we would we'd have like a list of addresses around charleston and we would drive around and drop
Starting point is 00:33:51 them off to elderly people or like uh you know people that couldn't you know go to the grocery store uh and god i remember i always wanted one so bad because i smelled so good and i was like mom can i please have one she's like no they're not for you but i still remember they make me hungry anyway there was this one elderly woman who we would visit routinely on like the stop and i still remember going to her house and she would invite us in and she was like one of the only people that we would actually go into her house and not just drop it off uh because she she was lonely and she lived by herself and she wanted to like talk. And I remember like spending a decent amount of time over there. Uh, I'm, I'm sure she's passed by now, but I remember one of the times she told my mom this one of the times I wasn't there, but she told my mom one time that she was stuck
Starting point is 00:34:38 with your mom. Obviously. Yeah. She was like, she was like, I'm so ready to die. Like I'm ready just any day now to die and my mom was like really and she's like oh yeah she's like i don't have any purpose like everyone that i love like all my friends have passed away uh and at this point like there's nothing else for me to do in my life she's like i've accepted i'm just ready to die yeah so i think a lot of people do i'm
Starting point is 00:35:01 assuming that's like a peaceful mentality to do kind of like a weird piece you probably come into right though like a weird acceptance like you're not scared of death you kind of have this like acceptance where it's like i welcome it now you know i you know it ranges from person to person there there are other there are some people right who are probably scared like right before you know they they get a little anxious. But, like, usually your brain is flooded with so much shit. You don't, I doubt that you're really thinking of too much at the time of your death, you know? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:38 I'll just smoke a little DMT, you know? Go to the... What a fucking way to go. That'd be terrifying. That'd be absolutely terrifying. That's how I want to die. I want to rip a fat DMT rip and then get shot in the back of the head. Like 30 seconds later.
Starting point is 00:35:55 Just so everyone knows. Maybe they're going slow motion for you. That would actually... Might be a cool way to die, honestly. You'd be shot in the back of the head on DMT? I'd see some Egyptian gob with like 20 arms and then just blackness. Well, you wouldn't see the blackness. No.
Starting point is 00:36:10 You would just be non-existent. Exactly. It would be like the certain finale to a certain famous television show. Yes. Simpsons. Yeah. But it's kind of like, I guess that's the thing that I get anxious about is like I do kind of like regardless of how you know I'll have like bad weeks or months or you know life life comes at you fast sometimes. Yeah it does.
Starting point is 00:36:33 But like it is like a fear to be like I'm not experiencing I'm not I'm not like taking in information and remembering that you know what I mean. like taking in information and remembering that you know what I mean it's just like it's it's nice to be mentally active regardless of what state you're in I think looking out of it like even like the sad moments it's like oh it's nice to to like feel every now and then and it's and it's and it's healthy to let yourself feel if if if any of you out there need a good cry, just listen to some Uncle Cracker and belt it out. I love a good cry. You know? Every now and then you got to have a good cry.
Starting point is 00:37:11 Especially with some Uncle Cracker. Or Ed Sheeran. Oh, that'll do it for me. Whatever music you need. Shape of You by Ed Sheeran. Whatever movie it is. Sometimes it's just good to get out a cry regardless. I don't know.
Starting point is 00:37:25 Oh, it's fantastic, dude. I did that recently. No homo. But I let out a good cry and it was really fantastic. It's just like, I don't know, over time a lot of emotion builds up. And, you know, us as men aren't allowed to really express our emotions nowadays. Well, they specifically outlawed it in 1967. Six or seven.
Starting point is 00:37:42 One of the two. Okay. So sometimes when you're in closed doors Men don't cry Around other people That's pussy shit But if you have a nice closed off area You let out a good cry every now and then
Starting point is 00:37:54 Don't tell anyone you did though No no no because that would be embarrassing Because men Don't cry They don't cry Unless Unless your sports team loses Men don't cry. They don't cry. Unless it's in the... Unless your sports team loses. Yes.
