🎵 Ooooooooh What was that? I think that's a ghost What the fuck? Ghosts don't- Ghosts don't- Ghosts don't exist! Hey guys, welcome to episode 66 That's 6-6 That's very demonic, isn't it?

That's satanic. It's two sixes without the third six. Well, six is an unlucky number. You know what, Ryan? If we keep doing this podcast, ten times the amount of time we've been doing it right now, so in 15 or so years, we'll be at episode 666.

Well, I mean, what is Joe Rogan's podcast on? It's like a number of thousand something. Yeah, he's a number of thousand something. That's fucking crazy. But he does like multiple a week. Yeah. Can't keep up with that.

That's too much work. I recommend the Joe Rogan podcast. It's a good podcast. It's pretty good. I've seen some of it. You also like the, I haven't watched, I haven't, sorry,

listened to it yet. It's the Brothers Grimsby. What are they called? Where did you even get that name? My brother, my brother and me. My brother, my brother and me. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's episode 66.

It's a special spooky edition. It's a Halloween episode of our podcast. Which means you can be expecting some frights. You can expect a jump scare. Some mites. Yeah, some mites. Ryan does have mites. So I'm trying to stay on the opposite side of the couch from him. You can see them crawling under my skin.

I don't want to get that close. If I hold my hand up to the light. I don't want to get that close to see that. I don't want to catch those. But here we are, guys. As in the regular super mega Halloween tradition, we have a very special movie review for you. From a movie Ryan and I went and saw. Last night.

In theaters last night. Yeah. I had a wonderful time. You want to tell everyone what movie that was, Ryan? We went to go see Boo, a Madea Halloween 2. Almost. Boo 2. Boo 2.

A Madea Halloween. A Madea. In the shower this morning, I was thinking about how awful that title is. I'm like, that's the best. Boo 2. Boo 2. On Madea Halloween. On Madea. In the shower this morning, I was thinking about how awful that title is. I'm like, that's the best. Boo 2. Boo 2. Boo 2. On Madea Halloween.

So wait a second. The movie is technically just called Boo 2? Because if it's a Madea movie, then the Madea thing is just like. It's like a subtitle. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So the title of these movies are just boo and boo too i guess so i guess that most people just call it media halloween and media halloween the unnecessary sequel yeah but to rip the band-aid off it was a fucking miserable experience that was and um i honestly uh yeah i know if idiots like us keep going to see movies

like this they're gonna keep being made i was thinking that last night while we were in the middle of the movie I was thinking like you know Ryan we said the same thing about the Emoji movie but this is what we do we support these movies and then they get sequels and we're like how did that get a sequel we should see bad movies that have already been released onto like

like on demand or home video instead of supporting them in theaters cause this one is like this is worse than the first one I'd say on-demand or home video instead of supporting them in theaters. Because this one is... This is worse than the first one, I'd say. Yeah, definitely. It's hard. They're both just shit. They're both bad. They're both just awful films. This one made less sense, though, plot-wise than the first one.

Well, in this one, I noticed a bunch of things during the movie that just... I don't know. It rubbed me the wrong way. For instance, I'll give you just two quick examples. One quick example is that, you know, in the Madea movies, how they have the effect that, you know, Tyler Perry's playing Madea, he's also himself,

he is also this old dude, what's his name? I don't know his name. Whatever. For a period of time, he was like the renta eddie murphy um and so they've this movie is 100 lazy and a testament to that would definitely be the fact that they wrote around several scenes like they wrote scenes specifically to make it easier in the editing room and the filming process for this to be made. And I know it's like, yeah, that's what you're supposed to do with a movie. But this is like, I'm talking about not the intentional blocking of a scene

to keep these two characters separate so it would be easier to film because the compositing of both the characters on the same screen is done very sparingly, I would say and only in wide shots you know they're not trying to pull a fun little effect like uh the final cut pro king or whatever um so there's that and then during the oh sorry let me just finish like they they they tell the old guy like in the script he he stays in the car he always stays in the car so they don't have to do the work of like including him in in the scenes with like medea and the other characters and then like she'll stay somewhere and he'll go so they don't have to show them at the same time and and uh and also just to move just what shows

the quality is in the after the movie ends there's a string of hilarious, funny, funny bloopers. And one of these bloopers is from a scene that was not in the movie. Yeah. Which leads us to believe that at the end of the movie, before the credits, this is before any type of... Yeah, they put this stuff before the credits. The moment the movie ends, it starts the bloopers. So it's still technically a part of the movie so they technically are showing a blooper from a deleted scene i guess that's what it was yeah part of me is wondering if they're like that blooper was so

funny we have to put it in but it wasn't and then the other thought is maybe the person who edited this movie forgot what was in the movie and was just like and we was just told to get like a bunch of funny clips for bloopers to pad the run time a bit more because this is two minutes shorter than the first one but it felt longer than the first one yeah on the way to the movie you were like good news Matt it's only two minutes shorter than the first one

and the first one was long as fuck I just remember being like oh my god just end but we know why and I was sitting there and you and I were hoping that they wouldn't go the same route because Tylerler perry likes to uh chew on the setting not in the good way god yeah he likes to stay in certain areas and again this wouldn't be a problem if if it if story was being told here or if the movie was at least somewhat watchable but all these decisions are made specifically to make a cheaper movie and to make it fast um like they'll choose the setting so they don't have to go to that many settings

how many settings are in them in the movie the police station maddie's house outside of the school and the camp yeah what the four i think that's it four settings pretty sure that's all the settings yeah so i mean you you'll spend and and the meat of the movie, the boo part, doesn't happen until like an hour into the film. So you're sitting there watching a bunch of, I guess, improv from Tyler Perry. Yeah, the problem was like those scenes, like every scene was padded with 10 to 15 minutes of just character banter and dialogue that didn't add anything to the plot and was really boring. And one time during one of those things I'm like, the scene should have started here. And this was like

five minutes into the scene already. For example, Medea is walking your dumb, stupid, annoying sounding friend to a port-a-potty across this bridge. They show them bicker all the way across the bridge and it's like I gots to pee! It's like, oh now you're gonna pee, across the bridge and it's like I gots to pee. It's like, oh now you're gonna pee, child.

