Holy shit, Matt, play the Star Spangled Banner. It's the 60th episode of the Super Mega Podcast. 60 whole episodes. That is 6 episodes 10 times. Or 10 episodes 6 times. You know, simple multiplication, dude. Yeah, dude. Or that's 30 episodes 2 times. You know, simple multiplication, dude. Yeah, dude. Or that's 30 episodes 2 times.

Good job. Or 15 episodes 4 times. You're doing it. There you go, dude. Or 60 episodes 1 times. Yeah. So, guys, welcome back. We are, right now, our channel is on a one-week hiatus besides this podcast.

Because we ain't going to stop peddling out this glorious podcast. But we're going to be back Tuesday, so don't worry. Tuesday with a new brand rollout. It's going to look a little different. Some thumbnails are... I don't want to give too much away. Ain't going to be too much different, though.

We're just experimenting with some new art styles. Trying some stuff out. So we hope you guys like that. We like it, and we're excited for it. Yeah, so what should we go on to next? What do you want to talk about? Let's just talk about It right off the bat. We both went to go see the movie It.

Yeah, we saw the movie It. Starring Bill Skarsgård. It was good, and Finn Wolfhard, our friend Finn. Yeah, and Wyatt Olandtown. Wyatt Olandtown. Good movie. I really liked it. It's Wyatt Olandtown. Good movie. I really liked it. It's a good horror movie.

Very fun. Well, like, I don't know if I'd categorize it as a horror movie, though. Like, it had horror elements, but it was more so kind of like the coming-of-age story stuff going on. Like, if you think about, like, if you take the movie and, I guess, splice out all the horror parts, that's, like, not that much of the film, I guess splice out all the horror parts that's like not that much of the film I guess but like it was I liked it

first of all I thought it was very entertaining like a fun haunted house type movie it's like a roller coaster all the kids in it you know they did a really superb job. Yeah, they were all fantastic actors. Especially Finn and Sophia.

Yeah, good job, man. And Wyatt and the kid who plays Eddie. Just all of them. A good bunch of actors. Yeah. Did it scare you at all? Oh, yeah, it did scare me at several parts. Freaked me out.

It was more of like a, not like a jump scare type of scare, but more of like a kind of a shocking, like, oh, my God. Yeah, because most of the, well, all of the jump scares you kind of predict because every kind of scene that showcases a jump scare follows the same path as the previous scene kind of. You know, like, it's normal. Something odd happens some you know the kid kind of fixes the situation or sees what's going on silence and then bam

that's kind of usually how it's set up in the movie which you know i if there's one thing i wish like sometimes there was a like a little more inventive jump scares or a little more inventive scares because it kind of followed the same path every time but other than the scares not like being too scary i really enjoyed the film and that that's probably why i actually kept my eyes open during it because i'm a big baby yeah you you were a little scared before time because i hate jump scares yeah but these jump scares didn't bother me because they didn't feel i don't know they weren't as jarring as other ones like yes the loud sound still plays yeah but it wasn't like bother me because they didn't feel, I don't know, they weren't as jarring as other ones. Like, yes, the loud sound still plays.

Yeah, but it wasn't like a lot of, they weren't like cheap jump scares. Yeah. Like how a lot of horror movies will just pack the movie with just these cheap jump scares that are just like every 10 seconds. It's like, I kind of wish that they didn't use that sound effect because other ways they use the sound design to create the jump scare was good. Like, not a spoiler, but like when the walkie-talkie sound was the jump scare. Like, I like when it's that, when it's like normal noises. You know, when the walkie-talkie kind of changes channels or turns on a signal or someone's calling in. And it's loud, yeah.

It goes like that. That's fine. But I don't know, just something about the... I'm like, uh, hmm. We should make a movie and the jump scares, like it's not a horror movie, but it frequently has jump scares where just an old man on a green screen

pops up and goes, boo! And then disappears again. Yeah. And he'll go, see you soon! Bye-bye! And then the movie continues. And then like 25 minutes later, boo!

Did I scare you? And then he goes away. Yeah. And then later on in the movie, he does it again. I'm trying to think, like, have any other good, I don't see that many horror movies that come out just because they all look stupid. You're not wrong. Yeah, but has there been a horror movie this year that I've seen? I think the last true horror movie I saw was Boo! I that i've seen um i think the horror movie the last

true horror movie i saw was boo i'm a dia halloween that was that was horrific in the way that uh we were miserable mostly like throughout the show that was some true horror i do have to say we're gonna see number two we are seeing two that comes out this year for this halloween right yep oh that's soon man they pump that shit out yeah because it's horrible quality they just make that have you seen the trailer i have not seen the trailer actually off i watched after this podcast awful and then uh next week's podcast i'll i'll give my review on the trailer and what i thought so stay tuned for that yeah but um so i mean just to wrap it up i guess for me just it was a fun time i had a lot of fun with it got a good amount of laughs yeah i feel

really funny i feel like for me at least it was worth the ticket price like i had a good time in the theater i went to go see it again specifically because i know after opening weekend the theater won't be full and it's one of those movies that's fun to see with a crowd of people it's one of those movies yeah where it's more it's it becomes more entertaining the more people that you're around if and if those people are susceptible to like cheap scares and and eerie situations and stuff yeah and you already know what's coming because i've already seen the first time it's kind of fun to kind of feel the reaction yeah and i mean we're going to see it i'm going to see it twice you're going to see it for a third time with all the all the grumps crew so yeah excited for that but um but yeah overall good. I would recommend seeing that.

