A common question that I get is about increasing penile length. Many guys are concerned that they don't measure up and are interested to know what their options are. In this video, I'm going to talk about what average length actually is, what options are out there, and whether or not they work, and find out what their options are. and fine should I get a notepad to write some of this down the penis is stretched to its maximum length and measured the average stretched penile length is five point two one inches I think that data is a little skewed yeah let's get started maybe they meant like if maybe they meant yard I mean maybe I think they meant

centimeters centimeters for sure five centimeters stretched all the way out would make sense but let's you want to get started well welcome everyone to another fantastic episode of The Super Mega Show. Wait, wait, wait. Luke, don't put the, that first part in. Yeah. Like, start it here. Welcome everyone to another fantastic episode of The Super Mega Show starring Ryan McGee.

And? Sorry, slipped my mind. And? Oh my god, what's my name? Uh, starts with an M for sure. Mike, Michael. It's not Mark or Matt. Matt. Matt. That's it. Okay. Matt Watson. I thought for sure it was and I'm like, no that's an editor

for Markiplier. I remember that was you. Yeah. Okay, okay, okay. Thank fucking God dude, I never went by Mattiplier because... How close were you at one point? Did that thought ever cross your mind? Dude, you and Daniel suggested it and you were kind of pushing me in that direction, where you were like, you should go by Mattiplier, since you're like his editor, and like, underneath him. Yeah, but I think Daniel was being kind of a little like facetious. Yeah, totally.

I don't think he was trying to help you out. But I actually contemplated making my online name be Mattiplier, and that would have, I'm really glad I didn't do that. Imagine if that was your handle and everything. To this day? Yeah to this day. Well I guess you would have changed it at some point. I don't know man. Unless it stuck. If it works it works. Mattiplier? It's Lord Matthew 777. I think that would have been a good user Dave. Dude what are the odds you have to go on Twitter and change your Twitter handle officially to LordRyan777?

I don't even get on Twitter. Exactly. I'm not updating, I'm not getting on that fucking place. Dude, I'm just thinking about like an alternate universe where I did go by Matta Plyer. Do you think that Super mega would be where it is today? It'd probably be a lot bigger Really think I think you would have had like a crisis at some point and I think you would have still I think Your era of if you have a let's player as your profile picture

change it that's not my voice dude that would have been that era would have been more aggressive that era would have been funnier it would have been funnier but more currently embarrassing yeah the era of 2015 and early 2016 where I was trying to shed that I'm trying to shed the stands, the Markiplier Jacksepticeye stands because it was like, a lot of my following was from Mark's audience so they were all like Markiplier profile pictures and the thing was they didn't gel with our sense of comedy very well. They were, I remember a lot of them and I'm not going to say all of them because a lot of fans did come from that, you know, section of the internet. But I feel like a lot of them did more easily jump at the chance of going for the

worst-case scenario of our intentions through a sketch or a joke. Of course, of course. And we wanted to kind of shed that and get a new audience. Which the best way to go about life is assume the worst out of everyone you know. Yes, I learned that very young and it's always kept me afloat. So I was, if you have a let's player as your profile picture, change it.

And I was popping off, man. I was going nuts on Twitter. Yeah, you were. And if I went by Mattiplier, it would have made that entire phase a lot funnier because it would be like a true character change where I'm like, I'm no longer Mattiplier. And maybe people would have cared more when you left the Markiverse. The Mattiplier left the Markiverse?

Oh my god. Keemstar would have been reporting on it yeah Mattiplier well Keemstar reported on Mark saying the n-word at one point yeah he did very um uh panic inducing because i was the one who edited that particular video he didn't say the n-word no he didn't say the n-word it was just like uh he was he was talking really quick and and it just catch a tiger right and said he said catch a tigger by his toe and it and it it sounded if you listen with bad and like I guess not bad intentions but if but if you listen to it you could deduce yeah it sounds like that and Markiplier a great the wonderful great voice that he has he does have a bit of

a mush mouth he mushes some when he speaks fast yeah and I great voice that he has, he does have a bit of a mush mouth. He mushes some. When he speaks fast. Yeah. And I don't know. He has a lot of saliva that pools in his lower mouth. Well, we tried to teach him how to, he says he swallows once every five minutes

because he said that it's more efficient for saving energy. And you and I would tell him like, dude, you gotta swallow when you gotta swallow whether that's every 10 seconds or every 30 seconds and he's like no every five minutes it's energy efficient and he would helps clean the mouth too he would get his mouth teary off of my teeth exactly smell my breath yeah it was bad and then he would have drool dripping out but I remember you and I. Yeah you do. Did I?

Hey, I remember. Did I do this? Yeah, which is fine. Limp wrist? Which is fun. I just pictured Dale shaking his head. He's watching this going, oh! No, somewhere right now he was like

probably painting something just, ah! Ha ha! You'll get a text soon that just goes, hey, worried about your son. Like a. I'm thinking of you lately. When Voldemort's near and Harry Potter's like, ah! Ah! Ah!