It's like, oh I gots to pee, Madea, Madea, gots to pee in the porta potty. It's like, mmm. Whatever Madea says. I should have wrote the dialogue for this movie. I thought I was sitting to tell the story. But, um, so they show

that whole bickering across the bridge, and they continue the bicker. And it's the same bickering when they're in front of the porta potty, the same thing. So they're in front of the porta potty now, and it's just like, I gotta go pee, I gotta go pee. It's like, I don't gotta go pee, girl. And then I feel like I'm watching the movie again. And I'm like, the movie should have just started when she's opening up the porta potty going, I told you I gots to go. Something like that.

Like that would have been quick. It would have cut out. A good start to the scene. A start, you know, the beginning of the whole unnecessary portion of that scene. That could have been done with so many of the scenes in this. And again, you feel this is done because they didn't have the content ready. He wrote the script, which is heavily dialogue padded and probably padded with a lot of improv they did on set specifically to just run the movie um at a certain runtime so it can get in theaters i guess yeah and um

god those scenes just there was too much dialogue i'm sitting there for instance like it just felt like the first movie because in the first movie medea and her friends are sitting in tyler perry's living room um and they're having like banter that was like the first half of this movie they're in the same living room having the same type of banter and i was just getting these terrible ptsd flashbacks i'm like oh my god because you have to remember he writes plays so this is the way he writes he writes two characters talking for a long time in a scene but the difference between i i haven't seen past tyler perry movies i'm going to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that in past tyler perry movies when two characters are talking plot is being divulged with some jokes every now and then yeah in this one it's jokes are being divulged at

just this heavy rate and then every now and then plot will just kind of be sprinkled in yeah just kind of like fall falls out of Tyler Perry's. It's like he's carrying a bunch of groceries and the groceries are just random pieces of dialogue. But every every every, you know, in the bag of these groceries, he's got like an orange and that represents a piece of plot. He's got like three of those and he drops his groceries and those just spill out every now and then. groceries and those just spill out every now and then. And one thing, not one more thing, but another thing for me is I

hope Yousef isn't banking on an Oscar nomination for his role in this movie. I got some bad news for FouseyTube fans out there. If he's hoping that he's going to get an Oscar for his performance because he's going to get two Oscars for his performance for two

fantastic movies. The thing is, I was watching this movie and usually when I watch movies, I think of I think I'm like, like, what if like what if in some strange universe I was put in this movie? I'm like, I could not do this job. I can't act like I can't act. But like watching this movie, I'm like, please put me in this movie. I would I would have fun acting in this because out of all the characters show that all you

have to do is she she's almost 18? Dude, dog, whoa, what? Ryan's not making that up. That was FouseyTube and his friends in this movie. This movie, FouseyTube's performance was so stellar and so stunning. Come on, dog. You're 17. We've been through this.

She's like, I just turned 18. He's like, come on, you're you're 17 we've been through this she's like i just turned 18 he's like come on check the id check the id it's it's it's like a youtube sketch it really is it feels like the movie was written by youtubers it feels like like i'm surprised like logan paul didn't show up in this he would have been perfect with the frat guys at that or superwoman whatever i'm surprised these types of youtubers didn't show up more because foosie tubes in it I'd expect more YouTube representation. Well, what I'm confused about is... We got Bella Thorne in the last movie. Yeah, absolutely.

But what I'm confused about is how did Tyler Perry come to the conclusion that he should use FouseyTube out of everyone on YouTube? He should use him to be a main character in his movie. Where did that even come from? Where did that idea come from? Maybe Tyler Perry is confusing Martin Luther King with Fousey Tube.

Because they're so much similar as human beings. So that's the only thing that I can think of for you, Matt. Oh my God. I just don't like. Maybe. I'm going to bank on the fact that Fousey Tube just has a really, really good agent. Yeah. That he probably pays a shit ton for.

And he's like, okay. I guess you're rolling this movie. And I think that nose ring that he's wearing in the movie is actually his, which also leads me to believe that there's no costume department for this movie, that they just told people, dress up in Halloween gear, and then show up to the filming of this movie. It's like they told Yusef, it's like, hey, wear what you want. Or maybe they went to Party City and got him a little costume. Just nothing was done of high quality.

You can even see in the bloopers, he's just directing it. And you can just imagine him just watching these scenes, just putting a stagnant camera right there with a tripod or having some poor camera guy stand there for hours as he's filming a Tyler Perry movie. And the bloopers, you can see he's coming up with lines on the spot for them to say. He's like, okay, how much of this is scripted? He wanted to make sure you knew he came up with that, I'll moose your hairline.

Yeah, I'll braid your hair and moose it, which I didn't even get that. Can we talk about that actor? Because it was weird. The guy? The discount Vin Diesel as you said. Yeah, I said he was like the rough draft of Vin Diesel. Yeah. There's this character

and he plays this girl's dad and he's this weird looking white dude who's bald and he looks like, all I can say is he looks... He's a comedian. I know he's a comedian, I think. I think he's definitely like a small little stand-up guy, maybe. I leaned over to Ryan and I said, is this guy even human?

The way he acts, it was just so weird. And he would smile too much. And his eye movements and his gestures. He'd be like, ah, hey, sweetie. I'll describe the way I thought of it. It's almost as if he was being yelled direction as he was acting. So it's like, blank. And then he had to blink.

It's like he's playing this game with the director. Oh, it was so weird. And he was creepy, too. Like, something about him was really off-putting. He didn't come off as a dad. He came off as like a, oh, hey, you and the girls don't want to hang out with me? Yeah, it was creepy. He's like, okay, getting an odd vibe off of you.

want to hang out with me. Yeah, it was creepy. He's like, okay, getting an odd vibe off of you. He looked very, you know the whole Uncanny Valley thing where when scientists and engineers make a robot that's designed to look like a human, it looks a little, like there's something that you could tell it's not a human. It's a little

off-putting. That's how he looks. Yeah. And if he listens to this podcast, I sincerely apologize. And I'd love to hang out and get lunch. There's so much shit about this movie. I was about to bring that up. That's exactly what I was about to say. When a character would say, this fucking sucks or something, it would go, this hecking sucks or something.