So that's all our scary clown talk. Hey, Matt, we're going to play a game. Let's play a game, dude. It's called Pick a Segway. Now you got this red Segway. It looks really shiny, right? Then we got this blue Segway, okay? But this blue Segway has a horn.

See, it kind of sounds like my voice doing a horn noise. Now we got this green Segway has a horn. See, it kind of sounds like my voice doing a horn noise. Yeah. Now we got this green Segway. Now, this green Segway has three fucking wheels. Okay. So, which Segway are we taking, Matt? I'm taking green because right now... Okay, here's the thing real quick. Before we take that Segway.

Okay. People, you know, you have a favorite color. My favorite color has never been the same. My favorite color literally changes like every few weeks. Mine changes depending on what we're talking about like my mood like i don't think i have a favorite color in gen like maybe in general i have favorite color but like if i'm playing a video game depending on how the video game's graphics or shaders oh yeah yeah like i'm like i like blue in this game more than i like green in this game like or if i'm watching a movie and i like like the different tones like Like this color. I don't know.

It's just like it's always kind of subjective in terms of what I'm doing and shit like that. I've never had one color that's been my favorite color. But I've always loved white and black. I just like very neutral colors. I mean you know me. I wear mostly

black. Mostly black? That's the Ryan McGee look. I should add some more color. Dude we should make a fucking commercial I mean you know me I wear mostly black mostly black that's the Ryan McGee look um you need a clothing line dude we should make a fucking commercial for like a really nice American Eagle Urban Outfitters commercial for the Ryan McGee clothing line look I'm telling you guys if I started my own clothing store it would be

the most comfortable shit like think about walking to a clothing store it's a bunch of these type of shirts but like in all different colors there's plain black T-shirts, like there's plain black T-shirts, but there's plain white T-shirts. It's just plain shirts. That's all it is. There's no logos.

And then there's an assortment of different designs and then just plain gym shorts. And then you have just a plethora of different material flip flops and sandals. I'm liking it. I'm liking it. Yeah. But in hats, a bunch of hats. Today, my mood, Ryan. My mood is green.

Green is my favorite color out of those. So let's get on the green segue. Okay, here we go. Whoa, dude. Whoa. Whoa, this is a bit janky. I've never ridden one with three wheels before. Three wheels tip easier than two wheels, just saying.

Skyrim. I've been playing some Skyrim recently. Skyrim? Yeah. F yeah, dude. You played before, right? Yeah, I some Skyrim recently. Skyrim? Yeah. F yeah, dude. You played before, right? Yeah, I played... I'm caught in that whole situation where I keep remaking my character.

Over and over again and restarting. But I finally made the character that I'm happy with. You sure about that? He's a dark elf. A dark elf? Yeah. I'm going to start planting seeds of doubt in your mind. So now that you've started finally enjoying it and feeling comfortable with that character

I'm going to look over your shoulder and be like your character doesn't look very... Well there's one thing, I love his special attack but there's one thing, he does minus 25% melee damage and I'm like I like using melee weapons but I'd rather have strong magic

and a strong resistance to fire magic than being able to beat up people just a little bit more melee weapons. Oh, man. But I'd rather have strong magic and a strong, like, a strong resistance to fire magic than being able to beat up people just a little bit more bit. I'm just saying. When I played, I made my character a, uh, Khajiit? What's it called? Khajiit. Khajiit? I think so. Did I get it right? Really? Yeah, that's the cat one, right? Yeah, yeah. I made mine the cat one. I'm a cat guy.

I thought they looked cool. They do look cool. Um, I, the lizard people are pretty cool. I wish they had a wolf people. Ooh, that'd be cool. I would love that. Like, if they had dog people, I would definitely do that. This sounds weird. It sounds like we're just, like, setting the stage for, like, a furry talk.

Why don't they just say, there's gotta be a mod for Sky where you can just be a furry. I'm gonna look that up. A mod where, like, there's gotta be mods where they have new races. Yeah. I'm so stupid I'm gonna have to restart the whole game again. Holy shit, wait, I'm gonna look up a mod right now. We're gonna find out live on the podcast if there's a fucking mod.

Here we go, Matt. Are you ready? This is one of my favorite segments of all time. Here we go, okay, okay. The Night Spawn? Look at all these mods, bro. Man, I still want that Confederate furry suit. Well, I couldn't find a mod on the spot

uh if you guys can send if you guys can put in awesome skyrim mods in the comments section uh put in like i usually use nexusmods.com if you can put in a link to that i already have the nexus mod manager so it's easy for me to download these mods uh please and if there's one that allows me to be a dog person, let's do that. And I know you're like, oh, why don't you just be a werewolf in the game? Because I want to be a dog person. Ryan's looking for epic Skyrim mods, guys. If I could be a giraffe person,

that would be great. Like, if I could be a pig, no, a pig person. Help Ryan out, guys. Help him get some epic Skyrim mods. He needs these mods, guys. He needs these mods. Please, please, please, please. Oh my god, he needs these mods more than he needs... What's the last computer game you legitimately played? Like, probably got kind of addicted to and played for, like, over five hours.

PUBG. PUBG? You played more than five hours of PUBG? It's when you were out of town. Yeah. Ah. I did. I played quite a bit of PUBG.