Ah! Whenever you do it, whenever there's a cocked wrist. When there's a limp wrist flare, he goes, oh! Or whenever I put my hands too high on my hips, like when I, when I. That's so comfortable. It is, dude. But I remember

editing for Mark and for Game Grumps our biggest stress inducer was if we made an editing mistake which happened which happened quite a bit yeah some coins classic classic classic editing mistake where every single clip in a Game Grumps best of best of was labeled some coins. Okay, but in your defense, it's a really, it was, they fixed it in Premiere, but it used to be, if you copied and pasted a title, you could change. If you changed it, it would change every other single title. But if you alt copy, if you did some other copy, you wouldn't have that problem. I was just, I accidentally just did the same copy.

So then the very last one that you typed in the video was some point and it made all of them. I should have scrubbed through. But typically I was just rushing to get the work done. But basically, I remember the panic that would be induced if we realized that a Markiplier video or Gangram's video had gone up with an editing mistake. Because the fans would be the first to react.

Oh, and they would start adding Markiplier, they would start adding Aaron and go, oh, there's an error in the new video, Matt and Ryan need to fix it. And we would be rushing to try to get it fixed. But I remember, this is when we lived with Mark, I think it was when we lived with Mark, and we're chilling and I hear you, your phone, I hear a Twitter video playing and it's Keemstar going,

do I report on Markiplier saying the N word in his new video today? And I remember my heart just, boom. I was like, oh, what is he talking about? And we rushed and watched it and both of our hearts were like pounding out of our chest. That's not what he said. And yeah, it was. Cause of our chest. That's not what he said. And yeah, it was a...

Cause it's not. It's not. I remember like nothing could parallel that fear. Or when we'd be sitting in a Game Grumps weekly meeting and then we'd check our phone and see that like... Aaron sent us a text message warning us that Brendan brushes teeth that morning. Well, I mean he didn't even have to text us.

Fucking talk about heart sinking down to the pit of your stomach. Oh my God. Well sometimes I couldn't tell, is it his breath or is it his penis? And usually it was his penis, but when it was his breath. Typically it's because he got his ribs removed

so he could practice sucking on his smelly penis. Right, and usually the flavor gets stuck in his mouth. Like he could do this on a Saturday morning. Yeah. Monday meeting, it's still, the scent is there, but I remember like, you check and you see a Reddit post or tweets at us that are like, of course,

episode 212 of Paper Mario has no audio, and I was like, fuck! Oh no. And I rush. Sometimes it would be an export error. Yeah. Sometimes like, premiere there would be rushed. Sometimes it would be an export error. Sometimes like Premiere there would be a problem where you'd go back in the timeline

and everything was fine, the sound was there, it was just an exporting issue. Some stupid last minute click even maybe. Yeah, there were all these issues we used to have with Premiere where everything would be fine but it would export one of the audio tracks muted and because we wouldn't watch through the episodes afterwards because at the time Game Grumps was dropping

three videos a day and we were also editing. Steam Train and the two usual episodes. And we were editing Super Mega and other channels. Yeah. When that was around and then. Only played for a bit. Just a little bit. For like two months.

We're a tiny fraction of it. But basically we were, there were a lot of videos that we had to put out every day so we didn't watch back through them sometimes and Brent would get out the whip, which stunk, and he would crack it upon our sweet supple backs, still have the scars. And I think I also have some permanent nasal damage from.

That could just be genes though. Well it kind of. You've had problems with that shit, you know, since you were in grade school. Not really though, but I mean the nasal damage, it's like my scent of smell is almost doled now and not from COVID and it really started around the time I met Brent.

Did you do the vanilla test? Cover yourself in vanilla, see if you can smell it? No, but I should. Because if you can smell it, then your nose is fine. If you can't, you need to go to a hospital. So I just put vanilla extract, rub it on myself? Just put it on yourself. Okay.

And then you go stand out in the sun. It has to be at least 100 degrees outside. Well, I mean... Which will be good these days. Yeah, no problem right now. I mean, it's... I don't know why I checked my watch. Doesn't have the temperature on it. But it-

I heard this on a podcast. One of the big one with the kind of beard thing going on. He said something about covering myself in vanilla. You know, I got COVID and I haven't been able to smell anything and I was wondering if I could still do it or if maybe my senses in general have dulled so I heard on the super mega show podcast the guy with the beard that I was talking about It's just a podcast that I really like also. It's this guy Matt Watson

He also makes music and I I've actually have an album of it. Just I've just gotten get into it like that that that gave me like a frustrated I've just gotten get into it like a that that that gave me like a frustrated like ball of Rage in the pit of my stomach because I was like get to the vanilla thing Yeah, but it's like oh, but I it's like people who think that they need to explain the entire like the entire World and how this like a moment came to be when it's just like no no no no just the story I probably do that sometimes.