They'd say, like, freaking. I remember they censored damn with darn sometimes. They censored fuck with darn sometimes because there were a lot of- They censored fuck with hell. Yeah. There were a lot of swear words in this movie, but every now and then a swear word would be dubbed with a lesser swear word. It's super obvious too. Like damn would be changed to darn.

And Ryan and I both noticed every time. We're like, why did they do that? My theory is that originally because it was improv, they realized in the first cut, like, oh, shit, there's too many swears in this movie, which means that it's probably going to get rated R because we have too many swear words. Like over. I'm assuming movies probably have a limit, like a number limit of how many swear words. I know PG-13 has a limit of fucks. I didn't know they had a limit of overall swears. Or maybe even for advertiser purposes.

So they were like, all right all right well let's go back through and let's take like maybe it was all the rape jokes who knows there were a lot of there was a lot of rape jokes in this movie a lot of sexual like harassment stuff too much the age of 18 is very is is like it's always highlighted it's like are you 18 and

she'll go no I'm 17 you go oh well I was I was about you're like a woman and then and then it cuts to the next scene and he's like, damn, girl, sure you don't want me. And it's like this older Tyler Perry character. And I get it. Like, his character's a gross person. But, like, for the comedic effect, you're having this old man who he thinks, he just thinks he's going after a 17-year-old.

And you're like, so this character that Tyler Perry's up is is a potential pedophile willingly like yeah like like this like if you're if you're really wanting to get into it and i know you're not supposed to because of the movie but for the people that are real big fans of these characters this character is a legitimate pedophile like he's one you would be on the sex offenders registry so we're like the college students if you notice yes if you noticed in the scene where she shows them the id to say she's 18 is like that could be fake but i don't care yeah it's like as long as it's it's like all every every character that that's a male almost besides tyler perry himself i'm not excluding the the white dad because god knows creepy shit too it's just like is is a fucking rapist everyone in this movie was like a sexual predator like let's get this out of the way there was there was no actual

pedophilia in the movie no just there was so much hinting it's just the illusion of pedophilia and the fact that these characters act this way thinking that the characters are underage and it's supposed to be this goofy comedy yeah it's so's such a weird, because I picture Tyler Perry as like some Christian dude that makes wholesome films that for some reason make people cry near the end. Yes, he's made movies that I've actually enjoyed in the past. He's made movies with a character that goes, mm, child, good lord, mm,

and it makes people cry. I don't understand it. I've never enjoyed a single Tyler Perry movie. Matt is the counterpoint to this. How many have you seen? I've seen the one where Madea pours hot gravy on the cheating guy. Grits. She throws hot grits in his face.

Whatever. That's what it is. She does that. So I saw that one. I think I saw Madea goes to jail or some shit back in like youth group and then these two so I've seen four in total this Madea movie like this was racy not not only did was it like packed with the theme of like sexual predatory stuff but they like there was just there was a lot of a lot of sexual jokes a lot of f-words there were some F-words. There were some N-words even. I was surprised.

Like, Tyler Perry, wow. But overall, I mean, 9 out of 10? 8 out of 10? Oh, yeah, 100%. But, like, serious. Like, don't go see this movie. We saw it because for the funny goofs. If you expect to go see it.

We saw it, so you don't have to. If you saw it and you're like, this is going to be fun. Just like them, it's going to be a funny time and you're like this is going to be fun just like them it's going to be a funny time with friends and we're going to make fun of this movie it's just a miserable

experience overall most of the parts that you're going to be making fun of are just sprinkled throughout the movie because the rest is just miserable banter

and at the end of the movie I told I was telling Matt is it even fair to critique this movie because it's not made for any artistic integrity it's not made because the writer thought it was funny or people wanted to actually make this because of the idea or the characters.

This is actually someone's sense of humor. They made it because of money and because they have a fan base. And they shat this one out in, what, a year? Less than a year? Yeah, less than a year. Because the first one came out a year ago. And you can tell tell there's one scene i told you where it sounds like they recorded the audio in a public restroom yeah it's so echoey like it it's like they use like a tin can phone to record it sounds like they didn't have a boom mic turned on so they had to use the like b camera

audio from like a camcorder in a public restroom that's what it sounded like um but if I had to rate it on a number scale I'd probably give it a 2 out of 10 I'd give it a 2 yeah I think it's the fact that it was so lazy and it was so I guess

transparent with the way it was doing its bullshit like writing the characters separate from each other to make it easier for them on set I'm gonna say just the lowest I can go just stay away from this

like there are bad movies that are actually good this is far from that this is far from enjoyable I mean it was the same when we saw the first one. We were like, that was not even fun as a joke. That was miserable. First one's a two out of ten. Second one's a one out of ten. Okay, yeah. For me.

I cannot recommend this movie to anybody. I'm sitting there and I'm thinking, I cannot think how anyone could be enjoying this movie but I'm proven wrong by the three women to the left of us that were laughing hysterically throughout man it was almost like i had a soundboard of a of a studio laugh track and every time someone opened their mouth i hit a key to play that laugh track

but i the best way i could describe this movie to sum it up is you know when you are exercising let's say you're you're running the mile for school or you're on like a bicycling machine and you see that there is, let's say your goal is five minutes and you're at two minutes and you're already exhausted. And you're just looking at that timer and it's slowly ticking up to five minutes and you're like, ah, that's how that movie feels. That feeling put into a movie. That's the best way i can describe it yeah it was just like oh my god and ryan kept leaning over he's like okay a little over an hour left okay it should be about 30 minutes left but the worst part was uh um we forgot to factor in the preview time yeah so we actually had 15 10 to 15 more minutes than we thought yeah so like you told

me you're like only an hour left and i was like, yes, I'm in like 15, 20 minutes. You were like, I was wrong. At this point, there's only an hour left. And I was like, no! It was horrible. But that's our review of Tyler Perry's Boo 2 A Madea Halloween 2. Yeah, you could say it was so bad we planned

to review it right after the movie, but my spirits were so down after watching it that I could not come in to record this review. I just didn't, I was... You looked, when we walked out of that movie, I turned around and looked at you, and you just you were like rolling your eyes and you were just like, your hat was crooked

Like during the movie? No, no, when we were walking out of the movie, I looked at you, and you looked like you just watched you looked as if you just watched some kind of like very disturbing film that just ruined your day you were like because maybe some of these lines would have been funny i don't know i'm not paying it to like the writing was bad in general but maybe some of these lines would have been enjoyably entertaining to some aspect but they have characters that are

like oh come on that one character come on And then there's another character that's like, I gotta pay, my dear. Like, all their characters have these weird fucking voices. That one character, I think her name is Hattie. They're all like black southern stereotypes. Yeah. Essentially. Hattie, is that, was that her name? Hattie, yeah. She's the most obnoxious character in cinema history.