Right, like, the week it first came out, I played a lot of PUBG. And then as soon as I got it, you got bored of it. You didn't want to play with me. No, I... But it was okay to play with everyone else but me. I burned through games quick. Especially when I asked you if you wanted to play with me, and then you said yes, and then you never played with me.

That was pretty cool, too. Well, I mean, you can take it however you want to take it, Ryan, but I just, I got bored of it pretty quick. You know, Ryan, maybe it's because like to uh divvy up my time into doing intellectual things instead of playing mind-numbing video games like sleeping like trying fine wines and reading books you and i had wine at the uh it uh when we actually i like wine a lot it helped to say yeah i i think i want to go to the arc light more specifically just to get buzzed during like horror movies or fun movies and shit like that.

That was, I've never been drunk in a movie theater. Not while I wasn't drunk. I've never been tipsy in a movie theater before. I've never been drunk in a movie theater either. I'm not even tipsy. I was buzzed, but it felt good. A little buzz. It was nice.

So we saw Nintendo Direct taking this in another direction. Yeah. There's a new Nintendo Direct just aired. I mean, this won't be relevant in like four days but it nothing surprising it was a disappointing nintendo direct i was expecting something something good my only like memories i have of nintendo directs because they've been really recent like the only thing i can always remember is just at the end they just go and that's it for this nintendo direct and i'm always like oh oh. Like I've never been, whoa!

The good ones were when it was Iwata. When Iwata did them. Yeah, but those were like the big conference type of ones. These are kind of like small, mini like updates. Man, I gotta pour one out from my man Iwata. Iwata-san, man. I gotta go home and crack a brew and pour it out for him. Is he dead?

Yeah. Iwata died. When'd he die? Two years ago? Three years ago? Two or three years ago?. Is he dead? Yeah. Iwata died. When'd he die? Two years ago? Three years ago? Two or three years ago? What did he do? Dude, he's one of the main Nintendo guys. I'm kidding. Okay. For a second I was like, you don't know who Iwata is? God, dude. That sucks. When Miyamoto dies, that will be a tragedy. Like,

Japan will have a week of mourning for that. Well, the thing that's scary is that all these people have you know remained in charge and I like their um more than not I like their vision because it's very simple and they're like it's very the ideas are fun video games they're not like grueling first-person shooters you know they're yeah they're Mario has a fun hat with eyes and you throw that hat on other things. Or Mario has this thing on his back that squirts water. All Nintendo games have been really fun.

And I'm afraid that when these people start going, it's going to start becoming even... It's corporate right now, but even more corporate to the likes of how EA and Ubisoft and how those companies handle themselves. Especially Activision and shit. Once Miyamoto's gone, then it's going to kind of just change from what it was. I hope that doesn't happen. Like after Miyamoto and Reggie, but hopefully they put the company in hands that they trust. Hopefully they have a say in that. I believe they do. I love Nintendo.

Man, Nintendo's great. Nintendo is a wonderful company that I will always love unless they do something terrible like endorse terrorist groups or something. Even then, I'd still I will always love unless they do something terrible like endorse like terrorist groups or something but I'd still play Mario oh I'd still play Mario I mean I don't see Miyamoto endorsing terrorist groups

it's possible I'm not going to rule it out but no endorsing doesn't mean like giving money or anything yeah or just giving them a shout out like the end of a Nintendo Direct he shouts out some like terrorist group in Africa or something like Iwaka 10 to 6 Iwaka 10 to 6 yeah dude itaka 10-6? Yeah, dude. It's one of the worst terrorist groups out there.

Are you joking right now? What do you mean? It's in Africa. It's been the big news for the past week. No, it hasn't, Ryan. You're pulling the wool over my eyes right now. There's no such thing as Iwaka 10-6. You're bullshitting this right now

and then tomorrow some attack is going to happen under the name of Iwaka 10-6 as Iwaka 10-6. Okay. Yeah, like, you're bullshitting this right now, and then tomorrow, like, some attack is going to happen under the name of Iwaka 10-6. Iwaka 10-6. And it's all going to point to me. And I'm going to be arrested because I predicted it. I'm never going to see you again. They want to know my time-traveling powers, but really it was just me making a stupid joke. And then people, some dumbass, saw it online and was like, well, that's a pretty fucking sick name, bro. Iwaka 10-6.

Is it 10-2-6? Like a job? No, T-E-N-D-E. Tinda and then 6, just S-I-X? But Roman numeral 6. Okay, so V-I. Yeah. Iwaka 10-6. That actually sounds kind of cool, man. Iwaka 10-6. Yeah, dude.

That's a cool terrorist organization. I mean, a cool name. Cut that out of context. that's a cool terrorist organization I mean a cool name cut that out of context that's a cool terrorist organization man I'm genuinely worried nowadays about how hard this ad stuff's coming down on YouTube like I get a little uneasy even just saying words like terrorist organization because they do have these transcripts

that read the videos and judge things based on that and I'm scared that saying something as simple as that, that'll flag it. Or lessen the ads at least. Channels that are smaller than us right now are being like, I've seen them being attacked. And it's just like, this is the downfall of YouTube. Like a lot of people are like, there's no coming back from this. No, it'll never be what it was when we started SuperMega. It'll never, well, we came in late to the

party with super manga yeah unfortunately the best time for us to have gotten into this shit was back when you and i were like middle schoolers yeah that was like the best time for like middle schoolers or like early like high school or something i think i think that was the best time being successful for our channel to be the most successful i think probably three or four years ago would have been i think definitely four years ago. Four or five. Better late than never, guys. You get this good podcast in 2017 instead of