Well, I'm sure we all do. Yeah, yeah, we all do. To some extent. Did you know vanilla is a, I read this, and you know, what you read on the internet typically turns out to be true. Tell me. I read that vanilla is actually one of the most complex

flavor notes for your palette that's out there. That's why I love vanilla ice cream. But, stop. We also, we haven't, you know, we're so used to it that it doesn't seem complex. I've probably told this. Yeah, but that's why my favorite's vanilla because I have the most complex palate

out of the two of us, probably. That's true, that's true. French bean especially. Well, I mean the thing is when my, from being around Brent, now that my sense of smell is dulled, that unfortunately affects my palate, my sense of taste. So, you're a stronger man than I,

so your nose didn't seem to get any nerve damage or anything like that, but. Not at all. Vanilla is a delicious flavor, I will say. Like. I tend to not really like the extract, for like, you know when you buy vanilla from the store, typically. Yeah, and you take a sip, it's nasty.

Typically when I use it or other people use it, it's always a little too much. It's always that feeling that I get when there's truffle in something where it's like, truffle can accent something, or vanilla can accent something, but it just being the pure flavor you're eating. Because vanilla ice cream is very tame.

It doesn't have a pungent, right like it doesn't like hit your mouth Like I feel like extra well, it's extract. So of course, it's gonna be fucking strong as shit Well, I did I would I had to teach you that you can't just drink it So when we live together you were buying the bottles and sip well I thought it was I thought it was just the liquid form of the ice cream and I was like you who let's go I was gonna I thought it was gonna be a good time, but it wasn't I was coughing and gagging It was just too much. Well, I mean, you'd probably done that

for two months straight every day until I told you. I didn't know what you were doing in your room. First I thought it was a beard oil. Yeah, which I wouldn't complain about that few weeks because it actually was quite pleasant. And soft. Yeah, it actually worked. Speaking of which, I noticed you've got a bit

of a facial hair trim And it's looking oh, yeah, it's looking clean. I do that from time to time looking nice, dude I have to when you said the beard thing earlier I looked at your beard and I was like, oh my god, it is a beard thing. It's it's trimmed up. It's shaped It's not like a an oval thing right here. Nice, dude I just need to trim up my neck a little bit. The razor that I have at home doesn't really do a good job. I can get you if you want.

We got the razor in the bathroom. Ad break? Yeah, let's go shave you. When we started podcasting, an online merch store was the furthest thing from our minds.

Thanks man. Of course man. Brofist did. You know, PewDiePie has the brofist. I think because he doesn't really do videos anymore, you know, he kind of just does like a video every now

and then. Family vlogs or shit? Yeah, he's like, I live in Japan bros and I got really ripped. Don't come to Japan. Yeah. Brofist is not necessarily really in use. And you know how there's kind of that whole thing where like with copyright law, if something is not really in use, you have a better argument. Was it like for 15 years or something like that? Five years. I can't remember the span of time. We are the funny brothers. Shorten brothers. It's bro. I feel like it just kind of works better for us. Brofist. Okay. You know? Like as a funny brothers thing. Brofist

me. I mean, there's a lot of people who don't even remember that era because they didn't grow up with the PewDiePie that we knew. The Pewds. And then, so I guess we could for a new generation. Brofist me. Nice. Okay. That's our, we came up with that. That's our new thing. I could definitely catch on, I'm sure.

I think it could too. Yeah. History repeats itself, you know? Yeah. So what's there to get upset about? Nothing. Who's upset? No one's upset.

Oh. You referencing, I thought someone would be upset. No, no, no. Said nothing to be upset. No one's upset. Oh. You referencing, I thought someone would be upset. No, no, no. Said nothing to be upset about. I didn't know if there was something that someone might be upset about. Yeah. It's hypothetical.

So I don't wanna make people upset. No, I don't wanna make people upset either. I wanna please everyone, but if someone's upset. Unless they're a libtard cuck. Yeah, I don't wanna do that at all. I said unless. Right, right, that's what I'm saying. You do? I don't wanna upset anyone, unless they're a libtard c that's what I'm saying. I don't want to upset anyone

unless they're a libtard cuck. Then I'm fine with upsetting them. I can trigger them and that's pretty funny. Yep. But uh yeah brofist me guys. Do you want to just be a bad human being? Sure. And just say that's my politics bro. Sorry it's my politics. That's what Jesus would have done. Disgusting LGBTQ, gross! That's exactly what Jesus would have said. He did say it, it's in the Bible. He'd hold up signs with the F slur, you know? Yep, yep, that's a historical, I think that's in what book of the Bible was that?

John, where that whole scene happens? Yeah, because that's Jesus' last name. Right. Jesus Johnson. You know what really? Because of his big Johnson. He had a huge, huge Johnson. People back then were named, you know,

people say he was a carpenter. Right. He wasn't Jesus' carpenter. No, he wasn't Jesus'. Sabrina's Carpenters, I guess, family line does go back to them, but not Jesus. It's funny. Jesus Johnson, for his big Johnson. Sabrina's Carpenter's family line does go back to them, but not Jesus. Jesus Johnson.

For his big Johnson. Not to be confused, our editor Johnson is not called that for that reason. No. No. No. That's just his first name. His name is, well, I don't want to give away his last name. Last names are funny.