Starting point is 00:38:10 That's one of the only legal times men are allowed to cry is if your football team loses. And a lot of grown men do cry when their football team loses. The sad thing is that's true. It is. It is very true. The sad thing is that's true. It is. It is very true. I feel like if you're a grown man in your 40s or 50s and you cry when your football team loses,
Starting point is 00:38:35 I feel like you're not really crying because I feel like there's a lot of deeper shit there. And the football team losing is just kind of what pushes it over the edge emotionally. Dude, there were grown men that cried the moment that gay marriage became legal. You know that they just went like, because from their minds, they're like, we are such a depraved spot
Starting point is 00:38:58 in society. I pray for everyone. America is fucked. We have fucked ourselves. We have fucked ourselves by letting these people love each other. It has nothing to do with me. The idea of a grown man crying when gay marriage becomes legal. It happened though.
Starting point is 00:39:13 It's so fucking funny. You know it happened. No! That's so funny to me. I don't know why a grown man crying when his football team loses is so funny to me. Just throwing shit. No!
Starting point is 00:39:28 Well, it seems like, I guess from what I can gather, the Republicans got upset that gay marriage became legal and potentially cried. Because it would no longer, I guess, you know... you know it used to be something they could use an excuse with their little like side boyfriends to be like I can't because it's illegal and I'm a politician but now these boyfriends are
Starting point is 00:39:54 expecting a little something they're expecting a little ring on that finger you said you loved me with all your heart you butt fucked me with all your heart Senator Graham you butt fucked me with all your heart. You buttfucked me with all your heart. Senator Graham, you buttfucked me with all your heart. And then, you know? So once it became legal,
Starting point is 00:40:10 it's like, oh, well, if you liked it, then it's just another affair. Well, you should've put a ring on it. It was a Beyonce reference. Yeah. Senator Graham, if you liked it,
Starting point is 00:40:18 you should've put a ring on it. Senator Graham. That's like the most commonly open secret one is Lindsey Graham. He is like the most commonly open secret one is Lindsey Graham. He is from South Carolina. Dude, we got two South Carolinians running for president. We got Tim Scott, who went and spoke at my high school when I was in high school and he got booed by everyone.
Starting point is 00:40:38 And Nikki Haley. Doesn't surprise me. Charleston is a very liberal town. If there are any liberal... An artistic high school. If there are any liberal... I guess, like, if there was a liberal heat map of South Carolina, Columbia, Charleston, and I think probably Green...
Starting point is 00:40:57 No, Greenville, yeah. Greenville, maybe, though. And guess what? The Super Mega Boys each came from one of those hot spots. Yep. Justin came from Greenville. Well, I grew up in Irma. You're close
Starting point is 00:41:08 enough. It's the same sense of district. You're in the greater Columbia metropolis. Exactly. I'm from good old Charleston. Charleston, baby. But yeah, Tim Scott. Charleston Chew? I love a good Charleston Chew.
Starting point is 00:41:23 I do, actually. Or a Cowtail. I was talking to Luke about this, how like back in the, like, candy from like the 1920s and shit was just so nasty. It was like, you remember like those dots on paper? Yeah. I've had those. And it's just like, because back then it was like, I guess just sugar was a luxury in of itself.
Starting point is 00:41:43 So- Well, we still do that. We still do cotton candy. I like cotton candy. But that guess just sugar was a luxury in of itself so well we still do that should we still do cotton candy i like cotton candy that's just sugar yeah but it's got it's got a little flavor yeah it's got a fun texture where like those dots it's like here's sugar and water on a piece of paper candy where it's like back then candy was just fucking gross but now we got skittles starburst ring pops ring pops love Ring Pops. Love a good Ring Pop. Pixie Dust, Stix. Pixie Dust is something different.