I thought, like, she was way more toned down in the first movie. Was it the same actress as the first movie? Yeah. Okay. They just did her makeup differently to make her look more white. She was. First, I thought they were just changing her character for this movie to play a white person.

Because of the makeup they used. Made her look very pale. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I guess that's because they were doing an old person. I don't know. She was. Every time she opened her mouth, I was like, oh that's because they were doing an old person. I don't know. She was, every time she opened her mouth, I was like, oh my God, stop it. Just please stop. It's funny because the old person is dancing.

It's funny because the old person falls down. It's funny because the old person has to pee. It's funny because the old person is jumping up and down and you can see the fake boobies and stomach flopping up and down. It's like none of this is like and i'm not saying that it has to be comedy genius but if you're gonna make a comedy and you're gonna make a halloween comedy at least make it fun at least make it entertaining the horror parts were so lazily shot like you know how uh killer uh scenes like when the killer is introduced or whatever in movies, how they have these shots, these creepy kind of like POV shots from the killer sometimes.

They at least have a mixture of shots. Yeah. In this, it's one stagnant shot. Like, think of the kid getting ice. From one shot, the same place. He grabs the ice. The camera shot jarringly changes position. And he's kind of a little more to the left of

the truck than he was before and then you see the other character it was it was a mix the reason it was so jarring is because it seems like the cameraman only moved five steps to the right and then it cut yeah exactly what i mean that's it so and then the chainsaws go and that the actor who was playing the kid getting ice he he was smiling while he was being attacked. I noticed that. So it's like... I feel like that movie was a lot of like, they'll do the very first take,

and then Tyler Perry's like, all right, sure. They're like, do you want to get another one for safety? He's like, uh, I mean, do we need it?

He got a second take of her rushing out of the porta potty, though. That's true. That's true. Remember the bloopers? He goes, let's get another one. Tyler Perry. I mean, I got it.

Here, I'll say these two things. I think I'll give it credit. I did laugh, I think, twice. I don't remember when I laughed. Was it the grandpa character? It was always the grandpa character. And I did laugh two times, but I don't remember why either time. So that also says something. I thought one of the blooper lines was like probably one of the actually more clever and funny lines.

I can't remember what it was, but I'm like, why wasn't that in the movie? Yeah. Why did you keep in all this other stuff? Yeah. And Tyler Perry, I mean, got to give him credit for how successful he is. His net worth is $600 million. Did you beat the woman that wasn't listening to you? Yeah.

I told you. I'm like, ha ha. The character is like awful. Oh, man. is. His net worth is $600 million. Did you beat the woman that wasn't listening to you? Yeah. The character is awful. Oh man, but yeah, Tyler Perry, as long as you're hiring YouTubers for movies, I know we just completely tore apart your newest movie, but if you want to... No, the only way he can redeem himself with Boo 3

is if he casts us as the antagonists of the film. Oh, my God. Tyler Perry. You know you want to do that. Please put us in the movie. Even if we're like, I'll take a background character. I just want to be in a Tyler Perry, Madea movie.

Please, Tyler Perry. Please. If anyone knows Tyler Perry and can get us in contact, I would love to be in the next Madea movie. I don't care what Madea movie it is. Preferably Boo 3. Boo 3 would be great. Then I'd have to give a good review on it, Tyler. That's how you can redeem yourself. Would you say

Tyler Perry as a filmmaker, as a creator? As a product management specialist. Do you think Tyler Perry could also go as Tyler the creator? Because he creates so many good movies he should

yeah okay high five but moving on it is officially it's spooky mega 2017 it is first episode of Luigi's Mansion went out yesterday and we got a lot of more Halloween stuff coming on my channel a lot of more of it

a lot of more of it and it is the week of Halloween. And Halloween is actually... I've always liked it, but in the last two years, it's honestly quickly become one of my favorite holidays just because of... I don't know. I just love... I love the feel of Halloween. I like the vibe. It's when

the weather starts getting colder, unless you live in Los Angeles. Then it was... What was it? It was 101 degrees yesterday. And it's like, what the fuck? It's October... Yesterday. And it's like, the fuck? It's October. Yesterday was October 23rd. It should not be 101 degrees when it's almost November. Yeah, it's just getting ridiculous.

Our AC is always broken. Yeah, I woke up sweating this morning because I guess my AC is not working. Yeah. Last night I was like, oh, it still feels cool. But every time the temperature gets like above 90 degrees in LA, our AC is just like, I'm just not going to work. Something tells me that the owner, like the people, the company owns our building. When it gets up to a certain temperature, they'll turn off like a certain amount or they'll just turn off the ACs so they can save money or something. I think what it is, I think everyone turns their AC up and then that basically

uses up all of the cooling shit and all the power. In California, you just make sure your apartment complex fucking is prepared for hot summers. If it's any testament, the company that makes the AC units in our apartment.

At least the ones that are in our apartment. Other apartments have newer ones from a company that I don't think. Same company, just newer ones. But that company doesn't exist anymore. Oh, okay, sweet. It's like that company is fully just gone. You go to try to look at one of their manuals

on the website. Their website is down. Because the company is no longer in operation. You think they should work with a company that has a good track record, maybe? Yeah, and didn't go bankrupt because they made shitty ACs. Yeah. But, I mean, when the AC's working, it's

great. But the other 90% of the time, it's either pouring gallons of water onto my floor or blowing out air that's not cold at all. I just have a pot under my AC. a dedicated pot you should you should submit a service request for that bad boy just we submit so many nothing happens yeah i think it's good to have them like our maintenance guy comes in he's like well what the one time he's like remember not to put candles yeah it's like the ac units on the

fucking ceiling how am i put how do you expect am I holding a candle up to our AC unit going haha alright our man's gonna have to come here because I know that candles fuck with AC units apparently also I hadn't it was for my specific AC in my room and I'm like here it's not blowing out cold air and it's leaking and then he leaves a note and all it says is don't

don't light candles near the AC unit that's what's causing this and I'm like dude I have I have not lit a candle in months in my room. Is this just like he's going down all the things on his list? Like he's going out like serial maintenance disaster man. Like his arch nemesis is going around fixing things. That's crossed off the list. But next on his list is candles.