I'll give you a hint. Middle name, Jingle. Okay. Yeah, and that's it don't don't give anyone anything else, but Last names are funny cuz a lot of people their last names originally come from I guess whatever their family Did way back in the past probably were electrician Watson yeah or maybe you were just like from a family whose dad was just like not like Just fucked every woman imaginably. He's like what son? I don't know which what what are you talking about?

Something like that. I'm trying to think there's what what that's good trying to think of something else how it could connect well, actually I looked up the the etymology of it and it's it's a Son of Walter is what that means. That's boring Jesse, you know, so that's that's not I guess I could check. I let me check McGee like what what is We've 100% done this on an old super mega cast episode. But I Can't I really can't But I guess someone had to be the first person in your family with that last name. Because like, where did it start?

I guess. Oh, mine was just, it's kind of like the same thing. Mick Gee. Except it's like, son of, how do I pronounce this? A-O-D-H, capital A. Aud? Aud? Aud?

Son of Aud. Is that like an Irish God? Cause your last name is Irish, right? Derived of the Gaelic names Mag Aud or Mag Auda. I really don't know. Auda. Like I have to say it like Arnold's 40th. Yeah, that's what I was about to say.

So your last name is Gaelic? I guess. Mine's Scottish, I think. McGee is a gender neutral name. Yo, you got that they then last name. Means, oh wait, wait. This thing's also saying it means son of Hugh. What?

How does that make sense? You know, I... I don't know, man. Do you think you're the most famous McGee? No. Maniac McGee. Fuck. That's right. Was that the Disney Channel story where they ended racism?

Yep. Is it really? Mm-hmm. I don't know. What's the Disney Channel thing where it's like one half of the town is... There's like a... I know what you're talking about. Is that not... Hold up.

Look up Maniac McGee because I'm curious. The surname Watson is of English and Scottish origin and believed to have patronymic roots, meaning it refers to someone who was the son of Walter or Watt. Okay. It was common in the 1200s and 1300s and is still popular today. Ranking 19th most common last name in Scotland and 46th in England as of 2015. And the United States, Watson is the 76th most popular surname. So I guess you could say I'm in the top 100.

The story follows 12-year-old Jeffrey Lionel, Maniac. Hey! An orphaned runaway with many extraordinary and athletic talents who arrives in a town divided with racial conflict. Developed as early as 1999, the film was filmed in 2001 and broadcast on Nickelodeon on February 23rd, 2003. So it was a Nickelodeon movie, but it was based on a novel. There's a Nickelodeon movie that is starring- Drinking Josh Save Christmas. Not that one.

It is starring Gibby from iCarly and it's like a mafia, like a charming kid's mafia type thing, but like every single actor from The Sopranos is in it. Like even James Gandolfini, he is in it. Every dude like- It was all Nickelodeon? Yeah, all the big characters from The Sopranos is in it. Like even James Gandolfini, he is in it. Every dude like all Nickelodeon. Yeah, all the big characters from the Sopranos play mobsters on that. And I don't remember why.

Is it like a kid friendly mobster show? It was a movie and actually, oh, it's because it was directed by one of the guys from Sopranos. I forgot who, but Michael Corleone. That's the Godfather. Yeah, that's the Godfather, which I saw once and I gotta say kind of boring

No watch part two and tell me to tell me what you think then buddy Have you seen no part one of them? Oh, I just heard that part two is the best one. I thought they like I Had to add that in as a comma Exclamation point I thought it was kind of boring and I know that there's a lot of film bros punching the air right now, but I don't know, it's long, which I usually don't mind long movies, but I just thought it was kind of slow, but maybe I just didn't get it. And I saw this many years ago, like five or six years ago, so So maybe I just wasn't you know, my brain hadn't matured enough, but I'm down to give it another shot

I just thought it was kind of boring. Yeah, I mean it was Jerry Seinfeld's first like directorial debut, so it wasn't as shining as As a lot of people I guess were expecting they were expecting more of a comedy from him So that is. He kind of threw people off. So I think by the second one he found his footing. Yeah and also the second one he had help writing it. From Larry.

Yeah. And uh. David. Yeah Larry, David. Not the cucumber. And also I think uh. In case you were uh. In case anyone was, how does that happen?

I forgot that Veggie Tales movies were actually in theaters. And guess what? There's a new one coming out. Yep. 2026. Fuck. It's a far away away. Gotta at least live to 2026.

I wonder what'll come out first. The new Larry Boy theatrical movie. Or GTA 6. Yep. Because GTA 6 has already been pushed back and usually that means from what I've seen the typical road is they'll push it back once and then they'll push it back to the real date they actually need around the time that date comes because it buys them a little buffer and then they because if you say hey it's not coming out to26, all the hype and stuff that was built up is gonna die down.

So I think they're creating waves of hype. It seems like every time I see a project get delayed, it's never just delayed once. No. It's never like, we're pushing the date and then it comes out on that date. It's always like two, three, four times. Making games is tricky business.