Starting point is 00:42:08 Yeah. Which, by the way, Jim got some more of it. Oh, really? If you want some Pixie Dust. Okay, okay, okay. Which drug is that a euphemism for? Cocaine? I would have guessed cocaine.
Starting point is 00:42:21 I feel like it's heroin for some reason. But I swear, do you remember in school having to do presentation, did you ever have to pick a drug and do a presentation on it? The drug is known as pixie dust. I feel like it's cocaine, but... Am I going to put pixie... My vote is also for cocaine. Let's see.
Starting point is 00:42:37 The drug that is known as pixie dust is actually a street name for a synthetic hallucinogen called 2C-B. It is a designer drug that produces psychedelic effects I've heard of that drug. However, 2C-B is illegal and can be dangerous if taken in high doses or in combination with other substances. Isn't that fun learning things? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:12 What else do you want to learn about? 2C-B. Ask me a question. If there's ever a question you wanted to know the answer to, now's the best time. Angel dust. Angel dust. That's cocaine, right? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:43:24 I don't know. Do you want me to ask it? Yeah, ask it what's angel dust, that's cocaine, right? Yeah. I don't know. Do you want me to ask it? Yeah, ask it what's angel dust. What drug is known as angel dust? Fuck. No, angel dust might be heroin, dude. Angel dust might be heroin. Well, we're about to figure it out. The drug that is known as angel dust is actually a street name for the drug, uh, Phenicillidine,
Starting point is 00:43:46 PCP? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, PCP. Phenicillidine? Phenicillidine? Phenicillidine? Phenicillidine? Phen, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:43:56 I don't know how to, I have no idea. It is a dissociative anesthetic that was originally used as a surgical anesthetic, but was discontinued due to its severe side effects. PCP is a white crystalline powder that can be snorted, smoked, and ingested orally. It produces, well, we, I don't need to. Dude. You and I know enough about PCP. Oh, we know a couple things about PCP.
Starting point is 00:44:17 Can I also take a shit? Yeah. Do we need to? Wait. Okay. Real quick. Yeah, real quick. I was talking to this guy once at a party a couple years ago
Starting point is 00:44:27 not surprised dude come on and uh and he and he was he brought up he casually was like you ever done pcp and i was like no i've never done pc no and he was like oh man you should try it and i was like i don't really have any interest in trying pcp and he's like oh no i just i like it has a really bad rep i casually do it all the time and i was like you casually do. And he's like, oh, no, I just, I like, it has a really bad rep. I casually do it all the time. And I was like, you casually do PCPs? Like, it has a really bad rep, but it's not, it's not bad. Like, you could just do it. Sounds like a drug addict. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:44:51 And I was like, I'm not going to casually do PCP. So it's really wild hearing someone just casually advocate for just the everyday just, you know, use of PCP. Well, if he saw the gallon of PCP sketch from The Whitest Kids You Know, he probably would have seen how goofy he looked. That's exactly how he looked. I had that experience basically in real life. And I want the viewers to imagine the smells, the sounds of me taking a shit

Starting point is 00:47:17 Weird So it's a new movie Reality It's the HBO movie With Sidney Sweeney. Is that the one where she plays the person who does the government thing? Yeah, leaks the documents. Yeah. Really weird.
Starting point is 00:47:37 That's my Sidney Sweeney impression. That's pretty good. All right. Yeah, is there a problem? That's my Sidney Sweeney impression. That was good. Thank you. That's how she is in the movie. Yeah, is there a problem? That's my Sidney Sweeney impression. That was good. Thank you. That's how she is in the movie.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Yeah. No, so the movie is weird because they did this whole thing where it's like they kept the pacing. Basically, it's based on an FBI recording of when they came to her house. Does she have a Bronco in the movie? No. This is my Bronco. Have you seen that video? Mm-mm.
Starting point is 00:48:03 Showing off her Bronco? Okay, never mind. I haven't seen it. But basically, they come to the house, and, like, what they do is they make the script the exact same shit as the FBI recording, so it has all the awkward pauses, all the beats, and, like, I see what they were trying to do. I don't think it really worked, though, because the movie literally just comes off as the pacing and everything is just too awkward.