You know what I think it is? I think he purposely doesn't want to like fix any of our stuff because i called him gay that one time remember when i called him gay by accident you're gay yeah i remember that's from episode 32 of our podcast the maintenance man coming shit you remember that episode i remember that episode it was when uh uh early one morning i thought it was it was ryan walking into our apartment and I thought it was doing a goofy voice and I went, you're gay, you're gay. And it was actually our maintenance man, uh, here to fix my AC unit. So I just quickly jumped in the shower and, um, I think he's always remembered that and

it's always stuck with him. Uh, good old maintenance, man. Love him. But it is the week of Halloween. And one thing that I so desperately wish i could still do as a 21 year old man is uh i wish i could still trick-or-treat yeah i really do i love trick-or-treating and it makes me sad that i i won't ever be able to experience that like joy of going around in a costume and trick-or-treating again it's so much fun i don't want to go

trick-or-treating again but i look back at the times i'm like wow i am like 20 something now like when i when like i think back to my mindset when i used to trick-or-treat i'm like that's my life this is my life this is how it is this is just how life works and i never really at the time thought like hey at some point you won't be able to go out and get free candy from strangers i know i remember the last year i ever did it uh several houses wouldn't give me candy because they're like same with me it's like come on i'm dressed up in a costume just give me some candy i think the last time i went was maybe freshman year of high school same it was freshman or sophomore year for me and i went with one of my friends and we dressed up like i went to party city and got a goofy

little mask and everything. But they're like, but most of the house were like, how old are you? Does it fucking matter? I'm trick or treating. Like what? You're like, you're not going to run out of candy, you stupid old woman. The thing is, it's like. Like, isn't it trick or treat?

So it's like you either give me a treat or I fuck up your house. Yeah, I will burn your house down. I will, I will, I will shit on top of your chimney. I will shit down your house. Yeah, I will burn your house down. I will shit on top of your chimney. I will shit down your chimney. And it just like falls straight into the fireplace. Yeah. Imagine that. Someone has like a fire going on and you're just shitting into the fire.

And so they're like, what is that smell? I can see it's like if it's a tall chimney, it would fall and it would hit with such velocity that's what Santa does to the bad households he gets Rudolph the shit down the chimney like just a reindeer shitting down the chimney

I cannot wait for Christmas as much as I love Halloween and this season I absolutely love the Christmas season even though I don't celebrate it for religious purposes myself I still have joy in the holiday season. It's a very happy time for everyone, really.

It's like it doesn't matter who you are. The holidays, it's just like a time to reflect on the end of the year and share joy with others and see your loved ones. It's a nice time. It's just very nice. You know, you got these cool decorations up and these lights that are pretty. And I love Christmas music. Like, I absolutely love yeah we do cause we both

have record players now we need to get you know I saw a nice Christmas final the other day and I was like I'm gonna buy it and then I was like you know what no I'll wait until I'll wait until it's Christmas time so I'm not wasting my money now I was thinking of getting the cause they have the whole how the Grinch stole Christmas

like TV thing. Oh, really? Like the audio recording is on vinyl. That's awesome. I wouldn't mind listening to that. I am. The one essential album I have to get is the Vince Guaraldi Trio.

The Charlie Brown Christmas album. I've listened to that like every year growing up. The Christmas music from Charlie Brown. It's so good. We're going to have to get like Christmas year growing up. The Christmas music from Charlie Brown. It's so good. We're going to have to get like Christmas candles. Christmas candles. Got to get a wreath.

We can't put it on our front door, but we could put it on the backside of our front door so we can see it. That'd be nice. Got to get a Christmas tree this year. I'm not, I don't really want to get a real Christmas tree. That was a lot of shit to deal with last year. Yeah, we'll just get some sort of thing. Those needles, those dropped like crazy. And then like, how long did we have that Christmas tree in our living room?

A month? Until like February or something? Maybe more, I guess, yeah. And they were like, all right, we should throw this away. And then we threw it out. I got sap all over my hands. And I was like, God dang it. Try to wash the sap off?

It's hard to wash it off. Washing sap all over my hands. And I was like, God dang it. Try to wash the sap off. It's hard to wash it off. Washing sap off is super hard. Come on, guys. Guys, give me your best remedy for washing sap off of your hands and your skin and clothes. It does not want to come out of clothes. I got it on my shirt and I was like, man. I'm excited. Why are we talking about Christmas on the Halloween podcast?

I don't know, but I'm excited for Mario Odyssey. Yeah, that comes out as of the time this podcast comes out. It comes out tomorrow, doesn't it? Yeah. The 27th. Damn. That's going to be a good game. Are you excited?

I hope so, yeah. Did you preorder it? I did not. Oh. You think I'll have a hard time finding it? Probably not as... I don't know if more people are gonna buy this or

Breath of the Wild what do you think Breath of the Wild is pretty hard to come by it was a new Zelda game that was but this is a new Mario game like especially a new big

like kind of sunshiny 64 this is like a new Mario game Galaxy type Mario this one's brand new I guess not Galaxy Galaxy was level based

and not world like open worldy woo it's just so it's so weird seeing Mario mixed with real life humans I guess not Galaxy. Galaxy was level-based and not open-worldy. It's so weird seeing Mario mixed with real-life humans. Well, it's going to be fun. We're going to get to dress up Mario and jump around and kill things and hopefully throw fireballs. Throw little balls of fire. Ryan, what's your best scary story you can tell on this podcast?

It is episode 66 Best scary story? Yeah You ever been wrapped up in a cult? You ever been kidnapped by a psychopath? No I don't have many scary instances You have ghost stories

I'm trying to think of something recent like have ghost stories. I do. I'm trying to think of something recent, like a recent scary story. You ever seen a ghost? No. Is it not real? You don't know that. Have you seen a ghost? Nope. I don't think so.