Oh yeah, I mean it's very, very difficult difficult and I do feel really bad honestly for the game developers who work for these AAA companies who are just subject to like shitty working conditions, low pay and then they're forced to basically rush the game and then the game gets just like torn apart obviously by fans and critics. Because there's a lot like people put themselves into the game in terms of like, sure, like it is like some, in some aspect, I'm sure a lot of people, it's a nine to five, whatever. But in other aspects, this is some people's passion.

Also some people really care about, like are very connected to the projects they're working on and wanna put their own spin. Like I, I really like the whole concept of the design team that was working with essentially, a lot of people do this, but Miyazaki with the Souls-like games, he was very open to artists to,

he had an idea for something, but he was very open for artists to give input. So he, cause it's like, you know, you might have these blinders that you're not seeing. Right, right. Just one little design change could like make something like an enemy or a boss a little more, a little more fun and theatrical and visually pleasing.

No dude, creative collaboration is fucking epic. You always fucking swing in, you, you fly in like a beautiful bald eagle and you drop like the best idea or add on to something that I've ever heard. Like pea soup? Some of your best work. Oh yeah, man.

Dude, but game, I love game design and game dev stuff and I've been trying to do it more by learning Construct 3. I really wanna make a point and click game for the Funny Brothers website. Something easy. Just a simple, fun little, maybe three different endings. Can you unlock them all?

We could even start on that this week, take some pictures. But that's besides the fact. I feel bad for those game developers, like those programmers and artists, because honestly, you have to be very talented, honestly, to work on a big game. Your programming skills have to be really good. If you're an artist, your art skills have to be

pretty top notch, and they get paid like shit, and then they're kind of forced to make a shitty product because they get rushed by the studios. Where it's like, oh no, now depending on, depending on what the publishers want, because the publishers are, I guess, the ones that really give the final say. Like the executive producers of a movie.

So it's like, depending on them, it's either gonna be something good or decent for your portfolio, or it's gonna be kind of like you put it on your portfolio and if it doesn't go over well cause the quality was rushed out and it's like, oh you were a part of this broken game? You helped make this piece of shit? And then a lot of the, I feel like people who enjoy games

as a hobby understand this at this point I would hope, but I do see a lot of vitriol towards development teams on things that are more of the publishers doing. What were they thinking? Yeah, where it's like, obviously this was not a part of the original plan. I know, and that sucks too for them because I guarantee on a lot of these things, a lot of these developers and programmers and stuff don't want that choice.

They want a different choice that probably the gamer would enjoy more, but they have to do this. And then when they see people getting mad at them, it's probably very frustrating. Like succumbing to fads, like the battle pass systems or live service games where a more recent one that I can think of, or the two two big ones they're both kind of like superhero titles one from one is from Square Enix and one is from I believe Rocksteady who did the Arkham games one is like this Marvel not Ultimate Alliance but this Marvel online game where you unlock a bunch of stuff and it's just like a lot of people

said that the gameplay was fun but it just just like, it's very, at the end of the day, very shallow because they were, it looks like they put a lot of effort into creating that games as a live service or they put more thought into how this game would work as a live service instead of working as a game complete. Gotcha. You know what I mean? And like they've, they got a lot of blowback for, what is it, like, they want you to only be able

to play games while you're connected to the internet? What was it? Yes, yeah, that was a big thing that was being pushed, I believe, in the switch between, like Microsoft was pushing it big in between the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One. And that went over horribly. Yeah. Which they had to go.

Not anymore, but I think they have still set that in place. We were playing, we were streaming Far Cry Primal last week. And lo and behold, like three times before we got the hardwired connection, it would just kick us out of the game because we didn't have an online connection. And this is, Far Cry Primal is a game

that doesn't even offer multiplayer to my knowledge. So it's- No, it's fully offline I think. It's a single player experience. And I believe I had the same experience with Lies of P recently on the Xbox at one point. So it's like that system seems to be in play. That's really dumb.

What is the reasoning behind that? Because like, if your internet is down, you just can't play Xbox? Like, what is the reasoning behind this? There has to be some reason. Verification that you own the game that you're playing, which is ridiculous. Oh, is it just constantly checking?

I think so. It's like, you being online is like the signifier of like the green light going bing. That's so dumb. Everything's good. This is the account that's actually that owns the game. It's kind of like that. Actually, Nintendo did something similar with the Switch because, sorry, say that. Oh, I got some good news. I was just going to say, I would try to games offline, like on an airplane or in the airport,

where I'm not connected to wifi, and it would just say like checking to see if you can play the software, and then it would go unable to connect to the internet. Can't even launch an offline game. Which is so dumb, like why? It's so stupid, so I would have to try to connect to the plane wifi, like just for a second,

just so it can pass that verification and I think it's because like that switch is not my my main switch because I had another one that I lost I ended up finding it but like it just wouldn't let me play games offline it was really frustrating go ahead well how about I surprise you with this story after this next set of ad reads? OOOH! Music Amen All right, welcome back everyone Amen. All right, welcome back everyone. Good news for me and fun news for y'all.