Starting point is 00:48:23 Yeah. It's too weird. Like, I get that that's the point, that's what they were trying to do, but it still was just like, I felt really- Does it seem like it's trying too hard to be awkward almost?
Starting point is 00:48:31 Or does it just actually just feel awkward? It actually feels awkward. And I know that that was the purpose because it's following beat for beat. But does it feel appropriately awkward in the way that it was trying to be? Or does it feel awkward unintentionally? Like, of course it's trying to be awkward, there's like how do i explain this i just don't think it worked in my opinion
Starting point is 00:48:53 that's just my opinion okay don't crucify me for my opinion on the movie reality uh i didn't think it was a horrible movie like it was it was it was it was all right but it was just like they also some of the editing i just couldn't take seriously because whenever they say something that's classified in the recording where it's like it couldn't be there, the person vanishes out of thin air and like a computer glitch and then reappears. So
Starting point is 00:49:16 when they say like the name of something that's classified he'll be like, she'll be like, is this in relation to disappear out of thin air and then reappear. And they keep doing that. And I thought that I was like... That sounds obnoxious. It was, I just couldn't take it seriously.
Starting point is 00:49:32 Yeah. You know? Was it a good effect? Was it like, did it make you laugh the first time it happened? Yeah. Were you like, what the fuck? I did, I laughed. I was like... Because in your head were you like, what the fuck just happened? I was like, it does get really avant-garde in one part, which I did like. It gets really out like surreal, which I liked. But it's just like the awkwardness, it was almost boring.
Starting point is 00:49:54 How was Sydney Sweeney's performance? Oh, she was good. She was good. Like she did a really good job. All the actors were really good. It was just like the, basically, like the first half of the entire movie, maybe even more, is just literally like, can we get you some water? You sure you don't want some water? Yeah, I'm good.
Starting point is 00:50:12 Now, if you want some water, you'd let me know, right? Yeah. Is your dog, can you leash your dog up? It's literally that for like the first half of the movie. Because they're doing it verbatim. Yeah, and they're trying to build this tension. And it does build tension, but it's just like, it was making me squirm a little bit. Maybe that's the, you know, the movie. Because they're doing it verbatim. Yeah, and they're trying to build this tension. And it does build tension, but it's just like, it was making me squirm a little bit.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Maybe that's the point? Yeah. Trying to make you squirm? It was unpleasant, which was the point. But I think it was just kind of, it was a little goofy. Yeah. I don't know if, I don't know if I'll watch, maybe if I'm bored one day.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Well, I mean, it's based on that true story, but it's crazy that that girl has the craziest name I've ever heard in my life. Sydney Sweeney? No, Reality Winner. Oh. That's her actual name. Yeah, it's Reality Winner. The one that leaked the classified documents
Starting point is 00:50:57 and went to prison. How long has she gone? She's out of prison now. Oh, good. Or she's on probation. But that shit's nuts. Reality fucking winner. Does she look similar to Sidney Sweeney?
Starting point is 00:51:12 She ain't as cute. Oh, hell nah. For real. Hopefully reality winner is not a Meghead and watching this. Yeah. That might have just been it. Reality winner might be watching this podcast. How long was reality winner put up five years damn yeah how old was reality winner
Starting point is 00:51:30 20 20 something it's a good portion of a fun part of your life i guess you know i know pretty impressive she taught herself three different farsi and like two other Arabic languages. That's why she worked for the NSA. Pretty impressive. Reality Winner, if you're watching this or listening to this. You did a good job. Yep. And I think you're really cute.