Didn't you think you saw an apparition or something? I thought I saw something once. Something with Daniel? Yeah, it scared the shit out of me. Like, you and Daniel were in the... You were there, too. I was there, me. Like you and Daniel were in the, where? You were there too. I was there too, but I was faced away from the wall.

And you said you guys saw this thing with red eyes. It was like a nine foot black shadow looking person in the dark with little red dot eyes. And my heart was racing that night. That was scary. It was like 3 a.m. in that old studio warehouse. I did not like that. Some people really get upset when you say you don't believe in ghosts. I don't believe in ghosts, but I also, I guess I keep my mind open with it.

Like, I don't believe in them necessarily, but I don't rule them out 100%. I guess just because it's stuff that, it's like it's unknown, so I don't know. When scientists begin to take ghosts seriously, I'll take them seriously. Yeah, I guess that's fair. You'd think, like, if all these shows could get all this footage of ghosts and if you could find all this evidence of ghosts so easily, you'd think scientists would be like, oh, easy, let's set up some shit. Let's see what's going on.

Oh, it's this type of energy? Let's blah, blah, blah, blah. But they're not even trying to figure out anything i wonder if you know scientists have done studies and stuff but i don't think people even if like a scientist did do a study and then he like found something i don't think anyone would take it seriously though it would just kind of end up in that conspiracy theory corner there's there's like a point in time where you can like you can understand why people would believe in ghosts because there wasn't the internet or like video cameras or cameras. And it's like these things that, you know, happen and you don't have explanations for.

But now you have so much technology and all these things and you have all these studies of psychology that kind of go into how you might see things. And, you know, a lot of ghost sightings are actually also people who had sleep paralysis. Oh, I have had that. And I did see something. But I know it was my sleep paralysis. But it felt so real. It felt like fully real. So I could totally see how back in the olden times when people didn't have science to explain a lot of shit.

And they didn't know what sleep paralysis was. You would 100% believe that that was like some otherworldly being oh yeah because like you you wake up and you it feels 100 real and you see like a shadow person like sitting on your chest or like standing over you that shit's terrifying and like it's it's the same deal with uh ufos and aliens like people who um and of course there's a higher probability of aliens existing in fact i fully believe in aliens and UFOs and shit. But it's like people who have night terrors or those types of dreams in general. What are those? I just said the dreams over there.

Sleep paralysis? Sleep paralysis. A lot of those are people who say, oh, I was abducted by an alien. No, you just had a goofy dream and you couldn't move in your bed. You should be like a doctor and someone comes in for sleep paralysis or night terrors. But you just had a goofy dream. Get out of here. Go.

I just see all these interviews of people that are so adamant that they've seen a ghost or they got abducted by an alien in a flying saucer. And it's like, I can't tell if these people have told this story so many times that they start to believe it themselves or they're just they're just kind of cuckoo bananas i don't know i i'm much more willing to believe in uh like aliens and alien abduction stuff like i don't i don't throw that stuff out i i can i can believe that to a degree i guess to a degree but there's no like there has to be evidence like I'm not just gonna believe something because some farmer on a national geographic documentary

was like yeah there was this bright light and I woke up in bed and there was this little gray man and he took me to this ship and they probed me they they wanted to know what the president was doing and i told them i didn't know what the president was doing and they said okay and i remember there was this alien with red hair and they made me fuck her and it's like just all this weird shit i've heard that exact one actually well i mix mashed a bunch of different the alien with like red pubes and stuff yeah i've I've heard that and then she fucked the farmer dude. And like how he has alien children

out there. Yeah. And they like abducted him later and showed them to him. Yeah. See that stuff, that's a little kooky. I like those stories because they're fun stories. They're fascinating. Yeah, they're fun. But anything beyond that when you start to take it with a credence of holy shit, like if you take it seriously, then you'd have to be like, holy shit.

They're going to come down and they're going to use their big tractor beam to levitate me up and make me have sex with some alien. When I was in middle school, I would stay up late after everyone went to bed and I'd watch all these like alien videos. I was scared too, but we were young. I'd scare myself shitless. We were young. That's true. Yeah. I'm, but we were young. I'd scare myself shitless. We were young. That's true, yeah. I'm not scared of aliens anymore. Actually, that's not true.

When I'm camping and I'm out in the woods by myself, I can't help but feel some of that fear I felt when I was younger that like, oh shit, a light's going to come out of nowhere and then I'm going to get abducted. I fear some strange lunatic more than an alien or a ghost. If I'm out in the woods, I'm going to be like, some stranger's going to come out here and have some sick kicks and just gut all of me and my friends

and it's going to be this national news story. That'd be funny. No, it's not even a national news story. Why would that even make... Someone gutting people in the woods is not a national news story. No, that's just funny. What about, um...

What about squatches? You scared of squatches? No. You believe in squatches? I want to, but the probability of a squatch actually existing is just about as... I don't know. All right.

It's like a leprechaun. I believe in these things in this order, going from I believe in them the most to the least. Aliens, ghosts ghosts Sasquatch aliens ghosts Sasquatch Sasquatch is at the bottom of the list for me however every time I go camping I'm still scared of Sasquatches even though

I know it's like irrational it's like they'll come to your campsite that shit's scary and the off chance that they are real it's like have you seen Harry your campsite. Yeah, dude. Like that shit's scary. Like what? And the off chance that they are real, it's like it's going to be seen. Harry and the Hendersons. They're nice. Oh, yeah.

I guess you're right. Have you seen Little Little Bigfoot? Little Bigfoot? No. Little Bigfoot. Some kid movie. Oh, with a little Bigfoot. A little Bigfoot.

I am there. Like there are certain UFO stories that that do baffle me. There are certain UFO stories that do baffle me. Like there's a famous one called – what was the guy's name? Travis something where it was a bunch of guys like – they were like doing a logging job. And then there was like a huge red light in the woods and saw a thing. And they said their friend got abducted. And then he was missing for like four days and they all took those lie detector tests

with the police station and showed that they were all telling the truth. And say what you want about those lie detector tests. Or they're all crazy and they actually believe what they're saying. Well, I don't know. How do you get five people to all believe like the exact same thing

and the person's missing for five days? What do you mean? You get cults that are hundreds of people to kill yeah but i mean like this is a like the guy went missing and this is like all in the same night and they all gave the same like testimony what they saw and then he reappeared later and um all that shit was a movie about it was he like i was abducted yeah i was abducted yeah i was abducted help me help yeah but there's a movie about it. Was he like, I was abducted. Yeah. I was abducted. Yeah. I was abducted. Help me.