Because I made a switch at some point, no pun intended. I had a regular switch and then I got an OLED switch at some point like a year and a half or something. Whenever I got it. It was like over a year ago at this point, I believe. But I transferred my accounts, lo and behold, I didn't know that my Animal Crossing town was now locked to my old console. It's not like saved data that transfers. But recently, I dug deep and I looked up

Nintendo Life's tutorial for how to transfer your island and it was a breeze. You download an island transfer app on both consoles. You told me about it and bada boom the bog is finally, finally back home where he belongs. I took a little stroll through my place. How's it looking? It's good Here's the problem though that I found like I'm missing just a like three more fish and like five more bugs before I

100% both of those things Mm-hmm one thing well, they're seasonal and it's just kind of like My town's already made to how I like it I don't imagine what more, like what does the game have that would keep me invested? Well you haven't played it since they, I did the diving stuff. Since they did the big update, you haven't played it.

Like this is the first time you've played it since. And they've added like the farming stuff. They've added a lot. But other than getting more bells, which I don't need because I just paid off my last home loan. If only it was that easy in real life. I know. Dude, but I was like, I just don't know the longevity of,

I don't know, this game feels very much like a spend a shit ton of time building your town, and then once you're personally happy with it, and me being personally happy with my town isn't like the whole place is filled with sidewalks and streets and decorations. It's just kind of like very Kind of done up in the front and then chill nature in the back because I still like the nature aspect like the amateur settings

So I like to keep some of it untouched, but it's like I died There's nothing really pulling me back unless it's like oh if I caught those last three fish Then I'd have all the fish you should restart. That's what I did I have such a nostalgic and nice connection with the town that I made that though And create a new town There's got to be a way to do a safe like to save it and start a new town like on an SD card or something You can only have like one per account slash switch right? What if you make a new switch profile? No one island per switch

So the switch profiles have to live on the same island, but you have two switches, right? Yes, but my Nintendo account Oh is on The OLED that's kind of dumb. Hmm. That's it's actually really dumb because I restarted my town Which I kind of regret just because my original town Well, I had a ton of fun when I restarted it But my original town was the one that was the first time I played and that was right when lockdown started so it's a little bit like I Don't know. It was hard to delete that town and I'm sure you have a hard time because the bog

I mean, that's that's kovat locked down memories right there so much just Grinding building. Yeah, like three levels up, you know creating forests and stuff that got us through the first lockdown Yeah, dude, that was such a weird time like when you look back it's not even that long ago it's like what four years ago now, but it's like and you look back, it's not even that long ago. It's like what, four years ago now? But it's like still, when that first happened and it was like everyone stay at home and everything shuts.

It was time traveling, because things weren't like back to usual for two years. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it was like one and a half year, I guess. It was like they just got back to normal in like a month, period. It was just like, COVID's gone. We're like, oh, okay okay you remember that first kind of

like okay we're going out to social events you have your mask on you're kind of nervous what a time some of the best times of our lives i think that that i spent in covid in our lifetime so you and i lived through 9 11 which is obviously I think the biggest historical event at least United States history wise and Then not the assassination of Osama bin Laden But we so you think so you not our victory is bigger than than a small little defeat if you want to call it That show me the body That we threw it in the ocean Out of a helicopter.

Catch and release. We set him free finally. He became a mer-person. He's swimming with his mermaid friends now and but I think COVID is like the biggest event of our lifetime so far in terms of... The actual tangible effects that you could see. Yes, that affects us, because 9-11 affected us in, you know,

not in direct ways unless you were in the tower. Then it really affected you in a pretty direct way. If you were alive, I bet you Hugo would have been that. Hurricane Hugo? Yeah. 1989? Uh-huh. Yeah, I mean that Hugo would have been that. Hurricane Hugo? Yeah. 1989? Uh-huh. Yeah, I mean that was pretty fucking brutal. It was.

My mom, it made landfall like right a little north of Charleston. Well, even in Columbia and Irma, like inland, it was causing a big ruckus. It was a category five at the time, but they downgraded it after the fact to category four. So they're just trying to take that title away from them. I don't like it. But it was just as bad as Katrina. Yes. the fact that category four, so they're just trying to take that title away from them. I don't like it. It was just as bad as Katrina. Yes.

And it hit dead of night, which is very scary, but my mom and dad's house, completely gone. Not anything left, just the foundation. So when they were evacuated and then they came back, and I actually found a VHS recently that I had that I brought home from Charleston and I put it in my VCR and it was footage from like the day or the week after Hurricane Hugo hit Charleston and it was my uncle like just walking around filming with my grandma and like dude it is everything is fucking gone it's just house foundations and piles of rubble everywhere. It happens when you live below sea level.

It was fucking crazy. Not below sea level, oh Charleston. Yeah, I mean it's- Downtown Charleston has- It's essentially below like- It when it rains, downtown fucking floods like crazy. Yeah. But yeah, Hugo destroyed my parents' house completely.