Starting point is 00:51:58 Are you just saying that because Sidney Sweeney played Reality Winner? No, it's because earlier I had said that she wasn't as cute as Sidney Sweeney and I feel bad I don't want well Sidney Sweeney's got drama of her own I think she stole someone's man on the set of a new movie she was filming so yeah the rumor mill's been running Sidney Sweeney stole someone's man man stealer who potentially I don't know the guy's name it was some romantic comedy they were filming and there was some drama about I don't know the guy's name it was some romantic comedy they were filming and there was some drama about I don't I honestly you don't care yeah come on man you should care it's the stuff you should care about I know I know slut talking to you reality i can't listen to this podcast anymore you think anyone in prison
Starting point is 00:52:49 listens to our podcast i hope so because like there are people learn important life lessons there are maybe of how not to end up in prison by starting a successful let's play channel exactly you know that's something they should have thought about before they landed themselves in the can exactly you know what's funny is uh well like know, people in prison do have cell phones. They do have computer access. Not all of them, but some do. So I'm sure it's not unreasonable that there's some guy in prison that is bored out of his mind and he goes on, like, Spotify podcasts or Apple podcasts and he scrolls down. I told my friend in prison to watch you guys, so he did.
Starting point is 00:53:24 So technically now you guys do have been watched in prison. I just imagine someone's going to. Mr. Johnson, you have a visitor. I do? It's the first time in years someone's visited me. It's a super big opportunity. And it's just a, hey, remember me from high school? We didn't really know each other, but I heard you went to prison like 10 years ago.
Starting point is 00:53:45 And I just, you know, because I knew you were in prison, I just wanted to pass on a message. You should listen to this podcast. And the guy's just like, oh, what? Okay. Goes back to his cell. He's like, fuck that. What the fuck? But then he gets on his cell phone.
Starting point is 00:53:59 Starts watching some Super Mega. His cell phone. Yeah, exactly. Oh! Oh,, exactly. Oh! Oh, good God! Oh! This is good! Nelson, everyone's, like, waking up, like, what is he?
Starting point is 00:54:14 What is going on? They all start, like, trying to, like, put cups to the wall and, like, get on the bars and, like, really listen from around the jail cell. Did you hear the Ryan McGee giggle echoing through? It's like, Matt, what the fuck? And all of a sudden, the whole jail just... Everyone, the laughter spreads throughout all the cells. And the guards come in, what the fuck is going on?
Starting point is 00:54:38 See, I was thinking that the guard was outside of the cell laughing too, and they're grabbing the guard, and they're like... Like they're all just having a good time. And the guard's coming, he's like, what's going on in here? You gotta listen to this. Why are you... Was that a fart sound effect? Did they talk about having to take a slimy poop?
Starting point is 00:55:05 You know what? You're all free to go. They just open up the fucking thing. Everyone erupts into applause. Super mega, super mega. Just all down the streets. Just crowds of inmates.
Starting point is 00:55:17 And they rejoin society as productive members and never re-offend. Yeah, exactly. I think that's a perfect ending to their story. That's what potentially could happen if you show... So guys, if you, you know, look up people you went to high school with,
Starting point is 00:55:34 see if any of them ended up in prison, go visit them, tell them about our podcast. Please. Please. Or, maybe try to visit someone famous in prison, like a serial killer or something,
Starting point is 00:55:48 and tell them about our podcast. Come on, that'd be cool. No, no, no, no, no. Like, imagine if Charles Manson was still alive, someone got to visit him and told him about it. No, he's not. He's dead. Okay, what about Ted Kaczynski? Ted Kaczynski? He also sucks.
Starting point is 00:56:03 The Unabomber. Yeah, I know. He died. Yes Unabomber. Yeah, I know. He died. Yes. Rest in peace. Polish fuck. That Polak. Our next guest on the podcast, Brian Koberger.
Starting point is 00:56:15 Yeah, well, unfortunately we had to cancel that one. Yeah. You know, get a cool Let's Play channel. And then he became famous for another reason, unfortunately. channel uh and then he became famous for another reason unfortunately i'm sure that i'm sure there's a serial killer that does let's plays maybe i mean there was that well it wasn't a let's player but fuck bless you danny phantom guy oh yeah Yeah, Randy Stare. Fuck that guy. That's a terrifying story. Went to his place of work, a grocery store, and shot it up.