2013. Yep. Those who are listening right now and we don't upload any more videos, that's pretty cool, right? Yeah, like... In the future, when we're not uploading any videos, this channel's dead. It's just a catalog of all of our bullshit there will come a point that's weird man there's gonna be someone's listening to this exact like someone's gonna listen to this after our channel

stopped and be like whoa this is this is sad that's gonna be the top comment i'll be looking for it it's weird because this is 60 you're 60 this is like this channel is a chapter in our life you know like where basically it's everyday it's just cataloging and it's just little bits of our life where we talk about what's going on in our life we talk about our opinions at this point in our life random bullshit

inappropriate shit that we're gonna look back when we're 40 and be like oh god I wish I didn't say that but like all of this stuff this channel I think it's cool because you know this is our lives it's like a time capsule exactly it's like a time capsule filled with let's plays it's a time capsule filled with let's plays isn't that what the next generation wants a time capsule yeah oh wow they played conquer's bad fur day they played mario maker oh damn it, because, you know, our opinions as we get older will change. Our standards will change.

Our views on the world will change. Shit like that. More things will happen. And we're going to be waiting on the world to change. Waiting, waiting, waiting on the world to change. But it's like all of this is, like, encapsulated right now. It's preserved. So there will come a point when there will be a day when it has been 10 years since we've uploaded a video to this channel

it will have gone without a new upload in 10 years and all of these videos will still be here all these podcast episodes will still be on the internet everything we're saying, when we're 70 if the internet doesn't get wiped somehow in some nuclear incident or some shit whenever I think about this, it still blows my mind like when I'm thinking of

from this moment right here 150 years from now everyone on the planet currently will not exist and it'll be just a fresh new bunch of people but this shit we're saying right now could still be listened to 150 years from now these exact waveforms coming out of my mouth in this exact second but in 150 years imagine how much more catalog the internet will have how much if the internet's still around. We'll be buried. Like a bunch of stuff could be – look, a lot changed when – I guess it was – was it early middle school or just elementary school?

When was the internet kind of getting super big? Like when was Google and AOL – When was AOL kind of – Was that like elementary school? Yeah, elementary school. Yeah, so. Like late 90s, early 2000s. That should happen fast too.

Oh my God, dude, the internet and technology. Like the 2000s. I'd say from 1998 or like 2000, just that period to today. The technological. Say like 97 or something. Yeah, like 97, 96 96 around when i was born from the time i was born to today technology is just blown up at such an exponential rate yeah it's like before that it was kind of it's going up going up going up and then then mentioned in the internet

everything just shot up and now i think it's kind of starting to plateau off again maybe a little bit um but holy shit man we it's cool that we got to grow up and live through a time period in which the world changed at such a massive fast rate technologically i have to say it was i know like people who are older than us like in their 30s and 40s if if they ever listen to this they'd roll their eyes but still like i'm i'm talking i'm speaking from my perspective yeah from our perspective like it's it's hard i i'm glad that i lived in it i lived in a time where um stuff wasn't as convenient as it is today yeah oh like calling your friends on a like having to remember your friends numbers and like kind of putting them in like a paper address book in your house or searching for their number in a phone book and shit like that.

Like legitimately pulling out a phone book and looking up like their last name and trying to guess which one is them. And like I would call I'd call probably the wrong house once or twice by accident the first time I did. I'm like, oh, sorry, wrong, wrong, short or wrong, whatever last name it was. I remember I I still have some of my childhood friends' phone numbers memorized. I still know them to this day just because I called them so much on the phone. And it's funny because the irony of it is you look back at those times and you're like, oh, those were simpler times. But they weren't because you had to do more work to do certain tasks.

So technically they weren't simpler times. But like hanging out, like When I was a kid, we'd go out and explore in the woods for fun. We'd go out into construction areas and go inside the buildings that were under construction. I miss that stuff. We'd go out and ride bikes.

Like, hey, you want to ride a bike? Sure. Now today, it's just... I mean, it's my fault. I could get... Hey, my birds! No, I could 100% go and ride a bike and stuff, but it's...

I... It's more... I don't think it's really technology is the problem. I think it's my age because when I was a kid, there was just less to do. I couldn't go out and drive places. You didn't have technology. Being inside was a punishment. Yeah. Well, like being inside by my room without electronics and stuff was a punishment.

And now today, like it's – you can pretty much do anything you want. God, isn't it fucking wild to think that what a smartphone is, like, this little piece of plastic and glass and computer and shit, this little thing in your pocket, you have the entire world of information at your fingertips. Any time of the day, I can look up anything I want and read about it in the world. It's over, it's like probably 10 times more powerful than your first computer was your first home computer was oh it's it's more powerful than the the first like spaceships that went to the moon i think like that's fucking crazy the new iphone 10 looks let's talk about

the iphone 10 i like the look the price is fucking ridiculous 9999 is a starting price for a consumer-level product. But as I said, that might be like the base price of buying the phone on its own. And then if you get like a Verizon or something plan, it'll knock it down to like $700, $600. But still, that's fucking for a phone? Well, I mean, iPhones have always been in the range anywhere between $400 to $700. And what makes me mad is they charge this price because they know people will buy it, which just keeps making the price go up. Well, like the price is one thing, but they're also just they're getting rid of the fingerprint like touch ID thing. And they're replacing it with a facial scan.