And then my grandma's house was on the cover of Time Magazine or something. It was just like an aerial photo of like six houses just fucking destroyed. And hers happened to make the cut. So I'm really scared of a category four or five wrecking Charleston sometime soon this year, because they said that this hurricane season

is going to be one of the worst on record. Don't they always say that each year? And I know that there's some truth to it but I feel like there's also a little bit of turn to the weather channel. Yeah, I mean they always do say it's going to be... Turn to channel 19, the only channel where you will get up-to-date updates on potentially dangerous hurricane activity, potentially.

But this year's a little different because of the ocean temperatures. It's like abnormally hot. And the predictions, like the National Hurricane Center predictions are like way higher than normal. They do to a degree every year be like, this is gonna be a bad year, but this one is different.

It's probably because a couple of hot dudes entered the ocean this year. Oh yeah, blow fished me. But there's already- The hot dudes being Matt and I yes We're not talking about other hot dudes entering the ocean, but I don't look at dudes in that way Oh, absolutely not unless they're just Too fine to pass up. Oh, I get it in that case. They have a nice little tushy Oh my beautiful chiseled jawline, but looking like a looking like a Squidward clone. Like chiseled Squidward. Yeah chiseled, yeah

handsome Squidward. Not squid Squidward. Not octopus Squidward. Squilliam might depending on if I've had any drinks but there's already usually the big hurricanes are like August and July I mean August and September but already there's there's been the second hurricane of the year already hit category five status and usually that doesn't happen until way later in the hurricane season and this one like decimated the Caribbean and it's very very rare for it to happen in July. It's the earliest. Not senior frogs! Yep, senior frogs. Decimated. It's gone. Where will I get sex on the beach, nachos, and moist tacos in the same location? Now when you say

sex on the beach are you talking about the the cocktail or are you talking about? The cocktail. They don't allow sex in senior frogs establishments. No, they don't, if they see it they'll kick you out. Have you actually read that rule in writing though? No sex, no intercourse allowed? Last time I was there, because I go to Senior Frogs all the time. Yeah. Sometimes I take a cruise or a private jet just to go to Senior Frogs. Fuck all the snorkeling and other bullshit that the Caribbean... I get it, I get it. It's good. Yeah. One time I went there, or at least the

last time I went there, the waitress offered me a little sex and I was like, at a Senior Frogs? Are you sure? A little off the menu item. At a senior frogs are you sure? Little off the menu item. Mm-hmm. Lo and behold, as we're about to, as I'm about to enter the senior frogs employee. Right, right. The manager comes busting in, starts yelling.

Like rain's popping out of his neck. You know you're not allowed to have sex in this establishment. No you didn't. And then he started the blush and goes, what? Fuck. And then I was like, fuck, what do you mean by fuck? Then I looked at the girl and her and him

were having eye contact. They were trying to make me break the rules so I would stop coming back and getting their free chili nacho supreme surprise. It was a conspiracy? Yep. Holy shit dude. But guess what?

What? Didn't fall for it. So I'm still allowed at Senior Frogs because I chose not to have sex in the establishment. You didn't penetrate yet. She was willing to give her job up just to get me out. I was apparently hurting business that bad. So many free drinks and as I said the free chili cheese nacho supreme. Sex on the beach. Plus the free chili cheese nacho surprise. Supreme surprise. Supreme surprise, yeah. I mean.

The name's kind of, I get it mixed up all the time, but yeah, that's right. Listen dude, they shouldn't have made that happy hour free deal, especially for you, if they didn't want people to use it. And you didn't actually penetrate though, right? You were about to. No.

Penis erect? I didn't have my tighty-whities off yet. Oh, but was penis erect? Huh? Was penis erect with blood? It was chubbed. Okay. What percentage?

That's only because I was crossing, like I'm doing now, I was crossing my legs at the table. Gotcha. I was squeezing my balls and penis. Right, right, so the blood, you couldn't fully enter. If I'm trying to keep an erection away, what I do is I do this and I squeeze my balls and penis so the blood is unable to enter my balls and penis,

therefore it can't be inflated and erect with blood. I treat it like a dog, flick him on the nose. Mm-hmm. Bad boy. Yell at him a little bit. No, no sir. It kinda does the opposite for me So I kind of just have to shut my eyes and just imagine something not sexy

But all this to say in case you go to a senior frogs Don't have sex or if an employee is offering you sex don't it's a trap They're trying to get you banned from the establishment. No, no, no, no this this might not be a senior frogs Franchise wide rule this might not be a senior frogs franchise wide rule this might just be that one specific location. It's a good location. It's a great location but I mean they have them they have the wettest chips of them all for their nachos they are wet yeah. Not a crunch to be had which I love. There's one in Barbados that uh I feel like you might be able to have a little sex there and the manager might not mind.

Okay. Yeah. I don't know, we should do a cruise soon. I'm willing to test it out. Go on a Mediterranean cruise? Go on a European cruise? Alaskan cruise? You name it.