Starting point is 00:56:51 Killed people. And he documented his whole process leading up to that. And that guy's fucking terrifying. And what I really hate is every time someone has been at my house, and I've been, like, scrolling down YouTube, and the documentary about him, the recommended, it pops up without fail.
Starting point is 00:57:10 People go, Oh, that's you. Cause he like, I remember one time I put it on when some friends were over and we were going to like just watch it cause it's a good documentary. And, uh,
Starting point is 00:57:18 I was like, I was like, I swear to God, if someone says it just in my own head. And then within like 30 seconds, someone was like, I don't want to say it. And I was like, damn it.
Starting point is 00:57:27 Yeah. But yeah, that guy is fucking creepy. Yeah. Very terrifying stuff. Jim has a very similar arc going on right now. Yeah, but. With his own Danny Phantom OCs that he's in love with. I think they look pretty cool.
Starting point is 00:57:42 They are. They're sexy. Luke, throw up. Just throw up one of them. This is Jim's favorite OC that he's created. This is, I don't even know her name, but she's cute. Good job, Jim. I think it's Danny with an I and then Fantris is her name.
Starting point is 00:57:58 I think so. Something like that. Danny Fantris. He's not too creative when it comes to the naming, but the design overall of the character, that's where I think most of the creativity went. Well, he's not too creative as a person to begin with, so it's... Yeah. At least in this, throw some pussy in the mix, and all of a sudden he's creative.
Starting point is 00:58:17 I mean, he has good ideas. He's just too much of a pussy to follow through. Yeah. Like with the survival stream. Exactly. How he chickened out and cheated. Exactly. He cheated everyone who donated out of their money. I feel cheated that I ever Like with the survival stream. Exactly. How he chickened out and cheated. Exactly. He cheated everyone who donated out of their money.
Starting point is 00:58:27 I feel cheated that I ever donated in the first place. Same here. And I'll never make that mistake again. Never. Because I know that he'll just cheat. You know, I probably would have donated $1,000 to every stream he ever did in the future. Yeah. Just because we're friends.
Starting point is 00:58:40 Not anymore. Nope. It's not going to happen. we're friends not anymore nope it's not gonna happen and and we're not saying that you know everyone should unsubscribe from jim's twitch we're not no we're not saying that he's gonna wake up whenever this comes up what the fuck you got your little joke cost me $600. He said, well, a more productive method,
Starting point is 00:59:09 if someone who isn't a cheater, who is an upstanding citizen even, who needs to start streaming soon, but you can go preemptively, you know, follow them, is Luke. Exactly. Yeah. Luke doesn't cheat. No. Luke would never cheat his loyal viewers. And also. Exactly. Yeah. Luke doesn't cheat.
Starting point is 00:59:25 No. Luke would never cheat his loyal viewers. And also here's Justin. Here's Justin's account as well. He's more active. He's actually active currently on the week-to-week basis. He has been pretty active streaming, yeah. So not as much as me.
Starting point is 00:59:40 I still do daily. So I don't know. Viewership goes down whenever whenever they stream granted it's only a couple of people but you know that one person oh i get it yeah justin streams are great so i you know they kind of want to tune in yeah you know it's it's it's what it is but i i just don't want to i just don't want to support a lying bastard like jim no it hurt my feelings the way he lied and and and stole our money you want to support a lying bastard like Jim. No. It hurt my feelings the way he lied and stole our money. You want to give context for those that might not be privy to what Jim and P did?
Starting point is 01:00:15 But just in case you didn't catch that episode. Well, Jim, we're going to state it again. The story is he was doing a survival stream where the premise was each subscription would add about five minutes, right, to the stream. Yeah. And he had a hard out. He gave himself a hard out of Wednesday. Wednesday at noon.