Yeah, but there's a lot of stories that like famous UFO stories that I wouldn't throw away. I guess I could believe them. I don't know. I like, I think it's, I also, I like believing in that stuff. I think it's kind of fun. I think that's where you derive believing out of it from. It's not, I feel like you don't legitimately believe. No, I do.

I really do. Some of them I really do. It's also fun, but some of them I really do. But why? I don't know. Just from what I've read, it seems like there's good evidence for it. Yeah, but those articles are strictly written to show a bias. No, I'm not talking about articles.

I'm talking about just like Wikipedia and stuff like that. As you take a sip from, no, I'm not talking about actual articles. I'm talking about Wikipedia, Ryan. Get your fucking alien knowledge on track, okay? Jesus. Hey, all I'm saying is... Takes a sip from a LaCroix can. I'm not willing to just throw everything out immediately, I guess.

I'm not willing to throw out just all alien stuff. 100%. Do you believe in aliens though? I believe that there is a possibility that they exist. But I also believe there is a possibility that we are a mere accident in the universe. I am 100% in the belief that there is other. You can't say 100%. That there's other life out there.

I'm talking about the guys in UFOs. I say that because the universe is so big and there are so many planets and galaxies i think that it is without a doubt there's some form of life out there whether it's even just like microbes i say it's like i don't think we're the only place in the universe where it got lucky enough to have life form no no of course not because there's been water on other planets we found out that's what i'm saying like i think of course there's life out there but like when we're talking about little organisms, but in terms of a civilization, it's hard to say. I'd say there probably is.

I'd say the odds are... The odds are great that there is, but at the same time, you also have to think there is that small chance, that small probability that we are also alone in the universe? Yeah. I personally think that possibility is so microscopic, though. I feel comfortable saying 100% that there is life out there.

I feel like the 100% part is a little disingenuous. Why? Because you can't be 100 like like like for instance like i don't believe in a god but i can't say that a god isn't one like i can't be like god is 100 not real okay then i'll say 99.999 there we go that there's life out there i like that that's better glad i'm glad i could i like that except for when teacher you're're welcome. That's why you are here. Get with it. I think the whole 199% thing is all fine up until a teacher's like, well, technically a student can never do perfect on a paper.

Yeah, it's like. Like, fuck off. Shut up. You're not my math teacher. It's like, yes, a student can do pretty perfect on a paper. I remember like. Stupid. Like, they'd give out 90, they'd always 99.9. Sorry. A student can do pretty perfect on a paper. I remember like... Stupid. Like they'd give out 90.

They'd always 99.9. Sorry. It's like, no, give me 100. Like what is that point? Like why? What is that 0.01 for? What did I do wrong? There's always the probability that you were wrong.

But I got every answer right. No, I think most of those scores were on essays and shit. Yeah, it was always essays. It's like, oh, that's stupid. Oh my God. I remember one time on a Scantron and shit. Yeah, it was always essays. It's like, oh, that's stupid. Oh, my God. I remember one time on a Scantron, I filled all the answers one row off. I've done that before. But otherwise, I would have gotten a great score, and the teacher wouldn't take it back.

Wouldn't let you redo it. Even though Scantrons are the easiest form of grading, you literally put them into the machine. And I've heard teachers describe them because there's this test that everyone took and everyone did bad on it in my class and the teacher described it as gunshots going off because you know the scantron puts that pink mark yeah on the thing so it was like oh my god there was no worse feeling to get like a scan okay when a teacher was handing out tests in high school like back you could see all the pink on everyone else. Yeah, that.

But when it was, like, a bigger test, and then they would just come and put yours on your desk, but they put it up, like, face down. Oh, yeah. I was like, oh, shit, I know what that means. It's face down. You pick it up. It's, like, a 52. And I'm like, fuck. What always got me, like, kind of not feeling the education system is it's still my fault because I did poorly.

But it's like when I felt like I really studied and I really nailed this test and I felt so confident. Then it came back like a C. I know. I told my parents I was super like feeling good about this. That was the worst when you thought you did really well and you get it back and you did horribly. That always happened to me in like social studies and stuff. But there are those rare instances where you have not studied at all, and you're just like, what the fuck? And you guess on most of these answers, but you end up getting like a B.

Yeah, that happened to me once. I still remember it specifically. We got in class, and they're like, all right, it's time for the test on the reading, which I didn't even know there was a reading. And it was a multiple choice test. And I didn't even know the title of the thing that we were supposed to have read. And I was like, fuck, fuck, fuck. So I guessed on the whole thing and I got a 92. 92.

That's the only time that's ever happened in my life. Really? I was like so full of excitement when I got that back. I was like, what the fuck? That's awesome. It was like a short test. It was like no more than 20 questions. But the fact that I somehow got a 92 on bullshitting it, I don't know how that happened. It never happened again.

Every time that happened in the future, I got like a 30. My favorite thing to do because it just felt good was like when you had a project, like you go home, work on a project for a week. Except there would be these think of it as a video game you get these side missions that you get bonuses on so you could get over 100 or like you know those those 10 extra points that you earned you got a 70 but it bumped you up to an 80 so you feel a little better or you got like a 75 which is a d a A D in South Carolina. And then it bumps it up to an 85 which is a B. Yeah. Oh my God. Growing up, I know it varies

state to state, but the grading system was so stupid. It was 93 to 100 is an A. 92 to 85 is a B. 84 to 76. 77 was a D, I remember. Okay, so. 78 was a C. Yeah.

And then 69 and below was an F. And it's like, that's kind of dumb because if you think about it, it's like 69, it's not a good test score. But still, if you know 69% out of 100, that's still a lot. That's almost seven-tenths. That's still a majority. Out of the knowledge. But that's an F. But also, in college, did it change to 90 to 100, 80 to, or 8, would it be 80?