Tell me how that's going to work in the dark. Tell me how that's like easier to do. It'll probably like flash the flashlight on your face. A lot of a lot of I don't want to flash. Like it's so easy just to put your thumb print up on every time i have to unlock my phone i have to hold it up to my face and have a flash happen yeah that's so stupid i don't know and then like a certain way you get to certain screens is like a diet like a diagonal down swipe in the top left corner does this like it brings down the

control panel and it's like okay this is all cool and everything but i don't know apple recently especially with their decisions um with like macbooks and stuff they've really kind of been hitting a sour point with me in terms of same here in terms of design and cost yeah those those the two things honestly it's design and cost they're their products like i like apple products i don't hate apple um i have a macbook and i use it for editing and work and stuff and i really do like it they're great uh personal computers yeah and i love they're overpriced crazy overpriced yeah but you know i have an iphone for good quality or at least that's what that's what the excuse was for all the years of buying mac and apple

because back in the day it's like mac was like the fancy computer and it was like this is the the good powerful thing that's why it's like Mac was like the fancy computer and it was like, this is the good, powerful thing. That's why it's more expensive. But nowadays, when you can build a computer for a third of the price that's two times more powerful or get it assembled for you for the same price and it's like really good and can do a lot more than a Mac can, they don't really have the excuse of a high price anymore. I don't think I can go back to like a high-end Mac or whatever after having Windows 10 and shit. I mean, just everything that I'm into in terms of gaming and editing just works a whole lot better. And downloading plugins and like, let's just even say mods, bring it full circle. That's a thousand times easier to do.

Oh, well, Windows is more compatible with everything. Like most things are designed with Windows in mind. So Windows will always be the more compatible thing. But I don't know what it is. I think maybe it's because I grew up with Mac at home because my dad is an architectural illustrator. So he used Mac his whole career. And I remember when my dad got his – we got our first family computer. And this was early 2000s.

And it was one of those Macs that had the big fat back. And it was like colored and kind of see-through. Yeah. It was like the. It was like the white and then semi-transparent back. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Okay. So that was like our first family computer. There actually might have been one before that. But I think that's the first one I remember. And I don't know. Then we always. My dad always had a Mac. And that's what he did as architectural work.

So that's what I used for school assignments. That's what I used for school assignments. That's what I used for fun. That's what I learned Photoshop and editing on. So I have like a special place in my heart for Apple and the Apple interface. Well, they helped me all throughout my high school career. I learned video editing and photo editing and everything like that in terms of what I do today for a living. I learned on a Mac first. Yeah.

I like editing on Macs. I really do. I think it's a good computer for editing. I think that you're better off, though, building a custom computer to edit on. I have not been happier with any computer. But I like the one you built. Yeah. I love I love the one I built.

Yeah. I mean, if you're looking to get into like video editing, like hardcore video editing, you need something that has a good processor and and graphics card and stuff certain macs have that but at the base price that you're getting for a really good mac that can handle a lot of rendering yeah you're gonna be forking over a lot of money than you could have been spending like kind of building it yourself or uh doing what i did and just ordering the ordering someone to build it for you. There's a lot of things that Windows does better than Mac,

and I think there's a couple things Mac does better than Windows. For a while, I thought Mac's interface was simpler and easier to manage because when Microsoft introduced – what Windows was it? I can't remember exactly which one. It's the one that made everything turn into blocks and it was hard to find the control panel. I hated that when that first came out. 8.1 was good but when 8 first dropped

they made it like a tablet essentially and I'm like fuck this. This sucks. But I really like the Mac layout interface. It's like very clean. And I like that for that reason, but I also really like windows. I don't know.

A lot of people are like either one side of the other, like hardcore windows, hardcore Mac. Honestly, I'm kind of fully in the middle between the two of them. Maybe a little more towards windows. Me too. Leaning towards windows as well.

But I have a preference of if I were to get another laptop I'm probably going to be looking at Mac first I just like Mac laptops more even though they've done something stupid recently which is kind of hindering my want to buy one right now

which is the taking out of the USB ports. Why did they do that? Because I mean you can buy the little extra thing or whatever that adds USB ports, but it's still USB ports. I got when they took away the CD drive. I got when they changed the charger cable. The charger cable is their own thing. That's cool.

They want to innovate and do something different. And I like the lightning cable, I think is what it's called. Oh, I actually really like the lightning cable. That's such a better improvement than from what was before yeah but there's nothing that's really improved as of yet because of this maybe in the future they'll be like oh i'm so glad that they do this and this is the normal thing now but usb ports are still used for most of fucking everything from not from certain headsets to hard drives to mice, keyboards, everything. Like USB is something that I don't think is becoming obsolete.

I could be wrong and maybe it is and I just don't realize it. But I get the rise of like USB-C. It's going to eventually become obsolete. But currently there's no need to take it out of a computer. Because there's a necessity. We're not at that point yet. There's a necessity to have a base USB port without base usb port without having to buy any extra at least one yeah you know and then also same how they took out the headphone jack on the the iphone and these are

and these are on the macbook pro which is like these are like for people that want to do some travel editing and stuff you go on travel like you go travel and like someone gives you a hard drive for something it's like sorry i can't plug this in i have to go buy the accessory i wouldn't be as mad if well if you have a computer you're gonna buy the accessory probably with does it come with the accessory maybe or maybe not but i still think it's ridiculous if you lose the accessory you still have to buy another one i just more things that you have to keep track of is there's a problem somewhere in that because they took it out for a reason they took out the usb port for a reason i don't know why i'm not into computers that much and i

don't know too much about computers to really get into the logistics of maybe they didn't have enough room or maybe they couldn't, but I kind of don't see how they could because you see like Chromecast computers or some of them have USB ports and shit, and they're the tiniest sons of bitches that don't have to do that much. That's the thing.