Starting point is 01:00:34 Wednesday at noon. So he was already like, people already understood, even if the timer goes up to that time, he's done. That's right. But Jim, on Tuesday, was in a bit of a i'm over this mood and tuesday was about five days into the yeah five or so days into the into the stream we had been supporting him this whole time in fact matt and i were were honestly some of the main reasons it had been going on for that long was our support of our friend
Starting point is 01:01:06 Jim. I wanted to see him succeed. Yeah, exactly. And I wanted to see him break records. But he just ended up breaking our hearts, unfortunately. Instead of breaking those records. Yeah. What'd he do? Well, on Tuesday he was feeling a bit tired of it.
Starting point is 01:01:22 And he changed it from... He changed the rules. He changed the rules all of a sudden, where each subscription would only add a minute. Instead of five minutes. Instead of five minutes. Which changes things, because, like, think of how much it costs to donate five subs. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:39 Like, one sub is a good bit to fork over, even. It is. So, like, only adding a minute it's like oh so all of a sudden these people's money is worth less even though it's the same amount
Starting point is 01:01:51 like these people like the you just decrease the worth by a to a fifth seemed unfair for the people supporting it at that point in the stream
Starting point is 01:02:00 it's unjust and for the ones who were previously supporting it's unjust not only that but he said if the timer gets down to an hour or gets down to an hour i'm not it's the i'm not adding to the counter and he and i know when he said if it gets down to 20 or 30 minutes but then in an hour that's when he did it when he cut it it off. So he forced the stop. He forced to stop when he had
Starting point is 01:02:26 a hard out just another 24 hours. One more day. Really pisses me off. Yeah. And I'm never going to let him live it down. This technically is grounds for a class action lawsuit. It was disappointing. I can see the commercial now on daytime TV. If you gave money
Starting point is 01:02:41 to Jim Time's survival stream, you may be eligible for financial compensation. A class action lawsuit against Jim for this. I could see it. Yeah. And I think maybe we could start it. I'm sure we can get enough people on board.
Starting point is 01:02:56 I mean. You know what's funny? Do you think we could get, like, technically we could get enough people for a class action lawsuit? We could try. But I don't know. I don't think it would go anywhere. I don't think anything would happen of it because it still have to be accepted by a system of some sort.
Starting point is 01:03:13 I think that there's very valid grounds for a lawsuit there. He made a verbal promise to us. And we gave him money under that pretense, which he then broke. And then made our money less valuable. Exactly. Now, I want to say, every time we donate,
Starting point is 01:03:35 we're supporting Jim. We're supporting our friend. You know? And also, there was also a bit of a controversy. He made up by having a better one, but he bought one pizza for eight people. Yeah. Let's not forget that one. Not,
Starting point is 01:03:48 let's not forget the great. And this was during the stream when he had, this was after a big rush of subscriptions and stuff. So he had the money for two pizzas. He also asks Luke, uh, constantly to, to,
Starting point is 01:04:02 to bring everything like ingredients and stuff for streams. He tells Luke, can you dress up in a funny Pikachu onesie? Because I'm playing Pokemon Go and I thought it would be a good bit if I'm running around trying to catch you. He just makes Luke do a lot. I don't think that's even funny.
Starting point is 01:04:20 That's cringe. Without paying Luke or without saying he'll compensate him at all. So Luke being our podcast editor. So yeah, unfortunately, Jim is a rat bastard. Yeah. It's kind of just the bottom line. That's the consensus right now.
Starting point is 01:04:33 He could change our perception of him, but it's going to take a lot of dedication, work and hard time and commitment. God damn it, Jim. Hard work and commitment. Sorry. Yeah. Also hard time if it calls for it well if the class action
Starting point is 01:04:46 lawsuit goes right he might be facing some hard time exactly he might be the one in prison listening to Super Mega Cast you know