It went by tenths, so it was like 90 and above was an A, above an 80 to 90 was a B. 80 to 89 was a B. 70 to 79 was a C, like that, which I like that way more. Even though that's a nine point change in grade. Yeah. But it's still lowered yeah so oh i also liked it when uh there was a smart student in the class and they did poorly then you found out that everyone did poorly so the teacher had to give everyone a curve like

a curve like i love that i was like yes oh my god curves were great uh the worst thing was when the entire class i remember this happening several times, the entire class was just everyone, everyone failed it. Like 90 something percent of the class, like D's and low C's. But then there's one student that got an A. So the teacher was like, no, I'm not giving a curve because if this student did, they were like like because one or two students did so well um it shows that clearly the subject was taught and um people didn't study enough it's like maybe that person uh just went above and beyond to teach themselves because they were terrified they were going to fail because you didn't do a good job teaching it there are a lot of shitty teachers

in schools yeah but there are also a lot of really dedicated and good teachers. Oh, absolutely. That stay like after hours. Like there were some teachers that went to my school that I knew because I worked with broadcast journalism. So like I wasn't cool with most of the teachers, but the teachers, there were some teachers that I was more cool with, like the media arts teachers and stuff like that. The thing you have to give teachers credit for is that teachers are paid like salaried so I guess they're only paid to for the school day but most

teachers have to stay hours after the school day and get there early. Well get there early before the school day starts. Do all that work after school. Do conferences outside of school and grade all that shit outside of school. That's all work that they're not getting paid for. I'm not gonna I'm not trying to call out any teachers but I saw teachers giving student shit for doing their homework like right before class

and like that was like that was a bad thing like there's a due date just get it in by the by like when it's due you can do it before class there's nothing wrong with that like you might get a worst grade on the homework but whatever but then like i'd see some teachers in the morning like that same teacher would be grading tests they were handing out or something later that day and it's like you wait to the last minute too and i understand that you may have more work than the students but you also have to realize that like a deadline's a deadline don't don't come up with your own biases because it feels like the teachers start putting in their own personal bias it's like they're personally annoyed that you waited until now to do the homework they don't actually care

yeah i think that um i mean i sometimes i did my homework i did mine on the bus sometimes i did mine in class like the class it was due it's like all right i'd rush up in like five minutes and i'd copy someone else's um but like i i remember in college turning in assignments online at like 11 58 p.m that was due at midnight yeah except like fuck i forgot so uh i i remember that was that's like i think everyone does that in college unless you're like a straight a student college was an interesting experience i will say that it was uh and i i'm sad because i didn't get to experience the full like like force force of it, I guess. Same.

I only got one year of it. I only stayed until sophomore year. Yeah. I left after I finished freshman year. RIP. Yeah. I miss it, but I like what I'm doing out here. I like doing Super Mega, so.

Oh, yeah. It all works out. It's good stuff. All of our friends are moving on, man. They're getting jobs. We are moving on, man. They're getting jobs. We're moving on too. I was just thinking last night and it was just this weird feeling. I was like, there's so many, like if I tried to get into, let's say a relationship with

a girl, you know? Yeah. If you're in this situation and you're trying to like get a girlfriend or something and then that girl after like the first date can like she's going to ask like, what do you do? You're like YouTube. Oh, that's cool. What do you do? You know, that type of thing. They're going to eventually get it out of you what you do and what your channel name is probably.

They're going to go look up your shit and think of all the stuff you said. I know. It's like that's not a good first impression. and think of all the stuff we've said. And it's like, that's not a good first impression. That robs us of us swindling them later on in the relationship with this bullshit. Yeah, well, I mean, at the end of the day, no one forced us to put all this shit out there.

No, no, no, no, no. No, but I'm saying this is a fault that I'm noticing with like, holy shit, I say all these things. I know, and then I'm like, wow, when I meet someone, even like a distant family member, and they go check out my channel, I'm like, uh-oh these things. I know. And then I'm like, wow, when I meet someone, like even like a distant family member and they go check out my channel, I'm like, uh-oh, don't do that.

I know. I remember like one of my family members that I talked to like once every two years was like, what's your YouTube channel? And I was like, oh, good Lord. Good Lord, no. Because they were with my grandma and I was like, please don't show this to my grandma.

Oh, no. I mostly just say I work online and if I ever have to say it, mostly just say I work online and I, if I ever have to say it, I just say I work for Game Grumps. I'm not saying I'm embarrassed of Super Mega. It's just like, I don't want. First impressions to be this channel

where we're making like dick jokes and saying all this stuff. Someone that I'm getting to know has this catalog of days of just instances of me talking and getting like, they could get to know me essentially some in through some aspects of podcasts and stuff i can't get to know them just as fast i have to take my time and ask them questions and get to know them they can go straight to youtube and hear a bunch of conversations that i've had yeah exactly you know what i mean

yeah so i just figured like it's gonna be harder in the future when it comes to like meeting people yeah yeah i've thought about that before, too. But, you know, at the end of the day, I still like doing Super Mega. Oh, I love it. I mean... I love doing this shit. Even if it hinders my ability to form relationships with human beings on a personal level. I mean, that's fine.

I mean, I love doing this shit. And I'm, like, I'm super grateful to everyone who actually supports us because... Oh, my God. While we don't have this foaming at the teeth fan base like a Paul bro, we still have a really dedicated fan base that is really cool. Really supportive and just filled with some really cool people. Everyone's welcome. And I'm glad that I see a bunch of different types of people.

Yeah, absolutely. Like enjoying the channel seriously we just want to say thank you to all of you who watch us who support us who share us around who buy the merch just thank you guys so much

it really does mean a lot that there's people out there that actually like what we do and you guys are what keep us going to keep doing this. So thank you so much. And you know, it's, um,

with that, I think it's, it's, it's a good point to, to end this episode 66 spooky, spooky podcast. What do you say, Ryan?

You want to go trick or treating? Ah! Oh, fuck. God damn it. You scared me with that one. You probably scared everyone else too. Look at that audio.

Look at you peek at the microphone right there. Bye guys. Happy Halloween. Woo! You probably scared everyone else too. Look at that audio. Look at you peek at the microphone right there. Bye, guys. Happy Halloween. Woo!