It's like thinner and smaller doesn't mean better. I'd honestly rather have a thick, heavier laptop that has everything I need in it I do have to say the version of the MacBook before the newer ones is an excellent version that if you're looking for a really good laptop for editing and stuff I mean it works for me I love that

touch bar I love the look of the touch bar on the new Macs and I love the look of them but just the whole USB port thing is just kind of a bummer yeah but I think even if I were to buy a laptop I still would probably bite the bullet and get like the additional thing where I

plugged a thing into it. I probably would too. And that's the problem. We are the problem. Because Apple knows that. Apple knows that's people's mindset. They're going to get mad about it but they're still going to buy it anyway and still give them money and they'll still continue to raise prices on things. Yeah. So it's like that's the problem mindset they're gonna get mad about it but they're still gonna buy it anyway and still give them money and they'll still continue to raise prices on things yeah so it's like that's the problem or i could just get a uh ipad or you can get it you can get a leapfrog

a leapster or whatever they're called actually the a laptop that uh no i've been looking at the windows surface i i think i really like those computers. It's just a travel computer. It turns into a tablet and then a computer thing. Yeah, I have one. I thought you gave it to Tucker. Oh yeah, I did. I thought I was giving it to him later. I forgot I already gave it to him. So Tucker has one. Yeah, so I just liked the feel of it. I went and played around with one

in the mall area. I don't know. That's probably strong competition with the new MacBooks. I actually probably would go with one of those instead. The one that I had though, I tried video editing on it and it was not good. Well, I wouldn't do. That's probably strong competition with the new MacBooks. I actually probably would go with one of those instead. I had the one that I had, though. I tried video editing on it and it was not good. Well, I wouldn't do video editing. It was really bad for video editing. But everything else was cool.

It was fun. Yeah. Space Station 13 on it had a good time. I just want to travel laptop mainly for movies and stuff like that. Or like writing stuff out. And I think like editing would help too. But anyway enough on the Mac PC debate.

We did want to bring something up. As you know we're on a little hiatus right now because we're trying to rework on branding and we mentioned a little bit at the beginning of the podcast and she's already said it on Twitter but we did just want to I guess say it officially. Twitter and Tumblr. Our channel artist

Our wonderful amazing, great, fantastic beautiful She's a cutie. Foolish Captain Kia She is actually no longer our channel artist but this is not because we had a falling out

or anything like that we're just trying something new still keeping contact yeah we still love that girl we're still really like chill because every time people stop working together or do different things on the internet with different people people are always like

something happened something happened there's drama internet drama no drama we just are trying something new with a new style and that I think that's one. Internet drama. Believe it or not, no drama. We just started trying something new. Just going with a new style. And I think that's one of the things that I have to commend Kia with in particular is that this could have been like one of those things where it turned weird,

but it actually was a very kind of graceful maneuver. Like it was very understanding and it's like, hey, we want to take this new direction. It's just kind of like informing a friend of like, hey, I just need to, I want to change something with a personal thing that I'm doing. And it's like, yeah,

that they were helping you out with it before. I was like, oh, okay. And so we've loved the work that she's like done. She's done a fantastic job on the channel. Go look at those thumbnails, by the way. Get all those thumbnails. Go check her out on Twitter actually too. Yeah.

Like give her a follow. She's been, We cannot stress enough How much she has helped this channel Make it's mark And just kind of get out there Because She's done a lot of work with the thumbnails Behind the scenes

Some of y'all may pay for the Patreon stuff Where you get to see her draw the thumbnails But every once in a while I know you do too but we'll pop in a stream every now and then just to kind of watch and see what's going on. She's an amazing person to work with. Anyone who is looking for someone that is just very easy to work with

and does good quality work, she is the animator for you. Yeah, honestly, if you're looking for someone like that, please reach out to her. Yeah, because I know she does commissions every now and then. If you're interested in that, remember also, I think look at her Tumblr and Twitter and see if they're open and blah, blah, blah. But if that's something you're interested in, I definitely recommend her. She's a wonderful girl.

And we actually are still going to do some stuff with her in the future, whether it be merch or an animation or something along the lines of. So that's just something we want to fill you guys in on. But our new channel artist is a guy. It goes by DonDoRoRoRo on Twitter. DoRoRoRo. DoRoRoRo. We're trying something new. Maybe it's a little ballsy, but it's something that Ryan and I want to try

and we feel good about, so we hope that you guys like it too. But anyways, oh, my God, man. Anyway, 2017 is flying by. I know. Like this is just one of those years that just whoosh. I mentioned that when we were on our way to Taco Bell like a few days ago. I don't know why I remember specifically why we were on our way to Taco Bell, but I remember just kind of being taken aback by remembering like all the major

stuff that's happened this year and going wow it's almost over can I tell you something what wasn't a few days ago that was at the very beginning of the month and we're talking about how no it was like I can't know it was not really we're thinking I can't believe August is already over and now September is halfway over

like life is flying by dude damn and the words of Ferris Bueller, you gotta slow down and sniff roses. Some shit like that. Rosebud. Ferris Bueller. Yes. The classic rosebud from Ferris Bueller. But yeah, this year's been...