I've never been to... I've never been to Europea. So... Europea. Sorry, Europe it. I've never been to never been to you European So opia. Yes, or you're opia. I've never been if it was named that instead of Europe imagine how cool it like it would know Yeah, it would make it even More than I don't already see what I did there. Yeah, I see what you did Europe is such a cool fucking name like why do they do Europe like it rhymes with syrup? And that's a fucking lame name if you are if you're watching or listening to this from Europe fuck you I'm sorry I was rude I shouldn't let me take it back a little bit I do wish that honestly though we we were a little more because

like old generals and stuff like that like if you look through history a lot of them are very childish and have big egos. I really wish that America and Canada and the United Kingdom and all this place was literally just called like Richard Land. And like. Because they name it after themselves always. Yeah, like King Richard would just, nope, it's not the United Kingdom anymore,

it's Richard Land. Richard Land? Like Richard Space Land. Oh, not one word no Richard land no because I guarantee there's somewhere problem in the land of Richard yeah the land of Richard base land Charleston is named after that Charles town but not the country you know United States should have should have been better Richard land new Richard land No, you got no sorry. You got Richard land and then America to be Richard world

I've been the Queen has funded a voice to the new Richard world That's I wish we had more interesting interesting names Ladies and gentlemen, the president of Richardland. His name doesn't even have to be Richard. It could be anything. Thomasland? Yeah. Or Nelsonland? Mandela? No, unfortunately. No.

I wish that more rulers would change the names of the countries, though. Because would that be hard to do for a dictator? I don't mmm. So why don't they do it because who keeps it? I mean who actually is enforcing the rule that you can't name the country that you know Like how come North Korea isn't just nation of Kim like Kim land yeah Kim place Kim Topia Kimtopia dude that would be imagine dude. I would not hate North Korea as much if it was named Kimtopia. Kimtopia, dude that would be fucking awesome. Imagine, dude I would not hate North Korea as much if it was named Kimtopia. You hate North Korea? Yeah, because they're assholes that don't feed their people. Those are lies propagated by the West! And they have zero senior frog locations.

They do, not a damn one, not even in Town Square. We're gonna be doing a- What do they call it? Town Square. Dude, we're actually gonna be doing a- What do they call it? Town Square. Dude, we're actually gonna be doing a fundraiser next week, fundraiser stream, to try to raise money to open the first senior frogs in Pyongyang, North Korea. So look forward to that. Is there such a thing as Pyongchang? Yes, there is.

Where's that? It is a place in North Korea, and I remember you accidentally- So there's Pyongyang and Pyongchang? Both in North Korea? I wanna double check this, because if there's notyang and Pyongchang both in North Korea I want to double check this because if there's not a Pyongchang then we look a little racist Sure, there's a Pyongchang maybe it's a guy's name Hi, I'm Pyongchang. Oh

Nope Pyongchang is a county in Dongwon Province province South Korea. See it's a place. South Korea though. It's a Korea. Is there? It's a Korea. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Pyongchang. It's not like they speak a different. Well, it's a different dialect.

It's a different dialect, but it's not a different language. It's not like you have to learn. I mean, technically, yes, when you're learning a language, there's a lot ofs and like intraday I get it but like it is the same language right right same shit I actually uh was watching it was really cool um I've bought videos they weren't bug videos I had to kind of pump the brakes on those I was getting a little too obsessed and I was having you can get the brakes on those. I was getting a little too obsessed And I was having you can get into the beetle ones that I wish then no I did I did I was having thoughts This week and I checked it Tick-tock tells me if you know no I went on my computer and incognito and and looked at him

I don't think that works, but it does 100% Well the color was the first beetle then? It was black. Fuck. Second beetle? Gold. Second one was also, yeah. Okay, nevermind. Yep, I told you, I watched them.

But I follow this YouTube channel that has like 40,000 subscribers. Bugworld. Right? No, not Bugworld. Well, I I mean I do subscribe to bug world, but It's this guy and he has a satellite dish in his yard He lives in like Indiana or some shit and he has this big satellite dish in his backyard and he has all of this equipment in his like

bedroom or whatever for controlling the satellite dish and Where the bugs come in? The bugs don't come into the story dude. This is separate from the bugs. You just said you were about to tell a bug story. No I didn't. I didn't say I'm telling a bug story. Can you rewind that Luke?

I've got a great bug story to tell you. I'm excited to hear it. But this guy basically uh, he finds satellites and stuff from from his bedroom and he makes videos where he...

and he locks onto this North Korean satellite and he picks up the feed from it and it goes on to his television and it's just North Korean TV. It's like their state mandated TV So he waits until it's like 8 a.m In North Korea and he films his TV and like the morning news comes on and it starts with like all of this like The propaganda videos of like the music and like Kim Jong-un waving and stuff and it was really cool like this guy can just track Fucking satellites and pick up North Korean TV. He also said hello to the International Space Station and they said hi back from his backyard They said hi back to him mm-hmm why He he like used his

Satellite dished their satellite said or the International Space Station was like oh shit. Hey Kim Yeah, no not Kim Jong-un the guy in his backyard Okay, okay, okay.

They had a hotel in there too. It was a pretty big module. It disconnected from the rest of the space station with all of these brave souls inside, and it ended up crashing into the Indian Ocean and burning up and breaking into pieces.