I mean, it's not... It's, of course, a long ways from over, because we've still got, like, four months or so. Yeah. But still, it's just... I remember new year's eve and exactly three months three and a half months it just it did not feel that long ago some what i'm wondering is like because i mean we're both young i'm 21 you're 23 and i've heard people say this they say that you know as you get older life starts to go faster and faster and

you'll feel shorter and shorter because you know because you you get into more of a um rhythm yeah well not even only that it's it's also because your scale of time becomes longer so when you're two or let's let's say you're five years old you know you've only existed for five years so a year seems like a really long time but you know when you're 20 you've you've done 20 of those so a year doesn't seem as long anymore but But now hear me out. I think it's due to the fact like that may be it, but I think it's mainly due to the fact, as I previously said, because when you do, when you have a ritualistic kind of lifestyle,

you know, get up, go to work, do this stuff. Your brain just kind of starts to kind of turn off remembering things. Cause it's like blending things together. It starts blending things together. Cause like,

Oh, we're doing this and this, but then when it encounters something new, then it kind of starts to reinvigorate again. And when you're young, everything's new. Yeah. So you're just always like, oh, we're going here, we're going here, we're doing this. Blah, blah, blah.

What I'm excited for is the last quarter of the year is always my favorite. I thought you were going to be like, I just can't wait for the last quarter of my life. I just can't wait to be on an old man in a bed just waiting to die for the last i can't i honestly can't tell if i'm if i'm excited to be an old man or i'm dreading it i'm dreading it i'm dreading it there's a lot of stuff that you're going to be unable to do and a lot of stuff that's more painful to do and a lot of stuff that you're not going to be able to stop yourself from doing when you're older i'm half dreading and half excited i guess i'm not excited at all because i i it's gonna be like i'm not excited to die i don't want to worry as much i want to die like you i don't know you just don't have to worry that much i guess maybe like you know you already have all the money you're gonna make

in your life already made but i can't i can't put myself in that mindset i'm young i'm young right now and you know when i'm older i'm sure i'll feel like that but like i just know the scary part about it is i know there's gonna be one day where i'm an old man and i'm just gonna be going god life life went by fast why didn't super mega have more subscribers damn it it's just it's just sometimes i i stay awake at night and i just like i just get this crippling fear of there'll be a moment where life fades to black and I'm gone. Like my eyes will start to close or my vision will start to like blur. And then just like within a five second period,

I'm fucking just gone. Life's done. Yeah. Like everything I've experienced is only up. The only way it can survive is if the internet still goes on. And if people still remember this, like not this shit, but like me in general i like i i don't care if people remember me on this type of shit i i i care about kind of like people i'm close to like friends and family it's weird because we're kind

of in the first one of the first few generations of people that their memory will be preserved forever or as long as the internet exists because of the internet people like us that create stuff online like our memory and uh i don't want to say legacy it's like our legacy but what i mean is like our lives and our memories will be preserved after we die because of all this stuff so we're kind of the first generation that leaves a huge uh it's easy to leave stuff behind because you're leaving more footprints on the internet yeah so um but yeah that's the thing it's like life is life is a it's a crazy thing and you only get it once so that's that's why it's it's that's a weird thought thinking about like one day you will die it's a crazy ride just uh that's why you gotta make the

best of it man gotta fucking enjoy it do fun shit because everything you worry about one day won't matter. Exactly. Everything that you're thinking of is all in perspective to yourself. Like it's your perspective. Like that's it. And I'm not saying it's easy to change your perspective. It could be one of the hardest things to do. It could be, as I said, yeah, as you said, sorry.

It could be one of the hardest things that you do or it can be this epiphany moment but just because you didn't get that epiphany moment and you find it difficult doesn't mean like it won't ever get better or you won't find a reason to kind of like enjoy your day or enjoy a certain memory or moment because like that's the thing you know like everyone deals with shit in their life some people have more shit than others and some people handle it differently and some people are more optimistic something more pessimistic but like everyone has to deal with shit in their lives and things do get shitty in everyone's life there's no way to avoid that but you just got to keep in mind that like you know life is it's long but in the in the big picture it's short and life is what you make

it ultimately yeah the way you deal with things your mindset your response to things what you give power to have power over you you know it's like it's really all up to you and it's easier said than done yeah of course like i i never wanted to come across uh it whenever it gets into this type of subject that it's like, oh, it's easy. Change your mindset. Oh, everybody has shit in their life. Fucking change. You know, you just be happy.

Like, it's not that hard. I think ultimately people need to at least know that it can get better. I don't I don't care if like you you can't find a way that you can get better. You just need to know that there is a possibility in this life that you have that it will get better. It could be tomorrow. It could be within a few hours. It could take years. But there's always just a better spot to be in.

Always, yeah. Especially if you're young. If you're young and you think things are shit, it's like – I don't want to sound cliche like, well, you're young. But you are young. If you're my age and you think things are absolutely shit you've lived one-fifth to one-fourth of your life how do you and you know all of that couldn't have been filled with shit there's happy moments so how do you know that it's not just because you're young you're you'll get older life changes my life will be completely different from what it is

in 10 20 years yeah i guess my only this this so weird, but I guess my advice would be to recognize that it can get better and then seek professional help so that they can help point you in the direction to get to that place. Oh, absolutely. Professional help is just 100% where people need to look. Because there's a stigma that, you know, going to therapy or getting help is, is well i'm glad that the stigma is actually going away these days but at least back when i was younger when when you were younger it seems like there was more of a stigma around mental health and around like um going to seek help means that you have something wrong with you going to a therapist to talk about your problems means that you have a mental illness or you're crazy and that's simply not the case a therapist

is someone that you can simply go to to vent about your problems. And it's someone that's specialized in problems you have. And they can give you the tools you need to work around problems. I go to a therapist and I love going to a therapist. Almost everyone I know goes to a therapist. Like I'd say 50 to 75% of people I know go to a therapist.

And there's nothing wrong with that. So for people out there that feel like you have shit, it doesn't matter how big or small if you have anxiety depression you're bipolar whatever like going to a therapist is seriously a life-changing thing that i recommend everyone does i think everyone should see a therapist and if a therapist doesn't work for you that's no like that doesn't mean that oh well i've literally tried everything i can like there are other methods too there are different forms of therapy than a therapist exactly there's a lot of different a lot of different forms you know find something that works for you and also if you go to a therapist and it's not working

that probably just means that therapist doesn't work there are tens of thousands of therapists they're not all the same they use different methods they're all different so if you go to one and it doesn't work try another one don. Don't give up. I remember like there's one therapist that I didn't like. And it was mainly because her religious bias played a lot into the therapy sessions. Yeah. And, you know, I could let that taint that. But I had late go moving on from that. I also had a better therapist.

I've had a better therapist before her. And I recognize that and um you know you just have to see that therapists are people with their own um personality and just like how you can't be friends with everyone you run across in the street not every therapist is going to work for you and you have to find a therapist that you legitimately click with and are able to share something with if you feel uncomfortable with a, then maybe that's not the right therapist for you. Because I guess one of the biggest things about going to a therapist is you have to be honest. And you have to say things and you have to tell them stuff that you don't even want to say.

Well, therapists and doctors, any sort of medical professional. You have to be honest. You can't have a bias like, oh, I don't want them to judge me. That's their job. They're a therapist or doctor. They're not going to judge you. You can lie to your friends. You can lie to your friends you can lie to your family you can lie to whoever you want to but just when it comes to mental health or any type of medical issue i guess but

mainly talking about mental health right now do not lie to your medical professional do not lie to a doctor do not lie to a therapist do not do not do not lie to people who are um possibly prescribing you medications. Absolutely. Because there's a lot of information that you could be hiding from them that they need or would be beneficial for you in the end. Yeah. So, I mean, the whole point of those people is to help you. And if you're not being honest with them, you can't help yourself.

So, yeah. Yeah. And I don't want to like put a damper on anything but uh when this podcast goes out it's going to be september 14th and a lot of you already know that matt and i had a friend uh two years ago back in 2015 um daniel kyer uh just a great all-around friend i don't know how to explain it. We all just clicked together. Him and I moved out here a long time ago.

I knew him since high school. And around two years ago, September 16th, he attempted suicide. And that started the ball rolling on a lot of people's lives changing and a lot of things being brought up into the forefront and unfortunately he did pass away september 18th 2015 um i just want to say you know of course i miss him and of you know there's a lot of people that miss him and there's a lot of people that are thinking about him currently and will always be thinking about him but i also want to make room to remember what he did and how talented he was he has a sound cloud if you could go listen to some of his music it'll be in the description links to his

the stuff he created out of his passions will be in the description and uh we did syndigo look up that channel um he was also on a i think one kids with problems video if not two yeah yeah yeah there's there's just a bunch of content with Daniel out there and I would hate to see his creative energy go with him I guess and I want to kind of keep it out there and I if I could recommend any song of his it's my favorite it's what if I'm right it should be on a sound cloud but it would seriously mean a lot if you at least tried to listen or view or just enjoy what he was able to bring to people

before he unfortunately passed away way too early I miss him like crazy and it's such a tragedy what happened and that's the reason you know we got into this conversation is because you know we have an audience conversation is because you know we have an audience we have a lot of reach and everyone deals with shit so we just want to

make sure that you know if you're dealing with shit you can get help and there is help out there so you're not alone in all this so essentially that's what we want to say yeah and of course um much respect to you daniel i know it always feels weird talking to someone who's gone but uh i miss the hell out of him he he had such a big impact on both of matt and i's lives and i it's just we want to make sure he's remembered appropriately and for uh what he loved doing which was music i want people to appropriately and for what he loved doing, which was music. I want people to remember him for what he did and not just for what happened to him. Yeah.

You know, you don't want his memory to be lost in just sadness. We got a little serious towards the second half, which we don't usually do, but we did want to say that stuff and we want to remember Daniel. So thank you guys for understanding and listening. And, um, we'll see you next week. We have a guest coming on next week.

I guess you guys will be not a planned guest, not a planned guest. It just kind of happened in the recording. It's already pre-recorded. We already have it recorded. It's a really funny episode. Yeah. So next week we'll be on a much more positive note.

Um, some new branding. So that'll roll out next week. So this is actually the last podcast episode where you're going to see this lovely design on screen. So it's like, you know, farewell to that. Nice salute. Yeah, did a little salute. But see you guys.

Sayonara. That's not how you say it. Konnichiwa. Sayonara. Sayonara. Sayonara. So, never mind. I'm the fuck.

Bye.
